-One of the most common confusions about Second Life I ([[Torley]]) come across is '''distinguishing between land hierarchy terms'''. As in:
-* "What's the difference between a region and an estate?"
-* "Are a region and a sim the same thing?" (No, not quite; "sim" gets misused often. [[Sim|Learn the difference]].)
-Totally understandable.
-Ever seen the brilliant short, ''Powers of Ten''? I highly recommend watching it, if only to get an awe-inspiring idea of our real world fits together, and how bigger groups contain smaller units.

-In a similar way, since Second Life is 3D and graphical, I thought I'd show you an '''elegant, visual "cheat sheet" of our land hierarchy'''. Click to enlarge (or right-click and download), and share it with your friends!

-Obviously, this is a simplified view; Teen Second Life isn't represented, nor are details of various continents and cultural features. If you're interested in more of that, [[Category:Culture|see the Culture Category]], and we have '''[[Land|more information about the above terms]'''.
