Fractured Horizons: The Era of Earth's Five Major Powers
Froggiest1982:
2040: Background.
In the shadows of 1945, when the world still echoed with the haunting memories of war, a resilient spirit emerged from the rubble — the Unified Earth Coalition (UEC). With a noble mission to mend the fractures of nations and foster a united front, the UEC operated in secrecy, cultivating advanced technologies that would lay the cornerstone for an epoch of unforeseen possibilities.
The turning point arrived in 1965, casting a transformative light on humanity's trajectory. Deep within Earth's bosom, scientists unearthed the key to a cosmic revolution — Trans-Newtonian minerals. This discovery, shrouded in secrecy to avert a global scramble, unfurled a panorama of technological marvels that had the potential to redefine human existence.
The golden era of 1970-1985 marked the zenith of the UEC's dominance, as they boldly established colonies on Mars and the Moon, wielding the power of Trans-Newtonian technology. The allure of advanced knowledge and access to precious minerals drew nations into the UEC's fold, knitting a global tapestry of interdependence. Yet, beneath this facade of unity, the seeds of nationalism germinated, swelling into a formidable force that sought to challenge the UEC's authority.
As the world navigated the tumultuous years of 1990-2020, Earth became a stage for conflict. Nationalist movements, fueled by the promise of Trans-Newtonian resources, rose like tidal waves against the UEC's control. A struggle for independence ensued, with nations clashing over the dominion of these newfound treasures.
In the unfolding cosmic narrative, 2025-2035 saw Earth fragmented into five major powers. The once-unified coalition now splintered into factions, each clutching territories and colonies with a fervent grip. The solar system became a theater of contention, with divergent ideologies battling for supremacy.
By the time Earth reached 2040, the five major powers stood as cosmic contenders, their destinies interwoven with the intricate threads of Trans-Newtonian minerals. The cosmic tapestry bore witness to the ambitions and rivalries of these powers, each striving to etch its mark upon the celestial canvas. The stage was set, and the cosmos awaited the unfolding drama of Earth's five major powers.
Asian Dominion (AD): In the sprawling geopolitical landscape, the Asian Dominion (AD) emerged as a force, fuelled by authoritarian rule and military might. Determined to control Trans-Newtonian resources, the AD's large population and robust military made it a formidable contender. Despite limited technological innovation and constrained trade, the AD planted its flag on the Moon and Titan, casting its gaze toward cosmic dominance. Suspicious of the United Terran Federation (UTF), wary of the Euro-African Coalition's (EAC) military resolve, recognizing the technological prowess of the EAC, and admiring the innovation of the Oceanic Alliance (OA), the AD stepped onto the cosmic stage.

For many years, various powers have been involved in diplomatic efforts, trade agreements, and occasional conflicts over Trans-Newtonian resources. In an attempt to preserve the balance of power and prevent a World War III, treaties were established. These treaties initially aimed to prohibit the use of certain weapons in space to avoid catastrophic consequences and to regulate various other matters.

Interstellar Environmental Protection Agreement (IEPA): Recognizing the potential environmental impact of space colonization, the powers have committed to sustainable and responsible practices. This includes guidelines for waste management, resource extraction, and environmental monitoring on colonized planets and moons.
Solar System Resource Sharing Pact (SSRSP): To prevent conflicts over Trans-Newtonian resources, the powers have agreed to a system of resource sharing. In the event of resource scarcity on a particular planet or moon, the powers will negotiate fair access and distribution rather than resort to military confrontation.
Non-Aggression and Scientific Collaboration Treaty (NASC): The powers pledge not to engage in aggressive military actions against each other within the solar system. Additionally, they commit to collaborative efforts in scientific research and exploration, encouraging the sharing of technological advancements for the benefit of all.
Inter-Power Communication Protocol (IPCP): To facilitate diplomatic communication and avoid misunderstandings, the powers have established a standardized communication protocol for translating languages and ensuring accurate transmission of diplomatic messages.

Australia seems to belong to two factions, did West Australia finally declare independence? Will the Oceanic Alliance develop Gundams at some point?
I am quite a fan of making in-house rules for games like this, I get the general idea of the other treaties, but I'm not sure what the Interstellar Environmental Protection Agreement actually means in-game. Does it mean you don't want to colonise certain places or don't want to use terraforming?
I think this will be very interesting, I'm looking forward to your first update ;D

At the moment, the Interstellar Environmental Protection Agreement spawned fewer mines than you would normally have in a TN start with the given populations. Also, treaties may vary, change, or be formed/canceled.

Thanks, I am planning updates for every year, and I have already played 5 years to create a bit of delay, which based on my experience I will need for when things get bigger or more complicated due to inevitable skirmishes.

2041: Echoes of Power and Diplomacy.
In the heart of global politics, where power and diplomacy intertwined, an unexpected turn of events triggered a cascade of economic tensions that would test the resolve and negotiation skills of two major alliances: the Euro-African Coalition (EAC) and the South American Union (SAU).
Economic tensions, long-simmering beneath the surface, erupted into the open as the EAC sought to address trade imbalances and resource disputes. Proposing new trade regulations, the EAC aimed to rectify economic disparities, but the SAU perceived these regulations as unfavorable and a threat to their economic stability.
Negotiations commenced, and the diplomatic arena became a battleground of words and strategies. Both powers, proud and determined, sought to safeguard their economic interests. The discussions grew heated as the world watched, uncertain of whether these economic titans would collide in a full-scale trade war.
However, as the negotiations reached a boiling point, a surprising turn of events unfolded. Through a series of diplomatic maneuvers and concessions, the EAC and SAU managed to avoid the brink of a trade war. The leaders on both sides recognized the importance of maintaining stability in the global economy, and a compromise was reached.
Revised trade terms were agreed upon, addressing the concerns of both the EAC and the SAU. The outcome was a testament to the power of diplomacy and negotiation, proving that even in the face of economic tensions, rational discourse could prevail.
The perception update for all powers reflected the outcome of the event. The EAC was now viewed as assertive in economic matters, showcasing its strength and determination. On the other hand, the SAU was seen as cooperative in resolving economic disputes, earning praise for their willingness to engage in diplomatic solutions.
The adjusted political landscape showed a slight diplomatic advantage for the EAC. The alliance had demonstrated not only its economic strength but also its negotiation skills, earning respect on the global stage.
Surprisingly, despite the intensity of the economic tensions, no changes were made to existing treaties. The world, it seemed, had witnessed a diplomatic dance between two powerful alliances, and the status quo remained intact. The events had unfolded, and the global stage was left to grapple with the ever-shifting dynamics of international relations.
Later in the year, on the vast expanse of Europa, where territorial boundaries were as fluid as the icy currents, a military confrontation unfolded between two formidable entities: the United Terran Federation (UTF) and the Oceanic Alliance (OA).
Accusations flew as the UTF claimed that the OA was encroaching on its territory. The spark ignited a military response from both powers, and the once-quiet borders of Europa were now arenas of tension and mobilization. Fleets were readied, and the galaxy held its breath, anticipating the clash of these powerful forces.
As the conflict unfolded, it escalated into a limited military engagement. Losses were incurred on both sides, a somber reminder of the high stakes at play. However, amidst the chaos, diplomatic channels cracked open. The leaders of the UTF and the OA recognized the need to avert a full-scale war that could plunge the region into devastation.
A ceasefire was declared, halting the military hostilities, and negotiations began in earnest. The diplomatic community cast its watchful eye on the proceedings, urging both powers to find common ground and prevent further bloodshed.
The perception update for all powers reflected the nuanced outcome of the event. The UTF was perceived as assertive in defending its territorial claims, showcasing its determination to protect what it considered its own. On the other hand, the OA was viewed as cooperative in resolving conflicts, a signal that diplomatic solutions were not off the table.
The adjusted political landscape revealed a slight easing of tensions between the UTF and the OA as they engaged in diplomatic talks. The once hostile atmosphere gave way to a fragile calm, providing an opportunity for the powers to recalibrate their positions.
In response to the unfolding drama, a temporary ceasefire was established, allowing both powers to step back from the brink of all-out war. The negotiations that followed aimed to redraw borders and redefine the territorial landscape, guided by the shared goal of preventing further military confrontations.
These outcomes unfolded in the intricate dance of politics and power, a reminder that even in the face of military clashes, the potential for diplomacy and resolution could emerge from the depths of conflict.

2042: Cosmic Crescendo.
In the vast reaches of the solar system, where celestial bodies held secrets waiting to be unearthed, a moon, nestled in the quiet expanse of space, suddenly became the epicenter of fervent activity. Trans-Newtonian resources, long overlooked, were discovered in abundance. The revelation set off a fevered rush among factions, each vying to establish mining colonies and secure lucrative trade agreements to harness the newfound wealth.
As Io's surface echoed with the hum of mining operations and the clink of trade negotiations, economic prosperity cascaded across the solar system. The Euro-African Coalition (EAC), the United Terran Federation (UTF), the South American Union (SAU), the Oceanic Alliance (OA), and the Asian Directorate (AD) found themselves presented with unparalleled opportunities for profit and resource extraction.
In this cosmic economic dance, the UTF and EAC, recognizing the potential for mutual benefit, forged a temporary economic alliance. Together, they became the economic powerhouses of the solar system, their joint ventures in resource extraction and trade reshaping the balance of economic power.
The perception update rippled through the factions. The UTF and EAC were lauded as visionary leaders, fostering cooperation for the collective good. The SAU and OA, though reaping the benefits of newfound trade, remained cautiously optimistic, wary of potential economic disparities. The AD, rooted in its state-controlled economy, expressed concerns about falling behind in the economic race.
The political landscape shifted as the economic alliance between the UTF and EAC took center stage. The once discreet players now commanded attention, influencing the economic dynamics of the solar system.
Amidst this economic renaissance, treaties were revised, and restrictions were adjusted. The UTF and EAC, recognizing the potential of their partnership, signed a short-term economic cooperation agreement. The document outlined joint ventures in resource extraction and trade, solidifying their commitment to economic prosperity.
Despite the solar system's economic boom and renewed cooperation, tensions between the United Terran Federation (UTF) and the Asian Dominion (AD) reached a critical juncture. The UTF sought to exert influence over the Asian Dominion through a blend of diplomacy and military posturing, aiming to forge a military alliance or establish a buffer zone to mitigate perceived threats.
Diplomats from both powers engaged in tense negotiations, and military forces mobilized along contested borders, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Despite initial resistance from the AD, the United Terran Federation succeeded in shaping the Asian Dominion's military strategy. A buffer zone emerged along the disputed borders, a diplomatic stroke that prevented direct military confrontations and reduced the imminent risk of cosmic conflict.
As a result, the UTF was now perceived as a diplomatic and military influencer, asserting dominance over the Asian Dominion. Meanwhile, within the AD, a nuanced sentiment emerged—diametrically influenced diplomatically, yet tinged with internal dissatisfaction over perceived concessions.
With the immediate crisis averted, the powers adjusted their goals and strategies in the cosmic chess game. The UTF had achieved its objective of influencing AD's military strategy and, as such, maintained a defensive military posture while continuing diplomatic efforts to consolidate its gains.
The Asian Dominion, recognizing the geopolitical reality, shifted its focus to internal stability. Simultaneously, efforts were redirected toward establishing potential alliances to counterbalance the growing influence of the UTF in the cosmic arena.
Amidst this recalibration, a new diplomatic understanding emerged between the UTF and AD. The buffer zone, a symbol of compromise and strategic positioning, formed the basis of this accord. Despite the tensions, no wars were declared, and no truces sought. The cosmic balance had shifted, alliances were tested, and the powers now navigated the uncharted territories of influence and diplomacy, aware that the cosmos held both unity and discord within its infinite depths.
As a consequence of this challenging year, the Asian Dominion (AD) made a significant move. A formal request resonated through the corridors of diplomacy, expressing the intention to reconsider or terminate the Solar System Resource Sharing Pact (SSRSP) and the Trans-Newtonian Arms Control Treaty (TACT), ensuring the ability to protect strategic locations and resources if necessary. Thus began a dance of diplomacy and potential upheaval.
Confronted with concerns about resource access, the AD's request triggered intense diplomatic negotiations among the solar powers. Other factions responded with mixed reactions, each assessing the potential consequences and benefits of this crucial decision.
In this political arena, various potential outcomes stood out, each carrying its ramifications.
Eventually, a decision emerged. The powers agreed to review and potentially modify the SSRSP, addressing the economic needs of the Asian Dominion. AD secured more favorable terms for resource extraction while upholding the delicate balance of security outlined in TACT. As diplomats navigated the intricacies of politics, the adjusted treaties and perceptions paved the way for a new chapter in the unfolding saga of solar system politics.

NOTE: Unfortunately, I cannot find the race comparison for this year as I was away for the holidays and I guess it may have been forgotten on my other desktop. The good news is that I have all the others, so this is a one-off. I will instead provide some context for what these updates mean, as it may not be clear from the narrative, and you will have to imagine or read between the lines. In this case, the RNG event of the new moon with minerals resulted in all powers gaining a free mining colony on Io. Each power uses a preset setup, considering how many resources in terms of population and infrastructure they can commit at the time of the event. Nobody receives "free" stuff; rather, they gain the ability to "teleport" instantaneously what is required. When necessary, I may add a line highlighting what was SMed as a result of the event. However, I believe it breaks the immersion. In case of any doubts, feel free to drop a post asking—I'm always happy to reply! ;D
FULL DISCLOSURE: Text and RNG events are managed by my personal AI, AuroraGPT. I actively engage in questioning AuroraGPT, seeking clarification on various events and their implications and also prompt in manually my events based on the game ones. This process involves more than a quick three-second command and a copy-paste; considerable effort is invested while simultaneously playing the game and controlling all races, including humans and, if applicable, aliens. As spoilers, only Raiders and Precursors are currently active, and there may or may not be swarms introduced at some point via SM.
