As the twenty-first century came closer to its end, the world's leaders felt optimistic about the future for the first time in a while. There hadn't been wars in Europe for well over a hundred years, and the constant advancing of technology and science granted people longer lifespans. Humans no longer had to worry about doing dangerous and physical work as intelligent, easily affordable robots came to the public market. Mankind was thriving, and as an unavoidable effect of the globalisation progress that had started in the previous century nations begun cooperating with each other more and more.
Members of the European Union officially merged into a federal state in the conference of Vienna, during the late year 2096. By that time China was the world's leading superpower both economically and militarily, and the United States of America had lost a significant amount of its international influence. Russia had slowly turned into a pseudo-democracy with a small shadow government consisting of the nation's elite pulling the strings on the background.
As bells rang for the new century, the age of decline begun. Governments had failed to stop the climate from changing, and dark clouds of pollution loomed over cities. Ice on the Antarctic begun melting, and the rising sea level brought disaster and distress.The dream was over, and people noticed the planet was running out of resources. First it was the oil, then basic life necessities such as food and clear water. The world superpowers soon realized they would have to fight for what was left to secure their very existence, as nobody was willing to share their reserves. The Middle East was the first to fall in the chain of conflicts that would later escalate into the third and final World War. First it was the Americans on their selfish pursuit for every last bit of oil for their machines, but Russia soon joined them in a devastating proxy war. At last, the European Federation sent in troops to "provide humanitarian aid and return peace to the region". The entire area had been wiped off the map by 2111.
Russia was still sitting on sizeable oil reserves, and the South-East Coalition lead by China begun an enormous assault to claim those for themselves. The Europan Federation took advantage and attacked as well, driving Russia to a war on two fronts. It was only a matter of time before America had joined in. Who was fighting who was very unclear at this point, and battles took place all over the Eurasian continent. Smaller countries usually aligned themselves with one of the military mights and sent in money and troops in exchange for protection.
The next conflicts were fought over the remaining ice in the Arctic. Everyone rushed in to harvest as much water as possible, leading to more fighting. And even more after that. Blood on ice.
It's now the year 2117, and there's no end in sight. As a European citizen of eligible age you have been chosen (forcibly conscripted) to fight in this war. Most of the active reserve has already been deployed to the eastern front, and there's no time to provide you with full military training. A government transport will soon arrive to take you to an orientation camp, after which you will be sent to assist our soldiers in defending the European people and their future. Refusing to cooperate is viewed as treason and punished by physical removal from the society. Ave, Europa, nostra vera patria!

Welcome to 2117! This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, but haven't really found the time for. I was originally going to host this on another forum but it never took off, meaning this is kind of a reboot but not really. As always, my word is law and meta or god rp isn't allowed. I'll later pick one of the recruits to lead the group. Feel free to invite your friends, I'm not yet sure how big the group should be.
