Odium Mundi

Odium Mundi (Latin for "Hatred of the World") is a personal conworld developed by Vivaporius. It takes place in the same Earth we all know, but radically different. There are only twenty nations in the world, each of which belong to five powerful political blocs that now dominate the world. All are roughly equal militarily, politically, and economically, and maintain the current global balance of power. However, most are usually out-classed by one or two of the others.

Nations of Odium Mundi

 * Hurian Federation: The undisputed military power of the world, the Hurian Federation has been a leading global superpower since 1954, and is the leader of the African Brotherhood. It isolates itself from its allies, seeking to avoid being drawn into conflicts that do not benefit the long-term goals of the Federation.
 * Republic of New Afrika: The economic leader of the African Brotherhood, the Republic of New Afrika has been the bank-roller of the Brotherhood's many military campaigns against the Alliance for Human Progress. It has been known throughout the world as an agressive corporate democracy that puts its economic goals first.
 * United States of Africa: The least agressive of the Brotherhood nations, the United States of Africa have made it an unspoken rule to avoid getting into conflicts as the agressor, but only as the supporter of allied forces. This has allowed the nation to grow unhindered as an industrial power while its allies handle the actual killing.
 * Union of Columbia: A very much discredited rump state of what use to be the United States of America, the Union of Columbia is a radical liberal nation that overthrew the "corrupt and senseless corporate America". It is considered more of a pest and annoyance by most of the nations in the war, and the warhawk of the Alliance for Human Progress.
 * Federation of Europa: The leading member of the Alliance for Human Progress, the Federation of Europa is the economic superpower of the world, and the only nation known to actively seek to destroy Huria. It was formed in 1954 specifically to counter the power gained overnight by Huria.
 * Baltic Republic: The smallest member of the AHP, the Baltic Republic has been faced with possible invasion by the Commonwealth of Soviet Republics. The small republic is heavily contested by Europa and the CSR, both of whom seek to control trade in the Baltic Ocean.

African Brotherhood
Currently the dominate political bloc on Earth, the African Brotherhood was founded on the grounds of uniting the black African nations and tribal kingdoms together as one, and fight as one against the slavery, exploitation, and cultural destruction of their people. The goals were accomplished many decades ago, but the resulting political, economical, and military power gained from those efforts left the bloc with enough power to both make demands and enforce them. With New Afrikan coffers, African factories, and Hurian armies, the Brotherhood remains the dominate force in the world.
