Miscellaneous notes for the scenario that takes a word that appeared in the lyrics from a Japanese song but features a resurgent China after repeating the Three Kingdoms Era and coming back stronger than ever before (now with democracy); Korea and the Philippines also becoming major forces while Taiwanese independence is made permanent; and Japan eventually collapses while its companies were bought out by mainly Korean and American companies.

Also Macau > Hong Kong.

Korea
Basically THE cultural superpower. Its music industry continues to be popular, while Korean animation and manhwa emerges to replace Japanese anime and manga starting from the mid 21st century. With the relocation of Nintendo and the buyout of Sony by Samsung (among countless other buyouts), the video game industry also became another major part in the economy.

Thailand
No more military junta, thankfully. The last one occurred during the 2230s. Also no more extensive censorship, and they also have unbanned media such as The King and I and One Night in Bangkok.

Australia
Similar to the Australia from the New Face scenario while also taking some inspiration from The Realignment scenario.

Looks like the Division of Kennedy wasn't the only one to be ruled by a particular family/party for a long time...

Also, the Shale gas industry emerged in the 2040s, and, along with the United States, Canada, and the PRC (all which had existing production in commercial quantities, and the latter two nowhere near as much as the former), was one of the four countries that had such industry contributing to the national energy market. However, like the other three countries, it died out, with the last plant closing by the 2090s.

Greenland
Greenland is Denmark (until 2040) Independent (2040-2153) Scandinavian (since 2153).

Reached a peak population in 2100 hovering around four million. Since 2153, the people declined to an extent, though never went below one million. By 2500, a huge majority (90%) of the population is composed of genetically modified humans that can withstand the extreme cold and general climate of Greenland. The province in particular has several towns that are more or less solely inhabited by them, with  being the largest settlement in the far north, at around 110,000. Sermersooq still remains as the most populous province; and Eastern towns such as Tasiilaq and Isertoq also have significant populations.

Russia
Finally a stable democracy led by a mob that is controlled by a shadowy oligarchy. Also in an twist of events, because a Ukrainian satellite, much to the horror of Russian ultranationalists.

United States
Yes, they still exist.

Also American companies temporarily relocated due to the supervolcanic eruption in 2153, and returned roughly a century later.

Kotonoha
Upon promotion from colony to an autonomous prefecture (the AP being akin to an SAR of the PRC), in a nutshell, becomes a PRC-HK situation with major protests in the later years (2170s on) until Kotonoha's independence.

Former Japanese colony on Mars that became independent in the 2200s. Initially recognised by Anhui (later China), Korea, and several other nations; though unrecognised by Japan, Far Eastern Republic, Australia, and a few others, including France and Spain. Gained full recognition after the East Asian War in the 2300s.

Also the Constitutional Democrats saw the most success here since it was admitted as an autonomous prefecture (2140), and won several elections post independence.

Titan
A major nation in the solar system that was established in the 2400s and covers the whole planet. Basically the new Russia/PRC counterpart, and also established an SCO counterpart.

Official/main languages are Italian, Russian, Greek, and Spanish.

Antarctica
Formally habitable from the mid 21st century until 2153. Returned to research station outposts afterwards, for the most part anyway. Villa Las Estrellas, Marambio and Esperanza are the only three major towns that continue to be inhabited with sizeable populations, with the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula being an integral part of the Federation.

Colorado River crisis
Ideas are still unorganised/being reconsidered at the moment. Some major events so far:


 * Desalination plants become more common in Southern California (and the state as a whole). Meanwhile with co-operation from Mexico, efforts were made to fill Lake Cahuilla, with desalination plants also built. Also the Colorado now reaches the Baja Gulf again.
 * Just like what occurred with the Santa Cruz River, several projects later emerged with releasing treated waste-water into former dry rivers, to replenish the reservoirs. Of course this isn't enough which leads...
 * ...to importing desalted water to several dry areas and smaller lakes. The for example? Filled with water which remains year round and now has rivers designated to it. Other lakes such as San Carlos Lake were also refilled.

Mercury and Venus
Banned from being inhabited.

Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus
Orbiting cities exist, but the planets themselves remain unterraformed.

Terraforming
A brief overview of terraforming across the galaxies across the entire universe (and outside of the current ) for this scenario.

What is terraformed:
 * Planets and dwarf planets that are solid (ie Mars, Pluto)
 * Natural satellites that are A. sphere and B. not puny (smaller than ). So far, only exception to this is Titan.

What won't be:
 * Planets, dwarf planets and natural satellites close to the sun of any "system" (ie Mercury, Venus)
 * Also, no bases are established in those places either, due to the extreme heat.
 * Stars including the Sun, for obvious reasons.
 * Anything that isn't a sphere (ie ).

List of Presidents of Taiwan
Official: Unofficial, to be edited later:
 * (Democratic Progressive Party) (2016-2020)
 * (Kuomintang) (2020-2028)
 * (Kuomintang) (2032-2040)
 * (Kuomintang) (2040-2048)
 * (Kuomintang) (2048-2056)
 * Ni Teng-tzang (Democratic Progressive Party) (2056-2064)
 * Alex Wu (Democratic Progressive Party) (2064-2072)
 * Chan Hwai-yin (Democratic Progressive Party) (2072-2077)

Humanoids

 * Humans
 * Genetically modified Humans
 * Siberian humans (Can withstand the widest temperature ranges with relative ease, from -70 C to 40 C. Named after, obviously Siberia, due to their widest range of temperatures ranging from extreme cold to hot. Also not necessarily limited to residing/living Siberia either.)
 * Saguaro humans (Named after the famous cactus; and originated in the US Southwest. Made to withstand desert like heat and having similar features like said cactus. Primarily lives in places like in the US Southwest and Mexico, and other places with similar conditions.)
 * Titans (Can withstand the atmosphere of Titan, and only reside there. Titan itself is the only natural satellite not terraformed.)
 * Human clones
 * Cyborgs
 * Sentient AI (Human robots with natural human-like features except not organic obviously.)
 * A-dolls (Humanlike, but different.)
 * J-robots (Japan's version of A-dolls, built with their own standards and blueprints. Project started in 2160s, first functional ones came about 50 years later.)
 * JT-Robots (Japan's unsuccessful attempt at replicating T-dolls)

Robots and other technology

 * Sentry bot (One of the robots used and built by the US Military. Its design takes strong similarities to the same type of robot from the Fallout series.)

Pluto and the Extended Solar System
Pluto itself saw a few bases established starting from the 2130s, starting with Russia and their base of Novgorod; as a part of a Great Space Race.
