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.
Mr_Blunt3d: I know that we were enemies before, but that was a misunderstanding. If you will remember, the Europa Leauge was bombing your country to rubble. I decided that you would all be killed, so I decided to do the only thing I could to ensure your peoples survival: I stationed troops in your country and declared it my own to protect you from bombing. I said as much in my post. Anyway, I want peace. I am fairly sure that the Eurropa Leauge wants peace too. I believe that we could reach a settlement as to what land you will be givin. I would be happy to give you all the territor that now belongs to the NAU after we conquer it.
*RSR forces march into the NAU as bombers fly overhead. The rapidly deteriorating country does not put up much of a fight.*
Samurye.
Stupid page bug.
ok quick question is it just those two systems that got reset? or is it the whole galaxy?
1) to Samurye: We can have peace, but we will remain an independent state. We will allow your troops to withdraw while we go and kick EL ass
2) to Doom: The Galaxy. Which means your troops are now Rogue fearing panzys
hmm well that sucks but either way things will go the same way, i unleash my death virus and bomb UDF into sumbission again, i also provide RSR with the antivirus. i also begin to research basic teleportation techs and send scout ships to the aldebarran system and the regulus system to scout earthsize planets i have found there.
Can't we all just get along?
Aldebaran.
PLEASE don't ask me to backtrack; it would be an absolute design nightmare.
You must understand, I have to screenshot the maps directly from the program view, so the only way to backtrack would be to draw over each and every line from the 2075 map.
I'm not sure Mr. Q would be happy about this.
Mr_Blunt3d: I would very much like for you to stop bombing, shooting, and throwing rocks at my allies.
*The RSR shifts to a new, fully democratic system. All citizens are equal, and every descision is made by popular vote. Our vast army of production robots has ended the need for workers to work. To prevent economic collapse, the use of money for domestic transactions is abolished. Everything in the RSR is now free. The Yen is only used for international transactions, and everyone in the country can have anything that they want, and social and political tiers are destroyed, putting everyone on the same level. There is no theft, no homelessness, no starvation. Crime rates drop sharply, making the RSR the safest nation in the world. The RSR is now governed by only a few laws, agreed upon by the masses, making the RSR one of the worlds most free nations. Discrimination is now a thing of the past, and the citizens of the RSR are very tolerant of other cultures. An anti-aging drug has been discovered by RSR scientists which, along with recent EL breakthroughs in the use of nanobots to fight disease, has dropped the death rate to almost zero, while the birth rate continues to rise.*
About my country: The RSR is an industrial superpower. It has the larges production capacity of any nation, and produces the majority of the world's materials. The RSR also has the largest antimatter production capability of any nation and, since antimatter is one of the world's most valuable rescources, this makes the RSR a very rich country. This antimatter is shipped mostly to the Europa Leauge, mianly in exchange for technology. This has made the RSR and the EL very close allies, with most of the materials and objects used in the EL are mass produced in the RSR. Likewise, the most gifted minds in the RSR were educated in European schools. The RSR contains billions fo people, and is only able to sustain its population by its massive colonization programs. The RSR controls the majority of the Lunar surface, upon which a massive city is continuing to expand. The RSR also controls Venus and Mars, as well as the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. Mars and Venus have been terraformed, and are under rapid colonization and on the way to becoming ecumenopolies, while Phobos and Deimos have been completely transformed into space colonies. The RSR also has several massive space colonies in orbit around the Earth, Mars, and Venus.
Granting people the right to freely claim property will cause utter chaos and will instantly drain the economy. Despite the ideals of communism and socialism, I'm very worried that you're on the path to anarchy instead. It's possible to become disillusioned by the supposed benefits of the abolition of the price mechanism, however in practice, this is extremely dangerous to a civil and economic order. There's such a thing as being too far along the left-wing.
Fine What should I do then? The mechanized revolution has caused just about everyone to lose their jobs. No one has a way to make money. If I keep prices where they are now, everyone will be poor. If I give them money then my economy will be gone within days. If I print more money, my cash will become worthless. (as for that map, can't we just direct people to go and use the old one?)
which is why my mode works. A True Democracy that cares for the people. By setting up facilities to aid civilians harmed in the fighting, our armies bet one hell of a morale boost. Rather than being like older US Armies, Rogue armies are put through a psychiatric test before going to the frontlines. We didnt do the tests early on due to the point in time but we make good on whatever we do.
While Sure you got to pay for stuff in Rogue, The prices are drastically reduced to an insignificant amount to buy anything. Most of our money goes into the country itself and you would be suprised:
Midwestern farming has resumed in Non radiated areas
Biotechnology has found out how that EL Pathogen works. A Cure is in developement
You already know about our Cybernetics divison. Rather than make our troops Disfigured cyborgs, we are on the verge of mass produced "Drones" that our forces can control from a safe distance away.
Power is back on in most of our cities and (with the exception of Washington DC) the rubbel has been cleared.
repairs are underway on Landmarks that were demolished during the occupation such as the ST Louis Arch and the Sears tower.
And we have begun creating a spacefleet (based on altered designs of captured EL and NAU ships)
wait Undying, before Noobsauce comes back put some NAU blue in south america before we have yet another Time loop
well since we really arent shifting too much i have discovered remains of what appears to be my own technology in orbit around an ocean world that orbits aldebaran. upon examining the planet i disover a species that labels itself Homo Aquaticus. they say that my forces evacuated the solar system upon the destruction of earth and that i genetically engineered them as the next form of evolution for humans to survive on aquatic worlds.
they have shared with me the access codes to the orbital genetic engineering stations and the access code for the computer banks there. i have downloaded all technological schematics and discover a fully working teleportation device that links to pluto. i send my scout troops back through with knowledge of all technologies i downloaded as well as events that lead up to the destruction of earth in 2082.
my forces have now undergone mandatory telepathic upgrades as well as other cybernetic enhancements.
i colonize the orbital station and continue research on what was left on the screen when my forces apparantly vanished. the two things that had been started were: a theoretical N-space (hyperspace's hyperspace), and a planet restoration kit. the first one will alow me to travel even faster through the void and the second should allow me to bring any planet down in lethality that i cannot genetically code for. it seems that there were also plans in the works for an enzme that allows humans to survive off of chlorine and coordinates for a planet in the rigel system.
in regard to te EL social structure, we are an inter stellar dictatorial-technocracy similar to the KSA. however our leader is not a cyborg as the leader of the KSA and the UDF are, he has and can be eternally cloned ensuring that his vision of the future continues as he sees fit.
our economy is mainly based on the export of our proprietary room tempurature super-conductors made from an alloy of titanium, gold and monochromium the 118th element of the periodic table found only in the crust of Pluto, Charon and the larger kuiper belt objects. in addition we use far less space on power plants and farms due to required vertical hydroponic growing systems implemented in the sixties, and our main fusion reactor in central germany we also have a backup antimatter reactor far below the ruins of london.
our citizens have a high morale due to being able to remain in eternal contact with each other if they so choose. in addition there is very little unsolved crime as nothing can be hidden in the psi-net. this allows our citizens to live relatively safely save for the odd bombshell or antimatter explosion nearby.
there is no real monetary system any more as we have shifted to a universal credit system and our goods are relatively cheap due to being able to produce them at the atomic scale using highly sophisticated nanobots. the reduction in manufacturing jobs allows for more individuals to engage in scientific or administrative duties such as controling maintenance robots. all robotic minions have rudimentary AI -for the time being- and the ability to accept commands from any psycher with proper clearance.
the cards used to enable psychic and telepatic links are all the same save for the sections of them that are only hooked up upon promotion or security clearance upgrades. these are unhackable as they derive their power directly from the brain of the user.
What occupation? Edit: are we following the 2075 timeline or the 2082 timeline? (without the bombs)
Whoops. Double post.
Samurye
Triple post? Seriously?
i dont know i think its the 75 time line with minor alterations. so that would be the what tertiary occupation after the americans broke off from me.
well, when it comes to urban fighting, its hard to miss a gigantic shyscraper or a big Archway. We are following the 75 timeline i guess. this means that Mexico City has fallen and we now own all of North America, parts of England and france, and a bit of south america.
Urban fighting is not occupation. And If we follow the 2075 timeline (meaning that we go back to '75) then R.O.U.G.E. is a tiny island country with a miniscule foothold on the North American mainland.
In a Fourth of July celebration in San Juan, after the National Anthem, the crowds below were shown the Military that their hard work has enabled to exist. The main story is about what was leading the celebrations, and what was saved for the finale. In the Fore of the overflight were the New Aquilla class fighter that was endowed with portable kinetic barrier technology. following the Aquilla squadron were the mainstays of the Rogue air force including former EL fighter interceptors, NAU fighter bombers, F-22 E air supremacy fighters, JSF(VTOL)-D Fighter bombers. But the Shocker came at the end with the unveiling of the Brand new Vieques class Titan Carrier. The flagship Vieques, which was leading the flight of 7 Ships in a V formation, was an Awe inspiring site. Capable of carrying over 150 Strike craft (either Fighters or Bombers or a Mix) and surrounded with kinetic barriers their influence alone was enough to make a few observers Faint in astonishment.
In other news, the New York Stock market is back up and running. while the DOW is still lower than 4000, Futures estimate the DOW to shoot up to over 8000 in only a few months.
Earlier Today, Vast oil deposits were discovered in northern alaska, prompting the Government to immeadiately send oil crews to begin extraction.
Why did you feel the need to make a second Darth and Samurye Show Thread? It makes no sense.
look im following what the map says, We restarted at 2075 and now the year is 2080. This means that its not yer back to 2082, but its further than where we started. and if lose North america, that means that you lose a buffer state between you and the KSR, you dont get your fancy Robotic factories, and the EL will not get their crap cyborgs
*POST DELETED*
um yeah because i obviously do not have any extraterestrial manufacturing facilities or a working tepleporter out of the system. but given that you are using kinetic sheilding i have begun pouring research into laser encased kinetic weapons capable of boreing through kinetic sheilding devices. the majority of my research is being done off the earth on my ocean colony atlantis orbiting aldebaran or on pluto. again i have destroyed all comms satelites and all comunication is done at the speed of thuoght in the unhackable psi-net.
i have reached the planet orbiting rigel to find it barren but it does have a chlorine atmosphere. now we know why the older EL had begun research on chlorine breathing. we begin working on this as a priority project because we know that the enzymes it produces can be used to nullify other corrosive atmospheres.
In case you didn't know I am allies with the KSA.
really....This is so confusing....
oh and nothing is unhackable Doom, it just needs time. as far as kinetic barriers are concerned, mabey if we constantly rotate frequencied to both the visible and UV spectrum, the laser encased rounds might dissipate before even reaching the shield.
In other news, what appears to be a vault within El Morro Fotress that has remain sealed for hundreds of years has been discovered. However the techologies within seem to originate from the present day. Reaserchers are currently working on a way to make sense of the findings which allegedly says that the EL PSI network Can be hacked.
More for you later.
