Don't even start with me on the Zoners. They're supposed to be like the Swiss. Neutral in all wars, no military action. But for some reason they have battleships and/or carriers.
Thank you.

Their are 7 planets/moons in Languedoc, 7 in Dauphine, 10 in Burgundy, 8 in Lorraine, 15 (I may have missed some) in Ile de France! 15 celestial bodies?! Does that make sense?
How many do we have in our solar system? What's the exact count of planets, dwarf planets and moons? 1 star, 8 planets, dwarf planets, like Pluto and Ceres, our moon, Phobos, Deimos, the four major moons of Jupiter, Pluto's moon... It's not really unrealistic. Your next point is valid however.

It scientifically doesn't make sense because the gravity would combine all eight planets together unless each one is VERY small, and very far apart. And, if they all have the same orbit, they'd crash into each other.
Engine limitations allow us to represent solar bodies to this extent only. Sizes and distances will never be realistic. At this point it all boils down to your imagination.
