If a player in the Gay faction can hold on until turn 40 or so (2030) then cloning will be cheap and plentiful and the gays will control the scientific community (as any Republican can tell you is currently the case.)

With the diminishing power of nation states, and the lack of conventional warfare...

 :lol

Article is really more of an exercice in pleasuring oneself, to be honest. Hum yeah end of history, end of nation states  :cody

The anomaly might in fact be the total war conflicts of the 20th century.
