Spread of Communism Revised (Map Game)

Welcome to Spread of Communism Revised. The First game kinda died because all the mods left, so, the new game!

The year is 1955. The US and USSR are at their throats. Meanwhile, countries across the globe are taking sides- to join the Warsaw Pact or NATO?

Let the Cold War begin.

We will start on the 10th of July (2012)

The Game has Begun!

Rules
1. Implausibility is obviously outlawed. You get three strikes, on the third a vote is held to kick you off and then on every subsequent offense.

2. Mods word is law, unless proved wrong.

3. Only mods may play as the US or USSR, and only approved players (they do not have to be mods) can play as China, the UK, or France.

4. In a game like this nukes are a real quandary, as the whole game is about nukes, so just try to not use them.

5. No playing as colonies.

6. Turns in half years.

7. Mod events can and will occur.

8. NPC countries will be controlled by mods if the need arises.

9. Mods negociate treaties.

10. Only one nation per player.

11. New turn will start at 0:00 PST everyday.

12. Names can only change under government change or Unification of the area (ie, Finland calls itself Scandanavia after conquering the whole region).

13. Flags change only under Rule 12.

14. Mods can strike out Implausibilty but the player accused can defend his point and if he is proved right, then it doesn't count as a strike.

15. Three Strikes also counts for breaking of any of these rules.

16. Any nation on one side (Ex: UK in NATO) cannot switch to the other unless the government is replaced. However, neutral nations can join any side they want as long as it is plausible and good reason is given.

17. In the event that a player of the UK, US, USSR, France, or China leaves the mods will elect a new player for that position (he can refuse, though.)

18. There will be a nation power and Warfare algorithm. For Nation power we will use the States of America 5 algorithm (you do not need a nation page). The mods will invent a warfare algorithm.

19. Only a mod's interpretation of the algorithms will count.

Algorithm
NOTE: ONLY MODS WILL DO THESE.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH: Europe did not loose that many colonies that fast. Even in the starting point, they still held on to some colonies. And shouldn't this start at 1949 just like the previous game?

No. in 1949 we have the Korean war and half a dozen revolutions going on, it got too implausible. And Britain released all of its colonies in 1946-1948, So did america, France lost theirs, Germany lost theirs, Italy lost theirs.Guns (talk) 05:48, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

France still has Constantine, Alger, and Oran in Algeria, Benin, the Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Chad, Central African Republic, French Congo, Gabon, French Cameroon, Mauritius, Djibouti, and the Comoros. (CHECK WIKIPEDIA FOR OTHERS)


 * 1) jawdrop

Ok, can you fix the map? I can't my software doesn't do well with countries that small. Guns (talk) 06:07, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

I updated the map to include the French possessions and the Ethiopian Empire. Ring a bell if you need anything else. --"Truth fears no questions..." 13:17, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Other European nations still had their overseas colonies. Check Wikipedia to get the answers (I can't because my mom told me so). RandomWriterGuy (talk) 16:06, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Check this link and this as well. RandomWriterGuy (talk) 16:10, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

I've updated the map to include the European possessions in Africa before 1955. --"Truth fears no questions..." 16:51, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Going to admit that pretty much every nation who already holds colonial possessions will have to experience some form of independence movement. Mine is in Algeria. I have this link for all dates of all African colonies. BTW, no offense, but the map is not yet complete. RandomWriterGuy (talk) 04:29, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

No offense taken. I wasn't about to spend my time destroying my eyes making sure I got every city- seized province colored in for their respective owners. I just stuck with the ones of the most importance. --"Truth fears no questions..." 21:47, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Romanian diplomacy: we support Egypt move, a alliance is proposed with a trade pact.
 * UK D: Warns Egypt that any such plan would be met with full UK military force.
 * I crossed it out for a reason. Implausibility. Egypt would never know anything about supporters of Israel yet.
 * Who cares about that? I just don't want them aquiring and nationalizing the canal!
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union offers Egypt aid in the acquisition of the Suez Canal.
 * French DIplomacy: It pursuades the government that they are pressuring Britain to let Egypt share the power with them so it wouldn;t start another war.
 * Ethiopia: The Emperor orders the construction of a new railway system following his grandfather's refusal to build one following European escapades in the region. He plans to modernize the country, and does so by requesting new agricultural techniques be introduced into the farmlands of Ethiopia. Also, he funds the contruction of a modern navy.

 * Romania: The military budget is slightly increase and reasearch to developp a more modern tank begun, a anti-capitalist propaganda is created and the Romanian are encourage to join the military force, the navy begun the construction of three small warship. The colonial repression is denounced and we would be happy to welcome the Greek communists. The Soviet Union is asked if it could sell us some equipments.
 * They're being jailed/executed/put to community service. Like Greece would send them up to ya.
 * It was worth the try ;)
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union agrees to sell equipment to it's comerades in Romania.
 * The United States invites Greece and Indonesia to join the Global Union of Democracy, which will have all the NATO members in it. (Problem: Y'all can't join NATO, cause the A stands for Atlantic and neither of ya borders the Atlantic so I had to create the GUD.)
 * Greece joined NATO in 1952.
 * Indonesian Diplomacy: the government will accept an alliance with the usa and any other capitalist nations but it will think about joining the GUD. (btw greece is a member of nato in otl so is turkey, croatia, and italy non of which are connected to the atlantic but yeah its only for western nations i think. just heads up)
 * OK then. I'm still defuncting the NATO and forming the GUD.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Saudi King makes an statement that Saudi Arabia will remain neutral in the Cold War. Meanwhile, construction on an rail system across the country to help transport goods easier and not worry about trucks running out gas in the middle of the desert. The Saudi King asks for ANY country to help modernize its military.
 * South Korean Diplomacy: We have recently had a war and have several thousand servicemen though unfit for frontline combat can train your troops. Will this be sufficient? In return we will to have favoured nation status when trading with you.
 * Saudi Arabian Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia thanks South Korea and agrees to South Korea's request for favoured nation status.
 * The United States agrees to aid Arabia f Arabia gives equal rights to everyone and outlaws the Communists and joins the GUD.
 * Saudi Diplomacy: We agree to outlaw Communism, but can we join as an observer of the GUD
 * Erm Saudi Arabia doesn't have equal rights now. Its a bit implausible for them to get them now without a change in government. I thought you mods where meant to be checking for implausibility?
 * Fixed my response.
 * Doesn't really matter. Look up the Blood telegram. The US didn't give a rats assets about civil rights, as long as they were anti communist.
 * I mean men and women, not whites and coloreds. I'm USA, we're Republican right about now, so we don't give a crap about whites and colored sharing rights, that'll happen when the Dems come in.
 * The United States agrees to let Saudi be an observor.
 * Indonesian Diplomacy: the indonesian government offers to help saudi arbia as a fellow islamic nation despite the difference in culture in the 2 nations and despite indonesian seclurism. it also offers that a strong trading deal be made between them.
 * Saudi Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia agrees to Indonesia's offer.
 * French Diplomacy: It thanks Saudi Arabia for taking an anti-Communist stance. It secretly asks it to send oil to ONLY anti-Communist and neutral states.
 * Israel: The nation amps up its military in a new large scale modernization programme, and more houses are built for Jewish immigrants to try and get them out of the camps. Food production is stepped up in an effort to stop the rationing and imports increase too. Entrepreneurship is encouraged in the country to reduce unemployment, and Israel also start secret talks with the UK and France to stop Egypt if they make a move to take over the Suez.
 * French Diplomacy: France suggests that in order to gain Egypt's support, it pursuades Britain and Egypt share the canal together. Hopefully, this means no war.
 * Brazil: Brazil improves its already powerful military and navy, adding to our edge as the leading power in South America. Infrastructure improves and the economy does exceedingly well at this point. Brazil's Congress and the President are currently discussing the possibility of a Brazilian nuclear program for both energy and(secretly) weapons. Brazil is also considering joining NATO.
 * The United States offers Brazil an alliance and limited aid in its nuke program is it joins the GUD, NATO successor.
 * Brazil accepts all terms.
 * French Diplomacy: It asks it for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Mexico: Mexico enters the Mexican Miracle Period (OTL) as it now has modern roads and a booming economy, with 3 percent growth anually. It focuses on peacekeeping.
 * America will help Mexico turn into a developed nation if it joins the GUD.
 * Mexico: Mexico will stay on its non-aligned side for the time being.
 * French Diplomacy: It asks the country for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The USSR respects Mexico's neutrality, considering it's close proximity to the United States, and, if it wishes to remain neutral, at least it could have a trade agreement?
 * Mexican Diplomacy: Mexico is a nation of free trade. Any corperation wishing to trade with Mexico is allowed to by the law of liberal trading. It accepts to allow USSR commerce through Mexico. (Due to the USSR having tight trade laws I believe.) Meaning every nation can trade with Mexico. It thanks the USSR for understanding their neutrality policy.
 * West Germany: West Germany continues strong economic growth, combined with increased support of the West German state after West Germany's victory against Hungary in the 1954 World Cup, showed that non-Communists were supportive of the Bundesrepublik. Government officials consider the restarting of the military, instead under the name Bundeswehr, to defend the country against possible attacks from East Germany and the Warsaw states. However, West Germany wants to align with NATO, with the permission of the other 14 members of NATO. In return, we wish to return to developing arms, but we are willing to make a deal, that a lion's share of arms will be sent to the Allies (including former enemies, the U.K., France and the United States).
 * French Diplomacy: Your wish.
 * German Response: Although there may be a miscommunication, or mix up in translation, we aren't sure if that meant, "okay, West Germany can join." ("Your wish."), or if it means, "No. We can't trust you after what happened in World War II." ("You wish.")
 * West Germany was already part of NATO after it was formed, although that NATO has become GUD(Global Union of Democracy) to fit in global members.
 * France begins to experience colonial problems in Algeria, as a rebellion has popped up aiming for independence. Realizing that they have the USSR in their hands, they would rather negotiate with the rebels than fight them. France asks that Algeria can be a dominion of the country if they cease to stop fighting. But due to complaints from French settlers, a separate area for them would be established. It begins to redevelop the economy from the ashes of WWII by developing strong industries (steel, textiles, weapons, military hardware, vehicles, etc.) to gain support from their colonial subjects, they begin to promote certain rights and semi-self-rule. France begins exploitation of the colonies in order to feed the economy, but allows a fair portion of the resources to be used by the colonials. With the Korean War over, it secretly begins to aid South Korea to prepare against another invasion. It secretly begins a nuke program of their own, asking the United STates for assisstence.
 * US agrees to aid France in a nuke program and says that France should allow Algeria to slide before this elevates into real violence.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: Brazil agrees to the alliance and trade agreements(but we are both part of GUD arent we). Brazil also proposes a joint nuclear weapons/energy program, it already started in Brazil and if we both work together it'll finish much earlier in both of our countries.
 * French Diplomacy: OK.
 * South Korean Diplomacy: Thank you for the assistance. We would also like to join this energy program. It should annoy NK.
 * USSR begins to manufacture more weapons (including those of the nuclear persuasion) and ships them to it's allies. Any nations that wish for support or allies are extended an formal alliance and trade agreement proposal. The Soviet Union creates the Union of the Hammer and the Sickle (the UHR), a national Communist organization, partially to rival the GUD, and partially to promote communist values in weakened or developing countries. Pro-Communism propaganda is being shipped to several countries, mainly in South America and Africa.
 * Romanian Diplomacy: Join the UHR (all the Warsaw pact should had not join him at its creation?)
 * Italy: Italy sends more troops to their colonies in Africa. Italy also puts more forts in the Alps. Italy manufactures more weapons to supply the soldiers. An alliance offer is sent to Greece and Switzerland.
 * Swtizerland staunchly refuses, maintaining its neutrality.
 * Greece accepts.
 * Vietnam: Elections are held this year, when the Emperor closes the parliament for elections. Ho Chi Minh and his Socialist Democratic Party stand up for the election, and they easily win it with overwhelming majority. They continue the slightly Socialist policies, and revise and make a new and better suited constitution for Vietnam. Tanks have also successfully been manufactured and the army begins recieving them in small number. More rice paddies are established, but the first major industries begin construction in Saigon and Hanoi. These begin to emply thousands of unemplyed people, and international aid is sought for Vietnamese industralization.

1955.5
'''In Europe, an Austrian plane heading to Israel is shot over Bulgaria but Austria declares neutrality in the Cold War., while anti-French riots occur in Morrocco and Algeria. This is not all as uprisings begin in the British Empire.'''

'''Hurricane Diane strikes the northeastern US while Hurricane Hilda strikes Mexico. As well as this, US President Eisenhower suffers coronary thrombosis while in Denver, Colorado. In Montogmery, USA, Martin Luther declares boycott of bus rides for blacks.'''

Argentinan president Juan Peron is desposed by a military coup.

'''Ngo Dinh Diem declares himself president of the Vietnamese Republic and establishes the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. The Vietnam War begins when the North Vietnamese Viet-Cong declares war on the Republic of Vietnam.'''

'''Read the Vietnamese posts from the other game before making mod events like this. There is no Viet-Cong and Ho Chi Minh is right now President of a democratic and united Vietnam.'''

But even then, Comminism would still exist because of the poor condition of the country and maybe some inexperience governmental officials (which lead to corruption).

I do have a plan for that, just keep looking out for my posts.

'''Britain, France, and Israel and Egypt go on a crash-course when they begin quarreling over the Suez Canal. '''

Sukarno's loyalists declare a rebellion in the eastern part of Indonesia.

''' Greek Communists declare a government-in-exile in Romania. They ask the government to train them so they can retake their country in a war. '''


 * ​France: France sends its condolences for the people who died in the riots. It promises self-rule for Morrocco to appease the people living there. The economy begins expansion, as it undergoes its own Industrial Revolution. They begin to raise the standard of living in its African colonies to ensure people's support. They pursuade Egypt and Britain to share the canal together in order to prevent a catastrophe. They send aid to Greece to hopefully rid the communist government. They pressure the United States to end racial inequality. It supports Indonesia against Sukarno.
 * UK: Quells uprisings using massive economic stimuli to satisfy the population. Meanwhile, threatens to use military force in Egypt if it continues with nationalization. Sends aid to the US and Mexico after the Hurricanes. Urges France to let go of Algeria, Morroco, etc. Sends aid to the Greek government to aid them fighting off the communists. Declares support against Sukarno. Urges USA to give in to MLK's demands.
 * French Response: Please how about you and Egypt share control over the canal? A war will not give us a good look in the Middle East.
 * Saudi Arabia: Due to the high level of tension in the region, the King of Saudi Arabia asks to join the GUD completely . Meanwhile, the rail system from Mecca to Ridyah is completed, and begins to connect the seaports on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Drilling for oil in the Arabian desert continues, and searching for new deposits in the area begins. The military begins to modernize with the foreign instructors, but continues to lag behind the European or North American nation. Construction on the country's first naval warship begins, even though its only an cruiser.
 * First off, America already said that unless civil rights, etc are enforced you're not joining (the hypocrites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971, note the sections on the blood telegram, not to mention that MLK is currently still protesting, but hey, America can do that!) and you're not changing anything until a change of government occurs, so you can't become a full member (yet). 


 * So I'm stuck at observer for now. Right. 
 * That was a messy sentence =D
 * I did not say civil rights, I said equal rights, men and women not whites and coloreds. Besides, the Republicans aint gonna do nothing about the protestors.
 * What? That was 1920s. Basically, the call for equal rights says that, though there are seperate documents saying that women can vote, etc, even though they can do everything men can, there is no document stating that they are equal. There are no cries for equal rights, but rather civil rights.
 * Wait. So I could join the GUD the next turn, if I stop let's say: Mistreatement of Women, but not allowing them to vote, as that is how I believe it is in modern Saudi Arabia.
 * Brazil: Intercepts any and all Communist propaganda and destroys it to ensure the Soviets don't influnce the developing nations of South America. To counter the propaganda, Brazil sends pro-Capitalism and anti-communist propaganda to show the horrors of communism(gulags,etc) to prove to the other nations that communism is not the way to go. Brazil also uses its good relations with the other South American nations to block Soviet influence. The nuclear program with France continues steady and is expected to finish earlier than scheduled because the French jumped on board last turn and the American aid in the weapons/energy program(I need a finish date here). Brazil sends portions of its professional army to Vietnam and Greece to fight the communists there. Brazil announces its intentions to be the leading GUD member of South America(since our economy,military,etc is better than the other countries, we'll take a leading role).
 * West Germany: As our eastern enemies officially join the Warsaw Pact, we re-arm, hopefully with permission of the GUD (I believe they've replaced the NATO). We order much equipment for the development of the Bundeswehr, along with plans to start developing weaponry after the military is restarted. We will buy infantry weapons (assualt rifles, handguns) from the Allies for now.
 * Heer: For the Army, we wish to buy 800 Panhard EBR armoured cars from the French Army, along with 350 AMX-13 light tanks. along with 300 M48 Patton medium tanks from the US Army, and 150 Centurion tanks from the British Army.
 * Marine: For the Navy, we wish to buy 3 Salisbury-class frigates from the British Royal Navy, 1 Leopard-class frigate and 25 Amphion-class submarines. (All were cancelled OTL, but maybe being bought might bring them into existance.) There are pre-liminary plans for warships to possibly be built on the Schleswig-Holstein coastline, to guard both West Germany (and Denmark and the rest of Europe) from potential East German attacks.
 * Luftwaffe: For the Air Force, there is an order for 80 Saab 32 Lansen fighters from Sweden and 100 Supermarine Swift fighters from the United Kingdom.
 * Alongside these deals, we wish to sign a Permanent Alliance Pact with the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, in case the GUD breaks down.
 * UK Diplomacy: Agrees.
 * US Diplomacy: Agrees as well.
 * Well technically you weren't asked... unless you're talking about the GUD thing... but even then the UK agreed, and they are a senior member so... 
 * We're agreeing to sell you our stuff.
 * French Diplomacy: OK.
 * South Korea: Continues reconstruction of cities. New designs are used due to better defensive layouts incase of more city battles. New companies are formed with goverement funding in order to bring in money. The companies begin to design cheap household objects that can be sold abroad and undercut the prices of other corperations. Also South Korea aplies fro a place in the GuD
 * The United States welcomes the South Koreans into the GUD.
 * Romania: Send supplies to support the north Vietnam, we also recognise the communist government in the north-west and begun to send them weapons and formed their troops in case of a capitalist aggression (the troop formation is secret). The natives of the colonies are called to revolt as the capitalist take their ressources without sharing anything, a small quantities of weapon is send in secret to some African colony to prepare a revolt. Egypt is invited to become a Warsaw Pact ally for further protection. Romania offer its moral support to the Sukarno uprising.
 * There is no North Vietnam, read my caption under the mod post.
 * ok
 * Greece: Sends troops to retake the Communist parts of the country. Parliament passes the Anti-Communist Initative (AΠ) to ensure by all means Greece remains a free capitalist nation. It asks all GUD members to spare some troops in order to end this uprising quickly.


 * ​ ​  South Korea: Our country knows how it is to be threatened by the communists. Because of this we offer you a division of our finest troops.


 * USSR: The USSR sends soldiers and supplies to Communist Greece, North Vietnam, and supporters of the Sukarno uprising. The USSR also offers support to Communist China to take back Taiwan and to North Korea for future use. All members of the Warsaw Pact are offered admittance into the UHR. Diplomats are sent to French territories in Africa to stir up uneasiness and rebellious feelings. A new propaganda campaign is shipped out, this time featuring a small orphan who is starving, symbolising the obvious flaws of Capitalism.
 * Greece part has been overturned, and America has got Sukarno on their side, trade agreement.
 * So who is the one I should be supporting here? Sukarno or the people he's rebelling against?
 * Neither.
 * Crap.
 * WTH?? This is getting a little ridiculous. Make up your mind so I can post without half of it getting crossed out!
 * Mexico: The 1956 elections are called to be more challenging for the PRI. Communist, Fascist, Liberal, Conservatives and Independent, challenging the socialist rule of the PRI. Though, many predict it to be another PRI victory as it has been for the last decade. It thanks British Aid for the hurricane, and helps any victims.
 * The United States begins cleanup in the North. President Eisenhower ignores protests for equal rights. Meanwhile he starts to recuperate from his illness. Many do not see the likeliness of a Republican victory in 1956. Meanwhile another propaganda campaign is sent out, and it shows a group of toddlers playing in a field when communist (cough Soviet cough) soldiers march past, killing them. Troops are sent to fight in Vietnam on the Republic of Vietnam's side.
 * Romania D: denounce the American imperialism and send some agents in the United States disguised in refugee to promote communism to the black and in the poorest quarter of the southern United States.
 * Thats not happening. A) What refugees?, B) The US propaganda has ensured that thats just going to get your agents lynched, and C) Denounce american imperialism? Before sending in agents? So C) The above is BS and isn't happening.


 * A)Refugee from the communist oppression, B)they were undercover C)I was not planning a full revolution, just cause some minor trouble. I was really not sure about that and did I must only understand that I can`t cause minor communist agitation in the United States? just a question, no offend against you.
 * First of all, that was not me. I am America, I don't know who's arguing with you, Romania. A: Refugees would not come all the way to America, they would go to the nearest GUD nation or a neutral nation. So they would end up in Switzerland, Austria, or West Germany. Also B: McCarthyism is wide spread, any pro-commies would be lynched indeed, and C: What imperialism? My whole post was about repairing my internal matters: talking about the elections, the prez, and the hurricane cleanup.
 * Just wondering, Scraw, what's the initial message behind the propaganda?
 * To show that commies, Soviets specifically, have no mercy.
 *  very interesting...
 * I think it was the UK, I think someone could had go to west Germany and then fly to the USA but the McCarthyism point is very convincing, the imperialist part was strange I admit it. forget the post, I saw the light there but dont forget that the American communist party still exist in th 21e century, even in the America, it is not completely death.
 * Israel: The nation amps up its military as the modernization programme continues, and more houses continue to be built for Jewish immigrants to try and get them out of the Ma'abarot camps. Food production is stepped up in an effort to stop the rationing and imports increase too. Unemployment begins to fall as more people are employed in the construction industry, food industry, military forces, and manufacturing as more factories are built in the country. Skirmishes continue near the Gaza strip as Palestinian Fedayeen attack Israel from the Egyptian occupied Gaza strip. Israel ask to join the GUD (Global Union of Democracy) mostly to help protect Israel from further aggression by the Arabs, and to give the GUD a base of operations in the middle east.
 * Ethiopia: Retraining of the military forces, chiefly the army and the air force, is complete. Equipping the military with modern equipment begins at once, and the construction for four new destroyers at Massawa is underway. The railroad network is extended to include the cities of Jijija and Aksum. The modernization of the cities is quick, as the influx of citizens into the urban centres provides the government with plenty of manpower to push ahead with the construction projects throughout the country.
 * Indonesia: the military junta declares a state of emergency and the army begins cracking down on pro sukarno rebels along with forcing them out of the cities, rebels are rounded up and entire groups are executed without mercy be them sukarno supporters or communist aggitators. (by the way Sukarno was an anti western figure and also anti socialist. the usa wanted him out of power so did the ussr) The government continues pushing forward the industrialization program and the improvement of infrustructure. the indonesian currency is put under a regulation to control prices and to improve the inflation that Sukarno left the nation in. a cultural revival and education program to help bring back traditions and culture that was twisted and destroyed during the dutch colonization period and the japanese occupation.
 * So is Indonesia socialist?
 * indonesia under sukarno was somethig of an authoritorian socialist state with bad management the junta is pro capatalist pro right wing so no its not socialist. it is a pro nato or pro western regime.
 * So why would the USSR want him out of power?
 * he openly attacked the ussr and also hated communists he was socialist in his economic policies but was anti warsaw pact while in power something like china after the sino-russian split and like yugoslavia under the rule od tito anto ussr.
 * He's like another Hitler. We both hate him and he hates us both.
 * Good to know. 
 * Egypt: Egypt, despite the threats from Great Britain and attempts of a peaceful negotiation, continues to build up their forces with Soviet aid. The government declares that it will listen to negotiation if it is to be also mediated by the members of the UN as well as the Soviet Union. However, in the meantime, Egypt begins moving to secure allies in the Middle East against Israel, and after accepting the trade deal and alliance with Romania, begins to ask for an alliance with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria.
 * French Response: It is outraged that it is letting the USSR gaining influence in Egypt. All France wants with Egypt and the UK is to share control of the canal.

1956.0

 * 1) Five US Christian missionaries in Ecuador are killed by native Indians.
 * 2) Nasser in Egypt leads a revolution calling for the end of the monarchy. He also calls for elimination of the Jewish state and Egyptian control over the Suez Canal.
 * 3) The civil war in Indonesia still rages on.
 * 4) Morrocco and Algeria accept the dominion offer, while a separate region in Algeria for French settlers has been established.
 * 5) East Germany responds to West Germany by doing the similar thing it is doing. 
 * 6) Jews across the Arab world are persecuted by their Arab bretherem.
 * 7) There are calls from USA's allies to eliminate segregation. 
 * 8) North Korea begins a massive arms build-up to conteract the South Korean efforts.
 * Greece: Forms the Mediterranean Union for nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea in order to strengthen relations. It specifically invites France, Italy, and Israel to the alliance and any other Mediterranean nation is invited. Meanwhile, the AΠ is going well, with many left-wing parties, even moderate ones, being imprisoned. However, widespread criticism over how Parliament is setting up a "right-wing state" has come up. The Speaker stated that this is far from the truth and that this is all part of eliminating communism from Greece.
 * West Germany: Continues placing all the bought weaponry in place to defend the free West German state. Wants to build massive defense fortications throughout the eastern borders, to protect the country, along with rest of Western Europe, from the Communists. Plans to build an 800 km steel wall at the border of West Germany, for protection from East Germany and Czechoslovakia. We would help fund an Anti-Communist Wall to be built in Austria and Italy. Meanwhile, we send a defensive pact with Austria, while we respect their neutrality, should the Warsaw Pact states invade Austria, Bundeswehr troops will be sent immedietly to protect Austria. Meanwhile, secret radio reports are sent through shortwave radio services of Deutsche Welle, calling for any non-Communists in East Germany to immedietly come to West Germany, or at least West Berlin, before the communist government retaliates.
 * France is glad that the situation in Algeria and Morrocco is finally over and can now let it slide. They send their condolences to the murdered missionaries in Ecuador and hopes that the government can do something about it. They condemn the persectutions of the Jews and begin spreading order to anti-Semitic riots in French North Africa. They begin housing Jews in their country as refugees. They continue to support Indonesia against Sakurta. They begin helping West Germany in its defense fortifications.
 * Greek D: We invite you to join the Mediterranean Union, an international organization promoting peace across Europe.
 * USSR: The USSR continues shipping arms to North Korea and Egypt. The USSR calls on East Germany to lock down it's borders with capitalist and/or GUD states.
 * UK: (That was me with the Romania thing, sorry, forgot to sign) Sends a fireteam of Spec Ops soldiers into Egypt. Nasser is found and quickly assasinated, along with several others of his revolution. Meanwhile, UK ships move into the Med. to quickly react if war breaks out over the canal. The program of economic stimuli is continued, especially in the colonies and Commonwealth. Sends a battalion of 800 soldiers as peacekeepers to Indonesia (somewhat like what they did in Sierra Leone), mainly to protect foriegn nationals but they end up also protecting the Indonesians themselves (again, like Sierra Leone). All Brtish citizens are advised to leave Egypt and Indonesia.
 * Egyptian People Response: They begin rioting all across Egypt to avenge the death of their beloved leader.
 * USSR Diplomacy (sort of): The USSR is outraged by this act of agression towards Egypt and publicly denounces the assassination and demands that the UK pay some sort of reparations to Egypt immediately, or face the consequences.
 * French Response: Oh well done. You just made the situation worse. You just ruined the last chance for peace.
 * Saudi Diplomacy: Oh Great. I guess war is just around the corner.
 * Ahem, people. Assasins don't tend to shout out who they are working for before leaving. You don not know that it was the UK, only that the guy was assasinated. But, since I didn't explicitly say, it, I'll live with the consequences. The Royal Guns (talk) 06:00, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * UK D: Mortified that the assasination got out, several ministers are kicked up to Lords, a few generals are fired, a public speech is made, blaming a few ministers- scapegoats, reparations are paid to Egypt, the fireteam are given new names and sent off to Australia, and the USSR is informed exactly what it can go and do to itself.
 * Lol that's freaking funny CourageousLife (talk) 19:34, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Saudi Arabia: The rail system across Saudi Arabia is finished, and improvement of the road infastructure begins. Meanwhile, the Saudi Army continues to modernize, and asks to purchase 40 M41 Walker Bulldog tank's from the United States, as well as fifty P-51 Mustangs. The first naval vessel is launched by Saudi Arabia, although small, can still protect Saudi interests until an bigger navy could be developed.
 * East Germany: Locks down all borders with the West and locks down all broadcasts, effectively sealing the West out. East Germany begins re-arming the Wehrmacht with the help of the USSR. East Germany asks the USSR for developmental aid and troops to help secure the border with the decadent capitalists. East Germany supports Communist China. East Germany sends military funding to North Korea to help counter South Korea.
 * South Korea: Using US funding, the economy begins to recover. In response to North Korea's buildup, more advanced weapons are issued to the armed forces, regardless of cost. The DMZ continues to be fortifies. The President of SK announces on live television and radio that he is willing to talk to Kim il Sung face to face in the middle of the DMZ to negotiate before matters get out of hand. He also states that the US funding to being used to rebuild the country North Korea almost destroyed, the USSR is funding it second attempt.
 * Indonesia: the military junta continues forcing the sukarno supporters into isolated locations in the eastern island, due to the armies efficiency in jungle war fare and guerilla tactics due to its experience in the war against the dutch it is able to fight the rebel forces effectively, sukarno is put under house arrest within the reaches of a highly defended Jakarta so that the rebels cant free him with plans to execute him to cut off the leadership of the rebels. the government continues pushing forward the modernization and industrialization process, it decides to begin selling oil at relitively cheap prices to the USA, France, and The U.k. in exchange for firearms and aid in building up its industry. The cultural revival continues with relitively goof results bringing back some national pride and sense of unity in diversity is started to be felt amonst the different island cultures.
 * South Korean Diplomacy: We are modernising and need trading partners that we can rely on. We offer aid in your industrialiation in return for trade agreements and a alliance to show North Korea we are not going to back down from their threats.
 * Indonesian Diplomacy: The government accepts the south korean proposal.
 * Israel: The nation amps up its military as the modernization programme continues, and borders are fortified especially the Israeli-Egyptian border. Even more Jewish immigrants arrive in Israel following the increased Arab persecution. The building of homes for the immigrants, refugees and Ma'abarot residents is stepped up as Israel's cities expand outwards greatly. Food production is stepped up in an effort to stop the rationing. Unemployment rises a bit this year as more immigrants enter the country but the increase isn't as sharp as in previous years, mostly thanks to the growing construction and food industries, growing military forces, and more factories being built in the country. Skirmishes continue near the Gaza strip as Palestinian Fedayeen attack Israel from the Egyptian occupied Gaza strip. Israel ask to join the GUD (Global Union of Democracy) mostly to help protect Israel from further aggression by the Arabs, and to give the GUD a base of operations in the middle east. Israel also accept Greece's offer to join the Mediterranean Union.
 * Ethiopia: Following the end of the modernization program in the nation, Ethiopia begins to stock up weapons which are produced at the Gafat Armament Engineering Complex, and the production of light to medium tanks begins at once. 350 tanks of all sizes are expected to enter service by the end of the year. Additionally, the economy begins to expand with the steady industrialization of the nation with the introduction of new laws that allow for easier business growth in the cities. This has allowed the nation to finally begin clawing its way to first world status.


 * ​ Romanian diplomacy: We offer to establish diplomatic relation and a trade pact, we are also ready to send you a advisor to help you to developp your nation until its complete modernisation,
 * Ethiopian Diplomacy: We're happy to accept Romania's generous offer of support.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: A counteroffer: Ethiopia can join the GUD and it'll get help from most GUD members to modernize and become a strong ally in Africa, don't accept Romania's offer. They're pitiful communist nations that don't advance because communism won't promote growth especially in developing nations like yours(and besides Ethiopia always leaned towards the West)
 * USSR Diplomacy: The USSR offers diplomatic relations and a trade pact in conjunction with Romania, as well as developmental advisors.
 * WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH. You cannot even think of that yet. A one year modernization program doesn't make you ANYWHERE close to even starting the ascent to FWN. Also, America today OTL doesn't produce 350 tanks a year. You need a full war economy in a heavily developed nation. You need some 20 factories all concentrating on building tanks for an entire year. A) your government doen't have that kind of money, and B) what few private investors you have as of yet aren't going to fund that kind of thing. They'll help with your modernization plan, but hell, you won't have more than 5, and they'll all be fairly small. The Royal Guns (talk) 15:24, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough.
 * Romania: Diplomats are send in Jordan, Syria, Lybia and Lebannon to convice them to join Egypt in its revolution as the West steal your oil by buying it at a cheap price, they are aslo ask in secret to join Egypt if Egypt attack the state of Israel. Saudi Arabia is secretly contact as well with the same offer. The military are build up and modernise with the Soviet Union help and it is ask if we can buy 35 mig-29 and received the permission to use one or two place in their black sea shipyard(we will pay of course) to build 30 cruisers and 20 frigates, the project is think to take six year with Soviet help. Propaganda against the west is increase to increase the support of the government and the number of people who join the military. We respond to the Greek communist that we accept to form the troop of the real Greek government (the communist) we give them weapons and even try to form some Greek commando units.
 * USSR Diplomacy: Accepts all terms
 * Egypt: Despite Nasser's death, the Revolution continues unhindered, but is split in three, between the few remnants of the pro-Nasserist movement who wish to continue Nasser's policies, which is the Nationalization of the canal and the destruction of Israel. A more extremist party built along the lines of Communism with some Nasserist tendencies, and sought to establish a Proletariat State, and the Monarchy, who wish to restore the Mohammad Ali Dynsaty as Kings of Egypt. Rioting continues in the streets of Cairo as the military is called in to quell the violence. (It should benoted that at the time when the Map Game started [1955] the monarchy was already abolished, and was at the time a Republic.)
 * East Germany: We are willing to porvide aid to the Proletariat cause. The People must be free, Long Live Socialism!. We are sending military and financial aid immediantly.
 * USSR Diplomacy: We will back the Communist revolutionaries.
 * Brazil: Nuclear research goes along very well, with the aid of France and the United States. Communist propaganda throughout South America is destroyed and replaced with capitalist propaganda. Brasilia continues construction.
 * South Korean D: We would like to join in your nuclear program.
 * Brazilian D: As in, getting weapons/energy or just helping out?

1957.0
(can we go by years, it seems people have a hard time realistically doing things in their nations by half-years) if not feel free to put it as 1956.5
