Congratulations to all honorees. Thank you for making Nebula's first year one to be proud of.

As we celebrate MarkOne, our first year anniversary, we’re taking a moment to look back at the incredible journey, the milestones we've reached and the successes we've achieved.

Swipe through for "A Retrospective on Nebula's First Year", a look at where we started, what we’ve built, and the impact we’ve created together.

With curious minds, sheer grit, and determination, Nebula Research Society began its journey one year ago. From our first article to every workshop, every insight, this journey was built by those who dared to ask why.

Now, we pause.

MarkOne signifies our one year journey and allows us to have a moment to honor how far we've come, and set our sights higher.

Here's to the foundation we built.
And to everything we've yet to discover.

Nebula Research Society-- MarkOne.
The first of many.

The data tells a different story than the news cycle. Since the early 2000s, global su***de rates have edged down from about 11–12 per 100,000 to near 10. Even in high-income countries, long-term trends are mostly downward. South Korea peaked around 29 in 2009 and has since fallen; Japan declined from roughly 20 to 15. This does not deny real pain or setbacks. It shows progress. The world is slowly getting better at prevention, even if headlines focus on crises.

Industrialization once formed the central pathway to prosperity, lifting countries such as South Korea and China to high incomes. Yet automation, concentrated supply chains, and shifting trade patterns are narrowing that route. The central question now is how developing economies grow without large-scale manufacturing employment.

The United States now leads global oil production with about 9,977 TWh in 2024, ahead of Russia (6,122) and Saudi Arabia (5,933). This dominance did not come from new giant oil fields but from the shale revolution. Technologies like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing unlocked vast shale reserves in Texas and North Dakota. In little more than a decade, the U.S. transformed from a major importer into the world’s largest producer. Energy geopolitics, once centered in the Middle East, now has a powerful new axis in North America.

In 1985 the U.S. generated about 1,600 TWh of electricity, the EU roughly 900 TWh, and China barely 300 TWh. Four decades later China produces nearly 10,000 TWh, more than 2.5 times the U.S. (3,700 TWh) and far above the EU (1,900 TWh). Electricity is the foundation of modern industry. As China’s power supply surged, so did its factories, exports, and technological scale.

Forty years ago in Japan, births were roughly double the number of deaths. Two decades later they reached parity. Today the balance has reversed: deaths are about twice the number of births. With very low immigration, this shift has pushed Japan into a period of steady population decline.

Greenland’s geostrategic location, vast reserves of critical minerals, and increasing importance in Arctic governance have placed the island at the center of contemporary geopolitical discussions, particularly after former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the idea of acquiring the territory.
