Terminology is very important when trying to map the entire planet. It sure makes discussions easier and simpler. The following is a (hopefully) short list of some of the commoner terms a person might see when reading or working with the articles of this wiki.


 * OUR world and THIS world -- respectively denotes the Earth of our timeline, where "real world events" happen and the alternative world of Keine Zeit, which we create.
 * Keine Zeit -- a German sentence meaning "Now is not the Time". This is a moniker for this universe as a whole. It covers the timeline from 1657 to 1930's. Occasionally it can also be referred to as "Project Keine Zeit" or "world of Keine Zeit".
 * Zeitenwende -- a German word meaning "historic turning point". This is the speculated "continuation" of Keine Zeit's world, in which we take the already existing nations of Keine Zeit and model them into the near future of 2030. As of writing this article (May, 2020), Zeitenwende is a mere speculative term, created more for copyright purposes.
 * MFR or Main Four Rules -- a principal of how this project works: what has been established as fact and is unalterable without Really Good Reason and lots of Arguing.
 * LIER [ljɛr] -- a principle with which we classify political ideologies. It was created first and foremost as a way of escaping the boring and tedious hairsplitting over the minutia of political ideologies, such as the "Nazism vs. Fascism" debate or the eternal debate on what constitutes "true socialism".
