In the year 2278, the world has partially recovered from the devastating nuclear wars of 200 years previous (the Third War), though since 2/3 of the world's population was killed in the war, much of the world remains uninhabited. However advances in thermonuclear technology meant that during the war no nuclear fallout was left behind. There was no victor in this Third War. Rather, it ended only because no one was left alive to fight, save those people in neutral countries which soon became the dominant powers on Earth. These are:
Xtinia: Controls almost all of Europe, except for part of Scandinavia and Scotland and Ireland, which are controlled by a puppet state of Xtinia. The Xtinians also control North Africa and part of the Middle East, as well as colonies in northern South America. Xtinia vies with Xinjan for status as the foremost superpower of the world. The government of Xtinia recalls that of the ancient dynasties of Imperial China.
Xinjan: Xinjan controls more territory than any other country on Earth, making up the Asian part of Russia, and all of Asia save the southernmost parts of that continent. The government of Xinjan is an as harsh, if not harsher, communist regime than Stalin's in the 1930s.
Xileas: Xileas makes up India, Pakistan, and part of Afghanistan. They are began as a breakoff state from Xinjan, and actively side with Xinjan's enemies.
Silnau: Silnau controls the peninsula where Thailand is, as well as the Malay Peninsula and western Indonesia. They are torn by civil strife between the Pro-Xinjani faction and the Pro-Xileas faction.
Sultanate of Kanatura: The Sultanate of Kanatura controls the Arabian Peninsula and part of the Middle East. It is an ostentatiously neutral part of the world, and the Sultan often tries to play the larger countries of Xtinia and Xinjan off each other to his advantage. For all this, the Sultan is an enigma, and very few can ever claim to have seen him in person.
Republic of Nozanos: The Republic of Nozanos is one of only two truly democratic countries in the world. It controls Norway.
Democratic Republic of Ostanos: Regardless of its name, the Democratic Republic of Ostanos is anything but Democratic. It is a Communist regime puppeted by Xtinia. It controls Scotland and Ireland, as well as a small colony in eastern Brazil.
Republic of Central Xaquang: The Republic of Central Xaquang is the second of the two truly democratic countries in the wold. It is located in central America, but controls some territory in South America by virtue of a war it won against Xtinia 10 years ago.
United Confederacy of South Xaquang: The United Confederacy of South Xaquang is currently in a war against both Xtinia and the Dem. Rep. of Ostanos. The war has settled into a WWI - style stalemate in the trenches. They control most of South America.
Tranonesia: Tranonesia is a largely unknown nation. They control South Africa, but they have no direct links with the outside world, though the other nations do know of its existence.
Zilados: The second most technologically advanced nation, right after Xinjan, Zilados has a very small, but very professional military, and, were it not staunchly isolationist, could very well recreate the United States. It controls part of the US East Coast.
The rest of the world is either uninhabited, except for central Africa, which is controlled by primitive, warring tribes, and North America south of Canada, which is controlled by warring city-states.
I'll post a map once I figure out how to do that.
As a result of the Third War, much of the technical progress of the world was lost, and technologically, the world is on a 1920's level, except for the fact that only Xinjan has airplanes, and they are a tightly guarded military secret. All the other developed countries of the world (as in not the tribes of Africa) make military use of rigid airships instead.
As for international events, besides the Xtinian war against the United Confederacy of South Xaquang, the world is about to be plunged into war in one year due to an attack on the rural Xtinian town of Tsaravyi by the Xinjanis using a hitherto unknown weapon - the airplane.
Just an idea - I think it's good but I can't make a mod of it myself - my modding skills are almost (but not quite) nil. Anyway, I thought I'd post this and see what everyone else thinks.
