Crazy, Crazy, Crazy: You're being stalked

The year is 2070. The world has been stuck in WW3 for forty years, propagated by three superpowers:

Europa, a military and governmental superpower comprising North and some of South America and Western Europe, was failing to care for its population. With widespread poverty and disease, pollution, and famine, a formerly rich and grand society clinging to the nostalgic iconography of totalitarian grandeur. They had all the land and no way to feed the people in it.

Europa is one of the three major Factions in The Forever Winter. Europan ground forces mostly consist of basic infantry like the Europan Soldier and Europan GRINN, but more heavily armed (and armored) infantry can be seen as well, such as the Europan EOD and Europan Bodyguard. Europa also fields a wide variety of vehicles, mechs, and drones, and unique units, such as the Europan Merkava Body Tank, Europan Tormentor, Europan Pyro, and Europan Red Baron Exo, are deployed to either shore up Europan forces or intimidate enemy forces.

Sometime in the 21st century, the Federation of Europa formed from a set of Western countries, though not all of its members joined voluntarily. Some were weary of the founding members, who would have more power than subsequent entrants into the federation. Anti-Europan riots quickly broke out in several cities across Europa, which quickly devolved into mass rioting and civil unrest. At the same time, Europa was struggling to deal with widespread poverty and disease (particularly in its megacities), and the superpower was competing with Eurasia for resources.

Eventually, Europa engaged in a nuclear war with Eurasia, and while Eurasia's major governmental centers and tactical satellites were destroyed (the latter of which created space debris that made it impossible for spacecraft and satellites to be safely launched into Earth's orbit), Europa's leadership was wiped out, and its long-range communications were lost. Over time, the initial interests and objectives of Europa's leaders were lost, making it unclear who the initial aggressor was when the war broke out. After the nuclear exchange, Europa invaded the Asian continent and Eastern Europe (which was controlled by Eurasia's ally, Euruska) but was simultaneously invaded by Eurasia and Euruska in the Americas. Specifically, the megacity of Lost Angels was attacked, starting the long war between Europa, Eurasia, and Euruska.

Eurasia, a global government and corporate superpower controlling East and some of Central Asia was extremely advanced in the sectors of bio and agro-tech. A rich and isolated false utopia, they have control over engineered crops that still grow in the planet's dying soil... but are quickly becoming a massively overpopulated coffin.

Eurasia is one of the three major Factions in The Forever Winter. Eurasian troops mostly consist of human-robot hybrids called Eurasian Cyborgs, ranging from the common, purely melee cyborg runner, to the steadfast and relentless Eurasian Brawler. The main infantry weapon of Eurasia is the P90 submachine gun, a destroyed variant of which can be retrieved from the corpse of a cyborg soldier. Eurasia is also dominant in the air with their Eurasian Choppers, wasp-like drones, and stealth planes deploying cyborgs from racks across the Elephant Mausoleum.

Sometime in the 21st century, Eurasia, a technologically advanced, dystopian serfdom, was strapped for resources due to its massive population, and the superpower was at Europa's throat. When tensions boiled over, Eurasia fired ICBMs at Europa's major governmental centers in what could be considered the opening salvo of the war; nuclear weapons were also fired at Europa's tactical satellites, creating space debris that makes it all but impossible for spacecraft and satellites to be launched safely into orbit. However, Eurasia's political leadership was wiped out and long-distance communications were lost due to Europa's nuclear response, and the initial interests and objectives of Eurasia's leaders were lost over time. In the meantime, Eurasia, alongside its ally, Euruska, invaded the Americas, including the megacity of Lost Angels on the West Coast of the former United States, at the same time that Europa invaded the Asian continent, kickstarting the long war that is the subject of The Forever Winter.

Civilian life in Eurasia remains marred by sky-high wealth inequality, police brutality, and involuntary conscription, the latter of which disproportionately affects Eurasia's poorest citizens, immigrants, and refugees. This conscription involves forced augmentation into cyborgs, which leaves conscripts with their sentience and self-awareness but strips them of their autonomy and self-control in favor of orders to kill Eurasia's enemies and fulfill Eurasia's aggressive frontline strategy. Successful completion of this objective rewards cyborgs with the maintenance needed to keep them alive.

Euruska is one of the three major Factions in The Forever Winter. Euruskan troops are small in variety: Euruskan Infantry and Euruskan Riders are the most common infantry, while rarer infantry, such as the Euruskan Sniper, are deployed for specific tasks. Euruska also deploys heavy units, such as the Euruskan Medium Mech, Euruskan Toothy Mech, and Euruskan Grabber, alongside its ground forces.

Nue leaned in, almost bending over as her massive face studied you. A breath, so rancid from eating many Scavs that stayed in the open too long, escapes her open mouth. She rose, grabbing you in her massive hand and walking away from the Scorched Enclave towards Lost Angel's sewer network, well, one of the thousands of entrances at least.
