For the First ten years after the Founding of New Alexandria things went remarkably smoothly for the Young city state. The City sustained an incredibly successful agribusiness and technology based Economy grew every year as Algae stack farms and MDC hemp plantations dotted the landscape beyond the the City for miles and the mines and factories cranked out high tech goods.
During this time the Platinum Shield was involved with Three separate wars:
First was the War with the Xitixix, A war that was fought largely by teleporting teams of Vintex supplemented with battle mages, psi-stalkers and Warlocks into Xitixix Hives and killing as many bugs as possible. The main reason this war was fought was because of the profit made off of looting xitixix wepaons, recycling xitixix corpses and turning the stone of xitixix hives into building materials. This War was one made primarily for profit as the bug's weapons where resold in bulk to Naruni enterprises who resold them throughout the galaxy as hand made collectors items at a dramatic mark up. A great deal of Platinum shield bases are made of reinforced MDC concrete made primarily from crushed xitixix hives. Allot of Alexandrian farms are fertilized with biomass from xitixix corpses that have been recycled, in addition a great deal of xitixix corpses are turned into zombies by High Magus and teleported into enemy cities to cause havoc.
The Second War is the War against the Mexico Empire. The Platinum Shield combined with Arzno largely have military control over the American Southwest and Northern Mexico, however The Mexico Empire combined with the Arkhon Freehold hold Southern Mexico, Central America, The Yucatan Peninsula and Northern Central America. This has devolved into a cold war where both sides largely shake their fists at each other over a invisible border. Arzno and the Platinum Shield forcibly evict any intelligent beings from Northern Mexico that are not there on official military business so as to prevent the vampires from gaining any ground north. Northern Mexico is largely patrolled by aircraft and robot drones that base out of several Platinum Shield bases that guard strategic mines.
The third War is the ongoing war with the Phoenix Empire. This is fought largely with strategic bombing runs and Commando Strikes with the occasional mass liberation of slaves. The Demons of the Phoenix Empire have lost most of their technology base and whenever they acquire a location of value the Platinum Shield Bombs it into rubble. C/M Manufacturing has also been selling weapons in bulk to various African Nations and tribes to make life more difficult on the Demons who main source of income is slave trading. The Demons have tried several times to strike back at their attackers by partnering with the City of Brass and the Mystic Knights but these lack the logistical ability to mount large scale attacks against the Platinum Shield.
During this time There was also a largely cold war with the Coalition, however the Coalition avoided any significant activities against New Alexandria.
During this time New Alexandria absorbed 70% of the refugees from Tolkeen and increased its population by nearly ten times to a population of nearly ten million from locations throughout North America, Africa, Japan, Russia, Europe, South America, Atlantis and other dimensions, created a global network of pyramids that facilitated global trade and communication.
Then on July 27 119 PA, 13 days before the tenth anniversary of the founding of the nation-state all of the world's ley lines erupted in storms at once and the earth's water levels dropped to pre-rifts levels. Two hours after the Storm it was confirmed that the entire island of Atlantis simply disappeared. All items and people that had come from that island still existed but attempts to trace their past using magic and psychic means failed utterly. The island and all occupants had vanished without an explanation. Soon afterward the surviving minions of the Splugorith in the various satellite bases throughout the world converged on the battered Phoenix Empire, slaughtered its leaders and took over.
Emboldened by the disappearance by their greatest threat the Coalition initiated what became known as the "Three Day War", a disastrous offense against the Nation of New Alexandria that ended with their absolute defeat at the hands of The Platinum Shield and their Allies. This led to a series of humiliating terms of surrender that included a policy of shipping D-Bees east rather than killing them, trading uranium ore with the platinum shield at a set rate (the Coalition does hold the majority of earths fissile material to this day), the release of the contents of the black vault to New Alexandria in return for the return of Karl Prosek's head to the Coalition states so his defiled corpse could be laid to rest.
Emboldened by their victory against the Coalition and rich from the spoils of war the Platinum Shield with the backing of the NGR and Japan went to war with the orbital community pitting their advanced Naruni fighters against the Orbital's Killer satellites. After three months of Fighting new Alexandria was able to gain control of orbital space and fill the skies with Japanese and German designed Satellites that enabled global communications for the first time since the coming of the rifts destroyed the internet.
Lord Dunscon, during these ten years faced a losing battle against the Coalition states backed by an increasingly powerful Vanguardmade a Pact with extra-dimensional powers that involved sacrificing a massive amount of his mundane followers to the thirsts of Demons and Deevils. Ever Since the Location of the City of Brass has been an ever shifting thing, with the City appearing at ley line nexuses throughout the world and spawning Demons and tortured souls to torment the living, rumors have spread that Alistair Dunscon has completed his unholy transformation into something else and now lives only to torment the living. Wherever the City of brass appears it belches forth armies of Demons, Deevils and Fallen Mortals that have been twisted by unholy energies to torment the living.
The Gargoyle Empire has Suffered a decline largely fueled by NGR artillery and satellite intelligence, they have mostly been expunged from the face of Europe along with the Brodkil and blood druids and have fled to the New Phoenix Empire.
The Coalition maintains its hold on the Midwest but is in many ways an empire in decline, Emperor Joseph Prosek has been forced more and more to rely on Lone star and to welcome the Vanguard into the fold. As part of their agreement with the Platinum Shield they are required to maintain a war with the Xitixix and turn over the Bug's corpses and weapons to the New Alexandrian government and to ship D-bees west rather than kill them.
Japan and the NGR have thrived in the new world economy with their high tech and ability (thanks to New Alexandria) to ship goods and market to the entire world. Both nations can boast the Highest education level in the world and the best high tech infrastructure in the world, As a result they have profited immensely from then new world order. Both have made concessions to the New Alexandrian government to allow D-bees in their territories (though both tend to treat most D-bees as second class citizens).
In Russia, Warlords Romanov, Burgasov, Kolodenko, Seriyev and General Katya Nikoforov control the the majority of the Continent thanks to trade with New Alexandria giving them access to artillery and better missile technology. Russia trades Rail guns and livestock with the rest of the world and is struggling to increase the education level of its people but generally lags behind the rest of the world.
