Seems like just some HOI IV chud mod created by chud devs who added their fantasies to the mod.

The year is 2020. The United States and Iran are locked in a Cold War-era standoff, while a mysterious novel virus has been spreading uncontrollably through central China. Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other nations brace for the shockwaves of a volatile oil market, and the Syrian Civil War enters an uncertain phase.

In America, tensions are reaching a breaking point. The nation teeters on a profound social unrest — just one spark away. Disillusionment with the government grows as Congress and the people drift further apart as it is seen more and more as an institution incapable of making meaningful change. Across the country, communities prepare for the unknown. Guns are being displayed openly in numbers never seen before.

The worst is yet to come.

The fire rises, and the stage is yours. The peace that has persisted across the globe for 80 years will falter, and war across all continents will bring about a New World, forged in the flames of war and christened with the blood of millions.

The Fire Rises is a mod set in a world not too far from our own, and it's small differences... a dead king here, some increased tension there... set its universe on a completely different path, but still a path that feels eerily familiar to our own.

All factions within TFR are real life organizations or closely built to mirror certain groups, and are represented as their organization would view themselves. Your play-through will always represent you as the right side of history, just as these groups believe. This mod is also very difficult and aims to provide a challenge to all of its players, so keep that in mind while playing!

The peace that has persisted across the globe for 80 years

What fucking world peace? Where was peace for the Koreans. For the Vietnamese. For the Iraqi. For the Libyans. For the Afghans. For the Yugoslavs. For all the many wars in Africa. All the wars in the last 80 years.

What "peace" was it for all the people in countries the CIA fucked with?

Europe hasn’t gone to war and therefore global peace has been achieved

Yeah based on this description alone I am 100% in support of China telling them to shut the fuck up
