Wandering the World
WORLD OF THE HEGEMON
Based on Orson Scott Card's Shadow parallax to Ender's Game: ender's shadow, shadow of the hegemon, shadow puppets, and shadow of the giant.
story: fell free to skip
In Shadow of the Hegemon, although Bean, the main protagonist, despises Peter (mainly an irrational hatred of Peter for not being Ender), he joins him when Achilles de Flandres captures all the members of Ender's jeesh. Bean decodes a message sent by one of the captured kids and provides Peter with it, which Peter reveals to the world through his Locke persona. Later, Sister Carlotta and Bean convince Peter his path to power requires him to expose himself as the writer behind Locke and Demosthenes and to decline the position of Hegemon because of his age. Peter dislikes being told what to do, but recognizes that this is the only action he can take, as it is only a matter of time before Achilles, now pulling the strings in India, takes action to expose or kill him. He uses his influence to put Bean in a military position in Thailand, which he and Bean perceive to be the target of a future attack by Achilles' India.
Meanwhile, Peter does consultation work in Haiti to show his abilities at governing and to have a nation’s protection from Achilles. Events during Bean's time in Thailand, the way in which India is conducting its war, and information from Peter's contacts reveal to Peter and Bean that Achilles' true goals are to create a massive Chinese empire by betraying both India and Thailand. Bean and Peter disagree over the release of this information to the world.
Peter eventually reports the information to the world, just before Bean rescues a group of Battle School Students from India. The reporting of China’s plans precipitates their betrayal of India and Thailand. Both of these countries are so weakened by their war with each other that China manages a nearly bloodless conquest.
This new conquest of China’s frightens much of the rest of the world, and they vote Peter in as Hegemon in order to try and preserve peace, even as China, now ruling over a third of the world’s population, revokes its recognition of the position. At the end of the novel, Bean turns control of his small battle group over to Hegemon Peter. Afterwards, they argue over Peter’s refusal to report on China’s plans sooner. Peter justifies himself by saying that reporting sooner would have done nothing to stop it, as he would not have been believed; and that even if he was, neither India or Thailand had the capacity to resist the Chinese aggression. By revealing the information when he did, he avoided a much bloodier war, and he cemented his reputation for prescience and as a man for peace. Peter sees himself as the only person capable of bringing peace to the warring world. Peter seems to have played his hand perfectly-- he unites humanity under a single government, due to the way that he analyzed the problem as early as Shadow of the Hegemon when he decides to take action against Achilles, and releases the information that Achilles was to betray the world via Russia (and later India) to China, which is soon taken over by Han Tzu (a Battle school survivor of Ender Wiggin's jeesh). Peter runs world afffairs with an articulate eye and open mind.
In Shadow Puppets, Peter invites Achilles to work for him, despite the danger this places Peter in. In the previous novel, Peter was the writer who exposed Achilles and forced him to abandon his plans for conquest. Achilles moves to subvert the Hegemony and forces Peter to go up into space. There, Colonel Graff gets suspicions that Achilles will attempt to kill Peter and his parents when they return to Earth. Graff sends a dummy ship that Achilles blows up; in doing this, Achilles all but seals his doom, since no nation will want to openly associate with him. Peter retakes the Hegemony.
Shadow of the Giant comes back to Peter's conquest to unite the world and shows his diplomatic and political maneuvering. He creates the Free People of Earth, a contract by all people who have ratified it. It begins slowly, but quickens when he uses Bean to swiftly defeat armies. At the very end of the novel, only the United States has not joined, but the world as a whole is united and peaceful. Peter helps Bean's wife Petra Arkanian raise her five remaining children and later marries her. Together, they have five children.
Ender's and Valentine's trip through space, though short for them, lasts 50 years on Earth. By this time, Peter has united the world under the office of Hegemon and is suffering from a failing heart. As first described in Ender's Game, and later, with more detail, in Shadow of the Giant, he communicates by ansible and tells Ender what he did on Earth, both good and bad. Peter apologizes to Ender for his behavior, and Ender seems to have forgiven him. He says, "I think I can write about you." Based off of these conversations, Ender writes The Hegemon and releases it after Peter's death under a pseudonym, Speaker for the Dead. This story, a frank account of Peter Wiggin's life, is later published as a single volume with Ender's The Hive Queen, a small novel about the Formics, or buggers, telling the truth behind the tale. In the end, both Peter and Ender have done great things that changed human history forever. The main difference in their greatness is that Peter is honored for the peace he created and Ender, because of his own writing, is vilified for his genocide.

Basically i'm asking if this would be a good idea: would people want to play it?
I need a short break from the Arda mod, and this seemed like an easy idea, not to hard to do
This Mod/scenario would follow Peter wiggin's rise to hegemon after the bugger war.
Civs:
FPE (free people of Earth)
Leader: Peter wiggins
history: a union of countries under one government: the poeple of the countries hold a plebescite to see if they accept admission to the FPE. these countries do not have to be countries recongnized internationally.
Capitals are in brazil, rwanda, and Rotterdam.
Muslim League:
Leader: Alai
History: A union originally created among the muslim nations to protect them from Pakistan's ambissions over the world, but then to protect pakistan (and the other muslim nations) from conquest by china.
China
Leader: Han Tzu
Leader
olitiburo
History: China suffered first and most in the bugger war/: they were attacked first. that was long ago, though: the bugger wars are over, and China has it's vwery own Battle Schooler: Han Tzu... however, his plans are regarded as foolish, expecially after the invasion of india was so successfull. it is only after the muslim league, and russia, start to attack china, taking Tibet and Western China, that Han Tzu stages a coup, and takes over the governemnt, proclaiming himself emperor
India
Leader: Virlomi
History: Virlomi Was india's very own Battle schooler, and was set to work to make plans to dominate Asia. she escaped from the Clutches of the Madman Achilles De Flandres, and has become a goddess to her people, resisting first the chinesse invaders, then the Muslim oppressors.
Russia:
Leader: more research needed
History: Russia had been ready to restart it expansion when the bugger war started, and was forced to quell it while the war was on (until the third invasion). now the war is over, Russia is ready to retake the world. However, it ignores the plans of it's battle schoolers, and is wracked by inner strife.
United States:
Leader: more research needed
History: "is old and fat, and hasn't yet realized that it doesn't have much power left"
Rest of the world:
Leader:????????
This will represent the rest of the world, it will be there, and it's cities will have a high conversion rate to th FPE.
Barbarians: achille's de flandre's network
Resources:
Basically, battle schoolers: these can be stolen and traded, but there is a limit in the world, and they will randomly appear in cities at the start of the game.
Religions:
The usual
Units:
Various modern units/ sci-fi units.
Other things:
Much geater espionage...
Please post if you would like this mod, or if you have any other ideas for Civs, or other things.
For example, i'm triying to figure out how to put in the international flet, but...
