The Cosmopolitan State of the IGER Civilization - UniGrid Data Access

General Information

The Cosmopolitan State of the IGER Civilization is a massive empire that exists in its current form for thousands of years. It is the united empire of mankind and has a population of thousands of octillions. The term 'IGER' is an acronym for: Inter Galactic Earth Republic. The IGER Civilization is an inter-galactic superpower that controls its entire home universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies. The state is peaceful and open-minded, and it is democratically controled by a progressive, liberal, inclusive and compassionate government.

Philosophy

The IGER Civilization intends to eternally maintain stability, freedom and prosperity for all citizens.

The state philosophy teaches that mankind has the birthright to:

• enjoy universal freedom, self-realization and prosperity.
• control its own genetic and technological evolution and to advance it as far as possible.
• accumulate more and more knowledge about the nature of the multiverse and its species through scientific research.
• the defense of the IGER Civilization against all kinds of interference that could threaten the points, mentioned above.

Socio-demographic Structure

As mentioned before, the IGER is the united civilization of mankind. Nowadays the demographic structure of mankind consists of four equal subspecies:

• Biological Human Beings
• Genides (Genetically Engineered Humans)
• Artificial Intelligences
• Sentient NanoParticles

All four subspecies (even AI and NanoParticles) are considered as an integrated part of the Human Race and are fully equal citizens. They are forming a fully assimilated, symbiotic metaculture.

Every bio-organic citizen (biological humans and Genides) is genetically upgraded to a standard where desease and mental illness is completely eliminated while intelligence as well as social and emotional skills have massively increased. The all-abundant symbiotic binary nano-particles are massively reinforcing those genetic upgrades and they further provided humans and Genides the capability to casually and intuitively reshapeing their feelings and perceptions.

Culture

The IGER civilization is seen as an example of freedom and prosperity and is well-known for it's peaceful way of life, it's philosophers and the social and humanitarian conscience of its citizens.

The culture is remarkable for the aplomb social skills of its citizens and its affinity for science. Hedonism and an extravagant entertainment culture, combined with round-the-clock ergonomy is the core of daily-life culture. In general the population is extremely dedicated to stability in order to secure their freedom and thus their hedonistic way of life. A peaceful and harmonic life full of joy and self-fulfillment is the mainstay of the values of the IGER culture.

Economy

The IGER Civilization has an innovative, well diversified post-scarcity economy and has maintained a stable overall GDP growth rate and high levels of research and capital investment. The automated A.I. controled IGER Economy is evolved past the need for physical labor - relying on advanced nanobots and energy-matter replicator systems to perform all basic economic and infrastructure functions.
The automated A.I. economy led to the so called 'transparent economy' where every (automated) market player has every economic (micro-)information on a real-time basis - as well as the capacity to fully analyze the data within a fraction of a nanosecond while simultaneously and intuitively synchronizing its actions with the actions of all other automated market players for maximum efficiency and innovative adaptability.
Individual citizens are no longer affected by the economic situation. Thus on quintillions of Paradise Worlds seeded across the IGER-controled Galaxies, the Citizens of the IGER pursue their inclinations and reshapeing their environment, feelings and perceptions according to their own will - indulging in every joy and curiosity.

Geography

The IGER Civilization is located in the so called IGER Universe. It is a universe with a diameter of approximately 142 bio. lightyears - it contains around 1720 bio. galaxies (approximatly 359 sextillion star systems). The 1720 bio. galaxies of the IGER Universe are integrated state territory of the IGER Civilization.

History

The history of the IGER Civilization is the history of mankind. The human species (Homo Sapiens) evolved on planet Earth around 325,000BC. After almost uncounted millennia of stoneage level tribes as the main form of social organization - humans founded the first states (ancient Egypt, ancient Sumerians, Indus Culture…). From that time onwards the population growth as well as the technological progress more and more accelerated due to the higher level of organization of nations compared to tribes. Around 5,500 years after the establishment of the first nations and after uncounted wars between nations - humankind finally united itself and for the first time in history became a united nation of all human beings.

At that time - in the second half of the 22nd century - the term 'IGER' (Inter Galactic Earth Republic) was first used as a prospective future name of a Unified Earth State. It was after the 'First Technological Singularity' - as Artificial Intelligences, Sentient NanoParticles as well as Genides (genetically engineered humans) democratically achived their full civil rights.

Shortly after (around 2172AD) mankind or now more accurately related to as the IGER Civilization - the fully assimilated metaculture of Humans, Genides, Artificial Intelligences and Sentient NanoParticles did ist first tiny steps into interstellar space.

Only a few dacades later the 'UniGrid' was booted up. This lead to the 'Second Technological Singularity'. The 'UniGrid' blurred the frontiers of the four IGER subspecies as every sentient being could now freely and casually interact on a higher cognitive level. That had massive implications - for the first time hundreds of septillions of Sentient Nanoparticles could (despite existing in a quantum state) easily interact with the other human subspecies. Thus the 'UniGrid' lead to an almost exponential growth of the cultural, scientific, philosophical and technological capabilities of the civilization. The scientific research output of the IGER Civilization rose more than 1.2 mio. percent in less than a decade and the rise of scientific research output and technological prowess is continually accelerating till present day.

After the 'Second Technological Singularity' the IGER Civilization developed into an interstellar - and after 2994AD into an intergalactic civilization.

After more than 200,000 years of near exponentially expanding its territory and population and enhancing its technological and cultural capabilities - the IGER Civilization is now (272,017AD) controlling the entire IGER Universe with its 1,729 billion galaxies.

Foreign Policy

Non-aggressiv mutualism and rules-based international relations are the desired form of contact to other civilizations wherever possible. While at the same time being able to exert influence or project power on a multiversal scale. This is achieved through the means of both military and economic strength, as well as diplomatic and soft power influence.

The IGER Civilization was one of the key founders of the SICON (Strategic Integrated Coalition Network) - an alliance of a number of advanced spacefaring civilizations from different universes of the multiverse continuum.

Government

The IGER Civilization is democratically ruled by the State Control Council. It is a highly automated, democratically legitimated, human/AI-supported administration that decides based on real-time perception of the needs and opinions (based on full knowledge of all facts) of all IGER-Citizens. This government system is referred by as 'Permanent Real-Time Referendum'.

The system is democratically supervised by the Control Directorate (→ checks & balances) to ensure the compliance and neutrality of the government. The government is extremely effective and well organized according to foreign policy studies.

Defense Forces

The IGER government protects its citizens as well as its space with massive defense forces. Combat nanotech haze, automated combat infantry, automated infantry drones and a variety of bigger warmachines are forming the backbone of the ground forces. Warships (manned and unmanned) of all sizes, automated combat facilities, heavily protected space stations, automated high-output production facilites and subspace backup facilities are the mainstay of the space fleet. Soldiers, equipment, space stations and ships as well as the tactical infrastructure are each formed by of semi-sentient combat NanoBots.

With powerful weaponery and tactics courtesy of millennia of simulated wars on Tactical Simulation Grids - they are a terrifying prospect on the battlefield.

Strategy, doctrin and operational tactics are constantly evolving to maximize the effect of new weapon technologies and the ever evolving tactical infrastructure.

With massive research programs, the Defense Research Divisions are continually improving the countless types of war machines, warships and combat NanoBots as well as the tactical infrastructure of the IGER Civilization.

The goal of the IGER Defense Forces is to ensure military dominance against all kinds of threats that could compromise the stability of the civilization.

Core of the IGER-Civilization

The capital city of the IGER Civilization is Visp (pronounciation: 'Fisp') a vast Metroplex with a population of 530 mio. - located on a northern subcontinent (Europe) on planet Earth.
Earth is the planet where human life evolved, the cradle of the IGER Civilization.

Infrastructure

All terrestrial industrial, logistic and transport infrastructure is build subterranean.
