2020s- Soviet-Indian Wars | '''2020s- Soviet-Indian Wars''' | ||
*Soviets make a deal with the Chinese to invade India. China would invade India, and the USSR would back the, giving them Soviet troops and resources. The United States and the European Federation intervened and prevented them from taking southern India. Southern India was protected, while central India was filled with two American and one European controlled buffer states. China split northern India in half, the east to them and the west to the Soviets. During this war, the US was also able to invade North Korea after they had attacked South Korea. After defeating them, they united the two into Korea. | *Soviets make a deal with the Chinese to invade India.

*'''Nuclear Technology'''- When nuclear technology was first developed, Minston and Tinyeil performed an atom-bomb test in Eastern Arthane in 1730. Three months later, after seeing what devastation it could cause, every country signed the Atom Offence Agreement, agreeing that it would never be used for evil. Though nuclear technology would later be used for power and rockets, it would no longer be used for weapons. | |||
'''Computers'''- On Raythe, radio, tv, and computers were not 3 separate devices, but all one. Radio technology was first developed in 1621 and was a popular form of entertainment known as a Radioner, until 1637, when a new model of radio came out, this time with a video screen. it was a radio-tv hybrid. When you tuned into a frequency, the audio and video of the show would appear. Some stations, such as all music stations, did not update to this new format, and instead had a still image representing the station, or no image at all. Around the 1710s, early computer technology was being developed. At first, they had large room sized computers like us, but when it got to the age of Home Computers in the 1760s, they became integrated with the Radioner. The table model of the Radioner added a switch that toggles between the tv-radio mode and the computer mode. In the 1770s, computers with GUIs were introduced with a trackball attached to the keyboard. They were later changed into a mouse like device in the late 1770s. Even though there are the mixed-medium sized models, by the 1660s, there are large and small models that more focus on the TV and radio functionalities. | |||
'''Doveres''' | |||
*Varo-Minn Wall- A wall set up by Minson between the mountain range and sea, to protect Doveres from Verrian invaders in the BD100s. | |||
*Entente Tower - Built in the AD950s, the Entente Tower was a very tall watchtower to watch for sneak attacks by Verrian and Paurian troops. It’s tall enough to see through the mountain pass. | |||
*Bae District- The government district, where the Minston capital and such is at. | |||
*Inne District- Commercial district, similar to NYC | |||
*Ohauld District- Factories, businesses, apartments, homes, parks, airdocks, etc. | |||
*Tonin Strip- Like Times Square, biggest companies, stores, etc. | |||
*Suburbs/Farmland- Outskirts of city, entering rural Minston | |||
'''Phone numbers'''- On Raythe, phone numbers are structured into three or four parts. Country index, region category, a 5-digit personal number, and possibly an extension code, and you push the dial button to complete it. | |||
|01-12|42398 “01” Minston, “12” Varia, “42398” personal number | |||
|03-01|97517 “03” Tinyeil, “01” Capital Province, “97517” personal number | |||
These numbers can work for 99,999 people per province. When all numbers are exhausted, an extension number is added at the end for each “round” | |||
|01-05|21946+1 “01” Minston, “05” N Paliant, “21946” personal number, “+1” first re-round | |||
|01-10|19429+24 “01” Minston, “10” Vereo, 19429” personal number, “+24” 24th re-round | |||
|02-02|15038 “02” Ferrudon, “02” Tetruon, 15038 personal number, no re-round | |||
At first, each number needed to be wound, but as phones became streamlined, they added country/province selectors that dial these parts for you. Little cards are manufactured listing the codes with a flag. Eventually, flag symbols are added and province lists. | |||
You can keep a region-code number in the selector if you always call the same country or region. | |||
'''Political Parties''' | |||
*Federal Party- focuses on controlling the population. Has bits of a monarchy and fascism. | |||
*Republican Party- trying to move the Federation to be more a Republic. Wants a more democratic system. | |||
*Socialist Party- for the people, focusing on social issues and rights. Extremists involved in social terrorism. | |||
The three political parties have been fighting for control of the government since the late AD1300s. Before then, Minston was still ruled completely by a monarchy. A new government was established in 1367, still having the crown hold most of the power, but adding two “democratic” systems below it. The systems had a large amount of control in the government, but can be overruled by the king/queen. Throughout the years, legislation was passed limiting the monarch power. | |||
*NPS - National Pneumatic Service (Pneumatic tube infrastructure) | |||
*Ancient astronomers referred to space as The Void | |||
