Back-ground Info

The decline of Western Civilisation

lthough techonology and world culture progressed rapidly throughout the twentieth century, their advancements paled in comparison to their seemingly reckless leaps that would follow. By the end of the twenty-first century, mankind has seen bold and unprecedented changes within the world. Radical new technologies were surfacing at incredible rates, offering increased access to advanced computers and informationnal databases to even the most destitue nations of Earth. In the wake of the eradication of Communism from the Eastern Nations, nuclear weapons quickly became available in abundance. The internationnal acquisition of capital and military superiority, was blasted apart as third-world nations rose to challenge the economic and military might of the world's super-powers.

As the manipulative science of cybernetics, cloning and gene-splicing rose steadily into the public forum, militant humanist and hardline religious groups challenged the rights of private interest corporations who profited from genetic experimentation. Multitudes of people were being augmented with cybernetic implants while others began to manifest slight mutations ranging from hightened senses to advanced telepathy. These dramatic changes within the human gene pool caused widespread panic amongst many of the fundamental humanist factions.

Technology continued to evolve and spread, and population rates soared. Near the end of the twentieth century, there were six billion people upon the earth. Within three hundred years, the population has grown to an estimated twenty three billion. Pollution and lack of natural ressources and affordable fuels added to the fire as world leaders sought ways to steam the growth of their nation's inhabitants. Popular sentiments hailed that the world was plummeting towards an inevitable catastrophe as overpopulation and genetic alteration swept across the globe.

Meanwhile, as tensions rose around the world, regarding the use and capitalisation of cybernetics and genetic manipulation, many core internationnal economic systems folded in upon themselves and shut-down. Orific acts of terrorism and violence errupt between the corporates sector and the humains faction, resullting in forced police action across the globe. Irresponsible media coverage of these attrocious police actions spurred the allready rampant civil chaos in many of the larger countries. Ultimately, the precarious balance of world power explode into internationnal pandemonium.

The new Order

On november 22, 2229, the united powers league was founded. The UPL was to become the ultimate incarnation of the vision of a unified humanity held by the now defunct united nations. This new order encompassed and controlled close to 93 % of the earth's population, failing only to bring order to a few volatile south american states. The UPL was founded upon the basis of ´enlighted socialism´ , but often resorted to harsh, fascist police action to maintain the public order. With it's control lasting for nearly 80 years, the UPL began to devise a rigid agenda that would unify the various cultures of humanity for all times. Great lenght were taken to irradicate the last vestiges of racial separatism, and the unitariate commissions banned many of the world's oldest religions. English was designated as the common tongue of the planet, replacing many anciend languages that were subsequently banned in their native countries.
