PCBaller World/Lore for lorers

This page serves as a point of reference for individuals seeking to create lore regarding the origins of their respective country within the PCBaller World. The page aims to provide a general outline of the events and global landscape prior to the 2030s, without specifying dates per the guidelines set forth by Jonah. Its purpose is to assist individuals in establishing a shared understanding of historical events and contextualizing the state of the world within the PCBaller World.

Collapses
The genesis of events can be traced back to the United States, where a severe economic recession reminiscent of the "-08 style" recession struck the nation under the Kamala Harris administration following Joe Biden's tenure. The resulting economic turmoil and subsequent loss of global influence provided an opportunity for the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China to leverage the situation to their advantage. In due course, the situation deteriorated to a point where several states seceded from the Union to form new independent nations, effectively leading to the dissolution of the United States as a unified country.

The dissolution of the United States, coupled with Russian interference and internal conflicts, ultimately resulted in a series of regime changes and collapses throughout Europe. This included the collapse of Germany, which led to a significant impact on the European economy and the European Union.

The disintegration of the Russian Federation exacerbated the already complex and chaotic situation, as several countries that held a pro-Russian stance crumbled without Moscow's support. Additionally, Russophile individuals in countries where regime change had not occurred yet, began to panic and take pre-emptive measures to avoid being wiped out, such as in the case of Poland.

Amidst a global power vacuum, Russia and China emerged as major players vying for control. While Russia pursued covert and subtle tactics to exert its influence, China became increasingly belligerent and militaristic in the wake of the United States' collapse. As a result, China mobilized its forces to invade neighboring countries and even instigated the Thai civil war. The Korean peninsula was the only region that was spared due to North Korea's alliance with China. However, despite Chinese funding in the second Korean civil war, the desired outcome was not achieved. Ultimately, China's aggressive expansionism proved unsustainable, leading to a collapse of its economy and the rise of independent cliques within its military leadership. These factions would later undergo their own regime changes in the aftermath of the MWS takeover in China.

Economic situation
In the contemporary era, marked by the 2030s, the global economy has achieved a degree of stabilization that has facilitated economic expansion. Nevertheless, the decline of multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and regional organizations has left few regulations and norms governing the world market, and agreements are often negotiated on a bilateral basis. To address this gap, a number of support organizations have emerged, including the Alternative United Nations, Central European Commerce Committee, and Bloc of Free Trade, which have facilitated member countries' participation in international trade.
