Amnesia Syndrome (アムネジア・シンドローム, Amuneshia Shindorōmu?) is an infectious disease known to be spread among humans in the World of Fate/EX.
Characteristics
Amnesia Syndrome was first identified in the 21st century. The means of infection uncertain, it is thought by one theory to spread through the collective unconscious of humans. Hakuno Kishinami refers to it as a Corrective Filter of the Human Order.[1] It is a virus affecting the nerves in the brain, causing those infected to gradually begin to lose awareness of the "boundary line between themselves and other people." The final progression of the disease causes them to lose all awareness of their memories and causes them to die.[2]
There were numerous people infected by Amnesia Syndrome. Treatment was being developed by a scientist in 1970, but his passing brought the research to a standstill.[2] Surgical intervention was possible around 1999, but Twice H. Pieceman was the only one capable. After his death, it was determined only indefinite cryogenic storage until another surgeon can replicate Twice's procedure was the only method of prolonging an afflicted person's life.[3] There was a vaccine developed as of 2030.[2]

History
In 1999, a horrible infectuous neurological disease broke out in a city located in the Far East,[3] that is, Amnesia Syndrome.[2] Based on the available evidence, the cause of the outbreak was a biological weapon created by terrorists. According to records made available to the public, the death toll was set at 5,000 people, but it actually was at 8,200.[3] With this disaster, Japan fell into anarchy and became a ruined country.[4] The societal system, along with most cities, got destroyed and people started scattering all over the wasteland.[5] The Western European Plutocracy provided aid to those looking to leave Japan as refugees once it became a failed state,[4] to the point that someone like Kazuhito Sakagami, born of two Japanese parents after the collapse of the Japanese state, never once set foot there.[6]

Amnesia Syndrome is an infectious disease identified in the 21st century.
It is a virus that violates nerves in the brain. Those infected with this disease gradually lose awareness of the boundary line between themselves and other people. Ultimately they lose all awareness of their memories and it ends their lives.
A large number of people have been infected, yet it still remains unclear how infection occurs. According to one theory the infection spreads through the collective unconsciousness of the people.
In 1970, a treatment was being developed by a certain scientist, however he died and the research remained at a standstill for many years. In 2030 a vaccine was developed.アムネジア•シンドローム【病名】

[] Fate/EXTRA Sound Drama 2 Bonus Drama Sakura: It is common knowledge that the West European Zaibatsu controls 60% of the modern world. Its directly-controlled territory of Western Europe is stable by means of a completely controlled society, and the aristocracy has come back into existence. In comparison, America has become a failed state and is quite frankly a lawless land. Certain persons of interest fled to South America and planned to reorganize, but were met with opposition from the South Americans and have been driven into a corner. The Middle East was still plagued by internal strife, and was unprepared for the seizure of Jerusalem by the West European Zaibatsu, throwing it into terrible panic. It was thought that the seizure of the religious foundation would lead to all-out war, but the Middle-Eastern countries no longer had the power to retake Jerusalem, and it was all they could do to unite to hold back the West European Zaibatsu's expansion at the borders.
Archer: I see. So those are the circumstances in which Tohsaka Rin is helping the resistance in the Middle East.
Sakura: Yes. By the way, Tohsaka-san's home ground is fairly close to the Atlas Institute where Rani-san lives.
Saber: What of Asia, where my Maestro's home ground presumably lies? To what extent is the influence of the West European Zaibatsu?
Sakura: The various Asian countries are constantly engaged in skirmishes over resources. Starting with a disaster at the end of the 20th century, Japan fell into anarchy and became a ruined country. The West European Zaibatsu, which extols management of human rights, apparently provides aid to those looking to leave Japan. Since resources are everything in this world, the Chinese considered it pointless to conquer a resourceless island country and left it alone, but the West European Zaibatsu considers human resources important too, and see Japanese people as a good resource, so they want to preserve their education level. Among them, Kishinami-san is... ah, no, this is a spoiler, so let's talk about this once the story has progressed a bit more.
Caster: You mentioned resources, but the world is at war, right? In that case, can people really leisurely play games and such? Actually, how far has technology progressed? Wouldn't science and technology change as a result of war?
Sakura: The technology, apart from space development technology having drastically halted, is about the same level as the real world. There are cell phones and smartphones as normal, and as evidenced by how Shinji-san is known as an online game champion, regions controlled by the West European Zaibatsu have a complete infrastructure set in place. However, the earth's population has decreased to about half of the real world's population. This is due to the war as well as the West European Zaibatsu controlling even the birth rate.
Saber: I see. In that case, people are the same as cattle. I can understand why Tohsaka Rin has such antagonism towards Leo. - ↑ Fate/EXTRA CCC - Nameless Route - Chapter 7: The Depths of the Holy Maiden - Anima Ataraxia. -
