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.
Meanwhile in the Former West Indies...
With the invasion of the NAU going seemingly well for the Europa leauge, the main military has been pulled back to the Frontlines in the North leaving only a small EL task force to police the islands. However a polotical orginization that Predates even the NAU annexation of Mexico has waited for this precise moment. Within the span of a single night ALL EL forces have been either elimanated or overrun by a far inferior force. Once the EL was out of the way, the unified states of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and the populace of the Lesser antellies combined into one unified state: the Rouge Order of Greater Unified Emaiciates (R.O.G.U.E for short). With the Technology of the Captured EL forces alongside former NAU soilders now dissilusioned with the Republican like handeling of the war against the EL, the Rouges appeal to the Arabia Syndicate for monetary assistance. That, and the fact that logistics support left behind by EL forces and a warehouse full of Heavily Updated SSN-39 short range Nuculear Missles (left behind from a loophole of the historical Cuban Missle Crisis) means that the Rogues arent to be taken lightly. That, and the fact that Multiple EL com sattelites have been hacked into and now are being used against their former masters. This might come in handy for the Arabian Forces fighting in South America.
The Rouge Order Awaits word from the Arabian Government
The Great Emporor:
Tokyo?! Tokyo?! Have the Japanese completely forgotten their honor?! You monster! You speak with the guise of a benevolent friend, but I see your plan! We would have peace, blessed peace, but you demand war! You take your people from the happy, contenet lives that they should be living and force them into suffering, and attemt to bring the world to ruin and chaos! You would see the last tatters of civility burn and the peoples of the world once again kill each other for selfish gain! You tempt many with your promises of freedom, but you would have them be slaves and murderers! You will pay for every drop of blood that you have caused to be shed unnecessarily!
*The RSR distributes counter-propoganda, and begins a campaign against those who would see the world crumble back a century, to violence for the sake of violence, and killing for the sake of killing. Rebelions are put down in the continental RSR, as joint KSA/EL/RSR forces drive toward Bombay.*
Samurye.
Attempting to sell captured EL stallites to the KSA? You are ignorant of the situation, my enemy.
Do you mean the Arabian Kingdom, because the Syndicate is under the control of my nation the UDF.
Istanbul, Former Arabian Kingdom Territory of Turkey.
"Do not listen to the shallow words of the false rulers of the RSR, my children! We only seek to bring democracy back into the world! Tell me, when is the last time you have been free? Is freedom not worth fighting for? Is liberty not a just cause to spill blood and to wage war?
I only seek to create a better world. Yes, I know I have upset the ballance, I have upset the peace. But it was a false peace, a peace in which each day was full of restrictions. When was the last time you felt in control? When the people you did not elect did not tell you what to do?!I tell you now, citizens of the world, I seek peace and liberty, and I will only do so without war only if the super powers lay down their own arms and accept my message.We stand now, having overtaken the entire Arabian Penninsula, on the verge of a full scale invasion of Europe and former Russia! Our enemies in the RSR, however, can no accept our success and therefore seek to take our capital from us, to raid India itself. We will not allow this! We will not despair!
As I speak to you now, my friends, nuclear missles descend on Tokyo and Beijing. Their government shall be at my knees begging for mercy within hours!"
Nuclrea missles hit Beijin and Tokyo killing nearly 5 million people and destroying much of the government of the RSR.
The next day after the nuclear attack Indian troops manage to halt RSR advances at the former border of Loas. The UDF approaches the Arabian Kingdom and the RSR with talks of peace.
And why do we need a new democracy? What restrections have we imposed? How did your missles get through my shield? What unelected rulers do you speak of? All of your doctrin is a LIE! A falsehood to ensnare the people of the world! (Woah, now I feel like one of those protesters in Salt Lake on Conference day) You would kill those that you so care about for no reason other than that they did not agree with you! You use nuclear missles, indescriminatte of those that you murder by the millions! If you want a massacre, I'll give you one! Lay down your weapons, and cease this madness! Talk with us. What have we done wrong? Why do you hate us so? Once again: What are these restrictions you speak of? What unelected rulers are you ranting about? Why do we need a new democracy? How do you intend to create a better world? By destroying it? You think that you are saving them. But you are dooming them to a life of incomprehensible suffering.
*The RSR agrees to the peace talks*
I am talking about how these mega-unions of nations have taken away the people's cultural identity. How no nation has soveirgnty anymore, no nation truly controls its people or its destiny.
India was ruled by politicians from distant places and cities. Who ruled us changed from year to year because of petty squables between super powers. I seek to restore the worlds as it was, diverse and full of different nations and opinions. I barely extended into sovereign RSR territory when you threatened my capital, when you threatened my entire movement for change. The millions who died from the nuclear blasts will not be forgotten, they will be remembered in the hearts and minds of every citizen of this planet.
Though I seek to decentralize the world, I also want unity within the world. And overarching union. But I doubt that the other nations will agree with me. UDF is willing to enter into an allaince with the RSR as full and equal partners, only if the RSR promises soveirgnty for every nation within its borders.
Let the locals rule themselves in your lands, I shall do the same. And I will lay down my arms against you, and only use them against those who oppose both of us.
How about a United States style Union? One country, different districts, each with a district governor. A group of culturally different states united politically as a whole. A nation in which individuality and a collective identity can walk hand in hand.
how about coming to peace with You two also? Remember, i have a crack group of subersion hackers. I dont Need to go through the shield, i can just turn it off! Also im not selling anything, i just need the cash to rebuild infastructure.
As a peace offering, i can have my technicians work with your guys to make your comm systems more streamlined and hack free. Think about this while i get ready to assult Florida
And Florida is Mine! It was a bit scary with those Kinetic drivers but once those were silenced, it was a simple matter of running up to the EL troops and bitchslapping them untill they surrendered. Course i had showed them little mercy. A few shipyards, industry areas, and Cape Canaveral along with some experimental Force shields that can block orbital strikes . Did i mentioned i now have kinetic Mass drivers at my disposal!
I think i should start swinging my forces Westward to liberate mexico. You also might want to keep an eye on New york and Chicago. There are rumors starting.....
That's why I implanted an enslavement bug into your brain. Starting today, it is set to explode with nuclear force at intervals of 5 days, during which lapses in explosions it will repair itself and piece it's victim back together to prepare for the next explosion. I don't quite know why I programmed it to explode, but I guess it's just an ixy.
2075
@Mr. Blunt3d: Florida was annihilated, so subjugation is impossible, however I am able to grant control over the northern fringe of Florida. Sorry about that.
@The Evil Emperor: The KSA is a carceral state, which means a nation-wide prison, therefore I can isolate individual zones and put down a rebellion inside them. Rebellion is all but impossible.
In 2069, I began work on a huge new state capital, however future construction plans are now imperilled by agents of the socialist rebellion in eastern Africa. The original motherland has been captured, and I won't be active until Crimson City is finished.
I don't quite understand how rebellions were started in my nation either. I mean, how do you turn loyal citizens against their country with a few words? Most of the UDF propaganda didn't make sense either. I don't see how president of India came about either. Do you think that we could change all that to make more sense? As for R.O.G.U.E., they will be dealt with swiftly. Bombs away!
P.S. The_Undying: you still haven't changed the map to show my regained European territories!
its a pity that peace cannot be at hand. but it gets better! did you know that when your missles come within 50 miles of Rouge territory they magically fall from the sky as little more than Multi ton paperweights? From there they can be retooled and used against you! Oh Cmon, i tried appealing for peace! but if war is what you want than that is what you will get.
On another note, our campaign in Central America is successful and our forces are currently in Monterrey Mexico gaining 10 miles an hour. The Rustbelt area of the Former NAU has pledged allegiance to ROGUE and further assults have all but cut off EL forces from their supply lines. We plan to control the Tennessee Valley by week's end.
It seems that EL Computer systems are unusually open to Subversion by our specilaists, and the fear its generating is sheer panic. i can relate a report from Chicago when a fireteam came across a tank group about to flank from the east by Addison Avenue. When a small imput code to automatically open the hatches were sent, the tank crews inside immeadiately fled their tanks in less time to say "GTFO". If that wasnt enough, we just sent their Stock Market into a recession not seen since the Depression. With The Shock and awe beginning to take their toll, we just Had to see if RSR units were similarly affected. to our suprise they are even MORE so.
we expect our banner to be flying in the heart of Dixie pretty soon
I call New England!
When did you ask for peace? Also, you seem to be reveling in your "technologies" How do they work, hmm? How do you disable a ballistic missle? How do you open hatches on a tank? You don't seem to have any research to back up your claims of superiority.
India was a semi-autonomous state that could elect its own president. However, the president was usually a figerhead until the election of Gandhi the Second.Lets just say that the citizens of the world had become disenfranchized and distrustful of the super powers. The riots in Tokyo and the rest of the world were started by fringe groups that were already presen. Most of your citizens are still loyal except in conquered states like Australia, the US, and Russia. Thats why I didnt actually have anyone revolt in any of your homelands, that would of course not make any sense at all.
Now for my speech.
"Dear citizens of the world, the time of our liberation is almost at hand! Today, the UDF will launch a coordinated attack against Europe and Russia, reclaiming the former Western World and reestablishing the freedom that the countries here once had!"
The UDF forces failed at capturing Greece but suceeded in a naval invasion of Italy, Spain and Ukraine. The UDF also extended a hand of friendship towards the KSA saying that it will allow pilgrims and citizens of the KSA full access to religious sites and to travel permits to visit relatives.
As for the Union styled type Union I would agree, accept that each state at its own choosing will also be allowed to have a legislature.
The year is now 2070 and the UDF elections are only a few weeks away. No opposition has yet to rise against Gandhi. However, this was the year when the public was promised by him to have elected legislatures and leaders in each member state.
Also the newly elected prime minister of the former Arabian Syndicate indicated that he will provide financial backing to ROGUE. However, he has dissapeared earlier this month on a trip to India. The UDF government had declared him deceased. The President of the UDF apologizes and wishes to infrom ROGUE that the funding will be provided once a new election takes place within the Syndicate.
So now you're attacking me and the EL? Seriously people. I thought that you wanted peace. It would seem that you actually want worldwide conflict. Assaulting neighboring countries, supporting rebels. Will you never cease to say one thing and do another?
i did, and i even offered to make your computer systems nearly impervious to hacking in any form. But then you post "Bombs Away" so i see that as a declaration of war. If you still want peace, then i will be more than happy to oblidge.
As far as the Hacking goes, dont forget that the NAU put cyber Schools and Advanced officer training centers in the islands. Mix the two with a deep hatred for Both the NAU and EL and a natural mistrust of neighboring nations enables my forces to so far continue with this Blitzkreig style of fighting. That and the fat that EL forces crap their pants when we get near also helps.
To go on a technical level, We use the intercommunicating pathways that make all armies Netrocentric as backdoors "or Back Tubes if you use the internet a lot" From there we can bypass almost all the firewalls that have been put up. depending on what we want to imput as command codes we can turn off force shields, send ballistic missles off their original flight plan, and crash entire economies. Not much you can do without our help besides stopping all communications and reverting back to Morse code (which we can intercept)
basically, We're a big deal. and if you mess with us in the wrong way.....Resistance is well......you get it. We like to go for peace simply because if we get too many enemies we wouldnt last very long in our state. although our armies are strong our infastructure is barely keeping up with demand (think, Why would i try to get the Rustbelt states, Great Plains, Tennessee Valley, and Souther Mexican Farmlands?) and we "borrow" many EL and NAU technologies.
Oh and we got that RSR vehicle from the black market. you should try to crack down on them
The RSR and EL, deciding that the UDF is indeed a threat to the world at large, decide to do something. Approximately 1 billion troops, flash cloned in the EL and armed with equipment mass produced in the RSR, march in to UDF territory. The objective of battle is different this time. Instead of trying to destroy the opposition, these soldiers are trained to kill as little as possible, and capture as many prisoners as they can with no harm. To accomplish this task, they are armed with revolutionary "stn guns" which cxan stop a target without any lasting effects. In the initial deploymnt of these forces (at night), several UDF bases were taken without a single casualty on either side.
Okay, peace is fine with me. I guess I just didn't understand what you meant, or I read it too fast. We haven't actually attacked you yet. As for that RSR vehicle... what the heck are you talking about? On a side note, I still don't quite understand how you wreck our missles. By the time they come within 50 miles they are flying on momentum and gravity alone. Nothing that you can do short of blowing them up can stop them. If you just made them fall out of the sky anyway, they would still explode. But it dosen't matter, unless you decide that you want to keep on attacking. All I want is world peace.
Today i am happy to report that ROGUE forces have officially met Arabian forces in western colombia. After a Breif handshake between soilders of both sides, the commanders of both armies agreed to create a "Buffer" zone between Rouge and Arab held territories untill the two governments formally declare peace (after the new election)
In other news, the Rogue banner flies high over Galveston tonight as EL forces formally withdraw both weaponless and Spritless, their Morale having been utterly crushed. The current Situation with NAU forces remain tense pending any reaction from the other side.
The Siege of Mexico City has ended in Victory today, leaving a small force of EL troops in between two Rogue Armies.
In Local News, the Fortress at EL Morro has finished updating to modern standards, becoming the Primary command center for all Rogue forces in the Hemisphere. Alongside El Morro, the naval bases at Guantanamo Bay and Vieques were reopened to provide additional defense for the Local islands. Government officialls were said to be developing a New generation fighter to compliment our current air force which comprimises of EL fighter bombers, NAU interceptors, and antiquadated F22 raptors and Harrier STOL fighters. While details werent officially discussed, Reports suggest that it will have the capability to use advanced portable Force Barrier technology and have Space Flight Capability.

As you can see in my post i offered you and the KSA peace. I dont want worldwide conflict, but I will expand my territory to free the people of the world.
With that said here is another news bulletin.
This is a World News Report, coming to you directly from New York City.
It was only days ago that the UDF overtook the Italian penninsula and sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Their advance has prompted a coordinated attack from the EL and RSR. The UDF extended a hand of friendship to the RSR only a year ago, a call that the RSR promptly ignored.
The RSR troops have retaken parts of Turkey and have started a slow advance through the Alps towards Rome where Ghandi the Second was last sighted. "He was rambling about some prophecy, about some spiritual thing, he entered Vatican City and didn't come back out," stated UDF Senior General of Staff Al Whitley.
Vatican City has since them been declared off limits and surrounded by UDF troops. Tons of technology stolen from the RSR and the EL has made its way inside the City and several power outages have happened in the area.
In other news the newly elected Shaikh of the Arabian Syndicate has sworn full financial backing to the ROGUE state of the Carribean if they swear alliegance agains the EL and the RSR. The Shaikh is also willing to provide his fast stockpiles of weapons and oil to the desperate state.
well peace is good with us. Consider us allies
Bah, there will always be a Black market. all I need is someone in your army who decides that he wants to make a little money. He reports the vehicle destroyed, he gets another, he sells the old Vehicle to a gun runner, gun runner sells to me.
I dont mean Nuculear missles, Standard Criuse Missles. They have an operational range of about 100 miles and fly close to the ground toward their target. Nukes have to go into space first, then descend from low orbit to the target area.
We promise to back all Arabian forces with Logistic capabilities as well as Technical support. Although we have recently made peace with the RSR, we continue to undermine the efforts of the EL quite effectively.
[quote who="TheGreatEmperor" reply="21" id="2158735"]
It appears that we have had a bit of a communications breakdown. What I understand to be happening is this: You want to have peace. I understand that. Here is what I don't get: you want to have peace and still invade our territory. How do you expect us to live peacefully and not take up arms agianst you when your troops are marching in and seizing our land? Do you expect us to sit idly by while you take over our countries? I still want peace, but I will not just let you walk in and take whatever you want. If you want peace, then stop attcking me!
i thought that western Europe was under the control of the EL
