Arabic

**Arabic** is the language of the Quran and one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

**Arabic** is an official language in both United Islamic Republic and the North African Caliphate as well as Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Somali Federation. The emergence of the two self-proclaimed caliphates as world powers has increased the status of **Arabic** as a global language of diplomacy, business, finance, education and aviation.
Black Sea

The **Black Sea** is a sea located between Europe and the Asian region of Anatolia.

Russia considers the **Black Sea** its MARE NOSTRUM although neighboring Turkey also maintains a presence in the region. Both Russia and Turkey discovered offshore natural gas deposits in the **Black Sea** in the early 2020s leading to a surge of drilling. Russian state gas monopoly Gazprom was active drilling in the **Black Sea** region.
Eurasian Missile Defense Grid

In July 2031, China, Korea and Russia announced they would use AI to coordinate the construction and operation of a system of land and sea based lasers and railguns to intercept and destroy incoming enemy short, medium and long range missiles in flight. The system would also include space based military satellites capable of destroying ICBMs by firing lasers from orbit. The last part of system would require coordination between the various space agencies of the Shanghai Pact. AI would be able to destroy hyper-velocity missiles with pinpoint accuracy that could never be matched by humans. The participation of the United Islamic Republic in the Eurasian Missile Defense Grid or EMDG for short was limited due to the inferior technological capabilities of that nation and tensions with the other Shanghai Pact members over their commitment to gradually ending the use of fossil fuels by 2050 or 2060 in favor of green energy. China, Russia and Korea even feared they may one day need to use The Eurasian Missile Defense Grid to defend against a missile attack by the UIR. India and some of the nations of ASEAN expressed interest participating in the Eurasian Missile Defense Grid due to fears of a potential missile attack by the United Islamic Republic or the Caliphate.

The United States announced a similar system around roughly the same time that would initially cover itself and Canada.

Critics warned that the proliferation of anti-ballistic missile defense technology could end the threat of mutually assured destruction that had prevented the world's major powers from fighting each other directly in a conventional war since the mid-20th century.
Androids

**Androids** are bipedal robots with humanoid features.

## History

Japan built the first **android** in 2025. The United States built the first military **androids** the same year, followed shortly thereafter by Russia and China who built **android** soldiers of their own.

Developed primarily for military use in the 2020s and early 2030s, **androids** spread to the consumer realm in the 2030s, 2040s and 2050s. By the middle of the 21st century, many **androids** had exteriors that made them indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
Angola Crisis

The **Angola Crisis** was a stand-off between the United States and the People's Republic of China over the nation of Angola in southern Africa in 2020.

## History

On 28 July 2020, the President of Angola was assassinated by an anti-China protester leading to a power vacuum which both the Vice President and the military tried to fill. Fearing a civil war might spark in Angola and threaten PetroChina assets in Angola the People’s Liberation Army Navy prepared to deploy a fleet to Angola to intervene. US President Elizabeth Warren pledged support to the pro-Western military to remove Angola from China’s control. Tensions escalated between Beijing and Washington until eventually the Angolan military put General Geraldo Nunda in charge of the country, establishing a quasi-military dictatorship. The US claimed a victory over the Shanghai Pact.
Electromagnetic Catapult

**Electromagnetic catapults** are a type of aircraft launching system succeeding the steam catapult. Electromagnetic catapults place less stress on the aircraft and offer more control during the launch by allowing gradual and continual acceleration. Electromagnetic catapults are also require significantly less maintenance through the use of solid state components. On gas-turbine powered ships, an electromagnetic catapult eliminated the need for a separate steam boiler for generating catapult steam.

Electromagnetic catapults first appeared on the USN's *Gerald R. Ford*-class aircraft carriers.
Laser Weapons

**Laser Weapons** are energy weapons that use concentrated beams of electromagnetic energy to destroy enemy targets such as aircraft, missiles and drones.

## History

The U.S. Navy began combat testing laser weapons mounted on naval vessels in the 2010s. A United States naval vessel used a laser to destroy a suicide drone fired by the Taliban at the vessel off the coast of Karachi in September 2016 marking the first use of lasers in combat. The first combat lasers were invisible to the human eye and targeted the fuselage of an enemy vehicle causing it to explode.

Israel deployed its Iron Beam laser system on land as a form of anti-air defense around the same period.

By 2020, Russia and China also had military lasers while both these nations, the United Stated and several other militaries were developing a variety of lasers for use on land vehicles, naval vessels and aircraft. Lasers were also an integral part of missile defense systems under development in many nations.

Russia placed lasers on its Arnata tanks in the 2020s. The United States developed lasers for use by the M1A3 tanks during the same period.

By the 2030s, many leading military powers began researching and developing lasers for use by infantry and android soldiers.
Bohai Economic Rim

The **Bohai Economic Rim** is an important economic area in northern China located around the rim of the Bohai Sea.

HSR, especially maglev trains, and numerous other infrastructure projects such as the Bohai Tunnel helped turn the massive region into a cohesive economic unit by the early to mid 2030s. It included the mega cities of Beijing and Tianjin and had an overall population of over 300 million people. It had one of the highest standards of living in China and the world by the 2030s, propelling China's transition towards a high tech, consumer driven economy.
Aden

**Aden** is a strategic port city in Yemen overlooking the strait between the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

The Shia Houthis seized **Aden** in July 2025 shortly before their formal annexation into the United Islamic Republic in 2025 during the Third Persian Gulf War.

**Aden** became an important UIR naval base after the war controlling passage to the Indian Ocean.
New York

**New York** is the largest city in the United States and the financial capital of the nation.

Along with London, **New York** and Wall Street in particular held the status of being the world's financial capitals after World War II. However, New York permanently lost its status as the world's leading financial and banking center to Shanghai by 2030, due to China's emergence as an advanced economy during the 2020s.
Kunming-Kolkata HSR Line

The **Kunming-Kolkata HSR Line** is a HSR line China completed through Myanmar in 2026 linking itself to India. The **Kunming-Kolkata HSR Line** formed a part of the larger Pan-Asian High Speed Rail System.

The **Kunming-Kolkata HSR Line** not only increased bilateral trade and investment between China and India but also led to both Asian giants investing in underdeveloped northern Myanmar.
Elements

It is thought that witches are able to influence, summon or control the basic elements in nature, such as earth, air, fire, water and the weather.

Armenia

**Armenia**, officially the **Republic of Armenia**, was a mountainous country in the Southern Caucasus region of Eurasia. It shared land borders with Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran.

## History

### Post-Soviet Independence

On 23 August 1990, Armenia declared independence, becoming the first non-Baltic republic to secede from the Soviet Union. When, in 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved, Armenia's independence was officially recognized. Levon Ter-Petrosyan was popularly elected the first President of the newly independent Republic of Armenia on 16 October 1991. He had risen to prominence by leading the Karabakh movement for the unification of the Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh. Ter-Petrosyan led the country alongside Defense Minister Vazgen Sargsyan through the Nagorno-Karabakh War with neighboring Azerbaijan. The Karabakh war ended after a Russian-brokered cease-fire was put in place in 1994. The war was a success for the Karabakh Armenian forces who managed to capture 16% of Azerbaijan's internationally recognised territory including Nagorno-Karabakh itself.
New Silk Road Project

The **New Silk Road Project** was a project initiated by the People's Republic of China in the first half of the 21st century to construct a series of highways, high speed rail lines, bridges, tunnels, canals, ports and airports linking the entire Eurasian land mass through land and sea corridors for travel and trade.

Beijing intended for this vast trade network to make China the center of the global economy, a status Chinese dynasties had previously associated with themselves. While it did not make China the center of the global economy in the literal sense, the **New Silk Road Project** greatly increased Beijing's wealth, power and influence to the point that China rivaled the United States as a world power by 2030.

G-30

**Group of Thirty**

The Group of Thirty is an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 30 major economies. Originally the G20, it was expanded in 2019 to account for ten of the world’s newest rising economies after the Great Recession. The G30 contains 29 individual states and the European Union which is represented by the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

## History

The G-30 is the successor to the G20, which was part of a series of post-World War II initiatives aimed at international coordination of economic policy, which include institutions such as the "Bretton Woods twins", the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and what is now the World Trade Organization. The inaugural meeting of the G30 was in Delhi, India on 20-21 June 2019. Though the G-20's primary focus is global economic governance, the themes of its summits vary from year to year. For example, in 2019, the theme was "Rising Economies". The issues discussed were the inclusion of the rising economies into the G20, leading to the creation of the summit. Despite lacking any formal ability to enforce rules, the G-20's prominent membership gives it a strong input on global policy. However, there remain disputes over the legitimacy of the G-20, and criticisms of its organisation and the efficacy of its declarations.

### Summits

The G20 was created as a response to both the financial crisis of 2007-2010 and the power of key emerging economies which were not adequately included in the core of global economic discussion. The G30 succeeded this, growing as a response to the 2016-2019, the economic impacts of social reform in the United States and the emergence of even more economies. The first summit was held in Delhi, during India's tenure as President of the G20.

## Members

### Invitees

Currently, there are 30 members of the group. These include, at the leaders summits, the leaders of 29 countries and of the European Union. In addition, Poland and Spain are permanent guests to the summit, as well as a representative from the ASEAN and African Union Secretariats. Furthermore the President of the G30 may invited another country - usually from it's own region - to attend. For example, in 2027, Turkey invited both Israel and Syria. Other invitees include the International Monetary Fund, the Financial Security Board, the International Labour Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United Nations, the World Bank and World Trade Organization.
Hydrogen Economy

The term **Hydrogen Economy**  refers to the infrastructure necessary to support hydrogen powered cars and other vehicles.

The world's leading industrial nations constructed hydrogen fueling stations and supporting infrastructure including hydrogen production plants and hydrogen pipelines on mass in the 2020s and 2030s as part of a worldwide transition towards hydrogen powered cars, buses and trucks.
North Korea

**North Korea** was a nation in East Asia. It joined with South Korea to form the United Republic of Korea in the fall of 2019. Korea joined the Shanghai Pact shortly after which had made the reunification of the Korean peninsula possible. The United States was unable to successfully prevent the Korean peninsula from drifting into Beijing's sphere of influence in part due to the Second American Revolution.
Central Asia

Central Asia is a region in the middle of the Asian continent. It sometimes refers to former Soviet Central Asia. Other times it includes western China, Afghanistan, Mongolia or portions of Iran. Russia, China and the UIR partitioned the vast region on the 2016 and 2017 period annexing the former nations of **Central Asia** as new provinces. The abundance of oil and gas in former Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan was one reason for Russia and Iran respectively invading the two nations. Iran invaded and annexed Turkmenistan less than a year before it became the core of the United Islamic Republic.
Australian federal election, 2016

The **2016 Australian federal election** was a double dissolution election held on 22 September to elect all 226 members of the 45th Parliament of Australia, after a 6-week official campaign period. It was the first double dissolution election since the 1987 election, and the first under a new Senate voting system that replaced group voting tickets with optional preferential voting. Ultimately, Prime Minister Julie Bishop was returned to office under a Liberal-National coalition government, despite Labor under Bill Shorten winning the most amount of seats. It was followed by the 2017 special election following New Zealand's merger with Australia. A significant redistribution occurred which added an additional 60 seats to the House of Representatives, an extra 12 Senators for New Zealand and the Northern Territory became a state, entitling it to 10 extra Senators.
Almaty

**Almaty** was a city and region in Kazakhstan that China annexed into Xinjiang in 2016. The city was famous both for its modern skyline and the towering Tien Shan Mountains to the southeast of the city visible from its center.

**Almaty** contained a mixed population of Russians, Kazakhs, Han Chinese and Uighurs. No single group formed a majority and Russian, Mandarin and various Turkic languages were commonly heard throughout the city. **Almaty** was a true melting pot of Eurasian peoples.

**Almaty** was the headquarters of Eurasian Development Bank which helped fund development projects throughout the Eurasian Economic Union.
Cyber Warfare

**Cyber Warfare** refers to attempts to steal enemy technology and sabotage enemy computer systems, infrastructure and armies in an armed conflict.

China and Russia actively developed this technology in the 21st century including the ability to hack and commandeer enemy drones and other robotic weapons.
Magic/spell negation

The ability to cancel out the magic of others.

## Description

* Spell negation is a witch's ability to cancel the spells and magic of others. This power was first seen when Faye Chamberlian conjured a storm that later elevated to a tsunami after which she tried to stop but could not so Cassie willed the storm to stop by simply exclaiming "stop".
* When Blackwell made a potion to make Cassie and Adam lose and forget thier feelings for each other and while the potion works and makes Adam forget Cassie's dark magic protected her from the effects of the potion.

## Trivia

* This is also called magic negation because Faye didn't use a spell to conjure the tsunami she simply said "rain down on me".
* This power is exculsive to dark magic users.
Cryokinesis

Cryokinesis is an element similar to Molecular Immobilization and it is the power to freeze things with the mind.

## Details

The fact that Adam Conant is shown to have the power over water in Pilot means that they are separate powers from each other, so this causes one to have the power of ice while others don't. Jane Blake told Cassie she has powers the Circle doesn't have in Wake. In the poster Dawn is shown to have power over ice. Faye Chamberlain, Dawn's daughter, is the first to use this element after she absorbed the powers of her Circle.

## Ability

The witch can create, shape and manipulate ice and frost and appears naturally in forms of snow, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder. Once an object is frozen it becomes very weak and brittle.

## Known Users

Faye Chamberlain (to freeze a glass cup)

Dawn Chamberlain (poster)

## Trivia

* Dawn is never seen using this power as it was stripped away from her. However, her daughter Faye is the first person shown to use this power in "Fire/Ice" when she stole the Circle's magic.

* In the 3rd book, Nick Armstrong used "The Power of Ice" against Black John.
Cairo

**Cairo** is the capital and largest city of Egypt and later the Cairo Caliphate which became the North African Caliphate.

After the completion of a massive new capital district east of old **Cairo** and Giza in 2025, the population of the greater **Cairo** metropolitan area soon swelled to over 30 million by 2030. A canal through the new district linked old **Cairo** to the Suez Canal.
Bohai Sea

The **Bohai Sea** is a sea off the coast of northern China.

Many of China's most important cities are along the rim of the Bohai Sea forming one of China's three most important economic regions which fueled the country's enormous economic growth in the early 21st century.

By the early to mid 2030s, numerous infrastructure improvements including HSR had turned the region into a more cohesive economic unit called the Bohai Economic Rim. The mega region had a population of over 300 million and included the Chinese capital Beijing as well as neighboring Tianjin.
Kuwait City

**Kuwait City** was the capital city of Kuwait.

Kuwait City was devastated by fighting in looting by Shia militia during the conquest of the Arabian Peninsula by the United Islamic Republic during the Third Persian Gulf War. Although damaged, Kuwait City emerged as technology and finance hub again within the UIR after the war because of the Province of Kuwait's immense oil wealth. **Kuwait City** rebuilt from the devastation of the Third Persian Gulf War as a modern high tech city. Along with Tehran, Dubai and Muscat, it had one of the highest standards of living in the UIR.
Myanmar

**Myanmar**, also known as **Burma**, is a nation in South East Asia.

## Economy

Both China and India invested heavily in Burmese tourism, infrastructure and industry in the 21st century.

In 2026, China Railways completed the Kunming-Kolkata HSR Line linking **Myanmar** to both China and India as well as the larger Pan-Asian High Speed Rail System.

In 2028, CR completed the Bangkok-Kolkata HSR Line, providing a direct HSR land link between **Myanmar** and the rest of South East Asia.

Both of these HSR projects also increased investment in neighboring Bangladesh.
Electronic Paper

**Electronic Paper** refers to a bendible electronic medium capable of displaying moving and changing electronic images that played a role similar to paper. It became commonplace during the 2020s. By the 2030s, **electronic paper** was a disposable item.

Advances in Nano-Electronics and production of conductive graphene in particular made **electronic paper** possible.
Microsoft

**Microsoft** is an American computer and technology company founded by Bill Gates credited with helping to make personal computers affordable to the masses in the 1980s and 1990s.

Although the company fell behind its competitors such as Apple, Google and Samsung in terms of innovation in the early 21st century, it remained a major player in the technology industry and expanded rapidly in developing markets.
Cold War

The **Cold War** was a period in the 20th century after World War 2 between 1946 and 1989 where two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, vied for global dominance.

Although some thought the emergence of new superpowers in the 21st century would lead to a renewed cold war, there were clear differences between the multi-polar world of the 21st century and the Cold War world of the 20th century. The ideologies of the various world powers in the 21st century were not as different as those of the communist and capitalist blocs in the 20th century with all majors powers practicing free market capitalism in some form.
Aerial Drones

**Aerial Drones** are unmanned aerial vehicles first developed and deployed by the United States for military purposes in the first two decades of the 21st century.

## History

### 2000-2030

The U.S. military used unmanned drones extensively in its wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and even used drones to assassinate suspected Islamist militants in other countries such as Yemen. By the 2010s, nations other than the United States, including Russia, China and Israel, also had military drones. Numerous nations used drones for surveillance. By the mid-2010s, aerial drones had entered the consumer market as flying toys. Amazon began using drones to deliver packages ordered online to customers in the late 2010s. By the 2020s, drones were everywhere with the cheapest models costing under $50.00 in 2015 prices. By 2030, drones were a common feature in the skies above cities, suburbs and the countryside in the United States, Canada, Australia, most of Europe and large portions of Asia. The U.S. Military developed the first humanoid combat land drones in 2025. Russia and the People's Republic of China also had their own first generation android soldiers by 2030.

### 2031-2050

By the early 2030s, many military analysts predicted that the world's major powers would have fully automated and robotic militarizies by the mid to late 21st century. Androids also began entering the home and the workplace in major industrialized nations during this period. Delivery drones and other commercial drones were an even more common sight in the skies above cities, suburbs and fields in the major industrialized nations by mid-century.
Baluchistan

**Baluchistan** is a region of the United Islamic Republic inhabited historically by Balochi people which enjoys limited self government. **Baluchistan** also contained significant numbers of the Arabs, Persians and Pashtuns to the extent that no single ethnic group had a majority by 2030.

## History

### 2000-2017

For most of the first two decades of the 21st century, what would become the UIR region of Baluchistan was divided between Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Taliban gained some support among conservative Sunni Muslim Baluchis.

### Unification of Baluchistan within the UIR and the Formation of the Baluchistan Regional Government: 2018-2030

The UIR formed the Baluchistan Regional Government modeled after the KRG in 2018 with its regional capital in the Iranian city of Zahedan. The BRG included Iran's Sistan and Baluchistan Province, former Afghanistan's Sistan region and former Pakistan's Baluchistan region. The BRG had a total population of over 18 million from its inception. Farsi, Arabic, Baluchi, and Pashto were all official regional languages although Tehran pushed Farsi as a language of higher education, government and inter ethnic communication to encourage some cultural uniformity throughout the vast UIR.

Although many Baluchis had wanted an independent Baluchistan and had waged an insurgency against Iran as well as the former nation of Pakistan, most Baluchis grudgingly acknowledged the BRG was the best deal they were likely to get. They also took note that Baluchistan was united for the first time in the modern era under the UIR.

Baluchistan remained one of the more Sunni regions of the UIR although by 2030 over a third of the population identified as Shia and most of the educated and urban population was fluent in Farsi as well as Baluchi or Pashto.

### Emergence as a Major Player in the Solar Industry: 2031-2050

In the 2030s, the UIR began constructing vast solar farms throughout the Baluchistan region taking advantage of new technology that vastly reduced cost of solar power while greatly increasing its efficiency. Baluchistan began supplying a significant amount of India's electricity needs by 2035 via HVDCs stretching under the Arabian Sea. This brought a gradual increase in wealth in the mostly destitute Baluchistan region.
Korean Crisis

In January 2019, the leaders of the Shanghai Pact met in Astrakhan, Russia to discuss strategies to extend their strategic reach. They eventually decided to try and break South Korea off from American influence by moving towards a unified Korea. At the subsequent Shanghai Conference in February, South Korea agreed to invest in the North and the Shanghai Pact leaders agreed to assist in forming a Korean Confederation.

The South Korean Ambassador to China notified President Xi Jinping that Seoul was interested in ascending to the Shanghai Pact in order dissuade a Northern attack. In March, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un suggested a quasi-confederation in which the North retained control over its current territory and the movement of people would be restricted.

In August, Russian President Vladimir Putin began plotting to spark a war between the USA and North Korea by pushing Pyongyang into launching a limited nuclear attack against the continental United States. This plot was uncovered by both South Korean and Chinese intelligence services who plot to quickly assassinate Kim Jong-un. On 4 September, North Korean intelligence assets in cooperation with Seoul and Beijing poisoned Kim Jong-un, while making the death appear to be a heart attack. The North Korean military took control of the country.

On 18 September, the two Koreas agreed to reunification becoming the United Republic of Korea.  Seoul became the capital of the United Korean nation and the entire north agreed to initiate free market reforms and open to South Korean and other foreign investment. The armies of the two Koreas merged into the United Korean Army with officers from both the ROK Army and the KPA retaining their current ranks leading to a lot of staunchly anti-American former North Korean generals holding high positions in the Korean Army. However, Korea restricted the movement of ordinary former North Koreans into former South Korea to focus on building up the northern half of the now unified country.

### Ranking of third-placed teams

The four best third-placed teams from the six groups advanced to the next stage along with the six group winners and six runners-up. The ranking of the third-placed teams were determined by the "rules for classification" listed below the table (that is, ranked by columns Pts, GD, and GF in sequence; then by drawing lots).

In the next stage the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C and D according to a table published in Section 28 of the tournament regulations.

## Knockout Stage

The knockout stage comprises the 16 teams that advanced from the group stage of the tournament. There are four rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds are the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. There is also a match to decide third and fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, any draw at 90 minutes is followed by 30 minutes of extra time; if scores are still level, there is a penalty shootout to determine who progresses to the next round. Single yellow cards accrued will be cancelled after the quarter-finals, therefore ensuring that no players miss the Final because of receiving a caution in the semi-finals.

Baltic Crisis

In April 2019, while the world was in the throes of the Great Recession, Vladimir Putin mobilized Russian forces on the borders of the three Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

However, in a huge geopolitical victory for Putin, the main EU states recognized Russia's expanded borders in exchange for the resumption of Russian oil, natural gas and grain shipments at preferential prices. This sparked riots by Ukrainians in the European Union and created a sharp wedge between Brussels and Washington with the later continuing to oppose Vladimir Putin.

With Miliband's sudden resignation in 2023, Wright succeeded incoming Prime Minister, Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary.

Despite significant push back, Wright oversaw the introduction of the passing of these reforms with a narrow majority. Wright also attempted to overhaul the command structures at the Security Service, MI5, and dismissed the head of the service after a long spat that resulted in Wright being forced to testify to the Intelligence and Security Committee. At the 2025, Yvette Cooper was defeated by Justine Greening, seeing Wright leave the Home Office.
