=Political fate of the world in The Division=

The Apocalypse has had distastrous effects on the political structure of the world. Many countries collapsed, were conquered by countries led by far-right, cauvinist leaders, or voluntarily fused with other nations to better prepare themselves for the Apocalypse.

Europe
Switzerland in Europe, despite its high prosperity and complete independence of virtually everything, was the first countrty on the Earth to collapse. This was because the dimensional experiment that caused the Apocalypse was not only conducted by the Swiss (under supervision of Jozef Hiebenkerm), but was also directly funded by its government; their success in experiments with particle accerlators caused the Swiss to fail to see the risks of an experiment on a level far beyond molecular manipulation. Switzerland was held directly responsible and liable for the Apocalypse, causing them to fall in debt with dozens of other countries and enter a financial crisis. Under international pressure, Switzerland collapsed on November 22, 2023 and became a state of Austria.

On July 27, 2025, the prime minister of Spain, Pablo Peccuchez, unexpectedly stepped down after he found himself unable to properly deal with the spreading Apocalypse. This caused chaos in the senate, with many ministers refusing to take his place, out of fear that they too, would make nonstop mistakes. This allowed the far-right, cauvinist politician Juan Bimestro to rise to power.

In Bimestro's own words, "Latin America isn't enough.". Portugal became aware of Bimestro's plan to, using the global chaos in his advantage, invade and conquer Europe to further spread the influence of Spain. Fearing that they would be first to be attacked due to them sharing the Iberian Peninsula with Spain, Portugal sent an encrypted message to Italy asking them for help to defeat Bimestro.
