Well I had a game system I really liked, but I needed a background. Dark future, war between the haves and the have-nots in America. But I asked for someground into Europe and felt that needed to be really expounded upon. It takes current events a little further. The Western powers write the EU charter to give them all the benefits of the East's labor. They refuse to give the former soviet satellites full power. At the same time, the West (france and germany) lower their guard as the US has gone totally PC, a total sociallist dystopia (that is where the setting will be initially).
The middle east has erupted into civil war over the accidentally nuking of Mecca by terrorists trying to hide a suitcase nuke from the Mossad, so the Eastern nations have bulked up. After Russia fragments due to internal corrupt, and China soon after for similar reasons, the eastern powers gear up their military for obvious reasons. The two leading nations in that effort are Poland and Ukraine, who attract other satellite nations of their own. When France forbids the Eastern powers from pacifying the Balkans by force instead of babysitting them, basically WW3 breaks out. Poland invades Germany to force the EU's hand. Nations take sides, stay neutral or sit the fence. The EU still helps the US government suppress their people through either luxuries or force, while the Eastern bloc (including Britain) provides aid to the rebels.
The Eastern bloc's forces are called NDAC, which is an acronym in polish for freedom fighters. It's also one letter off from their word for nation, something the polish take proudly.
