The mini-cubes of 2061 to 2065, were the last-chance attempt of the Ironian nation to prevent their collapse. The Great Turmoil of 2060 decimated every nation on their planet, so with their best endeavours, a solution for Ironia had to be implemented.

Global competition had resulted in a race to the bottom, thus the mini-cube making-selling-engine was devised with the very latest technology. In principle, the mini-cube was a good idea, but the regime chosen to run its affairs, was irresponsible and inhuman.

This however, was not humanity's biggest problem, not even close – decades earlier, they had stumbled upon the 'realm', which had triggered the scrutiny of intelligences that were minded to simply - switch humanity off!
