International State

The Federal Republic of the State Nations of Northern America and Eurasia more commonly known as the International State or, informally, North America-Eurasia, is an authoritarian leftist and centrist ultranationalist Eurasianist human supremacist multinational state encompassing a vast majority of the territory north of the Tropic of Cancer on planet earth in the 2200's.
After the Fall of Moscow in 2034, Russia is Balkanized into Muscovite Russia (Moscow), Siberia, the Sakha Republic, North Asia, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Mordovia, Mari El, Komi, Chuvashia, Udmurtia, and the Confederation of Chechnya incorporating the 8 Caucasian Republics of Russia into their own nation. The period between 2035 and 2061 (26 years) is seen by many historians as the peak of Republican Russia. In 2053, the Republicans launch a protracted war (Russian Unification War) with one another to unify Russia that lasts until 2059. The result is the annexation of the 12 Russian Nations into Semi-Autonomous Republics of Confederate Scandinavia and Slavic Europe, negotiated with the European Union as mediator. The deal was that the Republicans would reunite Russia – under the rule of the United Nations. With all of Europe already federalized, the fiat-annexation of sections of the former-Russian Federation by the Eurasian Republics (and actual annexation by Scandinavia) completes the unification of Eurasia under Authoritarian Imperialist ideology. The final capstone being the annexation of Mongolia followed by Korea’s Turkish allies annexing all the Central Asian “Stans” – and last but not least, all Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos – are swept into the Social-Imperialist Superstate, as a result (to unify the military) the Union of Socialist Korean Republics (USKR) is established in 2062. A year later Eurasia and Korea sign into existence the Commission of Eurasian Nations (CEN) and the Eurasian Republics Alliance (ERA) is established as a military union in 2064. The Socialist Government of semi-autonomous North America signs the Hemispheric Free Trade Agreement (HeFTA) with the ERA in 2066.
 Starting in the early-2100's, Eurasia began a process of federalization through national political parties aligned with the ideology of the International State. These polities would begin in Turkic and Russian nations, such as Tatarstan and Azerbaijan, as the Federal Republic of State Nationalists or "СНФР" were far-left nationalist imperialists based out of Nur-Sultan and Baku. Spin-off centrist parties in Europe loyal to the ideology would also seize power later in the 2190's and 2200's. Other countries considered "outside" of Eurasia were also granted membership in the International State, with Eurasia the dominant power of said International State. The Federal Republic of State Nations would be formally founded on 9 November 2203, becoming a wealthy nation due to its nigh-unanimous monopoly on the asteroid belt with exceptional informal territories on Pallas, Vesta, Hygiea and Interamnia.
==European–Arab conflict==
While the Russian States and Scandinavia were initially supportive of the efforts to overthrow the Church, their escalating war with Tatarstan and the Turks as a whole would push them firmly into the pro-Europe, pro-Catholic camp with the rest of the European Union and Latin America. While the American States and their allies in the Commonwealth would rapidly turn the tide against the nationalists in the West, the formation of an "Arab NATO" and federalization of most of the Arab World would do little to turn the tide against the EU and their puppet states in Central Africa, Israel and Cyprus. This would primarily manifest in the growing divide between the Arab and Persian schools of thought with how to respond to European and Turkish neo-imperialism. Although the two factions would remain united and successful in their resistance to EU-NATO aggression, it would delay and dampen their overall victory, and contribute to the rise of Baku under an emerging Eurasian-Korean superstate that would readily exploit the economically-fragile region - Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan falling firmly into the orbit of the International State of Turk Eurasia, Canada and the Korean Union by 2098.
==Arabian War (2069–2082)==
Following the devastating War in North Africa (sometimes referred to as the Arabian War, after the principle nation-state involved), which simultaneously resulted in the collapse of the aggressor faction - the European Bloc - the planet was left without a clear unipolar leader aside from the increasingly fascistic Moon Lobby central to Korea, Eurasia and parts of North America. Britain had exhausted most of its land forces defending against scattered German-Slav invasions, and the Latins had all but complete dominance over a majority of the Western Hemisphere. Even what industrialized regions of Europe that remained standing had all relocated off-world to the newly-established exclave of Elysium, the city-state and its territories winning the concurrent Martian Civil War against the Terrans. But although the Europeans would export their heavy industry and political weight into the cosmos, so too would the Arabians, and they would share Mars... tentatively (mainly out of strategic alliance against their common foe). The Arabian War would not only shape Earthling geopolitics for decades to come, but cosmopolitics as well. Needless to say, the clear victors in the war against the United Nations and NATO - the American States, East Africa and, after over a century of internal conflict and socioeconomic turmoil, the Indian Republics - would go on to form the Earth Committee, supplanting a vast majority of the planet's economy, population and landmass, with the rest falling under the purview of the Internationalists and the Lunar Lobby.
===NATO Invasion of North Africa===
Disclosed over a century after said events; the Keplerian–Terran invasion of Arabian Mars in 2071 was based on false flag attacks in Kepler City. The supposed Martian Arab extremist was in fact a saboteur hired by the Lunar Lobby in the 2060's, and was responsible for several prior attacks in Hesperia during the Terran War with Kepler. 15 were killed in Terran precision strikes on Argyre and New Syria, resulting in the rest of the polities on Mars along with the UN launching sanctions on both Arabian Mars and Terra. In response to the 2071 attacks on Kepler City, Europe and Russia launch an invasion of Tunisia and Libya in early 2072. The concurrent war with the Byzantine-Yakuts-Congo axis would push Russia-Siberia, Europe and Turkey into a defensive alliance which would constitute the principle coalition projecting its power into Arabia.
===Backlash and dissolution of UN and NATO===
After the NATO-UN Invasions of Egypt, Cairo and Tripoli that would leave in its wake over 1 million dead, the UN would do an internal review and find that it was complicit in war crimes. In a fateful General Assembly on 5 March 2078, the United Nations would be dissolved. Over the course of the 2090's and 2100s and into the 2110s, NATO would soon follow, one-by-one as nation-states stepped down from the organization. The process was slow and grueling and did not happen virtually overnight as in the case of the fall of the USSR in 1991. It was around this time that Turkic, Russian and European countries would see the rise of the Федеративная Республика Государства Националисты (Federativnaya Respublika Gosudarstva Natsionalisty) or Federal Republic of State Nationalists. As these parties began in the former-USSR and spread throughout Eurasia during the 22nd century, the world would bear witness to the birth of a new kind of empire.
===Formation of the Earth Committee and International State===
Starting in the early-2100's, Eurasia began a process of federalization through national political parties aligned with the ideology of the International State. These polities would begin in Turkic and Russian nations, such as Tatarstan and Azerbaijan, as the Federal Republic of State Nationalists or "СНФР" were far-left nationalist imperialists based out of Nur-Sultan and Baku. Spin-off centrist parties in Europe loyal to the ideology would also seize power later in the 2190's and 2200's. Other countries considered "outside" of Eurasia were also granted membership in the International State, with Eurasia the dominant power of said International State. The Federal Republic of State Nations would be formally founded on 9 November 2203, becoming a wealthy nation due to its nigh-unanimous monopoly on the asteroid belt with exceptional informal territories on Pallas, Vesta, Hygiea and Interamnia.

Until Korea formally applied and joined in 2211, the "E7" was known as the "Earth Six" or E6, and was established by the Indo-American strategic defense alliance and East Africa in coalition with India as its ally in the Commonwealth of Nations on 20 January 2208. Spearheaded by India, the Earth Committee Trio would expand to include Arabia in 2209, followed by India's allies in the Levant and APTO in 2210. Representing over 5.1 billion, the E7 would become the principle and recognized intergovernmental decision-making body on the planet by nearly all other planet-states with the exception of Jupiter and Saturn by the 2210s.
The relationship between the E7 and Eurasia could be compared to the relationship between NATO and Russia of the early-21st century, with Eurasia and its population of 983 million (excluding Korea) and the E7 being roughly over five times that (NATO was roughly 9 times the size of Russia) forming a "containment policy" with regard to Eurasianist political parties, similar to Communism during the Cold War. Prominent flashpoints would be Britain, New England and South Korea, as syncretic revolutionary anti-nationalists rose to prominence in Seoul society and opposed Korea's membership in the International State, and Canadian nationalism would resurge in the New Englander United Republic. Canada would prove to be the crown jewel of the International State, which was often seen as a binational state between Canada and Eurasia, with Canada at 76 million as the junior partner. Canada was by far the second-largest political unit of the International State, ahead of Korea by 30 million. When it came time to make sacrifices, the International State chose to let go of Korea as "Indo-Americanization" took hold in the country, just as it had in the Asia-Pacific Treaty Organization member-states decades earlier.
==Internationalist–Pacific Cold War (2093–2187)==
Throughout the early-2100's, unmanned drones, war machines and the threat of nuclear annihilation - the International State possessing the most nuclear weapons surpassing the American States (the second-largest) - would prevent widespread conventional warfare as seen in the 20th and early-21st centuries. Although the rate of unmanned warfare would steadily increase with each passing decade, boots-on-the-ground would remain a necessity for controlling and holding territory both on Earth and off-world. By the mid-2100's, relativistic kill missiles prevented planet-states such as the E7 and the Martian Republics from openly waging war with one another, and mass driver frag swarms would keep enemy fleets and ships at bay. Bubble-point defense systems would transform the worlds of the Collective Asteroids Treaty Organization (CATO) - Mars, Luna, Venus and Earth - into indestructible fortresses with nearly unlimited strategic depth, and that's if the Jovians or separatists/AI from beyond Jupiter's Moons were able to get past the hundreds of coil gun asteroid cannons and black hole mines hidden throughout the Asteroid Belt. As a result of the heavy militarization of the Solar System throughout the mid-to-late-2100's, a vast majority of space warfare would be conducted in cislunar space and Earth's Orbit.
Key flashpoints of what for many was known as the "Third Cold War" between the Asia-Pacific or APTO and the International State - or Eurasia and its proxies - included the Korean-Japanese maritime border, the Tajik-Uzbek border and the Pakistani-Afghan border after the 2150s. From 2129 to 2148 the Turkic Union - predecessor of the Eurasian superstate - laid territorial claims to four provinces in Northwestern China, occupied Xinjiang, occupied Yakutia and parts of Siberia, warred with Russia over control of over a dozen republics and provinces in the Volga-Ural region, warred with Greece, Bulgaria and the Western Balkans over territorial claims, and occupied and fought over territories in Syria, Iraq, Iran, the Levant, and Egypt. The Turkic-backed regimes in Hungary and Finland would become embroiled in conflicts with East Europe and Russia in the 2100s, although by the end of the century Eurasianism had emerged in force in France, Germany and Spain. The formerly-United Kingdom would become divided once again, torn between the Internationalist Scots-Irish and London on one side and the British Republic on the other, based in Yorkshire and Manchester. Eurasianist parties would emerge in Ireland, Cyprus, Iceland, Sri Lanka and Cornwall in the early to mid 2100s, although these latter two would be stamped out in brutal civil wars in the 2160s.
===Eurasian–Oceanic Wars===
In what would become the Oceanic Union of Australasia and Melanesia in the 2150's, Australia and New Zealand would become spacefaring military juggernauts by the late-2100s, owing to their special relationship with the United - and later, American - States. Although Eurasia would rise to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful superstates in human history through its mining of the Asteroid Belt and its partnership with Titan, Oceania's military alliance with the Sino-Indo-American triumvirate and Japan along with its own military-industrial complex would allow the Australians to challenge the Eurasians in the region, primarily around Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido. The Aussie-Japanese military alliance acted as a spearhead against the Eurasian Siberians, slowly pushing them out of control of Sakhalin and the Kurils in a series of wars in the 2140s to the 2160s. The American States and Australia would bulwark Japan through trans-orbital deployment of soldiers and supplies to bolster their war effort in the fourth major instance of space warfare. The Eurasians would destroy USS Enterprise killing 56 - 43 enlisted and 13 officers - in the single-greatest loss of life in space up to that point, and in all 250,000 perish - including 4,000 civilians.
====Korean Imperialism====
From the 2090's into the late 2120's, the Korean Union laid territorial claims to parts of Southern Japan, Okinawa and Manchuria, and actually occupied Kyushu during this time. The Japanese fought a series of wars with Korea in the late-2120's to free this region from Korean occupation, yet tensions and territorial claims against Japan would persist into the 2190's. Relations between APTO Japan and Internationalist Korea would accelerate in the 2190's before becoming formally normalized by the late-2200's.
