A non-canon PMT Tiandi setting in the near future of Tiandi, in 2070.

World War II
A limited nuclear exchange between Namju and the Sinju Union, followed by mass conventional warfare worldwide between the Namju and Sinju global spheres of influence. Hanju broke up into three successor states, the remnants of the Revolutionary Republic of Hanju, the United States of Hanju and the Hanju Empire.

World War III
Also known as the Nochtlico War, World War III was a conventional conflict brought about by the collapse of social order some years following World War II. Nochtlico attempted to pick up the reins of the global communist movement and help their Hanjuan ally to reclaim the entirety of Hanju from the successor states. However, this resulted in a war with Akitsukuni due to the alliance between the United States of Hanju and Akitsukuni. This only resulted in Akitsukuni invading and taking over Nochtlico, thus consoldiating their rule over the entire Uju Continent.

Buyeo also got involved, seizing the entirety of Cheongju from the neighbouring communist states by the war's end.

Population
A mid-century population boom occurred, resulting in a global population significantly higher than that of the start of the 21st century.

Transhumanism
Cybernetics are very advanced now and things like limb replacement and full-body cyborgs exist and are trying to find a place in society. As people get more and more interconnected - brain cyberization is widely popular and increasingly available since the 2040s -

Food
Due to the devastation of WW2 and subsequent societal collapse in 3rd world countries, global food supplies have shrunk. Global warming has also adversely affected the world. Large-scale algae farming is used to cheaply feed the growing population and supply poorer countries. However, this has not replaced traditional food but is more of a cheap alternative (like a new type of staple).

Anti-Radiation Technology
A large amount of anti-radiation technology has been developed in the post-WW2 world. Pioneered by Buyeo, Radiation Scrubbers are nanomachines that serve to remove lethal radiation from an area within a short amount of time to enable an area to become habitable to humans once again, typically one to three weeks. Also created by Buyeoan scientists, nanomachine-based medical treatments for radiation poisoning are widely used around the world, after widespread copying and patent infringement occurred beyond Buyeo's control. This also served to sour Buyeo's relations with many other world superpowers.

Legged vehicles
The legged vehicle, capable of crossing any terrain and any obstacle, has at last been perfected. Pioneered by Akitsukunese industry, Mitsuhishi created the first civilian utility walkers in the 2030s, and under Kenbishi Heavy Industries the very first walker-tanks entered the battlefield in WW2 and have never left since. The concept and technology has spread around the world to bring us all manner of legged machines, from the ubiquitous Mitsuhishi industrial/combat utility walkers to the giant war robots of Buyeo. Fusions of legged machines such as the Akitsukunese Tactical Surface Fighter, developed primarily to combat other large-sized combat walkers, have also been introduced to the battlefield.

Infantry systems
Vast leaps in the development of materials engineering, portable power sources and miniaturisation of computer electronics has resulted in a wide proliferation of combat computing systems, combat exoskeletons, powered armour and more, giving the modern soldier a vast battlefield versatility unmatched by his predecessors.

The modern infantryman is connected to his superiors and buddies through robust information and communications networks that ensure he is never alone or uninformed on the battlefield. His load is lightened by the support of a powered exoskeleton that allows him to carry more equipment, march farther and jump higher. He is protected by body armour made of advanced polymer composites and ceramics, and his uniform is flame-proof and comfortable in all weather. His weapon is the best that his nation can provide at a low cost, mass-produced through 3D fabrication, computer-controlled to ensure there are almost zero defects. He is the modern infantryman.

In addition to the basic infantryman, nations have begun rolling out new powered armour equipment for their infantry troops, giving them the protection and firepower of light vehicles with the mobility of an infantry soldier. Ranging from the pioneering, robust T-51b powered armour suit from Buyeo to the bleeding-edge Type-303 Arm Suit used by the Imperial Akitsukunese Marines, modern infantry can now be supported by these veritable juggernauts even in places where no vehicle can go.

Orbital weapons
Many nations operate orbital weapons as alternatives to nuclear missiles following the near-devastation of WW2. These range from Buyeo's spaceborne missile platforms to Akitsukuni's 21 cutting-edge Horaisan satellites equipped with tungsten rod kinetic strike packages and nuclear-tipped guided reentry vehicles, hidden from view by matte-black stealth ablative plating as well as some form of smart ECM.

Manportable missile systems
Advances in materials engineering, synthetic fuels and plastic explosives have allowed infantry missile systems to become even more dangerous than before. These range from Chutsi-designed shoulder-fired cruise missiles to the Akitsukunese Type-16, three-man-crew missile system that can hit a target in low Earth orbit.

The existence of portable anti-space weapons has essentially resulted in strategic parity and a reluctance to use orbital weaponry in open conflict.

Buyeo
Buyeo became a major world power due to their ownership of nuclear-scrubbing nanotechnology. They have become a new technological powerhouse, creating weapons such as infantry powered armour and giant combat robots. The Buyeo Commonwealth now covered all of Cheongju, having defeated the communist states during World War III. However, it soon came into opposition with the Greater Akitsukunese Empire in the north due to competition over oil fields in the seas between Uju and Cheongju, escalating into the ongoing war between the superpowers.

Titans
South-Western Provinces Empire of Nochtlico Greater Ujuan Co-Prosperity Sphere

Open warfare is going on between Akitsukunese and Buyeoan troops. The power armour troops are almost unstoppable for the Akitsukunese infantry and they are utterly cut down, only being able to defeat the power armour troops with anti-tank launchers. The presence of a HAW-206 is the only thing holding the Imperial Line. Air support from Vertibirds keeps the Imperials from advancing. However, reinforcements soon arrive in the form of Type-303 Arm Suits deployed from an Oniyama, which also blasts the enemy lines. An Arm Suit is blown away by a Buyeoan twin-barrelled tank, which is then blown away by a Jigabachi. Regaining the initiative, the Imperial Troops move forward. However, a Liberty Prime shows up and shoots down two Jigabachis.

Liberty Prime starts shredding everything, destroying the HAW-206 and killing numerous Imperial troops.

Far above, a Type-92 Zhuravlik is escorted into battle by fighters, which break off as the Zhuravlik dives down. It then fights the Liberty Prime hand to hand. No contest, the super-carbon blades and bigger size allow the TSF to shred the robot.

Prime is 12.19 metres. Type-92 Zhuravlik is 19.2 metres.

Liberty Prime fights Akitsukunese infantry while powered armour troops engage infantry and Arm Suits. Liberty Prime blows up a spider tank. Suddenly, a TSF deploys and saves the day, supported by Jigabachis.
