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.

Changes, Issues and Complaints
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, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Dublin, (Belfast?) and basically the entire UK blown up or getting yourself banned, I suggest you turn around.
 * Dublin is in an independent and grey Ireland. It is not British any more (for about 30 years) and thus should not be hit by someone who wants to attack the UK. Do you mean Belfast in Northern Ireland instead?The River Nile-2 (talk) 14:58, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * 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 downscale 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. (See the talk page.) Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina emerge victorious in South America. However, a large scale communist rebellion opens in Brazil, based out of Sao Paulo. Meanwhile the Chileans rebel against the Argentinian conquerors. Colombia and Ecuador declare independence from Venezuela. In Italy, a resistance that supports the old monarchy opens in Naples. 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-1, 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.
 * India: Money is poured into infrastructure projects all over the country. Many dams across the country continue construction. More are ordered to be constructed. The guns and their blueprints given by the Japanese are put to good use. Huge factories built begin to produce the guns from the blueprints and many thousands are produced and supplied to the army. More fertilizer is given to farmers, and when their crops are harvested they fetch a high price on the international market. Spices production is given a lot of importance and is still sold in thw world with huge profits. The country, sensing the situation in Bengal deteriorating, sends troops into the area. Tanks also begin to be manufactured after blueprints were given by the Japanese. Soon, Indian armies will be able to become world class. India starts up its own jet fighter, receiving no help from the outside world.

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. Canadian 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 dozen 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. The Québécois nation chooses to use the US dollar ($) as its currency and wants to join up to the USA's GO-COLD group.


 * 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 one 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.


 * 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 necessary, 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 headquarters 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 hundred 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.
 * Is this global event and the 1950 nuclear war on the UK cannon?90.244.91.81 16:34, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't think they are. At least the nuking isn't.
 * The global events are.
 * 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.
 * This is canon, as I, Scraw, am a mod. Paks are not warring with India, so they have money. Afghanistan did not go through several recurring periods of turmoil, so they have money too.
 * UK: The army links up with Persian rebels and we begin the final push to drive Turkey out of Persia and we join the GO-COLD group.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, seeing war with Japan both costly and not popular, decides to withdraw soldiers from the border, and asks Japan if the two great nations want to form a large-scale demilitarized zone between Japan and the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, research continues on all "modern" technology, particularly in both social and military life. With the reforms passed by Trotsky, the economy continues to do well. The Soviet Union begins to prepare to test a nuclear weapon of 50 MT (Tsar Bomba) in the Siberian Tundra. Mass production of helicopters and jet fighters beign, after the first two prototypes of the two new technologies are a success. Meanwhile, the people of Mongolia, Latvia, The Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbajian, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Belarus, and Estonia are given autonomous territory, to help stop any separatist groups from forming. In Poland and East Germany, the nations hold a referendum whether to join the Soviet Union directly, remain independent, or become an autonomous territory. The two nations vote to remain independent. Premier Leon Trotsky asks the President of the United States if the US is interested in uniting Germany as a single, neutral, nation.
 * Jap D: The government, seeing the Soviets back down, begins to slowly relax the mobilization to a halt and troops are withdrawn from battle positions. Japan will lower the number of Japanese troops along the E.A.T.S.P. border with the Soviets but refuses to establish a demilitarization zone for reasons of national security.

1956

 * Korea: Korea continues to research the high altitude surveillance aircraft. Nuclear research also continues, as does submarine research. Rocket research continues as well. Hopes are made for a rocket in space by 1965 although that remains very optimistic. Meanwhile, mining continues in the northern sections of the country, and exports continue as well. A secret biological weapons research facility is also opened.
 * Japan:The military begins withdrawing from the common border with the Soviets and the navy returns to its passive position. Japanese citizens breath a sigh of relief having averted war and the government gains a boost of popularity for their handling of the crisis bring Yamamato and the liberals into their second term in the Diet after the elections. The Construction of the power plant continues and it nears completion. The construction of the nation's first continental missile continues. The distribution of the new uniform continues with many orders coming in. The site of the Japanese troops in their new war uniforms is a sight to be hold as they do a military parade through the streets of Tokyo. The naval units in the Indian Ocean are ordered to begin blockading Turkish ships that enter the Indian Ocean but not to fire on them. This is a way to pressure the Turks into backing down now that the U.S.S.R. has agreed to avoid conflict with Japan. The biological warfare prevention continues and all research it devolved to the public health system to help them prevent outbreaks of bio-contaminents be they man-made or natural. Improvement of the computers begin. An APC design is made and it begins to be tested. The Zero 22 is mass produced now along with the choppers and the creation of new long reach bombers continues. The military continues to fund the nationalists in Burma to bring the nation into the Japanese sphere. The construction of the satellite continues along with the building of the rocket that will be launched next year taking a dog into space. The violent underground fights continue to grow and the police start taking notice of the growing practise along with other bad habits that are creeping into the Japanese underground including illegal brothels, growing casinos, and human traficking the problem of the underground is brought up in the Diet and plans are started to take care of the matter. Emperor Hirohito reaches Tonkin where he will rest for a few weeks before entering Siam. A group is detected within the fringes of E.A.T.S.P. China of a series of local warlords, and para-military groups that are gaining influence, plans to mobilize the troops in China again are made should the local Chinese loyalists prove incapable of handling things. Meanwhile, new laws are passed to ease the worker's life and provide much needed regulations and benefits. The economy is still dominated by the Zaibatsu, but newer corporations begin apearing that challenge their dominance in East Asia, most of which are mixed companies under both Japanese and local funding including the new Jakarta oil in Indonesia which has 40% local funding and 43% Japanese and 17% western investment. This company is looking to exploit the large oil reserves in Borneo to compete with the massive earning of the Sumatra based companies, and plans to invest in the Middle East are also made - mainly Persia once it is liberated - and possibly Africa in the unforeseen future. A modernization of the rail lines begins to make electricity to cut back to improve performance and cut back costs.
 * How can Japan have ships in the Persian Gulf if Turkish ships were already there to begin with? My ships had to cross the Suez Canal, while yours had to travel all the way from the Yellow Sea.
 * I have at least a third of the navy active throughout Southeast Asia and near India. From there it's not hard to reach Persia and the Indian Ocean. Either way, I've changed it to the Indian Ocean, OK? but remember the Japanese are active throughout the Pacific and South Asia so it's not hard to reach Persia.
 * Cuba: A revolt in Cuba occurs due to the large amount of Communists. On March 12th, El Capitolio in Havana is heavily damaged with bombs. While the initial blast did not do much damage, the fire gutted the building and caused the collapse of part of the dome and west wing of the building. Riots break out before long, protesting the ineffective government.
 * Soviet D: We accept.
 * Turkey: The Turks continue their invasion of Persia (since the rebel event was not permitted by a mod), and push onwards to Pakistan. The Turkish military research of jet engine technology is nearly completed, and a breakthrough is expected near the end of the year. Development of rocket technology begins to keep the nation ahead of its rivals and prevent itself from being outgunned. The invasion of Bulgaria is ended with the defeat and occupation of that nation by Turkish forces. The Syrian war also draws to an end as the Turks cease their military operations there. The navy develops its fifth aircraft carrier and positions it in Latakia at the head of the 6th Turkish Fleet. The 2nd and 3rd fleets are positioned in the Persian Gulf to prevent piracy and any foreign attempts to interfere in the region. The military secretly builds a second invasion force in Istfahan for another planned invasion that has yet to be decided by the government. Construction on a nuclear power plant in Ankara is underway with planned completion for 1959.
 * Independent of the event, you still lost the algorithm. You're getting beaten back, Turkey, and you're now fighting international forces that were sent by the U.N. in accordance with the resolution. In other words, if you continue you will be at war with the world.
 * Technically no, since Québec and posibly Cuba, Argentina and Brazil are still non-combatants as far as I can tell.90.244.91.81 16:48, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed. And take a look at the algorithim. Turkey and the Soviet Union won. We didn't lose. ~Viva
 * France: Accepts all offers from Quebec and is happy to be reunited (diplomatically) with a former French colony. Accepts the invitation from the US. Decolonization begins to take hold in the country and all colonies are promised independence in the near future. Meanwhile, France condemns the actions of Turkey and joins the United Kingdom in any operation they conduct. Nuclear tests in the Sahara continue.
 * Turkish D: The Turkish government demands that France remove their forces from Persia and cease their nuclear tests, or Turkey shall bomb their troops and possessions in the region.
 * French D: (As AP-- First of all, no one knows about the tests). The Turks are in no place to make such demands. Conventional missiles pale in comparison to France's nuclear missile arsenal. Moreover, we have no troops or possessions close enough for you to target with conventional missiles. The age of Imperialism is over, your thinly-veiled plan of recreating the Ottoman Empire will fail miserably.
 * Uh, to be honest, you really should have been here for the whole game. Viva has improved and is being plausible for once.
 * Québec: The Québécois nation chooses to use the US dollar ($) as its currency and accepts the USA's invite to join the GO-COLD group. Radio Television Quebec/Radio Télévision Québec is founded. Black and white TVs start becoming more popular as they are made cheaper now and with more to see on the TV channels too, but sets still remain something for the upper or middle upper class but radios are common in upper and middle class homes. Iron hydroxide pollution is a small problem by many iron mines in Fermont on the Côte-Nord. Some small shale gas and shale oil reservoirs are found on the border of New Brunswick. Hydro-Québec confirms its plans out the Manic-5 Daniel-Johnson Dam, which is slated for building between 1958 and 1969. Québec agrees to have the American Dollar ($) as its national currency. Québec's offers of a trade deal and alliance with France and the USA are taken up.
 * The Diesel-electric attack submarine Renard [USS Wahoo SS-238] is to be layed down in 1960.0 and set to sail in 1961.0.
 * Seven ferries, three oil tankers and six bulk cargo ships are laid down and will be completed by 1960.0. A few more Martin B-57 Canberra bombers (eight), H-19 Royal Canadian Navy type transport helicopters (20), Republic RC-3 Seabee patrol craft (ten), Grumman F8F Bearcat fighters (ten) and US F-86 Sabre fighters (19) are made. 20 copies of the OTL American M-26 tank and ten Sherman tank copies are also made. 1,000 more personnel are recruited and trained up for military service. President Henri Claude Lapize admits to having mild [oral Gingivitis]. He also wonders if the provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, and Zanjan could form an Azeri neutral free state in northern Persia and possibly Kordestan province do likewise for the Persian Kurds to its southwest. Grains, fruits, cotton, rice, nuts, and tobacco are the staple crops of the region. Turkey is right about Shia/Sunni location thing[], but we would like to be neutral on the issue, but still push for an Azeri free state. 90.244.91.81 07:51, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this global event and the 1950 nuclear war on the UK canon? I think the UK was only threatened, but it did not actually take place. If it did, then the government of Québec offers some free food and material aid to the UK (medicine, clothes, bricks, and yet more wood, wood pulp, paper, moose steaks, elk steaks and reindeer steaks are offered). 90.244.91.81 07:51, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * It is anything but canon.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction.
 * Argentina: The interior continues to be improved and the government continues to strengthen its hold on Chile by building coast batteries on the Pacific coast. The USA and Brazil are asked for a joint intervention force on Cuba before the communists fully take over the island. The creation of a nationalist Cuban government is also proposed to make Cuba a strong ally after the war. More invasion and false proofs are prepared. The military continues to grow with a new generation of assault guns and a new light tank. The jet engine is nearly stabilised and is planned to be really completed next year.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to SECRETLY supply Turkey with food, medicine, ammunition, mechanical parts, and most importantly, oil, to help fuel the Turkish war machine against the Western Imperialists. Meanwhile, Premier Leon Trotsky gains popularity for avoiding a direct war with Japan. Added with his economic and social reforms, make him a powerful leader in the world. A 50 MT bomb is detonated in the Siberian Tundra, which is observed by the Soviet High Command. Meanwhile, the Soviet Navy deploys submarines to prey on Persian shipping across the globe. Spetsnaz Units are SECRETLY deployed into neighbouring Romania, and the nations of West and East Arabia and Egypt. Oil production and exportation continues, which keeps gas prices in the Soviet Union down. Research continues on a bomber capable of striking Tokyo, Beijing, Mumbai, Paris, London, Anchorage, Los Angeles, or any other major city in Western Europe or the North Pacific. Meanwhile, Warsaw membership offers are sent to West and East Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Liberia. Military and economic support is sent to the Communist Cubans.


 * Québec Diplomacy: President Henri Claude Lapize wonders if the Persian provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, and Zanjan could form an Azeri neutral free state in northern Persia. He raises the issue in the UN and asks the USSR, USA, Turkey and Persia for their opinions on it. It would act as a buffer state against any further conflict in the region.
 * France resigns. Wow it must be a record as to how quickly I've left a game. I refuse to play a game in which the user Vivaporious (for the UMPTEENTH TIME) implausibly expands his nation.

 * Please stay? Stay? :D Flag_of_South_Korea.png PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 01:17, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * The United States completes its first far range nuclear missile. From New York it could hit Helsinki. President Stevenson is reelected with John F. Kennedy as his Vice President. The United States proposes to the UN that Persia be broken up into three or two states after the war to prevent acts like this in the future, as well as stripping Turkey of lands in the east.
 * Mexico, devastated by the war with the United States, begins to rebuild its economy and infrastructure. It joins the GO-COLD.
 * Yugoslavia: Yugoslavia becomes communist and asks to join the Warsaw Pact and asks to use Soviet weaponry for our troops and we begin tho build an Empire we invade Albania as our first target.
 * Brazil: We ask America to force Turkey to withdraw all troops in Europe and Persia, in continuation we ask Peru to make a new treaty in which you gain your lost lands and we a Pacific coast (Pita you should make an RNG please), Brazil agrees the joint intervention from Argentina, Brazil and USA. Military is built and the fleet is built, in other news the extraction of magnetite starts and militarily an old idea resurges, the Gauss Cannon. Scientists in Rio de Janeiro secretly begin work on a magnetic accelerated weapon for the Brazilian navy. Despite several issues, the technology seems promising and despite several failures within a year a special sniper rifle is developed, mainly to be used against the communists in the jungle. The project remains a secret and development of anti-IR weaponry with Gauss systems starts to be used in possible future conflicts (It's possible it's been done before with a chaingun by 1934), Brazil would like to purchase Suriname from the Netherlands for an acceptable price (another RNG) Brazil ask Argentina to join them in a Secret (Gauss cannon) Project known as Projeto fogo de ceú.
 * I think Guass Cannons are a no no - LOL.
 * IDK, one was done OTL in 1934 so I think it should be possible though I expect it could take five to ten years into a functional one, so it's up to you. I want a nuclear-like project and this is the closest thing without nukes Sine dei gloriem (talk) 22:32, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

 * What happened to my territories in Greece, Syria and Bulgaria?
 * Fixed it in Syria and Bulgaria. I am confused over cannon in Greece.
 * From Pita's comment on the talk page: Greece is already fully under Turkish control. Flag_of_South_Korea.png PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:24, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Korea: Korea continues to research high altitude planes as well as additional nuclear technology. They condemn the Turkish invasion of Persia, and requests they withdraw out of Greece. Meanwhile, it sends advisers and engineers over to India in order to help them with the building of their military.
 * Japan: The Japanese Forces begin once again anti-insurgency actions along the border with the rump Chinese republic and plans are brought up to put the Chinese state in chaos to secure the Chinese States under Japanese influence, members of the I.S.R.F. begin covert operation to destabalize the state and pin it on fellow Chinese within the republic while the government promotes a reapproachment policy in public between Chinese and Japanese, using the now stable and recovering states it created in the aftermath of the Sino-Japanese war as an example of this policy. The last of the Yamato class battleships are decommissioned and new battle cruisers and the new destroyer designs are put foward to replace them using the latest technology including new conventional missiles in development by the military missile and space program. The nuclear powerplant in Tokyo is finished and commercial usage begins. Research into microwave amplification begins by the Tokyo University (prototype to the laser, designed in 1953 in OTL but incapable of continuous output) the military takes a great interest in the project. The new bombers continue to be designed and will be ready within a year. The space and missile program continues with progress. The funding of Burmese nationalist continue and the I.S.R.F. begins preparing the group for a coup next year, which they will participate in. A new type of music influenced by western jazz begins to appear in Japanese cities. Laws are passed in an attempt to break the growing probem in the Japanese underground and a stricter protocol is adopted to support transparency and stop corruption in the police force. A final warning is issued to Turkey before the navy begins taking other measures. The APC designs are finalized and testing begins. All other projects are continued. Support for Indian industrialization continues.
 * Turkey R: The Turks will never leave, and laugh at the fact that the murderous Japanese demand they withdraw from Persia while the Japanese continue to squat on Chinese land.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.


 * Québec: Some railway construction occurs. Hydro-Québec begins building the Manic-5 Daniel-Johnson Dam, which is slated for completion between 1967 and 1968. Long term plans for three geo-thermal generation power plants will be developed, too. Agriculture and telecommunications are improved in rural places. Québec offers an alliance to the Dominican Republic and a trade deal to the Dominican Republic involving exports of cheap clothes, bricks, hard wood, wood pulp, paper, moose steaks, elk steaks and reindeer steaks in exchange for Dominican Republic coconuts, copra, bananas and palm oil if the Dominican Republic wants it to go ahead. A few more Martin B-57 Canberra bombers (eight), H-19 Royal Canadian Navy type transport helicopters (20), Republic RC-3 Seabee patrol craft (ten), Grumman F8F Bearcat fighters (ten) and US F-86 Sabre fighters (19) are made. 20 copies of the OTL American M-26 tank and ten Sherman tank copies are also made. 1,000 more personnel are recruited and trained up for military service. Two general cargo ships and five metal ore cargo ships are laid down and will be completed by 1959.5. More naval craft are planned and made. The four fast attack craft Iroquois, Cherokee, Cree and Innu [Jaguar class fast attack craft] are to be layed down 1957.0 and set to sail in 1958.0. President Henri Claude Lapize wonders if the Persian provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, and Zanjan could form an Azeri neutral free state in northern Persia. He raises the issue in the UN United Nations (Axis vs Allies: Revolutions Map Game) and asks the USSR, USA, France, Turkey and Persia for their opinions on it. It would act as a buffer state against any further conflict in the region. A trans-national Kurdish state is later proposed at the UN United Nations (Axis vs Allies: Revolutions Map Game). Tobacco, grain, fruit, cotton, rice, nuts, and tobacco are the staple crops of the region. Turkey is right about Shia/Sunni location thing[], but we would like to be neutral on the issue, but still push for a Azeri free state. The River Nile-2 (talk) 02:24, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cuba: On September 8th the leader of Cuba is assassinated. The Parliament of Cuba runs the country, though it is largely ineffective. Communist forces are initially strong in Santiago de Cuba especially, though they become more powerful in much of Eastern Cuba by the end of the year than they were at the beginning of the uprising.
 * Argentina: An intervention against Cuba is prepared and a task force began to be built, but during the time that the process happens, weapons begun to be secretly shipped to the government along with an invitation in the Latin America confederation which would allow our forces to move in. The interior continues to be improved and all houses across the nation now receive fresh water and every village at least has basic education. This led many Chileans to accept the new order. The USA is asked to join Brazil and us in an intervention against Cuba to protect the real government.
 * Turkey: The Turkish military makes a number of major breakthroughs in jet propulsion technology, and the government commissions the creation of a number of jet prototypes to replace the old turbine engine air force. The nuclear arsenal is expanded to deal with the Japanese threat, and plans to cooperate with the secret Soviet attempt to construct a long-range bomber are initiated. The navy is put on high alert to deal with any attempts by the Japanese to invade Persia. Meanwhile, the Turkish government approaches the Iraqi nation for a possibility of uniting the two under a single government.
 * Yugoslavia: We ask Turkey for our land that was lost in the war with Greece, and we annex Albania. (RNG; 1-7 no, 8-10 yes: 9 yes)
 * Turkisk D: We have no problems returning the land of an old ally. On another note, you need an RNG to annex Albania.
 * Yugoslav D: We say thanks and we supply you 300,000 troops to help in Persia.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to support Turkey and the Cuban rebels. Research continues into all modern technology. Sputnik I is launched into space, becoming the first Soviet satellite in space (Only a quarter of a year earlier than OTL). The Soviet Air Force begins to design a new jet fighter aircraft, while research into the high-altitude bomber begins. The Soviet Union sends request to Romania and Egypt (RNG, please) to join the Warsaw Pact.
 * Yugoslavia D: We ask to join the Warsaw pact.
 * Soviet D: Welcome.
 * Québec Diplomacy: Québec once more offers an alliance to the Dominican Republic and a trade deal to the Dominican Republic involving exports of cheap clothes, bricks, hard wood, wood pulp, paper, moose steaks, elk steaks and reindeer steaks in exchange for Dominican Republic coconuts, copra, bananas and palm oil if the Dominican Republic wants it to go ahead. As things develop in Cuba, Québec says it’s not interested in the Island nation, but offers an alliance to both Haiti and Iceland, along with a trade deal like that one for the D.R. (Iceland can replace th cocanuts and bananas with granite, stone and wool). Can an RNG or what ever be done for each of the three nation’s alliances by a mod. Got it. Iceland, no to all; Haiti, yes to all; Dominican Republic, no to alliance, yes to trade offers.


 * The United States offers to buy Newfoundland and Nova Scotia plus PEI since they are isolated from the rest of Canada. This will also help the UK pay off its debts. Meanwhile, the dog Lassie launched into space. VP Kennedy gives a speech and he says that "Iron Curtains have fallen in Europe, between democracy and communism, and in the Far East, between communism and imperialism and imperialism and democracy, setting off a new war; a Cold War; not a war of bloodshed and killing, but of an arms race, and a technology race, and an influence race. A war of hostility." The OTL Tsar bomb equivalent, called the Revolutionary, is tested in the deserts of Arizona. The Mexican territories are admitted as states. Meanwhile, interventionary troops are deployed to Cuba, and offers the young African nations aid. America also decides to aid the Greeks asking for help. Some troops are deployed their as well, as well as supplies being sent.
 * Global Events: Revolution opens in Syria and Transjordan. Gammal Abdel Nasser comes to power in Egypt. He refuses the Soviet offers (RNG, 1-4 yes. 5-10 no, 7) and decides to remain independent of foreign powers. He seeks to unite the Middle East as one nation. Meanwhile West Arabia unites with Yemen, and Adel and Oman declare independence from Britain. East Arabia annexes Oman. In Greece, civil war begins to die down, thanks to US support. India accepts independence of Burma and Bengal. The Sultanate of Bengal is established, a Muslim nation. The first Sultan, Mahmud "the Great," asks alliances with Persia, Pakistan, West Arabia, and East Arabia. Burma asks to join the E.A.T.S.P. The Republicans in Spain defeat the Royalists and now have a large capacity to fight Franco and his government. Madrid falls. Spain moves the capital farther south towards Granada. Meanwhile, in Ireland a communist revolution starts.

1957



 * Korea: Korea continues to research high altitude flight, as well as faster-than-sound flight. Hollow point bullets also begin mass production as the army's standard bullet. High explosive rounds are also distributed to tanks and the increasingly effective anti-tank missiles. Space flight also continues research, although it takes a lower precedence.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai is finished writing the first issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2 and will it be released sometime mid-year. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Argentina: Mexico is offered support to rebuild itself. The Cuban crisis makes the people push for an intervention to prevent a communist takeover and kills their leader to prevent more revolution across Latin America. The USA is asked for support in an intervention in Cuba or at least covert at the United Nations. Chile is now almost fully linked to the Latin American railroad network. The Cuban fascists (think that there is a lot?), are supplied with weapons and supplys to oppose the communists and, if possible, take the head of state.
 * The fascists aren't really that big any more.
 * Cuba: The Communist party grows as the old Cuban government is seen as inefficient. Due to charismatic leadership and careful word choice by the leaders of the Communist party, they've captured the hearts and minds of many Cuban civilians. Martial law is declared. Fighting intensifies with no sign of slowing down. The Communists gain ground and are knocking on Havana's door by June.
 * Québec: Québec offers some free food and material aid to Mexico (medicine, clothes, bricks,hard wood, wood pulp, paper, moose steaks, elk steaks and reindeer steaks are offered). We create five new state run firms controlling all assets left over from former Canadian state assets left in Québec after separation, its own national assets and any future developments by Québec.
 * 1) Cabine téléphonique Canadien de longue portée- Rural and international phones.
 * 2) Cabine téléphonique de courte portée Québec- Urban phones.

 * 4) Comité Québec métro train- Trams and underground trains in Quebec City and Montréal.
 * 5) Le Comité sur les services de distribution du camionnage et du carburant- Trucking and fuel distribution services.
 * Six more Martin B-57 Canberra bombers, 22 H-19 Royal Canadian Navy type transport, five Republic RC-3 Seabee patrol craft, five Grumman F8F Bearcat fighters and ten US F-86 Sabre fighters are made. Military aircraft production its finished. 12 M-26 tank and 12 Sherman tanks also made as tank production ends. 500 more personnel are recruited and trained up for military service as recruiting nears its end. Three jetliners based on the De Havilland DH 106 Comet are rolled out in Montréal airport. A steel mill and blast furnace open in Québec City.


 * Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment ship Cornucopia [HMCS Protecteur (AOR 509)] 1963.0 and set to sail in 1964.0.
 * Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment Teeth [HMCS Preserver (AOR 510)] is to be layed down in 1964.5 and set to sail in 1965.5.
 * Quebec would like to buy the five small, but strategically important Canadian islands (Mansel, Charles, Akpatoc, Resolution and Button) that lie off its coastline to aid navigation and reduce naval litigation over issues of fishing rights, due to the confused nature on the nation’s de facto coastlines. Payment to the UK will be in 6,000 tons of iron ore and 1,000 tons of wrought iron ingots. The Iron would be handy for the UK’s arms and reconstruction programs.


 * Iceland: We request that the world allow us to expand exclusive fishing rights to 12 Nautical miles outside our territoral waters. Our economy is based almost entirely on fish and overfishing has resulted in depleted stocks. We face economic collapse. (I'm Serious!). The government starts Project Baldr, a shake up of the energy supply, ordering the construction of Geothermal power plants. A review of the Coast Guard is ordered.
 * Game Events: Warman555 is banned for one week for switching his nation from Britain to Yugoslavia, a non-existent country, while playing France at the same time. David, welcome.
 * What the hell, I wasn't playing two nations at the same time
 * Then why was there a post for France and the non-existent "Yugoslavia" at the same time?
 * That was my retarded cousin. Sorry, guys
 * Sure it was.
 * Global Events: Nasser seizes the opportunity. In the name of "stabilizing" the country, he invades Transjordan. Both sides, drastically weakened, accepts the occupation. Nasser proclaims the United Arab Republic. He asks foreign powers to recognize his new nation and files a UN resolution/request. Meanwhile, Britain agrees to sell the outer provinces that are isolated from Canada for 6.7 million pounds. (RNG: 1-3, Yes. 4-10, No. 2.) In Ireland, the communists gradually overpower the Republicans. The two sides agree on ceasefire. The People's Republic of Ireland is proclaimed. It asks to join the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, in Spain, the Republicans destroy the fascists. The Republic of Spain is pronounced. It joins the GO-COLD.
 * Japan: T he Japanese Navy blocks the red sea preventing the usage of the canal by Turkish ships though all other national ships are allowed to pass, the number of ships in the Indian Ocean are increased. Military covert operations continue in Free China and the destabalization of the state continues. The Coup is cancelled in Burma with the current government asking for entry to the E.A.T.S.P. but the support of the nationalist faction continues with hopes that a strong anti-communist government will be established. Emperor Hirohito falls ill to Malaria and is rushed to Tonkin for medical treatment since in tonkin the bio program based on jungle diseases is there. Prime Minister Yamamato gives a speech to the entire nations over radio and for the first time on Television about the current world situation: " my fellow country men we live in an increasingly volatile world where the Communist threat and the ramnents of western imperialism threaten what we have created, in these times Japan and its allies must stand strong in the face of these threats and move towards the future, While we must stand strong, Japan must avoid conflict where necesary and promote Asian ideals through diplomacy and trade more then through aggression." The usage of the power plant in Tokyo is expanded as 9% of the cities energy is now provided by the plant, the success of the plant pushes the government to fund the creation of more power plants throughout the country. All research programs are continued and Japan is the second nation to launch a sattilite into space after the Soviets the previous year. plans to send the first living being into space by next year are put forward with the construction of the space rocket nearing completion. several flaws are notioced in the Arisawa 50 and 55 so plans to develop a new assault rifle with a bullpup mechanism to create better manuerverability and efficiency but this is giving low priority in front of other major projectys the Mitsubishi ATS 57 is released (an APC) and it is slowly beginning to replace the previous model. The long range bombers near completion. The research into microwave amplification continues. The remodeling of the navy continues with the reconstruction and modernization set to be completed by 1964. General economic growth continues.


 * Turkish D: The Turkish government has annouced that it doesn't Persia, and will withdraw in return for Japan's non-interference with Turkish matters in the future.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: the government accepts the turkish proposal and Japan begins preparing to withdraw from the Western Indian Ocean within the next year.
 * Québec Deplomacy: News from the UN on Québec's on two resolutions. United Nations Resolution 0004 on the South Azari homeland has been passed, but United Nations Resolution 0005 over Kurdestan is still being debated. Quibeck suggests that Turkey’s Adıyaman Province and Malatya (which produces 80% of the world apricots harvest) will be retained by Turkey as will the ethnically Turkish coastal provinces, but Turkey must guarantee a Kurdish road or rail corridor to a Kurdish owned dock or wharf at the Black Sea port of Trabzon. This corridor and dock are non-negotiable and mandatory.
 * Turkey: The Turkish forces in the Red Sea threaten to blockade the Suez Canal and prevent any trade from passing through it the Japanese do not vacate the region. Refusal to leave will refuse in Turkey dismantling the canal, and preventing anyone from using it. Additionally, Turkish naval forces in the Persian Gulf block the Straits of Hormuz, preventing the oil from the region–some 25% of the world's oil, from exiting the gulf. Turks state that they will allow it to flow once the Japanese leave. Turkish forces move into Lebanon to occupy the country in an attempt to bring it back into the Turkish nation. A secret delegation is sent to the Soviet Union to discuss what they are to do next. In the field of technology, the first Turkish jet fighter is completed.
 * The United Arab Republic threatens to declare war on Turkey should it dare to trespass on international rights to the Suez Canal.
 * Turkish R: Our great nation isn't afraid of Egypt. If Japan refuses to remove itself from international trade lanes, then they and yourself should not be surprised if we response in such. But we will not harm your precious canal. But know that we will be watching you closely.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese is in this for the long haul, we purchase oil from the states and from Southeast Asia mainly so the Turkish threats aren't much of a threat. Japan promises support to Egypt should it face problems with the Turks.
 * Icelandic Diplomacy: As a seafaring nation we are irritated by the actions of both the Japanese and Turkish navies in presuming to blockade the Seuz canal. We call on both sides to talk rather than fight, and stress that 'No nation has the right to interfere in international waters without the agreement of the International Community'. However we agree with Japan in every respect regarding the withdrawl of Turkey and the creation of a Kurdish state and if war becomes enevitable we shall give Japan our full support, on the condition it mantains the Just_war_theory (Particualy Jus in bello).
 * Read I said only blocking turkish ships not other nations ships. Japan
 * Noted. Same conclusion. It is INTERNATIONAL. Turkey is a recognised state. David Rain (Sometimes...) (talk)

 * Nile, please stop screwing with the map. If you need to add those Azeri states, edit this map. Don't mess with India or the southern Middle East. Currently those are my project area. Also, Republican Spain won over. I quit, you should do your own maps than wate for others to do them.
 * ...That's what I said. I do the original map, and you do the corrections. Simple.
 * Global Events: Gammal Abdel Nasser secretely asks Turkey to leave Syria, since it is in revolution, and secretely promises to supply Turkey if it invades Iraq. Nasser pressures free southern Syria and West Arabia into his republic. He moves the capital to the former Transjordanese-Arabian border, to be centrally located. Meanwhile he prepares to invade Libya, but offers it the option of joining the UAR. Meanwhile in Ireland, the North Irish republicans, feeling threatened between the GO-COLD influenced UK to the north, and the communist South Ireland to the South, it asks to join the Japanese group and South Ireland wants to join Warsaw Pact. In Argentina, Chile declares its independence from the Argentinians. Qata joins East Arabia. Sudan gains independence, as well as French West Africa and Algeria, France and Spain sign an agreement that allows French Morocco, Spanish Morocco, and Spanish West Sahara to unite under the single banner of the Kingdom of Morocco. Spain join GO-COLD. Kenya and Tanzania gain independence as the East African Union.
 * Québec: Electricity distribution systems are improved in rural places. Everyone except Canada, the USA, Iceland and Greenland's colonial master, Denmark, are to keep away from Greenland, which is in our 'back yard'. Québec promises to recognise Iceland’s claim to more fishing grounds. Resolution 0005 is passed for creating a Kurdish state. It will come in to effect in the Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian sections of the proposed nation. Turkey must guarantee a Kurdish road or rail corridor to a Kurdish owned dock or wharf at the Black Sea port of Trabzon. Noting the pending global crisis Québec hurriedly builds 6 basic coastal attack diesel subs (Claude, Claudia, Claudette, Rochelle, Steve and Claudia) [HMS Undine (N48)]. 500 troops are recruited, bringing recruitment to an end. The final 2 war vessels the coastal attack diesel sub Mort aux idiots [HMS Alliance (P417)] and ocian going attack diesel sub Philippe [MS Tireless (P327)] will be layed down in 1962 and launched in 1963. Rochell is sent to protct Iceland and Steve is sent to protect Haiti.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai is releases the first issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2; Miko, Koishi, and Kogasa go to Pattaya and meet คอนปาคุ โยวมุ (Khxnpākhu Yowmu, Konpaku Youmu) who gives them another case to solve, this time following a bizzare automobile thief who steals newly imported automobiles; they go, and Miko manages to find a first clue, a spell card. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * 'Québec: User quits due to mod opposition to the creation of a Kurdish and Azeri nation the UN has passed. Quebec becomes a member of the commonwealth and goes pink like Canada. The global events are a bit ASB to.
 * What? All I said was that your map was wrong. I explicitly asked you to add the Azeri states to the map.
 * Japan: Japan, having secured its second political victory in the cold war, begins withdrawing the navy from the west Indian Ocean to bases in Indonesia, Indochina or back home to the homeland. The research into all previous projects are continued and Japan tests its first conventional missile which breaks up after 40 seconds and more testing is needed but the test is considered a success. Japan seeing this as an opurtunity to gain a new ally in the world signs an alliance treaty with North Ireland but can't make it a member of the E.A.T.S.P. due to the alliance being only a regional one bent on avoiding western imperialism. Hirohito's condition improves after being medicated but his body is greatly weaked by the bacterial attack on his body. However, he refuses to stop his travels and decides to visit Indonesia before returning to Japan having finally made a compromise with the Diet to not go outside of Asia. Production of nuclear weapons continue and some are handed over to the navy for "defensive measures" should the occasion occur where they are needed. The expansion of the rail lines throughout the E.A.T.S.P. continues and permission is requested to expand the rail lines into Siam and Korea to connect the entire alliance. A hit movie comes out named "Lost in Hindi Land". It is about a member of the I.S.R.F. who is stranded behind British lines in the former British Raj and is forced to do what he can to survive even murdering the locals who he was sent to aid in their independence. The soldier eventually reaches the border of friendly Siam where he receives treatment and eventually stays with a local. The movie gains large popularity due to the huge suspense and drama the movie carries and because it deals with some very uneasy areas of morality. The movie is sent
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri agrees to the rail expansion and allows it.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government, as a thanks to the years of Thai cooperation and the longstanding military alliance, decides to open the Tonkin facility to Thai researchers and gift two computers to Siam to with what they please as long as the computers remain in government hands for the next five years without being distributed on a commercial level.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri happily thanks them and promises to keep the two computers in government hands. She also sends some Thai researchers to the Tonkin Factory.
 * Jap D: The government sends a technician who will help the Thai learn how to use the computer and the Researchers are welcomed into the Tonkin counter Bio-warfare medical facility.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union welcomes South Ireland into the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, the USSR SECRETLY suggest to Turkey to finish up in the already invaded state, divide them up and integrate them into Turkey. Meanwhile, the test of its first missile is somewhat a success, making it up in the atmosphere, but breaks apart and lands in field outside of Moscow. Research continues on all modern technology, including computers, while Soviet Spetznaz are sent to Chile to help support the Chileans against Argentina. Soviet Spetznaz inside Cuba continue to support the rebels against the government.

1958

 * Korea: Korea continues to research future tech of warfare. High altitude, supersonic flight continues development, as well as cheap bulletproof vests. Meanwhile, the interior is improved, and trade continues as well.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished. Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri and the government cabinet learns more about the computer and they are impressed by it and some also love it.
 * Argentina: Do not accept the Chilean separation and invade with the new goal to reverse the government to create a nationalist anti-communist puppet regime wich will join the Latin American Confederation organisation. The Chilean coast is entirely blockaded and the army of Argentina launched a massive assault against the nation. A lot of research programs are started to develop our version rocket. The first reliable jet engine is developed and a new generation of aircraft began to be built to eventually replace the older.
 * Brazil: After several years and several attempts to made a deal with Peru, Peru seems to find no political adequate for the land exchange between Brazil and Peru. Brazil offers a last exchange with half of the gained lands from Peru, to gain a small access to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the project Fogo de Ceú continues being produced, and Argentina is again offered joint help to develop it. While Rio de Janeiro remains as a primal central city in the south, the president seeks to build up a new capital expected to be called Nova Arcadia a few kilometers west of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil begins industrialization and Portuguese is beginning to be taught to the taken areas of Colombia and Peru, the fleet is re-updated and the ten carriers are fully done and owned by the Brazilian fleet.
 * Argentina accepts to support the Brazilian project.
 * Ten is a bit too much, more like three or four.
 * Turkey: Turkey launches its invasion of Iraq after failing to woo the state into a peaceful union (no RNG, go figure). 175,000 troops from the Persian provinces are sent into Iraq to enforce the annexation of the nation. A delegation is sent to Eastern Arabia to secure a deal with the king there for a political union (RNG 1-7 no, 8-10 yes; 3 no). ((ლ( (ಠ益ಠ) ((ლ( 15:29, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Japan: The Empire begins turning its eyes to the Philippines, Hong Kong and Malaysia the last areas in Southeast Asia that aren&amp;apos;t in the E.A.T.S.P. and the government moves its special operations to the last British Colonies in East Asia and to the island nation, supplying weapons to nationalists and right wing groups within the territories, Japan demands that The British Empire grant independence to its remaining East Asian colonies. Troops continue their black ops missions in free China to further destabilize the region and the help fund a group known as the Black Tiger which is a stout anti-communist group while they keep an eye on its leader, who the high command doesn&amp;apos;t trust. Research into all previous projects continues. A second conventional missile is tested and it hits the land but it misses its target. Japan has finally created a true missile but it is inaccurate at the moment. The Missile is called the HK 1, and production will begin once an accurate system is designed. The first animal will be sent into space at the end of the year. Thanks to the permission of the Siamese government, Japan expands their rail lines into Siam connecting the two lines. Investment into the Indonesian economy is expanded.
 * The United States asks Japan to stay away from the Philippines, a US state.
 * Japanese D: The Japanese government reminds the USA that they granted the Philippines independence in the 1930 &amp; apos's (I think, anyway not sure if you did though) but would be willing to back away from from the region (since it has little economic importance.) as long as the USA agrees to the island area being a neutral nation outside of American and Japanese influence, since Japan doesn't like the idea of dealing with the other two would powers so close to the homeland. In exchange Japan will promise not to intervene in the Philippines.
 * No, I made them a state in the 30s. Anyway, letting states go or giving them independence is sadly against our Constitution.
 * Jap D: The government of Japan will agree to withdraw their influence from the Philippines as long as it is the will of the islanders and under the condition that no nuclear missiles or large amounts of troops be stationed on the islands. Final offer of Japan.
 * Iceland: Project Baldr continues. We aim to be self-efficient by 1965. We really must stress action by the international community requarding UN resolution 0007. We send an offer to Denmark, stating that, when our economy has strengthened we would like to buy Greenland. (RNG 1-7 No, 8-10 Yes: 8). They accept this proposal, but say the price must be decided nearer the time (and that it will be high). We condemn the Turkish invasion of Iraq and send aid. We ask Turkey to recognise a charitable act, and not to harm our aid workers, who are all civilian volunteers. The Icelandic Coast Guard begins a process of modernisation.
 * Cuba: On April 8th, the Communist forces in Cuba have finally won the long war. The Cuban Revolution is over. The old, ineffective government is replaced by a Communist government. Alliances to the USSR and other Communist nations are offered.
 * The United States publicly denounces the Cuban communist government. Several refugees flood Florida, including a young man named Fidel Castro. More missiles are built. The new Azeri and Kurdish states are recognized and openly welcomed into the UN. A new Progressive Party is formed from disillusioned members of the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as several third parties. It gains a large minority in the Senate, although not in the House. Four states also elect Progressive governors.
 * The Soviet Union accepts the alliance from Cuba and offers them to join the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, research into all modern technologies. The Soviet Union begins developing new military designs, including the T-62 MBT and the MiG-2. Work begins on missiles, missile silos, and missile mobile land launchers. The Soviet Union continues to support the Chileans and Turkey, while the United States is approached with a proposal from the Soviet Union to reunite East and West Germany under one government and becoming a neutral nation.

1958.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to research the high altitude surveillance plane, and the research is starting to bear fruit. However, it is still years away from a prototype. Several War Plans are created- including War Plan Red (war with Japan), War Plan Yellow (war with Manchuria), War Plan Green (war with Siam), and War Plan Blue (war with the USSR). They are constantly updated. Meanwhile, Korean advisors and engineers continue to help India and Manchuria in technology and tactics. The Soviet Union is also requested to sell Korea some MiGs.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Taking a gamble, the Japanese government offers to supply a computer to the Korean government along with data on the recent advances in nuclear technology, in exchange for full transparency in military and political matters between Seoul and Tokyo, and the recent advances made by Korea in high altitude planes.
 * The Soviet Union continues research into all modern technology and the first high-altitude jet bomber prototype is designed. Construction on nuclear missile silos in the Far East and the Russian Province of the USSR, as well as radar along the coast and borders. Two War Plans are developed - War Plan Pink and War Plan Red. War Plan Pink is war with Japan, while War Plan Red is war with the United States or GO-COLD. The Soviet Union agrees to sell MiGs to Korea. List of nuclear targets are drafted by the Soviet High Command, including Tokyo, Mumbai, Rome, Frankfurt, London, Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and other major cities and military bases across Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America.
 * The United States demands to whether or not it is true that the Soviet Union's KGB trained Ludwig Kershner and Harold Rosser to assassinate the two Presidents of the United States, Henry A. Wallace and Adlai E. Stevenson II.
 * Soviet D: A KGB Spokesman announces that the KGB had trained the two Germans, but never ordered them to attack an American president.
 * You don't get it. You're not supporting the Nazis, the Nazis are really KGB agents.
 * There. I fixed it. Let's see how the Cold War goes from here.
 * All right then.
 * The United States is still suspicious, but accepts the explanation.
 * The United States continues to research into farther-than-present long-range bombers as well as lunar technology. The first man is put into lunar orbit. He be Alan Shepherd. He be hailed as a national hero. Wernher von Braun dies. President Stevenson is assassinated. Currently the successor to a series of dying presidents, new President Patrick F. Kennedy (OTL John F. Kennedy) launches massive large scale investigation. Ludwig Kershner, the assassin of former President Wallace, is found to have been in the training of the Soviet KGB. President Kennedy demands answers. Now with the Soviets openly a threat, America drafts a plan for war against the Soviet Union. Nicknamed "Operation Red Command" by the high-ranking military officials tasked with completing and fulfilling it, the real War Plan Star and Sickle details invading the Eastern Soviet Union via Alaska, although primarily through air force, by bombing (not nuclearly) Vladivostok, obtaining Japanese permission to sail in its naval space, launch a landing on Vladivostok, and moving inwards. However, really important part is the Western Soviet Union. The WPSS requires an invasion of East Germany and Poland simultaneously through West Germany, while the Navy invades the Soviet coastline in the Baltic. War Plan Emergency Red, however, demands the nuking of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, and several minor locations where radiation will spread fast. WPER, though, is for and only for application in the case the Soviets either: A: Strike first, either by invasion or bombing. B: Strike first, via nuclear weapons usage. OR C: Use nuclear weapons in/during the/a war.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan would agree in case war breaks out but refuses to allow nukes to be used near Japan out of fear of fall out, and Japan would be forced to enter the conflict to protect its borders and national security
 * Remember folks, this is secret diplomacy between the United States and the Empire of Japan. The United States agrees, and asks Japan to agree vice versa.
 * Japanese D: JApan accepts.
 * Argentina: weapons and fund are send to the opposition in Cuba in the hope that the Castro regime will be overthrow, also, all diplomatic relation are cut. The communist infiltration in America make the government order a expansive military build up. The invasion of Chile continue with most of the nation occupy. Argentina begun to developp a larger submarine fleet. The USA and Brazil are offer to form a pact to prevent more nation on the continent to fall to the communists.
 * The United States accepts. BTW, Cuba is controlled by Che Guevara. The Castros ATL were anti-communist and campaigned for democracy in Cuba.
 * Japan: Shocked by the American launching a man into spae before them speeds up preperations to send a man into space as quickly as possible so not to fall behind in the space race. The Government supports the creation of a plan to fall back to in case war breaks out though Japan hopes for otherwise, and the security of Indonesia and Manchuria are integrated into the Japanese security policies due to their importance to national interests. The research into all previous projects continue with great progress, a breakthrough is made in bio-studies by accident when a virus is mutated while trying to create an anti-body to protect against it. This prompts the Diet to create a sub-division based solely on genetic research. The Mitsubishi T-58 (longrange heavy bomber) is created and production begins. Tonkin is officially made a prefecture of the Japanese Empire and full rights are granted to all living in the new national territory.all civilians that live on a permanent basis within Japan and have jobs and have learned Japanese are now eligible for citizenship. The Japanese government authorises the increase of spec ops taking place in Free China and Malaya and Britain is preassured further grant independence to its remaining territories. A new chopper design is made that will be for assaults only and not for transport and the current choppers for transport will be changed in the future for more efficient designs. economic deals continue to be made with fellow E.A.T.S.P. to increase economic interdependency and cooperation between the states, Siam and Korea are offered the same deals. Hirohito makes a full recovery though he is still very weak from months of being ill. The naval reconstruction continues as the new aircraft carrier the Shogun class is made to start replacing the old design and the Zero 22 is made in larger amounts. Crackdowns on the Japanese underworld continue and tougher laws are passed including forbidden civilians from keeping firearms, to preserve public safety and order. A new exchange program is started between Japan, Indonesia, Manchuria, and Indochina, and Siam and Korea are invited to join it as well, along with the USA to teach the west about Japanese and Asian society. other contingency plans are made for different nations and to deal with possible insurgencies in the E.A.T.S.P. testing into missiles continue and distribution of the current conventional missile ythroughout the navy begins with silos and rocket launchers started to be constructed a new anti-tank weapon is also put forward for design. nuclear plant sites are choosing in Taihoku, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Satsuma for new powerplants, and more nuclear weapons are made.
 * The United States joins the exchange program.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri agrees to also join exchange program, and accepts the deal.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Cuba: Reparations from the war are made. As more of the infrastructure is rebuilt, jobs are created, putting many Cubans back to work. The military is expanded. Meanwhile, Cuba accepts the Soviet offer to the Warsaw Pact. Argentina is denounced for attempting to overthrow a country that presently means it no harm. Communist sympathizers in Mexico and areas of Mexico that the US stole are supplied.
 * Italy: Italy is nearly complete on its nuclear bomb research. Quebec is asked for a trade and military alliance. Military and economic buildup continues.
 * Iceland: Project Baldr Continues. The new Exclusive Fishing Zone (EFZ) comes into force as per UN Resolution 0007. The Government sets up the VERT (Volcanic Eruption Response Team) to deal with any eruptions in the future. Danish say that the price of Greenland as $21,660,000 ($10 per Square Km).
 * Turkey: Turkey continues on with its invasion of Iraq, and once again approaches East Arabia with an offer to join them (RNG: 1-7 no, 8-10 yes; 6 no). Elsewhere, the Turks secretly fear the power of a long-range bomber and surveillance plane under development in the United States and Korea, and launches their own shadow project aimed with developing technology to get to the moon by 1965. Additionally, plans to develop an ICBM are underway at a secret location in the nation. The government also secretly commissions the development of virus bombs.
 * All of these are implausible for Turkey right now. I'll give you some appropriate dates.
 * Lunar landing (man or machine): 1980
 * ICBM: 2000
 * Virus bombs: 1965
 * I suppose that is fair and reasonable. Sorry for the implausibility.
 * No problemo. So long as you understando.
 * Lucky me, I possess the largest and most productive anti-biowarfare and chemical warfare program. XD Nkbeeching

1959

 * Sorry - wanted to start next turn. If this isn't OK, just erase what I put. Nkbeeching
 * Japan: A wealthy Japanese living in Manchuria writes a paper about there possibly being oil in Manchuria as well as other reserves throughout Japanese influenced China. (Look up oil reserves in China and when they began exploitation in OTL is right on time. Though I won't exploit the coastline for at least 20 years due to the difficulties of making offshore extraction facilities) . The government and army, hungry to open up new oil extraction to ease the Indonesian oil industry, become interested in the idea and so do the Zaibatsu, but the army backs the initial finder and helps him start up a new company - "Manchu-Japanese Oil Inc." and provides specialists for the company to look into the possible reserves in Manchuria. A deal is made with the Manchu government to make the company a Japanese-Manchurian one giving earnings to both countries. All research projects continue and the first phases of the microwave enhancement proves that the project, while promising is a dead end, but provides the foundations for the start of research into lasers (started in 1957 in OTL). Refitting the navy continues and the Shogun class aircraft carriers are in production. A proposed Joint Japanese-American naval exercise is proposed off the coast of the Marshall Islands (Japanese territory since we never lost them this game) as a measure to secure Japanese and American newfound cooperation. The bullpup mechanism proves extremely effiecient and a gun based on this design is started to be made. Japanese industrialism continues to grow with the continuous inflow of resources from East Asia and the open market for Japanese goods within its allies' nations. The Golden Age of Japan is declared in a series of newspapers. Hirohito returns to Japan still frail and continues his post as the head of state of the empire of Japan. New car designs are made, produced by Japanese corporations. Japan decides it's time to share its technological advancements with its allies in Asia - with Indonesia, Siam and MAnchuria being the largest recipients of the gifts. Pressure on Britain continues to liberate Malaysia.
 * Argentina: After a small rest, the troops began to push farther in Chile. In occupied areas, the known opposition members are arrested and send to Patagonia where re-education camps were built to brainwash the opposition and in the case of failure, make them disappear. The goverment of Chile is offering to surrender to avoid any further damage to their land. Research to improve the civilian and military technology continues and education becomes free and more money is put in it in the hope that the schools of the nation become the best in Latin America.


 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government makes an offer to Argentina hoping to improve relations with Latin America. It offers the government aid in its research projects and offers to aid Argentina to suppress the Chilean insurrection under the condition that Chile becomes a puppet state or is granted full autonomy within the Argentinean state, and that Argentina return to democracy and moves away from the dictatorship that has ruled Argentina for the past two decades. If these conditions are met Japan will aid Argentina. If not, Japan will simply turn its eyes away from the matter and all chances for there to be better relations between the two states will be lost.
 * Argentina D: We will think about adopting your alliance system as it was successful and we have the same goal as you.
 * Chile is already independent as the People's Republic of Chile. Argentina should not be invading, as Chile has protection of both the US as an American nation and the Soviet Union as a communist nation.
 * I accept the Soviet explanation but the US and I had a deal. In addition, a communist state would not be supported by the US, at least surely not in the Americas. Take OTL Cuba.
 * Oh, right. Still, no invading Chile. Chile is independent. No more imperialism.
 * The United States continues to explore modern nuclear technology, as well as space things. Plans for a probe to Mars begin, and a man on the moon is predicted by or before 1965. President Kennedy announces his plans to run for elected President next year. Progressive Senator Nelson A. Rockefeller declares that he intends to be the first candidate for the Presidency from the new Progressive Party. Meanwhile, President Kennedy accepts Japan's offer of the naval exercises. The Mexicans and Canadians gained territories are accepted as states. The flags goes up to having 56 stars. Meanwhile, the government plans referendums in Puerto Rico and the Pacific territories for statehood or remaining in current status.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The government thanks the USA for its participation and the first joint Pacific execise is held on june 5th with mild results but with the Japanese aircraft and navy leaving a strong impression on the US navy and vice versa setting off a something of a friendly rivalry between the two national navies.
 * Iceland: On the 1st of January, and with appropriate solemnity Greenland is declared Icelandic Sovereign territory (subject to contract). [[File:AvARe_Flag_of_Iceland-Greenland_Proposal.png|thumb|The proposal of Scrawland Scribblescratch. Consider me just as

Alfred Tryggvi Anders Anton Wolff. Or Anders Anton Wolff is you prefer. ]]A week of celebration is declared. The government is reorganised to include Greenland as an equal part. Elections will take place every five years. With The first election results though, the country's political stance has moved to socialism. A competition is held to see who can design the best flag for the new union. The results will be announced soon ... In other news, the Government expands and re-equips the Icelandic Coast Guard, renaming it the Union Naval Corps. Project Baldr continues.
 * Can we (the players of the game) submit flag design ideas?
 * Yes. A merging of flags would be nice.
 * Hear ye, Scrawlandad's Proposal.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Korea: Korea continues to research experimental technologies. With the new MiGs provided by the Soviet Union, the Korean Air Force continues to train with a vigor.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government secretly moves funding to a railgun project to bolster the fighting power of their troops. Turkey approaches the East Arabians a third time with proposals to join their nation to Turkey (RNG: 1-7 no, 8-10 yes: 8 yes). The Turkish invasion force in Iraq continues onward, and begin constructing a pipeline to reach Antioch to export their oil supplies to Europe.

1959.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to research experimental technologies, focusing on high altitude flight. MiGs begin to be produced in Korean factories, and a new version of the R-22 tank comes out for the army as well. The Korean Marine Corps is also formed, along with the Korean Paratroop Corps.
 * Turkey: The country's jet propulsion research pays off with the development of the Mirage IV strategic bomber and deep-reconnaissance aircraft, and is to go into full production in 1960. Additionally, the nation's radar system is completed, with full coverage from Greece to the Caucaus Mountains. The development of new military technologies remains the country's number one priority.
 * Icelandic Diplomacy: We would like to buy five Mirage IV's from you. Price open to negotiation along with a promise that they will not be used against you unless you threaten Icelandic interests.
 * Turkish Response: We accept the request, and the five Mirages will be shipped to you in 1960.
 * Iceland: Renames itself the Norður lýðveldi (North Republic). Project Baldr continues. The new flag is displayed (Thanks to Scraw). Project Baldr continues. Kalaallisut is given the status of a second official language, all children will be taught to speak it. A new university is opened at Ilulissat (The Ilulissat Instiute of Technology; IIT) specialising in science and engineering.
 * You're welcome. ~ S
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Argentina: continue its research, the jet continue to spread in the air force and many new helicopters begun to be design. The government began to democratise the nation to gain some reputation, elections are prepare and are to occur in one year. However, the communist parties are still forbidden. The opposition in Chile began to be found in the hope that the regime will be overthrown.
 * The Soviet Union launches a man into space, but is still determined to reach the Moon before the US or Japan. Meanwhile, a strategic bomber capable of reaching close or trans-Pacific cities and military bases is developed and mass production continues. Helicopters are improved as are jet fighters. Submarines continue to be the primary force of the Soviet Navy, with the capable of creeping up on an enemy coast fire its 24 nuclear missiles, before returning to the Pacific Ocean. Spetznaz are sent to Chile to protect the Chilean Government from the Argentines, as well as picking off political opponents that threaten the Communist Regime in Chile. The Soviet Union offers Turkey and Chile to join the Warsaw Pact, which would help strength the effort against GO-COLD and E.A.T.S.P. The Soviet Union begins to fund Communists within Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. The Soviet Union begins to place nuclear weapons in East Germany, Poland, the Far East Provinces, and SECRET requests are sent to Cuba, Chile, and Turkey to allow the placement of nuclear weapons within their respect territories. Develope of an high-altitude surviellance plane begins. Radar is improved, with the coverage of the Soviet Union, parts of Turkey, Eastern Europe, and parts of former China along the border. The radar can detect nuclear missiles or planes launched from the United States, GO-COLD, or Japan and the E.A.T.S.P. almost instantly, giving the ability to strike back with full force.
 * The Soviets are lagging in the space race behind both America and Japan. You'd have to wait until 1967, plausibly. There are no communists in Mexico which is in GO-COLD.
 * Okay
 * The United States demands that the Soviets withdraw from Chile, as it is in violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The United States and Argentina (which is NOT, I repeat,  NOT  invading Chile) and Mexico will stop at nothing to enforce this.
 * The Soviet Union will withdraw, for the sake of world peace. Also, we would like to propose a START treaty, to limit nuclear weapons between the two superpowers.
 * We do not invade Chile, we are only discretly supporting the anti-communists, we have no soldiers behind their frontier and we are at peace.
 * I know Argentina's not invading Chile. I'm talking about picking off pro-democrats in Communist Chile.
 * Oh.
 * The United States agrees to the START program and suggests that we include Japan in on this.
 * Jap D: The Japanese will also sign the treaty and reminds the USSR that Japan is also a super power (maybe not in terms of land, but we are on the same level militarily, and economically, a bit more advanced technologically in certain areas and we have large influence in East Asia and access to enough resources through mutual trade deals with the puppet states I have created over the past few decades allowing me to sustain my growth and maintain my place as a world though, I'll admit, without the E.A.T.S.P. Japan would crumble)
 * Soviet D: We thank the US and Japan for agreeing to the START Program. We also apologize for forgetting that Japan is a superpower.
 * The United States continues to expand its space programs and nuclear weapons technology program. The people working on the nuclear missile program develop a plan to put missiles into orbit, from which point they can arbitrarily destroy enemies at will before they see them coming. After running it by President Kennedy, he agrees to do it. By 1963, the United States will have nuclear missiles orbiting the Earth, ready to fire at will. The NASEA also comes up with the idea of a space station. America asks Japan if it would be interested in a joint effort to build a space station in orbit around the Earth. (Think of it as the ISS, but really the American-Japanese Station.) Meanwhile Barry Goldwater announces his plans to run for President. Pundits expect a very tight race. A new supercomputer is built by the IBM Company, and it is a bit smaller than existing supercomputers. IBM announces plans to make computers so small, people can use them at home for personal usage. They call these "personalized computers" or PCs for short. The first PC is planned for 1968.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan accepts the American offer with the hopes of beating the Soviets in the space race. Japan proposes a formal American-Japanese Alliance to finalize and make official the friendship between the the superpowers and isolate the communist block and avoid a large war. Japan shares its plans for war with the Soviets should a war break out - something Japan hopes doesn't happen. Three computers are given to the U.S.A. as a gift of friendship.
 * The United States accepts everything and asks if Japan would be ready to join into one bloc with the US and GO-COLD. (Essentially, the E.A.T.S.P. would be come an important regional part of the GO-COLD, or at least a total ally of the GO-COLD.)
 * Japan D: While thankful for the offer, Japan believes that a third independent bloc is necessary to keep the world balanced and since there are high tensions between Japan and several of the European allies of the USA (for plain to see reasons, since Japan in less then 30 years Japan has led the collapse of the European Empires in East Asia - something I'm quite proud of XD) but a close alliance between Japan, its allies and the USA and allies can be assured along with great cooperation between both blocs.
 * Japan: The military begins going through reforms to improve performance and the ability to react in times of conflict, the structure and chain of command are decentralized though the high command still retains absolute authority in the name of the Emperor. All units are granted the ability to act according to their judgment in war times as long as they respect the ideals and authority of the command, Diet and the Emperor to improve efficiency. The navy continues going through reformation and upgrades with the missile finally installed as a weapon of the navy. The problem with accuracy has finally been fixed. Japan sends a man into space for the first time merely weeks after the Soviets and Japan have finally reached space. The papers have a field day over the event and Sato Mayagi the astronaut is declared a national hero. The Diet wishes to speed up the space program and get a man on the moon by 1963 independent if the Soviets or Americans get there first, with the intention laying the flag of the rising sun on the moon. Research into missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads begins and silos are built within the empire of Japan. A new anti-tank launcher is made and testing begins, bullpup research is completed and a prototype gun is made (it is similar to the OTL British L64/65 but with a longer and curved ammunition box, and a larger aim) and initial testing begins. Widespread export of the Arisawa 50 has begun to groups in Africa and to The fellow members of the E.A.T.S.P. as part of the general improvements of the armed forces the NTO 52 (tank) is improved with a new barrel, turret mechanism and ammunition to improve over the already efficient tank. While still lighter and with a bit less armor then the American or Soviet tanks, they are far quicker, mobile and pack an equal if not stronger punch then their counterparts. Also, the military begins making designs to replace the old chopper with newer ones with specialized roles, one for transport of troops and supplies, another to carry large payloads of vehicles and another for assault. Research into all current projects are continued and more projects into experimental technology are began. The plans for a possible war with the U.S.S.R. are finalized called " Operation Blood Tides". Due to the largely defensive nature of the plans, with the initial stages being the securing of the Russian eastern coastline and neutralizing all their capabilities to use either aerial or naval units in the Far East. This would be followed by a land campaign to secure outer Manchuria and Mongolia to protect the economically critical Empire of Manchuria from as much harm as possible. This would be accompanied by mass mobilization of Japan and its allies to force the Soviets into a stalemate and a cease fire. The Japanese high command, unlike 20 years ago, is fully aware that an all-out war with the Soviets and attempting to make push through Siberia would be suicide. All the defences would be supported constantly by artillery and air forces, nowhere in the plans are nuclear weapons mentioned because the high command considers the usage of nuclear weapons now to be a defence only and as a last resort or once Japan has received a nuclear attack. The statistics of an all-out war with the Russians are gruesome and too high for the liking of the high command but in comparison to the numbers made for an assault pushing to the Urals are far higher. Exploration of Manchuria begins to find out whether or not the oil reserves there are worth the investment. The exploration will take at least a year to determine the results but already the stock market in Tokyo is anxious to start buying stockholds for Manchu-Japanese Oil Inc. On a social level, Japanese people live happily in the open democratic society that has been forming over the past 100 years and in a public speech Yamamoto says the following "today we live in the country our compatriots envisioned in 1868 with the finalization of the Meiji Restoration, here we stand - successfully free from Colonization, a world power, a massive economy, allies across East Asia, and growing friendship with the Giant across the Pacific. This was the will of the people in 1868 and it is the will of the people to this day. Hail the Emporor and a free and proud Nippon." When he finalizes his speech the crowd shouts in applause and across the country the growing number of TV users watch the speech. Crackdown against crime continues and the influence of Yakuza groups are greatly curtailed but in Japanese China (the coastal cities Japan annexed after the war with former China) crime is at its climax with a series of gang wars between the traditional Chinese mafia and the growing number of Yakuza moving away mainland Japan is brewing. The gun prohibition hasn't been enforced yet in the Imperial territories outside the Prefectures yet so many violent street fights have erupted, the government begins plans to create a special division of the police force to deal with these and similar problems instead of relying on the army to do so. A cultural revival also begins but it is moderate since many western customs have been accepted and embraced by Japan. Japan proposes that the E.A.T.S.P. be restructured into the Community of East Asia (C.E.A.). The bio program is integrated into the national medical program completing the transfer from a military program to a civilian one, and a Bio-enginerring division is created. Japan at the moment has the most advanced biological program in the world (and let's face it, it's true. I've been researching bio-technology since the Sino-Japanese war.) Japan decides it's time to force its hand in Malaysia. It pushes the group it's been backing for years to declare outright independence and it supplies it with all the firepower necessary to complete this action. On the international Stage, Japan demands Great Britain accept Malay independence and withdraw from East Asia as a whole including Hong Kong which will be ceded to the Nanjing Regime since it's one of the Successer states of the ROC. (Need two RNG's since there is no player for the U.K.)
 * RNGs: Malaysian Independence is a yes. Hong Kong is a no.
 * OK - I'll see what I do about Hong Kong in the future. That colonial territory is a complete thorn in my side XD. Nkbeeching
 * I really want to see where this game goes and later on let's see if it's possible to continue the game beyond 2012-13. Nkbeeching

1960

 * Korea: Korea continues to research experimental technologies, focusing on high altitude flight. MiGs begin to be produced in Korean factories, and a new version of the R-22 tank comes out for the army as well. The Korean Marine Corps is also formed, along with the Korean Paratroop Corps.
 * Japan D: Japan proposes the restructuring of the E.A.T.S.P. into the Community of East Asia. Japan also requests Siam join the U.N.
 * Italy: The Italians declare war on Turkey and begin an invasion of Turkey. This includes 400,000 troops, 400 tanks 900 aircraft 3,000 artillery guns
 * Implausogasmismasm.
 * WTF? I declared war on Turkey to help Iraq.
 * Numbers?
 * Argentina: continues to research civilian and military programs. Everywhere throughout the nation television, cars and other devices continue to grow in number. The aerial crane began to be used in greater numbers in the industry. Many new parties are created while the elections are prepared. Among them is the Liberal Party, the Conservative Party and the Nationalist Party - which is the current ruling party's new name. Despite having done bad things, many persons continue to see it as the better government - as the nation's industry, economy and standard of life has been greatly improved. The rocket technology continues to be researched.
 * Don't forget the Radical Party. They were a party founded before the 1920's.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai continues writing the second issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2 and will be released mid year. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Japan D: Japan proposes the restructuring of the E.A.T.S.P. into the Community of East Asia. Japan also requests Siam join the U.N.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Lursakdi Sampatisiri agrees with the restructuring E.A.T.S.P. into Communist of East Asia. She declines joining the UN, as the Thais want to stay out of that organisation.
 * Japanese D: The government will accept the Siamese Reservation and will speak for Siamese interests in the United Nations.
 * Listen, you can't continue staying out of the UN much longer. Other than Africa, you're the only nation not in it. You'll be downcast by the entire globe, and international protection will not be awarded to you.
 * I'm fine on my own, thanks. I really don't want to join the UN at all.
 * Exactly. You're letting your own personal views get in the way of effectively playing your nation plausibly. Which is not very plausible.
 * I know. Okay, how about Siam joins the UN in 2002, similar to how Switzerland join the UN in 2002 OTL.
 * Japan: Exploration continues and the results are proving to be quite promising; the exploration will be over by next year and construction of facilities will be able to start immediately afterwards. The energy sector of the stock market is scrambling for a shot at the shares, Japan makes sure that only Asians within the E.A.T.S.P. are able to purchase the shares, and the nation remains ever so wary of the northern border. Troops are put through training to keep them in fit condition for war. Japanese rush into the newly independent Malaysia where they work out a deal with the new state: Malaysia will become a federative Kingdom and will receive aid from Japan to build up its economy and armed forces but under the conditions that the territories that Britain incorporated into the colony from Siam be returned to Siam and that Singapore become an autonomous region within the kingdom under Japanese protection, allowing the Empire to build a naval base on the very important city giving it access to all of East Asia now. Malaysia is granted entry to the E.A.T.S.P. as a junior member and Burma is officially accepted as well. Research into all previous projects continues and the expansion of experimental research testing continues. The space project advances nicely and plans to have a man land on the moon by early 1963 are confirmed. Research into missiles capable of storing nuclear warheads continues and reaches the final stages of research, while conventional missiles are being produced in decent quantity. While many are made for naval warfare a large amount goes to the army which has missile launchers being built. The construction of Japan's first destroyers begins starting the final phases of the Japanese naval reconstruction. Meanwhile, research into a nuclear sub begins. Construction of the nuclear power plants continue. The rail lines are given updates and most are becoming electric lines now. The computer is officially opened to the public but it is too expensive and complicated for common use and only major corporations are using the computer for data collection. Research into more efficient comps continue. TV users continue to grow. A paratroops brigade is created as a division of the naval air forces and training begins. The Imperial air ways are expanded to international flights with Australia, Europe and parts of South America. The military keeps wary of the northern threat and thousands of what if scenarios are created with all ending in either Russian or Japanese defeat but always with massive bloodshed and high levels of radiation. The military grows more and more fearful of war in the east and they realize that something will need to be done to conserve the status quo or enforce Japanese dominance in the east, and looks to the nuclear missile project as a good choice, a test in the future to make the Russians think twice about war in the east and focus on the west or Central Asia only. The prototype bullpup rifle tested last year is a massive success and it is named the Arisawa Type 8. With a slight number of modifications the rifle enters production but in limited numbers now and is only distributed to the elite troops within the army and navy while the Arisawa 50 remains the main rifle of the Japanese armed forces for now. Industrial upgrades begin once again throughout the E.A.T.S.P. and Japan provides the supplies and equipment needed to bring up industrial standards in its allies - Korea included. It becomes public that Japan keeps four nuclear weapons in Manchuria in case of worst possible scenarios. The medical project continues and all advances made are documented.
 * North Republic: Receives the Mirage IV's. Project Baldr continues. We submit a UN Resolution on Smallpox. The Nuuk Institute of Polar Sciences (NIPS) is created. All peoples of the world have a right to study there. Regular flights between Nuuk and Reykjavik are started. We would ask Japan for a copy of their computer research for civilian use at the I.I.T. We begin researching the effect of CO2 and other gases on the atmosphere, due to a slight shrink in ice being noted. (What happened to the Faroe Islands post WW-II?)
 * ​Jap D: Japan will be willing to sell a computer to the North Republic for the right price.
 * They became French territory.
 * The United States continues its plans and shmans for things. Three more satellites launched, one in orbit around the moon, and the two others around the Earth. America launches another man to orbit the moon and lands a probe on the moon. Another aircraft carrier is built. A new color TV is built. The first nuclear power plant is built outside Newport News, Virginia. America builds three new nuclear missile launch facilities in Seattle, and another on Newfoundland, and the last outside Guaymas. Nuclear missiles are stored in West Germany as well as France and England.
 * um ... I know I'm not a mod but I really think we should just ban Warman55. No offence man, he has switched countries on several occasions and in general hasn't put up with any situation or limits mainly in troop numbers. Again, I'm not a mod but it's just a suggestion. Nkbeeching 
 * I kinda have to agree with that.-Pita

1960.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to amp up their military, as well as their nuclear program. Korea also would like for the E.A.T.S.P. to remain the E.A.T.S.P., perhaps dropping the "east" to become more Asian-centric, with the addition of India.
 * The United States continues its military buildup, as well as research into the space, computer and nuclear technology programs. Election happens. Democrats: JFK and Stuart Symington. Republicans; Richard M. Nixon and Dwight D. Eishenhower. Progressives: Nelson A. Rockefeller and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. Independents: Barry M. Goldwater and Alben W. Barkley. The election is forced into the House. The president will be announced in January. Meanwhile, nuclear weapons are placed in the Philippines in the case of a Russian or Japanese attack.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese request that the nukes be removed from the Philippines since they are a direct threat to Japan and its allies. And Japan has been extremely transparent with its policies to the USA going as far as to share delicate information and technology to improve relations.Should the Nukes remain. Relations between the USA and Japan will cool down quickly, and tensions will rise.
 * Yay! Cuban Missile Crisis parallel: the Phillippine Missile Crisis. Sounds cool. The United States says that they are very far range, and cannot land before they go their designated distance, which goes far beyond Japan, China, Manchuria, etc etc. They are for attacking Novosibirsk and stuff.
 * Global Events: The Libyan Republic invades Tunisia. Gamal Abdel Nasser dies. Moammar Al-Gaddafi replaces him as the Chancellor of the United Arab Republic. British North Ireland begins to ask for independence. Tibet asks to join the E.A.T.S.P. The last of British colonies is released from colonial control. Congo receives independence as the Zaire Federal Union. Scrawland Scribblescratch supports banning Warman555 again, for a longer period of time than last time.
 * Japan:The placing of nukes so close to Japan by a considered friend sends shockwaves throughout Japanese society and mass protests occur outside the American Embassy in Tokyo. The government also condemns the considered American treachery of a previous good relationship, and considers revoking its previous treaties with the States. Tibet receives Japan's blessing to join the E.A.T.S.P. but it will need to be discussed with the rest of the alliance as will Malaysia and Burma's but Japan thinks all three states will be accepted. Japan creates a more unified trade and political organization within the alliance with Indonesia, Indochina and Manchuria forming the Comunity of East Asia, Korea and Siam are welcome to join, the E.A.T.S.P. will remain the base of the alliance and all treaties but the C.E.A. will become the core of all economic treaties and a true free trade zone with free movement of population between states for work or travel, and a more concentrated sense of unity for East Asia, with all members on an equal standing (well Korea, Siam and Japan on an equal standing anyways since all the other states are Japanese puppets, though it is a great benefit for their economy and national security). The Distribution of the Arisawa Type 8 begins but it is planned to be renamed in the future. the expansion and modernization of the navy continues and the destroyers continue being built. in response to the direct threat now at their back door more nukes are placed in the trust of the navy and naval exercises in the Central Pacific are planned in the future if the U.S.A. refuses to settle the matter in a civil way, Japan still wants to remain allies and friends with the States but it refuses to be bullied by a nation it is equal with. The continuation of the Space program goes on, with the necessary plans for the launch to the moon being made. All other projects are continued and more research into experimental fields continues with progress being made in laser technology. The creation of nuclear missiles reaches final stages of the project and Japan does a test in the Northern Pacific. A missile carrying a nuclear warhead explodes in the middle of the water. It is televised for the world to see. Research into ICBM's is still uncompleted yet though with this missile being of Continental range only - but enough to prove Japanese capacities to the world. The explosion was one of a hydrogen bomb several times more destructive then the Bomb dropped on China ten years earlier, while the government receives criticism for its very provocative test. The Diet and Prime Minister Yamamoto express that the threat of nuclear weapons being used against Japan is an increasingly realistic scenario with the increase of U.S.S.R. and U.S.A. WMD's near Japanese territory, the only way to deter this is by demonstrating as clearly as possible that Japan will not be intimidated and only wants to secure the protection of itself and that of its allies. The exploration in Manchuria proves extrmely promising and the stocks for the company shoot Sky-high while the East Asian industrial stocks grow on an international scale thanks to the increase in possible earnings in the east asian industrial sector, mainly cars, firearms and manufactured goods. Japanese companies takes advantage of this to increase their presence on an international scale and a few stocks are bought off of western companies by wealthy Japanese looking to increase their earnings and possibility for the expansion of their companies, this is the start of the Japanese economic competition with the old western companies. There is an increase in agricultural production thanks to breakthroughs made in the bio-engineering and bio-chemical research being done by the medical project. The government builds the institute of medical and biological research in Tokyo where the entire research operations will be headed while the branches in Hokkiado, and Tonkin remain open and will be for the foreseeable future. Japan begins taking an increased interest in engineering and robotics and The Imperial Institute of Robotics and Engineering is founded in Tokyo as well and most research projects dealing with robotics and engineering are moved to the facility. Remember, research into robotics or electronics - not actual robots, OK?). The gang war forming on the continent is getting out of hand as it spills over into the Nanjing Regime and into North China, the Internal Security Police are created and they receive military-grade training to deal with the rising problem but the new police force wont be ready till next year so police are having a hard time dealing with the increasing violence on the mainland, many look in horror back in Mainland Japan as the Chinese mafia and the Yakuza tear each other apart and cause death amongst civilians. The fighting makes the American mafia era in the 20's and 30's look like house play. The military is amped up and training of troops to keep them activeAvARe_Phillippines_Nuclear_Missiles.png continues.
 * The United States says that they are very far range, and cannot land before they go their designated distance, which goes far beyond Japan, China, Manchuria, etc etc. They are for attacking Novosibirsk and stuff. (Basically, they only go X miles, and X miles is far away from Japan, Asia, and the E.A.T.S.P.)
 * As you can see here, the nuclear weapons can only land in a place with a red dot on it. Only nations targeted are: Russia/the Soviet Union, Persia/Iran, East Arabia, Australia, and America itself. We would neved do anything to purposefully harm such an important and friendly ally as Japan, a nation whom we cannot engage in regular war with.
 * Argentina: The first election in many decades occured and the Nationalist Party is elected with 65% of the voice since the party was responsible for the quick developpment of the country since the last decades. The military budget is slightly decrease but stays high due to the Chilean communist threat at our frontier. The navy also grows and is now the second biggest navy in America after America. The institution began to be slowly democratise. The first step is the industries who are slowly privatizing. Better relations are asked with the American bloc and the Japanese bloc. A trade deal is proposed to the USA and Japan. Brazil is offered to democratise itself to build a better friendship with the rest of Latin America. Latin American nations are now invited to join the Latin American Confederation peacefully to improve the life level across the region and strengthen our economy.
 * Cuba: Cuba accepts the Soviet requests to build nuclear weapons in Cuba. Areas around Cuba are quickly prepped for this. Meanwhile, rebuilding from the civil war continues. People deemed 'corrupt' (at this point in time, most of them really are corrupt) are put in labor camps. The industry spike results in the production of military equipment, among other things.
