Following the armistice that concluded the Third World War, the initial alliances between nations were forged in the aftermath of territorial agreements, leading to the formation of the Reunified Nations and global politics. This alliance embodies the pinnacle of international military might, heralding an era of "utopian peace" under a unifying banner. In the early days of this new epoch, a cadre of leaders shared command over this global dominion. However, over time, Harkan Varlo seized ultimate control, establishing an iron grip on population management through birth control measures, while embedding an anthroparchic and cybercratic system.
Under Varlo's stewardship, a vast propaganda campaign unfolded, penetrating the elite, educational systems, and scientific communities to solidify his neo-feudal power and avert the civilization's predicted collapse. Through an unprecedented energy dictatorship, the Unified Nations stratify society, impoverishing the masses while exacerbating crises of overpopulation, mismanagement, and corruption, with corporations exploiting globalization to erode national sovereignty and self-determination.
This deterioration leads the U.N. to initiate military campaigns against the Therianthropes, aiming to annex Antarctica, the new geopolitical chessboard. Armed with technological advancements, the U.N. establishes a global military dictatorship, intent on eradicating the Therianthrope threat.
The world, though ostensibly politically independent, is now under the iron-clad order of a relentless military regime. No voice rises against the overwhelming might of the U.N., all bowing to the iron rule of HARKAN VARLO, in a manner that would resonate with the narrative intricacies and the grand scope often found in the works of Isaac Asimov.
