Extension War (SWM)

The Extension War (commonly abbreviated to WWII+) is a global war that started at the end of the Second World War in 1945, and continues to date. The Extension War was so named because it is widely considered to be a mere extension of World War II which precedes it, but contrary to that war, WWII+ is considered mostly a "cold war". The major blocs at conflict with one another can be described broadly as "Fascist" forces, centered around Canada and Germany and their allies, "Progressive" forces, centered around the United States and its allies, and the "Communist" forces, centered around the Soviet Union and its allies.

The Extension War encompasses various regional conflicts, often described as proxy wars between the three blocs, however there has as a general rule not been large-scale fighting between the major powers. In fact, none of the major powers are officially at war. Almost every nation in the world is somehow involved in the war, with regional conflicts and proxy wars taking place in every theater of the planet, including Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.
