With the discovery of Little Omicron nearly several earth months ago and recent divine alterations to the rotation speed of White Giant, the simfolk astronomers have been puzzled by the precise situation of these space entities in the solar system. "Are they all worlds or no?"
These discoveries have spurred further astronomical research into the existing worlds. In an effort to understand the divine nomenclature of the worlds, one bright researcher noted that the previous understanding of the worlds as belonging to two different solar systems was impossible:
Now, rather than merely one world in doubt, we have three. Does a world need countries to qualify as one? What do we make of the shared orbit of the Blue worlds?
In an effort to classify the simworlds, astronomers have agreed upon the following requirements for a world:
1. It must have playable countries.
2. It must dominate its orbit.
Little Omicron has thus been ruled out as a world and has been reclassified as an Extreme Hyperbole.
More importantly, since Fearless Blue is the larger of the Blue worlds, Kebir Blue has been reclassified as a Moon of Fearless Blue.
We now have only 4 worlds and 1 moon.

<!-Quote-!>Quote:Upon this discovery, the Blue worlds were found to be so named because they shared an orbit around this star.I . . . I just couldn't make sense of the distances between the worlds until I decided that, no, no, we're basing our studies of out-dated information. Kebir Blue doesn't pass through one month in 8 hours. Little Upsilon indeed exists. We were wrong to assume that the Blue worlds were named so because they orbited a different star than White Giant and Golden Rainbow which our Intro Tour showed. All worlds can only revolve around the same star, the distances don't make sense any other way.<!-/Quote-!>
