AH challenge: Superpower

On Augusty 29th 2001, barely 10 years ago, they held most of the world in an iron grippe.
In the grim darkness that had sine long engulfed the world, there was only endless slaughter, opression, hatred and madness.
It was with great pride that they had made torture, mutilation, hunting and other such activities into the finnest of arts.
Insanity, a liberation of the mind.
Innocense, the most hated sin of all.
Antic ideas (such as parliamentarism, democracy, constitutionalism, moderation tolerance, rights etc) had all been cast away and forgotten a long time ago, by the peoples of the world.

When their suprem leader was eliminated by the self-propelled blade of an assassin, their retaliation was the overnight impallement of more than 30 millions civilians, an entire nation had its population deported before being burned down to the ground, its soil deliberately poisoned by radiations as to make this land inhabitable.
Few nations where capable to resist this power: Some stretching over the northern plaines, other where entrenched in the mountains of south western orient, more present on the western coast of the occidental continent, last but not least was the great empire of the Hans.
Most of these powers hovewer where letting their military strenght decay and ebbe-away while their ennemy slowly grew more powerfull, their increasingly rotting and petty leadershipe basking in their own weakness was keen to avoid the conflicts that would destroy their undeserved powers.
Lead by the Realm of Novogorod, even fewer had actually learned from the disasters of the past, where appeasement had each time resulted in the brutal of wars.


Yes, for if the power that held the world was cruel to its ennemies, it was even more grime toward those who for some reasons prefered to lay down arms and surrender when they where actually capable to resist.
Especially when these reasons where cowardice, greed and foolishly reactionnary dreams of peace and understanding.

Finally, events prooved most higly surprsising. The world order shattered like glass, leaving soon nothing but chaos and anarchy. A revolution swept the nations of the northern wastes and plains, slaughtering the parasites weakening them and uniting them as one while the Empire of the Hans decided to take advantage over the power vaccum.



AH Challenge: What is this power, who are the peoples truly loyal to it? How did the nature of this power emerge?
