Post-Cold War 2 World

Geopolitical map of the world after US dissolution:







Description: empire does not mean empire of old, but rather sphere of influence. There will be no major border changes in the future. Great Powers may or may not, have a military, economic or political presence in their spheres of influence (either all three, or just one branch).

Russia: unlike dreams and hopes of Russia owning half the world after US demise, more realistic scenario is they will control 'near abroad', despite being 2nd strongest power.

China: obvious.

Germany: Britain and France are too powerful for Germany to subdue, It is the best for them to leave EU, in order for Germany to gain full control over the continent.

France: will realize it is best to avoid competition over EU with Germany, and focus on Francophonie, where more resources and pro-french people are at.

UK: will preserve influence over Canada, but lose Australia to China.

Iran: will be allowed to spread its influence on the Middle East if pledge loyalty to Moscow.

Turkey; will be allowed to spread influence in the non-Iranian muslim regions if pledge loyalty to Moscow. Both Iran and Turkey will be buffed or weakened in order to compete with each other, by Moscow, according to needs.

India: will be left alone, as they are too hard to influence or pressure, and because they don't have global appetite.

USA: most states will be independent but few will be influenced by the great powers. Mostly coastal states due to trade.

Do you even play this game anymore or do you just constantly make pro-Russian posts on the forums

Hard ones:

Azerbaijan was hard to place: they are Shia muslim, which mean they lean towards Iran, but there are more azeri people in Iran than in Azerbaijan, which mean if they get absorbed or influenced by Iran, they might try to unite both azeri regions, which is a huge threat to Iran and Russia.
So i can't even guess what will Russia do; absorb Azerbaijan or give it to Iran.

Balkan is tricky(like always), Russia will either give it to Germany, or split it, or take it as a whole. it won't be smart to fight over it with Germany, which will be Russian ally, it will be better to give it in exchange for loyalty.

Egypt may, or may not become a regional power. Huge country with decent military, economy and lots of culture. If another Nasser comes, they might compete with Turkey over East Med Sea, and with Iran over Syria.
