12 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: (YoungMarxist): Here - Flick
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: The United States would like to pledge eternal friendship to all nations on Earth. We seek no wars, only peace as we rebuild from the devastation of WW3.
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: Brazil would like to say hi to all the nations of our great shared world
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: Hello world!!
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: Russia says you no invade us and we no destroy you.
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: *West Canada Looks at the lack of Russia in Siberia*

Destruction sounds epic.
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: The Quebecois pledge to restore the legacy of Nouville France... given as France is looking decidedly unhealthy these days. We will take this time to decide which ruling ideology will be our guiding principle. Snotty Frenchness was already taken...
18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: In the ruins of the White House the bunker that housed the former President, Donald Trump has been found. After the North Korean victory in World War Three, there was little for Trump to do so the people decided it best just to cut off his air supply and let nature take its course on the soon to be forgotten First Family.

Only his campaign slogan now lives on under the new egalitarian regime. Lets Make America Great Again!

18 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: ... I feel like that wasn't supposed to happen twice. Wot
19 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: *On a podium in the blasted remains of Mexico City, both from the calamity of global war and the wars that followed for Mexico's future, the new Emperor of the Third Mexican Empire stands tall before his people. He leans quietly on the podium, before opening his eyes and speaks:*

"In the chaos of the old world, our great land had suffered at the hands of the foolish leaders who led this great nation blind, as it suffered at the hands of cartels who cared little for the people and at the hands of the foreign companies who sought to rape our land of the natural wealth. Now, through the fires of nuclear war and the bloodshed, we have found ourselves at the juncture of history that many great leaders have found themselves before. I could take us down the path of timidity and allow ourselves to return to the mediocrity that many would enjoy us. Or, I can take us down the path of destiny, one made with fire, blood and bravery. I say, as your Emperor, that we have chosen the right path as we cry that new chant that echoes throughout our lands and all the coming lands of our Empire:

Viva la resurgimiento!
Viva la reconquista!
Viva la Mexico!"

It is a cry that echoes into the night, as even the heavens know that Mexico marches to its destiny.
20 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: Meanwhile, in Quebec, people try desperately to change the channel but for some reason the corporate overlords won't stop playing angsty Mexican speeches on repeat. Apparently this is what happens when the media in Quebec are profit-driven entities...
23 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: The Imperial Palace in Kyoto has been razed. The last of the Japanese Emperor’s eaten by the starving and savaged people he foolishly led into yet another war. A Revolution was the only way the war in Japan could end, and the new government have pledged to crush imperialism wherever it exists.

The message to the rest of the world is simple.

Peace, or total and utter destruction.
24 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: *insert speech*
25 Feb 18 UTC Spring, 2101: When the bombs fell, many described it as the end of the world...

Maybe that is so elsewhere, but here, in Arabia, nothing has changed.

Whether the deserts are sand or glass, the lands of Arabia are still a harsh and holy land.

Whether men ride to war in gunships or on horseback, they remain the sword of the prophet, staging the eternal Jihad in defence of the lands of Islam.

The things that are gone are the trivial and pointless things. Do not dwell on them.

Recall instead that for all mankind has suffered, for all that have died, and for all that has been destroyed, still the voices of the pious declare an eternal truth from Riyadh and across the world:

"lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh muḥammadun rasūlu llāh!"

Let that truth never fade, no matter how dark the times.
03 Mar 18 UTC Autumn, 2101: [India]:Having a curry with another friend who can’t eat rice. He’s basmatic.
03 Mar 18 UTC Autumn, 2101: [United-States]:The Dictator of the Republic strode out onto the rostrum built on the grounds of the ruined Capitol building in Washington DC. A Capitol building that was being rebuilt. The crowd of luminaries including Generals, Admirals, Businessmen and politicians from the Reformed Congress, along with many of the average citizenry hushed in anticipation of the address about to be made.

'My fellow Americans. The United States has faced adversaries and many trials over its long proud history, yet it still stands here today, in this shattered world, a beacon of the hope it once helped spread. While the days of our past greatness now lie 81 years in the past, lost in the insanity of the former Trump administration and showing once and for all the folly of unrestrained democracy, the scars of the last 81 years in the shattered hellscape World War Three left us have also begun to heal.

With this in mind, I have ordered the Reformed American Army and Navy Chiefs to commence the first round of operations in finally securing the Eastern seaboard of the former United States under our flag once more. Furthermore, due to its strategic position, Bermuda, once a British colony, will also be incorporated into the Reformed Union.

As Dictator of the Republic, I have served humbly in this position for many years. I can tell you, NOW is the time to strike. Already armies and navies from various other surviving nations around the globe are on the march. America's destiny awaits, and its future or lack thereof will be decided in the coming years and decades as a result. We cannot be like those who followed Trump, into insanity. We must truly make American Great Again!'

The crowd was cheering wildly. Ever since the calamity of World War Three, the idea of democracy was demonized within the remnants of the United States, seeing the issues inherent in allowing the unqualified unrestricted onions and translating those opinions into decisions for leadership. The issue had been inherent for years, ever since the Kennedy campaign of the '60s, TV candidates were often the only ones popular enough with the masses to be viable. Reagan led the country into the abyss economically, Trump eventually led the country and the world into the abyss of nuclear war.

After the successive years of collapse, after the Union was forced to accept the independence of the Central States, Texas and California, and see much of its other former territories also renounce the Union or be lost due to distance and lack of resources, the democracy which had survived the blast under the first post-war Presidency of Bernie Sanders, who coincidentally had been elected the month prior to the outbreak of World War Three, began to break down. President Sanders himself was assassinated in 2023, three and a half years after the nuclear exchange changed the world forever, and the military took control of the Republic, with retired General Pretarus taking the role as 'First Dictator of the Republic' and eventually step-father to the nation.

General Pretarus served ably in that role for 15 years before retiring due to ill health to his country house in Pennsylvania. The role had since alternated between army and navy chiefs, with the air force effectively reabsorbed into these two branches over successive administrations. The people over time came to trust in the Dictatorship and the Reformed Republic of the United States of America and came to see the former constitution as nothing more but a scrap of paper that led to their ultimate destruction.

Over time the Congress was reformed as an advisory body to the true repositories of legislative and judicial power within the Reformed Republic, the 'Supreme American Military Council'. All legislation passed by Congress, must be approved not only by the Dictator, but also can be amended in any manner by the SAMC. The Democrats and Republicans of the past were also, over time, abolished, replaced by the political parties of today, both of which are controlled by the military. The Manifest Destiny party tended to favour the army more than the navy while the New Order Party was more the naval friendly party. Both of which shared power largely equally by Dictator's decree, and by the methods of enfranchisement, which restricted those within the population who could vote. Through this, the civilian follies of the past had been avoided and the United States of America had endured.

All of this went through the Dictator's mind in a mere few seconds while those in the crowd had begun chanting his name. 'Lee, Lee, Lee!' The cheers warmed him. Apparently he had a great ancestor who had ably led a rebellious army during the First Civil War, and had been remembered fondly. Needless to say, many details of American history including the former Civil War were largely forgotten with the collapse of public education following World War Three. That his ancestor had proved an able strategist however had not been. Unbelievably the war had been about something as common and inconsequential as slavery. Lee didn't know any nation in the world today which didn't enslave populations to make the machinery of civilization work in this shattered hellscape left by their collective ancestors.

He came back to himself, and held up his hands to gain the silence he sought from the adoring crowd. 'Americans, our destiny awaits. Let us take it!' The crowd erupted again into fevered cheers, as Lee stalked off the stage. He had the next round of operations to plan.
