Here you can learn about the late 21st century world.

The '48 Crash and Australia.

In 2048 the Pacific Ring Of Fire shifted, creating the largest earthquake and tsunami the world had ever seen, which spark a single moment known as the '48 Crash. The tsunami that hit the Australian coast swept away untold millions, and the northern hemisphere grew silent. Australia recovered, through a mixture of luck and hard yak, and by 2099 parts of it resemble pre-Crash society. Some things, however, never change.

Technology in 2099

After the great decentralisation program of the '20s and '30s, a solid foundation was laid for manufacturing and agriculture, safely tucked behind the Great Dividing Range, immune to the coming tsunami. The crash however did shoot a bloody great hole through our energy imports, and so over the 50 years since the disaster, Australia has adapted to a mix of bio fuels and solar power. Coal is used for manufacturing and not for producing electricity. The rail network is put to good use. Trains running on bio diesel are used to transport goods and people across the country. Their are landlines, but keeping networks and cellular communication going has been a little more patchy.
