There is a massive evacuation effort on my Earth ...
Its a continuation of my Kaiserreich game where syndycalists a.k.a. communist in that timeline, overrun almost entire planet and in Aurora continuation i play as Australia/Entente.
Russia have crushed the bolshevik rebelion of 1918 only to sucumb to them in 1940 due to internal chaos following the assasination of president Kerensky.
Altough victorious in the Weltkrieg, German Empire had massive economy problems and have fallen once Commune of France attacked them with aid from the Union of Britain.
Second American Civil War ended up with the collapse of Federal goverment and creation of Combined Sydicates of America who the proceeded to destroy both Mexico and Canada ( where King of England sought refuge after syndycalist takeover of British Isles ).
Japan was quite expansionist, eager to jump on German colonial possesions in South East Asia but unlike in our timeline it had to forefit the expansion of the continent because most China was unified under the banner of newly formed Tian Empire, militant nationalist theocracy that was isolationist but ready to destroy all its enemies ( that was me ).
South America had it share of internal strife and wars as well when meagre remnants of Entente ( democratic alliance led by Australia after Canada downfall ) and Internationale ( commies ) battled for power.
By the 1960 power balance was struck.
Internationale controlled most of Eurasian continent ( almost everyone in Europe was syndycalist, Russia had puppeted India, Vietnam, Laos and rest of Indochina ), Africa and North America.
United States of South America bonded into one faction to remain independent.
Tian Empire power was growing as well as Empire of Japan.
Entente was composed of Australia, New Zealand and sad remnants of German Empire holed up on Madagascar and couple of Indian Ocean islands but managed to negotiate a ceasefire..
How ? By building, in secret, massive amount of nuclear weapons ( with "little" help from both Tian and Japan ).
Australians were unable to liberate rest of the world but Syndycalists didn't wanted to risk erasing humanity from existence by provoking one-sided nuclear conflict.
Of course both sides knew that status quo wont last forever and started the rapid industrialization and arming itself.
Lead by the Prime Minister Josh Godfrey and Edward's VIII son, His Majesty Henry Windsor, Australia transformed into one big armed camp. When TN science was discovered every square inch of that land was made useful - either as a farm, weapon factory or housing space.
Internationale and rest of the world followed and by the 1980 world was starting to get very tense place to live ( again ).
World War III started on 1st May, 1987.
Internationale launched a full on attack, thinking that lack of Australian spaceships means they are easy targets. But the lack of Entente navy was not without reason - they simply invested heavily into Planetary missile and defence bases.
Who then returned the investment tenfold - in mere hours entire Internationale navy and all its land bases were smoldering wrecks and their forces were in full retreat.
However - nuclear exchange lowered the Earths average temperature and upped Earth radiation level to the point where annual population growth dropped to -3.5 %.
Faced with the extinction of human race ( i have only 374m people now, down from almost 500 ), Entente and rest of the world raced to construct starships to evacuate our planet.
With Luna and Mars being annexed in the early 70's by the Tian Empire, the Entente gaze is directed far outside the inner asteroid belt, to the airless rock known as Europa....
On August 23 1992, 20 000 Entente settlers arrive on Europa onboard the Diaspora class freighter Astral Queen...
