And Man Smiled

Inspired by Matteo, with me taking his wonderful basemap again, this map take places 80 years to the future, with the caveat in 2020 a magical awakening occurred, partily as a result of the eruption of Yellowstone, resulting in the first changes in this new era being the division of the United States between Native American States in the west, California, the Pro-Human United States of America ran by the Human Front, and the United American and Canadian States, the last seceding from the United States actually. Mexico, now as Aztlan, is doing very well for itself. That sans the rumours of many gains being the results of Aztec blood magic, but those are just Gringo lies, right?

Latin America is a rather strange place. A eco-friendly dragon along with Amazonian Indians has taken control of many portions of the Amazon, and has become a bastion of Deep Green thought in South America. This has offended many powers, from a resurgent Brazil that would like it’s territory back, to the Andean Confederation, which feels uncomfortable with Amazonias claims on its eastern territories. Along with this Patagonia has become a Welsh Elvish nation strangely enough.

Europe despite fears of decline, is doing well and is somewhat vengeful. The Core European Federation and the outer members of the federation seek to flex their muscles, first with the 2030 war with Russia that unified them, and the the 2060 war with Russia that led to the first partition of Russia. Now the European phoenix seeks to expand it’s influence all over the world.

Africa and the African Union has become a key player on the world stage. Sans the ghoul state on lake Chad and Azania, most of Africa due to already being controlled by natives has not suffered some of the same magical consequences. Already plans are being drawn to expand African influence around the world. Hati looks like a good place to start…

Asia is the land of snarling rivals, while the nominal quintuple alliance of Iran, India, China, Japan,
and Indonesia presents a united front against everybody else, in practice each one of them seeks to be top dog in the Asian system, with alliances being created a dissolved everyday. The big surprise being the rise of Japan. With the awakening in 2020, Japan turns out had a lot of magical resources on hand, helping boost the Japanese economy, and soon transforming them from a declining state to a new Asian superpower. This was first seen in the 2060’s when Japan attacked Russia's far eastern territories, regaining Sakhalin and having the largest stake in the Vladivostok freeport. The Imperial Japanese rise has made many Asian nations nervous for better or for worse, considering the Japanese have a massive magical arsenal to deploy…

I finally have to thank the world of Shadowrun for influence on this creation, mainly being seen in the fact that initially this was going to be a Shadowrun world cover, but then my imagination took hold, and some changes were enacted.

I hope you find this interesting.
