A Beginning And An End- Future Timeline

This is a timeline about a devastating Third World War many many years into the future and the rebuilding of civilization. After the war is over, modern civilization will be all but dead. A dark age of culture, language, communications, technology, religion, everything. What will this rebuilt world look like? Hilarious. Read to find out! (Note that the war itself will only be briefly discussed. While the first few chapters may seem rushed, the war is mainly to provide a background on why the heck everything is having to be rebuilt. Some degree of technology will remain, depending on which area you live in. Slightly ASB, but I try to avoid that.) Please feel free to leave comments, guys, constructive criticism, etc. The first few chapters may seem a little rushed, but they honestly are just a backdrop for the meat and juice of the future timeline. Following the American East Coast's rebuild and all the silly things that may happen. Small ironies, crazy religions, and the like. Ever want to see face-painted "Mormonai" hordes riding across the desert plains? Ever wanted to see a religion worshipping Mekemene, the two-faced Mouse God, head of the Disneist gods? Ever wish to see this and so much more? Here you go. The content here will range from silly to dark, but I will try to stay away from ASB too bad (except for the basic premise and some of the weapons of this war; then again, to many in the past, nukes would be "ASB" and "too powerful to be real"). ;)!

A BEGINNING AND AN END

The Beginning of the End

The years before WWIII were tense ones. In these ”enlightened” ages, the years were not kept track of. Society had halted its move forward. Here they were, humanity, with giant “nuclear Pez dispensers” floating around in low orbit. They had the ability to use the Earth herself as a weapon, to harness her quakes, her spewing lava, and her horrible wrath. The power over microbial diseases to wreak havoc upon their enemies and bolster their allies was there’s. It was all at their fingertips. And mankind couldn’t resist playing with its new toys.

For years, ever since the “Dawn of Connection”, there had not been a single war that could be even close to being considered a “major conflict” by these leaders’ standards. A few thousand men her and there, such a pity, boo hoo. Any “modern” war was to be fought with death tolls in the millions, easy. But this saga of peace was coming to an end.

By the Age of Enlightenment there were five main power blocs. These organizations were like the EU of the Dawn of Connection, only on monster steroids. Some were theological in intention, others economical, some moral, others “adventurous”, but they all shared one thing in common: they were dominated by one nation. The European Union had survived to this present day, even though it had long since been renamed to the World Union. Its members included all of Western Europe (besides Switzerland), Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, the New Chezoslovak Republic, New Guinea, the Nordic nations, Brazil, and French Guiana. This union was headed and almost completely economically dominated by Germany.

The Third Union of Eurasian and Associated Nations, or TUEAN, was predominately composed of the Russian Empire (having renamed themselves after conquering Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Ukraine, Moldova, Poland, and Latvia). Other nations included Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgystan, Tajikstan, Austria-Hungary, the Yugoslavian People’s Republic, Serbia, Ireland, Morocco, Upper Mongolia, Colombia, Peru, Cuba, Chile, and Argentina. Most of these nations were puppet states to the Russian Empire, operating for Moscow’s whims alone, save the exceptions of Argentina, Peru, Cuba, and Ireland who joined of their own free will.

The Democratic Alliance was an organization that established itself after the war first began. From the start, as a military organization, it was dominated by the largest military: the United States of America, an entity taking up all of North America, save Canada, Greenland, and Independent Panama. The nations making up this alliance were the USA, Independent Panama, Scotland, England, Wales, Iceland, North Ireland, the Caribbean Republic, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Ecuador, the Falkland Islands, the Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Western India, Korea, Japan, South Africa, and the West African Confederation of Principalities (WACP). It also claims all neutral African states, which eventually led to their downfall along with the rest of the alliance.

The Grand Caliphate was an effort to “restore this misguided world and reinforce the power of Islam”, as stated in its constitution. It was overwhelmingly dominated by the Turkish Empire, a Muslim regime that took advantage of the West’s lack of caring hundreds of years ago and forged an empire out of Eastern Europe and the Levant. They owned Turkey proper, Greece, Cyrpus, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, and North Saudia in a loose confederation of unequal states. Other members of the league besides this Turkish “Empire” were Yemen, Oman, Iran, the UAE, the Egyptian Empire (which now owns Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia), Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mughalstan, Turkmenistan, Greater Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the loosely put together Confederation of East African Coastal States (CEACS).

The final power bloc in this struggle was the Pro-Asian League, or, as it was hastily renamed mid-war due to its English acronym spelling PAL, the League for Asian Supremacy, or LAS. This power bloc is basically only another name for a Chinese Empire, without getting all “nationalistic” and inspiring even more riots in its streets. The entire nation of China is crumbling by this point and there is little the government can do but stave the revolution off for as long as possible. But as far as the league is concerned, it is comprised of China, its small friend Lower Mongolia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Indian Maldives, Nepal, and a reluctant East India.






The day the Grand Caliphate formed, the war began. Or so they say. This alliance’s formation was a catalyst for the events that followed. A small border disagreement between northern Iran and Armenia escalated into something bigger when the GC was formed. Extremists from all across the GC flocked to Iran’s cries for assistants against the “scum of Armenia” and “border-hoppers”. Russia, sensing the trouble of this situation, wisely attempted to sign Armenia out of the TUEAN, but their strong allies, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania, and the Ukraine would have none of it. They, spurred on by such leaders as Ivan Smirnov, threatened secession. Russian President Vladimir Ivanov would have none of it. But, sensing the collapse of what he and his predecessors had worked so long to build, he had no choice. He allowed Azerbaijan to remain in the union. And, in childish spite, he mobilized his army to station in all of the unioned countries adjacent to the Mother. Of course, the GC saw these troops arriving in Azerbaijan as a direct assault on them. They called China into this conflict.

Nobody knows what cunning Emir Ozturk, President of the GC and Emperor over All Turks, and bumbling Chen Wei, Chairman of the People’s Republic of China and President of the PAL, said to each other. Nobody knows. All that is known is that Chen Wei and Emir Ozturk came to the conclusion that PAL intervention in Azerbaijan would benefit both parties. And, of course, as they should have learned from history, a minor struggle can lead to world war.

The War

“This fateful day, we unite to defend our freedoms. We unite to defend our liberties. We unite to defend… the world.” – President of the newly formed DA, Jeremiah Stuart

The details of the war are sketchy. What we do now will be said below, but, keep in mind, this may not be the full truth.

The Third Union of Eurasian and Associated Nations (TUEAN) came into conflict with the newly renamed League for Asian Supremacy (LAS, previously PAL) and the Grand Caliphate (GC) on the eve of International Winter Holiday. This day of blood would go down as the beginning of the end. In the beginning, the TUEAN made wonderful progress into the Middle East. The LAS was fighting a slow war in the cold eastern Russian wastes, but the Russian soldiers were much better equipped, better trained, and adapted to the winter climate. Invading Russia in the wintertime proved the fatal flaw of yet another world power. Soon, Lower Mongolia was “liberated” into the TUEAN, northern China was falling to Russian advances, and Cambodia had left the alliance. But the LAS didn’t like this, for obvious reasons. They called their “allies”, the World Union (WU), into the war with the threat of lost LAS products. The WU immediately agreed, and began attacking almost undefended western Russia, sieging Moscow within weeks. The war so far, even in this short timeframe, had been hectic, confusing, and fierce. About 350,000 men and women had died this far into the war, on all sides, according to sources from the UK. But it was about to get worse, much worse.

Russia, for all of its faults, was not the Soviet Union. In fact, it was a complete, if expansionist, conservative, and aggressive, democratic republic, and each and every nation had voted to join the TUEAN, despite what the WU spread about it. So, the USA, Canada, and UK saw this attack on the TUEAN as an attack on democracy. So, naturally, they took all of the neutral countries in the world and either convinced them or forced them to join their new confederate union, the Democratic Alliance (DA). Switzerland was the only exception. The new DA joined the war on the side of the TUEAN. The war was officially the TUEAN and DA against the WU, GP, and LAS.
The details of the war after this are hazy at best. The only knowledge we have is of the GP being completely decimated by DA forces from the south and TUEAN forces from the north, while eastern Russia and Japan officially fell to LAN control, with them making progress in Alaska. Moscow fell in about two years after the destruction of the GC. Then, the disasters flew.
Mankind had several weapons at their disposal. The DA and TUEAN each had ONMD (Orbital Nuclear Missile Dispenser) platforms, while the WU had long since forbidden nuclear weaponry. They were in a mainly defensive position after the siege of Moscow failed, and they had retreated to defend their easternmost and westernmost possessions. (They and the UK had signed a cease-fire, although the UK was at war with the LAN and the remnants of the GC.) But the DA made a grave mistake. In an act of incompetency and excitement, a United States battleship sunk an equivalent ship belonging to the TUEAN. This wouldn’t be much of an issue, except in a meeting between the DA and TUEAN, the United States president, Alson Mckinnith said some, ah, unsophisticated things about Vladamir Ivanov (Russia’s president) and his, er, “ideal fantasies.” And, so it began: the DA was declared enemies of the world. The entire world. Their major cities were nuked into devastation by the new temporary TUEAN and LAN alliance. In this “new war” sparked by opportunism and anger, the topographically devastated WU was neutral.

The Superweapon. The Earthshaker. The End of Weapons. The LAN, now shattered and reduced to China, Japan, Vietnam, and Chinese Alayeska had developed a weapon capable of starting a small earthquake. This would usually be a stupid weapon, but not in the case of the USA. Not in the case of the Yellowstone Supervolcano. The USA was destroyed that day. That day that they shook the ground.
The Supervolcano erupted. The ash destroyed the Midwest and all of the major food production centers of the USA. The nation, devoid of imports and abandoned by the now-neutral Canada, collapsed. The scraps were nuked into oblivion. The former USA was a hellhole.

The diseases that wrecked the Americas. The Ecstatic Plague and Mud Fever. The Ecstatic Plague: a disease that made you care nothing about the entire world, made you walk off of cliffs willingly, to use a comical illustration of a deadly disease. The lifespan of one with the Plague was only to about 40 or 35 years, and most died of lack of care before that. What had once been a natural solution to the low Cuban civilian moral by their government had led to the accidental release of this half-developed pathogen and the infection of the Caribbean, northern South America, and the Florida Peninsula. Mud Fever: as infectious as the Common Cold, as deadly as the flu. This virus was a TUEAN bioweapon, a moral killer more than anything, scheduled to become a mere benign infection in the populace after twenty years. And it did. But not before the American East Coast became Hell on Earth. Not before the American East Coast lost all civility It was ignored by the rest of the world as the old war resumed. And that, my friends, is where our story begins. Enough background. Now for the meat. What will the East Coast reform like? How will they react to the rest of the world? At what state will the world be in? Only time, and my history, shall tell.

And that's the end of the war. Like I said, this is all just background, and it is supposed to seem vague and unspecific, as it is the East Coast piecing together what happened. But, just to clear it up, look at the map. That's why the East Coast took so long to rebuild. And, be prepared for much more detail and precision, as well as a slower pace after this. That was just background. (And the Crawford Line on the map is a surprise!)
