There are the inner plains and the coastal plains. More people live on the coastal plains becuse it is close to the beach. It is also a lot easier to build on the plains then in the other other parts of the worlds. The plains our very fun to people who like to bike but do not liketo bike up or downhill. The plains are great places to play tag to because it is harder to trip over things.
