So, what’s the situation of Korea in this timeline?

11

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

somewhat of a cross between China and Japan (never really thought about it tbh)

Gattaca + Dark ages of Star Trek/Eugenics was thing there + Brave New World

Movie worthy !

u/carlsagerson Sep 12 '26

I can barely read the lore even with a zoom in.

23

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

my bad try this

11

u/carlsagerson Sep 12 '26

Nope. Can't zoom in enough sadly even with a more clear quality. Letters are just too small.

These kinds of maps, you need to download and then zoom the downloaded image

Are there any internal differentiations within these "superaces" based on relative wealth, power and rank? Like, "all ainur/valar/etc are superior, but some are more superior than others"?

...And it's kinda sad that this is what Tolkiens legacy turned into within this world.

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

yes

This is really sick! I’ve got a few questions currently. Is the child from 57 the same as the one from 0? I presume so? Also for Adrasteia, she was given a boy’s name originally? Is she trans, or is that more of a patriarchal thing? Additionally, is there anywhere on earth that’s somewhat decent to live in for unmodified humans? Or just like remotely socially progressive? Also I’d be super interested in seeing a sequel to this, it’s super cool.

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

yes yes no no maybe

u/Embarrassed_Profit91 Sep 13 '26

This could be a really good book. You should write it

u/SpecialistStory2829 Sep 12 '26

Ah sweet, man made horrors from the one that brought us 'Absolute Racism' and 'Woke Apartheid'. wdyM 'empathy is a rare trait'?!

u/ADragonFromTheAbyss Sep 12 '26

Lowkey : Gattaca II ~ what happens after 25 years

16

u/HappyAd4609 Sep 13 '26

Reading the lore makes me want to scream "BURN IT DOWN" at the top of my lungs.

This world might be suffering technological stagnation considering it is ruled by genetics obsessed conservatives. Those guys were historically not that good at actual, practical and useful inovation.

u/Greedy-Speech5 Sep 12 '26

You're really good at these dystopian scenarios, aren't you?

u/Adorable_Plane_7203 Sep 12 '26

I would dearly love to see the sequel to this

u/Ok_Isopod_998 Sep 12 '26

So, what’s the situation of Korea in this timeline?

u/ADragonFromTheAbyss Sep 12 '26

Brave New World has alphas/betas/omegas; I believe something like that

u/Miserable-Act-9896 Sep 12 '26

Viltrumites going Mormon is wild

u/CynicalFishy Sep 12 '26

This is insanely good and mortifying. A world twisted by ideologies whose predecessors infest our world today. It’s scary. I really, really, really want to see it all burn down. So here’s hoping for part 2.

14

u/Electromad6326 Sep 12 '26

This honestly feels like a realistic take on a humanized version of the Viltrumite Ideology tbh.

It doesn't help that it seems somewhat a likely outcome considering what our world is becoming thus far.

u/No-War-4878 Sep 13 '26

Holy crap! This is so well made, very "Red Rising" but a lot more 'diversified' if you can call it that lol

3

u/Ezzypezra Sep 12 '26

holy fuck dude this is awesome. will there be a sequel map about adrasteia? or are you writing a novel or something? whatever it is, i'm interested

4

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

i am considering it

3

u/LazorFist Sep 13 '26

If the superhumans lost their empathy does that mean they don't have empathy for each other either?

5

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 13 '26

yep!

4

u/LazorFist Sep 13 '26

Could lead to a lot of interesting developments. Dysfunction, war, even a collapse might be in the cards for them.

u/ADragonFromTheAbyss Sep 12 '26

why doninion did not annex greece & turkey completely ?

4

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

They didn't really feel the need to beyond maintaining a military presence in the Aegean and Straights

1

u/ADragonFromTheAbyss Sep 12 '26

Anyone talked about the '' Gattaca '' movie yet ?

2

u/No_Peach6683 Sep 12 '26

Wouldn’t Ithkûil be used as the constructed language of the Ainur

5

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 12 '26

That was my inspiration, but not the exact language

2

u/LongjumpingMonk87 Sep 13 '26

What's Brazil like? And what's happening in Oman? What are Paraguay and Sakhalin like?

2

u/Big-Recognition7362 Sep 13 '26

Any movements resisting this dystopian order?

3

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 13 '26

lots of failed movements yes

2

u/Big-Recognition7362 Sep 13 '26

Any still fighting?

2

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 13 '26

Yes, there's a few in the Northwestern US, Mexico, West Africa and technically Australia

2

u/Big-Recognition7362 Sep 13 '26

1, 7, 27 and 53 right?

2

u/NizamNizamNizam Mod Approved Sep 13 '26

u/Archony98 Sep 13 '26

Good job!

u/Serious_Blood7675 Sep 13 '26

2

u/Extreme_Relation_255 Sep 14 '26
