    An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    Would South Ame4ica accept such a style of government for itself?

    What are some examples of societal engineering the tech oligarchs tried to implement, through this sort of planned society?

    What is direct AI-rule like? I mean is it okay or for citizens?

    An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    How does it fit with the attempted Islamic nationalism Pakistan has tried to generally use, and was founded upon, as a unifying ideology to attempt to paper over all the ethnic/racial tensions and languages and such?

    I just checked in my PDF of it and I don't see "Infiniter scum" anywhere.

    Yeah but where was the demonym confirmed? Is there a book it's in?

    I think Siva-1 fits that description more, which had a literal meme of nonviolence spread early on: You're talking about Siva-3: Wasn't that actually written to mock utopias and fits more a dystopia IIRC? Where? Infinity is the organization that controls cross-travel for Homeline.

    Because in order to have reasons for players to enjoy a place in an RPG, there needs to be reasons for why places can't be utopias. Because those are boring.

    I don't think the good outweighs the bad. I just don't think it's particularly dystopian. Reich-5 sounds more dystopian. Do you consider Centrum to be dystopian in nature?

    Two of the Great Powers of Gernsback, on their equivalent of the League of Nations Security Council equivalent, sound pretty democratic to me.

    I consider dystopian places like Steel, or Lenin-2, where human civilization has come crashing down. Gernsback is about as racist or colonialist or sexist as our 1940s. It is not less democratic, since minorities were allowed to vote anyways. Outside of terrible social mores, the setting...

    In what sense? It isn't a utopia either? It's sort of normal. It's death rate is apparently the same as ours.

    Don't know. In order to set up an RPG, often a conflict like this cannot be won. Also, Zeta sounds like Ming-3 from Alternate Earths.

    Humor aside, how closely does your map and such follow the Autoduel stuff? Any changes you made in your description compared to what is mentioned in the Autoduel sourcebook?

    I find it funny how Mad Max didn't happen in Autoduel's Australia. :D

    They probably are. Mostly they want to shift worldlines to be closer to them than Homeline. Which makes it harder for Homeline to access those worldlines then. As for colonizing, I think they're still focused on fixing their Earth first.

    I apologize for bumping this but I think there are a few things that might be off in your idea though. For example, in Merlin-1's case, they use gate spells to travel to other settings: In addition, looking at Infinite Worlds, I don't quite know if the Centrans really understand the danger of...
