Brief introduction
How long has it been since the end ? A few years? A decade? The world has changed dramatically. I can't believe people lived there without never-ending struggles like wars, crime, poverty...nevertheless, the old days are completely gone and will never return. Will not they?

A major international conflict between superpowers resulted in a devastating nuclear war (Mushroom War). Noone could escape the atrocities that raged all across the globe. The world turned into chaos, yet few managed to ensure relatively stable living. The rest has to live in perpetual fear of ravaging horrors. Will you bring back peace and prosperity? Or humanity is doomed forever? It is up to you.

Timeline
So, what is the current state of Europe? Europe, so is the rest of the World, is in chaos, except for a few regions. Marauders and sea pirates thrive from unresistable violence. Paris, Berlin, Moscow, and other former metropolises are all almost gone. Crime, poverty, plague, and war are everywhere. The soils are poorly fertile, yet the radiation is surprisingly not damaging. Climate change and desertification are destroying whole ecosystems. Cold areas have become colder and hot areas have become hotter. In general, the World has become an uncontrollable mess!

Despite the chaos ravaging across the continent, there are a few first beacons of "stability":


 * Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Crete, Cyprus are so different, yet similar. They all managed to take actions against violence by creating confederations of towns and villages across the islands. On the other hand, they struggle with maintaining what they have already and cannot expand further (except for surprisingly successful Sicily, which plans to expand soon). They managed to overcome crime with different means. For instance, Sardinia and Corsica are direct democracies, whereas Crete and Cyprus are authoritarian dictatorships. As for Sicily, it is controlled by the mafia that prospers from crime across the Mediterranean. This is why Sardinia and Corsica are members of the "Mediterranean League" which was made to protect the seas from pirates.


 * Switzerland was one of the few countries that didn't participate in the Mushroom War and managed to almost completely preserve itself thanks to a variety of projects. Yet there are difficulties with feeding its own population due to the low fertility rate of soils and devastating climate changes. Switzerland can't expand unless it solves this issue.


 * England (United Kingdom) was one of the major participants in the Mushroom War. But, unlike the others, it had a well-developed defensive system in South-East England and London. It is the only state that doesn't suffer from food self-insufficiency and began expanding quickly last years.

Current military conflicts

 * Invasion of Bosnia: Illyria, Zastava Junta (aggressor) / Sarajevo Republic (defender)


 * Carthaginian-Maghrebi War: Carthage (aggressor) / Sultanate of Al-Maghreb (defender)

Events:

 * Rise of Algerian pirates: the amount of pillaging and plundering settlements of the Mediterranean Sea has slightly increased last years. In addition, the pirate cities of Algeria begin joining under the common jurisdictions, causing even more issues for the dwellers on the coast and bringing even more damage in the future.
 * Biting cold winter: territories with continental climate had to face biting cold winters causing a variety of issues. Thousands of people are forced to leave their homes and migrate to lands with milder climate in order to survive, flooding the coastal areas.
 * Stability comes back! Despite the rise of Algerian pirates and Sicilian mafia, life in the Mediterranean region seems to become more stable and safe. Wealth and prosperity are growing, whereas crime and violence are decreasing. Perhaps, living in a brave new world may not be so terrible...

NPC turns:

 * Sardinia and Corsica: the alliance between Corsica and Malta was created because of the rise of the Sicilian mafia, but a new threat, pirates of Algeria, made them strengthen their ties even further, adopting new common jurisdiction and creating collective armies and navies in order to ensure safe trade in the Mediterranean.
 * Sicily: the Sicilian mafia expands and increases its influence in South Italy, bringing in more crime to this region. On the other hand, cities of the region try to resist the upcoming violence and begin merging under common jurisdictions similar to Sardinia or Corsica. Will the mafia prevail? Or people of the region will fight back and defeat the scarlet menace?

 * Nador: Sometimes referred to as the "Capital in the East" as it is the easternmost city in Al-Maġhrib, however due to the distance between Tangier and Nador being so large (considering there aren't any roads), Nador has developed a distinct culture to that of Tangier.
 * Sabtah: Formerly known as Ceuta, Sabtah is a Small Port Town and the closest town to Europe. Due to its long history as being part of Spain, Sabtah has a distinct culture from that of Tangiers, since its culture is a mix between Spanish and Arabic.
 * Economy: The economy is doing quite bad, after the whole Apocalypse situation the economy is mostly based on agriculture and fishing, however there is also a push by Ismail II to make the arts more prominent in these depressing times.
 * Demographics: After the Mushroom War, the survivors grew fearful, as they witnessed most of they're families and friends die, the Atheists believed in Allah out of fear. There are some, located in Sabtah that are Christians because of the previous Spanish rule in Sabtah, however, Ismail II respects they're religion and doesn't force them to convert to Islam, instead they are allowed to live in peace in Sabtah.

 * Expedition North: Out of the 280 volunteers for expeditions left, Ismail II sent 10 to go in an expedition north, to the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. Ismail sends these 10 volunteers in a small boat from Sabtah to avoid being seen by Algerian pirates, and told the volunteers to see if the lands of Andalusia were suitable for settlement, specifically, Gibraltar and Cadiz.

Republic of Brittany

 * Government: Democratic Presidential Republic
 * President: Elouan Auger
 * Parliament: None. As the state is still forming, the president has almost absolute power over the republic for now.
 * Economy: Terrible. Our people mainly feed off of fish and supplies and are growing crops for bigger amounts of said food.
 * Capital: New Brittany (basically the city of Brest but renamed)
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ~20,000
 * Religion:
 * 89% Christian
 * 9% Atheist
 * 2% Other
 * Wars and Conflicts: None
 * Diplomacy:
 * Anyone Nearby: Hello? Anyone around? Anyone alive, rather?
 * Events:
 * Rebirth!: Joy! The city of Brest survived the Mushroom War. Though, understandably left at the hands of fate, the region of Brittany was left with no rule nor authority, until a man by the name of Elouan Auger rallied up the people and motivated them to rebuild the city of Brest and re-name it "New Brittany". He had declared the city a capital of a new republic, born to give hospitality to people and to rebuild the world that had fell into utter destruction not long ago. The Republic of Brittany was reborn! The people had chosen none other than Elouan Auger himself to serve as the first president of the Republic of Brittany.
 * Survival of the fittest: Elouan Auger had only started the republic, but he also needed to take other things into consideration - food won't fall from the sky. By sending volunteers into nearby towns, they have brought back some tools that would be handy to start farming. Mostly creating fields near to the capital that is also being rebuilt, we foresee a stable income of food if the crops do indeed start growing along with fishing.
 * Rights and freedoms for the people!: The president had declared that the Republic of Brittany shall tolerate the rights and freedoms of the people of Brittany, however, their privilege must and shall be to do anything for the greater good: from farming, fishing to building or scavenging. Little schools are also established in old buildings that teach children and teenagers from the age of 7 to 16 basic maths, French, history and Military Preparation/Physical Education (depending on the legal guardian of the child).
 * Military for the Republic?: Knowingly that the world shall surely not be welcoming as it once was, it's a hard fact that a military shall be needed to ensure the safety of the people and the Republic. Elouan Auger had created a draft with details about the military for the future, but the plans shall be put down for another time, as getting a police force and means of getting food is first on the president's list, a constitution - second and the military shall be left for last.

Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy, ruled by Ismail II of the Alauite Dynasty
 * Dynasty: Alauite
 * Sultan: Ismail II
 * Expansions:
 * Connection of Tangier and Nador: With Tangier and Ceuta being so far from Nador, Sultan Islamail II has ordered to start the process of expantions so the two cities can be connected by road. Withn the people of Tangier and Sabtah expanding east and the people of Nador expanding west.
 * Espansion North: With the expedition Ismail II sent a year prior now back, they have concluded that they are suitable for settlment. Upon hearing this news Sultan, Ismail II has asked for volunteers to settle in what was Gibraltar, however Ismail II has decided to change its name to Jabal Tariq, as it is the Arab name for the city. Eventually he gathers up 500 volunteers and sends them off to settle Jabal Tariq.
 * Cities: 
 * Tangier: Capital of the Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib, home of Sultan Ismail II. It is the largest and westernmost city in Al-Maġhrib. Tangier is the cultural hub for Al-Maġhrib, with the most important things, being in the city.
 * Nador: Sometimes referred to as the "Capital in the East" as it is the easternmost city in Al-Maġhrib, however due to the distance between Tangier and Nador being so large (considering there aren't any roads), Nador has developed a distinct culture to that of Tangier.
 * Sabtah: Formerly known as Ceuta, Sabtah is a Small Port Town and the closest town to Europe. Due to its long history as being part of Spain, Sabtah has a distinct culture from that of Tangiers, since its culture is a mix between Spanish and Arabic.
 * Jabal Tariq: The most northernmost city built, the only city in Iberia (at the moment) and not to mention the newest city. As of now Jabal Tariq doesn't have much as they were just created, however a port has just started to be built to ease travels from Iberia to Morocco.
 * Economy: While still bad and mostly focused on agriculture and fishing, the mining industries in Al-Maġhrib have impacted the economy in good ways, creating more jobs, and the economy is slightly improving because of it.
 * Demographics: The population of Al-Maġhrib has grown by 2,000, with the new settlments of Jabal Tariq taking people away from Tangier, however the city has also grown by 1,000, mainly from people from rural areas moving to the city.

Ismail II was amazed by this, ordering them to be part of the Royal Al-Maġhrib Navy. The government also started working on building ships, specifically Frigates and Corvettes, however these would take time as they didn't have the equipment necessary.
 * Mining Industry: In order to continue building the navy, several materials are needed, including zinc and titanium, which can be found in the Rif Mountains, this builds up the mining sector of Al-Maġhrib, mainly for minarals such as the once mentioned previously. New jobs are created because of the mining sectors, and the economy is starting to grow slightly.

Events:

 * Brubar Cult: the cult of "The Mother" is spreading like fire in the woods! It is taking over former major cities in Poland like Krakow and Katowice, in addition to a lot of small villages and towns. The cult is growing in power every day, bringing stability and peace there.

 * Crete: Crete has begun taking over little islands of Cyclades and plans to start with Sparta to reunite the Greek nation.
 * Basque: Basque has always been the most stable region in Iberia since the end of the Mushroom War. The people there enjoyed peace and prosperity. So, in June 8 PEE, Bilbo, Vitoria, and Zarauz signed to create a new state - Basque Confederacy. They strongly believe in the bright future of the Basque nation in this brave new World.
 * Albania: during the communist government from the 1960s to the 1980s, a total of over 173 thousand bunkers were built. The bunkers helped Albanian people stay safe and from atrocities of nuclear war and eventually survive. Nowadays, Albania is a quite densely populated and stable region of the Balkans. Pogradec, Elbasan, and Struga merged to create the Albanian State, with the aim to establish a great empire in the Balkans.
 * Varna Union: the Black Sea is currently controlled by pirates and Crimea Mafia ( the Crimean Technate has no relation to it :/ ). The seas are dangerous and unstable. In order to ensure safety of transportation, connection, and trade in the region, the officials of Varna, Burgas, and Sunny Beach (it has later transformed into a proper major city) declared the creation of Varna Union, an authoritarian democracy. They invite Crimean Technate and other cities to join the fight against the crime in the Black Sea region.

Magyarország

 * Government: Fascist ultranationalist dictatorship
 * Supreme Leader: Laszló Orban
 * Parliament: Ostensibly exists, but has very little power over the government and is fully controlled by Fidesz.

 * Diplomacy: Hello? Anyone around? (hears static on the radio) Anyone still alive? Hello?
 * Events:
 * Rise of the Orbanist Religion: A cult of personality has sprung around the Supreme Leader and his family. In Orbanism, Viktor and Laszló Orban are regarded as prophets of God, and that every statement that has ever come out of their mouth is divinely-inspired truth. Orbanism also asserts other magnamious claims about the Orban family, including that Viktor Orban defended the Hungarian people from the Syrian invaders (the Syrian Refugee Crisis had been morphed into an invasion by distortion caused from generations of retellings of the story) and killed them all with nothing more than his bare hands.
 * ”Food Relief”: Laszló Orban announces an edict regulating food rations. Of note in this edict is that minorities and other “undesirables” (e.g those with mental disabilities, those who oppose the State, and those descendent from former liberals or Communists) recieve around 10 times less rations than “normal” ethnic Hungarians.
 * Exploration: We begin to explore in all directions, looking for traces of other civilizations in this post-apocalyptic world.

The Venetian shelter contained a lot more people, however, the one in Pula had more resources. The Venetian group got in contact with the other group, asking for support. In the nick of time, resouces were sent off to Venice. Along with the supplies was a unification offer. Once they were both safe, they were to unify under Istria-Venezia. Venezia accepted this offer. They also both built one ship each with the wood they had (Venezia building another one after they left the shelter) so that they could communicate. The Venetians sent a ship across the Adriatic, and once the ship returned, the nation of Istria-Venezia was born. The Croatians and the Slovenians (which resided in Pula) used Istria as their demonym, the primary language amongst them becoming Croatian. The Venetians did not undergo a name change, and simply stayed as the Venetians. Italian remained as the primary language.
 * Shipbuilding #1 & Expansion: The only way of communication between the two halves of Istria-Venezia was 3 ships. This dropped to 2 when one ship disappeared, presumed to be underwater. Because of this, more ships were built for communication. Just in case something happened to Venezia or Istria, they decided to expand north towards the northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea. This connection would be very thin, only reaching about half a kilometer. However, this was soon to change, as they planned to make this line for more than just communication, finally combining the two sections.
 * Shipbuilding #2 & Paid Explorers: Once Istria-Venezia realized that their new ships were losing their purpose, they decided to give them a different reason. These ships were sent southward, in hopes of finding civilization. A few months later, they came to the realization that there may also be people inland. Thus, the government decided to give food and water to the families of volunteers if they accepted the offer to leave home to explore (southeast for the Istrians, south and northwest (separate groups) for the Venetians). Many men and women took this offer, forming groups of about 400 people per group to find a trace of another nation, so that they could return home.

Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy, ruled by Ismail II of the Alauite Dynasty
 * Dynasty: Alauite
 * Sultan: Ismail II
 * Expansions:
 * Connection of Tangier and Nador: Sultan Ismail II has ordered the Al_maghrib.pngction of Tangier and Nador once more, with the city of Al Hoceima recetly discovered and integrated into the Sultanate, the eastern part of Al-Maġhrib becomes more centralized, allowing easier travel from Tangier to Nador, nevertheless, expansion midwards continues both from Tangiers and Nador, with Nador pushing more agressively west. It is expected that by next year, the Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib will be fully connected (excluding the territories in Iberia of course).
 * Espansion North: Following the settlement of Jabal Tariq in Iberia and with Sultan Ismail II seeking to expand his influence over Iberia, he then sent 2 expeditions from Jabal Tariq, one to the east and another to the west. In the east, the expedition finds its self with the former city of Marbella, which they rename "Marbia" (The Arabic name for Marbella). In the west, the expedition finds its self with the former city of Cadiz, renaming it to "Kadiz". Ismail II also orders to claim some land surrounding the 2 new cities.
 * Expantion West: In Nador, Sultan Ismail II orders to expand slightly west, although not building any settlements yet, Ismail II has some intentions at reaching Oran, at some point in the future, however he decides its best if Al-Maġhrib focuses on stabilizing its self and uniting.
 * Economy: While still bad and mostly focused on agriculture and fishing, the mining industries in Al-Maġhrib have impacted the economy in good ways, creating more jobs, and the economy is slightly improving because of it.

 * Military: With the threats of the Algerian Pirates, the Royal Al-Maġhrib Armed Forces are investing heavily in the navy, more than in any other sector of the military. However, as to not waste much resources trying to build ships, the navy resorts to try and finding ships that aren't being used at the moment, in the aftermath of the Mushroom War, these ships are free to take with nobody owning them. That was the case, when Ismail II ordered the expansion west of Jabal Tariq, the Al-Maġhrib Navy found 7 Destroyers in what was formerly the US Rota Naval Station in Rota, Cadiz, the Navy decided to restore the ships and managed to restore 3 out of the 7, with the other 4 expected to be restored by next year.

Napolitania

 * Government: Republic. Representative democracy.
 * Chief of Government: Bruno Bucciarati (Independent)
 * President of the Parliament: Leone Abacchio (VA)
 * Leader of the Opposition: Giuseppe Brando (MSN)
 * Napolitanian Parliament: The Napolitanian Parliament is made up of 40 councilors. Each of them is elected by direct vote across the 40 constituencies in Napolitania. The parliament has a presidency that is held by the leader of the largest party, while leader of the largest opposition party is named the official leader of opposition. Governing parties are marked in bold and opposition parties in italics.
 * Golden Wind (VA): 19
 * Napolitanian Social Movement (MSN): 8
 * Socialist Workers' Party (PSL): 6
 * Christian Democrats (DC): 5
 * Independents: 2
 * Economy: The economy is currently in a terrible state as a result of the Mushroom War and the rampant crime, although the latter is slowly being reduced under Bucciarati's conciliatory rule. Agriculture remains the main economic activity, with trade being the second. Bucciarati attempts to dissipate fears over the economy by saying that once the port of Napoli is restored and working, the economy will flourish once again.
 * Demographics: Napolitania is practically homogenous ethnically-wise, making tensions of this type nonexistant. Nearly half of the population is concentrated in Napoli. The Catholic Church remains a major source of faith for the Napolitanian, with the overwhelming majority identifying as catholics. Nevertheless, irreligion increased slightly after the Mushroom War.
 * Population: 25,000
 * Napoli (capital) 12,000
 * Salerno: 2,000
 * Potisano: 1,500
 * Sorrento:  1,300
 * Amalti: 1,200
 * Rural areas: 7,000
 * Religion: 
 * Christianity: 87%
 * Catholicism: 81%
 * Protestants: 5%
 * Orthodox: 1%
 * No religion: 10%
 * Other: 3%
 * Military: Guido Mista is appointed as the commander of the new military body of Napolitania, the Napolitanian Corps. While small in size, the Corps are for the most part experienced in urban combat since many of them are former Passione members. A few trucks are integrated into the Corps as well as a patrol boat that was rescued from the former port of Napoli.
 * Napolitanian Corps
 * 250 soldiers
 * 20 trucks
 * 1 patrol boat
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Mediterranean League: We request membership and increased trade, highlighting the threat posed by Sicily.
 * Events:
 * Formation: The creation of Napolitania came in a time of great tensions and uncertainty due to the rise of the Sicilian mafia. However, it wouldn't have been possible without the intervention of the current leader - Bruno Bucciarati. Bucciarati is a man with humble roots - it is known that his parents separated when he was just a child and that his father was murdered by a Sicilian mafia member shortly afterwards. He would go on to become a member of a criminal organization known as Passione, climbing its ranks at a rapid rate as a result of his skills. Despite being a mafia member, Bucciarati was extremely popular among the people of Napoli. He was seen as a sort of Robin Hood since he would help the poor and needed everytime he had the chance to. After becoming the leader of Passione, Bucciarati decided to put all of his efforts into unifying Napoli and its surroudings as he saw the expansion of Sicily as a dangerous threat. Eventually, he was able to rally Napoli and its surrouding towns under his cause, and the Republic of Napolitania was created. A massive caucus with the participation of every Napolitanian citizen was held to elect a Chief of Government (president). Bucciarati won an overwhelming majority and became the first president of the Republic of Napolitania. In his inauguration speech, Bruno Bucciarati announced the inmediate dissolution of Passione as a criminal organization, as it would transit to democratic ways. He also announced the creation of a parliament and promised new great times for Napolitania, saying that a new golden wind was blowing in Napolitania.
 * Parliamentary elections: The first parliament of Napolitania is elected on February 2nd, with 5 parties and a couple independent candidates participating. Vento Aureo (golden wind) is a pro-Bucciarati, centrist party lead by former Passione member Leone Abbachio, it takes its name from the golden wind expression used by Bucciarati in his inauguration speech. The ideology of the party is centered around socialdemocracy, liberalism and humanism, though the party mostly relies on Bucciarati's image. The Napolitanian Social Movement is a far-right neofascist party lead by Giuseppe Brando, also a former Passione member. It openly seeks to establish a totalitarian state and rejects the civil liberties promoted by Bucciarati's government, often using the image of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The third largest party is the far-left Socialist Workers' Party lead by Secco Cioccolata. As its name indicates, it follows the socialist doctrine and seeks to impose a workers' government. The fourth and smallest party is the Christian Democrats, a socially conservative, center-right party with ties to the Catholic Church. The elections ended with Vento Aureo winning a commanding lead but falling short of a majority (it won 19 out of 40 seats). Vento Aureo would go on to form a coalition government with the Christian Democrats, allowing Leone Abbachio to become the President of the Parliament.
 * Restoration of Napoli port: As part of his policies for Napolitania's develooment, Bucciarati announces that the port of Napoli, formerly one of the most important in all of the Mediterranean, will be restored. The plan will take a couple years, but there is confidence that once it is working properly there'll be an economic boom due to the high revenue that trade with other Mediterranean nations would generate.
 * Preventive measures: Since the sole existance of Napolitania has almost certainly already been seen as a potential threa by the Sicilian mafia, a couple of preventive measures are taken. Sicilian mafia members are arrested by the Napolitanian corps and investigations are conducted to estimate their real presence within our nation. Some other elements of the Corps are sent to patrol the borders and to guard fishermen from possible pirate attacks.

Events:

 * Apennine Flu: new flu appeared in the Apennine Peninsula and quickly spread across Italy and begins entering the other regions such as Iberia, the Balkans, and northern Africa. Though it is quite harmless and non-lethal at all, the plague is still a danger to society and slows down the development of post-war countries.
 * Brubar Cult: the brand new religion is quickly spreading and has already taken over a few regions. The first Brubar megachurch is being built in Katowice, Poland and is believed to become the Holy Site for all followers of "the Mother".
 * Napoli Protocol: a few more cities in Central Italy, including Rome, have signed the Napoli Protocol, increasing the integration of the whole Apennine Peninsula into a single political entity. On the other, the Sicilian Mafia continues infiltrating major cities and spreading crime across the Mediterranean region.

NPC Turns:

 * England: In addition to rapid expansion, the Royal Navy continues defeating the North Sea Pirates thanks to modernisation to the new ship design. A group of English diplomats arrived in Boxtel to ask to create the "North Sea League" as an analog to the well-known Mediterranean League.
 * Sicily: In spite of the Napoli Protocol, the Sicilian Mafia continues infiltrating the cities of South and Central Italy, spreading crime in the region. Diavolo, the leader of the Sicilian Mafia, replied to the creation of the Napolitania. In short, he stated that it will not stop him from pursuing his goals. In addition, the Sicilian Mafia offers military and economic association with Barbary Coast.
 * Mediterranean League: They accept Napolitanians' request.
 * Corsica: After years of waiting on the island, the leadership of Corsica and Sardinia has decided to include Venturina and Terme as a part of the quickly expanding confederation. This event marks the beginning of a new era in history of Corsica-Sardinia.
 * Crete: Crete conquers the city of Sparta, thus beginning its unification of the Greek nation.
 * Basque: Basque accepts Massalia's offer and offers to sign a trade treaty.
 * Varna Union: More cities join the Varna Protocol and Varna Union.
 * Albania: Albania joins the Nicosia League.
 * Murcia Inc.: Before the Mushroom War, Murcia Inc. was a megacorporation, based and founded in Murcia. In quickly expanded and grew into one of the biggest international corporations in the World, selling a wide variety of products and services produced only in the Murcia region. Because of this, Murcia has become the most prosperous region in Iberia, surpassing Catalonia and Madrid. Unfortunately, the nuclear war caused a lot of trouble for the company. Not only it could not spread across the globe, but the overall instability caused huge damage to the profits. Fortunately for them, they managed to quickly regain control over the region as they controlled the economy and possessed relatively powerful military forces. Yet, the corporation managed to ensure its position only recently. Will it reclaim its past glory? Only the time will tell...
 * USSR: During the last decades before the war, the World saw marxism rise in Scandinavian countries such as Denmark and Sweden. When the war occurred, people in these countries strongly believed it was a result of "imperialist capitalism". After the war, the region was unstable and unsafe until the former leaders of the ruling political parties decided to merge into a single entity and declare the Union of Scandinavian Socialist Republics, one of few statist states in Europe, if not the World. The theorists of Scandinavian neocybermarxism think cybercommunism is the only way to defeat capitalism, prevent another nuclear war and finally enter the society of post-scarcity.
 * Zastava Junta: Zastava Automobiles was founded in the early 1950s as a successor of the truck manufacturer. Even though it went bankrupt in 2017 and was later taken over by Fiat, in the middle 2020s, Zastava Inc. has entered the market again. It was heavily supported by the government of Serbia that strongly believed in the idea of mercantilism. It quickly expanded and transformed into a powerful military equipment manufacturer in less than a decade. The corporation was so successful, it began entering the other markets - from the food industry to different services like tourism. Zastava Arms was a key producer of military equipment during the Mushroom War. After the war, Zastava profited mainly from crime and production of military equipment, but recently it managed to take power in a few big cities in Serbia and declare military junta under the rule of "Zastava Industries".

 * Economic Focus Change: With the Istrovenezian-Basque-Massalian trade treaty, more and more focus is put on trade to return Venice and the Adriatic Sea as a whole to its former economic glory.
 * Apennine Flu Reaction: After examining the public, the goverment comes to the realization that the lfu in not lethal. Thus, they do nothing about it. Their main focus shouldn't be to cure a nearly harmless disease in post-apocalyptic times, after all.

 * Diplomacy:
 * Murcia Inc: The Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib offers a Free Trade Agreement, in exchange, all Murcian ships that travel through the Straight of Gibraltar will have a 50% discount fee.
 * Events:
 * Taxation of the Gibraltar Strait: Since Al-Maġhrib owns the straight of Gibraltar, Ismail II decides to make fees for ships that want to cross across, the fees would depend on how big the ships are and if they have any trade agreement with the Sultanate of  Al-Maġhrib.
 * Expantion in Iberia: The Sultanate of Al-Maġhrib expands further into Iberia, they manage to expand up to pre-Mushroom War Marbella, Ismail II also has intentions of expanding Al-Maġhrib's influence over the Iberian Peninsula even further, maybe even switching capitals at some point in the far future.

 * Rise of Christian orders: the post-war era is notable for the rise of religious orders and cults such as the Brubar Cult and Teutonic and Christiania orders. Many people believe the reason why the Mushroom War happened was the sins that spread all across the World, thus only belief in God can help create a better brave new world.

NPC Turns:

 * England: England continues the rapid expansion in Great Britain. The diplomats arrived in Dutch Rijk, Northern France, Brittany in order to sign the "Sea Act", sharing valuable information about the pirates of the English Channel and the North Sea and standardising and merging the fight against piracy. In addition, the diplomats in Dutch Rijk offer to create the "North Sea League" in order to strengthen the ties.

Many people blamed the existing political system for the current state. Yet, after the end of the Mushroom War, the leader of House of Braganza, Lucas Simões, returned to Portugal and declared himself the king. During the entire year, Lucas Simões managed to unite a few major cities such as Lisboa, Leiria, Setubal, Avis, and Castelo Branco, under the single rule of a king.
 * Christiania Order and Teutonic Order: The rise of religious order began right after the fall of worldwide civilisation, but all of these were uncentralised. Yet, in 10 PEE, both Christiania Order and Teutonic Order managed to seize power in the regions they controlled. the Cathedral, a religious orgnisation of religious orders and states including the mentioned orders, has recently declared "the eternal crusade against infidels".

 * Events:
 * Expansion: Successfully claiming the Breton peninsula, Elouan Auger hadn't yet decided to stop. He'd figured that for trading with Paris to become more safe from bandits, we need to border our territory and lands with theirs. Thus, we had begun expansion along the coastline of Normandy with our motives being to reach the Republic of Paris.
 * Tanks!: With more territory being explored and found, we had found more military technology that could be effectively used in combat in the future. Almost immediately, we begin incorporating tanks and artillery into our military.
 * The Appenine Flu!: With the Appenine flu hittig Western Europe and eventually, the peninsula of Brittany, Breton president Elouan Auger urges people to maintain strict hygienic standarts and not to overwork themselves. Rather valuing human life. Those who got seriously sick have been taken to the hospital and taken care of.

 * Rural Areas: ~8,000
 * Military: With tensions increasing in the Mediterranean, Sultan Ismail II is working to secure Al-Maġhrib, advertising the military and increasing the amount of money soldiers are paid, this is however met by critics as they say that spending so much money on the military will ruin the slowly recovering economy, however, the Sultan heads on with his plan regardless. This also applies to people building equipment, Ismail II is desperate to make sure the military has the most equipment possible, going as far as hiring inexperienced people and training them in order to be able to help in the manufacturing of said equipment. The Sultan has also ordered the creation of an air force, focusing mainly on bombers and attack aircraft, however some fighter planes are also being made. Besides manufacturing more equipment, the Sultan has sent scouts to Central Morocco in places like Rabat, Casablanca and Fes looking for equipment, they manage to find a couple of planes, some land equipment and a lot of Patrol Vessels, so many in fact that they're still restoring them to their full capacity.

 * Murcia Inc: We would like to create an alliance, seeing as we could really use one another in these diffecult times.
 * Events:
 * Hiring Privateers: With the rising threat of pirates, Sultan Ismail II has taken advantage of this by hiring privateers to raid enemy ships in times of war, however since there are no wars, right now they are a second layer of protection against pirates. Privateers share half of their earnings with the Government.
 * Expansion into Iberia: Seeing not much hope in Northern Africa, Ismail II makes  expanding into Iberia a priority, expanding to almost the Spanish City of Huelva all the way to the Spanish City of Nerja, not to mention, Ismail II gathered around 1,000 volunteers to settle in pre-Mushroom War City of Almeria and make it an Al-Maġhrib "colony", renaming itself to "Almiria".
 * Colony of Wehran: The Sultan gathered 1,000 other people to establish another colony, this time on Al-Maġhrib's home continent of Africa in the pre-Mushroom War city of Oran in Algeria. The city was made as a strategic port in order to combat pirates and secure trade in the Mediterranean.
 * Expansions in the Mainland: Al-Maġhrib made a few irrelevant expansions in Morocco, mainly expanding little in the East, while expanding a lot more in the Western Coast, hoping to at some point reach Rabat and Casablanca.

Events:

 * Apennine Flu: The Apennine Flu continues ravaging all across the continent, reaching Poland and the rest of the Balkan region. Though it is quite harmless and barely lethal, the plague is still a danger to society and slows down the development of post-war countries.
 * Brubar Cult: the construction of the first Brubar Megachurch has been finished and is believed to be holy site of all believers in "the Mother".
 * Napoli Protocol: after the official declaration of the Tyrrhenian League, many cities in central Italy that signed the Napoli Protocol also signed the Tyrrhenian Protocol, joining the Tyrhennian League.

NPC Turns:

 * England: the North Sea League has been officially created in London. England agrees to trade with Brittany.
 * Sicily: Sicily joins Nicosia League. Casa Nostra takes over more cities.

 * Mediterranean League: Al-Maghrib joins the Mediterranean League.
 * Dutch Rijk: Dutch Rijk signed the North Sea Act and joined the North Sea League.
 * Greek State: in 11 PEE, the government of Crete declared the creation of the "Greek State", thus claiming the territories of pre-war Greece. In addition, social credit becomes more totalitarian as new laws get passed.
 * USSR: USSR invites French Commune and PRC to the Soviet Internationale.
 * Murcia Inc.: Murcia Inc. refuses to create an alliance with Al-Maghrib as "it may reduce the profit".
 * Zastava Junta: Zastava Junta joins Nicosia League.
 * French Commune: Bourgogne region has become the centre of communist and marxist movements in France since the Third French Revolution in 2058. After the war, the cities of Bourgogne were under the communist red vest revolts, demanding the creation of the united French Commune. In 11 PEE, the French Commune was created and joined the Soviet Internationale.
 * PRC: the Catalan independence movement has almost disappeared in the 2030s after the Madrid revolt. Yet, the socialist and communist parties have become dominant in Catalonia, and, in order to increase the popularity, rallied for independence. After the Mushroom War, the communist militia seized power in cities of Catalonia and declared the People's Republic of Catalonia.
 * Brubar Theocracy: the Brubar Cult is one of the strongest religious cults in Europe. When the construction of the Holy Brubar Megachurch finished, the power of the cult has slightly increased and the religious leaders managed to take power in southern Poland and declare the Brubar Theocracy.

 * Diplomacy: Mediterranean League, Adriatic Alliance (Proposed)
 * Tyrrhenian League, Adriatic League, Napolitania: Would you like to form a military and trade alliance, with the name "The Adriatic Alliance"? We could stay in our respective alliances. We believe this would benefit us all, as we are all very similar culturally, and in dire times such as this, having good relations with everyone would be preferable.
 * Actions (Events):
 * Expansion: Their recent expansions have mostly been focused on smoothing out their Northern border and expanding down the Adriatic coast, to get nearer to their (hopefully) future allies.
 * Population Boom: The population seems to be growing quite rapidly in coastal areas as cities like Treviso, Verona, Ljubljana and Tolmin lose population. Their former residents go to the nearest cities: Tolmin to Trieste, Ljubljana to Rijeka, Verona to Venezia and Treviso to the newly founded "Nuova Citta Adriatica" (NCA). However, Ljubljana still seems to be holding on, due to the shelter that the Ljubljančan people was quite large, holding most of the population.
 * Naval Preparation: With new countries popping up left, right, and center, the republic assumes a war is bound to happen soon. So, they decide to be prepared, building two ships. They'll focus on more conscription later.
 * New Discoveries: After awhile, the group that was sent from Istria finally returns with news of a new country called the Adriatic League.
 * Candidate Preparations: With the first election after the founding of the country in a mere year, the candidates have started to advertise It seems that Bekić is going to win again, but provided enough support, Levačić or D'Avella might also have a chance.

Republic of Brittany
Events:
 * Government: Authoritarian Republic Dictatorship
 * President: Elouan Auger
 * Parliament: None.
 * Economy: Not the best, but slowly getting better. Our people mainly feed off of fish, food from crops and supplies and are growing crops for bigger amounts of said food. We allow privately owned businesses to do their work here. We trade with Northern France and England.
 * Capital: New Brittany
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ~40,000
 * Religion:
 * 88% Christian
 * 10% Atheist
 * 2% Other

 * 13 Anti-Air and Anti-Tank Artillery
 * Breton Navy:
 * 5 Patrol Vessels
 * 3 Destroyers
 * 2 Corvettes
 * Breton Air Force:
 * 30 Fighters
 * 30 Bombers
 * Diplomacy:
 * Republic of North France: I don't think the communist republic to our south is exactly friendly. Would you like to expand "New France" and seek more members to our alliance? Also, please change the alliance name. I don't think there ever will be a new France anymore.
 * French Commune: Hello? Are you friendly? ...Perhaps you'd like to set up a little trade for now?
 * Expansion: We continue expanding our territory along the coast of Normandy, hoping to reach the Republic of Northern France ASAP. Sheltering any survivor we can and putting any city or town under our government to rid of peoples' anarchic mindset.
 * The French Commune: With rumours spreading of a communist french state south below the Breton peninsula, Elouan Auger had actively begun to conscript more young men into the military. Not exactly fond of a "communist regime" for the French people, all he can do now is try to prevent such an attack from happening. But to fully ensure that the communist threat shall be contained from Western Europe, Elouan Auger will need to take other measures...

Republic of Northern France
Events:
 * President: Jens Serviaca
 * Parties:
 * Republique of Greatness (Active Party)
 * L'unite de Commandement
 * Economy: Getting better because of the population and technological boom.
 * Capital: Calais
 * Population:
 * Calais: 16.5k
 * New Amiens: 11k
 * Rural Areas: 13k
 * New Caledonia: 2.5k
 * Military:
 * Armed forces:
 * 3,000 soldiers
 * 40 Tanks
 * Navy of the Republic:
 * 15 Destroyers
 * 13 Tankers
 * Air Force of the Republic:
 * 25 Fighters
 * 19 Bombers
 * Diplomacy: Les Puissances Francaises
 * Actions:
 * Renaming of New France: President Jens Serviaca has agreed to Brittany's request, and have renamed the alliance "New France" into "Les Puissances Francaises", which translates to "The French Powers".
 * Sends a spy to The French Commune: We have sent one of our top spies to the country, and waiting for response on a hostile or peaceful country.
 * Beginning a joint cure for the Apennine Flu: We will send a telegram to every country, hoping for a joint cure for making the Apennine Flu dissapear.
 * Expansion Westward to reach Brittany: We have agreed with Brittany's decisions and started to expand westward to close the northern gap.

Events:

 * Apennine Flu: the Apennine Flu continues ravaging all across Europe. Even though it is quite harmless, the genome began mutating, thus acquiring lethality, but losing infectivity. The plague is still a danger to society and slows down the development of post-war countries and all nations should work together to get rid of the plague.
 * Napoli coup: the pro-Mafia coup failed miserably in Napolitania. The blame that was put on the leadership of the Casa Nostra, arguing that it tried to get a new ally and get rid of the Mediterranean League step by step. On the other, the number of supporters against the Mediterranean League in continental Italy is growing quickly, so there is no valid point to confirm it was backed by the government of Sicily,
 * Rise of radical movements: the post-war era is remarkable for the rise of radical movements such as marxism, statist fundamentalism, totalitarianism, corporatism, and many others. The culture researchers claim the reason for it was the Mushroom War and the semi-statist social-democracy that prevailed all across the World. Thus, the governments and cultures of brand new nations oppose the order that existed in the pre-war World, arguing that it lead to such a catastrophe and cannot be tolerated never again.
 * Global network: the first global network in the post-war World, Internet (International Network), was created in London and spread quickly all across England. The creators claim it will soon become as successful as the original Internet and the information flow will be restored again. Unfortunately, the industrial capabilities are not enough to establish an internet connection with most of the other countries outside the island in the next years.

NPS Turns:

 * England: England offers to conduct the full-scale internet connection in Dutch Rijk in the next 3 years as a step of "North Sea Integration project". In addition, England joins Northern France and begins working on the cure together, and invites other nations to join the cooperation.
 * Sicily: the military of Sicily has expanded quite a lot last months, creating the biggest airforce and navy in continental Europe. In addition, Casa Nostra is ravaging all across the countries of the Mediterranean League, damaging the economy and stability.
 * Mediterranean League: the Mediterranean League invites Istria-Venezia to join the Mediterranean League.
 * Tyrrhenian League: Tyrrhenian League refuses Istria-Venezian offer, claiming "it can join the Mediterranean League instead". In addition, Tyrrhenian League supports Northern France and begins working on the cure together, and invites other nations to join the cooperation.
 * Nicosia League: Nicosia League invites Barbary Coast and Carthage to join the alliance.
 * Illyria: unlike the coup in Napolitania, the coup in the Adriatic League was a great success. The new totalitarian government quickly seized the power vacuum in the nation, declaring "the empire of Illyria". Illyria joined Nicosia League and began implementing the social credit system. In addition, a huge military depot was found within the lands of Illyria, containing a lot of modern tanks and weapons. The government of Illyria declared war on the Sarajevo Republic and claimed "it has no chance", quickly seizing new territories.
 * Zastava Junta: Zastava Junta joined the war on the side of Illyria and began conquering the lands of Sarajevo Republic.
 * Sarajevo Republic: the officials of Sarajevo Republic call for help as they cannot handle such powerful armies on both frontlines.
 * Murcia Inc.: Murcia Inc. refuses Carthage offer as it "does not increase the profit we achieve".
 * Gdynia League: Fortunately, in spite of being huge military and economic centres of the Baltic Sea region, Gdansk, Gdynia, and Sopot were not nuked, but slightly damaged. Gdynia preserved the most and managed to become the new centre of Tricity, thus the whole Baltic region. The officials of Gdynia sent telegrams to the neighbouring cities, declaring the creation of "Gdynia League". Almost all of the recerivers accepted the request. A new powerhouse appeared in the global chess game!
 * Bavaria: the cities of southern Bavaria signed the "Munich Protocol" and joined the Bavarian League, or simply Bavaria. It marks the new beginning for the Austro-Bavarian nation. In addition, the cities of Austria sent telegrams requesting to join the League, so the expansion seems to continue for a long time.
 * Bremen Commune: the revolutionaries of Bremen and nearby cities were inspired by the success of USSR and French Commune. They took over Bremen, Osnabruck, Gottingem, and Celle, declared the creation of Bremen Commune, and joined the Soviet Internationale. It was remembered as the "Bremen revolt", one of the most successful and quickest socialist revolutions in the history,

 * Candidate: Siegmund Kohnstamm
 * Parties in order of popularity: 100%
 * Economy: The Teutonic economy is mostly based on agriculture as well as the processing industry (mechanical items, timber, paper, etc.). Trade is mostly unused due to the lack of surviving nations in the general area, on land and on the seas. Our only neighbors in the Baltic Sea are the Scandinavian communists, and they're, well, communists. They reject the Lord's name so we reject their goods. Commerce does, however sparsely, flow through the Gdynia League. It is not much.

 * Teutonic Luftwaffe: 50 trained pilot-knights, 15 in-training, 25 fighters, and 10 bombers.
 * Diplomacy: There isn't much diplomacy for us to conduct at the moment, given how isolated we are.
 * Actions (Events):
 * Response to the Apennine Flu: After being informed via telegram of the Apennine Flu, we have closed our southern border to survivors and other immigrants. Nobody will be allowed through.
 * Expansion: Our eastward expansion continues as we now surround the entirety of Lake Peipus and Lake Pihkva. This also adds the large pre-war city of Pskov, or as we now call it, Pleskau, into our fold. A victory for the Teutonic peoples, and a stepping stone to the ruins of Saint Petersburg, one of the largest pre-war cities.
 * Campaign Preparation: Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order, Siegmund Kohnstamm, begins preparations for his election campaign. His main competitors seem to be two men named Peter Gruber, the son of a famous merchant, and Magnus Kirsipuu, someone who has made himself famous as our Marschall's second-in-command.

 * Expansion: We continue expanding our territory along the coast of Normandy, hoping to reach the Republic of Northern France ASAP. We also spread our territory south. Sheltering any survivor we can and putting any city or town under our government to rid of peoples' anarchic mindset.
 * A sick president: It appears that the Appenian Flu has been caught by the president of the republic, Elouan Auger. Sick and weak, the president recognizes that he cannot do his duty by himself, therefore he created a spot in the leadership for the country, giving second in power status in the republic. The president had assigned Lucien Roux as the nations first "lieutenant-president".
