The Deluge: Difference between revisions

At the dawn of the 21st century, many of the global powers that would come to be engaged in [[Crona]] had relatively limited influence and presence in the region. Beginning in the east, [[Kiravia]]'s [[Mid Atrassic Crona]] territories were limited in scope to the island of [[Atrassica]] itself and some small coastal ports adjacent to it in nominal [[Alpachnee]] territory. On the [[Nysdra Sea]], [[Corumm]] possessed [[Cao]] and a relatively small amount of land in what would become [[Xisheng]]. In [[Cusinaut]], [[Urcea]] possessed the small [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]] and also exercised limited control over the [[League of Nations]] mandate of [[Venua'tino]] on the northern coast of the Nysdra. New Harren was bordered by [[Porfíria]] to the west. To the south, [[Alstin]] had existed as a full-fledged Occidental colonial nation since the 16th century, but exercised a relatively limited buffer zone on the Cronan mainland. All of these possessions were relatively obscure or remote parts of their respective countries. Crona had long been anchored in stability with the [[Northern Confederation]] dominating [[Cusinaut]] and [[Varshan]] exercising control of some variety practically over the entire continent. The coming decline and fall of the Northern Confederation would have a dramatic effect on Cronan geopolitics that would, in time, drag most of the Occidental world into major military conflict in Crona and inaugurate the bloodiest armed conflict since the [[Second Great War]].
