The Era: 450 AD - 1000 AD

The beauty of the Greek and Roman Empires is long gone! The ruling system has collapsed and
taken with it stable government, schools, libraries, a uniform currency, and a common language.
Barter now replaces money as the major purchasing system. Cities and towns have been destroyed
and transportation between them is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

This era is not without government though. The Roman Catholic Church remains a strong unifying
force. In addition, medieval civilization clings to a very simple for of government called " feudalism."
