like obviously there the generic American dream, which is owning a home in suburbia, having a partner and 3.5 kids. But that's just what has been told us. What is your American dream like outside of the programing?
What is your American dream? You know too much about the American landscape and the different types of communities and living styles available to everyone.
Do you wanna live near a retirement community in Florida? Just going on walks and having a solid group of people that you see every day?
Do you want to live on an isolated ranch in North Dakota? Only going into town once a week to get necessities?
Do you want to live in New York City? Being a social butterfly and floating between friend groups and communities at your leisure?
Do you want to live an organic hippie lifestyle on a commune in Arizona?
and something I like to do when planning or envisioning these types of lifestyles Is acknowledging that this will probably only go on for about 5-10 years.
10 years is the maximum amount of time I will probably spend engaging with that lifestyle and that way of being before i want something new. The limitation of the time Span kills the limerence, and makes me approach my desires in a more "realistic" way.

World
The world setting of 16^12 can be summarized as a familiar yet differing in a cozy comfortable way corner of a galaxy similar to our own, derived from my very own data gathered from my playthroughs of Stellaris, Civilization 5, FreeCiv and SC4 as well as curated personalized hints.
It aims to cover ~24000 years of history and serve many purposes but mostly for creativity & manifestation purposes. As of the year 1202X, the planet of Angora emulates our 2020s but as a 'Holoscene Era' period decade, with key historical differences including but not limited to cultural and political matters.
The Shoshoni Union never had any Wilsonian administration ever successful in taking hold of Shoshoni politics, making the current geopolitics far more sustainable and moderate. (Essentially, Theodore Roosevelt got elected in 1912 and then Charles Hughes in 1916, avoiding the full scope of Woodrow Wilson's reach to the present day and solidifying a new progressive deal earlier instead of the Democrats') And as a result, the interwar period is far less conservative and far stronger in successes than what we got in our reality here.
Implying a second global war somehow took place quite similar to our "World War 2" after “World War 1”, the Baby-Boomers of the early 50s oversee, adapt and create a long-term syndicalist deal that makes it an ecological-informed & longer-lasting inclusive solution. (Similar to Jakarta Method’s Soviets’ plan for economics before JFK assassination)
During the middle 1960s & entire 1970s robotics, computer networking and industrial automation become widespread sooner, allowing a class of autonomous robots to succeed as a functional force in the global market (think OGAS, Cybersyn, HECnet/DECnet, Xanadu, hacker culture…)
And as such during the 1980s, massively assisting the human workforce in sapience rights, technical equality & computation sharing (avoiding the worst of managerial staff & bureaucrats) and empowering LGBTQ+ culture far sooner. Also, droid class androids spread during the 1980s and a couple of socialite autonomous governing grid modules are created then.
During the very late 1990s & early 2000s, OpenXanadu wiki suite is created, benevolent GAI overlord is implemented as well as nanotech synthetic-class androids. And the successful exploration of outer space, deep sea waters & other planes of existence finally initiates around then.
An increasingly Luddite harmonious movement forms due to the sheer break-neck pace of technical progress only to slowly falling away due to the grid’s calculated benevolence, making sure such vast high technical stacks are facultative and mostly distributed in urban areas.
Major Shoshone innovations being shared and iterated sanely upon among cooperative agencies and government branches (think open culture, free software and transparent economics coming quite earlier on), making them super competitive compared to other civilizations;
(1910s-onwards electric cars legacy, artificial recommendation search agents, varied networking paradigms, programmers’ learning space, baked-in memory transistors, open hardware fabrication laboratories, exploration of the human mind, preservation of the elderly by memories, RadioVideoTex, Wax cylinder phonological records, 45rpm autoplay vinyls, large interactive Laserdisc disk-based storage in the 1970s, synthetic servants, smart terminal video telephones, universal basic income, generous social welfare programs, youth educational programs, nuclear fusion energy, biological engineering, cooperative lending banks widespread, rural modular decentralization ongoing, liquid democratic feedback systems, systemic benevolence, slower growth yet durable thoughtful and lasting, naturalistic pseudo-knowledge studies, affordable housing and higher education, witch coven acceptance, a tad bit less overall taxation, morphological freedoms, knowledge symbolic banks, video telephones… so some optimistic solarpunk historical background vibes.)
Cultural trends going from great sorrow and darker introspective tones in the 1910s (World War 1) to solarpunk exovert vibes with Cenozoic and syndicalist vibes in the 2010s
Asceticism being a major religious tradition across the globe, with several major religions cooperating over a creation studies’ standardized system, among other traditional matters worth investigating.
