Grand Theft Sofa

Niko has found his way into the Nexus, and in his hand, he has a six-pack of Sprunk soda in his hand that he plops down on a table beside him. "Not sure what this place is, but anything has to be better than that apartment." He comments to nobody with a thick Serbian accent, and he takes a seat in a comfortable chair. After a hard day of driving, a taxi for his cousin and getting his cousin out of trouble Niko looks exhausted.

"Guess I ought to ask a question like it says on the paper. All right, I got one. Has anyone told you a something that was too good to be true? Something like they've got millions, drive fancy cars, or live in a gigantic house. And then only to see that it's a tiny apartment where the only thing that's big are the cockroaches." Niko does his best to try explaining his question for any ears that might catch wind of what he has to say from his seat on his couch.

"And for something simpler. Where's the farthest you've moved or traveled to?"

"So who represents this Federation?" Niko continues with the countless barrage of questions, and he doesn't the least bothered with it. He does hope he's not becoming much of a bother. "And does Earth even exist?"

[onemorebounty]

Represents? In what sense?

*He hasn't asked a question that bothers her yet.*

Earth exists, yes. It's been a member of the Federation for a long time; humans make up about 2% of the population, 4% if you count hybrids and derivations. That's high.

Niko purses his lips as he tries to word her question. "Back where I'm from, Earth tries to do the whole Federation of different countries." He laughs a little. "But they're not exactly good at doing it. It is more for the different governments to do business. So I can only imagine how well it runs on a much bigger scale."

Ah. It's not quite like that. To carry the analogy, if the galaxy is a world, think of the Federation as a country. People might be of different races, or from different regions, but they share a common identity in all considering themselves as people of that country. Make sense?
