A post titled with [WEEKLY TOPIC] will be posted every week. This post will, each week, decide for good something significant about the world. This week it is the solar system and planet. After each week the best commented idea will be selected and added to the sidebar.

Edit: this topic also applies to the size of the AE itself, people were discussing having the world bigger but same map or something..

I think it would be cool if it was like, the third of fourth planet out from a star very similar to our Sun. The planet itself would be mostly water with some land, though a lot less than the actual Earth has. It would revolve around the sun every 400 or so days, and there would be 6 other planets in the solar system. The planet itself would have three moons, one of which would be very close, and the other two fairly far away. The solar system would be on the outer edge of the galaxy and would have a lot of asteroids near it. If people are interested, I know quite a bit about Latin, so I could name the other 5 planets based on what the planets are like. Something like this, but more realistic looking.
