On the fifth day, the Terra Federation unveiled another sweeping reform—one that would reshape civilian life entirely.
Virtual and Augmented Reality systems—ranging from compact headsets to full-immersion pods—were released en masse to the public. What made the move truly transformative, however, wasn't just the technology itself—it was the Federation's decision to subsidize each citizen with 1,000 Terra Credits.
Enough to afford a basic VR or AR device, this financial support ensured that no one, regardless of income, would be left behind in the shift to the digital frontier.
But this wasn't merely about giving people access to immersive entertainment or virtual experiences.
This was the next stage in the Federation's transformation—one that aimed to bring entire layers of governance, civil infrastructure, and daily functionality into the virtual domain.
