Description: Japanese girl cosplay as Motoko Kusanagi in manga Ghost in the Shell.
The planet, geopolitically, changed substantially after this war. Sovereign nations altered throughout the globe. Some merged while others fractured. Paranoia, not unlike the Cold War, developed across the planet and probably led to the larger, Non Nuclear Fourth World War, which fragmented the globe even more. However, through this turmoil, one country gained dominance. It emerged from WWIII bruised but stronger willed. World War IV further strengthened its resolve to be independent and powerful. In this future, the political game continues, more frantic than ever. The political map remains drawn in pencil. War seems on the verge of breaking out at each turn. Paranoia continues and countries fight to keep them safe. However, with the Internet totally out of one countryˇŻs control, a need arose to guard the virtual borders of a country as well as its physical ones. Some of the greatest threats to a nation reside not in the barrel of a gun, but in the transmissions in the air.
