* This will be a slow sort of RP, two or three posts per week, and they should be around three paragraphs each but I'll accept two. Give or take. *

Earth, Caprocia, Rush and Space
History:
The outbreak of WWIII was nothing unexpected, however it did surprise the world that it happened in 2054 and not earlier. The governments and leadership around the world had done well in diffusing small conflicts and treated rising unhappiness. But they were only delaying the inevitable for humanity as it was currently. A band aid on an internal wound that would bleed as long as the source was ignored. This war claimed many lives, all across the world, and considering technological advancement since WWII people were ashamed that the casualties and wounded were on par with previous world wars.
For all the development to avoid civilian death, it occurred none the less.
Three years before the end of WWIII, scientists in Germany made a breakthrough. The development of cold fusion. Allowing clean cheap energy to be produced for the world was a god send. However, the technology required to sustain a reaction was kept very secret by the UN who had been forming a 'United Alliance' for years. Their purpose was to unite countries who were serious about a peaceful world. And only nations who signed over their military assets for the 'protection of all United Alliance countries' were put onto the specially installed inter-continental grid.
United Alliance countries made good use of this new power, cities around the world began to develop, rising higher to account for rising populations. They produced Sustainable Production Towers, these covered ten city blocks and were one hundred stories high. Under them water was stored in large man made reservoirs. Some levels were dedicated to food production, housing just crops, or pastures with animals. It removed the weather from the equation, and increased efficiency of everything. People no longer had to farm hundreds of acres, now cities could grow their own food on site. Some levels produced clothing, medical supplies, and very little was produced on paper anymore. Genetic engineering helped speed up food production, and with land now free to build residential buildings humanity boomed with little draw backs.
Countries who didn't relinquish their military and governing might were left in the dark so to speak, and whilst over the next twenty or thirty years the air above the United Alliance became clean due to purification towers and man made carbon sink towers, the air over the 'developing' countries was turning thick and causing rising medical problems as they consumed dirty fossil fuels for power. In 2090, the United Alliance now comprised of 60% of the worlds countries voted to "Free Non-Alliance civilians from their Leadership" and began to sweep neighboring Non-Alliance nations to forcefully remove power.
War raged on for another ten years before all seemed to be lost of the Non-Alliance, now united by a common cause, to remain free and Independent. They were called the United Independent Nations. In 2101 the leadership of the UIN decided that fighting using standard weapons and human lives would not help them prevail, and so, in June they launched a wide scale attack using Nuclear Weapons on the UA.
At the beginning of 2101, the worlds population had peaked at 12 billion. And it is estimated that three billion UA died in the attack, which targeted the major centers of population growth in the UA territory. China, Russia, Europe, Britain, USA were targets, as well as smaller UA territories in Africa, South America and India. However, more died in the retaliation attacks, which were carried out with brutal punishing blows by the UA who had been building much larger nuclear weapons and could strike every single country not on their list. Six billion UIN lives were lost either directly or from radiation storms that swept the land for months following the attack.
By the end, when the world seemed silent in comparison to before, only three billion people remained. Large expanses of Earth were uninhabitable, and the UA finally prevailed as victor. Those UIN countries who managed to survive soon surrendered, or were wiped out. The world seemed to calm down, each country rebuilding.
Whilst all of this was happening, man was well and truly exploring the extensive regions of our solar system, and had advanced enough to visit other neighboring solar systems. Hoping to find other alternatives to living on Earth.
Mans Domain in the Galaxy:
Although no real planets capable of human life existed in our Solar System, Mars had been a colony since the beginning of WWIII. But the colonists were few, and lived inside fully airtight structures. More akin to living on the International Space Stations than a planet. Atmosphere on Mars would take far too long to alter for human breathing, but it was stable enough to begin colonization. Beyond our solar system, two planets were found that would support human life.
Caprocia, although almost entirely an ice planet due to the smaller size of it's sun, had breathable atmosphere and water resources. However, the length of time to travel between Earth and Caprocia required faster than light travel, luckily developed before the Nuclear War. One hundred thousand people lived on the ice planet, a science and engineering team in 2090. And soon after colonization the UA planned for full scale development of the planet. Using artificial heating tapped into the geothermal core of the planet and by purposely increasing the worlds green house effect they increased the planets temperature.
By the time of the Nuclear War, the temperature had risen, and the glacial ices recessed. Unfortunately the geology of the planet was much different to Earths, and under the ice black hard rock covered the ground. With lack of volcanic activity due to such a stable tectonic system the planet lacked much top soil, and the lack of melting ice in the eons before had preserved the surface. But the UA used similar Sustainable Production Towers as they did on Earth, and crushed the black rock and used biological cultures to create a decent grade of top soil. For now, they had self sufficient power, water and food. And so, in 2103 four galactic carriers were produced capable of sustaining a million lives each. And the population of the new Earth planet boomed from 100,000 to 100,100,000 as one ship landed in late 2105.
At the same time that this million moved to Caprocia, another planet was receiving many more lived. Three million immigrants arrived on Rush, an almost perfect planet in another solar system. It's weather was more turbulent, as was it's volcanic activity and tectonics, but it was almost exactly earths temperature and replicated it's environments and atmosphere.
Earth now had two settlements in the neighboring solar systems, as well as a surviving population on Earth. But the UA identified the importance of not putting all their eggs in one basket.
It is now 2170, and the population of Caprocia has reached four million, and Rush now supports nine million people. They are developing nicely.
Cities:
Four large Sustainable Production Towers can be seen towering over the outlining fringes of each city. Large skyscrapers twice the size as 21st Century Earth's stand even taller. Cars are rarely used, and instead VTOL aircraft are the paid transport option. A vast monorail system delivers people from tower to tower, and nobody unless outside of the cities owns a lone standing house. Each family home is decided on the number of people living under the roof, and families often move out when a child is born for an upgrade.
The ground level streets have been preserved with artificial lighting to be parkland, and sporting arena.
Life starts out communist almost, with each person getting given a share of the UA budget, a house, and a job. Of course, if you work harder you keep the increased wage you make. Fair is fair. If you save money instead of spending it, you can ask for a housing upgrade on retirement. And you can spend your wage on anything you want.
But for starters, you have a clean slate, you make of it what you are willing to work for.
Each residential building has a large mall on it's central floors. This is where the inhabitants can buy there reasonably priced food, clothing, sporting goods, electrical appliances and home decorations. They centralized for more efficient shopping and restocking.
On the top floor of each residential building is a medical bay, with heliports available for serious evacuations. And on every thirty levels is a security office.
A central building, twice as large as the others stands in the center of the city. Office buildings, schools, the hospital, library and any other non-residential hub can be located here. Including the central security agency.
We now use VTOL aircraft as taxi's, fast speed monorails for the subway, holographic computers, fully integrated housing to our PDA's and weapons are illegal unless licensed. All buildings have weapon and narcotics scanners in the elevators and stairwells. Crime is at an all time low.
But the underground, and the countryside is where you will find crime. Even in Eden, people manage to have fun.
