Shattered (Map Game)



Welcome to Shattered, the sequel to Fractured. Don't be implausible, don't be stupid, and try not to screw yourself over. Inter-Game Lore | Map | Nations | Organisations

Backstory
The world has come far. With the end of the Syrian Civil War and the end of Israeli hostilities, a peace fell over the Levant unlike anything seen in the past 150 years. The pacification of North Korea came at great cost, but great reward, with the re-education of North Koreans being carried out generously by many charities and countries. The gradual democratization of nations started by Saudi Arabia ended absolutism, dictatorship, and autocracy in many nations.

However, the problems never end. Hostilities between Ukraine and Russia continue to escalate, with many estimating a war in the next five years. The broken flood barriers in Bangladesh have led to over 1 million homeless Bangladeshi migrants flooding into neighbouring countries, with even more stuck in Bangladesh itself, while the government is on the verge of bankruptcy. The political crisis in Ecuador is devolving into a diplomatic one, with Peru and Paraguay threatening intervention. Iran's turmoil spiralled out of control after the Shekak massacre, with riots breaking out across the country. Now, insurgents have taken advantage and various groups are fighting against the government across Iran, with many fearing that extremist sections of the opposition may take control of Iran's nuclear arsenal.

Greece is verging on economic collapse, and with an expansionist Turkey to its east and a protective Russia fighting to keep it alive, the threat of a Russo-Turkish War continues to rise. Russia and Serbia have also allegedly started to fund Sprskan militants in Bosnia in order to destabilize the Bosnian government and distract NATO. However, this funding was not directed specifically, and so a large portion of this has landed in the lands of the Islamic State of Bosnia, a militant terrorist organisation set on creating a Sharia state in the Balkans. Most recently, a bombing in the capitol left 17 ministers injured.

Everyone seeks peace for the world, but glory for their nation. Which nation will you lead gloriously though this shattered world?

Goals
Choose a goal that adheres to your nation's best interests. For example, Venezuela won't give a shit about the Bangladeshi Migrant Crisis. A nation can only choose one or two goals to reach at any time.

2032
''' In a formal press statement from Lviv, Ukrainian premier Stepan Taranenko addresses the current situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border as well as the "illegal" Donetsk People's Republic. Military prescense on aforementioned borders shall remain as such unless there is a change in the "invasive policies by Russia and the flawed logic of the puppets in Donetsk." This comes after a 2 hour long standoff between Russian and Ukrainian border patrol due to overreaction. '''

''' The Turkish government has denied any claims that they are encouraging Turkish companies to withdraw from Greece, worsening their economic situation. However, there is substantial evidence supporting this, including pictures and audio clips of government officials dealing with known Turkish businessmen who conduct business in Greece and as well as suspicious-looking packets of money. '''

''' The Arabian Union has pushed for international intervention into Iran to prevent the situation from escalating into a civil war that could destabilise the Middle Eastern region. '''

''' After narrowly surviving an assassination attempt, Chinese President-For-Life Xi Jinping has declared martial law. '''

''' The "Islamic State of Bosnia" launches another attack in Mostar, driving an oil truck into a crowd of people at 8:00pm. The resulting explosion killed 56 and injured over 200. The Bosnian government has declared martial law. '''

''' Reports of violence increase across India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Bangladesh has fallen into anarchy, with the government holding on in remote bunkers controlling regions using their small military. Myanmar has also declared martial law, using the crisis as an excuse to start a genocide against Muslims in the nation. '''

''' India has moved much of their army to the Bangladeshi border, refusing to let any in, which has caused debates and protests all over India. Some believe they should be let in, while others believe that India should militarily occupy Bangladesh until further notice. The genocide in Myanmar has caused even more uproar, as the Indian government elects to do nothing despite their hard stance against Myanmar over a decade ago. '''

''' Protests against the government in Ecuador continue as Abdalá Bucaram, President of Ecuador, continues to solidify his reign and limit democracy in the nation. '''

''' Sudan requests membership in the Middle Eastern Military Organisation, as ARMA continues to grow powerful in Cairo. '''

United States of America

 * Backstory: This shows the whole backstory of the US essentially. However the year 2032 backstory is not canon since it started right off in 2032 rather than 2033 but I'll include all of 2032 events.
 * Government
 * 2032 Presidential Election (November 2032): See the backstory for the rest of the election, I'm not making a full paragraph here. Paul Ryan is elected President as a Republican candidate.
 * Elizabeth Warren's Legacy: Her legacy is not as what she promised for two terms consecutively. Her promise to the universal basic income system, failed. She had withdrawn a lot of relationships especially with tensions that have escalated in the Middle East when MEMO began to emerge as a proper alliance led by Egypt and made the United States more isolated than ever as a result. So she might be forgotten, unlike Trump who has escalated things a little bit in the late 2010s though.
 * Military
 * Military Budget Promise: President-elect Ryan promises to raise the budget again after Warren cuts down the military budget spending by 40% by the end of her presidency. He believed that in order to secure America's place in the international community, he would want to raise the budget once again, mainly dedicated to research of certain technologies such as handheld railguns. However robot law enforcement has started to come into reality in some way, slowly creeping into most trials and tests recently, Paul Ryan began considering whether military robots should be heavily regulated, so that only automated unmanned aerial vehicles and self-driving vehicles could be allowed but not robots in fear of raising unemployment once again by demilitarising human numbers once his first term starts.
 * Economy
 * Recovering, but don't get your hopes up. The United States is always in trouble in unemployment recently and while the stock market is growing, the inevitable will happen very soon.
 * Research and Technology
 * Lunar Colony Plan: There are unannounced plans to establish a base on the Moon. The reason why it was fully delayed because they have not a lot of funding in place under Warren's administration despite a successful touchdown on the Moon years ago. Private space industry was also expanding which was one of the reasons why government-sponsored agencies weren't able to churn out something similar to establishing a long-term base on the Moon.
 * Quantum Computer Technology: Quantum computers are becoming more of a normal thing in government and scientific research. Qunatum computers are proven to be much more faster than conventional computers in the early 2020s and powerful as well, where they could process millions of tasks every second. However making commercial progress was a far-fetched thing in the last decade. Recently the government had made emphasis to make this open to the public but many estimate that quantum computers for the public might not happen until the late 2030s at earliest or the 2050s in a worst case.
 * Automation of Workplace: In the 2020s, many jobs were being lost to robots that were more efficient than their human counterparts and with the stock crash in the early 2020s, the US had a dangerous unemployment rate of 20% to 25% at the mid-2020s. That improved production efficiency but led to many people turning to parties, notably the Republicans by the post-2024 elections who promise to slow down automation of industry and prevent industrial chaos. The bill for a universal basic income system in place failed to pass under Elizabeth Warren's first term and so she was forced to negotiate with right-leaning politicians to expand all industries domestically that allows the human workforce to work. However analysts and futurists predict that a second explosion of automation will take place in the mid-2030s which would boost the unemployment rate back up to 30% in time even if the 10% unemployment treshold pledged by President-elect Ryan succeeded and that the theoretical Great Recession might also boost unemployment rate as another factor.
 * Diplomacy
 * Philippines: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Denmark: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Switzerland: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Japan: We would like to improve our own relations, for very obvious reasons. If you don't accept then it's fine by your choice. (Because Starring is that guy who would negotiate alliances with me, the guy who played as North American Union and other guys probably in the past, probably not who knows?)
 * Greece: Under the Warren administration, financial support is heavy given to Greece since Elizabeth Warren was President of the United States and that Turkish tensions have risen back at that time. But now it seems that the US are not holding much more support recently due to their shaky economic position especially with China, with the federal government trying to give a bare minimum to the state itself.
 * Canada: Canada Goose is owned by RODEBLUR.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

 *  Government 
 *  The Democratic Kingdom II:  After Khalid Al-Saud's extremely successful 6 year term, he has agreed to step down and let another become Prime Minister. His time in the office was very successful, as he and his brother, King Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud, established lasting democracy in Saudi Arabia, averting the economic crisis to come around oil. The King chose:
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: Liberalist - polled at 36%
 * Dhaakir el-Haq: Islamic Fundementalist - polled at 16%
 * Raaji al-Suleiman: Integralist - polled at 3%
 * Haneef al-Farid: Panislamist - polled at 11%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: Islamic Democrat - polled at 34%
 * This election, the second in Saudi history, is significantly different to the last election. For one, there is no Saudi relative, contrary to what many assumed about the King and his allegiances. Secondly, there are more Islamic-based candidiates than the previous election. The two most popular candidiates are Ismaeel al-Qazi, co-founder of the Liberal Party (with Khalid al-Saud, former Prime Minister); and Naasiruddeen el-Riaz, opposition leader and founder of the Islamic Democratic Party. It is widely believed that these two candidates will advance, as they also have the most seats in the Saudi Parliament.
 *  Saudi General Election: First Round 
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: 33%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: 27%
 * Haneef al-Farid: 16%
 * Dhaakir el-Haq: 13%
 * Raaji al-Suleiman: 1%
 * Qazi and Riaz advance to the second round. This was very predictable. However, this was troubling for the Liberal Party, as more people voted for Farid and Haq than previously assumed, and those votes were likely to go to Riaz. This is a tense election, and any outcome will be devastating for the other party.
 *  Saudi General Election: Second Round 
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: 56%
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: 44%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz became the 2nd Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. Following his defeat in the first election, Riaz was incredibly happy. The Islamic Democratic Party was still a minority party in Parliament, however, and so the next 3 years would be focused on getting enough seats to become the majority party in Parliament. Currently, they are stuck in a coalition with a number of smaller parties, but Riaz seeks to get rid of these smaller parties and absorb them into his own.
 *  Persian Incursion:  Saudi Arabia is considering intervening. This could be the perfect opportunity to free Iran from its theocratic dictatorship, and place it on the same path that has led Saudi Arabia for the past 7 years. However, problems will arise with Turkey if they decide to save the Iranian dictator.
 *  Royal Saudi Arabian Armed Forces:  The Royal Saudi Arabian Armed Forces consists of the Royal Saudi Land Forces, the Royal Saudi Air Force, the Royal Saudi Navy, the Royal Saudi Air Defense, and the Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force.
 *  Personnel:  As the population increases so does the number of those fit for service. There are now 17.8 million Saudi Arabians fit for service. King Mohammed's conscription plan is complete, with many more volunteers coming into the military to become fitter and healthier to improve their chances in the job market. The number of reserves increased to 1,535,000 due to this. There are also 473,000 active personnel.
 *  Gulf Operations:  Gulf Operations are as strong as ever, as co-operation with the Omani Fleet gives the Saudi Fleet great power. With the third Aircraft Carrier under construction, as well as a new Helicopter Carrier and a Destroyer, the Saudi Fleet continues to grow exponentially.
 *  Royal Saudi Land Forces:  The RSLF is the largest branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 162,000 personnel, 1,962 Combat Tanks, 7,925 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 913 Self-Propelled Artillery, 816 Towed Artillery, and 694 Rocket Projectors.
 *  Royal Saudi Air Force:  The RSAF is the aviation branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 122,000 personnel, 431 Fighter Aircraft, 471 Attack Aircraft, 356 Transport Aircraft, 367 Trainer Aircraft, and 73 Attack Helicopters.
 *  Royal Saudi Navy:  The RSN is the naval branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 129,000 personnel, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 1 Helicopter Carrier, 9 Frigates, 3 Destroyers, 9 Corvettes, 61 Patrol Craft, and 7 Mine Warfare Vessels.
 *  Diplomacy 
 * United States of America: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia invites President Paul Ryan to Riyadh to discuss an energy partnership and co-operation in possible future operations.
 * Kurdistan: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia invites Kurdish leaders to Al-Loloah Al-Sahrah to discuss the Iranian Civil War. Particularly an intervention on the side of the republicans, in order to foster the growth of democracy in the Middle East. With a large power such as Iran on our side, our ideology will grow, especially against foreign powers such as Turkey who seek to disrupt this. Give me your answer and we will discuss contingencies.
 * Turkey: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia officially warns Turkey to stay away from the Iranian Civil War.
 * China: We would like to expand our bases in your territory, in order to further our co-operation. The Arabian Union is grateful for all that has been done.
 * Egypt: You can pretend to be innocent, planning nothing, but I know you are planning an invasion against me. I will be very surprised if you manage to convince the Turks to join your side, especially after your short-term rivalry. That is, before I disbanded your entire alliance. Don't threaten us further, or you will see who is the dominant Middle Eastern power here.
 * East African Community: East Africa, the Arabian Union would like to further relations with you and to help you achieve your long term goal of unification. You estimate that it will take 5 to 10 years, but with Arabian co-operation, this will only take 1 or 2. We will help you establish yourselves as an emerging power on the world stage. Consider our proposal.
 * Israel: I know our relations have been incredibly bad, but Saudi Arabia now has nothing against your people or your government. We would like to start anew, and create new friendships. It is your choice whether you want to be on the right side of history.
 * Federal Government of Somalia: After the collapse of the African Union, you only have the East African Community to help you. The Arabian Union proposes a partnership: The Arabian Union will intervene militarily to defeat the Islamic insurgents, if your government agrees to be temporarily controlled by the Arabian Union in order to create a federation of Somalian states which will bring stability to the region. It is your choice.
 * Republican Coalition of Iran: We will help you, but only on two conditions: you allow us to help you create an Iranian Federation that will bring peace and democracy to your nation; and you join the Arabian Union after the end of the civil war. Every Arabian Union member is equal, and therefore you will get as much representation as anyone else. If you wish to win this war, it would be wise to accept my proposal. If you agree, come to Al-Loloah Al-Sahrah to meet with Arabian Union and Kurdish leaders.

Federative Republic of Brazil

 * Backstory/Government (It's basically the same thing here): Aécio Neves, who has been president of Brazil since his election in 2030, has been maintaining a campaign of lifting people out of poverty and decreasing corruption ever since his inauguration. So far, his efforts are underachieved, but are much better than the corruption and poverty of Brazil in years' past.
 * Allegations: A few members of the opposition have accused Neves of embezzling funds from the national budget, however Neves has denied these accusations.
 * Reforestation and Tree Hybrids: Reforestation efforts are finally increasing the amount of forest in Brazil after a long period of consistent yet slowing deforestation. Yet a controversial plan has been proposed by Neves' Research Minister to create a tree hybrid that grows faster, produces more wood, and has higher quality. The controversy surrounding this proposal is that technological process are planned to be used for this tree hybrid.
 * Military: Aécio Neves intends to keep the military budget as is, but he does intend to direct funds towards more military vehicles and robots. Robots have now become an integral part of the army, as part of the Robotic Armed Machinery Forces (RAMF).
 * Research and Development: Several government-subsidized laboratories and research facilities have begun research for Brazil's future projects. Also, the tech industry of Campinas has blown the city's population up, adding 2.3 million into the city, along with 1 million thanks to municipal annexations.
 * Project Alegre: Project Alegre is a robotic project being developed in Porte Alegre. Their mission is to develop a powerful robot structure with a powerful steel alloy that is secret from the outside world. Development has just begun with the researchers on the drawing board.
 * Operation Alberto: Operation Alberto is another robotic project, this time being developed in Salvador. Their mission is to develop a powerful AI that is susceptible from conversion by foreign powers and cannot attain a consciousness. Similar to Project Alegre, this Operation is only on the drawing board.
 * Automation of Jobs: The quickly-increasing amount of automation of jobs in the country, several have gone out to protest in Brazil's largest cities, with the most prominent one in Campinas. President Neves stated in his election campaign that he would try to increase jobs as much as he could, to slow the rate at which automation is growing, but none of that has occurred since. Jobs that require heavy human interaction such as the job of nursing and teaching have remained mostly intact, but jobs like truck driving and widespread importation of server bots have wiped out entire industries to make way for bots.
 * Consciousness Drive: A big woe of most citizens and researchers is the increasing smartness of bots and the possibility of a robot attaining consciousness, which could ignite a war against humans and robots. For that, Operation Alberto was initiated to try and curb the effects, but woe still is in the public.
 * Economy: The economy is steadily growing, but slowing of the growth is expected in years to come. Unemployment is at an all-time high, at 25%!
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ecuador: Aid is being sent towards the injured protesters. We hope that the government understands that their shutdown is failing and that it is affecting everyone. We do not intend to directly intervene, but if we must, we must. We do not want the government shunning and clamping down on the protesters, who have unanimous rights for protesting their government. This is a free world, and the fact that the government is not bothering to come back from their cowering only shows how weak they are as a government.
 * Turkey: We request you to not pull Turkish business men from Greece. If you do, the whole crisis will most likely spill over, and you will feel their economic pain as a result.
 * Greece: Aid is being sent towards Greece, however it is slowly diminishing thanks to the economic slowing. We hope Greece can pull itself out of the hole it's in.
 * Russia: Your treatment of Ukraine's sovereignty is so low and dehumanizing that we wish to withdraw from BRICS and any other relations we've had. Goodbye Russia. We do not wish you well.
 * NATO: Brazil submits an application into NATO (essentially towards the U.S). Brazil has willingly withdrawn from BRICS as well, not seeing it as a plausible economic alliance. We hope that the entrance into NATO will be an excuse for its neighbors to back off and bow to Brazil will help decrease world instability and stop Russia's disheartening acts.

State of Israel
* Backstory: After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's impeachment, the Solomon Temple Party (STP) started gaining support in Israel. The STP stood for a 'Third Kingdom of Israel', which should rise from the 'ashes of diaspora'. In 2024, the STP won the general elections by landslide.

 * Palestine : We support the three-state solution, thus we want to improve relations between our nations.

French Republic

 * Backstory: After Marine le Pen got elected, France got nationalized and thought independent by will is a greater option than being led by other superior nations. That tradition has been going on through the newly elected Parti Radical.
 * Summary: Maintaining neutrality, preparing for war, technological advances and so on,
 * Military:
 * Technology: Project de Bonaparte is responsible for renovated Infantry equipment, vastly renovating the main Infantry and making it look more modern to this time period, and would be a time for new tactics to appear.

 * Moon:
 * de Gaulle Campagne: The de Gaulle campaign is responsible for the landing on the Moon, which also will not happen any time soon without proper funding as this is low priority.
 * The LASER Research: This is exclusive to only France, and we are trying to research the new FRCdB-32 (Français Char de Bataille)
 * Infrastructure:
 * Cities: We are renovating the city of Paris, Marseille, Lyons, Bordeaux, Brest and Strasbourg to make them feel more modern in style and look more Gothic at the same time, which would make our nation feel traditional and encourage some tourism at the same time.

 * Diplomacy: As a current member of the European Union, we would support anyone in the Union and expand our influence throught the world, and conduct good diplomatic relations with at least every nation in the world, except a few exceptions.
 * Greece: The Miquelon Agreement; we will send you generous economic support and in return you shall give us military access to your nation.
 * NATO: We are going to be staunchly neutral unless upmost neccessary.
 * Brazil: Good thinking, a way out of trouble indeed. We would like you to propose a trading company of our own, by the name of Juste de L'Atlantique
 * Turkey: For the actions you have done in Greece for many years now will not be tolerated once more. It is advised to not recall any businessmen as they will go into crisis much quicker.
 * Ukraine: Do not expect help from the French people unless we are forced to support you through shitty circumstancs. We will not support Russia either.
 * Education: Education is still top-notch and in mainland Rumas, at least all of the people are able to read and write by hand. Overall literacy is around 100%, and is it expected that all children at the age of 3 would start going into education.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: The French population has risen throughout the years, with 68,2 million Frenchmen living in France.
 * Religion: The current demographics are 90% Roman Catholic (mostly in mainland), 2% Jewish, 3.6% Sunni and 4.4% unaffiliated.
 * The Catholic Church Communion of France: The Church denounces Islam and condemns people who use it as their religion.
 * Economy: GDP grew from 4.565 trillion to 4.745 trillion.

Republic of Indonesia

 * Diplomacy:
 * ASEAN: Indonesia is working for further integration and increased cooperation within ASEAN while building it's influence within the alliance as it has been for the last decades
 * China: Anti-Government rebels are funded there

State of Japan

 * Backstory: Backstory made by me regarding internal affairs of Japan since there is almost no information about it the previous game
 * Government
 * 2032-33 elections: The Japanese elections are coming once again, with 6 parties taking part in it on the national level
 * Kanbayashi Sayuri, the leader of the Japanese Technocratic Party, the Japanese Prime Minister between 2025 and 2029
 * Kawaguchi Eijiro, the leader of the New Technocratic Party of Japan, originally the successor of Kanbayashi Sayuri, but later split off from the JTP to form his own party
 * Ichihara Nobuo, the leader of the Japanese New Hope party, the current Prime Minister of Japan
 * Kirishima Utako, the leader of the Party for Japanese Revival, a more military-centered technocratic party, but more for self-defense
 * Hashimoto Hidetora, the leader of the Party for Japanese Restoration, another military-centered technocratic party, but he also believes Japan needs to expand its global reach
 * Technocratic Party of Sapporo, a smaller technocratic party representing the interest of Hokkaido and entrepreneurs of the Sapporo Startup City
 * Military: Before Ichihara Nobuo's first term ends, and possibly continues, another expansion plan is drafted for the Japanese military, mainly for exploring new technologies and a slightly larger exoskeleton unit.
 * Economy: While the growth is relatively slow, Japan's economic downturn and unemployment is not that bad compared to others, as apart from domestic areas, Japan also has a growing interest in other parts of Asia (especially Southeast Asia, South Asia) and Africa, which is a new growth point for the economy.
 * Research and Technology:
 * Lunar colony by JAXA: Japan's lunar colony is planned to be built by 2034, with a smaller size compared to the American plans (( no, i don't know how big is America's will be I just had to put a comparison point )), with the Japanese private space industry as the large contractors for this plan. If successful, there are plans to expand its size in the next 10 years.
 * Cleanup of waste in Nagoya: While the nuke's power has disappated over the years, research for quicker cleanup is still going on. Not much success is predicted for some time until breakthrough in nuclear technology.
 * Japanese military equipment upgrade: While having success with upgrading our cutting-edge airplanes and tanks, much of our weapons are still outdated, with some research success predicted to be in the next 3 years, larger ones in 8 years.
 * Diplomacy:
 * United States of America: We also wish to improve our relations, but for our interest, we wish for more self-sufficency. However, as the New Japan needs a partner to continue its growth, we should try to be closer once again, especially in issues regarding China.
 * East African Community: Japan plans to increase investment in the area, and we will try to help integration both internally and globally.
 * South African Community: Our technology industry needs the resources produced by the South African Community, so we will further enter the markets of the South African Community.
 * Federal Somalia: In order to end the problems plaguing Japanese ships in the area, we wish to help you end the insurgency through our base in Djibouti.
 * Israel: We believe while Israel is not an island country, our situation is similiar in many areas, so we wish to establish greater economic cooperation.
 * Arabian Union: As a growing power in your region, Japan believes we should further cooperate with each other, as there are greater benefits for both of us because of it in the future.

2033
''' Stepan Taraneko speaks out against the stance taken by France, in which he states "Does France support the erosion of stability in Europe by the Russians? Does France even regard the situation in the East as important?"
