It was really bad during the Buchanan administration, as noted on the outline, but for all the catching up the US did under the Catalano and Cruz administrations, I imagine it's still not good. On Krypton-1, as in OTL, the US may not be officially a Christian nation, but it's still very much a nation of Christians, particularly those Christians whose only sense of anything outside their faith is that it makes the Baby Jesus cry.
Quote:How accessible is magic to the common man anyway? Is magic the result of Magical Aptitude or can anyone pick up a spellbook and through practice learn to break reality?
The outline specifically states that Meeranar techno-magical devices don't require Magery to use, but presumably, spellcasting does, regardless of your magical system, unless you're in at least a high-mana zone. Infinite Worlds I.S.T. says the world is low-mana; the Kirby-2 article from Pyramid says normal-mana. I assume normal with variations from low to high.
