Cascading Earth

The world of Cascading Justice is not quite a full on dystopia... yet, but it's definitely a world heading towards chaos. A fragile international political climate currently exists in the Cascading Justice campaign setting as nations posture to hold on to their territories and natural resources from others that would steal them away. Total isolationism is almost impossible to achieve when global warfare, revolution, terrorism, and natural disasters affect the daily lives of many on the planet to one degree or another. Much like in our own world, the United States is a prosperous nation. Its citizens are privileged and shielded from the daily hardships that others in the world live with. Life goes on in the Cascading Justice America, but even that life has just a little harsher edge to it.

The information here will briefly examine the global state of affairs in the world of Cascading Justice as it is found at the beginnging of the campaign in Spring 2022, including world politics and major current events. In the United States, AEGIS is the organization responsible for monitoring world events as they relate to national security. It is assumed that the player characters would generally have an awareness of this information or be able to look it up if they needed to.
