Right, I have made a big bureaucratic decision.

'Tis time for (drum roll please) BORING DETAIL ABOUT OUR MAP GAME EMPIRES! (Party Poppers please)
Right, i am proud to announce it is time for pointless trivia on your countries! I am making a really long "Too long - Let's Read" fluffy post!
Here is the place for histories of your map game nations. I'll start:
The UAOS (Union d'Afrique Objetik du Sudt) was founded shortly before the collapse of the European Scriven empire after Southern Africa broke away from the Zagwa federation. It is driven by a tyrannical fascist government which rules through terror and brainwashing.
Nobody can say exactly how the empire started, but it was forged in the fires of war, and thus it is by fire that the enemy within is purged. Yes, I mean that literally.
The people of the UAOS hold a long-running hatred towards the Scriven that exceeds even that of the Hordes of Khan; this is because of their digust at mutation and variegation from the pure human form. Anything mutant is purged, the poor souls burned alive to maintain the purity that is so important in this land.
The UAOS were the first to re-invent flying machines, using helicopters liberally as their small takeoff and landing requirements allow them to be carried aboard gyro-fortresses, the most powerful weapons of war available in the world today. While no larger or more destructive than other traction fotresses, the true advantage of a gyro-fortress lies in its single huge wheel, atop which the entire vehicle rests. This wheel is almost solid armour, which not only allows it to absorb copious amounts of weapon fire that would otherwise rip it apart but also lets the gyro-fortress crush smaller vehicles and terrified infantry under its immense bulk.
The UAOS is today in a shaky peace with the Scriven, but how long can it last when both sides have committed atrocities against each other, when hatred of the enemy is taught to infant children, and when the army grows impatient for conquest...
With New Exeter apparently gripped by a strange cult and an underground nemisis, Lorgarstadt fallen along with all Muskovy, and the war effort collapsing, things look bad for the Anti-Traction League. But what of Spitzbergen and Stockholm? How will Fraustadt deal with the loss of its puppet government? What shall be revealed about the fall of New Tokyo?
Growing paranoia in Poltava, the world's largest and most powerful Traction city, is leading to riots, anarchy and all-out civil war; utter chaos rules the streets and groteque beings roam the dark gut, mutated by poisons that infect the very air. Hann. Munden, world-famous for its survival against New Exeter's armies wo have done much more with far less, is missing without a trace. Airhaven has vanished over the Hndred Islands, with reports of clolssal explosions coming in from that area. The Pacific Ocean is no longer safe,the largest predators and fotress-towns live in fear of that coastline, some Raft Cities are plowing aground and building wheels to escape the terror or even braving the poisoned straits of the Black Atlantic and the perilous coasts of the Dead Continent. Nuevo-Maya is gripped by wars between armies of hundreds of Ziggurat cities bent on annihilating one another.
And deep below the sea a horror beyond imagining waits, a crawling chaos out of Mankind's worst nightmares... it stirs again.
