Third question!

[lunchleader]

This is a Just In Case one and I apologize for it being late - what is the current status of 22nd Century Earth? I presume that there's no World War or Intergalatic War going on - pretty sure that would've been notated on the main Jaunt info. But is it more peaceful than the 21st century/Modern Earth? Or does it have the normal amounts of conflicts?

Regular levels of conflict - the only places which are more peaceful are (much as today) the places whose superior technology and military permits them to act with impunity and retaliate disproprotionately if they're targeted.

The settling of other planets is primarly done by a combination of those world superpowers, and oppressed populations of less prosperous areas who think the risk of space travel may pay off with a better life (typical colonial settlement, in other words).
