O Brave New World - Modern Nations FRP
 

Introduction
For the last two decades historians, journalists, and intellectuals have attempted to label the twenty-first century as one of both great promise, but also one filled with uncertainty. However, how could they make this label with only two decades, less than 50%, of time elapsed?

 

What the future holds for the people of Earth, for its modern nation-states, remains unclear and no historian or intellectual can predict exactly what is to come. The global economy and geopolitical landscape both seem uncertain, straddling between the prospect of incredible success or catastrophic failure.

The nations of the world in 2018 must deal with a variety of complex issues, but a new generation has risen to tackle these issues with innovative solutions though their inexperience may prove to only harm their nation, not help it. Older generations, meanwhile, hope to help their country by utilizing past, successful methods and applying them to the problems of today. It is the responsibility of the leaders of these nations to weigh their options and choose what may be best for their country.

The Global Community
In 2017, an unprecedented global effort coordinated through the United Nations finally took a stand to global terrorism and announced a joint task-force to deal with terrorism and intervene in the Middle East to re-establish the status quo. After a broad coalition was formed consisting primarily of Russian, Chinese, and American troops (an unprecedented, maybe even unthinkable group), the U.N. ordered the immediate eradication of all ISIS operators and territory.

It was over in a month, the Islamic State ceased to exist. After their defeat, a volunteer corp of varying national identities took to occupying both Syria and Southern Iraq while a pro-U.N. state was established in Kurdistan. By the end of 2020, the United Nations hopes to have stabilized the region enough to reintroduce fair government in both Syria and Iraq, however what kind is still up for debate.

In the United States, President [I’ll let the U.S. player pick] has largely been inconsequential to American politics thus far with most of their actions blocked by the Congress or strongly opposed by the American people. The only thing anybody can agree on is the need to re-assert the strength of the United States either domestically or abroad.
 

Europe has seen an interesting shift in power as the European Union, without being held back by the United Kingdom, has pushed for even greater integration and Unification. The most adamant leaders in this effort are the liberal governments of both Germany and France though a great amount of opposition to such an effort has been met with scrutiny by the general public in Europe who still wish to maintain their national identities.

South East Asia and Africa continue along their path to incredible industrial development as states such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Vietnam experience incredible growth and improvements in general prosperity and standards of living. Of course the Indians and Chinese still dominate this sector and their economies continue to skyrocket despite doubts in regards to the Chinese real estate market which appears to be teetering on the brink of collapse.
