Such is the ARC's clout that it'd not only expanded its portfolio or dominated Old Wall Street, but has also become the premier corporation in America, a fact that worries some activists and government officials. Of these, the most powerful and influential is the American Reclamation Corporation, whose fortunes truly took off with the Trans- Mississippi Recovery Initiative. In order to maximize what resources were available at the time, the Federal Government resorted to outsourcing mandates if not entire regions to private companies with various degrees of success. And while the Americans remain a prominent player in the global stage, their endurance came with a literal price. In North America, the United States managed to weather the chaos of the Great Mistake more or less intact. Still, one would be foolish to think that the modern world would be directly comparable to the past, especially given the future looming over us all. Eventually, society began to match and to a degree even surpass what the pre-Mistake age accomplished. Civilization got back up on its feet as order and stability returned. But though it set back humanity at large dearly, life went on. Much had been lost or swept in the chaos to the point that even the circumstances of those times and those immediately before it remain muddled.

The actual game involves said colony ships making landfall generations later, and how they develop and survive is up to the player. Thus begins the Seeding: an international project where various countries and political blocs (even one powerful US corporation) send their own colony ships ala Interstellar off-world in order to guarantee humanity's future. The premise is that a few centuries in the future, long after a Great Mistake messed up the world, the Earth itself is starting to run down.

A map based on the PC game Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth ( /pmwiki/pmwiki.php… ), which is both part of the long-running Civilization series and a spiritual successor to the classic spin-off Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri ( /pmwiki/pmwiki.php… ). It took a bit of time but here's one more map-profile to end the year on.
