Yes, both me and Pooka came from a world called Earth. Earth has plenty of countries ruled by different people, governments, and cultures that are as vast as the environments in there, although I haven’t visited many of them. I was originally from a country called Russia, although most people in there have been calling it by a different name recently.

(She still hasn’t gotten over calling Russia the Soviet Union even after living 10 years under the Soviet rule. But living in cold weather conditions is no stranger to her as she is also dealing with the gentle mountains winds.)

It is on the northern part of Earth and most of it is covered in snow, especially in Siberia. Other countries in my world are also either covered in snow or see snow in the winter often like Grandmama’s native Denmark, while others don’t see snow at all.
