The Petticoatian Hemisphere.
The Josephs Petticoat are the only character we've met so far from this part of the world. The Pettiocats are descended from Ancient Peacock Gods. The Petticoats are very laid back and easily self-governed so they feel fine and independent even though King Poncho is the overlord of the planet. The petticoats have the richness of life and art. A common saying amongst the Petticoats, "Pterodactyl is with you." An important god, Pterodactyl, created their planet. Pterodactyl created the peacocks and gave them consciousness. He named the planet "Peacock" after his most favorite creation. He then proclaimed he loved them all and he will always be with them in their hearts, but he will never intervene or return to Peacock City Planet because he has many more worlds to create.
The Ponchovian Hemisphere.
Of the characters we've met so far, the Tylers Poncho, Gruffy McBearguin, Chilly Lomedomes, and Telescoping Tigers reside on the Ponchovian Hemisphere. The Tigers are a proud and frightening species which King Poncho can barely control. King Poncho will call upon them in times of strife to take care of extreme disobedience and in exchange, he looks away when they don't follow Peacock City's fair laws. King Poncho is a sympathetic but incompetent ruler who tries to fix their global problems with his wrench-tongues.
A theory of the origin of the Ponchos is they came into being from Lava Beetles, who rolled cooling lava into glowing Stones that are still used as currency in the modern day. This is why the Ponchos are the reigning species. A common greeting amongst ponchos, "You're a good beetle." The beetle was self made, with ambition and motivation, he came into being from the firey lava and began work, rolling the gems and creating economy. The Ponchos are self reliant and don't recognized the Petticoat's gods.
When the Ponchos gained consciousness and became the dominating species they added the name "City" to the name of their planet after their beatiful, creative city. Eventually the Ponchos and Petticoats came to a relative truce and added "Planet" to express the unity of the two sides of the world, thus creating Peacock City Planet.
The Violet Land
A strange violet world lurks in between the two halves. Bizarro version of the normally lit animals live here, and Ponchos must cross this treacherous land to visit the Petticoatian Desert. Tyler merely saw a glimpse of this cruel world in Volume One. To prevent citizens from entering the Violet Land, the People of Purple have constructed massive mountains made of leaves that must be crossed. The See-Otters,living in both hemispheres, guard the entrance to the leafy mountains.
