I've just finished the initial map. Here it is:
This is the state of the world in the year 2032. This political state was caused by an exodus of almost all nations from the UN in 2024 which dramatically reduced it's power, leaving many powerful nations free to expand into neighbouring nations and take over. In North America, Mexico and Canada declared war on the USA, leaving the US President no choice but to order an attack on both nations and estabilish the NAU or North American Union. Anarchy takes hold in Central and Southern America as military rebellions become dramatically more frequent, whereby the new NAU takes action and invades. In Europe, the EU attempts to forcefully abolish the identity of it's member states and thus creates the Europa League. The Europa League expands outwards into a new maritime empire, halted eventually by the NAU and the EAU and the crippling invasion of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In Africa, military coups manage to overthrow all governments and estabilish the Arfikaa nation, now struggling to hold off the Saudi advance. Across the north of Asia, Russia sees it's oppertunity and invades neighbouring nations en mass, forming the mighty Russian Empire. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia aggresively expands into the rest of the Arabian Peninsula, successfully defeating the Europa League and the Russian Empire. In the Far East, Japan becomes militarised and manages to conquer a large sphere of territories, known as the EAU or Eastern Asian Union. It meets substantial resistance by the Europa League, the Russian Empire and Greater Korea who all manage to push them onto the defensive.
I've noticed that it's impossible to identify the smallest islands due to resolution. Here's the links to each individual island group:

The Undying.
By the year 2050, the Russian Empire has been totally conquered. OWA territorial pacts have transformed most nations into hyperpowers, with the exception of Afrikaa and the Europa League, given sovereignty out of regard for their state-dependant societies and cultures. Meanwhile, Kyogre is publically rumoured to have been sighted in Madagascar...
All mus sign the Treaty of Moscow. This Divides Russia between Siberia, given to the EAU, and Eurussia, to the Europa Leauge. Madagascar is left as it is, and the KSA (If you want, renamed the North African Coalition) is not to interfere. No one is to break this pact. If one country does so, all other countries are to engage the turned hostile state. All countries must agree to this treaty...

good, now I can finally start my research into extraplanetary resource bases. should take only a couple of years until I have a lunar/martian colony. i have also required vertical growing techniques in giant hydrophonic "farm skyscrapers" in my territories.
EDIT: some spelling mistakes
To maintain the recognition of the government, I'm going to keep the state name as the KSA and instead rename my African colonial bloc under this title.
Seizing Madagascar's limited economy is not a national interest. Even if it was, I'm confident that trade would suffice.
What if the majority of the nations or a dominant hyperpower were to break the pact? In addition to laws, I recommend intensifying globalisation, increasing the usage of off-shore treasuries and pooling the resources of each nation. This way, nations won't have the resources to start a war. On a side note, by pooling resources we can perform fully co-ordinated and lateral actions on global issues. The only problem is where to put the resources, as a host country could steal the pooled resources.
This is a grammatical error. Were you looking for the word 'hydroelectric'?
nope its hydroponic. dirtless growing techniques. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponics
Agreed....
...not before us! We shall have colonies in space before you! *And thus, the Frontier Age of space trevel begins*
I have taken the same schematics from you. Thanks to our EAU friends, they agreed to a joint colonization of both Luna and Mars. We also see many asteroids as potential resources, thus we shall also start mining operations simultaneous to the colonies. Finally, we will build space towers in order to cut sending building material into outer space in half!
I'm sure the KSA will form many businesses from space, as well as the EAU.
WHAT?!!!! Why should I give all that land to them? What do they need it for? I conquered that land! It was only on your insistance that I didn't conquer the whole Europa Leauge! What do I owe them? I am (probably) the most powerful nation in the world! On a side note, will Afrikaa join the OWA?
Samurye.
meh i dont really care. ive got the crops to support my poulation and slowly wean myself off of everything but biofuels and other greener technologies for my civilian vehichles. Fortunately the LHC survived the war, so im also begining construction of a rudimentary magenetically confined plasma generator in the now empty farmlands to power it (if only because i dont have enough lasers to do it that way.)
The privatisation of space marks the beginning of the UGA. However, we're still a long way from the collaboration of the 31st century, and we must be careful not to spark a space war.
Probably, but not if Kyogre is the head of government by now.
A global NAP against minor nations is in effect on moral grounds.
2053--
the europa league has finished construction on its fusion plant and has fired up the LHC again. noting the amount of excess power produced by their plant they begin plans for railgun launched spacecraft, stripping most of the cost of launching to space away.
realizing the ramifications of building a masive railgun in their back yard, the europa league will share the plans for the launching device and the ships to all major allies.
At a OWA meeting in Tokyo, the EAU, now renamed the Rising Sun Republic, unveils several new projects: A solar energy collection array that will orbit the sun to provide energy for sustainable production of antimatter, and a joint RSR/NAU plan to construct a massive Space Colony, named Brighter Dawn, which would be assembled piece by piece from materials mined from the surface of the moon by a Lunar base. Also revealed were plans for the terraforming of Mars and Venus, as well as colonization efforts on the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
*Spy planes are sent to survey Afrikaa.*
During the same meeting the EL announced plans to build a massive telescope array on the dark side of the moon, "to begin a real search for extrasolar habitable planetary bodies". In addition they have developed a proprietary "solar sail" technology to get their own space intrests going, such as the colonization of Pluto and Charon and the harvesting of the kuiper belt and sol's oort cloud.
KSA spy sattelites begin surverying RSR spy planes over Madagascar.
I am the statistician and aerospace engineer you will need for this. I'm not a professional, however.
well he could have had all the professional stats people if he hadnt purged the isles
What isles? What purging?
Why? Don't you trust me? What do you expect me to do?
Okay, you are hired.
First, This is the starting point for the UEF, not UGA (UGA doesn't come in untill the 2500s)
Second, Okay. The borders of the RSR and the EL do not move. However, don't go flaunting your power around just because you have the technological and populational advantage. You still can't handle the entire world coming at you.
Third, a mass driver has already been developed by the NAU as the main launching platform for all space-borne craft from the surface (located at JFK Space Center & LEO Spaceport)
Fourth, the NAU revealed at the Tokyo OWA Aerospace & Astromining Conference, a plan to build a massive colony on the moon, named "Armstrong City" after the first man to step on Luna. Also, the NAU announced thet the first shipment of resources from the three newest asteroid mines are just arriving, solidifying the NAU as a major space contender. It also revealed plans for fully commercializing space mining and building within five years, thus allowing space to be available to the mass media. Finally, the NAU has announced plans for three additional mass drivers to be built in Houston, Texas, Rommelton, California, and San Modelno, Chile.
how are you powering this railgun let alone 4? the power requirements would have to be massive and i dont recall seeing you have the power to run them. not complaining just pointing out some flaws in your plan.
either way Colonization of the Plutonic pairing and exploitation of the outer rim astroids is going smoothly.
Well, I still trust you and your nation as a whole, but the spying incident is in violation of the Treaty of Moscow. Are you sure you need to spy on them?
Shouldn't that be the Earth Empire?
The Undying,
I am just trying to discover the whereabouts of Kyroge.
Here is the latest update on the RSR space program:
The RSR also begins gathering rescorces in space, to fuel it's space program.
Space probe missions are planned to search for Extrasolar planets sighted by the Europa Leauge's Lunar telescope.
Scientists at the National Aerospace and Extrasolar Research Agency in Kyoto, develop a superbacteria that would greatly speed up the terrraforming of Venus, as well as a geneticaly modified plant that could exponintialy increase the speed at which oxygen was created on Mars.
A way is also found to produce Antimatter at a much lower cost in energy, and the solar panel array in orbit around Sol provides enough energy for the RSR to produce large quantities of antimatter.
A plan for a mass driver is approved.
A program is put in motion to colonize Phobos and Deimos.
A Mercury colony is also planned. A Lunar city, a counterpart to Armstrong city is proposed.
A plan is created for the construion of multiple space colonies.
An Antarctic colony is planned, as part of a move to claim the entire continent for the RSR, as a means to help prevent overpoulation due to the massive increase in birth rates.
This Antarctic colony, along with the Lunar base, the terraforming of Venus and Mars, the construction of the Space Colonies, and the colonization of Phobos and Deimos, should assure that the poulation will live comfortably for years to come.
The UEF eventually, in the 2300, becomes the Earth Empire after a millitary coup' takes place by a Milliitary general believing that the only way one can get things done is to have one person rule all (that person being him, Emperor Trenton). This leads to the last civil war between humans, resulting in the Earth Empire's defeat in the late 2500, and the formation of the United Galactic Allience.
As for the Mass Driver, Simple Magnetic levitation. The entire mass driver design was made to use as little power as possible, and requires two nuclear reactors. We have enough materials to build three more, howeverr my people complain that it's a waste of money. Thanks to the new amendment to the constitution, allowing for presidents to a "Three-term maximum" insted of just two, I have 2 more years, and another term, to go. I should be able to compensate for the mass drivers with increased ship production, and plans to build a massive shipyard in space, as well as a spaceport on Mars. In five years, Armstrong city will be completed, and in 10 years, the massive shipyard.
-Noobs in Spaaaaacccceeee!!
Why don't you just remove the amendment that even puts a limit on your terms? If they love you enough that you can be certain of reelection halfway through your current term, they would gladly have you continue to lead them even longer, right?
In order to protect the world, I have decided to bring the full force of y military to bear on Afrikaa. I will not engage them in battle, but I will attack if they try to harm anyone. All of my missles are pointed at Afrikaa, all of my missle submarines are just off the coast, every ship in my navy is waiting just offshore, and all of my military aircraft are on my mile long ultracarriers, which are just offshore ou of range of ground based artillery. My army is prepared to deploy at a moments notice. I am only doing this to ensure that Afrikaa dosen't attack anyone.
Ah, I forgot about that guy. By all means then, keep spying.
The term of presidency in the US is 12 years max, depending on elections every 3 years. Putting that down to two or three years is way too short for government policies to take effect, while policies often become obselete after around 12 years.
I don't quite understand your meaning.
plans for hydogen processing plants in orbit around the gas giants have begun taking shape as well as a refinery on titan for additional thruster fuels (they dont like canola oil as much as some other things).
