Twenty years later...

It has been twenty years since that day. The day when the Earth is finally cleansed of all nuclear radiations and toxic wastes left behind in the aftermath of the Third Great War.

And a lot have happened ever since then.

Four years after that fateful day, the Swedish Russo-Tatar War ended with both sides claimed victories due to the fact that the Allies managed to push Sweden out of Karelia but Sweden managed to obtain their true war's goals that are unifying and consolidating their grips on Poland and take control of the Dnieper River.

According to what you heard, the treaty Karelia and Ingria will be ceded to the Russo-Tatar states while the King of Sweden is recognized as the King of Poland and the lands on the right-bank of the Dnieper River are ceded to Sweden.

Because of this, Sweden-Poland now have access to the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea and potentially, also the Mediterranean Sea.

As for you, you have retired from politics and return to be just one of the many scientists working in the shadow along with the other scientists and A.I.D.S.O.H to make sure that certain knowledge such as the knowledge about nuclear warheads remained hidden and forbidden in this new world and also making sure all giant robots of Professor Grice-Hutchinson remained hidden and under control of just the Supervisor alone.

And when it comes to your children, you can only imagined what their lives are right now since the only children you have seen growing up are the children born from Brittany, Valeria, Eva and Rain.

Brittany has given birth to you a pair of twins and you can definitely see one of them is a result of the **** that day since the skin of one of them is dark. As for their genders, both of the twins are girls.

Valeria given birth to you a daughter that is the result of you were being "forceful" to her that night in order to get the information you desired.

Eva given birth to you a son and once it is revealed that you are actually the one who got her pregnant, it went just as you expected. Elijah laughed it off while also demanding that you take responsibility of his daughter while Natalie given you a bit of an earful lecture to you and only stopped when Eva came in to defend you from her mother's wrath by saying that she is the one who took advantage of you in the first place.

And finally, Rain given birth to your triplets, one son and two daughters. And they looked greatly resembled their mother more than you since all three of them looked more like Native Americans.

Since they are your children, you loved them unconditionally and always do your best to take care of them while balancing your jobs as a scientist A.I.D.S.O.H's bunker and an ambassador from the Kingdom of Utretch to the Republic of Florida.

Due to it has been twenty years already, they have all grown up now and venture out to have lives of their own while still visiting you and their mothers periodically.

As for the outside world, a lot happened in just twenty years.

The new world order has finally truly emerged with the British Commonwealth is once again the most powerful nation in the world due to its Royal Navy and the alliances that they have with Portugal, the Community of Portuguese-speaking nations headed by Portugal, and Japan-Korea.

With the threats of the dangerous mutants and nuclear radiations gone, the political questions began to slowly but surely solving themselves one by one.

With the victory over Sweden in Karelia and Ingria, the Russo-Tatar states are unified under the Novgorod Republic with the current Prince of Novgorod that belonged to the House of Sibirsky declared as the Tsar of All Russias since the House of Sibirsky are both Orthodox Christians and also the descendants of Genghis Khan alike, making them the most legitimate contender for such position.

Ten years ago, you, your wives and your children who stayed with you in the Republic of Florida heard from the international newspapers about the unification of France and the declaration of the Third French Empire under the House of Bonaparte by leading all three French states in the war against Algeria, one of the hubs of the revived Barbary pirates that have been operating across the Mediterranean Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean for centuries, after having had enough of the raids by the Barbary pirates and also hearing the whispers among the Barbary pirates of the revival of Fraxinetum in France.

Unlike the French conquest of the 19th century, the French states did not officially annex all of Algeria but only occupied Beylik of Constantine for the purposes having it as a landing point, to keep the Algerian pirates in line and also a place for the people still identified themselves as the black feet, known in French as Pied-noirs, to settle in their long lost cultural homeland. By defeating a hostile foreign power, all three French states are unified into the single entity known as the Third French Empire with the King of Neustria and the President of Burgundy remained in powers over their states.

This also led to the Third French Empire to embark on the ventures to reclaim their former overseas territories such as New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean and French Guinea in the Americas.

Such action also embolden the Risorgimento in Italy not long after and the call for the Risorgimento was achieved through the pretext of dealing with the Barbary pirates, which led to the formation of the Italian Federation with the monarchs of Sardinia-Piedmont as the High King and High Queen of Italy and the Prime Minister of Sardinia-Piedmont as the Prime Minister of Italy respectively, and also the subsequent occupation of Tripolitania.

Spain, however, took a different approach. The Prime Minister of Spain and the Grand Vizier of Valencia decided to engage in the negotiation with each other, which resulted in the Emir of Valencia to style himself as the Mawla of the Valencia instead by acknowledging the King of Spain as his overlord, even if the real executive powers rested in the hands of the Prime Minister and the Grand Vizier respectively.

As a result of France and Italy being reunified, the House of Husayn that ruled over Tunisia as the Bey of Tunisia decided to all the cease of all piratical activities and concern the fleet of Barbary pirates into an actual navy while deeper into Africa, the Ethiopian Empire and the Caliphate in the Lands of Sudan entered into the negotiation regarding the demarcation of each other's sphere of influence.

Meanwhile in the Balkans, the Sultanate of Albania and Kosovo lost a war against Serbia-Bulgaria, who took advantage of the Risorgimento due to Albania-Kosovo was depending on its military alliance with the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily and ended up being annexed into the Tsardom's territories. This led to the House of Osman and anyone who refused the new rule of the Tsar of Serbia-Bulgaria to leave for Naples-Sicily.

Due to blood ties between the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and the House of Osman with the wife of the current Sultan is the younger sister of the King of Naples and Sicily and the Barbary pirates always heeded the words of the Turkish Albanian Sultan to not attack ships from Naples-Sicily, the Neopolitan-Sicilian government ceded Sicily to the House of Osman at the behest of the King to make his brother-in-law the Sultan of Sicily, thus splitting the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily into the Kingdom of Naples and the Sultanate of Sicily with the latter is considered as the newest Italian state within the Italian Federation.

In the Middle East, Iran under the liberal Shah of the Pahlavi dynasty has complete control over the whole of the Middle East and Central Asia with the Kingdom of Alania as its protectorate while in East Asia, Japan-Korea finally consolidated their grips on the Kuril Islands. As for Southeast Asia, the Indonesian Question began the process of being solved little by little with a little help from another nation that survived World War III relatively unscathed. And that nation is none other but Thailand.

Back in the North American continent, the North West Company, the Hudson Bay's Company and the Republic of Madawaska have been fully reunified as Canada and reintegrated back into the British Commonwealth while down in the south, the American states that have survived the terrors and the nightmares of this new world brought by the nuclear warheads that ended World War III have finally managed consolidated their territories and pacified their borders.

These American states are the Republic of Texas, the Republic of California, the State of Deseret, the Republic of Lakotah, the Anabaptist Republic and the Republic of Florida that you are living in right now with your wives and your children.

And in the last twenty years, the Republic of Florida went through a lot of changes due to the contacts with the wider world that have already been established shortly before your arrival. And due to the "mysterious disappearances" of the radioactive substances and dangerous mutants, the expansion becomes even more possible! So in just twenty years, Florida expanded out of its core territory onto the mainland, allowing the territories of Pretorious, Alma and the Tower of Hope to be admitted as provinces of the Republic of Florida. As for the the Flamemakers Tribe ended up becoming a protectorate in order to gain protection from the Tribal Union of the Divine Mountains.

This ultimately led to the Republic of Florida to be reorganized as the State of Muskogee, thus signaling the fulfillment of the ancient desire of unifying the American Southeast into a single nation.

As for the Tribal Union of the Divine Mountains, you have heard of what described as a movement of religious rebels led by a young man who preached for the renewal of religion of the God of the Mountain Depths that you have no doubt to be that child born from you ended up being **** by Maricel Hikari upon that fateful night. And according to the newspapers you have read about the story of the son you have never met and his movement, they clearly are winning at the moment. You even saw a photo of him standing along with his mother and the young pregnant woman who appeared to be of Japanese descent who you assumed to be your son's wife from one of the newspapers that you've recently read.

You have also discovered how diplomatically skilled this son of yours with the Filipino-Japanese-American woman is because he reached out to the Kingdom of Utrecht before his enemies within the tribes can and successfully secured the protectorate status for the Tribal Union of the Divine Mountains.

In the Jackson Free State, the recovery is still happening due to the damages that you inflicted upon it after you decided to put its inhabitants to the slaughter in the name of protecting the women who were pregnant with your babies and your children that were yet to be born back then.

As for the Axeman City, it still being under the de facto administration of the Kingdom of Utrecht at the moment while Port Williams still maintained the alliance with Utrecht as well.
