SpookVooper Wiki

## Overview

The term **Vooperia** is generally used to refer to the overarching government systems which now represent all of humanity.

The **United Federations of Vooperia** ( also known as the United Federations) are a unified set of federations within the Vooperian Empire. The main federation, The Imperial Federation of Vooperia, is a Federated Constitutional Monarchy.

The United Federations include colonies throughout the Milky Way, while the major two federations are Earth (birthplace of humanity) and SpookVooper (first human colony, and current capital). A notable mention is Valaria, the largest moon of SpookVooper.

## Structure - Vooperia

The executive branch consists of the Emperor, Albright I, as monarch and head of state, and Prime Minister (To be decided in upcoming 2021 Prime Minister election) as the head of government. Ministries managed by the Prime Minister are also considered to be a part of the executive branch, with the execption of the Imperial Reserve, whom the Emperor directly manages, which manages both fiscal and monetary policy.

The Senate of the Federation, the legislative body, consists of fifteen senators on SpookVooper and fifteen on Earth (although the Earth Senate is not currently reflected in roleplay). Senators each represent a district and its inhabitants, are capable of drafting and voting on legislation, and take part in other political processes.

The court systems of Vooperia interpret law in the nation. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, although cases can be appealed directly to the Emperor (although this is rare). While the Supreme court handles matters of constitutionality or major cases, the Imperial Courts handle criminal and civil cases. District courts handle matters which are not necessary to examine under an Imperial scale.

## History (Contains Vooper Spoilers)

### The Beginnings (The Great Leak)

In 2025, a group of hackers located in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology manage to amass government secrets via illegal means. The group, using codenames and coordinating over secret channels, decides to use these secrets to attempt an unprecedented feat: uniting all of humanity against the oppression of the ruling class.

Under the Great Leak, the information regarding all world governments and their secrets is leaked at once in a coordinated and widespread effort. In response, the keyholders of the internet backbone attempt to shut down the internet as a whole, leading to major blackouts and technological mayhem. The damage control is too late, and is reverted before society implodes. However, the state secrets are immense in scope and disgust citizens of countries worldwide.

A leader is chosen for the group responsible for the Great Leak, codenamed Spike. This leader uses the Great Leak to recruit individuals, specifically those in powerful positions globally and looking for change, and begins planning largescale protests against government tyranny. Several secrets were kept out of the Great Leak due to them having use for the now-revolutionaries - including that of a mysterious material discovered from a landed asteroid, named Crystallite.

### The United Front

In September of 2026, during a period of civil unrest which continues to worsen, the United Front (the name now given to the revolutionary group) leads a mission to secure the Crystallite samples mentioned in the secret documents. Led by codename Surge (now known as the Director), the mission is a success, but leads to several casualties (including Jack Wise).

The material is studied and is found to have the abilities mentioned in the scientific studies: namely the ability to manipulate mass by exposing it to specific frequency photons. Controlling the gravitational field is a mathematical challenge, and codename Jacob, one of the most talented computer scientists in the United Front, manages to train an experimental neural network using lab-grown human neurons to control the field. This marks the beginning of Neural Platter technology.

The United Front, after suffering several leaks and losing several locations due to US government raids, flees to the United Kingdom, where codename Coca has organized a major protest in London. In April 2027, Jacob manages to use the Crystallite and Neural Platter technology to create a shielding device, capable of stopping bullets before impact with the bearer. Major demonstrations break out as planned in May, along with the creation of the Unity Flag by codename Bomber.

### Revolution

During a major street protest in London in June, an attempted assassination is made by MI6 on Spike, who survives due to the Crystallite shielding. The attempted killing ignites a violent response in the protest, who begin civil unrest. In August, a general strike is declared, grinding the country to a halt. The United Front begins to organize and draft the constitution for a replacement government - designed not only to replace the United Kingdom, but to unify the entire world.

The general strike spreads globally as world governments undergo similar protests due to collapsing public trust due to the Great Leaks and ensuing government tyranny in response. In September 2027, the United Kingdom is shocked to witness the takeover of the Parliament building, to massive crows waving the Unity flag. In response, guards open fire and over four hundred protestors are killed. This is later referred to as the Parliament Massacre.

Revolution begins, with citizens refusing to pay taxes and the general strike becoming organized to specifically target industries aligning themselves with the government. While protests being heating in the United States, in September a large portion of the United Kingdom military formally resigns and allows protestors to occupy bases. Meanwhile, the European Union collapses due to uncovered plots between the member nations exposed by the Great Leak.

In October, the country of Romania is the first to agree to the terms of the United Front. Facing the collapse of the European Union, the growing movement is a political risk that may pay off. This makes Romania the first official Federation, and gives it a strong hand in helping to design the later world government.

Later in the month, a final major protest is held in London, where Spike famously uses new Crystallite technology to ascend to the flag above Parliament, replacing it with the Unity Flag. Due to massive turnout and the collapsed military, the embittered United Kingdom government cedes control of the nation.

### The United Federations

The shattered European Union looks to the new United Federations, where a new currency has been declared (the Vooperian Credit) and the United Front quickly works to implement a transparent and effective government. Wealth redistribution and the organization of key industry is made tantamount to the success of the nation, led by Jacob, who leans heavily on artificial intelligence to determine the most effective monetary policy.

As the new nation begins to take shape, by December 2027 all former EU states are coerced into joining the United Federations, who promise a new path for humanity: Unity above all else. At this time, State Security (now known as Vooperian State Security, or the VSS) is formed to field a military. With a focus on North America, in 2028, a United States wary from riots and unrest for several years reluctantly agrees to join the federations, followed quickly by Canada and Mexico. The United Federations make use of embargos - refusing to trade with any non-member states, and effectively forcing neighboring countries to join the fold or suffer material shortages.

After several years of organization and expansion, by 2030 the strength of the Credit (the digital-based currency of the United Federations) and social reform policies designed to entice poorer nations through promises of growth and prosperity lead to Earth being united. Between trade, economics, and military strength, the final independent nations give in to achieve the impossible: humanity under a single banner.

In 2032, under new coordinated research and development with a focus on expanding human civilization, the first warp drive is developed using Crystallite technology. Another technology researched from the great leaks, nicknamed Life Serum for its ability to reverse aging, is perfected during this time.

### Mission to SpookVooper

In 2035, the Emperor (previously known as Spike) declares a mission to SV-3, a planet with unique properties that seemingly imply the planet contains a unusual amount of Crystallite. Due to the extreme rarity of the material, this makes SV-3 a prime target - and the fact that the world seems to have liquid water on the surface, and be a reasonable temperature for life. Colonists are promised eternal life via life serum in return for embarking on the dangerous journey, marking the beginning of human immortality.

In 2042, colonists arrive of SV-3, which is named SpookVooper by the crew. The star of the system is named Vooper based off of the planet's name. The planet has the expected properties, and even harbors single-celled life on the surface. Speedy development and new extraction of Crystallite leads to the opening of a Warp Gate between Earth and SpookVooper, using breaking edge technology developed by Vooperian Technologies, a company founded on the surface of SpookVooper by Jacob.

In 2046, aided by easy travel between the planets, SpookVooper reaches one million population. A far larger surface area than earth and extreme terraforming activity leads to massive land grants and ample job opportunities for colonists. Due to the harsh atmosphere, oxygen tanks are required on the surface, which is a limiting factor for many.

In 2048, the population of SpookVooper reaches ten million. At the end of 2049, fifteen districts are carved out of the planet's map, and the Vooperian Senate is established - one Senator for each district, and a democratic system for those on SpookVooper.

In 2051, the district of Lanatia secedes from Vooperia (the name chosen for the young country of districts) due to disagreements on borders and law. Lanatian colonists move to an isolated continent in the north, abandoning imperial support and many advanced technologies.

### End of the Tanker Age

In 2054, SpookVooper's population reaches twenty five million, with heavy growth encouraged by an improving climate and a promise of breathable air in the future. In 2060, Lanatia rejoins the empire after negotiations drag on. The district has developed a unique culture based on tradition, kingdoms, and honor, and rejects many of the cultural advancements made by the rest of the empire.

In 2072, it is declared that it is safe to go without an oxygen tank indefinitely. However, efforts to increase oxygen content in the atmosphere are not halted - allowing SpookVooper's oxygen content to become far higher than Earth's, increasing human cognitive and physical abilities, and making high altitude areas safe to inhabit.

In 2076, the population reaches one hundred million as the age of "tankers" (a term now used to refer to those alive during the days of oxygen tanks) comes to a close. In 2078, an agreement is reached that non-founders can use life serum to double their expected lifespan, although opportunities remain for immortality by founding bases on new planets.

### The New Industrial Revolution

In 2086, Vooperian Technologies (now commonly referred to as VTech) presents the Nerual Matter Platter Consumer Computer, or NMPCC, which allows the average person to take advantage of biologically-based supercomputers.

In 2091, the population reaches 500 million, and in 2093, brain chip technology (which at this point was restricted to high ranking government officials) is made mainstream, replacing many devices used by humanity at the time.

In 2095, "tube tech" is invented - a method for full replacement of given genes in the body, leading to a revolution of genetic modification and development. In 2096, all genetic disease is declared eradicated. In 2095, the first consciousness transfer experiment is carried out by Vooperian State Security in an attempt to make an even more effective means of immortality.

In 2100, the population of SpookVooper reaches one billion. A major celebration is held. In 23 years, the population increases to three billion as immigration from Earth skyrockets and economic growth blooms.

### The Zar War

In 2131, an unexpected object is detected in Vooperian airspace. Immediately following, millions of mechanical starfish-shaped creatures capable of flight using Crystalite technology attack all fifteen districts, cutting communications and slaughtering citizens. State Security responds quickly, but the Zar war devolves into chaos.

In 2132, several districts collapse as the onslaught of mechanoid creatures decimates SpookVooper. The technological attackers appear fixated on mining the Crystallite on SpookVooper, and on eliminating all humans on the planet. The attackers refuse any attempt at communication.

In 2133, to the shock and horror of Vooperians, the Warp Gate in orbit of Earth is closed, preventing supply and reinforcements. The stated reason is to defend Earth by preventing the Zar from using the gate to attack humanity's birthplace. Vooperians are livid.

By late 2134, the population of SpookVooper has dropped from three billion to almost down to one billion. The government barely functions as humans are forced underground, using Crystallite mines and shileding to attempt to survive under constant threat of the Zar.

In 2137, after an immense battle in the District of Icelesia, Solar Beam Technology is deployed in an attempt to gain an edge against the Zar. The technology successfully uses Crystallite to focus enough starlight to cut through Zar transport ships, turning the tides of the war.

### Humanity's Victory

After another year of fighting, humanity narrowly ends the invasion as the Zar fall back to wherever they came from. The Zar war ends, and humans return to the surface. Earth continues to leave the Warp Gate closed, avoiding an influx of refugees from the war.

Following the war, Vooperians celebrate and rebuild as quickly as possible. 2139 marks the beginning of a major birth wave, and by 2141 the collapsed districts have been re-established. Cleanup efforts are carried out globally. In 2142, the Vooperian government begins a program of free land and subsidies to parents to encourage population growth and recovery, fearing a return of the Zar with more advanced weaponry.

By 2144, the population recovers to two billion.

By 2148, that number balloons to three.

By 2154, the number climbs to four.

by 2158, the population breaches five.

And by 2164, it reaches six.

The culture during this period of rebuilding is similar to the roaring twenties, with distinct art and music leading the way for massive entertainment industries to grow. The economy explodes as Vooperians regain their footing, and Zar technology recovered from the war brings Vooperian technology ahead of Earth's.

In 2170, birth subsidies end as Earth requests to re-open the Warp Gates. Vooperia declines, due to massive distrust and anger due to being left to die in the Zar War. Vooperians see the gesture as an attempt for Earth to feed off of their recent growth.

In 2189, the population reaches ten billion.

### Project Lavender

In 2214, State Security manages to transfer Jack Wise's consciousness from another universe in an earlier time into a body prepared in Vooperia, marking the first successful time travel experiment.
