World Map 2003
(Top map is geopolitical, bottom map is alliance-based.)
Latest map, shortly before Islamic Caliphate invades Jordan in 2003.
Gray is the Dar al-Islam, the alliance of radical Islamist regimes lead by the maniacal and psychopathic Wahhabist caliphate. They have made great strides in damaging the standing of Muslims internationally, and have seeded regimes like theirs all over the Sub-Saharan region.
Red is the Warsaw Pact, the alliance of states under the general protection and political alignment of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, since the death of Joseph Stalin in 1949, has largely become a moderate remnant of it's former self -- while not embracing democracy like China did, they've largely turned into a moderating force on Earth. In the Middle Eastern theatre, the Soviets have a large number of planes conducting bombing raids against Islamic Caliphate units out of airfields in Syria, Iraq and Jordan. They are currently assembling Tatar and Kazakh special units to fight the IC.
Orange is the Beijing Pact, the alliance of states under the general protection and political alignment of the People's Republic of China. Since the resignation of Mao Tse-tung in 1953, China has largely turned into a social democratic superpower, embracing the maxims of democracy and state-regulated capitalism. After the 1999 Kargil War, China became the definitive Asian superpower, after India and Pakistan were engulfed in nuclear war. They are involved in the southern set of the Middle Eastern theatre, launching bomb raids from Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti against Sudan, IC-occupied Yemen, Oman, and the other Islamist regimes in Africa. They are assembling a coordination of Bengali, Ugyhur and other Islamic soldiers to help fight the IC.
Blue is the Pan-European Military Community, a collective of European populist, nationalist, or "federalist" regimes that work together to bright Europe tighter together, and push out the influences of America and the Soviet Union to ensure Europe's place in the future as a power to be reckoned. This alliance is lead primarily by the Republic of France and FR Germany. They are largely uninvolved in the war against the IC, largely targeting Islamists domestically and in Tunisia -- since the May 2002 terrorist attacks, European Islamophobia has reached new heights.
Greenish-blue is the Alliance of Free States, the reformed version of NATO, after the European withdrawal from the organization. The United States is the de-jure and de-facto leader of this alliance. Despite European withdrawal, it has remained strong and capable of threatening her enemies. The United States, UK and others are currently coordinating the establishment of numerous Islamic units to help occupy Mecca and Medina during the invasion of the Caliphate, planned for 2004. These soldiers are trained and prepped largely under the purvey of U.S. officers and with the permission and assistance of the various Arab/Islamic states aligned to the USSR, USA and China.
