Universal Europe
A cover of Cyberphoenix's scenario, linked above. In which the dominant world powers are the Burgundian Empire, the Polish Commonwealth, the Mongol Empire, the Portuguese Empire, the Ryukun Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden and of course the Xhosa Union. France, Russia and the Ottomans were recently beaten up in a global conflict known as the World-Wide War, leaving the imperious Polish-Burgundian-Portuguese to lord over Europe, Africa and the Americas. The world is full of corporate monarchies, and megacorporations hold a great deal of influence in various countries; the most in the Portuguese Empire, the least in Sweden. Other notables include a satellite China put together by the Ryukuns to counteract the Mongols, a tenuously wealthy Mughal Empire, a Kingdom of Livonia regarded as a centre of crime and illicit goods, a rump Russia, an Ottoman Empire undergoing a split between the theocratic north and secularist south, and a British Isles in which the War of the Roses never really ended. I hope you enjoy it.
