99% of people will have a small chip implanted in the back of their necks.
This chip will control their behaviour and how they see the world.
crime syndicates will rise to rule in the place of countries, fighting for control of territories and populaces.

But after a short amount of time it's own experiments with harnessing the power of peoples brains as one planetwide networked uber-computer will lead to the 9 breaking the influence of the chip and attempting to start a new world order.
This will spark the fracture of the syndicate into a series of global syndicates which will then fight each other just as they did before.
