Axis vs Allies: Revolutions (Map Game)

Hello, and welcome to the fourth installment of the Axis vs Allies series. The last few games, while they were successes, only one did finish and the UN pages and Diplomacy pages were not used very often. I hope to change that this game. Also, I hope all you guys know what I'm getting on with Axis vs Allies, Axis vs Allies: Reloaded, then Axis vs Allies: Revolutions :).

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

It is never too late to join.

Rules
1. We are going to limit the nations count to one, as that when a person gets two countries; they usually neglect the other one.

2. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. . . IS NOT IT! But you must be plausible.

3. Nuclear programs may start in 1940.5 We will use Random.org to determine who starts it first and who gets it. Also, it will take at least four years to develop nukes if you are one of the “Big Cheese”. (US, Germany, Soviets, Japan)

4.One Half year per day.

5. Make a profile on the Diplomacy Page

6. You can be an occupied nation and declare independence.

7. We will have resolutions/stuff when the UN is created at United Nations Page

8. For now, I am the mapmaker.

9. New turns start at 00:00:01 UTC.

10. We go by half-years.

11. As for nuke use, the last game was ruined because of implausible use of nukes (admittedly, I was one of them), so while I won’t be making a “rule” on nuke use, USE YOUR HEAD! And moderators will be able to roll back edits.

12. Game is archived every 15 years.

13. On the United Nations page, which will be created around 1945-47. There will be a Security Council, with five permanent members, and ten impermanent members. To keep things simple, the impermanent members will rotate on Mondays. It is a three year term. Look at: United Nation Rules for more information. For the non-permanent Security Council, I will decide every turn with Random.org.

Map "rules"
A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "success:"
 * 1) Always copy the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * 2) Make all nations different colours.
 * 3) Try to make one for each half-year.
 * 4) Coloured circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
 * 5) It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as this to get inspiration.

West Germany is under my control. Warmn555

The orange is Allied control. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:28, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

West Germany is an occupied Allied (American, really) state that has a figurehead leader who has little to no power other than asking the Americans to do things for him. Hasta la vista, baby. (I'll be back.) 23:20, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Um --- China isn't communist. No nation has attempted to influence what is left of China whatsoever it is under a nationalist regime that survived the war due to the fact that the Japanese and E.A.T.S.P. killed off Mao and the communist movement. Also, I think it should be added a bit more land to the west. Read my post at the end of the war. When Japan nuked China it took another piece of China in the aftermath along the Manchurian border.

1949

 * Korea: Korea continues to build up their military, as well as their infrastructure and economy. The stock market is a booming success, as is the Myrae Corporation. Cars start appearing on the streets for wealthy people, although within a few years they will be mass produced and common. Strip mining also starts in the northern mountains, where high deposits of coal, iron, gold and other minerals are discovered. Korea continues its nuclear program, receiving a little aid from Japan.
 * Japan: Japan supplies Korea with the diagrams for the final nuclear weapon that was used on China.
 * Japan: with the Chinese finally broken and battered, Japanese forces begin focusing on the reorganization of occupied China, brutally killing all resistance though most has died out with the massacres in the previous year. The cities of Shanghai, Qingdao, Shantou, Baihei, and Guangzhou are annexed as Imperial Territories similar to Tonkin and the construction of military bases in the cities begin at once. Occupied China is reorganized to fit the Three Chinese Puppet states, all of occupied Inner Mongolia is ceded to Manchuria. All of China north of Nanjing is giving to the Republic of Northern China and the republic is placed under strict Japanese-Manchurian Occupation, while all of occupied China below Nanjing is placed under the administration of the Nanjing Regime and the republic is placed under joint E.A.T.S.P. occupation. The concentration camps are slowly taken down as the prisoners are allowed to go back to their destroyed homes. The official death count of the war is released: 5,600,000 Japanese, some 40,000 Thai, 340,000 Manchu, 7000 Koreans, and about 20,000,000 Chinese. It is unknown if these numbers are accurate but many speculate that the Chinese numbers are extremely lower then the real number, with some saying as many as 40,000,000 Chinese were killed in the conflict. The Japanese forces in China are down scaled from 14,000,000 to 6,000,000 with the rest either being decommissioned or sent to other Japanese military bases around East Asia - mainly Indonesia or Manchuria. About 4,000,000 Japanese troops return home with significant social and mental problems, little chances of work. The usage of Opium amongst returning troops surges. This is accompanied by a rise in domestic violence and rapes back home. The reconstruction of the mainland begins as Japanese aid in the reconstruction of the Chinese homeland they destroyed. The Zaibatsu begin increasing their presence in the mainland by funding the reconstruction in exchange for economic rights in the region. The Railway continues under construction with forced labour still in practise. Research into computers continues with the first model believed to be ready by 1952. The first ever rocket test is made and while the rocket is able to launch into the air it soon malfunctions leading to the project being continued despite the mixed results. Elections are fast approaching and Yamamato goes to represent the Liberal Coalition as the choice for Prime Minister while the Conservative faction is lead by the previous Prime Minister who maintains little popularity. The communists demand the right to participate; their protest is met by a nationwide crackdown on socialists and communists alike and their continued restriction from politics. Plans to design a civilian program are made. The designing of an efficient assault rifle continues.
 * Italy; Military buildup continues secretly while Italy's new Imperial Federation government is now in full power. Secret nuclear bomb research continues somewhere in the country. Fleeing Germans are secretly welcomed to Italy. France is offered a trade deal and offers some money to pay for damages while all Communists are now out of Italy and the other parts of the Imperial Federation. France is asked for an alliance to keep Italy out of the Communist camp.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases first issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square); with main characters Koishi, Kogasa and Miko, and they go out to find a new culprit who is being a threat. By the end of the first issue the suspect is said to be some . Prime Minister Khuang Abhaiwongse continues giving women more rights as well. Meanwhile some cities and towns have elected women governors too, along with few more provinces.
 * Argentina: With the American non-intervention, the creation of a greater Latin America project can begin and as promised, the conquered people are to be treated as equal and support will be sent to fight communism if needed. The invasion of Chile continues and support is asked of Brazil. The Chilean road system is ordered to be kept intact to allow our troops to move. However, the air force is patrolling to destroy any enemy thus preventing them to freely pass. The two carriers built are of great use and the Chilean navy is decimated. Helicopters continue to be researched along with a jet engine. Brazil is invited in this last project to improve its air force, as well. The third carrier continue being built. Patagonia industrialisation and modernisation begins.
 * Turkey: The Turks' march into Greece continues and the capture of Athens does much to boost morale for the troops. The establishment of a modern road system takes place with the first highway system to link Ankara and Istanbul within the next year. A third carrier is under construction, the TNS Sulieman, which is to head the Turkish Third Fleet out of Antioch.
 * Brazil: Continues the war against Peru and the Suriname Netherlands, while continuing the Brazilian part of the Great War through the Americas. Brazil asks the USA and Argentina to form a Continental support alliance in case of an intrusion from outsiders into the American continent (more likely to be Soviets or Japanese) and begins asking for military update from the USA, and that USA defends the Greeks and drop a bomb on Turkey unless they stop attacking Greece and give Thracia or European Turkey as part of their legacy. The navy continues to be updated.
 * Argentina D: asks support to Brazil to subdue Chile. We also agree to the Continental Alliance.

1949.5
Guys - you guys don't have to wait for me to start turns.
 * Korea: Korea continues to amp up their military. They take the plans the Japanese have provided and begin to construct one - it is estimated to be finished by 1952 or 1953.
 * Japan: Research into all previous projects continues and research into jets and copters begin as well. An early Assault rifle is designed but fails in the tests so the design returns to the drawing board. During the attempts to make the Computer the inventors accidentally create the first TV which is unknown of its uses for now. The rocket program continues with plans to turn it into a space program by the early 60's. Reconstruction in E.A.T.S.P. China continues and martial law is declared as insurgents begin appearing again, but the government begins loosening its grip on the puppet regimes. Industry is improved and brought up to technical levels in Japan. Oil production from Indonesia is subsidized by the Japanese government. Elections are held and the Liberal coalition lead by Yamamato ride into the Imperial Diet, a return of freedom of speech within Japan happens. The Thai comics are looked at with great interest by the Japanese intellectual class as a way to approach the younger generation through new methods and an experimental manga is launched in Tokyo about a soldier who fought in the war. It is met with mixed results. The economic strength of the Zaibatsus is now on the level of the American corporations like Standard Oil and Ford. The Monument of the Sun is put forward for construction in Tokyo to honor the rise of Japan in the Orient, along with the remembrance shrine that will be built surprisingly in Shanghai, a move which many believe to be a direct insult to Chinese. The new government immediately begins pushing forward plans to help the returning veterans readjust to peaceful society and to avoid further incidents.
 * The United States decides not to nuke anyone because there is no one to nuke. More troops are withdrawn from Mexico for Europe to win over the war. I think Germany is dead. President Wallace asks to meet with Trotsky of the Soviet Union and Tojo of Japan to discuss some sort of postwar agreement between the three powers regarding the use of nuclear weapons. Meanwhile I proclaim that Hitler has been captured in Mecklenburg by US forces. He is sent off to ??? to await trial at the Hague or something. A new aircraft carrier is completed, the last until 1953.0 and the US also has now reached a total of six carriers. A new type of battleship is developed, much better and more modern than the presently obsolete-ish ones, but they cannot be built without massive hordes of money. American soldiers intercept some fleeing rocket designers from Germany, including Wernher von Braun, as well as one V2 rocket, and they are taken to America to be worked on. They ask the Japanese and then the British if they are interested in pooling resources to make some sort of combined acceleration program for our separate programs.
 * Soviet D: Leon Trotsky will meet with Wallace.
 * Japanese D: A member of the Imperial Diet will meet with the Americans to discuss terms, but the rocket program is nearly completed and the next phases in the project are about to begin.
 * Turkey D: The Turkish government requests a trade pact with the American government and seeks investment in their nation.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, seeing the power of nuclear weapons, begins SECRET research into a hydrogen bomb. Meanwhile, research continues on rocketry, radar and computers. The Soviet High Command develops an assault rifle dubbed the "AK-47" and is immediately equipped to all arm branches of the Soviet Military. Construction begins on modern battleships and aircraft carriers and the T-54 is released to the world.
 * Turkey D: The Turks wish to sign a SECRET military pact with the Soviet Union, as well as a non-aggression pact for the Turks' planned invasion of Persia. Exclusive oil rights will be given to the Soviets, as well as access to Turkish military bases built in the region.
 * Soviet D: We SECRETLY agree to the military pact, non-aggression pact, and also provides Turkish troops with AK-47's and T-54's, which are extremely new, but have been field tested and ready for combat.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square), to be released next year, and he also plans to have all his manga translated so that more can enjoy the manga outside of Thailand. Thanks to the popularity of his mangas, some Thais begin creating their own manga.
 * Argentina: The invasion of Chile continues and Brazil is asking for support. A diplomat is sent to the USA to offer money for its projects in exchange for support in the war against Chile. The third carrier is complete and another is planned for the next year. The research to develop a chopper continues along with a jet engine. Brazil asks support to develop a jet. A new medium tank is introduced.
 * Brazil: We will support you. Joint development of Chopper with jet engine will start immediately while the invasion of Suriname continues, as well as the war with Peru. 50,000 soldiers march into a swift and fast movement to Lima and another 60,000 into Paramaribo, and the fleet begins constructing ten carriers, set to be finished for the next ten years. USA is asked again for a joint continental defence and a joint Nuclear program for the Americas as well as a Free trade Program for the entire Continent. As well, Brazil nominates Turkey for the bombing as they are the current threat to Greece and Bulgaria.
 * Turkey: The Turks continue their invasion of Greece and prepare for an assault on Bulgaria to reclaim the Turkish lands in Europe outside of Istanbul. Additionally, the third Turkish carrier is completed and sent off to Antioch where it shall be operational. The Turks SECRETLY begin looking for ways to start their own rocket program to stave off any invasions of their lands.
 * UK: We accept the US offer and more rocket knowledge is gained from Germany. Britain sends 400,000 men to help the Greeks to fight the Turks. We also declare war on Turkey.

1950

 * Korea: Korea continues to amp up their military. They take the plans the Japanese have provided and begin to construct one - it is estimated to be finished by 1952 or 1953. Troops are recalled from China. Some protests begin from students, who consider the government to be a dictatorship - they are harshly put down.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The government, while not wanting to interfere in Korean politics, suggests that the Korean state take steps to slowly make their government more transparent and democratic so that our place in the cold war can be better secured with the support of the populace. Also we offer to begin selling Japanese firearms to Korea.
 * UK: Troops continue helping the Greeks fight off the Turks. We also request that the fighting in South America stops.
 * You keep acting implausibly in this game without apparently paying attention to everything going on around you. Unless you want London, Manchester, Birmingham, Winchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Dublin, and basically the entire UK blown up or getting yourself banned, I suggest you turn around.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square); Koishi, Kogasa and Miko continue the investigation, and the clues lead into Burmese region, by the end they hear that the suspect is named Aya.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: the Japanese government offers to sell Japanese weapons and machinery to Siam at low prices.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Khuang Abhaiwongse accepts the offer.
 * The United States military captures several high-ranking German officials. The German chain of command places leadership in the hands of Erwin Rommel. Rommel surrenders Germany to the United States and then commits suicide. America occupies Western Germany, while the Soviets hold the other side. Hitler is moved to a more secure location along with the newly secured Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Herman Goering, Albert Speer, and the others. German troops who refuse to accept defeat burn down the Reichstag and conduct many raids against Allied-held major cities. Complete withdrawal of troops from Mexico is near, possibly by next year. In the meantime, America has total sovereignty over Baja California, the Rio Grande states, and Sonora plus Chihuahua.
 * Global Event: The Second World War ends after 12 (correct?) years of fighting with the Surrender of Germany. All participants (excluding the occupied Germany and Italy) are obliged to come to the signing of the peace treaty.
 * Japan: The Japanese economy is slowly reaching a new boom with the war over and the Chinese market now open to Japanese goods. Japanese society begins returning to normalcy as the social programs set by the liberal Diet are put into action and freedom of speech is given once again to the populace. The reorganization of China continues as the empowerment of the new Chinese republic goes on. The military occupation continues as extensive anti-guerrilla movements continue led now by the highly trained I.S.R.F. Japan Refuses to withdraw from China as it is a necessary part of the post war. Should the British so much as get involved there will be serious repercussions. Reconstruction of China continues and the railway continues to be constructed. Tonkin is settled by a few thousand Japanese to create a Japanese elite within the Imperial territory and the same will be done with the Imperial cities in China in the future. As an experiment to see how it does in the open market the first television is put on sale based on the prototype developed last year. Research into the computer continues with some but very little progress due to the complexity of the task at hand. The rocket project continues as it has made great strides since its beginning and a new design is made for the internal mechanisms to get better results. Jet, chopper and other research projects are continued. The Japanese government, in an attempt to become more transparent and realign itself with the East, begins planning an East Asia Tribunal for crimes committed by both Japanese and Chinese during the war and with the plan to publicly condemn the continuation of Imperialism by the western powers in East Asia (Portugal and the UK). While trade will continue and relations will remain cordial Japan promises to lead the E.A.T.S.P. in this time where its role in the shaping of East Asia is crucial. Using this decree Japan begins to publicly support nationalist groups within European colonies in East Asia, stating that peaceful means must be used to achieve this while under the table Japanese arms and instructors are sent to India, Burma, Malaysia, and East Timor. A new better rifle design is made and the testing begins. It is the Arisawa 50 (OTL FN FAL) and widespread distribution of the gun begins. Offers to begin selling the gun to the rest of the E.A.T.S.P. once trials are finished is made with Manchuria and Indonesia accepting while the rest is unknown. Plans to update the military creation of new war-machines are made for the mid 1950's. Plans to eventually give voting rights to women are made.
 * Argentina: The invasion of Chile is continuing and pro-annexation propaganda which promises water to every village, end to poverty, equality and food for everyone begins to be put in the occupied territories. Democratic reform also begins to be passed which allows citizens to politely put the government policy and propose alternatives is passed. Regional elections are also created. The research to develop jet and choppers continues with the first chopper prototype being built. However, it failed to fly up to thirty seconds. Many important roads of Chile are taken, effectively reducing the mobility of the Chilean troops. The railroad in Argentina is almost complete and is planned to be finished in six months. We will, with the permission of Brazil, link our part with the one which is ready on your side.
 * Turkey: With SECRET aid from the Soviets, the Turkish military launch a full-scale invasion of Persia, determined to finish what they started more than a decade ago. The Turks make additional gains in Greece, and capture the Greek leadership outside of Athens. Plans to put them on trial are underway in Ankara next year.

1950.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to pull troops out of China. Protests against the government continue, as do the crackdowns. Students begin to throw rocks at policemen, and the army is called to back them up. The nuclear program continues. However, when it is leaked that their government is working on a nuclear weapon, mass protests occur within the nation.
 * Japan: Operations in China are slowly reformed to involve simply anti-guerrilla ones and policing to try and end the brutality towards Chinese and more help towards the Chinese community begins. The troop numbers are slowly scaled down to 2,500,000 on the mainland and 700,000 in Japan, and 1,500,000 troops spread out throughout the E.A.T.S.P. on different bases while the reserves are at 1,000,000, plans are made to eventually move larger numbers of the active force to the reserves and down scale the number of soldiers since we are in peace times now. industrialization of the Chinese republics continue, the railway continues construction. More civil liberties are given to the population and the government begins reforming the education and health services to improve them. The project to begin converting nuclear technology to civil uses begin with plan to create the first nuclear plant by 1957. research into all current projects continue the Arisawa 50 proves the best weapon produced yet and mass distribution begins to the armed forces. Another nuclear bomb is made and is stored away in an unknown location in the Japanese homeland. Japan requests that Korea start listening to the population so that the matter can be resolved quickly.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the third issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square). The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) (OTL HTMS Sri Ayuthiya, though bit more better) begins construction.
 * Italy: Italy agrees to attend the peace conference and STATES IT'S NOT OCCUPIED, and that Italy has been a Federated Republic for several years now following Mussolini's overthrow. Libyan, Eritrean, Somalian, and Italian congressman meet in Rome to discuss what should be done at the peace conference. Secret research on nuclear weapons continues.
 * Soviet Union: Soviet High Command is nearing the end of its rocketry project, while radar is finished and is equipped to every military vessel belonging to the Soviet Union. The helicopter prototype is finished and is scheduled for testing next turn. The AK-47 continues to be produced and it makes most modern weapons (excluding the Japanese Arisawa 50) obsolete to the rapid fire of the AK. Leon Trotsky begins to look into reforms to prevent the stagnation of the Soviet Economy and allow greater outside influence into the country.
 * UK: We continue to help the Greeks fight off the Turks. France is asked to join the war (RNG please) we secretly work on a nuclear project.
 * Argentina: Celebration occurred throughout the nation after that the Argentinian territories and even more are taken. The Chileans in the conquered lands are offered immediate citizenship. It means that they can tell their problem to the government and that they will have the same treatment than any citizens. The reforms are expanded to the new territories. The research to develop a jet engine and a helicopter continues.

1951

 * Korea: Mass student protests continue against the government- more harsh measures are used, as the President seeks reelection next year. The Army is once again called in to handle the students. However, to the shock of both the President and the rest of the government, elements sympathize with the student movement and actually join them. However, most remain loyal to the government. The Massacre of Seoul occurs when soldiers open fire on 500 protesting students. Over 62 students were killed and hundreds injured. The nuclear program continues to develop.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the third issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square): Koishi, Kogasa and Miko arrive in Burma and manage to dig more clues, but it gets difficult as the Tengu manages to leave many tricks behind; soon however Koishi, Kogasa and Miko meet Dr. Sein and he tells another story about the Tengu, which leads to more clues afterwards of where the Tengu could strike next; in the end of the third series, Kogasa manages to find out that the suspect's name is in fact Aya, though it doesn't get much far, yet. The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Under pressure from the government a permanent Zaibatsu sells 20% of its shares in Siamese businesses to local companies to improve local earnings and to promote greater economic cooperation.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Khuang Abhaiwongse agrees to the deal.


 * Japan: The Japanese government, hoping to keep its neighbor and ally stable, once again requests that the government make at least a few reforms to appease the populace. Japanese reforms back home continue to begin improving Japanese living standards and as part of the plans to restore Japan's image abroad and to bring its people back to reasoning ends the practise of referring to the Emperor as a living god and that, while deeply shocking the people of the nation in the long run, is considered to be for the best. The increase in technological studies is also made with the intent to become the forefront nation in technological advancement. Looking to weakening the western position in the east, Japan begins supplying more firearms to nationalist groups in the British colonies in South Asia - mainly Burma and India - while covert operations led by the I.S.R.F. are planned to begin as well to directly aid them in the future struggle for independence. (I really think that resistance movements should begin - or at least widespread protests throughout the colonies around the world since the western powers except the USA are extremely unstable at the moment and probably in large problems economically) The Anti-Guerrilla operations in the Chinese states are becoming more successful as the years of fighting, Japanese aid in reconstruction and the fear of Japanese reprisal are slowing taking their toll on the resistance but it is thought that resistance to Japanese influence will never die away because of the existence of Chinese ultra-nationalists, and communists that will, without a doubt, fight for a reunited China. All Japan can do is make sure they don't get enough support and that region of China is secured militarily. The training of national armies made up of E.A.T.S.P. sympathizers begins supplying them with Sino-Japanese War weapons to avoid the newer weapon models from falling into the hands of rebels. The Arisawa 50 is starting to be widely distributed throughout the armed forces. New machine gun and submachine gun designs are started to continue the replacement of the 1940's weapons that are quickly becoming outdated. The civil nuclear plan continues and a basic reactor is designed. All other research programs are continued with a chopper design nearly completed. The East Asian War Trials begin including the trial of General Shiro Ishii for experimentation on humans during the war, Shigetaro Shimada for treason against the state prior to the war and for crimes against the peace, Colonel Hashimoto for promoting rape and mass killing of Chinese when the high command expressed that this was not allowed, along with several other notables. The Chinese defendants include former Chinese leaders and Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong who was captured during anti-guerrilla operations this year. The railway in China continues to be built now nearing completion. Computer research continues.
 * The United States announces a plan to redevelop destroyed countries that were in the war but asks for help from its fellow Allies. Meanwhile, President Wallace begins his reelection campaign and promises that he'll continues his pro-peace policies.  HE TELLS THE PARTICIPANTS FROM THE WAR THAT YOU ALL NEED TO GO THE TALK PAGE AND SIGN THE TREATY OR DIE.  (Just saying.) Meanwhile, the rocket program continues as well as the hydrogen bomb project. The rocket project is dropped towards the end of May to be replaced with a space program. The National Aeronautic and Space Engineering Administration (NASEAd for short) is founded to carry out the "mission" and it is directed by John E. Hoover and Wernher von Braun. (Since von Braun is working for us and such, I threw him in, and since I decided not make Hoover the FBI director, I threw him in too. Win win!)
 * Imperial Italian Federation: Italy continues massive military buildup and fortifications across the country and along the coast of the homeland and its colonies. The USSR is offered a deal to have Italy become fully communist and a Soviet ally if the USSR doesn't allow Italian division. Italy also states IT WAS NEVER INVADED IN EITHER THE HOMELAND OR AFRICAN COLONIES, AND THEREFOR WE SHOULD NOT BE DIVIDED. WILL ADD MORE LATER
 * You fool, whoever you are, the Allies invaded you a long time ago. The Republic was created under the occupation. Then we let you go. And no one is splitting you up. Read the damn treaty.

1951.5

 * Korea: Korea continues on their nuclear program. The protests continue, with no sign of ending. The government continues to take its hardliner stance against the protests.
 * Japan: The Japanese government decides to remain neutral in the Korean crisis until a later time instead deciding to focus on China and the British to the south. Imperial Forces are slow continuing to break the Chinese resistance. Tonkin is slowly populated with more Japanese looking to make a new future in the Imperial Territory. The government gives permission to create a hydrogen bomb. Japanese research projects are advancing well enough with the PC and Space Programs advancing along nicely. The Designs for the new firearms are made and put into the testing phase. New Tank and APC designs will be made in 1954 along with new plan designs once the jet is completed. The navy begins realizing that the Battleships are going to obsoleted soon by rocket technology and begins making plans to phase them out in favor of more mobile and effective ships. The technological improvement of the industrial sector continues. More rights are giving to women following Siam's example and the improvement of health and education continues. The military continues its modernization as the Arisawa 50 is distributed to most of the forces while the reserves retain the older rifles as the active forces are giving priority. The Railway From Tonkin to Harbin is nearly completed. Indonesian oil now accounts for 40% of all Japanese imports making it the second largest after the down scaled 47% imports from the USA which were once 80%. The industrial production of the E.A.T.S.P. economic bloc now is on a scale similar to the USA and the British Empire. The Empire steps up its pressure on the British to grant independence to its colonies and more firearms are sold to nationalist groups while military personnel are sent - disguised as regular traders - are dispatched to make more connections with these groups and train them in guerrilla tactics. These agents are put under the direct orders of Colonel Nakamura who organizes the efforts into the Imperial Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency Unit making the foundation of the Japanese intelligence services it is under the direct control of the Imperial high command however. A second nuclear bomb is detonated as a test and a demonstration that Japan can produce more to the rest of the world. The Bomb goes off in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Marianas and is widely photographed and publicized by the nation.
 * The United States urges more countries to sign the treaty  BECAUSE YOU HAVE CAUSE YOU FOUGHT IN THE DAMN WAR (YES, DAMN WAR) AND YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU DON'T.  President Wallace continues campaigning for the presidency and peace. Meanwhile, the space program continues with the help of the NASEA and lots of physicists are brought into the project. Wernher von Braun brings up an insane theorem that proves incredibly facilitating when it comes to getting rockets out of the Earth's pull of gravity.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues its research into rocketry and modern weaponry. The Soviet Air Force begins testing jet engines and helicopter, so that they can have advantage in mobility in a time of war. The Soviet Navy begins to phase out battleships in favor of aircraft carriers and submarines. The Soviet Union proposes a joint-program between the USSR and Japan about removing the European Imperialist from Asia and possibly Africa. Meanwhile, the Soviet Spetnaz begins to fund anti-colonialism in Africa, particularly in South Africa and France.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Empire, while intrigued by the idea, has to consider all outcomes including the fact that we are ideologically opposite (keep that in mind - you'd want to wipe out Japan and its allies) but consideration will be taking.
 * Argentina: Chile is invaded once again. After that, a spy is told to have been arrested to spark revolt. In the former Chilean territory, life conditions and economy is greatly improved and many persons there saw the opportunity to be citizens of Argentina. A helicopter is developed and began to be built in limited number to serve as scouts or transports. A jet engine continues to be developed. Racism between Latin American people began to be countered.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square). The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction. Meanwhile, new railways are planned as well.

1952
''' Many African nations declare independence from their masters - Egypt, South Africa and Libya. Some other nations that become independent are India and Pakistan, Iraq and French Syria. '''
 * Korea: Korea continues to work on their nuclear program - however, it receives much heat from student protesters. Martial law is declared as protests reach a climax, with the Seoul and Pusan Riots. Over six police officers are killed in the attacks, as well as 40 protesters. The military patrols the streets and a curfew is in effect. Seven more people are shot when they disobey the curfew. Many people begin to call for the resignation of Kim Il-Sung.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government pleads that Kim Il-Sung begin starting reforms and promote greater liberties to the populace or the state may face deep internal strife. Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Yamamato in a joint public speech request that both sides talk out the matters before things spiral out of control and Yamamato offers to mediate the talks should they begin.
 * Japan: The military continues its operations against the resistance that is still alive in Former China but it is continuing to falter against the massive advantage that the Japanese have gained on them. A general amnesty is offered to all that lay down their arms, the training of the new Chinese armies continue. Plans are made to begin allowing mild socialists parties accepted again in Japan but all hard liners or extremist movements remain forbidden and persecuted. The Nuclear civil program continues and the first nuclear power plant will be built in Tokyo by 1956. The space program continues with plans to launch the first man into space by 1960. The Tatsu 52 (a machine gun based on the Arisawa 50 design) is designed and testing begins. The jet program is nearly completed as is the chopper program and designs are started to start building new aircraft by 1954 are put into place. The computer program continues to advance with it planned to be completed by the end of next year. The trials continue as more war criminals are prosecuted including the former prime minister on charges of promoting the massacre of Wuhan in the final years of the war. Emperor Hirohito is striped of a little more power but the Emperor is still the head of state and the government has no intention of changing this. Industrial production continues to dominate the nation's foreign policy along with better relations with the rest of East Asia. The promotion of independence in Asia from the western powers continues as more operations are carried out by the I.S.R.F. and the I.I.C.I.U. in British colonies including the training of resistance groups, the High Command considers it is time to push the groups in Burma and India to declare independence and they suggest that the Free Indian movement declare independence from the British Empire promising Japanese diplomatic and, if necessary, limited Military support. The East Chinese Railroad is completed at last after seven years of work spanning from Tonkin to Harbin and it is owned by the Zaibatsus bringing in massive revenues from mainland transport of goods and passengers, mainly troops heading north and south. Plans to branch out the railway to the rest of the mainland E.A.T.S.P. are made mainly to Seoul and Bangkok. Mangas begin to pick up in popularity in Japan with the stories of war in China influencing most them at the moment; the manga become a major focal point for political groups along with the newspaper and Radio. The Diet decides to promote complete freedom of speech as long as it does not affect national stability. The navy is slowly modernized to phase out those components considered obsolete. The Imperial Marines are expanded and modernized. Health and education are considered the key to society and they are continuously improved and brought under state control to make it free and accessible to all including minority groups. All minorities within the Empire are granted full citizenship with the right to vote and participate in political activities improving the previous standing of the ethnic groups that are not Japanese. An airway company starts up in Tokyo under state and private control with flights being between Tokyo, Osaka, Harbin, and Taihoku for the moment with plans to expand it.

'''Um - we need to start the UN page and we really need to get under way the decolonization and rise of resistance movements in Europe, oppressed Latin America. In Argentina a democracy movement led by Peron would actually be pretty probable - same in Brazil. Remember, Latinos have always been extremely pro-democratic, and a few communist and nationalist movements would be quite enjoyable to see and crush if you can, that is :P. Nkbeeching '''

'''On it. Hasta la vista, baby. (I'll be back.) 02:22, October 18, 2012 (UTC)'''
 * Global Events: The Treaty of XYZ is signed to end World War II. The United Nations charter is signed in New York City, New York. Voting for the location of the UN HQ is under way.

Democratic rebellions pop up in Eastern Europe. Yugoslavia collapses into several small nations.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union establishes East Germany as a communist state. Meanwhile, reforms are initiated in the Soviet Union to prevent stagnation in the economy and improve the social life of the Soviet people. Research finishes up its rocketry division, and moves its resources over to space. Testing of a prototype rocket begins next turn. Research continues into a jet engine and a helicopter. The Soviet Union SECRETLY supplies the communists in Brazil with an AK-47. Leon Trotsky proposes that the UN Headquarters be located in Switzerland, due to its neutrality.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square) and will be released mid year. The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction. Meanwhile, some railways begin construction while underground railways are planned and proposed.
 * Cuba: Communist refugees arrive in Cuba. The Fascist Party begins to become more active in response to this.
 * Imperial Italian Federation:  SECRET: Italy's government, now that it's free of the wretched allies, is taken out in a coup d'etat and the Italian Kingdom formed. Italy still retains its allied name as a de jure government, but in reality the de facto government is the Kingdom. The secret nuclear bomb research continues in secret facilities somewhere in Italy. Military buildup resumes as does naval and air force buildup. Italy also offers Arabia an alliance and begins secretly funding African rebels in allied Africa, sending guns and weapons as well as money.  Public:  Italy morns the loss of the Axis alliance and trade ends with Britain, France, and the United States while trade with the USSR and its communist allies is strengthened. The USSR is asked for help in reorganizing Italy into the Peoples Constitutional Monarchy of Italy. (A communist state)
 * No such thing as a communist monarchy.
 * Turkey: The SECRET development of nuclear weapons proceeds smoothly, and the first prototype bomb is expected to reach completion in 1954. The Turkish invasion of Persia is also going well, especially with secret Soviet aid. The development of a fourth carrier, the TNS Balyan, is completed and the ship sent to Athens to supervise the occupation and incorporation of the territory into the Turkish nation.
 * Argentina: Argentina government calls the leader of the separatists to reach a settlement in which everyone will be happy, Many troops are send to support the government in Brazil against the communist, the police at home are ordered to arresting all the communists for national security. The invasion of Chile continues anyway as the government of Chile is accused of supporting the rebels. The modernisation and industrialisation of Patagonia continue but the inter Latin America railroad part which is supposed to link Brazil stops construction.
 * The United States asks more nations to join the United Nations. Work continues on the space program and the hydrogen bomb. Meanwhile reconstruction continues in the more industrial region as well as the new southern states.

1952.5

 * Korea: Protests reach a climax just as the nuclear program is finished and the nuclear weapon is detonated at sea. Protesters storm several police departments and kill several dozen police officers. Chaos breaks out in Korea as protesters and police battle it out on the streets, with many police actually joining the protesters.
 * Soviet Union: Reforms continue in the Soviet Government, with many being targeted at the economy and production, importing and exporting. Research continues into the hydrogen weapon and the space program with plans to launch a satellite by 1957. The Soviet Army begins to design a new tank. The RPG-7 is designed to provide a better anti-tank weapon against American and Japanese tanks. The Soviet Navy begins to fund new submarines while beginning to decommission battleships and aircraft carriers.
 * The United States offers France aid to rebuild as well as to construct a nuclear weapon. President Hull is reelected. Work continues on the space program and hydrogen weapon. The hydrogen bomb is tested in the Sonoran Desert. The space program plans a satellite for 1955 or 1956.
 * Argentina:The invasion of Chile continues and the separatist leaders and the government continue to negotiate. The Chileans are proposing autonomous regions where the government will stay based on the one in Argentina but will be ruled by the Chileans; in reality it will be a puppet state. The military continues to support Brazil by hunting the communists. The helicopters continue to be built and the government orders a combat variant to be made. A jet engine continues to be developed - a great breakthrough is to be made next year. The carrier continues to be built and social services improve.
 * Turkey: The Turkish forces in Greece push forth in a second offensive to drive the Greek troops from their holdings in the Peloponnese region in southern Greece. In Persia, the Turks continue their march toward Tehran, with an additional 150,000 troops sent to bolster the fighting men in the area. The development of the I3 Avcısı main battle tank (M3-Stalker MBT), is commissioned by the government as an answer to the Soviet and Japanese tanks under development. Progress on the development of nukes is continuing with all possible haste, and reports on the project have put government officials at ease.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square); Koishi, Kogasa and Miko continue looking for more clues and such about Aya, and later after searching in Monywa, one of the clues leads to the full suspects name: 射命丸 文 (Aya Shameimaru) and leads that she may be somewhere in China; with that in mind Koishi, Kogasa and Miko begin to book a flight to Northwest China; by the end of the issue, they land in Hanzhong, and soon Koishi finds a clue within the airport. The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * Japan: The Imperial army declares an end to martial law with most of the resistance to the new government having been suppressed but the operations will continue, but being reduced to raids and sweeping operations. Many western ideals begin returning to Japan with the continued liberalization of the nation including some more liberal styles of clothing. The industrial boom continues throughout Japan and its fellow E.A.T.S.P. partners. All research programs are continued. The aid and diplomatic backing of independence groups in East Asia remains strong. The military re-arming and re-forming continues.

1953

 * Korea: A full out rebellion occurs in Korea as protesters storm government buildings, capturing the Minister of Health, Agriculture, Defense, and Interior. Kim Il-Sung is also found, and he is hanged outside of the Blue House. A military government takes over with General Lee Sung-Ju taking power.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fifth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square). The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction. Soon elections are held and Lursakdi Sampatisiri becomes the first female Prime Minister of Siam.
 * Japan: The Diet recognizes the new government in power and requests that they remain a part of the E.A.T.S.P. and remain on friendly terms with Japan. The anti-imperialist stance remains strong as Emperor Hirohito begins giving speeches about a free greater Asia, and in a very stunning move he will begin a tour of East Asia starting with Korea to give more speeches, his tour will be guarded by the elite I.S.R.F. The study into Hydrogen bombs continues to not fall behind the Americans, while the space program is making progress as the scientists involved put all their efforts to completing the task at hand. A second rocket is tested in early March which proves successful, leading to an increase in the project's budget. The first computer prototype is made and when it turns on the city of Osaka suffers electric shortages. The Chinese republic receives greater funding foe reconstruction and tons of propaganda are produced showing Chinese and Japanese working together to help rebuild their homes. The basis of this stunt is to show that China and Japan are able to leave aside old wounds. The NTO 52 is designed as a replacement for the old tanks but testing will continue until it is decided to be a good design. Jet research is completed and new plane designs are made immediately for testing, while the first prototype chopper is made.
 * Argentina: The negotiation with the separatists continues and an agreement in which the central government will transform the Chilean territories in an autonomous province which will of course, stay a puppet state, is proposed (1-5 no, 6-10 yes, result: 4 no). The ¨extremist elements began to be hunted and arrested. Repression began to occur against the known rebels who are described as communist supporters. The Patagonia modernisation continues and great progress is made. The modernisation of the Chilean territory continues. A jet engine is tested but many lacks are found. Helicopters continue to be built and developed. A new class began be built armed with machine guns on them (like the OTL Bell HU-1). The USA are asked if they would intervene against the Brazilian communists if need be. Meanwhile, support continues to go to the Brazilian government.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government orders the 3rd Turkish Navy to begin its circumnavigation of the globe to demonstrate the power of the Turkish military. The Turks push deeper into Persia and Greece, and an additional 70,000 troops are sent to the Greek front to bolster and relieve the Turk forces already fighting there. The military sends the government a classified document detailing the plans to detonate the country's first atomic bomb over the Black Sea in 1954. The reports indicate no issues with the project.
 * Imperial Italian Federation:  SECRET: The secret nuclear bomb research continues in secret facilities somewhere in Italy. Military buildup resumes as does naval and air force buildup. Italy also offers Arabia an alliance and begins secretly funding African rebels in allied Africa, sending guns and weapons as well as money.  Public:  Italy mourns the loss of the Axis alliance and trade ends with Britain, France and the United States while trade with the USSR and its communist allies is strengthened. The USSR is asked for help in reorganizing Italy into the Peoples Constitutional Monarchy of Italy. (A communist state)

1953.5

 * Korea: The new government consolidates their power as the military stays in the streets.
 * Japan: The Imperial Government meets criticism from right wing extremists for the role the played in destroying the Glory of the Japanese Empire in 1935 with the coup that removed the hardliners from power. Most of these are silenced in a public speech that spoke of all Japan has achieved because of the coup, and all that could have happened to the Empire should the coup have failed including an un-thought of and unexpected dropping of a nuclear weapon on Japanese soil and the defeat of the Imperial navy should it have followed its previous policies, while Japan is now in a place where it can withstand western nations in a theatrical war which is something Japan doesn't want though. It would have been destroyed 15 years ago and even now Japan would probably be overwhelmed should it ever anger the USA, and the USSR. While some Ultra Nationalists continue to press their complaints on the government most in the country acknowledge what the government says. Yamamato, while saying that war with the west is undesired and unwanted, Japan will remain strong in its stance as the defender of East Asia against western imperialism and the political support for Asian independence continues. The truth about Japanese military involvement in European colonies is, however, not released to the public. The operations in Burma and India are expanded with the I.S.R.F. coming into direct contact with the royal army men, but these encounters end with no British survivors and with false evidence pointing to communist revolutionaries or bandits. The Imperial airlines company begins flights to Tonkin now along with Micronesia. industrial output continues at large levels and even expands due to large markets in East Asia. The last 20 years of Japanese history are officially called the "Years of the Rising Sun" being named after a book written by a political critic who gives a detailed recount of the events that have taken place since the coup, and the change in Japan's methods towards achieving its ultimate goal "equality with the west and supremacy over the East". While the book is not banned it is looked down upon by the government since it claims that Japan's only goal is control while the government promotes the idea of Asian equality. The book isn't a big hit in East Asia but sells quite well in some western nations mainly Great Britain and Portugal, where Japanese as a race are generally feared for having destabilized the status quo in the east and having achieved the status of a nuclear power without western help. (I'm merely writing something that would generally be felt - the same as what many feared in the Soviets) The computer is considered a success and is planned to be used for military use for the moment. More televisions are sold but are considered an over expensive unnecessary luxury good for the rich, while most people remain content with the radio or the movies, which provide more variety and quality. The space program continues to advance with the construction of the nation's first satellite beginning in an attempt to beat the other world powers to the chase. The first chopper prototype is a success and production will begin soon. Jet planes continue to be drafted for the future design. The Tatsu 52 begins being distributed on a wide scale to replace obsolete machine guns, a design to replace the submachine guns continues, though. The new tank model is tested and the results will come out next year. The reforms in education and health are completed and the system stands in high regards for its objectiveness and non-biased stance on history and politics by many critics, while the health system receives extensive funds from the state.
 * The United States tests another, larger hydrogen bomb. Meanwhile work on the space program continues. The satellite is nearing completion and will be launched in two or three years. President Wallace is assassinated in Chicago by former American Nazi. The Nazi escapes the country, and new President Adlai Stevenson is determined to find him. Meanwhile General Dwight D. Eisenhower is removed from West Germany (The German Republican Federation/DRF) and elections are held. Former Weimar politician Karl Wessenberg is elected president, although American troops remain positioned in the DRF.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the fifth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square). The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) continues construction. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction. Also, the ไทยรุ่ง (Thai Rung Union Car) is founded and established.
 * Argentina: A five year program to stabilise the nation starts. The program includes a clean up of the Chilean separatists and communists and the assimilation of some - if possible - and a modernisation of the infrastructure and military forces. More military bases are kept in the former Chilean land. More troops are sent into Brazil to fight the communists in the south. The USA is asked for support in the form of technologies to prevent the takeover of Latin America by the communists. The third jet engine prototype is built and proves itself to work. However, it is not perfect and is built in limited numbers. The fourth carrier continues being built. The literacy in the nation is improved.
 * Turkey: The Turkish military begins to organize for the testing of the nuke as the project is wrapped up. Reports are sent to the government alerting them to the planned test, and political figures prepare themselves for the secret event. In Persia, additional gains are made with the capture of Risht, and in Greece, Corinth falls easily into the hands of the Turkish forces. The Turks push forward with determination as they gear up for another wave of fighting in both countries.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Government formally establishes the Warsaw Pact between East Germany, Poland, Lithuania. Meanwhile, research continues into the hydrogen bomb, while a rocket is tested, and reaches the atmosphere before breaking apart and falling back down to earth. The first prototype jet fighter, nicknamed MiG-1 is tested, and is slightly a success, but needs improvement. A helicopter prototype is also tested, but crashes back down to earth. The Soviet High Command begins to construct submarines, which the Soviets determine are easier to use and more stealthy than battleships or aircraft carriers. The three Soviet battleships are scrapped and the radar is finished. Research begins on sonar for the submarines.
 * Brazil: After a few years victories arises from Brazil to the Communist rebels who are pushed to the rain forest to hide out. While this, the war with Peru is restarted as to reach a Pacific coast for Brazil. Though the newly elected president Carlos Luz, he decides to give a diplomatic view of this and give back Brazilian gains from the war. If Brazil gets a terrain to connect the main territories to the Pacific. It, as well, asks the USA to do something to the Turkish as they have invaded Greece and Persia. You are the only nation with the power to Stop them. The military continues to be built up. The Brazilian Argentinian helicopter after successfully - though not as desired - the three carriers are finished and another three are expected to be built for the next few years. America is asked again to form a capitalist American PACT to avoid European or Soviet intrusion into the Americas
 * ​Argentina D: We would like to offer you access to our Pacific port until you get your own. We also propose to open a second front as we now have a common frontier with Peru.
 * Brazil D: We would appreciate your help into the port access from you - but I would like that for the second front, to wait an answer from the Peruvian government.
 * Also - does someone want to join this map game http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Arabian_Failure_(Map_Game)?

1954
Everyone vote on the new UN resolution- here.
 * Korea: The new Korean government continues to consolidate their power as another nuclear weapon is tested. Most of the military pledges their allegiance to the new government since the leader is a military leader. Korea tells the world that they have nothing to fear from this new regime - and that they will be devoted to peace and prosperity for all. The nuclear program continues, and another aircraft carrier starts to be built. The Office of Social Security is also made, which gives pensions to the elderly, helps the jobless, etc.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government requests that the new government clearly state their position towards Japan and towards the E.A.T.S.P. and request that Korea remain in the alliance since it is a key ally in the alliance and a nation Japan wishes to remain on good terms with due to its geographic position.
 * Korean Diplomacy: Korea confirms that Korea will stay in the E.A.T.S.P.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the fifth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square). The HTMS คอนปาคุ (Khxnpākhu) finishes construction and is put into use. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * Turkey: With Greece defeated, and Persia coming under the complete grasp of Turkey every day, the Turkish military invades Bulgaria to reclaim the lost lands outside of Istanbul. A force of 85,000 men assault the Bulgarian nation from the south to reclaim their lands and return them to Turkey. Elsewhere, the Turks attack Isfahan with their eyes set on pushing through to Shiraz to the south. Upon hearing of Syria's independence, a force of 175,000 men is sent to invade and annex the nation, and bring them under the "protection" of the Turkish nation. In the Black Sea, the Turks detonate their first atomic bomb, and with the testing complete, the government authorises the creation of additional warheads to build up their nuclear arsenal. The first set of bombs is expected to be delivered by 1957. With this arsenal, Turkey hopes to become a regional, if not world power in the distant future. Celebrations take place throughout Turkey when news of the warhead's detonation make it back to the mainland. Protests in the capital also begin when opposers to nuclear armament hear of the bomb, and march to the capital to demand that the nation remain a nuclear-free state. They remain outnumbered by supporters for the bomb.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Diet requests that Turkey cease all its expansionist efforts as they are only to take land and not promote any ideals or unity amongst the people, should Turkey continue to expand into the Middle East Japan will cut off all diplomatic relations with state.
 * Turkish Response: Did not your own nation invade China and kill millions? Take your two-faced hide out of our nation. Hoşçakalın. (Translated as "Goodbye").
 * Japanese Diplomacy: While the Empire fought with China it was a conflict that was inevitable in the long run and by far one of the nation's most important moments but don't forget that the war with China escalated due to complications and it was impossible to cease the warfare without massive sacrifice on all sides. Also, stability is slowly returning to the Chinese regions thanks to greater cooperation between East Asians, the greater goal of the Japanese and its allies. What is Turkey trying to achieve by its constant warfare, the return to the glorious days of Turkey? Turkey is once again requested to cease its constant expansion and look towards diplomacy instead of war as its solution.
 * Turkish Response: Japan invaded China even after warnings from all nations including the League of Nations, to not invade China. You had the power to stop your attacks without any loss of life, but continued your invasion. And the stability means nothing if justice is not given to the families your nation's armed forces slaughtered. War is the only option to regain our lost lands and fix a great wrong. We shall have no dealings with hypocrites.
 * Actually in this game Japan received no warnings from any nation and read my previous turns. Several trials have been carried out to deal with war criminals - both Chinese and Japanese.
 * Ah, okay.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: With the Turkish refusing to listen to reason cuts off all ties with Turkey and begins supplying firearms and tanks to Persia. The supplying is protected by the Imperial navy.
 * Turkish Response: You cannot enter the Persian Gulf without passing the Turkish naval blockade force. Your ships will be fired upon if they attempt to force themselves into the gulf.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Should even a single Japanese life or even a bit of Japanese equipment be harmed there will be severe consequences. Plus, you can't block the entire Persian coastline especially should the Japanese Imperial navy get involved.
 * Turkish Response: The Turkish navy will be waiting for you.
 * Japan: The Diet publicly denounces the continued incursion into Persia and offers complete diplomatic support to the Persian monarchy along with military aid should it prove necessary. The Military operations in former China are nearly completed and The forces in China are slowly replaced by local troops raised from loyalists to the Japanese backed regimes. 2,000,000 troops are left in the Chinese states while the rest are decommissioned or put into the reserve or active forces back in Japan. The increase in dependence on mutual relations between Japan and its puppet states to bring about greater friendliness and trust along with bringing about the best possible economic results possible to benefit all partners in the trades. Indonesia and Manchuria remain the most loyal of all the Japanese backed states and they are also the ones which hold the largest economic value to the Japanese economy, along with having the most trustworthy troops. Japan signs a free commerce and migration act with Manchuria and Indonesia to allow the movement of workers and entrepreneurs into each others nations, a similar offer is made to Siam with plans to do the same with Indochina. The first Japanese hydrogen bomb will be tested in the Pacific at the end of the year. The new tank design proves quite effective and mass production will begin soon enough it has a much higher mobility rate while being well built and sturdy but slightly lighter in armor then American or Russian tanks but they are considered perfect for the landscapes of the mountainous north or tropical south of East Asia. A new APC is designed. The chopper prototype is giving several modifications to improve efficiency in transport and support to the army and marines which is the planned usage of the chopper. The first prototype jet fighter is made and testing will begin soon enough. More rights are giving to the minorities in Japan and to women. Education and health care are still the priority of the Liberal Coalition in power in the Diet but the possibility of expanding social benefits to gain the support of the socialist and worker movements is taking into consideration, much to the disgust of extreme conservatives and ultra-nationalists who have been marginalized socially for over 20 years most choose to leave Japan for other parts of the world as a self imposed exile but others plan to retake power and take advantage of the current level of Japan. The Computer proves a great asset to the military bureaucracy due to its capacity to process information and store much needed data. The radar is put forward for improvements. Emperor Hirohito begins his tour around the world by visiting Emperor Puyi in Manchuria and the New government in Korea, followed with visiting the King of Siam next and the President of Indonesia after, then the Emperor will head towards the Western nations to meet with the various world leaders of the post-World War Era. The navy continues to face reforms and reconstruction to make it grander and more efficient then before, at the moment Subs, destroyers are receiving greater attention but the aircraft carriers and the naval land air bases are still the priority of the navy and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future with the air superiority being the focus of the imperial armed forces. At the moment Japan is considered to maintain the second greatest navy in the world behind the Americans since the British and French navies suffered greatly from the Second World War and also have suffered neglect since its completion, but Japan hopes to overtake the Americans as the greatest navy by the end of the 1950's. The Space program continues with the satellite construction and the ambitious program to send a man into space by 1960 at the latest. The construction of the first Japanese nuclear reactor continues in Tokyo.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri agrees to the offer.


 * Argentina: The Chilean separatists continue to be hunted and put in concentration camps. The communists continue to be arrested en masse. The new Chilean territory continues to be modernised and industrialised as the government hopes that the Chileans will see the light. The fourth carrier is completed and the helicopter development continues. Already, new uses are discovered - like for medical use of the people lost in the mountains. The jet engine remaining lack continues to be fixed. The number of cars grow by 25% percent and after that several good roads are built.
 * The United States continues the space program. Meanwhile, plans begin to test something like the OTL Tsar bomba. Meanwhile the US denounces the Turkish invasion of Persia. Some arms and money are sent to Persia.
 * UK: British government sends 600,000 troops to shield the Persians. We ask the UN for help.

1954.5

 * Korea: The new Korean government continues to consolidate their power. The interior continues to be improved, although it is not a democracy. The military continues to be built up, and parades are held throughout the nation. The aircraft carrier continues to be created. The first Korean aircraft carrier is also stationed outside of Korean waters- it is placed in international waters under Japan.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the fifth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square) and it will be released next year. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * The United States finds that the assassin of President Henry A. Wallace was paid for and trained by the East German government. The US asks the Soviets to do something. Meanwhile the US creates the Global Organization for Capitalism, O, and Liberal Democracy (pronounced GO-COLD), consisting of it, Cuba, Mexico, West Germany and any democratic nation abroad. Invited are: Britain, France, Italy, Persia, Siam, Korea, and anyone outside the Warsaw Pact. America asks Japan to reorganize the rest of China into some sort of nationalist union.
 * Jap D: The Diet unfortunately refuses to do any such thing with China. The Dragon of the East must never be revived to secure order and stability in the east. (No way would any nation try to unify China after breaking down due to its sheer size and potential. Divided, the Chinese states can remain strong but never pose a threat to the Japanese order in the east) Japan requests that the E.A.T.S.P become an observer part of the GOCD
 * Accepted and accepted.
 * Argentina: Continues to crack down on the separatists and many bases are destroyed with the combat helicopter. The situation in the Chilean autonomous province slowly gets quiet as many citizens there began to see the benefit. After that the small villages receive water and the farmers receive modern equipment. The city also saw an expensive modernisation project and unemployment went down. A modernisation program of the military force began to stay equal with most of the world. A medical breakthrough occurred when a way to fight tropical disease is made. Many techniques to fight the mosquitoes began to be applied throughout the nation.
 * Japan: Emperor Hirohito visits Puyi in Manchuria and the talks between both monarchs are extensive - mainly about non-essential things - but a few important topics are brought up for the future. Hirohito leaves on a good note heading to Seoul - now reaching it by September of the same year to talk to the regime. The Diet passes the workers rights bill granting better work conditions and a minimum wage to all of the working class. The industrial block continues to dominate the Japanese economy with its puppet states. Its allies (Siam mainly) and Central America becom the major places for receiving Japanese products. A free trade agreement is requested with the USA. Mitshubishi begins creating new car designs to replace the older ones. The Imperial navy is dispatched to intimidate Turkey into withdrawing from Persia completely and firearms along with food are sent to Persia to aid it. A new submachine gun is made and testing begins. The Hakata Chopper becomes the first Japanese military helicopter and its usage is mainly transport, but plans to replace it as soon as possible begin. The first Hydrogen bomb is tested and it is again widely publicized. The construction of the power plant begins. The space program continues in good course. The Zero 22 is made as a replacement for the old fighter. It is the first Japanese jet fighter. Funds into an anti-biowarfare program start up but this, unlike unit 731, is meant only for defensive purposes and is highly controlled by the government but it does use the data collected from the previous bio-warfare units. A popular tournament begins to appear in the Japanese underground having to do with martial arts death matches. The industrialization of the E.A.T.S.P. is started up again. The remodeling of the army and navy continues.
 * UK: Troops begin thier first attack on Turkish forces and the navy is put where the Japanese fleet is. We also launch Operation Desert Storm to push the Turks out of Persia and we secretly send MI6 agents to inspire the Greeks to rise up against their Turkish oppressers and we create an alliance called NATO. We invite the US, Italy, France (RNG for France) and Spain.
 * No. You cannot create a NATO, no Alliance. You are not a leader. You are a destroyed, war torn nation. You are a puppet of America. You are in the 
 * India: Steps into world affairs. The army is given special attention and it asks its fellow nations from the E.A.T.S.P. to help it industrialize and build armed forces. Meanwhile, the five year plan begins with many dams across the country beginning construction. Along with this, fertiliser is given to over 40% of farmers to increase yield and make enough food for the country. The country cuts off all relations with Pakistan due to Kashmir and militarises on its border with the country. 10% conscription is ordered as guns manufacture puts up hugely and tank designs are asked for from the Japanese. India is unsure about the Turkish invasion and hopes that the situation resolves itself. India also wants to begin research into its own jet fighter but requires help.
 * Japanese D: The Japanese government agrees to send blueprints as well as sell the Arisawa 50 rifle to India. It also requests permission to use Indian soil to send supplies and troops to help the Persians defend their soil.
 * Indian Diplomacy: India thanks Japan, and will only allow Japanese troops if they do not invade from India and only use the country as a stepping stone into Persia.
 * Québec: There is much happiness in the province at a 54%/46% ballot in favour of independence from Canada. Friendly relations are offered to the UK, Canada, Newfoundland-Labrador, France and the USA. Some new shoe factories are opened in Montréal.
 * Turkey: The Turks continue their drive into Persia and Syria, and fight their way deeper into Bulgaria, determined to punish the nation for their invasion of Turkey a decade and a half ago. The Turks continue development of their nuclear arsenal, with the development of an automatic assault rifle called the OT-1 Meç. It is slated to become the standard issue weapon of the army forces by 1958. Additionally, the Turkish naval force sent to circumnavigate the globe returns to the city of Istanbul, signalling Turkey's development of a blue-water navy.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, seeing foreign intervention in Persia as a sign of Imperialism from both the West (Britain) and the East (Japan), leads Premier Leon Trotsky to deploy the Red Army along the border with Japan and the E.A.S.T.P. and the Western Nations (West Germany, Romania, Finland). The first Soviet helicopter is created and flies very well. The Soviet Air Force orders thousands of this aircraft. The Soviet Air Force develops the MiG-01, while construction of a strategic air bomber capable of reaching Tokyo and Los Angeles begins. The T-56 is designed and the Soviet Army puts hundreds of these tanks on order. Despite tensions in the world, trade between nations continues, while all oil supplies drilled in the oil rich regions are traded between all nations, including non-Warsaw Pact members or supporters or allies of the US or Japan. Premier Trotsky asks to meet with the leaders of the three major powers to discuss nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as well as human rights issues.
 * Jap D: The Japanese agree to the meeting. In response to the Soviet mobilization Japan orders all troops available to be on full alert along the Manchu-Soviet border and the navy to begin protecting Japanese national waters in the north. However, Japan requests that the Soviets remove troops from their common borders. In exchange, Japan will as well. It also offers a compromise on the Persia issue: Turkey withdraws from Persia and Japan will as well. In exchange, the Turks will face no opposition to their expansion into the Middle East. This way, a buffer between the E.A.T.S.P. and Soviet Central Asia can be established.

1955

 * Korea: Secret high flying surveillance aircraft begin research. However, it is still a long way off.
 * Japan D:Japanese blueprints on recent technological breakthroughs except the computer and the space program are given to Korea. Hirohito is in Seoul at the moment to give a public apology to the people of Korea.
 * Japan: Immediate mobilization begins as the troops in the reserves are built up and put on high alert in case the Soviets decide to cross into Manchuria. The Arisawa 55 is developed as a modified version of the Arisawa 50 to improve the rate of fire and reliability in all environments. Deployment of the new version is isolated to the I.S.R.F., the Imperial marines and commando units. The STG 55 is also released after testing as the new submachine gun and it is widely distributed along with the Tatsu machine gun. The new chopper is produced in larger quantities to help back up the troops. More and more of the Zero 22's are made and development of new bombers begins. The space program begins with the construction of the nation's first continental rocket in hope of having a weapon capable of reaching major centres in Central Asia if necessary. The satellite continues being constructed. The nuclear powerplant continues being constructed and reaches the halfway point of construction. India is sent technicians and industrial engineers to help it industrialize. Emperor Hirohito begins talks with the Korean regime to give a formal apology to the Korean people for the colonization of the nation over two decades ago. Japanese forces active in South East Asia are mainly redirected to the north, and Manchuria begins mobilization along with the North Chinese Republic under Japanese orders. Elections are to be held in a year's time with the Liberal Coalition participating against the Conservative party and the newly founded workers party and the resurgent ultra-nationalist (who hold a very small minority amongst the elite of Japan); the communists are still blocked from participating in elections. Japan proposes that Indonesia and Indochina be granted full membership in the E.A.T.S.P. The expansion of the Imperial Airlines to include flights to the rest of the E.A.T.S.P. and to Hawaii begin. Production of hydrogen bombs begin to deter any other world power from war with Japan, a policy of usage of nuclear weapons only after being hit is put into place. Support for the Persians continues though it remains still only as aid and with the Japanese navy remaining on guard in the Indian Ocean. Construction of a new aircraft carrier begins. It is planned to be the largest in naval history, and blueprints for the construction of an island fortress are made but shelved due to other areas being prioritized by the high command. More newer submarines are put forward for construction using the improved Sonar and torpedos. Tonkin is placed forward to become a prefecture of the Empire like Taihoku. A request to the U.S.A. is made to increase cooperation across the Pacific and put aside the current rivalry for now. New gas masks are made to replace WW-II versions. The bio-warfare program continues in complete transparency and it is proved to be purely for defensive purposes without any intentions of making bio weapons. U.N. inspectors are invited to observe the program as well.
 * Indian Diplomacy: India would like some backing up by Japanese and other E.A.T.S.P. troops once it invades Pakistan.
 * Argentina: The last known rebel base is destroyed and many hundred are arrested for treason. From there, the resistance slowly died as the Chilean society began to see the impact on their lives. However, the guerrilla movement continues despite the government's best efforts. The loyal Chileans are allowed to join the military. The industry of Argentina also began to grow as the Chilean industry is fully operational and greatly improved. Paraguay is also aimed for invasion to protect them from the communists. Brazil is asking for a joint invasion as the invasion could be made in no time. The fourth carrier is over.
 * Turkey: In response to the Japanese military buildup, the Turkish military begins a massive arms buildup of its own, using the resources of the conquered Greek, Bulgarian and Persian lands to fuel the industrial complexes needed for such an effort. The 2nd and 3rd Fleets are sent to the Indian Ocean to bolster the Turkish forces there and the Turks continue their drive to conquer Persia. The invasion of Bulgaria continues as the Bulgarian forces are pushed aside. In Syria, the Turks march across the country to bring the nation under the guidance of the Turkish nation. A SECRET message is sent to Japan detailing a list of requests Turkey is prepared to accept to avoid a war. The Turks will not march into India, and will limit their sphere of influence to the Greater Middle East. The rest of Asia is up for grabs for Japan and the Soviet Union as the Turks have no aspirations in that region. The Turks shall end all hostilities toward Japan, and promise never to use nuclear weapons on them at any time unless the need to do so is linked directly to the survival of the Turkish nation. And finally, a fifth of all oil supplies gathered by Turkey shall be exported to the Japanese nation for 25 years (1955-1980) at half price.
 * Jap D: Only the complete withdrawal from Persia will make the Japanese withdraw from the region. In exchange, we will not get involved in the rest of Central Asia as it would prove unpopular anyway with the Japanese populace and it is warned that Turkey can't directly threaten Japan while Japan can cause severe trouble to Turkey. As long as a free Persia exists we will not intervene farther beyond India.
 * Turkish R: We do have nuclear weapons, and we will use them if any Japanese force enters Persia, the gulf or the Middle East. It's still the 1950s, you don't have any long-range delivery systems to threaten a nation thousands of miles away from you yet. Any planes you send can and will be shot down if caught. ICBMs only come out in the early to mid-1960s.
 * I was refering to naval blockades, embargos, covert operations, not nuclear war, just withdraw from Persia. You already have three world powers breathing down your back. You have a lot of land to play with. Also there is no way a Sunni nation can maintain control of Persia for too long.
 * Turkey had a larger population, industry and economy that Persia. And the UK isn't a world power as the algorithms and recent war have shown. Additionally, I have the Soviet Union on my side and Turkey is a major power in its own right. Plus, I have the religious support of the Sunni populations of the Middle East, who have traditionally despised and outnumbered the Shia Persians in the past and today (ever wonder why Saudi Arabia is opposed to a powerful Iran?) Plus, given that Pakistan and Afghanistan are Sunni states, why would they waste their money supporting a Shia nation?
 * In the US, President Stevenson agrees to meet with Trotsky and the Japanese. OTL Tsar bomb work continues.  ALL FREE DEMOCRATIC NATIONS ARE INVITED TO JOIN THE GO-COLD, THE ATL NATO. . Meanwhile, the United States encourages Turkey to drop their war against Persia and the Balkans.
 * Brazil: We agree in a possible invasion later but currently our concern is the exchange of the gained lands from Peru to gain a coastline to the Pacific owned by Brazil from Peru. Until then, we will not join more conflicts. The buildup of the military continues while the fleet is continuously revamped. The Greek invasion and Persian invasions are condemned. Our support is shown to Bulgaria, our old ally. We will enter in their war against Turkey.
 * Québec- Now narrowly independent after the earlier public poll, founds a military of 8,000 people (mostly a navy) and joins the USA’s ‘GO-COLD’ pact. Hydroelectricity is slightly enhanced with Canadian help. A free trade deal is offered to the UK, France, USA, Canada and Greenland.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the fifth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน (Mystic Square); Koishi, Kogasa and Miko leave Hanzhong Airport and begin looking around the city for more clues, though there don't seem to be many. Later, Koishi manages to find the last clue which leads to the hideout where Aya is hiding, which isn't far from the city. Soon Koishi, Kogasa and Miko finally capture Aya Shameimaru after a long battle and manage to turn Aya in to the police. In the end, Koishi, Kogasa and Miko does some sightseeing and such before finally flying back to Thailand. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * UK: We begin to push the Turks out of Persia and we begin Operation Desert Storm and it begins air raid and airborne drops on Turkey and our nuclear project is completed and test our first bomb. Does anyone want to join this map game Entente vs. Triple Alliance (Map Game)?
 * I think you should focus on rebuilding your nation before you decide to go to war with another nation. You were nuked a number of times, and you never rebuilt. You're Europe's equivalent of Somalia right now.
 * Québec D- Québec's forestry is enhanced and the wood is used in the new Quebec City paper mill. Large, but quantified amounts of wood, wood pulp and paper are offered free to the UK as humanitarian aid and as a reduced price gift to the USA in exchange for an alliance. Quebec likes life with both.

1955.5

 * Québec- The Québécois nation still shares the Cn$ within Canada - a united currency. Hydro-Québec plans the Manic-5 Daniel-Johnson Dam, which is slated for building between 1959 and 1969. The Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park along the Malbaie River, is created. The slowly growing mining town of Fermont, Côte-Nord is a centre for iron production. Smaller amounts of gold, iron, copper and zinc are produced in other places nearby. Nickel is found in the Otish Mountains, but not exploited yet. Canadien Malartic and Malartic Goldfields open a moderate gold mine near the Malartic town in southwestern Quebec. Québec’s forestry is slightly enhanced and the extra wood is used in the other new Quebec City paper mill. The government of Québec offers some food and material aid to the UK (wood, wood pulp, paper, moose steaks and reindeer steaks are on offer).


 * The Corvette ‘Quebec City’ is layed down and is a upgrade of the OTL American [Bathurst class corvette] and will be made in six months time, but 11 others are in the planning and will be made by 1965.


 * 1) Landing craft- Château Frontenac, [USS Marion County (LST-975)] (layed down and set to sail in 1956.0)
 * 2) The Coastal minesweeper- Hyper-style [Kust mijnenveger M-856 Beemsterklasse] (layed down and set to sail in 1956.5)
 * 3) Patrol vessel- Francophone [HMCS Cougar (Z15) beam] (to be layed down in 1956.5 and set to sail in 1957.0)
 * 4) Corvette- Malbaie River- [BRP Quezon (PS-70)] (to be layed down in 1957.5 and set to sail in 1958.5)
 * 5) Corvette- Malartic [BRP Rizal (PS-74)] (to be layed down in 1958.0 and set to sail in 1959.0)
 * 6) Corvette- Le Québécois [BRP Rajah Humabon (PF-11)] (to be layed down in 1958.5 and set to sail in 1959.5)
 * 7) Landing craft- Château Frontenac [USS Marion County (LST-975)] (to be layed down in 1959.5 and set to sail in 1960.0)
 * 8) Amphibious force command ship- Cabine téléphonique Canadien longue portée [USS Mount McKinley (AGC-7)] (to be layed down in 1959.5 and set to sail in 1961.5)
 * 9) Corvette- Offensive côtières du Québec [HMCS Renard (S13)] (to be layed down in 1961.0 and set to sail in 1962.0)
 * 10) The fleet food supply ship- Navire de ravitaillement alimentaire marine [Japanese food supply ship Nosaki] (to be layed down in 1962.0 and set to sail in 1963.0)
 * 11) The frigate- Steak knife, which is an upgrade on OTL S. Africa's [HMSAS Natal IWM FL 16706] (to be layed down in 1963.5 and set to sail in 1964.5)
 * A few Martin B-57 Canberra bombers, H-19 Royal Canadian Navy type transport helicopters, Republic RC-3 Seabee patrol craft and Grumman F8F Bearcat fighters are made. 20 Sherman tank copies are also made.


 * Korea: Korea continues the development of a high altitude surveillance plane. The military stops their expansion, as they have reached a comfortable amount of strength. New technologies also continue to be developed. The Mirae Corporation’s new branch which specializes in cars is a huge success, with their stocks increasing almost 500% in three months. Mirae cars sell as fast as they are built - and they are very cheap. The economy improves dramatically with the advent of Mirae, and exports also pick up. They ask for trade deals with the United States and the Soviet Union, which they hope can be two of their biggest importers. Nuclear energy also begins development, as a way of harnessing the incredible energy of nuclear weapons for energy purposes. The current nuclear stockpile reaches 30 weapons, with ten being low-yield and ten being 1 MT. The rest are in the middle. The third aircraft carrier finishes construction as well, and is named the ROKS Silla. Research also commences on advanced multiple stage delivery systems for the nuclear weapons, as well as submarines which can carry nukes. Work also commences on a nuclear powered submarine.
 * Argentina: The interior continues to be improved and the military grow with many fascist supporter in the Chilean zone. The Chilean resistence go farther down and many in the countryside and the city continue to see the good side of the annexation. The government declares the fleet is the biggest in the southern hemisphere. The jet engine is almost ready to be produced in series.
 * The United States continues to build up the military and such. Quebec is given the offer to become a US state, protectorate, commonwealth or to use the US dollar ($) as its currency. All democratic nations are invited to the GO-COLD, especially India and Pakistan.
 * Global Events: The Bengal area of Western India, largely populated with Muslims, begins to rebel against the Hindu-majority-based government. They want their independence with NO bloodshed at all, or as AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. A revolution takes place in Persia and a new Sunni faction (secretely funded and supported by Pakistan and Afghanistan) takes power and begins to crack down on Shias and rebels. They also begin a big fight back against the Turks, and they are extremely strong. Meanwhile, the conquered Balkan states each declare independence one by one, but Greece enters a bloody west-east civil war. The east seeks aid from the US and the democratic capitalist nations, but the west wants aid from .... the JAPS! Why? Because, the Japs are believed to be more technologically advanced than the Russians. Meanwhile, civil war opens in Spain as Republicans and Royalists attempt to depose Franco from power. Looks like victory is going to the Spanish Republic - based out of Barcelona.
 * Afghanistan was dirt poor, and Pakistan also had no money (most of it was going toward their wars with India). So having those two support "extremely powerful" rebels in Persia is near to impossible. ~Viva


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai begins writing โทโฮไคคิดัน 2, which is a sequel to โทโฮไคคิดัน. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government orders the suppression of the Persian rebels in the conquered territories, and secretly permits the usage of nuclear weapons if the rebels are not suppressed within the alloted time period. The government shifts a force of 230,000 troops into Persia, with additional recruits making their way into the nation both to continue moving the Turkish border westward. The Turks in Bulgaria continue their invasion with renewed vigor, and in Syria, the Turks make their way farther south. The nuclear arsenal is expanded and plans to develop a jet fighter for the air force is underway.
 * Japan:  The Japanese government hopes to solve the situation in India and Persia seeing as Japan's greatest threat lies in the north. The Japanese forces remain on high alert ready to act the moment they are ordered. The navy is fully ready to begin counter-offensives in case a war does break out with several Zero 22's already in service and more on the way. The construction of the continental rocket continues but won't be ready for several years. Two aircraft strips are made in Manchuria, along with three military bases to house the troops stationed there. A uniform based along modern lines is made which includes a gas mask, and a new vest which is made of fibre-reinforced plastic and nylon and contains pieces of metal in it. This sparks the interest of military researchers who think that a more efficient material can be used and their funding is granted by the high command. The new bomber designs are still underway. The new uniform is black, green or white depending where the troops are stationed and includes the National flag on the right shoulder and a helmet. Looking to bring all of East Asia into the E.A.T.S.P., Japan begins supplying arms to a group of nationalists in Burma who are planning a coup to bring the nation into a new era. Japan hopes to use this group to make Burma into a new member of the Asian alliance. The ultra-nationalists, hoping to retake power, launch a coup against the Diet. Unlike the one that removed the Ultras from power 20 years before this one is a spectacular failure and the group is forced into exile to the United States or to the Rump Chinese Republic. The space program continues with the satellite nearly completed and ready for launch by 1957 ahead of schedule. The power plant in Tokyo is nearly completed and it will begin operating in late 1956. Japan supports the Indian government should Bengal attempt to gain independence. Japan is willing to dispatch troops if necesary, since Japan has one of the most efficient armies when it comes to Jungle warfare thanks to its experience in South East Asia and Southern China. TVs start becoming more popular as they are made cheaper now and with more to see but still remain something for the upper or middle upper class. The fight clubs in the underground continue to grow and many fighters from around East Asia are attracted to the matches. The new Aircraft carrier will be ready by late 1956 and it is considered far more efficient the previous designs. Thoughts about a nuclear holding sub are made but put on hold for now until the new rockets - now called missiles not to get mixed with the space rocket program - are completed and perfected. The bio warfare program continues and it is expanded to the rest of the E.A.T.S.P. to help better protect the troops and people of East Asia from Biological threats. The program is put under direct Government control and its headquaters are split between Hokkaido and Tonkin representing the two harshest environments in Japan. Usage of computers for military usage continues and three more are made for the army to store and distribute data. A low salary soldier who works in the facility that makes the Computers discloses the creation of such a device to an American journalist who publishes the story at once, but no details were given since the trooper had no knowledge of how to use the machine. The production of nuclear weapons continues with a stockpile of some 100 or so weapons in existence at this point. Weapons and funds are continuously sent to Persian soldiers and rebels using India as the point to send them. Hirohito moves on to visit Siam and talk with Japan's oldest ally in the region.


 * Québec D: The Québécois nation chooses to use the US dollar ($) as its currency and joins up to the USA's GO-COLD group.
