Scenario: Lunar Warfare

Lunar Warfare, commonly referred to as the Planetary Aggression Era, is a scenario that takes place in the far future year of 2981. Earth is now divided into seven united continents, those being the North American Union, the United States of South America, the African Union, the European Union, the United Asian Democratic Republic, the Oceanic Union, and the Antarctic Federation. By now, six out of the seven continents have established an advanced space agency, with the Antarctic Federation being the only continent to not have established a space agency due to the temperatures and troubles launching successful rockets. Global warming has rendered the Earth dangerous for all life, so the space agencies of Earth - especially the United North American Aeronautics and Space Administration and the European Space Agency - have been researching for the past two centuries to finally colonize a distant planet, with the last planet visited by humans being Mars in 2358 when the North American Union established their first martial colony called the Lunar State of Marte.

The only problem is that they've discovered peculiar, near-impossible civilizations established on the eight planets and even on some of the dwarf planets and moons. These civilizations are known to be aggressive, as when the crew aboard the North American spacecraft Solar Aviation approached the advance Martian civilization, they were met with aggressiveness and five out of the eleven crewmates aboard the spacecraft were killed in a standoff. These civilizations were made differently then humans, as some can seemingly float on the gas and ice giants and can endure extremely hot or extremely cold conditions. By the end of the 2993 Interstellar Investigation, the European Space Agency and the Asian Space Administration confirmed that there were over fifteen active civilizations on the planets, moons, and dwarf planets of our Solar System, with over ten more rumored to be located on the abundance of Jupiter's moons.

Eventually, as global warming and sea-level rising became a life-threatening risk for the humans on Earth, the North American Union declared that all six continents send humans to Mars to establish colonies in order to save the human population. In the end, the Martian civilization provoked a war between the two planets, and that resulted in a snowball effect and eventually the declaration of the First Lunar War. The war was a free-for-all between the civilizations in the Solar System at first, however as the planets began to interact and form agreements with the others, strange lunar factions were established such as the Caelian Defense Coalition, the first lunar faction that was founded by Uranus and Neptune to defend the ice giant subregion of the Solar System and the Kuiper Belt from the "imperialist Martians, Terrestrials, and Venusians".

By the end of the First Lunar War, heavy casualties had been endured and two civilizations completely destroyed - one by the Terrestrials and the other by the Venusians. In addition to this, most factions or coalitions founded for protection during the Lunar War were disbanded because of uselessness, however interstellar diplomatic relations were still maintained by the civilizations who worked together. Earth had begun it's one-hundred and fifty year process of reforming Pangaea, and by now Antarctica and Greenland have melted and the Antarctic Federation was disbanded.

Articles I Need To Make (To-Do List)
North American Union: One of the seven united continents of Earth. Shortly after unification, it was the first to establish a formal space agency and the first to establish a colony on a distant planet, that being the complete annexation of Luna, or the Moon of the Earth. Luna would later rebel against the North American Union after a majority of its population demanded independence.

European Union: One of the seven united continents of Earth. After unification, it established a formal space agency following in the North American Union's footsteps. The only difference between the two is that the European Union established its first colony on Venus and began terraforming it. This colony was named the Lunar Colony of Geschmolzen, the German word for Molten and named after the extremely hot climate of Venus. This colony was later abolished after the Venusians (now the Venusian Empire) declared war on the European Union for trespassing on foreign planets, resulting in the official declaration of the First Lunar War.

United Asian Democratic Republic: One of the seven united continents of Earth. After unification, it was the last united continent to establish a formal space agency and was the first to establish a colony on Mercury, an unheard of idea at the time. During the First Lunar War, the United Asian Republic declared war on the Democratic Republic of Mercury in hopes to completely control the Mercurian planet, successfully annexing approximately three fourths of the planet before making peace with Mercury. It now governs over its two colonies in Venus, its colony in Mars, and a majority of Mercury.

African Union: One of the seven united continents of Earth, and the poorest by far. After unification, it was the second-to-last united continent to establish a formal space agency yet established its first colony four decades after the previous five had established their first. They were primarily colonizers of deep space, however most of their colonization operations failed because of the Caelian Defense Coalition, which resulted in several deep conflicts between the two after the African Union continuously tried to establish an operational colony on Eris. The African Union was officially disbanded during the Second Lunar War, also known as the Great Lunar War, after the European Union, the United Asian Democratic Republic, and the Venusian Empire teamed up to take the failed colonizer out. Its continent on Earth is now governed by the Oceanic Terrestrial Empire.

United States of South America: One of the seven united continents of Earth, and the least active in interstellar politics. It established its space agency shortly after the European Union, however only managed to operate one colony on eastern Venus before making the decision to remain on Earth. Its colony is now abolished after the Venusian Empire successfully managed to rid the terrestrials of their colonies and retake full control over the entire planet. It now governs the southern Caribbean, its own continent, and a majority of Central America.

Oceanic Terrestrial Empire: One of the seven united continents of Earth, and one of two that never established a formal space agency. It remained on Earth and formed an empire, successfully taking over the subcontinent of Oceania and (after the Second Lunar War) continental Africa. It is wealthy and has potential to be a dominating interstellar power, however continues to remain on Earth. It houses the Antarctic government-in-exile.

Antarctic Federation: One of the seven united continents of Earth, and one of two that never established a formal space agency. It remained on Earth, like Oceania, due to the climate and conditions of Antarctica which made launching spacecraft impossible. The continent eventually melted a couple of years after the melting of Greenland and the Antarctic Federation was disbanded, the government migrating to the Oceanic Terrestrial Empire a few months after.

Venusian Empire: One of the fifteen active civilizations in the Solar System, and the current dominating superpower throughout the entirety of the system. It was established sometime in the mid-late 1900's when a group of strange creatures managed to create their own language, culture, and grouped together to build up a civilization. It officially became a great power during the mid-2000's, when it conducted the first attack on another space civilization - the Martian attacks. This resulted in bitter relations between the two countries and the deaths of over a thousand Martians. Then, it was called the Socialist Venusian Republic with little to no universal influence. The first official war that the Venusian Empire declared was the Battle for the Geschmolzen, a war dedicated to the removal of the European Union from Venus and the termination of the Lunar Colony of Geschmolzen. This battle worked out in their favor, and over the next couple of centuries, the Venusian Empire was formed, with the empire controlling planetwide Venus and the overspace colonies of Rok (on Mars), Gasia and Elementia (on Jupiter), Lesz (on Saturn), Harckss (on Uranus), Teek (on Neptune), Boulevv (on Triton), and Far (on Eris).

Democratic Republic of Mercury: One of the fifteen active civilizations in the Solar System. Mercury currently resides on its home planet Mercury, where it once controlled over the entirety of the planet until the Planetary Aggression Era began. It did not partake in many conflicts and even permitted the establishment of the Asian colony on Mercury, wanting to establish diplomatic relations with the Terrestrial civilization. However, it severely lost during the Battle for Mercury, and the country now controls about a fourth of the planet, while Asia controls the rest. Its influence is little to none in the universal political community.

Free State of the Luna: One of fifteen active civilizations in the Solar System. Luna resides on the Moon, or Earth's moon, and it was officially established and recognized by the interstellar community after rebelling against the North American Union five years after the beginning of the Planetary Aggression Era. The rebellion succeeded, and the Free State of the Luna was released from North American rule. Today, Luna still controls most of its object, however it permitted the establishment of a European and North American colony on its territory.
