15 years after a nuclear exchange, global society is still in a total state of collapse. Small regional powers are trying to establish local order in a world where communication and exchange of goods has been practically completely destroyed for the forseeable future.

  
**Pannonian Horde**: Not the actual name of the state, only called so by people they have conquered and escaped to tell the tale. Led by a mishmash of generals who were stationed in the region as the bombs fell, they rule by force and seek to establish order in the region with brutal conquest. They do not actually use a flag, rather they hang ripped Hungarian uniforms as a sign of victory over local militias.

**Carinthian Federation**: Austria and Slovenia being mostly spared from total nuclear obliteration, the local councils and governing bodies of Slovenian and Austrian Carinthia and Styria came together to establish a federation and bring some peace to the region, focusing on civilian assistance and creating a safe haven.

  
**Mladi Revolucionari (Young Revolutionaries)**: A sort of vanguard ran by a young and disenfranchised mix of Bosnians, Serbs and Croats, seeking to defeat the monarchists and establish a safe, socialist utopia built on the model of the old Yugoslavia under Tito.

  
**Nova Jugoslavija (The New Yugoslavia)**: Sham kingdom established soon after the war in the former Republika Srpska, running on medieval principles where day to day life has essentially reverted back to feudalism, with local oligarchs who answer to the king owning the land that people work on.

  
**State of Calabria**: Ran by the remnants of the Cosa Nostra that survived the bombs, the state is ran like a big company, with farms and businesses still producing goods and exporting them all over the Mediterranean region.

  
**Italian Red Front**: Starting as a small movement in the town of Siena, it has grown to be one of the largest powers in what is left of Italy. Aiming to start a revolution in the post-apocalypse built on the ideas of Marx and Lenin, they have faced fierce resistence from local militias and gangs.

  
**Istrian Republic**: Established soon after the collapse of Croatia after Zagreb was bombed, the Istrian nationalists managed to bring together Slovenes and Croats who wanted to have a peaceful and safe country to live in. The first elections were held 5 years ago, and many citizens suspect they were prearranged, as the leadership seems to focus on isolationism and strictly bars any refugees from entering, against the will of their citizens.

  
**South Island Unity**: The islanders who were cut off from the world after the bombs fell managed to get in contact with each other quite soon after and establish a rough union ran by the local farmer syndicate. As the two sides fight on the mainland, the residents were forced to side with the revolutionaries in hopes of one day seeing peace in the region.
