Rise of the Arabs (Map Game)

 The Game continues 

In 1958 Egypt and Syria unify into a unitary state of the UAR which promptly collapses within 3 years. If they had made a devolved federal state giving each former constituent republic a great deal of power. How long and how big could it have got? Well you figure it out. The year is 1965, the UAR consisting of the former states of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and North Yemen are at high tension levels with Israel. America gets deeper and deeper into Vietnam, the Space Race is underway and the whole world is reeling in tensions from the Cold War.

Backstory

 * PoD: In 1958, Egypt and Syria create a federal state leaving devolved powers while establishing a basic constitutional framework of common foreign policy, defence and customs while Syria is established as a semi- democracy and semi army ruled state.
 * As Syria maintains a great deal of independence, the new government of Iraq joins the UAR in 1958.
 * The three states do well at keeping close together with Nasser of Egypt controlling foreign policy and aspects of defence (with each state having their own army) as well as the application of customs. A lot of support is given to Fedayeen units operating in the West Bank and Jordan with these units being supplied mortars and RPGs. Radio Cairo also spreads propaganda into Jordanian cities and the West Bank
 * PoD: Al- Badr fails to escape in the 1962 North Yemen coup and is caught and executed. The civil war never breaks out although there is still low level insurgency by the tribes with no leader to rally behind and so not much happens.
 * In 1963, a 19 man raid by the Fedayeen from the West Bank into Israel leaves 2 Israeli soldiers dead and 4 wounded leading to an Israeli retaliatory strike into the West Bank to clear out what they believe to be a major Fedayeen camp. The Jordanian army refuses to respond leading to an uprising in the West Bank against Jordanian rule, this uprising spreads into Amman where protesters have street battles with local police until a UAR tank division intervenes and strikes south over the border while after large bribes 2 of Jordan's senior commanders each with a brigade under their command launch a coup and declare the monarchy dead and they are now a part of the UAR. Actual fighting is limited and mainly some resistance by the tribes to the UAR occupation but low level.
 * Tensions continue to rise with Israel but no war as of 1965 while Arabs across the middle east and beyond especially in Libya and the Arabian peninsula are heavily agitated against their current British or monarch rulers.

The Game
 

1970.0
''' Violence in China contuines although with less intesity than previously with limited Soviet casualties as the Chinese don't respond and offer a peace treaty giving Manchuria and Xianjaing to the USSR and Inner Mongolia to China as the situation grows out of control in exchange for medical and food supplies as the government threatens to lose control. '''

''' Hainan falls to the US with a several thousand marines casualties. '''

''' In Sudan the army moves in and attacks rebel positions but fails to take them and requests UAR air support. While in Libya the coup is now more secure and manages to drive most of the rebels into the desert. '''

''' In South Vietnam, there is continued resistance to the US brutality but heavy suppression of movement between the 2 countries limits the flow of weapons. '''

''' As East Germany becomes open to reunification they enter talks with West Germany who are also interested and West Germany offers reunification with full democracy provided the US and USSR agree. '''

''' Weapons and men flow into Mexico from the USSR. '''

''' A clash between peaceful protesters and South African police leaves 40 dead with a number of children as they protest against teaching Afrikaans in school. '''

''' Having considered North Vietnam's offer at the end of the year, the United States tentatively agrees to the ceasefire terms suggested, and agrees to an Indochina ceasefire along such terms. Further, the United States requests the Soviet Union host a peace conference between both the US and its South Vietnamese allies and the North Vietnamese. The location may be decided upon by the Soviets with input by Hanoi, in order to give the North Vietnamese a concession due to their conciliatory attitude. '''

Turkey: The National - Democrat party forms and gains popularity. It seeks to fight the UAR aggression as the Arabs betrayed the Turks during the Arab revolt, and strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia. 50,000 troops are sent into Yemen to fight side by side with the Saudis.
 * Saudi Arabia:
 * (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. The new Whabbi Imam Hassan Ali Talib is known as the moving Imam as he is known for moving and giving out speeches across Arabia. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E. The King fear the aftermath of the war in China and says he heart is out for the people. secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture
 *   **Turkish Diplomacy:  Due to the fact that our top leaders doubt your nuclear program is peaceful,  our air force airstrikes your nuclear reactor to end the program.  This is not a declaration of war, but we do not trust Wahhabists with nuclear weapons and we certainly do not believe your program is peaceful, as you are wahhabi extremists. We this announce after these strikes that any attempts to ressume the program will result in more airstrikes.
 * (our "cold war")The Whabbi ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university. We send arms to Anti-Republic factions in N. Yemen and Jordan,and send 500 Saudi advisors under the cover of foreign fighters. Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas.  the Ghurban Al Sudan sets up at there own min state begin called the Emirate of Darfur and begin to dig in. The army begins to look for arms dealers to buy weaponry and begin to work on making a tunnel system to hide from UAR planes and to also ambush Sudanese troops. In Libya Ikhwan goes underground bombing military targets in cities and have non fighters members protest in the streets. as fighters flee into the desert rounding up with Dafurian fighters, with Libya on the brink on joining the UAR the group begin to set up rebel bases across the Libyan desert and begin to work on gaining support for the areas as the group begin to bomb troops coming into the desert, military troops that we apart of the group begin to sell weaponry to the Ikhwan. 


 * (South Yemen War )30,000 are sent in to counter any communist move in and push out Unionist factions out of Yemen,while the Ikhwan is sent to unite Anti-Unionist faction. Saudi planes use Chaff to counter MANPAD. As UAR troops and Unionist hold their ground to fight the Ikhwan we began "Operation Ramadan" as we begin a full-scale attack onto the Ziyadi having Saudi air cover and having troops target UAR heavy weaponry and pushing into the region, as the Ikhwan bomb roads and means to backup troops. The Saudi Navy is order to not fire unless fired upon. The Army begin to dig in as out air force is left out to do huge scale bombing run, but we use the Turkish airforce to bomb Unionist and UAR troops as all type of weaponry is used to hold land. More Missiles are sent to bomb Port Aden to hold troops from coming (but that won't last forever)The Turkish troops are sent to the front to back up Saudi and Ikhwani fighters as the area begin an operation called "House of Cards" as the army begins to march into hostile areas saying there goal is Aden  
 * ​What missile systems does Saudi Arabia have? the Royal Saudi Missile System was founded in 1986 OTL -Nate
 * I began a missile program early in the game -Bozi
 * United Arab Republic: President Nasser attempts to arrange a meeting with Gaddafi in person, and suggest the offer of incorporating Libya fully into the UAR. At the same time, Nasser requests Gaddafi utilize some of the military of Libya to help put down the insurgents in Sudan. In Sudan itself, a single bomber squadran and an infantry division is deployed in a military operation to blockade the Darfur region and starve the Ghurban Al-Sudan out. More economic support is given to the new government of Sudan, as well as the local government in the Darfur region, as the vast majority of the people and administration are found to be pro-nationalist. The minority Ghurban Al Sudan are simply criminals in the nation and are hunted down as such. The main fighter power and artillary remain in Yemen, where the now heavily-reduced Saudi airforce will be bombarded by superior airforce of the UAR. The navy remains in control of the port of Aden in a blockade, not firing on the Saudi navy unless fired against. As all non-nationalist support has been crushed in Yemen, the new Yemen government is de-jure annexed as a constituent state under the UAR. De-facto, however, the Saudi invasion of the north-central desert and bombardment of Aden continues to put struggle in the region. The ministry of state calls to Saudi Arabia to put an end to this senseless squander of lives and let the people of South Yemen decide their own destiny, as clearly they reject the idea of antiquated monarchy. They also condemn the pointless bombing of Aden, killing innocent lives as well as military, as barbaric actions by the Saudi Government, and shows the medieval tendancies of the Arab Monarchy. These kind of statements are broadcasted across the Arab world by the large media centers of Cairo. A movie begins to be produced in Cairo, staring Nadia Lutfi, Shadia, and Mahmoud El-Meliguy, titled Hundred Mile March, heavily used as propaganda to show the monarchies of the Arab world as villains stealing the rights of the Arab people. The tourist industry is more heavily pushed to compensate for increased military spending, while more domestic products are exported than before as well.
 * Libyan Arab Republic Dip: Gaddafi eagerly accepts Nasses Invitation for a formal meeting and agrees to the incorporation of Libya as a constituent state of the UAR.
 * what is up with this "as well as the local government in the Darfur region, as the vast majority of the people and administration are found to be pro-nationalist.", I've been invested in Sudan for a long time I doubt people would be Pro- Ba'ath without some people having oppsing views -Bozi
 * Just saying you influence things a few years doesn't make it actually happen. The fact is the region has no reason to suddenly change from nationalism to Muslim extremism, asside from the individual agents stationed there. -Nate
 * Saudi Dip: With the "news" report of the matter of S. Yemen and the Saudi so-called war crimes Radio Al Hawk is spread across the muslim world, calling the UAR communist that are godless and plot to destroy True Men of the Middle East, as daily news report across the muslim world call the attack on Dafur a "starve or join" tactic that anger people across the Muslim world . We also begin to push the idea that the UAR aids communist and begin to tell people what happen to Turkic people in the USSR, that cause fear among the people. We demand for the UAR to not back a non democratically elected government in Sudan and their calling of the rebels criminals. We also begin to call for support to protest the movie across the UAR from all Islamist Factions (as I've been invested in factions).
 * South Africa: We respond to these protests by releasing a press conference with President Bathalazar Vorster saying, "We do not know why they are protesting, do these fools not know Afrikaans is an official language." We will detonate Project Shaka Zulu next turn. We continue the war in our side of the continent. We see the middle east tearing itself apart. With this we begin to start oil drilling operations all across the country.
 * DDR:We accept reunification with west germany with the eastern border the oder neise line and with full democracy if the union of soviet socialist republics and the united states of america agrees we also send all except 100 borders troops to their camps and they will just look after the police so that they won't react inrationaly to the reunification
 * USSR dip: We support Germany's reunification as a neutral state.
 * United States dip (Copenhagen Longcut Wintergreen, to be exact): The United States is likewise supportive of both Germanies reuniting as a democratic neutral state.
 * DDR:We accept the border with denmark we now ask the great powers to accept the Treaty off Weimar Which states both germanies will reunify under control off the german democratic republic .It will leave the Warsaw Pact and become neutral. There will be elections every six years the allowed parties will be SED KPD SPD and the CDU. This will later after the government get more stable be changed to allow more political parties. The bunderwehr and the Nationale Volks Armee will become one army and will change logo and over time will get new uniforms the new name off the army will be Das Armee der Weimar Republik or in english the army off the Weimar Republic. The grenztruppen will become part off the army but as a border control force. We will also Keep the ban on the SRD. The last point off the treaty will also make the new country be named Das Weimar Republic or in English the Weimar Republic.
 * USSR dip: We agree
 * US Dip: The United States likewise ascents to the Treaty terms, and hope such a move brings about greater peace and prosperity to Europe.
 * Libyan Arab Republic: Gaddafi travels to Cairo in order to meet President Nasser for a formal meeting. Gaddafi also agrees to Nassere proposal to fully incorporate Libya into the UAR. Army Regiments are sent to areas Ikwhan-occupied areas, attackimg Ikwhan Bases in Desert Areas. Troops and aid are sent across the Libyan-Sudanese Border in order to support Gafar Nimerys Forces. The Libyan National Petroluemn Company is merged into the National Arab Petroleum and Natural Gas Service, completely nationalized and owned by the Libyan Socialist Union. The Libyan National Natural Gas Coporation is disbanded and it's assets frozen. Gaddafi begins to reform the Government Structure into a form of Arab Socialism and Arab-Nationlism. Arab Leaders are once again allowed into the country. Intensive reforms are implaced in order to transition into a Constituent State of the United Arab Republic. Gaddafi calls on Nasser to send military armies into both Sudan and Libya to end the distracting nuisance of the Ikwhan. Diplomatic relations are established with the USSR, proposing an arms deal. The Libyan Arab Republic requests admission into the UAR.
 * USSR: We agree to host peace talks in Moscow between Vietnam's and the United States. We step up support to Mexican leftist guerrillas who we encourage to enter the drug production and trafficking business as we believe this will allow them to gain power in Mexico because they will have money and people while annoying the United States. The KGB helps establish one single group as the leader of this planned leftist insurgency with their leader Jose Goyo who operates out of Cuba while his subordinates receive training before returning to Mexico with supplies where they start setting up drug rings paying farmers good wages to grow drugs while also recruiting people to fight for them. Propaganda in the form of leaflets and radio broadcasts are supplied to encourage the young to side with the new revolutionary party of Mexico. In the USSR we give funding to OGAS to create a nation wide connected information system with a central terminal at Moscow and smaller terminals across the country initially primarily west of Siberia. Peace is accepted with China and food and vaccines are provided as promised. The USSR sets about integrating their new territories with Manchuria made an Oblast and Xianjaing made into East Turkmeistan a part of Soviet Central Asia. As famine continues in Siberia we continue to keep food prices high to keep consumption low while food is moved into Siberia. Nuclear warhead production is contuined with exisiting facilties as well as work on new submarines to launch them.
 * United States of America: With a preliminary agreement to bring the Indochina War to a close, all offensive operations are immediately ordered halted as a ceasefire takes hold throughout the battle zones. For the first time since 1939, there is peace in the region and it is a most welcome one by the United States. In light of the positive steps forward by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the US immediately begins a draw-down of troop strength throughout Laos and the recently reconquered Hainan, allowing the Vietnamese to reoccupy the territory while allowing the government of Laos to reassert its authority on its own territory. The roughly 250,000 troops are re-positioned into Cambodia and South Vietnam, where a point system similar to WWII is instituted to figure out who should get shipped home first. Over the next few months, 300,000 troops will be sent home. With the drop of combat intensity, the Draft is scaled back to its normal Pre-War levels, although press controls will remain in place for the moment (This is partly due to the lingering issues from China).
 * Domestically, development of what is coming to be known as "The Long Game" nuclear strategy is continued apace with particular focus on the military and its abilities to continue a strategic struggle in a post nuclear environment. Reduced operational costs in Indochina allow for expedited procurement of newer ICBMs, with particular focus on bringing the new Minutemen II missiles online with serial production of such as a goal. Strategic studies of the China War showed that accuracy and to some extent reliability were an issue for US missiles, in particular the remaining stockpile of liquid fueled ones. With the solid fuel "IIs",  the US has also incorporated a larger warhead and more accurate targeting systems aide its strategic rocket force. One of the lessons drawn from the China conflict was that the strategy of largely limiting the rocket portion of Nuclear Triad to counterforce targets (With some notable, critical exceptions on targets of importance such as Beijing) while the bombers took out countervalue targets was a largely resource efficient combo, as the rockets could strike enemy air defenses and means of nuclear attack within 30 minutes, increasing the chance of bombers making it through and reducing possible damage to the US. As well, more money is pumped into the prospective Boeing contract to produce new batches of B-52s, with the current USAF order of 600 new airframes expected to begin production by the end of 1971. As well, the currently existing B-52s receive modernization packages. Increased Chaff and ECM abilities are added, in light of the growing threat of SAMs while the tail gun is strengthened in its punch and by increased use of targeting computers to aid in accuracy. Development on the XMBT-815 continues, with the injection of funds allowing the US to move up expected proto-type date to sometime in 1975.
 * Domestically, the situation is eased when it becomes clear the Chinese have no hope of responding further while the Vietnam War appears at a close and voting rights are now a reality for Black Americans. It appears to many that things are finally on the upswing for the US after the last several years, and the national mood reflects such. Having vowed to "Make Anchorage and Honolulu Great Again", US rebuilding efforts in the two States led by FEMA continue apace, although the situation for the locals remain stressful given their current residence in temporary housing. Along the Mexican border as well, the current instability has driven a refugee crisis, with many Mexicans escaping the escalating violence in their nation. To this end, many a National Guard unit in the States find themselves along the border pulling security operations that many were intimately familiar with from their time in 'Nam. The fact they are doing so now in the US is disturbing to many, but for now the situation remains just a minor irritant. Domestically, President Rhodes begins to advocate for the adoption of a Negative Income Tax at the urging of economist Milton Friedman. On another bit of domestic policy expansion, the study on Ammonia as a fuel source is dropped due to a lack of favorable power outputs but the report on MSRs shows promises and is expected at the end of the year. On the corporate front, the Datapoint company elects to hold on introducing the Datapoint 2200 terminal until Intel finishes developments on their new microchip. In the meantime, the Xanadu project under Ted Nelson is given increased funding and focus, thanks to some interest from the Department of Defense.
 * On the previously mentioned topic of veterans of the war, a small scale movement begins to be noticed among returning troops that would be instantly recognized by career soldiers of the old German Reichswehr. Having spent years in the Jungles of Southeast Asia, intense bonds of comradeship have developed among the troops and this has been strengthen by the extreme hostility they faced returning home by the Peace movement's remnant. There is an intense feeling of alienation from society at large, with many attesting to ideas not to far different from those once advocated by Ernst Junger (Whose materials do gain a surge in popularity in the US at this time, largely as a result of the aforementioned), in that war is viewed as their transcendental experience and that they are more comfortable within a militaristic environment than they are in trying to deal with a civilian world that doesn't understand the issues they face. To this end, many veterans form what come to be informally called Warriors Clubs, which while primarily used as bonding times at such places as bars and such, come to be staging grounds for a developing ideology that advocates for increased militarization of the US and intense nationalism in the face of a changing world. In the words of several of the nascent intellectuals of this movement, their movement advocates for the mobilization of the US along militaristic lines in order to mobilize the full abilities of the public and private sector to achieve the American dream for all (And especially veterans) and to ensure the continued dominance of the US as a military power. The movement is virulently Anti-Communist as a result of their experiences, and there is some minor push for conflict with Cuba and intervention of Mexico to both eliminate the threats while "Extending American prosperity" (Annexation of said lands). Given the support of the USSR in ending the Communist Chinese threat, the movement does however so signs of being be pragmatic if it serves American interests to be so. On the whole, however, the movement remains small for now.

1970.5
''' The Saudis gain a working nuclear reactor which is attacked and damaged by the Turkish air force. (Warrior agreed to this) '''

how does Turkey know where my reactors are-bozi

They are very large, give of lots of energy and radiation- Person

as in being large here you so i could hide them looking at its size-bozi

Ok that isn't that small plus it gives off radiation as it has no shielding and needs people around it to build it. I mean Turkey would have intelligence about a program of this scale. If you do it in the desert it is easy to easy and if you do it in the city well people can see it being constructed. Person

''' Saudi Arabia besieges Aden as UAR troops are hauled up inside of the Port of Aden holding off Saudi attacks in despite of casualties from strikes. Much of the coastal regions are held by the Arab forces while the others by the Saudis. (Is that more sensible) '''

 Libya joins the UAR with Gaddafii remaining in power while fighting in the desert continues 

''' In Sudan the Dafur state is crushed turning it back to a low level insurgency. '''

''' Peace talks continue in Moscow about Vietnam. '''

''' Serious temperature drops occur in Asia due to the nuclear war. '''

''' Drug trafficking from Mexico increases led by the RPM who recruit a lot of new members. '''

''' East and West Germany unify under the terms proposed by East Germany. '''
 * Weimar:We hand back power to the former leaders off the DDR which now doens't exist annymore and we welcome all nations in the world to make new relationships with the west and the we also ask the non alliglined movement if we can join them and make it an actual block with an army. We also ask nations help us create our own space mession to set a person into space . We ask austria if they would like to join us as a new province: the province off Austria. We will also have elections in 2 years .Our motto is changed to "Deutschland Einig Vaterland" also know as the DEV. We also break down the wall and our Capital will stay berlin. All bundeslandes will stay but now under the name off provinces also all administrative divisions in te former ddr will become provinces with the exeption off east and west berlin which is the capital
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We request diplomatic relations begin.
 * United Arab Republic: In Yemen, the military mostly installs an occuption force over the western half of South Yemen, acting as de-facto control. Saleh becomes leader of the constituent state of South Yemen within the UAR more fully. A small task force of fighters, infantry, and tanks are sent into east Yemen, but the vast majority of troops holds the occupied territory. In Sudan, the UAR offers to retain Sudan's indepndence, but in light of possible future insugencies, offers to keep it in military and economic protection to ensure its unity and stability. In Libya, Gaddafi is made leader of the nation as a constiuent state undert he UAR. The Libyan army begins modernization to put it more on par with the miltiaries of the rest of the Middle East. The Hundred-Mile March is released to theaters in Egypt and Syria, and is immediately a best-selling hit in the Arab world. Arab nationalist propaganda is spread by radio and television to Algeria, in light of their new independence from France. In September, tragedy strikes when Gamal Abdel-Nasser passes away, and a new election is held. Anwar Sadat wins the election with 90% vote, to no one's surprise. In a speach, Sadat describes that he is going to continue the dream of Nasser in working towards uniting the Arab world, but he wil pull back on some of his more extreme policies toward Socialism and international aggression. Having secured all of South Yemen but the eastern deserts, the UAR asks Saudi Arabia to negotiate an end to the war, allowing the eastern half to remain independent if they choose by referendum, in exchange the Saudi will withdraw their troops from Yemen and Sudan. Industrial technological imporvement continues, and students are sent to Europe for foreign exchange missions. In response to the Saudi nulcear project, in spite of its lack of human resources, the UAR immediately begins working on its own nuclear program based in Aleppo to research nuclear power. The population stands at 65.7 million.
 * Saudi dip: we are willing for peace talks for S. Yemen.
 * Mod: Sudan asks Arab troops to pull out and remain it's independence although it consents to work closely with the UAR.
 * South Africa: WE DETONATE PORJECT: SHAKA ZULU IN SOUTHERN NAMIBIA. A mushroom cloud looms over the test sight as a Nagasaki sized explosion rattles the desert. We are the most powerful nation on the continent. We threaten any rebelling Bantustans destruction with this weapon. We begin to produce more bombs. We also continue to have success on the bush war in Rhodesia and the Portuguese colonies. We plan a great offensive to drive. (Mod Response): We demand Botswana to let South African troops and agents sweep through the country.
 * USSR: We keep providing support to Mexican leftist groups who we encourage to traffic drugs and arm themselves allowing them to gain control over the countrysides while in the towns they carry out a propaganda campaign and assassinations of low level soldiers, policemen and judges are carried out. The first of the new Ural class of ballistic missile submarines is created giving the Soviets an increased strike capacity. While work on updating our air forces with production of the MiG-23 starts. An increase in the production of consumer goods is attempted with increasing production of televisions and more variation being added to the Soviets supply of television programming while work on constructing OGAS across the country is started. As temperatures continue to remain low in Siberia we keep food prices high while many of the Siberians are evacuated and moved to the west of Russia to work in factories producing consumer goods.
 * Turkey: President Cevdet Sunay joins the national democrat party. M48 tanks, the best tanks in the Turkish Army, and being studied, and we begin to reverse engineer M48 tanks. In order to allow the situation in Yemen to calm and fear of Saudi retaliation for the strike on the power plant, we withdraw our forces from Yemen. The upgraded M48 tank is being produced as Kemal 1 tanks. The Kemal 1 has simplified electrons but stronger armor (it has primitive Counter Explosive armor). Many believe that Turkey is beginning to distance further away from it's Nato allies and favor non alignment. Kurdistan is made an Autonomous region governed by a Kurdish leader. This is done as a pro democracy move to prevent insurgency. However, power still remains in the hands of Ankara.  Nationalism is on the rise. There is a public outrage against Saudi Arabia, when it was found out that they funded a Turkish Ikhwan branch that threatened Turkeys secular nature. This causes widespread Saudi Flag burning in Ankara and Istanbul, and many push for war. However, an equal number want peace. Back to the arms industry, Turkey begins laying out plans to produce a fighter jet. F4 Phantom designs are studied, and the intent is to build a reverse engineered F4 Phantom fighter. Cevdet Sunay lays out Vision 2030, a plan to turn Turkey into a world superpower by 2030. The paper says the UAR and Saudi Arabia are the primary threats to the goal of Turkey. It also states that it must develop an indigenous arms industry and space program in order to survive. However, the space program plans have not materialized yet.
 * United States of America: The US continues talks in the Soviet Union with the North Vietnamese, and proposed peace pretty much along the lines requested by the North. The US will abandon Laos to become a puppet state of the North as well as accept their expansion into the former People's Republic of China in exchange for recognizing the South and cutting ties with the Viet Cong along with the same for the Pro-Western regime in Cambodia. The US will also provide $15 Billion in economic aid for five years in order to help rebuild the war damage and make it more profitable for the North to continue peace with the US and its Allies. The US also requests remaining Catholics and Anti-Communists, along with any POWs be released, as well as any Laotians who wish to escape the expected coming Communism.
 * Elsewhere in the World, the formation of a united neutral Germany requires the US to begin a withdrawal of its 250,000 force stationed there previously as part of the past US strategy of providing a conventional barrier to Communist expansion along the North German plain. With France also outside the NATO structure, NATO's position within Western Europe appears to be largely irrelevant and to that end, the United States requests expanded basing rights in Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom to maintain the viability of the defense of those NATO nations. The expected force size for each new deployment is to be 60,000 with the grand total of 180,000 to remain in Europe. The remaining 70,000 are to be returned to the United States for stateside duties, largely along the Mexican border.
 * Domestically, the development of the new strategic theories continue apace, as does the development of the XBT-815 and coming re-start of the B-52 line along with continued purchasing of more ICBMs and NIKE missiles. In the far north, the early warning sites are brought back into use combined with SAC's more modern systems gives the US a superb early warning system. With the draft back to normal, civil rights and the US slowly disengaging itself around the World, it is hoped an era of peace will soon be upon the United States. Lower temperatures, higher cancer rates and reduced crop output due to the China conflict along with the stress of the Vietnam era had placed the American system under strain, but is now hoped these can be put behind them. To that end, focus shifts to some other areas in domestic policy.
 * Under the advisement of Charles Townes, NASA is to continue with a full fledged APOLLO Program while also completing the Skylab project advocated for by some. With secured funding, APOLLO missions are expected to continue at least into the 1980s with a hoped for semi-permanent base on the celestial body by 1985. Skylab, as the first space station, is hoped for by 1976. Elsewhere, feasibility study on Molten Salt Reactors comes back with positive results, advocating for them due to their incredible safety and ability to use a greater pool of nuclear resources (Including nuclear waste) as fuel sources. To this end, Alvin Weinberg is offered and accepts a seat on the Atomic Energy Commission to begin procuring designs and planning for the introduction of the design into both military and civilian uses. Meanwhile, the Datapoint corporation continues to wait for Intel's microchip with development on Xanadu under Ted Nelson continues.
 * Having it put on the back burner, President Rhodes announces the Family Assistance Plan as his domestic policy goal for the year and so begins to martial support for it on capital hill. The FAP, as it is known, combines most welfare programs that are designed to aid the family along with increased funding in order to provide a guaranteed annual income (GAI), designed to help offset costs of living for them as to ensure a decent life. It proves a tough fight for the President, but by the end of the year the legislation is passed. He also, as a compromise, begins means testing of all social services in order to appease conservatives.
 * Tamil Tigers: we start Bombing Ceylon bases and other government building in hopes for a Tamil Ceylon, with help form gangs, we buy Madsen machine guns, Madsen M-50s, M72 LAWs  FIM-43 Redeyes, BM-21 "Grads 152 mm, gun-howitzer M1955s, 9K35 Strela-10s and 10 Soko J-21 Jastreb.

Back again? I just pulled back the army to fortify the occupied territory. This is getting ridiculous ~Nate

Look it's a war I can't have both sides win. I don't know what either of you are doing or anything about South Yemen, I don't know what Bozi's doing or you. Bozi says you don't even hold all of the Zayidi region. Bozi has been attacking Aden for a while he takes it and he loses a lot of troops. You still hold all the rest of the coastal plains.

 * Tamil Tigers:  we ask the USSR and China For Pilot Training and 20 MIG 17s and 20 Shenyang J-6 (Reposned needed by both nations), we captured Nawa Madagama and Walapane, we also start making Armoured Fast attack boats.
 * USSR dip: We currently decline to support the fighters.
 * Mod China dip: Due to the bad situation in China we decline to support the fighters.
 * Hellenic Republic: Hellas leaves NATO. Hellas begins major construction works to improve the existing infrastructure system in the three largest cities of Athens, Thessaloniki and Patra, using the Mixed Groups Machinery Reconstruction and volunteering citizens as workers. Three huge golden sculptures depicting Pyrrhus of Epirus of the antiquity, pointing to South Italy, Peloponnese and Macedonia with their swords are constructed next to each other in the largest square in Ioannina. A Prime Ministal Office is opened in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece often regarded as "Simproteuousa" meaning co-capital, which Prime Minister George Papadopoulos schedules to visit once a week. More hard-line commies are arrested and exiled to Makronisos "Long Island" as enemies of the state, who are also branded terrorists. However we loosen our repression of the Socialist and Leftish people to improve our popularity. However the government adopts a different approach on socialism to ensure higher approval ratings by its people. Some socialist measures are adopted along with the Labor Unions reopening but under direct state control. To ensure the support and hapiness of its people the government adopts Nationalist Propaganda tactics similar to Nazi Germany's, creating the Propaganda Ministry, with Prime Minister Papadopoulos appointing a very capable and loyal man as Minister of Propaganda. Prime Minister George Papadopoulos also compiles his ambitious plan to make Hellas self-sufficient on military equipment and armament, by developing an industry capable of doing that. Contacts are conducted with Greeks abroad that have access to the tech or have the speciality to develop military equipment and especially tanks. We start constructing 5 MiG-21 Generation 2 plants with Soviet help. The Fleet is deployed in the Aegean Sea and Northern Cyprus while 20.000 troops are deployed in Thrace in the Turkish border and began the construction of a defensive line using the river of Evros as a natural shield. Prime Minister Papadopoulos asks for a referendum to be conducted in Cyrpus for a union with Hellas. (Mod Response) The government conducts meeting with the veterans of the National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters to ensure their support to unite Cyprus with Greece. (Mod Response) We ask Turkey's to not intervene offering them to joint develop and exploit the gigantic Oil and Gas reserves in the Aegean and Cyprus as well as to handsomely reward and will also compensate every willing Turk in Hellas to resettle in Turkey. President Papadopoulos understands the graveness of the Radical Islam and the threat that it poses to his nation, thus he asks its strongest rivals, the UAR, for an alliance to secure the future of Hellas.
 * UAR dip: We accept alliance.
 * Hellenic Dip: The Hellenic Republic sends a platoon of his special forces to help the UAR against Saudi Arabia.
 * Turkish Dip: We agree.
 * The Hellenic-Turkish Oil & Gas corporation is founded with 50%-50% Hellenic and Turkish participation and with capital from both nations it begins exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Aegean Sea for now.
 * Hellas demobilizes its troops in Western Thrace.
 * Further Turkish Dip: Seeing Saudi Arabia as a threat to our secular and nationalist way of life as well, we request that we join your alliance with the UAR.
 * Mod: The republic of Cyprus will only agree to a referendum on having a union with Greece if the Turkish agree to allow this referendum and recognise it so not to inflame tensions. The Cypriot fighters give their support to the Greek government.
 * Turkish Dip: We agree to referendum.
 * Hellenic Dip: George Papadopoulos, whom is a very ambitious men, seek to counter the threat posed by NATO and the Warsaw Pact by creating a Third Bloc, a Nationalistic one where Nationalist nations can work together for mutual benefit, against the 2 huge military alliances of NATO and the Warsaw Pact and he firmly believes that to survive in this chaotic world the only way is cooperation. So he invites the United Arabian Republic, Turkey, Spain, South Africa, Weimar Republic, Yugoslavia to be the founding members of this great organization and ushering a new era.
 * Turkey suggests to the hellenic republic that we invite the Weimar Republic (Germany) as it is non affiailited into our bloc.
 * Hellas agrees.
 * USSR dip: We offer to construct a MiG-21 Generation 2 plants in exchange for food and fossil fuels.
 * Hellenic Dip: We accept the USSR offer and offer the USSR an alliance.
 * USSR dip: We agree to an alliance.
 * Saudi Arabia:
 * (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E. The King fear the aftermath of the war in China and says he heart is out for the people. secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture. Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies. The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men
 * (our "cold war")The Whabbi ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group goes underground as hardcore members go into hiding in the desert while other go back to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya on the brink on joining the UAR the group begin to set up rebel bases across the Libyan desert and begin to work on gaining support for the areas as the group begin to bomb troops coming into the desert, hardcore members go into hiding in the desert while other go back to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that,
 * (South Yemen War )30,000 are sent in to counter any communist move in and push out Unionist factions out of Yemen,while the Ikhwan is sent to unite Anti-Unionist faction. Saudi planes use Chaff to counter MANPAD.  The Saudi Navy is order to not fire unless fired upon. The Army begin to dig in as out air force is left out to do huge scale bombing run, but we use the Turkish airforce to bomb Unionist and UAR troops as all type of weaponry is used to hold land. More Missiles are sent to bomb Port Aden to hold troops from coming (but that won't last forever)The Turkish troops are sent to the front to back up Saudi and Ikhwani fighters as the area begin an operation called "House of Cards" as the army begins to march into hostile areas saying there goal is Aden. With the capture of Aden the army halts and begin to dig in as 10,000 more troops are sent into S.Yemen. A army of 20,000 Saudi and 20,000 Turkish troops are sent to attack other areas controlled by the UAR and Unionist.
 * I withdrew from Yemen. - Warrior
 * ​UAR: We ask ceasefire while we negotiate peace
 * Saudi: we accept the cease fire deal
 * Yugoslavia: We continue to promote a single union of one salvic race. Factories are still poping up around urban areas. Rural populations continue to migrate as farms become more mechianized.
 * Hellenic Dip: We ask Yugoslavia for jointly beneficial trade agreements.
 * UAR dip: we ask to export natural resources to you
 * Hellenic Dip: We accept and offer to export you Oil and Gas from the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea at prime prices, as soon as our Oil Wells and Gas Fields finish construction. Also we offer to export you fruits, vegetables and fish.
 * Yugoslavia dip: We accept
 * Hellenic Dip: We invite Yugoslavia to become a founding member of the Nationalist Military Alliance.(Name will be decided by voting)
 * United Arab Republic:  The military continues to work to secure the occupied territory in Southwest Yemen. Capitalizing on the sparse population of Saudi Arabia, being unable to support a long-term war, Sadat begins establishing a long-term strategy for the occupation of the region, and continued bombardment of fortified Saudi positions, especially in Aden. This strategy relies on recruitment and partial draft of military from across the UAR, including the new territories in Sudan and Libya. The  Amman Accords  are offered as official peace agreement by the ministry of state. Algeria is offered to be a constinuent state of the Republic, or alternatively as a strong ally. Sadat sees a flaw in the Arab Republic as an over-emphasis on a one-party system. To that end, he organizes an opposition in a bi-party system known as the National Democratic Party (NDP). The miltiaries of Libya and Sudan are organized and modernized to the point they could be on par with the rest of the Republic, so as to properly battle back the new insurgencies. With industry continuing to grow, cities in Egypt and Syria resemble more western cities than ever before. With the new alliance from Greece, the UAR expands its export trade into the Mediterranean. The nulcear program in Aleppo continues to make good progress.


 * Saudi dip: we call for a cease fire with the UAR, as peace talks happen
 * Hellenic Dip: We offer the United Arab Republic to joint develop and exploit the gigantic Oil and Gas reserves in the Mediterranean Sea, as that will also enable us to create economic ties and improve relations, except from the obvious economic benefits.
 * UAR dip: We agree to this offer of explotation.
 * The Hellenic-Arabian Oil & Gas corporation is founded with 50%-50% Hellenic and Arabian participation and with capital from both nations it begins exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea.
 * Hellenic Dip: We invite the United Arab Republic to become a founding member of the Nationalist Military Alliance.(Name will be decided by voting)
 * Turkey Fully Supports the peace treaty and offers to mediate it.
 * Hellas also fully supports the peace treaty and offers to co-mediate it.


 *   Turkey:  More Kemal 1 tanks are built. The F4 Phantom design continues to be studied for future reverse engineering.  In a shocking turn of events, Turkey announces it's departure from NATO.  The reason of that is because it wants more independence from the west. (SECRET): WE OFFER SOVIETS TOP NATO SECRETS IN RETURN FOR A MIG FACTORY TO BE BUILT IN TURKEY.


 * USSR: We agree to help the Turkish build a functioning MiG-21 Generation 2 plant in exchange for NATO secrets of some form.
 * Turkey: We agree. We send you many classified documents exposing thousands of western spies. We also send you documents showing you hidden Nato positions. In a sign of goodwill, we send you an F4 Phantom of evaluation as it contains the latest US radar tech.
 * Hellenic Dip: We also ask the USSR to help us build a functioning MiG-21 Generation 2 plant in exchange for fruits, vegetables, fish, Oil and Gas from the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea, as soon as our Oil Wells and Gas Fields finish construction.
 * Hellenic Dip: We invite Turkey to become a founding member of the Nationalist Military Alliance.(Name will be decided by voting)
 * Turkish dip: We agree.
 * Weimar:We ask Yugoslavia and and all other NonAligned movement member if i can join it and talk about reforms off it
 * Turkish Dip: We have just left Nato, so we are interested in an alliance of some sort.
 * Hellenic Dip: We invite the Weimar Republic to become a founding member of the Nationalist Military Alliance.(Name will be decided by voting)
 * Weimar dip: We accept and i would ask if you want to buy some DDR tanks
 * Hellenic Dip: We agree to purchase 100 German DDR tanks.
 * Turkish Dip: We would like to purchase 50 Leopard 1 tanks as we are researching technology to build new tanks.
 * Weimar:We accept the deal with turkey if we get a base near adrianopel and adana we also wil allow greece to get 50 leopard 1's if we get a base on chania crete
 * USSR: We agree to host peace talks in Moscow between Vietnam's and the United States. We step up support to Mexican leftist guerrillas who we encourage to enter the drug production and trafficking business as we believe this will allow them to gain power in Mexico because they will have money and people while annoying the United States. The KGB helps establish one single group as the leader of this planned leftist insurgency with their leader Jose Goyo who operates out of Cuba while his subordinates receive training before returning to Mexico with supplies where they start setting up drug rings paying farmers good wages to grow drugs while also recruiting people to fight for them. Propaganda in the form of leaflets and radio broadcasts are supplied to encourage the young to side with the new revolutionary party of Mexico. In the USSR we give funding to OGAS to create a nation wide connected information system with a central terminal at Moscow and smaller terminals across the country initially primarily west of Siberia. The USSR sets about integrating their new territories with Manchuria made an Oblast and Xianjaing made into East Turkmeistan a part of Soviet Central Asia. As famine continues in Siberia we continue to keep food prices high to keep consumption low while food is moved into Siberia. Nuclear warhead production is continued with existing facilities as well as work on new submarines to launch them. We set to work building up factories in Greece and Turkey. We continue producing televisions in larger numbers which many in the cities can access.
 * United States Diplomacy: The US proposes an agricultural deal to the Soviet Union, of providing grain shipments are favorable rates since much of the damage to Siberian farming is an indirect result of the Sino-American war.
 * USSR dip: We thank the US for this fair deal.
 * United States of America: The United States continues its global adjustments in light of the near collapse of the NATO alliance and the end of the Vietnam War. Given the ongoing chaos in Mexico, however, the US reinforces the Southern border with several formations of troops in order to prevent the spread of violence as well as to contain and process the flow of refugees pouring in from the violence torn nation. The Department of Defense as such begins to formulate strategic planning in case an intervention is required. To this end, several additional divisions are deployed along the Southern border but held in reserve, ready to be activated and used in a general offensive into Mexico.
 * Domestically, President Rhodes elects to not run for another term and instead it is generally agreed within the GOP that former Vice President Richard Nixon will be the party nominee while it is expected Robert F. Kennedy will be the Democratic nominee. Development of the XMBT-815 continues, as does the efforts of Boeing to restart B-52 production which is expected to occur soon. In the civilian world, the same goes for Xanadu, the intel 8018/8080 microchip, and the efforts of the AEC to bring about Molten Salt Reactors. The strategic refocusing of the US military and society at large in the face of increased nuclear threats also continues. The UHC passed by President Johnson in 1965 is reformed to use a voucher system, making it more efficient, cost-effective, and reduces the bureaucracy in Washington.

''' Greece, Germany and Turkey all get closer together working to secure arms and deals. While Cyprus votes to accede to Greece this starts a race war with some Turkish Cypriots choosing to leave while others fighting back and forming a guerrilla force. Many in Turkey feel they should not allow their fellow Turks to go unsupported. '''

 Peace negotiations occur over South Yemen occur as part of the Amman Accords (Rise of the Arabs Map Game) 

''' North Vietnam signs the treaty of Moscow recognising South Vietnam while Laos and expansion into China being allowed as well as acceptance of US aid packages which are needed with the crippling famine. With North Vietnam pulling out and the US contuing to support South Vietnam the insurgency continues at a low level but many give up as without US food they are in trouble. '''

''' Fighting in Sudan and Libya continues albeit at a low level. '''

''' The Tamil Tigers go on the offensive making ground. '''

''' Drug trafficking into the US from Mexico increases while violence within Mexico increases as the guerrilla groups are underground making it hard for the government to target these groups in Dirty war while violence is carried out by the main group with murders and bombings while violence in the rurals between drugs gangs and government is sporadic. '''

''' Qatar and Bahrain become independent of the UK. '''

'''OOC: In the previous turn, Turkey claimed to be reverse engineering F-4 Phantoms and to have delivered advanced US radar tech to the Soviets in secret. This is impossible to have occurred, as the US did not export F-4s to Turkey until ''August of 1974 IOTL. ''Given I, as the US player never did authorize exports period (Nevermind earlier), that should be taken into account. As a side note, I'm highly skeptical of how Turkey, which has less industry as well as scientific knowledge of the combined might of France and West Germany, is somehow seeking to produce indigenous Leopard Is in the space of a year when it took the aforementioned European nations nearly a decade together to begin production. Further, the Soviet Union IOTL had only conducted basic research into ERA in the late 1960s, with the first test in 1969. It was not deployed in regular unit usage by the Soviets until 1985. The fact Turkey/Greece somehow managed to get fully working copies in 1971 is rather unlikely, to put it mildly. - GBUSA'''

Hmm... My error about the Phantom. About the Leopard 1, I will just delay when I reverse engineer them. Now, designing a tank is much more difficult than producing one, so I don't think it will take a decade for me to start production of Leopard 1, as I am not designing the Leopard 1 myself, I am copying it. I will say five years.

Fixed. it. - Warrior.

'''Greece has no unit of ERA armor, working or not, in fact this part was erased by me because i deemed it implausible. ~Bear'''

'''Understood, but this part still remains: "We ask for the blueprints of Leopard 1 tank and the Turkish MBT tank and the blueprints of the ERA armor in exchange for the blueprints of Cannon-class destroyer escort USS Garfield Thomas (DE-193)." - GBUSA'''

'''Hmm i don't have it so i asked it, Warrior told me that he would revise his turn to make acquiring/inventing this blueprint/design more plausible... Anyway i am removing that part about ERA armor. ~Bear'''
 * Weimar: We ask Austria to join us as one of the provinces but with greater autonomy We also ask if there can me referemdums in Alsace-Loraine and the east cantons We also make more 1000 leopard ones We also ask countries to help to start up a weimar space program .We also built a highway from former West Berlin to Bonn.
 * Hellenic Dip: We offer to supply the Weimar republic Oil & Gas to curb their energy dependency on Moscow, which is also gonna be delivered to Germany by our Oil tankers and LNG carriers to Bremen in exchange for Leopard 1 tank blueprints and 100 Leopard 1 tanks.


 * Hellenic Republic: George Papadopoulos adresses the nation proclaiming the Union of Cyprus with Hellas. With Cyprus voting to join Hellas, they become a province of Hellas. People all over Hellas rejoice at the union between Hellas and Cyprus, military parades take place in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Nicosia, Heraklion, Larissa, Limassol, Volos, Rhodes, Ioannina, Chania, Chalcis, Ammohostos and many other cities and villages all over the nation, with the vast majority of our people cheering in the streets to celebrate the union. George Papadopoulos popularity skyrockets, along with the junta's popularity, although to a lesser point. George Papadopoulos attempts to legitimize the regime by beginning a gradual democratization starting to have the desired results, Spyros Markezinis accepts his invite and becomes the President of Hellas. He also invites politicians from the old political establishment from the far-right and right-wing political spectrum to found a new party with a considerable number of them accepting. The National Political Union party is founded, with George Papadopoulos becoming its president and Spyros Markezinis its Vice President. Elections happen where George Papadopoulos wins with 69% of the votes and 225 seats in the parliament, campaigning for a war against Albania to liberate Northern Epirus, with the motto Freedom for Epirus. Three huge golden sculptures depicting Alexander the Great of the antiquity, pointing to Egypt, Thrace and Persia with their swords are constructed next to each other in Alexander the Great square in Thessaloniki. The Hellenic-Turkish Oil & Gas Corporation finishes developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Aegean Sea and starts exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea in between Cyprus and Turkey. The Hellenic-Arabian Oil & Gas Corporation finishes developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea north of Cyprus inbetween Crete, Egypt and Lybia and starts exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea inbetween Cyprus and Egypt. With revenue coming in from our Oil & Gas ventures we found the Hellenic Oil & Gas Corporation that starts exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas Fields in the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Patras. We finish construction of 5 MiG-21 Generation 2 plants with Soviet help. The 5 new MiG-21 Generation 2 plants has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Philip M88s". AMX-30s main battle tank and AMX-30Ds are reverse engineered to be produced under the name "Pyrrhus E17" and "Pyrrhus E17s". M48 Patton main battle tank is reverse engineered to be produced under the name "Cimon A17". We continue to handsomely reward and compensate every willing Turk in Hellas to resettle in Turkey. Turkish Cypriots are but a small minority so we increase security and rout out the insurgent bases, while troops also are deployed to Western Thrace to pacify any possible insurgencies. George Papadopoulos calls the Turkish Cypriots and end the fighting and stop their cowardice murders as they are nothing but a scarce minority compared to the total population of the island. Otherwise the Greek army shall respond with greater force. Some Civil rights are offered in return for an end to the insurgency. Over 120.000 Turks left Greece for Turkey by now, after being rewarded and compensated. Approximately 100.000 Greek troops are secretly deployed at the border with Albania, along with 1000 tanks, 250 aircrafts and half the Greek Navy. George Papadopoulos adressing the nation from Nicosia, spreads a message of hope to every Greek, about how much we have achived together united and announces the initiation of the operation codenamed Epirotan Fury, as Greek troops cross the Greco-Albanian borders and war is declared to isolated Albania, for the liberation of the North Epirus. We also ask the US to sell us a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-110 engine blueprints and the right to produce them in exchange for Oil & Gas. We ask the Weimar Republic to sell us a Leopard 1 tank blueprint and the right to produce them in exchange for Oil & Gas. President Papadopoulos reinvites Spain, South Africa and Yugoslavia to be the founding members of the Nationalist Alliance to usher a new era as cooperation is required between Nationalist nations in order to survive and prosper in this chaotic world, with Turkey and the Weimar Republic having already joined.
 * Tamil Tigers: With the decline of Help by both the USSR and China, we sell our J-21 Jastrebs to the indoasian Miltray for 20 MIG 17s,20 Shenyang J-6, Polit trianeing and 5,000 H&K G3s whinch will be use next month, we ask yugoslavia to trade 10 M-84s tanks,500 Zastava M76s and 1,500  Zastava M72s in excange for Deeds 2 big Oil fields and a 3% claim in all oil comeing out of ceylon (reponsed needed), for couple weeks now we have been embroiled in the battle of Kandy, while take battle was rage we captured Jaffna and Hambantota, by this rate we will capture colombo in 2 years, we founded the Company Tamil Oil and Gas which will beat The Hellenic-Arabian/Hellenic-Turkish/Hellenic Oil & Gas Corporation by 34 Billion dollars.
 *  Hellenic Dip:  We secretly offer the Tamil Tigers 100 German Panzer IV tanks, 50 aircrafts as well as funds to help them win their war in exchange for a military base in Ceylon.
 *  Tiger dip:  We accept
 * A Hellenic military base is established in North Ceylon Tamil Tigers occupied lands where ships can dock in the port and/or refuel.
 * Nope, why would that happen
 * Well actually Greece has a huge commercial fleet and they need a place to dock and refuel/resupply. Also i would like to be able to access the Indian, East Asian and Australian markets easier for my fleet to transfer products there. It accounts for like 5-10% my GDP anyway.
 * Dock commercially to refuel and resupply like everyone else does.
 * Well obviously its chaotic in Ceylon with the war and all i am trying to do is to protect my ships.
 * Turkey: The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in five years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years. The coastline is heavily fortified to fight invasion. The National Democrat Party wins popularity. Industrialization is happening, on a massive scale. The Government tells the Turks that they cannot help Turks abroad in Cyprus without solving their problems at home. The Turks in Cyprus are told that they are false Turks if they do not migrate back to the motherland.
 * Hellenic Dip: We welcome Turkey into the Nationalist Military Alliance as a founding member. We ask for the blueprints of Leopard 1 tank and the Turkish MBT tank in exchange for the blueprints of Cannon-class destroyer escort USS Garfield Thomas (DE-193).
 * Weimar: We are the only nation with leopard tank blueprints due that they are invented in my country so if you want them i would suggest making a deal with me
 * United Arab Republic: President Sadat continues to set up the biparty system between the leftist Arab Socialist Union and the centrist National Democratic Party. The national unity of the Republic is re-enforced with radio and television propoganda, creating a sense of nationalism in the republic from Libya and Sudan to Iraq and Syria. The discontiguous states of North and South Yemen are brought up to have closer economic and political ties to the core. Military occupation of South Yemen continues, as the ministry of state works to negotiate a truce with Saudi Arabia. The UAR joins the Naitonalist Alliance and takes a leading role to establish its organization. In a speech from Cairo, Sadat describes how the nationalist ideal was first exemplified by Nasser in his revolution. The modern militaries of Libya and Sudan work to put down insurgents as criminals to the federal government. President Sadat passes economic reforms to steer away from the socialism of Nasser, and create a more direct capitalist economy. The nuclear program continues, hoping to create a stable nuclear reactor in 18 months. Improved missile systems and defense rockets also start to be developed.
 * Hellenic Dip: We welcome the United Arab Republic into the Nationalist Military Alliance as a founding member.
 * Weimar Dip:We ask if UAR would like to have a immigration program sending 50 000 off your people to former east germany our republic which we will pay 100 000 000 US dollar every year until 1975 and they will also get per person one trabant and driving leasons and the ability to start shops
 * South Africa: We join the Nationalist Alliance reluctantly (I was finally pushed over in Chat). The War goes on still with no end in sight. Seeing the continual loss of men, We attempt to start a immigration program specifically for whites to become citizens of South Africa, the minimal requirements is to know English and be able to read and write and work. Area's targeted are Britain, France, Algeria, the rest of Africa where whites are known to be (Kenya, Botswana, Spanish Sahara, Ethiopia maybe) , and the American South (mod response for how successful this is).
 * Hellenic Dip: We welcome South Africa into the Nationalist Military Alliance as a founding member.


 * In the Republic of Korea, a presidential election occurs. The incumbent President Park Chung-hee, a member of the ruling Grand National party, wins by a far margin. However, a few university students protest against his increasingly authoritarian rule. To cope with the dissent, the President enacts a series of policies restricting the inflow of foreign media. The President continues the vigorous implementation of the "Heavy–Chemical Industry Drive". Two more national steel plants, each producing millions of tons of steel a year, are set under construction–hoping to bring the number to the goal of four by the end of the plan in 1974. Industrial complexes specializing on the production of petrochemicals (i.e., plastics, chemicals, refined oil), automobiles, ships, electronics, and machine tools are built. With growing autonomy on the secondary sector, more protectionist measures are placed to prevent a trading deficit. Seeing the millions of deaths brought forth by the American intervention in China and intentional targeting of Chinese population centres (filled with civilians), the government begins to distrust the American government. A diplomat is sent to Moscow to seek the normalization of Korean–Soviet relations.
 * USSR dip: We agree to normalise relations
 * United States of America: The US continues to adjust in the Post-Vietnam, reduction of NATO era by continuing to redeploy and draw down forces as needed. In Vietnam, the US presence is reduced to 150,000 troops, with another 50,000 in Cambodia to deal with their domestic Marxists under Pol Pot. This allows for another 400,000 men to return home, as well as further reducing costs. With the ongoing, apparent collapse of NATO underway in Europe the United States enhances its decision to focus on a nuclear strategy as well as the capabilities of SAC/ADC in order to create a modern "Fortress America" concept. The defense of remaining NATO allies, such as the U.K., Norway, and Italy remains paramount however. Aid to rebuilding South Korea and Japan, is massively increased, as the US seeks to rebuild these allies of it in order to further stabilize Asia while efforts are largely wrapped up in Alaska and Hawaii.
 * Domestically, the U.S. continues the APOLLO and SKYLAB programs of NASA. The timetable remains for 1976 to achieve a space station, and 1985 for a semi-permanent Moon base. Development of the XMBT-815 continues apace, and is renamed the M1 Abrams in the process, while the same can be said for the project concerning Molten Salt Reactors (First standardized designs are expected by Spring of next year). Boeing meanwhile resumes B-52 production, having since finished the B-52 modernization program. Having incorporated lessons learn from the China War, these new BUFFs use new technologies to improve their role as low-level perpetrators, having a faster top speed, improved chaff and ECM packages, increased computerized targeting for the tail gun (Making it faster and more accurate), and finally the incorporation of a new turret on top of the aircraft (Giving it better defenses). With most of the troops home, the radical nationalist movement grows in size as many veterans continue to congregate among themselves. They are alienated from large segments of society at large (A reflection of the Anti-War movement), but remain unconquered and have returned home as victors in the conflict. What were previously just affiliations begin to resemble a nascent political movement.
 * USSR: We agree to host peace talks in Moscow between Vietnam's and the United States. We step up support to Mexican leftist guerrillas who we encourage to enter the drug production and trafficking business as we believe this will allow them to gain power in Mexico because they will have money and people while annoying the United States. The KGB helps establish one single group as the leader of this planned leftist insurgency with their leader Jose Goyo who operates out of Cuba while his subordinates receive training before returning to Mexico with supplies where they start setting up drug rings paying farmers good wages to grow drugs while also recruiting people to fight for them. Propaganda in the form of leaflets and radio broadcasts are supplied to encourage the young to side with the new revolutionary party of Mexico. In the USSR we give funding to OGAS to create a nation wide connected information system with a central terminal at Moscow and smaller terminals across the country initially primarily west of Siberia. The USSR sets about integrating their new territories with Manchuria made an Oblast and Xianjaing made into East Turkmeistan a part of Soviet Central Asia. As famine continues in Siberia we continue to keep food prices high to keep consumption low while food is moved into Siberia. Nuclear warhead production is continued with existing facilities as well as work on new submarines to launch them. We set to work building up factories in Greece and Turkey. We continue producing televisions in larger numbers which many in the cities can access.

 * Turkey: The military continues to be increased. Kemal I tanks increase production. (Diplomacy to Hellenic Republic; we offer you partake in a joint MBT project with us). Leopard 1s continue to be studied and are due in five years for production as the "Attila I" Tank. The Mig 21 is produced as the Suliman F33 fighter. (Diplomacy to soviets: We request your 125mm gun for our tanks). The country begins massive industrialization and modernization, with people leaving villages for the cities, thus leading to massive industrialize growth. Trade is continued with Germany and the Soviets to advance the country.
 * Hellenic Secret Dip: We agree to jointly develop our alliance's own Main Battle Tank and we suggest that we use AMX-30s or AMX-30Ds and M48 Patton as a base to develop our alliance's tank.
 * USSR dip: We decline to share the 125mm gun with the Turkish.
 * Turkish Dip: 200,000 tons of food are offered to get that gun.
 * USSR dip: We agree to this deal.


 * Tamil Tigers: we have been useing the MIG 17s and J-6 with much sucess, by useing in them in the battle of Kandy, the tigers have won that battle, by now we will be in fight in Rambukkana but for now we have takeing Matara and Puttalam, we start taxing the locals in our controlled areas
 * Saudi Arabia:
 * (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E, as the rovkets are tedt in the desert to reach L.E.O. The King fear the aftermath of the war in China and says he heart is out for the people. secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture. Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies. The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men.
 * (our "cold war")Islamist ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group goes underground as hardcore members go into hiding in the desert while other go back to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya on the brink on joining the UAR the group begin to set up rebel bases across the Libyan desert and begin to work on gaining support for the areas as the group begin to bomb troops coming into the desert, hardcore members go into hiding in the desert while other go back to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that,
 * (South Yemen War )30,000 are sent in to counter any communist move in and push out Unionist factions out of Yemen,while the Ikhwan is sent to unite Anti-Unionist faction. Saudi planes use Chaff to counter MANPAD.  The Saudi Navy is order to not fire unless fired upon. The Army begin to dig in as out air force is left out to do huge scale bombing run, all type of weaponry is used to hold land. More Missiles are sent to bomb Port Aden to hold troops from coming (but that won't last forever)With the capture of Aden the army halts and begin to dig in, but all combat is held for peace talks
 * USSR: With Greece occupying all of Albania the Warsaw Pact is put on alert and a plan to retake Albania for communism is prepared. A paratrooper battalion as well as 3 rifle divisions are prepared in Bulgaria. A single paratrooper battalion ,takes off from Bulgaria and flies over northern Greece, is dropped onto Rinas airport with RoE orders to not engage unless fired upon and then once the airport is secure an airlift of the 2 rifle divisions is started by the Military Transport Aviation with the paratrooper battalion holding position until 120 hours later all rifle divisions and supplies are landed at which point with the same RoE orders to not engage unless fired upon and the 3 divisions move north to occupy the country although allowing a corridor for Greek troops to retreat. If fired on we will fire back at Greek troops. As we secure these regions we hold onto them and station troops in Albanian centres of population moving in more troops to occupy the country. We then turn south and advance up to the border with Northern Epirus occupying Tirana and other towns and cities as we go. We halt at Northern Epirus and establish a defensive line of 2 divisions while by now we have moved a whole corp into occupy Albania. We establish the Albanian zone of occupation to protect it from Greek aggression and to stave off the return of capitalist as the country's government is destroyed by Greece. We appoint pro- Soviet leaders to the People's Socialist Republic of Albania to liaise with the occupation force. In the Soviet Union we continue integrating Manchuria and Xianjaing with troops deployed to these regions to support the new governments. We keep the buildup of nuclear warhead production for the new Ural class submarine while we also start producing 0.5kt nuclear warheads which can be deployed from aircraft and rockets for use as tactical strikes. We continue to keep consumer goods production at a reasonable level. We continue work constructing OGAS hoping to finish it by 1975. We keep up a high amount of support the RPM in Mexico with José Goyo operating out of Cuba coordinating the guerrilla fight and drug trade into America. As the US troops try to halt the passage of drugs smuggling planes and mini submarines is used while as the Dirty War rages with the Mexican government targeting leaders guerrilla forces fight out in the countryside to kill Mexican troops while terror strikes in the cities occur. With US grain the food crisis is alleviated a little bit but food shortages still common leading to anger against Brezhnev. The expansion of the school system is made to keep the USSR up with rest of the world as more university places are built and Research and development is given funding to make work on electronics.
 * Hellenic Republic: George Papadopoulos adresses the nation, holding the Northern Epirote Declaration of Independence that was proclaimed 60 years ago, proclaiming success of Operation Epirotan Fury and the liberation of Northern Epirus and its subsequent annexation as a province of Hellas. He also declares that the strugle of the Greek people all these years have not been in vain as now they can reap on the results. Annexed lands include the Gjirokastër County, the Vlorë County and the Korçë County, where the bulk of Greeks reside, including every Greek city, town and village there. People all over Hellas rejoice at the liberation of Northern Epirus, military parades take place in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Nicosia, Heraklion, Larissa, Limassol, Volos, Rhodes, Ioannina, Chania, Chalcis, Aulona, Ammohostos, Argyrokastron, Koritsa  and many other cities and villages all over the nation, with the vast majority of our people cheering in the streets to celebrate the union. George Papadopoulos popularity  skyrockets, along with the junta's popularity, although to a lesser point thanks to the successfull union with Cyprus and the liberation of Northern Epirus. Prime Minister Enver Hoxha and the rest of the defeated Albanian government are forced to recognize Northern Epirus as a Hellenic land and give up their claims there. Enver Hoxha and every other Albanian high government official are trial for genocide against the Greek population of Albania, in a period ranging from WW2 up to now. They are sentenced to death, however Enver Hoxha is sentenced to be lynched by the people. His sentence is caried out first. The Hellenic-Turkish Oil & Gas Corporation finishes developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Aegean Sea and starts exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea inbetween Cyprus and Turkey. The Hellenic Oil & Gas Corporation finishes developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Patras and starts exploring and developing the Oil Wells and Gas fields in the Straits of Otranto. With the huge revenues coming from Oil & Gas a huge industralization program is announced giving emphasis on Heavy Industry while neglecting Light Industry, as the creation of new factories is largely subsidized. The Greek army starts evacuating south to the newly annexed Northern Epirus province, with clear orders not to fire upon Warsaw Pact troops, unless fired upon. We establish a defensive line at the new borders with Albania, to safeguard Northern Epirus. As the army retreats south they help any ethnic Greek to evacuate in Hellas, promising them that they shall be given home and that they will have a better life there. On the other hand the etthnic Albanians in the newly annexed Northern Epirus province are kicked out of their homes and out of Hellas to the rest of Albania. When the ethnic Greeks reach Hellas they are given the ethnic Albanian homes that were deported. The Mixed Groups Machinery Reconstruction starts working to repair and improve infrastructure in the newly annexed Northern Epirus province. President Papadopoulos reinvites Spain and Yugoslavia to be the founding members of the Nationalist Military Alliance to usher a new era as cooperation is required between Nationalist nations in order to survive and prosper in this chaotic world. (Mod Response)
 * Spain mod: We accept joining the Nationalist military alliance.
 * United Arab Republic: With the formation of the Nationalist Military Alliance, the UAR grows more independent from foreign support to stabalize as a true regional great power. The UAR reaches a monopoly of oil and gas refinery from the African Continent, as well as high competition in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Universities continue to work on greater technology, including new computers teaching BASIC programming. Software engineering classes raise students to use this new technology. The nuclear program has almost completed the first reactor. President Sadat and his two major parties work to pull back some of the Socialist policies, while still maintaining the war against poverty. In response to Israel's re-armemt, the UAR begins to mount defensive military on the border. Secretly, the high command draws up a plan for a pre-emptive strike to the ministry of defense. The defense minister telegrams back that the strike should wait to see if Israel arms increases over the next 8 months. So the high command organizes a surveillance methodology to gather data on Israel's arming.
 * United States of America:  The US continues to adjust in the Post-Vietnam, reduction of NATO era by continuing to redeploy and draw down forces as needed. In Vietnam, the US presence is reduced to 150,000 troops who continue COIN operations, with another 50,000 in Cambodia to deal with their domestic Marxists under Pol Pot. The US 7th Fleet, now able to reduce operations off Indochina, participcates in Taiwanese efforts to expand into the collapsing People's Republic of China. US intelligence, having detected suspicious amount of radiation in certain locations of the UAR, begins an operation to find out whether the UAR has an atomic program. With the ongoing, apparent collapse of NATO underway in Europe the United States enhances its decision to focus on a nuclear strategy as well as the capabilities of SAC/ADC in order to create a modern "Fortress America" concept. The defense of remaining NATO allies, such as the U.K., Norway, and Italy remains paramount however. Aid to rebuilding South Korea and Japan, is massively increased, as the US seeks to rebuild these allies of it in order to further stabilize Asia.


 * Domestically, the U.S. continues the APOLLO and SKYLAB programs of NASA. The timetable remains for 1976 to achieve a space station, and 1985 for a semi-permanent Moon base. Development of the M1 Abrams continues, while the first production designs for MSRs are issued. 100 permits are granted for the first powerplants. Boeing meanwhile resumes B-52 production, with the goal to complete around 600 to 1200 new airframes over the next half decade. With the Intel 8080 finished, the Datapoint 2200 is released and proves a smashing hit thanks to the expanded capabilities offered to it. Development of the Xanadu HTML combined with a nascent ARCNET for local area networks continues apace, with a goal of 1976 to bring the systems online as Datapoint begins to theorise of a great "information" highway. With most of the troops home, the radical nationalist movement grows in size as many veterans continue to congregate among themselves. They are alienated from large segments of society at large (A reflection of the Anti-War movement), but remain unconquered and have returned home as victors in the conflict. What were previously just affiliations begin to resemble a nascent political movement.
 * Mod Israeli: The Israelis request large scale loans to maintain their large military forces.

Saudi Arabia:
 * (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E, as the rockets are tested in the desert to reach L.E.O.secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture. Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies, it is later moved into the desert,Saudi planes are now constanly flying over Saudi airspace . The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men. The army is sent into the UAE,Bahrain and Qatar, with 20,000 to invade the U.A.E,while 7,000 move into Qatar and 9,000 in Bahrain. Cities are worked on to modernize the state, women are allowed to not wear the Veil but must wear the Ibayah. WE begin to sell cars mostly across the African World.
 * (our "cold war")Islamist ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group return to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya the same happens. The magazine "The caller" is made and starts off with including people to go to mosque and things like that, along with setting 3 H.Qs 1 being in Egypt known as the "center" one in Syria called "Halab's Lions" and one in Iraq called "Baghdad center". The Saud spends a group called the "Lions of the Sea" and is sent to Indonesia with food and stuff like that to win the hearts and mind
 * S.Yemen Civil War government: The saud army begin to slowly and begin to train troops and police officers. A operation called "S.Yemen Water" is made as workers are sent to modernzie cities and things like that. As Madrasas are made to train the youth into learning to get jobs and things like that.
 * SAUDI DIP: We send the UAR a secret delegation telling them we will be ready for a Israeli invasion next turn, We also ask Pakistan and Afghanistan if they would like to create a  Islamic Military Alliance (IMA) with Saudi Arabia
 * Paki and Afghan dip: They both agree to join the Islamic military alliance.
 * Turkey: The people are reminded that if Turkey does not participate in the Nationalist Alliance, they will become a mere pawn of America and the Soviet Union. In a bid to increase popularity and balance out the discontent with the alliance with Greece, the government begins a Social Welfare Program, granting universal education and healthcare. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in four years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years. The Kemal I tank is modified with a reverse engineered Soviet 125mm gun, and the Leopard 1 copies that will be made in four years will be also given 125mm guns. The Attila Tank itself will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant.
 * Tamil Tigers: We have our first air to air kill with the J-6, we have Rambukkana with many deaths we start kill government planes and we take Galle and start trageting outsiders, mainly Amercians and Turks for money.
 * Hellenic Republic: George Papadopoulos promises to his people to handle the Turkish violence in Cyprus himself if need be. The order is spread to take the Turkish troublemakers out although quietly. Soon piles of corpses start appearing all over the island of Cyprus and Western Thrace. The total toll around 5.000 Turks which is a heavily guarded secret. Thankfully by the time the news get out, blood is on the street, as an ongoing gang war is taking place in Thessaloniki between the Altschul family, some Jewish mobsters and the Papadiamadis family, the corpses piling up faster, and the government has someone to put the blame on. So Western Thrace and Cyprus is branded by the state controlled media as a place where the mobsters pile up the bodies of the people they murder.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: The 125mm soviet tank gun has been acquired. Our military ministers highly recommend we use the reverse engineered version for our joint mbt.
 * Hellenic Dip: We agree with that and ask Turkey to start the development of our own tanks using our engineering knowledge from AMX-30s,AMX-30Ds and Patton M48 tanks to develop a MBT of our own design.
 * United Arab Republic: Many domestic reforms take place that reorganize a proper elementary education system, including focus on religious devotion by association with the Islamic World Conference. Economic policies experiment with mix of capitalism and socialism, as poverty continues to greatly decrese in the nation. As the nuclear projects completes its experiments with nulcear power, the Minister of Defense announces in a press conference that the UAR would like to entertain the creation of purely defensive nulcear armament. The UAR would welcome signing the United Nation resolutions on the use of nuclear weapons, and ensure that such technology doesn't fall into the hands of any radical group. In addition to the Nationalist Military Alliance, the UAR pursues forming a Muslim Military Alliance at the behest of Saudi Arabia. which would also inlcude the nations of Turkey, Iran, and Algeria. In Yemen, the Marxist groups are quietly suppressed, and forced out of the nation altogether. Secretly, in light of the continued buildup of Israeli forces, the UAR prepares to attack Israel pre-emtively early next year allong with Saudi Arabia. 
 * Saudi dip:we ask the UAR how will this alliance work
 * Weimar:We make a program in our republic to make our population grow by giving 1 000 dollars for every family who are pregnent we also make healthcare for them free and we will we also make economic reforms in agreculture making all former west german farms state property and combining them with some east german once.We also ask Austria for a union (Mod response)also the KPD won the elections with 61,3% and 18,7 % for the SED and 18,7% for the CDU and 1,3% for the SPD
 * Mod Austria: Still feeling anger over Nazism and now with Germany going towards nationalism again the current government rejects although there are people who wish for unification.
 * Weimar republic:We want to let austria know that we aren't a nationalist state but that we just would like reunification so that austria can get cheaper and better goods and a army who will defend all austrian vallues and if they want we will send all left nazi's even who are in our rank to a trial to give them justice and we also ask that the kommunistische partij östenreich can meet with the Kommunistche partij deutschland and talk about eventual union between us(mod response)
 * Yugoslavia: The JNA has been fully modernized with domestic arms making up 87% of the weaponry in the nation. We increase mining in the nation. Tito is glad with the non-aligned movement seeing how socialism and democracy are bonding well together.Tito ask to make state visits to Turkey Greece and Germany.
 * Hellenic Dip: Hellas accepts the Yugoslavian request for a visit from President Tito. We also invite the Yugoslavian republic to join the Nationalist Military Alliance as a founding member
 * Weimar:We accept to make a state vissit to your great country.but we ask you to call us Weimar
 * Yugoslav dip: We agree
 * USSR: As the situation in Albania tenses we start the deployment of a 3 Internal troops divisions while we have one division on the Greek border. The new puppet Albanian leader agrees to rejoin Warsaw Pact and allows Soviet troop deployments to defend them against Greece and Yugoslavia both now threatening it. We also start subsiding Albania's puppet government allowing them to reduce taxes and gives subsidies to farmers. Resistance leaders are noted but not arrested yet to see how the situation develops. In the Soviet Union we continue integrating Manchuria and Xianjaing with troops deployed to these regions to support the new governments. We keep the buildup of nuclear warhead production for the new Ural class submarine while we also start producing 0.5kt nuclear warheads which can be deployed from aircraft and rockets for use as tactical strikes.

 * Turkish Dip: We agree.


 * Weimar:we reform goverment chaging to a 5 level counsil system where collectives and factory workers can vote in "arbeiträte" which will vote for "dorfblöcke" and they will vote for "Provinzialräte" who wil vote for the "unteren räten" who will vote for "höheren räten" or also know as state goverment and in this way peasants will get move power in goverment.We also set a embargo directly on the austrian goverment but we keep giving the food to the people by giving it to peasents and workers by state sponserd local trade (mod response)we also officially stop recognising the state of Isreal and we start working on researching rockets to send us into space before 1980 we also ask the US if they could help us with the space program to help our space program.we also support the communist party off belgium and we ask belgium to hold a referemdum about the german comunity if they would like to join us (mod response)
 * United States Diplomacy: The US is willing to assist with the development of the Weimar Republic's effort to establish a Germanic space program.
 * Israel: In light of ever increasing tensions between Israel and the UAR, we have no choice but to further increase our military build up, fearing imminent attack. The UAR has long sought to destroy the nation of Israel and our people, and we have no choice but to defend ourselves against Arabic aggression. For this reason, intensive military training is instilled in the IDF, and all 18 year olds are required to serve for 2 years in the military. In order to stall any potential invasion by the UAR, we set up heavy defensive fortifications all along the Israeli-Arabic border. In Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, deep well built bunkers and air raid shelters are built and supported by 2 lines of barbed wire and anti-tank ditches in the front. On the Negev--Israeli border,2 lines of barbed wire and anti-tank ditches are constructed to halt a rapid advance from the Arabic army. These wire are connected to a secret Israeli Defense System that detects incoming army advances which alerts the airforce and tanks to clear any incoming forces. Meanwhile well built bunkers not supported by obstacle lines are constructed in Haifa and Ramla. Our forces in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights deeply entrench. In Nazareth, bunkers which are not as immune to air and artillery and have 1 or 2 lines of obstacles in front of them are constructed. In total we have –415,000 troops1,700 tanks[24]3,000 armored carriers945 artillery units[25]440 combat aircraft ready to defend Israel. Infrastructure development continues as well.
 * Okay, I doubt that Israel has that many vehicles and combat aircraft, it is recovering from a war with the UAR. Besides, because of the losses of territory, it's population is less than 3 million.
 * The Gaza Strip, the West Bank and the Golan heights are under the control of the United Arabian Republic. ~Bear
 * Hellenic Dip: We offer Isreal to recognize their independence and territorial integrity and we also offer them to jointly develop and exploit the Oil & Gas reserves in the eastern Mediterranean sea, in the area bewteen Israel and Cyprus.
 * Mod: He is accurated about the his locations and his population hasn't decreased just his area. 415,000 troops is high but Israel has always had very high troops numbers as a proportion of it's population. I am happy with the post more or less.
 * Saudi Arabia
 * "Israel:" We gratefully accept the Hellenic proposal and thank them for recognizing us and for offering economic cooperation. (According to the Zurich Conference, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights are under the joint occupation of Israel and the UAR.)

Around 250 AMX-30s MBT  copies are mass manufactured are equiped with 2A46 125 mm gun will be known as "Alexander G17".  Around 250 M48 Patton MBT copies are mass manufactured are equiped with 2A46 125 mm gun will be known as " Epaminondas ΤΗ28".
 * United Kingdom: Tensions are high in the UK. Terrorist attacks by the IRA Cripple the Government and constant Workers Strikes launch the economic market to a standstill. Meanwhile levels of austerity continue following the economic hardships of the Second World War. the United Kingdom officially joins the European Economic Community (EEC) under the Leadership of Conservative Party Leader and Prime Minister Edward "Ted" Heath. The Government attempts to Increase Relations with the New Weimar Republic, sending it both Economic and Military Aid. An Official Referendum is held to the Northen Irish Electorate on the matter of Independence or Continued Unity with the United Kingdom. The Vote passes with 98.8% of the population supporting Northern Irish Membership in the U.K. Parliament Releases an Official Congratulation of the Northern Irish Referndum. Value-Added-Tax (VAT) is introducted into Taxation Matters. Prime Minister Ted Heath calls for Negotiations with Delegates of the IRA in Londerry to end the Bloodshed of the Terrorist Attacks. However Economic Centres and Public Areas increase security measures following two brutal attacks in Whitehall and the Old Bailey. Public Defense spending is simultaneously increased after heavy debate with MPs. In Parlimentary Affairs, the Liberal Party gained Control of Liverpool Council following a series of Council Victories. Meanwhile the seats of Isle of Eyle and Ripon are won by the Liberals following two recent by-elections. To assert a common victory in the Cod Wars, the Ministry of Defence approves sending in the Royal Navy to protect British Fishing Frigates. Over 1.6 million workers go on strike over Goverment Pay Restriants. The Queen Officialy Opens London Bridge, while the HRH the Princess Royal announces her engagement to Mark Philips.
 * Weimar dip:WE do want to have new relations with the UK but we ask the to make a quick peace with irea where all catholic land will join the republic off ireland and the rest will become one off the kingdoms off the united kingdom
 * United States of America: The US 7th Fleet continues operations in the China region, supporting RoC efforts to expand into the former PRC by providing airstrikes and sealift capabilities to Chiang's forces. In Vietnam, the reduced Viet Cong insurgency is confronted by General Creighton Abram's COIN strategy, designed win hearts and minds while supporting local villagers in their efforts. American aid payments to both Vietnam continue as well, in the South in order to keep the ARVN a strong, well trained force as well as assist in development while in the North to help solely with development (As well as function essentially as bribes to not support the Viet Cong). With the UAR having admitted to a nuclear program, the United States issues a strongly worded protest and requests such ambitions be dropped less the tensions in the region develop once again. The US proposes that, if the UAR wishes to have a peaceful energy program, it will supply it with its new Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) designs so that it may have nuclear energy with a design that is hard to produce fissile material (Bomb grade).
 * Domestically, new President Richard Nixon seeks to continue the US strategy of "Long Game" and Fortress America. To that end, the training and preparations for nuclear conflict and post-exchange attrition warfare continue. Thanks to the construction of the first MSRs for use by the military, many underground bases find their abilities great enhanced and in many cases now contain machine tools along with other prerequisites for producing logistical needs for the military (At a reduced scale, of course) in the event of conflict. The NIKE ABM missile shield continues to be expanded, and is officially placed under Air Defense Command, making ADC responsible for both anit-bomber and anti-ICBM duties over the homeland. Development of the M1 Abrams is continued, with the hoped for prototypes to come in either 1975 or 1976. Boeing continues to build out the new contract for new model B-52s, with their increased defense capabilities and higher speeds. The goal is to have SAC at its 1959 bomber height again by 1980, while likewise expanding the newer ICBM fleet. On the Civilian front, the first MSRs are expected to come online sometime in either 1974 or 1975 while Datapoint continues to aim for 1976 as the opening point of what it thinks will be the revolutionary ARCNET system.
 * USSR: As the situation in Albania tenses we start the deployment of a 3 Internal troops divisions while we have one division on the Greek border. The new puppet Albanian leader agrees to rejoin Warsaw Pact and allows Soviet troop deployments to defend them against Greece and Yugoslavia both now threatening it. We also start subsiding Albania's puppet government allowing them to reduce taxes and gives subsidies to farmers. Resistance leaders are noted but not arrested yet to see how the situation develops. In the Soviet Union we continue integrating Manchuria and Xianjaing with troops deployed to these regions to support the new governments. We keep the buildup of nuclear warhead production for the new Ural class submarine while we also start producing 0.5kt nuclear warheads which can be deployed from aircraft and rockets for use as tactical strikes. We continue to keep consumer goods production at a reasonable level. We continue work constructing OGAS hoping to finish it by 1975. We smuggle a small 0.2kt bomb into Mexico. The RPM use this weapon in an airstrike to take out the National defence headquarters in New Mexico while initiating a general uprising in the rural regions of Southern Mexico. With US grain the food crisis is alleviated a little bit but food shortages still common leading to anger against Brezhnev. The expansion of the school system is made to keep the USSR up with rest of the world as more university places are built and Research and development is given funding to make work on electronics.
 * Yugoslavia: We place 2 divisions on the border with Albania to protect the border. We also offer any Albanians wanting to leave to Soviets Amnesty. Tito begins the construction of a small navy to protect the coastal waters around Yugoslavia. Schools are improved, while the government pushes to make factories safer to work in, also in mines.

1973.5
''' In Mexico with the nuclear terrorist attack on Mexico City and the general uprising in the rural south coordinated by Jose Goyo operating our of Cuba of the countryside. The military is forced to abandon much of Southern Mexico with individual strongholds in the cities holding out. The revolution is largely divided between the younger and poorer while the older and more middle class. The Mexican President asks for US support. '''

''' As rumours of the genocide in Cyrpus and Western Thrace reach the world there is international outrage in the western world and mass demonstrations in Istanbul calling for Turkey to end relations with Greece and Turkish nationalist groups attack any one looking ethnic Greek. '''

''' Heavy protests in Germany continue with strikes and tax dodging skyrocketing meaning the Weimar either has to send in troops to quell the unrest, abandon West Germany or make reform. '''

''' Tamil Tigers continue to fight their uprising but the government's airforce remains intact while the government counter attacks retaking land. '''

''' Unrest continues in Albania. '''

''' Industrial action and the troubles plague the United Kingdom. '''

 Tensions remain high between Arabs and Israelis with border clashes and though a larger Arab force the Israelis have ever so slightly more modern tech (like 4 years more modern) 
 * United Arab Republic: The economy continues to be improved with industrialization and more capitalist policies. The military in army and navy is greatly modernized with the new generation of bright students from the westernized universities. As the new states of Libya and Sudan are found to be dragging the economy slightly, President Sadat issues economic refoms that separates intrastate commerce from interstate, allowing individual state governments to manage their internal economies foremost. This is coupled with new federal spending to help pay for the debts of individual states. In light of the border attacks by Israel, the UAR calls in its full military from Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Egypt to invade the remainder of the land. The stated goal of the declaration of war is to put an end to these border attacks, which are clearly an act of unprovoked aggression against the Arab people in the land the Jews have no right to. The destruction of Israel is not the ultimate goal, unless it is the only means to stop future aggression. We ask the MIA and the NMA to send help for this effort. Tactically, the new Syrian Airforce is sent across the Golan heights to retake the Galilee region, bombing out local military garrisons to make way for ground troops: first infantry in a lightning-seizure for garrisons across the border, then tank divisons. In the south, the Egyptian and half the Palestinian military hold defensive positions in Gaza and Beersheba, in case of any push by Israel to the south. Jordan and Palestinian military, mostly tank divisions, push due west to surround Tel Aviv and force a quick surrender. The Mediterranean Navy remains defenisve in Cairo, although there is much debate among the naval high command to make an ambitious push for the port of Haifa. The Egyptian and Jordan airforces are used to provide air cover over the Palestinian region. President Sadat urges OPEC to embargo the US of oil should they try to supply Israel.
 * Saudi Arabia
 * (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E, as the rockets are tested in the desert to reach L.E.O.secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture. Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies, it is later moved into the desert,Saudi planes are now constantly flying over Saudi airspace . The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men. The army is put on ready as more people are drafted into the army to serve 4 years (17-36 ages), The Saudi navy is sent to pass the Suze into the Med.Sea to impose a blockaid onto Israel firing onto any Israel Ship.A army of 60,000 is sent to meet up with Jordian troops to push into Tel Aviv. The Saudi king say a speech on TV calling for the downfall of Israel. With our jets we bomb Tel Aviv aiming for miliraty units.
 * (our "cold war")Islamist ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group return to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya the same happens. The magazine "Jihad" is made and starts off with calling men to form militas calling themself "Fedayeen" supporters up to 40,000 take arms and begin to march with Egyptain troops setting up base in Gaza and Aleppo, along with setting 3 H.Qs 1 being in Egypt known as the "center" one in Syria called "Halab's Lions" and one in Iraq called "Baghdad center". The Saud spends a group called the "Lions of the Sea" and is sent to Indonesia with food and stuff like that to win the hearts and mind, Supportes in Turkey begin to work on protest calling for Turkey to join the IMA, along with sending supporters into Cyprus working on defending ethnic Turks with hunting rifles and things like that. 
 * Islamic Republic of S.Yemen: The saud army begin to slowly and begin to train troops and police officers. A operation called "S.Yemen Water" is made as workers are sent to modernize cities and things like that. As Madrasas are made to train the youth into learning to get jobs and things like that.Elections are held and the population picks the nation to be under the rule of a Islamic Republic. Aid workers are sent to Yemen to work on fixing cits from the Civil war. 5,000 troops are sent to the front (Israel) most of them coming with their own free will
 * United Arabian Emirates: The 3 states are united under one and Dubia is picked as the capital. Ikhwan supporters are put into power and being to open up madrasas across the states.While a police force is worked on being called the United Police Emirates. Oil is recommended and rumors of the state join the Saudi state to create a The United Arabian Emirate
 * saudi DIP: We invite Indonseia into the IMA
 * If the Saudis wish to send weapons to the Turkic minority in Greece of roughly 60.000 Turkish women, that is 100% made up of women (The men are pretty much dead by now) then feel free to do so, but that won't get you anyway... ~Bear
 * Mod: Indonesia agrees to join.
 * Hellenic Republic: Costas Aslanidis is blamed as the orchestrator of the "anti-insurgent activities" in Cyprus and Western Thrace, is arrested and sentenced to 5 years in jail on parole, to take some pressure off the International outrage on the "anti-insergent activities" in Cyprus and Western Thrace. High-ranking government officials underline that the "anti-insurgent activities" were not in any way supported by the government, instead a rogue military officer did this on his own and that the Hellenic Republic condemns him. The Mixed Groups Machinery Reconstruction with the help of volunteering citizens, embark on a project to improve infrastructure on Western Thrace and Macedonia up to modern western standards. Turkish women in Hellas are forced to take Greek husbands, because of the lack of Turkish men and several measures to assimilate them are made. All mosques are closed down as well as Turkish schools, Turkish language is persecuted, Turkish press is closed down and a crackdown on the distribution from Turkey is taking place. ESA under Dimitrios Ioannides secretly and discreetly move to neutralize the Slavic self-proclaimed "Slavo-Macedonian" minority and the Albanian minority in the Hellenic Republic as to prevent them from siding with the enemy in case of war. Arrests are made and ethnic "Slavo-Macedonian" and Albanian leaders and nationalists roughly 100 people are put to death by firing squads. George Papadopoulos declares his stanch support of our ally, the United Arab Republic, the Greek Armed forces enter the conflict in the side of the United Arabian Republic against Israel as the bulk of our navy is send to bombard Tel Aviv, Haifa, Acre and Nahariya and 50 MiG-21 Generation 2 supersonic jet fighter aircrafts are send to provide air support to the UAR airforce.
 * Mod: Your not committing that much nor is Lebanon a part of this war so you can't just land there even if you were sending troops.
 * Francoist Spain - our great leader - Caudillo of Spain, Francisco Franco sent an diplomat to Hellenic Republic. His issue is about ask a government about give, or Spain I blueprinst of 125 mm tank gun and the MIG 21. Also we asking about training for our security service.
 * Hellenic Dip: We agree with our ally Francoist Spain request and supply them with what they ask.
 * Tamil Tigers; we start makeing roadside bombs to blow up goverment troops, we start digging tunnels like the ones in veitnam, we get shipments of AKMs and AK 47U we aslo start robbing banks, we have captued Beruwala, we have just got 2 Mi-24s and 10 Mi-2s from indoasia which we use to barrel bomb key loctions (Mod repsoned needed)
 * Turkey:More Kemal I tanks are built with Soviet 125mm auto gun copies. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in four years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years .Leopard 1 copies that will be made in three years will be also given 125mm guns. The Attila Tank itself will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant. Meanwhile, in regards to the protests, the protests quickly halt due to a massive campaign by the government, claiming the genocide rumors are "Western Propaganda" and "Crusader Propaganda," as part of a plan to send Turkey and Greece into a war that will cause the decline of both countries. It does not deny a massacre, but the campaign says it is exaggerated, and points out the the leader responsible is being prosecuted in Greece right now. With this news, the entire populace is outraged at the west, with people burning American flags in Instanbul, as well as protesting other western nations. Learning about the plot to put Turkey into decline, Turkish nationalists switch from targeting Greeks to targeting Americans. Another part of the propaganda campaign said that the leader in charge of the massacre was actually and Israeli agent, causing anti Zionist Sentiment to rise. The Turkish Government is interested in helping keep Israel at bay as well.
 * Weimar republic:We send the grenzentrupen to former west germany to keep the peace and defend all KPD members and we will jail annyone who attacks communist party memberswe also will stop making all farms state farms but we will pay all west german private farms 5 000 USD if they accept collectivation and we ask the protesters to stop because most workers had voted for the KPD a party who wants to help farmers by giving all colective free machines and luxuary like trabants and volkswagen we also announce that we will make Karl Marx the official hero off the Citty of Trier (his citty off birth)We also ask austria to hold a referemdum to join our country to help their country(mod response)
 * Austrian dip: Seeing the communist disorder in West Germany, union is rejected.
 * Weimar dip:We ask if we get the protest and disorder to stop and get the country totaly stable again they will join us
 * Austrian dip: No because Austria isn't a communist state and is well off economically. To many differences currently.
 * Weimar dip:Could we get closer relations with your country and if needed we will reform to a capitalistt state for unification and we would like a poll to see how many procent is for it
 * USSR: We keep subsiding Albania's puppet government allowing them to reduce taxes and gives subsidies to farmers. The first deportations to labour camps of 200,000 middle class and educated Albanian males is started while new native Albanian security units armed with non- lethal weapons are formed, trained and prepared to send into action. In the Soviet Union we continue integrating Manchuria and Xianjaing with troops deployed to these regions to support the new governments. We keep the buildup of nuclear warhead production for the new Ural class submarine with the now a number of them being in service, while we also start producing 0.5kt nuclear warheads which can be deployed from aircraft and rockets for use as tactical strikes. We continue to keep consumer goods production at a reasonable level. We continue work constructing OGAS hoping to finish it by 1975. We withdraw all support for groups in Mexico as the situation unfolds. With US grain the food crisis is alleviated a little bit but food shortages still common leading to anger against Brezhnev. We increase consumer goods production while decreasing military expenditure. The expansion of the school system is made to keep the USSR up with rest of the world as more university places are built and Research and development is given funding to make work on electronics.
 * United States of America: US, at the sudden near collapse of Mexico, activates Operation Wall Builder for use in stabilizing the situation. The 15 divisions stationed in reserve across the Mexican border are sent forward in a mad dash to secure Northern Mexico while the Marine Corps supported by elements of the Army's airborne divisions likewise seize Veracruz in a replay of Winfield Scott. From there, the US begins a campaign of "bite and hold", where they seize a large area of territory and secure it before making further moves. The US has learned many lessons from the recent Vietnam Conflict, and attempts to implement these as best as possible to reduce the chance of insurgency. Elsewhere, using forward bases in Italy, the US begins Operation Nickel Back, in which it begins a serious and sustained effort to keep the IDF supplied, funded (by monetary assistance), and updated with intelligence collected by the US. The United States reiterates its demands the United Arab Republic end its atomics program, lest the US be forced to begin allowing other regional entities to develop their own stockpiles in response. The US does, however, also offer the UAR access to MSR technology in exchange for giving up its atomics program. *Secret* The United States offers Saudi Arabia a generous weapons deal, in exchange for them not committing to any support of a ground invasion of Israel as well as disavowing any attempted oil embargo.
 * Domestically, much continues as it has over the last few years. The M1 Abrams continues to approach completion of prototype, while the B-52 new models continue production. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, also continues working on developing its Revolutionary ARCNET system while the first MSR power plants begin construction. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue. President Nixon does spearhead a new spate of legislation to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels. Two different cases brought before the Supreme Court result in the end of attempts at forced busing as well as declare education a fundamental interest, in that it allows for funding raised via Property taxes for schools to be collected by the Federal Government and dispersed equally. The formation of ultra-nationalist and right-wing groups by disaffected Veterans and associated conservatives continue, and begins to appear they are having a tangible effect on politics as well as it also appearing a consolidation is occurring among the groups. Most prominently, these groups call for the annexation of Mexico following the eventual conclusion of the conflict there as well as for action against Communist Cuba. Thanks to their efforts at such, this does become a viable issue in the US as well as raising their profile nationally.
 * Israel: With the unprecedent invasion of our soverign territory by the UAR and Saudi Arabia the UAR has violated international law by violating the terms of the Zurich Conference, Prime Minister Golda Meir calls upon the unity of all Israeli people against the Arabic invaders. "We must stand our ground in unity as one people in the face of Arabic aggression, we must fight for the lives of our brothers and sisters, of our mothers and fathers. We must help one another in these times of great destruction and fight the Arabic invaders, for they threaten our very existance as a nation state. Since we are united, we shall win! I urge all of you to assist in the defense of Israel, and I thank those serving in the IDF for defending Israel on all sides. Victory will be ours!" In the Golan Heights and Galiee, IDF forces hide in the mountains to avoid Syrian Airforce strikes, and a few Anti Aircraft guns are used to destroy the Syrian Airforce  rendering their assault ineffective. The IDF in the Golan Heights and Galiee also use guerilla tactics to disrupt and sabatoge the Syrian advance. With the Syrians going through the mountains on the offensive, the IDF has the defensive advantage, and the Syrian blitzkrieg to Nazareth is halted. In the South, 100 planes are sent to bombard Egyptian positions in the Negev Desert and 200 tanks are sent to quickly occupy the Northern and western Negev and we surround Beersheba. In Tel Aviv, the Jordanian and Palestian armies are met with 500 tanks defending Tel Aviv and 500 more tanks attack the Jordanian and Palestianian armies at the back of the lines and they are quickly surrounded. 300 airplanes are sent to defend Tel Aviv by bombarding the Jordanian army and engaging with the Saudi Airforce and the Hellenic Navy. In Tel Aviv, 200,000 troops defend the city as well as 500 artillary. We thank the USA for their help and we use this to intercept the Jordanian and Palestianian advance on Tel Aviv.

1974.0
''' The Israelis breakthrough the Negev desert with casualties on both sides and surround Beersheba. Meanwhile the massed Syrian offensive is slow bogged down moving through populated regions and guerrilla fighting but does occupy the Galilee region although suffers losses and Israeli units strike at the lands they hold. The attempted Jordanian and Palestinian assault on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv fails to make a breakthrough and after while continuing the offensive for a large amount of time and holding the Israeli forces in while casualties are high on both sides. A steady flow of US supplies allows the Israelis to keep up a high tempo of operations but Saudi airstrikes causes civilian casualties although the Saudi airforce is hit very hard by Israeli SAM's and aircraft. '''

''' In West Germany with the option of collectivisation given it is soundly rejected by the West German people with almost no one accepting it. While troops are moved in to keep the peace and so order is regained there is a massive flood of capital and refugees looking for new nations to move to. Within West Germany itself there is a lot of unhappiness and change could cause large civil unrest amongst people. Many West German officers resign. Austria firmly rejects union with Germany. '''

''' Turkish people see through the lies by their government and new popular nationalist groups spring up angered by their government's cooperation with the Greek's genocide of their people and forced assimilation. Protesters occupuy downtown Istanbul setting up makeshift barricades while mass strikes cripple the country and a coup is attempted by a small sect of the military although it seen off. Turkey is while frustrated with Israel still more angry with Greece, and the people demanding war. (I don't give a toss if you made it in your turn that the Turks pretend nothing happens, you need to accept that their is a genocide and do something about it) '''

''' The resistance in Albania is reduced with the deportations. '''

''' Insurgency in South Vietnam remains small. '''

''' 10 Cent Beer night at Cleveland Indians vs Texas Rangers goes badly. '''

''' In Mexico with the US forces occupuying northern parts of the country and Vercuraz and calls for annexation the civil war only grows more intense. The RPM don't have as many troops in Northern Mexico so US forces make gains but popular anger at a US invasion is shown by street demonstrations as they block the streets which human barriers. The withdrawal of Soviet support leads to some issues the RPM has gained enough power now it can operate on it's own gaining it's own weapons from drug money and plundering from the Mexican army who attempt an offensive to regain the south which gets bogged down and while resupplies the towns leaves high casualties and a lack of control in the region. '''

''' The Carnation revolution breaks out in Portugal with the leader being deposed in a military coup and then popular rebellion. '''

''' Continued fighting by the IRA. '''


 * Tamil Tigers with the new helis we start bombing colombo,we also start pirateing campiagn aginst Greek,American and British boats
 * United Arab Republic: As the economy grows with increased exports to Eurasia, President Sadat encourages more coporations in the UAR to be outsourcing to East Asia, seeing them as a growing bed of global economy. The Marxists of South Yemen are fully eradicated, and the remainder of their party are folded into the Arab Socialist Union. We join officially with the IMA. In Israel, the military holds a more defensive position in Galilee, and holds on that territory more than advancing. Similarly, the central push from Palestine and Jordan hold more defensive position to take posession of the territory closer to Tel Aviv. In the South, a full-scale attack from Palestinian and Egyptian military are deployed to drive the Israeli military from Beersheba, using the SAM systems for air support. Aircraft from Syria and some military from Jordan are redirected to aid this operation. Meanwhile, ships of the Mediterranean fleet under Mahmoud Abdel Rahman decide to make the ambitious, somewhat unauthorized move to make a naval expedition against Haifa, in hopes of cutting off Israel from sea.
 * **Turkish Diplomacy: We enter the war against Israel and begin airstrikes to wipe the Israeli air force.
 * American Diplomacy: We once again firmly state our desire for the UAR to halt its nuclear efforts, and to consider peace.
 * Weimar:After new elections the CDU wins with 57,8% and the KPD got 39,2% and 2% for the NDP and with the CDU won they make all state companies pritized and they and we now officialy rename again to Das bundesrepublik Deutschland.We officialy stop communism in our country and we will jail communist leaders and we hope that our democracy our cappitalist democracy will survive and become stable we also ask the USA for a state visit just like we ask france,UK,the netherlands,belgium,italy,luxembourg,mexico and denmark
 * SA: We decide to cut our ties with the Nationalist Alliance not wishing for the destruction of the Jewish state. An immigration slogan is ran out in the southern US saying "Make Africa More White". We launch preliminary occupations of Swaziland and Lesotho to remove any sabatours who had escaped into those countries.We offer to take any Germans disatisfied with their country. We offer them land and protection in exchange for loyalty.
 * Weimar dip:We would like you to leave them i can control my country i just have to make my state stable
 * Turkey: We announce our departure from the nationalist alliance and we impose sanctions on Greece. A coup occurs and overthrows the government. However, we enter the war against Israel. We launch airstrikes to wipe out the Israeli air force. The Turkish government demands that Greece punish those responsible for the genocide. Despite being at odds about Israel, the new regime hopes to repair ties with America, as the last regime trashed those ties, and hopes to cooperate against Greek aggression. (Player Response) More Kemal I tanks are built with Soviet 125mm auto gun copies. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in three years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years . The Attila Tank ( Leopard 1 copies) will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant.
 * Israel: We condemn the civilian bombing of Tel Aviv by the Saudi Arabian Airforce and declare them a rogue terrorist state. Civilians are sent to the underground bunkers in Tel Aviv en masse where they are safe from Saudi bombing and airstrikes. The Saudi airstrikes cause many former and soon to be IDF members who have lost family members to take up arms and form civilian militias with the specific intent of destroying aircraft in Tel Aviv, and they use many SAMs such as the FIM-43 Redeye from the US. Many IDF soldiers in Tel Aviv also feel anger toward the Saudi Airstrikes and it becomes a chief priority of the IDF ground forces and the Israeli airforce to clear out the Saudi Airforce. Fortunately, most of the Saudi airforce was destroyed last year and the Israeli Airforce establishes air superiority over Tel Aviv. With air superiority obtained in Tel Aviv, the Israel airforce splits into three, with the 1st wing defending Tel Aviv and clearing out the remaining Saudi airforce, the 2nd wing engaging in the sea against the Hellenic Navy and other hostile navies, and the third wing bombing and striking Jordanian and Palestinian troops outside of Tel Aviv, with the main mission of destroying their supply lines and tanks. The third wing takes is part of a joint offensive with 50,000 troops from Tel Aviv and 700 remaining tanks from last years Tel Aviv battle. The goal is to push out the Jordanians and Palestians out of areas near Tel Aviv cut off supply lines, and surround the various armies into multiple pockets, breaking down the chain of command and morale. In the Med. Sea, the navy launches SAMs against the Turkish airforce and the elite Phantom Force engages and disengages the Turkish airforce multiple times and allures them away from Tel Aviv and the main Israeli airforce. Meanwhile, in the Negev, defensive fortifications are placed on the Negev-Sinai border, which slows the Egyptian and Palestinian tank advances as our tanks retreat. During the retreat, Egyptian tanks are bombardant by a few outlier tanks hiding in the desert until they come up near Beersheba where center tanks directly engage with Egyptian-Palestinian tanks while side tanks flank the Egyptian-Palestian position and go on the offensive, halting the advance on Beersheba. With Palestinian forces mostly withdrawn from Palestinian, 50,000 troops advance from West Jersueluem to East Jersueluem with 200 tanks, forcing Palestinian surrender. With East Jersueluem taken, the troops celebrate and rest holding a defensive position and plans are made to further advance into the West Bank. In Galiee, Syrian supply lines are assualted and most forces retreat to Nazareth, the last Israeli stronghold there. A few submarines strike torpedoes at the Egyptian navy while they advance upon Haifa and significant damage is done.
 * United States Diplomacy: The United States increases its efforts to keep the IDF supplied, extending aid further to include the delievery of a large supply of armored fighting vehicles via LSTs escorted by elements of the US 6th Fleet. We continue to use the air bases from Italy to help in Operation Nickel Back, as well continue monetary and intelligence assistance. Two squadrons of B-58s are detached from SAC, and sold to the IAF for use in blisteringly fast strikes on Arab forces as well as on possible Strategic targets. Several dozen American Jews, almost all veterans of the Vietnam War, are allowed to form a volunteer fighting group in service for the IDF.
 * United Kingdom:  The Year 1974 provides a series of events for the U.K. Two General Elections occur in the same year. The  IRA  continues its conflict with the British Armed Forces in Northern Ireland, launching Brutal Terrorist attacks, ending the negotation.  Prime Minister Edward "Ted" Heath calls in a General Election. The Results end in a "Hung Parliament," with Labour winning 309 seats, not engough to form a majority, while the Conservatives winning 282 seats but topping the nationwide vote, however with the Liberal Party going through a major revival under Jermey Thorpe, winning 20 seats.  Conservative Party leader Ted Heath attempts to see through a coalition with the Liberals and other smaller parties, this fails drastically as the Liberals demand economic reform and new policies. The Labour Party instead forms a minority Government, with Harold Wilson as Prime Minister. However a General Election is scheduled this October in order to implace a firm majority.  There is Major Outrage at the Turkish Genocide in Hellas, with the Government Condeming the Hellenic Republic and removing any links to the Governemnt. The Foreign Office issues a statement placing Sanctions on the Hellenic Government and calling on others to do the same.   Thousands of Turks, Human Rights activists and others protest in major cities, with "STOP THE SLAUGHTER" signs being placed throughout the City. The Miners strike and Industrial Protests end following firm negotiation with the Labour Party who offer to increase wages and provide more safety regulations. Security measures are increases in all major areas of importance in order to atttempt to deter attacks by the IRA. The Government however also institues direct rule over Northern Ireland.
 * United States of America: Of the 15 Divisions previously holding border security, 10 have been freed up to join the other 15 already steadily inching across Northern Mexico into the central area of the nation. The remaining five are left to provide security and run the refugee camps throughout the Southwest of the US. The now 25 divisions within Mexico proper have largely taken over the day to day running of the areas under US military occupation, providing healthcare and ensuring law and order for example. The US has kept the local Mexician civilians officially in power, and works with them to maintain peaceful relations between the two groups as possible. Protests, while troublesome are allowed to occur and the US strives to maintain discipline amongst the ranks in order to prevent incidents. In order to prevent any domestic issues within the United States, President Nixon annouces there will be no increase in the draft as there was for Vietnam as well as begins to informally support the emerging veteran's groups in order to build up a larger domestic front for support. Inside Mexico itself, the US Military continues a moderate advance, desiring to grab strategic areas and establish firm control before risking further mad dashes. In Vera Cruz, the Marines and Airborne continue to clear out the Mexican State and stockpile supplies for later offensives. The US also proposes that the Mexican Military be placed under its control for the time being, with the US to support it directly with its own forces, supplies, as well to help pay for the cost of the force.


 * ​ The M1 Abrams continues to approach completion of prototype, while the B-52 new models continue production. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, also continues working on developing its Revolutionary ARCNET system while the first MSR power plants continue construction. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue. President Nixon does spearhead a new spate of legislation to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels. The Supreme Court, in the case of Allison v. The State of Alabama, that the Constitution does not hold a legal right to abortion. This allows existing State laws on the subject to continue. The formation of ultra-nationalist and right-wing groups by disaffected Veterans and associated conservatives continue, and begins to appear they are having a tangible effect on politics as well as it also appearing a consolidation is occurring among the groups. Most prominently, these groups call for the annexation of Mexico following the eventual conclusion of the conflict there as well as for action against Communist Cuba. Thanks to their efforts at such, this does become a viable issue in the US as well as raising their profile nationally.
 * USSR: We keep subsiding Albania's puppet government allowing them to reduce taxes and gives subsidies to farmers. New native Albanian security units armed with non- lethal weapons are formed, trained and prepared to send into action. In the Soviet Union we continue integrating Manchuria and Xianjaing with troops deployed to these regions to support the new governments. We keep the buildup of nuclear warhead production for the new Ural class submarine with the now a number of them being in service, while we also start producing 0.5kt nuclear warheads which can be deployed from aircraft and rockets for use as tactical strikes. We continue to keep consumer goods production at a reasonable level. We continue work constructing OGAS hoping to finish it by 1975. We withdraw all support for groups in Mexico as the situation unfolds. With US grain the food crisis is alleviated a little bit but food shortages still common leading to anger against Brezhnev. We increase consumer goods production while decreasing military expenditure. The expansion of the school system is made to keep the USSR up with rest of the world as more university places are built and Research and development is given funding to make work on electronics.

1974.5
Really rough night for me, turn will be released at normal time tonight.

''' There is a 500,000 person migration from West Germany to the US and Western Europe but largely to South Africa. '''

''' In Germany many people are happy at the liberalisation although in East Germany the sudden and unplanned shock of privatisation damages the East German economy further. In Austria after a referendum the people agree to a 5 year transition plan and a proposal in which they would gain devolved government with Germany itself only having defence, foreign policy and infrastructure. '''

''' (I am confused by the situation in Israel but I will try) The bombing of Israel continues but combined with though Israeli air defence and civilian shelters leads to high casualties against the bombing forces. On the land the Egyptian and Palestinian offensive breaks through retaking the Negev desert isolating individual Israeli positions in the desert. The attack on Jordanian and Palestinian troops to push them away from Tel Aviv pushes back the Arab forces in West Bank significantly but pressure to the south and north forces them to halt their offensive. The landings at Hafia fail to establish a beachhead as part of the Egyptian transports are taken out and the direct attack fails. '''

''' In Mexico, the US government's outright seizure of Mexico fuels RPM propaganda about US annexation especially seeing US media. A lot of people now join under the RPM as the Mexican government lose control of areas the US army don't control. Guerrilla attacks on US forces are high and blockages in cities are common as people erect barricades. '''

''' The Rumble in the Jungle is a Victory for Muhammad Ali. '''
 * Tamil Tigers: as the war is comeing to a close to a tiger victoy, we broadcast a massage to all major news networks around the world that we have 30 people hostage, 10 Americans,10 Brits and 10 Greeks all here in a TV station in Kandy, we want 30 million for all of them, you have intill last of the month to do it or they will be killed, in mewhile we send fighters to fight in mexico and Veitnam, we got a new cache of Ammo and PPS submachine guns. . 
 * ​United States Diplomacy ("5,000 Megatons and counting"): Having noticed some disturbing signs concerning the viability of the Tamil state, the United States offers them a chance to release all hostages in exchange for a shipment of Prozacs and would like to give the leaders of the Tamil the following number to call given what they have done: 1-800-273-8255. We highly recommend you use this resource before making a decision on the offer of medication.

 * United Arab Republic: As Admiral Mahmoud Abdel-Rahman safely returned back to Cairo with the large part of his forces in tact, he is immediately courtmarsheled for his reckless adventure. As Anwar Sadat successfully purges the Marxist communist elements from the economy of the nation, the Naional Democratic Party pushes for individual state governments to run their own social programs as well, and Sadat agrees. The bombing continues on Israel, as the three fronts stabalize their defenses. Anwar Sadat offers to personally visit Washington to discuss negotiating a peace treaty to end the war in Israel, as his intentions have been merely to stop Israel from its offenses agaisnt Arab communities. Sadat also iterates that the nuclear weapons developed in the UAR are purely defensive in capability, and is willing to host inspectors from the United Nations to confirm it, if they choose to challenge this claim. 
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We offer you an alliance. We have already sent in 100,000 of our more poorly equipped troops(still well equipped for ME) to help in the war against Israel.(invading via syria) We also beg for you to distance from Greece, who has massacred thousands of Turks.

Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies, it is later moved into the desert,Saudi planes are now constantly flying over Saudi airspace . The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men.

Also this time off the reunification will be called the reunification off troubles in german history books we also make elections happen after austria goes into the union we also demand turkey to go away for isreal and quick
 * (our "cold war")Islamist ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group return to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya the same happens. The magazine "Jihad" is made and starts off with calling men to form militas calling themself "Fedayeen" supporters up to 40,000 take arms and begin to march with Egyptain troops setting up base in Gaza and Aleppo, along with setting 3 H.Qs 1 being in Egypt known as the "center" one in Syria called "Halab's Lions" and one in Iraq called "Baghdad center". The Saud spends a group called the "Lions of the Sea" and is sent to Indonesia with food and stuff like that to win the hearts and mind, Supportes in Turkey begin to work on protest calling for Turkey to join the IMA, along with sending supporters into Cyprus working on defending ethnic Turks with hunting rifles and things like that (even if the fighters are female they shall be armed, along with sending Turkish forgein fighters).

Ikhwan supporters are put into power and being to open up madrasas across the states.While a police force is worked on being called the United Police Emirates. Oil is recommended and rumors of the state join the Saudi state to create a The United Arabian Emirate
 * New Turkish Government Diplomacy: We seek to repair our diplomatic relations with your nation.
 * (How is Saudi Arabia linking up with Jordanian troops in west bank and getting past Israeli defenses? Also, Jordanian troops are on the defensive in the West Bank, not pushing towards Tel Aviv.-Kame)
 * Turkey:  More  Kemal I  tanks are built with Soviet 125mm auto gun copies. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in three years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years . The Attila Tank ( Leopard 1 copies)  will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant. Meanwhile, we send in 100,000 of the more poorly equipped Turkish troops to help in the war against Israel to invade via Syria, as we do not wish to waste our finest equipment. Israel has been accused by us of backing the Greek genocide, and more anti Israeli, anti Greek propaganda is spread.


 * Israeli Diplomacy: We do not support the Greek genocide of Turks and we where never involved in it. We wonder why Turkey is at war against Israel, who was not involved in the genocide, and not at war against Greece, who directly committed the genocide. 
 * Turkey: We bring up the fact that invading Greece right at this moment is tactical madness since they have gotten a strong defense industry, and we bring up the fact that it is easier to the attack the one who is being crippled by a war. Also, we strongly believe that many wrongdoings that happened to the Turks were the workings of Mossad. Also, we are against the slaughtering of our fellow Palestinians Muslims.
 * Turkish Ikhwan(Wahhabist Groups): For too long Israel has killed many Muslims, and although we have our differences from the Turkish Government, we value protecting muslims, we send in 1500 of our Jihadists (suicide bombers, highly effective) to become Martyrs in this war. Allahu Akbar!
 * United States Diplomacy ("Our Bombers are bigger than yours."): The United States is interested in efforts to restore relations between the Republic of Turkey and our nation, once peace between the various sides is achieved in the Middle East. To this end, we're especially interested in renewed trading relations.
 * Hellenic Republic: After receiving news that several Turkish Islamist fighters make a massacre in Cyrpus, killing 14 old men in a traditional coffee shop, the National Inteligence Service finds out that Saudi Arabia is orchestrating these terrorist attacks and as such our response is swift and firmly. We put a temporal ban on every man of Turkish or Arab origin that has Islamic beliefs to enter the Hellenic republic. Shall they try to enter they will be shot on sight. Moreover an embargo is placed on Saudi Arabia and we cut every ties we have with this terrorist government. The Mixed Groups Machinery Reconstruction with the help of the army and volunteering citizens, embark on a project to constructing a heavily fortified defensive line along river Evros, the Papadopoulos line, much like the Maginot line, but with some parts of the designing of the Maginot line deemed ineffective, are designed brand new, while the line is also adapted to the river, to serve as a natural fortification. All over Western Thrace explosive mines are planted, however they are place away from population centers, to avoid accidents and the people are warned to avoid the mines or anything that resembles them, especially the parents. The Greek islands on the first line with Turkey, such as Cyprus, the North Aegean islands (Chios, Inousses, Lesbos, Samos, Samothrace, Limnos, Saint Eustathius and many smaller ones), the Dodecanese islands (Kos, Rodos, Agathonisi, Pserimos, Leros, Kalimnos, Lipsi, Marathos, Patmos, Fourni, Nikia, Simi, Tilos, Rhodes, Krevatia, Ikaria, Kastellorizo, Psara and many smaller ones), undergo the construction of heavy fortifications but not Crete, the Cyclades islands or the Sporades islands for now. "Slavo-Macedonian" schools are closed down, "Slavo-Macedonian" language is persecuted, "Slavo-Macedonian" press is closed down and a crackdown on its distribution from Yugoslavia is taking place. Industry thrives under the new more relaxed enviromental regulations and the reduction of taxation, enforced by Finance Minister Nikolaos Makarezos. Useless parts of the public sector are sold to any investor willing to buy them or closed, while public sector announces layoffs, everywhere except the Army, the Police and the Special Agencies. Anti-Turkish propaganda is spread. George Papadopoulos declares the withdrawal of the Greek Navy and Airforce from the conflict in Israel and a white peace offer is send to Israel.
 * Israeli Diplomacy: We accept the white peace offer by Greece, elated to see the return to peace. We also regard Saudi Arabia as a terrorist state for bombing our civilians in Tel Aviv and we will be happy to work with Greece against Saudi Arabia.
 * Hellenic Dip: The Hellenic Republic would be happy to cooperate with Israel against our common enemy, Saudi Arabia. Their extremism is sinking this world into chaos.
 * United  Kingdom:  The Latter half of 1974 proves to be quite a constrat to the following years, with the Industrial Strife coming to an end and a General Election occurring. However the political landscape is still murky with the  Tamil Hostage Crisis  and the  IRA  continuing its attempted hegemony.  The Second General Election of the year occurs. The Results end with a Clear Majority for Labour. Labour wins 331 seats and a massive majority of the popular vote, both the Conservatives and Liberals lose considersbly, the Liberals are reduced down to 13 seats meanwhile the Conservatives are dealt an extremely crushing blow, the Conservatives win 266 Seats. Leader of the Labour Party, Harold Wilson is elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  The Conservative Party under Edward "Ted" Heath falls into a politicially unstable and leadership crisis, in which the Party fractures itself apart. Heath fails to assert dominance as Leader of the Party, with MPs threatening to disband and join other Right-Wing Groups. A growing movement named the "Tory Movement" begins to grow in the Party, a Right-Wing Nationlaist Group opposed to Mass Immigration and European Integration. However, generally both the Liberal and Labour Party go through major revivals and a dispute peaceful period.  Prime Minister Harold Wilson begins re-negotation on the terms of British Enterance into the European Economic Community.  A Bomb detonates in the home of the Conservative Party Leader Ted Heath, placed there by the IRA, minutes after he leaves. As a result the Conservatives demand immense public action against the IRA. The Home Office simultaneously outlaws the IRA and the Ministry of Defence declares the beginning of the immense campaign against the IRA.  The Foreign Office publishes a Statement calling on British Expats in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) to immediately evacute from the nation. The Publication also condems the Tamil Tigers and sends aid and compensation to the the Sri Lankian Governmemt.  The Prevention of Terrorism act is passed in order to counter the IRA, meanwhile massive compensation is offered to the families of the victims of the Bloody Sunday Incident. The University of Oxford admitts its first Female Under-Gradutes.


 * Hellenic Dip: The Hellenic government proposes a joint course of action to the British government to deal with the Tamil Tigers as they present a threat to both our great nations.


 * United States of America: The US continues the slow and steady approach in Mexico, attempting to win hearts and minds. Forces, primarily of the Marine Corps and Airborne, stage their assault out of Veracruz and advance on Mexico City. The goal is to assist the Mexican government in restoring order and providing security in the wake of the ongoing insurgency. To the North, the US forces there likewise begin advancing on the Mexican capital. Support continues for Israel, and the US, having received the UAR offer, states it is willing to host a peace conference and help establish a peace between both sides. ​The M1 Abrams continues to approach completion of prototype, while the B-52 new models continue production. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, also continues working on developing its Revolutionary ARCNET system while the first MSR power plants continue construction. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue. President Nixon does spearhead a new spate of legislation to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels. The formation of ultra-nationalist and right-wing groups by disaffected Veterans and associated conservatives continue, and begins to appear they are having a tangible effect on politics as well as it also appearing a consolidation is occurring among the groups. Most prominently, these groups call for the annexation of Mexico following the eventual conclusion of the conflict there as well as for action against Communist Cuba. Thanks to their efforts at such, this does become a viable issue in the US as well as raising their profile nationally.
 * Hellenic Dip: We request mutual beneficial trade agreements.


 * Guinea: We want to strengthen ties with our neighbors, France and the USSR. We are concerned by the growing Arab Hogemminy, so we propose a regional Black African mutual self defense, monitory union and free trade block in West Africa composing of Guinea, Mali, Liberia, Upper Volta, Dahomy, Togo, Serra Lione,  Ghana,  Ivory Coast and Senegal in out summit in Conakry (mod response wanted). We also ask for a free trade deal France, Brazil, Nigeria, Niger, Mauritania and the USSR. (mod response wanted). We build more schools in the capital, hold a literacy campaign, recruit 200 troops, open a new stone quarry in the interior and upgrade the capital's bus shelters. We build a new fruit cannery and several sawmills in the capital. We condemen the Tamil Tigers for hostage takeing.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: In exchange for allowing us to operate a military base in your country, we offer you 50 WWII Era T26 Tanks, 10,000 G3 rifles, but the real prize of this offer is we will get you set up for industrialization.
 * Guinea Diplomacy: We agree to Turkey's dea!
 * Japan:  we continue to improve our industry., along with requests to improve relations with the USSR. we request to enter secrecy talks with the US to revoke Article 9 due to the PRC.
 * United States Diplomacy: The United States is completely willing to support revoking the Article 9 stipulations, given the ongoing global chaos.


 * Israel: Diplomatically, we seek peace but militarily we have to defend ourselves from various invaders, even making offenses. With the retreat of the Greek Navy, we engage with the Saudi Navy and the Saudi Airforce. An iron air defense is established in Tel Aviv, as fighting the inferior Saudi Airforce becomes routine. Offensive strikes are made on the incoming Saudi aircraft then they retreat. Defensive Israeli aircraft directly engage with Saudi aircraft as there are multiple surprise strikes using some American planes. SAMs are simeltenously launched upon Saudi aircraft. In the Negev, the pockets of Israeli tanks attack Saudi troops, destroying key supply lines and tanks, disrupting their advance from the Negev to Jerusalem. The defensive Egyptian-Palestianian forces, however, are largely ignored as they have been ordered to halt their advance  In the border region between Negev and Jersueluem, heavy defensive fortifications and positions are set up to halt the Saudi advance. With the Jordanian and Palestinian Army being pushed back to the West Bank, we receive word that the Turkish Army is going to join up with them. Fearing a counter invasion from the future combined Jordanian-Palestinian-Turkish.  The Tel Aviv force of 50,000 along with the Jersuluem force of 50,000 invade the West Bank once again with 500 tanks and 250 aircraft, including the highly advanced B-58s. with the objective of decimiating their forces. In the advance upon the West Bank we capture Bethlehem. We push back the Jordanians and Palestinians to the city of Jericho and the Tel Aviv and Jersueluem armies meet up and regroup, beginning the Siege of Jericho. It is here where the Grand Israeli encounters the 100,000 strong Turkish Army, and we fortify our position and fire upon them with our aircraft and our tanks. In the midst of the carnage, meetings begin with the UAR, and we begin to discuss peace terms. A secret operation with American B58s are sent out to destroy the UAR's nuclear reactor.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: In the face of the Israeli offensive, we order our troops to dig in to prepare against any possible assault. We request peace talks with Israel, and threaten to send in 70,000 reinforcements if the gunfire at the our troops doesnt stop.
 * Israeli Diplomacy: After gunfire is shot upon the Turkish forces prior to the peace request we receive the Turkish diplomats. In order to stop further bloodshed, we agree to enter peace talks with Turkey and we order a ceasefire on the Turkish forces while the peace talks occur.


 * India: The opposition to the Indira Gandhi government continues. Due to droughts, the 1973 oil crisis, inflation and the bad condition of the economy due to the war and additional problems created by the effects of nuclear winter including famines, there is growing criticism against Indira, strongest in the states of Gujarat and Bihar alongwith the other north Indian states of Punjab, UP, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. The movement is led by Jayprakash Narayan in East UP, Bihar and Bengal. Student protests erupt in many parts of India. Nav Nirman movement in Gujarat gains momentum while political unrest against Indira Gandhi increases. The government of Gujarat is dissolved due to student protests leading to President's Rule. Kesavnanda Bharti wins the landmark case regarding the Right to Property. Land ceiling is removed leading to an increase in agricultural production and efficiency and increasing the rate of urbanisation as peasants move to the cities to look for jobs. Jayprakash Narayan's (JP) call for a total revolution is answered, protests engulf Bihar forcing the central government to dissolve the state government. The railway employees union goes on strike. The strike is brutally suppressed by the Indira government. Most railway employees resign leading to a total shutdown of the railways and practically jamming the country. Due to this there is public unrest as the people are hardly hit and day to day life is disrupted. The people force the government to take back the employees and re start the railways. The economy goes into recession. By the end of December, Indira Gandhi's growing unpopularity reaches its peak.
 * USSR: As the economy continues to stagnate and fails to grow rapidly Brezhnev is dismissed after he suffers a serious stroke and is incapacitated for a few days leading to Alexi Kosygin taking power over the Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist party. Alexi Kosygin to get the failing economy going again removes a series of structural weakness from the Soviet economy with the removal of full employment policy and encouraging bosses to remove overmanning leads to a growth in unemployment which causes those still with jobs to push forwards to work harder. Military spending is decreased to only 10% of GDP with the production of equipment scale down and the active forces reduced to 1.4 million. In an attempt to get industry moving limited privatisation and decentralisation is made with many factories producing a variety of products from cars to chocolate bars being managed and run for profit by friends of Kosygin. With multiple brands appearing for many products such as food, clothing, construction and luxury items leads to competition and resulting price decreases and quality increase. We offer to sell weaponry at below market rates to Saudi Arabia and UAR if they agree to limit production heavily to drive up the oil price. In an attempt to increase stimulation of the flagging economy we attempt to open up trade relations with the US and UK. As the technology in use of the USSR lags behind that of foreign nations and so an effort is made for better R&D to be worked on by more funding being given and the technology being made more widely available. Work on OGAS is continued to build a country spanning network while as agriculture remains slow, all farms are given to private ownership while the use of high yield crops and chemical fertilisers is encouraged by free agricultural education and tax benefits for those who use new methods. In an attempt to stimulate consumer spending and build a middle class taxes are given to enterprises who pay some of their workers middle class wages meaning many companies try and move to smaller numbers and higher technology usage in factories to make up for less workers.

1975.0
''' Austria contuines to move closer to Germany but is not actually a part of Germany yet for enough 4 and a half years. While the economy of East Germany contuines to fail with the shock of capatlism and West Germany takes over much of their industry. '''

''' The war in Mexico continues with the US now holding all Mexican land but only tenuously with small groups being overrun and isolated as both the RPM move to guerrilla operations striking out in large numbers against small US forces or Mexican forces in both rural areas and cities. '''

''' The war continues in Israel with continued high casulties for both sides although the war finally tips in favour of the Arabs as the weight of Arab troops weighs down. The Israeli offensives fails but the Saudi offensive for Tel Aviv fails. As casualties mount on both sides and a stalemate all the major powers wish for a ceasefire. '''
 *  Turkey: More Kemal I tanks are built with Soviet 125mm auto gun copies. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in three years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s".

The Attila Tank (Leopard 1 copies) will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant. A request is sent to Saudi Arabia on whether it can join the Islamic military alliance. Meanwhile, the base in Guinea expands, having 1300 soldiers, 15 Kemal I tanks, and the Turkish forces train Guinea Army and also Turkish companies help industrialize that nation. Meanwhile, at home, welfare programs continue, universal education and healthcare have been achieved, the next goal to reach is universal housing. Kemal I tanks are being mass produced, and already the Turkish armed forces has around 1300 in service. (Some where upgraded to this from M48 Pattons).
 * Saudi Dip: we accept Turkey request into the IMA
 * Bundesrepublik deutschland:We improve our industry in east germany we also keep going with the reunification we also openly support isreal we also ask italy to have talks about buying süd tirol (mod response) so that they can live under a german speaking country
 * United Arab Republic: A new technological generation begins to emerge in the Middle East, educated at the westernized universities. They start to develop innovative solutions to ecnomic and scientific problems in the Arab World. Sadat establishes the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, or NARSS for short, as an early space program. The director of NARSS asks the USSR to allow them to operate satilites and orbital space missions. Anwar Sadat accepts peace negotiations with Israel as worked out in the appropriate treaty. The UAR reaches out to American defense contractors such as Westinghouse, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, looking for new avenues of increasing military production. The UAR limits some oil production on a temporary contract, in exchange for purchasing weapons from the Soviet Union. 
 * India: The Supreme Court rules in favor of the Raj Narain case barring Indira Gandhi of holding any political office for 6 years and ordering her resignation from the post of the PM. Furthermore the Maruti project by Sanjay Gandhi starts being opposed. The 'total revolution' against Indira reaches the armed forces and JP appeals to the armed forces not to listen to an illegitimate PM. Indira Gandhi tries to declare a State of Emergency on 26 May. Clearly defying the SC, crowds take over Delhi against Indira, the army and air force defy the government and demonstrate in support of the people. The Delhi Police refuses to fire on the crowds.Bands of people from Haryana and UP enter Delhi led by Charan Singh. Crowds demand Indira Gandhi's resignation. The Maruti factory in Haryana is set ablaze. Protesters take to the streets in many North Indian towns. Indira Gandhi finally resigns on 12 April. On the same day a protester throws a bomb at the car carrying Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi dies while Sanjay Gandhi succumbs to his injuries on 14 April.

 * Saudi Arabia: (In nation)king Fasil OTL begins to modernize the nation, with banning Slavery and working on improving cities and allowing Women into the school system. Along with opening relationship with the UAR. The Saud Petroleum Company (SPC) continues drilling projects across established petroleum zones across the nation. We begin to work on a nuclear program for peaceful use looking for the means of making Urimunim or Platinum looking into the black market, we begin to work on a space program as scientist work to get a rocket in L.O.E, as the rockets are tested in the desert to reach L.E.O.secret The Saudis begin to work on a nuclear program making a nuclear reactor thing as the scientist are let lose. The King begins to work on other ways of getting money as he starts to work on opening factories to mass produce things from toys - furniture. Seeing the airstrike on our reactor, we begin to rebuild it and move it Riyadh where it goes under the cover of a huge storage compartment, as the place is surrounded by under spies, it is later moved into the desert,Saudi planes are now constantly flying over Saudi airspace . The idea of a Sultanate comes to mind in the youth mostly military men.

We send Aid workers to Afghanistan to help rebulid the nation, as we ask to pakistan to set up bases in Pakistan (MOD)
 * (our "cold war")Islamist ideas are spread across Arabia, along with exporting it to Libya with the idea of an Arab Islamic Unity. We send the US the idea of Oil trading as we become an Oil powerhouse. Anti-Baathist ideas are spread across Saudi Arabia giving the idea of Islamist and the idea of Islamic Unity these ideas are sent to the UAE,Oman,the group works to improve the relationship with people by opening mosques and working on improving Poor areas and the slowly work on winning hearts and mind, most of the young followers are sent to colleges and university to rival other factions in the university.  Radio Al Hawk is made and is spread into the Arab World spreading Islamist ideas. The Ghurba group return to cities to gain support of people by opening schools and things like that, In Libya the same happens. The magazine "Jihad" is made and starts off with calling men to form militas calling themself "Fedayeen" supporters up to 40,000 take arms and begin to march with Egyptain troops setting up base in Gaza and Aleppo, along with setting 3 H.Qs 1 being in Egypt known as the "center" one in Syria called "Halab's Lions" and one in Iraq called "Baghdad center". The Saud spends a group called the "Lions of the Sea" and is sent to Indonesia with food and stuff like that to win the hearts and mind, Supportes in Turkey begin to work on protest calling for Turkey to join the IMA, along with sending supporters into Cyprus working on defending ethnic Turks with hunting rifles and things like that (even if the fighters are female they shall be armed, along with sending Turkish forgein fighters).

A operation called "S.Yemen Water" is made as workers are sent to modernize cities and things like that. As Madrasas are made to train the youth into learning to get jobs and things like that.Elections are held and the population picks the nation to be under the rule of a Islamic Republic.

 * United Kingdom: 1965 proves to be a fairly eventful year for the United Kingdom: The Formation of a new Political Party, a series of By elections almost ripping the Conservative Party,an Official Referendum on ECC membership and continued fighting with the IRA. Albeit at a much lesser level. A Major Split in the Conservative Party, a Leadership Contest is called on Conservative Leader Edward "Ted"Heath by Major Tory Backbenchers, led by Keith Joseph and Former Secretary of Education Margret Thatcher. The Results come in with No Firm Majority following derogatory comments by Joseph. Following this, the Tory Movement officially splits from the Conservatives with the Official Formation of the Tory Party, a Right Wing, Nationalist, Anti-European Socially Conservative Party led by the Premiership of Margret Thatcher. A series of Bye-elections occur in Conservative Seats following the Tory Split. The Tories win 16 seats making them the Fourth Largest Party in Parliament, meanwhile the Liberals manage to win 3 seats from the Conservatives, with the Crippled Conservatives holding on to only 2 seats. Ted Heath declares his resignation following the humiliating defeat. An Official Referendum on EEC membership is ordered, with 67% voting Yes and 33% voting against. Harold Wilson declares a 15 Point Plan as an attempt to counter Inflation and Unemployment, pledging to create thousands of jobs in due process. Funding begins to start on the Formation of a Space Program for the UK establishing Research Centers across the Country and beginning the creation of a Space Rocket. The Royal   Aeronautics and Space Exploration Research Agency is formed: its headquarters in Birmingham. Charlie Chaplin is knighted by the Queen.
 * United States of America: The US halts further advances within Mexico, preferring to take several months to rest its forces and conduct Anti-Insurgency operations in the rear in order to deal with the growing threat. Efforts at winning over the Mexican populace are increased, in particular efforts to hire younger Mexicans for reconstruction as well as administrative jobs for the dual Mexican civilian/US Military joint government in rear areas while access to thing such as quality healthcare, previously limited, is expanded under the US administration in order to help calm the populace. Elsewhere, relations with the Greeks and the USSR are improved, as the US agrees to expanded trading and economic ties. ​The M1 Abrams continues to approach completion of prototype (Expected sometime next year), while the B-52 new models continue production. Development on the B-70 is restarted and given an expedited nature in order to get a flying prototype by 1977. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, also continues working on developing its Revolutionary ARCNET system while the first MSR power plants continue construction. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue. Efforts continue to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels. The formation of ultra-nationalist and right-wing groups by disaffected Veterans and associated conservatives continue, and begins to appear they are having a tangible effect on politics as well as it also appearing a consolidation is occurring among the groups. Most prominently, these groups call for the annexation of Mexico following the eventual conclusion of the conflict there as well as for action against Communist Cuba. Thanks to their efforts at such, this does become a viable issue in the US as well as raising their profile nationally.
 * USSR: Alexi Kosygin to get the failing economy going again removes a series of structural weakness from the Soviet economy with the removal of full employment policy and encouraging bosses to remove overmanning leads to a growth in unemployment which causes those still with jobs to push forwards to work harder. Military spending is decreased to only 10% of GDP with the production of equipment scale down and the active forces reduced to 1.4 million. In an attempt to get industry moving limited privatisation and decentralisation is made with many factories producing a variety of products from cars to chocolate bars being managed and run for profit by friends of Kosygin. With multiple brands appearing for many products such as food, clothing, construction and luxury items leads to competition and resulting price decreases and quality increase. As the technology in use of the USSR lags behind that of foreign nations and so an effort is made for better R&D to be worked on by more funding being given and the technology being made more widely available. Work on OGAS is continued to build a country spanning network while as agriculture remains slow, all farms are given to private ownership while the use of high yield crops and chemical fertilisers is encouraged by free agricultural education and tax benefits for those who use new methods. In an attempt to stimulate consumer spending and build a middle class taxes are given to enterprises who pay some of their workers middle class wages meaning many companies try and move to smaller numbers and higher technology usage in factories to make up for less workers.

1975.5
''' As oil production is restricted by the major oil producing nations oil prices rise quickly leading to inflation in a number of countries which use large amounts of petrol. '''

 Fighting in Israel halts as peace talks are started (Get it done) 

''' In Mexico the RPM commanded by José Goyo out of Cuba continue their guerrilla fighting in Mexico. The US attempts to win over the populace by opening up jobs leads to many RPM agents taking the jobs to allow them to get close to US forces to carry out attacks. Attacks are carried out on Mexican forces to seize their weapons leading to Mexican troops retreating to their barracks and only venturing out in company strength force. Attacks on new US infrastructure such as hospitals is started and anyone visiting them is classed as a collaborator and attacked. '''

''' The first attack on US soil by the RPM is a truck bombing outside of a military base killing 1 solider. '''

''' The IRA attack the Hilton hotel. '''

''' A bomb is detonated in Athens by Turkish nationalists and naval clashes occur with 2 destroyers exchanging fire. '''

''' Italy rejects giving away South Tyrol. '''

''' In East Germany there remains problems and while investment of infrastructure helps decrease unemployment it is largely unprofitable while Austria continues to move towards union with Germany. '''


 * Turkey: More Kemal I tanks are built with Soviet 125mm auto gun copies. The new Leopard 1 tanks are examined, 25 are put into field service, while the other 25 are to be examined for reverse engineering. The plan is in two years to produce the new tank as the "Attila I" tank. There is also a plan to use all tank technology we have learned combined an develop an indigenous Turkish MBT, "Osman I". The new mig factory has begun producing Mig 21 fighters on a massive scale. The Mig 21 fighters are being produced under the name "Suliman F33s". The Mig 21s are studied for a future indigenous Turkish fighter due to be out in ten years . The Attila Tank (Leopard 1 copies) will use a 125mm main gun, except people are not sure whether the main gun will be a direct copy of the Soviet Model, or a heavily modified Turkish variant. Meanwhile, the base in Guinea expands, having 1500 soldiers, 20 Kemal I tanks, and the Turkish forces train Guinea Army and also Turkish companies help industrialize that nation. Meanwhile, at home, welfare programs continue, universal education and healthcare have been achieved, the next goal to reach is universal housing. Kemal I tanks are being mass produced, and already the Turkish armed forces has around 1500 in service. (Some were upgraded to this from M48 Pattons). In response to Greek aggression, unlike the volunteer army which we used to fight Israel, we use a draft, as there is almost no chance of a mutiny occurring, drafting 200,000 Soldiers, stationing them on Greece’s border, and should Greece try anything dangerous an invasion will begin (These troops will do the first push) Due to the cold war, the military production is ramped up, with the Turkish Army expected to have 3000 Kemal tanks in service by 1980, 50, "Attila" Tanks, and around 350 Mig 21 plus the pervious aircraft that were in service provided to us by NATO. The Osman Tank production might begin by then as well.

 * Hellenic Republic: We demand an apology from the Turkish government for the actions as well as to punish the ones responsible for this massacre that killed over 17 people. We also demand reparations for the damages in our destroyer caused by the Turkish one that fired without any provocations at all. Roughly 110.000 troops are drafted and deployed in Evros river in Papadopoulos defensive line, which has finished consrtuction, as well as 40.000 troops in Cyprus, 10.000 troops in the Dodecanese islands and 10.000 troops in the North Aegean islands with clear orders not to fire unless fired upon. While another 255.000 troops are reserves, waiting to step in shall the clashes turn into a full scale war. Our whole Navy steps in to protect our islands, deploying creating a defensive line, as our islands are also used as the first line of defense. Our airforce, consisted of 500 aircrafts, is deployed in Western Thrace, Cyprus and the Aegean Sea. Also 1000 tanks are deployed in Western Thrace in Papadopoulos defensive line, Cyprus, the Dodecanese Islands and the North Aegean Islands. The Hellenic Government offers Israel to lend a hand in its reconstruction after the long and devestating war it had. While also we offer Israel an alliance and to guarantee their territorial integrity and their independence.
 * Whoa bear those numbers are way too high. well maybe not but if not then I will begin drafting like you, and remember, Turkey has like 4x the pop of Greece. ~Ethan
 * Maybe but remember Turkey is not as advanced and not as industrialized as Greece is. In fact Turkey has only surpassed Greece military only after the 90s as stated in some classified CIA files that leaked lately. You could deploy as many troops as you like but you would need the resources to support them which you clearly don't have. ~Bear
 * Turkey is much more industralized ATL because i have done programs to create an effective arms industry. So Turkey actually does have the means of supplying it's troops. I have also started healthcare, universal education, and Urban growth is happening at a rapid pace. ~Ethan
 * Mod: You do not have 600,000 troops during peace or even war unless it is total war. You have a population of about 9 million meaning you have roughly 6% of your population in uniform which during peacetime is ridiculous. Aircraft and tank numbers are fine.
 * Guinea: We continue to slowly expand the stone quarry and bauxite mines. We state that socialism and communism are the answer to Africa's woes and that a Marxist nations in Africa is enlightened. Ground nut farming is massively overhauled and made more efficient. All French firms' assets are nationalized in Guinea as we decide to look to the USSR, ECOWAS and Turkey fore aid. We are running low on cash due to the high oil prices.
 * Guinea diplomacy: We offer political support to Turkey. We would like to form an alliance with the USSR, if they think it dose not conflict with our prior commitments with Turkey.
 * Turkish Dip: We agree to this. We bring up the fact that the USSR itself is one of our largest arms suppliers. We offer to build a factory in your nation for rifles and build industrial farming equipment.
 * Guinea Dip: We agree. We offer you 100 tonnes of free bauxite in return for the promised arms factory.
 * Guinea subversion: We send propaganda and agents in to Portuguese Guinea in the hope that when the separatists set up Guinea Bissau it will go Marxist and join Guinea in a federation. (mod decide if this works and they say yes).
 * Mod: Guinea Biassau rejects union with Guinea.
 * Portugal: We continue the work of the Carnation Revolution. With the colonial war going down hill fast we agree to leave Guinea Bissau, Angola and Mozambique to cut our losses in the face of imminent colonial defeat. Things are better and less violent in both Cape Verde, Cabinda and São Tomé and Príncipe, so we offer them devolved status equivalent to the OTL Britain's Isel of Man (Crown_dependency) (mod decide if Cape Verde and São Tomé, Cabinda and Príncipe are agreeing) and a lot of development aid relating to coastal fishing fleets. We start to promote Catholic church values in East Timor and improve it's sanitation sewers. 50 troops go to East Timor and Cabinda. The Junta de Salvação Nacional will allow democratic elections in the Portuguese legislative election of 1976. Football and olive farming are encouraged by the government.
 * Portugal colonial dip:We leave war torn Guinea Bissau, Angola and Mozambique. None the less, things are better and less violent in both Cape Verde, Cabinda and São Tomé and Príncipe, so we offer them devolved status equivalent to the OTL Britain's Isel of Man (Crown_dependency) (mod decide if Cape Verde, Cabinda and São Tomé and Príncipe are agreeing) and a lot of development aid relating to coastal fishing fleets.
 * Are you dumb, ive had some 40,000 troops fighting since 1965, at-least put the UNITA/FNLA in power in Angola-Orwell
 * We pulled out of Guinea Bissau, Angola and Mozambique so the rebels would natural take over.
 * Mod response: Cape Verde, Sao Tomé and Principe all agree to stay as dependencies provided they receive large subsidies from the mainland while Cabinda provided naval and ground forces are stationed there for defence.
 * Portuguese response: We agree and give a yearly $20,000,000 subsidy to Cape Verde, Sao Tomé and Principe (roughly equivalent to 15% of their income as additional aid and 0.1% of our income as expenditure in 1976 ). 150 troops, an army utility helicopter and patrol boat go to help Cabinda to defend it.
 * South Africa: The War continues. With the stupendous move of Portugal to abandon its colonies after so many victories, We send diplomats to UNITA/FNLA coalition to align ourselves with them (mod response) We offer to take any white's in Portugal former colonies to South Africa (Player Response).
 * ​Portugal dip: We agree.
 * UNITA/ FNLA: We agree to align ourselves with South Africa and ask for support to drive out the MPLA.
 * India: The Centurion tanks have been fully replaced by the Vijayanta tanks. India requests the purchase of 100 T-64s, 400 T-72s and 800 T-80s (3rd Gen tanks) from the Soviet Union to replace the ageing T55s and induct 3rd Gen MBTs. (Player Response). The HAL HF24 Marut is further developed. Extra funding is given to the Jet Engine project for the Marut by the DRDO. The new jet engine in its tests shows promise and will make the Marut achieve Supesonic speeds. India request the help of Soviet, Hellenic and German scientists to help develop the engine. (Player Response).
 * Hellenic Dip: We offer our expertise in exchange for the blueprint of the engine once its finished.
 * USSR dip: We agree to sell T-64's but reject selling any others due to the modernity of the technology and we do no wish to be helping India produce a new jet engine.
 * United Kingdom: The Latter Half of 1975 proves to be fairly uneventful. Despite the Hilton Terrorist Attack by the IRA and the expansion of the Tory Party led by Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party Crisis. Hugh Fraser wins the Conservative Party Leadership Election, narrowly defeating William Whitelaw in the closest Leadership Election to date. The Conservative Party being reduced to only 247 seats. Enoch Powell, a Controversial Former-Conservative MP dismissed from the Shadow Cabinet for the Controversial "Rivers of Blood" Speech, endorses the Tory Party, calling on People to resign support on the Conservatives and support the Tories. Powell, himself resigns from the Ulster Unionist Party to join the Tories, triggering a By-election won by the Ulster Unionists. In other Parliamentary Affairs, the Immense Security to Deter Terrorism Act or (ISDT) is passed in an almost unanimous Parliamentary Vote. This Act increases the amount of security in all major hubs, increasing security measures massively and allows the use of Firearms and weaponry for All Certified Guard Officials. Following the results of the EEC Referendum, Prime Harold Wilson continues the negotiation on an EEC. Harold Wilson continues the 15 Point Plan, sending in a White Paper Attack on Inflation to all Households. Measures are increased to both counter inflation and cease mass Unemployment. Government Funding continues into a Possible Space Mission for the United Kingdom, purchasing rocket machinery and research. The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and Equal Pay Act are passed in an attempt to end Gender-Equality in the Workplace. Bohemian Rhapsody is released by Queen.
 * United States of America: With the increasingly tenuous situation in Mexico and the recent attack on American soil, President Nixon begins a general call up of reserves as well as deploying already active formations within CONUS. Fresh divisions are deployed along the border to increase security while also helping with dealing with the refugees currently within the Southwest. Mobilizing formations are also slated to begin deployments within the current occupation zones with Mexico while Creighton Abrams, still recovering from a major surgery last year, is brought on to help revise US strategy. The Hearts and Minds strategy is continued, but employment opportunities are strictly limited to infrastructure rebuilding, medical fields, and other occupations that solely deal with fellow Mexican citizens while primarily keeping them (So as to reduce the risk they pose to US forces). Many of the growing ultra-nationalist movement, having remained in the forces in the reserves find themselves returning to combat while others re-enlist.  ​Domestically, the M1 Abrams development is completed with the testing of the new prototypes, with serial production expected to begin late next year. The B-52 new models continue production while the B-70 program continues with expectations of serial production by 1978. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, also continues working on developing its ARCNET system for use with the Datapoint 2200, with the program expected to be brought together with the XANADU operating system in one revolutionary new system next year. The first MSR plants are expected to finish by 1977. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue, with the first space station expected by 1977 and the Moon Base by 1985. Efforts continue to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels.

 * Republic of Portugal: The Socialist Party wins the elections and Mário Soares is Portugal's first democratically elected Prime-Minister. We build a patrol boat and encourage olive farming. We issue decrees that nationalize the domestically owned parts of major sectors of the national economy (the leading banks, insurance companies, emergent fertilizer industry, petroleum refineries, the transportation sector, the steel industry in 1976.0,factories in 1976.5, food canneries in 1976.5, and eventually Portugal's leading privately owned industrial monopoly, Companhia União Fabril, in 1970.0 being taken over by the state). Chemical firms are ordered to issue 30% reduction in the price of fertilizer to farm workers on small and medium farmers. We have a bit of a liquidity problem. Some land re-distribution occers. The program also includes wage and import controls and the reduction of subsidies on consumer goods. We agree and give a yearly $20,000,000 subsidy to Cape Verde, Sao Tomé and Principe (roughly equivalent to 15% of their income as additional aid and 0.1% of our income as equivelent in aditional expenditure in 1976, see- 1). Another 150 troops, an army utility helicopter and patrol boat go to help Cabinda to defend it. We promote tribal unity and the Catholic church in East Timor. All colonies get a upgrade in there urban telephones. We prospect for oil in Cabinda's interior and promise to start partial development of the it huge offshore oil fields, which we discovered 1967, by 1979. We condemn the IRA for blowing up the Hilton Hotel last turn.
 * Republic-dependency of Cabinda: Oil, timber and cocoa are main exports, but we plan to diversify in to the coffee and banana industry. We slightly expand our fishing fleet.
 * Republic-dependency of Cape Verde: We noticeably expand our fishing fleet.
 * Republic-dependency of Sao Tomé and Prin Principe: 'We noticeably expand our fishing fleet.
 * Portugal Dip': We would like a non-aggression pact with Spain (player response needed), Algeria (mod response needed). and Morocco (mod response needed).
 * Panama: a coup is started, which it overthrows Omar Torrijos, repalceing him with Dr.Victor De Leon and forming the Socialist Republic Of Panama, Frist step is ordering any Americans to leave Panama befor the end of the year, second we have open support for mexico and her people, we ask USSR and Cuba for food and Arms trade mostly for SAMS and AA (mod reposned needed), we start modeling our nation after both nations, we also shut down the panama canal to pro NATO and Pro capitalism nations.

 * Guinea: The opersition acts and the rebels rearm after the riots from the seized depots of government weapons to form a new mallita. The vast numbers of new tribalism guerrillas are driven back as the 1,000 new army recruits hit back hard. The regime of Sékou Touré increases the number of internal arrests and executions of counter revolutionaries. The president doctoral legal acts and decrees that elevates his high political office with a political decree that gives him more power over his government and regional governors. 100 troops secure the capital under martial law. Thousands of political opponents go into exile. We build new schools in Boké Prefecture. Mimi-skirts, bikis and boob-tubes are banned for being rude and smutty. Try to increase agricultural production along the coast. Effort to end any religious tension between Muslims, Christians and animists increase. Economy is slowly expanding. Telecommunications are enhanced and most of the land lines outside the rioting and rebelling eastern towns and cities are restored in working order. Guinea continues its programs of improving living conditions for the poor and starts to work on stabilizing inflation.
 * Panama Dip: we ask Guinea for trade of where we want bauxite and gold and we will trade with rubber tree seeds
 * Guniea Dip: We agree.
 * United Kingdom: The Year 1976 provides an unexpected turn of events for the UK, with continued fighting against the IRA, political resignations and the political strife in the divided Conservative Party.

 * Portugese Dip: We would like an alliance with the UK.
 * United Kingdom Dip: The United Kingdom agrees into the re-newing of the Anglo-Pourtugese Alliance.
 * Bundesrepublik deutschland: We begin to send them to jail for 20 years erich honecher and albert ulbricht as they were the most loyal to the DDR goverment and we tell the UK that we aren't part off the NATO we also offer greece a aliance. We also give more power to each bundeslandes in germany they are given powers to dicide to ban parties and unban them
 * USSR: Alexi Kosygin to get the failing economy going again removes a series of structural weakness from the Soviet economy with the removal of full employment policy and encouraging bosses to remove overmanning leads to a growth in unemployment which causes those still with jobs to push forwards to work harder. Military spending is decreased to only 10% of GDP with the production of equipment scale down and the active forces reduced to 1.4 million. In an attempt to get industry moving limited privatisation and decentralisation is made with many factories producing a variety of products from cars to chocolate bars being managed and run for profit by friends of Kosygin. With multiple brands appearing for many products such as food, clothing, construction and luxury items leads to competition and resulting price decreases and quality increase. As the technology in use of the USSR lags behind that of foreign nations and so an effort is made for better R&D to be worked on by more funding being given and the technology being made more widely available. Work on OGAS is continued to build a country spanning network while as agriculture remains slow, all farms are given to private ownership while the use of high yield crops and chemical fertilisers is encouraged by free agricultural education and tax benefits for those who use new methods. In an attempt to stimulate consumer spending and build a middle class taxes are given to enterprises who pay some of their workers middle class wages meaning many companies try and move to smaller numbers and higher technology usage in factories to make up for less workers.
 * UAR dip: We ask the USSR to sponsor our budding space program by allowing us to operate satilite telemetry.
 * USSR dip: We agree
 * United Arab Republic: The economy continues to improve, with industrialization surging across the Arab World. After the settlement of a new peace with Israel, Arab settlements in the Golan Heights are constructed, mainly sponsered by the Syrian government. The comprimise with Israel, instead of annexing the region, causes great animosity within some of the more conservative factions of the UAR against Sadat. This factionioning causes multiple political parties to appear along that spectrum, although the main two parties remain the ASU and the DNP. Oil is still restricted to drive oil prices, but the excess is refined and sold domestically, such that the Arab world retains lower prices. The result causes the UAR to resemble a fully democratic, capitalist society, although the reality is still a far cry off. The UAR proposes redisigning the Arab League as a full nationalist organization associated with the IMA, with Saudi Arabia as an observor nation. 
 * South Africa: We begin to fight alongside the UNITA/FNLA coalition in Angola and the RENAMO front in Mozambique. With our forces already in occupied Lesotho and Swaziland, the head government decides to annex the countries as massive Bantustans for relocating some blacks. Seeing as countries that don't touch the north Atlantic are part of the organization we ask the United States if we can join NATO.
 * Hellenic Republic: General Elections take place, although a half a year delayed, with the National Political Union gaining 188 seats and a majority of the popular vote, the Center Union is reduced down to 82 seats, while the National Radical Union is dealt an extremely crushing blow, they gain only 24 seats and the Progressive Party gains 6 seats. George Papadopulos is reelected as the Prime Minister. A military arms race takes place between the Hellenic Republic and Turkey, as "Alexander G17" and "Epaminondas ΤΗ28" tanks and MiG-21 Generation 2 supersonic jet fighter aircrafts are mass produced to ensure the safety of our nation from our aggressive neighbour. Our Navy is also expended with a few new warships finishing construction, while even more are ordered. The Hellenic Republic extends a helping hand to Iceland and presents a proposal to assist them, effectively ignoring the UK led embargo, in their Cod Wars dispute, offering to support them against the UK and possibly NATO, as well as to supply them with necessities and increase trade volume between our nations to reverse the negative effects of the UK led embargo, offering to trade fish, aluminium, ferroalloys, iron and copper for Oil & Gas, ships, airplanes, cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, tractors, food and military equipment. (Mod Response)
 * Iceland dip: Agrees to trade of stuff.
 * Portugese dip: We would like a non agression pact with Greece.
 * United States of America: The US continues general mobilization and deployment of reserve forces, strengthening border security as well as deploying great forces into the rear areas in order to allow for the resumption of an advance. Increasingly fresh divisions, many containing Vietnam veterans experienced in COIN and operating under a strategy devised by Creighton Abrams, are being used to combat the insurgency while the Hearts and Mind campaign, largely a success in Vietnam, is continuously adopted for the new challenges. It is hoped for that the general advance on Mexico City can resume by the end of the year. Domestically, the production of the M1 Abrams approaches, and is expected to begin in the fall in limited numbers until full serial production can occur sometime within the next two years. Development on the B-70 continues while production continues apace on the B-52 II Bloc models. Development of the Anti-Nuclear Weapons defenses as well as strategies also likewise continue. The Datapoint Corporation, with its Pentagon contract, brings together the last six years of development to introduce the new Datapoint 2400 Personal Computer. The device combines the 2200 terminal with a microchip, the XANADU operating system, and finally the ARCNET connection in a combined system that allows users connectivity across the wire network to other users and computers, heralding the start of something entirely new. This system is later termed the Internet, and is expected to revolutionize commerce and social interactions by theorists. The APOLLO and SKYLAB program also continue, with the first space station expected by 1977 and the Moon Base by 1985. Efforts continue to help disadvantaged coal communities in the US, by providing funding for new technologies to reduce pollution from coal plants as well as funding to allow for the US to begin a program of coal to gas conversion, to increase coal usage as well as reduce US reliance on foreign imports of fuels.

Israel: With The Treaty of Thessaloniki signed with the UAR, peace is achieved and the war ends. As per the treaty, we withdraw from the Golan Heights and occupy East Jerusalem. The War brings unity amongst the Israeli people and we are more unified than ever. The PM declares "We have once again defended Israel from our enemies, and now we have reunited Jersueluem. Though we have been pounded to ash, we shall be reborn as a phoenix." With th eending of the War, the UAR is helping else rebuild our infrastructure and invest in the economy. Thus we embark on a massive reconstruction effort of our infrastructure, especially in Tel Aviv. A national canal and drip irrigation is implemented to provide water to our people and create self reliant agritcultural The government lays out a plan to become the technological capital of the world, starting with the funding of medical research and education. The massive technological effort continues with the continuation of keeping the IDF up to date. Meanwhile, the Israeli Space Agency is established and we seek to work with the USA. Attempts are made to diversify the economy so we don't end up like the UAR. While peace has been achieved with the UAR, Saudi Arabia has yet to sign, and the Israeli airforce remains vigilant over Tel Aviv in case of a surprise Saudi attack. We urge Saudi Arabia to sign the treaty. We gladly accept the Greek request for an alliance between our two sovereign states.

 * Republic of Portugal: The I Constitutional Government of Portugal (Portuguese: I Governo Constitucional de Portugal) had Mário Soares as the Prime-Minister forms. The government continues to implement his socialist economics. Oil is rather costly and petrol is not selling, but we plan to look else were, like Cabinda, for a new source it. The technology used by Portugal lags behind that of foreign nations. We feel concerned about it and so an effort is made for better R&D to be worked, with more funding being given. Technology being made more widely available. Agricultural practices is upgraded.
