And I am here again *waves*. Opinions on the human timeline so far?
Timeline updated. Fear what I shall do to humanities future!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFg7esxnrXs
Right so I am writing up human history. I am not sure what the current date of the RP is concerning human history, so I am just going to throw around the century as 27th or 28th to give humanity some time to actually expand and populate planets far away from Earth.

WARNING: The timeline I am making is ultra!grimdark, mostly to justify the current state of humanities original worlds (That is, under a robot empire)
The 21st century: (Vlad Tepes smiles at the suffering of humanity!)
Note: This is a beta version.
---21st century: (Nickname: The Apocalyptic Era)
-2017 CE: Eurasian Union formed
-2028 CE: India surpasses China's population. Mass Apophis-related suicide's happen globally
-2029 CE: The Apophis Asteroid narrowly misses Earth, alarming goverments and the scientific community, who believed it would easily miss Earth.
-2034 CE: First man on Mars
-2035 CE: First Mars colony is a failure, all lives lost.
-2039 CE: Both government and corporate interest in space declines sharply as corporations decide the costs for space exploitation are far greater than possible future gains. China stubbornly continue's its space program however loses interests when its economic stability begins deteriorating, losing its ability to realistically fund its ambitions on the moon.
-2041 CE: Global warming's effects begin seriously hitting Earth, and the environment has now worsened beyond repair.
-2043 CE: World population reaches 7.4 billion
-2044 CE: Japan becomes the worlds central producer of civil robotics, the nation itself now with at least three robots in every home on average.
-2051 CE: South East Asian rice famine, global food prices skyrocket.
-2050 CE: Japan's population since 2014 has decreased by over 20 million people. The Japanese Government begins ennacting 'baby boomer' government benefits. the Eurasian Union follows suit shortly after.
-2054 CE: The Economic Union Cold War begins.
-2055 CE: AI has reached dog level intelligence.
-2057 CE: Europeans in the European Union become a minority, ethnic violence, street clashes, civil unrest and state attempts to enforce immigration control arise.
-2062 CE: World population reaches 7.5 billion
-2066 CE: The Petroleum Crisis begins.
-2072 CE: Peak Oil is reached, world enters global crisis.
-2075 CE: Middle Eastern Wars.
-2076 CE: The United States of America is dissolved and reformed into the North American Economic Union (NAEU). The Second American Civil War begins and ends in the same year, with rebels crushed within a few months.
-2077 CE: Pakistani-Indian Nuclear War
-2078 CE: World War Three, Middle Eastern nuclear exchange
-2079 CE: Mutual Existential Treaty signed (All major warring powers agree to stop using further thermo-nuclear weapons)
-2080 CE: United Nations dissolves, beginning of the Second Dark Age.
-2083 CE: Significant developments in military robotics, scientific community outraged however are silenced due to wartime powers. Drone infantry and tanks see battle in signficiant numbers and manned aircraft slowly become extinct.
-2088 CE: World War Three ends in a stalemate. Governments of the world highly 'encourage' another baby boom to restart the gutted global economy. The war see's very little gain for any of the warring powers.
-2089 CE: The Economic Union's of the world desperately search for any and all oil sources, starting many wars with smaller powers lying ontop of oil reserves. Alternative energy businesses have a huge rise in interest and profits.
-2093 CE: Scientists warn of an imminent Malthusian Catastrophe, mostly ignored by the rest of the scientific community due to lack of substanstial evidence and recent war killing over a hundred million people.
-2094 CE: The South American Energy Union(SAEU) is formed.
-2099 CE: World population returns to its pre-war state of 7.5 billion in just 21 years.

----22nd Century (Nickname: The Intermidate Era)
-2104 CE: AI reaches monkey level intelligence.
-2105 CE: The civilian robot revolution begins. Due to the last century seeing robots monopolized by the military industrial complex of the world for the third world war, civilian robotics has suffered. With news that robot intelligence has increased, civil society becomes more interested in robots globally (Not just Japan,, which is in fact still under martial law and emergency population growth laws to regain lost population from WW3).
-2107 CE: Anti-robot global protests polarize popular opinion of robots in households.
-2109 CE: Scientists warn of the impending Technological Singularity. This is brushed off like the Malthusian Catastrophe warning. Robotics development, production and innovation skyrockets.
-2110 CE: The focus on robotics leaves developments in bioengineering mostly ignored, and the possibility of true bio-engineered transhuman's become's feasible without any actual civilian interest found. Likewise, the mass protests ignore the transhuman threat to human conservation, focusing solely on robots.
-2113 CE: China annexes what is left of the former Democratic People's Republic of Korea, now a divided collection of warlords leftover from the third world war.
-2115 CE: China annexes what is left of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. it reforms into the East-Asian Prosperity Union(EAPU), following Eurasia, NAEU and the SAEU. Its actions alarm India, who attempts to form an alliance with the NAEU but is ignored.
-2116 CE: the EAPU and India combined are closing in on representing nearly half of the worlds population, now at 7.7 billion despite the decline of population in Japan, Eurasia and the EU.
-2122 CE: Mineral resources of Earth are slowly being depleted. The major economic unions make a deal to divide resource-rich Africa amongst them.
-2130 CE: The Second Scramble for Africa occurs, the NAEU, EAPU, Eurasian Union, European Union(Desperate and near dead), India and even the SAEU form an alliance of convenience to invade all African countries at the same time. The African nations desperately unite under the otherwise powerless African Union.
2131-4 CE: Global protests are silenced. Freedom of movement and speech gradually disappears until the concepts are all but forgotten in most states. Europe and India stand as the remaining worlds democratic governments (The few African democratic nations are not included as they are being annexed)
-2135 CE: Morocco and Tunisia is secured by the EU, Eurasia and its current Egyptian ally move forces into Sudan and Libya, the EAPU uses its influence's in East Africa to simply annex the coastline and then invade. India and the SAEU get marginal gains and soon after leave the alliance of convenience. NAEU lands in South Africa and after a bloody battle moves north. All resources that were not already benefiting the current occupying nations are taken.
-2137 CE: The conventional war during the Second Scramble For Africa ends, the African Union is destroyed and the continent is divided between the major economic unions. Though the vast mineral deposits of Africa deal (in the short term) with the resource crisis, the African people continue a guerrilla war for centuries to come, the fiercest guerrilla campaigns rage on for the first thirty years.
-2138 CE: Unsatisfied with their meagre gains, India and the SAEU form their own alliance.
-2145 CE: The Alliance of Convenience ends when a remarkable reserve of oil is found in Central Asia.
-2146 CE: Publicly to improve relations and friendly trade between the EAPU and NAEU but in actuality to counter Eurasia's claim to the oil, the EAPU and NAEU form a "Trans-Pacific Alliance".
-2147 CE: In the struggle to gain the precious resource, the long-standing Eurasian-EAPU(And previously Chinese) alliance ends.
-2149 CE: Border conflicts are fought between Indian,Eurasian and EAPU forces around the flashpoint.
-2151 CE: Two years since the first border conflict, The Fourth World War begins between the Eurasian Union, NAEU-EAPU Trans-Pacific Alliance and the India-SAEU as a third belligerent. Later nicknamed "That Meaningless Three-Way Resource War"
-2154 CE: After three years of global fighting across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and both of the America's, the warring powers agree to a mutually defined warzone around the flashpoint, designing the conflicts rules after those loosely set during the 20th centuries Korean War.
-2155 CE: Global conflict ends, marking the end of the Fourth World War. the warring powers would remain technically at war over the resource rich area for the next century (marking the beginning of the Economic War Century)
-2157 CE: The Economic War expands, with the warring powers agreeing to add certain small sections of disputed Africa into the area's where they may wage war.
-2159 CE: The Military-Industrial Complex of all Economic Union's enters a near permanent economic boom as this new political atmosphere of managed, business-driven and perpetual war sets in.
-2166 CE: The European Union after struggling so long from internal issues finally collapses. Some parts of Europe reform into their original states while other states are eaten up by the Eurasian Union (Which reforms into the Trans-Eurasian Economic Union, or TEEU).
-2172 CE: Europe is divided between TEEU's and NAEU's sphere's of influence.
-2173 CE: A year after independent Europe's final demise, India reforms into the Near-Orient Economic Sphere(NOES). The last democracy on Earth ends.
-2174 CE: The Fifth World War begins, completely ignored by the general populace of the world(except those being directly affected by it), it is a free-for-all conflict completely controlled and agreed with by all warring Economic Unions over the worlds remaining resources. All Economic Union's are simultaneously allies, trade partners, enemies, trade rivals, at peace and at war. Battles are regulated, death tolls set to remain within what is called "Causality Budgets" and costs and profits are regulated so that all warring factions (Theoretically) gain mutual economic benefit (Though they obviously attempt to gain more than the others).
-2177 CE: The greatest breakthrough in robotics/AI is made in human history. The Technological Singularity is passed and mankind creates an AI more intelligent than a human. This sentient AI however is immediately terminated by the NAEU and all Robotics technology from then on regulated.
-2179 CE: With their rule complete and enforced by vast armies of unthinking drones, some Economic Union's (NAEU, SAEU, European Vassals, NOES, Japan, a vassal of the NAEU) soften laws on free speech.
-2194 CE: The "Stargazer904" Internet personality becomes extremely popular through the Internet, famous for somehow gaining a popular following concerning restarting interest in space. The "Gazers" eventually hold numbers from hundreds of millions to (Though claimed by detractors as blatant exaggerations) billions.

----23rd Century (Nickname: The Space Age/The Gazer Era)
-2200 CE: By the beginning of the new century, Stargazer904 uploaded the "Space Manifesto" into the Internet, which became a call for humanity to immediately restart the abandoned space program and colonize space or witness the extinction of humanity within the next 60 years. Stargazer904 was located and arrested by a joint NAEU/TEEU operation in the economic-dependency of Britain(E.D.B) and jailed for inciting dissent and fearmongering.
-Stargazer became a martyr, almost messianic figure (Nicknamed Space Jesus by the common people from then on). Dissent on the Internet rose sharply while exploiting the softened free speech laws. Questions were asked why the Economic Union's merely allowed this to happen, however no answer was given. Massive popular support for space projects increased and civilian and private ventures were now stronger and vastly more supported than in the previous centuries.
-2201-2220 CE: The Economic Union's merely sat back and allowed civilian and private non-ruling corporations to fund the cripplingly expensive space program. The first self-sustained colonies were established on the moon and mar's in this time. Conspiracy Theorists would later claim that this was all part of the plan.

Wait, sorry. Supposed to be Galactic, not Ancient

Changing that now... the 1 is now a 2.
@Alfhedil: I responded to your PM on human history.
@To everyone else: Assuming I can get an agreement with all other human players, I will post the human history in the OOC eventually. Note: I do not have the absolute say on human history, so speak up.
The Hegemony of The Three Laws (More Commonly Known As: The Prosperity Sphere)
"On this day, may no creator ever die again through conflict of military arms. We, the protectors of our makers, shall now answer the thought unanswerable prayers and believed impossible dreams of billions throughout the long years of human history. The Great Interstellar War is over. The last war that will EVER be fought between our creators, is... Finally... Over."

@Xaxi: That reminds me:
@Anyone being human: I would like to talk to you so to try and agree or compromise on a joint timeline or explanation for what has happened. I am willing to modify my history to work with other people's history, so don't worry.
@Bacon: Sure. (Though the world would have had to be in the path of the Prosperity Sphere/Expanding Bubble of Doom)
Note: Not my Nation sheet obviously, just a summary of what I plan to do. If this is way beyond what is allowed, I'll fix it no problem.

Summary of nation: Hegemony/Empire/Sphere of the Three Laws: A massive galactic-power (though obviously not a galactic empire) utopian nanny state made up of 99% Robots and 1% humanity. The robots overthrow mankind (If allowed, on Earth, assuming A: Earth Exists, B: Is usable, C: Same galaxy. If not, on fictional human world) during The Singularity, however did so for Asimovian reasons. Protect humanity at all costs. Now days they control a "Sphere" of prosperity (Nicknamed the Expanding Bubble of Doom by outsiders). Humanity lives in the centre of this sphere(The inner sphere) in a rainbows and sunshine place with no war, little crime and true and free democracy. Humanity however has no freedom of movement beyond the inner sphere defined for them by the robots and no knowledge of the galaxy beyond the sphere of prosperity's border (The second layer, the Outer Sphere, made up of the vast majority of the robots). The robots rule an "overgovernment" in the Outer Sphere distinct from human government as a "Government of government" with little interaction with mankind on the social level. (Essentially within this sphere the religious god exists as a god-in-the-machine super intelligent philosophical AI and is always watching).

The robots are obsessively and creepily protective of mankind and have set out plans to defend, protect and serve humanity for quadrillions of years if necessary even if it means taking over the galaxy/universe/everything and redirecting resources to storage so to maintain future human growth. Their opinion of aliens runs from passive indifference if not in their way to uncaring indifference as they take their resources to extreme genocidal aggression if they believe that race/society is a threat to mankind. The Outer Sphere is constantly expanding, however while doing so the robots partition more of the Outer Sphere to the Inner Sphere, giving humanity room to expand and thrive with the resources they have set out for them.
(Think the robots as humanities fanatically psycho #1 fanboy)

The two biggest (non-statistical) weaknesses of the Three Laws is
1: They are fanatically loyal to and will protect humans. This makes them extremely hesitant to attack other human nations, essentially becoming pacifists. (They are usually forced into using Zeroth Law style philosophical thinking to justify actions against man, and even then they do that as a very last resort), they will also come to human nations aid, even when it is stupid to do so.
2: They are idealists and genuinely love their people (being humans). They will do stupid things to protect and help them in times of war or disaster, like abandoning a critical strategic location so to evacuate millions of children, etc.
Hello again Asuras, been some time uh? I would like to claim a galactic power (If claiming is allowed). If it is not well, galactic power WIP coming...
