Liberacion Party (United States)

**Official color(s)** | Purpure

The **Liberacion party**, also known as the **Liberationist Party** (and colliquially known as the Liberationists), is a party that held its origins as a grand coalition of nationalist groups after the Third Mexican-American War. The party advocates for political autonomy, traditionalism, separatism, and cultural preservation.

The party ideological base was molded when many became concerned that global unification could lead to the extinction of certain cultures and ethnic groups that reside within their borders overtime. They generally argue that separate groups of people should be able to govern themselves independently or autonomously. By the rise of the Tenth party system, the Liberacion party had gradually shifted its definition into a party that advocates for multiculturalism and regionalism, fearing the decline of many cultures and languages around the world as a consequence of American expansionism. Outside of North America, many supporters of the party advocate for anti-expansionism. Their shift towards less radical policies had attracted many minor libertarian groups, particularly those who had an multiethnic background.They also oppose the establishment of Free States in planets of extraterrestrial species and preferred the alien species to be assisted to “ascend” to space at their own will rather than being absorbed through "cultural imperialism".

Unlike most parties, the Liberationist Party is more of a "big tent" party, composing itself of many factions united in a common goal. Although, the party holds more libertarian economic, social, and political values despite having groups who think otherwise.

The party has enjoyed popularity around recently annexed regions of the United States (such as Latin America) and enjoyed greater success outside the country in the associated states (such as the European Association).

## History

The Liberacion Party was formed during the 2144 Presidential Election and steadily grew into prominence by the 2146 midterm elections. It was formed as a merger of many minor parties in Latin America that had largely opposed American occupation and annexation of their countries, including the now largely unpopular Dignidad Party. It supported self-determination and preservation of foreign culture within the recently occupied and protectorate territories. It later became a symbol for those who had also opposed the rising American hegemony in countries outside of the United States during the era of the Ninth Party System.

By the Tenth party system, the party became less radicalized as the party took on a more 'American-friendly' policy to attract voters. It still opposes American hegemony advocates for political autonomy, in which separate groups of people should be able to govern themselves independently or autonomously. They now generally prefer global co-operation not in form of a single united world government but rather large groups of people having equal sovereignty and reputation to voluntarily form a world organization instead, similar to the UN.
Latvia

**Latvia** was a Baltic Sea nation independent from 1918 to 1940 and again starting in 1991.

Throughout the 20th century, Latvia was under control as a part of the Soviet Union, which consisted of many nations and held a large influence across the globe. In the 1980's, the decline of the Soviet Union and rising nationalism allowed Latvia and other countries to gain independence following the fall of the Soviet Union.

Latvia quickly integrated itself with the rest of Europe. Joining the European Union and Eurozone, Latvia prospered as a rich country for much of its pre-Flood existence. However, the county suffered economically as the core and capital of the county, Riga, flooded. Unable to build a sea wall, the capital moved to Daugavpils. Meanwhile, Latvia managed to annex territory belonging to the former Russian Federation after its collapse in the 2020s.

As Europe began to collapse from the Flood, Latvia integrated itself with Poland, then a rising power. After Poland's victory in WWIII, it held a level of superiority not seen in Europe since the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth more than 4 centuries ago. Rising nationalism and the retreating of the sea levels during the Flood led to Poland annexing Latvia. Despite this, the Federalist Party in Poland gave the Latvians more representation by re-forming Poland into the Federation of Poland and the Baltic in 2076.

Poland's era of strength came crashing down in the 2130s, after the loss of Poland in the Third Mexican-American War. This war gave America a level of total superiority across the globe not seen since WWIII in the mid 2050s. All of Europe entered the American domain, and as the European Association formed, Latvia was granted as an official province of the EA. Today, Latvia remains a province within the Association.
Railgun

A **railgun** is an electromagnetic projectile launcher based on principles similar to those of the homopolar motor. A railgun uses a pair of parallel conductors, or rails, along which a sliding armature is accelerated by the electromagnetic effects of a current that flows down one rail, into the armature and then back along the other rail.

## History

### **Type 225**

The Japanese were the first to pioneer the railgun rifle concept, during World War III, based upon research that showed that most firefights happen beyond 500 meters and that contemporary rifles were under-powered for most small arms combat. The Type 225 was the first armor mounted railgun. Powered by an independent micro-gas-turbine engine and chambered for 30mm tungsten rounds, the Type 225 was capable of a maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute from a drum magazine.

### **M801**

Like the Japanese, the Americans were influenced by experience showing that most combat engagements occur beyond 500 meters and that their soldiers were consistently outgunned by heavily armed Japanese troops, especially those armed with the Type 225 railgun. The 30mm M801 Barrett Cannon was introduced as the first armor mounted railgun for the US military. Developed as a select-fire high powered rifle combining the rate of fire of a light machine gun with the range and stopping power of a railgun, the M801 is considered to be the common ancestor to all modern armor mounted railguns. While rate of fire was not significantly better than that of the Type 225 (45 rounds per minute against 30), it was a belt fed weapon rather than magazine fed, providing a greater fire time.

### **M107e**

The standard issue rifle of the 22nd Century is the M107e MagRifle, which fires a round that is either heated to the point of plasma and discharged at short ranges, or fires a semi-solid round upwards of 250 miles that morphs into a flat disk .0000128 seconds prior to the point of impact distributing the most force over the largest area.

Rhineland

**Rhineland,** officially the **Republic of Rhineland**, was a sovereign nation located in Central Europe that would end up participating in the Third Mexican-American War.

## History

Created after the dissolution of Germany, Rhineland bordered Hanover to the north, Saxony and Bavaria to the east, Switzerland to the south, and France and the Netherlands to the west. The main ethnic group of Rhineland were German's, with small populated pockets of French and Swiss. The main religion is Protestantism and Christianity, with a plurality of Islamic and generally non-religious citizens. The official language of Rhineland is German.
Associated state

An **associated state** is the minor partner in a formal, free relationship between a political territory with a degree of statehood and the United States, for which no other specific term, such as protectorate, is adopted. The details of such free association are contained in the Treaty of San Juan, Article X, and the Associated Statehood Act of 2139 and are specific to the countries involved. Free associated states can be described as independent or not, but free association is not a qualification of an entity's statehood or status as a subject of international law.
Eighth Party System

The Eighth Party System refers to the era of American national politics that began in 2080 with the rise of the Neo-Jeffersonian Coalition under President Oscar Lachman following the Second Depression. It followed the Seventh Party System which started under Dylan J. Price. The Eighth Party System ended in 2132 with the rise of the Union Party under Lionel J. Halvidar resulting in the creation of the Ninth Party System.

The perceived Eighth Party System is characterized by an electoral shift from the electoral coalitions of the Seventh Party System during the New Nationalist Era: the Conservative Party became the dominant party in the East and major cities while the Progress Party increasingly started to assemble a coalition of Hispanics, rural Progressives, and Augments. A critical factor was the major transformation of the political system in the Lachman Era of the 2080s and beyond, led by Oscar Lachman, during the Second Depression. Dominant personalities during this period included Oscar Lachman (C), Rayleen Malakar (C), Tom Steele (C), Stewart M. Li (C), Miriam Weinstein (P), and Thang Levin (C).

## Economic History

The eighth party system came on the heels of the Second Depression. As general purpose AIs, longevity technologies, and advanced robotics replaced existing workers or at least reduced the demand for new ones, the US unemployment rate began to steadily climb, wages fell, and the dollar's value began to deflate. By the election of 2080 the US unemployment rate had climbed to 22%,the highest in more than 150 years. The Lachman administration argued for lowering interests rates to free up currency, close the borders and actually deport a sizable portion of America's immigrant population to reduce the strain on the job market, deregulate investment to create more enterprises and therefore jobs, and lower taxes.

These reforms resulted in a majority of Americans forming Personal Liability Corporations by 2095, and the largest expansion of the private banking industry in a century as private equity banks emerged to finance individual purchase of robotic labor for new enterprises, and private investment was decentralized as value shifted from an abstract corporation to individual worth. The resultant economic boom that followed saw Americans leverage this expansion of available investor capital and new energy sources from the colonies to expand the robotic workforce as a means of carrying out personal business objectives.

By 2120 this system resulted in the wealth gap widening to its largest degree since the Labor Shortage, with 99% of the country's wealth being concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population.
People's Republic of China

The People's Republic of China (PRC; Chinese: 中华人民共和国) was a communist country in East Asia.

## History

### **Return to Dictatorship**

#### **Economic Crash**

*Main article: Late 2010s Recession*

For several years prior to the Crash of 2018, Chinese investors began buying up properties overseas in an act of capital flight to safeguard their wealth against the coming crash. China faced the largest credit bubble in history, with formal bank loans totaling over $33 trillion before the crash, and a shadow banking system holding another $37 trillion in dark money loans.

#### **Second Civil War**

Hong Kong

**Hong Kong** (/ˈhɒŋkɒŋ/ (US) or /hɒŋˈkɒŋ/ (UK); Chinese: 香港, Cantonese: [hœ́ːŋ.kɔ̌ːŋ]) is a city-state on the eastern Pearl River Delta in Southern China. With 8.04 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Hong Kong is also a major global financial centre and one of the most developed cities in the world.

Hong Kong was established as a colony of the British Empire after the Qing Empire ceded Hong Kong Island from Xin'an County at the end of the First Opium War in 1841 then again in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. British Hong Kong was occupied by Imperial Japan from 1941 to 1945 during World War II; British administration resumed after the surrender of Japan. The whole territory was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1997. Hong Kong was *de facto* independent from 2031 to 2058, before joining the United Federation of China in 2058. After the Third Chinese Civil War broke out in 2105, Hong Kong was occupied by US forces aiming to secure crucial economic interests in China. The American occupation lasted until 2140. During American Occupation the city was designated as a territory. In 2140, Hong Kong joined the Association of East Asia and was incorporated into the Guangdong Province as a special municipality.

Originally a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, the territory has become one of the world's most significant financial centres and commercial ports. It is the world's tenth-largest exporter and ninth-largest importer. Hong Kong has a market economy characterised by a focus on services, low taxation and free trade; its currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong is home to the third-highest number of billionaires of any city in the world, the second-highest number of billionaires of any city in Asia, and the largest concentration of ultra high-net-worth individuals of any city in the world. Although the city has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, severe income inequality exists among the population.

Hong Kong is a highly developed city and ranks fourth on the UN Human Development Index. The city has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world, and its residents have some of the highest life expectancies in the world. The dense space has led to a highly developed transportation network with public transport rates exceeding 90%. Hong Kong was ranked 3rd in the Global Financial Centres Index before the Third Chinese Civil War.
Hiilo

The **Hiilo** are one of two intelligent inhabitants of the planet Ivrilu in the Kepler-452 system, the other being the Hivvir. The Hiilo split off from their Hivvir ancestors around 700k years ago. Unlike their cousins, the Hiilo are not able to glide, and instead dwell primarily in temperate savannas.

## Evolution

Ivrilu has a surface gravity only 63% that of Earth, and 125% the atmospheric pressure, enabling far more avenues for evolution to enable powered flight. The Hivvir's distant ancestors--and the common ancestors of all "vertebrates" on Ivrilu-- were six limbed amphibious cephalopods featuring gliding membranes. Later descendants of these ancestors evolved a more tetrapod-esque body plan, with two of the limbs becoming vestigial, but the membranes remained.

The Hiilo, like the Hivvir are bipedal, standing roughly 2.2 meters tall and are noticeably more slender than humans, with no hair or other integument to speak of. Their eyesight is superior to natural humans, but inferior to that of the Hivvir, with eyes that can move independently of each other and possess seven color receptors compared to human's natural three. Their patagia is far less developed than the Hivvir, making it impossible for them to achieve any form of flight beyond reducing their rate of fall.

## History

### Society

The Hiilo were organized into several largely pastoral tribes prior to first contact, almost entirely dwelling within a large valley in the temperate south of the planet's largest continental mass. At the time of first contact, it was estimated that there were around 18,000 individuals at time of first contact, compared to the 70,000 of the Hivvir.

### **First Contact**

The Hiilo have been fairly receptive to human education and technology transfer, having crafted their own written language by 2125, and adopting many terran agricultural practices. This has led to a population boom, and the elevation of the Hiilo to the dominant species on the planet.
India

**India** is an independent sovereign nation and a United States associated state consisting of the whole of the Indian Subcontinent. The region is commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, however the formal political union is also called the United Indian Republic was one of the founding members of the American protectorate system.

India was divided for much of its history, having only been unified for less than a century by the British Empire, prior to the Compact of Free Association with the United States. India was divided between fifteen nation-states prior to unification after the Third Mexican War (2141), and after the end of British rule in 1947 the subcontinent was split between two Muslim and one Hindu majority states.

## History

### World War III

India sided with the United States during WWIII, having been a historic opponent toward Turkish and Japanese ambitions along their greater periphery.

**Miriam Rose Weinstein** was the 63rd President of the United States (2121-2129). A Progressive lawyer from Florida, Weinstein worked her way up the ladder of Georgia state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. She was elected vice president under Estela La Riva 2104 and was re-elected Governor of Georgia 2 years after La Riva's defeat in 2108. Weinstein remained a popular figure in Progressive politics and ran in her own right for the Presidency in 2121, where her reputation as a moderate Progressive proved an asset. Her otherwise successful Presidency was beset by a series of patronage scandals in her second term that damaged her otherwise popular reputation. However, she is still remembered fondly by most Americans.

## Presidency

### **Colonial Policy**

Weinstein was the first President to make a sincere push for colonial integration, calling for the inclusion of several Lunar territories as states in the Union. Congress narrowly passed an authorization package that established a vote for statehood in the Lunar territories, but the final votes for admission to the Union were blocked by the Conservatives and the MLP.
De-Extinction

The process of reviving extinct species via cloning was present in science-fiction long before it became a reality, with the most famous example by far being Michael Crichton's novel (and subsequent film) *Jurassic Park.* Although the novel contained a number of inaccuracies--for instance, DNA has a half-life of less than half a million years, which makes cloning dinosaurs impossible--it served as the inspiration for a number of so-called "de-extinction" projects in the 21st century.

The first extinct animal ever cloned was a Pyrenean ibex in 2003; unfortunately the clone lived for only a few minutes before dying. It was not until 2024 that a true success was had with the cloning of an extinct animal. The animal in this case was the Australian gastric-brooding frog, a species that had been extensively researched prior to its extinction in 1985 due to its ability to regulate its own stomach acid. The cloning project was intended partly for medical purposes as well as conservation, as the frog's unique abilities were seen as a source of a possible cure for stomach ulcers.

The first extinct mammal successfully cloned, the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger, was also from Australia, and was revived in 2028 by the same team of scientists responsible for the revival of the gastric-brooding frog. However, at the time de-extinction was still seen by most people, even many scientists, as a curiosity rather than a serious form of conservation. It was not until 2029, with the publication of Peter Shay's influential postnaturalist book *Humanity's Garden*, that de-extinction became accepted as a tool for saving the Earth's declining biodiversity.

A number of de-extinctions followed, including the pig-footed bandicoot (2036), the giant hutia (2036), the aurochs (2037), the bluebuck (2037), the Caribbean monk seal (2041), and the Steller's sea cow (2043). It was also around this time that the technology to re-create birds and reptiles was perfected, allowing for the revival of the passenger pigeon (2042), the Carolina parakeet (2044), the dodo (2044), the Labrador duck (2045), and the great auk (2047). Because true cloning is impossible for animals that hatch from eggs, the de-extinction of birds and reptiles is instead accomplished through using preserved DNA samples as a guide for restructuring the DNA of extant animals. Following the re-creation of suitable habitat during the Refreeze, a number of animals that had died out at the end of the last ice age were also revived, including the woolly mammoth in 2066.

By the mid-22nd century, as genetic engineering became much more commonplace, an estimated 70% of all vertebrate species killed off by humans in the past 12,000 years were eventually revived, along with a number of invertebrates.As technology advanced a number of longer-extinct species were recreated to the best of capabilities developed.
Sagan

## History

In 1997 NASA launched the Mars Pathfinder mission, landing a small lander and the first interplanetary rover in what was once the Ares Vallis of Chryse Planitia. The lander was later renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station, while the rover, Sojourner, operated for 92 sols before losing power. And for nearly 40 years the sands of Mars would burry these robotic pioneers in dust.

When terraforming began in the 2030s, NASA was charged with preserving sites and artifacts on the surface considered to be of special historical or scientific interest. The Pathfinder spacecraft were no exception, and were exhumed by 2037. Carl Sagan Memorial Station would become the site of a permanent scientific instillation  that would grow into a network of facilities spread over hundreds of square kilometers. The original settlement would eventually become the city of Sojourner while the network of research bases would form the core of the eventual Sagan Territory established after World War III by President Jacobi.

As the once dry Ares Vallis became the thriving Ares Sound, Sagan went from being a relatively underpopulated network of research stations to a top destination of immigrants from Earth. Its research bases became part of the Sagan University System, which remains one of the greatest systems of higher education in the Sol System. While founded as a place of learning, Sagan has become a primarily maritime oriented society, with some of the busiest ports and shipyards on Mars.

Most of the population is concentrated around the Bay of Galilaei centered on the city of Tana which bestrides the inlet of the same name. Tana is home to one of the lesser Universities of the SU system, SU Tana, which is really only known for its contributions to the Martian shipbuilding industry. The crown jewel of the SU system is in the capital city of Sojourner, the Sagan Institute of Technology or SIT. It was SIT scientists who first proved the existence of the Graviton in the lab, and has since become one of the most important players in the field of Gravitonics.
Eternal Spring Empire

The Eternal Spring Empire was an unrecognized breakaway confederacy that existed for 20 days, from the 4th to 24th of December of 2149. The Empire comprised mainly of the Eternal Spring O'Neil colony ship and its confederated colonies that declared secession and warred against the United States during the Eternal Spring Revolt.
Humanity's Garden

***Humanity's Garden***was the title of a nonfiction environmentalist book published in 2029 by University of California ecology professor Peter Shay. It is widely regarded as a major influence in the age of Postnaturalism, just as Racher Carson's book *Silent Spring* was for the original environmental movement in the 1970s.

Though an ardent environmentalist, Shay spoke out against traditional forms of environmentalism. He pointed out that, over thousands of years, humanity has altered the world's ecology to such and extent--the main examples he gives are the extinctions of the megafauna in the Americas and Australia and the flightless birds on the Pacific islands--that many of the so-called pristine wilderness areas were not in fact pristine at all, so preserving them in their present state had little ecological value. The title of the book refers to this idea. Earth as a whole is likened to a garden, an artificial ecosystem created by humans.

Taking the analogy further, Shay compared humanity to a gardener, faced with a garden crippled by blight. He advised that humans ought to actively intervene to repair damaged ecosystems to their former state instead of simply preserving what was left. To that end, he strongly supported the use of geoengineering and De-Extinction, which he saw as more effective means of conservation than merely fencing off protected areas. Shay later became a prominent member of the Earth Working Group, and was one of the key figures in carrying out The Refreeze, which he saw as the ultimate vindication of his life's work.
New Korean Wave

The **New Korean Wave** was the name given to a period of popularity enjoyed by Korean art, music, films, and TV series, stretching roughly from the unification of North and South Korea to World War III. The name was taken from the original "Korean Wave", a trend for South Korean popular culture, especially pop music or "K-pop", that was prominent in the late 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. Most historians of consumer culture mark the reunification of Korea in 2031 as the beginning point of the New Korean Wave, as it greatly expanded Korea's (formerly South Korea) presence in the economy in east Asia.

The New Korean Wave was marked by an increased foreign market for the Korean car, robotics, and electronics industries-- all fields that had previously been dominated by the neighboring country of Japan. As relationships between Korea and Japan began to deteriorate over the course of the 2030s and into the 2040s, the United States actually leaned on Korea to expand its global economy as a "counter" to Japan. In fact, it could be said that by the 2040s, Korea's role in the global economy more or less mirrored that of Japan 40 years previously.

The New Korean Wave came to an abrupt end with Japan's invasion of the Korean Peninsula. With Korea's government now devoted to military production, the output of cultural exports that had become associated with the country during the previous two decades were either stopped completely or (where possible) redirected to producing war-related goods. However, its repercussions were still felt during the war. US President Evalyn Jacobi came up with the "Korean Ties" campaign, which essentially encouraged Americans to contribute economically to the war effort by purchasing Korean goods. This did not pass without comment from many Japanophiles, who saw it as a thinly veiled attack on their lifestyle (though others, it should be noted, did not mind it at all, as they were just as interested in Korean exports).

After the war ended, Korea's shattered economy was not able to rebuild itself to the heights of the 2030s and 2040s, and the 2050s are generally accepted as the end point of the New Korean Wave. While Korea remained a close economic partner of the United States for the rest of its history, and the after-effects of the New Korean Wave would continue to be felt in both countries' popular culture, this unique period would remain consigned to the early 21st century.
AstroBlues

AstroBlues is a style of music that was popular in the 2040s in the United States. It was developed by the residents of space colonies on the Moon and the asteroids. The style is a fusion of the blues, jazz, country, R&B (all styles of it), soft rock, pop, hip-hop (which at the same time was evolving into a way similar to jazz when it evolved into bebop), and electronic music (all styles of it). It ended up influencing Epical Music in the 2060s.

*Main article: Third Chinese Civil War*
La Riva took office at the start of the Chinese Civil War and was responsible for the American peace keeping mission to Beijing. What was originally a very popular decision grew out of favor with the public and by the 2108 elections, La Riva took much of the blame for China's dissolution and the loss of so much of the country to Mexican influence.
Russia

**Russia**, officially the **Russian Republic**, was a sovereign nation in Europe that existed from 2027 to 2138, collapsing as a result of the Intermarium defeat in the Third Mexican-American War. Founded following the collapse of the Union State and Russia's balkanization at the end of the Little Cold War, the Russian Republic was a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic bordered by Karelia, Nenetsia, and Finland to the north, Ural Republic to the east, Don Republic, Samara Republic, Tatarstan, and Bashkortostan to the south, and Ukraine and Poland to the west. The official language of Russia is Russian. The primary religion practiced in the Russian Republic is Eastern Orthodox, although there is no official religion in Russia. The capital of Russia, Moscow, is renowned as one the of the largest and most urbanized capitals in the world, with other large cities including Novgorod and Kazan.

## History

Facing new strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria, in 2025, western governments began aggressively funding research into Phage therapy. The new Russian Republic's economy saw a major uptick as phage treatments in use for more than a century found a demand in the West.
Abdul Şahin

Abdul Şahin was an Turkish politician and President of Turkey, serving from 2044 to 2054. A decorated veteran of War against ISIS, Şahin became a major leader of the Islamist movement within the country and a sharp critic of the secular government. He gained support by promoting Turkish Islamic nationalism, and Pan-Turkism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. He was elected to the Turkish Parliament in 2039 and rose to lead the Party for a United Turkey (PUT) to a legislative majority in the 2044 elections, leading to his own election to the Presidency.

Şahin ultimately wanted to establish a New Ottoman Empire with a base of power stretching from north Africa into the Eurasian Steppe. To achieve this, he pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of uniting the Turkic states under a common currency and military; directing the resources of the state towards this goal. This included a massive arms build up in Turkey.

**Lise Duchesne**(January 5, 2024 – 2113) was the 54th President of the United States, serving from 2073 to 2077. She oversaw the admission of the former territories of the Anglosphere into the Union and the United States' tricentennial year.

## Presidency

#### New territories

As Duchesne took office, Congress faced a battery of questions related to the Union Act of 2073, and the new territories acquired after the First Nations War which had been divided into military districts. It was unclear which districts would be established into states and which would become federal territories, while the question of their partisan makeup threatened to bitterly divide Congress.

In Duchesne's view, the best way forward was to return the First Nations to territories and admit the established administrative divisions with sufficient populations into the union as they stood. Where debate grew was with regard to New Zealand and the British Isles which were experiencing population surges as their territories becamemore livable with the falling tides.
Minya

Minya is a habitable moon in the Gliese 581 (also known as The Velmen) System. It orbits a gas giant planet that orbits a red dwarf smaller than Sol system's sun. It's about the same size as Ganymede, if not slightly larger.

## Climate

Due to its size (about one-third the size of Earth) and low gravity, Minya is a world with a low-gravity, low-energy ecology. Because it is a moon rather than a planet, it spends much of its time eclipsed behind the planet it orbits, so a great deal of its time is spent in complete darkness. Local life forms have therefore had to evolve to cope with long "bright" and "dark" seasons not unlike those found near Earth's polar regions.

## Fauna

As a low-gravity world, the majority of Minya's wildlife tend to have a gracile body plan and the largest "animals" on the moon can grow to sizes comparable to that of Earth's sauropods.

## Flora

The Flora of Minya ranges from giant tree-like organisms to grass-like "plants" that make up a majority of the planet's surface. Unlike Earth's plants, the "plants" of Minya possess a circulatory system with a heart, allowing them to better metabolize nutrients in their world's low-energy environment.

**Horace Fadel** (2029 – 2144) was an American politician who served as the 55th President of the United States from 2077 to 2081 during the Second Depression. A Progressive, as Secretary of Labor in the 2060s he introduced AIOS systems into labor management boards to increase the efficiency of hiring practices and provided government support for the adoption of post-war labor saving technologies. As president from 2077 to 2081, his ambitious programs were overwhelmed by the Second Depression, which seemed to get worse every year despite the increasingly large-scale interventions he made in the economy. He was defeated in a landslide in 2081 by Conservative Oscar Lachman, and spent the rest of his life as a progressive denouncing right-wing policies, as Conservatives repeatedly used his Depression record to attack progressive and justify the reforms to the economy.

## Legacy

Fadel became a progressive spokesman in opposition to the domestic and foreign policies of the Conservative party. He opposed Lachman's deportation programs and the Second Mexican-American War. He had better relations with President Seras Stultz , and Fadel helped produce a number of reports that changed U.S. occupation policy in Panama. By the time of his death in 2144, he had rehabilitated his image. Nevertheless, Fadel is generally not ranked highly in historical rankings of Presidents of the United States.

Many historians had compared his presidency to Herbert Hoover. Citing that both Fadel and Hoover's rise to power and were both very similar and is just another example of the repeat of history.
Bavaria

**Bavaria,**officially the**Republic of Bavaria**, was a sovereign nation located in Central Europe that would end up participating in the Third Mexican-American War. Created after the dissolution of Germany, Bavaria bordered Saxony to the north, the Czech Republic to the east, Austria to the south, and Rhineland to the west. The main ethnic group of Bavaria were German's, with small populative pockets of Austrians and Czechs. The main religion is Catholicism and Christianity, with a plurality of Islamic and generally non-religious citizens. The official language of Bavaria is German.
Iran

The **Republic of Iran** or **Iran** is an Associated state that fell under the influence of the United States in December 4, 2140 after the Third Mexican-American War. The United States provides defense, funding grants, integration into the Quantum Economic Model, and access to U.S. social services for citizens of these areas of Iran.

It was also the last country on Earth that became secularized.
Hanover

**Hanover,** officially the **Republic of Hanover**, was a sovereign nation located in Central Europe that would end up participating in the Third Mexican-American War. Created after the dissolution of Germany, Hanover bordered Denmark to the north, Netherlands to the west, Bradenburg to the east, Saxony to the southeast, and Rhineland to the south. The main ethnic group of Hanover were German's, with small populative pockets of Dutch and Danish. The main religion is Protestantism and Christianity, with a plurality of Islamic and generally non-religious citizens. The official language of Hanover is German.
Prometheus 1

**Prometheus 1** was an American space probe, the first to utilize a White-Alcubierre Drive or Warp Drive, which was launched to the Alpha Centauri System 11 October 2059. It was used to chart a safe course to the system and then conduct scientific surveys of the system and its planets prior to any human mission. The flight out took 18 months in which the warp drive was active for 5 jumps.

Prometheus 1 would be the progenitor to not only all crewed warp capable spacecraft, but also the 18 successive probes of the Prometheus program which were used extensively by NASA to chart safe courses through interstellar space and conduct missions of exploration and scientific observation prior to human contact. As of 2160, only the Prometheus 1, 9, and 14 have survived the program, with Prometheus 1 being featured in the Smithsonian Space Museum. Prometheus 9 and 14 are still in use, orbiting the neutron stars RX J1856.5−3754 and PSR J0108−1431.

## Design

The Prometheus project was unique among interstellar space probes in that they predate chronoscopes and thus had to conduct far more warp jumps to provide an even semi-accurate simulation of interstellar space.
Podcopters

"Podcopter" is a colloquial name used for various small, usually electric VTOL aircraft used for a variety of functions, including personal transport, medical evacuation, law enforcement, and as taxis. In short, they represent the closest technology has yet achieved to the so-called "flying car" ideal of the 20th century, although there are significant differences: podcopters do not require a physical pilot (they fly autonomously), and most are only large enough to seat two or three people along with their luggage.

The first podcopters were developed in the late 2010s, and were essentially scaled-up versions of the multi-rotored helicopter drones that had become ubiquitous by that point. By the early 2020s, a number of major cities had introduced "drone taxi" services, with the aircraft traveling along preprogrammed routes to transport paying passengers. Soon afterwards, this was expanded to include other uses, with police departments, hospitals, and even a number of private owners purchasing the vehicles, which had by now been termed "podcopters."

Because podcopters are automated, they are much less prone to accidents than manned aircraft, even when flying in close formation. Most podcopters are powered by four or more electric rotors, which can swivel in multiple directions to allow for extreme agility. The podcopter, along with the car, remains a fixture of transportation in cities around the world in the 22nd century.
Constellation-class interstellar vehicle

The *Constellation*-class is a planned series of next-generation interstellar spacecraft under construction by NASA. Unlike all previous warp capable spacecraft, the Constellation will use artificial-gravity to generate its warp field and will be powered primarily by energy quantum teleported from the solar Dyson swarm, allowing it to achieve the largest warp-field size yet, an unprecedented 400 meters with a top cruising effective speed of approximately 700 times the speed of light.

The *Constellation* is by far the most ambitious warp-capable space program in history, with NASA currently building over 100 hulls to help enable the colonization of Alpha Centauri and ease travel between Earth and the exosolar Associated states.
International Space Station

The **International Space Station** (**ISS**) is the oldest inhabited Orbital built by humans. Its first component was launched into orbit in 1998, with the first long-term residents arriving in November 2000. It has been inhabited continuously since that date. Development and assembly of the station continued well into the mid 21st century, with the platform undergoing its most extensive expansions in 2029 and in 2057.

When it was completed the ISS was the largest human-made body in LEO and was the first human made object visible to the naked eye. In 2029 the platform was moved from LEO to its permanent position in GEO.

The ISS has held many roles during its life, from international research lab, tourist attraction, interplanetary staging area, before transitioning to its current role as neutral negotiating position for both Earth's nations and alien cultures. Most of the laboratory space was converted into an international and eventually interspecies university after 2057, and the bulk of the platform serves a variety of diplomatic functions to this day.

Gravitonics

The field of **gravitonics** is a branch of physics and gravity engineering that deals with the emission, behaviour and effects of gravitons using gravitonic devices. Gravitonics uses active devices to control graviton flow, be it through increasing or decreasing the gravitational field.

## History

The Graviton was first manipulated in 2110 by Jovian physicists. For the next decade Gravitonics was limited to university and government research labs. In the 2120s, under a grant from the ITC, a concerted effort was made to scale up graviton generation and field control through a black project known as the Weak Force Project. The end result was the first practical artificial gravity field generator that would be the basis for the Olympus-class dreadnought's propulsion system and relativistic cannon. The Olympus GFGs produced 3 artificial gravity wells within the barrel of the dreadnought's main gun, which were used to accelerate matter to relativistic speeds. This made it possible for the creation of either a relativistic kill vehicle (Angelfire) or an extremely efficient form of propulsion.

Since the end of the Third Mexican-American War, gravity propulsion has become a more common across the solar system, entering the mass market at the end of the 2150s, spurred on by the completion of the Sol Dyson Sphere which enabled greater wireless transmission of energy. Where the Olympus relied on hydrogen as its propulsive gas, modern spacecraft rely on powdered heavy metals to reduce the volume needed for fuel storage. GFGs can produce gravity wells so dense, that matter can be accelerated near-infinitely and approach the speed of light. Under those conditions, very little propellant is required to achieve high delta-V. These new gravity drives are a defining feature of the late Terran diaspora, enabling humans to travel between worlds in a matter of hours in extremely small spacecraft. A side effect of this is that O'Neil Ships are becoming increasingly obsolete as a form of crew transportation in-system. As of 2160, 90% of O'Neil Ships have replaced their fusion and mass driver propulsion systems with gravity drives, and now serve primarily as cargo transportation or sub-light transportation to other star systems.

Gravity propulsion has enabled a number of ambitious projects, including the orbital repositioning of Eris and Sabine to serve as moons of Mars and Venus. The Constellation-class interstellar vehicle will also be the first generation of warp-capable spacecraft to use gravitonic initiate faster-than-light travel.
