"Ah. A desert full of people who wouldn't like you much doesn't sound like the most fun place to visit. Argonians are... the local people in the marsh?"
She'll finish up her meal before pushing her plate aside and pulling the giant book closer. "America is huge. Thousands of miles across and encompassing all kinds of places, from places so far north that it's always frozen to southern deserts, mountains and rivers and forests and plains... it's beautiful, but... I haven't actually seen most of it. So I thought we'd start with the city where I grew up, New York."
She opens the atlas to a double-page map of the States. "This is the main part of my country. There's parts further away that don't fit on this map. Kind of like... colonies, I guess? Except their full members of the government. I grew up here, by the ocean, in between two rivers on an island of granite."

The grid of streets makes navigation easy, and also estimating distances. Each block, those go east to west, is one twentieth of a mile. I grew up here, but moved here when I decided to get my own place." The Upper East Side probably looks nice, on paper, being near the giant park and all.
