Eurasia
Lore
Eurasia is one of the three major Factions in The Forever Winter. Eurasian troops mostly consist of conscripted human-robot hybrids called Eurasian Cyborgs, ranging from the common, purely melee cyborg runner, to the steadfast and relentless Eurasian Brawler. The main infantry weapon of Eurasia is the P90 submachine gun. Eurasia is also dominant in the air with their choppers, wasp-like drones, and stealth planes deploying cyborgs from racks across the battlefield.
Sometime in the 21st century, Eurasia, a technologically advanced, dystopian serfdom, was strapped for resources due to its massive population, and the superpower was at Europa's throat. When tensions boiled over, Eurasia fired ICBMs at Europa's major governmental centers in what could be considered the opening salvo of the war; nuclear weapons were also fired at Europa's tactical satellites, creating space debris that makes it all but impossible for spacecraft and satellites to be launched safely into orbit. However, Eurasia's political leadership was wiped out and long-distance communications were lost due to Europa's nuclear response, and the initial interests and objectives of Eurasia's leaders were lost over time. In the meantime, Eurasia, alongside its ally, Euruska, invaded the Americas, including the megacity of Lost Angels on the West Coast of the former United States, at the same time that Europa invaded the Asian continent, kickstarting the long war that is the subject of The Forever Winter.
Civilian life in Eurasia remains marred by sky-high wealth inequality, police brutality, and involuntary conscription, the latter of which disproportionately affects Eurasia's poorest citizens, immigrants, and refugees. This conscription involves forced augmentation into cyborgs, which leaves conscripts with their sentience and self-awareness but strips them of their autonomy and self-control in favor of orders to kill Eurasia's enemies and fulfill Eurasia's aggressive frontline strategy. Successful completion of this objective rewards cyborgs with the maintenance needed to keep them alive. Eurasia's military forces are backed by cyberwarfare operations, a regional media department responsible for broadcasting propaganda, and an R&D unit that handles reverse-engineering stolen Europan technology. Eurasia's forces are supplied--and augmented by--several corporations, including Zaikatsu Biomedical, XAVAX, and the Hypax Group. In the Innards, the faction is represented by Kane, a cyborg officer charged with employing the Scavengers for mercenary work.
