( is he being too focused on american terminology?? what does it matter, state or realm or region, same difference, right? peter thinks this is a misunderstanding of cultures rather than a conflict of entirely different worlds, but to be fair to him? he hasn't met anyone stranded in Santa Rosita that wasn't from Earth yet. )

It's fine. You can call it a realm. I knew what you meant. Is that what they call it where you're from? Where... are you from, anyway?
