The world affairs as of AD 2095

With the global drop in temperature, then World War III and twenty years of continuous warfare, the world map has been totally redrawn. The current situation is shown as follows.

The United States linked with Canada and every Central American nation from Mexico to Panama to form the USNA.

Russia reabsorbed Ukraine and Belarus to form the New Soviet Union.

China conquered the northern parts of Burma, Vietnam, Laos, and the entire Korean Peninsula to form the Great Asian Alliance.

India and Iran took in Central Asia (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan) and South Asia (Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) to form the Indo-Persian Union.

The rest of the nations formed their own military alliances in defiance to the Big Three.

Australia chose de facto seclusion.

The European Union failed, breaking up to east and west along the Franco-German border. With both sides not forming their into unified countries, their respective unions were considerably weaker than they were before the wars.

Half of the African nations disappeared, and the remaining nations have effective sovereignty no further than their cities.

Apart from Brazil, South America has collapsed into small local-level countries.

Strategic-level Magicians (The Thirteen Apostles)

As modern magic is created from highly advanced science and technology, few countries were able to develop strong military-grade magics. As a result, only a handful of countries were able to develop strategic-level magics that would rival weapons of mass destruction.

However with the continuing practice of providing developed magics to ally nations, it is also usual to acknowledge allied magicians as strategic-level magicians for their high capabilities with strategic-level magics.

As of April 2095, there are thirteen magicians publicly announced nationally for their skill in strategic-level magics. They were called the Thirteen Apostles, and were seen as a big factor in the world's military balance. Their affiliations, names, and magics were detailed below.
