At some point in the early XXI century, Oni's Earth apparently went through a world war (or a series of terror acts) with the use of biological weapons. (It is not clear if nuclear weapons exist, although we are aware of compact and powerful explosive devices, the [[Xiox]].) This war, combined with pollution, rendered a large part of the world uninhabitable (the[[BioCrisis]] may be a reference to that), and the surviving population naturally gathers in cities where atmospheric decontamination processes are introduced. At the end of Oni we are told that there are ~400 densely populated "regions", each of them depending on an Atmospheric Conversion Center like the one we see in Chapters 7 and 8. The centralization of the world population contributes to the emergence of a totalitarian government, the [[WCG]]. | At some point in the early XXI century, Oni's Earth apparently went through a world war (or a series of terror acts) with the use of biological weapons.

:(EDIT: An alternative hypothesis is that the widespread pollution - BioCrisis -, population decline, and crackdown on technological crime are all more or less direct (and more or less covered-up) consequences of Phase tech. Once discovered/invented, the new phenomena quickly led to major industrial breakthroughs but, like every new technology, the processes were poorly mastered. Catastrophes of various scales may have occurred - both accidental and deliberate - and a more general pollution problem may have emerged as a side effect of, e.g., mass production of [[Quotes/Items#cell|Energy Cells]].) | :(EDIT: An alternative hypothesis is that the widespread pollution - BioCrisis -, population decline, and crackdown on technological crime are all more or less direct (and more or less covered-up) consequences of Phase tech.
