How did the Vulcans help Earth?

How did the Vulcans help Earth after WW3? They policed the internet and destroyed the Anonymous identity option. Once everyone had to pay to use it and their ID exposed the level of vitriol, lies and misinformation disappeared.
I would reboot the number to 6 billion instead.

The number has already been revised.

But then it's a different third world war that started and finished at different dates, with different instigators and competitors.

A team of 9 builders started construction on my house in February. Should be done by October… That’s a three story house with all the rooms, decorating and facilities you would expect.

Got big money rolling through here... ;)
 
Would take a lot longer in the UK, I think we use different materials

I think it’s man-power plus hours rather than materials. They’ve been going 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.

It’s actually quite astonishing. My wife’s there all the time, because the place is near where her parents live… I only check in every four weeks and it’s amazing seeing it build up.
 
In 2161, an Existing Federation member world did not have to spend years appraising the disposition of an applicant world before they were deemed copacetic with the Federation way of doing things, mostly because there were no preexisting member worlds, and that the quasi-Federation-like institution collecting member worlds on Founders Day, was called the Coalition of Planets.

Do we know what rules were set down when the UFP became a thing? Or what changed between 2161 and TOS onward?

Bajor.

I was hinting about the 7 years Sisko spent edging Bajor towards Federation membership, but the Evora (From Star Trek: Insurrection) were full members, one year after discovering warp, because the Federation needed their dilithium, to rebuild, after the Dominion War left them skint.

Where there rules initially? That's Guy's point.

Earth,, Vulcan, Tellar, Andor. They decided to form a Federation of at least 4 polity. The only rule might have been "yes,, we agree to unify". They may have had no rules regarding caste systems, slavery, etc... Heck, they made the rules up as they went along.

Captain Pike said 30 percent of Earth’s population died, which would make it 2.4 billion if we hit 8 billion people.

The other number, 600 million dead, is a Riker quote from STVIII First Contact.

A sleek Romulan assassin, fumbled an assassination in 1993, delaying the onset of the Eugenics war by 40 to 50 years. (SNW Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow)

There are daft punks here insisting that nothing changes in 2250 - 67 if the Eugenics war moves, as if the world we live in today would be identical if WWII started in 1989.

Although...

WWII thrived between 2026 and 2053. Nukes were the last weapons they used, because all the world powers must have run out of the cool and clever advanced tech they used for the first three decades of the war. Greg Cox in his novels postulated that they were opening and closing windows in the ozone layer to hand out super cancer hand over fist to any one who could not find shade.

After 3 decades of countries trading super cancer with each other, where only the Supermen were immune, I highly doubt that the population was anywhere close to 8 billion unless there were breeding plans in effect to keep the war funded with fresh soldiers, but those drug zombie solders from Encounter at Farpoint probably had serious fertility issues if their body Armour gave them a hit of mega heroin every time they killed the enemy.

Then it isn't the same timeline. This doesn't sound like a mistake, but an active change to it by the writers.

It isn't the same timeline, but muppets have fought me believing otherwise.

You haven't seen the episode?

It's really quite good.

I kinda soured on SNW with the final two episodes of season one. Haven't really had a desire to go back.
