Subscribed. Currently traveling about Colombia but I'll be back in the States on Saturday. I've got some great inspiration for a character but could I get a primer on the state of South America since the main focus seems to be on North America & the Soviet Bloc? I'm currently trying to get through the resources provided but the internet is not playing nice with my phone. >_<

Yeh, as mentioned, the Soviets split up. The references aren't what we're necessarily using as a background/lore, but more for you to get acclimated to the setting and to give you ideas as to what you might want to explore. South and Central America fluctuated based on areas, political situations, etc. Some nations were politically stable, and succumbed to corporate control by "peaceful" means, often by corporations buying large plots of land and also lobbying within these governments. Some countries had militants or criminal organizations (think people similar to the Contras, or the Narcos) companies were able to exploit to further their interests within the Corp Wars, giving them land, resources, and power. 

This universe is essentially an offshoot of our own timeline, so if you want to incorporate your knowledge of the area and expand the backstory of these areas as they progressed into the future, go right ahead.
