FPE Superstates AU is a geopolitical alternate universe inspired by Fundamental Paper Education, reimagining the original school setting into a vast world of imperial monarchies, militant republics, ideological superstates, and industrial great powers collectively known as "The Utopias."

Set within a retro-industrial era inspired by the late Cold War, roughly reflecting the 1980s, the world is defined by ideological rivalry, military competition, rapid industrial development, and global political tension. Conventional warfare remains dominant, with infantry, armored vehicles, artillery, fighter aircraft, helicopters, naval fleets, and early electronic warfare shaping the balance of power.

The aesthetic blends monumental imperial architecture, brutalist government complexes, industrial cities, and military fortifications with European, Central Asian, and steppe influences. Ceremonial militarism, national parades, royal traditions, revolutionary symbolism, and throat singing culture represent the identity and heritage of each Superstate.

Characters from the original series are reimagined as monarchs, presidents, generals, diplomats, intelligence officers, scientists, industrial leaders, revolutionaries, or ordinary citizens living beneath the shadow of powerful nations competing for dominance over The Utopias.

The world is divided among rival Superstates, each built upon different ideologies:

• Gentle Superepublic (Claire) — Humane Idealism

• Soft Concord (Bubble) — Pacifist Socialism

• Revolutionary Commonwealth (Engel) — Protective Democratic Socialism

• Strip Federation (Lana) — Libertarianism

• The Quiet Hold (Abbie) — Allied Isolationism

• Rupture Zone (Zip) — Impulsive Syndicalism

• Papercrown Dominion (Oliver) — Centralized Authoritarianism

• Zone03 [Calculated] (Edward) — Amoral Technocratic Collectivism

• Cromans Aesthetic Artstate (Ms. Sasha) — Liberal Aesthetic Expressionism

• Resonans Harmohorde (Mr. Demi) — Harmony Populism

• Steppe of Inxtincia (Fen) — Communal Instinctualism

• The Great Church Imperium (Xister) — Liberal Institutional Theocracy

• Imperial Cult Sisterhood (Alice) — Totalitarian "Reallam"

• Petunian Red Velvet Republic (Petunia) — Oligarchy

• Mirrorstate Red Velvet Republic (Lizzy) — Opportunism

• State Militar (Father Militar) — Ultramilitarism

• Ordo Axis (Ms. Circle) — Discipline Totalitarianism

• Compine State (Mr. Compass) — Diplomatic Interference

• Admins Continuum (Mother of Grace) — Institute Socialism

• Archia Commons (Emily Histarity) — History Conclusionism

• Meritograde (Miss Maritobloom) — Strict Utility System

• Orthodom (Miss Thavespeech) — Newspeak Autocracy

The story focuses on ideological confrontation, proxy conflicts, military deterrence, political intrigue, espionage, unstable alliances, and the constant struggle to preserve national stability in an increasingly divided world. While diplomacy remains possible, several Superstates—particularly those led by Oliver, Zip, Edward, and Alice—embrace expansionism, militarism, and perpetual conflict as the path toward their vision of utopia.
