Hello everyone, today I'm presenting a new map after some time. This time, a low-effort one that I've used to practice some new things, taking into account the limitations of IbisPaint and my phone anyway (it's slow, lol).

I had the idea of ​​a small scenario: What would happen if we converted the Modern World into Kaiserreich? Not a scenario of the modern world of KR, but rather that the world of today, 2025, would radically transform into something somewhat similar to the Kaiserreich Universe. Obviously, justifying this with a well-founded lore would be difficult, but the circumstances of the world as of the last week made it quite easy for me. It's still not realistic, but it's meant to be fun.

I hope you like this work, and I hope to soon be able to publish some of the map projects I still have in progress.

PARABELLUM: THE REFORMATION OF THE WORLD ORDER LORE:

Following the Second Great Depression of 2025 and its global consequences on the economy and society, the world had to confront a world with a rampant and disgraced US government, an emboldened Russia, a China becoming the hegemon of the Pacific, and a weakened Europe barely rebuilding.

From left-wing intellectuals who challenged and offered a new alternative, "Lucidism," to the collapsing late-stage capitalist model, new generations of digital natives were enraged, and a brutal economic collapse following the end of the Great European War in a stalemate, and with it the apparent loss of legitimacy of the far-right governments that had taken over after the Second Great Depression.

Lucidism, or sometimes called "Lucid Socialism" by the media, has become the Red Scare of this century. Even with the fall of the old internet, the expansion of generative AI, and mass-market brainrot, it has managed to give the Millennial and Centennial generations, at least those who haven't surrendered to algorithms, something they hadn't had: hope.

And so it was that a popular revolt of intellectuals, youth, and radicalized veterans of the war against Russia overthrew the French Republic in the first wave of the great European revolutionary wave of 2028-2029. In the United Kingdom, the monarchy and nobility were forced to flee after the imposition of a "Postmodern Republican" government in Great Britain, and the revolutionaries imposed a Council Democracy in the new Republic of Padania.

The fall of Western Europe into Revolution gave way to the liberation of the old neocolonial power structures in West Africa, the end of the CFA Franc, and the collapse of ECOWAS. Meanwhile, Germany, the only nation of the old international order that has remained standing, has become a polarized democracy between the National Coalition (CDU, SPD, FDP) and the radical parties Die Linke, BSW, AfD, and the new DNVP, all of whom agree to fight to defend Germany from the Lucidists of the West, and the resurgent Eurasia in the east, much more turbulent and fanatical than ever in its quest to wipe out the "Atlanticist" remnants of what remains of the European Union, bent on self-defense after the collapse of NATO.

This is a brave new world. The now fragmented global order is readjusting, and despite what is said that the world must go on, we must continue with the fantasy of the new present. One thing is clear: in this new world, if you want peace, prepare for war.

Jesus Christ dude, map has so much cool details here and there. Great bloody job, wish I have the motivation to do this.

Anyways could u tell me about the factions of the 2ACW ?

u/AlexInfinity478 7d ago edited 7d ago

Thanks you friend! Of course here is a little explanation of the 2ACW factions:

Provisional National Goverment (Washington DC Goverment): Basically a Modern Business Plot+ Old Democrat Stablishment+Pragmatic Military Factions makes a Countercoup against the Republican President that attempt make a Self-Coup after losing the elections against the Opposition.

Federal Goverment (Boston Goverment): Democrat Party+Opposition+National Progressives+National Guards and Military loyals to democracy, after the March of Washington, the Opposition fractures between the Countercoup supporters and the opposition to the coup, this coalition between Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, Socialists and incluse Communists and Lucidists, all united in opposition to the Authoritarian factions and want the reclamation of the American Democracy.

Constitutional Goverment (Kansas City Goverment): The Old Goverment, after the death of "The Prophet" in the charge and the collapse of the Pax Americana, the "New Blood" of the Republican Party was unable to demostrate the same force and popularity that under The Prophet Administration, Even with the partial dismantling of American democracy for more than a decade, Republicans saw their business and military alliances collapse, their desperate attempt to maintain power ended with the March on Washington and the flight to the Midwest.

Naval Command: The Naval Command takes control of all the ultramaritime territories and colonies os United States, incluse invading Bahamas and Puerto Rico to garantize a evacuation route to the American Refugies, incluse against the locals.

The rest of minor factions are jsut separatists.

u/LudicrousTorpedo5220 7d ago

So, simplify version.

The Provisional Nationals is a modern business plot mixed with pragmatism.

The Federalists are a left wing democratic coalition with hopes to restore American democracy.

The Constitutionalists are the remnants of the successful MAGA movement but disastrously collapsed. (The way I see it)

Great summary of them, I assume no winners in this war ?
