Trask was settled in the early years of The Rule of Man. It was UK based w American help also participating were the Saudis and India. A terrible war broke out with Tractored Asteroid strike plunging the world into the middle ages. There are dino's and the ever elusive Egai(GURPS Alien 1). A native race of Lizard humanoids live in the central jungles of the central Main Continent(stone age).
Trask today is dominated by the Nations of New Trask(cold war tech, UK) and Zingara( American) (WW1 tech , like the rest of the planet)

The New Trask Archipelago
By far, New Trask is dominant in military ,Industry and Space tech.Over all they approximate in Tech to 1965 America. They have clung to Their UK Identity and have comfortable standard of living, being the 3rd most populated nation.The main thing holding them back from advancing in tech are the constant warfare with Zinggara and their non stop interfering in all the nations of Trask. They haze a huge spy network supported by the military, who dominate politics. They have a small fleet of mixed space born tech 10 system boats from trade with the Sword worlds although they are close to Imperium(who hope they will come to rule all of New Trask.)

Zinggara was settled by Americans and when they emerged from the dark age rebuilt tech quicker than the rest of the world. For a short time they dominated the world. A desasterous war w New TRask set them back to WW1 tech, from which they never recovered.
Today They have the highest population, equal to the rest of Trask through forced breeding the population with a required 4 pregnancy in the first 7 years of a couple.They have a huge military consisting of 90% infantry , with another 7% Horse cavalry. Constant war with New Trask has retarded their development just as New Trask has.They are ruled by a military Oligacy with sham elections.

Madripoor(name and concept from Wolvirene comic books,Marvel comics)
Madripoor is located in a large island south of the main continent. They understand only one thing:money. They have a huge merchant fleet and a small but powerful navy second to only New Trask(shipd provided by New Trask. It is one city divided into a high and low city with luxury and horrible poverty, Low city is slave labor for the dirty factories of the island. To enter the High City you must prove that you have 100 Credits, Imprioum, half of which is taken in a tax.The High City has a large casino industry, being one of the very few tourist spots on the planet.Trade and money are every thing.

The Hindu Confederacy
95% of the population of Indians can be found here. It is a tight bunch of independent city states with a joint military. They provide protection to the Arabian States, which pays them handsomely. It provides 50% of the budget to The Confederacy. One state is controlled by the Engai(more on them later). Recently they have clashed w New Trasks Navy, and a stalemate is in effect
The Confederacy is dominated by its joint military, the only thing the Sate need to support. Other than that the states have control of their destiny..

The Royal Hunting Preserve
It is located in the middle of 4 small nations in the Dagger sub-continent(coming soon). Trask Royalty wanted a wild area so it carved one out of the biggest sections left out side of The Primal forest. It is closely guarded By heavily armed Task marines who have retired from the military, The dinos are hunted by the elite of Trask and the wildlife is cultivated and hunted humanly. Any one may enter but are not allowed to bring weapons.A lot of thrill seekers backpackers in the area and are often in need of rescue. The other threat is polyamorous cult seeks dino parts from rituals.

The Balkans(Dagger)
About 20 countries are on this Idea sized penisula. Any attempt to describe them is bound to fail as they are constantly changing governments, cults and philosophes. The most notable country is Dagger(whose name is getting on the area) which has a Nazi like leader called The Doctor. He might be able to unify the area. Merc and adventurers start here to gain a name and then progress to the richer country's.

The Secret Alien Master( based on GURPS Alien Book)
The Engai are the 2nd oldest space faring to master jump Tech. They are small(4'10") and are heavily modified biologically, tatoos,extra limbs etc. There tech is way above the galaxy norm. Their enclave on Trask started as a marine sanctuary for endangered aquatic life. It has grown to the only city outside their homeworld. The Engai here are extra decatant and run an island that is used fro cruael game shows. The only contact out side the enclave is w one of the Indian sats(above). They use storms to make themselve and their area unknown to any one else. Unknown to them is the fact that their mortal enemies have an observation post on one of the moons , that they are unaware of.

Most of all they hate the Engai. they have an observation post on a moon. They are very slowly moving supplies here to attack. The Engai are going to use help and by far are the lesser evil. Do I hear epic end to Ta trask compain? I sure do!

The Engaii Game Show
The game show is run by a very small group of Engai, about 20 of them. They are the malcontents of the main group. As there is less than a thousand main Engai it is a very small number. The main group tolerates them as they like the idea of having a secondary place to hide if needed, and it is too much work.
The game show is on an island filled with a lush forest. It is full of small disks that carry the video and audio so the Engai can watch. the game is survival for the unlucky players. Tha islad is full of fast zombies of several different kinds. The smart one are armed with german WW2 Earth weapons and all of them dressed in Waffen SS uniforms. Thats right, Nazi Zombies. If the players survive, they are met by a specal cruiser of the allies(with Engai) of the allied Indian state. The cruiser has a small bit of high tech devices and weopans tnd this allowes them to pierce the distorssion field and force field. The "winners are given a modest amount of cash.
The players are gathered from across the Spinward Marches. The main group of players will consist off one race and one or two of another. The Main group will be Solamoni, Villani, Aslan or (the darn centaur race). The one or two others can be any race found in the area. about a third of them will be armed with hand weapons that they were found with. More weapons are provided as "prizes".
This is why the Markan figuring out that the Engai out that the Engai have a base here.
If you run this, don't be surprised that a few of the gamers will figure out they are in a game show and mug for the camera.

The Markan Observation Post
When the Markan found the game show, they became very curios about it's purpose. Being the most paranoid of races, they thought that it was a military base(it is not) and slowly and carefully began watching. And waiting for a time to pounce.They are also paranoid about the idea that it might be host to large anti ship weapons. It doesn't) so . They think they are there and they just can't find them.
The base consists of a tech squad of soldiers(The race is 100% military) who run it. It has a few super tech plasma ant-ti ship arms. The base itself is spartan with the best radar telescopes and sensors they have.Usually a small Postal ship on patrol. As it is super tech, it has been converted to a tertiary warship.
The Sgt, in command is getting bored, so he is raiding Trask for people to bring back and torture for fun. This will be the thing that signals to the Engai that the post is here
