CatInGame Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Type : Map Founding/Settlement Date : Year 2457 (Common Era) Region of Space: Earth Controlled by : Sol Alliance Long Description: This is a new map for Earth, me and Erik passed about 20 hours on, with a good lore, modifying all the borders of continents and factions on Earth while staying realistic and respecting the lore. The actual map has an incredible sea rise of 100m if not more, which bugged me a lot, so I tried to make this one, with a sea level rise of around thirteen meters, being more realistic. [attachment=0]SS13 Aurora Earth map.png[/attachment] There aren't much changes to the lore except for the names of the political organisations, and different megacities, on the wiki the changes would look like this. Supranational Organizations Since the creation of the Sol Alliance, warfare between the nation-states of Earth has become nonexistent. This is also partially attributed to the creation of supranational organizations to help the various countries manage their respective continents, as well as the Sol Alliance's peacekeeping and mediation duties. Most of the countries that existed around the 21st century are still in existence, though some have either been absorbed into their neighbors, while others were submerged under rising sea levels. Below is a roster of supranational organizations on Earth. North American Confederation European Union United Republics of China Bharatstan South American Federation West African Community North Pacific Partnership Southern African Union East African Union Siberian Federation Central Asian Union Pacific Union Arab Council Nusantra United Congo Carribean Commonwealth Major Cities Earth is the most densely populated planet in known space. The major metropolitan areas can stretch for hundreds of miles, and are referred to as "megacities". Megacities sometimes merge into each other, or extend over bodies of water. The best example of this are the twin artificial land bridges across the Persian Gulf that connect Dubai to the mainland portion of the UAE. Megacities can be home to billions of people, and as such can sometimes be tiered, such as the case with Beijing, Los Angeles, Dubai, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York City, Tokyo, Jerusalem, and London. Below is a roster of megacities on Earth. 1.Taiheiyō Belt 2.Greater Manila 3.Seoul 4.Greater Tehran 5.Bohai 6.Taiwan 7.Zhusanjiao 8.Maharashtra 9.Delhi-Jaipur 10.Karechi 11.Đông Nam Bộ 12.Jakarta 13.Greater London 14.Rhine-Ruhr 15.Oslo 16.Moscow 17.Istanbul 18.Greater Cairo 19.Lagos 20.Kinshansa 21.Gauteng 22.North-East US 23.Greater Ontario 24.Greater Chicago 25.San Angeles 26.Mexico City 27.Bogota 28.Rio Paulo 29.Buenos Aires 30.Lima-Callao If it'd be needed I can easily change anything on the map, and I'm open to new ideas for it. I have multiple versions of it including the base map, borders, advanced borders, territories and megacities. I planned on adding some wonders, but it's incertain they could fit on it. I hope it pleases everyone and that it can be canonized ^-^ Link to comment

Dea Tacita Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here's a couple of things I dislike South American/Pacific Union/South African Control of parts of Antarctica (Would violate a number of international agreements, which with the Sol Alliance as the successor to the U.N. I would think unlikely) Scandinavia Included in the European Union. I just don't like this, a Scandinavian political union is better in my book. Japanese Control of those parts of Siberia. Japan is demilitarized (And the public is strongly in favor of this state) So, they wouldn't exactly have an opportunity to seize those parts of Kamchatka and Siberia. Russian inclusion in the EU. Yeah, this is just never going to happen. I really hope I don't have to explain this one. And a note, If you're going to make Catalonia/Galacia independent. I'd really like to see Vasconia/Occitania/Brittany/Venezia as independent parts too. P.S. I fucking love you for adding Chechnya as an independent part of the EU though. Link to comment
NebulaFlare Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can we take global warming into consideration, and change the landmasses, if that's not too muck to ask? Link to comment
CatInGame Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 South American/Pacific Union/South African Control of parts of Antarctica I can agree with that indeed, Anarctica could be a stateless place inhabitated by nothing more than communists and all other kinds of illegals, though it is still settled and multiple states already have claims on it in our time. If Scandinavia would form a personal union is to think about, The nordic countries are very different form each other (it'd give me the occasion to make Finland bigger, which I like a lot though) I keep that in my mind as idea. I'll have discuss about Russia with Erik, still It's totally true for Japan, but what you see in parts of Siberia are two independent states from the federation, who have a russo japanese and sino japanese population. Also I took in account more independences Otherwise, for the global warming, it had totally been acknowledged, You just have to look at any coast, except for the mediterrenean one, where there are changes, like no Florida, huge hole in China, etc. Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Oh and instead of having the Arab Sahrawi Republic in the West African community. I suggest making Morocco, Sahrawi, Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania and Libya into a Magreb Union. Link to comment
CatInGame Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Oh and instead of having the Arab Sahrawi Republic in the West African community. I suggest making Morocco, Sahrawi, Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania and Libya into a Magreb Union. Yeah, it's the idea I had in first place, but got them into eu because they are already part of european organizations, and also a majority of arabs would have tried to migrate into Europe because of the global warming. EU could have accepted the region because they're all brodering the mediteranean sea, and they'd want to avoid anyone else to control it. Link to comment
Erik Tiber Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here's a couple of things I dislike South American/Pacific Union/South African Control of parts of Antarctica (Would violate a number of international agreements, which with the Sol Alliance as the successor to the U.N. I would think unlikely) The idea was sorta that there were independent states in Antarctica, formed by settlers, and that these states then went and joined one of the supranational organizations. Unless that violates a treaty too, which it might, I'm not too familiar with that. Scandinavia Included in the European Union. I just don't like this, a Scandinavian political union is better in my book. Maybe we could mention some manner of EU breakup in the backstory, with the Scandinavian Union forming, followed by a resurgence of the EU? Japanese Control of those parts of Siberia. Japan is demilitarized (And the public is strongly in favor of this state) So, they wouldn't exactly have an opportunity to seize those parts of Kamchatka and Siberia. Yeah, the idea was that those were independent states, and that they were then sponsored by Japan. Thus the North Pacific Partnership. They're a supranational union, like the others. Russian inclusion in the EU. Yeah, this is just never going to happen. I really hope I don't have to explain this one. And a note, If you're going to make Catalonia/Galacia independent. I'd really like to see Vasconia/Occitania/Brittany/Venezia as independent parts too. I personally think this sounds pretty cool. P.S. I fucking love you for adding Chechnya as an independent part of the EU though. Yes, along with Ingushetia, Ossetia, and Dagestan. And another place whose name I can not recall at the moment. Can we take global warming into consideration, and change the landmasses, if that's not too muck to ask? To clarify: The reason for the mediterranean coastline remaining the same is because of the presence of a dam at the Straight of Gibraltar, constructed sometime in the 2200's. It's one of the megastructures. There could also be a trans-atlantic tunnel or two, along with the various arcologies. Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Unless that violates a treaty too, which it might, I'm not too familiar with that. It does All settlement and international claim to Antarctica is forbidden, it is to administrated by the United nations (Sol Alliance) for the common good of mankind. Link to comment

I was imagining that you could see some settlement there anyway once it warms up, maybe some mining operations. IT might be interesting, a nice place for anarchists or something. Hmm. In which case it's probably its own independent territory or something. Link to comment
Vittorio Giurifiglio Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hokay I have a few issues here, -Megacity in Sudbury, GTA would be better -Catalonia is Indepdent, While the popularity of Independence has dropped dramtically -Quebec is Independent and has control over the Extremely Anglo Maritimes, like what even even Rene Leveque would roll in his grave. -The Blue banana is not a Megacity chain -Libya is split into the Pre-Italian tribal viceroyalties of the Ottomans -Kurdistan being in the EU -Syria being in the EU, but not Damascus -Shia Iraq united with Sunni Arabia, -Karbakh being Autonomous in a union with Azerbijan, while Armenia is in the EU -No Ossentia and Abhazia, but little barely relevant Turkish republics -Russia disintegrating even after it Survived the Tsarists,Soviets, and Yelstin -(Joke) Greece is not in germany to pay debts -mfw when Trieste and Venice are independent -mfw Oslo is a megacity -Eritrean Djibouti -Darfur and South South Sudan -India and Pakistan united and not a Nuclear Crater -Chinese Muslims are independent -Tibet is independent even though it would have been fully colonized by now -The world still has a population despite the most fertile, Populous and built up areas of the World are under water Link to comment

Guest Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dea, isn't it kinda pointless do discuss treatese that will be more than 500 years old at that point. It's assumed that a lot has changed. After all, you can be fucking sure that when Arctic and Antartica finnally melt, everyone will start expoliting it for resources and fighting over it. Also, having Russia split into two, as in, severing the transiberian railway, will pretty much split the nation as well, as it is the both its lifeblood and glue. Isolated, half its size and surrounded by EU countries, Russia would pretty much have no choice than to join. Link to comment

Dea Tacita Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 when Arctic and Antartica finally melt, everyone will start exploiting it for resources and fighting over it. I'm kind of tired of people going "LOL RESOURCES" to justify a wide variety of things. ONE asteroid in the Belt would provide more resources to Humanity than we've consumed since....ever. We have hundreds of belts, in hundreds of systems. No-one would go crazy over the minuscule resources in the arctic. As for the Treaties part. No, they wouldn't just be abandoned...because there's no reason to do so. Especially since the successor to the U.N is in control.. Link to comment

In the current date, maybe not, but keep in mind there is a huge gap between effective asteroid mining and IRL date. Nations are already discussing it, albeit, I'll admit it doesn't seem it's gonna go away any time soon. All it takes is one nation to start ignoring and it all kinda breaks down. As for resources? Hitler invaded Poland and USSR for resources, not to exterminate anything. Middle east is burning because of need for resources, not some theological differences. And even if you don't want to mine there, there is no reason why no one would live there with all the overpopulation going on. It's only a stone's throw away from having a decent body of people and needing a stable government. Link to comment

Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Rusty has over 5,000 autonomous tentacles that each preformed individual research for this earth lore we have. I'll be giving him leave to take/leave what he wishes from this thread for his Earthlore. I approached him previously on editing Earthlore to its final version, and he can tweak it and pass it by me again so we can finalize it.

There's a few google docs of stuff I did research for, I can give links to sources I used and links to these docs too if you'd like. I will also readily admit that fudging has definitely occurred.

Would totally be all for this. -The Blue banana is not a Megacity chain Yeah, unsure of where else to put a major European megacity though.

They could probably be part of like. Uh. Maybe the Central Asian Union? Or Arab Community? -Syria being in the EU, but not Damascus -Shia Iraq united with Sunni Arabia, That's supposed to be more a community of independent nations. I never got around to editing Cating's version to include individual national borders. -Karbakh being Autonomous in a union with Azerbijan, while Armenia is in the EU Would totally be fine with changing this. -No Ossentia and Abhazia, but little barely relevant Turkish republics Would also be fine with changing this personally. -Russia disintegrating even after it Survived the Tsarists,Soviets, and Yelstin -(Joke) Greece is not in germany to pay debts I'm assuming that a big part of the secession of Siberia would be motivated by the fact that those areas are now majority ethnic Chinese. -mfw when Trieste and Venice are independent -mfw Oslo is a megacity -Eritrean Djibouti Would totally be fine with changing that. -Darfur and South South Sudan Darfur -India and Pakistan united and not a Nuclear Crater I'm assuming it's in the aftermath of a disintegration of Pakistan, wherein Sindhudesh and Balochistan both gained independence. -Chinese Muslims are independent -Tibet is independent even though it would have been fully colonized by now Assuming that both were granted autonomy as equal members with China in a newly-formed URC, after civil unrest lead to the dissolution of the Federal Republic of China. -The world still has a population despite the most fertile, Populous and built up areas of the World are under water It's an improvement over the map with 100 meters of sealevel rise.
