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.
Western Europe is under the control of the EL.
Samurye.
given the sudden revolutions in power the EL responds viciously. shifting to a more technocratic dictatorship we have completed research into telepathic implants. this in addition to breakthroughs in quantum technologies results in the EL no longer needing Comm satelites. given this the EL hyperspatial fleet annihilates all EL satelites in orbit removing the fear of our own satlites being turned against us.
following this self mutilation we again renew mass cloning efforts and push into former KSA territories with our now nigh invulnerable mech units as the spearhead in addition orbital bombardment from my fleets annilate what was left of the caribbean after the NAU invasion and all major cities of the UDF, save the mecca. the vatican is no more thus ending the tyrrany of ghandi the second, however due quick thinking on my forces parts we managed to save his DNA , cloned and indoctrinated him, and made him leader of the EL invasion of the UDF.
we will return all former KSA lands to them upon completion of the invasion.
in respose to the "claimed" surrender of galveston it was all a trap to draw in your forces and detonante an antimatter bomb under your feet. thus ROGUE is no more.
with the vision of their savior leading their enimies to war against them the UDF has begun to question its loyalties. many of the troops begin marching with the several bilion strong EL armies, while those who did not are unwilling to fight against their comrades allowing easy invasion through to the pakistan-indian border.
I stopped my attack on the RSR awhile ago, I only want Europe now.
**Breaking News Bulletin**
Fire rained from the sky above the UDF today as EL retailated mercelesly on the revolutionary state.
"This action was necesary to restore things to the way they were before this crazed Ghandi," stated Chancellor Doombringer.
The death toll as stated by UDF officials is nearing 13 million poeple and several key territories have been lost to EL retailation including most of Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
The Vatican, contrary to EL belief, was not obliterated, though the city of Rome now lies in ruins. The Vatican itself seems to be surrounded by an impregnable shield and from within comes a strange glow that seems to have mesmerized the remaining survivors of Rome. Thousands have gathered around Vatican in what seems to be an almost zombified state.
In other news, the Midwest and the East Coast of the US have decided to form the new Republic of America, and have declared the EL to be all 'bloodthirsty heathens and genocidal maniacs."
Wait a second... we've got something coming in on the wire as we speak.
**at the ruins of Rome**
Yes, it seems that Ghandi the Second is indeed alive, we have footage of him exiting the Vatican right now... wait a minute... whats that behind him... oh goddd!!!
*video feed ends**back at the news station*
Um... it seems that we have suffered some kind of technical glitch folks.
*video feed flickers back on*
An almost unrecognizable, malformed Gandhi is visible on the screen.
"You know not what thou has wrought upon the world, Doombringer!"
*video feed cuts again*
The EL is resurgent! I was beginning to think that this day would never come! With the R.O.U.G.E. forces in mainland North America under attack, the RSR manages to save the rest of their ally's people by completely taking over all R.O.U.G.E. territories in the Gulf of Mexico. The forces of the RSR meet up with their European counterparts and begin reconquering the territory taken by the UDF. "Soon, says the national media, the Hinomaru will once more fly over Bombay."
um right since when does the vatican have a portal to hell? and besides there is almost no force on this earth or any other that can stop a massive antimatter bombardment.
mech troopers push through the republic of america in a matter of hours due to the lack of cohesiveness and assassinate all leaders who participated in the revolt and have hung their corpses as a sign to all "you dont mess with the big dogs."
with the usage of the RSR supercarrier Hirohito i begin arial strkes on mainland india and arial invasion just south of the bombay cratering.
No portal to hell, he was just augumented and fit with new technology to become the God-King of the UDF!!
Not only that, several areas within the UDF begin to transmit a brainwave frequency that pacifies any negative or violent thoughts. This effectively stops all EL and RSR attackers, but it also nullifies all UDF forces who are currently participating in drum circles with their new found friends.
Several hetherto unknown and cloaked Air Fortresses strike several EL cities with IQ bombs that reduce all residents to babling idiots. Huge swarms of metal eating insects is released over the RSR and the EL. The insects make quick work of most of the technology present in Europe and Asia. This incapacitates the UDF as well as the EL and RSR.Two skiny, tall gentleman in a flawless white suits appear at the HQs of both the EL and the RSR. "Now gentlemen, we are all at the mercy of these countless plagues that God-King Gandhi has released upon the world. Are we ready to negotiate?"
Negotiate wht?
ummm thatd be all well and good but you know 3/4 of my troopers are mandatory cyborgs. you cant fuck with that. besides i do have extraplanetary resource and r&d facilities not much you can do to them given the hyper powers control hyperspace. and um if hes a president why is he now a king?
but since you want to play dirty i unleash several hyper intelligent flesh eating bacterium into your populus i have further evacuated all EL troops to the lunar surface and begun tweaking the genetic code of homo sapiens to bettter fit the new world order i am about to create.
electromagnetic pulses rock the EL country side as the initial fusion reactor goes critical. the out flow of fused materials and electromagnetic waves shut down all known technologies within a 4000 mile radius. in addition it creates massive fires that burn through killing anything south of it that hasnt been destroyed by the flesheating bacteria. if UDF wants to continue trying to play psycological warfare games with us they should be prepared to face the consequences.
But what about me?!!!
This is getting a little ridiculous.
*Breaking News Bulletin*As billions die across the world due to actions the EL, Gandhi the Second passes away.
"When the fusion reactor went critical, millions died, we had just connected Gandhi to the Golden Throne. His mind could not stand the screams of so many. He went catatonic and passed only an hour afterward," stated head technopriest Alfred Cunning.
With the death of its leader the UDF has decided to formely surrender its western territories to the KSA and its eastern territories to the RSR.
The UDF Research department was able to release a drug that completely stopped the spread of the EL bactereum.
Yes it is. I mean seriously, we have superintelligent bacteria, happiness rays, and a freakin' killer robot Ghandi. It dosen't get much stranger than that. With the status quo now returned to normal, the NAU is finally obliterated, and the RSR military shifts its focus to the socalists in africa.
Breaking news:
RSR forces have been stonewalled outside of havana just as the first squadrons of Aquilla class fighters enter service. The Aquilla has reportedly scored in a 20 to 1 ratio with no losses at this time. In other news, as a response to the Antimatter detonation of Galveston, the government has allowed to use our now vast nuculear stockpile against Cloning centers within europe and significant targets in Japan. Reports suggest that even though some of the older weaopns miss the intended target, about 60% of cloning centers within EL held territories have been destroyed. Tokyo has also been hit along with Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kyoto,and the Emperor's palace. This was in response to the hostile takeover of Rogue liberated territories within North America. I am also happy to report that all RSR forces within South america have been eliminated and the peoples there under the helpful care of the Arabia Syndicate and Rogue.
This just in, Multiple frigate tonnage vessles of the EL spacefleet have been captured by our forces as a result of our successful Subversion hacking teams. Our cyber schools report that they have the ability to hack into the new Cyber enhancements that EL troops now have. Rogue forces within South america now race toward central america to break the siege of Havana.
There is more to report, the First use of our new subversion hacking by a naval invasion of the English isles has reported success in Jamming enemy signals with vivid images of a long forgotten Richard Astley song. This allowed our forces to easily defeat the EL just as always.
In a related story, several RSR carriers have been seized by Rogue (and after a through search for boobytraps and other devices which turned up nil) now they will lead the reclamation forces to take back North america.
2078
We can report success comerades. the entirety of the Continential United stares have been freed from the RSR just as the last remnants of the EL is pushed off the Continent. We still have a hard two front war on our hands, but our cause is just. We have come close to defeat, and we have pushed them back. WE WILL PROSPER!.
Breaking news! Ghandi the Second ISNT DEAD!
upon landing in the normandy coast, Rogue forces came across a cloning lab seemingly missed from the first assualt. What they originally thought to be a boobytrap turned out to be the Very Soul of Ghandi trapped within the confines of the Cyber world. UDF areas were and have been notified. Ghandi is currently under the Care of Rogue alongside former UDF technopreists.
I'm thinking about making some people administrators to handle the huge influx of changes to the map. The program I use is not freeware, so I'm lost on how administrators would be able to make maps identical to my own.
I can tell that some of this was influenced by Warhammer 40,000.
I agree; the biological attack on the RSR was unprovoked and should be met with international intervention.
The far western Russian territories shown in the original map are subjugated territories that originally belonged to the EL. BTW, it's the Undying now that I've removed the underscore.
This is why I persecute logocrats, I canne understand what they sayin'. Mr. Blunt3d is a logocrat in that he uses words to estabilish rebel states, however I'm sure the mainstream UDF is not a logocracy, rather a logodemocracy.
Considering that's not meant to be annoying, I will grant you New England as part of the... er... Geckodon Empire, isn't it?
The KSA is actually an ally of the RSR, so I'm not going to collaborate with ROGUE. The RSR will be returned it's territories as soon as ROGUE is ended.
Edit: the Geckodon Empire (and the Republic of America) was annihilated before I could even put it up, so you'll have to pick a different location, Seth. If Noobsauce returns, he'll probably want to take control of and relocate the Republic of America.
Vanewaite would know how to stop this chaos...
@The Undying: I was being sarcasstic. I don't want to have part in this spam fest.
Don't be so high and mighty seth. Lets not forget all of your ridiculous posts
With that the UDF annonced today that it requests all areas of the former state of India to be returned by the RSR. They will then provide the RSR with the antiboitics necessary to combat the new intelligent bacteria. Also, the UDF requests to know whether the conscience of Gandhi may be returned to the Vatican where it will be reconnected with the Golden Throne and then transported to the island of Sri Lanka.
I'll need to know where it is at the moment.
Y'know what, man, just leave. I'm happy to let you join this RP, but you're ruining it now. Don't post in here again.
2083
re invasion of north america using newly minted teleportation technologies begins with detroit, ruins of DC, LA and mexico city in additon ill agree to export the gold throne in the event that he doesnt try to invade again.
Ghandi's Golden Throne was transported today into the newly constructed temple on the Island of Sri Lanka(its the island right next to India, but I kinda want all of India as a buffer zone).
There a holographic version of the hero of the UDF said his final speec as leader of the nation.
"The world has suffered greatly because of my great blindness. Billions have died and I blame only myself. I did not seek democracy or the restoration of the Old World, I only sought power. I found it buried within the Vatican, in the form of the Golden Throne.
With power though, you also gain knowledge and empathy. I now know all the destruction and suffering that the world went through during the last two decades. I now renounce my actions, and I plan to restore and unify the world only through peaceful means.
I urge the world now to put down their weapons and reconcile their differences, Only together can we overcome the darkness we have caused. We must keep our minds and our hearts open if we are to suceed in surviving as a race.
Today I form the Church of Unity, here in India. We will preach peace and selflessness around the world. Our only goal is to advance the human race."
Around half of the Technopriests of the UDF have decided to join the One(as Ghandi is now called) at the main temple, the other half has shunned his proclamation saying that inaction and peaceful preaching will not change the world. Most have instead petitioned to join ROGUE, promising to bring with them their substansive knowledge of psyonic technology that was pioneered by the UDF in its last days as super power.
The UDF has also sold off the remainder of most of their weapons and armor. They reinvested the money in the reconstruction of many major cities including Rome, Instanbul, Moscow and Tokyo. They also used the funds to begin construction of a pyramid like temple on Sri Lanka that will serve as a base of operations for the UDF as well as the HQ for the Church of Unity.
In other news, the EL invasion of North America was met with great criticism around the world as they used new teloporation tecnologies to decimate civlian populations of several major cities.
This has made UDF officials around the globe to ask for this technology to be banned in order to limit the growing technological prowess of the EL
TheGreatEmperor: how about a psuedo-revival of feudalism? The former Indian states will technicaly remain under the control of the RSR, but you will be awarded all the rights of an independent state. You will be able to set up your own laws, leaders, and tax rates. You will be givin 1/2 of the representatives in congress, and your leader will also be vice president of the RSR. In short, you will, for the most part, be part of the RSR in name only.
I know, but DoomBringer still gave them back to me.
as such, we will agree to send the soul of Ghandi to the UDF in exchange for the infromation about that anti bacterium.
In other news, a Crack team of Rogue commandos Raided the Teleportation grid hub when, disguised as wounded EL casualities, they were teleported into the main facility.shortly before leaving the hub, they Downloaded all the files pertaining to This and anyother EL technology before setting off a 2 kiloton Nuculear bomb. As such, the enemy forces within Los Angeles, Detroit, Mexico City, and Washington DC have run out of supplies and are quickly being rounded up as we speak.
Rogue Diplomts have been sent to Neighboring countries to ease the fighting proposing a neurtal Zone be set up between the EL and Rogue. Similar requests have been sent to the RSR awaiting further response.
yeah i love how you think you can disguise yourself as wounded EL forces. all members of my empire are have telepathic implants allowing ease of recognition of our own as well as ensuring that critical research nodes cannot be accessed without proper clearance.
besides teleportation is one way ATM so i cant teleport out.
