[Phantasm]

The major civilizations at this time appear to be:

The Wulfenbach Empire, centered in Eastern Europe;

The Confederacy of the Fifty Families, in Western Europe, which is basically the Holy Roman Empire by another name;

The British Empire, which may include India; and

The Great Cetaceans.

It appears that there is a Caliphate or something akin to the Ottoman Empire in the Near East, and Russia seems to be under the control of the Polar Lords. We have insufficient information on how the spark has affected Indochina, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, or Australia. The two Indian women we've seen (Bang and Seffie(?)'s bodyguard) seem to share an appreciation for fighting, but it's hard to say from a sample of two how India really is.

And there may be someone living in the canals on Mars?
