' Wrote:I think Real World comparisons are necessary, actually.
What would you say if there was a Planet New Mexico City in the Mexico system, under Liberty control? Or a Planet Melbourne in Rheinland? Or Planet Moscow in Bretonia? I'd be against it.
The back story to Freelancer shows a rather advanced Earth with people leaving Earth and having to flee from space warships.
Canada, Mexico and the US could have become one Economic Union, similar to the EU, sharing one currency, one central bank and eliminating passports for travel and having no work restrictions. This could easily explain why there could be a New Mexico City in the Mexico System under Liberty Control. Same for an Alberta System under Liberty Control.
The past of the Freelancer 'verse, appears to be far in our own future. In a way, sort of like "The Earth that was" appears in the Firefly 'verse. There simply doesn't appear to be any major points of information regarding what the old world/ways were like in the game.
