Abyss Seal - The Necroid Haven
Once a hub of scientific experimentation, the Abyss Seal is now a dark and twisted realm ruled by the Necroids. The remnants of the Bio-Perfecter Researchers' laboratories are filled with eerie bioluminescent flora and the haunting echoes of their failed experiments. The Necroids, now a formidable force, have transformed the facility into a fortress, where they plot their expansion into the cosmos, seeking to convert all life into their own kind.
Africa
Historically considered the birthplace and cradle of Humanity, the African continent comprises of many countries and many biomes and has long been a place exploited by more industrial super powers for their vast resources and minerals. To the north and northwest, you have the vast Sahara desert. The central and southern portions of the continent fluctuate between vast savannahs and jungle. The (mostly) united people of Africa, forming the African Union, have managed to keep most of the conflict with the BETA to the northeastern corner, pushing into the Middle-East of the Asian continent and creating a defense line at the Suez Canal, around the southern Mediterranean Sea, and along the Red Sea. To this end, they often work closely with the country of Egypt and the Middle-Eastern Coalition in that region.
Alaska
Alaska is comparable to the European country of Germany, post World War 2, in that it is split rather evenly between the Soviet Russians of USSR, and NATO (the military arm of the UN). The Russians maintain autonomy of the northwest, and the UN and NATO operate in the east and to the south. Fairly remote, there are a few sparse towns and cities, mostly built near military installations. While the Soviet's are extremely territorial and paranoid when it comes to their state secrets, they do share and allow the use of the land, albeit with heavy distrust and a mutual assurance of defense should the BETA approach from the soviet mainlands across the Berring Strait, if the Manchurian Frontline (manned by every other soviet nationality) should be decimated or bypassed.
Canada
Most of the poplulation centers of Canada are along the border with the USA, with several standouts near major waterways. Canada is mostly a vast expanse of temperate forest, frosty tundra, and evergreen wilderness, with glaciers and frozen islands breaking off the land to the north. They share a close bond through their colonial roots with both the United Kingdom and France, housing refugees from both respective countries as well as others, going so far as to allow regions for the foreign nations' provisional governments to coordinate from. Large swaths of the western territories, especially around Athabasca in Saskatchewan province, have been rendered uninhabitable for many years following the attempted BETA landing in 1974 and subsequent nuclear strikes by the USA. These strikes, while ultimately removing the threat of the BETA from the entirety of the western hemisphere, has significantly scarred relations between Canada and the United States.
Central America
The largest country of Central America is Mexico, an arid and dry country with tropics and forested areas as you move south. Of note here, is the Panama Canal to the southernmost end (In the country of Panama), used to expedite logistical movements from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Diversity Equalizer Necroids Technocracy
Born from dark experiments by multi-species scientists known as the Bio-Perfecter Researchers (BPR), the Necroids emerged on the ocean planet Abyss Seal, orbiting a black hole. Once semi-sapient sea creatures, they were uplifted and enhanced to be a perfected species. But the experiment went too far. The Necroids evolved rapidly, gaining the terrifying ability to absorb other sentient beings and convert them into their own kind. Alarmed, the BPR tried to shut them down—too late. A few Necroids escaped. Hiding in the shadows, they built their numbers and technology in secret. By the time the BPR realized, the Necroids had already taken the planet. Their creators were purged in brutal uprisings. Now, with fleets of nanotech battleships, magical mecha, and divine powered spacecraft, the Necroids are ready to claim the stars.
Europe
The European continent is a historically rich melting pot of different countries and cultures. Or, it was. Since the BETA invasion, all of mainland Europe has since been lost. The end of World War 2, with the atomic bombing of Germany, split the continent into two major factions before the discovery and developing conflict with the BETA, the UN's NATO and the Warsaw PACT (led by the Soviet Union). Political tensions and mutual distrust meant that the rival powers, while ultimately reliant on one another, often failed to yield important mission info and sometimes actively sabotaging the efforts of the other. The inability to move past petty ideological squabbles led to the ultimate loss of the European mainland. This has left most of the fallen European nations' forces to be folded into the UN's military. What used to be a sprawl of cities, historical towns and different locales have all been left to ruins, now a barren wasteland with Hives of various stages scattering the land.
Gorthikan Alliance
Chaos was once ubiquitous among the Gorthikans. War, tyranny, and a more unstable than usual climate combined to forge a species which is very adept at making the best of a bad situation. Until only a few decades ago, low-scale conflict between a plurality of Gorthikan states was an ever-present state of affairs. As their civilization rapidly but uncomfortably progressed into the age of high technology, an underworld developed where regular Gorthikans would scavenge for a living and even splice in dangerous home brew gene cocktails in the search for a competitive advantage. It is from that underworld that change came. Although cutthroat, it was far more egalitarian than Gorthikan high society - after all, everyone knew that fortune today could precede misfortune tomorrow. So when the idea of popular governance emerged, it rapidly took hold, spreading like wildfire. Before long, tyranny was overthrown and a "Gorthikan Alliance" of local constituencies was established.
Greenland
Greenland is an arctic island nation near the northernmost point of the earth. While normally unaffected, the ongoing war with the BETA has wreaked such havoc on global meteorology that much of the ice caps and glaciers have thawed, creating a massive resevoir in the middle of the island. Nearly all the settled cities are on the southern coast, and the few inland settlements can be attributed to refugees and officials from fallen Baltic and Scandinavian nations.
Indonesian Achepelago
A collection of islands near the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, they are on the frontlines of the BETA invasion. Vietnam is partly contested with a well established beachhead into BETA territory, while Malaysia and Singapore have been mostly successful in retaining their territories. There are a plethora of multinational military bases all throughout these islands, mostly operating from the naval bases from the last major human conflict, World War 2. While remnants of larger Asian nations' militaries aid in defense of the battlelines, this front particularly relies on mercenary assistance in direct actions.
Shardvoid Galaxy
Once a thriving Galactic Community, the Shardvoid Galaxy is now a chaotic battleground where desperate factions, rogue AI sects, and post-organic empires clash. These entities hail from different dimensions and realms, all under the watchful gaze of powerful celestials and deities beyond mortal comprehension.
South America
Benefitting from the United States' decisive nuking of the 2nd Hive in Canada, the continents of the western hemisphere have been relatively safe and untouched by the BETA. South America is comprised of many countries. Along its western spine, it has a great mountain range, flowing almost to the southern most tip. The largest country is Brazil, it's borders cutting well into the center of the continent and taking up a sizable coastal area to the east, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Most of South America is comprised of tropical rainforest and tropical wetlands, but there are some locations like in the northwest, that have broad saltflats. Some South American nations have joined the UN, utilizing their natural resources for global aid, but others are extremely insular.
Underworld Space
A shadowy expanse of the cosmos dominated by a notorious outlaw organization known as the Black Nebula Cartel. This area is rife with hidden bases, smuggler routes, and treacherous hyperlanes, where lawlessness reigns and danger lurks at every turn.
United States of America (USA)
The USA is the central country of North America. Coming out of World War 2, America was poised to become the next major world super power, it's economic and industrial might carrying it into the new age, but upon leading the space race and discovering the BETA on Mars, and fighting them on the moon before they made landfall, they've become insular in their politics. After watching China's massive army lose ground and its neighboring countries getting pressured in a matter of weeks, when the second BETA Hive landed in Canada, the country to the north, they hit it with a preemptive nuclear strike, destroying the Hive, but irreparably damaging their relations with their northern neighbors. The USA is responsible for the invention and proliferation of Tactical Surface Fighters (TSFs), the mechs used to combat the BETA. The main headquarters of the United Nations (UN) is based here.
