History on the Free Zones,

The Free Zones for the most part were set up and or decided on the migration of people to area's that might help protected them either because of mountains or geographical locations in some regards. Norway, Finland, and Sweden ended up the largest of the Free zones. Followed closely by Mongolia, Morocco, and Madagascar. Ireland, and Scotland also became Free Zones, as did a Mountainous Area of Northern Italy, and the Southern part of France connected to said Mountains. The only country of shelter for refugees in the Middle East besides Madagascar was Turkey.

A Number of the Island Nations, like the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as places like Thailand and Japan a few others, in Asia also become Free Zone's. The primary reason for the free people of the free world to flee to some of these places was more for the stance they took and the fact like in the case of Indonesia, it had a lot of space, as well as a lot of islands. And any Military Campaigns against it would be a waste of time. And that is one of the primary reason's many people had picked the area's they ended up in.

The Yukon, as well as Peru, and Chile became the Free Zone Area's in the Americas. It was quickly decided early into the war that the Free zones would try to help provided for all the refugees that fled the war into there countries or area's. The Free Zones even formed a United Nations of Sorts to help defend and protected there rights to shelter the people affected. Many of them helped supply food for the ones that were more affected then others and needed time to grow into the job. Many had thought Brazil would have become a Free Zone, but when it had not people were quite confused as a whole. The Real Shocker came when it turned out Cuba would take in Refugees, and give them work and train them and house them and so on. This really sent a shock through the international community during the war. So Cuba end up a Free Zone as well for the Americas. The Only Free Zone's as in area's not affected by war in the United States was Colorado and Utah.

The war was mainly fought in area's of Europe and The Middle East as well as some parts of Asia, mainly China and some parts of Russia and the United States. Which explains the spread of the Free Zones as a whole, The Free Zone's are not to suggest that the whole world went to hell these are just the Countries that took in people who wished to stay out of the conflicted. Much like how the United States took in refugees during World War I and II. But this war had affected most of the world in a bad way.

Most of the countries at war even sent resources and aid to the Free Zones to try and provide for the residents of there lands that fled to them but things got hard after the first 15 or so years of the war. The supply of resources slow started to slow down in regards to the aid from the war torn parts of the world. the governments started to focus their resources more on the suffering with in their own countries and even then the aid they gave the citizens still lacked compared to what the refugees had been and still getting. The war went on for 50 years, hate and so on raged on many sides of the world for many reasons.

The support of refugees in some regards was not held in high regards by many countries citizens and it was realized by the Free Zone Nations that they would have to consider building a larger Army, to be capable of protecting there piece of the world or should I say peace in the world either way it works. This fell on the countries to consider possible plans for enacting an Army. The Free Zone Nations realized at the end of the World War, that they would need even more to consider amassing an army in case war was to break out again.

They knew for the most part they had some years to consider this. And that it mostly will fall on the next generation not the current to conflicted any possible issue or upraising of resentment against the refugees at the end of the war. All thou the refugees of the Free Zones were not treated with the most respect many made a better living then the people of the nations at war. This was impart do to the fact that the Free Zones had a bit more stable economy, that had better controls on the costs of resources and things people might want or need. So the refugees were allowed some resources because of the support of other governments, as well as the work they did to support themselves to allow for a bit better living.

It took time for many of the Free Zones to Establish the clean water, and sewage and power requirements for the numbers of people fleeing into there countries. It also took time for them set up more permanent housing as well as stable schools and hospitals. So in some regards, the influx in the population in many of these places helped to make jobs and improve the social standing of the Free Zone communities in places were they normally did not have many of these standards. It also made it so more roads were built and better bridges and other things. Which helped supply work for many of the refugees, early on many refugees slowly applying for citizenship in many of these countries. Which later during the war was only granted to people with serviceable skills on entry, doctors, teachers the likes.

Many rules were often applied to refugees early on, to help the nation they ran to help identify fleeing criminals and the likes. They were not about to let people of questionable origin stay so it often took time for, the refugees to be placed into the permanent structure that had been built for them in many of these countries. Because often the countries had to get information from the country of origin in regards to there criminal records and other important information. So many refugees stayed in camp cities for extended periods well they toiled to build housing for the people they lived around as well as other civil constructions.

This information is all open to any refugee or citizen with in the Free Zone Nations, thou it is not often reported outside of them. It was considered outrageous to publish some of the information in regards to labor pay and other things early on til many of these Nations adjusted better to the changes in the world that turned them into the heavy population Free Country status or area worth, as a whole. And this is another thing that might upset people when they realized that the refugees had it hard, up in til the time when things started to shift.

History on the Americas

You see in the United states most of the conflicted was internal the freedom to do this and that had lead to issues. Which is one of the reason's the Free Zones had to be careful in some regards. The Free Zones within the United States during the war was often one of the only truly safe places in the United States. Differences in opinions ruptured the Country in two, but in the area between them the Free Zone was allowed to separate themselves from the combating groups. People were upset over the countries part during the first part of the war, and rather then keep paying to fight on the side of Israel, the western United States wished to stop the American deaths in far off counties. They had tired of paying for wars that were just going to lead to death. This fractured the country and the United Stated during a time in which, the world needed it to maintain it's solid stance or standing. Broke into and a second Civil War broke out in the Americas.

Canada had sided with the West coast, well Mexico had sided with the East. The United States was split down the line from the Dakota's all the way to Texas almost as in a straight line. Texas being on the side of the West was a real shock to the people on the west coast in this regards. But it was welcomed all the same, also the states of Alaska, Vermont, New Hampshire, as well as Maine also sided with the West. As well as Florida but by this time global warming had made it a very small state. One of the reason's it was felt that Mexico had sided with the East was in hopes of maybe getting away with recapturing Texas in their name. But Utah and Colorado, did not wish to take sides. Utah did it because of religious reasons, some felt this was not right because the primary issue of the war was of a religious nature but Colorado supported this view. Simply saying that it was a shame for a country to rip itself apart, and offered safe haven. Nevada also tried to take the stance of none involvement to become a safe haven as well but it was quickly decided by most of the West that if Nevada did that then the West would lose for sure. Because Nevada was one of the highest grossing states in the union, in other words they need the bankroll of Nevada to endeavor the issue. And most of the fighting happen in the South, thou true to the suspected nature of Mexico's involvement they often attacked Texas and Arizona.

Canada Quickly decided that the Free Zone in there country for anyone who wish to endeavor a harsh but more free life. Then normal based on the war at hand it was made clear, they should move to the Yukon out of the range of weapons and problems for the most part. As for the Free Zone, Canada had coined the term first. They also made it clear that the Free Zone was independent of the country of Canada and any citizen is free to leave to it if they should wish. But they also made it clear that just because it was an independent nation, that they would still supply support. And After Canada did this, similar things happen with Utah and Colorado when each state realized even if they are going to fight a war they needed a safe place for people to live without conflicted should they wish. Free Zones were often treated much like hospitals and many other kinds of buildings during times of war.

Many of the South American countries took much the same stance they had during most of the the other wars, only difference was many of them became free zones should anyone wish to move to them. Mexico and Columbia are the only countries that entered the war in the Americas thou Brazil did supply armies to fight Columbia to help stem the flow of drug money and resources from Columbia. And many other countries did as a whole support and aid Brazil in some ways to allow them to do this even if they had not physically entered the general conflicts.

Histroy for Europe the Middle East and Parts of Africa.

Most of the European countries went to war with the Middle East and parts of Africa were also involved and all thou for the most part one could not expressly say that the wars being fought with in Africa were to do with the World war, much of Africa was affected by unrest. Islamic nations with Africa and government parties started to attack and bomb many area's with in Africa as well as Europe in support of the war in the Middle East. Ireland having had a religious civil war against the Christian churches or differences there with in were one of the first in this conflicted to step aside.

Most of Africa had some conflicted going on on a civil or international level between nations, much in the nature as it always had. And this is one of the reason's Madagascar had become a Free Zone. But a famine and raising sea levels as well as a large part of Africa sinking into the sea did not help the over all global climate in Africa at the time of World War III. Many area's much like it always had were controlled by warlords much like in the Middle East. Egypt was supporting the Partisans to retake the West bank, and take control of Israel which in fact is the primary thing that started the whole war. It also did not help that Iran and a number of other Nations in the area also supported these actions.

Ireland felt that the conflicted if it included suicide bombers was not a conflicted they wish to take part in. Because the country itself was deeply seeded in similar behaviors from the history the country has. With Sweden and Norway and Finland as well as Scotland Ireland was the one to start the Free Zone movements in Europe. Which was a welcomed behavior based on the way that Islamic in the late 2000's had moved to recruiting people of all races and cultured in many countries to do there dirty work for them. Ireland also made it clear anyone making or dealing with explosives in a Free Zone Nation will be dealt with harshly. Often by another nation, normally if at all possible the nation they had intended there attack against.

As normal, war broke out in France during World War III. The Spanish had gotten tired of Border Issues and had taken to war in the name of there country to expand there Borders, The Russian's for the most part were supplying armies to other nations to allow or help defend. Russian became a major Mercenary Force, and they pushed a fine line in regards to the conflicts. They made it clear they were not supplying mass armies to any one nation at any one area. So in some regards they were acting like Scotland or Canada or Sweden had in guards to the United Nations. Only difference is that the Russians sided with the groups that would mostly win anyway, But this behavior quickly upset the Chinese. Pakistan was under attack from India and this made the Chinese wish to take control of India and Pakistan but with the Russians acting as arms dealers and mercenaries this was a huge problem for China's plans.

Indo-Asia's History

Most of the Smaller or low population nations through out the world were not affected much, by World War III besides the fact that most of the national support that many had been getting were going to the support of the Free Zone Nations, or ones own country. And this more so then many is true of many Nations in the Asia and European area's. Thou many had Armies that did in fact stand guard of there lands, or get hired out to preform attacks against other nations in the name of the nations that hired them. Vietnam is a good example of this, as well as Cambodia. All of the small countries between, India and China had been captured by China besides Burma who had offered to help supply food to China's troops.

Thailand was allowed to stay free, as a Free Zone as soon as they announced it a long with many other Island Nations, Malaysia benefited from the stance of the governments around it having taken the Free Zone stance so geographically it helped protected Malaysia. Twain was also recaptured by China, which almost forced the United States to go to war with China. America had decided so long as the Philippines and Japan stay free of Chinese rule they would have to let Twain take one for the team.

Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, as well as Australia showed support for Britain and Europe. And was also helping India fight off China in the name of the British Crown, thou it was also considered that The United Kingdom had considered retaking control of India but China beat them to the punchline. So as a whole it is quite easy to see how the world had gone to hell over a war that had started in the Middle East and slow moved out words. Many Nations had minor civil wars, around the same time they had been at war a while and had been forced to pull forces out of major conflicted area's to take back control of there nation. But in the end, like in the case of the United States Two Nations.

The Free Zone had been formed during the conflicted. Much to the reason many nations got smaller or renamed, many of the Free Zones just went by a number because it was easier then having a national Identity because it prevented conflicted with other nations in some regards to not take an active name beyond. Being part of the Free Zone Nation Union, the Idea the name of the Idea. Had and seem to maintain some respect and ability to operate.

It is also important to know that only one nuclear attack happen to be set off during World War III, was in Israel by an extremist group and happen at the start of the war. And it is near impossible for the rest of the world to find information on the origin of said group, which is part of the reason The West Coast of the United States refused to support the war, and Civil War broke out. And although people fled area's to find safety, and so on in mountains and so on, no biological or nuclear attacks beyond the first one ever came.
