Description
Map of the United Systems of the Universe and the surrounding Empires.

Credits for Icons go to many people, i have used many pieces of artwork and forgot to write down sources. If your work is represented and you want it removed, let me know.

USU Space (Hexagons with bright lining):

Center (Red): Earth and Humanities first sphere of expansion (Mainly funded by national and international space organisations ~2100s)

Inner Rim (Blue): The second sphere of expansion (mainly fueled by privatized endeavours ~2200s-2400s)

Northern Sektor (White)

North-East Sektor / Polaris Sektor (Pink)

East Sektor (Bright Yellow)

South-East Sektor (Green)

South Sektor / Solana Sektor (Purple)

South-West Sektor (Brown)

West Sektor (Turqoise)

Autonomous American Sektor (Founding-Father oriented Republic)

North-West Sektor (Dark Yellow)

Non USU Space (Hexagons with flat lining)

Avatar Space:

Humans who, due to radiation, have developed bending abilities within a few generations.
Families who leave the systems loose their abilities within 3-4 generations, immigrants can gain low bending powers after decades of residency.
The respective planets have formed empires according to their bending abilities and in correlation to study of historic Nickelodeon cartoons.

Neo Christians:

Be like christians, but more agressive and with spaceships.
Are especially obnoxious if their cross is thick instead of thin, because those will come to your space station to ask "if you have a moment to talk about jesus christ"

Monkey Head Cult:

Pray to the Monkey Head, obviously.
Also ragged clothing, weird vehicles and life decisions.

Athenian Democratic Republic:

Basically the European Union, in Space. With all the bureaucracy, but at least there is Healthcare.

Neobritannic Empire:

Because the Crown had some coin to spare and funded a space mission in the late 2500s.
A bunch of Royal-Fangirls and -boys jumped on board and her Majesties space empire was born.
Mostly exports tea and teenager books by women who hate sexual minorities.

Lillith Union:

A Union of small Kingdoms who followed suit when the brits started. Among them are: some french dukes, the Royals of Monacco, a couple german counts who may or may not have bought their title around the early 2000s and a small group of different folks who chipped in. Despite officially being monarchies, they do have some sort of citizens participation in politics one way or another.

Camel Trade Union:

A small trading union that mines, processes and sells an important ingredient in a popular space drug.

Red Lizzard Federation:

Another small trading union that sells drug and weapon related items.

Kingdom of three rings:

A Union of three Empires that united under one ruling body.
Is not actually led by a King, but is considered a constitutional monarchy. (A King was crowned when the area broke off the south-western sektor, but he did not hold much power.)

Scandinavian Colonies:

When the scandinavians reached for the stars...

Hanseatic Trade Federation:

In lieu of new horizons for traditional north-german investors, they founded the Hanseatic Trade Federation.
After a couple centuries of growth, these colonies declared independance over the prices of import and labour.
Eventually, neoliberalism took hold and the Trade Federation split in two, the Red, who uphold little human standards when it comes to working class people,
and the blue, who do not.

Autonomous Farming Communes:

Are usually just lowly developed, one or two planet systems with no real interest in galactic alliances or politics. They are usually self sufficient and sell their overproductions off to the surrounding systems.

Neofeudal Japanes Empire:

A couple japanese people remembered the old times fondly and wanted to recreate them.
Now their cities are guarded by samurai with laser swords.

Kuroda Space:

A Japanese Company financed a couple colonies up in the galactic north, as things go, the local governour / CEO declared independance and ran a happy capitalist market ever after.

Empire of the rising Sun:

Its the empire of the rising sun, they like the sun, they like torches, what are you going to do?
-10 agression thanks to good drinks and friendly people

Neoconfederates:

Because whats the universe going to do without skinheads?
Space Nazis with a thing for Meth and racial seggregation.

Eco Initiative:

How about 0 environmental footprint from the moment humanity sets foot on a planet?
Humans should reproduce according to a global plan thats comparable to buying a car in soviet russia in 1966.

Neoindustrialists:

Because what is more important than making profits? Building big factories. And only building big factories.

Canadian Colonies:

Because canada wanted to play too.

Anarchist Systems:

Are anarchist.

Communist Systems:

Generally a mix between oldschool Soviet Communism (if it works wrong) and fully automated luxury gay space communism (if it works right)

Socialist Systems:

Gernerally many different types from social-democratic to state socialism to other things.

Islamic Space Califate:

For those who really need another 800 years to figure out that women can drive by them selves.

Free People of Pepe:

One day, the people of a certain website collected enough money to buy their own space mission.

The Reeeee:

Some people only realized after their arrival that their waifus wouldnt be 3D in the new world as well.

Zen Collective:

Do the Ommm
Make the seat
Do the Ommm

About 25% of the colonist were genuine tibetian monks, the rest was Karens and Yogimoms on a spiritual trip.
Vaccinations are a major struggle. Managers have a much higher burn out rate than otherwhere in the universe.

Warrior Aliens:

They fight wars, because thats what they do.
(See: Klingons)

Egalitarian Union:

A generally pretty chill part of space where people from the surrounding areas come together and coexist.

Combine (Half Life):

Just the bad guys from Half Life 2, nothing special.

Independant Scholar Systems (Hogwarts Logos):

They are systems which distance themselves from the Neochristians but still teach their kids in the arts of witchcraft and the likes.

Tree of Life:

Some strange alien union with a high race diversity. They seem to be unaffiliated with the Union of Galactic Races

Everseeing Eye:

Another strange Cult

Alien Commerce Space:

Aliens are specifically invited to conduct business with humanity in this zone.
While its not illegal to conduct business elsewhere, they are greeted by great service and tax cuts in this zone.

Medical Industrial Sektor:

Because humanity needs meds and the MIS needs realestate. One of the highest guarded places in the galaxy, while officially under USU controll, everybody knows they arent playing by the rules.

Heavy Industrial Aliens:

Aliens with much industry

Shipbuilding Aliens:

Aliens who will build a ship for everyone.

Medically Advanced Aliens:

Cloning? sure, why not!
Dead friends? *chuckles*

Union of Galactic Races:

A great union of many races found in the universe.
Are a bit slow and a bit corrupted, but who dosnt get there after tens of thousands of years?

Tentacly Goo People:

Because not all sentient life is carbon based!

Japanese Individualists:

Arent all Japanese, but they kinda started the movement.

Snowflakes:

Usually have a lot of money, so when a spoiled brat got offened one night, they went out and bought an expedition on daddies credit card.
Didnt even get called back, they just sorta went with it.

Isolationists:

Like the snowflakes, but self financed and very trigger happy if disturbed. (Read: Trigger happy, not triggered)

Antichristians:

Yeah i mean... Ave Satanas.
