A/N: This is going to be an epic project, assuming I see it through. I am going to chronicle how Tiberium has affected the Earth, one country at a time. I am using the Tiberium Earth map, downloadable from the EA website.

Here is how this will work. I will (using a random number generator) select three countries. Reviews will determine which one I pick. If there is a tie, or nobody reviews soon, I will decide. I will then write a chapter describing what the state of the country is, how Tiberium affected it, and if it played a role in any of the Tiberium Wars. I will then name another three countries, until we have described the effects on every single country. I am only naming nations that were sovereign in 1995 – sorry, East Timor. I will set the timeframe in 2044, after the Third Tiberium War.

My example piece shall be:

Antarctica

Zones: B-9 (see text)

In 1995, Antarctica was reserved for scientific research. Several nations had laid claims to Antarctica, but none had enforced them. The population consisted of about a thousand scientists. Its resources remained untapped, buried beneath the ice sheets.

Antarctica was completely unaffected by the First Tiberium War. Tiberium was discovered in the Queen Maud Land in 2003, but the severe cold restricted its spread. In 2017, Australia declared its intention to colonize the Australian Antarctic Territory. The venture was largely backed by Australian mining interests, and a pilot colony – New Sydney – was established in 2021.

New Sydney did not fail, despite many expectations. The location was good, near both a natural harbor and an iron mine. There was plenty of support from home until greenhouses and a fishing industry could be established.

The only problem was that a Tiberium meteorite had landed in central Australia in 2018. The Australian government collapsed a decade later, and the borders were redrawn. Antarctica became its own territory within the B-9 Blue Zone, with New Sydney as the capital.

By 2030, New Sydney was a thriving colony of about 10,000. It became a center for what remaining scientific research was being conducted in Antarctica – budget cuts having decimated the programs. In 2033, a second colony, New Perth, was established nearby.

Today, the Antarctic colonies continue to grow slowly. Plans for a third colony were proposed in 2042. But the outbreak of the Third Tiberium War put these plans on hold indefinitely.

A/N: Well, there you go. There isn't a single piece of information about Antarctica in any of the games, and the Tiberium Earth map is ambiguous. But in Tiberian Sun, people were gravitating to the polar regions, so I figured that at least one colony was reasonable.
