Editing Shadowrun (section)

===Europe===
* Elves unite and stage a coup in Ireland, creating a police state Tír na nÓg where all non-Elves are considered second-class citizens, and Elves are judged by their (often bullshitted) claims to ancestry or their magical prowess. Even those families who do technically have a claim to nobility and are Elves aren't assured respect, as the secret police of the government are quick to give anyone they envy the boot (or muzzle if the boot doesn't work fast enough). The ruling government is sometimes called "Noggins" in a derogatory manner. The opposition to the Elves lead to the resurrection of the IRA, which includes all races including Elves who are unsatisfied with the Elf-centric state of their land.
* Germany has refractured, lessening their industrial and political power. To counteract this, they have a series of treaties that force them to cooperate with each other and make them be recognised as a single country on the international scale, forming the Allied German States. The overall effect of this has been to create what is essentially a German USSR/ a return to the Holy Roman Empire.
* France remained mostly united as opposed to Germany, but in turn was rife with internal troubles which included a nuclear meltdown, military coup and corporate intrigues, with Corsica and some other minor territories breaking off as time went. In 2077 it officially became the Seventh Republic, a metahuman friendly country with little bias toward metahumans (but looking somewhat disapprovingly towards cybers and magic), based on cyberdemocracy with congress being drafted over the Matrix.
* With a large portion of their country below sea level, many of the Netherlands' coastal cities have been left flooded with toxic sludge after the Black Tide disaster of 2011. Moving their capital to Europort (the greater Rotterdam/The Hague sprawl) the flooded ruins of Old Amsterdam have become a haven for pirates, smugglers and treasure divers. Now known as the United Netherlands (Verenigde Nederlanden) after merging with Flanders.
* Russia is Soviet again after mysterious assassinations of USA, UK, Israel and Russian leaders. This time switches places with Germany pretty much reenacting European part of WWII which ends with [[Illuminati|mysterious HQ bombings and assassinations of high ranking officers on both sides by a third party]].
* The Balkans are royally messed up as per usual, everything from Slovenia and Croatia to Albania and Macedonia appears to be failed states, Sarajevo in Bosnia is mentioned as being a feral city but other than that, not much else is known.
* Turkey is split in three (four if you count the Ukrainian-assisted autonomous Constantinople) ever since some Mullah with delusions of Islamic State invaded Europe while dragging the entire Arabic world into the invasion alliance thinking he could finally LARP as a new Ottoman Sultan, [[Rape|with predictable results from a fully mechanized and battle hardened European Defense Force]] (though Europe still came out of the war pretty roughed up, reason is in the paragraph above) eventually killing said leader and liberating Western Turkey and supporting it. Western Turkey is secular Alawite with a modern inner circle called Neo-Atatürk, (now independent) Istanbul's name [[/pol/|back to Constantinople]] with a den of assassins and mercenaries, eastern Turkey is retarded Muslim jihadist shithole, and [[SJW|Kurdistan is an official country]] fighting against Islamists(and doing wetwork for Western Turkey on the sly).
