Overseas things are not much better, and in many places a good deal worse.

Japan was the major country that held out the longest against the Kurians, and according to rumor and the occasional shortwave message, some of the northern islands are still fighting it out.

China, Southeast Asia, and the Subcontinent are under oppression that makes the worst atrocities of the Imperial Japanese and the Nazis seem half-hearted.

A sort of super-freehold exists in Northern Russia and the Baltics.

Europe is in the Kurian's tight grip, except for a somewhat reduced Switzerland which is once again defying the odds and remaining determined and heavily armed neutrals.

The Grogs have both South America and South Africa, with the Kurians controlling the center of both those countries. Because the Kurians dislike oceans, and Quisling ships have a tendency to never be seen again outside of land, many small islands and floating armadas of ships maintain a kind of open-seas freedom: aquatic, ever shifting freeholds. But they aren't much help in the struggle to liberate the planet. "Floaters, not fighters," the hard pressed Freeholders mutter at visits from the seamen.
