Alternate Future of the World - Season 1

AFOTW - Season 1, which was originally supposed to be made by Scotocanadian, is the season of the main AFOTW series in the Greater Universe canon, currently with four episodes and a fifth in progress. It takes place on Earth 0001, and features Greater Austria's arrival there and their strengthening.

Despite originally being created and uploaded to Scotocanadian's channel, he lost interest in it pretty quickly. Scotocanadian would later rename to Arcturus, but would later have to close his channel in June due to the relentless efforts of an anti-mapper troll, T-Series Mapping, which included attempting to dislike-bot and/or strike his videos. When summer 2019 began, Scotocanadian finally decided to return to his old series, but in order to avoid T-Series Mapping, he decided to upload it to "Alpine Mapping" which was now a joint channel between him and British Columbian Mapping. From there, he finished the fourth episode and plans to make more.

## Episode One

Episode One, which was called "Arrival" was about three minutes long, as it was only an introduction to the series. A few different events happened. Importantly, Ukraine collapsed into civil war as Novorossiya fought for independence. Nationalists rose up and took over most of Ukraine. Novorossiya gained independence while the rest of Ukraine became a nationalist country called Ruthenia. Also, a nationalist won the Romanian elections, which would be important later. Several countries also left NATO. Most importantly, of course, in 2020, Greater Austria landed on Earth 0001, and took over the land of normal Austria after they collapsed after a coup, organized by Greater Austria.

## Episode Two

Episode Two, referred to as "Looming Shadow" featured some more important events. Among other events, the Assad regime won the Syrian Civil War. Turkey blamed it on the USA, who had retracted troops from the region two years earlier, and Turkey left NATO. Libya collapsed, and countries like Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Chad took some land. Egypt suggested making the rest an Arab League occupation zone, but mysteriously, before they could, the rest of the land was claimed by Greater Austria themselves. Some countries in Africa united (East African Federation united, and Algeria and Tunisia became the Berber Union).

Greece's government collapsed and was replaced by the ultranationalist Greek Imperial State, which also proceeded to invade Macedonia. Hungary declared war on Romania then, to take Transylvania, but Greater Austria saw an opportunity to expand and helped Romania against Hungary. They won and split the land. Romania became ultranationalist and changed to the Dacian State, then created the Vienna Pact with Greater Austria. Ruthenia and the Greek Imperial State also decided to join. Even more interesting, it is revealed in the end credits that Greater Austria made a deal with the US Republican Party, for them to have the USA disband NATO in exchange for something unknown on Greater Austria's side. That is still unknown. Joe Biden also won the 2020 elections, but the USA disbanded NATO before the inauguration.

## Episode Three

At the beginning of episode three, the last one uploaded to Scotocanadian's channel, we see Democratic Kingdom of Austria (DKA) and Syndicalist Hungary aboard a spacecraft situated right outside of Earth 0001. DKA mentions that their "rival" (later it is made obvious he was referring to Greater Austria) is already there. Syndicalist Hungary says he'll influence some nations, and DKA comments that it's up to the two of them to save the other nations.

Then we see the events that occur in the actual episode. Seeing a window of opportunity after the disbanding of NATO, Greater Austria immediately expands, invading Croatia and Slovenia. Dalmatia is puppeted, the rest is annexed. France goes through a government reform and becomes a constitutional monarchy with Louis XX taking the place of a figurehead king. The Baltics consider themselves vulnerable to Russia now that NATO is gone, so they unite into the Baltic Commonwealth. Rebels in Venezuela then rise up against (presumably) Nicolas Maduro and his government, the latter of which is winning the civil war at first, until syndicalist rebels present themselves in the west and work with the democratic rebels to take down the government.

A syndicalist state in the west, known as Syndicalist Zulia, is established while the other rebels establish the Venezuelan Republic. Angola's government collapses, and is replaced with a syndicalist state. The audience is left to assume Syndicalist Hungary was behind this. Angola and Zulia form an alliance called "The Syndicate". While most nations think this is normal, or as normal as it can be, Greater Austria knows that it must be Syndicalist Hungary. They invite Dacia to Vienna, where they have a chat that reveals many things about the lore:

Right off the bat Greater Austria explains to Dacia that he's from another dimension, and that in fact, he is twice as strong as the top 5 strongest nations in Earth 0001. Then he mentions that he has a rivalry with Syndicalist Hungary, who is also mentioned to be from his dimension. However, he says nothing about DKA. He explains to Dacia that Zulia and Angola are secretly controlled by the Hungarians. The last thing Greater Austria tells to Dacia is that he has a weapon that can transport a city to a dimension without matter, which essentially deletes the city. The weapon is good for capitulating opponents, although it can't be used often and needs time to recharge. The meeting then ends.

After that, democrats rise up in Saudi Arabia, the latter of which is overthrown and replaced with the Arabian Republic. It's revealed that the USA supported them. Cuba and Indochina join the Syndicate because they're commie buddies, although they don't know that the Hungarians secretly control the alliance. Greater Austria decides to expand again but not directly. He instigates a coup in Poland which leads to the formation of Greater Poland, who joins the Vienna Pact. Ireland buys Northern Ireland from the UK, but then subsequently is overthrown in another coup, becoming the Irish State, also in the Vienna Pact. Scotland then requests independence from the UK, who agrees but with certain conditions.

The Vienna Pact, excluding the GIS (Greek Imperial State) invade Czechia and Slovakia, who are then partitioned. Then, Greater Austria puts into motion Operation: Iron Cross, and funds pro-Vienna Pact rebels in Germany. Germany denies help from France, thinking he can win, but sadly the rebels beat him. Greater Austria annexes a bit of land in Bavaria while the rest of Germany becomes Greater Germany, which then joins the Vienna Pact. France is greatly distraught at the death of Germany, and he and the UK agree to make an alliance called the European Defense League (EDL). The Benelux countries, Iberian countries, Italy, and Scotland all join.

Russia is intrigued by the new European cold war but decides to stay out of it. They then do the same thing France does and become a constitutional monarchy known as the Russian Federal Tsardom. After that, Russia invites some new nations to CSTO. Serbian rebels in Bosnia then rise up, and Serbia helps them. This starts a massive war in the Balkans that the Vienna Pact then exploits by declaring war on all of them. All the Balkans then side with each other to defeat the Vienna Pact, but it's futile, as they still lose, and are partitioned by the Vienna Pact. (Dalmatia was now directly incorporated into Greater Austria). Turkey was also in this war and got defeated by the Vienna Pact.

Greater Austria then convinces Morocco to join the Vienna Pact (they'd previously lost a war against Western Sahara and Algeria). This prompts the Berber Union to join the EDL. Western Sahara, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger then unite to form the Saharan Federation, which also joins the EDL, which is then renamed to the Afro-European Defense League. Then, a bunch more countries in Africa unite for safety purposes. Peru and Bolivia also unite but are immediately overthrown in a pro-Vienna Pact coup, establishing the Andine State, which is now in the Vienna Pact. The Andine State promptly declares war on Ecuador, Chile and Paraguay, the former one being annexed and the latter two losing land after the war ends. Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay form La Plata, who then joins the EDL (which renames again to the Global Defense League, or GDL).

Then, the next elections happen in the USA. Biden just barely wins, but suddenly the radical Republicans rise up. The episode ends, leaving the audience on a cliff hanger.

## Episode Four

Episode Four is the first episode uploaded to Alpine Mapping instead of Scotocanadian.

Long story short, the Republicans, supplied by Greater Austria win the civil war, with help of various rebel groups. Canada, who helped the US (Biden's) government, is also defeated. Most of the USA is replaced with the Free American Empire, an ally of Greater Austria, although a bit remains under control of the old regime. Several countries in both Canada and the US gain independence as well. Canada joins the GDL after this disaster, but what's left of the old US government (the East American Republic) is too depressed to join.

Mexico is overthrown in a coup and becomes Greater Mexico, a Vienna Pact member. Guatemala is concerned and expands themselves, annexing Belize and El Salvador. China abandons communism and becomes democratic, but Taiwan is angry that China has attempted to imitate their ideology. But as Taiwan is complaining, he's interrupted by Japan, who suddenly adapts imperial fascism, and renames to the Neo-Japanese Empire. He goes on a bit of a monologue, and then reveals he has spies in Taiwan that will take out the government and allow Japan to annex the island. Taiwan is dead before he can react, and Japan takes the island.

In the epilogue of this episode, the UN disbands due to not being able to handle the current state of the world. This means that international law is gone, and the world will soon be a free for all.

More episodes will come soon.
