Monopolisation of resources, baby.

Turn VII

The world has seen a number of new developments.
The Italian and Cool Kid nations have collapsed. Italy, once poised for greatness after seizing the Western Mediterranean, disintegrated due to a lack of effective leadership. The Cool Kids, meanwhile, imploded at just the right time - a swift invasion by the Dark Empire followed, easily picking up the anarchy-torn region.
Sinhala has continued expansion in North Africa, though has left East Africa to its devices - the Maqrok and Zulu Empires. Whether this will erupt into war has yet to be seen.
The Lord Raiju has talked very toughly to Coruscant despite the latter's stronger economy, slandering the discipline of its intelligence agency and the level of militarisation of its society. It has also demonstrated a strange economic system, rejecting both the equality of socialism and the pointless developments of capitalism. It stands as a third economic system, one based on the military and one's needs rather than wants. Strains of feudalism are apparent in the incredibly militaristic and tradition-based society, as are strains of fascism, given the fact it is hard to tell where the government ends and private enterprise begins.
Perhaps the most pressing issue globally is the emergence of a new Cold War. The Global Alliance of Socialism, or GAS, has unified Russia, S.U.D.S, and the Zulu against the Australians and New Kinichikians, vehement defenders of capitalism.
The Middle East was the sight of brief skirmishes between the Raiju and Assassin Brotherhood. Whether it will escalate into war remains to be seen; the Assassins briefly had to conflict with another hopeful empire, Israel, but the leadership has been dismantled. Around the same time, a new state, nameless but representing the former Austrian Empire in geography, has arisen in Europe.
