When the final stroke of the sword closed on the life of King Rowlia, the bell signaling a new era also rang out. Under the covert guidance and support of Russia, the long-suppressed waves of discontent in the countries invaded by Rowlia erupted into powerful uprisings. The long-occupied lands were reclaimed, sovereignty restored, bringing with them the hope of a future of freedom and independence.

Meanwhile, right in the heart of Rowlia, the resentment and suffering of the people from the prolonged war had turned into an unquenchable flame of resistance. The uprising spread, and as the blood of the king mingled with the motherland, an old chapter came to an end. Under the supervision of Russia, a democratic government was established on the ruins of the old regime. The Republic of Rowlia was born amidst the cheers of the people hoping for justice and peace.

Russia wasted no time. The first diplomatic missions were sent to the Republic of Rowlia to establish relations and ensure influence. Two smaller nations, newly separated from the collapse of the Kingdom of Rowlia, were also in focus, but their unstable political situation delayed the establishment of official diplomatic relations.

In just over the first two months, Russia asserted its position as a shaping force in the region. Through clever control, Russia imposed price ceilings on export goods, keeping prices much lower than those of other civilized nations. However, not only were Russian goods cheap, but they also stood out for their superior quality and high stability, quickly becoming the top choice for the newly rebuilding nations. Solid steel shipments, advanced machinery, and abundant food supplies from Russia helped these nations recover and develop, further solidifying Russia's position as a reliable "patron."

The Republic of Rowlia, once a proud kingdom, had now become a testament to the shift of power in the region. The survivors of the war were now rebuilding their country with the support of Russia, creating a young but promising democratic foundation. History was being rewritten, with Russia holding the pen, shaping a new world with every word.

Russia - Moscow.

After killing the king of Rowlia, under Russia's manipulation, the former nations immediately rose up to reclaim their lands. Meanwhile, with information made public, a rebellion fueled by the people's dissatisfaction with the prolonged war led to the king's death. A democratic government was formed shortly thereafter with Russia's support.

Diplomatic staff were quickly dispatched to Rowlia, now the Republic of Rowlia. There were also two other nations newly formed from the collapse of the Kingdom of Rowlia that were of interest, but official diplomatic relations could not yet be established due to political instability.

In just over the first two months, Russia had carved out a significant position to influence the nations and impose some price ceilings on export goods. However, in terms of overall pricing, it was still considered cheap compared to civilized nations exporting similar goods. Conversely, Russia offered very good quality and stable prices, making all Russian products a priority for nations in need of resources for development.

Inside the conference room, this was a meeting concerning export issues. The main topic was: Should they export their machinery?

The issue lay in the vague descriptions of Mu, making it difficult for analysts to assess the technological level of Mu, but for the time being, it was assumed that Mu's level fell somewhere in the years following the 2010s. That was still quite hard to say.

The financial situation of the nation was dire. Although inflation had been controlled by selling agricultural products at higher prices on Earth, unemployment was gradually worsening as job creation could not keep up, and wages were facing some issues.

One person spoke up: "If Mu indeed has the technological level as such, exporting our civilian machinery would not be difficult; it's just that the infrastructure of these nations cannot meet the costs of exporting machinery."

"We can invest in them to make that happen. Prioritize developing the power grid first, as we can export oil heaters to save our oil industry before it's too late." Another person voiced, showing concern on their face.

"That will be considered. But still, we will prioritize Mu more. Let's send our staff there, along with a representative; send anyone who is free." President Putin spoke with a serious expression, concluding the meeting's opinions. Russia would seek potential markets to save its economy. As he was about to speak again to end the meeting, someone rushed in with a tablet in hand, looking panicked.

"Mr. President! We have a special case. It's like we are surrounded!" His worried face caught the ministers' attention. He approached the screen, connected, and uploaded an image.

"That is..."

The image showed another continent in the southeast of the country. It... had never been there before; what did this mean? The other person began to speak: "At 2:00 PM, the Aerospace Agency recorded an immediate change in satellite imagery. A continent has just appeared at this location. They believe this land is similar to ours, having also suddenly shifted here."

"Mr. President?" One person spoke up, wanting to see how the head of state would decide.

"You know how diplomacy works in this world, right?" The sudden question created a somewhat awkward atmosphere, combined with his cold expression making the surroundings feel icy, but someone still answered.

"Yes, according to Mamluk, the diplomatic method of the powers here is to use military force to establish or rather coerce... So, do you want us to do that?" One person asked nervously.

"No, I just want to say that each world has its own way of operating; even this new land may have its own way of functioning. We will not use naivety to establish diplomacy with a nation in another world as if the United Nations exists. What I mean is, we prioritize friendliness but also prioritize the safety of our people. Let's send a surface ship and a nuclear submarine along to prepare for any worst-case scenarios." Putin's face had taken on a more serious tone, but he still maintained the dignity of a leader. This was how Putin eliminated oligarchs with his cold and serious demeanor.

"But wouldn't that lead to conflict?" One person spoke up, expressing their concern.

"From the beginning, we could not choose the right diplomatic approach anymore. We should just play by the rules here. So, be ready for everything." Putin said. The image had given him quite a headache; the economic issues were still unresolved, and he had been exhausted by reports of financial losses for many days. Although direct support had been provided to keep businesses stable, it was unclear how long that would last.

"But right now, we are quite busy. There are no staff available to send to this land." Someone from afar spoke up, indicating that due to the urgency of the situation, all staff had been mobilized to establish diplomacy with other nations.

Thus, at this moment, a decision needed to be made on whether to send diplomats to Mu or the new land first. This had to be carefully evaluated to address the difficult financial situation. The lifeblood of the economy was stagnating, and if a solution could not be found, the nation would return to a dark period.

"I advise that we temporarily overlook that land. We do not have time to study it and then send a diplomat there. Let's proceed with the original plan."

"Indeed, I think we should not take risks to avoid unforeseen circumstances. The Aerospace Agency will soon provide us with the best results."

President Putin gently stroked his chin and spoke: "Alright, whatever brings us an advantage, let's do it, and remember Mamluk's advice."

After that, Russia established a delegation to Mu immediately, with the purpose being clear: to assess the technological level and establish diplomatic relations while potentially offering their products...

November 2, 2020/4017 Fourth Era

Academy of Sciences.

Researchers from various fields had been brought to this world. They had spent a lot of time studying this world. Thanks to data sent from the battlefield combined with careful observation, they produced very interesting information, or one could say, information that was hard to exist in reality. Or perhaps it was due to limited knowledge that they could only make predictions.

First, regarding the size of this planet. It is indeed very large, with a diameter of 42,900 km (about 3.37 times larger than Earth), and a circumference of 134,618 km (about 3 times larger than Earth), with an estimated surface area of around 5,786,122,312 km² (about 11.3 times larger than Earth). As for the land area, this is quite difficult to say, as the percentage of land area is relatively small, but in terms of area, it is not. With over 826,571,429 km², accounting for about 14.34% of the total surface area of the planet, it is larger than Earth's surface area, creating an incredibly diverse ecosystem.

But what is noteworthy is the gravity, which is at 9.8 m/s² (equal to Earth's), very similar to Earth. From here, that was already quite unreasonable. A planet over 11.3 times larger yet only has such low gravity. This created conditions for deeper research, and they discovered interesting things and hypotheses about the world.

Firstly, if this planet is large but has low gravity, geologists have speculated that the core of this planet is smaller and less dense, which makes it difficult for heavy metals to form in the core or even on the surface. It may not have primarily light metals, but this would contradict the fact that even the Kingdom of Mamluk could self-extract iron and heavier metals, which has puzzled many researchers.

However, when combined with data from the military conducting fieldwork in Mamluk and recording something they would not believe was real if not for the recorded footage. That is magic, something only found in fantasy works like Harry Potter or Japanese works. But if the mixed core theory is applied, it could explain why the core of the planet has that capability. Perhaps it has not reached two layers or more with the central core, regardless of what it contains to keep the core density low, resulting in lower gravity than reality, and the super-dense core layers are either large or still as before, with unclear composition.

But it can be said that if magic exists, originating from the core as a type of magnetic field, it has seeped deep into the organisms here. As for the crust, it is likely thicker and contains more light metals, still having heavy metals but not in large quantities when considering density. However, with a land area of 826 million km² and a total area of 5,786 million km², it will still be richer than Earth.

In terms of atmosphere, it is quite dense with many gases like CO₂, N₂O, and may also be related to that magic to increase atmospheric density. The atmospheric pressure is slightly higher than Earth's, helping stabilize the climate and maintain gravity as mentioned above. Regarding temperature, considering Russia's position near the equator, it has a lower temperature when measured. This has been relatively easy to explain. The position of this planet, although in a habitable zone, is closer to the colder edge, causing temperatures to drop significantly. But with the core still unanalysed, it plays a major role in warming the planet.

That is, the core of the planet has helped prevent the world from entering an ice age. This results in the average temperature of the planet being quite low compared to Earth, but the temperate zones are much wider. This also leads to the speculation that the core is warming this planet in a rather asynchronous manner, where the equator is the only place that will not have snow in winter, and perhaps part of northern Russia will no longer have cold characteristics, and the entire nation will no longer experience horrific cold. And as for the two poles of the planet, ice will still form with significant thickness but will not be wider when considering the ratio.

As for the surface topography? That is still under consideration, but if taking both Mamluk and Rowlia as examples, this entire planet has more mountain ranges, plateaus, and valleys, and at the same time, it will make the ocean floor much deeper than sea level. This will mean that anything that can exist down there will either be horrifying or resemble a giant, scaly sea monster. As for mineral diversity? It does not differ much but has fictional metals like Mythril or Orichalcum as they call it, and there is a type of crystal containing what is called magic, which is likely the substance found in the core. This is what wizards use to perform their magic when their magic runs low. This energy still needs further research for clarification.

Next is the rotation speed. It is quite amusing in that it is no different from Earth despite its size. The rotation speed of the planet has been calculated thanks to synchronization with clock devices. Thus, the speed is around 5,609 km/h, faster than Earth's 4,583 km/h. This means that time zones can still be used as normal, only the hours are fewer because the distance between time zones is very large, so there has been a slight adjustment.

Regarding organisms, the good adaptation to the high atmospheric pressure has helped the residents here achieve quite impressive heights, averaging 1.7 meters. As for the residents of Russia and Central Asia? They will have to adapt to a slightly heavier body. It does not affect anything and they can still function normally, but with slightly reduced physical strength.

As for the ecosystem, it is still under research. But with the diverse residents, it resembles more of an evolutionary theory. With humans being the most primitive, followed by demi-humans and beastmen, with characteristics of both humans and animals. But they assert that all three are almost unrelated, even though their genomes match up to 95%, saying they are unrelated is an exaggeration; it is highly likely that evolutionary theory will have the opportunity to supplement more information.

At the end here, it is still necessary to clarify more about magic, a type of energy that is common and dense enough that every organism here possesses it. The reason for asserting this is due to applying the law of conservation, combined with observing wizards casting their magic, there is a strong molecular change in the air, which immediately transforms into other forms. This means that the glowing magic circle with many colors is a type of intermediary tool to transform magic with another part of the air or any form of matter into magic with the things it emits, and after those spells hit their targets or are used up, they will return to their original state.

Thus, everything on this planet is closely interconnected. This will disrupt all understanding, but it is also an opportunity to research deeper into what is called magic. The elements, and that light energy they call photomancy do not violate much except for photomancy when it can materialize. And photomancy tends to control and... purify? In short, magic is something that can be explained by existing theorems, but it still needs to be clarified more as this is a form of energy with great potential for application in various fields.

A researcher with a disheveled appearance, messy hair, and dark circles under her eyes is evidence of someone who has had a tough time with work. But not for her. She has just completed a summary report on the research, and as the head of the department, it will elevate her career to new heights. She joyfully exclaimed: "This world is a paradise for my career!"
