The Cyberpunk 2077 universe is set within the USA but that doesn't mean there aren't other stories out there in the rest of the world. Today we explore the history of the UK within the Cyberpunk timeline and what they've been up to over the years.

Would love a video about the state of Africa in Cyberpunk. I know in the lore it’s become sort of a technological and social paradise. Think wakanda but for the whole continent due in no small part to the orbital and space industries on the continent going back to the formation of the EEC. Even in 2077 we see ads for Somalia and other African countries I believe portraying them as paradise on earth.

It’s pretty funny if you live in England hearing that nomads are in Englands countryside, if you know anything about the English countryside side it’s that it’s not exactly wide open spaces with space for nomadic tribes to wander. They would be “roaming” for 5 minutes before they come across a quaint village or an impassable hedge.

I was under the notion that most of that old, small, low-density population centre spread had fallen to the corporations at the very beginning and either paved over by industrial parks or left to become ghost towns as folk were forced to either work and live in urban factories or starve. This forced displacement of peoples from their original, natural habitat by corporation influence is one of the main themes of Cyberpunk 2020 and onwards.

@ianmaluk1 8 ай бұрын

It's very much written from an American's limited understanding of the UK. In actuality the nomads would literally just be normal countryside Englishmen who'd have their own independent government, due to having control of the vast production of food in the UK, so imagine the countryside looking like the Shire from LoTR with border control against the cities.

We do need an update. A lot of the regional splatbooks from the tabletop are uh.... dated visions of the future.

It's interesting how they took inspiration from every era of crisis and conflict that Britain encountered, the industrial age's luddites and the fears spun out from thatchers economic policies... and completely avoided mentioning anything about Northern Ireland or the Falklands or other overseas territories since the rulebook came out in the 80's and would have most likely been banned or subject to the same scrutiny of the video nasties. Could have been interesting since there was a few foreign companies already setting up in ROI and NI during that time. Great video m8!

Its been a long time since I read my old CP2020 books (especially Eurosource), but I find it amazing how the developers practically predicted real events.

@mikeblatzheim2797 7 ай бұрын

In what possible way could the EU be considered a "totalitarian" entity? As for the royal family collapsing, there also appears to be a stark lack of evidence to point towards that happening. FYI, transitioning the EEC into a closer political alliance has been the aim from the beginning, and been worked towards since the 50s. So not that difficult to predict.

There is! In the Cyberpunk 2020 game, Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe, with France coming in at a close second. This wealth was mostly driven by a new-found personal ambition and nationalism after the Wasting Plague of the late 1990s killed nearly half the population. This new outlook (referred to as "dreampainting") is so strong amongst the youth in France, that if they don't attain their goals, they often commit suicide. Incidentally, this keeps poverty relatively low, which helps to keep their economy stable. High fashion and glitz & glam are practically the cultural norm. Those that aren't rich, try to fake it. Anyone who looks like a 'streetkid' is essentially a second-class citizen.
