Le Meilleur des Mondes (Map Game)

I, vladnyk, welcome you to  Le Meilleur des Mondes ! I just hope you will like the map game, its backstory, tone, and mood of the world I created. Let's make metamodernity together! If you feel lost in the page, the content section just below and CTRL+ F can help you navigate it!

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 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.

* PEE - post-end era

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.

 * Dynasty: Alauite

 * 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.
 * Economy: Poor. The country is in shambles and the population is on the brink of starvation. However, national policies may be able to ease suffering for ethnic Hungarians.

 * Demographics:
 * Population: 28,455
 * Szolnok: 10,275

 * 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.

 * Stranka Istina i Disciplina  | Fascism: Candidate: Saša Palić (SID)

 * N/A
 * Actions (Events):
 * The Beginning of Istria-Venezia: Two shelters were opened up in Pula, Croatia and Venice, Italy for the End. 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 and 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.
