World politics
The world has changed, and it has led to a new stack of world power. Some fifteen nations have achieved nuclear armament, while at least 20 have what has become regarded as the new weapon de jour, Prime.

Prime Rosters
Each country wears their Prime contingent like an emblem emblazoned on their collective chests, knowing that just mentioning the names of those who will defend them is a measure of defense in itself. Terms of service vary, but few have retired voluntarily from the service of any country and gone on to any kind of success afterwards.
The first hero on each roster is that country's team leader, sometimes referred to as the 'Mouthpiece'. They spend much of their time touring the world, as well taking extensive recruiting trips throughout their country. Not all heroes are recruited from inside the borders of the respective country, often allied countries will supply heroes or sometimes they will simply defect to their chosen country of allegiance.
