Whoops almost forgot about this.

SpoilerAs previously stated, outside of the cities, most of the world is rainforest like flora and fauna. The trees tower tall, usually averaging 15-20 feet, with many easily going past that size. The treetops and the rainforest floor are like two separate worlds, with the treetops being brightly lit and full of fliers and climbers of all sorts. A good portion of the fruits and vegetables consumed by the people in cities are harvested from this area. The floor is dark ninety percent of the time, shrouded by the enormous trees. Because of this, there are lots of things down there that have developed bioluminescence. It's also the breeding grounds for some particularly nasty predators that have adapted to hunt in the dark.
The oceans are mainly shallowish and warm, though there are a large amount of trenches zigzagging across the ocean floor. As most of civilization in the world is placed upon the shores, fish are the largest, if not the only, provider of protein.
Aside from the main, warm climate, the poles of the planet are still cold, though less so. They are still mainly ice, though rivers, waterfalls, and lakes and ponds are not uncommon sights in both the arctic and antarctic. Lands closer to the poles are cooler and tend to have shorter and smaller fauna, as well as longer winters and more mountains. There is only one city not placed near to the equator, and that's in a place around the same area where Greenland would be.
In addition to all of this, the ground is very mineral rich, containing vast quantities of metals like iron, copper, and nickel; there is also a mineral known as 'spaccite' that exists close to the surface. Due to research, Spaccite was discovered to have been integrated into the soil around the same time that the Spectra began appearing. Besides that, the ground is home to a strange cave system, expanded upon and explored by humans.
