  • 2180 AD - The yoyo effect threatening pan-humanism is averted by the common threat for all mankind during the Robot War, and the outlooks's support is at an all-time high. This, coupled with great devastation caused by the conflict in parts of the globe, results in significant changes in the political landscape. The United States unite with Canada and, later, Mexico to form the Unified States (as in "countries") of North America. Higher GDP and the fact that the eastern hemisphere (including China) was far harder hit by the Machines allows the country to regain its place as a superpower. Russia, also greatly devastated, has its government overthrown multiple times until it eventually united with many other unstable Central Asian, Caucasian and Eastern European countries forming the Transural Republic.

  • 2195 AD - The violent Bering Sea Incident causes the relations between the Transural Republic and the USNA to deteriorate rapidly, in light of various conflicts of interests, mainly concerning the Arctic and the Great Asteroid Belt.
