2000-2099: The Contemporary Era 
 
 The 21st Century is now regarded by historians to have been the make-or-break era for humanity. The 2010's were plagued with soured diplomatic relations all across the globe, taking the world back into a new cold war, especially after the resources economy collapsed. A terrorist attack in early 2015 stirred the public, and more freedom-restricting laws came into place. The 2020's were full of proxy wars in the Middle East between American-backed and Russian-backed extremist groups. 2035 proved to be a remarkable year in human achievement. The first humans stepped on Mars, a New World Convention was created to unite most of the nations of the world under a central government, and Australian Scientists discovered the cure for most types of cancer. On August 27 2045, the singularity occurred. Technology reached the point of exponential growth, aided by quantum supercomputers. The 2050's almost undone the past 200 years of humanity, when the International Civil War broke out. Resources were running dry. The populace of the planet had become sick of the increasingly far left International Government taking advantage of the singularity. The people took over, and once again, the world was divided. India and Australia were now the world superpowers ( manpower and resources, respectively ). America's economy had gone the way of Greece, and was eventually split between North and South. The 2060's was one of the darkest eras the world had seen. Despite new technology, a super virus spread amongst the war-stricken parts of the world. The population dropped from 9.1 billion, down to 5 billion. People who tried to flee the virus ended up carrying it with them, making the situation worse. In 2070, the world started to get back on it's feet, with the International Mumbai Convention, where 153 sovereign states signed a declaration of unity, to help end the crisis. The 2080's brought a new wave of fashion and entertainment back to the world - something which had not been seen since the mid-late 2010's. In 2091, the International Quantum Hypercomputer finished the first complete mapping of the human brain and it's workings. It then went on to simulate a mind. This technology helped to develop the first computer-augmented humans a couple of years later, where minds were engraved into mechanised copies of a respective person's body, where they would go on to live, theoretically, forever, free of disease and aging.
