This is a map for the aftermath of Red Alert III, a map in which the Empire of Rising Sun has been destroyed by a combined Sovjet and Allied effort. This leads to a renewed Cold War between the Sovjet Union and the Allies. As the alliancie of convenience and the incredible effort it took to completely take down any Imperial presense in the former Empire of the Rising Sun has disallowed a coninuation of the war. Now 50 years later new factions have risen in the world.
NAPDO, North American-Pacific Defensive Pact. The NAPDO was established 10 years after the initial defeat of the Japanese. With the Allied/American occupation zone being Japan proper as well as Taiwan and various Pacific islands the United States began to focus on the Pacific ocean. With the West Coast becoming more and more important due time. After the pacification of Japan by the Allies it became a new allied nation. Together with Taiwan, which became an independent nation far earlier due to it's bad history with the EotRS. Now the NAPDO an alliancie between nations at the Pacific dominated by the United States of America has become a more seperate faction amongst the allies, with it's main inter-alliancie rival being the European Alliancie. Later on nations such as ANZU, Argentinia, Chile and the Guyana Union joined as well. A short pawn war between the Sovjet Union and the NAPDO alliancie made the rearrangement of the Caribean possible. In this process Haiti and the Dominican Republic joined the NAPDO alliancie, allowing the USA it's old eyesore Cuba to be surrounded, this has made Cuba a lesser threat in the eyes of the public, as rocket shields on Haiti, Bahama's and Jamaica now surround the island. The new public enemy was the Latin American Socialist Republic.
The NAPDO alliancie will allow a player to choose between several nations, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan and ANZU (Australian & New Zealandic Union)
European Alliancie or EA, the European Alliancie was established a mere 8 years after the war. With the Americans starting to focus on the Pacific ocean the Europeans decided to make their own more integrated defensive alliancie. Starting with the removal of smaller entities into more pan national entities. This created the enlarged Federal Republic of Germany which now includes Austria and Switzerland. As well as a split up of Belgium and a renewed Yugoslavian state. The Scandivian nations also decided to start a union to keep up with these new larger nations. After it's foundation the European Alliancie has quickly expanded from it's core members on the European continent, fearfull of the Sovjets the Republic of Turkey was soon allowed to join the European Alliancie. An effort of North African nations to defend themselves from communism which was at this time spreading rapidly through Africa was to form the Maghreb Union, which allowed to low population states of North Africa to form a strong nation with a stronger vote inside of the European alliancie. This was also the motivation for the Songhai Union or Sahel Union, as well as the various West African nations that merged. This policy of merging was strongly supported by the European Alliancie.
The European Alliancie allows the player to choose between the following nations: Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom, the Republic of France, the Maghreb Union, the Scandinavian Union and the Republic of Turkey.
The Commintern, more commonly
rolleyes
known as the Sovjets is an organisation established to spread that what is sugar, spice and nice around the world, namely Communism. After several large reforms the Commintern was modified to be a somewhat more equal alliancie between the many communist nations. Who's number was increased quite a lot after the war. The Sovjet Union started a process of decentralation of Russian power. With the Russian Socialist Republic still being the most populous and most developed nation in the Commintern, but greatly reduced in territory. The Russian Socialist Republic is however a part of the Sovjet Union properly, the first step in the Commintern towards a unified Communist world state. Aside from the Sovjet Union the Commintern originally included the People's Republic of China, but after it's liberation from the EotRS China has become an economical giant, making it split from the Commintern into a more capitalistic version of Communism as well as developing it's own sphere of influence in Asia.
Besides China the Warshau Pact, or arguably the Eastern European Federation was established to show the world that the Commintern was not actually dominated by Russia's national interests. The Baltic nations where released and together with Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ukraine they became a seperate and powerfull entity in the Commintern.
The Commintern allows the player to choose between the following nations: The Russian Socialist Republic, the Warshau Pact, the Persian Socialist Republic and the Latin American Socialist Republic. (I'm still looking for other interesting options, perhaps something in Africa.)
The Shanghai Treaty Organisation, or also known as the Chinese sphere of economic vassals is a nation that filled up the vaccuum that the EotRS left after it's defeat. With massive Sovjet and Allied aid the People's Republic of China quickly recovered and had an economic boom. With it's massive population it was sure to dominate East Asia in the name of Communism. This is where the allied aid mattered. As the Chinese began to see the virtues of Capitalism they started to distance themselves from the Sovjets, thus after several years creating their own independent sphere. The Shanghai Treaty Organisation was thusly established at about the same time as the NAPDO was created. But the Shanghai Treaty Organisation, unlike what NAPDO propaganda claims, actually started out as a mere trade agreement between Korea and China. But with China's growth more nations wanted to affiliate themselves with the Chinese. To hop on their economic bandwagon. And while the allies where busy in Japan, the Carribean and Latin America the Chinese managed to tie several East Asian nations to them. Eventually including the other economic giant in East Asia, namely Indonesia. Indonesia is the strongest partner of the People's Republic of China in the STO. And with it's large population and natural resources a good balancer in the STO council. Thus allowing smaller nations to have a voice against China if Indonesia get's the rest behind it. Which has allowed the slow transformation of the STO into a more military alliancie. Thus becoming a new superpower block. This new status was strengthened as the Commintern asked for Chinese help in spreading Communism in Africa. With the STO it's interest in Indian Ocean trade a great project was started in East Africa. Which after several dozens of wars and economic treaties became a new entity. The East African Rebuilding Organisation, ironicly most the need for rebuilding was caused by STO money.
As the Shanghai Treaty Organisation the player can choose between the following nations: The People's Republic of China, the IndoChina People's Republic, the People's Republic of Indonesia, the People's Republic of the Philippines and the East African Rebuilding Organisation.
The world today,
After another 20 years the world has become a more multipolar one. With no longer two factions dominating the world. And while the Europeans and Americans are still closely allied, as are the Chinese and the Sovjets new powers are on the rise, and differences between old allies begin to grow. Brazil, South Africa and India may offer the key to dominating the world of tomorrow. As every faction is striving for power, a cold war is about to go hot!
