Time for a confession, I like History and Geography. You know those subjects in school that everyone calls useless? Love em. So This oneshot will have a lot of historical and geographical terms, jokes, and whatnot. But I promise they aren't boring (The first section maybe, but please, just stick around. Or skip it if you like), history and geography can be quite fun. Especially Polandball/Countryballs. But enough about that.

This oneshot is formatted by far the weirdest out of all of them. So apologies for that. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy!

The Earth is a vast place. Everyone knows that. No matter where you live, you are probably aware of the size and scale of the world. From incredibly modern areas such as New York, to the isolated strongholds of North Korea, the knowledge that you are not alone is ever prevalent in humanity.

At first, it all used to be one. Actually, multiple times. Pangea's, even though that was only the name for the most recent cluster of land, is what they're called. Pangea's would be any modern dictator's wet dream. Nowhere for your citizens to flee to, and no one to come save them. Just a small, or large, mass of land with people to rule over.

However, there hasn't been a Pangea in over 300 million years. And with the state of the Earth, it seems they are headed towards land being separated more than it coming together. And that loss of land poses a serious challenge for those with a tyrannical agenda.

The number one enemy of tyrannical rulers has been, for the longest time, the oceans. The Nazi's never planned to invade the America's due to the long voyage it would take across the oceans, even though there were millions of ethics Jews living in the Americas. The English Channel is credited to be the sole reason the British never fell, as that small strip of water prevents any and all land invasions into the British Isles. And when the Mongols tried to invade Japan by boat, they were stopped by a Hurricane. This may very well be why Japan has never been invaded.

Point is, the oceans are a dictator's greatest enemy. But, what if everyone was a dictator? What if every country on Earth had signed a Mutual War Agreement Pact (Otherwise known as MWAP. I know, funny sounding), and initiated a free for all to see who could claim the largest empire? Well, the ocean problem would be null and void. The only exception being a few isolated island nations, such as Australia and Madagascar.

Now, naturally, countries would turn down this Pact. War is bad for the economy, bad for your people, bad for general society. But in a world of dictators, that's not going to fly. Countries that don't sign the pact, such as Poland, Germany, and Argentina, well they'd be swiftly overrun, and then abandoned. Left as new countries, for the empires to "colonize." It would be mad free for all.

Now, I need to mention something. All of this isn't just a hypothetical, it's real, and happening right now. Over 80 of Earth's most powerful individuals rose to lead a country, and initiated the MWAP. They have all gathered at the Centre of War, which is hovering just above Earth, and are about to put the MWAP into effect. I am Icer, former Canadian resident before Joker rose to power, and I am broadcasting this free for all as a television show to your planets from my spaceship, the ICEN. This is Dictators: No Peace.
