In short, I managed to analyze the map and am ready to share my thoughts.
Let's start with the fact that Europe began to disintegrate, and therefore its inhabitants began to look for a way to physically unite it, and as a result, they brought the protruding parts closer to themselves, such as Spain, Italy, Britain, etc. Except that they couldn't hold onto Portugal, because there's Ronaldo, and try holding him back. So it broke away and set off on an open voyage. Ireland also managed to defend its independence (but not Northern Ireland). While Europe was dealing with its problem, it didn't notice the threat from the south, which eventually turned into it changing its color to brown. Not everyone liked this in the east, so some decided to separate, such as the Poles, the Roma, and three small countries that united into one and, due to their internal anger, turned black (or maybe they just ran out of electricity and died out). At this time, a certain force from Greenland extended its icy tentacles north and towards Europe, trying to drain its life energy through the territory of Norway and Finland. If everything went successfully in the first case, then there was not enough energy in the second country, and therefore it quickly depleted and dried up, turning into a dreary gray wasteland. Meanwhile, something terrible happened in Russia, and everything was lost, except for the north, which became an ice road, the western-southern part, where a new entity appeared from three "brotherly" sister peoples, and Yekaterinburg, where Siv lives, who prevents the city from disappearing. But the eastern part of the country changed the most, and it is unclear what happened there (possibly a war between fishing groups), but it now consists of several pieces. In the south, almost all countries went under water, in particular India and many others; only a piece of Kazakhstan survived (some say that this is due to a guy from the Moscow region who recently appeared there. Locals believe that he is the chosen one, sent to them from above, that is, from Russia). Mongolia was even luckier, managing to cling to China, which not only did not lose but also acquired new territories, taking control (albeit not direct) of the lands of the Koreans, uniting the two countries into one and creating something like a boot out of them, with which it sent Japan on a long voyage (some say that this is not a boot and the Japanese sailed away on their own). Many Arabs also went under water; only the Turks remained, who managed to separate from Europe and were forcibly pressed against Iran, thereby destroying everyone who lived between them, and Kuwait somehow stuck to them. The Canadians also drowned, except that the French provinces managed to stay afloat. Because of this, Alaska also separated from the mainland, starting to move towards its true homeland. There is a theory that the flooding was again caused by Greenland. America also lost part of its territory, and not only because of the water, but also because of shrinking (possibly due to ice attacks from the north), which Cuba was very happy about, because now it could breathe more freely. Meanwhile, South America wanted to give its lands the shape of a soccer ball, but something went wrong, and the plan failed. Only the Brazilian state of Paraíba managed to break away in time and leave its native lands. It is said that the governor of the state made this decision immediately after hearing about the idea of his neighbors on the continent and, with the words "Paraíba oстюда," ordered the separation of his land from the territory of Brazil. While the whole world was facing problems, the inhabitants of African countries decided to change their lives and gave their continent the shape of a car, but they didn't have enough money for wheels, so they decided to make the car fly (with the change, they created a couple of mini-islands to transport refugees to Europe). Australia learned about this and wanted to join, at least as a wheel. The Africans explained that they have a flying car and don't need one wheel, but the petitioners did not give up. As a result, the Black Continent succumbed to the pressure of requests and allowed the Australians to become a wheel that was superfluous, like a fifth wheel on a regular car. However, the latter are not used to playing such a role, so they were very happy with this opportunity.
And it is at this moment that the players begin their expedition, starting in Antarctica and trying to find a way to get out of there.
