I'm guessing patrolling that region is going to make one almost wish for a nuclear winter .In addition to the desertification of the west (displacing large numbers of internal refugees) you have the drying up of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers in California, the general disruption to the ecosystem, and the capital of Metropolis itself slowly sinking into the ground as the water table beneath it empties.
From the map, they're shown as a member of the New Alliance and "neutral no more," so presumably they're as influential within it as La Plata and have maintained their influence in the reduced Confederation of Germany (being the closest ally against Russia makes that kind of a given even without the aid they provided).You didn't write a paragraph about Scandinavia, which should be from what I understand one of the more important players by now with it having weathered the Final War and the Stone Dogs better than most.
If I remember correctly, it was jointly run by the nations of the AfD as the Allied Lunar Mandate, so it never was one to begin with. I'll bet the Selenians are proud of reenacting the plot of the first half of The Martian on a mass scale, so they're probably happy with maintaining the self-sufficiency they've so carefully built. That being said, they're probably as close to the New Alliance as it's possible to be under the conditions. The appeal of situationism to such a Spartan society would seem to be minimal, but at some point in the future it could become a relevant current in the Selenian political scene. For all their down-to-earth practicality, they're not even actually on it. While their home planet can hardly be dismissed as a sinking ship they'd be better off ignoring altogether, the bailout is certainly still in progress for the foreseeable future, and the fact that Selene hasn't undergone the same crises as the nations of Earth is a clear turning point for them to develop their own unique identity.Also one question: Any ongoig talks about the Republic of Selene rejoining the USA as a State?
Not a series of words that I ever expected to read.Liberia (located in OTL Nigeria) is an art-themed dictatorship.
So they're art-loving neocons? Hmm, is this guy a second-wave situationist?Free China is still a democracy, as are China’s Partners for Peace and Reconstruction, but Second Wave Situationism is grimmer, less optimistic, and more zealous than the older kind. The Final War demonstrated that war can seek you out no matter how carefully you remain neutral or how dedicated you are in the pursuit of peace. The Anthropocene Mass Extinction proved that humanity cannot address issues of environmental preservation in a piecemeal fashion.
If Homo Ludens is to truly come into existence, if the utopian world celebrating the individual where man can live for pleasure instead of pain can be created, then neutrality is not possible.
He will prosecute a war on Russia over non-existent WMD's (nuclear bombs).Not a series of words that I ever expected to read.

Also, how are the Roma and Yazidis doing? Do they still have a state?
That's somewhat sad to hear, you seem to generate a lot of cool discussion on this site. Well, It's been a great ride with you here, and I'll definitely keep up with your stuff on Sufficient Velocity. Would it be impolite to ask you to DM me why you feel you can't continue your work on AH.com?I'm going to reread The Space Pirate King, build up a bit of a buffer for it, and then get it launched again- on SV only I'm afraid. It was a difficult decision, but while I will continue to follow TLs over here and post occasionally, for personal reasons I am transitioning my writing away from AH.com.
Happy New Year, y'all!
I wonder how close Russia and the AfD are to developing nukes anyways.He will prosecute a war on Russia over non-existent WMD's (nuclear bombs).
I'm all for it.He will prosecute a war on Russia over non-existent WMD's (nuclear bombs).
Is it by any chance located in the OTL location of either Villa las Estrellas or Esperanza Base?La Cometa, Population: 14,877, de facto capital (the de jure capital is in Patagonia) of Platinean Antarctica. As the climate warms and conditions become Artctic rather than Martian, the seventh continent has seen its population climb steadily to 45,000~.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you reconsider, but wish you good luck in your projects.Phew! 140,000~ words, 295 pictures, and a year and a half of writing and we are finally at the end.
To think that I originally envisioned this as map series! :lol:
Thanks to all of my readers for your encouragement and feedback.

But because he writes the declaration of war to Russia as a sassy poem, then everyone thinks it's a great situation ;-)He will prosecute a war on Russia over non-existent WMD's (nuclear bombs).
