Background: I have yet to elaborate a story, but this scenario is based on a civil war in the U.S. around 2010 A.D., in the midst of a worldwide economic depression. Some nukes were dropped, a few cities are devastated and in the throes of barbarism, as are a lot of large American cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and the former U.S. Capital of Washington. A few nukes are still out there, but many were used in the great World War that prompted the world depression. At the current tech level of the civs, no new missiles can be built. Cheyenne Mountain itself is controlled by some fanatic barbarians who were formerly U.S. militarythey have a nuke or two there (and are heavily defended), but luckily most of the ordnance still in there was sealed in a huge mass of concrete, which will be hard to dig out....
Anyway, with the nuking and fall of Washington, the nation of the U.S. effectively ceased to be. Anarchy ruled for a period, then factions emerged around the country based on various ideologies, while an American Remnant region coalesced around the military rule of General Armand Leahy (fictional), who held tenuous sway in the U.S. heartland and Midwest, as well as the farm regions of California, Colorado, and Utah, and much of the American Southbasically anything not yet claimed by the various strong factions who have declared themselves independent. They have yet to build a Capital, and are a Military Junta (monarchy).
Canada didnt survive without a schism, but in this scenario they get to keep Quebec but they lose Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon to the Native Americans, and British Columbia to the Greens. The remaining Canada has Capitals in Ottawa and Quebec (look at the Quebec split as one of allies), and also has administration over some of the former British Caribbean (Nassau, Freeport, Grand Cayman), as well as Aruba. They are a Social Democracy (Republic).
Besides B.C., the Greens prevailed in Northern California, western Oregon and Washington state, lower New England and Vermont, and Wisconsin. They also are federated with Costa Rica. They have multiple Capitals in San Francisco, Boston, Madison, Victoria, and San Jose (Costa Rica), and are a Social Democracy (Republic) also.
The Native Americans came about with the Dakota Accords in Bismarck, whereby American Indian groups and non-Indian libertarians in the same areas found common ground and allied into a federation. They hold sway in the Dakotas, northern Minnesota (Leech Lake and Bemidji), Upper Michigan (Houghton), Montana (except Butte), Wyoming, northern New Mexico, Mesa Verde (in Colorado), northern Arizona, and the great libertarian State of Nevada, as well as Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Alberta, with an small enclave made up of New Hampshire and Maine, and Hilo and Kahului in Hawaii (the Remnants still control Honolulu). (Note: I'm debating giving these two smaller Hawaiian cities to the Greens, and probably will.) They consist of mainly the forgotten, remote areas of the U.S., although they possess a few larger cities, like Las Vegas, Calgary, Edmonton, and Albuquerque. They have an alliance with the Greens, as both are fighting both the Remnants and the Aryan Nations. Their Capitals are Santa Fe, Little Bighorn, Bismarck, Concord, Edmonton, and Juneau. They are a Libertarianism (Democracy).
The New Africans are not related to the Nation of Islam (after the great World War, anything Islam pretty much disappeared in these parts), but are militant black separatists nonetheless. They have seized power in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit (which was suitcase-nuked (spy planted a dirty bomb) by the Aryan Nations in scenario development, hence all civs are at war with the Aryan Nations, see below), St. Louis, Mobile, and Jacksonville, with sizeable forces throughout the south, and other forces vying for takeover of many of the larger gang-controlled barb cities like Washington, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami, New Orleans, and New York. They also are federated with Jamaica and Haiti in the Caribbean, and Belize. They are a Neonationalism (Communism), and have yet to build a Capital.
The Aryan Nations formed their power base by declaring the independent Republic of Idaho (consisting of Boise, Twin Falls, Pocatello, and Coer dAlene), and also have control of Butte in Montana, and Pendleton in Oregon, and threaten the Remnant city of Spokane (also with Green forces vying for control there). They also have seized power in Alexandria, Louisiana, and Tupelo, Mississippi, and have large forces scattered throughout the South also, with theirs and the New Africans vying for control of the Remnant-held areas. They have one Capital, in Boise, and are a Neofascism (Fundamentalism).
The Mexican government remained somewhat intact, but has reverted to a Military Junta (Monarchy), and the new regime is somewhat militaristic, and are allied with Mexican separatist forces in Southern California, Arizona, southern New Mexico, and Texas, where they have control over Tucson, Las Cruces, El Paso-Juarez, Laredo, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi, and threaten the Remnant cities of San Diego and Phoenix, and are vying for control over barbarian Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami. Their armies are pushing through Remnant Texas with superior momentum as well. For game purposes they are also federated with Venezuela (Caracas) and the Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo), and have forces on barb-held Cuba and Puerto Rico. Their Capital is Mexico City.
Barbs control many large U.S. cities with gang units (relatively weak but numerous): New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, and Miami. They also hold Huntington (West Virginia) with partisans, and Roswell (New Mexico) with the toughest defense unit in the game. They also are used to represent the minor dictatorships in Guatemala, Honduras (La Ceiba), El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, and Cuba (Havana and Santiago), as well as war-torn Colombia (Cartagena).
Those are the ones that take up most space. Well, seriously, I think just a handful of createunit events should do it...
