Bio: By the close of WWII, the ailing British Empire had been absorbed by the United States, with neighbouring areas being conquered thoughout the late 1940s and early 1950s. Following the Great Purges of the 1950s and 60s, the party was subjected to increasing levels of observation and control, soon spreading to the general populace (the proletariat or proles). By the mid-1970s, the characteristically Orwellian features of NewSpeak, doublethink, continuous war and the thought police had been adopted. By the 1980s, the party began to lose control, with large parts of the nation breaking away. Eventually, the Millenial Wipeout was concieved as a final solution to the problems of rebellion, a solution which was extrordinarily unsuccesful.

Bio: After the failure of Operation Overlord in 1944, it was left to the Soviet Union to 'liberate' Europe, though in practice this meant installing puppet regimes in the various liberated nations. However, as the 1950s wore on, the increasing demand for greater control had led to these puppet states, along with Iberia, Italy and much of the Middle East, being annexed. The already harsh progroms became still harsher, and eventually, as with Oceania and Eastasia, the Orwellian regime had been firmly fixed in place. After this, the history follows in much the same vein as the other members of the 'Big Three'.

Bio: The youngest of the 'Big Three', the origins of this state can be traced to the absorbtion of the Japaneese Empire by the People's Republic of China and her puppet states in Vietnam and Korea after WWII. Following this, India was absorbed, and the traditional tenants of Threeism put in place. After 1984, the history parrallels that of the other Threeist superstates.
