i feel as if we need a map of haven and of where it is on the world, then we could sort out time and travel, also with nations using FT in what seems to be a MT war that could be seen as godmoding.

<<OOC: A quick note on the adjective that would be used in regards to Shenzhou, as I notice that people have been doing different things: Often with Chinese names, the adjective is no different from the nouns, although occasionally people will add an "er" or something like that (Beijinger) or something like that (which in my opinion sounds king of stupid). Just as common, people will add an "ese" or "nese" to the end (Taiwanese, Shanghainese). The other thing to do is to give the place an English name and an English adjective (Canton/Cantonese for Guangdong). I would suggest that a standard adjective be agreed on.
Because Chinese has been so ingrained into Edolian culture, they normally will use Chinese to refer to things related to Shenzhou.
Shenzhoude would be "Shenzhou-'related'", possessive or adjective
Shenzhouren would be "Shenzhou-'people'"
My suggestion for writing in English though, would be to make the adjective 'Shenzhounese' which is what I expect I will do from now on (as I am writing in English, not Edolian).
Just a friendly note from your local sinophile.>>
