Introduction to CFBU

# Welcome to CFBU！

This article will guide you through various aspects of CFBU.

## POPULATION

CFBU has a population of 2.5 million. 1.2 million Bitians live in the capital Bitcity. This is mostly a result of CFBU’s elitism basis.

## ECONOMY

CFBU is an advanced country that employs national capitalism, which means that the CFBU central government takes hold of all the means of production. All companies are state-owned, but the competition between different companies force companies to strive to cater to the customers’ need.

CFBU uses Unionbits, or Umbits [Yoom-bits], as its currency. 1 UNB is roughly equal to 2/3 USD. The minimum salary is 12,500 UNB/month while the median salary is 22,500 UNB/month. (The Bitians are really really rich... )

## SOCIAL CLASSES AND JOBS

Although everyone is equal, the Bitians are divided into several classes according to their will to contribute to the country. Those in higher classes do more advanced and challenging work, thus getting more monetary and spirital rewards while those in lower classes do simpler work and have more time and energy to enjoy their life.

Most Bitians work 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and work 5 hours a day (8:45-11:15,13:45-16:15).

Bitians are divided into different classes mainly according to the level of academic skill his or her job requires. Listed below are typical jobs in different classes:

### Elites

Quantum Physics, Bionic Mechanics, Bionic Intelligence, Advanced Biotechnology, Modern Magic, National Defence

### Pioneers

Nanotechnology, Ordinary Intelligence, Engineering Technology, Communication, Art, Literature, Philosophy, Sports

### Commoners

AI Monitoring, Manual Enginnering, Pop culture, Service, Handcrafting, Basic Repairing

All three classes think that it‘s their class that best strikes the balance between work and life. There is little conflict among them.

## EDUCATION

Bitians are really highly educated! CFBU has a 19-year compulsory education and an additional 4 years of free further education. The overall academic performance of Bitian students determines their class. Top 5% are Elites, 5%-35% are Pioneers and the other 65% are commoners. From Grade 13 afterwards, students in different classes will learn in different schools. There is also a mysterious Ultra-Elite education system for the most distinguished students in CFBU. They start learning in CFBA (Central Federal Bitian Academy) and are guaranteed promotion to CFBU (Central Federal Bitian University), the most fascinating place of tertiary education ever to exist. Unlike most universities, CFBU is located deep in the downtown area of Bitcity, highlighting CFBU’s great emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge. CFBU also acts as the National Academy of Science, appealing cutting-edge laureates. School life in CFBU (university) is beyond anyone’s imagination. For example, every student lives in his or her own two-storey suite and has free access to everything in the school. (They are even given free new UNIMADE electronic products!) It is said that CFBU invests 5,000 UNB in every student every day just to cover their daily life expenses!

Another amazing school in CFBU is the Bitcity University, which is open to all students. It has nearly the same available courses as Central Federal Bitian University (The only difference is not having any magic courses). Schools in Bitcity (except CFBA and CFBU) teach science and technology while schools in other states teach magic (Charm magic in Shinora, Nature magic in Yolihah and Fire magic in Reteree).

## RECREATION

Well...Different people in CFBU take delight in different activities. However, there are things that Bitians commonly love to do.

With advanced technology in electronic manufacturing and artificial intelligence present, electronic games remain very popular. Moblie games are most popular due to the great portability and the amazing performance of UNIMADE products (Bitians still use smartphones as their mobile device since AR and VR mobile devices face ethical problems). At home, Game consoles are mostly replaced with VR and AR consoles which gives much more immersive gaming experience.

There are many kinds of games of CFBU, from the most simple time killers to 3A works. Bitcity Heroes and Interstellar Travel Simulator are two most popular games among Commoners. Pioneers would prefer more creative games, such as the Gene Empire (A Science fiction game in which the player plays as a virus that has consciousness). Elites do not play games available to the public, they create their own games instead!

One interesting thing to note is that NPCs in modern Bitian games have very advanced artificial intelligence and can act exactly the same as a human being. This results from the successful commercialization of Bionic Intelligence.

Not all Bitians are couch potatoes. Travelling is also very popular among Bitians. Thanks to UNIMADE’s great achievement in mobile photography, Bitians are able to take superb pictures at any moment. Listed below are some places of interest:

### The Tower of Knowledge

Located in the geometric center of the city (inside the campus of CFBU), the Tower of Knowledge symbolizes CFBU’s unceasing pursuit for the ultimate knowledge. It is also known as the highest-reaching building on the planet. On the base of the tower is written the school motto of CFBU: Seek the Light, Hold the Might. As this POI is too popular with Bitians, only Elites and above have free access to the tower; Pioneers must reserve before visiting the tower while Commoners can only visit the tower during national holidays.

### Yolihah Forest

As the most mysterious forest in CFBU, the Yolihah Forest satisfies the Bitians’ need to keep in close contact with the nature. The air there is fresh beyond description. It is said that visitors can be healed both physically and mentally by the Nature magic power in the forest. However, one part of the forest is not open to the public. The sign says: “Trial Only!”

### Reteree Desert

Another very cool place loved by Bitian youngsters. The weather is always scorching hot. Visitors can feel the unique desert culture in the Desert Party held by Reteree locals. Fire magic users will find their magic especially powerful there. The Dance of Fire is a must-to-watch performance in the Reteree Desert.

### Shinora Wonderland

Require a temporary escape from the reality? Shinora Wonderland is exactly like the place described in the fairy tales. Seeing the red heart-shaped trees, the pink fine sky and the lovely little houses, you will be relieved from all the pain accumulated in the not-so-wonderful days. Plus, Shinora has the biggest themed park in CFBU! Do you dare to ride on the roller coaster that travels on a heart-shaped track?

## OTHERS

Due to heavy genetic modifications, Bitians are now biologically independent from humans. Bitcity residents naturally has blue hair, while Yolihah green, Shinora red, and Reteree orange (resulting from the magic in the environment). However, the brightness of the hair colour is determined by the genes (thus can be modified) and by the age. Generally youngsters have brighter hair and elders have darker hair.

Bitians can also change the colour of their blood as they wish. “Blue-blooded Bitians” has become a new hit term. This is widely laughed by Termish residents, whose blood remains red. (Actually, red is worshipped as the colour of blood in Termish Empire.)
