At the moment, it's pretty light-hearted and comedic. The male lead is Tatsuya Ichinose, a 3rd year student at Jindai High (where Ono-D, now a geography teacher, is also his homeroom teacher). He's a bit of a perv, likes the older ladies, and loves doing work on Power Slaves (mini civvie-use AS-like machines that aren't built for combat, but for utility, like construction or deforesting or what-have-you). The female lead is Adelina Aleksandrovna Kerenskaya, working for a PMC called DOMS (Dana O'Shee Military Service). Mao seems to be pretty much running DOMS, which is how we see her again. 'Lina seems to have a difficult time telling when someone is messing with her, considering Mao finds it easy to convince her to cosplay XD I still haven't sat down and read it, don't know WHY. I've had it for two and a half months, now... So, yeah, can't give many details on the new characters, 'cause I haven't actually read it yet, though I did read the summaries. ...I guess I'm just being really lazy =.= Second volume comes out December 20th, perhaps the action will pick up.

That reminds me. Where there every any political maps for Full Metal Panic's universe? I know somethings are rather different in their continuing Cold War.
(also is there a political/historical timeline about events that are different from ours as to why the Cold War continues and just what has changed.)

Well also recall that most of the "history" in Full Metal Panic goes until around I suppose the middle of 2001. Only the most recent project is in 2011 and we have little knowledge from it yet.
Thus real world historical events post 2001 would not be covered yet in FMP material until such time as FMP:Another fills in those blanks. My question were just on stuff leading up to FMP itself in 1999. A good FMP:2011 update would be wonderful, but I don't think that much has come out yet.

I'd guess with the new USSR, the JSDF would be on high alert again, considering how close Kamchatka is. Nothing on Europe? I wonder if the Warsaw Pact still exists. Also, I wonder just what the Soviets did to stop NATO from retaliating with a nuclear strike...

I keep thinking a nuke went off in Israel later on, but I think I'm confusing that with some other fiction. I do seem to recall Kurts spends time (working/sniping) in Israel from time to time.

Who is Carlos? And that thing on his Jaw looks very much like a glass of beer. That, or i'm an alcoholic seeing beer everywhere. But there seems to be a christmas-tree in the back...
Edit: I don't understand what's written on that site but besides Adelina or Tatsuya, this could also be Kurz: |

No idea who Carlos is, other than being that guy XD Pretty sure on his left (viewer's right) is a Bonta-kun, and his right DOES look a lot like beer.
And for that other guy in the B&W image, I think that's supposed to be a new villain, not anyone we've seen yet.
