Setting Blurb: (Major) Founding Members of the Corporate Empire
Texan-Virginian Alliance: An alliance created by the two most powerful post-American protostates in the South. The Texan Tribal Federation was formed by members of the New Tribal Movement wanting a radical reorganization of American society, and the Grand State of Virginia was a corporatist state created by an opportunistic Army officer escaping the collapse of the American government. The two protostates would begin talks following contact with each other during their respective campaigns to pacify the deep south. A proper alliance was formed following their now-joint campaign establishing client states between them. The new alliance went on to subjugate the rest of what used to be Canada and the United States (Texas in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, and Virginia in the Northeast and Great Lakes, respectively). Diplomatic missions were dispatched to see if there were like-minded groups elsewhere on the post-WWIII world. Slowly but surely, allies were found (or made) and what started as an alliance between the two post-American protostates would evolve into a global Empire.
West European Plurality: Much like the New Tribal Movement in the United States, the European New Right became more active during WWIII and the resulting societal collapse. During the Migratory Wars, elements of the New Right would secure territory in France and the Iberian Peninsula, and begin their project of building an ethnoplural European state (hence the name). What used to be France, Spain, and Portugal was weaved into a patchwork of pre and post-Roman territories. Gauls, Goths, and everything in between could be found in the "Plurality". It was around this time that the Texan-Virginian Alliance sent out their diplomatic feelers. Trade deals, and assurances of mutual aid and defense were made. Luckily for the West European Plurality, "mutual aid" included assistance with the pacification of Central and Northern Europe, and talks with the rising Tri-Rus' Confederation in the East.
Tri-Rus' Confederation: The Russians and Ukrainians would continue to hammer themselves during WWIII, and ultimately collapse like much of the world's governments. Belarus retained some measure of stability, and rise to become the leader of the eastern Slavic states. The Belarusian government began a campaign to engineer a united East Slav identity, inspired by the medieval Kievan Rus' and early modern Triune Russian ideology. This, coupled with the total fatigue among the Russians and Ukrainians, allowed for the "Triple-Rus'" project to continue without too many hiccups. Once their power base was sufficiently consolidated, the new Tri-Rus' Confederation expanded into the Baltics and Balkans to create allied buffer states in the event of contact with emerging adversaries. Instead of enemies, the Tri-Rus' found allies in the WEP and TVA. The Tri-Rus' would join the TVA and WEP in exchange for recognition as the hegemon of eastern and southeastern Europe.
Spring and Autumn Territory: Inspired by the works of Confucian thinker Jiang Qing, the Spring and Autumn Territory was created during the People's Republic of China's collapse at the end of WWIII. The Territory's leadership decided they would take their time "rightfully reclaiming" the rest of the Chinese mainland. They believed that the post-war period was just another period of time where China must be divided for a while. This was the time meant to build and demonstrate to the other post-PRC warlords that a government inspired by the Spring and Autumn Annals (hence their name) would be the one to reunite China. The aforementioned "while" would not last as long as expected, as the TVA's envoys arrived after their conquest of California and missions across the Pacific. Seeing themselves as kindred spirits, the Spring and Autumn Territory would join the TVA's growing global alliance, and began flexing their muscles to their neighbors. "Heaven's approval and lots of allies, get with the program." The Territory's "Way of Humane Authority" would serve as an inspiration for the Corporate Empire's own governing bodies.
West Arabian Emergency Coalition: The Gulf Arab states did not fare well as bystanders of WWIII. The resumed Iranian-Israeli and Indo-Pakistani conflicts ended up spilling over into the Shia and Kafala dominant regions of the Arabian Peninsula. The monarchies of Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and Qatar were overthrown, and their loyalists taking shelter in a battered Saudi Arabia. The Hashemite Monarchy, also caught in the crossfire of WWIII, would intervene and bring security to the western half of the peninsula (and secure their own position as leader of the peninsular Arabs). When the Israeli state exploded due to its fundamentalist Christian foreign fighters mutinying, the WEAC managed to secure control of Jerusalem and the Palestinian West Bank. The WAEC would also cooperate with the rump Ethiopian State to bring stability to the Red Sea and Horn of Africa. When the TVA reached Europe and the Mediterranean, the WEAC and its Ethiopian ally would begin a series of diplomatic talks with proxies in the Levant and what became of Egypt and Turkey.
Peru-Bolivia Confederation: The Ethnocacerist movement came to dominate Peruvian politics as the Eastern and Western powers (including Brazil and Argentina) evaporated from WWIII. The states of the central Andes, Peru and Bolivia, found themselves in a position where they were the most powerful in South America. Much like the Texans and Virginians, Peru and Bolivia allied-later united as the Plurinational Confederation-and set out to expand their influence on the continent. Alongside their military expeditions, the Confederation also sent diplomats to check in on the remains of the United States. The Peru-Bolivia Confederation was the first post-WWIII protostate beyond North America to establish relations with the Texan-Virginian Alliance.
Ethiopian State: Ethiopia lost its Somali-speaking region to its neighbor, but it survived the chaos of WWIII and retook Eritrea. The Ethiopian State rode out the Migratory Wars affecting the states of North Africa, Europe, and southwestern Asia. Keeping an eye on the post-collapse statelets in Somalia and Yemen, the Ethiopian State would jointly police the Red Sea with the West Arabian Emergency Coalition. When the WEAC made contact with the expanding TVA, Ethiopian diplomats were also dispatched to meet with the growing alliance. The Ethnic Federalist policies of pre-war Ethiopia served as an inspiration for both the Texan Tribal Federation and the West European Plurality founding movements, and would be a template for administering later acquisitions.
