World Map 1990

This is the world at the time of the dissolution of the German Democratic Republic in 1990. The People's Republic of China has been re-established and is a much stronger world power; now traditionally considered "nearly on par with the Soviet Union" in terms of strength, and represents a strong third-pole in the global stage. It is believed that several states will join the Beijing Pact by the end of 1999.

NATO is the usual suspects, not much has changed in that light. South Africa's influence has sustained and apartheid still carries on; Rhodesia has survived to 1990, but even the white majority government is chafing under South Africa's rule; and the Rhodesians are in back-door negotiations to establish a proper democracy in the state and get rid of South African influence. With the more militant black liberation groups having been vanquished, the Rhodesian government is negotiating with much more moderate organizations; not that it has made anything better.
