The African colonies are interesting.  I love visiting, but my word are they not exactly what I’d call normal.  The Africans have totally different cultural ideas, and they love planets that I could barely live on.  Oh, every planet has a range of environments.  They are planets after all.  Really big balls of dirt.  But them Africans sure do like to place their cities and spaceports in the really hot parts of those planets.  I try not to stay in those places long.
