2070 - Year of the Tiger
The War is over, dust settles on the victims of war as malnourished children rush to salvage whatever they can. Following “The Arduous March”, the world has seen the light of peace and respite has been found in the midst of the destruction. The United States has been left exhausted and within the House and Senate new forces are emerging to pick at the already unstable assembly; the American experiment is facing collapse. The Constitution Party headed by senior officials of The United States Military Industrial Complex and high-ranking executives and businessmen in Wall Street have forged a strong alliance under the guidance of Major General Waiters. The Technocrats, headed by a cabal of America’s top scientists and America’s ever-growing population of Sentient Androids who have remained the centre of controversy since the war. The final party fighting for control of the United States is the Davis Party, named after President Jefferson Davis of the CSA, a union of anti- robot-fear-mongers who have surged in popularity following the war; the Davis Party is not as united as it may seem as Party President Pierce Stevens – A modern, conservative, in-league with wealthy Southern businessmen and neo-Confederates – in direct opposition with Pascal Marshal, the Governor of the Louisiana Legislature and leader of the Breckinridge movement. Marshal is known throughout America as a bigoted war-alarmist who despises ethnic minorities, his rhetoric seems alarming and sincere. Marshal has been riding on the coat-tails of Stevens, if Stevens is to become elected, he will need to rid himself of Marshal’s racist rhetoric. Marshal has the support of Marble Man’s Militia, a right-wing Christian-fundamentalist organization that is Marshal’s muscle, their power is significant.
“You were the defiant ones, the ones who chose to stand up for your race!”
The 2070 election is coming up, Democracy will be an end in itself as all factions fight for control in an America more divided than ever before. Who will be its savior… Or destroyer?
“I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.”

The Death Cult
In 1921, the Year of the Rooster, a great revolution was attempted by the Communists in Mongolia, on the horizon lay a thousand men on a thousand horses who crushed the Red Army brutally. Their heads were stuck on spears, their bodies lay flung naked on the streets and flogged until the skin was nothing more than strips of muscle clinging to bone. Damdin Sukhbaatar was found in his bed with boiling molten gold poured down his throat and all members of the Mongolian People's Party were marched to the flaming cliffs of Mongolia and tossed off one by one at gunpoint, bones broken and their bodies burning in the Gobi Desert.
“Father Sǐ is eternal!”
Chiang Kai-Shek and Sun-Yat Sen were lead into a room at gunpoint by Manchu Separatists and were forced to sit with the military commander responsible for the Mongolian Suppression - 死亡之父 - Father Death. Father Death revealed a scheme for a new empire, one that will unite China of all war-lords. Chiang and Sun had no choice but to give into Father Death's demands and with the power of the Mongolian Army with the help of the KMT annihilated Ma Fuxiang and his clique of warlords, China was now under a new regime with Chiang Kai-Shek and Sun-Yat Sen as figure-heads under the all-knowing power of Father Death who had a personality cult cemented around him, Buddhism was given reforms by Thubten Gyatso; who was tortured, beaten and threatened with having his naked body tied to one of Father Death's fastest horses and have his testicles face down to the gravel.
“Death is the Great Equalizer!”
Now, more than a hundred years after the revolution, Father Death rules over China , his picture hung in Tiananmen Square, he is known as the second coming of महाकाल - Mahakala - The Buddhist and Hindu God of Death, all other religion were banned in the new China and the state was renamed; "The Glorious Republic of Death", or as it was more popularly called by Westerners; "The Death Cult". Who was Father Death though?
"Father Sǐ; Scourge of Tyranny”

Scotland and Britain
The United Kingdom is dead. Scotland’s violent secession from The Union is evident throughout The North. The Neo-Bolshevik revolution which sprouted from retaliation against The UK Government’s attempt to remain the bastion of humanity in Europe after the destruction of the war led to mass protests in Glasgow and Dundee. Memoirs of the original secession of the 1920’s still retain their importance in The New Scottish State. The once open border of the Early 21st century is gone, replaced with bunkers, artillery pieces and miles of ruined forest and such has been the case for many years. The National Liberation Front who have remained the dominant political force for one hundred years holds a tight grip on Scotland and all dialogue has been cut between Scotland and The Union of Britannia – The successor state to The United Kingdom. The Union of Britannia is lead currently by the Human Supremacist party, The Britannica Front who have focused almost all military spending on subjugating Scotland and bringing order back to the world.
“Our demands most moderate are; we only want the earth.”
War is brewing and both parties are continuing to expand their military presence on the border. One spark is all it could take to send the British Isles into flames. Who will make the first move and what is the future of Britain?
"Those English appear great because we Scots are on our knees. Rise lads! Rise!"

Indian Civil War
The situation in India is dire, a loss of India would be crucial for the continuation of the Commonwealth, giving the Death-Cult a chance to invade Australia and other Pacific and Asian nations to further their own agenda. The Death-Cult to the East have gained significant territory in eastern Bangladesh and are encroaching into mainland India through the McMahon Line, slaughtering and performing brutal punishments against the ethnic Hindu population that resides there. International aid is out of the question, with the Death Cult's navy currently blockading Indian ports in Mumbai, Kochi and numerous other coastal cities. To the west, the Middle Eastern Conglomerate fight hard to save their eastern brothers from the incoming hordes of Death-Cult forces coming in from Tibet and the North-East.
“Remember our boys on the Malabar Front,”
Mass migration is a major problem for the Middle Eastern Conglomerate, cities are overcrowded with Muslim refugees attempting to flee the Death Cult's regime. The conditions in the Middle-Eastern refugee camps is sub-human, with food-shortages becoming common. Those who do not convert to the ways of Allah are often turned away back to the Malabar Front where they would most likely meet their demise.
Muslims who are unable to flee the Malabar Front find themselves either in the Death-Cult's camps, or lying dead in their tracks - burnt alive, as a warning to those who do not submit to the Death Cults teachings and laws.

THE MOD
-
Ideologies
Cluster - An empire of robot-aliens have invaded, installing a robot-orientated government which locks human beings in concentration camps to serve the robot’s needs. They are in league with the Quisling government; The Eastern European Posadist Republics.
Posadism - A grotesque mix of Trotskyism and UFOlogy which blew up in popularity. Fronted by the Posadist Republics of Eastern Europe. Posadists believe in Alien Supremacy and worshiping of supposed otherworldly gods.
Technocracy - The country’s greatest technical minds have banded together to further the research and development of new technology while embracing research into The Cluster States to benefit the state and its people. Technocratic governments are usually fronted by Scientists and those previously affiliated with the far left.
Democracy - The bastion of freedom and civil liberties, rare in the current political climate.
Reactionary - A collective name for states with semi to entirely dictatorial systems, often backed by Nationalistic and Conservative thinking.
Corporatism - The Financial Cliques have obtained power of the country, lowering the corporation tax to maximize corporate profits and bring additional powers to executives.
Human Supremacy - A dedicated and nationalistic following of ultra-nationalist demagogues who look to crush the Cluster states in order to return order and stability to Earth. They are also heavily opposed to Posadism, mainly due to the acts of Posadist states during the Arduous March.
Death Worship - Fanatics following the words of Father Death, the cult leader of the orient. Death Worshippers promote sacrifice and eternal loyalty to Father Sǐ.
Scenarios
Indian Civil War - India finds itself stuck between a rock and a hard place with two powers trying to seize the country for themselves. To the north-east in Bhutan and Tibet is the Death Cult, and to the west is the Middle-Eastern Conglomerate, both fighting hard to cut themselves a piece of the pie.
The Scottish Troubles - The Neo-Bolshevik Republic of Scotland is under heavy political turmoil with the Fascist Union of Britannia. The Scottish border has become a heavily armored minefield; both armies watch the movements of their opponents. One spark could light a war between the two.
The 2070 Presidential Election - Political turmoil is brewing between the Neo-Confederate Davis Party headed by Pierce Stevens, the Breckenridge Movement spearheaded by the bigoted Governor of Louisiana Pascal Marshal, the Technocrats lead by the top scientific minds of the United States and the Democratic Party of the United States of America. Democracy is looking bleak.
