There are limited farmlands that produce enough food for all of us. It really is amazing how hard they work to support everyone here! Of course, they have to be careful about water usage, too. Oh, come to think of it, if you've just come here, that means you don't know about how we retain water and things like that, right?

...no?

It's all news to me.

Well, thanks to the advancements of this country, we're able to recycle all water and waste here! Nothing goes unused - isn't that incredible?!

What, so like - pee?

Perfectly filtered for use again through the system!

....hhhuh.

I mean. Whatever works, I guess.

Is there something wrong?

[They seem surprised he doesn't find this impressive.]

Naw, nothing's wrong.

Just - that kinda thing don't happen, most places.

[They laugh.]

That's true! From what we see of other countries, they don't seem to be as advanced as ours. I think all of us are curious what other countries might be like, but stopping to visit is an impossibility...

So you never leave?

Huh? No, why would I?

This country can support all of us in every way we need, plus we get to see all kinds of amazing sights as we all travel together across the world!

Sure, but you never get to like... go nowhere else. Aside from just passing through.

What are you talking about? We're always going places!

We've seen beautiful mountains and oceans and plains... all sorts of places most people would never get to see in their whole lives!

Sure, but like... do you ever get to get out and enjoy them?

Well, no, but... Wouldn't that be impossible for most people anyway?

How come?

The roads are much too dangerous! And you can easily run out of food or water, not to mention how lonely it could be.

Why do that when you can travel with the rest of your country?

Cause ain't the point of going someplace trying something new when you're there?

Is it? I'm comfortable with life in this country, though.

Ah... well. I guess as long as you like it.

I love it! Our country really is wonderful.

Were there other things you wondered about?

Sure.

What's it like, down on the other levels? Like... not the park.

Well, it's dark, since it's on the below floors. But we all have screens that show us what the scenery is outside, and of course we can come to visit the park at any time to enjoy some sunlight, too.

How dark's dark?

[They laugh a little.]

It's not pitch black or anything. We don't have night vision! But the electric lights can only do so much.
