Earth 3000 - Jump Trooper , a Civ2 scenario by Foster for the Second
Scenario Leaque Contest. (See also readme.txt for installation notes)

>>>Overview

 Life on Earth in the Year 3000 is hard! Global warming, the depletion of
fossil fuels, and the wars of the third millenium took their toll on
Earth's population. Technology was blamed for all of Earth's miseries,
so the Earthlings formed  governments which tightly controlled the pace of
technological advance.
 Just as Earth begins to recover, two races of aliens bearing gifts have
contacted the Earthlings. Inspired by this alien contact, many Earthmen
desire change from the mediocrity Earth has fallen into.
 Five groups of humans have been slow to accept alien gifts: They are the
Yuros, Manchus, Turks, Latinos and Afros. Two groups of humans have agreed
to ruled and guided by the aliens in exchange for advanced technology. 
They are the Bogons and ExtraBios. As a result, they are completely
dependant on the aliens.

>>>Human Life in the 31st Century

 There is a mind numbing sameness to life in the 31st Century. Due to global
warming during the last 1000 years, food is hard to produce resulting in an
exceedingly bland diet for most people. The world's now stable population
was considerably reduced by famine during the previous millenium. Food mainly
comes from the sea and intensive irrigation of a few hardy crops on land.

 Political thought is so orthodox, that humans all practice the same basic
form of government, Luddism. Luddism exists to keep a tight lid on human
behavior. Some persons, however, refuse to be conformed, and have formed a
revolutionary movement know as the Underground. The movement even controls
some cities, mainly in North America and Australia.

>>>Alien/Human Contact

After years of controversy about UFO's, humanity finally made contact
with extraterrestrial life, not one race but two (Bogons and ExtraBios).
The aliens ostensibly came not to conquer, but to trade. The two races
are in economic competition with each other and see earth as just another
consumer market. This has caused some pockets of humanity to agitate
for change. Others, who are considered crackpots, warn that the
intentions of the aliens aren't what they seem and that this
is all some sort of Trojan Horse.

Very few people have ever seen the aliens who prefer to work behind the
scenes and let human puppets speak for them. They control humanity with
their very superior technology. Even if this Trojan Horse business is true,
there's not much that can be done for now.

>>>Warfare in the 31st Century

Infantry rules the battlefield. The lack of fuel to propel heavy vehicles
has made them impracticle. A typical modern infantryman is armed with a
laser carbine or rifle and has body armor to protect him from more primitive
slug throwing rifles. Such guns are still used by civilians and 
para-military groups, who also lack body armor. In place of artillery,
some infantrymen use grenade launchers that propel chemical and germ weapons.
The suits they wear protect them more from their own weapons than the enemy.

^Atomic powered naval forces are still in use. Researchers are close to
discovering an ionic propulsion system that will be fuel efficient,
so vehicles such as tank and aircraft may soon be again in fashion. 
Although atomic energy is used for peaceful purposes, nuclear weapons have
been banned by the Anti Nuclear Space Treaty. 
The Treaty is scheduled to be renewed every 100 years.
