United States - Following the
collapse of the
Soviet Union in
1989, the United
States became the
world’s sole
superpower for over a decade. In
the early part of the 21st century,
the US led a coalition of nations
into a worldwide fight against
terrorism. The campaign included
intelligence, police action and
military operations around the
globe as it used its overwhelming
military might to crush rogue
terrorist organizations.
Imperial Empire- Following
World War II, Japan
dismantled much of
its military and
focused almost
exclusively on
economic endeavors. This
proved to be very successful until
large-scale recessions hit at he
end of the 20th century. Troubled
by a weak economy, Japan
turned once again to its military
machine and scored many early
victories against Russia,
Manchuria and Korea. Further
expansion extended to several
islands in the Pacific making the
current empire reminiscent to the
Imperial Japan of World War II.
European Union - Originally known as
the European
Community--was
created after World
War II to unite the nations of
Europe, bringing an
unprecedented era of peace and
prosperity to the region. For this
game, the capital is based in
Germany and the Chancellor has
restricted democratic freedoms in
an effort to confront the current
global crisis. Most of Western
Europe is united, forming a
powerful alliance of military and
economic strength.
Russian Republic
- Following the
collapse of the
Soviet Union, Russia
spent several years
struggling to make democracy
work in the war torn nation. After
failing to recover economically
and losing the Far East Territory
in a war with Japan, many of the
former Soviet states regrouped to
form the Russian Republic.
Behind the leadership of Vladimir
Putin, they have managed to
once again rise as one of the
world's premier superpowers.

Communist Far
East - Following
World War II, Asia
became a boiling
point of the Cold War
as communism and democracy
clashed in several nations.
Millions of people died of
starvation or were killed by their
governments during several failed
communist experiments. The
movement seemed to be dying
out in the 1970's but regained
momentum in the early 21st
century matching China's rise to
power in the region. Under the
threat of nuclear attack, China
was able to form a great alliance
of nations in southeast Asia.
Middle-East
Federation - After
spending centuries
fighting against each
other, many Arab
and non-Arab nations of the
middle-east formed a single great
federation of states. Controlling
oil supplies and prices brought
great wealth to the federation as
it quickly rose into a global
superpower. The empire extends
from Libya to Pakistan, and Saudi
Arabia runs the show.
African Coalition - International
skirmishes and
warlord governing
gave way to a spirit
of unification within
Africa in the early
part of the 21st century. Behind
the leadership of Congo, many African nations
formed a great coalition rising in
status to establish itself as a
world superpower.
Latin Alliance - Fearing attacks
from outside
nations, much of
Central and South
America were
unified into a great
Latin Alliance.
Economic prosperity led to the
formation of a central capital
within Brazil.
