Age of the Six Powers (19-canon)

The **Age of the Four Powers** is named as such for the four superpowers of Earth during that time: the United States, China, Arabia, and Russia. Its name has changed with the ascension of Mexico and Australia to the **Age of the Six Powers**.

Other "unofficial" superpowers included India, Turkey, and Brazil.

During that time, the more-powerful nations of the world have achieved rapidly-formed technology, allowing them to supply their armed forces more better. Many nations are also starting to recycle their existing resources, making profits from reforging scraps.

## The Rise of Visegrad; the Age of A-Hadd; the Death of Freedom

* Global temperatures become hotter, leading to more lands becoming desert. This leads to more people migrating to richer countries in the West and other parts of Africa to avoid being killed by heatwaves.
* The countries of western Africa and the Sahara form federations to pool their resources as they lose more people and land to the heatwaves.
* Prompted by worsening conditions in the deserts, the nations of the Middle East unite into the Arabian Empire. The only Arab countries to remain independent were Egypt, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
* The Second Confederacy becomes less violent as the fascistic rulers are overthrown: while the American Federation attempts to open relations with it, it is still shunned by the United States for its predecessor's legacy.
* The non-Native parts of the Southwest secede and are annexed into the Republic of Mexico -- the American Federation and the Second Confederacy attempt to bring these states back into their control, but with little success.
* 2100s - Some nations rely on robots to fight their enemies, while other countries begin to clone humans to replace soldiers lost in wars. The nationalistic realms in Europe and the Middle East still rely on sexual reproduction, which takes longer to produce more soldiers to wage their wars.
	+ Although the Europeans, Middle Easterners, and Africans produced cloned armies, they did so only to avoid the risk of being overrun by their opponents' or neighbours' armies. Another reason why they restricted human cloning was to avoid losing clone facilities to local militants, who would use their clone armies to wage genocide against their opponents.
	+ Occasionally, some militant groups in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa captured clone farms to rapidly build armies. These groups tended to massacre anyone who got into their way, drawing more powerful states from waging war against their targets.
	+ Alarmed by the growing militarisation across the world, the United States goes into a defensive state, focusing instead either on spreading socialism via literature and activists, annexing the American Federation, or ending poverty. There are growing calls by many citizens to abolish the military and replace it with a "revolutionary/workers' self-defence force", but when these are not answered, activists formed their own militias in case of Russian, Nordic, or Feddian invasion. Occasionally, militants would escape the Ussian authorities to wage war on other governments to establish their own Marxist regimes or simply find adventure and violence abroad.
	+ On the other hand, the American Federation sends its troops abroad to support its allies or establish puppet regimes. It also had its own militants who tried to set up fascist and right-wing regimes abroad.
* 2111 - Israel becomes into a military dictatorship under the rule of a fanatical general. His punitive actions against the local Arabs and Christians led to revolts, which were followed by clashes between the American Federation and Russia against Arabia and its allies. Due to sheer numbers and their opponents' war fatigue, the Arabs and Palestinians prevail and set up an Islamic republic in Palestine, leading to celebrations throughout the Muslim world and parts of Europe.
* 2111 - The Dome of the Rock is reconsecrated under the new Palestinian government.
* 2113 - Avoiding the possibility of losing their freedoms under a strict Muslim government, many Jews flee to Europe and America, while others form guerilla enclaves against the Palestinian state under the New Irgun army. Some accounts mention that thousands of Jews were also killed in revenge attacks. A few of these enclaves retained the democracy and freedoms of the earlier Israeli state, housing dissidents who fled from the militaristic Arab realms around them.
	+ In Arab accounts, the Palestinian government did not kill thousands of Jews. It permitted them, the local Christians and Samaritans, and atheists to continue practicing their beliefs. It was considered one of a few Muslim Arab countries in that time to tolerate atheists (mostly of Jewish, European, and African descent) as a legal minority, aside from Oman and the Emirates, so long as they did not attack Islam; mainly because atheists formed a portion of Israel's population before its collapse.
* 2113-2125 - The Israeli resistance, also known as the New Irgun, defends several towns from Palestinian and Arab attacks. As they lose more towns to the Palestinians, they control Negev and build it to protect Jews, Christians, Samaritans, and atheists from mob attacks. The American Federation, India, and some Visegradian countries defend Negev from Palestinian attacks.
* 2113 - The American Federation, the future members of the Visegrad League, and Russia attempt an embargo on Arabia and its allies, but it fails.
* 2113 - The Palestinian republic is supported and funded by the Arabian Empire, but its government is divided between two factions. The Diplomats wanted to modernise Palestine by permitting non-Muslims to keep their rights, while the Integrationists wanted to outlaw and punish other religions to bring Palestine closer to Arabia.
* 2123-2142 - Under High King Ivar Hefnablod, the Nordic State unleashes armies of clones to conquer more lands. While many of their invasions were defeated, some of the clones retained fortresses with the help of local extremists who wanted to use them to take over local governments, including nationalist regimes that they considered unsatisfactory.
	+ In one particular incident, Nordic troops dug out the graves of Adolf Hitler and his officials, and tore up their skeletons as a sacrifice to Odin.
	+ After the Nordic clones attack Palestine, several Catholic militants capture a seaport at the western coast to establish a crusader state under Operation Deus Vult. The war on Palestine is also known as the Tenth Crusade, the Eleventh Crusade (if counting the War on Terror), or the Little Crusade. It is joined by more militants from Europe and America who raid and their way inland, slaughtering the locals as revenge for terrorist attacks on Europe. The crusaders are then repelled by the Palestinian Army and its Arabian and Egyptian allies under Operation Saladin until all that was left of them was a small patch of land surrounding Joppa.
* 2157-2173 - Azania, Volksland, and KwaZulu work together to fight the Nordic and African clone raiders that attacked their countries and slaughtered their people.
* 2200s - The Visegrad League of central Europe secedes from the European Union's attempts to impose socialistic policies upon their societies. It refuses attempts by the Nordic State or Russia to annex them. The Visegradian governments continue the nationalistic policies of their predecessors from the Purge of Europe.
	+ Some states focused more on building armies (the "Fortresses"), while other states focused on traditions and heterosexual families (the "Nests"). Any attempts by any member state to "mobilise" the "Nests" towards a campaign of war is met with heavy resistance; and many member states disliked and shunned Whites who had mixed ancestry.
	+ These states also had to fight rogue clone armies. The clone militants either attacked Visegrad and committed terrorism to punish their people for not being fascist/racialist enough, or raided the European Union and other continents to slaughter non-Whites.
	+ In response to the Visegrad League's militarisation, the European Union becomes a socialist bloc. Unlike the Warsaw Pact of old, it was more like a federation that housed various dissidents. Some of its people strongly disliked tradition in general for fuelling the Visegradians' zealotry.
	+ At the same time, some African states were overthrown by local fascist regimes. Some of these regimes used fascism to force their own people to quickly become powerful, while others sought to subjugate their neighbours or non-Africans.
	+ Several thousands of clones were left alone to rule their own enclaves in southern Visegrad, as the Visegradians were unable to deport or exterminate them. These enclaves became the only nation within Visegrad with a pagan majority.
	+ Visegrad supported the crusader city of Joppa, fortifying it to repel a Palestinian crusade-siege of the city. In return, the Joppans served Visegrad as bodyguards and drill sergeants.
* 2220s - A chemical is developed in Iraq that enhances mental power at the expense of the drinker's sexual desires, known as the A-Hadd ("S-Harp"). It is then distributed to various conservative countries: some sell it to students and scientists, while others make it mandatory to consume the drink. Certain countries, governments, and groups denounced the drink's existence as "evil", either because it eliminates the drinker's sexual desire while enhances their intelligence, or because it is used by various governments to reduce their peoples into obedient slaves.
	+ While shipments of the A-Hadd were transported to the American Federation, United States ships attempted to block the ships from reaching the American South, leading to clashes along the east coast.
	+ The A-Hadd chemical is used by governments and religious leaders in the Middle East, and parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia to force their people into unquestioning obedience -- in some countries, its people were not so different from the cloned soldiers that they fought alongside. They also used it to eliminate non-heterosexuality by forcibly changing people into heterosexuals. It also led to the erosion of human rights and innovation, in spite of slower technological growth and scientific advancement.
	+ Some people referred the FTL Age as the "Second/Third Dark Age", due to the influence of the A-Hadd chemical resulting in lesser dissent and freedoms being abolished.

* Encouraged by the loss of civil freedoms in their countries (which they considered as "nations freeing themselves from Western hegemony"), various nationalists and extremists in Asia, Europe, and parts of Africa formed the "Anti-Democracy Movement". Whenever Westerners condemned any harsh actions by dictatorships, these keyboard warriors would cheer the dictators on, calling for *more* brutality to taunt the Westerners and glorifying their respective regimes.
	+ Some AntiDemovs even called for invading North America and setting up regimes to force the people to follow traditionalist and militarist mentalities, to punish Westerners for imperialism and the War on Terror.
	+ Four things that prevented the AntiDemovs from launching a full-scale invasion of the West are: fascists in the movement causing a poor reputation, existing governments considering their calls for war against the West to be "too excessive", terrorist attacks by both its members and opponents, and lack of resources. Eventually, even some of the governments whom they supported and worshipped punished and suppressed them too!
	+ The AntiDemovs face four enemies, aside from the hated civilisations of the "imperialistic West":
		- The Khamilad Order, led by a warlord in Afghanistan who wages war against China, India, and the Arabian Empire. Their officers' belief that "our cruelty brings us closer to God" angers the armies of the Arabian Empire.
		- A fascist organisation that plagues Visegrad with terrorist attacks
		- Communist militias, encouraged by the chaos caused by the AntiDemov terrorists and clone armies to overthrow governments and establish Marxist regimes similar to Cuba and Vietnam. Many of them were supported by the leaders of the United States and (to some extent) China.
		- Clone armies left behind by the Nordic State and defeated warlords
	+ The AntiDemovs also became unpopular among their own nationalists and the poor of their own countries due to their academic background and their habit of celebrating starvation and poverty as rightful means to keep their dictators in power.
* The Khamilad Order launches terrorist attacks against various countries in Asia, either to frighten the locals into submission, punish them for supporting China and the West, or simply to throw a specific region into chaos to establish a new headquarters.
* Appalled by the brutality of the Khamilad Order and threatened by their insurgent armies right next to the borders to Arabia and Iran, the forces of the Arabian Empire intervene in Afghanistan to restore order. The members of the Khamilad Order retreat to various hidden places all over Asia, where they recruit poorer people and harass various countries, but are then eventually defeated.

### FTL Age; The Martian Exile; Secession of Mars; The Birth of Gotaland

* 2234 - FTL (faster than light) travel is discovered, leading to easier access between Earth and its colonies on the Moon. The richest companies in the world begin relocating to the Moon to build factories manned by robots under several technicians.
* 2245 - The Global Court succeeds the United Nations as a peacekeeping force, its authority looming over those of its member states. The Nordic Union rejects the GC's invitations, followed by the Visegradians, the Russians, and dozens of countries in Africa and South America, and a few more in Asia -- they sacrificed the chance to become wealthy to maintain their independence, forming the Free Peoples of the World.
* 2246 - The richest companies on Earth and the Global Court's escorts begin mining asteroids. Years later, the resulting stream of raw materials and metal cause sharp inequality between the Powers and their allies, against the rest of the world. The other countries form the Third Non-Aligned League, the Antipode Alliance, and the Samudravarman Alliance (3NAL, AA, SamAl). Australia forms the AA, and India builds the SamAl.
	+ Rapidly-replicating machines were developed, triggering a new age of space colonisation, militarisation, escalation, and attempts in attaining Galactic supremacy.
* 2247 - Europe is torn into four: the European Union, the Visegrad League, the Nordic State, and the Slavic League. Switzerland, Finland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and Iceland create an alliance to keep the four powers' influence out.
* 2248-2270 - The other three alliances send their spacecraft to mine asteroids. Although their ships get raided by the Four Powers, they manage to return the raw materials to Earth, allowing the other nations to catch up with the Powers.
* 2250 - The first Martian colony, Igualdad, was established by a US party, and was lauded by its Latin American allies for its "diversity". The following decades involved the construction of rival colonies by its rivals in America (especially the American Federation) and the rest of Earth.
	+ The first church on Mars is built and consecrated by the first of the AF colonies, New Jefferson.
* 2251-2279 - Many colonies were set up along the eastern surface of Mars to curb Earth's overpopulation problem, sparking the Deportation Wars. The governments win against the armies of poorer people, sending thousands of impoverished Earthlings to the domed cities of Mars.
	+ More refugees flee to central Africa, where they are given jobs and a decent income. However, this also sparks more clashes between locals and the foreigners.
	+ Some hundreds of refugees instead go to several newly-built islands to the southwest of Indonesia: many of them are impoverished Muslims invited by the Indonesian, Malaysian, Maldivian, and Bangladeshi governments to settle at the artificial islands.
	+ The Maldives and Bangladesh build artificial islands to solve overpopulation, surrounding the islands with coral reefs and filling them with jungles.
* 2281 - The first ships are able to withstand the heat of the heliopause.
* 2303 - First colonies on Alpha Centauri B built by New Arkola and its allies from Russia. To the disappointment and rage of their Russian homeland, these colonies are dedicated to Svarog.
* 24th century - The first cloned humans are sent in several waves: Americans and Nordics to the western Milky Way; and the Arabs, Chinese, and Russians settle at the eastern Milky Way. Another wave consists of Martian colonists who fan out to the Galactic centre. Some humans use their own ships to escape their countries' governments to form their own pirate colonies and fleets.
	+ A serum, the Ostrii (острый), was developed by a Polarian colonist to help her fellow colonists focus better. Like the A-Hadd chemical, it enhanced intelligence and eliminated sexual urges; but it also enhanced creativity and allowed non-heterosexuals to preserve their orientations.
* 2556, 2559 - With resources gained from mining asteroids, Mexico and Australia join the Four Powers. However, they wage war against the Global Court and its relocations to Mars.
* With Danish and Visegradian help, the Kingdom of Götaland (in southern Sweden) secedes from the Nordic State. It refuses to join the bureaucracy-bound EU. Visegrad refused to annex Gotaland, as its people were disgusted by its pagan majority and angered by their refusal to accept Catholic missionaries.
* 2562 - Angered by the Global Court's mass deportations, Mars' colonies unite into two powerful states: the Martian Federation in the north, and the League-Republic of Olympus Mons in the south.
* The growing native republics of America combine into the Republic of Turtle Island, also in response to the mass deportations of 2562. Turtle Island opens relations with the United States, which recognises its independence.

### Later years; Volandr's Game; Akhand Bharat

* 2573 - Yfir-Jarl Osbrand, ruler of the Nordic State, gives his general Volandr a colony at the western Milky Way, which the latter builds with his wife and 800 other settlers. For 10 years Volandr builds an army of clones to colonise the Milky Way.
	+ Volandr's goal was to create an army, not only to stop the Four Powers and the Nordic State from becoming too powerful by colonising the Milky Way; but also to punish them and end their global conflict.
	+ He indoctrinated his clones with samples from the worst of Earth's history, from atrocities to comments by politicians and Internet users, to make them hate Earth and its people more.
* 2583 - Yfir-Jarl Egilnar launches a fleet of 10,000 battleships to invade Volandr's colony. His fleet wins the battle and kill Volandr, but are reduced to only 100 ships.
* 2600s-2610s - The S'barrin campaign is waged by the Global Court against Volandr's clones, in an attempt to exterminate them. It ends in a massive defeat.
* 2620s - Threatened by war against the regimes of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the governments of China and India build energy shields to protect their own peoples from invasion and bombardment.
* 2629-2634 - Stuart Lisson and his militants overthrow the government of the United States to impose a Stalinist dictatorship. His harsh laws and militarisation triggered a civil war between his regime and the Marxist militants, and several states seceded to form the Native American republic of Turtle Island. Five Marxist militias defeated his regime and killed him in battle, but they afterwards made a reformist version of Marxism as the national ideology of the United States.
* 2630 - Angered and horrified by Stuart Lisson's communist regime, hundreds of militants overthrow the American Federation's government to impose a Racialist dictatorship. Their dictator Alwaitch Lirdan sent terrorists to attack Palestine and the Middle East.
* 2630s-2650s - In response to the Racialist dictatorship's hostility against Jews, many Evangelicals and Libertines help the local Jews emigrate to Negev. Negev becomes a half-Americanised nation, where the government is torn between Jewish nationalists and American Christians.
* 2639 - In Georgia, a young pastor, Albert Hendwors, promoted his own movement, the Sincereist movement. The Sincereists were a charity organisation focused on helping the poor and protecting the marginalised, as they claimed that doing so honours their God, Jesus, more than expensive churches and affluent pastors. This movement had to fight the authorities because its members protected Jews, non-Whites, and people accused of "race treason", and it was supported by some Libertine towns.
	+ Similar movements emerged in the other powers: the Nuredist Marxists (Democratic Marxists) in the US, Ikhlasiyya in the Arabian Empire, Dmitrins (Christian) and Vladorists (Rodnover) in Russia, and several movements based on Confucianism or socialism in China.
* 2642 - Alwaitch is overthrown by another group of militants, led by the scientist James Elthid. He enacts policies to turn the Feddians into a superhuman race using eugenicist beliefs.
* 2644 - Albert Hendwors was captured by the Feddian army, and killed in a broadcast execution where he is lynched and hanged. Days later, the enraged Libertine enclaves waged war against the Feddian government, killing some of the troops who lynched Albert.
* 2645 - James is overthrown by his officials. The new president, Volsk Hirtch, bans the Racialist faction from his country.
* 2647 - Several states are taken over by a combined alliance of Sincereists and Libertines, who restore democracy and civil freedoms to the people.
* 2650 - Colonies were built along the asteroid belt and the atmospheres and moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
* 2657 - The monsters of Europa were captured by some scientists, or killed and harvested for resources by some corporations.
* 2645-2671 - Pakistan suffers from civil war and is taken over by the Khand clique, who forms a military junta and creates a personality cult around its dictator. The Khand generalissimo requests the Arabian dictator to annex his country, so his country would be quickly built with Arabian funds.
* 2665-2670 - India also suffers under a civil war. Many warlords from within India and from other nations take advantage of the chaos to establish their brutal regimes. Generalissimo Abadi Khand sends his soldiers to attack India, but they are repelled by the forces of President Pradyuta.
* late 27th century - Unification of India - India is reorganised into the Hindu Republic of Akhand Bharat, as it also suffers from warlords that attempted to create their own empires in India. Angered by the Indian government imposing Hinduism as the state religion, the Pakistani junta attacks India to "rescue" its Muslim residents from attacks by Indian warlords and annex it, but is repelled. The Bharatian government also fights against other warlords who sought to overthrow it.
	+ The government of Akhand Bharat also made laws to prevent their country from becoming like the Khand clique's regime. Its leaders also refuse diplomatic relations with the West and Arabia, condemning them in media broadcasts over historical crimes.
	+ A mass exodus ensues as many Muslims, Christians, and atheists flee India out of dislike for its nationalist government and the warlords who persecute them.
	+ Some militants in Europe and America go to India to fight alongside the Bharatian army, seeking to establish a Hindu republic to challenge the dominance of Abrahamic religions and Western hegemony. As some of them were caught persecuting monotheists and atheists, the Bharatian government expels some of them.
	+ Many Christians, Muslims, and atheists fought under the Bharatian army, as they hoped that the first president would protect them in exchange for their service. Those that stayed in India are later known as "Bramiki", or "Abrahamics", and are treated as second-class citizens.
* 2671-2701 - The Paravritti Era, when President Pradyuta ruled Akhand Bharat. Under his stern rule, India is able to quickly recover from the civil war due to funds gained from asteroid mining.
	+ Although the Bramiki are no longer allowed to proselytise, they are given freedom of religion. The government also protects them from mobs that sought to exterminate them.
	+ India was isolated from the West for thirty years, as President Pradyuta hated the West and Arabia for their actions against the Indian people.
	+ Russia, Visegrad, and the American Federation offer their support to Akhand Bharat. Visegrad and the AF later reject Akhand Bharat as they were angry that its leader condemned Christianity, and so the Nordic State invites Akhand Bharat to be an ally.
* 2672-2675 - After the Khand clique is defeated by its own officials, Akhand Bharat sends aid to the impoverished Pakistanis. This sparks riots in some parts of India.
* 2700s - India reestablishes relations with the West and Arabia.
* 2708 - Akhand Bharat becomes a monarchy.
* 2730 - The Sorry Incident - The Sorry Committee, an activist group in China, sends money to the Maharaja of Akhand Bharat and thousands of other people in India and the West. Its members are condemned by nationalists, who accused them of "treason to India" and "buying Western lies" that blamed China for various disasters, including the Plague of 2020. To avoid arrest, some of the Sorry members fled to Akhand Bharat, where they are protected or attacked by local politicians.
* 2730-2760 - The Maharaja of Akhand Bharat offers diplomatic relations with China, but the Chinese government angrily rejects his offer and demands the return of the Sorry Committee's payments. Advised by his supporters, the Maharaja rejects the Chinese's demands, and no relations between the two nations existed for thirty years. Online, the Bharatians made fun of the Chinese being angry over the "lost" wealth being "returned" to India.
* 2760 - The Maharaja makes several payments to the Chinese government, and is then impeached and replaced by his son. China reestablishes relations with a grudgeful Akhand Bharat, but the Bharatians avoid all Chinese businesses to force the Chinese to follow the Bharatians' terms.
* 2769 - The second Maharaja is overthrown, and the Second Republic of Akhand Bharat is established.
* 2771-2774 - Yandabo War - Myanmar is ruled by a dictator who seeks to annex the eastern lands of India and Bangladesh to his Buddhist empire, as his challenge to rival the Hindu Rashtra. He wages war against the two countries to seize control of the lands, claiming that he did so to "reclaim what the British stole from Myanmar"; and he occasionally raided Thailand. After his death in battle, his son became Dharmaraja (Emperor) of Myanmar until he was overthrown by a general, who became the next emperor.
	+ The second Dharmaraja of Myanmar made his society less militaristic. Unlike his preceding dictator, he tried to make peace with the local tribes, both in Myanmar and Assam.
* 2790s-2800s - The President of Akhand Bharat attempts to make peace between the new Dharmaraja of Myanmar, ending the Yandabo War. Myanmar keeps much of the lands it conquered from India and Bangladesh as a bulwark against Chinese advances and to build new highways.
* Growing tensions between the American states culminate into the Third American Civil War. The United States wins and takes over more of the American Federation's territory, leading to more people fleeing into Europe and Russia.
