Hi, welcome to the wiki!

As was said, don't be afraid of adding "fluff". Its what makes a fiction unique! As for a fairly good example of formatting, I'd put forward my own fiction's page for that (however keep in mind that I've been working on this for years; Nobody expects yours to be this complete right off the getgo!).

As previously said, Cyrannus and Borealis especially are good areas for a grim and dark atmosphere. However I'd also recommend the Milky Way as a good starting area with no unified theme. Ultimately its up to you.

Humanity is a bit of a complex subject, however. Most of the Earth has already been claimed by existing nation states, so in general the creation of an Earth-native country (like France) is unfortunately out of the question. However, this doesn't preclude human fiction.

One potential option would be to talk with a user currently owning a human fiction and have your fiction break away from theirs, perhaps in a rebellion or simply a retcon.

Another is to have a fiction of transplanted humans. That is, a group of humanity that was relocated by aliens in ancient times. Like the last example, its best done with the collaboration of another user, however unlike the last example this isn't absolutely necessary.

Hope this helps!
