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.
Very well, the only reason I need India is as buffer state for Sri Lanka, which I plan to make a spiritual haven for the world's people.
The Technopriests have established the Bureau of Informative Statistics to track data on each major power. They have released their report on each state individually.
This report uses the Japanese yen to measure the standard of living as well as total economic output.
European League:Population: 1.8 billionGDP: 14 trillion yenPPP(Standard of living): 7,777 yenCurrency: Euro|Total Military Forces: 1.3 billion (Flash clones)The European League is a relatively restrictive state that is mainly concentrating on technological development. Many of its citizens live in poverty as the government ignores most of the needs of the daily man in favor of technological progression. This state is the only state that has a colony on the moon and substantial assets in orbit. They also have a substantial amount of clones and high technology mechs that make them a world super power militarily.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:Population: 2.4 billionGDP: 18 trillion yenPPP: 7,500 yenCurrency: DurhamTotal Military Forces: 100 million
The KSA is a very large nation that comprises the worlds two most resource rich continents. However, most of its wealth is still centered within the Arabian Peninsula, which outputs nearly 80% of total GDP. The government however, is striving to develop Africa and South America by investing billions of durham’s in the reconstruction of major cities and the development of mining complexes and industrial centers. This state also has a largest disparity between the rich and the poor, with over 99% of all wealth held by less then .5% of the population. This state is the most restrictive of all the world’s super powers, having very limited civil rights.
ROGUE: Population: 700 millionGDP: 3 trillion yenPPP: 4.285 yenCurrency: PesoTotal Military Forces: 20 million
ROGUE is probably the freest state in the world and its citizens enjoy vast civil rights. However, it is also the poorest state in the world because it has been ravaged by several wars and most of its major cities have been destroyed wit the exception of New York. This city is probably the richest in the world and makes up for almost 30% of total GDP output. This state is moderately advanced, having the most progress in the areas of cybernetics and networking. This has allowed the development of the most modern informational highway which promises to make this state a economic super power in the near future. Rising Sun Republic:Population: 4.8 billionGDP: 80 trillionPPP: 16,666 yenCurrency: The YenTotal Military Forces: 150 million troops
The Rising Sun Republic is the most powerful of the super powers, both militarily and economically. It holds the most land area and population, but lacks the resources for further economic development. Its military relies heavily on air and naval superiority, with their ground troops being the weakest of the super powers. This state is also one of the more docile, relying mainly on negotiation to maintain its powerfull stature in world politics. However, the people are rigidly controlled from its centralized capital of Tokyo. Most funding for EL technologies have come from the RSR, making the two nations close partners.
if i remember right the RSR has a lunar colony and EAU has mars and venus.
HIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDDD IT!!!!!!
HOLD IT!
hold it....
WHAT DA FUK JUST HAPPENED!?
all that money from the Arabs will go to good use. Seriously, i have little children who think that the toilet, the Kitchen sink, and the Bath tub are the same thing!
sorry, you got Owned
the EL invaded as far as the rockies while the EAU (or RSR as they are called now) invaded via alaska. you were caught in the middle and were crushed like a pimple. While the EL was busy with the Rocky mountain campaign, my country (ROGUE) managed to revolt and with the help of advanced hacking were able to defeat the EL and the RSR and drive them from north america.
Gone for a week, and the UEF is in shambles, NAU has become ROUGE, and a massive war was waged? can someone pleeeaaassseee summarize what happened?
I'm serious, I'm about to go rouge on all yo asses unless you tell me what happened to my nation!
*A message is sent to all by an unknown figure...*
???: "Citizens of the world.....I demand retribution for what you all have done...so I'll make this brief:"
In every major city, I have hidden an antimatter bomb. These bombs are powerful enough to blow a hole to the mantle. If within 48 hours my demands aren't met....
...The world...will end. Thank you."
*the message ends. a timer shows on every screen in the world...starting at 48:00:00...47:59:59...47:59:58...47:59:57....*
GIVE ME BACK MY COUNTRY!
hmmm well i have to say thats a twist
utilizing advanced scanners i have located the bombs in the EL and RSR and destroyed them. in addition i have begun mass teleportation out of EL space to pluto and charon. the survivors on luna have begun rigging up some antimatter engines to keep her in orbit around the soon to be dead planet.
This just in:
Counter intelligence agents have tracked the source of the unknown transmission to a small shack in the Colorado Radioactive zone. The man inside who appeared to be suffering from acute Schitzofrenia and a dosage of radiation poisioning claimed to be the Desposed leader of the former NAU. After his arrest, antimatter detonators were retreived from local cities and disarmed. While the antimatter will be used to provide power for victims of the recent fighting, a lingering threat is still present. Among the man's possessions were radio transmitters pointed to cities within the EL, KSA, UDF, and RSR. ROGUE is currently working with other governments to track down and eliminate the threat which they hope will be resolved within 24 hours.
heh i would but im not there anymore
Dear Former President of the NAU, I, The One, hope that this message finds you well.
I also hope that you wil take my invatation to join me and my monks on the Island of Sri Lanka at the Temple of Unity and find your own path to Salvation and Ascention.
There is no need to seek power in the material world, rejoice in your new freedom from the shackels of government.
the countdown timer stops at 40:53:15 through a command code interface that linked the bombs together, Rogue was able to stop the detenation....Indefinetaly. Those within the Rogue held areas are being dug up and refined to work in power plants. I guess we all owe a small debt of gratitude to the former leader of the now defunct NAU. it seems that the people dont seem to mind it's absence.
Today, September 12, 2082
The former head of the NAU was extridited from Rogue and bound toward the nation of Sri-Lanka. Hopefully he will find some sembelance of peace there
Friday, Sept. 13th, 2082-
*The NAU president, on the way to Sri Lanka, is found out to be a double. The world governments scramble to find the timer source*
....Wrong move...
The four horsemen have casted their long shadow: The four opressive nations and their opressive leaders. And now that the four horsemen have been revealed, now comes the next act in the book...
...May god have mercy on your soul, and may a savior rise from the ashes...of Armageddon...
*In an instant, Major cities around the globe dissapeared within seconds. Large, flaming balls hovered above massive craters dug into the crust. through these openings, mantle spewed out from them. Tiny holes in the crater, compared to the crater itself. The shockwaves rippled across the surface in what seemed to be slow from space, but thousands of miles per hour on the surface. The shockwave from each blast encompassed a 4000 mile radius. However, due to the construction of their buildings to withstand nuclear attacks, a majority of buildings in the shockwave zones stood. The strange thing was, the bomb in New Yourk was not set off, and ROUGE forces were sent in to investigate on why their state was not as severley damaged as most others.
The death toll came to the biggest loss of human life, up to 4 billion out of the 11 billion living on the surface of the planet, plus another 400,000 from space stations falling out of orbit from the sheer shockwaves of the blasts below. billions more were affected by the blasts as well, wether it was injuries or home loss, even insanity by the destruction that ensued. The enviornment, which was already dying, was dealt a final blow. The heat from the blasts immediately rose the worldwide temperture up 10 degrees Ferinheight...
This day would be forever known as the day everyone feared the most, and it was the day that changed the face of not only Earth, but of humanity...
...That day was called appropriately: "Armageddon"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There will come a day....when a savior will relieve humanity of it's burdens. Untill that day comes, hell shall rain on Earth for all eternity."
*In the background, flashlights shine, gunships are heard from the outside, and yells and command are heard from the room beside the figure's hideout inside an abandoned building. A soldier pops through the doorway, and shoots the figure. Multiple bullets pass through the man's body, blood spurting on the camera as billions who are still watching. A light shines on the shadowy figure...
...it was the former NAU president's son, Paul Richardson.*
**three hours before Armageddon**
The world moved, billions of screams, the earth itself spewed fire...
That was my worst dream, but it seems that there is still time before it comes true.Initiate the Plan.
Yes, your will shall be done.

oh well fortunately i evacuated most of my civilians of the planets surface prior to the bombs going off so it doesnt hurt me nearly as much as any others.
Didn't we disable most of the bombs? When did you put bombs under every city in the world, and how? That my friend, is total Diablous Ex Machnina. It dosen't even make sense.
Samurye.
November 1, 2082
Rogue HQ "El Morro Fortress" San Juan:
It has come to our attention that the former factions of the NAU have deliberately endangered the live of our fellow men to the point of insanity. The destruction wrought by these confederates have undermined all of our efforts at both peace and health. We now invite those from all nations and creeds to join us on a search for a new world that is beyond the reach of those who would rather have land and power than peace. although over half of our already diminished population are now laying in eternal rest, we can at least ensure the continuement of the human race on the outer fringes of our solar system.
Our astronomers have just recently discovered an earthlike planet orbiting nearby Regulus 321. Perhaps we can eventually return to Earth, but for now it is a slowly sinking ship. We have one of the few true lifeboats. It is painful that we cannot enjoy the freedoms that we have for so long have fought for, but is this not the ultimate freedom? Freedom from those who seek to harm us? Freedom from want? our journey will be tough but we will preservere.
As such, we will now evacuate the Nuculear wastelands that were formerly the North America. Our Base within the West Indies will be the last remnants of our failed achievements and what we sill strive to become. Kinetic shiled technology has been perfected and once the mass ROGUE exodus fleet departs, the shield will protect the entierety of our remaining world from all outside forces. Hyper wave scramblers will negate any attempt to hack or undermine our defense while we rebuild the lives of the only true free people left on this planet. Our atmosphere will be altered within the shield , providing both a refuge and comfortable living conditions that we had hoped for. All contact with the outside world will be cut off once the shield has been put in place. To ensure that the people's demands are met, our entire nuculear stockpile will be launched from our remaining bases toward the United states destroying anything that would be of use (if we didnt take it of course). Whomever wants the territories, go ahead and Congradulations on recieving a lifeless Desert of radiation.
I reallly want to ask to call that antimatter blast non-canonical. I mean really, that is just not realistic, even for this setting. A crazy old man planting a massive bomb in every city in the world? And then, it was even stated that those bombs were disarmed or removed. It seems to me that we are putting an unlikely and unjustified end to a story that should last much longer.
hmm well hyperspatial transports have determined thet the planet orbiting regulus 231 has -unfortunately- a chlorinated atmosphere. we have located a secondary base for the EL forces orbiting the star Aldebarren. it has a worldwide ocean and no visible land masses. our fleets have begin to shift several asteroids into a stable orbit for the first extrasolar space station. this will host the genetic alteration facilities to provide my forces with gills. teleportation to this planet from pluto and luna has begun. within one cloning cycle we have completely shifted to an aquatic civilization, and have begun farming kelp as a form of sustenance.
our cattle and other live stock have been given gills and the ability to digest kelp and our cities are the most technologically advanced in history. we have kept the genetic code for homo sapiens alive in coexistace with homo aquaticus and can maintain a presence on many worlds at the same time.
In an advance space station near the Sun, a scientific project was in the proccess of extracting highly reactive materials from the core of the sun. The head master of the space station recieves a call from the imperial leader of their empire.
Headmaster: "What can I do for you Master."
Imperial Leader: "I just looked back the records for this starsystem and realized there was a habitable planet with and estimated population of 15 billion humans. I would like you stop what you are doing at the Sol star system and Regulus 231 and move to Baltia 341 which unhabitable for your research and don't screw up"
Headmaster:"Yes sir."
The extractor is removed both suns, however they find out that they caused the sun to destablize and explodes in a supernova killing everyone in the vacinity.
Imperial Leader:"Great this is what I get for hiring idiots, ok that last record I have is 2075, ok guys rebuild the star systems correctly to that time.
edit: this is my solution to the problem going on.
so basically you hit the Rewind button....That will work too
Okay, here we go again.... the RSR and EL join forces and launch their deathless assault on the UDF with their stun guns, as RSR negotiators ask for peace with R.O.U.G.E.
That is a very exciting twist, in fact.
Oh, and Noobsauce, a nation called the Republic of America was formed but now has to relocate.
i think it was in the northeast or so. Dont worry about me, we just got Florida and are moving west toward Texas. Another army is moving from Central america towards Mexico City
