Axis vs Allies R-word (Map Game)

Axis vs Allies R-word is the sixth and latest installment is the latest AvA game to date! It will have new rules for old time's sake. We respect the almighty Pita and his almighty legacy in this game, so no one shall have Korea! Except Japan!

The year is 1933. Hitler has just taken power in Germany. The world is still in a depression. Unemployment is high. Choose a nation, and command it to success and glory. Will your nation become a superpower? Or will it be crushed? Make no mistake; war is coming ... with all its glory ... and all its horror.

It is never too late to join, as Pita would say.

''' GUYS. MAKE YOUR OWN ALGOS; THE MODS WILL FIX THEM UP LATER. '''

''' Great news guys! We have ten more editors than the next page, the almighty Principia Moderni II. We have shot guys! '''

Rules

 * 1) We are going to limit the nations count to one because when a person gets two countries, they usually neglect the other one.
 * 2) The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated ... IS NOT IT! But you must be plausible.
 * 3) Nuclear programs may start in 1940. The mods will decide who finishes through the chance algorithm and then common sense (which is not so common).
 * 4) One half year per day.
 * 5) We will have resolutions/stuff when the UN is created.
 * 6) For now, Scraw is the mapmaker.
 * 7) New turns start at 22:00:00 UTC or 5:00 EST.
 * 8) Game is archived every 15 years.
 * 9) A new image file is created for every new map, which is created every two years.
 * 10) After a nation has been inactive for two years, Plausibility Points will be taken away. After five years, the user will be removed from the game.
 * 11) You may create proxies and use them in turns.

Mod Rules

 * 1) The number of mods is set and the mods are handpicked for their reputation as sane and plausible map gamers.
 * 2) In the case that a mod leaves, the other mods will pick a replacement.
 * 3) Mods must be plausible in their mod events and must not target any particular nation.
 * 4) Carving large empires is NOT a cause for mod targeting, unless it is implausible.
 * 5) Mods are moderated by me, Scraw. (Pita's name actually belongs here.)
 * 6) Mods can make up their own fancy title!

Vassal Rules

 * 1) You cannot make stupid vassals. This means that if you are France, you cannot make a puny vassal to help in an algorithm.

 * 3) Main nations can declare war on a nation that border a vassal.

Organization Rules

 * 1) Anyone can create a terrorist organization, but anyone who is less than a primary power cannot use terrorism to destroy heads of government or state, or to blow up seats of government.

But the quote is.
 * Thailand: Thailand begins to build up the military and asks Japan for an alliance.
 * Brazil: With the government just barely recovering issues just three years ago Getúlio Dornelles Vargas, continues his push towards a more repressive Fascist government. Along with this Vargas orders for the resources of Brazil to be more readily exploited deficit spending attempting to recover the economy and move the country away from its import and other foreign reliance. Along with this the focus on resource and industrial expansion as well as the new infrastructural work programs begin pushing for the construction of new highway systems and roads as well. The build up of the military industrial complex begins as well. Brazil requests Japan, and Germany to invest in Brazilian resource and industry to help bring back an influx of well-to-do available resources on the global market. Influence on Venezuela begins. Brazil looks to reaffirm their trade and relationship with Argentina. The Brazilian navy with Vargas' emphasis on new security and more influence, Begins construction of one new battleship, the Dom Pedro, with the Saõ Paulo, and Minas Gerais being Heavily modernized. A New Carrier is designed as well with construction to begin soon.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan agrees to invest in the Brazilian economy for a free trade agreement with favorable prices for both parties.
 * Japan: Japan agrees to the Thai request fro an alliance and offers to help modernize the Thai army. A new industrialization program begins aimed at increasing Japan's industrial capacity. The military development of the Pacific mandate is expanded, while the navy undergoes the start of an expansion and upgrade, with research into subs and sonar beginning. plans to build modernized aircraft carriers are started. Political instability in the Empire continues as the military continues to subjugate the civilian government which tries to hold onto power as much as possible. More troops are sent to the continent to help control Korea, and Manchuria which is declared the Empire of Manchukuo. Japanization of Chosun and Taihoku continue, and settlement by Japanese grow. Research into biological weapons begins. And efforts to develop new firearms are made, and to a lesser extent tanks. expansion of infrastructure and education is started.


 * Thai Diplomacy: Thailand accepts Japan's help to modernise the army.
 * The Soviet Union begins the Second Five Year Plan. Stalin orders mass increases in industrial productivity and faster advancement of the military. He also wants new weapons for the Soviets. Something something, no purges! The Soviets have a better economy than the rest of the world because we didn't fall into the Depression. #Communism
 * This was when the Soviet caught up ... they managed to push high up when it came to industrial development but they were still not the worlds best economy. they were extremely isolated.
 * I know, but the Soviets didn't have a giant depression like the rest of the world.
 * Ethiopia: Halie Selassie I acknowledges the fact that his military is technologically inferior to his enemies, and orders the re-organization of his forces as well as the creation of a dedicated military-industrial complex to support. He also orders the start of a nation-wide literacy campaign to bring information to all of his subjects, and modernize his empire. Ethiopia contracts numerous Western corporations to build railways in the country, as the one rail it has is a simply, narrow-gauge rail line that does little to promote industrial growth in the country. Centralization of the government into Imperial hands has long been completed, but it is understood that a constitution is required by the nation to show it is a modern power. Elsewhere, the search for oil in the Ogaden begins with Imperial sponsoring, as it has been suggested by many sources that Ethiopia may possess a small reserve of petroleum in the eastern half of the empire beyond the highlands.
 * United States: President Franklin D. Roosevelt begins recruiting members - both Democratic and Republic - of Congress to help pass the bills related to his planned New Deal. Meanwhile, construction on the Golden Gate Bridge continues in San Francisco and construction on the Hoover Dam continues (It was completed in 1935). In terms of the Philippines, the vote to determine its fate has a slim majority in favor of remaining in the United States. However, another vote is planned to determine if they wants to become a state or remain an American territory. Research on all technology at the time continues, while the DoW has plans to expand the Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
 * My bad.
 * The UK responds to the growing cries for home rule from India with an Act to grant Home Rule. After several votes on it, the bill passes by a narrow margin (here you go Imp; I still expect loads of troops). Meanwhile, Britain invests in Ethiopia, offering to implement their military overhaul. To further this we send over trainers, to help instruct their men in the latest battlefield tactics. Anthony Eden makes a speech in the House of Commons railing at the 'sorry state of the air force'. As a result, a large amount of money is funneled into improving the air force, and the Corsairs and Swordfishes that are the mass of the Air Force are slowly replaced by the new Hurricane, so far the best aircraft ever designed; best in speed, ceiling, and armament (It was later superseded). After an accident in Cornwall involving the collapse of a Coal Mine, the government decides to step up the infrastructure in these mines. #KeepCalmAndKillHitler
 * Germany: Hitler and the Nazi party quickly seize control of the government. As chancellor, Hitler begins to issue a series of acts that marginalize both minority groups and other political parties. President Hindenburg does what he can to limit the power of the Nazis, but he is old and can only do so much. Industry is expanded in Bavaria, Silesia, and the demilitarized Rhineland to strengthen the economy. The unemployed are put to work rebuilding Germany's roads and infrastructure. The government does what it can to provide for the unemployed, but it can only do so much because of the Entente. Hitler approves of the trade deals with Brazil and Estonia, and offers trade agreements to Finland as well. The military is expanded and research into better airplanes begins. The small German navy is also expanded by a few small ships. Some German businessmen are encouraged by the government to invest in Brazil. A diplomatic overture is made to Italy to make a Fascist alliance for all Fascist nations worldwide. #Uniteallyeoppressed
 * France reminds Germany that under the Treaty of Versailles, it is not allowed to have more than six battleships, six cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 12 torpedo boats.
 * Germany reminds France that Germany is well aware of the restrictions.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We agree to a military alliance with Germany.
 * France, still seething from the war, builds up its military. The navy and the army are expanded. Rebuilding continues as the French economy is still reeling from the depression. Public works projects are started to help improve the economy by hiring the unemployed. Much activity in the country is just 'getting back up on its feet'.
 * Yugoslavia: Begins to build up the military to a larger degree, with a slight emphasis on navy. We begin to station soldiers along the border of Albania but no moves have been made yet. Attempts at creating a perfect nation-state continue, with the emphasis on Yugoslavian nationalism and propaganda against separatists. The military begins looking into Zeppelin technology.
 * Yugoslav. D: We offer an alliance to Greece, and a trade deal to Brazil and Germany.
 * Greek D: We agree on the Yugoslavian alliance and will aid the Yugoslavians in any upcoming conflict.
 * German Diplomacy: Yeah, trade and stuff.
 * Iceland: We begin to build up our military just in case we get attacked. We also ask for an alliance and trade agreement with Sweden to form a Scandinavian League.
 * Vatican City We ask Italy to have more guards in the city. We also ask Brazil if we could build a second Vatican.#hailthepope


 * Brazil Dip: B razil will agree to this, our highest ranking church officials will help set it up in Rio de Janeiro and we will vote on the leader of the Catholic Church in the Americas and set it up within a full year's time.
 * You know better than this feud. -_-
 * Hungary: start to modernize the country to increase the production of good and improve the economy. The far right movements start to plot against the government and start to recruit for a coup among the military. We ask for a trade deal with Romania and Austria.
 * This is the problem with us as mods, guys. We're all too lazy to start new turns. Maybe we should invite Collie over?


 * Netherlands: Lucky me with the lazy mods:) Military begins to build up and so does our industry. With this, we upgrade it with 0.25. Forts are build around important strategic points. We ask for a trade agreement with Germany, Belgium, France and the UK. The focus on tech lies on industry-improvement techs and better mass production of modern weapons. The Fascist party grows slightly in popularity especially in the south.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government SECRETLY begins searching for ways to unite the Islamic world under their leadership, and expel the European invaders in the Middle East. The expansion of the Turkish military begins with the modernization of the army and the development of the air force. The government SECRETLY begins to supply Arab and Muslim rebels in British Palestine and French Syria, and the mobilization for a military invasion of Persia is taken.
 * Portugal: The Estado Novo is established. António de Oliveira Salazar, the most popular man in Portugal at the time reaches a new peak in his popularity. The government continues to promote the accepted ideals of Roman Catholicism and right-wing corporatism. PIDE, the secret police, is organized and created. We begin to promulgate the expansion of similar ideologies throughout southern Europe. We begin to work closely with Mussolini and Hitler, seeing as they are largely styled after our system.
 * Iceland: Asks All Benelux States and Scandinavian states for an alliance.
 * Austria: Germany is offered an alliance. We begin influencing Hungary, and we build up our military as well as begin research into new tanks and bombers. A Fascist party known as the Rezzurrection Party begins to gain followers. Its only goal is to reform Austria-Hungary, only as federal state. We work on economy and infrastructure.

''' OTL stuff.   A meteor hits and kills Hitler. Some people notice that the meteor is blue ... a box ... with strange resemblance to a British police telephone box ... from the future ... '''

'''TARDIS WITH WORKING CHAMELEON CIRCUIT WITH A COMMUNIST ASSASSIN TIME LORD INSIDE. (NAILED IT.)'''

''' GUNS APPROVES. '''
 * Turkey:  Fearing British ambitions in Persia, Turkish forces invade the nation to secure it from the European colonial power. The Turks continue to SECRETLY provide aid to the pro-Turkish and Arab rebels, hoping to see the overthrow of the Europeans there. A trade pact is extended to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, and troops are promised to the Yugoslavians if the promise to leave Bulgaria and Romania to Turkey is accepted. Also, the Turk ask that the Yugoslavs not align themselves with the British or the French. The air force is expanded along with the army in light of the recent invasion of Persia.
 * Umm - I don't think you can just say someone accepts something ...


 * And make a bloody algo. I'll fix it up later, but you lay down the basics.
 * Turkey, what are you smoking?
 * The Soviet Union is not interested.
 * Germany: The military continues to expand and rearm, but the Rhineland is still demilitarized. The Nazi government continues to marginalize other political parties. Widespread persecution of Communists occurs after the Reichstag is attacked by a Dutch Communist. Hindenberg is still trying to limit the power of the Nazi party, and he begins to draft legislation to do so, while also supporting more moderate members of the party. Industry and infrastructure is still expanding across the country, but Bavaria, Silesia, and the Rhineland continue to be the main areas of industrial production. New tank designs are drafted by Krupp Industries, but none are made yet. Due to the alliance with Fascist Italy, the Nazi government becomes more bold and considers re-militarizing the Rhineland within a year. The government continues to do what it can to help the poor and unemployed find work and food. All proposed trade agreements are signed into law.
 * Brazil secret D: We offer to help in the manufacture of German war equipment if it is done through the newly emerging Brazilian military industrial complex.
 * Portugal: Salazar sends special envoys to Berlin to consider the possibilities of creating an extensive alliance between Portugal, Germany, and Italy.
 * Germany: The German government is pleased on Portugal's proposition, and declares support for such an alliance. We also agree to import weapons from Brazil, provided that they follow the regulations of the Treaty.
 * Turkey D: asks to buy 150 panzer 1's from Germany
 * He can't build them yet ... are you seriously that bad at map games.
 * Greek D: We ask the Germans for an alliance or a non-aggression pact.
 * Germany: Something something something, done.
 * Austrian Diplomacy: We offer Germany an alliance.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved.
 * Jap Dip: Japan offers Thailand a free trade agreement and a treaty granting free movement of Japanese in Thailand, and Thai in Japan, along with favorable conditions for Japanese investment in Thailand.
 * Thai Diplomacy: Thailand agrees to all of Japan's offers.
 * Greece: Seeing the newly and growing rampancy of the Turkish republic, the Yugoslavs and hopefully to bring Bulgaria into an alliance against a possible Turkish invasion on the Balkans. While this, the military expands as well as the navy to protect the Insular regions of Greece and an offer to France to buy their colony in Djibouti or some territory in North Africa if they agree. an alliance is asked to the British and the Greek nation continues growing.
 * Greece can in no way afford to purchase a colony during the Great Depression ... or ever for that matter... The Unchallenged Conqueror #FP (Talk to Me) 
 * Germans or British, pick one. 
 * K, Germans then.
 * Japan: The Japanese military continues to exert influence over the civilian government and ultra-nationalists attempt to seize power in a coup. However, they are dissuaded by more level headed thinkers who hope to control the civilian government from behind the scenes. Military influence over Emperor Showa also increases permitting much greater legal freedom for the military in Korea and in Manchukuo. Pujie the brother of Emperor Puyi of Manchuria is married to Lady Hiro Saga a distant relative of the Japanese Emperor with the intention of introducing Japanese blood into the Manchu Dynasty and solidifying Japan's control over the Puppet state. The training of a Manchurian military begins to serve as a supporting force for the Japanese military. It is, however, largely made up of ethnic Manchu and of Han collaborators to secure the loyalty of the forces. Anti-guerrilla activities begin throughout Manchuria aimed at suppressing all anti-Japanese sentiment, these efforts include military operations and an extensive propaganda campaign built around Manchu-Japanese friendship. Mild settlement of Japanese and Koreans is also initiated to help expand the local economy. Industry and railways in Manchuria and Korea undergo an expansion program to help develop local manufacturing and resource exploitation to stimulate Home Island growth and integrate the continental economies to that of the Home Islands. Industrial expansion in the Home islands continues. The Japanization of Formosa continues with a plan to incorporate Taihoku and the whole of the island into the Home Islands within 15 years as a prefecture. Naval expansion continues as the new aircraft carriers undergo construction as do the new imperial subs. Education and health in Japan continue to undergo improvements. Designs for new firearms and tanks continue. A chemical and biological weapons program is set up in Manchuria and in Japanese Micronesia well away from media centres. funding into advanced physics is also started in the imperial universities of Tokyo and Osaka. Japan requests that the United States leave the Philippines as a territory and warns against expanding into the Orient. Influence over Southern China begins. Economic adventures by Japanese businessmen in South East Asia expand (this happened OTL as well). Japan requests free economic access to the French and British Colonies in East Asia, in exchange for preferential treatment of British and French merchants in Manchuria and the Japanese Sphere.
 * Yugoslavia: Continues to build up the military and support national and ethnic unity across the nation, and some progress is made as more and more people begin to consider themselves Yugoslavian rather than other things (e.g. Croatian). The nation continues in research of Zeppelin technology, and also begins a submarine program. We begin a new series of economic policies to help recover from the Depression. Soldiers are stationed along the Yugoslav-Albanian border and an invasion of Albania begins (ALGO).
 * The Soviet Union continues to expand the military and industry. The Second Five Year Plan continues. Georgy Zhukov encourages Stalin to retrain his generals, rather than purge. Stalin decides to give the generals whom he does not trust a mission. Their job is to invade and conquer Finland. As such, war is declared on Finland in the name of regaining all lost lands. Stalin also has his eye set on Poland.
 * ALGO. ALGO. NOW>
 * Done.
 * Brazil: The Modernization of the Minar Gerais, and the Sao Paulo battleships continue with the Dom Pedro being put under intense construction alongside a carrier. Various destroyers and cruisers are also planned. The military industrial complex while geared towards weapons development, in order to create more jobs some of the complexes that are not necessary are devoted to civilian manufacturing with more money being spent to help the economy right itself. The nation also begins the usage of resources to continue industrial bolstering and buildup. The military is expanded to a ripe number of 550,000. The Weaponry of Brazil is semi-updated but with Germany fronting weapons production to Brazil we begin producing those weapons. The Brazilian industries especially resource extraction, now with foreign backing begin to expand exponentially. Influence on Venezuela continues with good relations being capitalized on. German investment begins manufacturing ship parts for sale to them by request, and various weaponry of German origin with which we have the designs, too. With certain exports being almost wholly unprofitable many people are turned to work at various developing national industries which begin a push towards bringing the Brazilian currency back in check. With certain monetary surpluses the government begins buying gold bullion again. Coffee is also bought and burned to prevent the total bankruptcy of farmers.
 * Sweden:    We invade Finland. Steel production continues at full force with new mines and refineries, particularly in Kalmer are built. A new rising party is founded, the Fascist Party. Their main job is to unify the Scandinavians and promote FASCISM. The military is mobilized as construction on a few top secret "Super ships" are made. In the far north lots of land is set aside for the army for training. Influence of Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia begins. Also alliances are requested of Italy and Germany. 
 * Sorry, USSR already did that. Also, where is this Swenden you speak of? 
 * United States: President Roosevelt passes the first bills of the New Deal, which he hopes would bring the US out of economic recession. The vote to determine whether the Philippines would become an American state or remain a territory is held. Meanwhile, construction on Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge continues. Research into all modern technology at the time continues, while the Department of War orders the laying down and commissioning of two aircraft carrier. Two battleships, the USS Arizona and USS Nevada - along with four destroyers and two submarines - are deployed to the Philippines to protect the American people. The Department of Transportation begins to design a transcontinental road system to connect every major city and town with each other.
 * I know this is a weird and out of the blue request ... keep the Arizona alive: (what happened to her OTL is sad and I kinda don't want a repeat of that.
 * France increases its navy and sends some of the newer ships to patrol the waters around French colonies. The government continues its economic projects, attempting to jump start the economy again. The economic crisis is hitting hard, and the government is doing all in its power to reverse the depression.
 * France didn't have an alliance with the US then. It wasn't until they actually got involved in WW2 that the US aligned itself with France. The Unchallenged Conqueror #FP (Talk to Me) 
 * Meh. I assumed it carried over from WWI. CourageousLife (talk)
 * Hungary: The nationalism continues to recruit among the military and the people tired of the weak governments as the economy is very bad. Meanwhile, the government continues to modernize the country to western standards while trying to keep friendly relations with the countries around. A far right party talk about claiming some area around to bring all the Hungarian under the same flag while the Communists support a Communist regime. While the modernization continues, a rumor that the government will increase taxes cause a short panic.
 * Iceland: We build one factory and increase army to 10,000 men. Asks Sweden and Netherlands and Belgium for alliance. Asks to buy guns from Britain.
 * No. (IC, as Britain, and OOC, as your mod.)
 * Netherlands: We accept Iceland's alliance offer and also send them a trade agreement. All research continues and industry also grows. German ships raise the Swastika flag on Queens Day in the Amsterdam harbor (happened in OTL) and we are insulted by this brutal demonstration. Because of this 'incident' a Fascist radical fires a gun on the "Gouden Koets" (that's what the queen rides in). Nobody gets hit and the attacker is shot dead immediately. With this, a large protest march against Fascist parties in the Netherlands. Secret: We begin supporting Flemish nationalists in Belgium and supply them with goods to get them more supporters.
 * Jap Diplomacy: Japan requests free trade access to the East Indies in exchange for similar preference to Dutch merchants in Japan's sphere.
 * Ned Dip: We accept your offer.
 * Ethiopia: Modernization continues with Emperor's backing, and the literacy program moves forward with much progress. many children are learning to read as are adults, who have come to utilize the information of books to help to farm their lands better, which results in healthier and more abundant crops. The military continues to reorganize and modernize, with new khaki uniforms entering service with the Imperial Army. The Emperor makes an order of tanks from any Western nation willing to sell to them, and teach his soldiers how to operate them. The military expanded by 80,000 men to 150,000 men, as the empire's borders continue to tighten under the weight of the European colonial empires. The industrialization of Ethiopia continues with a major industrial park built outside of Addis Ababa, where the Imperial family plans to tour the area to see the fruits of their labor.
 * Austria: The Rezzurrection Party continues to grow stronger with support. It now has the backing of 14% of the population, while the Austrian Nazi Party has 36%. Still, many begin leaving the Nazis and joining the Rezzurrection Party. The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance, as well as continuing to influence Hungary. A non-aggression pact is offered to Yugoslavia. We work on our economy and infrastructure.
 * The UK strongly dislikes the actions of the USSR and lodges an objection that will of course be ignored. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales is killed in an accident involving a bucket of dung, a match, a piece of cake, some oil, and a tissue (we will not go any further into this). The nation goes into mourning, though some do believe that he was a bit too reckless to become King. His position is succeeded by his brother, the Duke of York, who suffers from a speech problem but works on it with the help of Geoffrey Rush  some speech doctor from Australia. The first Spitfire, now the fastest plan on Earth, with a possible speed of over 250 mph, is released, along with an updated Tempest, the Mk IV, capable of advanced dogfights as well as massive ground attack capability (I know, I'm rushing it a bit, but ...). The nation also performs an overhaul on factories, boosting production by nearly 3%.
 * Vatican City: With a second Vatican being erected in Rio, the Pope appoints a leader of that land, under him of course.\
 * Are you high?
 * DRUGS ARE BAD, MR POPE
 * Congratulations, Dean, you just made mod xDDD
 * I accept this nomination. Later I will select my running mate.
 * Mexico:  A pro-Nazi anarchist named Juan Sanchez secretly assassinates Abelardo L. Rodriguez and his family in the dead of night, and does reveal himself to the public for a week. When he does, he promises to lead Mexico to glory, and to retake Texas from the financially crippled United States. Immediately, Emperor Sanchez (self-proclaimed title) begins a massive draft of all able-bodied men, and even hires women into both combat and non-combat positions to show he has no gender bias. He also contacts Adolf Hitler, requesting military support in exchange for goods. Sanchez also takes it upon himself to begin modernizing the crumbling railway system and build more highways to connect its population centers. Large amounts of funding are appropriated for weapons research, namely automatic weaponry, bigger bombs, longer-range bombers (with German support), and chemical weaponry. Sanchez orders all Mexicans in the United States to return to their home country for mandatory military training, though a few remain as spies. Mexico requests a trade deal with Germany, as well as assistance in building Zeppelins so it can boost commerce with Germany.
 * BNSF, smoking is not good.
 * Let it stand. It'll be interesting.
 * China: In a small skirmish with the Rebels in the North, the Leader 'Mao' is KIA. The heart goes out of many of the rebels, and they are pushed back.
 * Austrian Diplomacy: We offer China an alliance.

1934
''' Tensions begin to rise in Europe because of Hitler's activities, training troops and increasing the military. '''

''' The Pope is kicked out of office after it is found that he has been smoking Cocaine (just kidding, but Toby, get more plausible). '''

''' The USSR's attacks on Finland are strongly condemned by the British and French. The League of Nations ejects the USSR and Japan. The USSR could not care less. '''

''' The invasion of Finland causes many members of the Finnish government and populace to flee the country. Most settle in Estonia, but some also flee to Britain and America. The Finnish government sets itself up in exile in London, similar to Belarus. '''
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist Temples are built.
 * Germany: A terrible tragedy strikes the nation of Germany. This year, German Communist Josef “Beppo” Römer assassinates Adolf Hitler. Römer is quickly taken aside and shot, but the damage is done (a few protest that he is innocent, stating that a large blue meteor crashed into the Chancellor's car, but this idea is rapidly dismissed). This sparks a terrible purge of Communists and other left-leaning individuals in Germany, and left-leaning ideas become detested. Hindenburg appoints a more moderate Nazi official, Albert Speer, to take the position of the chancellor. Soon after, Hindenburg himself dies of old age. Hitler's close friend and confident Martin Bormann is elected president of Germany shortly after in a snap election. However, this election splinters the Nazi party a great deal, with many disputing the outcome of the election. Either way, Speer and Bormann try to co-operate with each other in order to maintain the stability of both the party and Germany. Following the Soviet Invasion of Finland, Bormann and Speer both agree to re-militarize the Rhineland, and 3000 soldiers are marched in. Militarization also occurs, and weapon manufacturing and design resumes in earnest. The first designs of the Panzer I is drafted, but none have been made yet. This is all done to counter the perceived threat of the Soviets. Guys, let me know if this is plausible.
 * ​France warns Germany that militarizing the Rhine is in violation of the treaty of the war where Germany got its butt kicked. France kindly asks that Germany step off.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: the Japanese government offers the German government a defence pact and a free trade agreement based on bilateral relations and offers to formally purchase the South pacific mandate which was ceded to the empire in 1919 to formally incorporate the islands as a colony of Japan.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany thanks Japan for its offer and promises that the funds will go to helping the German people and to further strengthen German-Japanese relations. Germany tells France not to be afraid.
 * Austrian Diplomacy: We offer Germany an alliance.
 * Why are you militarizing the Rhine? The Russians are on the other side. LOL.
 * I know, I pointed that out as well. Makes for a convenient excuse :P
 * Yes, it is legit.
 * The USSR continues to build up the military and industry. Stalin decides that his generals are capable enough to continue to their work  and begins to decommission NKVD officers who were spying on generals and other military officials . Stalin is not happy about what is happening to Communists in Germany and asks the Germans to stop. On the other hand, he is glad to be ejected from the League of Nations, for now he is free from its regulations and whatnot. He uses the re-militarization of the Rhineland as an excuse to build up the military on the western border. Zhukov convinces Stalin to not send captured Finns to gulags and whatnot, but instead to add them to the Red Army in their own units. He reluctantly agrees to this idea.
 * And in another surprising turn of events, it turns out that the Pope was smoking along with Stalin!
 * I'm trying not to have a purge ... fool.
 * I'm trying not to have an implausogasm ... fool.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government requests a non-aggression pact with the U.S.S.R. for a period of 20 years with the option to renew it at the end of the time lapse
 * Yugoslavia: We continue development into Zeppelin and submarine technology and manage to make good progress. Orthodox-Catholic-Sunni conflicts arise in the nation with protests common, but oddly enough, Orthodox Christianity is on the rise, converting small amounts of Catholics and larger amounts of Muslims. An assassination attempt occurs and a bullet hits King Alexander in the right shoulder, but the marksman managed to escape. The military continues to expand, and soldiers are placed along the Bulgarian border. Anti-Islamic stance is taken by most.
 * Yugoslav D: We offer to sell what was Southern Albania to Greece. We openly condemn the Soviet invasion of Finland. We accept the Austrian non-aggression pact.
 * Yugoslav D: We offer a deal to Greece to aid us in a future war against Albania, in which Greece gets the Southern half
 * The enraged Soviet government quietly sends aid to Communists in Yugoslavia.
 * Austria graciously accepts. We ask if we may buy Southern Albania, and move supplies through Yugoslavia to maintain it.
 * As the algo showed, Dax, you took about two percent of Albania. That is not by any means all of the South. get off it. And Dean, I'm slightly disappointed. Not plausible, even if he did control it. -_-
 * Not my fault you guys didn't explain all so well
 * Hungary: the nationalist continue to recruit people, a coup is stage for the next six months after that many high rank in the military are approach by the rebel, they accept due to the fact that the government make a speech in which military spending will be reduce. The number of factory increase like the production capacity.
 * Brazil: The Modernization of the Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais is complete. The construction of the new carrier and new battleship continue. Brazil with foreign investment into its natural resources and industry continues to use this to bolster is arms and ship parts production along with the production of various other materials known in the construction of vehicles. Consumer industry continues to rise as does the participation in public works. The deficit spending while many have criticized it has began to do as it promised by creating new jobs, pushing thousands back into the work force, modernizing and building new infrastructure continues as well as the notable expansion of Brazilian industry. Along with this Vargas begins granting contracts to domestic Brazilian companies to begin the search for oil. Some companies search the deep Atlantic waters attempting to find oil but the most promising discoveries are made throughout Southern Brazil but are also throughout central and Northern Brazil. The investment into these areas begins immediately with the first expected barrels of oil to become available within a year by the first refineries. Brazilian businessmen begin to invest in Venezuelan oil companies expanding current oil operations and given these men certain stock in the company as well as the Oil and profits from it. Brazil decides to keep many of its investment limited to nations its friendly with or with certain things that outweigh any other issues. Influence on Venezuela proper continues. The Brazilian government increases ties with Argentina.
 * France continues increasing its military, accelerated by the recent actions of Nazi Germany and the USSR. Consultants travel to the United Kingdom to compare notes on these recent events and the responses that they warrant.
 * Jap Diplomacy: Japan requests a free trade agreement with France and access to Indochina to access the resources of the area to help stimulate mutual growth for both Japan and the French colony. (I'm looking to access resources peacefully and in a way that benefits all parties to avoid a massive Pacific war for the moment.)
 * France will hesitantly agree for the moment.
 * The United States begins to come out of the Great Depression, but still has a long way to go. Meanwhile, construction on the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam continues, while plans to expand or improve the infrastructure in the eastern and northwest United States begins. The DoT begins to plan for a transcontinental highway network. Meanwhile, research on all modern technology continues, while the two ordered aircraft carriers are laid down at Newport News. The USAF begins to take interest into the newly-presented technology called radar and, inspired by the recently British-produced Spitfire, asks the DoW for funds to begin researching and developing a new aircraft. The Secretary of War reluctantly agrees to fund the project, but with the Great Depression still at hand, support from the federal government is limited. In the Philippines, Task Force Protector - led by the USS Arizona - arrives in Manila. Roosevelt plans to expand the the military bases at Guantanamo Bay is expanded. Roosevelt is concerned about world events, but does nothing at the moment. (Is there anything wrong with the post?)
 * Looks fine to me. -MP
 * Umm ... Good, except for the bits about the Filipino poll. Most Filipinos were against the idea of being ruled by the Americans, and anyway ... I'm not sure it would be a state ...  --Guns
 * If it had remained part of America it could definitely have been a state or even multiple states.
 * No, Dax. It was basically a colony. No cultural tie to the US. It's like having India become part of the actual nation of Britain.
 * Can I also point out that Panama becoming a US territory out of this kind of situation is also kind of weird. It directly violates a previous agreement between Panama and the US and wouldn't have happened.
 * No, I'm cool with that one. What are the Panamanians going to do?
 * Well, considering it was certain treaties that only the Canal Zone was a territory, so sorry for the misunderstanding but Panama Canal itself was already a territory, not Panama proper which wouldn't have happened. The US was isolationist and anti-imperialistic at this point, expanding its overseas territories in this way wouldn't have happened. 
 * This is just the Canal Zone. Also, Feud, please stop signing off like that,
 * My bad. I had someone mistake me for Scraw a few days ago because I didn't sign. 
 * S'all good, LOL. Just sign off like this: -- Guns
 * Would it be better that the Philippines becomes a commonwealth? Or just remain a territory? - Enclave
 * Just wait until 1935 and do it like OTL so there are no weird things that happen because they actually became a commonwealth in '35.
 * ^ Just not a state, I think that's a bit too far.
 * Okay. Thanks, guys. - Enclave
 * They could totally be a state. Hell, Hawaii used to be culturally different from Polynesians, Alaska used to be culturally different as it was Russian, Puerto Rico is still culturally different and it seems that it will be a state withing the next decade.
 * There is a difference. Both of your examples A) do actually large white populations, even if they are minorities, and B) did not have active resistance movements at the time of Statehood.
 * I agree it couldn't be a state within two decades of 1934 but it could totally be a state later. Also, most Western states were mostly populated by Hispanics for quite a while after the American-Mexican War.
 * There is a difference; THE FILIPINOS DID NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE UNION. They had an active insurgency and by the end were still protesting against American rule. As I said; could the UK have made India fully integrated into Britain?
 * Japan: military development continues, with the armed forces being expanded and development of new weapons and a new tank design moving forward. Japanese industry continues to expand in the home islands along with in Korea which is receiving more Japanese settlers. The military continues to exert extensive influence over the civilian government. However, it is not as brutal as before as the more level headed thinkers take control of the military and subsequently of the government, permitting the civilian government to retain formal power while the military retains control from the shadows. Influence in Southern and Coastal China continues to grow as agents of the imperial military infiltrate the levels of government. taking advantage of the disunity within China Japanese agents begin looking for support amongst discontent leaders within China to help lead a possible puppet regime in the future, and to promote pro-Japanese, and pro-pan Asian sentiment. Economic expansion in South East Asia continues to grow, as more and more industrialists and merchants are permitted access to the vast resources of the region. Naval expansion continues, and the planned aircraft carriers continue construction, as do the subs, also several new battle cruisers and other ships are planned for construction, including two new battleships. However, naval thinkers are moving more and more towards aircraft carriers. all technological and infrastructure expansion and research  continue. Investment in Brazil and Thailand continue to grow as does the training of the Thai armed forces.
 * Manchukuo: More Japanese troops are deployed to Manchuria and infrastructure is expanded particularly industrial and military infrastructure. Puyi is formally declared Emperor of Manchukuo and his brother is proclaimed heir apparent. Pujie marries lady Saga Hiro. Japanese influence within the government is extensive. However, it is not brutal and some concessions to increase Manchu living standards and autonomy are made, with the intention  of gaining  support from the locals. The Manchu Imperial forces continue to be built from scrape as all those units considered unloyal from the former republic of China forces are disbanded and disarmed efficiently. Anti-Japanese propaganda and groups continue to face extensive suppression at the hands of the Manchu officials, the Japanese military, and the Kempatai (Japanese military police/secret police similar to the Gestapo) which has began to expand its operations within the Manchu State.
 * Sweden: Steel production continues at full force with new mines and refineries, particularly in Kalmer are built. A new rising party is founded, the Fascist Party. Their main job is to unify the Scandinavians and promote FASCISM . The military is mobilized as construction on a few top secret "Super ships" are made. In the far north lots of land is set aside for the army for training. More Catholic-Lutheran unification thought is rising. Influence of Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia begins. A new paratrooper division is made. Also alliances are requested of Italy and Germany. SECRET: W e propose a unification offer to Iceland where they become an AUTONOMOUS member of Scandinavia and they would get their own small military and have control of Greenland and all the Northern Islands. We ask if any nation would want our iron ore or steel.
 * I would have been justified in crossing out this entire post, but I'll be nice, Oct.
 * The super ships - honestly I plan them being finished in 1950, the unification offer plausible, the Scands want to unify.
 * Iceland was actually a colony of Denmark at the time, take it up with the Danes.
 * Um - Oct, the ideal of pan-Scandinavian all but died out in the 1860s when Sweden refused to back up Denmark against Prussia in the second Holtien war. While Scandinavian art and music continued, any momentum for political unity died out. Nkbeeching (talk) 01:17, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Spain: The Spanish Republicans are in office following an election in 1933. Alejandro Lerroux has rolled back changes made by the previous government. Spain begins to draw closer to Germany, though civil war is looming in the Iberian nation.
 * Liechtenstein: We are alarmed by the actions of Hitler, and we begin to start up our military just in case of a German invasion. We ask to trade with Netherlands and Sweden. We purchase some guns and also employ ten soldiers.
 * Hitler is dead ...
 * Austria: The Rezzurrection Party continues to grow stronger with support. It now has the backing of 24% of the population, while the Austrian Nazi Party essentially collapses with the death of Hitler and its sister party collapsing in Germany. This causes large chunks of the population to move over to the Rezzurrection Party, increasing it to 31%. The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance, as well as continuing to influence Hungary. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We begin to influence Czechoslovakia.
 * Who replaced my Ressurrection Party with Rezzurrection Party? Because the double Z makes an interesting idea for a flag. Albeit similar looking to a very racist one.
 * Hitler just died, the Nazi party is very much still alive.
 * Dominion of India: Many begin to advocate complete independence and this leads to a lot of protesting on the streets as a large percentage of people are not happy with just basic home rule granted to them by the British Empire. Major cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Bangalore are all hit in this wave of protesting - causing problems for the British authority. However, things begin to really kick off in Chittagong. After four years of small hit-and-run attacks, the small band of revolutionaries find themselves gaining a small but growing following. They quickly begin to train small numbers of revolutionaries. They convince the local police to let their leader Surya Sen go free. After much secret discussions - they agree. It quickly begins to be arranged to send him by train to Bombay or perhaps a larger city where he can gain a greater audience. Before he leaves, he promises to his followers that he will return and he makes them promise that they will go on with the uprising. They agree to do so and the stage is set for the explosion of the Chittagong Uprising into something dangerously bigger. Other less important stuff like industrialisation happens too.
 * You already got home rule. I recommend a re-post. Also, there are no British authorities cos right now all we handle for you is the foreign affairs; the rest is up to the Parliament of India, established in turn One.
 * Britain continues modernizing the air force. By now the projects are coming out much faster; a new Tornado, the tougher sister of the Tempest ground attack fighter, comes out. The nation is still in mourning after the tragic death of Prince Edward last semester; the former Duke of York is now made the Prince of Wales, and announces that he will take the name George on the throne instead of Albert, in honour of his long dead grandfather. The events in India widely shock Parliament, and Churchill gives a speech saying that "If the Indians cannot rule their own private affairs, why do they demand independence?" The vents in Finland are widely condemned in Britain, and with the recent change in power in Germany, many hope for a more moderate, democratic government there as a buffer against Soviet expansionism.
 * Greece: After the alliance with Germany, Greece states that in case of war our aid will be given to Germany only if they are the defendant of the war or if they are unjustly attacked, as we expect the Germans would do in case we were attacked, in the given case this occur we will join the German side, otherwise we will remain out of any conflict, In other news the military and navy are built up as always, and the invasion of Albania made by the Yugoslavs seems out of place. However, it is not seen as a major threat or problem between the Greek and Yugoslav government. For now, the Greeks open diplomacy with the Soviets.
 * Yugoslav D: So do you accept our deal? We plan another invasion in 1937 (since apparently we only got 2% victory)
 * Implausible. WTF are you invading them for, anyway?
 * In no way is what I said implausible. It is absolutely possible for two nations to go to war after a war shortly after another. Also, to help my nation gain more power and influence·
 * Not at all. Firstly, that little war of yours isn't even over yet. Lasts two turns? Ends next turn. Secondly, it will have cost you a lot of resources. You invade again, you'll lose - thanks to a big recent wars penalty that will get slapped on your ass. Next, it helps you gain a little bit on a map. You gain negligible power. And no influence; just piss off other nations. What fucking power do you get? You think the US invades Mexico every other effing week? No. Why not? Because more land doesn't make you more powerful anymore. Get off yourself.
 * Goddamn you make a shitty mod
 * Netherlands: All operations continue.

1934.5
''' Despite the British giving India home rule, a minority there still asks for full independence, though most of the mainstream accept it for now. '''

''' Europe begins to be tied up in alliances between the many nations. It is clear that war will emerge; just not who will support whom. '''

''' After the death of Hitler and the rise of the moderates, many nations consider altering their fears of Germany. '''

''' A small minority in Germany still claim, however, that it was a blue British Telephone box, and a flying one, that offed Hitler. These are mainly dismissed as conspiracy theorists and loonies. '''

''' With Mao dead, the force of Chiang-Kai pushes forward swiftly, quickly capturing Communist forces. The war is almost over - unless the Russians or Japanese step in ... '''

''' More later, possibly. LOL '''


 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist Temples are built.
 * Liechtenstein: Even though Hitler has died, the citizens are still afraid of an invasion from nearby countries. We also want to increase our economy. So we ask if any state wants to trade with us or ally with us. We expand our army to two officers, each with a group of five men, 12 men in total. We ask if anyone will sell us 15 guns and an army truck for our troops.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We donate 40 Schmidt-Rubin rifles, and two trucks. We send officers over to help train the military.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to our brothers request, and donate two Häfeli DH-5 Reconnaissance airplanes. We announce to the world that an attack on Liechtenstein will be considered an attack on Switzerland.
 * Brazil: Brazil continues building the Dom Pedro battleship and commissions another one, the Battleship Esperanza. Along with this a Second Carrier is scheduled to be built as well. Brazil also continues to manufacture weaponry and supplies for Germany building everything from Rifles, to Ship parts. Along side of this the Brazilians begin to turn some of this manufacturing for themselves building up more weaponry for their own armies usage working to develop their own rifles as well. The Brazilian armed forces also begin another rapid expansion to about 650,000. The Economy continues to push on the Rise with more gold bullion being purchased. Brazil then takes larger strides in fast paces and aggressive industrialization managing to keep pace with some of the German orders. Oil Shale development continues with the infrastructure and refineries being put in place. The measures taken in work corps are expanded to help out the very bad off road and train systems. This is done to help facilitate large growth and prevent mass economic issues from lack of infrastructure. Oil companies in Brazil continues to Buy Venezuelans oil stock whenever they can. Influence on Venezuela continues.
 * Switzerland: The military begins to modernize, to ensure border security. The government appeals to host a peace conference in Geneva at the LoN headquarters to ensure that another world war does not occur. Another statement releases affirmed Swiss neutrality. The government continues to fund the expansion of the National Redoubt. The military has heavy fortification already in place with additional support and artillery prepared.


 * Liechtenstein: We thank the Swiss and ask them for a peace treaty. Our president makes a speech thanking the Swiss. We ask them if they can give us one or two of their outdated fighter planes since they are already replacing them.
 * Switzerland does not simply start getting involved in world affairs.
 * The Swiss were already getting involved in an attempt to remain neutral. That is all I am doing. The nation of Liechtenstein was already friendly wit Switzerland. All I am doing is helping defend him. He is neutral. I am neutral. If that changes, things will change. I am not signing alliances, I am remaining neutral in any conflict to prevent a WWII like event from occurring. I am changing my events. Daeseunglim (talk) 18:51, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Germany: President Bormann, outraged at the minority that claims Hitler was killed by a Telephone box, orders the Gestapo to arrest all who believe such a lie and send them off to prison or execution. While Speer disagrees, he does little to prevent such an action. Speer and Bormann gain the support of Goering by expanding the Gestapo from just the secret police of Prussia to the secret police of all of Germany. Industry continues to develop in the Rhineland, Bavaria, and Silesia. Krupp begins to manufacture the first Panzer I tanks, and by the end of the turn the army has a total of twenty complete. Production of Kar98k carbines, Mauser C96 pistols, and MP18 submachine guns begins in homeland territory in order to give the army more firepower should the Soviets invade central Europe. Companies such as Bergmann Waffenfabrik, Mauser, and Krupp begin to receive subsidies to increase production and employment. Research into Messerschmitt Bf 109, Heinkel He 111, Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, and Dornier Do 17 airplanes begins, and some production also occurs. Several destroyers begin construction and designated as Type 1934. The government also tasks various companies to increase the nation's air and naval power. The SS is rebranded as the personal bodyguards of both the President and Chancellor, while the Brownshirts are rebranded to be the national militia, similar to the National Guard of the United States. Speer does his best to protect minorities from government persecution, and Jewish persecution is decreased but still a relevant force in Germany. Communists are still doomed due to both the Reichstag fire and Hitler's assassination, and as such either flee or are arrested/executed. Diplomatic overtures with other nations are made, and embassies are either established or refurbished in neighboring countries.
 * Switzerland: We request to purchase 24 mono wing fighter planes and 12 seaplane scout planes.
 * France calms a little when they see that the radical Nazi leader has been killed, but they remain on guard. The country continues programs to jump start the economy again.
 * China: The last of the rebels are flushed out, and we focus on improving infrastructure and the Army. The population begins to rise as a result of the fall of the Rebels, as less people are dying.
 * Japanese action: Japanese agents continue to make links with the opposition to Chiang's rule and with Japanese backing the Reform for Democracy Front is created lead by Wang Jingwei an outspoken leader of thee opposition. The group officially supports a move towards true democracy in China and an end to military rule along with demilitarization of China to move towards the pan-Asian ideal. (I'm trying out this to see if it works. It's basically like a terrorist group but instead a social movement aimed at debilitating a regime either through denouncing them and gaining support or through making the government lose legitimacy if it moves against the group)
 * China: As a response to the Japanese, we have an election. We do not rig the election, just have soldiers standing, obtrusively, in front of the other candidates ballot boxes, with Notepads, and Pens, writing all the voters down. After a few 'accidents', no one votes against Chiang.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: the government of Japan openly calls the elections a hoax and request that Chiang step down and allow a democratic leader to step up. Secretly supplies are sent to anti-Chiang groups.
 * Portugal: Salazar, seeking to add further legitimacy to his nation, creates a series of constitutional amendments to the Constitution of 1933, which would restore the monarchy. Duarte Nuno is declared the king of Portugal in massive celebrations that take place in Lisbon. The extreme popularity of Salazar passes on to the new monarch, King Duarte II. The popularity of the Estado Novo continues as the vestiges of the Great Depression are entirely eliminated, and the economy starts functioning at a high level. A large population boom begins, with families focusing on having up to six children, as the old Roman-Catholic doctrine taught. PIDE begins working in Spain, secretly, and start to promote anti-Republican and pro-Fascist ideals. Franco and Falange officers secretly travel to Portugal, where we equip them militarily and begin training exercizes, intended to simulate combat near Barcelona and Valencia, republican strongholds.
 * Hungary: The government is overthrown in a planned coup, the Communist headquarters is stormed as well, reducing the organization of the Hungarian Communist, a nationalist dictatorship takes the country and most of the military support the new power. A purge against the soldiers and the officer of the army who are loyal to the old regime begun, another hit the Communists. We offer an alliance to Greece and Austria.
 * There were no Communists in government. The original government was fairly nationalist as well. Please explain what is going on.
 * The USSR continues to build up military and industry. The Second Five Year plan is still in effect. Aid is sent to Communists in Hungary and especially in China, via Mongolia. The militarization of the western border continues, but Vyacheslav Molotov is sent to meet with Albert Speer in order to convince him to stop the persecution of Communists. The USSR also looks into new tanks and airplanes, as well other new weapons.
 * United States: The Hoover Dam is nearing its final stages of construction; the Golden Gate Bridge also continues construction with the owners estimating it would be done by 1936. President Roosevelt's New Deal continues to pull the country out of the Great Depression, but the US still has a long way to go. The Department of Transportation announces the beginning of picking cities and towns for the Trans-Continental Roadway System to pass through upon reaching the Atlantic Ocean (Pacific Ocean in the case of the eastern states). In the Philippines, the military garrison is expanded, while propaganda is passed out across the island-chains, telling them that becoming an official part of the United States is best, citing that the economy and infrastructure will improve. Meanwhile, the Corps of Engineers begins construction on a series of roads and rails to show the Filipinos that life is better and more prosperous. Meanwhile, the aircraft carriers being constructed at Newport News are joined by the laying down of three destroyers. Meanwhile, the Pacific Fleet acquires more vessels from the Atlantic Fleet, which are then evenly divided between Pearl Harbor, San Diego and Manila. The USS Arizona is redirected back to San Diego, while the USS Oklahoma takes its place in Manila. (Arizona will be alive for the war - if there is one). The USAAC continues to design a new type of aircraft that is capable of rivaling the planes of Britain (friendly rivalry) and the planes of Germany and Japan. Meanwhile, the US Army begins looking for a new type of tank to assist its troops in military operations.
 * Japanese diplomacy: The Empire of Japan demands that the naval forces in the Philippines be diminished as what the U.S.A. is doing is a direct violation of the Washington naval agreement (look it up) and the treaty of London which prohibits the British or Americans from expanding their military in the Pacific beyond Singapore and Hawaii. To counter this the Japanese begin direct naval units to Taihoku (Taipei) and to the South Pacific Mandate.
 * American Diplomacy: We will limit the amount of American forces in the Pacific, on the condition that Japan does not attack any part of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, including the Philippines, Wake Island and Midway Island. (I'm trying to make things interesting in the Pacific).
 * Jap Diplomacy: (Oh, I know but I can't have things interesting because if they get interesting right now I'm back to where OTL Japan is. So I'm trying to avoid that.) Japan agrees and offers a non-aggression pact and requests free economic access to the Philippines:
 * American Diplomacy: (if the mods will let me) We agree to both.
 * Japan: Japanese industrial expansion continues throughout the home islands and the colonies. Taihoku and the rest of Formosa (Taiwan) continues to be prepared for formal incorporation into the home islands, with the island being partitioned into six prefectures and incorporated into the address system.  The military control over civil government continues to solidify as the Navy takes the forefront overshadowing the army, however the moderates within the military maintain control over the rest and begin developing military plans aimed at securing Japanese interests with minimal risks or conflict with the west. Economic expansion into South East Asia continues spearheaded by Japanese businessmen who have access to the extensive resources of the region thanks to free trade agreements with the west, deals between these Japanese individuals, colonial authorities and natives of importance help foster mutual trust between the Japanese and local leaders in the hopes of heelping one another with increased Japanese investment in the region and a greater flow of resources from the south to the Japanese homeland. Efforts by the Japanese military and government to gain influence in China continues as local agents continue to undermine the authority of Chiang through third parties with influence within the Chinese opposition.  All research is continued. Naval Expansion continues with the first aircraft carrier nearing completion and it is widely believed it will be ready by 1936 along with the other three aircraft carriers. The first subs are completed and more are put on the production line. A prototype semi-automatic rifle is created and testing begins with mixed results and it is decided that some adjustments will be made before it is put on the production line for mass distribution. Military reforms aimed at increasing obedience and tactics begins and military thinkers begin stepping away from the old spirit orient mentality. resettling of Japanese to Korea and Manchukuo continue.
 * Manchukuo: The empire of Manchukuo continues to industrial and modernize under the guidance of the Japanese advisors and the Kempeitai who keep the nation's politics in line with Japanese interests. Exploitation of Manchuria's vast resources begins as private investment by Japanese business expands greatly. The total population of Japanese living in Manchukuo is estimated at something like 300,000 farmers and 150,000 Japanese troops. (These numbers are very similar to OTL with the Japanese population in Manchuria being at around 500,000 immigrants by the end of 1939). Secret research into chemical and Biological weapons near harbin begin on animals. Heavy pro-Japanese propaganda and pan-Asian propaganda continue under the local administration. Meanwhile, all Communists organizations in Manchukuo are declared illegal and the Kempeitai crack down hard on leftist groups and parties along with the Manchu imperial army and police, evicting as many as they can into China to cause trouble for the Chinese government. Standardization of the Japanese and Manchu rifles is started to make all weapons of the same design to facilitate resupplying.
 * Vatican: Continues placing more guards in its locations in Rome and Rio de Janeiro.
 * You don't have a location in Rio.
 * Greece: The military and navy are built up, and Greece like previously said remains neutral on any Balkan conflict that doesn't involve an attack on Greece or a plausible threat to it. In other news, it ask British or French help to buy a colony in North Africa and be administered by them until Greece is prepared to take over their control. (Mainly to grow the Greek populations outside Europe). While this, the reaffirmation of the neutrality in any conflict between Germans, French and British continues.
 * Netherlands: Communism together with socialism is on the rise but it is still real slow. With the recent military build-up we upgrade our score by 0.25. Tensions lower between us and Germany and we ask for a trade agreement.

 * Japan: The Japanese continue to fund anti-Chiang groups and the border between Manchukuo and China becomes increasingly militarized. However, the military adopts a defence only strategy for the time to make sure that it doesnt loss face across the globe. secretly through third parties the military begins supporting the remnants of the Chinese Communists and suppressed warlords throughout China to help destabilize China, and to further discredit Chiang's rule over China while in public Wang Jingwei continues to promote true democratic reforms with the backing of Japan who promise to support the cause of peace and co-operation between China and Japan. Industrialization of the Empire continues to expand with Heavy Industry reaching large levels unseen in previous years. New airplanes are finally designed and production of the new model begins while more designs are made for future necesity. The high command continues to push forward the adoption of modern tactics while still promoting the cause to fight till the death for the empire. The Arisaka model 35 is designed as a semi-automatic rifle (with a mechanism similar to the Gewher 43 OTL) to eventually replace the old Arisaka Bolt action rifle, also designs for a submachine gun are put through for testing. The navay continues to expand as subs come off the production line and the first in a series of new battle cruisers is finished. The new aircraft carriers continue being built. The development of Formosa and Korea continue and assimilation continues to be the policy towards the locals. However, the colonial administrations are urged to be less brutal and a lot more systematic with acomodating policies. Anti-Japanese and antiImperial propaganda continues to be suppressed with large success as the Imperial rule comes hand in hand with tangible progress and with the full backing of the Imperial military. Settlement of the colonies and Manchukuo continues.
 * Manchukuo: Emperor Puyi goes on a formal visit to Japan to meet with Emperor Hirohito and with the Imperial Diet undr the premise of increasing active bilateral relations between the allies and to promote Manchu friendliness towards the Empire of Japan. Greater power is delegated to the Manchu officials though the Japanese advisors retain large amountss of power and ultimately hold the right to veto or push forward any policies they see necessary. The Manchukuo Yuan is formally established as the Manchurian currency and is backed by the Imperial Yen and by the exploitation of resources in Manchuria. A formal Manchu citizenship is established and the government requests international recognition as a sovereign state. All Japanese are granted the right to live with special rights and are subject only to the Japanese embassy or ministers within the Empire of Manchukuo, all Han and Koreans living within the borders at the moment are granted citizenship while those who move after the act must gain citizenship after eight years residency. Heavy industry continues to grow in Harbin and Mukden fed by the raw materials exploited from the countryside. An emphasis on Manchu culture is started to separate Manchu roots from that of China, and to help cement nationalism within the Empire and anti-Chinese sentiments. Trade opens up thanks to the efforts of Japanese treaties with the west allowing much more flow of income thrugh trade. Crown Prince Pujie and Lady Saga Hiro have their first child a boy who helps cement Pujie's `position as crown prince.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Liechtenstein: We declare that we will be neutral for the next ten years unless we get attacked. We give a speech thanking the Swiss and we decide to increase our army to 25 men, and three officers. We also build a tiny factory to increase our of sausage casings and fake teeth.
 * Greece: We continues asking French and British to allow a small colonial settlement in North Africa under their administration to be given to Greece, as well as economic help, military and navy are built up and neutrality is declared to most of the Balkan nations excepting Albania and Turkey.
 * Brazil: The Brazilian government manages to complete one of its year long infrastructural projects connecting some of Brazil's larger cities together and stimulating a large economic growth preventing the need to continue to deficit spend on those areas of the economy. With more infrastructure completed the City of Manaus in the state of the Amazonas begins to expand exponentially beginning a population influx to a moderate degree with some of the new jobs opening in northern and central Brazil. The resource extraction -  as well as working with the rain forest and building up new central farmland - is hurried at a breakneck pace as its industrialization of the South. Some minor industrialization occurs along the Amazon river as well. Brazilian military complex is expanded as well with large scale designs for new ships beginning to flood the Brazilian defence industry. A new repeating rifle begins to be developed as well as some machine guns deriving them from acquired designs from Germany. More parts are shipped back to Germany. The Brazilian resource and industry now booming from investments from various nations, most notably Germany, and Japan, helps spur on national development with new businesses opening up everywhere. The government also begins printing out simple charts which show Brazil's heavily recovering economy. Oil investors purchase majority stock in a few Venezuelan oil companies. Lobbyists are used to begin throwing Brazilian influence into the Venezuelan government. The Brazilian navy continues expansion commisioning almost five new destroyers and another cruiser beginning their trial runs with more ships being laid down to expand the navy. The Armed forces conduct major drills in central Brazil and along the coast beginning to train quality troops. Brazil finds volunteers who begin joining an intelligence service, as well as a special forces service. Building of the battleship continues and the carrier is completed. Brazil sets up its first radar post in Southern Brazil near Rio de Janeiro.
 * Dominion of India: Many continue to advocate for full freedom from the British Empire. Major cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Bangalore are all hit in this wave of protesting - causing problems for the British authority. Surya Sen begins to organise small groups of volunteers who feel that Congress should pursue full independence from the British government. He quickly begins to train these groups in political speaking as well as telling them to establish contacts. This will allow him to gain greater influence so he can build a power base. Jinnah begins to grow in influence, too, after seeing how the British have not created a state for Muslims. He quickly begins to preach the fact that the Muslims need a homeland for themselves away from the Hindus who rule over them with blatant disregard for them. Many agree and he begins to talk to the Maxim of Hyderabad as well as various other leaders. Other less important stuff like industrialisation happens, too, with more railroads beginning to be constructed so that transportation of goods is made easier. Industrialists like Tata soon begin to construct more factories for the people as well as to produce greater goods. He begins to make coal mines and textile mills as well as power plants.
 * THERE IS NO BRITISH AUTHORITY. The laws may be ours, but the enforcement is entirely Indian.
 * Germany: The re-integration of the Saar territory is met with pride and happiness amongst the German population and government. Industry as well as military garrisons return to the province in order to make the integration complete. Production and research of war materials continues. Industry continues to gain strength in Bavaria, Silesia, the Rhineland, and now Saar as well. Extra troops are stationed on the eastern border and fortifications are constructed as well. Albert Speer meets with the Soviet diplomats but is unfortunately unable to stop the persecution of Communists, citing Bormann's and the German people's demands. He does offer to deport as many of them as he can to the Soviet Union instead. Bormann meets with Salazar of Portugal, and the two discuss politics and changing trends in Europe. The meeting leaves an impression on Bormann, one that is more conservative and less reactionary in nature. Individual Freikorps are established in each individual state to enforce the rule of law and better protect the state and its people. The trade agreement with the Netherlands is agreed upon.
 * The USSR is willing to accept all German Communists.
 * Switzerland is willing to accept a quota of all minority groups from Germany that are being persecuted.
 * German Diplomacy: German authorities acting under the command of Speer begin moving small populations of Communists to the Soviet Union. No one is to be moved to Switzerland.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Switzerland: The government announces that they are opening their borders to refugees from Germany who are being persecuted. The Lakes Flotilla considers constructing eight float planes to support the ships. Ten more patrol boats are acquired to provide coverage on the lakes. The reconstruction of the National Redoubt continues.


 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.


 * Argentina: We begin to commission a few destroyers for our navy and we commence to build a long series of infrastructural projects and follow a similar American-style way out of the Depression called Los Actos de el Nuevo Trato Argentino. We decide to commence a military buildup along the Brazilian border and begin mass producing weapons and begin researching new technologies and we are willing to accept persecuted German people. We widely condemn both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union for their genocide of countless innocent lives. El Partido Fascista de Argentina and El Partido Socialista Democrata de Argentina are beginning to rise in terms of influence and popularity around the nation.
 * Argentina was absolutely screwed economically. You can't fix that in six months ... could I get a mod, please?
 * Portugal sends political advisers to Argentina to support El Partido Fascista.
 * Brazilian D: We notice this troop buildup, and as the strongest nation in South America, we ask why you are doing a troop buildup along the border with the only recovering nation on the continent. In Response we put nearly 300,000 troops on the border with Argentina.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Brazil D: We recognize Manchukuo.
 * Portugal: Salazar's popular, Fascist, government continues embracing traditional Portuguese values, especially Roman Catholicism. Work begins on a brand new Portuguese navy, and propaganda is created, harkening back to when Portugal was the world's naval power. Three new battleships and an aircraft carrier are designed. The jobs created by the new navy spur the economy onwards, and many people flock to urban centers along the coast. Duarte II is really popular, and many think monarchism and Fascism are a great combination. PIDe begins to operate with Franco's Falange in Spain in order to discover any potential weaknesses of the nation, which is republican. The army grows in power. We work with Italy and Germany. We also begin construction of a modern air force, with 15 bombers and 30 fighter planes being planned for.
 * The British warn that any active military or political interference in Spain by Portugal will be regarded as a violation of our agreements with Portugal. We would prefer not to go to war with our long-time allies, but if they support our enemies, then they are our enemies.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Britain continues with its development of the air force. By now almost 75% of the RAF has been replaced with newer, more modern planes. A new Corsair comes out, this time a single engined, sturdy ship-killer. We deeply resent the actions of Portugal and warn that if this behaviour continues war must surely follow. The economy is improved with a new plan that uses private factories to build governemnt planes - within restrictions, of course. The navy, too, is replaced, and the HMS Hood undergoes an overhaul, replacing its obsolete deck armor with a much stronger, thicker one.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * United States: The Hoover Dam is finished in Nevada, while construction on the Golden Gate Bridge continues on schedule. In response to the beginning of the Dust Bowl, President Roosevelt hopes that the nation can get through this disaster and get a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, the military presence in the Philippines is diminished, but a small garrison is maintained as station for the US Army Corps of Engineers as they continue to construct roads, bridges and railroads. Propaganda is passed out to continue to persuade the population that joining the United States is best for the future of the island chain, their childen and grandchildren. Meanwhile, research on the new fighter to rival Britain begins, hoping to have a prototype by 1937. The same with the United States Army and Marine Corps, as they research a tank that is both fast and mobile, but also has firepower and crew protection. The first of the aircraft carriers is finished, while construction on the other carrier and other ships at Newport News continues. The USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma is transferred to the Panama Canal. President Roosevelt is concerned about recent developments in South America and Europe. Research on all modern technology continues, particularly radar, as this could prevent attacks on both warships and the mainland United States.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Italy: A new Economic program begins in Italy. Jobs are to be created by the modernization of the Italian military, a feat which will take much industrial power. Specifically, production focuses on creating larger and better naval and air forces. An aircraft carrier is also being designed, and is expected to be built by 1937.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * France again becomes hostile at the seizure of the Saar territory. The military is amped up and wartime production begins, as France begins to re-arm itself for what it feels is an inevitable conflict.
 * I point out that this was an OTL event, and France didn't really care or react.
 * It matters not. France was worried. Cour hasn't actually DONE anything yet.
 * That's the point. France OTL appeased Germany. In ATL it's getting mad. Change in ideology. Don't worry, I have plans *evil laugh* ~Cour
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Spain: The military increases as trouble continues to brew. The nation continues to grow closer to Nazi Germany.
 * Jap/Manchu Dip: The governments of both Japan and Manchukuo request official recognition of the State of Manchukuo.
 * Ethiopia: Industrialization continues under the Imperial government, aided by the flow of Imperial funds into the industrial park outside of the capital city. The litery program has been credited with bringing education to more than half of the population, and the increase of reading and writing skills have now come to prove their worth as Ethiopians apply for jobs requiring high-end education. With an increase in education, the ability of the government to invest in Western industries at home can now commence. The Imperial Army continues to expand with modern equipment and technology, and the import of new tanks allows the military to form a new mechanized division within the organization of its forces. Work on building an air force begins, and the move to import additional airplanes and tanks by the government continues.
 * The USSR builds up military and economy. Industry is expanded. The Second Five Year Plan continues. Communists arrive from Germany and are sent to Russification programs where they learn Russian. This is mostly easy since they are willing to serve in a Communist country. Militarization on the western border continues. The Soviets begin to put pressure on the Baltic states, threatening them by using Germany as a threat to them.

 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built. Thailand officially recognises Manchukuo.
 * Hungary: The Hungarian economy quickly improve itself after that the government take more power within the gestion of the industry, effectively ending all unemployement in Hungary, the rest who could not find a job were draft in the military or in the infrastructure modernization. We start to support nationalism in the Hungarian majority area of Europe except in Austria. The modernization of the army continue and we ask for an alliance with Austria and Greece.
 * Austrian Diplomacy: Austria accepts Hungary's alliance offer. We offer a trade deal.
 * Brazil: With Brazil's first fleet carrier "Infame" complete the Brazilian navy begins searching for an aircraft to serve as its major naval aerial presence. The design of the A5M from Japan is considered and research is done, with first prototypes to be completed in the next six months to be considered for carrier aircraft, other designs are also considered such as American general aircraft parts in order to construct their own fleet of naval aircraft. Along with this, the program is expanded to include aircraft for the air force and a force being pushed up to develop new aircraft continues. Research into a tank begins as well, designed to be a medium tank with mobility and firepower together. The Brazilian economy continues to jump as large oil shale deposits are now exploited and some of the oil from Venezuela starts to flood in as well. The Brazilian Military continues to press its mobilization on the Argentinian border digging in and throwing up defenses. Brazil once again asks why Argentina is mobilized along the southern border. The Brazilian resources industry continues to advance now exporting Steel, Iron, and other resources to a moderate degree but using much if it itself to stimulate the economy with jobs created by infrastructural growth and the jobs stemming from the fact new infrastructure is leadign to the establishment of new businesses. Most notably the Brazilian arms industries begin to take over with prototypes for the first semi-automatic Brazilian rifle coming off the development lines and into testing. Along with this Brazil takes some of the machine guns from other nations (some acquired illegally) and begins creating their own variants in an attempt to find a new Heavy Machine for the army. Brazilian armed forces begin a parade in Rio de Janeiro. The Navy officially launches five more destroyers, another cruiser, and the Battleship Dom Pedro is nearly done. The Brazilian Naval complexes are expanded heavily. Manuel Vargas now seeing improvements in the country also begins to allow for a more democratic process to incur seeing that many other nations with this type of government allow for a democratic process. Corporate influence on the Venezuelan government continues. Stock in more Venezuelan oil companies are expanded, and the first Brazilian owned oil rigs start to be constructed in the country. Infrastructure throughout the country continues to expand heavily with Rio Blanco and Cuiba now being included in the new highway system. With this jobs begin flooding into the area with heavy resource areas being exploited for the benefit of the Brazilian economy. With this as well, the infrastructure in the northern part of the country expands as well being the prime focus of the mass infrastructural projects. Alongside this, the coastal infrastructure while not expanded, is updated alongside the rest of the infrastructure. The Industial and military complexes of the country are also continually expanded With the Navy taking precedence in equipment and modernizing. This is especially done with the new designs for frigates and Destroyers with these classes being produced in greater numbers. Alongside the laying down of nearly 15 new destroyers and another seven frigates some even in makeshift drydocks, the Brazilian navy designs its own classes for nearly every kind of ship there is attempting to be recognized as a world class power.
 * ​Brazil Dip: We tell the United States to not worry about the situation in South America as it will not flood or spill over and cause collateral damage to any American interests if it can be helped.
 * Quick thing, Feudal. Rio was the capital of Brazil still. Brasilia wasn't contructed until the 50's Nkbeeching (talk) 17:05, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Argentina: Los Actos Del Nuevo Trato Argentino continue to help sustain the economy and we begin building a massive defense perimeter around the Brazilian border. We begin a massive modernization of our military and begin to design our own craft. El Partido Fascista and El Partido Socialista Democrata continue to gain influence. The seeds of a revolution are being planted. We state our military buildup is for the reason of defenses only against an attack from Brazil.
 * How do you have the economy or industry to pull this off you have spent a grand total of six months repairing your economy considering you have gotten zero investment from foreign nations I don't get how you're planning on this being plausible. -Feud
 * Well, I need foreign investment, OK. I am waiting. Ratc3333 Here, Prepare for Combat (talk) 13:07, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Then play and act like you don't have any ... you can't just say you have stuff or are able to do things when Argentina was one of the worst hit nations by the depression. -Feud
 * Liechtenstein: Thanks the Swiss again, and we give them a gift and our ruler invites theirs to come for a celebration of the first act of friendliness between us two neutral countries in Europe. We declare that we will be fully neutral for the next five years, unless attacked, which we will defend ourselves against the invading state, and we are capable of doing so with our 25 trained troops and three officers!
 * Switzerland thanks Liechenstien for the kind show of friendship and co-operation.
 * Switzerland: The government orders 24 fast interceptor planes to be built, armed with two 20 mm cannons, two 50 caliber machine guns, and a payload of up to 2000 lbs of bombs. The designs are started, with the first aircraft to be built by 1939. The army looks into newer model tanks to replace the Renulat FT tanks. Reconstruction of the Swiss National Redoubt is almost completed, with additional artillery pieces to be acquired in order to better fortify. The government requests that a meeting of the LoN is held next year to discuss global issues.
 * Switzerland puts out a bid for companies to provide blueprints and a prototype for a quick interceptor aircraft.
 * Japan: the imperial government continues to support the develpment of anti-Chiang groupsi in China with the largest recipints being the Democracy movement lead by wang Jingwei and the diverse warlords who remained against Ching's rule. Japan once more publicly demands that Ching step down and hand power over to a civil government. Industrial development across the the colonies and home islands continues with a steady ppace as more resources come in from South erast Asiia and from Brazil. The Government passes the Public Safety and Security Act granting vast freedoms to the military and police forces to protect the state against all deemed anti Japanese influences and are granted extensive official power within government policies with the hopes of maintaining order on all levels of the state. Naval expansion of the navy continues and the new ships near completion while new destroyers and battle cruisers come off the line. Using the growing economic influence in South East Asia the government makes connections through Japanese businessmen with individuals in the region to promote greater co-operation between Japanese and the locals. Military training continues to change to make sure military performance remains at its height. Research continues with strong leads in medicine and biological weaponary being made.
 * Manchukuo: to reflect the political adjustments in Japan the Manchurian government passes the Law of Order and Peace which grants large power to the Manchu military and to the Kwantang Army (the Japanese army based in Manchuria during the period). Economic development continues and the Manchu steel industry continues to grow and exploration in areas of the empire begin to see if they can find oil.
 * In the Interests of peace in the Pacific, Britain reluctantly agrees to recognize Manchukuo if Japan agrees not to Invade the rest of China.
 * Austria: The Rezzurrection Party continues to grow stronger with support. It now has the backing of 67% of the population, and the son of the last Austrian Emperor is offically given control of the party. His name is Otto von Habsburg. In his acceptance speach, Otto decalres that he doesnt want to engage in any foreign wars accept in self defense, or in the case of premptive strike. He also states that Austria will have no territorial designs on Yugoslavia, and he hopes that relations can heal between Yugoslavia and Austria. The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We continue to influence Czechoslovakia. Otto von Habsburg begins to go around the country encouraging people to his party. Many people, whos fathers had fought in the Great War, and veterans still alive, flock to him, seeing it as a possible way to revive the glory of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, instead of being a small state. We celebrate the signing of allaicne with Hungary.
 * Netherlands: Communists are gaining power, both legally as illegally. More men are trained for the military and two battlecruisers are constructed in Rotterdam and the KNIL (Koniklijke Nederlandse Indische Leger, Army in Indonesia) is also extend.
 * Germany: Germany continues the rampant buildup of its military and its construction of its infrastructure. The current production rate of Germany is reaching new highs due to the remarkable skill of Chancellor Albert Speer. Kar98k carbines, MP18s, and Mauser C96 pistols continue to be made in considerable quantity. Production of the Panzer I continues and there are now several hundred of them in service. Production of the Panzer II begins as well, and designs for the future Panzer III begin to be drafted at Krupp. Several more frigates and destroyers are laid down. Aircraft designs continue to be tested and produced. Increased garrisons are placed on all borders of Germany except for Denmark, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. Fortifications are contructed on most borders. Monarchism slowly begins to increase in the southern Catholic regions of the nation, largely due to the bleeding effect of Austria and Portugal, as well as reactionary elements reacting to the attacks of the Communists. This influence is most felt in Bavaria, which is not the Nazi stronghold that it once was. The German government declares that it recognizes the state of Manchukuo, but to be difficult it will be refered to as Manchuria instead. A Manchurian embassy is constructed in Berlin.
 * United States: Reconstruction aid is sent to Florida to help rebuild the area that was damaged by the hurricane. President Roosevelt condemns the assassination of an American politican. Work on Hoover Dam continues, as does construction on the Golden Gate Bridge. Infrastructure improvement in the Philippines continue, as does passing out propaganda. Meanwhile, President Roosevelt plans to turn Hawaii and Alaska into states by the end of his presidency. All development and research from the last turn continues, with the USAAF hoping to have the new fighter plane done by 1936.5. The USAAF also begins to work on the development of a new bomber with a greater range and larger payload. The US Army continues to develop the prototype of the tank that could go fast, have great armor and most importantly, protect its crew. The Army also begins researching into a rifle that could fire multiple shots. The Navy begins to research into radar for its ships, which the Secretary of the Navy hopes could prevent suprise attacks on American warships. The second aircraft carrier is launched, while construction on the remaining destroyers and submarines continue. In order to maintain peace in the Pacific, Congress votes with a slim majority to recongize Manchukuo as an sovereign nation. A Manchurian Embassy in Washington, while Roosevelt asks to build an American embassy in the capital city of Manchukuo.
 * Italy: The Italian government decides to recognize the state of Manchukuo. The new econmic program is showing promise, as unemployment steadily begins to drop as massive amounts of military hardware are created. New scientists are hired to design more innovative designs for tanks, aircraft and ships. Most of the research goes into a new tank design. the majority of the production over the past year has gone into the construction of aircraft, but a few medium vessels and several smaller vessels for the navy are under construction. The Italians begin moving their military into the Ogaden region of Ethiopia. They claim this is a legitimate part of the Italian Empire, due to the fact that the original treaty signed during the reign Zewditu I is null and void due to her death in 1928. Also, they increase the garrison at Fort Walwal. (an Italian fort, though well within the boundary; the fact that it was built and maintained is also cited by the Italians as a reason the the area is de jure Italian). Officially, the military maneuvers are simply to "re-inforce the garrison currently stationed in the area," and they are not given orders to attack Ethiopian troops.  A diplomat is sent to further negotiate the terms of a new treaty with the Ethiopians, and ensure that any claims the Ethiopians may have to this area is peacefully ceeded.
 * The USSR expands military and economy. Militarization of the border continues and Second Five Plan is still ongoing.
 * Ethiopia: The Imperial government of Ethiopia makes it clear that the Ogaden is sovereign Ethiopian territory, and that it will never cede any land to any European government, friendly or otherwise. The military is mobilized for combat, and Imperial troops are moved to the front to counter any hostile Italian troops they may find in the region. The government states that Zewditu I was a member of the Solomic dynasty, and any treaties signed by her are passed down to the next monarch of the royal house. The treaty remains in force, and Ethiopia will fight it it must to preserve its sovereignity. The construction of war materiale continues, and the importation of warplanes and tanks continues with the Emperor's blessing. Tens of thousands of Ethiopian men swarm to their garrison centers on the orders of their tribal leaders and local officials, and prepare themselves for a potential conflict. An appeal to the United Kingdom, United States, the Soviet Union and Japan are made, in the event Italy seeks to turn to arms to enforce it claim against Ethiopia.
 * Britain develops a new Spitfire and another Hurricane, as well as the first Lancaster heavy bomber. The economy is expanded. The actions of Italy are heavily condemned.
 * Dominion of India: Many continue to advocate for full freedom from the British Empire. Major cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Bangalore are all hit in this wave of protesting - causing problems for Congress, who have under the advice of Gandhi have agreed on home rule currently. Surya Sen continues his endeavours in establishing a roots movement which will hopefully be able to grow in power. His cells soon infiltrate the government and begin to swing things in a different and more aggressive direction. Taking the train to Chittagong, he returns to the town and is met with rejoicing crowds. Surya Sen has returned and he personally leads the bid to hostage all policemen in the region. He is successful and surprisingly quick and with the task and using the materials gained due to the fact that the armoury now belongs to him, he equips the troops preparing to fight. Jinnah continues to grow in influence and people begin to gather on the streets to listen to him preach about his ideas and desires. Gandhi realises that he should try to incorporate Jinnah into the Indian National Congress. However to many, it seemed like he was supporting Jinnah. On the 10th of December, Mahatma Gandhi is assassinated by Hindu extremists. The hero of the nation is killed and people are completely shocked. Jinnah uses this as cannon fodder and begins to pose off a lot of Hindus. Other less important stuff like industrialisation happens, too, with more railroads beginning to be constructed so that transportation of goods is made easier. Industrialists like Tata soon begin to construct more factories for the people as well as to produce greater goods. He begins to make coal mines and textile mills as well as power plants. The government also asks the British if they could receive some tanks in return for allowing British troops to be stationed in larger numbers in the east to keep the British strategically secure in Asia. They would also like one Spitfire and are willing to pay up, too.

 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Brazil: The Battleship Dom Pedro of the new Dom Pedro Class of battleships is finished with mostly the regular battleship fixing, except it mounts super heavy 16 inch guns with fire control systems that only a few countries could match. The research into aircraft for the air forces use is expanded. The Brazilian navy continues to expand as well adding another carrier to the fleet. The Brazilian military also expands to about 800,000. Seven destroyers two frigates and a cruiser are completed as the Brazilian shipyards up and down the seaboard are expanded. Infrastructure is also heavily expanded continuously with railroads and highways expediting the process of moving natural resources from the interior provinces, to the factories more of which are developing along the Amazon river as well. Research and development finishes the prototypes of two competing naval fighters, two competing fighters for the air force, and also designs for dive bombers, and Torpedo bombers for the Navy are finished. Designs for a long range bomber akin to European designs are also finished. Oil companies in Brazil and Brazilian owned companies in Venezuela begin pushing the South American and Global markets to a degree. Influence over Venezuela continues with the government thanks to lobbyists is becoming much more Pro-Brazil. Brazilian infrastructure throughout the interior while heavily expanded is also heavily planned for future developments as well attempting to prevent the overzealous costs needed in remodeling an entire areas infrastructure vs just upgrading or refitting it. The resource industry in Brazil continues to take off with raw materials, developed metals, and rubber once again flooding the market and openly replacing British goods to a large degree in some places. Brazil Secretly funds a group which is advocating staunch neutrality in Argentina beginning to galvanize the Majority of People against their government.
 * Greece D: We ask for an alliance with Brazil.
 * Swiss D: We invest 100 million Swiss Francs into Brazilian infrastructure. We send over specialists to aid them. We request to purchase 37 million barrels of oil.
 * Brazil D: We thank you for your investment however the amount of oil will need to be delivered periodically.
 * Hungary: The economy is fully restore except in some areas, the quality of the military is improve as more discipline is ask from the soldier. We continue to support rebel Hungarian minority movements in the countries around except Austria with whom we want to increase relations. We start to invest more heavily in the air force and start the development of a plane that could rival much of the main aircraft currently in production. We offer an alliance to Italy.
 * Italy Accepts.
 * Brazil Dip: For your nations which are requiring modern weapons and the materials to help rebuild your nation Brazil offers a trade agreement and requests some intial investment in some of the Amazons many great resources.
 * Hungary D: we are ready to invest in a small area in exchange of some modern weapons.
 * Italy and Hungary are not on good terms after WWI. They attacked each other, and Italy and the Allies caused the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
 * Greece: The nation invests in a small military upgrade as well as in the agricultural economy of the country. While this, some tension grows on north eastern as some civilian Turks seemingly trading with Greeks began a fight between them killing three Greeks and one Turk in the process. The Greek government asks for co-operation of the Turkish government in Thrace, however getting no response yet. While this, the navy is heavily increased in the Aegean Islands and the military is built up. We continue asking the French and the British for a colonial settlement in North Africa allowed to be given to Greece under their administration until we are prepared to do it on our own.
 * Swiss D: Due to our status as a neutral nation, we must decline a military alliance. We thank the Greeks for the kind offer, and propose exchanging embassies.
 * Liechtenstein: We continue to build up our economy and also further train our officers. Our presidents drive one of the army trucks for the first time. We also begin to build ten stun grenades and five regular grenades.
 * um - Leich, you know that your country is a monarchy right? It is headed by a prince and prime minister Nkbeeching (talk) 10:38, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Argentina: Los Actos del Nuevo Trato Argentino continue to pull the country out of the Depression as we begin to wane away from German influence. We open the nation to foreign investors and ask for an alliance with the US. El Partido Fascista and El Partido Socialista Democrata continue to gain influence as more and more people become increasingly discontent with the oppressive policies of the current government, although it is glad to have the government be a little freer on the side of the Socialist Democrats but on the Fascist side, it is becoming concerned with the government's current policies and requests for even more extreme action against "undesirables".
 * I hope you realize you can't just ally with the US like that. Argentina was not very pro US and only joined WW2 in 1945    because literally everyone else did. Also, Argentina was staunchly neutral, stop being so pro U.S. It's impausible as hell and really getting on my nerves. You were also never under German influence to begin with, This is not a huge war of influences right now. Argentina isn't pro-jack all and you're just trying to be as implausibly pro-US as possible. -Feud
 *  Not happening. 
 *  Rat, I'm not even kidding, I am one implausible post away from dropping an asteroid on Argentina. 
 *  Another factor about Argentina is that you are actually making it a democratic nation. The country was borderline chaotic politically. It was either the conservative oligarchs and military in power, or the populists who would eventually be united against the conservatives under pseudo-Fascist Peron. Nkbeeching (talk) 23:04, November 26, 2013 (UTC) 
 * Switzerland: Work on the National Redoubt is almost complete . A new tank is designed and a prototype is approved by the citizens after some redraws are added. The first prototype is due in 1938. The government heavily invests in rail systems and trains due to the terrain. Another ten Oerlikon cannons are built and mounted on truck chassis. The system is called Mobile 50mm gun platform. The government purchases thirty caverns in the Alps and constructs the National Emergency Fuel Depot (NEFD).
 * Greek D: we ask for an alliance with the Swiss nation.
 * Neutrals.
 * Austria: The Rezzurrection Party continues to grow stronger with support. It now has the backing of 81% of the population. The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We continue to influence Czechoslovakia. Otto von Habsburg is elected in a landslide victory in the Presidential elections, and he is sworn in as President of Austria. Upon gaining the thro- I mean presidency, his majority RP controlled legislature votes to give him dictatorial powers, although the legislature may vote to remove them if they feel the need. A constitutional convention is also voted for, and it will take palce next turn. A Hapsburg is President of Austria.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase 20 tanks and 40 artillery pieces as our industry is not retooled yet to construct these.
 * Italy Accepts the alliance.
 * Read response to Hungary above.
 * Japan: the government officially does not take a stand on the Italian-Ethiopian war however unofficial the government promises to acknowlege all annexations as thanks for the recognition of Manchukuo. The military continues to expand its influence in society now with full legal backing and the whole of society enters a period of strong pro-imperial pro-military propaganda centred around Japan's right to a place in the Sun, and the need to secure the future of Japan and Asia, along with the divinity of the Emperor. This is largely successful and undesired influences over society begin to lose momentum, despite this the moderates continue to hold sway over the military and government setting feasible goals up from instead of the dangerious objectives of the extremists within the military. Industry continues to expand and is increasingly orient towards military production as tensions with China continue to rise. More troops are deployed to the continent. The navy continues to expand with the first aircraft carrier the IJN Kurasawa aircraft carrier being the largest aircraft carrier built to date in Japan, the other three are designated to be finished by the end of 1937, more battlecruisers and sub are built along with another destroyer, the navy also begins building of the planned Yamato class battleship aimed at being the largest battleship in the world. The so called China policy is developed in the high command with plans laid out to formally establish a series of puppet regimes in China within the next 15 years through diplomacy if possible and through force if necesary. funds to anti-Chiang Kai shek's rivals continues to grow, and it is organized with former warlords from the Anhui and Zhili cliques to assassinate Chiand in 1937. Meanwhile, the Wang Jingwei presses harder his pro-democracy speeches in Eastern China. Formosa isss formerly added to the home islands with the governer general being replaced by a governor and granting voting rights to those who are of Japanese ethnicity or those who have proving to be loyal to the imperial government, and creating seats for the Formosa prefectures within the diet, effectively incorporating the island into Japan's mainstream politics and in theory making it possible for a Japanese to someday assume the position of prime minister (theoretically being the important word) plans to do this with Busan in Southern Chosun (Korea) within 15 years is put forward. The Imperial government and the Zaibatusus continue to expand their influence throughout South East Asia. All research continues and the next phase for chemical testing will be ready in the following year. The Public Knowledge act is passed allowing the military to censor all papers or communication functions it sees necessary throughout the Japanese sphere and to if it sees fit forbid the access of foreign journalists, though it is strictly forbiden to use forces against Japanese nationals or westerners. The Mitsubishi Zero 1936 is designed and put forth as the main Japanese fighter with it being produced as a carrier plane as well as the main land plane.
 * ​Manchukuo: The Government of Manchukuo agrees to establish an embassy in D.C. and permits the U.S.A. to establish an embassy. However, the ambassador in Washington will be accompanied by an aid who will be chosen by the Kwantang Army and will be present in all meetings. The government continues to promote propaganda glorifying the Manchu and Japanese people and showing the necessity for mutual alignment to protect against the threats of the world. Exploration in Manchuria for oil led by a new company of mixed Manchu and Japanese capital continues. The military continues to expand at large amounts as conscription is installed in the Empire of Manchukuo to prepare for war with China. Anti-Japanese elements continue to be brutally suppressed by the Kempeitai through a mix of violence, blackmail and outright disappearance of political undesireables, something that is overlooked by the National Government at the behest of the Kwantang Army, all of these episodes are, however, kept quite due to the extension of the Censor law to Manchukuo in compliance with the Japanese government. To the world an image is displayed that Manchukuo is a proud independent nation who stands strong with their Japanese benefactors, which is becoming an increasing reality as all possible opposition is slwoly being eradicated by the Kempeitai, the Kwangtung army and the Manchu secret police. A process of Manchuriazation of the Han population begins. Exploitation of resources continues to grow. The standardization of the Manchu and Japanese armies continue with the Arisaka rifle becoming the main rifle of the Manchu Imperial army.
 * Britain continues its work on the air force, and heavily disapproves of the actions of Russia. (More to come)
 * Germany: Military buildup and production of all materials and vehicles continues in earnest. Panzer Is, IIs, and now IIIs are produced in factories in the Rhineland, Bavaria, and Silesia. Military ships are continuously built in the northern part of the country. The base of an aircraft carrier is laid down, expected to be completed within four or five years. The new planes of the Luftwaffe enter production. Garrisons on almost all borders are increased. The situation in the Netherlands is viewed with concern. Monarchism in both Bavaria and the Nazi party itself continues to rise, but Hitler's antagonism to monarchies remains the mainstay of the party. Speer begins to try to moderate the party and its beliefs, but he does it in a slow and steady way without causing too much concern. A small part of the country's income is diverted to investigating radioactive elements and nuclear physics. More may follow ...
 * ​Brazil Dip: We Request that Brazil be allowed to produce some of the German tanks in order to help make up for 1. any production shortfalls, and 2. to solidify the German-Brazilian economic and military partnership.
 * German Diplomacy: This request is granted, provided that you sell to no one but Germany without German permission.
 * Jap Diplomacy: The Japanese request permission to purchase German tanks to nulify the need to create a new design and to avoid wasting valuable industrial capacity needed for the navy and air force.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany approves of Japan's request. Brazil is authorized to produce Panzer Is and IIs and also sell them to Japan.
 * United States: Reconstruction aid is sent to the areas effected by the recent natural disasters. Improvement of the infrastructure in the Philippines continues, while propaganda is passed out to the population, encouraging them to remain in the United States. Meanwhile, the remaining warships under construction are finished and deployed to the Atlantic, while a small amount is sent to the Pacific Fleet. Meanwhile, the prototype monoplane of the United States Army Air Force is nearly complete and a test flight is planned in 1937. The United States Army and Marine Corps continues to work on the prototype tank with the ability to protect its crew, but also have great firepower and speed. Research on radar for warships continue, hoping to develop an early-warning system for warships and American possessions in both the Atlantic and Pacific from hostile invasions or suprise attacks. Research and development of a rifle capable of firing multiple rounds continues, but is not expected to have a prototype until the 1940s. The development of radium by humans encourages the Department of War to look into more radioactive elements and nuclear physics, but most don't see the value of such elements.
 * The Soviet Union continues expand military and economy. The Second Five Year Plan continues. The actions of Italy are publicly condemned, although Stalin and his petty officers do not really care. The militarization of the border continues and more aid is sent to the Chinese Communists. A new tank design is created and it begins to be mass built.

 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Britain continues with its development of the air force. By now almost 75% of the RAF has been replaced with newer, more modern planes. A new Swordfish comes out, this time a single wing paired, sturdy ship-killer. We deeply condemn the actions of the Spanish Africa Army and warn that if this behaviour continues war must surely follow. The economy is improved with a new plan that uses private factories to build government ships- within restrictions, of course. The navy, too, is replaced, and the HMS Ulysses, a new fast cruiser design designed to be the toughest cruiser on the seas, the Pocket-Battleship of Pocket-Battleships. 
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase 50 Vickers Medium Mark 2 tanks and a license to manufacture them in our nation. We ask to buy 150 Rolls-Royce Armored Cars.
 * Switzerland: The government begins to look into expanding and emcouraging[[File:VBTP-MR_Guarani_is_a_6x6_armored_personnel_carrier_by_Fiat's_IVECO_Brazilian_Army_URUTU-3_UT-30BR_turret_REMAX_–_(Reparo_de_Metralhadora_automatizada_Brazilian_remote_weapon_system_CTEx_(2).jpg|thumb]] tourism with border restrictions being lifted. There are plans to scrap the Renulat RT tanks in the coming year. Some propose converting them into armored recovery vehicles or selling them to another military force. The government pumps 0.9 million gallons of gasoline, 0.4 million gallons of avgas, 0.3 million gallons of heating oil, and 0.1 million gallons of crude oil into the emergency reserve. The Air Force purchases 40 EKW C-35 reconnoissance airplanes. Work on the armored car is underway with a 50 mm cannon being mounted, and two 50 caliber machine guns. It is a 6 wheeled vehicle, and plans are to eventually refit some with 150 mm cannons as anti tank vehicles.it is named Alpine Armored Car. The Lakes Flotilla acquired the PS Stadt Zürich and the Stadt Rapperswil, converting them into gunboats and troop transport.


 * Liech Dip: Asks to buy one fighter plane and a Renulat RT Tank
 * FFS. SWITZERLAND; YOU ARE NEUTRAL. NEUTRAL. LIECHENSTEIN, YOU CANNOT AFFORD A PROPER MILITARY. I WILL TUNGUSKA THE BOTH OF YOU.
 * Guns, a major part of Swiss neutrality is to be very difficult to invade, and they can't do that if you keep crossing out everything. This is fine. They are not invading anyone. I do agree with the Liechtenstein part.
 * I am selling old equipment to pay for new stuff. Otl Switzerland sells military hardware. That is all I am doing, selling obsolete military equipment to pay for newer stuff. Daeseunglim (talk) 22:54, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * NO. Swiss neutrality is based off the fact that any invading nation will then be invaded by all the others. If you go through with this, then that tenet will be violated. And you could still be wiped out with a Boy Scout patrol with paintball guns.
 * Oerlikon 20 mm cannons are Swiss manufactures, SIG firearms are Swiss, etc: they are ALL exported. My military is a DETERRENT, not a threat.
 * Plus, the aircraft that we purchase was already designed and was in production, so I am leaving that.
 * As head mod I am overwriting your objection and ending the conversation. I will take counterarguments on the talk page. Also, some other mod will have to start the next turn, as I will not be here for most of the day. -MP
 * DETERRENT AGAINST WHAT? The Swiss don't BUY arms, they MAKE THEM. THOSE 'tanks' OF YOURS WOULD DO JACK AGAINST ANY ACTUAL FIGHTING FORCE. Moreover, you cannot afford that many planes. It would cost well over your annual GP- and that's the Swiss MODERN DAY GDP.
 * Brazil: Unable to deal with tens of thousands of Argentinian military forces on the border, the generals bring up an attack on Argentina to Vargas who agrees. This attack on Argentina (Algo omplete) is extremely successful and Brazilian troops take huge swaths of Argentina and occupying Buenos Aires  and various other cities and beginning to debate on how to split the country on certain ways to make the area much easier to manage. It is decided that Northern Argentina will remain independent but under occupation of Brazil for its previous aggressive behaviour. Alongside this, Southern Argentina will be named the Kingdom of Patagonia with the Frenchman Antonio III invited to take the throne of the kingdom, A Naval base will also be constructed by Brazil in Tierra Del Fuego. Outside of the war, the Brazilian military industrial complex now expanded, begins construction of large numbers of Panzer I's and II's which are split along certain lines for sale to Japan, or deliverance to Germany (as per our trade) and for Brazilian military use. The Brazilian navy also expands still adding more support ships, the laying down of another battleship, which makes the current numbers of battleships under construction to two, and with major cruisers, destroyers and frigates coming off the assembly lines the Brazilian navy begins to expand its presence in the Southern Atlantic. Infrastructure throughout Brazil is also heavily expanded with the Swiss investment in the industry and resource infrastructure giving rise to the mass expansion of Interior resource extraction, and the further development of industrial factories along the Amazons contributing to Brazil's new dynamic rise in global politics. Brazil openly wishes to purchase aircraft from Japan for the Navy and its new carrier fleet. Brazilian aircraft manufacturers are put on hold for naval typed aircraft but for the air force fighters are officially put into prototype status known as the BF-12 (equivalent to the BF-109 German aircraft) with other models being considered as well with one being considered which is equivalent to the American (P-35 hawk) Other longrange bombers are officially off their designs as well with acquisition of the British lancaster or German Junker being considered options rather than develop their own planes. Brazilian influence over Venezuela continues to take hold and Brazil tells the Pro-Brazil officials in the Venezuelan government to relay that Brazil will take no hostile action towards Venezuela. Brazil gives it reasoning behind the Argentine invasion as attempting to promote a stable government of the area, as well as removing the blatant threat to Brazil's core territory. All POW's will be returned to their families. The Brazilian stock exchange begins to expand as well accomodating many of the new businesses and rising companies developing throughout the country. The Brazilian infrastructure throughout the interior now upgraded or built up has allowed for new towns and settlements to spring up based around the resource extraction.
 * Kingdom of Patagonia: The New Kingdom extends its throne to king Antonio III the rightful ruler of the kingdom. The Nation is created for the minority Mapuche in the region with a constitutional government, The First steps taken by the new government is to name an interim regent, begin elections for the parliament as well as appointment of the judges, etc. The Patagonian economy begins to take over the export of beef and takes agriculture heavily into account.
 * I apologize about what I'm about to say but where in the name of fucking hell did the Kingdom of Patagonia come from? Patagonia was already split by Chile and Argentina by the 1930s and there is no way the Mapuche would have autonomy at this point. Hell, most of them had already been butchered or assimilated. This screams implausibility and is on top of that stupid. Again I'm sorry for the outburst. Nkbeeching (talk) 17:06, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * I apologize for previous outbreak. I didn't read the Brazilian turn but quick thing, I think you should split things along different lines.Nkbeeching (talk) 17:09, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Argentina: A new government is put into office which is decently pro-Brazil and it is made semi-democratic. The new Argentinian government also begins a more structured approach to remove itself from the Great Depression, following Brazil's example. This means more expansion of infrastructure, the usage of the manpower as jobs, the subsidization of certain industries. Argentina even receives some money from Brazilian foreign investment to help improve certain areas slowly. Argentinians, while worried about this new state to the south, and their outright loss of the war, remain vastly unsteady of Brazilian occupation. However, the infrastructural developments allow for some of the first new major businesses to open up in years.
 * Jap Dip: Japan agrees to sell Zero fighters to Brazil.
 * Feud, You won by a substantial margin. However, it will take you two turns to complete the war and reach the needed margin. Sorry.
 * No worries. I've never really done algos with the territory percentage. I'm not sure how to calculate, etc. Also, how much am I supposed to take before they collapse, because I thought it was 33% -Feud
 * It is. No worries, you set it up right. Just put it this way; If you win by a percentage of 66.6% or greater, the war need only last one year. Otherwise, the mods will have handled it by the time you need to post about having won (or lost).
 * Greece: We offer Albania an alliance stating that we will aid them in any future war with Yugoslavia if they appear to be taking steps on another plausible conflict, for now we begin to create a carrier ship, to be called Konstantinous in Athens, the military and navy is built up, and the colonial purchase to France continues to be asked. a group of Fascist based politicans from Greeks forms in Thessalonika, called the Mega hellada centered about the idealist unification of originally Greek-led lands, including Thrace and Western Anatolia.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We offer 39 Häfeli Scout Aircraft for ten million Swiss francs. They are in excellent condition for scouting and a cheap recon plane.
 * I hope you're not talking about a fleet carrier ... you know how expensive those are to maintain. I'd say unless were talking a single light carrier for the Greek navy then its a bit farfetched. There is a reason not many of these things exist. -Feud
 * Liechtenstein: We continue to improve our economy and also state our neutrality.
 * Swiss D: We agree to sell the plane for $100,000; but we must wait to sell the tank until we begin to receive the Alpine Armored Car.
 * Iran: We are improving our economy and military. We ask an alliance with the Turkish and we ask if any countries want to trade with us!
 * German Diplomacy: We welcome trade with Iran.
 * Italy: The situation in the Ogaden intensifies, as Somalis in the area begin to attack Ethiopians. These actions are not condoned by the Italian military, but nothing is done to stop them. Development begins on a new tank for the military. The buildup of small naval vessels continues, as well as the buildup of the air force. More military elements are moved to Somalia.
 * Swiss D: We condemn the invasion into Ethiopia, and the military buildup at Somalia.
 * United States: The United States begins to deal with the thousands of deaths after the heat wave, while the government recondmends people to stay indoors or carry water with them. Meanwhile, the USAAF continues to develop both a new bomber, while construction on the new prototype aircraft is nearly comple, expected to be finished by 1937 and tested in 1937.5. Meanwhile, radar development for warships and military bases continue, expected to be finished by 1940. The US Army continues to develop the tank, dubbed the X-1, and is expected to have a prototype finished by 1938 - 1939. Developement onf the automatic rifle continues, but isn't expected to be finished until the 1940s. Improvement of the infrastructure in the Philippines continue, while plans to have another vote in the near future are put into place. A small amount of people are still interested in the synthetic radioactive material and nuclear physics, but a majority of the people and the government do not see the significance of such things. Economic development and infrastructure improvement on the mainland United States continues, but still has a long way to go with all these natural disasters and the Dust Bowl.
 * Swiss D: We request to purchase 12 Curtass A-18 Shrikes for 15 million Swiss Francs. We request a license to manufacture them, too.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government requests that the American-Japanese non-aggression pact be respected and promises to protect American interests in China.
 * American Diplomacy: We have always respected the American-Japanese non-aggression pact since its creation.
 * Germany: The German government is concerned with the events occuring in South America, as it makes it appear as though Germany is falling behind the rest of the world. The German government does use the war in Argentina as proof that the world is inherently dangerous and as such Germany has every right to rearm. Weapons production continues in a rapid pace, so much so that the German army is ell equiped and has plenty of weapons in store. Panzer Is, IIs, and now IIIs are in full production and are adding new teeth to the army. Advanced aircraft designs are made and are now made public. The aircraft carrier continues production and two battleship hulls are laid down as well. U-boats are made as well. Research into helicopters and radioactive elements is increased, while the designs for the Panzer IV are drafted. Military forces are still being stationed at almost all borders. Monarchism continues to permeate throughout Bavarian society. Most Bavarians support the return of a Catholic monarch subservient to a degree of the Federal government. The Olympics in Berlin prove to be a huge success, and to further amplify the idea of hard-working German excellence, factories go into overdrive and reach production levels never seen before. The government recognizes the state of Patagonia.
 * 'Japan: As more troops are moved to the continent conscription is implemented on a large scale, and the economy continues to gear towards a war economy. Industrial expansion continues and as resources flood into the country the military begins routine naval checks along all major trade routes to Japan and to the home islands. The second and third aircraft carriers are built and are named the Kamikazi and Satsuma. Meanwhile, the designs of the new battleship class continue to be made, and more ships and subs come off the production line. An unofficial blockade of the Chinese coastline begins in November as the nation begins pushing forward Operation: Taming the Dragon and Operation: Rising Sun, The Japanese Kempeitai leave the bodies of several Japanese along the Yellow River (Japanese Communists, though this is not known by the rest of the world or within many of the Japanese own circles) this causes widespread discontent in Japan and a series of anti-Chinese riots breakout in Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, the government demands compensation. 'Several warlords supported by the Japanese begin an open revolt in North Eastern China (up to the mods to decide whether or not they have any success) and in December a student backed by the resurgent Anhui clique makes an attempt on Chiang's life by firing a Russian rifle to make it look as if the Communists are trying to kill Chiang (again up to the mods whether he survives or not. With the increasing instability in China (caused by Japanese backed groups) Japan demands permission to intervene in China to protect Japanese interests and that the Chinese government accept a series of reforms aimed at "bettering" Chinese stability and bringing into the civilized world. Assimilation of Koreans begins in earnest. However, brutality is controlled by the government to remain friendly with the Koreans. It is promoted the entry into the Imperial armed forces to demonstrate the loyalty to the empire.  Troops are also deployed to the Shangdong Province Concession to protect Japanese business and it is demanded that China accept the troops presence in the region. Zero fighters continue to be mass produced. Thailand is also requested to participate in any coming conflicts.
 * Manchukuo: following suit with the Japanese Emperor Puyi declares a general mobilization of the Manchurian armed forces and begins putting the economy into a military oriented one. As the Japanese continue to push forward. The border is quickly filled with Manchu troops and Japanese Imperial troops to help the upcoming charge into China. Crown Prince Pujie makes a public appearance with his wife and son to demonstrate Japanese-Manchu friendship and their absolute conviction to pursue any war against the Chinese threat. Kempeitai and Manchu secret police continue to crack down on anti-Japanese groups and political unwanted continue to disappear. However, this is closely censored from the public making it only a rumor which brings even more fear into would-be opposition to the Japanese backed empire. The Bio lab outside of Harbin enteres the second stage of experimentation and testing with weaponized germs on test subjects which are believed to be animals - animals as the Japanese refer to the subjects as cattle or monkeys.
 * France: (Cour asked me to post for him): Disapproves of the Brazilian actions in taking control of a sovereign nation of no similar cultural descent. Infrastructure is exandded as more people get their hands on these 'car' thingies. After a long vote, it is finally agreed to give the vote to women. The military is also expanded.
 * Ethiopia: Ethiopia makes a formal declaration of war against the Italians, blaming them for possibly riling up the Somali population against the Ethiopian government. Requests to the United Kingdom and France are made for aid in defeating the Italians, who continue to push deeper into Ethiopian lands. Tens of thousands of Ethiopian troops are moved to the front to confront the Italian military forces, while factories in the capital produce goods needed for the war. The construction of factories in the Ethiopian Highlands continues, hopefully allowing the Ethiopian military an industrial base needed to combat the Italian invasion. Tankettes are produced in the new factories to support the Ethiopian war effort, while older biplane models are produced to serve as ground attack platforms. The Emperor annouces that he departs to London to speak with the League of Nations in hopes of gaining additional international support against the italian menace.
 * I will make an algo. (Guns)
 * Hungary: a military parade happen in Budapest to show the progress of our military. We start to mass produce a new tank, not the nest but efficient. We stay neutral on the Italian invasion but oppose foreign intervention, the war in South America is analyse by our military. The modernization of the country continue with more car making their apparition in our cities, we start to develop an highway in anticipation of a futur where car will be common.
 * Dominion of India: Stuff continues to boil and escalate. Industrialisation and trading occur too.
 * The Soviets expand military and economy. The Second Five Year Plan continues. With the dissolution of the TFSR, other minorities want their own SSRs. This begins to be considered seriously. Supplies are sent to the British and French against the Italians.

''' With the UK and France aiding Ethiopia in their war on Italy, the Italian front collapses. But tensions rise in Europe, as the Germans are split between aiding their allies, and war, and leaving them to lose, and peace. '''

''' The US continues to remain neutral in these tensions in Europe. '''

Japan's invasion of China goes well. Chiang is killed by the assassin and the government collapses in chaos, with no effective fighting force stopping the relentless tide of Japanese troops. The invasion is 'condemned' by Britain and the US, both of whom do jack to stop it.

(More to Come, but you may post).
 * Japan: The Japanese government is suprised by the military's invasion being ahead of the planned invasion but follows through with a declaration of war on China under the casus bellis of protecting Japanese interests and restoring order to China. The navy formally begins blockading the Chinese coastline forbidding all weapons or oil to enter China though food and provisions are permited to enter Japanese-controlled areas. The Japanese troops begin pushing into northern China while a second front is opened up in Shanghai when Marines and Imperial infantry attack in an amphibious assault using Formosa as a spring board onto the continent. widespread bombarding across the coastline begins as does the deployment of chemical weapons to destroy any possible resistence from scattered Chinese forces. Japan sets up the state of Mengjiang iin Inner Mongolia and placing the leader of the mongolians in the region as head of state as a provisional monarchy. Despite efforts by the government and top military leaders to control brutality, violence against civiliansoccurs on a mild scale however the military successfully keeps a lid on media through threats, bribery, and internment of reporters. The initial death toll is unprecedented on the Chinese side with minimal casualties to Japanese forces. Anti-Chinese sentiment remains extremely high throughout Japan, and the masses rally behind Japanese military propaganda and the supposed holy war for the emperor and for the Empire (this is real wartime propaganda from OTL WW2. Look it up) with thousands volunteering or being recruited into the armed forces as conscription is expanded. War time production increases. Industrial expanison continues to keep up with the demand for weapons, supplies and material for the war effort. Nval expansion continues with the final aircraft carriers being built and new ones being readied for commisioning. In a message to the world the Japanese government promises that this is a war to maintain order in the east and to promote regional co-operation, as a further point the Hands off policy which states that Japan has a right to intervene in Chinese politics as the sole protector of East Asian Security. relations with local individuals in South East Asia continues to grow, specially in the Dutch East Indies. All research programs continue with radar and jets becoming the largest priority of the Japanese empire and the start of nuclear physics research however this is giving a very mall budget as it is considered of little importance. The Japanization of Korea is increased, while integration of the Formosa prefectures continue.
 * Manchukuo: The invasion of China is absolutely supported by the Manchu government however the population remains greatly split on the matter with the Manchu being mild in support of the action, the growing Japanese supporting it fully, and the Chinese population opposed and in some cases openly protesting it, these protests are violent suppressed with deaths entering the hundreds as Manchu police and Japanese military use live ammunition and gas to disperse crowds. These incidents are of course censored. Opponents of the regime continue to disappear with some finding their way to the biological weapons lab outside of Harbin. Weaponization of Germms continues. Resource exploitation continues to grow as all resources flow to military factiroes throughout Japan and Manchukuo to help industrial production
 * Austrian Empire: The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We continue to influence Czechoslovakia. The monarchy is officially re-instituted, with it taking the place of the Presidency. The legislature is still as powerful as before. We offer Hungary an alliance and trade deal. Otto von Hapsburg makes a speech, in which he declares the resurrection of the Austrian Empire, albeit a constitutional empire, ruled by the monarch and the people.
 * Switzerland: We condemn the violent counter-protest actions against the peaceful anti-invasion groups in China, and request an end to the use of lethal force against unarmed civilians.
 * Um  The events going on in Manchukuo are heavily censored. The only thing people outside of Manchukuo know that is going on are rumors - nothing definite. Nkbeeching (talk) 08:34, November 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence begins to grow rapidly and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Stikes are carried out in small scale. Major cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Bangalore are all hit in this wave of protesting - causing problems for Congress. Surya Sen's cells continue to influence people in all levels of the government and many begin to run for or come into power. They begin to cause Congress to take many doubtful decisions such as forcing people to work harder and longer hours to build upon India's weak industrial structure. Many talk about being "a century behind Europe". Surya Sen offers the captured policemen - side with him or continue to be inprisoned and be treated badly. Almost all those choose the former. Jinnah continues to grow in influence and people begin to gather on the streets to listen to him preach about his ideas and desires. Hundreds of thousands come onto the streets to mourn their lost hero, Mahatma Gandhi as they finally manage to organise a massive march in his memorial. But the chain reaction has begun. Jinnah begins to gather large audiences as well as the Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore, who begin to support his cause (hoping to establish themselves as independent states). Nehru makes it clear he will not allow Jinnah into the government and this only adds fuel to the fire. Jinnah begins to secretly acquire funding and asks Islamic nations for money. Due to the infiltration of the government, the Congress decides to increase working hours and cut pay. They also increase competition by threatening to sack workers who will not work hard enough. Funding to industrialists like Tata is given too and he constructs more factories for the people as well as to produce greater goods. He begins to make coal mines and textile mills as well as power plants. The government continues to ask to buy a few Spitfires and Corsairs as well as a battalion of tanks from the British. They are still open on their offer to allow greater number of British troops toward the east. The Congress sees this sale as a necessity due to the fact unrest was greatening and they would require better equipment to keep trading with the British - their main economic partner.
 * Britain will send both the planes and tanks, as well as several battalions, to be placed under Indian Civil Command.
 * Italy: Mass production of war materials continues, and military spending is now higher than ever. Conscription increases significantly, and women are encouraged to enter the workforce to replace them. Italian forces retreat, and regroup by the coast. The line there is holding, despte losses, however it is clear that the Italians will not be able to hold the line for long. With the British in control of the Suez, few attempts at evacuation or resupply can be made. A few attempts at relieving the garrison by air are made, but are met with little success. For now, the war remains contained in Somaliland and Eritrea, and the Italians are not keen on starting another front elsewhere. Italy asks Germany for its support in the war against the British, French and Ethiopians. 
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Ethiopia: With access to the sea now, the Emperor orders the formal formation of the Imperial Ethiopian Navy. The production of small patrol boats to hound any Italian boats seeking to harm seabound Ethiopian trade begins in the cities of Mogadishu and Massawa. The air force continues to grow with the production of additional biplanes to start off with. The development of larger, modern warplanes is to take place in a dedicated plane factory in the city of Bahir Dar, which has received government funding to increase its ability to contribute to the war effort. The industrialization of Ethiopia continues, especially once oil is found in the Ogaden. Though the reserves are quite small, they are large enough to fuel economic development in the country, and gain foreign investment into the national economy. The Emperor declares that modern methods of farming and mining are to replace the older, traditional ways which have been subject to dangerous conditions and at the whims of drought and flooding. The army continues it modernization, with tens of thousands of Ethiopian soldiers receiving modern khaki uniforms, new magazine-fed rifles, and for the first time, readily-available medical support. The development of tankettes continues, and with Allied support, the first modern heavy tanks designed and produced in Ethiopia is to begin in the near future. Hopefully, it will equip the military with the required firepower needed to repulse any invasions of Ethiopian territory in the future. Accessible education continues to spread across the nation, and the first universities outside of the capital are to be built in the cities of Aksum, Dire Dawa, and after that, Asawa and Adwa. Numerous railroads continue to be built with aid from the government, and serve to advance the Imperial war effort against the Italians, as well as employing and training tens of thousands of Ethiopian men and women in the art of heavy industry.
 * Italy: The Italians suggest a ceasefire to end the war by diplomatic means.
 * Switzerland: The government continues to update the infrastructure constructing rail lines, roads, and tunnels to ease transportation. The government incorporated anti-invasion planning into these constructions, including re-inforced bomb shelters in the tunnels, concrete barriers across railroads that T-rails will be inserted into during an invasion, along with mobile dragons teeth, barb wire chains, and cylindrical stone blocks in the road that are removable to allow the insertion of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. Another preparation is the purchase of 40 more trucks with 50 mm cannons on the back, and 34 EKW C-35 scout aircraft are purchases to augment the Air Force with continued phasing out of older model Häfeli DH-3 scout planes. Some in the government consider funding the design and production of the EKW C-36 mono wing fighter plane. After opposition, a vote is delayed until next half of the year.
 * Hungary: Offer some voluntary units to support the Italian. The military continues to expand as well as the technology which slowly improve itself, allowing better arm and equipments. A third of the farmers now use modern equipment to improve production and cause at the same time a migration of the former worker of the field who become more numerous every months to join the cities.
 * Italy Thanks the Hungarians for their offer, but cannot accept.
 * Greece: The military and navy are built up, neutrality is declare for now in the war against Italy, stating it as a useless conflict and to some extent Imperial cannibalism, that as a culture and a civilization. Neither Europe nor Greece needs, for now the bigger concerns for the monarchy is to establish a more popular leaning civilization, even to some extent allowing Muslim Greeks to establish mosques in Greece without much difficulty. While this, it continues asking both the british and the French for the establishment of a Greek nominally controlled territory in North Africa, as well as aid in building the Fleet carrier made in the port of Athens, while the Megas Hellade continues gaining the people in the northern regions of Greece and in Western Thrace.
 * Swiss D: We again offer to sell or lease the Greeks 74 Häfeli DH-3 scout planes for use on their carriers until other aircraft can be acquired.
 * Greek D: We accept the offer and thank the Swiss aid in the creation of a stronger Greek army.
 * Brazil: Brazil, with its success in Argentina, continues working on seizing Buenos Aires in particular working on capturing the nations administrative center. (Algo done). The Brazilian military continually occupies and takes more and more Argentinian territory devastating their military at every turn. Brazil asks for the surrender of Argentina fully to prevent any more bloodshed. Brazil prepares to fully occupy the rest of Argentina (Maybe strike out the fully occupation if that's not the case) Alongside this, the Brazilian infrastructure and military complexes continues to be expanded with a greater Brazilian culture developing. Infrastructure throughout the Amazons, and other central areas of Brazil is expanded with resource extraction being one of the prime expanding businesses. Brazilian farming is also heavily increased, and while this is ably used to export, much is also used by Vargas to incite a population boom. Vargas decides while it has been beneficial to have elections. However, with his overwhelming success and resurgence of the Brazilian economy to a degree some could have only hoped. He wins the election by a wide margin. He does, however, put his opponent in a presidential council alongside some other new men and gives wider democratic powers to his congress. Brazilian industry throughout the South, and the Amazon river continues to expand. Brazil now able to purchase Japanese Zero's puts in an order for nearly 200 of the aircraft with future orders considered to put in when other Brazilian carriers are completed. Brazil takes some other designs some based on the previously considered designs and build 20 prototype dive bombers, and 20 torpedo bombers. The Brazilians also construct their first long range prototype but tests remain extremely disappointing bringing the research back to the drawing board. Brazilian designers now with access to Panzer Designs expand and improve the design heavily even including an engine more suitable for a bigger tank and bigger gun as well as increased speed. A 88mm cannon is used in designs and is expected to make it into the final form. Panzer I's and Panzer II's now equal a number of about 700 throughout the armed forces and are rapidly expanding. Some new amored personnel carriers are deployed as well expected to be the first type of design for future improvement. The Brazilian navy continues to expand with another fleet carrier put under construction to add to the two currently in service. Influence over Venezuela continues with Pro Brazil and relations between both nations improving greatly. Oil from oil companies Brazilian businessmen own in their majority continues to flood into Brazil cheaply. Stockpiles are created intended at first to be a cushion for just a few weeks.
 * Liechtenstein: We are frightened about the wars that are happening near us and we are afraid that some might think we are enemies and attack us too! So, we decide to buy the plane from the Swiss for $100,000 and will give them an extra $50,000 for their protection for five years.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We decline the payment, and instead request to construct the Swiss Redoubt around your nation, manning it with our troops to leave your men as internal guards and emergency personnel.
 * Germany: The German government of Speer and Bormann manages to hold both the Nazi party and the nation together regarding the Ethiopia incident. Bormann, however, tries to declare that German troops will be sent to Italy to aid them. Speer objects, and convinces the Reichstag that, while the embarrassment of both white Italians and fellow Fascists is regrettable, it would be better in the long run to not intervene in the war militarily. This event humiliates Bormann, and soon the position of the Chancellor holds more power than that of the President. Speer uses this to good effect, signing many more infrastructure and production laws. Panzer tanks I-IV now continue to be produced. A new design change is implemented to all tanks following advice from some of Germany's higher military command. As such, radios are now issued inside every tank to better co=ordinate the tanks on the battlefield. This practice is classified to prevent other nations from following the same practice. Small arms of many varieties are made. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 proves to be both an excellent fighter plane as well as being popular with the pilots. As such, it is ordered into production, and by the end of the turn over 200 have been made, with production increasing. Production of "Stuka" dive bombers also increases. Construction of the aircraft carrier and the two battleships continues, and the aircraft carrier is nearing completion due to better than expected production strategies. Buildup of fortifications and garrisons on most borders continues. Speer himself flies to Rome to tell Mussolini to get his military game together or face trouble. To help him, he offers to sell Italy German-made weapons and tanks. Monarchism continues to bleed into Bavaria and the Nazi party. It has reached such an influence in Bavaria that the governor of Bavaria has announced that he is looking at the constitution to see if it can be changed. Some more funding is directed towards research into nuclear physics and energy, and the "Uranverein" is founded to co-ordinate such efforts. German volunteer troops and supplies are sent to the Spanish Nationalists to quickly end their civil war.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase 20 Panzer I tanks and 40 Panzer IV tanks to replace obsolete equipment.
 * German Diplomacy: We will sell you the Panzer Is, but not the Panzer IVs.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We ask to purchase 40 Panzer I's and 100 Panzer II's.
 * German Diplomacy: The tanks will be assembled and shipped to you by next turn.
 * United States: The United States continues to improve its economy with the New Deal and infrastructure projects. Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge continues or ends (I don't know when it was finished). The development of the prototype of the new aircraft is finished and plans to test it next turn begins. The Army's development of the X-1 tank continues, which is expected to be finished by next turn. Research into radar for warships and military bases continues and the research is expected to end next turn. The development of the rapid fire rifle continues, but isn't expected to be finished until the late 1940s and early 1950s. The development of a new bomber with greater ranger and a greater payload continues. The Navy begins looking into a new type of aircraft carrier with a more armored deck, more anti-aircraft defenses, and anti-torpedo measures. Improvement of the infrastructure of the Philippines continue and a vote to determine its future is planned in 1938. A small amount of funding is directed to the research into radioactive materials and nuclear physics, but most do not see the importance of such research. The Department of War plans to turn the USAAC into a separate branch of the military: the United States Air Force, while development of a new special forces brigade begins.
 * France: (Cour asked me to post for him): Disapproves of the Ethiopian actions in attacking a sovereign nation of no similar cultural descent. The military is sent, while tanks are activated all over the German-France border in Alsace Lorraine, just in case this turns into full war. However, the success of Speer in Germany appears to put said fear to rest. The military and economy are both expanded.
 * Andorra uses propaganda to increase Nationalism, and begins to experiment with hormonal drugs to increase population size.
 * Liberia: Propaganda flies around the villages and towns promoting Nationalisim. The mlitary grows.. The government begins a project of trading with neighboring colonies. Work on fixing roads begins.
 * The Soviets expand military and economy. Five Year Plans, tanks, planes, etc etc etc SOMEONE START WORLD WAR II DAMMIT.

1937.5
''' The collapse of the Chinese government has led to many fragmented warlords claiming control. In Xinjiang, the Republic of Uyghuristan rises from the ashes and requests Soviet aid to establish itself. '''

''' Amelia Earhart, after a near crash in the Pacific, reaches her destination along with navigator Fred Noonan. She later becomes the first woman to fly around the world. '''

''' Nationalist forces in Spain pull ahead of the Republicans due to outside support. '''
 * Brazil: Brazil with total control of Argentina now and with it partitioned between a smaller Argentina and a Kingdom of Patagonia, occupies both in order for the two nations to fully set up. With this the Brazilian corporations begin major investments into both areas - particularly resource extraction. The Nation of Brazil now with industry heavily expanded, and the military complex highly engaged pushes itself on the development of its warships with the a new Fleet Carrier now deployed. With Japanese Zero's now being used as the primary fighter, the derivatives of the plane are constructed as dive and torpedo bombers until the Brazilian Research and Development makes its own independently developed aircraft. One of the two battleships named the Salvadore is launched as part of the Dom Pedro class. The Brazilian Agricultural production continues inciting a population boom with officially brings Brazil's population near 40 million and rapidly increasing. The oil production from oil shale, and oil ownership in Venezuela increases. The New Prototype Long range bomber build around the same concept as the B-17 is built and tested with promising results. Influence over Venezuela continues with the country becoming more increasingly pro-Brazil.  The construction of tanks continues. However, a Brazilian variant of the Panzer III and Panzer IV is created and tested being classified as good enough while some have said "not as good as the original". Troop carriers and Trucks are deployed as rapid response now. Brazilian infrastructure increases heavily still with the central states gaining the majority of funding still. With now major railways and even a few highways going from Acre and the Amazonas states to Rio Grande do Sul the Brazilian economy now with easier access and ability to transport its extracted resources continues to rise. Getulio Vargas declares the Depression officially over as the nation has successfully recovered. Brazilian troops are used as peacekeepers on the Argentinian, Patagonian border. The Brazilian Army creates a special operations unit known as the BSOB (Brazilian Special Operations Brigade).
 * Argentina: With Argentina fully secure and under Brazil's control, the Pro-Brazil government, for the first time in years is stable with foreign investment pushing Argentina toward internal development. Argentina's infrastructure, economy, and to a lesser degree the military is improved with it becoming majority a peacekeeping force.
 * Kingdom of Patagonia: With independence guarenteed by Brazil Patagonia manages to secure its King, Antonia from France and development is undertaken. Infrastructure and economy are improved to a degree. A military of a light sort is raised. However, talks over Patagonia eventually merging once again with Argentina when the area becomes more manageable are brought up. Along with this Brazilian authorities neither confirm nor deny this and will only get involved in order to have Ethnic or other human rights issues prevented.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Austrian Empire: The military is built up, and military research continues. Austria offers Italy an alliance. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We continue to influence Czechoslovakia.
 * Italy Cannot accept, due to an alliance with Hungary.
 * Italy: A ceasefire is requested with Ethiopia to discuss terms for ending the war. Meanwhile, the long-awaited carrier finishes production, but the morale boost many had hoped it would create does not happen. The air force continues to be built up.
 * Ethiopian D: Ethiopia shall agree to the ceasefire. Our terms are simple. Italy shall reliquish its claims to Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia, and withdraw all troops within those territories back to their homes in Europe.
 * Switzerland: The government receives tanks from the German government, and after seeing tensions rise globally, they authorize the production of the EKW C-36. The first series of 24 airplanes should be complete by next turn. The Air Force purchases 24 more EKW C-35 reconnaissance aircraft. All of the Renault FT tanks are put up for sale to any nation. The Karbine Model 1931 completely replaces the Schmidt-Rubin Bolt Action rifles. Transportation infrastructure is worked on, and the government sets up the first national healthcare system.
 * Andorra continues to use propaganda to influence the citizens. This has the result of the army swelling. We decide to ask Switzerland for their tanks and old planes.
 * Swiss D: We offer to donate 20 Renault FT tanks and five Häfeli DH-3 scout planes to Andorra. We offer to sell Andorra 1000 Schmidt-Rubin Bolt action rifles.
 * Japan: The overwhelming Japanese victory over the remnants of the Chinese government and military causes a massive surge in nationalism and an even greater support for the current government. (No, I didn't do the algo. I don't know who did. I'm just using it to back what I'm doing). More troops are deployed to the mainland to help secure the gains. Naval expansion continues and naval activities begin to increase throughout the Western Pacific and South East Asia. Ties with nationalists in South East Asia begin to grow and the imperial government declares its ultimate goal to the world, to promote the freedom of East Asia and begin the decolonization of Asia through bilateral talks with the western governments and to develop strong ties with the west to fight Communism and avoid further bloodshed. Japan requests a diplomatic mission with the U.S.A, Britain, France, and the Netherlands to discuss the future of East Asia and possibly to begin the decolonization of East Asia. Pan-Asian propaganda begins throughout the Japanese sphere and Japan promotes itself as the defender of Asia's rights in a world increasingly caught by strife. Mobilization is maintained as troops are needed to hold down Eastern China and to show Japanese military might to avoid conflict. Research continues into all areas with jet engines and radar remaining the largest priority, noticing the U.S.A. and other countries looking closer into nuclear physics causes the Japanese to look into the matter farther and the imperial investigation into radiation and nuclear physics under RIKEN  is started in secret in Japan led by Japanese physicist Doctor Yoshio Nishina. However, he receives limited funds until he can prove any possible military weapon can be produced from this research. mass production of the Arisaka semi-automatic rifle continues as does the production of the type 100 (same as OTL Japanese World War II sub machine gun) which starts going into production after initial tests prove favorable. The Japanization of Korea continues with the overwhelming victory over China proving Japanese strength and silencing a lot of resistence that previously existed though it continues. Opponents of Japanese militarism begin to speak out against the continued debilitation of civil rule but these opponents are largely isolated in the government and society. Japan declares the creation of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere as a political and economic organization, and declares the East Asian Peace and Security Pact and invites Thailand to join both organizations the headquarters for both organisms are set up in Tokyo.  Japan requests re-entry into the League of Nations to begin reapproaching with the west.
 * Thai Diplomacy: Thailand happily joins both organisations.
 * Reformed Republic of China: Wang Jingwei is made the president of the Reformed Republic of China by the ocupation forces in Nanjing after Japanese troops enter the capital. Officials of which are considered competent from the previous regime simply disappear and are replaced with incompetent, corrupt officials who serve under a Japanese advisor. A new constitution for China is writen creating a very decentralized state built along the old warlord zones with each province having almost complete autonomy under their respective governors (the warlords who were pushed from power by Chiang) from the central government and subservent not to the central government but to the Japanese advisories which are to be set up in each province. The Japanese force the treaty of Shanghai on the Chinese government making them cede the island of Hainan, and the city of Shanghai to Japan, while exclusive military and economic rights are granted to Japan in the province of Guangdong and Shangdong which will be put under direct Japanese administration indefinitely, Japanese merchants are to be granted all possible privileges while Japanese citizens need no special permission to enter, live or do business in China and are only subject to the Japanese embassy with the Japanese Ambassador or to the Japanese Military. Troops begin moving into their occupation regions along coastal China the interior of the country is left alone as it is determined impossible to administer all of China by the Japanese government, so a strategy of controlling the economically important coastline and northern interior is adopted while the support of anarchy in the interior will be promoted to make sure no central resistence to Japanese control over the mainland can be formed. Resistence to Japanese rule starts almost at once but is violently contested by military forces causing even more acts of violence by resistence creating a vicious cycle. reconstruction in areas deemed important to Japanese economy begins while other areas are neglected for the present. Kempeitai and Manchu police and imperial troops are deployed to act as law enforcement until a local Chinese force can be trained and armed by the Japanese authorities.  Despite the official control over China it remains very much contested with fighting against guerrilla and rebel groups remaining the norm in China and lawlessness being widespread as the Japanese troops fight to bring the country under their control. (I'll probably be fighting to control China well into the 50's so I'm not in power all at once.) Wang agrees to join the GEACPS and the EAPSP.
 * Manchukuo: Emperor Puyi declares a speech to the people of Manchukuo over the radio congratulating the Japanese for their absolute success against the corrupt Chinese, and pleges enternal loyaty by the Manchu to their Japanese friend and ally. Business increases as more resources are needed for the war industry of the Japanese sphere. Cultural development continues to make Manchuria once more Manchu and less Chinese. Political repression against anti-Japanese groups continues. Manchukuo joins the GEACPS and the EAPSP.
 * The USSR expands military and economy. The Second Five Year Plan continues. The Uyghur request is granted on the grounds that they have a referendum for SSRhood in two years' time. They accept. The Soviets designed a new tank and new bomber, blah blah blah.
 * Jap Dip: The Japanese request a non-aggression pact with the USSR and a treaty to respect mutual areas of influence within China so to avoid any conflict in East Asia.
 * The USSR agrees on the grounds that the Japanese will not take any action on the USSR proper or Mongolia or Uyghuristan.
 * Japan agrees as it has little to no interest in the region.
 * Germany: Productionn of war materials and supplies continues at a rapid pace. The aircraft carrier is nearing completion due to more efficient production strategies. Panzer tanks continue to roll out of the factories, but Panzer I ceases production and Panzer II begin to be phased out of production as Panzer III and IV take the commanding role. Designs for the Panzer V begin to be drafted, but since there is now less need and such production of such tanks would likely only occur in several years. Messerschmitt fighters and Junkers bombers continue, and the Luftwaffe is rapidly emerging as the premier air force in Europe. Border fortifications around the nation are largely complete by now, but garrisons continue to be increased. Poland is told to come to negotiations in Berlin regarding the Polish Corridor and Danzig. Some more funding is directed towards the "Uranium Society" and under harsh government supervision the group begins to investigate how to achieve nuclear fission and its effects. Monarchism continues to bleed into German society, and the prime minister of Bavaria announces that he will change the Bavarian constitution next year and restore the monarchy if the Federal government does not object. The government makes an announcement stating that Germany will recognize the independence of Uyghuristan once Japan does so. More military aid is shipped to Nationalist Spain and Italy. Weapons are offered to be shipped to Portugal, Greece and Patagonia.
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence begins to rapidly grow and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Stikes begin to be carried out in a slightly greater scale but strict Congress measures make life tough for those trying to create strikes. Troops on the street restrict much rioting and people are only allowed to go out to buy things or go to work. Surya Sen's cells continue to influence people in all levels of the government and many begin to run for or come into power. Congress put into place many laws which, although providing employment to many more people that what is currently the norm, will force them to work long hours and very hard to get paid. Surya Sen begins to create regiments using the local policemen who train locals wanting to join up to fight. Many rich Indian businessmen are completely reluctant about what is going on, so Surya offers them the options of either staying in peace or leaving the area but not taking any of their monetary possessions. Many choose the latter in a bid to get out of the area but are left with significantly less money. Jinnah continues to gather large audiences, who begin to number in the million and help bolster his hopes. He begins to tour areas with high Muslim populations in a bid to gain even more followers and cause greater influence in the way things run. The Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore continue to support his cause. Jinnah continues to ask Islamic nations for funding and continues to acquire funds illegally in a bid to build a monetary base. The Congress' new laws begin to cause huge upsets on the steet but the people are forced to work otherwise they will not  be able to live. The government then begins to focus in rural areas too, with more railroad construction beginning and more engines being bought from various nations in a bid to increase connectivity. Tata puts government funding and subsidies to good use and begins to build huge factories of automobiles which will construct everything from cars to tractors to railway engines and in secret, the tanks which will begin to be produced. The Congress is grateful for the British coming through with them, and in exchange would like to increase trading with the "mother country". In secret, thousands of scientists and engineers are quickly drafted in to take apart a few of the aircraft and tanks given, make blueprints and then re-assemble all the parts back perfectly. This takes time but it works and now the government has vital information which could help it construct tanks in Tata's factories (which is thought to only porduce cars and tractors). The government realises the coffers are being emptied fast but they hope the measures of cutting pay and increasing employment as well as the hope to sign new trades deals gives hope to the government that things can be sorted out.
 * United States: The country continues to pull out of the Great Depression thanks to the New Deal Acts and the continous infrastructure improvement. President Roosevelt congratulates Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred, on their accomplishment. Meanwhile, the United States Air Force test flights its new monoplane and the test is successful. It is called the P-51 Mustang, which the USAF hopes to replace the P-40 Warhawks by the end of the 1940s. Meanwhile, the construction of the prototype of the long-range bomber continues and is expected to be complete by 1938.5. The United States Army finishes developeing a prototype of the X-1 main battle tank, and is expected to be tested in all terrains next year. The first radar for warships is expected to be finished and tested by 1939, while the government is still looking at nuclear physics and radioactive elements, with certain scientists believing both weapon and energy could come from such devices. All other research and developement programs from last turn continues. A new referderum is held in the Philippines and the results are expected to come in by 1938. The first length of the Trans-Continental Roadway System (TCRS) is laid down in Los Angeles, and the complete connection of every major city and town by the early 1940s. The United States, in order to maintain peace in the Pacific Ocean and in co-operation with the Japanese-American Non-Aggression Pact, agrees to recognize the recently established countries in China.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan requests that the U.S.A. participate in a conference in Tokyo to determine the future of East Asia and to begin the process of western decolonization of the region.

1938
Not much really happens this turn, I'm afraid.

Stop criticizing the mods.


 * A mod can criticise the other mods. :P


 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Peru: We increase our economy score and declare that we will be peaceful for the next five years.
 * Brazilian D: Brazil asks for an exclusive alliance with Peru and also asks for the right to invest in its gold industry.


 * Italy: The peace with Ethiopia is reluctantly signed. Meanwhile, inflation begins again, as the continuous military buildup has had the unforeseen side effect of being too costly for the government to pay for. Soldiers and Italian colonists come back from East Africa to find that they no longer have jobs and poverty increases. What little hope the country had to get out of the depression vanishes. Support for Mussolini plummets.
 * Brazilian D: Brazil asks if it can help finance some of the Italian debt in exchange for preferential trade.
 * Brazil: Brazil with its heavily rising economy invests moderately in Argentina and Patagonia. Brazilian businessmen and a few wealthy congressmen buy the controlling stocks in various bankrupt Italian manufacturers. The infrastructure of the country is expanded still farther with the coastal highways and railways taking precedence. The shipping and transport companies begin to expand more as well. The Brazilian military complex is also expanded with many of these factories employing many Brazilians as the Brazilian military is expanded to become a respected international force. The oil reserves drilled from oil shale and from the shares in Venezuelan oil companies allows now a three month cushion of oil in Brazil. Brazilian development of its new heavy tank continues with the EE-3 coming off the line as a prototype (Brazilian Panzer III self designed variant). The occupation of Patagonia and Argentina are lightened to a degree allowing for the armed forces to begin training loyal troops. Influence over Venezuela continues with relations increasing heavily between Brazil and Venezuela. The aircraft prototyped earlier for the carrier are deployed for testing trials. The fourth battleship, Libertad is deployed.
 * Argentina: With Argentina fully secure and under Brazil's control, the Pro-Brazil government, for the first time in years is stable with foreign investment pushing Argentina toward internal development. Argentina's infrastructure, economy, and to a lesser degree the military is improved with it becoming majority a peacekeeping force.
 * Kingdom of Patagonia: With independence guarenteed by Brazil Patagonia manages to secure its King, Antonia from France and development is undertaken. Infrastructure and economy are improved to a degree. A military of a light sort is raised. However, talks over Patagonia eventually merging once again with Argentina when the area becomes more manageable are brought up. Along with this Brazilian authorities neither confirm nor deny this and will only get involved in order to have Ethnic or other human rights issues prevented.
 * Switzerland: The government receives the first 24 EKW C-36 fighter planes, retiring the seventeen Potez 25 biplanes and the one Comte AC-1. The government continues to update the infrastructure, acquiring new machinery, constructing more roads, and building more bridges. The Swiss people sign a paper stating Swiss neutrality in the case of another large scale war, but allows the government to liquidize older inventory by selling it to foreign nations. The government adds another 12 million gallons of fuel to the reserves. We declare partial mobilization of 26,000 troops moving them to the border fortification, with daily patrols and anti-aircraft guns monitoring the sky. Oerlikon begins to research into radar and sonar.
 * Swiss Dip: We offer one Potez 25 for sale and 17 Häfeli DH-3's for sale for five million Swiss francs.
 * Liberia: work continues on making the public happy, such as fixing roads, and making food regularly available to the poor. The military increases greatly due to the new surplus of healthy workers. We trade with the neighboring colony of Sierra Leone and begin to influence them, showing how great it is to be a sovereign, home rule nation, and how being with us will give a better life then the iron fist of Britain. Propaganda increases nationalism within Liberia itself.
 * Austrian Empire: The military is built up, and military research continues. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We continue to influence Czechoslovakia, and it finally joins the Austrian sphere of influence, with it being partly in Hungary's influence as well.
 * ​Czechslovakia: The military is built up, and industrializing begins. We follow Austria and declare our neutrality in the current war. Several factories are built. We welcome the Austrian Emperor to visit Czechoslovakia.
 * Hungary: Continues to influence Slovakia and the Hungarian minority in the Balkan. Our investment in Amzonia prove themselve to positive for the nation and we ask Brazil if we can invest in Argentina. We offer Italy some money to help with the Italian debt and propose a triple alliance between Italy, Hungary and Austria with the possibility that more nation join. (we are an ally of Austria, so I think we can all be allies.)
 * Germany: The Nazi party takes the defeat of Italy rather badly, and demands further support for Germany's Fascist allies. A secret communique is sent to Switzerland, demanding access for German troops to re-inforce Italy if need be. Military supplies are shipped to Italy to re-inforce the Fascist regime. Military production of supplies continues. Military weapons and vehicles continue to be produced rapidly. The aircraft carrier is declared completed and is launched out of Kiel under the name of Graf Zeppelin. What is not released to the public is that the aircraft carrier is not completely operational yet, but should be by the start of next year. The battleships remain under construction. The German government begins to strengthen ties with Romania to exert its influence in the Balkans, praising Romania for their success at reaching their irredentist goals. Following no response from Poland, and wanting to preserve the prestige of Fascism, German troops move into the Polish Corridor and the Free City of Danzig. A day later, the region is annexed to Germany as West Prussia. Another day later, the rest of Poland is invaded. (Algo coming, or something) Germany defends its invasion, stating that if nations like the Soviet Union can invade without a legitimate reason, then Germany has the right to if it has a good reason. The "Uranium Society" submittes a thesis on how to achieve nuclear fission along with a design. The German government rejects the design and tells the society to create one that is easier to produce and has a higher theoretical yield. The prime minister of Bavaria announces that he has changed the constitution and has placed Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria on the throne as Rupprecht I. He announces that if the federal government has a problem, he will be waiting for the Gestapo in his office. Surprisingly, Speer hardly cares, prefering to focus more on Germany's international situation, and as such only tells the prime minister to tone down his criticism, which he does. This restoration is seen as a major victory for Monarchists, and support for such a thing rises in Germany, especially since there are few leftists to oppose it.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We will allow supplies and equipment through our nation to Italy, but not troops.
 * France: (Posting for Cour) Declares war on Germany brutal invasion of a peaceful, neutral nation (Poland). The President makes a speech, urging France's allies, like the US and Britain, to help defeat this expansionist foe. France strengthens ties with Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland. The military and economy are both expanded.
 * Britain: Declares war on Germany brutal invasion of a peaceful, neutral nation (Poland) after a vote in Parliament, and despite Chamberlain's misgivings. Chamberlain resigns the same day, giving way to Winston Churchill, who take power and immediately starts drafting plans to come into contact with the enemy. The Home Fleet is activated and quickly sent to blockade the North Sea. The Air Force, too, is activated, and drafting starts, sending troops as a British Expeditionary Force to France, to re-inforce their positions. (HERE YOU GO SCRAW - WWII!!)
 * Ah yes, good old World War II.
 * False. I never invaded Switzerland. This war is wrong. 
 * Meant Poland, my bad. LOL.
 * The USSR is ready for the event occurring across the globes. Stalin orders a swift but deadly invasion into the rest of Poland to "secure" it from the Germans. However, this is really the agreement that Molotov arranged when he went to Germany last time. What will happen next is as yet unknown, but the military remains on high alert, especially along the southwestern border. Uyghuristan continues to be built up with Soviet aid and is slowly being eased into the USSR. The Soviets also begin to influence the three Baltic states, warning them of a German invasion. The Tuvan People's Republic is annexed to the RSFSR. Mongolia is also readied for SSRhood in the coming months.
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence continues to rapidly grow and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Stikes begin to be carried out in a slightly greater scale but strict Congress measures make life tough for those trying to create strikes. Troops on the street restrict much rioting and people are only allowed to go out to buy things or go to work. Surya Sen's cells continue to influence people in all levels of the government and many are now in positions of power, directing orders which will help to create more anger within the people and make Surya's job easier. Due to more money in the economy, the economy grows and the greater amount of people employed helps the economy. However, many begin to lose jobs due mto overexhaustion and many die. However, the government does not make this news public. Surya Sen now has a significantly large monetary base which he uses to begin the construction of new factories to help people in the regions of rural Bengal to find employment. He hopes to use the factories to sell goods as well as create ammunition and other equipment for his effort. He continues to recruit even more people, with many in the police force joining in his cause. In Kotkata too, he begins to campaign for people to join his cause, and the response shocks the Congress. Even though strict measures, many join up. Many policemen also secretly side with him. Jinnah continues to gather large audiences, who begin to number in the couple million with his touring helping to bolster numbers. The Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore continue to support his cause. Jinnah continues to ask Islamic nations for funding and continues to acquire funds illegally in a bid to build a monetary base. He also sees an opportunity to create a Muslim state in the Deccan using the two princely states as a base and expand them to cover a large portion of the south. The Congress' new laws begin to cause huge upsets on the steet but the people are forced to work otherwise they will not be able to live. The rural focus continues, with railroad construction occuring at a rapid pace due to the great number of labourers. The engines are quickly deployed and they begin to run routes to transport goods as well as people. Tata puts government funding and subsidies to good use, continuing to build huge factories of automobiles. The first home-made railway engines, cars and tractors hit the sales line. They begin to be bought by affuent Indians who like to show off their status. The Congress begins to draft troops to send to help Britain in its newly declared war. Over three hundred thousand troops are readied and the British are asked either to give the Indians ships or to come and pick them up. In secret, thousands of scientists and engineers continue to work on the new aircraft and try to make better versions of the aircraft as well as provide technical support for the factories constructing the aircraft in secret. Coffers begin to be filled up but at a great strain to the people. Following the growth of Jinnah, the Rastrya Samaj Sehva forms. These are those wanting a Hindu state to exist and who do not like Jinnah very much. They begin to acquire members pretty quickly and draw parallels within their own ideology and that of the Fascists of Europe. They begin as an underground movement hoping to gain control of the region. India seems to be on the brink of chaos, but none of the sides can guess how it will be like. As the nation begins a rapid path to industrialisation, many groups begin to garner rapid support. Surya Sen, in the east, meets with Subash Chandra Bose. Both men quickly find themselves wanting the same things, and as a result, grow close. Bose plans to secretly travel east, to find a new ally ...
 * The British Merchant Navy is swiftly dispatched to keep the force a-running.
 * The Soviet Union secretely supports whoever is not religion based but wants full independence.
 * United States: The United States continues to pull itself out of the Great Depression due to New Deal Acts and infrastructure improvements. The Trans-Continental Road System is still under construction, while improvement of the railroads of the country begins. The United States Navy begins increasing its presence in the Atlantic Ocean due to the last World War and submarines, as well as the threat of the Japanese greatly diminished with the Japanese-American Non-Aggression Pact. In the Philippines, the results of the referderum has a slim majority to become a Commonwealth of the United States, in which in ten years, the Philippines would become independent. (It happened in OTL [Tydings-McDuffie Act]. In this period of ten years, the United States would help create a national economy for the soon-to-be country and improve the infrastructure to modern times. Meanwhile, the United States Army's X-1 main battle tank is tested in all terrains with great success. It is dubbed the M-4 Sherman, in honor of American Civil War general William T. Sherman, and (unlike its OTL counterpart), the M-4 Sherman has strong armor to protect its crew, a high-powered main gun, two .50 caliber machine guns (one on the turret and one in the front), radios for the crew members to have contact with other tank crews and has an engine of a P-40 Warhawk. Meanwhile, the developement of a long-range bomber with a greater payload and greater range continues, while the first of the P-51 Mustangs are rolled off the production line. The Department of War, due to the outbreak of war in Europe, orders the refitting of all warships, submarines and merchant ships with radar, in order to detect any vessel that comes within range. The same goes for military bases in the Pacific and coastal military bases on the Atlantic, such as Newport News. Research into nuclear physics and radiocative elements continues, but most do not see the value of such research.
 * Sweden: A Fascist man named - Will come up with one later - is elected head of Sweden. An alliance is requested with Germany.
 * Japan: Japanese military expansion continues as the government passes a series of laws delimiting military expenditure and authorizing the deployment of more troops to China. Development of biological and chemical weapons continue with production of gas artillery shells becoming a norm and their unrestricted deployment on the continent begins to break the Chinese will to fight. Japanese cultural revival begins in an attempt to raise Japanese morality and to show it is their destiny to reign supreme in East Asia in a big brother sytem - so to speak. The new aircraft carriers are deployed put on active duty as new ones are put forward for construction. The construction of the Yamato battleship begins under the guidance of Admiral Yamamoto. Development of a long range bomber begins while more zero fighters are fabricated. Japan once more requests that the Western Nations join a conference in Tokyo to discuss the future of East Asia and to begin the decolonization of Eastern Asia. Japan applauds the U.S.A. plan to grant independence to the Philippines within ten years and swears eternal friendship with the American Giant. Elsewhere in Asia, pro-independence groups are supported by Japan with funds and now weapons. Military planning begins for the liberation of the East Indies and Indochina. Technological research continues with the radar completed and upgrading of all naval vessels with it begins, while research into jet technology continues as does the research into nuclear technology lead by RIKEN. Anti-Chinese sentiment begins to subside and is replaced with contempt and a feeling of supiriority over the Han. Industrial expansion continues and the new Chinese market causes a massive boom in the manufacturing industry raising Japanese stocks to raise. Shintoism is promoted a lot stronger in Korea and Taiwan as Japanization increases. Health care is made free and covered by the state throughout the home islands as is education and a few universities are made public to help promote higher education amongst the Japanese population to increase the national intelectual and scientific community along with increase the skilled workforce. Hard labour jobs are offered to Koreans and Chinese in the Japanese core lands to help this process of increasing the skilled labour among Japanese and to replace the loss of work force to the armed forces which continue to expand this is accepted by many Chinese and Koreans who see it as an opportunity to gain better livings despite their resentment towards the Japanese. Japan formaly recognizes the Muslim breakaway state in western China. Adminitration of Shandoong and Guangdong begin. The Kwantang Army begins to lose its autonomy as the military high command in Tokyo replace insubordinate officers with those loyal to the central command and begin reasserting central command throughout the empire. The Kempeitai are granted extra poowers and a subdivision known as the Imperial counter insurgency unit is created making the Kempeitai a special forces unit subordinate directly to the high command instead of to the local military occupation forces.
 * ​Manchukuo: HIs imperial majesty Puyi abdicates the throne under extreme preassure from the Japanese ministers and from the Manchu parliament after he produces no heir. His brother Pujie assumes the throne as the second emperor of Manchukuo and his wife becomes Empress consort Hiro Saga with their son Wei Jin becoming Crown Prince. Industrialization of the empire continues with Japanese funding and resource exploitation continues to grow. The Imperial manchu Army completes a joint execise with the Japanese Imperial Army showing a great improvement in their combat ability. Reppression begins to ease up in Manchuria with most political enemies either to scared to speak out against the government or otherwise dead or rotting in some prison in Manchuria or Japan. Kempeitai efforts move towards promoting Japanese-Manchu co-operation and friendship thorugh detailed censorship, holding rallies in favor of the alliance, and controlling Manchu politicians. The Manchukuo Yuan is tied directly to the Japanese Imperial Yen.
 * Reformed Republic Of China: Reconstruction continues in limited areas under Japanese control while counter insurgency and military operations against anti-Japanese groups expand. A local military is created known as the Army of the Reformed Republic is created but is still very small and security is still handled by the Japanese and Manchu forces. Wang continues to push forward the Japanese agenda and Mengjiang is integrated into the Reformed Republic as an autonomous region. Decentralization of Japanese controlled China continues as more and more power is delegated to the provincial governers who in turn serve the interests of the Japanese advisors and the Japanese empire, and the national government of China becomes more and more just a rubber stamp for laws pushed forward by the Japanese.  The Army of the Reformed Republic is decentralized as well and is subject to the command of the local governors recreating the armies of the late Qing dynasty which had local loyalties. Chiang and his legacy are stamped into the mud by Japanese propaganda stating that the Nationalist forces only served their own interests and led China to ruin and the Japanese are here to help restore Chinese stability and economy.
 * American Diplomacy to Japan: We will send a representative to the meeting over decolonization.

1938.5
''' Once more Imp to the rescue. '''

''' World War II continues in full swing. The Soviets and the Germans are pwning Poland, so the Polish government flees to exile in London. However, the Polish Army has yet to surrender. '''

''' In India, strife continues with the different factions all promoting the same thing yet fighting over dominance of the independence movement. '''

''' Brazil's domination of South America begins to frighten some of the nations there. Peru, Columbia, Chile and Panama hold a summit in Bogota- to which neither Brazil nor its client states are pointedly not invited. Meanwhile, though the government in Venezuela is now extremely pro-Brazil, there is a grassroots hatred against them, exacerbated by the fact that they do not speak the same language. '''

''' In America, there is a major breaktrhough in the atomic program. However, this is kept secret for now ... '''


 * Italy: After the German Invasion of Poland, Mussolini immediately declares support for Germany in the upcoming war. However, many generals refuse to mobilize their troops, having just returned from the military blunder in Ethiopia. Victor Emmanuel III makes it clear that he does not wish to sacrifice any more Italian lives to another one of Mussolini's Strategic failures. Mussolini not only defies the king by promising men and supplies to Germany, but he also manages to have the king arrested. his son, Umberto II flees west to france. Though Mussolini continues to decline in popularity, over 50% of the population is still in support of the current regime. many of those who oppose him begin to flee the country.
 * Germany congratulates Italy on its decisions, but warns Italy of the war and for Italy to be careful. Germany also urges Italy to be careful with regards to the monarch and the population. More supplies such as weapons, tanks, and ammunition are shipped to Italy.
 * Brazil D: We offer to send raw materials to Italy in order to help with its war effort how ever your navy must escort some of the cargo ships through the medditerrenean.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Switzerland: The government again declares neutrality. A man drives a truck up to the LoN headquarters and attempts to blow it up. The Swiss Army detain the man, and charge him with instigating terrorism and war. The army is placed on high alert with the complete mobilization of active units, and factories shifting to more secure, underground facilities. The fuel reserves are upped again to 17 million gallons. The Air Force purchases 48 EKW C-36 fighter planes. They requisition the now defunct Swissair's sixteen DC-2 and twenty-four DC-3 airplanes for cargo transportation. The army orders 75 HT-01, a tank based on the Panzer II chassis with a 175 mm cannon to act as self-propelled artillery. We update rail lines and infrastructure. After receiving word that the Germans have sold a license, Swiss manufacturers (many who have been tooled by Germany in the early 1930's) begin production of the Panzer I with a 35 mm Oerlikon cannon, and two MG 30 machine guns. The Panzer II is produced with a new Oerlikon 105 mm artillery rifle that was secretly designed by the Swiss Armed Forces, and three MG 30 machine guns. The first thirty Panzer I's and twelve Panzer II's are delivered.
 * Swiss D: We request to buy the rights and license to produce the Panzer I and Panzer II from Germany. We offer 35: Dewoitine D.27 light attack planes, 15: Nieuport 28's, 16: Potez 25, One: Comte AC-1, and 16: Hanriot HD.1 for sale for 100 million Swiss Francs.
 * German Diplomacy: We will sell you the right to produce the plans. Keep your planes.
 * Greece D: Greece wants to purchase 83 aircraft pieces from Switzerland under the promise of the recognition and license of the Cannon 85 model of 1927 Schneider and the Cannon 105 model as well and the payment of ten million dollars in a period ranging from five to ten years after the purchase.
 * Swiss D: We accept.
 * Brazil: With war breaking out in Europe Brazil announces that it will guarantee the integrity of its shipments to Europe - particularly Germany which has become a prime investor and economic partner with Brazil. After this announcement all shipments are escorted by specially modified ships, and more important shipments are escorted with destroyers and frigates. Without other major theaters to patroltThe South Atlantic becomes a major operating area for the Brazilian navy with the fleet carriers making their first appearance in the ocean as well as some of the countries new battleships. Brazil does not curb any raw materials or arms shipments to Germany and urges both France and Britain to show restraint and come to the peace table. Brazilian naval expansion continues with nearly 12 destroyers and nearly 15 frigates being finished and deployed. Along with this, five cruisers and a new class of battle cruiser is laid down. The first flights of torpedo and dive bombers are deployed on the fleet carriers. Brazilian infrastructure is still expanded with the Pacific Highway, and the interior railways is expanded as well with resource development taking precendence and the ability to ship resources bought by Germany and various countries is able to be expanded heavily. Cargo aircraft are developed rather quickly with their use becoming rather expansive. The Brazilian investment in Argentina and Patagonia continues and the situation between the two nations is improved in order to reunite just with more Mapuche recognition. A South American federalizing movement had arisen in some of the higher ups of the Brazilian government as well as some of the middle classes seeing the benefit of the situation. Brazilian influence over Venezuela continues to the point where a large scale preferential trade is developed between both countries. This step in trade brings Brazil much closer in making Venezuela a client state of Brazil. Brazilian armed forces are considering expanding to nearly 1.2 million from its existing members. Quite unexpectedly the Brazilian president reluctantly orders the mining of Uranium in order to study the material. The Brazilian government issues a warning statement to people wishing to go to europe. Brazilian borders are opened to Immigrants from europe.
 * Argentina: With the Brazilians advocating reunifying Patagonia and Argentina, the Argentinian government agrees for more recognized and special status and both will remain semi-autonomous in order for Ethnic specific issues to be handled. Along with this the new Argentinian government increases infrastructure, the peacekeepers, and its economy sending its resources to Brazil for shipping to Germany.
 * Patagonia: The Patagonian armed forces are expanded as well as its infrastructure, and Economy. The Infrastructure is expanded in tandem with Argentina to keep a cohesive highway system. Patagonia rejects Argentina's current offer and gives its demands that it should be more recognized in Argentina in General and while not semi-autonomous, will have equal say in Argentinian politics. Along with this, the Patagonians request more Brazilian forces in their territory.
 * Sweden: The millatry is moblized around the øsrend.
 * Germany: The declaration of war shocks many Germans, who assumed that since nothing was done against the Soviets when they invaded a nation the same would happen with Poland. Despite this, Germans are enthusiatic about the war, seeing it as the chance to exact revenge against the "cruel hypocritical imperialists" (much sarcasm intended). The majority of German forces are shipped west along the French border, where the Germans are ordered to stand their ground in their fortifications. Soldiers quickly begin to get bored, and the war is jokingly called the "Phoney War." Many in the reserves are brought into active service, and a general draft also enters effect.  Several divisions of soldiers remain on the east to pacify the rest of Poland, which should happen soon given the lack of supplies able to reach the Polish troops. A puppet state is established in Warsaw. Away from the fronts, production of war supplies grows exponentially as Speer manages the many factories and plants and turns them into streamlined and efficient industries. Tanks continue to roll out of factories as well as planes and weapons. The Germany navy experiences a boost to its strength this year as the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin and several battleships all enter active service. Graf Zeppelin is equipped with Messerschmitt fighters and Junkers "Stuka" dive bombers, giving it an impressive arsenal. The designs for the Panzer V are brought out and re-examined given the outbreak of war. While the designs show promise, production of the Panzer V will likely not occur until 1940 or so. To further protect the naval influence of Germany, an invasion of Denmark commences (algo coming) along with Swedish troops to deny the British navy from aqquiring naval bases close to German shipyards. This is also done to bring the Danish people back to the fold with their German cousins. Graf Zeppelin leads the naval attack, launching both fighters and dive bombers to attack Danish military installations and to gain air superiority. German troops and tanks pour over the Danish border. Secretly, depending on the results of the Denmark invasion, an invasion of Norway is planned. Reseach into new weapons to aid the war effort are ordered, and one promising design is a guided rocket. Some other proposals also include outfitting fighter planes and bombers with jet engines. While all of these have promise, they are all in the planning stage now. The "Uranium Society" is ordered to collaborate their research and designs with the Soviet Atomic project in order to create a nuclear weapon.
 * Brazil Dip: With several Uranium deposits Brazil secretly asks for co-operation on a nuclear project with Germany considering we have already began exploitation on a large deposit.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We frown upon the invasion of Poland and Denmark.
 * Liechtenstein: Develops economy and military. Asks the Swiss to construct the Swiss Redoubt around Liechtenstein.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to, and begin to construct a fortified wall around Liechtenstein.
 * Are you HIGH? A) Liechenstein isn't that small and B) what the hell is a wall going to help in the modern era??
 * Turkey: Declares war on Germany. Begins a draft and stops providing weapons to pro-Turkish rebels. Begins plans to build a medium tank.
 * Austrian Empire: The military is built up and military research continues. We work on our economy and infrastructure. Several factories are built. We annex several regions of Czechslovakia with German heritage, as Austria is mostly Austrian. We declare neutrality in the current conflict but secretly send weapons to aid the Axis Powers.
 * ​Czechoslovakia: The military is built up, and industrializing begins. We follow Austria and declare our neutrality in the current war. Several factories are built. We sell some lands to Austria. We declare neutrality in the current conflict, but secretly send weapons to aid the Axis Powers.
 * Hey, Dean - no offense, not trying to be mean but I'm not sure how long youve been influencing Czechoslovakia. Then again, they are a set of various cultures. I doubt it'd be tooooo hard. Just wanna make sure it's OK. My only problem, I think, is the time taken to do so. (Feel free to explain yourself if you want. I'm open to it) -Feud
 * No, it's cool, he has been doing it for YEARS.
 * NVM. No, Dean. Not enough time. Go for another five years at least.
 * Spain: Thanks to help from the Germans earlier, the Spanish Civil War begins to wrap up, eventually ending with a Nationalist victory. Spain begins rebuilding, though not nearly as much was damaged in Spain as in OTL. The military increases with the Republican surrender.
 * Well, it's your own nation, but I just want to point out that unlike OTL the Brits and French actively supported the Republicans ... so ..\
 * Britain: With the German invasion of Denmark, the Royal Navy, already in the area, excutes Action Plan Delta, launching a counter invasion against Germany, striking in Schleswig-Holstein, and then swiftly north in  Jutland itself. The invasion is aided by the new aircraft carriers, carrying the improved Hurricanes and Spitfires- the toughest and the fastest fighters on Earth, respectively, while Tempests and Tornados launched from France deal out massive damage in S-H, destroying Panzers by the dozens. The economy surges as a surge of support for the war effort causes a massive rise in the stock market, while many new factories are built to aid in war production.
 * Guns quick thing when tyou did my algo you got one thing wrong jpan had a population of nearly 100 million at the time using otl demographicsNkbeeching (talk) 22:37, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Japan: His Imperial Majesty Emperor HIrohito formally Emperor Showa makes his first ever public speech on radio making it the first time the Japanese public hears the voice of the Emperor. In his speech Hirohito discusses the importance of the war in China and the importance of pushing for East Asian independence from the Western Powers and establishing a new rder in the Orient along with the need to assert Japan's place in thee sun. The continued war in Europe causes the Japanese to push their demands for the congress in Tokyo to discuss the decolonization of East Asia. Military expansion continues as troops are deployed to the continent or are readied for the planned campaign to the south. France and the Netherlands are requested to join the conference for decolonization by 1939. Support for anti-western factions in East Asia continues to grow. Japan offers to help with the preperation for Filipino Independence promising supplies and advisors. Industrial expansion continues as does the modernization of sectors of the industry. Development of a long range bomber continues and modifications to the zero fighter begin. Research projects continue with the first proto type jet nearing completion and will be ready for testing in 1939. The Riken institution continues its work on the nuclear program with mild success the Japanese government begins increasin thee funds into the program and begin censoring Japanese Scientific magizines to make sure that no other country can read into Japanese research in the area as it has become aparent that other governments have tking an interest in the area, All experts in Japan are relocated to the program. The Kempeitai continues to serve as a tool of the central command to bring the military back under the command of Tokyo and to enforce dicipline and humanity within the ranks, propaganda showing that the Japanese need to guide not destroy the rest of asia is pushed forward to try to adjust the mentality of the Imperial soldiers. The Imperial Yen is allowed to float which greatly increases its value making it 150 yen equal to a US dollar.
 * ​Manchukuo: Anti-Japanese groups all together have disappeared from Manchukuo as the violent and efficient campaign to destroy them completely eradicated the movement and focus on constructing trust towards the Japanese in Empire of Manchukuo continues. the Imperial Army of Manchukuo conitunes to send troops to support the Japanese in China. Industrial expansion continues.
 * Reformed Republic of China: anti-insurgency and military operations in China continue. Power continues to centralize into the hands of the Japanese embassy and the occupying forces while the central government remains a rubber stamp for all laws passed by regional governers or by the Japanese military. reconstruction of infrustructure in areas deemed economicly and militarily important continues while chemical weapons are used with increasing amounts against opponents to the Japanese. Comfort stations in areas of the war zone are opened up to prevent Japanese troops from widespread rape.
 * France: continues to fight the Germans. Troops are mobilized all over the country and sent to the eastern front to stop any German advance. It is announced that representatives will be sent to the summit concerning South East Asia. France strengthens ties with Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland. The military and economy are both expanded.
 * Greece: Military and navy are built up, and the recent declaration of war from Turkey to Germany gives a certain concern to the King, who sees that this may be an excuse for the Turks to invade the Balkans again. However, it says that the war between the Germans and the British is not a major concern and remains neutral on that side (like the USA) but as a prove to the allegiance of the Greeks it says it will send supplies to the German government and to the German soldiers in Poland through the Soviet-held Don river. For now, the government firstly acts to move troops to the borders in Western Thrace, the Aegean Islands and Crete in the given case that the Turks may attempt to invade Greece for its alliance with Germany, and to re-establish an invasion point to the rest of the Balkans. While this, Britain and France are asked to allow a Greek colony be made in North Africa. While this, 83 aircraft pieces are purchased from Switzerland under the promise of the recognition and license of the Cannon 85 model of 1927 Schneider and the Cannon 105 model as well and the payment of ten million dollars in a period ranging from five to ten years after the purchase the Megali Hellas continues to grow influenced by the German Fascist leadership and Italian in ideas. However, they haven't grown strong enough to launch a coup.
 * The Soviet Union continues to fight in the war. Mongolia becomes the Mongolian SSR this year and Uyghuristan holds its referendum (results next turn). Poland falls and the People's Polish Republic is created with an administrative location situated at Bialystok. Preparations are made for more war and more invasions and whatnot.
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence continues to rapidly grow and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Stikes begin to be carried out in a slightly greater scale but strict Congress measures make life tough for those trying to create strikes. Troops on the street restrict much rioting and people are only allowed to go out to buy things or go to work. Surya Sen's cells are now in complete influence of the members of Congress and this allows them to create even worse conditions for the working class and cause huge resentment. Due to more money in the economy, the economy grows and the greater amount of people employed helps the economy. However, many begin to lose jobs due to overexhaustion and many die. However, the government does not make this news public. Surya Sen continues the construction of new factories to help people in the regions of rural Bengal to find employment. He hopes to use the factories to sell goods as well as create ammunition and other equipment for his effort. Many factories are completed due to the fact the workers are dedicated in their job. The first batch of ammunition is quickly produced and supplied. He continues to recruit even more people, with most in the cities of Bengal now siding with him and those joining up his secret force being trained. Many policemen also secretly side with him. Jinnah continues to gather large audiences, who begin to number in the few million with his touring helping to bolster numbers. The Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore continue to support his cause. Jinnah continues to ask Islamic nations for funding and continues to acquire funds illegally in a bid to build a monetary base. Jinnah puts into place his plans to create the Muslim state and in secret discussions, the Nazims agree to merge their kingdoms into one nation and allow Jinnah to be Prime Minister. The Congress' new laws begin to cause huge upsets on the steet but the people are forced to work otherwise they will not be able to live. The rural focus continues, with railroad construction occuring at a rapid pace due to the great number of labourers. The engines are quickly deployed and they begin to run routes to transport goods as well as people. Tata puts government funding and subsidies to good use, continuing to build huge factories of automobiles. The first home-made railway engines, cars and tractors hit the sales line. They begin to be bought by affuent Indians who like to show off their status. The Congress begins to draft troops to send to help Britain in its newly declared war. Over three million troops are readied and the British are asked to give the Indians ships to transport the troops as it will make both nations' life easier. In secret, thousands of scientists and engineers continue to work on the new aircraft and try to make better versions of the aircraft as well as provide technical support for the factories constructing the aircraft in secret. The first squadrons of the home build aircraft are finally finished and they are kept a secret although they immediately help bolster forces. Tata offers to keep the aircraft in his secret warehouses and Congress quickly agrees. Tata is also given the contract to secretly build small air bases all around the nation. More money begins to flow into the government which puts the money directly back in building even more factories. They also begin semi conscription in a bid to increase the number of soldiers as well as have new troops to keep order on the streets. The RSS continue acquiring members pretty quickly and draw parallels within their own ideology and that of the Fascists of Europe. They spread their ideology rapidly and they begin to make sure their followers try to become reservists as well as establish their own cells. They begin to receive heavy funding from an unknown source but the leader of the RSS secretly heads to Germany to ask for aid. Surya Sen receives the Soviet funding and puts it to very good use by using it to fund multiple factories at once. Bose meets with the Japanese to discuss a secret alliance. He would like Japanese support and would like them to provide a few tanks along with guns and a few Zeros and in return Bose offers them the goods being made in the factories for a good price.
 * The Soviets threaten to cut funding to Surya Sen if the working class does not achieve better circumstances.
 * Surya reminds the Soviets that he has kept conditions in his factories fair but he cannot influence the factories of the rest of the nation just yet. He requires greater funding and some Soviet tanks as well as guns.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany agrees to divert some funds towards Indian Fascist parties.
 * Soviet: say OK.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan agrees to back Bose with weapons and formal recognition of his plans in India but cannot do any more then that as it would place Japan in an awkward position with Britain.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan agrees to back Bose with weapons and formal recognition of his plans in India but cannot do any more then that as it would place Japan in an awkward position with Britain.

''' Denmark and Poland both capitulate to German invasions. Poland is subjugated and a puppet regime is put in its place. Denmark is divided into German and Swedish occupation zones. Christian X continues to rule out of Arrhus as a puppet in the German zone. '''

''' Following the surrender of Denmark, Britain occupies Danish Greenland and the Faroe Islands, despite protests by both Germany and Denmark that they are still Danish territory. '''

'''I'm going to give Iceland points for having a sizeable population. So, no Iceland for England.'''

Does that mean Denmark (me) retains it?

No. It's going to claim to be part of Denmark while remaining quasi-independent.

'''WOAH WOAH WOAH! There's a Danish player! This changes ... yeah, not much, actually.'''

''' Nationalist Spanish forces force the remainder of the Republicans into surrender, ending the war. '''


 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Czechoslovakia: Tank production increases. We ask Germany if they want the Sudeten Germans. We also ask for an alliance. Propaganda is used to inprove bonds between Slovaks and Czechs, with great results. We begin to produce more planes as well, and complete the border fortifications. An alliance offer is sent to Greece, Italy and Germany. Propaganda is used to make it appear that Czechoslovakia needs a coast. As such, tensions rise on the Romanian border.
 * United States (Sorry I didn't post last turn, got distracted): The United States continues to recover from the Great Depression due to the New Deal Acts and infrastructure projects. The Trans-Continental Roadway System has connected every port city on the West Coast (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) and plans to expand the road system eastward begins, starting with expanding into the valleys of Washington, Oregon and California, before crossing the Sierra Nevadas, the Cascades and the Movaje Desert towards Boise, Phoenix, Reno, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. The Department of War, after the secret breakthrough of the nuclear physics and radioactive elements, more of the government see the potential of nuclear energy, but it is still a minority in the government. The P-51 Mustang continues to replace the agining P-40 Warhawk, while developement of the new bomber comes to a close and plans to test it within the next two turns begins. Radar is continueally adopted to warships, ports and military bases, to protect against submarines attempting to torpedo American warships. Developement of the multi-fire rifle continues, but isn't expected to be finished until the late-1940s. Meanwhile, the first of the M-4 Sherman's are rolled off the production line and begin replacing the armored cars of the United States Army and Marine Corps. Improvement of the infrastructure of the Philippines continues, while the Department of War begins plans to reduce and eliminate American forces in the Philippines, before shutting down the bases. The United States agrees to allow Japan help prep the island nation for independence. Meanwhile, the United States Navy begins developing a new class of aircraft with an armored deck, radar. The Navy begins replacing the dive bombers and torpedo planes with the Navy's variant of the P-51 Mustang, the P-51/T (torpedo) and P-51/DB (dive bomber). The Navy plans to have the entire fleet equipped with these planes by 1945. The United States also begins to deal with internal issues, such as poverty, healthcare and education, especially in the Deep South and the Indian Reservations, as well as poor neighborhoods of major cities.
 * ​Brazil Dip: Brazil wishes to reopen major trade with the United States when it is ready (industrial, farm considering a lot of people are out of business, and some limited form of technological exchange), and requests the currently both Brazil and the US remain neutral outside of business deals and investment in the affaires of Europe unless something drastic were to change this. Brazil also wishes to begin selling oil to the US through Brazilian oil companies in Brazil and Venezuela. alongside all this Brazil would also like the United States to recognize the Brazilian sphere of Influence in South America and will help the United States keep unwanted influences out of the Americas. Alongside this Brazil would also like to combine the New Vargas Doctrine with the Monroe Doctrine (they are essentially the same thing) to make North and South American powers in mutual agreement about foreign influence in both continents.
 * American Diplomacy: In response to the fall of Denmark to Germany, the United States deploys the USS Arizona, a squadron of destroyers and a troop carrier, which is carrying a platoon of men, to Iceland to occupy the island and prevent it from falling into the hands of Germany. To Brazil: The United States will get back with an answer to Brazil by next turn. (I believe it is time for the US to becoming out of isolation, but that's my opinion).
 * You could occupy Iceland if you want.
 * Is it allowed? - Enc
 * Sure. I double checked this, and it happened OTL too. Go about it however you want.
 * Also, last turn you had a major breakthrough in your atomic program (up to you what said breakthrough was).
 * Brazil: The nation of Brazil with its new battleship, and carrier finished and various other ships being completed as well. The new Vargas, Brazil and Mato Grosso class frigates are continually built up each serving their own needs of escort, heavy combat and anti-sub warfare. With Brazil's navy becoming increasingly powerful the numbers of sailors are increased as well as the creation of a Marine Corps with a strength of about 150,000. Brazil, with investment spurring some decent profits from Argentina and Patagonia, begins to buy up resource rights in Uruguay and Paraguay and investing heavily in them attempting to be the reason their Depression ends. Along with this, the Brazilian military complex also continues to serve as a major job creator for the economy. The first new EE-IV's come off the line as well being fully tested and ready it is deployed and used in training and is tested in some of the greater extremities. Brazilian influence over Venezuela continues with high level officials being brought into office which are considered heavily pro-Brazil. Brazil also continues its secret research into nuclear weaponry and power and begins the construction of various factories for the project as well as research and development of fission materials. The Brazilian navy also makes another order for Japanese Zeroes and fills up all its carriers with the new aircraft, as well as torpedo and dive bombers. Alongside this, the Brazilian military finished its construction and testing of newer cargo planes and a long range bomber. This is tested by flying out as far as possible over the Atlantic and made to return. The plane passes its tests with heavy commendations. The Brazilian infrastructural projects in various coastal areas are completed with other interior areas nearing completion as well. However with men looking to get laid off work, the new jobs in the internal areas of the country have led to an expanding internal development with industries, rubber and resource extraction filling the jobs that the men once had working on the infrastructural projects. Along with this, the increased farm activity which had been revved up has led to the expected population boom with Brazil's population nearing 43 million.
 * Argentina:  With Patagonia requesting different terms Argentina begins reconciliation with Patagonia working towards a once again unified Argentinian state. Some dissenters displeased with Argentina's split and subsequent puppeting by Brazil blow up some infrastructure. However, it's repaired rather easily. Infrastructure is improved, economy is improved, military is improved.
 * Patagonia:  Patagonia continues to develop its infrastructure in close union with Argentina. Economy is improved, military is improved, infrastructure is improved. The Patagonians begin working in closer union with Argentina working towards a more peaceful and less problematic inclusion into Argentina. However with Brazil's oversight, many Patagonians are optimistic about a deal.
 * Sweden: As an autonomous duchy, the recently annexed part of Denmark is given to Christian X to rule symbolically, while he still is the king of Jutland/Denmark. Troops are shifted to help the Germans in there new battles. We send troops to the Chezh romainian border as well. Steel production grows, the baltics are blockaded. We are officaly part of the axis now.
 * Turkey: Builds a new tank called the M1-Raptor (OTL M4 Sherman) . Sends troops to France along with 300 of these new tanks with 200,000 troops and 3000 artillery and anti-tank guns.
 * Not happening. You do not have the capability or the industrial base or even the research to do so.
 * Britain: With the new troops from Turkey and the various colonies having arrived in Britain and France, It is decided to open up another front in the war. Using the naval vessels that transported the military aid to Denmark, Operation Nexus is launched, landing and attacking Schleswig-Holstein at the same time as a push in Alsace-Lorraine (algo coming). With the Air Force now completely up to date, it is now the most advanced on the planet, while the Royal Navy continues to rule the seas. It is decided, then, that the Army is the weak point of the military, and the Minister for War - Anthony Eden - celares a new series of training and drills to be implemented by the army. The economy continues its surge from last turn in the stock market. War production, too, is increased. The military begin to get curious about this new 'atom' thing, and a research program is started to see what can be done here. Finally, a massive segment of the Merchant Navy is sent under temporary Indian control, and successfully moves the three million troops to Britain. 
 * Liberia: The government funds propaganda into Sierra Leone, supporting union as well as freedom from the horrors of the diamond mining they were submitted to from the evil British monster. We ask the Axis, specifically Czechoslovakia to give us weaponry, such as tanks. We continue to improve home life, and the military grows. To show we mean well, we send troops to the Czechoslovak-Romanian border.
 * Japan: Industrialization and militarization continue. research projects continue and the rising nuclear program continues to move forward. The plans to invade the Dutch East Indies are laid out and approved the invasion will be taking place in 1940.
 * Manchukuo: Industrialization continues and propaganda continues.
 * Reformed China: The insurgency war in China continues and reconstruction in areas under Japanese control continues.
 * Switzerland: The army procures another 30 Panzer Is's and 14 Panzer IIs's for the military (BTW I meant 75mm cannon, not 105mm). The Air Force purchases 24 EKW C-36 planes. The government continues to update the infrastructure. A man by the name Ernest Lewbach begins to rise to power in politics, due to his pro-independence movement and strengthening of defenses. Unbeknownst to the public he is anti-Semantic and a Nazi member. The government begins work on a patrol boat. The 75 artillery pieces are completed and deployed to replace some of the older artillery on the border.
 * Swiss D: We offer 24 Häfeli DH-5 reconnoissance aircraft for sale.
 * Spain: Rebuilding continues as the Spanish mobilize their military against the Franco-Spanish border.
 * USSR continues to fight the war. Uyghuristan becomes the Uyghur SSR. Plans are drafted for an invasion of Iran. Aid continues to be sent to the Indian rebels.
 * France continues sending soldiers to the eastern front. France and its international territories bolster their militaries. France strengthens ties with Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland. The military and economy are both expanded.
 * Germany: Military production continues, and many more sign up for the military, eager to earn their revenge against the Allies. Production of Panzers and Me fighter planes is still increasing thanks to the streamlining of factories by Albert Speer. Designs for the Panzer I, II, and III are sent to all of Germany's allies so that they can produce panzers as well. The German navy is further strengthened when the two leading battleships Bismark and Tirpitz are finished and sent into the field. They add considerable fire power to the Axis fleet. Most of the armed forces are now on the borders with France in case they invade there. There are still garrisons in Poland and Denmark to maintain order. Investment in these nations brings back their industry, and these nations begin producing Messerschmits and Panzers as well. U-boats begin to attack British military and supply ships in order to harrass British movements in the North Sea. German scientists continue to plan and design the Panzer V, jet aircraft and flying bombs, but none of these have entered production yet. Secret plans are sent to Italy, Spain and Portugal to detail on how the Axis can force the French from the war. German scientists are sent to the Soviet Union to propose the creation of a nuclear fission and uranium research and production facility. German pride raises substantially due to the victories in Poland and Denmark. In the southern part of the country, monarchism is seen as part of the right-wing ideology that brought Germany to victory. As such, the monarchs of Baden, Wurtturmburg and Saxony all make triumphant returns.
 * Denmark: The occupation of the nation by German forces has left the population in a state of unease, but the population submits to the occupation without significant resistance. The Danish navy is sent to bolster the German navy in its future battles. Danish factories and shipwrights are put to use making Me planes, U boats, and frigates.
 * Poland: A Fascist government is put in charge of the nation. This government begins to produce Panzers and Me planes to support the Axis war effort. Soldiers loyal to the new regime are trained and some are sent to the western front to back the Germans.
 * Italy: Mussolini manages to Send more units in support of germany. With their navy now completely in the mediterranean, they manage to win victories there.

''' Thailand uncovers an ancient monument, made entirely of gold. In addition to being a massive tourist attraction, it gives a huge economic bonus. '''
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Spain: Rebuilding continues as Spain builds up its military and economy after the civil war. Luckily, the civil war was not nearly as destructive as in OTL. Ten Panzers are produced as Spain continues to mount forces along the Franco-Spanish border. The military near Gibraltar is also mobilized in case of a British attack.
 * Czechoslovakia: Sends some of the mechanized divisions to Germany's aid, but also launches an invasion of Hungary, to vassalise for Germany, with the eventual Goal of a Czechoslovakian Vassal of Yugoslavia, (algos coming). This is met by widespread Czech and Slovak support, as we want a Coastline.
 * LOCAL, YOU ARE SUCH A FAILURE! YOU HAVE COMMITED SUICIDE, BECAUSE HUNGARY WAS A FASCIST STATE WITH A LARGE TIE TO YOUR ALLIES. MIGHT AS WELL KISS CZECHOSLOVAKIA GOODBYE.
 * For the record, Hungary had a coup, removing the previous government. We do not know what orientation such government had, and do not presume to know how the Axis functions.
 * Oops. Hungary? I thought you invaded Romania!!
 * Switzerland: We begin to fortify our border with Austria. 45 more Panzer Is's are produced along with 25 Panzer IIs's are manufactured. The Air Force acquires twelve Comte AC-11V photo mapping airplanes. They carry one camera. They also acquire 36 of the Pilatus-2 trainer airplanes. They have hard points for up to 700 pounds of rockets and bombs, and a .50 caliber machine gun in the nose for training as ground attack. Work on infrastructure continues and roads and rail lines are completed crisscrossing the nation. They add another eight million gallons of fuel to the emergency reserves. A stockpile of ammunition is begun. Many citizens demand that Switzerland remain neutral although military personnel are Axis leaning and the government is Allied leaning.


 * Swiss D: We offer any nation 24 Häfeli DH-5 scout planes and 36 Fokker C.V. Light Fighter/Bombers for sale for 15 patrol boats.
 * Hungary: We are surprised by the invasion but quickly mobilize our forces throughout the nation to stop the offensive and launch our own offensive into Slovakia, Austria is asked to honor its alliance with us and invade the Czech section.
 * Austria honors the alliance and declares war on Czechoslovakia.
 * Sweden: Troops are sent to Romania BUT not to Hungary. Troops are also sent to Germany to help them in  the French invasion of Germany. Steel production ups, and Pan-Scandnavianism rises. Propaganda increases in Denmark as the government begins promoting regional nationialism. The Danish units are put into the corp.
 * Brazil: Brazil, noticing the hostility towards Brazil's influence, begins a public relations campaign with the rest of the continent and tells its surrounding nations not to worry.Getulia Vargas even gives a speech. "Brazil and the rest of this continent by extension will just be reaching its true potential which has been ignored for so many years. This continent has been subject to jokes and ridicule for decades with Brazil being subject to this as well. South America and just the cultures of our great continent have been the subject of this self fatalism for too long, and I for one have had enough. I am not asking you to die for your culture in fighting your brothers in arms across our great continent. I'm asking you to unite equally with us and show off the true power of our nations." With this speech done, Brazil goes on a much higher form of alert but not enough to really alert the rest of the continent. Brazilian forces are mobilized to a higher status and deployed to some of the more interior states near various borders in a non-threatening fashion just to strengthen garrisons. Along with this, the navy draws back towards home and sales to Venezuela are propagated along with sales to Argentina both acquiring various ships as they come out of their respective great depressions (with Venezuela being already out of it due to its much better oil industry). Brazil finally works out a deal between Argentina and Patagonia also, reuniting the countries and creating a newly unique form of government with half the country being a republic and the other half a constitutional monarchy. However, this is only done with each leading their own ethnic and local matters and a true president of Argentina is elected with the help of Brazilian troops to prevent incidents or dissidents which, co-incidentally, have truly begun to die out following the announcement of the true re-creation of Argentina. Brazilian military research continues with a noticeable advantage over the rest of the continent in terms of military strength with much of the other countries still being trapped in 1910 standard era technology. Along with this, the Brazilian armed forces finish their first domestically built and researched repeating rifle called the M-4 (comparable to the others of WW2 - especially the M-1 Garand) and its own domestically produced SMG called the PA-20 (comparable to the MP-30). Other rifles and variants are considered for pistols and sniper rifles as well as the development of a bazooka . Research into an assault rifle is considered as well. The First Heavy Tank named the EH-1 is produced and heavily tested but the idea for now is shelved due to production costs compared to Brazil's Panzers and homebuilt heavier variants. Two of the four carriers are deployed to Argentina with their attendant fleets. The Brazilian government - regardless of the hostility being shown by nations like Chile, Bolivia and Colombia - continues to influence Paraguay and Uruguay essentially buying up the majority of its untaken and uninvested mineral rights. This starts up a pro-Brazil sentiment as just the investment and construction being brought to both countries begins to shift them pro-Brazil as their great depressions have been especially bad.  The Brazilian military postures on the borders of British and French Guyana as well as Suriname as Brazil - while not militarily supporting the axis - is supporting them with supplies. This is essentially done as a precautionary measure to prevent the British from getting a surprise invasion on any of Brazil or its allies. Brazil officially creates the South American Defence Coalition between Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil. Brazil's previously completed carrier Amazonas finished its sea trials. The Brazilian battleships unite together for one ceremony in Rio De Janeiro christening the creation of the SADC fire a massive broadside out to sea. The ships are then deployed to their respective areas. Brazil continues its movement of developing radioactive materials using various deposits to mine out and produce material for use and research. A few minor breakthroughs are achieved and many of the factories and other things used in research are completed and begin to be used more heavily.
 * ​Argentina:  Now reunited once again Argentina begins to put down dissenters that supported the corrupt old regimes and other things that are considered part of the "old guard" and spreads mostly successful propaganda about the new siding with Brazil, and with its previous extensive influence with Paraguay and Uruguay begins to influence them in Brazil's favor.  The Argentinian military expands to about 450,000 and is armed relatively well and is buying ships from Brazil. Infrastructure and economy are also improved. Argentinian industry is expanded moderately but any hope of attempting to catch up with Brazil is abandoned. However, Argentina does maintain a large agriculture base which is export oriented, as well as a continually diversifying industry. Infrastrucutral programs that are reminiscent of Brazil's high impact infrastructure development. Along with this the Argentinian influence which is advocating Supernationalism and a gradual unification of Hispanic and Lusophone culture becomes widely accepted as since the low casualty Brazilian invasion the Argentinian economy has done nothing but recover and work towards the better. Argentina officially announces it's joining the SADC.' Argentina's population stands at around 14 million total with the re-unification of Patagonia and recognizing of the minority allowing for the Mapuche people to be a much better off people and much less oppressed because of it.
 * ​ Venezuela:  Venezuela seeing the hostility of some of South Americas nations and now newly sided fully with Brazil joins the SADC in order to guarantee its further economic growth and its protection from foreign powers. However, Venezuela also begins its own expansion of its military purchasing various frigates, destroyers and even a few cruisers from Brazilian military contracts in an attempt to fully modernize its navy from the nearest modern source. The Venezuelan infrastructure mostly developed around exploiting its oil. While this is true, the expansion in infrastructure allowed for the ready expansion of agriculture due to ability to move it, and the expansion has also allowed for expansion of developing industry as well. Venezuela puts some of its troops on high alert using its new found allies and training to justify new deployments on both the Colombian and Guyanan borders. Venezuela begins to develop Caracas as a major modern city.
 * Liberian D: We ask for weaponry and men to train our military.
 * Oh Hell no, Feud. OH HELL NO. You aren't getting out of it that easily. You're getting at least one anti-Brazil war, no way around it.
 * Never said I was gonna get out of it but at least I tried. If I hadn't tried that can be held against me later. -Feud
 * Greece: Military and navy are built up, and the military movement to Western Thrace continues in order to avoid any further confrontation. While this, the navy continues patrolling the coast of the Aegean Islands to avoid the Turkish cruiser to cross the Greek controlled sea.
 * United States: The United States continues to recover from the Great Depression due to the New Deal Acts and massive infrastructure projects. The Trans-Continental Roadway System expands pass the Sierra Nevada mountain range and now connects the cities of Las Vegas, Tucson, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Reno, Bakersfield, Spokane and Boise. Meanwhile, the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defenses are increased around every major port in the nation, particularly Los Angeles, San Diego, Pearl Harbor, New York and Newport News. The economic and infrastructure projects in the Philippines continues until it is ready for independence. More military forces in the American colony are recalled to the mainland, while General Douglas MacArthur remains in the Philippines to help build up the military of the Philippines. The United States continues to work on its program regarding nuclear physics and radioactive elements. Most in the government, however, do not to see the purpose of nuclear physics. Meanwhile, the prototype bomber is finished and is expected to be tested next turn. Radar continues to be equipped on warships and merchant ships. Meanwhile, the P-51 continues to replace the aging fighters, dive bombers and torpedo planes with the variants for the US Navy and Air Force. The M-4 Sherman continues to replace the aging armored cars of the Army and Navy. The occupation of Iceland continues, wish the establishment of an Air Force base. Research begins into jet engines an rocketry (if implausible, cross it out please).
 * Brazil Dip: We once again request that Brazil and the United States reopen major forms of trade.
 * Britain D: We ask that the US consider sending supplies to aid Britain and Germany in this war against the Fascist oppressors.
 * I'll be posting at roughly 7 in the evening. Please don't start the next turn so early. T.T. Nkbeeching (talk) 09:19, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Germany: German forces continue to fight hard on all fronts. German forces break through in the Ardennes and begin advancing in France. German forces in Germany also begin to shell British positions in Northern Germany, with Danish and Polish troops joining them to drive out the oppressors. Plans are made to trap the British forces there and force them into surrender. Production of wartime materials is still widespread, and new weapons begin to enter the battlefield. Panzers and Me fighter planes continue to be mass produced along with "Stuka" dive bombers, while development of the Panzer V continues. Plans for the Panzer VI are also drafted, but are not likely to enter production until after the Panzer V. Experimentation with other new vehicles like helicopters, jet engines, and flying bombs continues, and a group of brothers called the Horten Brothers return from the front line on leave. While on leave, they draft up a revolutionary aircraft design. Faced with all of these new weapons that could be produced, Speer decides to personally investigate prototypes that work. If they do not, then the government will subsidize development of the prototype for a year. If that prototype still does not work, government subsidies will cease until it shows more promise. The nuclear fission program continues to work with the Soviets, and construction of a small nuclear reserach facility is underway. German bombers begin to attack Hungarian positions, and some paratroopers are also sent in to aid the Czechs in their subjugation of the country. This is to return the previous nationalist government to power. Ties with the Romanians are strengthened. Monarchism continues to rise in influence, and most Nazis now have either a non-hostile or positive attitude towards the idea. This is because of Germany's allies and friends: Most of them are monarchies and are doing rather well (Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Romania) while most of its enemies are democracies: (France, former Poland, former Republican Spain). The grand duke of Mecklenburg returns to his position, the first such return in the north.
 * Brazil Secret Dip: We once again request to co-opt with germany on nuclear research as we have just finished many of the necessary factories and refineries for the process.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany accepts.
 * Poland: More weapons and vehicles are manufactured to help the Germans defeat their enemies. Some more divisions are sent to the western front to help fight the French, while a small detachment also helps the Czechs in Hungary. German investment has rebuilt many factories and other facilities in the nation.
 * Denmark: Some troops are moved to the western front to help Germany defeat the French. Danish and German troops are able to attack the British from the north, pinning them against the sea. Manufactoring of weapons and other goods continues as well. Denmark protests the occupation of Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, and requests that they be returned to Danish soveriegnty as soon as is possible.
 * MP. If you're going to post that you destroyed the British beachead, I want an algo supporting it.
 * I never said that I destroyed the British beachead, all I said was that I surrounded them. Big difference.
 * Liberia: We continue to build up our military. Propaganda and here and sierra leone increse nationalisim, and anti "blood diamond" campaigns are funded. We ask the Czechs, Brazilians and Germans to fund and help train our army. We continue to invest in paved roads, and feed the poor.
 * Blood Diamond things don't exist yet. No warlords =)
 * Britain continues work on the nuclear project developed last turn, and suggests that France might work together with it in this regard. To escape the massive German shelling of British positions in Schleswig-Holstein, air support is flown in, and is massively effective in destroying German convoys and such. The Portugeuse are warned that the supporting of Germany in this war is seen as a breaking of our treaty. With the German invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands (You broke through the Ardennes) coinciding with the arrival of 3 million new Indian troops (sent last turn), it is decided as the absolute perfect moment to back them up, and the troops are sent- along with other troops from Britain and the Colonies- to reinforce the governments, which are moved- for safety's sake- to London, where they are heavily influenced by British politics, and of course declare war against the Germans as well. With the HMS Hood now fully repaired and upgraded, it is sent up North with the HMS Prince of Wales, the HMS Illustrious, and the HMS York (a new Kent class Pocket-Battleship, developed only a half year ago), along with a large fast-destroyer screen and cruiser command, to destroy German sea shipments in Denmark. The Danish government is proclaimed illegitimate. The economy continues to rise as government spending does, but a steady rise in manufacturing (triggered by by reforms earlier with were not carried out OTL) causes the deficit to never the less decrease.
 * Guns, the Ardennes are in France, not the low countries. And the Me fighters used by the Germans were actually better than the spitfires in many respects, not factoring in that you will face a lot of flak where you are.
 * Japan: The Japanese empire begins the talks with France, Britain and the States present for the future of East Asia. Jaapn states it will respect the right to self determination of the colonies of South East Asia, but requests that the western powers follow the example of the U.S.A. and begin the decolonization of Asia within a timespan of six years and grant full independence to the colonies in South East Asia. Japan also states that it will be intervening in the Dutch East Indies in the in January of the following year due to the continued refusal to enter talks with Japan over the fate of the East Indies. Japanese forces begin preparing for the planned invasion of the Dutch East Indies with the navy fully ready for conflict against the Dutch Empire if it is necesary, and the Asia for Asians Speech is giving by Prime Minister Koki Hirota (who leads the Conservatives and supports the military establishment) before the Imperial Diet, the Westrern Embassies located in Tokyo and to the radio which is broadcasted across the Empire. The speech comes with the Free Asia Proclamation based on the Monroe Doctrine advocating Japan as the soul protector of East Asia and declaring the region an area free of Western Imperialism while advocating greater cooperation between the people of East Asia. These political maneuveurs give the Japanese military the official casus belli they need to move against the Dutch and any other western Power who refuses to decolonize Eastern Asia should it come to that. An Ultimatum is giving to the Dutch to either surrender the East Indies before January of 1940 or face war with Japan and its associated states. the Japanese industry continues to expand and produce military equipment along with consumer goods and heavy material such as steel. The new Mitsubishi 39 bomber isbuilt to serve the needs of a heavy bomber for the Japanese air force. Firearms are provided to Bose and Japan offers its official support for the eventual emancipation of India under a sturdy and united government. However, Japan openly denounces the violence occuring in India and hopes that the subcontinent can find its way into an everchanging world. The Yamato battleship continues to be constructed and it is believed that it will finish construction by 1941 while the second set of air craft carriers of the decade near completion. the outfitting of all appropriate naval vessels with radar continues. The Dragon Tank is designed by Japanese arms producers as a possible solution to the Japanese lack of heavy tanks based on the Panzer tank purchased from Brazil and Germany,  it will be tested in the following year and a final evaluatin of the tank will occur at the end of 1940 to decide weither to adopt it or not. expansion of public services (education and health) contines while the promotion of higher education continues with more and more Japanese youths signing up to get a greater degree increasing the estimated intelectuals, Scientists and skilled work force for the next decade. A Military university is also opened in Tokyo and Taihoku to allow members of the armed forces to access superior degrees to access the job world upon their leaving the armed forces with greater ease and two more are planned to be built with in the next fve years.. Promotion for jobs in areas of unskilled labour to Koreans and Chinese continue and the number of non-Japanese residents steadily increases. All research programs continue with the Riken nuclear program receiving greater funds for their research and the first Japanese test of the jet engine prepared for next year.
 * Manchukuo: The Emperor publicly supports Japan's actions for the emancipation of Asia, and promises troops and material to the endeavour should it come to that. Industrial Expansion of Manchuria continues and more and more jobs are opening with this allowing for a greater development of Manchukuo's middle class, though many of the most lucrative businesses are owned by Japanese or by Manchu. The tight grip over Manchukuo is slowly lifting as the modeling of the state is nearing completion and remains the Japanese model puppet regime which is recognized worldwide.
 * Reformed China: Decentralization of power continues with regional governments becoming defacto states within the Chinese state subjeect to Japanese influence, the Act of Federation is instituted turning the Republic of China into the Chinese Federation to complete this process. fighting against the Chinese not yet under Japanese control continues with some success occuring in the North and parts of the South but with Central China remaining a death trap for Japanese troops who advance into the interior. A system of heavily defended checkpoints is planned out for the next four years with a series of fortified positions throughout the planned Japanese China being set up and with five key bases planned to be built as central headquarters from which all other checkpoints will be connected it is planned to begin implementing internment camps to help separate the enemy forces from the local population. Military brothels prove very successful on the mainland as troops go in and out all day, local recruitment is implemented to help secure a sizable work force to service the large amount of Imperial troops. This helps decrease the amount of rapes carried out against the local population however the recruitment methods are questionable. Reconstruction along the coastline continues.
 * The Soviets continue fighting the war  Bombers begin attacking Britain. The Battle of Britain has started. (No algo needed.) The nuclear program continues with Germany.
 * Nope. The Soviets didn't have bombers that could hit Britain until post-WWII. Unless you launch them from bases in Germany. And you're not getting development for this turn -.-
 * MP, but el plan!
 * Italy: The Italians continue their advances in North Africa, with success, mainly due to German supplies and naval superiority. Mussolini's popularity is neither high nor low at this point in history, and most people at least respect him. The blunder in Ethiopia is mostly blamed on the old monarchy, and most Italians feel that they are somewhat better under Mussolini's exclusive reign. The Italians send troops to the border of Southern France to assist Germany if they attempt an invasion. The Italains also begin secretly funding Fascist leaders in India.
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence continues to rapidly grow and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Strikes cannot be carried out as the people are either too busy working, resting or taking part in their local independence movement plans. There are significantly less troops on the streets and people can be seen on the streets in a greater number. Surya Sen's cells are now in complete influence of the members of Congress and this allows them to create even worse conditions for the working class and cause huge resentment. Due to more money in the economy, the economy grows and the greater amount of people employed helps the economy. However, many begin to lose jobs due to overexhaustion and many die. However, the government does not make this news public. Surya Sen continues the construction of new factories to help people in the regions of rural Bengal to find employment. A large numbers of his factories have been completeled and they begin to provide employment as well as goods and materials for the planned strke. Construction of the factories is ongoing at a rapid pace due to the fact the workers are dedicated in their job. More ammunition is quickly produced and supplied. He continues to recruit even more people, with most in the cities of Bengal now siding with him and those joining up his secret force being trained. Many policemen also secretly side with him. Due to Bose, Sen finally has international funding and he uses this to train is troops in a better manner as well as ready them. He also uses the guns which have been sent and a few are torn apart and rebuilt to see how they work. The rest are quickly given to those who will be looking to be part in the first phase of the operation. Jinnah continues to gather large audiences. His followers number in the many tens of millions and he advocates they sell their homes and take their possessions and head to the Deccan region to live alongside fellow Muslims. The Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore quickly make laws forcing Hindus out of their homes and they have to head to other parts of the nation. They make good candidates for the RSS recruitment. Jinnah continues to ask Islamic nations for funding and continues to acquire funds illegally in a bid to build a monetary base. The Congress' laws make life miserable for many who live in the cities and those who enter the cities hoping to earn money are soon bogged down in this process too. It, however, allows Congress more workers to send to their factories. The rural focus continues, with railroad construction occuring at a rapid pace due to the great number of labourers. The engines are quickly deployed and they begin to run routes to transport goods as well as people. Tata puts government funding and subsidies to good use, continuing to build huge factories of automobiles. Home-made railway engines, cars and tractors all become very popular and an indigenous base is being created from which citizens can choose their own products to buy from. They begin to be bought by affluent Indians who like to show off their status. The Congress begins to draft troops to send to help Britain in its newly declared war. Over five million troops are readied. The ships which have been received from the British are put to good use. In secret, thousands of scientists and engineers continue to work on the new aircraft and try to make better versions of the aircraft as well as provide technical support for the factories constructing the aircraft in secret. More squadrons of the homebuilt aircraft are finally finished and they are kept a secret although they immediately help bolster forces. Tata offers to keep the aircraft in his secret warehouses and Congress quickly agrees. Small air bases continue to be secretly built all around the nation. One of th given ships is reverse engineered and in the docks of India, a prototype begins construction. More money begins to flow into the government which puts the money directly back in building even more factories. They also begin semi-conscription in a bid to increase the number of soldiers as well as have new troops to keep order on the streets. The RSS continue acquiring members pretty quickly and draw parallels within their own ideology and that of the Fascists of Europe. They spread their ideology rapidly and they begin to make sure their followers try to become reservists as well as establish their own cells. With money incoming from Europe, the RSS continues to grow powerful and acquire weapons and ammunition. They look to establish a continuous supply route and they continue to train lots of members. Surya Sen receives the Soviet funding and puts it to very good use by using it to fund multiple factories at once.
 * France begins a desperate grapple for its sovereignty. The government flees to Tours and sets up a provisional capital. Troops dig in wherever they can, in an attempt to halt the German advance. The French plead with any available allies for assistance. The military and economy are expanded and fully devoted to the war.

'''FEUD. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Many of our contributors have not had a chance to post yet, many of them will not be home yet. STOP DOING THIS. From now on, new turns will be made no earlier than 01:00 UTC, OK? That's 8 PM EST.'''

YAY.

No. Britain has more important things to do, like stop the Italians in Africa, Germans in France, Spanish in the Mediterranean, and defend themselves.

 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Ethiopia: The government of the Ethiopia decides to incorporate Eritrea into the empire as a province, and moves to crush any rebellions in the region by deporting Eritreans across the empire, mosting to the Ogedan and Somalia. Ethiopians are encouraged to move into Eritrea to destablize the large-Eritrean population demographically, and military personnel are stationed in the two largest cities to discourage rioting. The same is done in Somalia, though instead of deporation, many Somalians are either exiled from the nation, raped to produce Ethiopian children, or simply killed to lower their population and weaken their resolve. The military continues to develop its equipment and personnel, with an influx of new tanks, aircraft and artillery, which give Ethiopia the single largest military force on the continent. The expansion of the industrial base in the country continues, with the building of new factories in Addis Ababa, Mogadishu, Aksum, Asmara, and Aswa. The empire continues to expand its railroads, with new connections allowing for ease of transport, and encouraging growth in many cities outside of the capital city. This allows the flow of goods, money and people, which increases the ability of the government to invest in other regions of the empire rather than simply in the capital itself, where the bulk of Ethiopian goods and technology are located.
 * Please redo your post. You do not own Somalia.
 * Well according to Guns, I do. I brought the matter up in chat, and he re-affirmed my control over the territory. ~Viva
 * Well, Guns is wrong. So there. -MP
 * Well that's not my problem. Talk to Guns and figure it out for yourselves. I'm not in the mood to fix your mistakes, be they intended or not. ~Viva


 * Brazil: Brazil, seeing the situation deteriorate further, draws up its reserve forces bringing its military strength to a number of 1.5 million with another 500,000 being asked to volunteer. The quota is met in mere months. However, the troops will not be combat-ready for six months. The Brazilian navy also now working in tandem with Venezuelan and Argentinian navies and also begins asking for its SADC allies to draw up reserves and prepare for conflict. The Brazilian infrastructure is continually developed with Paved Roadways being heavily in use now alongside with railways. The Economy now being prepared for war surprisingly takes an upturn as the production for the possibility of war increases in government purchase for the military and providing for its armed forces and thus increasing the economy. The Brazilian armed forces continues to mobilize and with moderate riots in its own cities over Brazil's new adversaries mobilizing is easily quelled by the public police forces which now acting as semi-auxiliaries for the Army as defence forces for cities manage to end the riots with their much more modern and better equipment and training. Some of Brazil's border cities are fortified as well and overwhelming tank power is now deployed to the border with the new heavy tanks while limited to about 150 right now are split between the Colombian and Peruvian borders. The Brazilian Navy also deploys off its coasts and sends two carriers off the coast of Chile, along with heavy warships such as a battleship and a cruiser with its destroyers and frigates. The Brazilians also use some of its limited support troops in Argentina to help end the riots. The Brazilian Nuclear program continues making various minor and moderate breakthroughs. Jet Engines are considered and some of the first research is done on them. However, the air force now a sizeable and powerful military force flies larger patrol routes and increases its presence. Brazil directly warns Chile, Peru and Colombia to demobilize from the path of war.Brazilian supplies are continually sent to Germany. Brazilian supplies are sent to Spain. Brazilian influence into Paraguay and Uruguay expand significantly with many people seeing Argentina looking foreward, and Brazil pushing the envelope of certain technological advancements. Both nations officially pass preferential trade to Brazil and its allies. The Brazilian military complex now fully engaged even more so than the buildup to get out of the Depression, using the vastly expanded naval complex and industrial complexes to begin full manufacturing of heavy tanks, more weaponry now on par with the other great powers, new warships, and four new battleships and four new carriers are put out on a speed development as well attempting to get at least the carriers out before any sort of war starts. Destroyers, frigates and cruisers are built up as well. The Navy having only one major front to concentrate on is able to throw much of its main weight behind maintaining a large Atlantic presence. A major defensive base is developed in Tierra Del Fuego with shore batteries and even an airfield. Aircraft are manufactured to supply for the air force and the navy. Much of this is financed by oil money acquired by the wartime increase and Brazilian companies essentially selling to anyone. Brazil begins to talk to the Bolivian Government telling them that Chile being overly aggressive may in fact spill over into Bolivia. Brazil offers Bolivia membership into the SADL (this will not be vassalization mods, please.)
 * Argentina:  Argentina, now dealing with some riots, uses its military and police forces to quell the rioting to a limited degree with some people showing an outpouring of support for Brazil and others wanting Argentinian neutrality or breakaway from Brazilian influence. However, the Pro-Brazil elements, seeing how their time and investment have bettered the country, begins to calm down and work more towards gearing Argentina towards war which now seems inevitable. The Argentinians also begin to make major improvements militarily to its infrastructure and economy which is now being turned towards commiting to a full scale industrial war. Argentina, however, with some of the anti-war protests still going on is wary of how it acts not wanting to fire the first shots of the war. Argentina's announcement that it won't attack first does manage to quell some of the less hardcore rioters and protesters. However, some still remained - especially in the capital. The 450,000 strong armed force, however, does increase to about 800,000 with reserves called up. With this call up women surprisingly take over some of the manufacturing jobs - against some foremen's better judgment. Argentinian forces mobilize along the extremely long Chilean border.  Argentina, now using its expanded naval and merchant marine capability, sends supplies to Germany and its allies tagging along with Brazilian convoys. Argentina influences Paraguay and Uruguay in Brazil's direction continually pointing out both Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina's more powerful economic standing.
 * Venezuela:  Venezuela and its protesters heavily galvanized against Peru, Chile and Colombia for their mobilization and the people firmly on the side of the Brazilians due to their belief they can achieve a much greater status and economy, begin to enlist in droves rather than be called up for service. Some are even turned away but it still only pulls to an armed force of 400,000 with a large manufacturing deficit only met by women taking up jobs and some government ability to pay for it with oil money. The Venezuelans, however, do manage to pull together a fairly organized navy and prepare to use it against Colombia if they attempt any attacks. The Venezuelan industry - regardless of manpower shortage - is improved to make up for the lost amount of people as well as infrastructure. Venezuelan forces mobilize on the Colombian borders.
 * Bolivian Diplomacy:  Because of Chile's growing ties with the Americans and Peruvians, Bolivia accepts Brazil's offer.
 * Spain: With Operation: Charlemagne commencing, Spain invades Aquitaine in France. Meanwhile, Spain moves in on Gibraltar, invading the British holding. Allies Portugal, Germany and Italy are asked to lend assistance to the invasion of Gibraltar.
 * United States: The United States continues to recover from the Great Depression and the massive infrastructure projects. The Trans-Continental Roadway System breaches past the Rocky Mountains and is now moving at fast pace across the Great Plains and Texas towards the Mississippi River. The cities of Denver, Billings, Santa Fe and El Paso have been connected to the West Coast. The M-4 Sherman continues to replace the aging armored cars of the United States Army and Marine Corps, while the P-51 Mustang has replaced approximately 50% of the fighter aircraft of the USAF and 40% of the aircraft of the USN. The prototype of the new long-range bomber is tested in the state of Nevada, proving that the bomber is a success. The Department of War hopes to have a mininum amount of these bombers in service by the end of 1944. The United States continues to occupy the island of Iceland until the legal government of Denmark returns to power. In a closed-door session, Congress approves supplying Great Britain with weapons and resources to fuel the British war effort. In opposition to the Brazilian war machine, the United States secretly offers military aid and an alliance to the countries of Colombia, Peru and Chile (Mods, may one of you please determine the results). The "Independence Plan" continues on schedule and plans to have the Philippines a stable and prosperous Asian nation is suspected to end by 1945 and the island chain becomes independent by 1946. The United States hopes this date is suitable for Japan, thus allowing a friendly relationship between the two Pacific nations to increase in the aftermath of the Second World War. Radar begins to be outfitted on all merchant ships and cruise liners, not wanting to repeat the Lusitania Incident in the 1910s. Improvement of education and public services across the nation continues, while President Roosevelt plans to have Alaska and Hawaii admitted into the Union by 1945. The research into nuclear physics and radioactive elements continues, but hits a snag after the Department of War does not see the significance of the project and ends all funding of the project. The Department of Energy, however, believes that nuclear could be the solution to the energy needs of the country, causing the DoE to divert funding to the project. (I'm postponing the US having a nuclear weapon and instead, focus on nuclear energy, if that is fine with the mods). Research into jet engines and rocketry continues, but the primary reason is for civilian and science purposes. (Don't worry, I don't plan on having rockets or jet engines until the late-1940s and early 1950s).
 * You,, enclave, you know that jet engines were already being designed and used by 1943 with Germany, the US, Japan, and Britain having  them. Though you started late, you could definitely have a primitive jet plane by 1944-45.
 * You have the alliance. They might cordially dislike you 'gringos', LOL, but they are smart enough to realize that you're a better shot than Brasil.
 * Danish Diplomacy: The legitimate government of Denmark was never removed. As such, we consider the occupation of Iceland to be against the sovereignty of Denmark and we ask that the United States withdraw.
 * American D: How do we know that if we returned Iceland to Denmark, German forces would use it as a staging point to attack Canada or the northern portion of the US?
 * Danish Diplomacy: The German navy is too busy defending German waters and the German Luftwaffe does not have planes that could effectively reach North America from Iceland.
 * Britain D: We firmly agree with the American occupation and urge them not to consider the current government as legitimate. We also ask, again, that America send supplies - at least - to the British and French.
 * American D: In support of our British allied, the United States will not remove itself from Iceland. Meanwhile, the United State secretly begins sending supplies to Britain and France.
 * Italy: With Algeria occupied by italian forces, the Italians push to drive the French out of West Africa. Momentum is maintained, and Morocco is quickly taken in a matter of months. The Italians then begin their drive south, which is much slower, due to the fact that the Italians are not as prepared for the desert conditions, but it is still relatively successful. As Operation:Charlemagne begins, the Italians move through Southern France in an attempt to link up with the Spanish in Toulouse, and move north from there.
 * Brazil Dip: We send supplies to Italy.
 * Greece: The military and navy are built up and more troops are sent to the border with Turkish Thrace. While this, Albania continues being vassalized and the government continues working on the creation of ports and government structure all over the country. While this, the fleet continues growing. Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Switzerland: The government continues its declaration of neutrality. Many military leaders are pushing for Switzerland to join the Axis Powers in the war. The Army receives 50 more Panzerartillerei guns, 20 Panzer I's, and 30 Panzer II's. The Air Force purchases 36 unarmed Pilatus P-2's and eight armed Pilatus P-2's. The unarmed Pilatus P-2's will be used in the training role and the armed Pilatus P-2's will be use as ground support aircraft.
 * Swiss D: We send Czechoslovakia food and medical supplies.
 * Japan: Following the failure of the Dutch to meet their demands Japan declares war on the Netherlands and invades the Dutch East Indies (need algo although I'm not sure if it will be necessary) under the pretence of liberating the colony and establishing a modern state. The Japanese invasion is in three separate groups with the first attack group attacking eastern Borneo, the second invading Northern Sumatra and the third split into three smaller groups to attack the smaller islands in the East, Java and Dutch New Guinea. Japan accepts the American plan for five years and proposes to expand the non-aggression pact with the U.S.A. into a defence treaty for the Pacific to counter the expansion of Communism in the Americas and in East Asia. Also at the behest of the Riken Institute, a secret letter is delivered to the U.S. government to request radioactive minerals (uranium, etc) - though no specifications as to why are made. Though the Japanese government believes nothing will come of this inquiry they do so anyway feeling it cannot hurt. The Riken Project continues to move forward with milld success in developing theories on sustained reactions and securing a feasible to create this reaction. However, it all remains theoretical at the moment as there are very limited materials available to begin the program beyond this point, which led to the Riken scientists requesting materials from the government. Similar requests are made to Germany, Brazil, with no specific explanation to why as the Japanese government becomes increasingly interested in this project reading through the papers and realizing the implications if it is true. Exploration throughout the Japanese sphere also begins to determine whether or not there are any local reserves of uranium. Industrial growth continues (I'd like to know if it's possible in the next decade to become a Tier 5 industrial power like Germany, the USSR, Britain and the US. I'm not saying now but in a decade). Production of firearms and war machines continues. The Mitsubishi prototype jet is an absolute failure as the actual structure of the plane is poorly made for the jets. However, the jet shows extreme potential and military leaders look at it as a way to secure, gain and permanently maintain air superiority, development into a better model begins. The Dragon tank is also tested and it will be tested once more at the end of the year. However, the results seem positive. The Mitsubishi heavy bomber is officially adopted and production begins. The Yamato battleship nears completion and is waited for with absolute anxiety by the naval leaders. Research programs continue though funding into chemical and biological weapons are cut considerably as more funds are poured into Riken's work.
 * Manchukuo: A declaration of war is issued against the Netherlands in co-ordination with Japan. Industrial expansion continues. The exploration for oil reserves is completed and it is determined that large reserves exist in Northern Manchukuo development of an oil industry is planned out for the next ten years to eventually exploit these large reserves by the 1950's (there are actually large reserves in Manchuria. The reason China doesn't export oil is because it doesn't have enough to cover its 1300 million people and its massive industry.) The discovery of oil starts off a large competition by different Zaibatsus in Japan to gain exclusive rights to the oil reserves once exploitation begins. With this new found strategic importance to Manchuria the Japanese and Manchu governments lay out the iron wall initiative which will be a series of defensive fortifications  both fixed and mobile along with extensive preperation of defensive tactics aimed at taking advantage of Manchuria's terrain to make sure no possible Soviet incursion into the region will go unpunished. (I'm still upholding the non-aggression pact just making sure it will be costly if the Soviets decide to back out of the non-aggression) more troops are deployed to  Manchukuo.
 * Chinese Federation: Fighting continues as the implementation of the strongpoint system begins with outposts throughout controlled territories begins and the set up of internment camps begins, The Japanese also begin a scorched earth policy in areas deemed uncontrolable to make sure the Chinese opposition can't use them either. The death toll continues to rise in China as anti-guerrilla activities start taking their toll on the population. Imperial troops, however, are well supplied and those who have been out for too long are sent back for recreation and rest while fresh troops move up to continue activities in the Chinese interior.
 * American D: We agree to Japan's offer of a defense treaty, as well as their request for radioactive materials.
 * Austrian Empire: The Austrians help rebuff the Czechoslovakian invasion, and the Austro-Hungarian military launches a counteroffensive, advancing quickly against the Czech forces. The Austrian and Hungarian forces halt the Czechs and stop shortly after passing the border in order to establish a purely defensive war. We offer the Czechs a ceasefire with pre-war borders. Military is built up as is infrastructure. Otto von Hapsburg congratulates his troops on the win and propaganda is published promoting Austrian-Hungarian relations.
 * Hungary:  We follow our Austrian allies and stop the offensive while peace negotiations continue. Our diplomat in Austria tells about our fear of a German alliance victory in Europe that would leave us isolated. We ask the Austrians if we could keep some land of southern Slovakia that is populated by Hungarians.


 * Austrian Diplomacy: Yes, go ahead and occupy 13.25% of Slovakia and annex it. Bohemia and Czech are not to be touched as large amounts of the people are German, and annexing German people would upset the Third Reich.
 * That is bullsh*t. Dean, you changed the stats, and you were wrong. Austria would side with Germany, not Hungary. Germany is in this war, and Czech is attacking Hungary FOR Germany... Austria originally wanted to be called 'German Austria', and was heavily influenced by Germany. No way they would go against Germany in any war. Austro-Hungary split for a reason...
 * First off, don't swear, children can see this site, secondly, are you a mod? No, well, then you crossing out a post is punishable. Thirdly, Germany is Nazi, which Austria didn't want any part of. Fourthly, Austria-Hungary split because of the Allies victory in WW1. Had they won, they'd have stayed united. Don't get all pissy because you are losing. It's just a game after all. And youve been beaten.
 * Mods, please check the algorithm to ensure it's fair. No disputes that way. Not yelling, just can't bold on phone. LOL. DS|The Rainbow Machete 21:43, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * ... Because you cheated. You can't change statistics and algorithms to suit yourself. I fixed your issue with bolding, BTW.
 * I checked it. Dean, Austro-Hungary? The Hungarians were already pushing for separation, as was most of the empire; and regardless you didn't win WWI. Local won the war - not by much, but he won it.
 * Mexico: After three years of his Empire, Sanchez improved the railway system and slowly expanded trade with Germany. But he was too quick with creating laws that discriminated against non-Mexicans. He was soon replaced by a more liberal (at least on the outside) man. His name is Rodrigo Valdes del Rio, formally called El Comandante Rodrigo Valdes del Rio. He utilized the fame he acquired by overthrowing the former dictator wisely. He was praised by people who were for and against Sanchez allowing him to acquire sympathisers rapidly. He was able to reform the army and reached the number of 1,000,000 with reserves of 500,000. During his reign as El Comandante and El Presidente of Mexico, he improved all land transport sytems, including railways and roads. The Mexican government has decided to send a large trade agreement to Brazil. Also, Rodrigo wanted to make this a perfect democracy, so he planned on splitting up the role of El Comandante and El Presidente when he leaves office, creating a Roman Republic-like plan with two consuls. Demographics in Mexico are also positive, including immigrants from poorer Latino states. Rodrigo becomes a common given name in Mexico. Many reformations except the military one are also planned. The industry and agriculture are planned toroughly, with plantations being split up carefully and efficiently. A new way of growing pumpkins, beans and corn is borrowed from Native Americans. Pumpkins stop weeds from growing, Corn absorbs nutrients left by beans, and pumpkins and beans grow around the corn stem. Also, as trade relations grow with Germany, German is taught in some schools now. This is caused by the educational reformation that already began during Sanchez's reign. The economy flourishes and trade agreements are offered to Venezuela and Argentina too. Valdes wishes to strengthen the ties among all Latin brothers, respecting each other. He also offers a minor trade agreement to the USA, being willing to establish peace in both Americas.
 * ​Brazil Dip: We graciously accept the large trade agreement and also offer to help expand and work with Mexico on its industry and agriculture.
 * Mexico: We gladly accept the help.
 * American D: We accept the minor trade agreement from Mexico.
 * Norway: Starts to build up its military. Norway asks France and Russia if I can have an alliance with you. In 1940 President Zack Ralph is elected the next President of Norway. As the military is being built up we send border control troops to make sure that troops from Sweden to not come into the country.
 * France and Russia are at war. Choose one. Choose the one that's NOT allied to the one which is trying to invade you (octi)
 * Dominion of India: Due to people like Surya Sen, the support for full independence continues to rapidly grow and cause problems for the Congress running the nation. Strikes cannot be carried out as the people are either too busy working, resting or taking part in their local independence movement plans. There are significantly less troops on the streets and people can be seen on the streets in a greater number. Surya Sen's cells are now in complete influence of the members of Congress and this allows them to create even worse conditions for the working class and cause huge resentment. With the greater payoffs coming into the nation, multiple national loans have finally been paid off and the nation can expand other sectors much more easily. The funding now heads to the armed forces and industrial construction while not much care is given for the people. Many die due to overexhaustion and some numbers put the killed at around one million in total. However, the government does not make this news public. Surya Sen continues the construction of multiple new factories to help people in the regions of rural Bengal to find employment, using the Soviet funding to very good use. A large numbers of his factories have been completeled and they begin to provide employment as well as goods and materials for the planned revolution. Construction of the factories is ongoing at a rapid pace due to the fact the workers are dedicated in their job. More ammunition is quickly produced and supplied. He continues to recruit even more people, almost all cities of Bengal with him and those joining up his secret force being trained using insuregency and frontal methods. The majority of the police force have sided with him and have become sleeper agents - waiting for the time to strike. Due to Bose, Sen finally has international funding and he uses this to train his troops in a better manner as well as ready them. He also uses the guns and the first of the guns made in his own factories come into the hands of the revolutionaries. The rest are quickly given to those who will be looking to be part in the first phase of the operation. Jinnah continues to gather large audiences. His followers number in the many tens of millions and he advocates they sell their homes and take their possessions and head to the Deccan region to live alongside fellow Muslims. The Nazims of Hyderabad and Mysore's laws forcing Hindus out of their homes have done their work and princely troops have done very well to make sure this is done properly. The Nazims both abdicate for a commonly chosen new Nazim - Iftikar Ali Khan of Pataudi. Jinnah continues to ask Islamic nations for funding and continues to acquire funds illegally in a bid to build a monetary base. He plans to soon launch a loud attempt for full independence The Congress' laws make life miserable for many who live in the cities and those who enter the cities hoping to earn money are soon bogged down in this process too. It, however, allows Congress more workers to send to their factories, with hundreds of factories being established every year. The cities begin to become littered with industry anhd as a result, Congress passes laws which wil build new roads as well as expand city controls. The rural focus continues, with railroad construction occuring at a rapid pace due to the great number of labourers. The engines are quickly deployed and they begin to run routes to transport goods as well as people. Fertilisers are also used on the fields to build upon the crop growth and the new fertilisers help to increase crop yield. The Congress hears of rumours of an ancient New World technique which helped to boost crop production by 150%. To gather intelligence, spies are sent to the New World to gather info in Mexico and the United States. Tata puts government funding and subsidies to good use, continuing to build huge factories of automobiles. Home-ade railway engines, cars and tractors all become very popular and an indigenous base is being created from which citizens can choose their own products to buy from. They begin to be bought by affuent Indians who like to show off their status. The Congress continues to draft troops to send to help Britain in its newly declared war. Over two million troops are sent to the war effort. The ships which have been received from the British are put to good use and continue to transport the soldiers to the war front. In secret, thousands of scientists and engineers continue to work on the new aircraft and try to make better versions of the aircraft as well as provide technical support for the factories constructing the aircraft in secret. Several squadrons of the homebuilt aircraft are finally finished and they are kept a secret although they immediately help bolster forces. The aircraft are kept in warehouses to provide for a surprise to enemy forces who might attack the nation. The rapid advancement of the Indians is not known to the world and this helps India. Small airbases continue to be secretly built all around the nation. Metal helps feed the construction of factories as well as the aircraft which will help wage a future war. The prototype ships complete construction and more are immediately ordered to be built. India also launches a few frigates as well as heavier ships (not much, though) but these are only used to transport troops to the war front. The number of troops in the nation continues to fall and so Congress has to train even more soldiers in a bid to make up for the numbers. The pool of options is extremely high as being a soldier is considered safer than being a worker.Flag of RSS (AvA).svg The RSS continue acquiring members and their cells have been trained well. They have encouraged those who are following the RSS ideology to sign up and go to Europe. With money incoming from Europe, the RSS continues to grow powerful and acquire weapons and ammunition. They look to establish a continuous supply route and they continue to train lots of their own soldiers which they will use to fight when the time comes. In Burma, the people have not been subject to most of the laws the rest of India has been, but this is about to change rapidly. Overnight, thousands of troops are sent in to ensure that control over the east is complete. Then, thousands of workers begin to build railroads connecting small towns up with cities and the rest of India. Here too, the great industrialisation spree begins as people are encouraged to come to work in the cities and try to make it big by working hard. Little do they know, they are going to become workers for the construction of factories and roads. Surya Sen has also established a few factories in Burma and is on favourable terms with the locals.
 * Brazil Secret dip: We offer to send funding as well as weaponry to the RSS and discuss post independence trade and relations.
 * Indian (RSS) Secret Diplomacy: We are willing to accept all funding but we are hoping to acquire some naval blueprints (larger ships like light destroyers and heavy frigates) which we can try to secretly build to outdo the Indian Congress.
 * Mexico official dip: We scorn the nationalistic ideology of Indians and their non-democratic ways
 * Mexico secret dip: We secretly support the Indian government and send them information about our special agricultural techniques simillar to the Aztec ones.
 * The Soviets continue to fight on all fronts. Troops continue to cross Germany to reach the main front, but air transports continue to be built. Nuclear research continues with nukes expected for 1944. Efforts to convince the Polish People's Republic to become an SSR continue.
 * Czechoslovakia: Czechs are given high income jobs, whilst Slovaks are kept in low income jobs. A strict one child policy is enforced on Slovaks, and second children are given to the Army as wards. Czechs, on the other hand, are encouraged to have six or seven children. Slovaks and other minorities are goven jobs in agriculture, with much of the food going to the Czechs. Others are put to work in Factories, producing weapons and munnitions for the Army. Propaganda keeps the population firmly behind the war in Hungary, and Austria is warned that it should stay out of this war, as it foes not concern them.
 * France continues the war with Germany. The provisional capital at Tours is fortified. France reaches out to the United States to gain support for the war. The economy and the military are fully geared to the war.
 * Sweden: A new secert terriost orgianzation is made in Iceland called Pan-Scand freedom. They begin oppertions in the north. They also begin working on the Norwegians. The army grows a lot and more troops. The Danish integration continues. STEEL PRODUCTION GROWS. A small coastal town is given to the Axis pact as international territory.
 * Germany: German troops spearhead the offensive into France, eager to push the French out of the war and regain Germany's honor. The French, demoralized by the government's decision to move the capital from Paris to Tours, are pushed back on all fronts (algo hopefully coming). German forces continue to occupy British forces in the north, where the British are accomplishing little and are only serving to detract from the defense of France. Austria is told to back off the Czech invasion of Hungary or there will be a crisis in German-Austrian relations. Production of war materials continues. Weapons and vehicles such as U-Boats, Panzers, and ME fighters continue to be made, even as new weapons and vehicles are made and designed. A new submachine gun called the MP40 is designed and created for the frontlines. It is found to be highly effective and is soon mass produced. In order to better supply frontline detachments of troops, a helicopter variant called the FA 223 is designed and soon begins production in Poland. The Panzer V is nearing developmental completion, and as of now a prototype is being made. The designs for a flying bomb are approved, and Fieseler begins to construct a prototype. The Horten Brothers also begin to design aircraft to penetrate the radar of the British. Jet engines continue to be experimented with, and engineers continue to experiment with how to mount them on planes. Von Braun continues to design rockets, and some in the High Command suggest that Speer look into them. Speer, however, is currently unconvinced of such a device's military value. On the international front, Germany continues to petition that Iceland be returned to the rightful government of Denmark. The territory that comprises the former Alsace-Lorraine are integrated into Germany now that German forces have overwhelmed the French there. Luxembourg is also occupied, and after a month of transitional government the Grand Duchy is annexed with Grand Duchess Charlotte still on the throne. Provisional regional governments are also established in German-occupied Belgium and Netherlands, but the Germans wait to establish a national provisional government in those areas. Monarchists manage to return the former monarchs to all their positions except that of Prussia, which is currently the only state in Germany now without a monarchy.
 * Poland: Polish troops continue to train and are deployed to the western front to aid the Axis against the French. Some Polish troops are also sent to Czechoslovakia to aid them in their invasion of Hungary. Production of Panzers and Fa 223s continues, with most being shipped to Germany but some being retained for Polish use. Poland officially turns over any former naval vessels it had to the German Navy. Following the Monarchist events in Germany, the Fascist government in Poland establishes a comittee to investigate returning a monarchy to Poland.
 * Denmark: Danish troops continue to press the British on the northern flank in Jutland. Denmark begins to produce U-boats for use in both the German and Danish navies. The Fascist government established now begins petitioning the German government to allow Denmark to reunify and the government return to Copenhagen, but the German government refuses for now. The Danish government continues to insist that it is legitimate and that the United States should return Iceland over to Denmark.
 * Press my ass.
 * It says press, not defeat.
 * So what? 
 * Britain continues work on the nuclear project along with France.  To escape the massive German shelling of British positions in Schleswig-Holstein, air support is flown in, and is massively effective in destroying German convoys and such, but causes large air casualties to both sides. The Portugeuse are warned that the supporting of Germany in this war is seen as a breaking of our treaty, and Spain is declared war upon. With the HMS Hood now fully repaired and upgraded, it is sent up North with the HMS Prince of Wales, the HMS Illustrious, and the HMS York (a new Kent class Pocket-Battleship, developed only a half year ago), along with a large fast-destroyer screen and cruiser command, to destroy German sea shipments in Denmark. The Danish government is proclaimed illegitimate. The economy continues to rise as government spending does. With the North Sea nice and blocked up, some interest shift down south, where Indian troops are now sent from Gibraltar into Spain, FTW.
 * Colombia's president Alfonso López Pumarejo begins the organisation of a new political coalition, sending diplomats to improve relationships with Peru, Ecuador, Chile, and several Central American states. While officially the government has begun this process "to end wars in our fair continent once and for all", most people clearly know it is a measure of reaction against Brazilian influence, especially after the events that occurred in Venezuela throughout the year. While Colombia's government remains neutral in the conflict, members from the Conservative and Liberal parties both begin funding the uprisings in Venezuela. The economy is revitalised as prospecting of oil in the East begins, and Colombia requests the United States, Great Britain or any other major power to sell them some industrial blueprints or output, as well as weaponry, as the military begins to modernise.
 * American D: We will sell industrial blueprint and weaponry.
 * Colombian D: Colombia thanks the United States and purchases large amounts of both.

1940.5
'''In Sweden many rural citizens, who have been deeply Social Democratic for over 30 years, begin to resent Fascist rule, especially as the more illustrated people begin to notice the similarities between the large conquests Sweden is doing as of the moment and the large conquests that impoverished Sweden to a large level in the Eighteenth century. A part of it flee to the forests and take up arms. The Forest Brethren, a democratic-leaning guerrilla, is born.'''

Socialists secretly begin regaining influence in Catalonia, a heavily left-leaning nation, as they believe the Fascists have become too busy involved in the war, especially in Gibraltar.


 * Catalonia is on the western part of the country ...


 * No it isn't, it's on the far-east
 * You're right, what was I thinking. But why would the Spaniards be so focused on the east? There is nothing of important there.
 * Yeah, you're right. I got that wrong, too accustomed to Soviet terms, with focusing on the foreign being focusing on the West. Sorry!

'''While the French begin to stall the invasion, the Germans continue making huge movement into French territory. Orleans and Paris are placed under siege.'''

'''The Schleswig Front keeps holding despite pressure from both sides to the British. The colonies all send reinforcements to the area, strengthening the place. Neumunster falls. '''

'''Guns, this is important. You may have blockaded the North Sea, but not the Baltic. Besides, that shit is frozen over for a good part of the year.'''

'''I meant that You cannot leave the Baltic. Not that I control it. That one sea is ALL yours.'''


 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Brazil: With tensions still running high but no shots fired Brazil begins to establish some static defences along the Colombian and Peruvian borders. Along with this, however, the Brazilian generals continue to allow Brazilian diplomats sent from Rio to make overtures to the Coalition arrayed before them. Along with this, however, Brazilian forces are sent a communique by Venezuelan generals informing them of the emergence of a few rebel groups. Brazilian forces, now further bolstered, are moved into Venezuela at the request of the government to help on the Border. The Brazilian economy continues to expand but at a slower rate from the recent secondary military buildup. The new wave of carriers and battleships is continually worked on and many new destroyers and frigates roll off the lines for Brazilian military use and other being sold to Argentina and to Venezuela to a lesser degree. Brazil's major push to continue infrastructure slows down as more people are in the military and other private jobs so the infrastructural development is currently devoted to private companies. The Brazilian population reaches about 44 million with agriculture and a new cultural trend working towards having more than three kids as incomes can now support them. The population is expected to hit another big boom. Brazil continues to influence Paraguay and Uruguay using Brazil's stance of pulling both countries out of the Depression as a moderate Pro-Brazil demographic which has begun to develop in the population and the government of both. Brazil continues to send supplies to all nations as before. Brazil continues to make decent headway through its nuclear program expecting a workable bomb in the future. The Brazilian people settle down entirely as the war fever peters off and many see the government's attempt to keep the Peace. The Brazilian navy and air force continue to make major inroads in new technology with an unexpected breakthrough in jet technology. Radar, now more perfected than previous counterparts and able to diffrentiate better, is put on many ships and radar arrays are even erected in sensitive areas. Brazil begins to undergo training exercizes with Bolivia and begins to influence them.  Brazil also begins to fund double agents into Venezuela's developing rebel movements. The Brazilian navy officially develops its own special forces known as the "Espadas." They are taken from the best of the best and will serve alongside Brazil's other special forces units.  Brazil sends an envoy to Colombia wishing to end any further polarizing hostilities.
 * Argentina: Argentina continues to be very cautious but buys navy and army technology as well as developing the first semblance of an air force. Infrastructure is developed as well with the economy taking an upturn from the various people being put to work and many of the country's previous issues solved. The Argentinian government continues to influence Paraguay and Uruguay in favor of Brazil. However, a new Federalism and more unified movement between Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay has begun to develop as well. Argentina's population grows to about 14.5 million. Argentina officially develops its first special forces units.
 * Venezuela: Venezuelan forces, seeing the uprise of some dissidents and Brazil taking up some major positions on the Colombian border, begin to attack and wipe out some of the armed groups while letting some of the peaceful groups protest. The Venezuelan economy and infrastructure are continually improved with increased oil sales pushing the economy foreward. Venezuela also continues its own domestic influence publishing articles and studies which show the huge difference in income between Venezuela in the Great Depression and Venezuela now being highly allied and trading with Brazil. Venezuela continues to improve itself and a pro-movement develops heavily supporting Brazil, Argentina and their other various allies which greatly outnumber any other thoughts. Many people are extremely pro-Brazil with their lives being much more improved thanks to the trade. However, the government begins to notice a developing kind of civil war and manages to begin working its way towards preventing it from being bad but recognizing it will still happen. Venezuela develops its own special forces geared towards fighting insurgencies - among other things. Venezuela, seeing that the movement is more than likely funded by Colombia, begins funding a front from some of Colombia's most neglected and discontented citizens who have yet to recover or be helped from the Depression.
 * The influence part of my turn has been crossed out. Let's get rid of all this -Feud
 * ARE YOU HIGH??? 15.5 MILLION IN HALF A YEAR??? 
 * Sorry, that was supposed to be a 14.5 not a 15.5 (which is normal population growth)
 * Oh, TO 14.5. I thought you meant it grew by 15.5 million people, I was like WHOA.
 * Hungary: Continue to oppose the Czechoslovaks and try to use propaganda in Slovakia to cause a uprising, arging that they could had their own country. (If someone could explain me why I can`t be allied with Austria, it would be appreciated  - talk page or whatever you want.)
 * Slovakia is not a set region. The Slovaks have been spread throughout the nation.
 * Liberia: The military grows at a rapid pace, using the new European technology as blueprints to improve our weaponry and vehicles. Infrastructure improves, and many are happy, nationalism spreads heavily into Sierra Leone.
 * Austrian Empire: Austria asks Hungary if the two nations could unite once more, under the Hungarian player, as relations are high. The only terms are that Otto von Hapsburg would be the Emperor, while the Prime Minister would be the Hungarian leader.
 * No, you can't do that.
 * Mexico: Although El Comandante Rodrigo wishes to be working on peace between all Latin Americans, he offers support to Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. The three nations are given the information about our special agricultural techniques and we create trade pacts with them. The Mexican government also offers a project financed by all four nations and Honduras and Costa Rica. We make blueprints for a Nicaraguan canal, which will be used instead of the one in Panama. We will begin by connecting the Lago Nicaragua with the Pacific, creating the Nicaraguan Sea. After this, we will begin connecting the Pacific with the Atlantic. The project is planned to cost about 420 million Mex$. As the demographic expansion continues in Mexico, the government plans to build more and more apartments. A new plan is set in order to create cheap and effective ways. Although military training is not mandatory, all soldiers who finish it as of August, 15th 1940 will be given a semi-automatic gun, and will be listed as the militia. Even though most soldiers will have guns, they will need special permits to buy the bullets required. Due to the government's pro-Latino government, the embassy in Brazil asks for expansion. There are also formal requests sent to Argentina and Venezuela to open Mexican embassies there. The population in Mexico is slowly surpassing 20 million. Many new jobs are opened due to the rapid expansion of the Mexican infrastructure. The sovernment sends a formal request to Brazil asking for tank and aircraft blueprints in order to create unique Mexican aircraft and tanks. At the same time, original fireweapons are being worked on. As time progresses, obsidian mines are built. Using the obsidian, specialized scalpels are created, which are much sharper than steel scalpels. Obsidian is also used as jewelry, creating a new type of gemstone called Montezuma's Eye, which is the size of an eyeball, with a gray color and a black iris. A new company is founded, Tecpatl Industries, Tecpatl being an obsidian dagger. As the industry begins buying obsidian mines all over the world, a path for a new obsidian monopoly is opened.
 * Brazil Dip: We will provide Mexico with some blueprints, and will accept the expansion of the Mexican embassy.
 * Argentina Dip: We will accept the Mexican embassy glady. We are also willing to open up trade.
 * Venezuela dip: We accept the Mexican embassy and are willing to open up trade talks for oil as well.
 * Mexico: The government accepts these trade talks and trade offers. It also offers the three nations help with the Nicaraguan Canal.
 * Switzerland: The Swiss government protests the invasion of Luxembourg and hosts a government in exile. The government petitions the Germans to re-establish the nation of Luxembourg. The army produces another 30 Panzer I-s tanks and 25 Panzer II-s tanks to replace the German-bought tanks. The infrastructure is modernized. We begin to produce a modernized version of the Mondragon Assault Rifle, firing 7 mm ammunition, with iron sights, selected fire (single shot, semi-automatic, full automatic). It is better quality that the first Mondragon rifle with a tougher firing pin, ejection system and gas transfer system. They are renamed the Karbiner Model 1940. The first 1000 are produced and issued to replace the bolt action rifles.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany strongly objects to Switzerland's actions and demands that the government in exile is returned to Germany. They will not be harmed.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We disagree with the German statement, and offer to return the government in exchange for the formation of a join Swiss/German nation, politically operated by Switzerland, but militarily protected by Germany.
 * Czechoslovakia: War is continued with Hungary. We continue our Segregation program, and extend it so that any Slovak with two or more children has the younger children taken, unless they are over five years of age. Czechs take all high paying jobs, and Slovaks are forced into minimum wage jobs.
 * Norway: In the city of Longyearbyen on the island of Spitsbergen, there is a top secret base that is making prototype weapons, missiles and vehicles. Norways asks the Allies if they can join them. To up the population of Norway we ask families to have anywere from three to six children. With the incresing population, we draft more people to the border to keep Swedish troops from coming in. We also draft troops into the navy to keep our waters around our country safe. We are incresing our towns and cities to make them more urban to withstand the booming population. We only allow immigrants and refugees who are looking for jobs as in the military or in the factories.
 * Colombia continues influencing Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Panama and Costa Rica. The Colombian government begins the organisation of the South American Congress between these nations and Colombia in a year or two, to establish an alliance between the nations. The blueprints purchased from the United States are put into plan and an industrial movement begins within the major cities, Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla. The military is also updated with American weaponry. Alfonso López Pumarejo accepts the Brazilian envoys, and orders all politicians to "let bygones be bygones" and end investment in Venezuela.
 * Brazil Dip:Brazil offers to sign a Non-Aggression Pact with Colombia in an attempt to prevent war from marring the continent with the war that has been wiping out European cities.
 * Colombia D: Colombia agrees to the Non-aggression pact.
 * Britain continues work on the nuclear project along with France. We continue to advance on German positions in Schleswig-Holstein, but are distressed to note that Paris is under siege (algo coming). We declare war on Sweden and Czechoslovakia. With the HMS Hood now fully repaired and upgraded, it is sent up North with the HMS Prince of Wales, the HMS Illustrious, and the HMS York (a new Kent class pocket-battleship, developed only a half year ago), along with a large fast-destroyer screen and cruiser command, to destroy German sea shipments in Denmark The economy continues to rise as government spending does. The Spanish attack on Gibraltar is thrown back, but some in Parliament believe that the forces of Britain might be overstretched. The air force continues to be upgraded, with the Mk. IX Spitfire coming out - the fastest and most maneuverable plane on earth at this point, before jet engines. The Mk. VI Hurricane also comes out, and is devastating in SEAD operations in S-H.
 * Japan: following the success of the East Indies Campaign the entire of the Dutch East Indies lies under Japanese occupation with the locals welcoming the Japanese as liberators. The Japanese military and government agree to establish a puppet regime in the region with some areas indirectly controled through the local government and areas of strategic and economic importance under joint local-Japanese control. The State of the East Indies is proclaimed with Hamengkubuwono IX also known as HB IX the Sultan of the Yogyakarta Sultanate (look it up for reference) declared Hamengkubuwono  I sovereign of the East Indies. However, he is little more then a ceremonial figure. The propaganda machine in Japan goes into overdrive declaring the empire is one step closer to achieving the dream of a united and cooperative East Asia. Industrial expansion continues as does its modernization and upgrading. All research programs continue and the Japanese nuclear program begins working on tangible development as it now has radio active material supplied by the united states, work on splitting the material at a atomic level begins as does the work on trying to create a sustained reaction. The military looks on  this project with increasing eagerness. Japanese supplies to Bose increase and several Zeros are secretly sent as well. development into a better plane design for the jet engine continues. Naval expansion contiunes and Japan ranks the third largest navy in the world only behind the british and the Americans. construction of a naval base in Sumatra begins to allow the Japanese a local base in the region. The dragon tank proves a huge success and production of the tank as the main Japanese heavy tank begins with the first models sent to cCina to help the war effort. The opposition made up largely by the liberals push for a return of political freedoms and an end to the military sstate howver they remain a minority in a sea of conservatives and nationalist sentiment which back the military/conservative government which has brought so much success to Japan in a short period. Within the military the ultra-nationalists and extremists are annoyed at the power held by the moderates but can do little to oppose the mainstream group for now. Education programs are expanded.
 * Manchukuo: Industrial expansion continues and the manchu economy continues to grow making it the second largest economy in east asia with the first being Japan. A customs union between Japan and Manchuria is formalized and it is planned to adopt a new currency for oth nations within 15 years.
 * East Indies: The State of the East Indies is declared however this is a provisional government and name as the state is new and lacks proper structure, a government system and national name will be decided upon over the next few years. A provisional government in Jakarta (formerly Batavia) quickly  assembles and declares Mohammad Hatta Prime Minister of the East Indies and Sukarno Chief of Staff and head of the Royal Army which is raised in a hurry with Japanese assistence. Support for the regime and the Japanese occupiers is high as the majority of the population was tired of Dutch rule. The old colonial authorities and those dutch who wish to leave the east indies are granted safe passage to Europe or to were ever they see fit, while their property and wealth are handed over to the provisional government for distribution in the manner theey see fit. The oil industry of the East Indies is officially nationalized but is placed under the temporary joint management of the Japanese and the Provisional until a stable economy can be established in the East Indies can be established a similar process occurs with the rubber industry in the new state. volunteers for a labour force and for the new Royal Army is large as many young Indonesians are willing to try and build their own future for the first time in their life. This is permited by the Japanese as the actions taking by the provisional government are in alignment with the Japanese interests and provide an illusion of absolute autonomy. The government in Jakarta also passes a law legalizing the Japanese occupation until the Indonesian people can potect themselves from foreign threats and joins both the GEACPS. along with the EAPSP. The status of mixed bloods (Dutch-Indonesians) remains a problem and is widely debated amongst the population as they are a part of indonesian society but are a visible reminder of former dutch rule. Japanese troops for the moment act quite civilized in the East Indies though it is quite visible their feelings of superiority.
 * Confederation of China: support for the rebels remains high in occupied China. However, many sectors are alienated by the continued violence carried out by both the rebels and the Japanese forces and many wish for a simple end to the brutal fighting going on in China with deaths mounting in the millions at this point as neither side wishes to back down. Counter insurgency measures continue and are expanded. The Chinese army is finally fully reestablished under the confederation government and they begin helping the Japanese in operations against anti-Japanese forces.
 * Greece: The nation continues sending troops to the border within western thrace and the navy finally finishes the first carrier and begins to build a second and fourth. While this, the population grows reaching eight million people (not much bigger than OTL Greece population at the moment) and the industry and infrastructure of Greece begins to grow, waiting for foreign investers begin as the World war II continues damaging the economy of europe, while this, Britain is asked to allow for an eventually union between cyprus and Greece. While this, the panhellenic movement in Greece grows fastly calling for the unification of once Greek held territories and the formation of a Greek dominance in the Balkans. While this, Albania continues to be influenced, military and navy are built up.
 * Ethiopia: The government continues to industrialize the nation, expanding its network of roads, railways, and airports. The expansion of the military with modern equipment and weaponry continues, and the production of tanks and aircraft continues as well. The government seeks to expand the industrial protection of the major cities by attracting additional investment from overseas. On the political front, Ethiopia states its stance as a neutral country, determined to focus on expanding its assets at home, and avoiding bloody wars abroad. The Eritrean population has thus far been pacify, with the execution of their leaders, destruction of their cultural centers, and the dividing of their population across the empire. The military expands the navy, seeking to prevent the smuggling of weapons and equipment across its seas.
 * Brazil Dip:Seeing your nation trying to develop after the invasions and whatever else it has suffered Brazil is willing to help Ethiopia with its infrastructure and Industry with blueprints and selling it raw materials to fuel its development.
 * Ethiopian Reply: We are honored to receive your assistance, and welcome any and all support the people of Brazil may offer to us.
 * The United States continues to recover from the Great Depression due to the New Deal Act and the massive infrastructure projects. The Trans-Continental Highway System has reached the Mississippi River, connecting the Great Plains and Texas to the West Coast via roadway. The Independence Plan continues with the establishment of the Filipino Defense Force (F.D.F.), which is to help keep the island nation stable after the United States leaves in 1945. The United States continues research into nuclear physics and radioactive materials, while a secret message is sent to Japan, offering to have a joint-atomic program between the two Pacific nations to help create a stable Pacific and more friendly relations between the two nations. Research into jet engines and multi-fire rifle continues, while production of the B-1 Lindeburg (the long-range bomber). The P-51 Mustang continues to replace the aircraft of the United States Navy, Marine Corp and Air Force, due to its ability to have mutliple purposes. The occupation of Iceland continues, with the establishment of radar posts on the coast to help Britain with its war in the sea. The M-4 Sherman is nearly finished in replacing the aging armoured cars of the US Army and Marine Corps. Military, medical and humanitarian aid is sent to Great Britain and France to help support their war effort, with the convoys escorted by destroyers and cruisers that are equipped with radar to help detect enemy submarines and surface vessels. The United States begins to send secret military aid to Peru, Ecuador ande Chile to help combat Brazilian imperialism.
 * Germany: German forces continue to fight on all fronts. Production of weapons, vehicles, and supplies for the war effort continues. Following the Axis victory in central France, German morale increases greatly, and with the fall of Paris the rest of the Low Countries fall as well. Provisional governments are established in those areas, and the former governments are invited back to govern their lands freely. Production of Panzers, Me fighters, and U-boats continues, as well as frigates for the navy. "Stuka" bombers also continue to be produced and Fa 223 helicopters are produced in Poland and are used to supply the troops in France. The first prototype of the Panzer V is produced and passes all trials, except for a major teething problem in the gears. This problem can be easily fixed, but it will delay the initial deployment of the Panzer V by several months or a year. Development of jet engines continues, and engineers believe that they have thought of a design that would allow them to mount such engines on aircraft. Following this development, the Horten brothers modify their design to accommodate the superior speed of jet engines. Construction of the first flying bomb prototype begins in Pomerania. Von Braun begins to design a new liquid fuel rocket with a greater range, but it is not known how such a device would be guided. MP40s continue to be produced and are shipped to German battalions on every front, as well as to Poland. The nuclear research facility in Soviet Russia is completed and begins to research ways on how to produce unstable isotopes of Uranium. Some plans for parts are sent to Brazil for production there. The federal government reaches an agreement with the Monarchists of Prussia, agreeing to let the monarchy come back there on the condition that Prussia is divided into smaller states for administration. The deal is signed, and Prussia is split into several smaller states. Speer is interested in the Swiss offer and expects them to elaborate. Germany recognizes the independence of the Indies.
 * Poland: Production of Panzers, Me fighters, and Fa 223 helicopters continues. Polish troops continue to be trained. The Monarchy Commission decides in favor of a monarchy, and begins searching for the proper candidates.
 * Denmark: Denmark continues to press claims that Iceland is still Danish territory. Production of Me fighters and naval ships continues. Danish forces continue to fight against the British farther south.
 * Hungary: This post is under the assumption that Hungary is now an Axis puppet. If it is not, then disregard it. The nationalist regime under Regent Horthy is returned to power. German paratroops and tank divisions are placed in the country along with the Czechs in order to maintain the peace. Hungarian troops are supplied and trained, while investment begins to restore the infrastructure and industry of the nation.
 * Netherlands: The monarchy of the Netherlands remains in the country to help the people weather the occupation by German troops. A new Dutch armed forces is created and supplied and trained with Germany supervision. The Dutch navy is sent away to friendly ports further south to prevent its destruction by the Allies. The Netherlands asks for the Indies to return Dutch civilians and POWs back to the Dutch homeland while also recognizing the independence of the Indies. The government, also fearing of a repeat of Iceland, asks for the Brazilian government to occupy Dutch territory in South America until it can be properly secured.
 * Swiss Dip: Our offer to the Germans is this: the Swiss will ensure Luxembourg's neutrality and restarting the government, foreign policy, and arming a defense militia. The German government will ensure external defense and border security.
 * Brazil Dip: it will be done.
 * Belgium: The king of Belgium flees the country for Britain, and the provisional government decries him as a traitor to the nation. The king remains remotely popular despite this. German forces remain in the country to maintain order, while training of the new Belgian forces begins. A radio message is sent to Belgian territories in Africa, telling them to maintain their positions and to follow future orders from the Belgian government. Some units disobey this order, but some also comply, leading to some skirmishes in the area. The Belgian navy is also moved south to protect it from the British.
 * I will kill the person who forced us into source mode for this turn. The Soviets continue to fight the war on all fronts. The Soviet Air Force continues to bomb major locations in Britain as well as the Royal Navy near the Kattegat. Now-obsolete ships are crewed by small numbers of men who prepare the ship to blow up, come close to British ships, blow up the ships, but escape via plane before the ships completely blows up. They then fly to safe locations in Germany. This tactic successfully destroyed a good part of the blockading forces but sometimes costs one man per mission on a very rare occasion. However, this is only done in the winter for the sake of ease. The nuclear weapons program continues and the Polish People's Republic becomes the PSSR this year.

More events may come...
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. More Buddhist temples are built.


 * Brazil: The Brazilian government and President Getulio Vargas now with a NAP signed with Colombia breathe a sigh of Relief as they demobilize the Reserves. However Brazilian forces while remaining in Venezuela to provide support To Venezuelas increasingly beleagured government and armed forces attempting to hold order. The Brazilian forces however avoid moving into any cities and remain on call on when Venezuelan forces ask for them. The Brazilian Armed forces also lower troops numbers along the borders of Colombia and its coalition and draw back troop numbers and equipment numbers to much more manageable normal levels. The Navy is also demobilized with carriers coming home. The four carriers previously under construction are finished and deployed for testing with various battle groups. The Brazilians also continue major contruction on the four new battleships managing to speed up contruction by nearly six months by using experienced ship building crews from building the other Dom Pedro class battleships. The Admiralty of the navy decides that Protecting Carriers must take precedence due to their possibility as a strategic asset and ability to provide a massive amount of Indirect Fire support versus a battleships need for irect line of sight The Groups are made up of various Destroyers, Frigates, cruisers, and a Single Flagship group containing two battleships is made as well. Destroyers, frigates and cruisers are also continually contructed but with war looking like less of a possibility the Brazilian ship building companies dedicated to this seeing contracts being canceled begin to sell some of the ships to Argentina but halt sales to Venezuela attempting to curb any possibility that Venezuelan rebels could get ahold of many of these high tech warships. The Brazilian Armed forces hold steady at about 1.5 million now with the true blue recruits being used for many of Brazils new responsibilities such as training with allies, escorting shipping convoys. Brazil continues to influence Paraguay and Uruguay with the moderate Pro-Brazil demographic in both population growing as do pro elements in the government. Brazil takes special care in Uruguay working in close unison with Argentina so as to not alienate the nation. the same is done with Paraguay. Brazil continues to send supplies to all previous countries in Europe. The Brazilian infrstructure continues to be developed upgrading and paving taking place in the interior areas. The Economy continues its growth at a slower rate from the previous government spending but Reservist returning to their jobs begins to pick up some slack as Consumer industry begins to pick up with many consumer products becoming much more affordable to the average person. The Brazilian government becomes more democratized with Getulio Vargas becoming more disenfranchized with leading the country, being worn out from being under so many tense military and economic situations. He still continues to lead but looks to endorse a successor. Development of better radar continues and the better radars which ahve already been developed are fitted on some of the nations Capital ships improving their fire control significantly putting them on Par with British naval counterparts. Brazils research capabilities are more heavily devoted to Nuclear reasearch using it in conjunction with Soviet and German research to continue major breakthroughs in nuclear science. It is learned that specific Uranium isotope is required and the enrichment process previously underway is expanded. Some other scientists seeing practical application in power as well begin looking at that as well (which remains on track as you can split for power and split for a bomb in somewhat the same way). Aircraft production continues with the first major squadrons of Long Range bombers being completed. Brazils Population with the projected boom reached 45 million and expected to grow to nearly 50 million by 1946 (families are having 3 kids or more). At the Behest of the Netherlands Government troops are sent in to occupy and secure the Netherlands. However the Troops are used very rarely and the people are even provided with free creature comforts and supplies as their government cannot send any as of late, This manages to Win over key elements of the population to a larger degree and prevent rioting. Brazilian troops especially abstain from Violence and work closely with cooperating authorities to prevent incidents. Any Incidents between soldiers and civilians are punished harshly on the soldiers telling the troops these people are to be treated well. Brazil sends five suitable teams to Argentinas tournament. Brazil does more training with Bolivian troops on the border and looks to include Argentinian troops in the near future along with Venezuela. Brazil increases the ship amount in its merchant marine navy increasing naval trade to its new partner in Ethiopia working to deliver more raw materials. In Southern Brazil the industry develops some of its first middle class affordable, and Luxury automobiles under two separate companies of Carro do Povo, and Almeida industries which have recently both been created through joint investment by Brazilian, Venezuelan, and Argentinian investors. Brazil offers to purchase at least 100 of Germanies new Helicopters.
 * Argentina: Argentinas economy continues to grow as Brazils investment begins to pay off and some very rich Argentinians begin buying back stock in their own companies starting to balance out. The income balance between the Super Rich and the developing middle class decreases a bit with the Middle class able to afform much more creature comforts and push a more consumer economy by buying Brazilian products, and Argentinian cultural products. Argentina continues to buy Destroyers, frigates and cruisers from Brazilian contractors and begins domestic development with Brazilian oversight of a carrier, and a battleship for testing and trial purposes for the Argentinian navy. The Argentinian infrstructure also makes a landmark improvement linking up both a major paved highway for automobiles (which coincidentally are catching on) to Rio de Janeiro, and a major Railway which is being expanded. The Railway connects with Brazils interstate railway system integrating the two heavily and allowing major inroads in shipping. Argentina contineus to influence both Paraguay and Uruguay towards Brazil and Argentina bringing up despite some of the major cultural differences between Brazil and Argentina they have made huge progress in their economies and infrastructure and have made major inroads in international relations. Argentina offers Brazil to host a soccer tournament between various more elite teams as well as Venezuela. Uruguay and Paraguay are offered to send teams to the tournament as well.
 * Brazil Dip: We Agree and five teams will be selected for a tournament Venezuela will also be asked.
 * Venezuela Dip: We have four suitable teams that could be sent for this tournament and we will anticipate the victors.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela and its government now becoming more strapped as some other discontented people begin forming into two polarized parties such as the Venezuelan Socialist party and another more peaceful one dedicated into getting more liberalizing men into the government, a group of low ranking generals discontent with their positions begin plotting as well but are unable to get much of the high tech equipment bought from Brazil leaving them disadvantaged. These men begin considering allying with the Socialist party and disposing of them when they are done with a coup. Despite the underlying tensions in the country Economic advancement continues as the government works to appease the more peaceful protesters. This culminates in some more Liberal ministers working towards helping workers rights in the country with the government keeping a watchful eye. The Venezuelan loyal military men begin to grow more suspicious of their lower level subordinates and begin working on testing the loyalty of many of their men. A few generals even personally led troops in training exersizes and begin taking accountability for some of their mens actions with one General taking the lashings for a sergeant who hit a civilian. This to a degree begins to show improve the morale of many men and troops as well as loyalty as troops begin to look at their general as not an aloof man uninterested in them, but someone who is in the situation with them and is willing to take responsibility for his actions. Many Admirals begin to do the same thing with ships transferring knowingly loyal troops on some of the more important ships. The Infrastructure of Venezuela is improved with the country beginning to show more roadway connections into Brazil as well as a Railway working its way down as well. Four suitable soccer teams are sent to the tournament in Argentina.
 * Uruguay: With the economy heavily salvaged with great help thanks to Brazilian investment and Argentinian oversight the Uruguayan people while initially cautious of the influences looks to either of them and with high national pride puts themselves as equals to both the nations which Uruguay while realizing this is a bold move hopes for recognition from Brazil and Argentina. Uruguay also officially joins the SADL beginning to conduct training operations on the Argentinian and Brazilian borders with their own troops. The Populartion also begins to favorably look upon Brazil and its allies with majority of the people glad to be part of a growing an illustrious alliance. The Uruguayan infrastructure is expanded to link up with Argentinian and Brazilian roadways and railways in an attempt to further streamline economics between the three nations. Uruguays domestic economics is also worked on with agriculture taking on a prominent role, and certain specialized industries such as gold mining begin to be considered. Uruguay also opens up its first international bank inviting investors from Argentina, and Brazil as well as its own richer class to deposit.
 * Mexico: The Del Rio law has been written, stating that no man can hold both major positions in Mexico (El Comandante and El Presidente), and it is added to the Constitution of Mexico. As Rodrigo Valdes Del Rio steps down as El Presidente he is replaced by Pedro Iglesias Quezada. Due to the splitting up, new definitions were created for each position. El Comandante is primarily military leader who is chosen every five years and man can be chosen as El Comandante for five times during his lifetime. El Presidente retains the authority of a normal democratic president, being chosen every four years, with three mandates as a maximum during his or her lifetime. A new left-wing party is founded in Mexico, the Partido Communista Mexicano, which gains minor attention. The Mexican population reaches 21 million and a new two-child policy is prepared. All families in Mexico must have a minimum of two children. During this period, many oil factories are being nationalized and while that is happening the obsidian monopoly is rising. The Mexican government, through a public company, controls over 30% of all obsidian mines in the world.
 * Brazil Dip: We wish to work on military co-operation between our two nations.
 * Mexican Dip:  We accept the Brazillian offer.
 * Switzerland: The Swiss Government begins to aid the nation of Luxembourg with surplus equipment. Some people in the military and lower in the government propose joining the Axis Powers, but it makes it no further than discussion. They purchase another 100,000 Karbiner Model 1940 rifles and 15 new artillery pieces. The new highway system is put under construction to ease transportation. Rail lines are expanded to connect with Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Budapest. The army forms the National Defense Militia, seperate from the Army.
 * France refuses to surrender to Germany, and instead keeps pushing in a total war for it's life. All resources are devoted to halting the invasions.
 * Brazil Dip: We Realize this is frances fight for its life but we request that the French indeed consider a peace deal if not for its government but for the safety of its people. we can host such a peace conference in Rio De Janeiro or will help Host it in France if you accept. if you decline we understand we just wish to end this conflict with the least amount of lost life as possible.
 * French Dip: France will not surrender. It will consider a peace agreement if German troops leave occupied France, since it is they who are the agressors on foreign soil.
 * The USSR continues to fight in all fronts of the war. Troops are sent to aid fellow Axis forces everywhere. The Soviets roll out a new tank that should scare the enemy shitless, but there are still relatively few compared to older tank designs. In mid-March, the ship-to-ship bombing of British ships near the Kattegat ceases and bombers resume attacking the ships as well as London and other British cities. An estimated one and a half million civilian casualties were laid upon the British last year, with approximately 700 in Soviet losses. The bombing of Britain slows down somewhat this year to put more pressure on the French. Via Germany holdings in the Low Countries, Soviet bombers attacking retreating French lines to create pathways for the land forces. The nuclear program continues and the Baltic states are added as SSRs. Communist rebels are funded in lots of places like France and whatnot.
