Racing Tube in New Fabens
Athletecus is a world which is called the Sporting Capital of the UUniverses. It is the home of the most gaming events in the UUniverses, and it is a world where anything is taken to the extreme. Several gaming events occur almost every week on this world. Famed sports such as racing, obstacle courses, ball games, wrestling, and Olympics occur on this world, and other attractions are found here such as casinos, funfairs, and resorts. Though because this world swirls money around for gambles and bets, then that means there are criminal underworlds that reside within this world to profit from them. These gaming events are broadcasted all across the UUniverses.
History[]
Athletecus has the same evolutionary time period as Earth, except it is a hundred years older. Dinosaurs came and gone, prehistoric mammals came and gone, and humans had evolved to become the dominant species. However, the humans' greatest passion on this world was racing. They started out this activity with running races. Then when wheels were discovered, much more greater versions of this sport were created. Then the humans began to develop a habit of different sports such as ball games and others. In their earlier years, they played games naked just like those of ancient Greece due to belief that clothes were restraining the fitness, and as the years passed, they developed skin-tight track suits to ensure that the restraining of clothes was not a problem.
Though racing grew to be the biggest sport of the planet, other forms of sports began getting recognition. Massive arenas were built, cities with twisting and turning bridges, tunnels, and gambling and entertainment attractions were built, and the people began to enjoy it. Cities were either next to each other for sporting event matters, or were just combined into megalopolises. Extremes were even made into the racing society such as stunt tracks and gaming parks. However, money began to be traded around during these sporting events, and where there's money, there's crime waiting to exploit it. Thus, criminal syndicates formed in many catacombs and mines across the planet.
Over time, the sports on this world began to become an entertainment success, and other-worldly beings began to get into the action. Thus, the UUniverses set up a network to allow people from all across the UUniverses to watch the skill and courage to play these sports. And because this world is a hundred years older, the world is a hundred years more advanced. Cities are nearly-futuristic here as a result, and the architecture, vehicle technology, sporting events, economy, and others were much different than that of Earth.
Government and Society[]
Athletecus World Map
The government is democratic and has varying cultures. People there can either be American, Spanish, Australian, Canadian, French, German, or Russian depending on the area of the planet that they are from. Each continent has it's own president, and it's main police force is called the Zephyr Rangers which operate underground in city catacombs. The cities of Athletecus are known to either be together with others, or have merged to become megalopolises. Each have a series of twisting and turning tunnels, bridges, and have underground catacombs where most races take place. Lights are basically all over the cities, including the roads and signs. These cities are also known to contain funfairs, casinos, and resorts.
Racing is the top sport of the planet. It is so popular that the underground city catacombs were built here for safe sport racing. These catacombs are connected to each of the cities' many arenas which span over 50 miles. Some tracks even go as far as to span the entire world. They are even monitored by cameras not just by the Rangers, but also by the many hidden criminal underworlds which have been profiting and exploiting races and other sporting events for money. Rangers are meant to make sure these criminals are causing no trouble. Other sports are known to exist here such as other vehicle sports, wrestling, Olympics, ball games, and various others. Racing has also developed several kinds of hazards such as inverted tracks that go into loop-de-loops, horizontal or inclined slopes, even barrel rolls. Though these are only legal for trained professionals. This is also the origin of several new kinds of car sports such as the famous combat races and derbies, where all the cars have weapons.
