Human World

In Tales of Meiji, the retro-futuristic world is inhabited by a variety of denizens such as robots, talking animals, monsters, magical beings, and possible deities. Areas may have advanced technology like flying cars, while others resemble ancient times or industrial conditions. Mythological and supernatural creatures make regular appearances and coexist among the technologically-advanced inhabitants. However, the planet has hardly been urbanized, and there are a number of chapters that take place in uninhabited areas of the world, such as forests, jungles and mountains, which have remained largely untouched. During the growth of the ancient civilizations, ancient technology was the result from advances in engineering in ancient times. These advances in the history of technology stimulated societies to adopt new ways of living and governance.
