This is one of three scenarios created by someone named Jeff Head and released in the "Best of the Net" pack 2 folder in Fantastic Worlds and the Multiplayer Gold Edition of Civilization 2. I have been able to find almost no information whatsoever about this man online. The other two scenarios in this folder that were created by Jeff Head include "Mammoth" and "Paradise".

'''Mammoth''' is one of three scenarios created by an engineer named Jeff Head and released in the "Best of the Net" pack 2 folder in Fantastic Worlds and the Multiplayer Gold Edition of Civilization 2. The other two scenarios in this folder that were created by Jeff Head are [[../USA 2010|USA 2010]] and [[../Paradise|Paradise]].
 
Each of the three scenarios takes place in the near to distant future. They all share a central, alternate timeline beginning with the USA 2010 scenario. In USA 2010, following a financial collapse in 1999, the United States is taken over by a Fundamentalist Christian dictatorship by the year 2010. The rest of the world forms a "New World Order" to contain the military expansion of the United States into Canada and Mexico.

The Mammoth Scenario takes place farther into the future, where several civilizations have colonized the eponymous planet, and are, for the first time, able to expand beyond the boundaries of their initial settlements following the abrupt dissipation of harsh solar activity that had previously limited their expansion.

The Paradise Scenario has a similar premise to the Mammoth Scenario, except instead of colonizing the planet with spaceships, humans are teleported to the "Paradise" planet on a one-way trip that only transports organic matter for some reason. The resulting absence of machinery and technology results in a reversion to ancient civilization on the other side of the portal.

Recurring themes in these scenarios include hostile terrorists, aggressive nations, militarism, xenophobia, and extremely advanced technology and weapons. For some reason, nuclear weapons are not available in USA 2010 or Mammoth. Instead energy field manipulating force fields and hovercraft play a primary role in the military domain.

I don't know why, but somehow I get the feeling that Jeff Head might be an ultra-conservative libertarian. Regardless, he is a brilliant man, despite the occasional spelling error and the unexplained disregard for the laws of physics in his scenarios (Expert Systems allows Hovertanks? How?).
