End of the 4th Corporate War.

• End of the 4th Corp War. This includes a three-year wrap-up as pockets of fighting are quelled by Militech and national armies. While there is only one nuke dropped during the war, the world's infrastructure is severely impacted, although not destroyed.
• NET is officially down. Alt Cunningham establishes the Ghost World in the ruins of a bio-destroyed city.
• Japanese government almost breaks down. By repudiating Arasaka, national face is saved. Arasaka is reduced to a Japan-only Corporation for the next decade. The European Union is mostly restored.
