Op-ed: the fading of the world

January 5624

Yishelem - "There have been plenty of curves on the international stage", Professor M'abite, Head of the International Relations Department of the Nihasim University of Yishelem writes; "each curve, from Dorvik to Beiteynu, from Beiteynu to Canrille and the Neset, from the Neset to N&D and N&D to the Ananto Empire and beyond, plenty have come and gone, but the silence is now eerily worrying, like the calm before the hurricane".

Professor M'abite then quickly chronicles the world's passing events since 5199:

• 1st Malivian Crisis of modern times
  
• 3rd Solentian Civil War
  
• Kundratijan Emergency of 5245
  
• The toppling of the dictatorship in Baeguk (former Dankuk)
  
• The sanctions against Trigunia at the onset of the 54th century
  
• The breaking of the Triumvirate between Dorvik, Lourenne and Beiteynu
  
• 2nd Malivian Crisis
  
• Jacobean Cildania
  
• Bloody Coup of Kafuristan and the founding of the Vamaj Network
  
• Badaran Civil War
  
• The restoration of the Yeudi Monarchy in 5406
  
• War of Lost Souls between Beiteynu and Lourenne (Hubris War)
  
• 2nd Empire of the Jelbic Peoples
  
• A short 4th Solentian Civil War
  
• Le Cafard between Beiteynu and Xsampa
  
• The dismantling of Beiteynu and the nuking of Metz-Leonid
  
• The rise and fall of SocIntern and Istalian communism
  
• A crisis in Majatra between the Jelbic Empire, Pontesi and SEM (Istalia)
  
• The Kundratijan Situation
  

All-in-all, he further comments, from a single-point of consolidated regional focus in Haldor, to a global-level alignment between Yishelem and Eroncourt - and by extension a joining of forces between the world of Canrille and the Neset (Yeudi Diaspora), the world has made 3 leaps in 450+ years:

1. A regional voice dominating global affairs => and collapsing
   
2. Two global voices leading global affairs => and ultimately clashing
   
3. Multiple regional voices clashing => and dominating global affairs
   

Thus, he concludes, the world has pivoted from a Dorvish dominating voice to the leadership of Beiteynuese and Lourennais principles to multiple forces clashing, from the Ananto Empire and Kalistan and Lodamun to Kundrati, Likatonia, Luthori and from the furthest reaches of Dovani: Xsampa.

With all these clashing voices recently focusing inwards regionally, will the world witness, yet again, another regional voice dominating global affairs, ultimately bound to collapse just as Dorvik did in the 54th century?

Is history going to repeat itself, ultimately giving birth to the next global alliance of two or more parts?

"A cycle of regional collapse to global rise, collapse and regional rise, once again", he concludes.
