It has come to my attention that there is no current active map game on the wiki. With a great deal of time on my hands, and as the original creator of one of the wiki's longest running games, I am here to hopefully remedy that with Humanity's Course Eternal a reboot of the original HC.

Backstory
Earth is at a crossroads...
As Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is inaugurated as U.S President, America desperately attempts to recover from the Second Great Recession, an economic crisis that shattered American dominace in global circles.
The People's Republic of China has not faired much better than the U.S, with the Coronavirus continuing to devestate not only rural areas, but penetrating major cities such as Beijing and Hong Kong. It is widely believed that the PRC government has entered panic mode, fearing a rival such as India or Japan may attempt to take advantage of their predicament and wrestle over control of South East Asia.
Russia, unlike their allies in China and rivals in America, have found great prosperity at the turn of the decade. Having added Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to the Eurasian Economic Union, many wonder if Moscow is planning a revival of the Soviet Union. In an obvious power play, Russia has also expanded their presence in Africa, forming allies among developing nations in exchange for access to rare earth elements and the placement of military facilities on the continent.
Tensions in the Middle East have devolved into the cusp of all out war. Turkey has furthered their incursion into Syria, forming an alliance with Israel and Saudi Arabia, while forcing Syria into closer relations with Lebanon and Iran. Syrian and Turkish troops have already killed each other on multiple occasions, with fear that World War III could spark in the tumultuous region. Israel, despite having made progress towards peace with Palestine, has indicated an invasion of Iran may be inevitable.
The people of the world watch with baited breath, as their respective governments decide Humanity's Course.

Season I
2021
COVID-19's global death toll reaches 100,000 in China alone. Iran increases nuclear tests citing the U.S' withdrawal from the Obama deal.
- Australia: As Covid-19 continues to ravage the globe, Australia’s border security measures are tightened even further, with a 200% tax on plane and cruise tickets, to discourage overseas travel. In an effort to help other nations in Oceania deal with the outbreak and it’s aftermath, we offer to loan $3 billion to Papua New Guinea, $25 million to Nauru and Kiribati and $500 million each to Timor-Leste, the Solomon Islands and Fiji (Mod Response). In order to deal with the crisis, the Medicare levy is increased to 4% of taxable income. We condemn Iranian nuclear testing. We would like to propose joint Covid-19 cure research with the USA (Player Response). Seeing the state of our largest trading partner(China), we would like to conclude negotiations on the “Australia-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement”, a free trade agreement between Australia and India as quickly as possible (Mod Response).
- Poland: As COVID-19 continues to ravage the globe, Poland requests permission from the European Council to close its borders to all non-citizens/permanent residents to prevent any spread that might occur. We also tell the Council that this would be a formality only, and we are fully prepared to violate the Schengen Area despite a rejection from the council. [Mod Response] We begin to focus our efforts on a cure effort, and propose a united global effort to reach a cure, under the jurisdiction of the World Health Organization. [Mod/Player Response]. We remain silent on the Iran issue, instead focusing on more domestic matters than making a speech condemning a country on another continent. Tensions continue to rise in Poland between Pro-EU and Nationalist factions, especially as the Polish elections have been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is granted emergency powers in light of the coronavirus pandemic, to the point that the Pro-EU minority begins to suspect that the majority government is attempting to block their influence, leading to more governmental instability in Poland. All civilian flights are grounded in the wake of the pandemic, and prisoners convicted of non-violent crimes are sent home to be placed under house arrest. Poland also implements a carbon tax to help fund cure research and combat climate change. Schooling has been fully switched to an online system, and families without internet access are given free internet connection for the duration of the online schooling period.
- Japan: As of this year, Japan has seen 6,661 total deaths from the virus and around 364,000 people infected overall (confirmed). We will never admit it but Japanese handling as faltered compared to South Korean handling, and so has Abe's support. Along with corruption scandals, when he entered the 2021 general election, things were surprisingly not looking good. For the first time, a candidate outside of the LDP was looking like they would have a chance, and they did. The continuation of the COVID outbreak, past corruption, and the ongoing recession provided a perfect storm... With the backing of the Independent Forum, Yukio Edano of the CDP would be elected as the next Prime Minister of Japan. The younger people of Japan were on the stage and looking for change, and they were definitely more liberal than previous generations. We will see how this will play out in 2022. We continue to back any cure efforts, we can.
- South Korea: While COVID-19 continues to spread, South Korean epidemiologists at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention have mapped out a timeline, predicting the virus will slow down massively in 2022. South Korea has around 60,000 cases, mostly from the second wave of the virus, but many patients have recovered. In any case, South Korea as a whole has benefited from the virus, although with exports and financial markets down, the economy has seen brighter days. Schools are still being held online, but the extra downtime at home has made the popularity of esports and other "socially distanced" events more popular. The already bustling internet sector of South Korea has become even larger, with billions spent in furthering South Korea's lead in the world's fastest internet. Economic reports show that once the virus has run its course, South Korea has the potential to become a major technological power by 2030. South Korea also wants to expand the Sunshine Policy with North Korea, including an end to some coal sanctions on the impoverished country as well as the expansion of the Kaesong Industrial Region (once the pandemic is over, of course) to allow more South Korean companies to operate, including plans to open up the industrial park to the entire region, and hiring up to 100,000 more DPRK workers and to employ a contingency of up to 1,000 ROK supervisors in the country. [Mod Response] In the meantime, South Korea has banned all non-essential travel, and is not allowing any citizens from Italy, Iran, the United States, Japan, or China, unless they hold dual South Korean citizenship, or are diplomatic staff. Testing has also been rigorously expanded, with factories pumping out COVID-19 tests that can be shipped directly to patients without contact.
