The Geography of Aryaverse

By 2052, the world had already left behind its old cities—monuments to a past civilization that could no longer sustain itself. The COVID-29 pandemic of 2029 had triggered a mass urban collapse, with economies crumbling and populations abandoning traditional megacities in favor of AI-planned enclaves.

The race for Noosphere/AGI between 2030-2040 accelerated this shift, as governments and corporations moved their resources into self-sustaining, climate-controlled AI cities while leaving aging urban centers to rot. Climate change had already rendered coastal hubs uninhabitable, as flooding, extreme heat, and resource depletion turned once-thriving capitals into ghost towns. By the time the Moon Fracture Event of 2042 shattered the night sky, sending debris raining down on Earth and altering the planet’s tides, the fate of these dying cities was sealed.

The first to fall were the coastal metropolises—Mumbai, Bangkok, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Miami, and New York etc—as erratic tides and unpredictable storm surges swallowed their infrastructure. In some cases, the sea simply reclaimed its territory, leaving only the skeletal remains of drowned skyscrapers, their lower floors submerged in dark water. Elsewhere, the skies became a death trap; for weeks after 2042, lunar debris burned through the atmosphere, reducing satellites and high-rise districts to smoldering wreckage. The final blow came as governments ceased rebuilding efforts—not out of negligence, but because they had already moved on. Resources were redirected to Neom, Osaka-9, and Elysium One—AI-driven cities engineered to withstand the chaos, leaving the old world behind as a wasteland of abandoned streets and crumbling monoliths

Similarly, the Indian subcontinent had been reshaped beyond recognition. By 2052, the old cities of India had already begun their descent into oblivion. Mumbai, once the financial heart of the nation, had become a drowned labyrinth of half-submerged skyscrapers, its streets now part of the Arabian Sea. What remained of the city was nothing more than a rusted skyline jutting from the water, haunted by scavengers who floated between sunken districts, salvaging forgotten technology from a world that no longer existed.

Chennai had been battered beyond recognition, its coastlines erased by an endless barrage of hyper-storms that turned the region into an uninhabitable wasteland. The Bay of Bengal had swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving behind nothing but shattered concrete and twisted metal, while the few who dared to remain clung to ruins battered by perpetual cyclones. Kolkata, meanwhile, had fractured into a broken archipelago of sinking islands, where the swollen Hooghly River had carved through the city’s foundations

Further inland, the collapse took a different form. Delhi had been reduced to a ruin of blackened stone and lifeless dust, its summers reaching 60°C (140°F) and its winters plummeting below freezing as the city swung between extremes. The once-mighty Yamuna had dried into a barren canyon of cracked riverbeds and rusted bridges, leaving parliament buildings, monuments, and marketplaces abandoned beneath layers of ash and sand. Jaipur and Hyderabad fared no better, transformed into furnaces of heat and shifting dunes, where sandstorms howled through the streets, stripping paint from buildings and burying entire districts beneath mountains of dust.

The nights offered no relief—without cloud cover, the deserts turned to icy wastelands, where sudden temperature drops left survivors frozen where they stood. Bangalore, the former Silicon Valley of India, had collapsed under the weight of its own technological graveyard. To the east, Varanasi burned. The city of gods had become a city of fire, where the funeral pyres never stopped, and the air reeked of endless cremation.

Aryaverse had become a land of extremes, its seasons no longer following any pattern that once made sense. The monsoons, once predictable, had turned erratic and violent, with some years bringing six months of relentless downpour, drowning entire regions under an unceasing assault of rain, while other years delivered nothing but silence—a dead sky stretching over cracked earth and withered crops.

From Administrative Point of view, Aryaverse is had been reorganized into five primary Sectors, each serving a distinct function, ensuring that resources, knowledge, and control remained perfectly distributed under the Arya One system. Each Sector was divided into three primary administrative zones:

Sector Capitals – The nerve centers, where Vigyanis and Mukhyapatis administered AryaVerse's operations.
Blocks – The massive Yantri Dasya slums, where the majority of the population lived, operating as labor hubs.
Aryashrams – The sealed citadels of the Arya, where the post-human elite lived in complete isolation, ensuring their intellectual and genetic purity remained untouched.
