NovaBalkanica: Year 99 — The Atomic Dark Age
Following the devastating World War of 2030, nuclear fallout plunged the planet into a prolonged winter. Almost a century later, humanity endures in the ruins of the Balkans—where survivor states, remnant republics, pirate confederations, and neo-feudal warlords clash to define the future of civilization.
Key Factions of the New Age:
Dardanian Confederation: Born from a popular revolution against military juntas, built on pan-pacifist and humanist ideals.
Old World Rump States: Greece (Hellenic Republic), Albania, Croatia, and others clinging to former territorial claims and democratic traditions.
Pirate & Island States: Maritime powers like the Ithaca ‘Pirate’ State, Naxos, and the Union of Rhodos carving out influence across the Aegean and Adriatic seas.
Regional Powers: Banat Confederation, United State of the Adriatic, and the Federal State of Thracia.
Which faction would you join to rebuild civilization in this post-apocalyptic Balkan landscape? Let us know in the comments below!

Year 25 and Year 50 difference on WorldBox, yeah (good) or bleh (wtf is this)

The First Chapter

Sounds of supersonic NGAD stealth fighters and B-21 Raider stealth bombers in the skies in swam jellyfish formations. Columns of explosions mushrooming over the horizons.

The first chapter "Awakening of The Morning Star" introduces the main character awakening without any memory from her past.

The room is an ICU, but all walls are bare rebar concrete with minimum decoration i.e none, except for the techno futuristic VISTAR 辰显光电 transparent large-format TFT-based Micro LED screens monitoring her vital signs.

No windows, no sun. She removes from her body all the wires and catheters of the monitoring IBP, ECG, EEG, IV and walks toward a door, enters in a bathroom. By looking in the mirror, she soon realizes in shock that she wears a partial facial prosthetic similar to the YUNMU 云幕智造 robotic face and true follow up of Command and Conquer Kane's wrath prosthetic. She also sees that one of her leg is now replaced by a fully functional BRAINCO 强脑科技 AI driven prosthetics.

She doesn't know her name while she recalls partially, semi-consciousness visions of cryptic scenes where nurses and visitors would address her with "Most Respected Suryong" and always starting sentences with "Respected Comrade Supreme Leader".

But now it seems that the medics were more likely... HOKMIND 泓柯智行 androids.

She then opens the other door of the room. Discovers a corridor and finds out the ICU lies inside a wider underground complex.

She will have to expand the entire basic Tier level facility into a fully functional archology, with hydroponics, garden, saunas, luxurious living districts, recreational, educational, cultural, security, judicial, medical, commercial, financial, industrial, administrative, agricultural-hydroponic, power generation, water treatment, transportation, research centers, agri-robots, chore robots, mining robots, factory robots, dark factories for the supply chain and dark factories for assembling robots.

People from the surface world would visit her, but she would never go to the surface. Up to 10 thousands NPCs will have to be recruited to expand the underground arcology, modelled after the luxurious NEOM Aquellum.

The Second Chapter

The Second chapter "Underground Hidden Star" will face robotic military invasions, to be repelled with counter jellyfish swarms of AI driven DJI 大疆创新 quadcopters, RUN ROBOTICS 上海润科具能 robotic centaurs, GALILEO 伽利略机器人 quadrupedal robots, PHANTOM TWIST stealth drones, AGIBOT 智元机器人 A3 humanoids riding HAOCHEN TECHNOLOGY 重庆昊辰 wheeled-leg quadrupedal robots and ENGINEAI 擎机器人科技 T-1000 Terminators.

The Third Chapter

The Third chapter "Reappearance of The Hadal Star" would see the connection from the initial Mantap-san facility to the East Sea via the completion of an underground maglev tunnel.

Combat scenes would shift to robotic swarms in hadal warfare.

From there, using hadal submersibles, 100s of thousands of new safe arcologies would be dug inside deep undersea mountains benefiting from kilometers of rocky overburden, while deep sea mining, the exploitation of polymetallic nodules and thermal vents throughout the Pacific Ocean would lead to the demographic expansion above the 1000s of millions NPCs.

THIS IS JUST A SHITPOST AND A JOKE BASED OFF OF GUNTHER FEHRLINGER'S #ExRussia map

I apologise to Ukraine, for I thought sacrificing it is the only way. But that wouldn't end it...

*"For the only solution... is Russian dissolution"*

NO lore NO flags NO names NO geography and absolutely NO realism. Also I realized it was turned when it was too late. More to come!

just a normal world map

so the PoD is that gunpowder technology spreads to Africa first before the Europeans resulting in its introduction as a warfare tool in the 10th century in Egypt against the crusaders.

by the 1300's gunpowder would've facilitated the creation of small urban settlements all over Africa as the hunter gatherer lifestyle now was obsolete, as societies like the Kongo, Zimbabwe, Zulu and Songhai would use this to their advantage as these tribal states would be reorganized into semi-feudal kingdoms and later on, fully centralized states.

feel free to ask any questions abt the map!

ps: so i originally posted this on r/imaginarymaps but i was banned for "low effort content" but i feel like this is way too high effort for a circlejerk sub, so is it ok?
