Earth

The 2100s have dawned, and to the surprise of most, the world is still spinning. The chemical fires and nuclear fireballs of the 50s and 60s gave way to the foundation of the new world order at the hands of NeoGOV, and now science, productivity, culture and technology are developing at a serious pace for the first time in more than seventy-five years.

And yet, underlying the re-awakening of global society, a cancer is seething in the shadows, seeping out to poison the new dawn. The total, unshakeable control of NeoGOV, and the authoritarian domains of the NationStates and MegaCorps are for the first time threatened, as personal genetic tampering, bionic enhancements, nanotechnology and rampant drug dependence fuel the fires of social malcontent.

The streets are still stifled and dark with the poisons of the 21st century, and as the underclasses begin to demand their share of the new global wealth, the joints of human civilisation groan underneath the weight of a billion disenfranchised souls.
