Description
A quick world map version of my Four Scimitars map. Quite self-explanatory, I think, if you combine both maps. Still, I'll outline the very basics:

-Derg Ethiopia appears as a rogue, not as pro-Soviet. The regime met continued Soviet support, wich was later cut not out of ideological shift, but sheer neccesity, as supplying it was expensive and not strategically valuable anymore. Now, the regime, more repressive than ever, stands on its own.

-The Arab World, with its muscle-flexing energetic power, moves under an international strategy that combines regional development with divide and conquer. This pushed the global superpowers closer together by need, the true enemy being something else.

-The Soviet Union fell rather behind but didn't fully collapse, going hardliner instead. The opposition to the tripolar world, AKA "The Trifecta", has taken the form of a much more expansive, Third-Worldist anti-Globalism. Still, the Global South and the Soviets form a marriage of convenience.
