net-turtels - world overview

(note: original idea of westcoats one by peter groeber. original idea of the neo-islamic-front by andi hildebrandt)

the mutant animals

in the year 2139 1/3 of the world-population are mutant animals. by law there is no difference between humans and mutant animals, but the truth is that mutants are second class citiziens. so most of them live in the cheaper areas or in the slums of the megacities.

technology

till the year 2049 technology advanced to a very high level. cybernetics (tech-level like in ninjas & superspies) for example had been available at 2049. but the great war needed only two years to stop the development for decades. fifty years later the first improvments in the different fields of science and technology had been made.
by the year 2139 (the year of the champain) the technology reached a new level. cybernetics are superior to the old systems of the great war, the primary health care allows humans and mutant to live till the age of 130 (but the crime rate dont) and space is no longer a place only for trained astronauts.

politics

in most countries goverments still exists, but most of them are nothing more then puppets of the megacorporations. only the countries under the control of the neo-islamic-front and the ufan have really strong goverments.
the same is true for the military. in most countries the national military forces are small and bad equiped. on the other side the corporate forces of the megacorporations a well equpid and well paid.
