“Oh god... Please... Tell me this is a bad dream...” NORAD operator 1982

1982
Two military exercise of massive scales and border incidents lead to the unthinkable. In less than a month the world is only a ghost of its former self.
1984
Two years later...
As the nuclear winter is approaching, the remnant of human civilization, from the American leadership seizing South America and Canada, to the Soviets revitalizing control of the Middle East people, and the Union of Europe finding its own path at home, desperately attempt to flee earth using one-way dimensional portal. Hoping to find a habitable place and peace.

Landfall is turbulent, and as one historian puts it, the land is on the verge of multiple world wars.

With advanced technology the natives haven’t even dreamed of, colossal fleets of warships, and revitalized military industrial complex’s, the Human nations each must prepare for the tempest, to reach the calm.

The Union of European nations of made of necessity and desperation. Clung onto ways of freedom that dominated Europe and not held back by their pacifism, Europe is a prime candidate to become a superpower... if it can survive that long that is. With Threats and powers that they can take, but not all at once, they must plan, mastermind, manipulate and control all they can. For after all, the members of Europe were home to the strongest nations on Earth.
