Diversa Pars (Map Game)

Welcome!
Welcome to the Diversa Pars map game! In Latin, diversa pars means the reverse side, and that is what this map game is all about. Basically, everything is exactly as it is in our timeline, except for items referencing history. Every nation and place exists, and acts the same as in OTL. However, it is our job to explain how these countries were formed, and what came before them. For example, say the city of Brasilia is the capital of Brazil because the former capital was destroyed in a war and is now swallowed up by the coastal Brazilian rainforest. If you claim a year, you have to explain the events happening that year, and why they happened. If you end a war in your turn, then the person with the previous year has to explain what happens in that war. To claim a turn, just add yourself to the list. If you are planning on claiming in the future, or are playing already, add yourself to the players list.

2014
Americas
 * After many months of turmoil in the region, Texas and Louisiana are finally admitted as states.

Africa

 * The protests in Somalia stop.

Europe
 * The Russian Federation finally recognizes Belarus, and gives them their claims on Western Russia.
 * Estonia joins the EU.

Asia and Australia
 * The Central Asian Union collapses into three states (Uzbekistan, Kyrgystan, and Tajikistan).

2013
Americas
 * American forces remain in occupation of Texas and Louisiana. The defeated remnants of the Texan Republic flee to Mexico.

Africa
 * The ceasefire survives the year intact in Darfur.
 * The Somalian Transitional Federal Government, only recently restored to power, is forced to put down Islamist protestors in Mogadishu with armed force, killing six.
 * The Movement for a Democratic Congo seizes Elizabethville, sending Zairian forces reeling east in chaos.

Europe
 * Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania halve their reliance on Russian natural gas as the new Riga import terminal comes into operation.
 * The extreme-right Nationalist Party wins the second-largest block of seats in Denmark, shocking pundits.
 * A flight is blown up over the Mediterranean flying between Bari and Athens. The Greek government blames Turkish Cypriot terrorists.

Asia and Australia
 * Tensions rise in the Central Asian Union between various ethnicities, with all electoral candidates proposing its division. Predictably, secessionist parties win the elections.



2012
Americas
 * American forces begin to quell the last of the Texan Republic forces in southern Texas.
 * Paraguay is the last nation of the former Patagonia (now Argentina), to leave its influence following in Bolivia and Uruguay's steps after the devastating South American War.

Africa
 * Africa continues to be war torn and troublesome.

Europe
 * Greece is finally admitted back into the European Union after quelling the Communist revolution within the nation.

Asia and Australia
 * US forces begin to pull out of Afghanistan after a five year long peace keeping mission to destroy the various terrorist groups vying for power within the region.



2011
Americas
 * The already-battered remnants of the Texas Republic, a diverse mix of various Native American tribes such as the Comanche, Apache, and Natchez with a few whites scattered in are decisively defeated at the Battle of San Antonio, in the bombed out ruins of the once thriving city. The High Chairman of the Republic was executed by American troops. The scattered remnants of the Republic retreat into the deserts of Western and Southern Texas to wreck havoc, via guerrilla warfare, on the advancing American force.
 * President Peter Johnson of the Republican-Nationalist party of the United States suffers a major popularity loss when the American populace hears of war crimes in occupied Texas. Old cries revived of "War Hawk" ring out amongst the more liberal members of the States, while his chances for re-election become almost nil as the up-and coming Democrat politician Barack Obama gains popularity in the States.
 * In a startling move, Alaska votes in a referendum to secede from the Commonwealth and join the up-and-coming United States. The Oswaldian policies of the now-defunct Brythonic Imperium of yore have left a bad taste in the mouth of Commonwealth members after the War of the Alliances, and it is another nail in the coffin of the Commonwealth, the failing successor to the Imperium.

Africa
 * Darfur is annexed by the Republic of Sudan after the capital city of Al-Dashir is bombed to the ground, forcing the rebels to accept total defeat. Government officials in Khartoum plan the next resurgence of Sudan, the successor state to the Kushite Empire.
 * After years of war in chaos in yet another ex-territory of the Kushite Empire, the Somalian Transitional Federal Government is created to help quell the anarchy in the region. The operation is criticized as an effort to provide Oswaldian war criminals a safe haven in a remote corner of the globe.
 * Tensions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo heat up after its earlier decolonization by Portugal.

Europe
 * Belorussian freedom fighters win back the western half of their proposed country and it is recognized by most nations of the French-aligned European Union.

Asia and Australia
 * Afghanistan leaves the Central Asian Union and a heavy American military presence is established there to prevent Communist, Oswaldian and anarcho-capitalist rebels from arising there again.
