Interplanetary (Map Game)



Welcome to 2060. A time of technological innovation and progress. A time of new political alliances and as always.....war. Regardless, this is a new age. The lines between flesh and machine are beginning to blur. Humanity is in a crossroads as a global environmental, economic, social, and political crisis has hit the Earth. But new hopes and dreams lie within our Solar System. The sheer scale of wonder and terror awaits humanity in its race to find its place in the cosmos. And with these innovations, combined with an age of crisis, humanity has finally taken the necessary steps to aim for the stars. You are a the leader of a nation. What will you lead your people to? Glory? Defeat? Prosperity? Peace? War? Or Death?

Basic Rules

 * 1) Be plausible.
 * 2) Treat others are you wish to be treated.
 * 3) Interstellar missions are permitted, but they will be as rare as Moon missions back in the 1960s. Mainly because as it turns out, we already have one large Solar System as our playground.
 * 4) You can create different political blocs, both on Earth and in space in addition to various other political blocs that already exist.
 * 5) Colonies outside Earth can declare sovereignty around 2400 - 2500 at earliest.
 * 6) To colonise other worlds, the necessary infrastructure is required. This means no infrastructure in space or launch pads, no colonies for you.
 * 7) For more information on how to deal with appropriate spacecraft designs, Delta V maps or the game's science and physics, please consult Atomic Rockets for more information.
 * 8) Have Fun!

Map Rules

 * 1) There will be 4 maps. 2 for reference and 2 for in-game use. Be warned: they must be posted under the File: Interplanetary_[insert year here].png.
 * 2) Use the Delta V maps in the Atomic Rockets website to calculate how much fuel your ships need or just use them for future reference.

2060.
Preparing launch in T-10, 9, 8, 7, 6, ignition sequence start, 4, 3, 2, 1......and we have a liftoff! China: We begin military buildup and economic expansion. We begin to invest in Central Asia, and investment in Africa and South America, as our economy continues to grow. With this in mind, we decide to spread our sphere of influence past what we already have and hope to make Turkey join the Eurasian Pact, in order to help them Kurdistan. While this occurs, some scientists at the CNSA decide to propose the construction of the Tiangong II space station, set to orbit Mars. Meanwhile, a small group of Taikonauts is scheduled to head for Titan by 2064, hoping to use this to catch up to the States in space exploration. Meanwhile, we declare support for the Venezuelan government forces in an attempt to use the nation as a deterrent against the States, much like how the USSR used Cuba as a deterrent against the States in the First Cold War. However, focus begins to turn into a new breed of rocket designs to replace the already aging Long March branch of rockets. This new breed of rocket begins to be dubbed as the Divine Chariot or the Shenzhanche rocket, and several proposals for the engine are done, some based on traditional chemical launches, others revolving around a laser thermal launch system. The laser thermal launch system proposes the use of a heat exchange thruster, which works by a laser heating an inert liquid propellant, and using it as a single-stage to orbit rocket. Noting the proposal for the laser thermal rocket being cheaper, the CNSA begins development of the laser thermal version of the Divine Chariot. Construction of the laser batteries begins in the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, and development of Tiangong II begins.
 * As climate change worsens, and wars over water and fertile land explode in some areas of Earth, many space agencies begin to propose colonisation plans to their respective governments. 
 * As sea levels continue to rise, whole sections of coastal cities begin to go to the bottom of the ocean, such as areas of London, St. Petersburg, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and various other cities are affected, although in some regions the flood barriers are able to contain the flooding for a while. 
 * Heavy fighting continues along the Nile River as the Nile War continues to rage. 
 * Pro-Western Rebels in Venezuela are asking for the States to intervene as the situation continues to worsen for the rebels. 
 * Scotland begins to call for diplomatic sanctions against the UK following several various border skirmishes betwen the two nations. The Germanic Union decides to back the move of Scotland to ensure the New Commonwealth does not spread its influence into the European Continent, while India threatens to veto any sactions against the UK. The Mediterranean Coalition remains neutral on the issue. 
 * The US, with its recent annexation of Canada, gains even more natural resources and more people to fuel its economy and reassures itself as the most powerful nation on Earth. China and India, however are booming at a rapid pace, and they are catching up to the United States ever faster.
 * Pakistan and India begin border skirmishes in a desperate struggle for the Indus River Basin. 
 * Heavy fighting continues in Bangladesh as parts of the country continue to flood.
