Aftermath of the Great War
Central Europe
Following the signing of the Treaty of Verdun, Francois seizing several western territories, and accepting full guilt for all the suffering and devastation of the Great War, The Empire was split into six separate nations.
The North Germanian Federation
The West Germanian Confederation
The South Germanian Union
The Grand Duchy of Marienburg
The United Provinces of Lothringia
The Ostrriech Federal State
Each state varies in stability and functionality by design. For example, the North Germanian Federation is the rgest of the Germanian successor states and was saddled with the rgest share of the crippling war reparations forced upon the Empire prior to its dissolvement. By contrast, the West Germanian Confederation was given the lion's share of the Empire's industrial heartnd, but was formed with a purposefully weak central government so it could never marshal its resources effectively against the Francois Republic. Each successor state had simir quirks to varying degrees of severity.
Beyond being shattered it is hoped that, divided as they are, the Germanian people will never again threaten the peace and stability of Europe.
Southern Europe/North Africa
Beyond war reparations, the Kingdom of Ildoa lost both Sardinia and Sicily to Francois occupation and had her north African colonies being seized by Albion and Francois. Radicalism is rampant in Ildoan politics and a deep sense of anger is being fermented by extremists parties who campaign on ptform of uniting all "Greater Ildoa's" territories.
Hispania has descended into a Warlord period with numerous cliques and warlords vying for complete control of the nation. Her colonies were also seized by Albion and Francois under the pretense of offering the colonies "Stewardship" until a "legitimate government" can establish itself.
Balkans
Most of the Empire's Balkan territories were consolidated into the multiethnic United Kingdom of Illyria. The only two territories that were not are Albanon, which formed its own independent kingdom, and Carpathia which was ceded to Dacia to create the Danubian Union of Dacia-Carpathia.
Magna Rumeli grumbles that it received no territorial gains from the war despite being attacked by Ildoa.
Eastern Europe
The Empire's eastern territories, along with several Russy provinces, were consolidated into the Federal Svic Union of Zapadosvia, a federal union of Svic states. The Baltic nation of Leituva was also incorporated due to historic Pon cims to the region.
The Empire of Russy (Tsardom of Russy) was reestablished following the communist retreat beyond the Urals. Though ciming dominion over all Russy, the current Tsar controls only the European portion of the Empire. The rest is split between the American backed Russy Commonwealth, who administer the former Akitsushima occupied portions of Russy prior to her capitution, and the rump communist Russy Federation still active in the Stepp.
Bizarrely, one Russy military official broke from the Federation and used his personal forces to establish a personal fiefdom within Cathy's frontier territory of Mungu called Zheltorossiya. What this madman has pnned from his seat in the Stepp is anyone's guess.
Asia
Finally, following the end of The Great War, Akitushima was stripped of her mainnd holdings in Cathy and Joseon, and has been subjected to an American occupation. Though the Emperor was allowed to keep his ceremonial position, real power rests in the hands of Military Governor Arthur McDougs, dubbed by the people he now administers as the "Gaijin Shogun".
Conclusion
The Great War was the single most devastating conflict in modern history. With millions dead and tens of millions left destitute, the victorious allied powers came together following the Treaty of Verdun to create an international body that would stop conflicts before they began: the Community of Nations. It is hoped that with the creation of this international forum that there shall truly be peace in our time.
