EstawLand means a city without negatives.The name "EstawLand" came about when I was racking my brain for antonyms for wasteland and realized, why not just reverse the word "WASTE"? That would be fun.EstawLand is a city built on the planet "Q-206" (Q is my initials, 206 is my birthday), a planet on the other side of the universe that bears a 97% resemblance to Earth.EstawLand has technology that is way ahead of Earth. They have levitating cars transparent bridges, and strange buildings everywhere! They also have shopping malls, office buildings, condos, and TV towers, but they all look strange! The pedestrians on the road don't look any different from us, but they wear white eye patches, which are instead of mobile phones!I can feel that there must be a city like EstawLand in the universe, so why not?
