World (Battle of Belusium)

In this world, the major point of divergence was an Egyptian victory over the Persians at the Battle of Belusium. As a result, it survived far longer, which in turn, attributed to the extended survival of other civlizations.

Nations
Many, but not all, of this world, are ancient, long lasting, and deeply rooted. Imperialism, is still a common practice, and though it is not as utlizied as it was in ancient times, there is still a belief that in order for a country to survive, it must not be allowed to become weak in anyway.

Unlike our world, there are only 14 nations in the world, as smaller ones either got swallowed up by the major ones, such as Egypt, Rome, or China; others had to band together to prevent exactly that. A couple, such as Japan, or Azteca, managed to repel the invading forces of China and Rome respectively, and managed to retain their independence, though whereas the Aztecs forged a large empire, the Japanese were initially unable to complete with the Chinese. The most recently formed, nations are the Free African Union, which was formed out out of a coalition of smaller African nations to resist Egyptian and Ghanese expansion, and the Untied Islamic Republic, which was formed out of a combination of Islamic states.
