Main Page (Superpowers)

Superpowers is a timeline which examines three separate PODs that ultimately result in fewer minor nations and instead a world dominated by great powers. Each of the divergences causes a nation on a completely different side of the planet than the others to maintain its regional dominance. The nation's in question are the Mayans, the Romans and the Mongols, all of which covered an extensive part of their own region in their heyday.

Modern World
It is the year 2000 AD, or more correctly, 2753 Ad Urbe Condita and the mighty city of Rome and its Empire still stand strong. The Roman Empire extends itself to every inhabited continent, two other planetary bodies and the asteroid field. Its Armed Forces are the most advanced and one of the largest in the world and its economy towers above all others. The international Alliance of Earth has already recovered from the last World War against the rise of socialism and is even now working on healing civil unrest in the defeated nations. Though the organization has a military of its own, its main purpose in these conflicts is to coordinate the armies of its member nations in their efforts, whilst only using its own armies as support units.

The only potential threat to this order is the Mongol World Empire, a massive nation covering most of Asia and with a military force that even makes Senators in Rome a little bit frightened. They have however been peaceful for some time now and even gave some aid in the defeat of the socialists. Nevertheless, their enormous size and strength is reason enough for the Alliance to fear them.

The most pressing conflicts at the moment are the Indinsulan Civil War in former and current Khmer territories, the Borealan Civil War in the far north of the Danish Imperium, the Columbian Reintegration Wars in the Mayan Conglomerate and of course the never-ending Middleafrican War, the most reason installment in the civil unrest of Roman Africa. Though none of these conflicts have their end in sight yet, the governments of the Alliance are more than capable of bringing them to a close in the near future.
