It is long after the death of Earth. A band of men and women on a colony planet has gained control of technology. With it, they have given themselves immortalty and godlike powers, and they rule their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon: Kali, Goddess of Destruction; Yama, Lord of Death; Krishna, God of Lust. All are opposed by him who was Siddhartha, who is now Mahasamatman, Binder of Demons, Lord of Light
In the Ichidian Universe things were once greatly out of hand. No one was safe. No planet was left untouched by violence.

They formed their own group called the The League.
The Modern World, Volume 2: Civilizations of Europe
The culture of Europe might be described as a series of overlapping cultures. The long and diverse history of the continent has created many cultural “fault lines” across the continent—West as opposed to East, Catholicism and Protestantism as opposed to Eastern Orthodoxy, Christianity as opposed to Islam. In addition, Europe is home to a diversity of intellectual and religious movements, often at odds with each other, such as Christianity and humanism.
The roots of the concept of nationalism—loyalty and pride for one’s nation—can be traced to Europe.
The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London. It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it in September 1843. As of summer 2007, its average circulation topped 1.2 million copies a week, about half of which are sold in North America. Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely British) news source.
