In the old days, when one looked upon their child and their future, they saw great wealth and prosperity ahead. What came for their child and their descendants was bloodshed, plague, and death.

In the year 2022 a Space X probe named "Courier" successfully drills into an asteroid and extracts a rare undiscovered metal, and returns to earth intact. Once analysed it was discovered the metal absorbed incredible amounts of carbon dioxide and other industrial byproducts like a sponge. Within the Next 20 years NASA, the ESA, Space X, and the CNSA had all launched spacecraft with the intention of harvesting more of the metal, dubbed solutonium, in order to reverse the effects of climate change on the earth. By 2047 a mini asteroid belt of 50 has formed around the planet, being moved for ease of transportation for off-world mines. On June 7th, 2049 the asteroid "Colorado" began to drop from its orbit around the earth and began to fall into the atmosphere above western Tennessee. The United States, Russia, China, and the United Kingdom all fired ICBMs at the asteroid to prevent any serious damage upon impact. Successful, with only minor debris hitting the earth crews began to harvest solutonium from the debris, though found something else. Tennessee was first hit, then its neighboring states, it was only a few days before the entire Eastern Seaboard was hit with it.

In a matter of months each corner of the globe was hit with a plague of unimaginable power. Almost completely drug resistant, incredibly deadly, and the ability to move with lightning speed, by the time the year was out hundreds of millions globally were dead. After five years only 3 governments remained and almost 2 billion had died. After ten years the only nation left standing was Iceland, and 6 Billion lay dead in mass graves or on streets, nobody left to bury them. Things were incredibly grim for mankind, though the disease was slowing down to a less brutal rate. Death was still a daily occurrence, as feuding dukes, kings, mayors, khans, presidents, ministers, governors, CEO's, and Emperors all clashed for the most basic of resources, or for simple human rage.

It took three centuries for man to evolve immunity to the disease that destroyed the world of old. Few were educated, life was short, things ranging from television to cellphones to the United States were all legends and tales of and age long gone. Cultures had developed and religions formed in the shadows of North America. The continent was almost unrecognizable, the Celestial Empire of California dominated most of the West Coast for Centuries, the Amish Kingdoms in Pennsylvania fight against the Occultist states of New York, the Holy Columbian Confederation is the regional powerhouse of the Deep south, an American pope rules in New Rome. It has been over six hundred years since the collapse of society. However, where one society ends, another one begins.

Regional Information

Ghosts of the North
The northern regions of former America and Southern Canada is a battleground of ideologies and armies, the Amish Kingdoms of Pennsylvania fight to keep their independence from New Englander dukes and Rust Belt Cultists in Ohio. Down the Mississippi and up the East coast powerful Viking states raid for glory and wealth, returning to their homeland in the Great Lakes before Winter. Detroit is pillaged time and time again by the Rust Belt Cultists in their unending hunt for technology, and its factories and steel mills turned into temples. Americanist leaders preserve the great artifacts and monuments of former America, and dream of bringing back the United States of old, gods and all.

Southern Knights
The former Deep South has managed to rebuild itself modestly enough, the Holy Columbian Confederation styling itself as the true successor to the United States, being likely the strongest power east of the Mississippi few contest its claim. The Southern Dukes and counts who refuse to bend knee however, stand in its way of power. While Americanists in Florida, who revere American Icon Walt Disney, try to keep their independence from christian neighbors.

Below the Border
The Atomicists of Sonora and Arizona continue to conquer their neighbors in both Mexico and America, while they alongside Veracruz grow rich of Interstate trade with California and Texas. Various Mesoamerican and Mexican states fight over the fertile Mexico Valley, and the descendants of the governments of Central America continue the old feuds and begin new ones with one another.

Indian Country
The destruction of the Old governments of North America that had oppressed them for centuries had been a godsend for the Natives of North America. They were free of the reservation system and they set their swords, rifles, and bows outward in conquest. Though unlike the Indian Wars of the 19th century they were now a minority in their own homeland, having to compromise with Anglo-American vassals and acknowledge the pope in New Rome.

Gods and Kings
The land west of the Rocky Mountains was once told to be a land of peace, though in the 27th century, its far from a Utopia. The once mighty Empire of California has splintered into 5 kingdoms, all fighting over Sacramento. Cascadian kings struggle against Haida invasions, the Mormons of Deseret spread their faith at the end of a blade north into Idaho and Wyoming, unable to pass the Rocky Mountains into Colorado. The Cowboys of Arizona and New Mexico make attempts to push back the Atomicist tinkers to the south. The Anglo-American Tribes of Idaho, Montana, and elsewhere in the Rockies are adamant on keeping their independence, though constantly bicker and fight for anything they want. Idaho's Silver Valley being an area of constant warfare over the valuable ore within its mines.

Important Notes: Pre-calamity Firearms are rare, very rare, many rulers pay extortionist prices to buy them from merchants for personal use. Crude Muskets, Bows, blades, and metal armor is the norm for armies and levies. Overall the technology level has degraded to a medieval level, though as the population increases innovations are made, and Rust Belt Cultists and Atomicist tinkerers constantly experiment with the machinery left behind by Ancient Americans. Rule of thumb if it needs gas or electricity it doesn't work anymore, there are exceptions however. There are a few predetermined kingdoms in California, Utah, and the Deep South, you can either app as one of them or create your own nation, just try to keep with the regional theme and faiths.

RELIGIONS: (Custom faiths allowed)

Based in the former Rust Belt of the Great Lakes the first cultist stumbled upon an ancient pre-calamity factory, the complicated and elegant machinery could only have been the work of Gods to him and many after him. They believe factories to be temples to gods who will reward them with manufactured products if repaired. A great factory is to be used as the head temple of all Rust Belt Cultists.

One of the Oldest denominations of Christianity, it survives in the Great plains and Mississippi river coastline with its own American Pope in St Louis, however renamed to New Rome. The first pope was elected to the Papacy on July 4th, 2100 by a makeshift conclave of American bishops.

The earliest form of Cetic was created by the blend of cultures and religions within California, the current form of Cetic was created and defined by the first Emperor of California, using teachings from Buddha, the Bible, and others to create the faith to extend his own power among the populace. One is expected to make a pilgrimage to the holy sites in Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Francisco once within their lifetime. The religious head is the Celestial Emperor of California, who can excommunicate members and use their power to increase their legitimacy.

The People of Washington D.C, the Black Hills, and other landmark locations saw the great and mighty monuments and statues built by the United States to honor those they called founders. They were proof enough that ancient Americans worshiped the founders, so why shouldn't they? A pantheon of sorts revolving around the founding fathers and other presidents such as Lincoln and Roosevelt. Each independent Americanist ruler elects a President to be the head of the faith (similar to pope) who rules in Washington D.C. A pilgrimage, called tours, is expected to be made to one of the holy sites in Rushmore, D.C, Boston, and New York City.

Occultists are a group of pagans, generally considered by most to be unholy demon-worshipers, treading the fine line between orthodox and heresy to many. The Occultist beliefs are formed from the few pieces of "Ancient Lore" that survived the Event, most likely including works by authors such as H.P. Lovecraft or Stephen King. Their settings in New England are most likely responsible for the current predominance in the area.

The Anabaptists are a branch of Christianity originating from 16th century Europe, and the forebears of American groups such as the Amish, Hutterites and Mennonites, which banded together to survive the post-cataclysm world. Anabaptists believe Christians should remain separate from the rest of the world, refuse to hold office and refrain from violence even in war or self-defense, tenets which make life after the apocalypse difficult, and often quite short. However, outside influences would force the Anabaptists to adapt to the hostile post-Event world. After the murder of a former Amish King by an Americanist President, the Anabaptist betrayed their pacifist tenets to exact revenge on the Americanists. Since then, the mainstream Anabaptist faith has disregarded most of their pacifist beliefs, and became a force to be reckoned with in the Northeast.

The Norse are Pagans centered in Pre-Calamity Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the northern peninsula of Michigan, who believe that the Gods of their Norse ancestors struck down humanity because they had grown soft and weak. To remedy this, the modern Norse continue in the way of their Viking ancestors, raiding, pillaging, and conquering all who stand in their way. Since a portion of their faith is based off the NFL their priests are called Coaches, and great festivals not called Blots like the Norsemen of old called them, but called Superbowls and feature grand sporting events.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, Gaians worship the spirits of nature and the Earth, Gaia foremost among them. They believe that Gaia is interconnected to all the living things of Earth, the ancient soul of the Earth itself. They also encourage a society ruled by women rather than men, believing that men neglected the Earth, and Gaia struck them down because of it.

The belief of an Holy Power known as ‘The Atom’, Atomicists are devoted to worshiping the power of Atom, believing it to hold powers in which no man is capable of either comprehending, or recording. They preach the glory of the Atom and its former benefits of Nuclear Power, the cancer and tumors however, not so much.

Religion founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in New England. Based off of Joseph Smith's direct visitation by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the translating of an additional religious text to complement the Bible. Even before the Event, the Mormons were heavily persecuted and developed a self-sustaining culture in Deseret. It’s largely the same, though persecution is usually more hostile.

The Ghost Dance is the traditional belief system of the Northern Plains Indians, and holds to the belief that ritual dances can reunite the living with the dead, and having the dead fight on the behalf of the faithful, forcing white men to leave, and bringing peace and prosperity to the Native Americans. After the Event, natives in the Great Plains area began practicing their faith openly once more. While at first, it was limited to small tribes, the Sioux resurgence that toppled the Americanist realm of Lakota quickly adopted the faith, spreading it across the Kingdom.

Evangelicalism is a Christian religion that was formed from the merging of several different Protestant denominations in the former United States. It is the majority religion of the old Deep South and the state religion of the Holy Columbian Confederacy, with the faith mostly found within its borders.

Descendant of stereotyped Hollywood Voodoo, and a cult following of the Spirit of the Bayou, Edis. Practices of old-world "magic" tricks, tarot cards, palm-reading, and hallucinogenic drugs are commonplace amongst the "Priests" of the religion. Practiced primarily in Louisiana and other Voodoo sects in parts of the Caribbean.

The result of a mistranslated Polish Torah, pagan superstition, and the worship of those very much different from their peers, such individuals are usually given the title of protector, and are given the responsibility of guiding the nation and ensuring the religion remains pure. Ferricism derives it’s name from Ferric, and has three ‘dieties’ The Metallic Father, Son, Spirit. The Father is represented by the Old World buildings that aided in creation of the Metallic Son, mainly foundries and factories. The Son, the element itself, usually composing early transition metals. And the Spirit, the overarching spirit that possesses every Protector and ensures that they remain successful should they remain dutifull and honorable.

Rastafarianism is an Afro-syncretic religion with roots in Jamaica and the Caribbean. Followers believe in the divinity of Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia (1930-1974). The term derives from the Title, Ras, and the name Tafari, the first name of Haile Selassie before his coronation. They believe that the Emperor is Jah Rastafari, an incarnation of God, the second coming of Jesus to Earth. Practices include the spiritual use of cannabis and the rejection of "Babylon", or materialist and oppressive society.

The Brethren faith is a Pirate religion that is based off various sea myths and the famous practices of pirates in the Caribbean region during 16th-19th centuries, with their name derived from the historical Brethren of the Coast. Prevalent on small islands on both sides of the continent, they believe the sea to be the source of everything, from wealth to food.

A religion believing that The End was beset upon humanity by the Almighty Dollar because the individuals of the old world did not participate in an event known as “The Shopping” enough, displeasing the Almighty Dollar. A fledgling religion, they do not have very many followers, though the ones they have are overly zealous, and the faith is expected to expand far and wide.

Sagrado Corazon, or Sacred Heart, is a Christian religion that is derived from Catholicism mixed with aspects and figures from local Mexican folklore. Mainly found south of the Old World border, there are few English speaking followers, and even then they remain close to the Old Country of Mexico.

The Ursuline church is a Christian religion that formed from the antediluvian matriarchal Roman Catholic Ursuline Order in Quebec. The Ursulines maintain antediluvian Catholicism in Canada, while refusing to acknowledge the authority of the Pope in New Rome. They are found throughout Francophone Canada and parts of northern Vermont and Canada. It is also found in the Acadien county of Usitukun in southern Nova Scotia.

Imagine Christianity, only much more focused on the miraculous feats of Saints, Prophets, and Deities than normal. And preaching those events to the point of overshadowing normal events within their holy texts.

[spoiler=Xhúuyee K'iigaang]Translating to "Raven Tales", the traditional faith of the Haida and Natives of the Pacific Northwest. It’s declining in size due to Protectorate Inquisition, and general destruction of oral tradition by the ongoing war between the Protectorate of Delta and the Haida.

Its pretty similar to Imperial China, made up of 5 kingdoms. There are some premade nations in California, namely Jefferson, SoCal, The Valley, Gran Francisco, Death Valley, Baja, and the Celestial Emperor, who is reduced to just Sacramento. If you want to run one of them you can and attempt to reunify the Empire.

Supposedly in the mod they were supposed to war with each other over glories, land, and other things, but it seems rather hard to actually do. The Celestial Emperors despite being restricted to the capital lived in elaborate rituals, courtly ceremonies, and every few years released a compilation of teachings. Declaring war on the Celestial Emperor themselves would probably be seen as apostasy in the Cetic faith however.

[Ithalian Empire]

NS Nation Name: Ithalian Empire
Country Name:The Kingdom of Bayland or The Baylands
Religion: Nordic
Ruler's Name and Title: Oberjarl Erik "the Great" Jeneson, King of the Baylands, Lord of the Peninsula, Lord of the Isles.
Flag/logos of nation: A red long boat upon a green field.
History of your country: In the land that was once Northeast Wisconsin three tribes across, in the lands around the town of Marinette rose the Marnim, great shipbuilder and traders they transported goods far and wide across the Great Lakes. Around the city of Green Bay rose to Packards, aggressive warriors who ruled from the ancient city. In the areas that were once Oconto and Shawano Counties rose the Shoshon, a people tied to the land they became great farmers and built cities along the Little Lake and the Great Lakes. For a hundred years these three tribes fought and competed with each other. At times the Shoshon lands were occupied by both the Marnim and the Packards, other times all three tribes were fighting each other at the same time.

It was around 2420 that they came. Men from across the Lacks, hungry for power and land. The three tribes were taken by complete surprise. For two years they fought with the invaders, but at every tunr the three tribes were losing the war. On a sweltering June day in the year 2423 the three tribes sat together for the first time to unite as one nation. Lead by the first King of the Bay, a Packard named Emil "the Crusher" Verickson the new Kingdom forced the invaders out of there lands.

United under one banner the Kingdom of the Bay began to expand across what was once Northeast Wisconsin. One by one all who stood in the way of the Kingdom were pushed down and broken at the end of a spear or by the swing of an ax. When the Crusher died in 2457 he had added much land to the Kingdom.

After the Crushers death came the Great Peace, the Kingdom traded with the rest of the world, mostly the New England kingdoms and the Amish. The Baylands also sent raiding parties into the Cultist and Americanist lands, adding to their ever growing wealth. But with such wealth came the jealousy of their neighbours. Envious of the wealth of their neighbour several other kingdoms came together as a coalition and invaded the Baylands. From the year 2550 to 2578 the six separate wars were fought to bring down the Baylands, each time the Baylands were successful in defending their lands.

These wars took their toll on the Baylands, the wealth that once flowed through Baycity no longer flowed. Trade dried up as merchants were chased away by the Baylanders enemies. Thus started the Time of Starving, a period of time lasting from 2578 to 2657 were in the Baylands suffered from famine, internal strife and pestilence.

Then came the reign of the current Oberjarl, Erik "the Great" Jeneson. It was during the first years of his reign that he turned the declining state of the Baylands around. He marshaled the people behind a common cause, retake the glory that once was vested upon the Bay by the gods. Leading a mighty host he conquered all of the northern half of what was once Wisconsin and the entirety of the Upper Peninsula. From the Great Lakes in the east to the mighty Mississippi River to the west, from Lake Winnebago in the south to the tip of the Peninsula is the domain of the Baylands. Trade from the East once more flows through the mighty Baycity and raiders once again prowl the River.
Population:578,909
Army Size and Equipment:1900 (1000 Foot Infantry, 100 housecarls armed with muskets, 400 archers, 400 Raiders
Economic Overview: Mostly based off of copper trade and agriculture, the Baylands also makes money by raiding interior territory along the Mississippi River.

Country Name: The Empire of the Gear
Religion: Rust Belt Cultist
Rulers Name and Title: High Foreman Red Ford
Flag/logos of nation: Flag
History of your country: The Empire was originally a group of squabbling fiefdoms of kings and chiefs, perpetually at war with one another. The details of each have been lost to time, and there were so many that they were constantly splitting up or absorbing one another. The economy of the area was built on pitiful agriculture, barely enough to feed the local populace, let alone sell the surplus. However, one of the kingdoms slowly began to become full-fledged Rust Belt Cultists. The leader of the Cultists, Foreman Red Dodge, grew to view his own kingdom as heretical and overthrew the king, proclaiming the kingdom a theocracy. Of course, the surrounding kingdoms saw this as an opportunity and attacked. The attacking troops, though, began to desert; convinced by the local Cultist leader of the land's holiness, most of them wound up settling in the kingdom, now renamed the Holy Empire. This Empire then went on the offensive.

The Empire crushed the nearest kingdom, which had been weakened by a dynastic dispute, and promptly began to burn heretics. Of course, the heretics were usually traders. Fear scared traders out of the neighboring kingdoms, and the people, whipped into a religious fervor, overthrew their own rulers to appease the Gods of the Cult and welcomed the Empire into their lands. After a few such instances, rulers began surrendering when the Empire asked them to, lest the rulers lose their heads to their people. When subjugated, the local governor then gave all non-administrative offices to the Cult's representatives, laving only a few dozen civilians for budgeting and other such matters.

By the time that Red Ford assumed the position of High Foreman after the previous one died and ascended to Supervisor, the Empire of the Gear (its new name, to avoid scaring traders) had taken over the lands of Charree and Shekako, as well as the surrounding lands. The ruins of these cities were converted to massive temple complexes and became holy places, only for the faithful. Although trade has yet to recover, agriculture has improved and the Empire is, for the first time in untold centuries, at peace. (At least one Paragraph)
Population: 40,000
Army Size and Equipment: 1,500 (1,250 foot infantry, armed with pikes, short swords, and crude shields; 250 Bolts, armed with crossbows)
Economic Overview: Trade with the outside is virtually non-existent. The Empire pours all of its resources into maintaining the food supply and the Temples at Charree and Shekako. The only thing offered for export is holy metals and destabilization.

I'm going to be adding some stuff for Americanist and a few other faiths most likely for added dynamism. Something I know I will do for Americanists is Manifest Destiny. Whether it will be a holy war concept or make Americanists pressured to expand by the religious I have yet to determine. Else for Presidents It will work like that, they both rule the Potomac in D.C-Maryland and the lands they hailed from as two independent titles for life.

On a sweltering June day in the year 2423 the three tribes sat together for the first time to unite as one nation. Lead by the first King of the Bay, a Packard named Emil "the Crusher" Verickson the new Kingdom forced the invaders out of there lands.

United under one banner the Kingdom of the Bay began to expand across what was once Northeast Wisconsin. One by one all who stood in the way of the Kingdom were pushed down and broken at the end of a spear or by the swing of an ax. When the Crusher died in 2457 he had added much land to the Kingdom.

After the Crushers death came the Great Peace, the Kingdom traded with the rest of the world, mostly the New England kingdoms and the Amish. The Baylands also sent raiding parties into the Cultist and Americanist lands, adding to their ever growing wealth. But with such wealth came the jealousy of their neighbours. Envious of the wealth of their neighbour several other kingdoms came together as a coalition and invaded the Baylands. From the year 2550 to 2578 the six separate wars were fought to bring down the Baylands, each time the Baylands were successful in defending their lands.

These wars took their toll on the Baylands, the wealth that once flowed through Baycity no longer flowed. Trade dried up as merchants were chased away by the Baylanders enemies. Thus started the Time of Starving, a period of time lasting from 2578 to 2657 were in the Baylands suffered from famine, internal strife and pestilence.

Then came the reign of the current Oberjarl, Erik "the Great" Jeneson. It was during the first years of his reign that he turned the declining state of the Baylands around. He marshaled the people behind a common cause, retake the glory that once was vested upon the Bay by the gods. Leading a mighty host he conquered all of the northern half of what was once Wisconsin and the entirety of the Upper Peninsula. From the Great Lakes in the east to the mighty Mississippi River to the west, from Lake Winnebago in the south to the tip of the Peninsula is the domain of the Baylands. Trade from the East once more flows through the mighty Baycity and raiders once again prowl the River.

I was looking for some smaller Nordic groups, though I see how a Nordic power so large will make things pretty interesting in the great lakes. I will shave a couple provinces off the inland of your territory though.

Accepted.

Watch out Chicago, your gonna have an army knocking at your door whenever these Vikings want loot.

Reserved. Keep in mind, at this point the Emperor is more a less a religious head who is stuck in his Sacramento Palace, reclaiming his lands will be fairly difficult though i imagine some backroom politicking could get you some territory.

History of your country: The Order of Champlain traces its origins back some 150 years ago when a large force of organized bandits captured the walled city of Quebec and its citadel. They used this as a base of operation to raid surrounding settlements throughout the fertile St. Lawrence valley for several years with much success as the city's defences stopped any attempts at reprisal. However, as time passed banditry turned to more organized governance that resembled a medieval fiefdom that incorporated numerous agricultural communities. In 2526 a temple was discovered that told of a great man who in ancient times came from across the sea and created the grand fortress of Quebec City which became a powerful state.

This was the ruins of the Musee de la Civilisation and what was discovered were simply fragments of the history of Quebec City, New France, Samuel de Champlain, and the province of Quebec. Nevertheless, from then on the faction modelled itself on a mishmash of Quebec nationalism, the Seigneurial System, Ancien Régime customs, and Catholicism. It named itself the Order of Champlain, revering him as a mythical figure, and began to expand in order to claim its "rightful territory." By 2542 it came into conflict with a powerful realm based in Montreal leading to several skirmishes. Stalemate followed as the Order's superior population could not overcome superior technology which included advanced metallurgy and rudimentary arquebus'. Following several strong Viking raids against Montreal, the two sides negotiated a union in 2560 which would bring together their advantages. This created a powerful state which dominated the St Lawrence. For roughly the next hundred years it would expand in all directions while building up military and crafting technology.

I sometimes forget just how large some stuff is in the world. As long the Green Bay area is still mine I wont complain.

Finally it will be the FIBS who pay the tolls!
