The Victoria 3 mod is currently a work in progress, although work is actively being made on its [[https://exordium.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page wiki]] and timeline. Its community can be found [[https://discord.gg/QAhD4mEXPp here, on Discord]].

From a broader, internationalist perspective, the world of Exordium has achieved a tri-polar order, one that is generally wealthier and more developed than that of OTL but simultaneously more politically radical and passionate in traditions and culture. The differences in the interwar period lead to the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Second World War]]’s Pacific Theater ending with the victory of the [[UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan Japanese Empire]] in 1947 despite the destruction of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany by 1946. The Cold War was fought between the three blocs of a corporatist Co-Prosperity Sphere, a liberal Entente, and a multi-tendency USSR which dueled in various proxy wars, from {{UsefulNotes/France}} to {{UsefulNotes/Syria}}, from [[UsefulNotes/SouthKorea Korea]] to {{UsefulNotes/Zaire}} and {{UsefulNotes/Guatemala}}. By 1993, reformists took power in all three superpowers, enabling the Cold War to end in detente- as without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes. Yet beneath this era of co-existence and prosperity has the motivations and aspirations of its rulers and elites been blurred with atrocities and masonic conspiracies. The world of 2020 is more modernized, inclusive, and equal than that of OTL, but it still longs to awaken, having never lost its potential to unravel and fall into disarray as it rises to the stars.

There does not exist one singular point of the world of Exordium that completely de-entwines its world from that of real life. One can potentially point to the failure of the coup d’etat of the Empire of Brazil, the election of UsefulNotes/WilliamJenningsBryan as President of the United States, or the death of [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Ioseb Jughashvili]] during a bank robbery in 1907 as potential indicators of core differences that has lead the world to its becoming. But to do so would only be a microscopic drill into the multilayered story told, a story where every country starts out in neither a revanchist fantasy nor a convergent replication of OTL. From a myriad of independent points of divergences, Exordium aims to be interesting and divergent in every nation and aspect of its alternate history. Said aspects do not include just geopolitics and economics but the history of the experimental sciences, of popular music, of cinematography, of spiritual religion, and of every other facet of human identity.
