The Gammaverse, in the series Charlie Jade, is a parallel universe in the Multiverse—an egalitarian state with a population of three billion people. It's a low-tech world of cities no larger than ten thousand people, composed of families no larger than four, a world where there are no rich or poor, only middle class.

The principles of democracy, balance and harmony are revered by its people. Everyone over the age of 17 has the right to vote, and must exercise that right. Gammaverse recently reformed its global democracy government structure, electing the One Globe Authority to standardize all rights and services. Nations and borders did not cease to exist, but "Humanity Codes" standardized society into one global free trade zone with common regulations for customs, economics, immigration and freedoms of movement, education, security, agriculture, welfare regardless of the region.

The atmosphere and oceans of Gammaverse are healthy and unpolluted. Ecological responsibility is built into the sensibilities of all its people. It's a world of equal opportunity and education, a healthy culture with minimal poverty and almost no crime.

But although Gammerverse looks idyllic and serene, it is far from perfect. Behind its peaceful veneer stands a corrupt and powerful bureaucracy, obsessed with curbing overpopulation, and backed by a powerful police force. On the surface, all appears serene, but just below, as with all societies, there are flaws and faults that will destroy the society, if allowed to grow.
