Earth 2100. After several large scale disasters and conflicts, new states formed with old states and a strange new power dynamic was formed between the five great powers.

The Pirates' Tribal Thalassocracy is a pariah state, funded and maintained mainly through piracy, mercernary work, extortion and occasionally deliveries. Divided into four territories, they descend from same of the former Great Powers, now having adapted to a more tribal and primal style of living. Sailing and piracy is considered the lifeblood of states and most of people's trades affect the industry either directly (timber, blacksmithing, mining) to more indirect means (writing to provide comfort on long voyages or propaganda), pirates are the decadant royals of this Great Game, either on captured ships or their own built. Indigenous peoples are the most successful in this form of living, with the Long House State being the most powerful. While they tend to compete and backstab each other at a regular basis, they will unite against other powers. Consisting of a warped fusion of libretarianism and tribal chiefdoms, freedom is valued above all else with loyalty to the crew and the code being close seconds. You are free to do what you want, but what goes around comes around. Saavy?

United World Industries is a technological marvel straight out of cyberpunk, having been formed by the world's richest and most influential individuals around the time of the collaspe, they fled to Europe, specifically what was once Germany. Through the use of remaining connection and the promise of security and supplies to a chaos-ravaged world, they quickly grew to become arguably the most influential power in the world. The company logo is proudly presented in many of the products that the people live in. Best described as a collection of corporate republics merging to become a superpower, they bring to mind the main infamous companies of past times. Here, neoliberalism and consumerism rule in this strange form of the spectacle and capitalism. People are pressured to exploit themselves and the struggle to find meaning is neverending, filled with new products. However, the UWI likes to back up the little guys in order to help keep up morale while also exploiting their own creativity. They are in for the long-term profit and are smarter (and even a bit kinder) than the robber baron of yesteryear. The UWI is divided into the global headquarters, client states and lastly dependent states. Raw materials or products or even services are sold all over and in one way or another, you work for them. Do what you can and you get your cookie at the end of the day.

The Oceanic Technocratic Federation is the closest to how life was before the collaspe. Rather than focus on capital, they focus on advancement. To them, the greatest contributions are through the mind. The only power meeting if not possibly exceeding the UWI, technical experts are considered the final word here. Scientists, engineers and technologists are the key respected figures and everyone strives to be a renaissance person. While they maintain aspects like an economy and a culture, everything is driven for the sake of science and progress. The arts are not ignored though, but it can be difficult being an artist sometimes though the Federation does maintain welfare. The culture is a strange amaglation and the language was reconstructed from the various core states, assosiate states and obersrving territories in regards to an alphabet. For the most part, they are interested in rebuilding from the past while taming the wildlands into places habitable for human usage. While spirituality is not frowned upon, the technocracy places value on being the best on your merit. It's an ambitious life where you can bring out your talents in a post cyberpunk home.

The Coalition of Transhuman Territories is strange. While a hodgepodge of tribal confederacies, kingdoms, domains, republics and whatnot, what they have in common is that they are the result of science going beyond and the Singularity having happened. People have upgraded themselves and experimented on themselves in various ways. Proudly showing off their tribal mark of a Double-Helix, these people are still somewhat human, but some don't look like it. From bionic limbs to infusing themselves with animal or plant cells, it is the realm of the strange and wonderful here. While there are tribal disputes alongside with the struggle against the harsh environments, it is still a varied life. If you are willing to go beyond what you are, lose yourself on the way here. People here tend to work all over the spectrum though the places are becoming stranger, especially through the fusions of nanotechnology, plants and human biology. Tolerance and a love for the strange is needed here.

The Global Social Democracies of New Eden is a green haven of acceptance and spirituality. If the OTF is post cyberpunk, then New Eden would be solar punk. Focused on craftmanship, community and sustainable technology, New Eden took the longest to develop, but when they formed, it was a sight to behold. An egalitarian environment, the social democracies were made in mind for the hope of a better future and progressivism. The New Eden social democracies tend to be organized by the quantity of technology and when they joined in, but the standard of living in all of them is quite high. Their symbol was one drawn from the inspiration of the arts and rperesents them as a whole. Regardless, they still work actively in maintaining th environment and moving forward while also maintaining the responsabilities they have as a large power. Dedication to peace and prosperity, the hope of the future remains alive and well with New Eden.
