Rather than "neomedieval" I'm still with Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia (although it looks like russia is more likely to fall into the Eastasian orbit than be masters of Eurasia). Brexit has restored the rightful position of Airstrip One in Oceania, and even the "disputed territories" are more or less in mid twentieth-century geographical position. What does seem neomedieval is the resemblance of intra-Oceanian politics to Guelphs and Ghibellines, but we could equally well say Byzantine... (It may help to realise that the geopolitics of 1984 was informed both by Orwell's own You and the Atom Bomb [but how do drones affect this conclusion?] and a book by a 1920s? author whose name I've currently forgotten) https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/you-and-the-atom-bomb/ https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...
