World as of October 2033

North America

Relations between Canada and the United States are tense following some tumultuous years in the mid to late 2020’s but some of that relation has improved in more recent years as Camp Armstrong on the moon nears completion of their residential expansion as a prelude to construction of heavy industry for the nascent lunar state. Early lunar colonists are made up of predominately citizens from the United States, Canada, Mexico and they hope to be a rival for the work being done in Atlantis One and Atlantis Zero.

General sentiment across the three major nations of North America is one of resistance to the Ultrum Imperium, but, specifically the United States, are not in agreement with methods put forward by the UNJE instead pursuing their own defense initiatives for the future invasion. This has strained relations between the UNJE and the US government and potentially jeopardized joint operations in the region moving forward.

The revelation of the invasion has brought renewed focus on the Mexico City event as a potential first strike from the Ultrum Imperium and brought greater scrutiny on the UNJE and their war on the DCP. For now the DCP are still considered the culprits in the attack, but there is a growing tide that they may have been just used as a scapegoat.

South America

The southern continent has seen a resurgence in recent years, alongside the African Renaissance, the UNJE has committed resources to enhancing everyday life across the continent. But the biggest project to benefit the region is the construction of Atlantis One and Atlantis Zero, spearheaded by a trio of corporate entities; Dragao Energia out of Brazil, Hondores Steel based out of Ecuador, and Janus Robotics headquartered in Argentina. These three aligned with the UNJE were the main driving forces behind the construction of the city. With a large transient workforce predominately from China, Korea, and India.

Artificial Intelligence and robotics are the primary industries across the region with Janus Robotics leading the way, even as a relative newcomer the firm has blossomed into a premier provider for automated drones and maintenance units for industry and commercial enterprises. Buenos Aires is now known as the second silicon valley and competes with the United States for talent globally, both baseline and elite.
