[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 5147101, member: 26698"] Well, a few personal ideas (take 'em or leave 'em-it's just my two cents): +Scotland becoming a somewhat modernized Claymore-land (as in the Norihiro Yagi manga-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_(manga) ), with the countryside outside of the cities being full of roaming Yoma and the Organization having a pretty large seat of secret power inside the land. Scotland is cut off from the rest of the world by some pretty hefty minefields, heavy-caliber automatic security sentries, stationed military with orders to shoot anything that moves, security screening that includes DNA testing, and a rebuilt Hadrian's Wall (as in the Neil Marshall movie 'Doomsday' [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_(movie[/url])). A friend of mine wanted to add the Culture, but I have no idea how (maybe one or two of the cities have been rebuilt with Culture technology, but CLULESS meddling -and general world-wide paranoia and hostility- has stopped our beloved Space Hippies from taking over the country, let alone the world). +Bleach... people had accepted the fact that there is a 'higher' level, which is the plane Bleachverse characters live in. Soul Society has sort of expanded/fusioned with Asgard (think I wrote about it in the first page), and the formerly-Medieval Japan-esque town outside of Soul Reaper HQ has evolved into a more modern city, which in its stead has also somewhat challenged the Reapers' position as the 'leadership'. It also does not helps that more and more Reapers are starting to appear with (or adopt) firearms and modern technology and military tactics (including mechanized infantry, snipers, demolitions and weaponized medics) to replace the Zampakutou, Hot-Blooded-Samurai-with-mangled-Spanish-terms, and feudalism of the old Reapers-which has created a schizm in the ranks. +France, Boulogne-Billancourt had become an odd 'plane nexus' with the Internet itself (as in, you can shift planes there and enter the Internet instead of having to 'jack in' or use Virtual/Augmented Reality gizmos or be blasted with a digitizing system (this latter patented to ENCOM)). That being, there are NetNavis, Digimon and other things coming in and out of town at all times-and viruses, hackers, and things like XANA, the MCP, Durandal and other evil A.I.s try to take it over constantly. LeHavre's become a Steampunk mecca, owning to such guys as Jean Rocque Raltique, Agatha Heterodyne and James Ray Steam. +Russia.... What I can think of is to expand on the Britannian grip of the area (for some weird reason the nexus to the Britannian universe is located in Siberia), Chernobyl and a good deal of the area hit by the fallout is now a rad-mutant-infested and general-weirdness-infested blight out of the Fallout series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ( [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:_Shadow_of_Chernobyl]S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] ) and Metro 2033 ( [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_2033]Metro 2033 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] ). And Tunguska... it would be easier to ask what is NOT weird in there...that is, if you can survive going there. And on the crime side, Hotel Moscow is getting more powerful (even if Balalaika's outright brutal disregard of the Vory V Zakone ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vory_V_Zakone]Thief in law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] ) code is getting her marked for destruction by the other Mafiya), and on the magic side, it's like 'Night Watch' ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(Russian_novel[/url])), more 'hush-hush' magic and people who enforce its usage... quite severely. Yeah, and lots of (former) Reds with Rockets and communist-funded declassified super-tech abounds. +Venice... it's a lot of steampunk, alien tech, pulp and modern tech combined insanely. Think a combination of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Assassin's Creed, Sakura Wars, Girl Genius, The Shadow, some Dune, some WH40K, some Mutant Chronicles and hit 'puree'.
