Authors note: Guess who's back? Maybe not me...I THOUGHT OF THIS STORY IN LIKE...30 MINUTES.

HERE WE GO.

Corrupted Faith: Prologue

The year is 4029. Nuclear warfare had broken out; the United Nations is no more. The kings and queens had made a comeback, and everyone was left to fend for themselves. Countries were torn apart and conquered by surrounding Empires… Trust didn't exist anymore. No one was safe.

Many different outbreaks of new diseases and plagues raged across the globe, killing even more people than had already died in the wars. All the countries were crying for help, but most of the time no one came to their aid. The nations who had become too weak to support themselves joined with the countries that still had power, Like Germany or Russia, or simply made their own Empire and began to pillage and conquer other areas. This is the world we live in. We are no longer united, but we are split into different Empires, being treated like cattle. Like we don't matter.

The Severnyy Empire, located in the North, consists of Russia, Scandinavia, The Baltic States, Belarus, Ukraine and Holland. Russia is the powerhouse of the Empire. It's where it started, and it is Russia who makes the rules. The German Empire, run by Germany, consists of most of the countries in Central Europe. The Dong Dynasty, in the East, consists of China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and several of other Island countries, even Australia. The West consisted of the Americas, Canada, and Greenland.

Finally there is the Middle East, now known as the Ottoman Empire. Once Turkey became aware of the weak countries around him, they had no choice but to join him. By letting then join him, he gained loads of power and the Ottomans reappeared. They conquered the Mediterranean and most of North Africa.

Central and South Africa never created an Empire, and isn't really worth much, but that territory is always being fought over by The Ottomans and the Germans. I guess the more land you own, the more power you have.

My name is Lukas Bondevik. I am the country of Norway, and the only one who hasn't lost sight of hope. Life isn't the same. It hasn't been the same since 2050. Allow me to explain. America's government became corrupt with attention craving politicians and disgusting pi-like presidents. You could say that it was America's fault that this whole dilemma came to be, but at the same time it just isn't true. It's these blasted humans that are to blame. Now you might say, "But aren't you human too?" Well, we look like humans, but we're different. We're immortal. We've lived through wars, depressions, and world crises. We're wiser due to all of our experience. We've seen things normal humans would never see in their life time. And we're stronger. No one could ever lift the weight that we countries have on our shoulders.

Now about my situation. After the war broke out, all of Scandinavia got together and decided that it would be best if we came back together, like back when we had the Kalmar Union, but this time the power would be distributed equally to all five of us. We did well for many years. We were prosperous; we were one of the only groups that were growing and becoming stronger. We were fine surviving on our own…Until something happened that would change us forever. We weren't expecting it at all, and we weren't expecting it to strike who it did first. One day America decided to show up on the shores of Iceland, saying that if he didn't go with him, he would take Iceland by force, even if it meant killing him. Of course someone's first reaction would be to resist, and that's what Iceland did…But he shouldn't have. Cries for help could be heard from across the sea, the pain and agony in Iceland's voice was gut-wrenching. Immediately I sent help, I wasn't going to leave him there to die, I wasn't going to let America take him…But America didn't care. He slaughtered all my men and ripped Iceland out of my arms.

I didn't leave. I kept fighting, even when it was clear that I lost, I still fought. I didn't want to leave him; I didn't want him to leave me but…I had no choice but to stop. I had to let him go. The pain I felt for the next hundred years was unexplainable. Now there were only four of us. We were a little weaker now, and many countries noticed. Especially Germany. Instead of extending out a helping hand like he used too, he grabbed hold of Denmark and dragged him away. Of course I stopped him. I fought eagerly to protect Denmark; I wasn't going to lose someone else. But knowing Germany, I was no match for him. He was too strong. By this time I had lost two of the most important people in my life, and I couldn't do a thing. I still curse myself for being so weak. Only if I was stronger, I could have helped them. They could have been here with me.

Shortly after, not even enough time for me to recover, Russia showed up on our doorstep and gave us a choice. Either we join him without a fight, or resist and be beat to death as he conquered us. We couldn't risk any more casualties so we gave in and joined him.

Every day is a struggle. None of us in the Empire get along. We all have different points and outlooks on things, so all we do is argue. Sweden, Finland and I tend to stay out of trouble by only talking with the Baltic States, minimizing most conversation with the others. It's hard, but we have to live this way. Everyone doubts that there will be any change in the world, and there might not be.

Or will there?

/So I don't know if editing at 2 AM is a good idea, but if there is a problem with this story I'll re-upload the document with the changes and stuff...

SO HEY GUYS! So I kinda went off the radar for about a year, and I apologize for doing so. I just had major writers block, yes for a whole year, but I have inspiration now! Please don't kill me ;w;

So this story is basically going to be about Norway trying to get the word to realize all its mistakes, ALL WHILE fighting to get Denmark and Iceland back. Cute right?

I'll be using their human names in this story, and I will use words and phrases in different languages (from Google Translate) so yeah! I am so not creative with he names for the Empires btw.

Severnyy - Russian for 'Northern'

Dong - Chinese for East

GERMANIC EMPIRE WOOT

OTTOMAN EMPIRE IS BACK BABY WOOT WOOT

If I am historically inaccurate, I'm sorry. I'm half dead right now. BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!
