Introduction

A video game newly out for the XBox360 game console. The player takes the role of a mercenary in a conflict between three fictional nations in the (also fictional) Neroimus region, apparently located somewhere in Central Asia, southeast of the Black Sea.

The trailer of the game can be seen here

This is set on an Alternate History scenario, with a divergence point right after WWI (see "Timeline" in the mentioned site here. Therefore, fictional historical events are mentioned (such as a 1981-1992 Eastern European War), but the background includes many real-world elements, such as a collapsed Soviet Union. (I leave aside a lot of unrealistic details, such as toponimy and linguistics, which do not change abruptly in two or three decades, but I account it for the usual handicaps of this particular brand of scenario-builders.)

I found a map here. Too bad it is utterly silly.

Democratic Republic of Tarakia

by Eugene Ipavec, 3 December 2006

This Republic is modeled on one of the more Western-oriented states of Eastern Europe, perhaps the Czech Republic. Declared independence in 1992 - prior to that was apparently part of a larger entity, though not the USSR. Flag resembles a Canadian pale with nothing in the center, and with the two sidebars divided vertically: dark blue, yellow, light blue, yellow, dark blue.

On the previously mentioned site, under language for this nation it say ŤEnglishť: Surely these are the good guys!

Republic of Morskoj

by Eugene Ipavec, 3 December 2006

A former Soviet republic. Flag is a red/black bicolor with thin white stripe in the middle and an odd white-fimbriated black emblem of some kind, a bit reminiscent of an Orthodox cross rotated 45 deg. Borders on the Black Sea; probably based on the Ukraine, "morsko" being a Slavic root meaning "of the sea."

Kingdom of Sal Kar

by Eugene Ipavec, 3 December 2006

Petromonarchy, arid and desertlike. Ethnically Turkish; otherwise seems a lot like Saudi Arabia. Flag has three unequal vertical stripes at hoist: black, yellow, orange, proportions approx. 5:1:1; the rest of the field is diagonally divided green/yellow, with an orange emblem in the center.
