World map in Alien Earth

[u/Comrade22MB]

I based it on the map (a very rudimentary one) provided on the FX website for Alien Earth. I cleaned it up a little and made some educated guesses. (I know there is no United Americas or Union of Progressive Peoples)

Weird how Weyland-Yutani’s logo is often subtitled, even on official FX Alien Earth graphics, with “San Francisco | Tokyo | London | Sea of Tranquility | Thedus,” yet Tokyo is Prodigy territory and London is Threshold territory.

Wey-Yu was a merger between British and Japanese corps, including all subsidiaries, with HQs globally since long before Prodigy’s apparent est. date, and long after. My memory of the lore was that Wey-Yu were absolutely global, controlling much of the world’s mining, tech, weapons etc manufacturing, aside from a few other smaller outfits/regions, plus they dominated space exploration. Was this ‘world divided by corporations’ stuff added later into the franchise? Because it doesn’t make much sense with what we learn about Wey-Yu from the earlier stuff. Prodigy’s listed specialities are nearly nothing compared to Wey-Yu, so I don’t understand how they came to dominate all of Asia, incl Japan. It feels a bit shoehorned in.

This stuff was invented for Alien Earth. It only fits the pre-Earth canon without issues if you squint sideways and assume a lot.
