Description Continuation of the "Dark Age of the 21st Century"

2080 is a period of growing tension, the start of the Middle Eastern Conflict and Russian and Chinese Military buildup, Aztlan Invasion, and finally the Japanese reemergence into the world stage as a political and military power. Advancements in Space has significantly increased during the Post-Calamity times, as attempts to colonize Mars were going successful, and the deployment  of various weaponized satellites and the utilization of floating armadas thanks to the discovery of Yakkandium.

In 2074, when Yakutia collapsed from the Russian Hegemony, Japanese and Russian Forces freely took lands over the Far North, with the Japanese annexing Kamchatka and the establishment of Japanese Ships and Artificial Military Installations into the sea, while the Russians purged whats left of the Yakutian Forces, ending fighting at 2075. Yakkandium is now an commodity utilized for advanced technological equipment, with the Russians and Japanese successfully gaining their own fair share of reserves in the Far North, both gaining an head in robotic and technological development. However Japan continously impose their policies of total Nipponization of Kamchatka and Sakhalin, aggressive policies of their deployment of their own weaponized satellites to ensure their sovereignty and their position over world politics. America wasn't taking Japanese policies quite well, ever since the discovery of Yakkandium in the Far North, they commenced programs on their own to find their own reserves of Yakkandium in Alaska and Wyoming. However, the Aztlan Conflict emerged, with Aztlan forces breaching through the borders of Mexico itself and were quickly overrun without any proper reorganization given, America has intervened over their support of "peace" in the region, launching an counter-offensive that would test their new doctrines, as the deployment of Odyssey and Achillies Robotic Divisions to combat militias with great efficiency, while American Armadas and Mechanized Infantry were decimating the Aztlans in any direct conflict which forced them into an retreat, as landings in the Yucatan Peninsula and the revitalized spearhead towards Mexico City were met in full speed. With the Aztlans on the run, America finally found it's own reserve of Yakkandium in Wyoming, Alaska, Nevada, Washington, and more to stimulate their industries even further, as to go far with the synthesizing of Yakkandium elements to ensure self-efficiency during long term conflicts. Although America is the world's leading export of robotic equipment and automonous android personel, rejuvenating reconstruction efforts in Western Africa, and enforcing Border and Maritime control over it's territorires. 

In 2077, the Middle East Conflict finally emerged, as Saudi and Iranian Forces finally clashed in the Persian Sea, inefficiencies and the growing royal crisis of the Saudi Family ever since the disappearance of Alwashid Alafayaad which gave the opportunity for Iranian forces to blitz through their frontlines along with their Mesopotamian Allies, armed and supported by Russian and Chinese Forces in an attempt to gain extensive influence within the Middle East. Kurdistan would join the war under the Saudi's side, coordinating large scale rebellions within Kurdish regions in Iran, dealing an great deal of their strategic positions along the border, paving way for thousands of well trained militia to deter and harass incoming Iranian forces with covert American and Turkish aid, soon after the Mesopotamians would retaliate, striking deep beyond their borders before being pushed  back into an stalemate, until the intervention of Israel over concerns of the Iranians quickly  overruning Saudi Army Groups in the region. Launching an Shock Offensive on all fronts with their Merkavian Robotic Infantry into Mesopotamia and Egypt as another take of their successful Aerial Offensive done during the Six-Day War long time ago which proved again effective, but Egyptian Aerial and Drone Fleets would quickly recover from the attack, but bogged down by Israeli Drone Swarms and Cybernetic attacks to delay their Drones to take off. However the Israeli Forces would stop at the Sinai, having to deal with the impending threat of concentrated buildup of troops with visibly Russian and Chinese forces intervening into the battle in favour of it's allies. Turkey was really skeptical of supporting the Kurds, in which had tons of them in their Eastern Regions heavily populated by the Kurds and can imminently rise up at any time, but after some assurance between the 3 Powers, formally organizing in agreement to provide economic and military support to counter Russian Military Aggression.
Battlefields in the Middle East are dominated with the combined efforts of Robotic and Human Firepower, which hundreds of drones, Armored Mechs, Supersonic and Hypersonic Missiles which can be equipped by Drones and utilized for handheld use. Ever since the Smithsonian Boom revolutionized the development of artificial alloys streamlined large scale and specialized armor for individual countries, as production even came insanely cheaper with breakthroughs made into changing the atomic structure of an certain material by advanced and sci-fi means. From Weapons and Body Armour to the simplest of ammunition can be transformed into harder and penetrable bullets that can go through cars with nano installment of handheld electromagnetic barrels into assault rifles.

With Conflicts rapidly emerging all throughout the world, another would appear in South Asia, relighting tensions between Pakistan and India once again. First started over the annexation of Nepal and Bhutan by unknown means, while Pakistan was alarmingly aware of India's growing military capabilities to even combat China all by their own. In March 2079, an border incident between Pakistani and Indian Forces immediately bushfired into an all out war, the Pakistani's struck first confidentially with their newly gained weapons from Russia and China, however it quickly backfired with Indian Forces quickly counterattacking on the next month, striking deep into their territories whilist Kashmir declares its independence. Kashmir doesnt even have an original standing army during the start of the war, afraid to once again caught  in the crosshairs of Indian and Pakistani Forces relied on the hiring of PMC's to fill their problems, so well trained in fact the Indian Government halted their operations towards Kashmir, not seeking an war of attrition in an difficult manner.

Papua New Guinea was skeptical of Indonesian Nationalists wanting to take over all of Nusantra even the entirety  of the Island under ASEAN control, as the deployment of Indonesian and PMC Fleets would dangerously go near into their territorial waters, as diplomatic talks to give back the land they once owned failed, as relations between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea would quickly die down. Australia offered Papua New Guinea with military and diplomatic assistance, while deploying their forces and naval fleets into the sea to deter radical aggression done by the Indonesian Navy, which is eager to try  out their  new  weaponry exported from Japan.

The Growing "Arctic" Tensions continue to flare over the remaining territories within the Arctic, as American and Russian Military personnel were deployed within their respective territories, but active military and drone survailence over the region continues to grow with rumors of an Russian Submarines reportedly trespassing American and Canadian Territorial territories as WWIII may come even soon.

South America, ever since the election of Brazil's new right wing leader, Januel Bolislarnio declared that the entire Amazonian Basin is strictly Brazilian Territory, which sends its naval forces to  secure regions of their national interests and warding of any foriegn vessels without any identification. As Peruvian, Columbian, and Venezuelan Governments had protested against this move, mirroring the disputes in the Spratly Islands in Asia.

The Collapse of the EU was no shocking event, ever since the inefficiencies and incompetency of the European Council to effectively deal with large scale migrations during the Calamity, however it is replaced by the European Association an Military and Economic Alliance also served to replace NATO itself as it actively aligned themselves to the Americans. 

At the start of 2080, an new cold war began, continued development and  buildup of both Space and Military efforts jumpstarted as an result between the world's growing. Meanwhile the Pacific Coalition developed by Japan and Korea actively built their own presence in Asia, with ASEAN and the rest of the remaining nations in the Far East actively joining the pact for Economic and Military Cooperation. As Japan leads the world in advanced electronics and cyberkinetic equipment, outmatching the Chinese and Americans twicefold. America continued to pursue their dominance in Space and the development of superior military equipment and aeronautic technology, with the deployment of conventional Drone Carriers in the Air (take Ace Combat as  reference.) along with advanced weaponized drones. The 2nd  Cold War would favour the Americans in terms of Military Development, as the Pentagon reported an UFO crashlanding in Wyoming, as the National Guard quickly covered the situation much more quickly, reverse engineering and studying about their technologies. However unbeknownst to the Americans, the Russians also  encountered an similar situation with an UFO crash landing into the Tunguska Sea, as Russian Forces quickly rushed in to retrieve the ship. 

Ever since the emergence of the 2nd Cold War, 3 International Alliances were formed. Namely the Washington Accord, Visegrad Pact, and the Pacific Coalition which plays an major role through the current geopolitical situation.

In Space, an new form of warfare was taking place ever since the large scale technological advancements brought by the 2nd Renaissance during the Post-Calamity Era, as Space Exploration would go as far into exploring the entirety of the Solar System. Meanwhile colonies are being established into Mars and other moons of Jupiter and etc, harvesting their raw materials and also settled for economic and military means which were brought back and refined into stations orbiting Earth.
