Here's a bit of a new surprise: a new TNO custom event compilation, done in collaboration with a certain Andy Wind at his request.

This one follows a theoretical "badend" for the Anglosphere. Not only does the UK's efforts to rebuild lost glories backfire horribly (resulting in the rise of English Socialism...which soon morphs into Ingsoc), but Gus Hall's seeming victory in America devolves into a series of coups that ushers in a clique of oligarchs that reorganizes the US into a series of districts under the State of Panem. This is the Great Radicalization: the rise of distinct yet similarly extreme ideologies that threaten the future of the world, in one way or another. All the while, the OFN remnants and the last American holdouts struggle to form a new united front.

For some trivia, the music used in the opening and end are variations of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble's "War" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggOVNYFlP7Q , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gD8G6yhNFg ).

Needless to say, this is pretty cursed, reflecting a far more pessimistic vision of the present and future (barring the OFN). And yes, it's based on both 1984 and the Hunger Games. But it's also something on an experiment on where I could take my map projects down the line. At any rate, hope you enjoy!
