The Zintek Revolution

Overview
The Zintek Revolution began in mid-2016 when scientists discovered what Zintek, the alien technology, was actually capable of. Rather than just being used to rebuild civilization, it could further advance the human race within the next decade. The world began to evolve, and humanity was given a 450 year boost with technology, becoming more advanced and stronger than the Zin itself. From mechanical/cybernetic augmentations and rebuilt cities to cures and advanced weaponry, the Zintek Revolution changed every aspect of humanity for centuries to come and brought the uprising of several new companies such as KR Robotics, specializing in cybernetic augmentation manufacturing and TranZin, which specializes in advanced construction site equipment and technology.

End of the Modern Era (2017-2019)
The end of the modern era began in 2017 when the humanity began advancing every aspect of the world, from society to culture and technology. By 2019, the Golden Era began, introducing a newer society and brand new cultures, while some countries stayed with their current cultures and beliefs. Most technology was either slightly changed, advanced or remade alongside the introduction to brand new technology that was only existent in one's imagination.

Korea
While Australia had most alien technology, Korea had much more, including the crash landed mothership. Within three years, Korea was the most advanced country in the world, Australia in second place. While Korea had a history for it's powerful military and it's large armada of nukes, the government decided to change the image of the country by rebuilding Seoul, becoming a super advanced concept city, earning the title, city of tomorrow, welcoming people all over the world to the city to view it's advanced setting as a sign of peace and open itself up to the world to prove it is not seeking war. However, it's military came next but still has a long way to go to even come close to rivalling Australia's military.

Australia
Australia was once an ordinary country that was allied with the United States as a military power, supporting one another. Now with the best of the alien technology that has crash landed throughout the country, Australia became the second most advanced country in the world and a major world superpower as of 2018 when the modern era was at its end. Australia had possessed the most impressive technological prowess, alongside Korea, making it the second most advanced country in the world. It was the first country to start advancing it's military technology and power within the first year of the revolution. By 2018, Australia's military had grown larger and established several military programs, including the legendary ANZAC X, and introduced never before seen, brand new navy warships, aircraft and weaponry.

Japan
Being one of the most advanced countries in the world since 1854, Japan was underwhelmed with technology left behind from the Zin armada crash landing, now with Korea and Australia getting ahead. But Japan had worldwide contracts and began to catch up, turning Tokyo into it's capital city by making it a mega city the same as Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Russia
Russia was mostly scathed during the Zin armada crash landing, with portions of the fleet crashing on the outskirts of cities and small towns. Like the rest of the world, the Russian government advanced it's society, technology, towns and cities before upgrading it's military, the nuclear warheads were decommissioned in favor for new, more powerful weaponry that the rest of the world is oblivious to, even Australia and the mysterious L.E.G.I.O.N.

United States of America
The United States fell behind it's fellow nations due to lack of Zin technology, becoming on of the weakest countries out of the world superpowers. Like Japan, the US advanced itself with alien technology through government contracts.
