Mundus (Earth-9681)

Mundus is one of the many worlds in the universe, and home to numerous nations and races.

Age of Armageddon
Even before the establishment of nations, Mundus neared destruction more than once duo to conflict. One such time period was the Age of Armageddon, a millennia-long global war that brought an end to many estates and nearly extinguished Mundus' races. The nation of Panem was founded after the conflict, which ushered a new era that, while not peaceful, was still considered acceptable compared to the ages of old.

Silver Era
"Five centuries ago, we won and lost an empire of four hundred million citizens."

- - Miran Trescu

The next centuries saw the rise of the Silver Era, or the "Medieval Ages". Kashkur and Görasnaya were both massive empires that expanded their reach into a rapid velocity, conquering nearby lands. The Kashnur saw their riches coming from the silver mines they used to fuel their empire's economy and constructed the Anvil Gate and protected their borders in the south from invaders; the Gorasnaya were able to control a population consisting of 400 million, before they lost their control and power. Ephyra was founded during this time, but was only a small village, home to persecuted witches that made selling potions a living.

Era of Silence
Centuries later came the Era of Silence, a lasting period of peace that revolved the world until the Pendulum Wars. Even though this era saw the conflict being solved with peace, it also saw the rise of crime and civil liberties, among other social issues, into what became highly regarded as the Golden Age of culture, arts, and science. Energy became the biggest worry for all civilizations at that point. Petroleum and nuclear fuel were rarity, and thus not enough to satisfy the global need. Imulsion became the source of great value, as it promised limitless energy, thus sparking the Gold Rush.

Nations
Mundus is divided politically into numerous nations, with major ones being Panem, Svalbard, Muscovy and Tartary.
