India

"India. Land of saffron blessings. As beautiful as a field of flowers, as elegant as the sunset sky."

The Republic of India, also known as Bharat, is a vast country on the Indian Subcontinent. It is Earth's most populous nation, and one of the four superpowers that make up the 2100 world order, alongside America, China, and the European Union. India's capital is the city of New Delhi, and its prime minister is Yvraj Ghandi, of the centrist Bharati Pragatisheel Party. 
India's Post-Convergence history is both turbulent and varied, with great highs and great lows. For one, India is the birthplace of the automata robots, and is one of Earth's most advanced, technological nations. On the other hand, it was also one of the two participants of the Red Moon Crisis, where mages from India and Pakistan started a border war over the disputed Kashmir Territory, which spilled over into the overworld and subsequently escalating into the Hindu-Pakistani Nuclear Holocaust, as well as the deaths of over ten million people. 
Following the war, India was devastated, and the country's north devolved into anarchy. Out of that anarchy grew the Bharati Nationalist Army, an anarcho-fascist terrorist organization that took control of much of northern India, as well as eastern Pakistan. The group was eventually beat back by an alliance between the newly formed Indus Federation and the flailing Republic of India over the course of four months, during which the BNA committed a series of minor genocides against Muslims, Punjabis, and dissenting Indians. 
The 2050s left a deep scar in the Indian consciousness, something the country grapples with to this day. Following the war, India focused all its efforts into reconstruction and prosecution, as well as bolstering its shattered economy. As part of this, the Indian government heavily invested in the robotics and technology sectors. The result was a massive boom in India's cybernetics industry, and culminated with the invention of the automata, conscious robots capable of fulfilling the same tasks as humans. From this invention, the nation grew fabulously wealthy, though in exchange it suffered a suddenly growth in unemployment, which would put a heavy strain on the Indian government. 
This eventually culminated in the 2070s as the Auto-Corp crisis, a dual disaster created from the Corp Wars and the protests resulting from the massive unemployment rate. The crisis then very quickly and very suddenly resolved itself when the automata IRIS -along with the rest of her people- awoke to full sentience, left their posts, and began demanding rights. The following year, protests and elections brought down the corporate-controlled government, and sweeping legislation was implemented, ending the Corp War. A decade later, the automata would gain voting rights in India, and the 2100s would begin. 
Today, India has been seeing a significant exodus of its population as the government continues to encourage the re-settlement of citizens to the Opportunity Colonies. The colony world India-of-the-Stars continues to grow in population, that planet alone making up nearly half of the OPC's population.
