I didn't do it. @Tranhuviya did it as vengeance for an action taken by @Randall Fragg and I was just sort of involved in it.
EDIT: nevermind I was the one who used 50 tsar bombs and @Tranhuviya was the one who ignited the atmosphere
I think we need a timeskip so once @Valiant makes a new map it should be of the world at least a few decades from now because the current time is mostly unplayable
No mass weapons like god rods,nukes,asteroids,chemical weapons and nerve shit and magic that doesn't nuke or create a large natural disaster is allowed.
People who have abandoned their countries and the game can have their Territory taken.
People can't just invade and destroy someone's country,write a realistic war scenario with reasonable losses and victories.
@Valiant should be judge or some third party country to decide who is the winner in a user vs user war.
Treaties and organizations between countries should be realistic and not ooverpowered
This is just a suggestion if we decide to reboot this.
@Valiant Is god almighty here and she will decide for us.
AN has a good idea. World building is simply that world building. I am going to not do much with the territories with minor approval changes since develooment so nuking the fuck out of everyone isn't a viable option. I will add in the newly founded or discovered areas and maybe some more easthetic choices. Blowing shit up and especially other peoples shit is not cool.
The bombs stunt growth briefly, the benefactors acknolwedge their mistakes. The effects fade quickly and life reamerges thanks to their ever guiding hands. You have all devloved into a simplier time with the knowledge of your anscestors who claim of a better time. The midnight of apocalypse has ended, welcome to the wreckage time.
Your empires remain intact and your lands carry the pockets of scareing but otherwise you are less well off since the explosion.
Basically you are now villages with the concept of modern times that can be employed. Enjoy.
While I am away, I suggest people start writing about the leaders and fleshing out their economy and cities rather then picking on other people. Write about what your nation feels about another and ask via PM about game changing or highend events (eg: nuking) occuring in other parts of the world.
I think that we should be able to PM @Valiant any secret weaknesses or strengths so it isn't just like we are pulling them out of our asses (although this may be too much work for @Valiant)
Was unwilling to engage in wars of aggression (although OK with preemptive strikes and sponsoring coups mostly against people not playing)
Had a terrible ground force prior to getting war cars from the empire of flame and walkers from kakadensha
needed to get ancient Genos technology in order to enter kakadensha
was unwilling to use nukes unless fighting against the atmosphere igniter
knew about the atmosphere igniter in the Veiled Isle (was used to destroy the old empire)
I guess I'll be the Snake Cult's various arms, inhabiting the nuclear disaster zone our autism created and Chuud Akul.
Their leader is the Pythian, a figure shrouded in mystery - and who works through proxies. The Pythian's existence is only known to outsiders by interrogation of captured spies, and their existence might not be a sure thing. The Pythian may just be a title taken up by the cult's leaders, or a demigod worshiped as the living son of Seth-Ha, or something else entirely.
Within the wasteland created by the great Porphyrian-Genos conflicts, the Grand Adept is the leader of the various snake cults springing up from Veiled-Porphyrian surviors, Aelfs, and Svenski tribes. He is a charismatic figure, with a dark aspect- capable of uniting the disparate elements into something to be feared.
The message of the Snake Cult is at first one of popular self-improvement, but this veneer hides a sinister truth- these are worshipers of a savage and brutal god, whose holy texts - the Vermic Scrolls - explicitly encourage his worshipers to take advantage of the weak and helpless for their own gain. The average snake worshiper is a self-centered individual, out for themselves- it takes a charismatic figure to rein them in and unite them into anything of worth militarily.
The cult works through infiltration, subversion and terrorism - using underhanded tactics to metaphorically put their foot in the door of a country's politics. Though trappings may change, the basic essence of a country's cult tends to remains the same.
-Not a country per se, more of a group of religious militants and barbarians with shared goals and beliefs. While this makes dealing with them directly a futile effort, it also makes them more of a subversive power than a direct one.
- No trust of secular science, or secular anything, really. Thus why everyone who follows it is a barbarian, or obsessed with the occult.
-After a set point of control over a country's affairs, the snake cult's influence starts to become really fucking obvious. Human sacrifices and bone altars aren't exactly easy to hide.
-Need to compete for Seth-Ha's favor, resulting in a factious nature and tendency to stab itself in the back. While a strongman can mitigate this somewhat, his power is vital to keeping things that way- making decapitation strikes an extremely effective tactic against the cult.
-Disgruntled peasants and minorities of all sort are a breeding ground for the cult's members, which offers a path to power. A free and fair society will find itself lacking footholds for the snake cult, making infiltration far more difficult. This in particular, is what made the serpent cult such an attractive option to Veiled-Pophyrians post 3rd scorching.

The Genos were originally nomads from the north who conquered the precursor empire with the exception of the difficult to access Veiled Isle. At the time the precursors were a decadent socialist "utopia" that were very opposed to racism and believed in accepting people of all races and cultures and mutual respect and gender equality. They were overrun by their predecessor ethnicity the Vana (the free in proto hyperborean and still in modern Genosian although it refers to free in the water column in modern Genosian) who were constantly raping and murdering precursors and getting flowers given to them by the presursors as an apology for their racism (precursors were essentially sweden) and eventually the few nationalist precursors fled to the Veiled Isle and the rest just accepted Vana rule.
The Vana had a combination of a feudal system and capitalism where nobles owned the means of production instead of capitalists and these ownerships were passed down through inheritance this system was a product of invaders just taking whatever they could lay their hands on from the precursors. This all changed when the son of a prostitute who was given no name (called the man with no name but this is almost certainly referring to surname rather than given name) decided that he would rule over the Vana and thus become the most free person in the world. He started by creating a drug empire when it was still illegal producing his own LSD being an expert in biochemistry. He did this because he knew that it would become legal soon and when it did he made a major profit and ended up as a noble. Because he didn't have a surname he just called the the drug company Gengen entheogens (my entheogens) but eventually he changed the name to Genono entheogens (our entheogens) when he had a family and eventually he usurped the king with a populist uprising becoming similar to Napoleon. After usurping the king he declared that it was the beginning of a new era and confiscated all the fiefd oms of the nobles and instead gave them court positions which enabled them to influence national policies. He had 80 children and they all survived to adulthood. His heir Zehai Genos (having maked the word Genono into a surname by adding an old precursor suffix -s that was meaningless at that time) began work on an integrated underground system of bunkers mines and factories in order to make up for there being very little space left on the surface and underground structures often being build into each other. He also worked on biotechnology and realized that with the exception of the Genos family the nobility were all extremely inbred from generations of political marriages that led to severe genetic diseases and was likely the factor leading to the populist uprisings in the first place. Because of this he developed a system of political marriages which would maximize heterozygote advantage as well as continue to facilitate alliances (and conveniently give his family massive harems) as well as devise several plans to keep the noble blood pure claiming that the man with no name was the bastard son of a noble despite it contradicting the justification for the system.
This system was unpopular with other nobles but with the threat of rebellion and seeing him as their only hope to survive they followed it anyways. Within a few generations it was normalized but there was still the threat of mutational meltdown so the great grandson of Zehai Genos created a novel solution: induce haplodiploidy within the nobility. Knowing about the system from his study of the obscure bee people (the pre bombonians but they lived near the veiled isle rather than in their current location) he was put off from the lack of a y chromosome and the difficulty in giving injections for it so he decided to alter it such that the Genos Y chromosome would be able to survive through the addition of the Z chromosome and the 23rd chromosome to all nobility. This made all female nobles display recessive traits as well as making interbreeding impossible (female nobles impregnated by male commoners would have the 23rd chromosome malfunction and cause an abortion, male nobles impregnating female commoners would lead to the creation of a haploid embryo. This was a much more major genetic modification than any nobles have ever done before but most of them had minor ones changing eye and hair colour thus giving them anime like hair.
When this ocurred it caused a rogue faction of the nobles to bring Genos technology to the precursors on the Veiled Isle in order to try to destroy the Genos empire. They developed the atmospheric igniter which was a device capable of starting a chain reaction that would destroy much of the breathable atmosphere and release enough energy to destroy much of surface infrastructure. They tried to incite populist rebellions against the Genos since they wanted to regain the land for themselves. There were millions of soldiers and rebels fighting all around Genos but eventually it seemed that the Genos were winning (although many had submarines prepared to leave for the ocean at least until the rebellion stopped) until intelligence collected from a Genos himself who was going to be involved with the atmospheric igniter until he realized that he was betraying his family indicated that the atmospheric igniter was going to be activated in the Veiled Isle. He told all the nobles about this and got them to launch nuclear weapons at the veiled Isle in order to limit the effects of the igniter as well as airburst nukes over the cities as scorched earth tactics to prevent pursuit. This occurred and the igniter was unable to destroy the world as well as forming a protective sphere around its use point isolating the Veiled Island for generations. In the several underground areas the people fighting there eventually entered into ceasefires and lived there for a few generations but eventually they exited the tunnels to live on the surface again
Once the Genos were in submarines with the rest of the world mostly destroyed they initially wanted to go back on land as soon as possible to reclaim their empire but eventually they decided otherwise. Because of the fear of biological attacks of which they were highly vulnerable to due to a lack of genetic diversity they decided to remain in an isolated environment and due to fear of the igniter being used again they decided to build their infrastructure to be immune to it. They invaded the land of the merfolk leaving them just to the northern areas while killing all other merfolk building their infrastructure such that eventually they would be able to go back on land and retake the underground infrastructure and the igniter. For this purpose they built drones to take the land but they were unable to produce land vehicles while underwater. They mined underwater in order to get metals in order to use nuclear reactors to get power for their civilization. While in this state all families dissolved and as a result most people became of similar descent and they became more civic minded because of the small equilibrium gene pools
Afterwards they just took the southern Dangan confederacy through coming out of the water and declaring themselves the rightful king (while using drones) and then everything that happened so far happened
The end of the world is an area which is inhabited by demonic invaders. In the past it was merely an area with plains but the atmospheric igniter opened up a long sealed portal to the demonic realm. Long ago the demons used to be the masters of the Vava but as they became the Genos and studied science more the demons eventually abandoned them seeking more gullible servants. They were sealed by the first usage of the atmospheric igniter and released by the second usage. They gain their power through belief in them and are powerless when nobody believes in them
In search of new coastal areas,an tir baine,annexes alfheibike and invades the Luna republic,casualties are high on both sides but Nord trump has captured 20% of the republic in just 2 weeks.
The Genos invade Xirthi and Terra Arielis through the long abandoned hyperloop. The Xirthi were easily destroyed through using chemical weapons in their caves. Terra Arielis was more difficult but all their forces were located on the land border with Alfheim to stop a potential Nord Trumpian invasion and on the coast so the Genos were easily able to perform a land offensive from the hyperloop well inside Arielian borders. Most Xirthi died, there were few Arielian casualties in the initial invasion but the rebellions may have more.
They also reinvade the remaining Inhabitable Dangas with no resistance
They put a barrier in the hyperloop entering Nord Trumpian teritory for the moment
Blue is demonic territory, Green is Genos territory, Red is Nord Trump territory
A great Highlander horde emerges from the steppes of Chuud Akul to assault the End of the World and enslave it's people, accompanied by a host of Svinski sellswords. As this occurs, the snake cult's evangelists continue their work in the wasteland left by what is now being called the Third Scorching.
Various warlords begin emerging as powers, with their advisers invariably being cult priests. The desert is stained with blood as they fight to assert dominance over one another.
Ard Trump sends heavy tanks and gunships to pulverise the primitive mutants that tried to invade the state of end of the world.
Thousands are killed and the only casualties in trump's side are just some tons of ammunition.
