- That you follow all the trails up properly. For example when deciding on a form of government, you will need to work out how it is organised, its impact on high and low society alike so on. You would also need to work out how effective the government is and whether there's any opposition.
- That you know how the focus of your story fits in to the fictional world as a whole. For example, my Eileen is not just a senior fairy godmother, she is also a royal one. That affects how she is treated and seen by others.
- That you know how the practical needs of life are met. Everyone has to eat and drink after all so does agriculture exist on your fictional world or is everything imported in? If the latter, where from? How did the trade agreements come about?
- Spirituality. How does your fictional world handle this? Does it have its own religion? Is there religious freedom?
- The Arts. Where do these come into your fictional world? Can anyone join in with the arts or do only the privileged few indulge in the arts? What kind of arts are celebrated on your fictional worlds? Do they have their unique arts and, if so, how did these come into being? Is inspiration taken from other worlds and their cultures?
