It has been a little over a month since the Alien War as it has become known. Little is really known about all the players in this game by the general populace, but a few things have managed to circulate through the cells of Omega and the survivors thanks to the slow reestablishment of the internet.
The premier cell of Omega, The Dark Legion, managed to recruit another alien race from somewhere in the universe and convince them to attack the V'sori fleet in orbit, as well as launch an invading force against their strongholds on Earth. Simultaneously, all the other Omega Cells began rising up and taking out strategic targets of their own, and after several days of furious fighting, the majority of the V'sori and K'tharen forces were broken and defeated, forced to surrender.
However, the world is not entirely free. Not yet. Not by a long shot. The world is attempting to rebuild, but with the human governments of the world having been crushed long ago, it has become a power-grab in many parts of the world, resulting in scenes of chaos, anarchy, and bloodshed...
North America: With the fall of the V'sori taskmasters, and the lack of a surviving government, most of North America has fallen into chaos, with a few exceptions. East of the Mississippi River, the northern states attempted to regroup into the United States with relative ease, though the southern states took this opportunity to reestablish themselves as the Confederacy. The land south of and including the states formerly known as North Carolina and Tennessee have all joined these states, and with little armed forces left to oppose them, the Union has little choice but to let these states go for now.
There were bigger issues to concern themselves with. Texas has established itself as a sovereign nation once again, but everything else West of the Mississippi and East of the Rocky Mountains has fallen into utter chaos and mayhem. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence, as road gangs, Omega Cells, and alien hold outs all vie for territory and power.
The land West of the Rocky Mountains have organized themselves into the Republic of California, under the leadership of the one surviving member of the Dark Legion to remain: Titan. He and those loyal to him have managed to protect the people of the West Coast, so far.
Canada has, strangely enough, managed to reorganize itself rather quickly, as well as absorb Alaska into its borders as a new territory.
Mexico has been absorbed into the territory of New Maya (see Central and South America below...).
Atlantis: The surviving Atlanteans that had been in hiding worldwide came together soon after the Alien War and made a concentrated effort to retake their submerged homeland. After weeks of violent conflict, they managed to succeed. They have returned to their insular ways, and have yet to allow anyone not of at least partial Atlantean heritage to enter their territory.
Central and South America: This was the first and easiest outpost of V'sori control to fall to resistance groups. The forces here, upon realizing the true extent of the assault being launched against them, almost entirely abandoned this territory in an attempt to reinforce their forces in North America, Star City, and in space. Since then, the leader of the resistance there, El Gigante, has begun organizing the surviving tribes and cells that choose to stay there into what he calls "New Maya."
Western Europe: The mainland of Western Europe has become the domain of the Dro'gor, the four-armed alien people of Dark Legion member "The Maw." After breaking the V'sori space fleet, their invading forces eventually established a stronghold in Berlin, and began claiming territory from the V'sori and local population at an astonishing rate. Their methods were ruthless, and have caused most of the local surviving resistance groups to focus their attentions on thwarting these new invaders.
The one place that has managed to thwart them regularly and reclaim their homeland are the people of the United Kingdom, who, strangely enough, have found a "new" king to rally behind. As the Dro'gor began to claim portions of the island nation, they were met by a man claiming to be the legendary King Arthur himself, and a retinue of warriors at his side. Someone even claiming the name of Merlin was among them, and together, they managed to push the Dro'gor out of the island and keep them out. London has begun to be rebuilt under the mantle of King Pendragon, and his Knights of the Round Table have proven to be enough to keep any who would threaten the nation at bay. It is, perhaps, the one last bastion of true heroism surviving in the world today.
Middle East: As soon as the alien overlords fell, so too did the conflict in the Middle East renew itself with a fury. Black Scorpion was killed during the initial pitched fights between Arabs and Israelis, and the newest chapter in the Holy Wars has apparently only just begun...
Asia: With the major governments splintered, it was going to take a strong hand to organize the various cultures and beliefs of this massive continent into a unified people. That has been provided by a previously unknown superhuman calling himself "The Bear." He has reclaimed the lands of the USSR, and absorbed almost the entirety of the mainland of Asia under his command, with the unwavering loyalty of the former KGB and other Russian Omega cells at his side.
Japan: The ancient island nation has been turned into little more than a territory for the powerful crime family, The Yakuza. Nothing is done in their borders that they don't approve of, for if it does, the perpetrator is usually found on grizzly display somewhere public the following morning...
Africa: Africa has been reclaimed by its numerous cultures. The upper portions of the continent are now claimed by Egypt, which has seemingly reverted to the service of pharaohs, namely a superhuman that claims to be Heru returned to see his people restored.
The central and southern savannas have fallen under the domain of the Zulu, who have found ancient magics that helped them fight the V'sori during their occupation, but now help them against any invading Dro'gor or Omega Cell looking to carve out a claim of their ancient lands. The only part of Africa that has not been claimed as of yet, it would seem, is the Congo, yet the reason remains unknown...
Australia: Unfortunately for the people of Australia, this became the final bastion of V'sori and K'tharen power on the planet. The aliens dug in fiercely here, and installed powerful batteries of guns capable of defending the island continent from any Dro'gor ship that approaches their airspace, including ships in orbit. To insure a true stranglehold on the territory, the aliens systematically exterminated every other living sentient soul on the continent in a brutal, bloody crusade. Thus far, their claim on the continent is unwavering.
