World Index

Gernsback. Closed Pulp SF world. Local year 1969.
Coventry. Highly restricted prison world for parachronic criminals and misfits. No local year.

Enigma-1. A completely closed world in which everyone disappeared on January 21, 1982 for no discernible reason. Local year 2000.
Attila-4. A slightly restricted world in which the Mongol hordes destroyed Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. These areas were reduced back to wandering, uncivilized tribes after the Khanate collapsed a hundred years ago. Only Japan seems to be progressing. Local year 1783.
Lucifer-4. A slightly restricted world in which a tiny human population struggles for survival after a vast asteroid struck the Earth in 1818. Local year unknown, estimated at 1828-1838.

Homeline. Open parallel. Home Sweet Home. Local year 2039.
Dupe-1. Open parallel. Home Sweet Home Mark II. Local year 2039.
Oswald-4. Open parallel. Oswald misses Kennedy, a stagnant American economy drags the world to depression, government centralization and only slight recovery. Local year 2001.
Latin-6. Open parallel. An Italo-dominated Europe vies with a Chinese Empire for dominance in a balkanized world. Local year 2079.
Holly. Slightly restricted parallel. A rock-and-roll heaven in which inexplicably, many performers who died young on Homeline had much longer careers. This has had no significant effect on world events. Local year 1988.
Dixie-3. A mildly restricted Southern Civil War victory world. Local year 1982.
Cherokee-1. A mildly restricted world in which the Cherokees were treated much better and ended up controlling oil-rich Oklahoma. Local year 1986.
Ariane-3. Open, now empty. A mutated flu epidemic wiped out most of the world's population, but in a humanitarian move, the Big Four treated the disease and exported the survivors to another world. Local year 1946. Inoculation required before visitation.
Most colony worlds are in Quantum 5, as are most private-enterprise endeavours.

Reich-5. A very restricted parallel in which Nazi Germany won World War II. Local year 1980.
Johnson's Rome. Slightly restricted parallel in which the tamer pursuits of the Roman Empire are still lazily practiced (funded by a Big Four conglomerate as a tourist spot). Local year 918.
Taft-3. A slightly restricted world in which abnormal solar flares caused mass sterility in about 99 percent of the world's population in 1930. Local year estimated at 1982.
There are more historical Echoes on Quantum 6 than on any other Quantum.

Campbell-1. A slightly restricted parallel in which the lack of science fiction in the early half of the twentieth century led to stagnating scientific development and economic growth. Local year 1999.
Ragnarok-5. An atomic war in 1983 devastated this slightly restriced parallel. Local year is 2000.
Quantum 7 has slightly less known historical echoes than Quantum 6 - however, valid parallels are harder to detect due to their great "distances" from Homeline on the plenum.

None known.
