Main Governments

Eastern Powers

Gavanish Republic: Once a colony of the Tenebrim Empire. Libertarian socialism, Technocracy.
After WWII, the Gavanish Republic used Hetzenstahl and Bellerophon technology and scientists to develop their EMFGH program.Lysi Federation: Nationalistic, Communist, Republic.

Western Powers

Tenebrim Empire: Nationalistic, Capitalist, Authoritarian, Oligarchy, Hegemonic rule over many states on their continent.
Despite being authoritarian, you’re fairly legally and socially free to do what you want in Tenebrim (outside a few major rules.) However, that includes starving to death or dying in a ditch if you happen to be poor or disabled.Bellerophon Commonwealth: Constitutional monarchy, Liberal democracy, Capitalist.Hetzenstahl: Presently under joint occupation by the Tenebrim Empire and Bellerophon Commonwealth.
The occupation is presently dismantling an Authoritarian Military Dictatorship that lost in the last World War.
Tenebrim and Bellerophon are engaged in less than civil politics over the new government that should be installed in Hetzenstahl.

Cyborgs/Robots

Cyborgs

Cybernetic limbs as replacements for limbs lost in war are not completely unknown.
More commonly used within the Gavanish Republic, but they’re being adopted in other parts of the world.
Preemptive limb replacement and bodily enhancement is beginning to be done to certain elite soldiers. It’s a new science and so prohibitively expensive that only governments or oligarchs can afford to have it done. It’s still cheaper to build battle bots or droids than it would be to create cyborg soldiers.

Robots

The science of robotics has made significant advancements in recent decades. Robots aren’t uncommon or out of place within most societies. They’re still a bit of a status symbol, but they’re also the hot new item in the Tenebrim Empire. Granted, House bots/droids are all little more than redesigned combat robots. Some scientists, engineers, technicians and other thinkers are suggesting that they pose potential dangers to people and society.
Most models are not terribly advanced and require a lot of input, commands and control from their human owners/handlers. In combat, they require human handlers for every squad of androids. This also happens to make the handler into a massive target for enemy fire, as the droids are much less effective on their own.
Some of the newest, most expensive androids are approaching a facsimile of human intelligence, but the common foot soldier bots are nowhere near.
As with any new technology, combat robot usage and tactics aren’t tested. They are relatively expensive to produce and do not mix well with rain, mud or water. They also require regular refueling or recharging. Thus, they are kept primarily to urban warfare as shock troops. Where, on their own, they tend to struggle with differentiation between combatants and civilians.

Myxocarnis

Myxocarnis TLDR; An interdimensional, parasitic, hive-structured alien species dubbed “Myxocarnis” (colloquially “Myxos” or “Myxo”) invaded from a different dimension. They immediately began killing and collecting humans. Myxocarnis are tar-black, semi-solid, slime-like creatures. All Myxocarnis share features such as asymmetrical, sporadic tentacles and eyes. Their body frame resembles the creature they absorbed during “reproduction.” To reproduce, a young Myxocarnis absorbs a host creature. Which then takes on the Myxocarnis’ dark, oozing form.More soon. (I love these things.)
