Dystopia

Empire of Consumerium - all producers of anything use Consumerium Services before marketing to see if their product will turn on the green light or the red light for users of Consumerium checker devices we have patented and controlled so no one can create a bad copy problem. If it's red light, they literally can't get bankers to create money for them to do it. If it's green, it's almost automatic. We are now regulating access to debt.

Eventually, as countries agree to create currency based only on ecosystem health criteria, we have inordinate influence. However, enemies prevent us from actually stopping all illegal activity and black markets continue. Some visions begin to evolve that imagine what would occur if there was a way to classify all products containing plant or animal matter according to its DNA or trace materials...

Ummm. For an empire you'd need an emperor and I really don't want to know who the fool is that would think it would be nice to be the emperor. Could we please try to stick to more down to earth issues? Juxo
