Ah, no - he's from Amestris as well, but it seems that there are some differences between his world and mine. Major events seem to have happened completely differently, creating some sort of alternate timeline; apparently I exist in his world but this other version of myself behaves completely differently, and he doesn't exist in my world at all. We're both from Amestris, but we technically don't exist for one another; as such, we met here.

As for this place, we've been doing rather well at entertaining ourselves, I think; again, we don't have much choice.
