TECHNOLOGY

In most of the world, wealthy households have access to electricity, radios, telephones, and automobiles, products of Axtrillian ingenuity.

Governments and private entities spread propaganda in the form of posters, newspapers and radio broadcasts to get citizens to support their ideologies.

VITA abilities are prized and feared by the public. The strongest members of police organizations and criminal syndicates are often VITA users.

Originating in cabarets and speakeasies across the Horizon Cities, jazz and swing music are currently in vogue.

 Factories employ assembly lines and division of labor to achieve mass production, which increases profits and allows industrialists to live extravagant lifestyles.

Workers are considered expendable in most industries. In Axtrillias, the gears of capitalism are oiled with (and fueled by) the blood of workers.

Axtrillias and the Staal Dominion colonize islands for oil, coal, rubber and aurite, engaging in small skirmishes over the most valuable resources.

Though Vitalists are too rare to be employed en masse, Vita was once used to create advanced technology during the Nameless War (see Machina).

Due to the existence of Vita, military technology has stagnated. With support, squads of Vitalists can turn the tides of battle.

The common soldier is armed with a bolt-action rifle; semi-automatic rifles are rare and expensive. Nearly all automatic guns are crew-served weapons.

Tanks exist, but are less useful than in real life due to Tellus's island geography. Most battlefield casualties are caused by artillery.

Battleships remain the backbone of navies across the world. The Staal Dominion is the only country to field submarines.

Airplanes exist, but are rarely used beyond state lines. For long-distance flights and reconnaissance, airships are more common.
