The floating colonies of Mizar; wafting on the gentle trade winds above a virgin landscape that has gone untrodden by Mizaran feet for over a hundred generations.  The Mizarans live far above their world; never going to earth and always able to enjoy the spectacular views of their world and the great fleets of airships that are their sole means of transportation. 

This idyllic form of habitation is so original, so picturesque that it is universally regarded as the stupidest idea ever hit upon.  Yes, the view is very pretty, but the price is a major pain in the arse, as popping next door means a three-hour wait at airport security both ways.  The average Mizaran has had his person searched so many times that they now travel stark naked and without baggage to save time and aggravation.
