INTRODUCTION
-- It's the early 33rd century and the human population has dwindled to a mere 2 million thanks to an artificial bio-weapon disease called "Carthage" that spread killing not only humans and animals, but the plants and the very ground itself, creating a near wasteland. Nations and large governments became unsustainable, so they split into smaller city states and in Europe many moved to the coast of the Mediterranean where some farmable lands still remained.
-- Now that the disease is gone and civilization is slowly growing again, there's a strong naval trade around the Mediterranean sea harking back to classical times. And among the humans are about 3 million AI automatons left over from better times who act as servants to humans and are still seen as mindless robots, though they very much think and feel like any normal human would, if not being more intelligent than humans.
-- In order to survive most of the city states send ships to claim coastal colonies with good farmland to grow food to bring back to the people in their cities, called Apoikias. They are often worked and inhabited by lower class people, prisoners, criminals and especially the AI robots who aren't needed elsewhere. Some bots are even chased down and killed to turn into scrap metal, especially if they've gone rogue.
CITY STATES
-- Barcelona
A flourishing large city state with many people but can be a bit chaotic. It has a strong military but it's not strict and a little corrupt in the higher levels.
Governor: open
-- Naples
A large, stable city state with a strong military and strict ruling. They're not so open to trade and outsiders and often keep to themselves.
Governor: open
-- Chania
A small city state on the west end of the island of Crete. Mostly a trading hub with not much of a military and keeps out of the business of other cities states. Sort of an open haven for all.
Governor: open
-- Mirage
A medium sized city state just where the Nile meets the sea, North of where Cairo used to be and is the newest of the cities. The people there are fairly reserved with a smaller population spread out over a larger area. They have some of the richest land by the nile so they don't deal much with getting apoikias.
Governor: open
SHIPS
Many characters may not be affiliated to any city state but live on a trading, military or pirate ship. Feel free to come up with a ship for your characters if you'd like.
-- The Sunflower
A large streamline trading barge made from mostly wood with steel frame, made in the style of a classical boat made with scrap metal and bits of modern boats that were ripped apart.
Captain: open
-- The Catalan Prince (El Príncipe Catalán)
A Spanish pirate ship originating from Barcelona. Made out of an old modern ship but outfitted to look like a pirate ship, built strong and with both steel and wood.
Captains: Idoya and Fortunata Abaroa.
