SCP-4072 in its inactive state
Item #: SCP-4072
Object class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4072 is to be contained in a room 24m x 24m x 24m in size. SCP-4072 is contained in Area-179 and is free to use by all staff. Entering the simulation requires either level 2 clearance or Permission from the researcher assigned to SCP-4072
Description: SCP-4072, also known as the "Political Terrarium", is a large glass tank (10m x 10m x 10m) that is perfectly sealed, there is a single lectern on one side of the tank. Inside the tank is empty until anomalous properties are "activated."
Once a book, particularly one outlining a political system, is placed in the lectern (open or closed) the tank will display what appears to be a "simulation" of the system. The system is simulated so that it represents a particular time and place (time/place is usually that of the one in the book if it is mentioned).
SCP-4072 will display whole countries like what you would see in a video game, the displayed countries will have particular colourings, population counters, political alignment of citizens of the countries (represented on a pie chart) a picture of the leader, their name and political alignment. (note: information is shown as an overlay on the glass just above the lectern)
The globe is displayed in the glass cube until the view is shifted, a user is able to view the simulation at any angle, all the way down to a first person perspective. The user is able to "zoom in" by declaring such while holding the lectern, ie: "Zoom in so that I may see cities" this also means one can "zoom out" with a similar command. A countries information is only displayed once the country has been selected, this is also done using verbal commands ie: "Select Germany." A user can also select specific cities and towns in a similar manner. (Note: When the simulation is viewed as a globe, the coloring of the countries becomes solid, and their name clearly printed across the nation.)
Testing has revealed that adding more lecterns allows for more political systems to be simulated, allowing for as many lecterns as will fit. It is possible, to "enter" the simulation by simply putting a door on one side of the tank, anyone who enters will become a citizen of the nation currently being viewed while still retaining all of their memories.
Anyone who enters can only leave once the simulation is ended, which is done my removing the book from the lectern (only the original lectern effects the "activeness" of the SCP). Several tests have been conducted using electronic data in place of books, all of which have failed to activate SCP-4072.
The speed at which the simulation operates is at 1 day per minute, this can be changed simply by holding the edges of the lectern and "declaring" the speed at which the simulation will run, ie. "the simulation will run at 1 day per second." (note: the simulation will not run slower that 1 day per day)
Any person within the simulation that has entered via the door will age at the same rate as anyone else within the simulation, and will experience time the same as what they would, however, upon ending the simulation they will return to the age they would be had they not entered.
If no time or country is indicated in the book, it will use the time and country of when/where the book was written, however, if the year and country are simply written on a piece of paper and place on the lectern with the book, the simulation will then use the indicated time/place.
Anyone who dies in the simulation however will stay permanently dead, though the body will be recoverable after ending the simulation. Several tests conducted using different political systems is detailed below.
Test 4072-1
Input: A copy of Adolf Hilter's "mein kampf"
Result: The events that unfolded were exactly the same as in our time line.
"I wonder if it just re-enacts certain ideologies that have already been used in real life, This could be useful. - Dr "
Test 4072-2
Input: A copy of Karl Marx's "The communist manifesto"
Result: The simulation started in 1850 and simulated an Alternate Prussia that was now a communist dictatorship. the "Prussian commune" went on to become "The People's Union Of Germany" in 1861 after conquering the rest of the German lands. The communist nation later collapsed in 1873 due to internal strife and several wars with France, which they had lost.
Test 4072-3
Input: A piece written by Dr Betteridge, titled "The National-Liberal Manifesto" (Due to this not being a published document, attached will be a brief outline of the ideology.)1
Result: The simulation Started in 1926 and simulated and alternate Australia (these were indicated on a sticky note on the book) And showed Australia declaring independence in 1927 and then later in 1931 annexing New Zealand. The country was also being more heavily industrialised than the Australia in our time line, and was trying to compete with America.
Testing on D-class subjects entering the simulation, will commence on 30/1/19.
