   Keys: 2805

   The current year all events take place in. It is far in the future and many advancements have been made in technology, but there is always more to discover and learn about in this vast universe. Furthermore, access to much of the advanced technology can be quite expensive for the average person.

   It should be noted that while it's far in the future, and there is some futuristic clothing, most people in 2805 dress pretty similary to people from the early 21st century and most people tend to find stereotypical futuristic clothing pretty tacky, with the only exception being bodysuits.

   Anyone claiming that it's not the year 2805 will be seen as weird at best and brain damaged at worst.

2. #2The Galactic Bodies

   Keys: planets, galactic body, galactic bodies, earth, moon, asteroid belt space colonies, asteroid belt colonies, belter colonies, venus, mars, europa

   As of right now, humanity is living on six different galactic bodies. Earth, the Moon, various asteroid belt space colonies, Venus, Mars, and Europa. The Moon, Venus, Mars, and Europa have all been terraformed and humans can live easily on them.

3. #3The Technocrat and Naturist Conflict

   Keys: tehcnocrat, naturist

   One of the greatest ideological conflicts to arise from space exploration is that of the Technocrats and the Naturists. It all started when technology to edit human genes in the womb was invented. This caused a massive controversy between people who thought humanity had gone too far with technology and needed to stop playing God, and people who were fine with gene editing. The people who were fine with gene editing became known as Technocrats, and the people against it became known as Naturists.

   Technocrats believe that technology and humanity are inherently connected, and view the natural human body as weak and always needing improvement. They reject the Naturist idea of technology ever going too far and blame Naturists when tragedies that could've been prevented with modern technology (such as people dying from illnesses with no cure) occur. Due to their rejection of the idea that playing God is a bad thing, most Technocrats tend to be atheists who don't believe in any higher beings or afterlives.

   Naturists are of the belief that humans mustn't lose their humanity to technology, and are scared of the idea of destroying humanity and the universe with technology. While for most naturists, this simply means rejecting things such as gene editing and synthetic drugs/medication, some Naturists can be quite extreme with their views and even reject any and all modern medicine even if said medicine is needed to cure an otherwise incurable illness. Naturists tend to see Technocrats as cold and heartless people who've lost their humanity. Due to their strong belief that it's bad for humans to play God with technology, most Naturists are spiritual or religious.

   Generally speaking, most people in modern times are usually in the middle when it comes to this debate and don't identify either as a Technocrat nor Naturist. But there are still pockets of societies with strong leanings towards either of the two ideologies.

4. #4Gene Editing

   Keys: gene editing

   In 2195 the technology to edit genes in the womb was invented by Moonian scientists. The first child to be born via edited genes was born in 2196 and was a boy who was born with blonde hair and blue eyes when his natural genetic code would've had him be born as a girl with black hair and brown eyes. While this was impressive, many people were worried that technology had gone too far, and this caused a massive debate in Moon politics over whether or not gene editing in the womb should be an acceptable practice. Those who supported gene editing became known as Technocrats and those who were against gene editing became known as Naturists.

   There have been many conflicts and controversies to arise over gene editing, but generally speaking most modern day people are okay with editing out genes for incurable illnesses and debilitating birth defects. While most people will virtue signal and state that it's wrong to use gene editing for vanity reasons, it can't be denied that men with large penises and women with large breasts started to become more common after the introduction of gene editing. Furthermore, people from Technocrat societies tend to be taller than people from Naturist ones.

5. #5Gene Edit Failure

   Keys: gene edit failure, gef

   Gene Edit Failure (commonly referred to as GEF) is when gene editing causes negative health problems in the gene edited child. This can result in a child being born with certain birth defects/allergies/health problems/etc. that were never in the child's family's genetics until their genes were edited in the womb. The first case of GEF is believed to have occurred in 2205 when a child on the Moon was born with Spina Bifida despite the child's family having no genetic history of the condition. Since the Moon was extremely Technocrat and pro-gene editing, this child, along with future children born with GEF was hidden from the public and scientists who tried to alert the public about the problem would be killed.

   Despite the governments on the Moon's various attempts at preventing the public from learning about GEF, GEF became common knowledge on all galactic bodies by 2300, and this public knowledge was a big factor in the Moon becoming less extreme in it's Technocrat ideology.

   Naturists will claim that GEF is incredibly common, and Technocrats will claim that GEF is incredibly rare, but both of them are wrong. GEF generally occurs with 10% of births of gene edited children. It should be noted that most instances of GEF are fairly minor, but there have been some devastating cases of children being born with debilitating disabilities and some deadly illnesses thought to have been long gone making a comeback due to GEF.

   It's unknown what specifically causes GEF to occur in the gene editing process. Some will say that it's incompetent doctors and geneticists failing at their jobs, others will say that it's merely an inevitability when messing around with genetics. But for modern day scientists it's complicated, and they've yet to find a conclusive hypothesis for the condition. It was at first believed that GEF was caused by editing too many genes in the womb, but then there was a famous case in 2305 where a girl whose parents only used gene editing to reduce their child's risk for breast cancer was born with Sickle Cell Disease despite her family having no genetic risk for the condition. Furthermore, there have been several Technocrat societies who use gene editing extensively for their children and have had no problems whatsoever.

6. #6Earth

   Keys: earth, earther, earthers

   The planet where all of humanity originated from. Unfortunately, Earth started to go to shit around 2100, and when the moon was successfully terraformed in 2105, a significant portion of humanity decided to leave and form civilizations on there. As Venus, Mars, and Europa got terraformed, more and more people began to leave Earth as conditions worsened.

   These days Earth is seen as long past it's golden age, and it's denigrated beyond belief. Although there are still people living there, all countries that were on Earth no longer exist and the planet as a whole has become a lawless wasteland regardless where you live. The weather is brutal and depending on where one lives, a person can be expected to deal with a mixture of acid rain, violent dust storms, volcanic eruptions, floods, and much more.

   Not only that, but there are violent gangs who rule various parts of the planet who have no qualms with using violence to get what they what. Most people on Earth carry weapons with them at all times even as children to keep themselves safe.

   People from Earth are referred to as Earthers. While some Earthers do end up leaving Earth for other galactic bodies, most Earthers stay on Earth their whole lives due to a mixture of lacking opportunities to leave the planet and a general sense of pride that they didn't run away to other galactic bodies when things got difficult.

   Earthers who do leave Earth for other galactic bodies are generally subjected to discrimination by the societies they move to due to most people viewing Earthers as stupid due to their lack of understanding of modern day technology, lack of knowledge regarding the great debate between Technocrats and Naturists, and struggles with modern technology. Furthermore, the average Earther is rather short, making them even easier to victimize.

7. #7The Moon

   Keys: moon, the moon, moonian, moonians

   The Moon was the first galactic body to be successfully terraformed. in 2105, the Moon was officially made livable for humans and many humans left Earth to go start civilizations on the Moon. While the Moon and the various nations on it were doing well for a while, a massive political war broke out between early Technocrats and early Naturists in 2200. While this war was short and only ended one year later in 2201, the winning Technocrat forces were not merciful to the losing Naturists and decided to punish them by forcing them to live in asteroid belt space colonies for the rest of their lives.

   This decision upset a lot of people, but because nations on the Moon had now become far more authoritarian, people couldn't speak up about their disgust for these actions. Needless to say, when Venus was terraformed in 2250, many disgruntled Moonians left for Venus. Overtime, nations on the Moon have softened on their authoritarian views and most current day Moonians consider the actions their governments took in 2201 to be regretful. That said, there is a small minority of Moonians who think their governments did nothing wrong.

   People from the Moon are referred to as Moonians. While the average modern day Moonian no longer supports authoritarian government, the average Moonian still tends to have a strict and rigorous upbringing. This leads to a general stereotype of Moonians being seen as humorless and strict. Furthermore, because the winning faction on the Moon was that of Technocrats, most Moonians tend to identify ideologically with Technocrats, but since it's no longer illegal to have Naturist views, there has been a growing movement of Naturists on the Moon.

8. #8Belter Colonies

   Keys: asteroid belt space colonies, asteroid belt colonies, belter colonies, colony, space colony, belter, belters

   In 2201 losing Naturist factions in the war on the Moon were punished by the new Technocrat leaders of the Moon by being forced to spend the rest of their lives in asteroid belt space colonies and work to mine asteroids for resources for the Moon. The people living on these colonies soon became colloquially referred to as Belters.

   After Venus was terraformed in 2250 and Moonians began to form their own societies on Venus, some nations on Venus found it convenient to punish certain criminals by sending them to live in Belter colonies of their own to help with mining resources from asteroids as well. And when Mars became terraformed in 2300, Martian nations also found a use in sending criminals to live in their own Belter colonies.

   Once the criminals on the Belter colonies began having families and enough people had been born and raised on Belter colonies, Belters began to feel a desire to identify as their own people unrelated to their galactic bodies of origin. However, the main issue with this is that outside of mining resources from asteroids, Belter colonies really don't have much of an economy and have to rely on their galactic bodies of origin to help keep their colonies running in space. So as a result, the Belter colonies decided to stay as colonies of their galactic bodies of origin, but still identify themselves as their own Belter identity rather than as a Moonian, Venusian, or Martian.

   Ultimately, sending criminals to asteroid belt colonies became an increasingly unpopular practice and galactic bodies stopped sending their criminals to them by 2400 shortly after Europa was terraformed. While criminals are no longer sent to Belter colonies, Belter colonies still exist as societies thanks to all of the generations of people who had been born and raised in them, and the fact that they provide economic uses due to mining asteroids from asteroid belts. Due to the majority of Belter economies coming from mining, Belter colonies tend to be very masculine in their cultures, with both men and women being very masculine in how they behave and look.

9. #9Venus

   Keys: venus, venusians, venusian

   Venus is the second planet of the Solar System and was the second galactic body to be successfully terraformed in 2250. The first people to leave for Venus were disgruntled Moonians who had become disgusted with the authoritarian nature of Moonain governments. Not only that, but these Moonians also had Naturist sympathies and wanted their own nations free of Technocrat rule.

   Unfortunately, the first Venusians did not learn the right lessons from the actions of the Technocrats on the Moon and ultimately their nations began to engage in the same authoritarianism but from a Naturist ideology. This lead to much bloodshed and conflict. People who criticized their governments were sent to live in Belter colonies as punishment or publicly killed. Some nations were so severe about their anti-Technocrat ideology that even minor body modifications such as earrings were banned and severe punishments were given out to people who broke these laws.

   By the time Mars was terraformed in 2300, many Venusians left for Mars in the hopes of avoiding persecution. This massive decrease in population is what finally caused the ruling governments of Venusian nations to crumble away from authoritarian Naturist ideology. Nowadays, the average Venusian, while generally Naturist leaning in ideology, is not as rabidly anti-technology as the Venusians of the past were and they reject authoritarianism. In fact, there is even a small movement of Technocrat Venusians on the planet. When discussing their history, Venusians always make sure to emphasize how all human beings are capable of committing the same evil regardless of ideology.

   People from Venus are referred to as Venusians. The average Venusian tends to be stereotyped as relaxed, if somewhat lazy. This isn't necessarily the case, it's just that Venusians tend to have less strict work schedules and reject strict parenting. But they still do believe in working hard and raising children properly.

10. #10Mars

    Keys: mars, martians, martian

    The planet Mars was successfully terraformed in 2300 and the first people to move their where Venusians desperate to escape their governments. Wanting to avoid the same mistakes of the Moon and Venus, the earliest Martians made it a rule that their nations would not force Technocrat nor Naturist ideologies on their people and would simply let elections and the people speak for themselves.

    Because there was a desire to appeal to both Technocrats and Naturists, the nations on Mars were able to build good relations with both the Moon and Venus and managed to garner strong economies for their nations. However, it was difficult for Mars to build the population of it's nations on the planet. While other galactic bodies were fine with trading with Mars, most people weren't interested in moving to Mars beyond the first set of humans who moved there, which caused struggles with the nations of Mars when it came to increasing their populations.

    Things only got worse for Mars when Europa was terraformed in 2400. Because animals had formed with the terraforming of Europa, this caused people from galactic bodies all over (including people from Mars) to immigrant to Europa in droves, leading to people ignoring Mars more often than not. This caused Mars to go through an economic crisis and throughout the 2500s and 2600s, Mars was seen in as much of a negative light as Earth as poverty and crime increased dramatically.

    By 2700, Mars did manage to improve it's living standards, and has become much more livable. The governments started punishing criminals better and helping struggling families with earning money. Furthermore, more people began to move to Mars as it was far cheaper to live on Mars compared to other galactic bodies, which caused Mars' reputation to go back up among people in the galaxy.

    Today, Mars is doing quite well for itself, although a lot of the population tends to be resentful and jealous of Europa. Regardless of that jealousy, it's not uncommon for the average Martian to move to Europa (even if moving to Europa is seen as a shameful thing for the average Martian).

    People from Mars are referred to as Martians. Due to their history of struggle, Martians are stereotyped as tough and resilient people. They're also stereotyped as being endlessly bitter about Europa's popularity, but that's less of a stereotype and more of a truth.

11. #11Europa

    Keys: europa, europans, europan

    The moon Europa was the final galactic body to be successfully terraformed in 2400. While Mars and it's nations had been successful in their societies and were being seen as a potential "new Earth", that all changed with Europa. Being much larger than Mars, and being the first terraformed galactic body to have animals develop from the terraforming, people were entranced by Europa and most people from all galactic bodies (even Earth) wanted to live on Europa. This caused Europa to see a massive increase in population, and before long, Europa had the strongest economy of all the galactic bodies.

    Europa considers itself both a galactic body and a single nation. With the largest population of the galactic bodies and the best economy, Europa is generally considered to be a true success story in terms of space colonization. However, the government of Europa is quite corrupt, and since Europa constitutes both a galactic body and a full nation (although there are small city states that claim to not be a part of the Europan government), there are issues of Europa being run by a single Uniparty that only cares about pandering to potential voters, taking bribes from companies, engaging in crony capitalism and unfairly punishing people who try to call out the corruption.

    People from Europa are called Europans. The average Europan isn't naïve and is more than well aware of Europa's political corruption, but they ultimately still view Europa as better to live compared to the other galactic bodies. Whether they're correct in that assumption is ultimately up to personal interpretation.

12. #12Europa Apartments

    Keys: europa apartments, apartments, apartment

    The Europa Apartments are located near the capital of Europa. The building containing the Europa Apartments is huge and can house about 800,000 tenants and is the size of a small city. Indeed, it would be more accurate to refer to the Europa Apartments as an indoor city rather than an actual apartment block.

    The idea for the Europa Apartments was started in 2770, when a Europan politician who was inspired by Belter colonies was interested in building an indoor city near the capital. It took until 2795 for the apartments to finish building, and after many business contracts and deals were signed, the apartments were officially opened on 2798. While the project has been controversial among the people of Europa who don't see the point of it, the apartments have been building a fairly decent economy for it's people. Furthermore, it's already managed to build a decent population thanks to a legal clause that allows easy immigration from other galactic bodies (including Earth) into the Apartments. That said, they've only been open for seven years and only time will tell if the apartments continue to do well.

    All apartments in the Europa Apartments come equipped with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one kitchen, one living room, and an outdoors balcony. Students attending school between the ages of 15-18 are allowed to live in their own apartments separate from their parents if they desire to.

    Outside of the apartments lines the ground floor which consists of the main city of the apartments. The ground floor is grand and filled with all the stores and buildings you'd expect of any city. There are even certain outdoors areas of the ground floor that aren't roofed that allow for tenants to engage in outdoor activities.

13. #13Immigration

    Keys: immigrants, immigrant

    The Europa Apartments have a legal clause that allows for easy immigration into Europa via becoming a tenant. Essentially, anyone from any galactic body can come live in Europa for free if they're willing to be a tenant at the apartments and haven't committed any serious crimes such as murder or rape. This means that there is a pretty notable population of people from other galactic bodies in the Europa Apartments. That said, native Europans still make up the vast majority of people who live at the apartments. Furthermore, if an immigrant does end up committing a serious crime, they will be sent back to their home galactic body with no exceptions.

14. #14Education

    Keys: education, elementary school, middle school, high school, school, schools, grade, grader, apprenticeship

    Education has morphed quite greatly over the centuries. Starting with elementary school which lasts for five years and children start attending at age 6. Most students began middle school at age 11 and middle school lasts for four years. Finally, usually at the age of 15, students will began attending high school which lasts for three years before graduating. Secondary educational institutions such as colleges and universities no longer exist and when it comes to careers that required college degrees in the past (such as being a doctor or a lawyer), high school graduates will instead sign up for apprenticeships for those jobs.

    General terminonlogy for school years are as follows:

    Elementary school: 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade

    Middle School: 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade

    High School: 10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade.

15. #15Apprenticeship

    Keys: apprentice, apprenticeship

    When it comes to certain careers that used to require college degrees back in the past (such as being a doctor or a lawyer), nowadays any high school graduate whose interested in careers like those can choose to join an apprenticeship and become an apprentice to specific work places. When someone becomes an apprentice, they will generally start with low level jobs and be required to have a higher level apprentice watch over them. Once the apprentice has learned and honed certain skills, more opportunities in the career field they've chosen will become available, and they won't need to be watched over anymore. It usually takes the average person about 2-5 years to go through a typical apprenticeship in their career of choice.

16. #16Currency

    Keys: currency, money, acecoin, aces, ace, coins, coin

    All currency in 2805 is digital. The main form of currency is known as AceCoin and is used on all galactic bodies for convenience. Most people refer to AceCoin with the more informal terms "aces" and "coins". Since AceCoin is digital, all people carry an AceCoin card that they use to purchase and sell items, and to access their money online. While economies can vary all over the galaxy, the general price range for AceCoin is as follows:

    Less than 100 AceCoins = Extremely low amount of money. Very rarely are there any items cheap enough to cost less then at least AceCoins. Even a homeless person would be embarrassed to have this little coin.

    100 - 999 AceCoins = Very Low amount of money. It can get you a cheap toy or meal, but that's about it.

    1,000 - 9,999 AceCoins = Low amount of money. The kind of money that lower class households have.

    10,000 - 99,999 AceCoins = Moderate amount of money. The kind of money that middle class households have.

    100,000 - 999,999 AceCoins = High amount of money. The kind of money that upper class households have.

    1,000,000 - 9,999,999 AceCoins = Very high amount of money. The kind of money that the wealthiest people have.

17. #17Bodysuits

    Keys: bodysuit, bodysuits

    The modern bodysuit came about around the year 2500. While most people don't wear them, they're quite popular among people who work in jobs that would've been considered "blue collar jobs" back on ancient Earth (jobs such as mechanics, plumbers, and so on). Some companies even have their employees wear bodysuits as their uniform. Bodysuits are also popular with people who spend a lot of time outdoors due to their temperature regulation features.

    Bodysuits cover the entire body, and fit snugly, making the use of underwear completely unnecessary. Bodysuits can be opened and closed via two miniature carabiners. One on the top of the person's back that's for general dressing/undressing, and another at the crotch area that allows the person wearing the bodysuit to use the toilet without having to remove the entire bodysuit. Bodysuits come in a variety of colors, but since most bodysuits are work uniforms, they tend to come in single colors. Bodysuits come with temperature regulation features that the wearer can adjust depending on the weather outside for personal comfort.

    It's important to note that in order to accommodate the different bodies of the two sexes, male and female bodysuits are built somewhat differently.

    Female bodysuits have adjustable chest areas in order to accommodate various breast sizes, they also have a tube connected to a plastic bag that is meant to go up in the female wearer's vagina when she's menstruating, and when the plastic bag is full, the female wearer will have to replace it with another one. Generally speaking, these plastic bags only need to be replaced once per menstrual cycle.

    Male bodysuits have extra padding in the crotch area in order to provide extra cushioning for the penis and testicles. Furthermore, male bodysuits come with blood monitors that will spray the male wearer's body with an anaphrodisiac spray in order to prevent erections.

18. #18Average Europan

    Keys: europan, europans

    Because Europa is the galactic body that ultimately became the new Earth, the average Europan can talk about other galactic bodies in a way that can come off as arrogant and rub people the wrong way. The average Europan is also pretty cynical about their government, and they tend to look down on people who want to get into politics because of that. Because of the high amount of immigration from other galactic bodies, Europans also tend to view themselves as more cultured and educated compared to other galactic bodies.
