ATENTION: If you want, you can skip this and some following posts and start reading immidiatly from chapter 1. However, if you want to know more about world situation before a story, please read this.
This is my first story here but I hope you'll like it. This is just a prologue here now, presenting the situation of the world.
*based on a real civ3 game*
At a time, there were only three countries remaining in the world. In the world, which history was rich and full of wars and conflicts. Maybe those conflicts were the reason why the world scientifically was underdeveloped. It was about 2350 AD and people still didn't knew what the nuclear bomb is. In that world there were 2 major continents. One was in the form of Australia and the second one was of the horseshoe form and was bigger than the first one. The gulf in that horseshoe form continent was called Gulf of Taurage. The horseshoe continent was called Cordabe and the other one - Tronade. There was also a big island near Tronade (called Tronadia). And there were also many smaller islands all over the world -- several in the south of Cordabe (Southern Archipelago), one in the north between Cordabe and Tronade (Island of Palanga) and the last one in the open seas in the west of Cordabe (Island of Odessa). Distance between Cordabe and Tronade was quite small if travelling east from Cordabe and very big if travelling through the west.
All Tronade was occupied by Great Britain. So was Tronadia and southern archipelago. Queen's residence was in capital London, which was in the western part of Tranade. Other major cities included Warwick in northwestern part of continent and Hasting in the eastern part. Cities in islands weren't as large. Britain's government form was monarchy, ruled by Queen Elisabeth. Britain once had huge and glorious navy and that was the reason why it conquered all the small islands from small countries and barbarian tribes who occupied them before. Britain didn't had any other big nations on it's continent - Tronade - and that helped it to become the most powerful nation of the world, with having most of resources and ability to strike nearly anywhere with it's mighty navy. However navy was huge, but outdated. Based on old men-of-war, which once did a great job in conquering islands but now just weren't so good. However queen didn't wanted to change navy, since she was sure that Britain is biggest country in the world so would win any war with what it have.
The second nation was Lithuania. It controlled the northern part of Cordobe and the Southern part of it, which uncontrolled zone in teh middle, also Islands of Palanga and Odessa. Lithuanians descended from the northern Cordobe, they settled in the southern Cordobe later. Some cities in southern Cordobe are still called in Russian names, since this was the place where once glorious Russian Empire was based. Lithuanian capital was Klaipëda on the coast in the northern Cordobe. There were also cities of Kaunas (in the Northern Cape of Cordobe), Vilnius, Paneveþys (in the northern Cordobe to the east form Klaipëda) and Boston (Conquered from USA thousands of years ago; in the north of Gulf of Taurage) controlled by Lithuania in the Northern Cordobe. In the northern Cordobe infrastructure was very good with railroads and mines everywhere and with irigated lands. In souther Cordobe, where cities of Taurage (near the gulf), St. Petersburg, Moscow and other stood, infrastructure was still bad, because most of it was destroyed in the war against Russia 100 years ago, when Russia without reasons declared war on Lithuania and USA and was defeated. Since then, Souther Cordobe is controlled by both Lithuanian (western part) and American (eastern part) forces. Lithuania was technologically advanced, but it had small army and almost no navy (most of navy was sunken in war against Russia) and this made some spots, like Island of Odessa, almost undefendable in case of war. Lithuania was controlled by president's Aukstaitis fascistic regime.
The third and the smallest country was United States of America. It was smallest in size, but definitely not weak. It was culturally very strong in fact, also, it was the only democracy, which made it also strong economically. America was based in the middle part of Cordabe and had no islands. It's capital was Washington, where the White house with president Lincoln stood. USA was very well governed all over the time, s it remained almost untouched by wars. It helped Lithaunia in war against Russia, but taken only a small role in that war. But conquered much formerly Russian cities, which made it the third supernation. Since it was culturally strong when it put territorial claim on city of Siauliai formerly controlled by Lithuania, Siauliai joined the USA. It was a very tactical move since Siauliai had oil field near the city. It was the only available oil in all the Cordabe. So, by controlling it, USA not only got oil, but also Lithuania lost it. And because at a time it was a war against Russia, Lithuania had to buy oil from USA. Lithuania did never retaken Siauliai, because after war against Russia Lithuanian military was too weak to win against USA and it could not be expanded without oil. Later however oil deal between USA and Lithuania was abolished because oil costed too much for Lithuanian still weak economy. USA was small, but modern country.
All three superpowers had friendly relations between them since Russia was gone. However, all of them wanted more than they had. Both Lithuania and USA were annoyed by British massive yet old navy sailing around Cordobe and sometimes "incidentally" sailing into territorial waters. Britain wanted to conquer all the world because it already did conquered huge part of it. USA wanted more lands, since it was the smallest country. And Lithuania wanted oil, without which it couldn't rebuild military. However, all superpowers were friendly to each other and such situation already stood for more than 70 years. Until one day. And that day is the place, where this story offcially begins...

...nice intro/teaser...I assume you were lithuania, given your location, flag, and the fact that it's a custom named civ 
. Only major cities are in this map and capitols are underlined. Also, geographical objects like isles, gulfs, capes and straights are named. Lithuania is yello, USA is dark gray and Great Britain is green in this map.
