It is the 23rd Century. Humanity is divided between two rival governments each claiming the status of "Earth Government", with rogue states precariously perched between them.
The first Earth Government is based in Indonesia, based upon hierarchy and the idea that superior talents in science and warfare should be given absolute authority and unleashed upon seemingly impossible tasks, like Napoleon or Andrew Jackson.
The second is based in Nigeria, built upon the principles of devolution and cultural autonomy. Like the Persian Empire of old, its armies let each vassal state contribute their own specialized units with their unique expertise to build an alltogether well-rounded army.
The largest of the rogue states is Gorkaniya, the result of the Pakistani exodus from their drought and flood plagued home upward into Central Asia and Northern India.
Working on a sci-fi campaign pitch, sort of a Front Mission kind of thing.
I'm looking for a hook so it isn't just a straightforward war between PCs from an autonomous state within the Lagos gov and scary mad scientists from Jakarta. Do you guys have experience running war stories?

Im digging it.

Where's America to bring the light of civilization and democracy to this poor rabble?
Jeremiah Russell
All the whites and some east asians left to space
Carson Diaz
Unironically interresting.
Hunter Thompson
what about the rebel states of america, a collection of rednecks, scrappers, machinists and mechanics who use old and secret US military tech to fight with people who have a clash of white trash and confederate habits that somehow get by despite the dwindling and falling apart amounts of US equipment
David Jenkins
In all probability, highly radioactive along with China and Russia

Sounds about right desu.
Adrian Young
Seconding this. Nobody cares about the Awful Shit Wars. I clicked because I saw Andrew Jackson. Am disappointed.

Not to mention africa's headed for a collapse sometime soonish. Japan's right to not give them any foreign aid, they just waste it on having more kids instead of actually fixing any problems

>Implying that trend isn't already being reversed with the fracture of the EU and the growing nationalism in the West.

Fuck off /pol/.

Then a charismatic super-human genius rises from the Himalaya's subjugates all of them with his geneforged army.

Hi /pol/ Welcome to Veeky Forums You must be lost. You can go home now.

we will live on in our memes and inferior race's attempts to capture our former glory. Kind of like literally every western country and Rome.
Brayden Anderson
This. The only realistic future is some new civilization claiming the glory of a previous one while doing things the old civilization would not have approved of.
Kayden Walker
At least pick someplace meme worthy like India or China, or Brazil
even if Africa collectively got it's shit together - which it won't because it's even more fragmented than Europe - the world pays so much attention to it and it's heaps of resources the current global super powers would *never* let them rise to a position of strength.

The Brazilian Empire attempts to recreate the Republican heyday of the United States?
the fictional one that comes in a hundred years after they get rid of the narco's and rampant corruption (lol)
Jason White
Them attempting to apishly follow the US and toppling the first empire is one of the biggest reasons Brazil was a shit-hole throughout the 20th century and remains one to this day.
