Social Issues:
Most of the population of Nerkatya is religiously conservative. Recently, more secular movements have been taking shape, mostly over the issue of Cybers, or humans with synthetic or mechanical parts. A select few are perturbed at the growing influence of robotic technology, starting with the introduction of synthetic factory workers and more recently with the growing number of Cybers. Most Cybers are soldiers and laborers, who want to become more physically adept, physically handicapped people with replacement limbs, or highly religious people who become Cybers to profess their faith. Humans outnumber Cybers at a 15:1 ratio, but the number of Cybers has grown nearly 2000% since the first introduction of robotic prosthetics (The growth rate among the religious leadership is nearly four times that much.). Some hate crimes have been documented, but the relationships between Humans and Cybers is mostly amicable.
