The year 2060 finds the Middle East reduced to scattered hyper-capitalist enclaves, clinging to existence through ruthless adaptation.
Scarred by ancient conflicts and the comparatively recent planetary cataclysm initiated by Oumuamua and its synthetic nano-parasites (SNP/NanoSinp) payload, these fortified zones house approximately 10 million humans.
The primary concentration of this population resides in the former UAE (which absorbed Oman), the drastically diminished Egypt (now mostly comprising the Sinai Peninsula and half of former Israel, including Tel Aviv), and the coastal areas of Kuwait, Bahrain and southern Iraq.
The dual crisis triggered by the SNP/NanoSinp WMD and the subsequent BioSev contamination caused by the Vaccine Genocide shattered the region. Cognitive decline and societal breakdown fueled existing tensions, erupted into brutal conflicts and accelerated the collapse of nations.
The powerhouse of Saudi Arabia dissolved decades prior, leaving only Mecca and Medina as isolated sites for vastly diminished pilgrimages; Jeddah is slowly rebuilding after suffering a devastating nuclear strike in 2055, attributed to Von-der-Leyenist terrorists originating from collapsing central European power structures.
Qatar lies silent, quarantined after being ravaged by a mysterious plague, while Lebanon persists only in fragments north of its ruined former capital. Yemen remains isolated by desert, inhabited by techno-barbarians and esoteric VR Umma communities, separate from the hyper-capitalist complex.
Within these surviving enclaves, survival and status are dictated entirely by access to NeoGuard™, the treatment essential for mitigating the cognitive and physical toll of actively fueled SNP contamination.
Society is ruthlessly stratified: a heavily guarded elite maintains functional control, monopolizes NeoGuard™ distribution and presides over a vast, bioinsecure workforce.
These interconnected hubs operate within a system defined by dependence on the life defining treatment, stringent corporate control and the pervasive legacy of the dual crisis.
It is a harsh landscape shaped by the ultimate capitalist human filtration process, where the mechanics of exploitative hyper-capitalism endure amidst the ruins of nations.
| Faction/Zone Type | Specific Location/Group | Estimated Population (2060) | Biosecurity Status / Key Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyper-Capitalist Zones (Gulf/Levant) | Total Gulf/Levant Enclaves | ~10 Million | Bioinsecure (~80%) / Elite NeoGuard™ SNP-dormant (~20%). Stratified access to treatment defines status. |
| - UAE Enclave Core (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, incl. absorbed former Oman) | ~6.0 Million | Dominant hyper-capitalist financial and corporate hub. Highest security & deepest stratification. | |
| - Egypt Remnant (Sinai Peninsula & Former Israel territories incl. Tel Aviv) | ~2.5 Million | Controls key territory between Africa and Asia. Strategically vital but formed from collapsed states. NeoGuard dependent. | |
| - Jeddah (Former Saudi Arabia - Reconstructing) | ~0.5 Million | Slowly rebuilding after 2055 nuclear strike. Limited function. Mecca/Medina exist nearby as isolated, diminished pilgrimage sites only. | |
| - Kuwait / Bahrain / S. Iraq Coastal Enclaves | ~1.0 Million (Combined) | Smaller coastal footholds focused on limited port activity/resource control. Less developed than UAE core. | |
| - Lebanon Fragments (e.g., 'New Beirut' area) | < 50,000 (Negligible) | Insignificant population, highly fragmented remnants north of ruined Old Beirut. | |
| Other Regional Zones | - Qatar Exclusion Zone | Effectively 0 | Eradicated by plague, quarantined, uninhabited. |
| - Yemen (Isolated) | Unknown (Techno-Barbarian / VR Umma) | Geographically isolated by desert. Not part of the hyper-capitalist complex. Population consists of techno-barbarians and VR Umma groups. | |
| - Former Saudi Arabia (Interior) | Effectively 0 (Outside Jeddah/Pilgrimage sites) | Vast majority of territory collapsed and empty. |
