--Note, these aren't put in any chronological order, perhaps later though--

==== Instances of Control ====

* A government organization called: The Bureau of Morality.  It retains control over most aspects of citizens lives, and in itself has other subsections, one being Child and Family Services.
  
* People aren't allowed to just have children.  Courses must be taken before regular contact with a child is allowed.  "We are not supposed to allow anyone who has not completed their Family & Morality class to have contact with a child."

* People now have "Citizen Points", the way these points affect citizens aren't entirely known, though an e-mail discussing them mentions that they could possibly affect your ability to get a promotion.

* People now have Child-rearing scores.  These scores determine your capability as a parent.

* Nerochips are put into people on their right wrist, presumably everyone since even celebrities and heads of state have them.  They've also been around for a while since the chips have reached a fifth version atleast.

* Citizens are encouraged to inform the government of subversive activities or thoughts by other people.  Much like "1984".  Subversive youths are regularly sent to boot camp.

==== Environmental Problems ====
* The 'Red Tide' has been greatly affecting areas of the U.S. it never has before (as far north as Boston), due to global warming.  This phenomenon is called an algeal bloom, it causes the water to become infested with algea turning it different colors (in the arg so far it has been red).  This kills all aquatic life and causes the water to stink and become toxic.

Species known to have been killed by clients of the Omega Man association are: the lynx, the snow leopard, and the orangutang.

* According to the statements made by Angry Sniper, baseball is able to be played in Febuary.  In present day this couldn't happen because it would be to cold, leading to the conclusion that global warming has heated up one of the coldest months of the year to the point where baseball can be enjoyed outside.

Source: You can infer a lot from the recording, but there is already an excellent article made about this explaining it in full [http://www.ninwiki.com/Baseball_in_February here], thanks to Ledgekindred.

* The climate has become so unseasonably hot that spring break can be held in Greenbay, Wisconsin.  Florida is most likely swamped with heat and Miami is quickly becoming water logged.

* The 105th Airborne Crusaders were formed in response to the 2009 attacks of Los Angeles.

* Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans are abandoned.  Reasons unknown at the moment, but most likely from terrorist attacks much like the ones at Los Angeles.

* Iran is pretty much a waste land, 'ice patrol duty' is actually a reference to the sand turned to glass from nuclear bombs.  The very north area of Iran is the only area that seems to retained any normalcy.  

"Right now we’re at Yüksekova on the edge of the ice doing patrol duty. Ice is what everybody calls that slag after the nukes but actually, 
Urmia in post-Iran is pretty much normal—it doesn’t get radioactive until you go farther south"
