Well recently Caprica has experienced a meltdown and both the Avalonian Union and an organization called the Red Sphere (see above) fought over the control of Caprica. Caprica had been under legal influence of Erinaum for many years, and Even though Erinaum allowed Caprica to make alliances and form trading groups, Caprica was still subject to Erinaum's intervention if Erinaum did not see its government progress as stable, violated the contract, or displeased a majority of the Erinamese Officials overseeing it.
Now, you may be wondering what this "contract" is. Caprica had existed for a long time as a country, but due to Frontrox and other nations' leaders leaving, Avalonia and Erinaum divided up the world map and, in doing so, Caprica became under the control of Erinaum. It was almost annexed when Frontrox came back and wanted his country back. I gave him a deal, since his country was close to becoming Erinaum, he would have time to develop his country, under the direction of Erinaum. In its final review stage, Caprica had experienced a revolution and had been overrun by the Socialist Party with the aid of The Red Sphere.
It was practically another Vietnam War, just shorter, and with lower tech.
Now for technology.
The Red Sphere and the Avalonian Union are practically in a cold war state, trying to advance their technology. We are basically at mixed points of history on this.
Aviation is placed at around 1928.
Weaponry is placed at around 1917.
I tried to make this as non-partisan as possible. Did I do a good job?
