The World in 2051
History
2015. Annus Horribilis. Five days after Greece announced its exit from the European Union-an event referred to as Grexit-the Eurozone’s economy collapsed as a run on the banks destroyed the last bit of stability Europe had. Stocks fell. Trillions were lost. In less than a month, unemployment skyrocketed across the continent.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Russia formally invaded Ukraine. Despite condemnation from the UN and the threat of war with the USA, Russia marched on.
With the economic fallout hitting the US, the President was forced to issue a series of executive orders to stabilise the economy. The plan backfired, as groups across the nation accused the government of expanding its power too far, citing the summer as an example of pure government overreach. Rather than save the nation, as the move could have otherwise, it brought about its end. Terrorist attacks in New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C divided the nation further. In September, Russia invaded the Baltics. As the United States planned on retaliating, Russia detonated a nuclear weapon over Washington, D.C. Millions were killed instantly. Millions more died in the next few days. The United States collapsed into anarchy, with local authorities attempting to maintain control. Civil War devastated the former superpower. For two years, the nation teared itself apart in a war for resources.
Russia declared itself the Eurasian Federation shortly thereafter. With China choosing to look inward, using its vast productive powers in attempt to stay out of the global chaos, and Europe facing a similar crisis to America, no one could stand up as Russia gobbled up the former Soviet Union.
In 2017, as darkness continued to engulf the world, a saviour emerged. No one knew where he came from; he had no name, history, or anything. He took command of what remained of the United States’ military and began a reconquest. By 2019, America was unified again. The people, in their gratitude, declared him King. He refused, instead taking the title of Emperor. He was henceforth known as Emperor Napoleon Americae: Napoleon of America. By 2025, the Imperial Republic of America had recovered from the events ten years prior, as Europe continued to suffer. By 2030, Maxio had fallen to Napoleon. By 2035, Central America fell. War waged with Canada from 2032 to 2041, resulting it the unification of North America. Invasions into South America resulted in a closely allied Imperial puppet.
Inspired by the actions of Napoleon, an Hungarian nationalist, Viktor Bako, overthrew the Hungarian government and named himself Vezeto: Leader. He deeply resented the Russian domination of Eastern Europe, and with support from Napoleon, slowly took Transylvania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. What resulted was a war with the Eurasian Federation. The Russian led Federation expected an easy victory, but were caught off guard by the Hungarian fierceness and its American weaponry. In 2045, the two sides called an Armistice, brokered by Napoleon. Technically a draw, the Hungarians saw it as a great victory, and spread its influence into Poland, Romania, and the Balkans
Western Europe had now recovered. The United Republics of Europe was founded in 2042 as a counterbalance to Hungary and the EF. Comprised of the Nordic States, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Iberia, it opposes the existential threats of Hungary, the EF, and the Imperial Republic.
In contrast, the United Kingdom, which miraculously weathered the storm and led now by King William V sought an alliance with the new American state, locking the two in an alliance.
Japan, too, fearing the power of China, sought an alliance with the American superpower. The Japanese sought its own Empire, and the Americans were happy to oblige as the Korean Peninsula fell to the combined armies of Japan and America. In return, much of the Pacific, except New Zealand and Australia, are virtual puppets to America.
In 2050, the Emperor, whose health was never good, died. Instead of leaving the throne to his 19 year old son Achilles, as many thought he would as Achilles was his father’s equal, the Emperor gave the throne to his 15 year old son Alexandre. The announcement shocked the world. The boy would be assisted in rule by his Council of Ministers, lead by his mother, Catherine, and Richard Drake the current Grand Vizier. Now, a year later, eyes are still on the young Emperor.
