According to an apocryphal source,[1] the planet Kiamba is exceptionally large and hot, with three continents along the equator and extensive polar oceans. Between the continents, numerous island chains of volcanic origin (just like many of the mountain chains on land and beneath the oceans) exist. Most volcanoes are active to some degree, and earthquakes are common. In the temperate coastal regions where human habitation is possible, the economy relies mainly on agriculture and tree cultivation (first and third continent) as well as cattle breeding (second continent).

A number of continents and subcontinents between 3,000 and 11,000 across from north to south lie along the equator; numerous islands and island chains dot the polar oceans.[2]

The impression given is that of a jungle world, at least on the second continent. The local insect fauna includes the large Nebelwespe ("Smoke Wasp") and the finger-sized Kia-Mosquitos. The latter inject a bacterial poison that causes several days of fever.[3]

The capital city of Kiamba (as of 3054) is Kiamba City, with 400,000 inhabitants. It is situated on the north coast of the third continent at the swampy delta region of the Kiamba River. The city sports a space port with thirty circular landing recesses and an airfield, a large river port south of the swamps and a blue-water port west of the delta; a power plant is situated south of the river port and the HPG station is located between the power plant and the hovertrain station just south of the starport. The original government palace is situated on the southern boundary of the city, between the river port and the sea port.[4]
