To the south are a collection of semi independent colonial holdings and newly formed nations. While the USTI holds the norther half of the continent. To the east is the old world Eris in the west and Selen in the far east. The west is dominated by Four major powers Londinian Galia Remia and the Ursan Union.

Fortified subterranean complexes built beneath the original cities. Each bunker city is held by either the Coalition or the Tribune and separated from the others by miles of no-mans land.
