What is The Multiversal Emergency?

Yo, mates, what's up? Andy Coupe here, and now we're talkin' about the TME.

Nah, don't you worry, pal, no cameras recording this conversation we have. Except for that creep Miyamoto. He always peeks into people's brains.

Over the years that the Paradox fan wikis have been in operation, pretty much every corner of the Earth has had both major and minor factions based in it, and we've even seen factions from outside this world. Some writers, having great faction ideas but nowhere on earth to put them, opted to put their factions on another earth.

These alternate timelines would soon get more factions. Sadly, although these factions were interesting in their own right, the Paradox Universe was already filled to bursting. Where could a creative writer flesh out his brave new world?

The Multiversal Emergency (or also The Universal Emergency) is a space for writers to create entire universes that they want. Also, if you have a universe in your head that you would place in a wiki, this is one of the best places to put it. The other I know of is Quantum Group. Just type in (quantum.creativereactor.ru/index.php?title=Main_Page) and you're good to go!

Redsverse
Current Year: 2017

Originally conceived of by Jello Biafra of alternatehistory.com and then adapted into Red Alert, Redsverse is a distillation of Red Alert into a more tightly focused setting rather than something of a mirror universe for Paradox.

In the Redsverse; a few major alterations to the timeline occur; namely America undertakes a different path; thanks to a strangling of the progressive movement in its crib, a more unified socialist movement, and an early entry into the first world war; America undergoes a Communist revolution in 1933 when the American Communist Workers Party and its Democratic Farmer Labor allies win a crushing electoral victory in the 1932 elections; only to be met with an attempted fascist putsch in March. Defeating the fascists, a new Union of American Socialist Republics was declared, not joining, but usurping the Soviet Union in the Comintern as the USSR found itself but a junior partner to the UASR. The revolution spread southward, bringing most of Latin America save for the Brazillian integralists and their satellites into the fold. This however, prompts fascist reaction in France and Britain, who fall shortly after into the abyss of darkness and form the Alliance of Free States in response.

After an indecisive second world war that saw the Comintern expand slightly, the Alliance's chief researcher; Geoffrey, forms his own army in secret while the Empire of Japan amasses its own massive army to bring about the divine wind. In a devastating four way world war, all are once again left with only minor gains. By now the Alliance has returned to liberal democracy, while the Comintern prepares to advance to true communism.

Concordiatverse
Current Year: 1976

The original AU within the TME, the Concordiatverse originated from a point of divergence in the late 8th century, when the Norse people unified their religious beliefs into a system that allowed the people to be unified and resist the advent of Christianity. Such a seemingly minor change to world history has seen a massive change to the world stage, with many things that almost make them completely unrecognizable to our own. While technology mixes the common mundane with advanced scientific wonders, this is a damaged and precarious timeline.

Currently, the Unification Concordiat, a organization of fascist entities that has arisen in the wake of the Great War and the Alien Wars, is forced to deal with the remnants of the previous world threatening power, the Directorate - previously a coalition of seven imperialist European monarchies and the victorious Confederate States. To add to this, the warloving Norse, a premier power in this world, is biding its time with its allies, in order to strike against the Concordiat and Directorate and eliminate them for good. To add to this complicated political landscape, there is the multinational Russian Tsardom, the Yuan Khanate channelling both the Chinese and Mongolian Empires, the conniving and plotting Uchiwa Shogunate of Japan, the Incan lordships of the Andes, and finally, the Zoroastrian Shogdian Shahdom of Persia. This is not to mention the intervention of the Aliens and other entities within this world. Sooner or later, all these powers are going to clash yet again, in another conflict that is set to change this world for good.

Avalonverse
Current Year: 1967

The Avalonverse is an alternate history universe in which a series of different choices during the Napoleonic War, such as an invasion of the British Isles in 1804 and an greater Anglo-American conflict during the war of 1812 has lead to a vastly different timeline where the high period of Imperialism never went out of fashion. A universe where the British Empire is still alive and in full swing during the 60's, where the European Union exists as a Imperial coalition headed by the Napoleonic French Empire, and where the American Civil War stretched from 1860 to 1878, causing the USA to become religious, xenophobic Imperialists bent on world domination. Technology is advanced in some aspects, with electrical weaponry, massive land warships and humanesque automata being the flavour of the day, but politics is very much stuck in a pre WW1 mindset.

Other than the triumvirate of Avalon, L'Entente and the Enclave, various other major players have emerged, or are at least hoping to become major players. Nations such as Japan, Russia, and a South American Alliance are all established as nipping at the heels of the Big Three powers, and Ankara and Ch'in are one the cusp between being a regional power, and being a contender. A universe filled with plotting, manipulation and is teetering on the brink of absolute war, it's only a matter of time before the war machines are readied to descend the globe into total war, and even further on the path to total annihilation.

Patriotverse
Current Year: 2001

Patriotverse is an alternate history universe that posits the rise of a Stratocracy in America, the United Republic of American Citizens, following a massive Communist uprising that resulted in the assassination of FDR and all out civil war. Set against the backdrop of successful Communist revolutions in the United Kingdom and France, leading to the rise of the British International Communes and the French Syndicated Worker's Cooperatives respectively. The rise of Communism polarises the world yet further. The rise of reactionary conservatives and Integralists in South America, sponsored by the URAC, leads to the creation of an Integralist bloc in South America, composed around Brazil and its satellites. Similarly a coalition of National Socialists, conservatives, reactionaries and Anti-Communists rise to power, initially through peaceful, democratic means, before using Emergency Powers bequeathed to the Weimar President to declare the reformation of the German Reich.

As 1944 approached, and communism spread further and further across the world, the URAC, Germany, Japan and the Integralist Bloc met in Munich, in what is now known as the Munich Conference, to declare the creation of the Axis of Order, as an alliance of Anti-Communist powers designed to confront the charging Communist juggernaut.

In 1945, World War 2 erupted and after seven years of brutal warfare it ended in December 1952, in the infamous Zurich conference. After seven years and the loss of millions upon millions of lives, Zurich was seen by many as a outrage, few changes were made territorially, and whilst the new Greater German Reich and the Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere were officially established for the losses and monetary costs, both the Axis and Comintern endured, the status-quo was almost entirely upheld. Since then, the world has been gripped by a Cold War, marked by feuding regional powers and insurgencies against the greater powers. Much of Asia and Africa has descended into perpetual conflict, caught between the powers of the Axis and the Comintern. As 2001 dawns, great cracks have appeared within both the Axis and the Comintern. Within the Axis, the Germans, Americans and Japanese have formed their own blocs, seeking to drive the coalition in the direction of their interests. The Comintern, likewise, is extremely fractured, whilst the British and the French remain committed to the propagation of Socialist, Liberal and Communist teachings across the world, the Soviets are increasingly becoming resistant to such efforts, taking to funding rogue and brutal regional powers such as the big tent militant political movement, the People's Army of Africa, and the agrarian-narco states that are the People's Asian Dynasties of Cambodia, Laos and Burma. Tensions between the British and the Arabic Socialist Federation, particularly their radical Islamic Socialist wing, in regards to Zionist settlements in the Palestinian Commune, threatens to turn cross-border skirmishes into full-blown war and permanently splinter the Comintern.

In the darkness also, lurks the new bloc, the New World Order, led by the Philosopher Group, a hidden alliance of democrats, oligarchs and business figures, founded in the wake of the rise of Communism, Fascism and Stratocracy. seeking to return a democratic, albeit oligarchic, system to the world in the model of ancient Athens and the Roman Republic, operating advanced technology and weapons. At their side also is Task Force Chimera, formerly an Axis research task force, since going rogue it has become an extreme, darwinist terrorist group, advocating advanced human evolution in order to ensure only the strongest of humanity survive. As new forces rise and old orders shatter, Patriots shall rise and either lead the world into a new age, or a baptism of nuclear fire.

Apathyverse
Current Year: 1974

Oh God no. God no. I don't want to explain this one. Look up the NationStates account by the name of (Apathyverse). If he's here, I'm gonna murder myself (sadly I can't. Immortality and [censored])

Phoenixverse
Current Year: 2017

Our own universe. You can also call it by Elysiaverse, though Phoenixverse is the standard way of referring to it.
