I woke up 10 minutes ago from a dream.
The main character chooses farmer as starting background. The starting backgrounds also include QfG thief and QfG magic user.
So he's a farmer, farming one day.
Some sort of accident happens, he's looking at a moat at the side of an asphalted highway.
He ends up finding a bicycle speedometer on the ground.
Next thing he knows, he wakes up in a prison cell, interrogated by a Japanese woman, she is a superspy.
The Japanese empire is at war with the Russian empire. The world map is shown: the Japanese empire only controls the Chukchi peninsula, none of Japan proper, it is post-apoc after all.
The world map is IRL world map and countries in general are IRL countries, but their borders are scattered and weird, Venezuela (colored blue) has a bit of today's Venezuela plus a small bit of territory around the Baltic Sea.
The Japanese woman shows to the PC the speedometer and asks: what is this dangerous machine? Do you recognize it? Why do you have it?
The PC answers, terrified as if talking to some mentally ill person or caveman: It is a bicycle speedometer, I swear it does nothing dangerous (even though it doesn't belong to him in the first place, he just found it).
If it's AoD, why do people know about Japan and Russia etc (the PC is not in either of those himself) - because this is a better educated area that survived the apocalypse a bit better than the area shown in AoD proper did, and the people here haven't forgotten what the world map looks like or what the countries are.
This is the final patch of AoD. Jarlfrank writes a review of it (not a front page review, but a brief one forum post review).
