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.
Basically, I'm suggesting a 12 year term for UEF leaders.
2060--
The EL has discovered a system of "fast cloning" thus revitalizing the populations of the plutonic pairing and the EL proper, as well as fast tracking further colonization efforts.
Researchers on pluto have discoverd a new alloy that can superconduct at up to 100 degrees farenheit. This instigates the third industrial revolution in europa and her territories as well as strip down power requirements on Railgun technologies.
plasma containment technologies have been improve moving away from magnetic confinement towards laser comnfinement. This shift in addition to using superpure hydrogen from the giants have tripled the power output of our fusion generators.
Unless it is to be used on livestock, I forbid you to clone human beings. It will dramatically increase the birth rate of our population and nearly nullify the death rate, not to mention the reprocussion it would have on one's Identity. I say we call a meeting to this matter, to discuss human cloning...
As for fuel, Sure, we've found a way to 'make' antimatter, but we need to find a way to effectively utilize it's energetic properties (I think we should wait another 30-40 years before we find a way to safely utilize antimatter). And with gas giant mining, i've found Helium-3 with Hydrogen very effective...
In 2061, the Rommelton Shipyard is completed, starting it's production of spaceships to move throughout the cosmos. Using Helium-3/Hydrogen Fusion Cores, more starships were produced with more efficient engines, able to reach a distance from Earth to Mars in about four days, insted of the old, two-week timeframe.
Also completed was the Moritt space tower on Yeshing colony, Mars. The Aldren space tower was also completed in Armstrong city, Luna. With a plan to interconnect each colony in a network of transit tunnels, the NAU requests a (literally) revolutionary Idea: that Luna itself should be given it's own sovereignty
He-3 or tritium? im fine with lunar independance as long as i dont have to go to war with them over my telescope array. otherwirse i will use human cloning and annex their asses.
What about my Lunar colonies? What will happen to them?
Samurye.
My nation is a fallen hyperpower. My military might is renderd useless by the remaining hyperpowers, my technological advantage is long gone, and the RSR economy is failing. Our main export, oil, has been almost entierly replaced by alternative fuels, our tecnology, once much sought after, has now been surpased, thus killing our second major export. Our large capacity for mass production is being suffocated by massive booms in space manufactured materials, being made by space stations in other countries, thus taking away much of our work. With tens of millions out of jobs and our income drasticlaly decreased, my country is entering into a depression. To make matters worse, a large numer of people are blaming their misfortune on the Western nations, and calling for a government change. My country has fallen from being the most powerful nation on Earth to being the second weakest, and is not adjusting well. My nation is rapidly deteriorating, and all I can do is watch.
well just because I feel bad for you I will start research into confined and controlled antimatter-matter reactions using room temperature superconductors as a confinement array.
December 7 2061: The Day of the Fourth Horseman.
The RSR rebels finally make their move. With the assistance of high ranking officials in the RSR military, an attack of unprecedented scale is launched. A specialy fitted nuclear missle is launched at Armstrong City, annihalating everyoone inside. The Brigher Dawn, full of NAU citizens and "traitor" RSR citizens is hijacked and dropped out of orbit directly above Washingto D.C., destroying the city. The EL is hit with a massive nuclear attack. While most of the missles were destroyed by space-based defenses, some got through and wreaked havoc on major cities. In the RSR all government offices are being bombed, almost at the exact same time, while thousands of Armed troops descend upon Tokyo, killing all high ranking govenment officials in the city. Mass drivers and Space Elevators all over the NAU are bombed, along with many important buildings and monuments. The Hawaiian islands, specificaly Pearl Harbor, are targeted by stolen bombers. Long range railgun artillery in northeastern RSR territory are fired at Alaska, destroying everything within their significant range. The RSR loyalists, now without a leader, begin to grasp what is happening, Rebel broadcasts confuse many troops and ships into preparing to attck the new "Enemy".
Samurye
*well damn didnt see that one coming.*
In direct response to these attacks the EL has activated its emergency cloning vats pumping out massive numbers of soldiers in a few weeks. immediately following the buildup of troops and hypersonic railgun munitions the EL launches a massive invasion along the RSR-EL border into russia. In addition the Hydrogen miners on jupiter have been tasked with straping some fusion rockets onto asteroids and haver been targeted at all RSR Railgun artillery and munitions dumps.
A strike force composed of the military clones guarding the lunar telescope have been redeployed to take control of RSR antimatter manufacturing facilities in an attempt to mitigate the potenial damage caused by unrestricted matter-antimatter annihilation.
Fortunately due to extreme range the population centers on Pluto and her moons remain relatively unaffected and continue to be the research and population hubs of the europa intra-solar empire. Unfortunately the work on antimatter propulsion is still in the hypothetical stages so any military units originating from that end of the system will have weeks to reach the battle .(solar sails only work in one direction)
RSR loyalist forces meet up with the EL troops moving in to the country. The loyalists offer all their troops, planes, and ships (including their ultracarriers) to the EL forces. The rebels, not expecting a counterattack of this scale,are easily driven back for a while, until they seriously entrench and are able to bring their military might to bear.
*With WWIV breaking out, and the death of NAU president Gregor D. Trenton due to the Brighter Dawn Catastrophe, The NAU ordered every kinetic bolt of the NAU launched on highly populated areas of the RSR. Five kinetic bolts reduce RSR capital of Tokyo into nothing more but craters. Every space tower leading to RSR territory is hit by these kinetic bolts. New Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong Pyramid, Sidney, Crater City, extremly populated areas of the RSR, are quickly reduced to nothing but large craters and smoldering buildings. This angered not only the RSR, but other countries as well, except for the EL, which demanded retribution for the destruction of New London, Parisa, and Leipzig. The RSR answered with the Invasion of Ancorage and the bombing of San Francisco. A symbol of this destruction is the remaining ruins of the Golden Gate Bridge, It's two pillars still standing, but much of the road fallen in the waters below...
A top secret development is in the works within the EL, a dark secret that will change the face of Earth forever....*
"I know not what weapons WWIII will be fought with, but I know WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones" - Albert Einstein.
Wow, we appear to have reached a total crisis. A new map will be coming soon, so please don't bomb me.
On a seperate note, I'm working on yet another fiction, with maps built from the sprites of Advance Wars 2. The first map (I may decide to design more) centers around the quarreling fragments of a powerful civilisation, in an era of technology and society equivalent to that seen in FFXII (http://www.finalfantasyxii.com/). However, I won't reveal this one quickly, so that there is time to finish the two other fictions.
Umm, that really dosen't help. The remaining RSR loyalist forces are working with the EL in trying to regain control of the government, which has been hijacked by rebels. It would really help if you would kill the rebel leaders who perpetrated these horrible acts instead of killing innocent civilians who would actually help save the world from these extremist idiots. Just a thought.
hmm well given i am unaware of this deep dark secret i shall pump out a few techies to reexamine all cloning vats and maintain secrurity protocals on all mainframes. in addition i have tasked the remaining civilian police forces with rooting out any possible chance of foreign intelligence agents and sramble the passcodes on every file pertaining to anything of technological importance.
Also
assuming the long range artillary can reach that far why would the rebels want to invade a wasteland?
I think that whoever ordered the attacks on the RSR should be put on trial, or at least removed from office, as they showed very poor judgement. I mean, his country is being blasted by railguns, nukes are being fired, and the largest a massive space city just crushed his capitol, and he orders a massive attack on his allies? That is grounds for impeachment in my opinion.
2062
The rebels attacked the NAU, provoking the NAU to attack both the rebels and the RSR, although why they attacked the RSR proper is unexplained. I'm hoping that Noobsauce will redirect his attacks now. Meanwhile, I maintain political neutrality in an effort to save my people from incineration. That could all change, as I know the Saiv on Earth, and how to meet with them...
Anchorage is pretty deep into Alaska, so I'm presuming that the RSR has also conquered the territory running up to it. Adding to that, I can't place the borders particularly accurately.
Also, is this constant bombing having a geographical effect i.e. is it completely destroying parts of the map?
After years of stalemating against the Rebels in the same way as my predecessors did two world conflicts ago, I apply my research into antimatter usage to bullets. These devices are a chunck of antimatter vacuum-sealed in a glass-metal that shatter on impact allowing annihilation of antimatter and matter in a semicontrolled environment. Because these are also made of metal they are easily used in the hypersonic railguns my troops use. These bullets, because of their potential effects, are kept sealed in an incredibly secure bunker miles under old london.
Now having a safe way of confinement I can begin testing on antimatter engines and antimatter power facilities.
Upon release of these bullets and shells to the EL military, shelling of rebel fortifications begins with devastating results. Entire complexes vanish in a flash of light, and anything caught in the blast is destroyed with no trace left behind. some smaller sections of land mass have evaporated like taiwan and the smaller islands in the phillipines.
Wait, years? With their government not yet stabalized, the entire world allied against them, and around 75% of the former RSR military force allied with the Loyalists, the only way I can see this war lasting years, is if the entire RSR turned joined with the rebels because of the senseless massacre of hundereds of millions of innocent civilians by the NAU, and even then, the flash loned forces of the EL along with the forces of the NAU and possibly the KSA would have steamrolled them within months, if not weeks.
only reason im getting years is because of the 2064 title on the map near as i can tell the war started in 2061.95.
i was going to suggest weeks but the map said otherwise.
The timeline advances in years because I don't use smaller measurements. I've put the previous map at 2062, while the following map is 2063.
With the nations of the pacific in tatters, now is my opportunity to violently invade everyone else, except for the EL, who I'd like to ally with.
The old government couldn't cut it, so I had a rebellion organised against my own political party. We are now the world's first official technocracy and carceral state, led by me, the autocratic Mechalord. Before the war, I've been stockpiling on tesla guns charged with positricity, which is basically anti-electricity. It produces an explosive effect every time something is zapped!
The blueprints for Saiv weaponry (courtesy of Havyavati), combined with dynamic and unrestricted research policies, has produced a large and highly technologically advanced fleet of starships. Under the technology orientated regime, it didn't take me long to discover hyperspace, so now my military can utilise instantaneous travel while other nations are stuck with normal space flight. The EL can have all this stuff, but under the condition that we unify our research and development sectors.
First stop, Luna!
HavyavatiHavyavati (full name: Havyavati Traidor Infinita) is a mysterious female figure who has appeared many times in history. Her origins are unclear, but the first record of her dates back to exactly May 1st, 1776. By this date, she was believed to have been the maid and possible mistress of Adam Weishaupt. She is mentioned in later years as the mistress of both Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre and Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just, strangely at the same time. She was reported by both men to have said that 'the end justifies the means' in her arguments against the Reign of Terror. After the death of these men, she disappears from history.
the EL has formalized its alliance with the Syndicate and provided schematics of all current and ongoing research to them. This includes our now revealed fully functional fusion powered battle mechs complete with a full modular array of weapons including antimatter warheads and bullets, reactive battle shielding ,and EMP immunity.
Battle testing has revealed no significant flaws other than the shielding takes a little while to warm up and cannot be run indefinately. Our scientests are working on a way around this but do not see it happening in the forseeable future.
Following this alliance I begin my invasion of greenland and mainland united states. the antimatter bombing results in the annihilation of long island, florida, and cuba. I also begin to push through the rebel lines into china, india, and siberia.
2064
The allied nations of the KSA and the EL continue their advance into OWA territory. Antimatter bombing runs by the EL destroy numerous landmasses in the OWA (there are loads of places under the name 'Long Island' and I couldn't decide). In space above the far eastern EAU, KSA fleets utilise their technological advantage to gain space superiority. Using antimatter seige guns, they cause catastrophic damage to the EAU below, threatening to destroy Japan if the EAU does not surrender.
You can expect it done soon in the KSA. I have abolished ethics in research, together with other limitations, massively accelerating the development of new technologies. Currently, I'm working on energy shielding that absorbs the kinetic energy of projectiles and transforms them into energy for the shielding. This also means that the projectiles will abruptly cease motion and/or not explode upon contact with the energy shielding. The shields are calibrated to allow outgoing munitions while blocking ingoing munitions. I'm developing prototypes for infantry, armor, mechs, planes, spacecraft - pretty much everything in our arsenal.
P.S. I'm the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - the dark green in the title came out as moderate green on the map. The Arabia Syndicate doesn't exist anymore; it was conquered by Russia, then half of it was annexed by me.
Okay, I repeat: The rebels would have been defeated in early 2062. I am also wondering how the KSA managed to develop these technologies without the other nations knowing. I also whonder what happened to the RSR EL alliance during the rebel crisis, and why nobody has cared about my country since, well ever. I also wonder: Why the Europa Leauge? Why does everyone care about the Europa Leauge?! the NAU had some kind of obsession with them, and now you want them to!
Not any more than the EAU, really. In fact, the NAU chose to ally with you first.
The Europa League is a pioneer of technology, and with similar interests, I chose to ally with them instead of other factions.
What are you talking about? As a hyperpower, you play a leading role on the global stage. You were crucial to the invasion of Russia and Europa - I gave you oil to keep your war machine functioning. It would be extremely wrong to consider you unimportant. Right now, you still have the industrial capacity to gain a numerical advantage over our alliance.
The EL was/is attacking the rebels. However, the EL invasion has broken the alliance. Still, I'm not completely sure if Doom Bringer is trying to attack the RSR proper, however I'm assuming he is.
I only recently started to develop these technologies. With readily available blueprints of existing Saiv tech and a very high rate of technological advancement, I was able to get these technologies quickly in the short timespan of a few years.
Realistically, the Rebels would be hidden from full military force. They can last longer by not getting into major battles. However, after 2 years, they are dying out. I wouldn't expect any more attacks.
100th post. Anyway, The_Undying, have you considered that mabey the RSR would want to join you? We would be happy to help you if it ment destroying the NAU, as my entire country wants revenge for their genocidal attack on our population. Our large supply of warriors, armed with your technology, could make this conflict end that much faster. Basically, it is a win-win situation. We want revenge and you are offering it. We have massive amounts of people, and you could use them. We only ask for two things: that you give us back our territory (You can have Alaska, though), and that we can have free trade with your nations.
