Response
from Public Data Server to Query: The Decline and Fall of the Roman
Catholic Church
The
Roman Catholic Church declined during the mid-Second Golden Age, due
to a general turning away from religiosity following the end of the
Long Night, stabilizing at a congregation of approximately 400
million.
However,
during the reawakening of TYRANT, the majority of the Church's
congregation and clergy were killed on Earth. The few Catholic
priests outside the Earth-Moon system found themselves without a
political or financial support structure, but continued to serve
their flock as best they could, establishing a new papacy on Mars.
However, the church was never more then an extreme minority. They
suffered severe repression during the anti-religious pogroms of the
late 4,200s, and the papacy itself was destroyed during the nuclear
wars of the early 4,300s. Although scattered references to fugitive
Catholic clergy continue into the 4,400s, the papacy was never
refounded, and it is believed the last ordained Catholic priest died
some time around 4,450 AD.

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Habitation of North America after
the Long Night
North
America suffered heavy casualties during the Last War from nuclear
attack, but was not directly targeted with bioweapons. At the
beginning of the Long Night, the surviving population was estimated
at 30 million, increasing to 50 million by the time of the signing of
the Unification Treaty. During the Second Golden Age, North America
became a major center of agricultural production, the primary
supplier of foodstuffs to the South American urban zones. Although
it never regained its former prominence in world affairs, by the end
of the Second Golden Age the population had returned to and
stabilized at its previous heights.

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Regional cultures of the Second
Golden Age
The
UN made extensive efforts to combat regionalism during the Second
Golden Age, with considerable success. However, some regional
cultures continued to exist, primarily in latent form, most notably
the former South American Treaty Zone, the former South African
Technate, the culture of the Indian subcontinent, and the Iranian
cultural grouping.
Reminder:
Group separatism is a level five memetic hazard. If you feel
inclined to separatism, consult a qualified psychoneurologist for
assistance. Only through unity can we survive.

Long Night

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Habitation of China after the Long
Night
China
suffered heavy casualties from both nuclear and biological attack
during the Last War, and most of the country was rendered effectively
uninhabitable by persistent bioweapons. The UN began cleanup
efforts in 2501 AD, but these remained largely pro forma until
the passage of the Asian Continent Remediation Act in 2623 AD.
Cleanup was not fully completed until around 2800 AD. The region
never recovered its former population, and most of the former country
of China was made a wilderness preserve in a series of acts in the
mid-2900s.

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Habitation of Europe after the Long
Night
Europe
largely escaped direct nuclear attack during the Last War; however,
the continent suffered heavy casualties from Blue Death and other
biological weapons that spilled over from east Asia. However, few
persistent bioweapons reached the continent, and the population had
reorganized into state-entities and begun to reindustrialize by the
end of the Long Night. Europe remained a secondary population
center into the Second Golden Age, stabilizing at a population of
around 500 million.

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Technological advancement in
NorAmTech
NorAmTech
achieved relatively few transformative advances in technology, but
succeeded in making economically viable a number of technologies that
already existed, but had previously been uneconomical. These
included: deep oceanic mining; battery-powered surface vehicles;
gas-cooled fission breeder reactors; computerized economic planning;
defensive laser weapons.

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Emergence of new scientific fields
in NorAmTech
Little
to no scientific advancement took place in NorAmTech, with the
partial exception of some work in human biology and neurology,
largely mirroring and supplementing work done in India and the
Democratic Republic of China. Despite strongly supportive public
rhetoric, almost all NorAmTech investment in research and development
was focused exclusively on technology and engineering. In addition,
the American physics community was badly damaged after several
high-profile physicists defected to the Democratic Republic of China,
leading to a purge of the field that saw many of its most talented
practitioners fired, imprisoned, or forced into exile.
Response
from HIEROPHANT Data Server to Query: Examples from TOTALITY with
human-analogous thought processes
This
question has been interpreted based on previous query submissions as:
“Examples of intelligent non-human species with human-analogous
thought processes”.
The
only known intelligent non-human species with human-analogous thought
processes are the Reticulans.
Response
from HIEROPHANT Data Server to Query: Patronage of DEACONESS
DEACONESS
is not a whitelisted veneration subject. DEACONESS was proposed for
addition to the whitelist during the Grand Council of 12,781 AD, but
the proposal was rejected due to inadequate intelligence on the
entity.
Documentary
intelligence sources indicate the alien species GARGOYLE may venerate
DEACONESS. Attempts to confirm this intelligence have so far been
unsuccessful.
Response
from HIEROPHANT Data Server to Query: Timeframe until astrological
conditions next render TYRANT inactive, presuming no interference by
intelligent entities.
At
this time, no concrete projection of this timeframe is possible.
According to documentary and archeological intelligence sources, the
previous period of TYRANT activity exceeded ten million years in
duration. However, it is not known if this time span is typical, or
if TYRANT was active for the entire period or intermittently.
Monitoring of TYRANT between 5,145 AD and 14,051 AD showed no
indications of variation in scalar wave emissions.

standard Republic historical curriculum:
Jason
Hale: Last President of the
United States of America (2040-2046) and first Chief Administrator of
the North American Technate (2046-2047). Known as a charismatic and
able politician; oversaw the implementation of technocratic policies
in the 2040's. Assassinated by a renegade intelligence officer in
2047.
Mario
Barreiro: Leader of the
Technocratic Party (2040-2077). Chief ideologist and supreme
authority under Technocratic Party constitution, but remained largely
behind the scenes.
Aurelia
Morales: Last Vice President of
the United States of America (2044-2046), first Vice Administrator of
the North American Technate (2046-2047), and second Chief

Response
from Public Data Server to Query: Uplift of animals
The
technology to genetically-engineer sapient animals has existed since
the mid Second Golden Age. However, except for isolated incidents,
it has not been employed. After an incident during the Second
Golden Age, in which the intelligence of several animals was
augmented as part of an art project, all intelligence augmentation of
non-sapients was placed under strict regulation by the United
Nations, which resulted in a de facto ban of the technology.
Since then, there are no records of uplifted animals being created.
Response
from HIEROPHANT Data Server to Query: Travel time to closest Dark
Republic extra-solar colony from Sol
Approximately
thirty years depending on travel profile.
Response
from HIEROPHANT Data Server to Query: Faster-than-light
communications
There
are numerous claims of faster-then-light communications in known
DocInt and other sources. All methods that have been directly
investigated have proved to pose risks analogous to POISON GATE
operational mathematics, and it is the considered opinion of the
Faster-then-Light SciTech Committee that the underlying mathematics
of these techniques are almost certainly isomorphic to POISON GATE.
Other reports are not amenable to investigation and are considered
probably fictitious.
