Wildcard:Changes

The most notable things you should know about the Wildcard universe are these points:

- Internet - at least all parts of it even vaguely entertaining as opposed to purely functional - has become immersive virtual reality.

- Europe has merged into a single country and has become the most important economic and political force along with China.

- A nation called Dark Arcadia sits in the Atlantic ocean as an artificial island, claiming meritocracy, frequently accused of being a dictatorship, loathed by the majority of people for declining to sign human rights treaties. (That means you really shouldn't have your character think otherwise unless you have a very good reason. This is a major source of prejudice in the world of Crimson Feather. If you sympathise with Dark Arcadia, chances are you're an outcast yourself. A proper outcast, okay? Okay.)

- After Europe and China, Japan, India and the US are the major global players, with India having increased in importance and the other two having dropped.

(The rest of the world is pretty much the same as it is today, unless we decide otherwise at some point.)
