What kind of cool stuff might happen between countries and cultures in a cyberpunk setting, 30-50 years in our future?
Not gauging how plausible any of these ideas are, just how fun for players to game in.
>India breaks up after Chinese invasion >Franco-Germany invades eastern Europe in the name of the EU >Russian-Turkish War over the Caucasus...again >Iran invades and subjugates Iraq and the Persian Gulf, leading to a cold war with Saudi >Second American Civil War with the Coastal US fighting the Interior US >Turkey invades Greece and the Balkans >China creates a mercantilist economic bloc that surrounds most of SE Asia >Nigeria absorbs neighbouring countries, gets its shit together and becomes an African superpower, kicking out other powers from the continent >Sino-Japanese war over a fragmented Korea
It's quite impressive that I can see both her buttcrack and cleavage, but her back must be hurting like hell

It's a cantilevered system: the butt balances out the cleavage and the micromesh-shear gel ballistic armor keeps everything wrapped up tight.

How about >China has a break away republic territory. Due to the strategic placement of nuclear weapons in the territory, china would not dare invade due to the promise of nuclear retaliation. America intervenes by forming an alliance with the new territory. The Chicoms are overcome by a "we wuz" mentality at the sight of their own kind breaking away.
Players are part of a US government intelligence team in the territory trying to gain information on China. However another threat is raising in the middle east. One that threatens to corrupt the nascent republic.
This is set in the near future in an alternate 2020.

>The Chicoms are overcome by a "we wuz" mentality at the sight of their own kind breaking away. Like Taiwan or Xinjiang? Don't get the 'wuz' reference.

So how would it look if both left and right leaning groups in the United States began to fight it out? Doesn't matter who started it but it's gotten so bad to the point it's crippling the United States economically and militarily as both sides are not only fighting each other but the government as well.

I would change >Players are part of a US government intelligence team in the territory trying to gain information on China. to >Players are part of a US government intelligence team trying to destabilize china
Oliver Ortiz
Yes, but bigger this time.
Dont forget there were a few republics before they were conquered by Mao's forces.
I would especially enjoy making up weapons for them.
Like the T101, a local copy of the American Calico liberty machine pistol. Except it is in .45acp. Its remarkable features are a 38 round helical magazine and muzzle slant compensator. Its rate of fire is 750rpm. Its accuracy is about 20 meters but on single shot it can be pushed out to 30m with its long 7 inch barrel.

Fragmented China's been done several times already in both Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun.
Well, fragmented everything is assumed in most cyberpunk settings.
