400 years ahead of ours... so in other words they didnt have to go thru the dark
ages with all the religious extremist shenanigans?

There sure is. A massive world-wide war started in 1412, initiated by the
various governments placing restrictions on the number of offspring a family
could have, a severe drought and crop destruction due to unusually large amounts
of insects, and large groups of citizens grouping together to form factions to
overthrow their country's governing bodies. The actual fighting lasted 5 years,
but things didn't resume normalcy until 1475 or so. Millions died during the
battles; between the loss of life (mostly males) and the previous offspring
restrictions, the female population was greater than the male population.

In the Caterwaul/Skunkworks world, it is currently 1754 (or 1755, I forget
which). Despite the date, their civilizations are about 400 years ahead of
ours.
