Axis vs Allies Resurrection (Map Game)

Axis vs Allies Resurrection is the something or other and latest installment is the latest AvA game to date!!!

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

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

Rules

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

Mod Rules

Vassal Rules

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

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

Organization Rules

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

Map Rules

 * Each map must be labelled "AvARs X.Y.png" where X is the year and Y is only used in the half turn.
 * Any file type except .png is not accepted.
 * Only exception to the First rule is the starting map XD.

 * Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak became the Second President of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of Socialism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social and cultural reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented, although the premier maintained state interventionism in economy. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners which led to major industrial growth. Moreover, the Turkish textile industry soon rose to becoming the top one in Europe. Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Along with this, many major industries such as the armaments industry and the steel industry were nationalised, with the textile industry being the only industry not to become nationalised. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 5% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture and a law was passed which made all schools (private or federal) following the same syllabus. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 600,000 men due to conscription, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications established near the border with the USSR are dismantled. The Zafer Project, however, continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on the complete defence of Turkish coastline and the Bosporus Straits in particular. The naval headquarters was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy and the aerial forces. This leads to the naval forces expanding to 52 ships and a total of 30,000 marines. The air force stood at 670 aircraft, mainly consisting of fighters, bombers and transport units. With both French and Soviet technology at hand, Turkey develops its very own Atlay II Tank based off the French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The infantry itself was armed with German rifles where were now produced by the arms industry on regular bases. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port and by now it served as a great commercial port.. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 17.5 million due to the success of Fevzis agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]. Athens was finally captured, and victory in the war was secured. In the aftermath of the conquest of Athens, the young and excited Turkish troops committed atrocities againts the local population for 3 days, raping the women and destroying a part of the city. However, later on ordered was restored. The people of Greece were addressed that they were equal members of the Republic of Turkey and would be treated equally and fairly. However, the Turks first had major Greek Nationalists executed before moving onto Greek General Alexandros Papagos, Former Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas, Interim Greek Prime Minister 'Alexandros Kolyzis ,      Greek King George II and Greek Prince Paul I. '  They were all executed without trial and a new puppet regime was established in Greece after the Treaty of Athens was signed with the puppet regime. Back at home, the nation had reached war fever and support for President Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak reached its peak.'   


 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * Poland: Kasprzak and the Democrats have won the Civil War, thanks to the increased Soviet presence in Eastern Poland. Poplawski is hanged publicly in Brest-Litovsk, and Poland declares war on Germany. We ask for peace with France, and we also want peace and an alliance with the USSR, being strongly influenced by them. We mainly focus on defending against Germany and securing Danzig for Polish control. The military and infrastructure are improved, as they have been hurt by the civil war. The Polish Communist Party is formed, becoming one of four recognized parties in Poland (Democratic, Communist, Peace, and Radical). All Nationalist militants are put on trial, many being executed.
 * German Dip: Germany demands that the Poles withdraw from any offences and lay down their arms. The war in Eastern Europe is over.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Niceto Alcalá-Zamora saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. Another offensive atempt is made into Portugal. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Iran: We offer the Spanish republic and Japan a trade agreement. The tension worldwide bring benefit as oil is in high demand. Tehran and the major cities are mostly modernized and the citizens of those cities start to appreciate the Western style of life with many investors having build shops, cinema, and theaters. The states buy several thousands agricultural machines and give them to the farmers to help them increase production. A national highway starts to be built in prediction of the future. The religious institution are firmly under government control. (By the way, Iran is not anywhere in the tier page).
 * Spanish Diplomacy: Spain agrees to trade coal and other minerals for Iran oil.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the re-introduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * Norway: We continue to be neutral. The KjM 22 has gone into limited service. The TaG 34 has now replaced all tanks of its caliber in our army, and research begins on installing an 88mm gun.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Belgium: As we form out for Netherlands troops that they would plan to engage Antwerpen and Limburg, our troops would be really set to their defense. Antwerpen and Limburg towns will gone into halt. We surley to prepare for defence charge and maintain the difference for military. Brussels will start to modernize the cities. We surrender to Netherlands and occupy us as we wait to negotiate the peace with Germany to survive as Wallonia.
 * Mandatory Palestine: Large immigration of European Jews to the holy land continues. The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Nationalist movements begin to attract more and more attention with many political parties supporting these movements, recently the actions of the British administration have been hit with accusations of corruption and ineffectiveness further increasing the size nationalist movements. The New Palestine Party (NPP) wins the 1944 elections forming a coalition with Mapai (another Palestinian party) with this the government seeks to decide on independence with a referendum secluded for 1945 to decide the issue. We build up our military by 5,000 bringing our total army size up to 60,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. (Military/Economic)
 * Transjordan: Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many British expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 7,000 (military/Economic)
 * German Reich: With the war taking one turn after another for the Worse, Berlin decides its time to cut its losses in the East and in secret offers The Soviets a peace agreement leaving Poland to Soviet takeover aslong as German territorial integrity is respected, and Germany promises to pay reparations to the Baltic States, One request, however, is made that Soviet forces help Germany crush the treacherous Polish and French in return for a 20 year nonaggression pact in Eastern Europe. '''German forces begin abandoning the Eastern Front to crush the Polish traitors and reserves are slowly built up to launch a counter offensive in an attempt to liberate the Rhineland from French occupation. Berlin states that it is open to negotiations with Paris but will not surrender an inch of German soil. industrial production in the Eastern parts of Germany slowly increase, and with a greater urgency German efforts to develop a nuclear weapon begin to expand greatly. The new STG 44 is developed as the first assault rifle in history. while in a desperate situation Berlin believes that it can turn the tides in the war should the soviets go for the peace offer. Feelers are also sent to the U.S.A. to see if the Americans can broker a white peace between France and Germany without territorial lose. Out of anger for Poland's betrayal as the German troops start retreating the employ a policy of shoot on sight any Polish troops or armed civilians without taking prisoners as the long march back to Germany and to the defence of Danzig begins. The German high command develops plan Teuton a planned defence line along the Vistula and other major rivers in eastern Germany and Western Poland while peace feelers are sent out to the soviets ,and a second plan code named Operation Frederick is developed to move as many troops as possible West to liberate the Rhineland while leaving the east defendable. As many as 3,000,000 troops are planned to be moved west along with the buk of the German armor and air force to break the French offence, once a peace deal with the soviets is established. While the German people stand behind their government in this final stand to defend German independence and national pride, people have grown tired of the authoritarian and destructive nature of Prussian militarism, The Junta realizing that it needs to do something restores power to the Reichstag which agrees to continue the war effort as long as once the war is over the Junta will step down.  German U-boats and cruisers engage French ships in the North Sea in alignment with Dutch vessels in the hope of breaking French naval strength and breaking France's will to fight. With the soviets accepting peace German troops start shifting west in large numbers to confront the French and expel them from German soil. a small force of about 600,000 troops are left in Western Poland to hold down the areas and expel Polish insurgents. Large numbers of bombers and jets begin campaigning in the air of Western Germany and eastern France to gain air superiority. The German forces engage French troops along the Rhine with the first offence aimed at liberating the all important Ruhr Valley.'''
 * ​Brazil Secret Dip: We understand the German plight and along with our regular shipments we will increase resource and equipment shipments on a few conditions, Germany will provide her expertise in the Brazilio-Japanese nuclear research, provide specifications on her new Jet aircraft. We will also escort the German flotilla harbored in Santos back to German waters.
 * German secret Dip: In Berlin the government agrees to Brazil's terms and thanks Rio for their sympathy in Germany's darkest hours.
 * Brazil has a nuclear program? Seems kinda ridiculous to me.
 * There was some OTL research done in 1938 in Sao Paulo that I picked up. Can't say I'm anywhere close to developing a weapon or power independently. Hence co-operation to figure out where other nations are. So far it's really nuclear theory and a small heavy water plant. Nothing serious. I most certainly wont be the first nation with the bomb if that's what you're wondering. -Feud
 * Netherlands: We open a second front against Belgium, an amphibian front. 50.000 troops are used to invade the Belgian coast. (THIS MEANS two ALGOS FOR NETHERLANDS-BELGIUM). Peace talks are kept in mind and we continue the negotiations, but also continue the offensive to enforce our own terms.
 * I recommend changing troop numbers, that would be quite a major force ... that's like Mini D-Day. I say about half that would do. -Feud
 * Brazil: Brazil under Ramos begins to campaign for new elections. With the term about up in 1945 and a new election being needed, Ramos secures a significant size of the Communist populace with naming prominent Communist Dominic Jauo as his vice presidential candidate. This Communist, however, only wishes a few more prominent Communist policies and seeks to maintain the federal system of Brazil with no changes which leads to a growing popularity. Ramos runs on the platform of neutrality while his competitor - a no-name politician - names himself as competitor running on a more interventionist and militaristic ticket. The Nation itself greatly maintains its neutrality but begins to push for the end of the French war with the Germans citing a greater and looming "Soviet Threat" in Eastern Europe. The Brazilian military begins the development of various escort carriers holding about 40-50 Aircraft and plans to field about six of these smaller carriers and saving fleet carriers for more prominent operations. The Navy maintains a sub fleet now of about 40 submarines. The rest of the fleet also continues to grow and an organized battle doctrine for the fleet is developed avoiding japans "Decisive battle doctrine" and focusing on efficient and organized strikes against numerically superior foes focused mostly on European navies and on the off chance the American navy becomes an enemy. The Brazilian air force continues to develop as well with more paratrooper planes being built. The Training of the Airborne Rangers continues as they make a daring training jump into the Amazons to test their mettle. This is resoundingly successfully and the Airborne make a name for themselves as a potential contended for Brazil's most clandestine service. However, this is contended almost immediately by the development of the Naval Special Warfare Program which begins pulling elite men from nearly all branches into the secretive and well equipped "Espadas". This force is trained in nearly all potential aspects of warfare and they are to be developed specialists in nearly every military combat field if possible. The Brazilian Army using open fields and hills in southern Brazil undergoes heavy training missions practicing wargames with their own men in order to train. A Prominent Brazilian General, Josef Roussef is the developer of Brazil's new "Shock Strike" doctrine which uses greater maneuverability and combined arms to push through enemy lines and fight. At a major disadvantage he beats two other competing generals in the wargames and earns recognition from Nereu Ramos for this. The Brazilian fleet Carrier continues construction and is to be finished in a few months. The Brazilian nuclear research continues with major developments occuring in the power field but not the bomb field. However, the refining process begins with the possibility of a bomb in 1948-1950 being a possibility. The Brazilian population reaches about 45.6 million with the vast living quality increase contributing to a new boom in children. Under the agreement with the Germans, a Brazilian Fleet consisting of the Fleet Carrier San Salvaçao and the battleship Rio Grande Do Sul accompanied by 15 destroyers, 7 Frigates, 5 Cruisers 2 Heavy Cruisers, and 5 underwater Submarine Escorts escorts the German fleet to German waters claiming Neutrality the whole way flying a diplomatic flag the whole way and speaking with French captains on this situation. We request that France not interfere in the escort mission as it revolves around an economic deal with the Germans and we have no wish to fight the French.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela continues to develop with a push in the oil refining industry making major gains, other pushes such as moderate commodities are produced as well and Venezuela begins to advance minorly in industry. The Rubber industry begins to take off thanks to Brazilian investment as well. The Navy continues to development and Argentina is thanked for the building of a light carrier for them. Venezuala offers to let Brazil establish another base on the border of Venezuela and Colombia to make up for another supply point up into Guatemala. The Government prepares for elections as well.
 * Guyanan Confederation: Brazilian settlers continue to settle within Guyana this time more civilians than military families. The many Brazilians have been coming for work in the Bauxite and manganese mining and in some cases gold mining. The Brazilian population continues to grow significantly with the possibility of becoming the majority in less than ten years time. The development of cities increases as private investment from Brazilian companies looks to expand a coastal city into a major port city along the coast of Brazil. The Parliament of Guyana elects nearly 25% Brazilians into the Parliament. More people assimilate and the population grows to about 500,000
 * Australia: Australia continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved.
 * Switzerland: Continues the same course of action. The military is reduced by another 15,000 troops.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi Economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues.With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The Military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations.
 * United Kingdom: The Communist forces storm London this year. Parliament is sacked and the royal family flees to Canada. By May, the gunshots stop. The fighting is over. The Communists win the war. The United Kingdom is renamed to People's Union of Britain. For the first time in centuries, Westminster sits vacant. There is no king, no queen. Only the people of Britain. Almost immediately, reforms begin to keep the empire intact. They realize that forcing the people of every colony to adopt Communism would be difficult. They consider letting some of the colonies go. The economy improves. The French invasion of Germany is condemned. France is given an ultimatum: leave the Rhineland or be faced with war.
 * Guatemala requests to purchase British Honduras.
 * South Africa: South Africa forces in south Angola have all but destroyed the Portuguese troops in the colony, and consolidated most of the region under South African control. The ANC has prepared the ground for government expansion into Angola, gaining the loyalty of the Angolan chieftains and their tribes, and negotiating the construction of public infrastructure in Angola. The development of rocket technology proceeds nicely, with several prototypes developed by the military for testing. Short-range rockets have since been tested in the western regions of South Africa, with load capacity and accuracy being the primary areas the military is seeking to refine. The Perdebye Mark I rocket is serving as the current design for the test rockets of the military. Plans to miniaturize the technology is underway. The SANEC continues with its nuclear development research, expanding the number of heavy water reactors in construction in South Africa from one to five to assist in the research progress. The South African air force is expanded to include new Valk I fighter-bombers, as well as newly redesigned Aasvoël II fighters, which boast higher flight ceilings, greater speeds, and superior fuel reserves. 150 Valk I's and 300 Aasvoël II's are currently under production throughout the nation. With the development of rocketry, some South African scientists begin exploring the possibility of placing them on aircraft. Education of the Black African population of that country has greatly increased the economic output of South Africa. With a larger number of qualified men and women entering into the workforce, South Africa is now able to expand industries such as automotive, aerospace, and hydroelectric industries into parts of the nation once too poor and under-educated to take full advantage of these modern industries. With the net profit of many companies expanding to lines once considered impossible within extra manpower, many white businessmen begin to agree with ANC members that allowing blacks into the economy with greater independence may indeed prove beneficial to the nation, and more importantly, their bottom-lines. Progression on the nation's aircraft carriers continue with great progress, especially with the information of the Brazilians' power projection abilities fully realized now. With the Communist revolution in Great Britain, Prime Minister Smuts of South Africa begins travelling throughout British Africa, and making the case to his fellow Commonwealth leaders that Communism is a threat to freedom and democracy. First on his list of leaders is Prime Minister Godfrey Huggins of Southern Rhodesia, who is seeking to establish a federated state within the former British Empire. South Africans state that the current Communist government in Great Britain is illegitimate, and that South Africa does not recognize the government occupying London, and henceforth withdraws from the British aegis until the restoration of the monarchy. Taking advantage of its relationship with Great Britain, several South African businessmen begin offer to host hundreds of politicians, military officers, and businessmen from Britain as Communists take over the country. Though South Africa maintains military parity with Brazil, many South African citizens fear that Brazil may have wide ambitions, which may include Portuguese Africa as a potential target.
 * I highly doubt your Parity with me, also too early for rockets for a nation that lacks the expertise. Try again in a few years. Also you have about 11 million total people dont expect any power projection outside of africa anytime soon -Feud
 * ​South-West Africa: As the power of the native population in South-West Africa continues to grow, many believe that the name of the nation is a throwback of the colonial era, and formally request the changing of the nation's name from South-West Africa to Namibia. The Parliament of South Africa states that it will review the request and provide a response in the following months. Expansion of the industries of South-West Africa continues, with the development of the nation's military industries, taking advantage of the desert location and the relative security it provides. Economic expansion slows down for the time being, stabilizing to a flat 2.1% growth of the economy annually. as the population of South-West Africa begins to slow.
 * Angola: The South Africans establish a regional government for Angola in the city of Namibe, where the First Minister of Angola will conduct his business in the new territory of South Africa. The first steps of the new government are to establish a military force in union with the SADF, importing military equipment and technology for the armed forces. All schools, hospitals, and public facilities are transferred from the control of the SADF to the new Angolan government, and a census immediately taken to assist the government in establishing its planned budget for the year. A total of 2,301,455 inhabitants in south Angola with a current GDP per capita of $417. South African businessmen begin moving into the area in preparation for planned investment into Angola.
 * Argentina: The government is concerned with recent events in the UK, due to the proximity of the Falkland Islands. Three of the five tank landing ships are completed for the Brazilians, and the Venezuelan Aircraft Carrier is 25% complete. A tank landing ship is laid down for the Uruguayan Navy. Nuclear research continues as does work on a helicopter. Plans for a submarine are almost finished. Another dozen test flights of the jet fighter are completed. Three are failures with fuel flooding the engine and smothering it. The aircraft is taken back in for repairs and to fix a leaking fuel pump. On the ground, ejection systems are completed and are successful as are the new weapon systems. Three 20mm cannon are mounted, and racks for up to 5 slots are onboard. It can carry an assortment of rockets, bombs, and fuel tanks. The bomber plan is underway with modifications to a passenger aircraft, adding gun pods, stronger engines, as well as a bomb bay, and other electronics and avionics. Work on a helicopter is turned over to private hands to prevent the government from over extending itself. Another 24 fighter planes are manufactured for Uruguay. Due to the coup in the UK, the Argentinean government bans Communist parties. Most Communists join the Socialist Party which begins to be heavily monitored. (Mil/Eco Turn)
 * Uruguay: Our Navy receives two destroyers for our Navy. Work begins connecting our transportation system with Argentina's and Brazil's. The economy begins to integrate into Argentina's as well, and the economy begins to recover from the Great Depression. Public spending increases as revenue from lumber and fish comes into the nation. The Uruguayan Congress affirms trade, defense, and political treaties with Argentina. Communists are monitored due to the situation in the UK, but are otherwise left alone. (Mil/Inf Turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. When the offensive against Poland is over, the Soviet government plans to take the fight against Finland next, in order to bring the Eastern Front to a total close.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * Polish Diplomacy: Poland asks the USSR to look at our proposal in the Treaty of Lublin. We think that it will suit you, while retaining our independence. We definitely are now influenced by you, and we will become Communist, but we would like to retain sovereignty.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Guatemala continues to fortify its border with Mexico, while the military is upgraded and modernized. Specially trained Guatemalan units begin to cross the border secretly, and set about fomenting unrest in Chiapas and the Yucatan. They also begin to arm disgruntled peasants and encourage them to organize into soviets to facilitate resistance. Many accept, and a guerrilla movement begins to form. The economy improves, and industrialization and agricultural diversification continue. Mosquitia and El Salvador do the same. The government lauds the coup in the UK, and asks to purchase Belize.
 * The United States maintains its position of neutrality in the war but remains concerned about the situation in Britain. The government officially invites the British government-in exile (ie royals and whatever is left of the government) refugee status in America and the country goes on alert in case Canada goes red. There is massive military build up and the Manhattan Project is accelerated in the likely event that the United States might go to war. It is raised to great priority in the armed forces and great progress is made due to concern about the rapid growth of Communism. President Wallace announces his plans to run for a second term and the Republicans nominate New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Former President Roosevelt publicly declares that Communism is a threat to the world and encourages America to support the war against Communism. As public sentiment moves toward the German side, the government is hard pressed to consider their options, so America asks France to come to the table with Germany and discuss the possibility of achieving status quo ante bellum and bring peace to the continent of Europe. The President states that Communism is the greatest threat to democracy and formally ends relations with the former nation of the United Kingdom. The American embassy to the former UK is closed and all American personnel are recalled home. Since America is now encouraging France to reach a peace with Germany, America cuts off aid to both sides of the war but discusses the potential of officially aiding Germany. However, we continue to encourage peace.
 * Canada basically we do the same things as before. More fighters, work on the destroyers, watch the rest of the world in general and the UK in particular with concern, and stay neutral. Really nothing else to say at the moment.

France pushes into Germany but is stalled.

'''Greece capitules. President controversy between two candidates?!'''

'''Portugal will fall next year to Spain. What will they do with their #4 draft pick?'''

'''USSR takes Poland. Poland will be demoted next year.'''

Netherlands pushes deeper into Belgium.

'''With the establishment of the People's Union of Britain, the British Empire begins to collapse around the world. In the Americas, the local government of Newfoundland refuses to accept the PUB and instead asks to join Canada. Guyana declares its independence as the Republic of Guyana and it asks to join the Venezuelan-Brazilian bloc. In Asia, the Raj declares independence and the Republic of India is formed. However, Muslims in the west and east immediately declare independence from India and Burma also declares independence from India. This leads to the start of the Indian Civil War. Egypt declares independence as well under King Farouk I. Mandatory Palestine also declares independence and Transjordan follows suit. Iraq also declares independence.'''

''' The following player territories may also declare independence: Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Also I think it would alright if Saudi Arabia went after Yemen and some of the other things in the region but take your time.'''

'''I'm gonna handle this story arc. Had this planned out. Plus, too early for things to revolt, yadda yadda.'''

'''Yes, you planned out the revolt of your massive territories which are large in number. '''

Does that sound so odd?

'''Hey guys I have 1000000000000000000000000 dollars that I won but now owe to someone. Don't worry, I'll get pay them back.'''

'''That's what I would do if I were capitalist. You're catching on.'''

GG guys, GG...
 * Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. This profit gained from expanding these industries led to a general mindset developed to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region and were quite well off on their own. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry upon which proved quite beneficial is maintaining Turkey self-sufficient whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established basically acted as a police to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and was directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as to serve as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control.  The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 20,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plan to construct a fleet carrier were on way although technological support from the USSR was required. However, the technological support that had already been provided was considered enough to bring about mass changes in the Turkish naval forces. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was disbanded and quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Russia and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as the German rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. With the Communist Revolution in Britain and the collapse of the United Kingdom, Turkey requested the British Royal Family that had fled to Canada for the purchase of Cyprus. Meanwhile, Iraq independence groups are funded albeit secretly.
 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * Ethiopia: Seeing the collapse of the British Empire we seize British Somaliland stating ethnic reasons. We add the province to the Somali region of Ethiopia and tell the people that you are finally free from the Europeans. We request peace from France in return for payments and economic privileges. We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * British Empire never collapsed. Also, you're going to need an algo.
 * French Dip: We agree to peace as long as we are given monetary gains to repay for the damages caused by the Ethiopians, as they had declared war on us.
 * Agreed
 * Guatemala continues to fortify its border with Mexico, while the military is upgraded and modernized. Specially trained Guatemalan units begin to cross the border secretly, and set about fomenting unrest in Chiapas and the Yucatan. They also begin to arm disgruntled peasants and encourage them to organize into soviets to facilitate resistance. Many accept, and a guerrilla movement begins to form. The economy improves, and industrialization and agricultural diversification continue. Mosquitia and El Salvador do the same. Guatemala again asks to buy British Honduras. It also requests trade agreements with the Dominican Republic and Cuba. (Mod Response for Cuba/Dominican)
 * British Dip: We are considering selling Honduras in the upcoming years. Please bear with us in this time of change.
 * Mexico: Infrastructure development begins, while military buildup also continues. Our forces begin a rapid crackdown on unrest along Chiapas and Yucatan, while one of the conspirators, unknown to the government of Mexico, asks for Guatemalan and Brazilian support. The coup is scheduled to start on December 12, 1944. However, in the months prior, a small special ops team is spotted entering the border during a crackdown operation, and most are eliminated, and 1 is captured and interrogated. However, no useful data is acquired, but we suspect this to be Guatemala, on account of his dialect. While he current leadership is enraged, the conspirators reschedule the coup to November, and on November 5th, 1944, the coup is started. While the capital quickly falls, the loyalists begin to open fire, and thus the Mexican Civil War begins, with the conspirators asking for help from Guatemala and Brazil.
 * Gentlemen? Feel free to dispose of the implausibilities in this turn.
 * Guatemala offers full support to the conspirators, including as many troops as they may need, weapons, and loans to raise troops.
 * The United States sends aid to the loyalists to ensure a friendly government across the border. Troops and weaponry are sent to help them as well as boats and all.
 * Brazil Dip: We do not condone the Coup by the rebel forces but will recognize them if they gain power. We respect a nations ability to self determine its government and will not interfere. Secret: An opportunist Brazilian general has some "Damages equipment scrapped" and in reality it is sent to the Coup forces in Mexico.
 * Argentina: We annex the Falklands from the British. Most of the British citizens move to South Africa and Canada. The military finishes orders for the Brazilian Navy, and the Venezuelan Aircraft Carrier is 70% complete. The government finishes infrastructure projects. The jet fighters are completed, and 4 are commissioned for the Air Force. Three bombers are finished. Work on a helicopter continues. Work on nuclear weapons continues, and without aid, the bomb will be developed by 1951 . The Army receives another 50 infantry tanks, and the Marines receive 20 light infantry tanks. Work continues on designing a submarine, and laying down is planned for 1946. (Eco/Inf turn)
 * Uruguay: The economy continues recovering. 50 light infantry tanks are transferred from the Argentinean Army to the Uruguayan Army. A tank landing ship is received for the Navy. (Eco/Inf turn)
 * You were never given access to the combined program yet, just reqeust it. -Feud
 * Changed. -Dae
 * Try later on the bomb as well, you lack the scientific expertise and technology required, there is a reason I co-opted with Japan and Germany. -Feud
 * German Reich: Berlin determined to liberate the Rhineland offers France 600,000,000 Papiermarks over a period of 20 years in exchange for their withdrawal from the Rhineland, and an end to hostilities. despite the offer German forces continue to amass for a second offence aimed at liberating the Rhineland. despite the exhaustion and hunger spreading throughout Germany nationalism a sense of national pride keeps the struggling Reich up. Industrialization of Silesia begins in earnest as the need to supply goods and machinery to a battered army and people grows. The Final offence known as Operation Freidrich Is launched in a final ditch effort to expel the French from the Rhineland to back the diplomatic front. Anti-Polish sentiment is at an all time high as most of the population blames the Poles for the loss of the war. Public lynchings in East Prussia, Silesia and other areas begin, and those suspected of supporting the Communists or Polish are rounded up by the military. Troops march Into Posen and West Prussia before the soviets can march in to take over and free the Germans living there. The Junta falls apart in a bloodless putsch lead by more moderate members of the high command amongst them one Erwin Rommel, and Marshall Gunderian lead the way for a new junta that decides to bring back the Reichstag as an official power in the Reich and formally agrees to help restore democracy to Germany in the post war in a private session of the Reichstag.  many of the old guard flee Germany amongst them Oskar von Hindenburg who asks Brazil for sanctuary. The new government decides to continue the previous regime's scientific programs realizing the potential of the nuclear weapon an rockets. The first V-1 rocket is developed and ready for testing, In a secret meeting with American ambassadors the new government requests that the U.S.A. help Germany rebuild in exchange Berlin will allow American influence in Germany to grow and exchange German technology developed during the war. The act of enabling is voided. Austria is formally recognized as a state of the Reich and not just a territory with an additional 20 seats being added to the Reichstag and Bundestag for them and another 50 seats being added in total to the Reichstag to help pave the way for a more equal Reich. more jet planes are built and development of more efficient tanks and ASPC's begin. storage of Reichmarks and gold begins to help fuel the planned reconstruction of the reich. With the Rhineland liberated after years of French abuse people are cheering but seeing the destruction and exploitation caused by the French in the Ruhr, Saar and the Rhineland in general a common phrase comes into use throughout Germany "Nie Wieder" (Never Again). The new government makes a lot of speeches in the Rhineland about standing together to see a brighter tomorrow, and to never again let another power determine the destiny of the German people, these words resonate strongly in the Rhineland. A large amount of troops are relocated to the French border to ensure that no other incursions occur. and Large scale conscription of civilians to serve as labourers to help rebuild the destroyed Rhineland begins, with a lot of soldiers being recommissioned ot serve in the work groups. The mass expulsion of Poles from Eastern Germany and the occupied Posen and West Prussia regions, German offences to wipe out the remnants of Polish resistance in German occupied areas begins so to secure the border region. While all Germans living outside the borders of the Reich are invited to move to Germany and are promised jobs, and homes. Those leaders of the old Junta who didn't flee the country are captured and imprisoned for trial at a later time under the charges of sparking a war Germany could't win ,and for treason by allowing the French to rape the Rhineland, the economic Heartland of Germany. A series of New laws are drafted to further the democratization of the Reich. Major efforts to further the development of German tech continue. Several industrialists in the Rhineland and Silesia see the peace as a way to start a new without the restrictions of the old regime, the so called Bundeswagen group is founded. Development of radar, and electronic technology continues particularly stealth tech.
 * French Dip: We agree to the monetary tribute to end the war between our two nations
 * Poland: We ask Germany to end its genocide of Poles and let all ethnic Poles return to Poland. In exchange, we will withdraw from Danzig.
 * German Dip: The German government refuses Polish terms and will only negotiate with the Soviets as Berlin no longer recognizes the Polish as a state.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: President Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak visits the German Reich, hoping that the relations between Germany and Turkey which had previously worsened under Germany's Anti Communist regime could possibly be repaired.
 * German Dip: The turkish president is welcomed and Berlin agrees to open up talks. The Reich expresses deep interest in improving German Turkish economic ties specially with a path into Iraq now open.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: The Turkish President admits his interest in improving economic ties between the German Reich and the Turkish Republic however, he strongly believes that the German Reich would've to respect Turkish neutrality and must refrain from pushing Turkey into any military pact as the previous German regime had attempted to do. The Turkish Premier moreever calls upon his German counterpart to respect the relation between USSR and Turkey and that any attempt by German to weaken these relations would result in a befitting response.
 * France: With the war drawing close to an end, the French army holds in the Ruhr and Rhineland abusing it to power their current war machine. Though peace had been met during the time they had been waiting for the terms to be hashed out and the official treaty to be signed. While the French military had been sitting and waiting, the Germans used this opportunity to launch an offensive to reclaim the lost industry in the Ruhr and Rhineland. The Germans are successful in pushing back the French our if major areas, though total ejection of the French of the Ruhr was predicted to take another 3 months. With the war officially ending with the terms affirmed between the French and German politics, those who served and saw combat are advised to head home and live the rest of their lives with their families. Meanwhile those who did not see combat are brought into the fore front of the military, along with the reserves moving into full active duty. The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, air craft, and naval vessels. With the reserves being planned to be raised. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. (Military/Economy turn)
 * Poland: We begin by saying that we have banned all nationalist, capitalist, and militarist parties. Only two parties remain: The Democratic Party, which is lead by Cyryl Kasprzak, and the Communist Party. The Democratic Party has more Marxist views, believing in complete control of the workers. The Communist Party is more Leninist, believing in the rule of intellectuals. The democrats are currently in power, and he appoints workers to many positions of power. We ask the USSR to retain our independence, as we have different cultures, ethnis groups, and languages, and sign the Treaty of Lublin. We would, however, like to enter their influence and have their help to kill all anti-Communists. We hope to be allies, along with any other socialist and Communist countries. We offer Wilno and surrounding land to the USSR (or Lithuania if that's what the USSR chooses). We also ask for help from France, Britain, and th USSR to help secure the border with Germany, as they are amidst a genocide, and we continue our struggles with the Germans. We ask Germany to deport all Polish nationals to Poland, rather than kill them, and we withdraw from Danzig.
 * German Dip: German forces begin expelling all Polish living within the Reich and occupied western Poland into the wartorn areas of Eastern and Central Poland.cases of summary executions are common.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic. We demand France to hand over rightly Chinese territories.
 * ​German Dip: Germany extends diplomatic support to China for the return of concessions which France and Britain hold at the present. The German embassy in Nanjing also offer China a trade agreement.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Phillip Ferdinand comes to power after a close vote. After Ferdinand talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Ferdinand also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Philipe Ferdinand saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. The last offensive takes place against Lisbon, hoping to topple the Fascist regime in the final battle. Meanwhile, income from the mining industry rises, and tech modernization continues. Spain asks United States if they could purchase American technology, to help modernize the nations technical level. The monarchist party also starts to gain followers, with almost 31% of the populations either registered or supporting the party. Spain also shows its relations to the UK government in exile, giving them moral support to stay strong for the people of the commonwealth. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Brazil: In the developing situation in Europe - particularly the Communist revolt in Britain - Brazilian marines tentatively move on British Guyana painlessly and peacefully ordering stabiliy and declaring it an protected territory for the time being. Brazil also moves on some of Britains other island possessions to restore some semblance of order. Brazil requests the United States occupy the Bahamas and protect it or designate it as a US territory. The list of occupied and protected territories are as follows, British Guyana, windward, leeward, and virgin islands, Jamaica and pretty much everything south of the Bahamas. Brazil develops a transitional government group to handle the future of these territories. The Brazilian government issues its own recognitions of full independence to all British Dominions Particularly South Africa which has shown grat rivalry with Brazil for no reason. We request South africa come to negotiation table to normalise foreign relations between Brazil and her South American partners and the State of South Africa. Brazilian military forces are put on a higher alert as the potential for rogue British ships to attack whoever whenever becomes a real threat. The Brazilian navy in particular is put on high alert as their escort fleet to Europe returns. The Patrol force is extended all the way across the Atlantic just north of Angola to cover shipping lanes. In particular the navy is able to make great progress in developing the shipping route protection forces. The Brazilian army and air force continues to develop now with more access to German technology particularly their more advanced jet engines. These jet engines as well as full design schematics for the ME 262 are put to practice and about ten prototype F-270 aircraft are put to the test with dog fighting, speed tests, and endurance tests being put on the aircraft. The various flaws recognized in the ME 262 were caught and fixed and the main issue still remains fuel consumption by the jet engines. The Engines are also considered for mounting on Brazil's long range bombers as a new model. The Brazilian military does a review putting its Army strength at about 350,000 soldiers in the army, 120,000 in the Air Force, and 250,000 for the navy/marine corps combined. This puts the military at a peacetime force of about 720,000 with the general ability to field the "Active reserve" of 480,000 and a "Resting Reserve" of another two million that could be deployed in a state of heavy war. The Brazilian navy launches its newest Fleet Carrier the San Salvaçao. The Brazilian industrial development continues with major gains being made as the real potential of catching up to the great industrial power Japan becoming a real possibility. This catch up is supposed to happen by 1946. The Brazilian nuclear research continues with German input and science managing to spur Brazilian research ahead . This facilitates the technology to begin the enrichment of Uranium which puts the Joint program ahead of many nations (except the US) by a good amount. Rocketry research also skyrockets thanks to friendly input from German scientists which facilitates the tests of Brazil's first rocket. This expertise is learned by Brazilian scientists to be put to use. Brazil officially request to purchase all of British territory south of Cuba (minus honduras) in order to protect order and prevent civil chaos within the western hemisphere. We also have already provided humanitarian support for any potential lacks of supplies to these territories. We also inform the British that these occupations will end if the British truly wish us to but we wish to see these territories transfered over to our control for sums of money etc etc. Brazil officially offers sanctuary to many of the old guard in Germany and offers to put them up in housing as well. With no response from the new Communist government in Britain and a payment to renounce these claims the Brazilians begin to excercize their sovereignty over these new territories.
 * Venezuela: Amazed by the issues in Great Britain of all places the Venezuelans support Brazil's protection and occupation of British territories and also endorse the Argentinian annexation of the Falklands. The Venezuelan oil industry continues to take off as do moderate commodities industry. A Brazilian automotive manufacturer sets up shop in Venezuela. The Venezuelan navy begins to develop a bit more as well and purchases carrier aircraft from Brazil for its future light carrier. The Veneuelan elections are set to take place. Economics between Venezuela and the rest of South America begin to integrate a bit more
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Confederation begins to develop a bit more becoming ever more intertwined with the Brazilian economy. Brazilian population continues to increase as Brazilian immigration promotes heavy urban growth. The coastal port project begins with the search for a suitable port being undergone. The Brazilian military within Guyana expands as the potential for rougue former british ships attacking the coast over supplies or anger over the British Guyana Seizure.
 * Canadian Diplomacy We offer the Republic of Brazil a deal: The UK Government in Exile will formally renounce our rights to the British Islands of the Caribbean for a loan of $75 million to help resettle the refugees from the UK and bases for the British military forces that fled their homeland.
 * Brazil Dip: This is acceptable (in WW2 era of money 75 million then would be rather exorbitant) We also request the same for Guyana.
 * Canadian Dip: Guyana as well. Thank you for shopping at the actual government of Great Britain/British Empire, have a nice day!
 * German Dip: Germany thanks Brazil for the aid it extended to Germany during it darkest hour and in return offers Brazil a gift in the form of statue showing a German and Brazilian shaking hands with the words bellow "Friends are always remembered", apart from that the new German Kanzler Josef Wirmer also travels to Brazil to discuss the possibilities of an alliance with Brazil as Germany begins looking for allies outside of Europe.
 * British Dip: We will consider.
 * South African Dip: On behalf of Prime Minister Smuts of South Africa, the South African people are pleased to accept the recognition of the Brazilian people of the South African nation. We shall consider the normalization of relations between our two nations, but for the time being, we shall open a consolate in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the coordination of foreign talks between South Africa and Brazil until a time when a proper embassy can be established in the country.
 * Canada: With the collapse of the United Kingdom and the fleeing of the Royal Family and those that do not wish to serve the new Red Menace, Canada is quickly flooded with refuges, many of whom just suffered a week long voyage on over crowded merchant and Royal Navy ships fleeing the revolts and the establishment of the Union of Britain. A political crisis develops: the Governor General refuses to give up his position to King Edward VIII, and opinion in Canada is against the "King that lost Britain." Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King decides to settle this with a huge, sweeping "British Imperial Reform Act." King Edward VIII reluctantly agrees to abdicate the throne, and his brother, Prince Albert, is to be offered the crown, which he accepts as King George VI. The colonies of the British Empire that are still willing to follow the House of Windsor/a remanent government of the UK are immediately announced as self-governing Dominions, and given full rights under the Statue of Westminster that basically made Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the other Dominions independent in 1931. Newfoundland is given the choice to join Canada or remain independent via referendum (MODS: How do I algo? The former colonies/new Dominions can then agree to join Canada in establishing the Commonwealth of Nations, a economic, cultural and political (but not military) alliance to help build up their economies and stabilize their governments. And, just to stick to the new Union of Britain, we refuse to accept their illegal seizure of power, and maintain that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is still a functioning nation (aka, no diplo representation, and there is a UK "government in exile" in Canada. Canada cancels the contract for the Marten fighter production, and the construction of the rest of the Provincial class ships are put on hold as we have more pressing issues, such as the settling of refuges, and all spare public money is diverted to infrastructure and housing for the waves of British refugees. (MODS AND CRIM: How many refugees do I have to deal with? Do I have any advanced British research? Also, do I have any parts of a "loyalist" Royal Navy/the Army/RAF? And how many of the former colonies might agree to join my Commonwealth?)
 * Id personally say at least half the Royal navy would fleet to canada, and potentially millions of refugees it would be like Saigon, almost all people would flee to Canada, and the Pacific fleets would go to Aussie and NZ. As for colonies thats to be discussed with more than just one mod. -Feud
 * To be honest, if you give me millions of refugees now, Canada, (population about 12 million now) will basically economically collapse, unless we get a lot of help from other nations. As much as I would love the increase in my population, I have to call implausible there. -TB
 * No way half the royal navy flees to Canada. I'd say 20% would be stretching it.
 * German Dip: Berlin extends a hand of friendship ot the new seat of British power and hopes to build long relations with Canada.
 * Canadian Dip: Canada welcomes a relationship with Germany, and hope that our working together could lead to a peaceful world... and maybe reclaim Britain for the Commonwealth.
 * Guatemala asks to purchase British Honduras, and will allow the British government-in-exile to more or less name its price.
 * Canadian Dip: Canada and the British Government in Exile offer British Honduras for $3 million dollars. (Too much? I dunno)
 * Argentinean Dip: We request to purchase all of the UK's southern islands, including the Falklands, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia, and and South Sandwich Islands. We recognize Canada and the British Government in Exile as the official representative to the United Kingdom and successor state to the British Empire.
 * Turkey Diplomacy: Turkey extends an olive branch to the British Royal Family in Canada and recognizes them as the true seat of the British Empire whilst the Communists that have taken power in London are rejected. Now let's get to the business XD, Turkey expresses its desire to purchase the island of Cyprus from the British authorities for whatever price put forward as it is in the interests of Turkey to secure the Gulf of Iskenderun. The British army and navy deployed at the island of Cyprus would be granted safe passage back to Canada if the British authorities sell Cyprus to Turkey.
 * Guatemala accepts the offer and agrees to pay 3 million for British Honduras.
 * '  Netherlands: ' We offer peace to Belgium if we get the entirety of Flanders(with Brussel being under joint control). We have been defeating the Belgians and Antwerpen, Hasselt and Gent have already fallen to us, and our forces are at the gates of Brussel. We have no interest in Wallonia and also immediately with this offer a 20 year NAP to the Belgians, and economical support for the next 20 years. The territories taken by us are not yet annexed, and are currently in a sort special status for a few months. Jan de Wit gains immense popularity, and with the elections being next year, it is practically already decided that he will be the Raadspensionaris, as there are no real challengers. He is celebrated especially because we are considered the only true victors of the war, alongside the USSR, as we are the only ones who have achieved our goals.
 * I personally think it would not make much sense for Belgium to give up its own capital. if you're capable of inflicting the same type of defeat upon Belgium as was inflicted upon Germany in WWII, you could probably take away Brussels. Otherwise, you should most likely try to do what was to happen to Istanbul in the Treaty of Sevres. In this case, just take away Flanders from Belgium and have Brussels turned into a free zone. "It's not going  to suck itself."  10:08, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Edited
 * Belgium Dip: We accept the offer for the entirety of Flanders and accept NAP and economical support.
 * Dutch Dip: We thank Belgium for ending the war.
 * German Dip: Germany thanks the dutch for their help throughout the war and requests that talks beginto establish a common economic area along the Rhine river, and to start pooling the German and dutch resources together to start reconstruction, of a devastated western Europe.
 * Mandatory Palestine: Large immigration of European Jews to the Holy Land continues (most notably British Jews, numbering 35,000, who are escaping the Communist takeover). The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Nationalist movements begin to attract more and more attention with many political parties supporting these movements, recently the actions of the British administration have been hit with accusations of corruption and ineffectiveness further increasing the size nationalist movements. After the Communist takeover in Britain the NPP declares the independence of the nation, as the Commonwealth of Jordania. Troops are sent to fortify the Egyptian border to defend against any possible British offensives. We build up our military by 5000 bringing our total army size up to 65,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. We sent an diplomats to Canada in request to join the Commonwealth of Nations. We also ask Saudi Arabia for a non-aggression pact. (Military/Economic)
 * Transjordan: Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many British expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 10,000. Transjordan follows Palestine's example and joins the Commonwealth of Jordania. (military/Economic)
 * (to mods): what's the possibility of loyalist Mediterranean ships and colonies escaping the UK and joining my nation?
 * Small I think, they'd be more likely to go to Canada.
 * Even forces based in Cyprus or Malta? (due to the Turkish invasion) it seems more logical they would escape the Palestine rather than travel half way across the world.
 * Bit too early for leaving the Empire. Colonies are going to be sitting around saying 'wait what?' for a year or two. Closer you are to Britain, the longer this independence 'clock' is. That said, you will have independence within the next few years.
 * Turkey isn't invading Cyprus, we're purchasing it.
 * I think Palestine and other independently minded can go ASAP. This includes India.
 * New Zealand: With the revolt in the UK and collapse, we follow like other British colonies - We declare bloodless independence, taking the name Federation of New Zealand. Thisbecomes the new flag. Peter Fraser becomes President. We stay neutral in World War II.
 * Posting for QC Saturn120 13:10, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Too early. Same as above. NZ will probably be going next year.
 * Maybe you should unite with Aussie for safety.
 * Switzerland is schocked by the fall of the British Empire but recognizes the independence of its former colonies. The government expresses interest in new energy sources for the future. Swiss scientists show interest in working with the Germans on their nuclear weapons program for experience in the nuclear/atomic field and would like to have some weapons by the 1960s. {can I get a Jerry response here, Nk). Switzerland also begins work on releasing a small European people's car for 1945. The Helvetia 120 car, a 1.2 liter two-door car is set to be released, with prototypes being tested throughout Switzerland. (see pic here). Switzerland is able to export the car to interested nations.
 * German Dip: Germany agrees and Berlin in an effort to build up stronger relations with Germany's neighbors offers the Swiss a trade agreement.
 * Switzerland accepts.
 * Belgium: With our differential collapse of Antwerpen and for us. We await to join for Wallonia. We accept Netherland's peace offer for a 20 year NAP and economical support. We promise this will not happen to us and Netherlands in any costs.
 * German Dip: The new German government sympathetic to Belgium extends a hand of friendship offering to take the rump Belgian state under German protection.
 * Belgium: We accept the offer and we take the rump Belgian state for under German protection.
 * Australia: Australia continues to build up the military. Economy is improved.
 * Australian Dip: We are interested in building up relations with Germany.
 * South Africa: The jet fighter program produces immediate results, with the introduction of the Arend I jet fighter adopted by the military for testing. Taking advantage of its military expertise in the field of aeronautics, the SADF is able to fast-track the development of the fighter in response to the fast-changing field of military technology. Plans to refine the technology currently are underway. The recently designed Jagter semi-automatic rifles are replaced by newly designed fully automatic rifles, long under the curtains of foreign intelligence agencies. The new R-1 Jagter is introduced as the new weapon of the SADF infantry, the first of its kind. Designed to make up for the numerical inferiority of the SADF forces, the new weapon provides the average soldier with a higher rate of fire to offset the numbers hailed by his opponents. The SANEC continues with its nuclear program, making a breakthrough with the production of a single gram of U-235 material. This breakthrough with the production of fissile material has given South African nuclear scientists the needed information required to produce more effective ways of producing more U-235. The staff for the SANEC is expanded to 50,000 personnel, and the budget extended to $44 million dollars, allowing for an increase in the pace for another breakthrough. The aircraft carriers of South Africa, the SAS Riebeeck and the SAS Rhodes are constructed and commissioned by the South African Navy. The crewing and outfitting of the warships begins in earnest, with both ships being allotted their aircraft and flight fuel. Celebration throughout South Africa erupts as both ships begin their maiden voyage. Six new landing ships are constructed by South Africa, and naval exercises are helds in the Indian Ocean to test the ability of the South African Defense Forces to project military power on another landmass. Industrial expansion continues in pace with the rest of the world, with South Africa opening its arms to dozens of British capitalists and industrialists fleeing the United Kingdom in light of the Communist coup, seeking to avoid arrest for their anti-Communist sentiments and opposition to the new Communist government in London.
 * Namibia: The South African government approves of South-West Africa's request to be renamed, and shall henceforth by known as Namibia. The Namibian government reorganizes its militia force into the Namibian Defense Forces, as a wing of the SADF. This new force consists of 15,017 personnel, 57 aircraft, 12 small ships, and 122 tanks, which are to serve as the equipment of the NDF. The expansion of the infrastructure in light of the formation of the coup in London, begins with the introduction of government funds to assist in the expansion of the railway networks passing through Windhoek to Namibe for the transportation of construction goods.
 * Angola: The modernization of Angola begins as construction materials, teachers, food, industrial equipment, and government workers flow into the capital of the union territory. The formation of the Angolan Defense Force takes place as South African officers begin recruiting young men to serve in the ADF ranks. The education of the population with the support of the ANC as the face of the project, begins at once, and the formation of a proper national infrastructure begins to mainfest itself. The economy explodes as young Angolans once prevented from taking part in the economy of Angola by the Portuguese forces.
 * The United States asks South Africa to share rocket and other fancy technology things because of the need for all nations to unite against the threat of Communism.
 * South African Dip: It would be our pleasure to do so in exchange for any nuclear technology breakthroughs achieved by the United States government. We wouldn't want to leave each other out in the cold on nuclear research, now would we?
 * The United States agrees.
 * India: India continues to improve its infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built mostly on rivers. Imperial Highway 3 and 4 is under construction and Route 3 between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, then 4 between Mumbai and Hyderabad. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. A new religion law is passed in India as Religion Act of 1944. Under the law, all citizens of the whole British Raj shall converted to Hinduism immediately, because Hinduism is an official and major religion and Islam as India's hated religion. After the Communist takeover in Britain and years of revolutions and different culture groups, India asks the British Empire to set up a plan to eventually India become completely independent, as this is much more effective and the current system is somewhat of a burden on politics, though hope to maintain relations with the UK. This is what Indian independence movement leader Mahatma Gandhi said.
 * There is no British Empire. You could just, you know, declare independence. It happens
 * Republic of Colombia: Industry continues to be built up. Oil stuff. Military stuff.
 * In the United States, there is much anti-Communist sentiment. There is also massive military buildup in case we need to go to war with the Commies. The Manhattan Project is accelerated due to the revolution in Britain. President Wallace wins re-election on a strong anti-Communist platform. There is also industrial buildup across the country now that the war in Europe is mostly over. America begins to fund anti-British anti-Communist rings everywhere, especially in the British Caribbean possessions like the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and British Virgin Isles, as well as in Bermuda. The US also sends people to India, Egypt, the British Mandates, and Australia in order to incite anti-Communist revolutions. Diplomats are sent to South Africa, France, Germany, Brazil, and Japan to discuss the potential of an anti-Communist bloc. America also continues to send aid to the loyalist government in Mexico.
 * German Dip: Germany agrees to a possible alliance but, the government states that it needs to rebuild before any actions can be taken.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * German Dip: The German representative proposes that the German-Soviet border be drawn at the pre 1917 German-Russian Border.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi Economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues.With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The Military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations.

''' After deciding, Portugal decides to trade Nick Foles for draft picks, and gets a Quarterback the Jets like, trades for that and drafts an actually useful player for them to use. '''
 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. This profit gained from expanding these industries led to a general mindset developed to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry upon which proved quite beneficial is maintaining Turkey self-sufficient whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia were largely in poverty. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established basically acted as a police to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and was directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as to serve as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted.  The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. However, the technological support that had already been provided was considered enough to bring about mass changes in the Turkish naval forces. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was disbanded and quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters still maintain their superiority over the Turkish fighters for which orders for production are not given yet, and the size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 450 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Russia and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as the German rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists make minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. The project, however, continues scarcely making much gains, though. Diplomats are sent to the Peoples Union of Britain and the Commonwealth of Canada to negotiate the purchase of Cyprus. It is the general view of Turkey for it to peacefully purchase Cyprus without having to wage war upon either the Commonwealth of Canada or the Peoples Union of Britain as both nations apparently claim control over Cyprus. However, both are also reminded that neither are really in any condition to enforce their claims over Cyprus. They're reminded that virtual South African independence, inevitable Egyptian independence and the Spanish movement towards Gibraltar has cut off the British [Whether Communist or Monarchist] from control over the Cape of Good Hope, Suez Canal and the Straits of Gibraltar. Therefore, it would be appreciated if Turkey finds out which one is to be paid as soon as possible. 
 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * Mexico: The Mexican Civil War continues, with the forces loyal to the conspirators, quickly gaining ground in Southern Mexico, but unfortunately, with their progress on Mexico City halted, they turn to other more pressing matters further south. The loyalists, meanwhile, have control over Baja California, Northern Mexico, and whatever regions of the Yucatan they still control, although the Yucatan region is isolated from the rest of Loyalist Mexico and losing ground. However, hope lies as the Americans begin to move in into the country, and help stop the rebel forces. However, the Americans are not the only ones, as Guatemalan and (in secret), Brazilian supplies are rolling in from the Guatemalan border into Mexico, while unknown to the major factions, minor factions emerge in Chiapas and Yucatan, as well as the divided Mexico City, taking advantage of the chaos to instill either fear or hope on the people. The conspirators call for the withdrawal of American forces in the region, while some of the more extreme leaders from that side call for war, while the main leader decides to ask Guatemalan-Brazilian forces to intervene, in order to deal with the Americans.
 * Brazil Dip: While we wish the best to the mexican forces wishing to make nicer with Brazil, we refuse any direct intervention: Secret: The self thinking Brazilian general sends drawn out plans to help mexican forces as well to fully utilize the equipment being sent to Mexicos main faction (particularly a blitzkreig like group of battleplans to utilize the Medium tanks, and other weapons sent).
 * Guatemala: Supplies several brigades of "volunteers" totalling 25,000 men, as well as more arms and funding.
 * Romania: Mihai I is the King and Constantin Sănătescu is the Prime Minister. Romania has 200.000 soldiers. To have the economy better the government can sell to European nations like Switzerland, Germany, some of the uranium that Romania has. Romania is going to mine more in the mines. The monarch is very popular in Romania.
 * Switzerland is interested in acquiring uranium and is willing to pay well or offer other goods in exchange.
 * Romania agrees, for eight million.
 * Iran: Seek support from America to furnish us with modern weapons, planes and tanks, and train our army to use them. We aslo ask for support the American to help us weaken the British in the Middle East in exchange of cheap oil. Defense along the Soviet borders start to be build. Effort to modernize the nation continue with huge progress with both the villages and cities becoming Westernized.
 * The United States agrees.
 * The United States moves troops into the Bahamas and declares it a protectorate of the United States. Bermuda is also turned into an unincorporated territory. The Navy begins making regular patrols around these regions and Puerto Rico+the Virgin Islands. Also, peacekeeping forces under the command of Dwight Eisenhower are deployed into Haiti in the name of anti-Communism. It is regarded as controversial but it is part of the Wallace administration's new hardline policy against Communism and imperialism. There is also great military buildup and growth of the economy. The Navy begins to build more and more ships, carriers, transports, and escorts while the Army also designs new, stronger tanks while the Air Force begins to look into rocket technology thanks to research and designs shared with us by the Germans. More aid is sent to the loyalists in Mexico to ensure stability in the nation. The Manhattan Project continues and the development of a working nuclear weapon of mass destruction is projected to be completed in one to two years (1946.0 or 1946.5). More to come. Damn Canadians.
 * ​Brazil Dip: Brazil requests the United States make a concentrated to effort to prevent a major issue in Africa if colonies start breaking away from their various empires. Particularly to prevent a nation from gaining too much power in unwarranted ways.
 * The United States would like to focus on make a strong base at home before taking major steps overseas. However, America invites Brazil to join America and Canada in the signing of an anti-Communist treaty.
 * Argentina: We request to join the anti-Communist treaty. We offer to send the United States schematics for our jet fighters to speed up the US jet fighter program.
 * The United States agrees to this arrangement.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic. We accept the German trade agreement offered late last year. 
 * The United States offers to send economic aid to the Republic of China and a trade agreement.
 * Brazil: Brazil with the end of the majority of the conflict abroad returns to a more relaxed stance. drawing its patrols further back into Brazil rather than extending fully across the atlantic. The Brazilian navy in general draws its patrol routes to the coasts of South America to better watch its own influence and sphere. The Brazilian Military maintains its current size and decides no further expansion for the time being. Brazil begins to integrate its allies and economic partners deeper into ties with Brazil particularly within its own market sphere. Brazil being South Americas most industrializied state as well as its most influential has gained a commanding market dominance over the continent being able to market its goods convincingly to the rest of its allies and economic partners. Brazils nuclear research continues with enrichment of uranium in particular continuing. This leads to a closer understanding of how the bomb physics work and a prediction that Brazil and her co-operation partners will all achieve the bomb by early 1948. Brazil's election takes place with Nereu Ramos reigning Victorious in the election. The Brazilian air force continues to develop its jet technology particularly with its fighter which begins mass production. However, it is not replacing fully the Super Blackhawk which still reigns as Brazil's top air superiority fighter. The Brazilian navy officially launches two of its first Light carriers the Barroso and the União each holding about 40-50 aircraft. Their launch and commission coincides with Ramos's re-election and this is consecrated as such. The Brazilian army in particular undergoes a rigourous program to begin chemical weapons development using some of its research and development budget geared towards this. The Brazilian Espadas now being classified a the navies clandestine special forces group conduct a raid on a rebel group in the state of Amazonas ending their tenure as a rebel group with great prejudice. Brazil fully integrates the purchased islands as overseas territories. The Brazilian government in general treats this as semi autonomous states in order to gradually include them into Brazils cultural development. Jamaica in Particular is a relatively given proposition for a Brazilian naval base and the military plans on establishing a major naval base in Jamaica, with the most likely city being Kingston. Brazil political opinion begins to shift in a more involved kind of phase due to the various international events Brazil has begun to play with. Brazils industry by the next year is predicted to Rival the Japanese empire in terms of Industry. The Literacy rate in Brazil in just the recent time period has jumped considerably with the new schooling system paying off as new generations enter the workforce. The previously rural Brazil has largely begun to Urbanize and the growth rate in population is expected to skyrocket in the next few years. With the various agreements developed between Germany and Brazil the Brazilian government acquires its own STG-44's from the Germans and begins to test them for uses as well as development of a weapon from this gun.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela's elections go as planned with a Pro-Brazil faction taking control. The Brazilian bases in Venezuela expand. The nations oil and refining industry continues to expand with the nation beginning to show a greater standard of living. Venezuelas armed forces expand to about 120,000 with their navy growing in recruitment. The Brazilian investment into Venezuela continues to pay off as the expansion of oil opportunity to various new countries particularly Germany helps expand the economy significantly. Venezuelas population reaches four million. The Venezuelan people are still rather shocked at the British homeland going Communist but begin to learn to accept it.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Guyanan confederation adds British Guyana to its nation expanding the nation's population to about 750,000. Brazilian immigration to the other 2/3rds of the country continues to expand with the migration to British Guyana beginning as well. The mining of Bauxite and Manganese continues and the development of a port city and search continues.
 * Argentinean Secret Diplomacy: We request to join the Brazilian-Japanese nuclear weapons research. We have our own reactor, and have produced 100 pounds of plutonium.
 * Brazil Secret Dip: Done and done
 * Ethiopia: Seeing the collapse of the British Empire we seize British Somaliland stating ethnic reasons. We add the province to the Somali region of Ethiopia and tell the people that you are finally free from the Europeans. We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * German Reich: Reconstruction in the Rhineland continues as over 100,000 people are drafted to help with the rebuilding effort a month calling on rotating classes. Through this method progress is made specially in the Ruhr and in major cities along the Rhine river. The new government continue to relax political restrictions allowing the Social Democratic Party to reform. Trials of several members of the old Junta begin. Most are found of treason and sentencing will be passed in the following months. Elections are promised for the first time in over a decade in 1946, and campaigning begins almost at once with the leading parties being the reformed Social Democrat Party, the Centre Party which now has a lot more votes thanks to the Austrian electorate, and the Reformed Conservative Party representing the interests of the Old Prussian Elite, many think that the Centre Party, and the Social Democrats will sweep the elections. The reindustrialization of the Rhineland picks up as many companies invest to have their factories rebuilt or invest in new properties to try and put together a profit in the upcoming years. SIlesia enjoys a massive increase in profits as it remains the only German industrial hub uneffected and production of commodities and goods grows in the region. The Bundeswagen sets up two main factories one in Breslau and the other in Hamburg, production of the Bundeswagen 1945 begins. Due to widespread social and political reppression over the past decade with the lifting of restrictions many clubs quickly become booked due to an explosion of Jazz, cabaret shows, and other artistic forms occurs, Cities like Berlin, Munich, Breslau, Konigsberg, Hamburg, and Cologne become major centres for these shows, the phenomenon is known as the Lost Decade due to the fact that most of this would have been the natural evolution of the Weimar artistic and social development, had the right not taking over. The new government provides supplies and funds for those who lost their homes or who were displaced by the war until they get back on their feet, but lots of restrictions and observations are made to ensure that these benefits are not exploited as the government is trying to manage its resources efficiently. The prototype for the Horten Ho 229 is developed in secret, a test flight of the stealth fighter is done, and several issues are noticed with the system it shows a lot of promise, the Ho 229 is kept a secret from all but a select few. schematics on the concept of stealth tech is giving to the Brazilian and American ambassadors in person to share with their respective militaries in exchange for more raw material and funds. Co-operation with the Brazilian Nuclear Program increases and Germany looks at the americans as another possible partner in the indeavor, a chain reaction is produced to the great satisfaction of the German government and high command and it is estimated that first bomb will be ready by 1949. development of more efficient jet fighters using the Me 262 as a foundation continues to start phazing out the now obsolete WW2 era fighters. Realizing the inefficiency of having several types of tanks the Wermacht offers large subsedies to the company that can develop an all purpose tank,Krauss-Maffie, Bundeswagen, Krupp, and other large industrial groups look more into the Panzer IV designs to develop a better medium tank which will help phase out the lighter and heavier tanks. schematics for a possible new panzer design nicknamed the Panther are delivered to the high command for review. The G 06 assault rifle is developed as the natural evolution of the stg 44, while it hace noticible shortcomings the base weapon is deemed as superior to all other firearms out there at the moment and demand factory production begins at once to start phasing out the aging Gewher 43, and the kar 98. The mechanization of the German armed forces continues as it is seen as the key to avioding any future defeats in the face of Soviet superior manpower. Plans to expand the navy are scuttled as the large funds allocated to the navy during the war are seen as better spent elsewhere, however, it is decided that the navy will be modernized in the future. Synthetic rubber is now being produced in large amounts thanks to technological developments during the war and with this the price of certain products go down a lot thanks to the this new development. The V-2 rocket is developed in secrecy and the government decides to do a live test with the new weapon, launching two of the new rockets against some of the pockets of Polish resistence remaining in Posen, the new weapon is seen as a good scare tactic but before it can be useful weapon of war ajustments are needed to improve accuracy of the weapon. As a by-product of the rocket development a new anti-tank weapon is developed the Panzerschreck 45 is developed to help deal with tanks. Troops engaging Polish guerrillas make progress as the dismantle one pocket after another, slaughtering those that resist, and shipping the others to camps along the border with Soviet Poland, It is universally decided that all Pole who refuse to accept a return of German rule will expelled across the border and the land will be giving to families of Germans fleeing from Eastern Europe.
 * Mods, Either continue to do algos or stop Germany from being at war with Russia in Poland. the USSR has basically already been declared the winner, so they should get to decide what happens to Poland.
 * Ummm - Poland player: mp and I agreed to partition you. The war with the Soviets is over, he is on his land and I'm on my mine. You got split up. It's that simple. With Blood and Iron (talk) 01:24, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Belgium: We might exist to join the under German protection called Wallonia. It gives us the opportunity to work with German and Netherlands. Military gains more troops ahead, into 10,000 Belgian forces in total of 250,000 troops in the military. Government wasn't surprised after the argument of the Netherlands caused us the loss of Brussels, Antwerpen and Limburg.
 * Australia: Australia continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. A new railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is planned.
 * Australian Dip: We ask Micronesia if they want to unite with Australia.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We ask our fellow Dominion if they wish to join Canada in establishing a Commonwealth of Nations to tie the former British Empire into a common economic, political and cultural alliance (note, not military)
 * Australian Diplomacy: We accept Canada's offer.
 * Switzerland begins to move into peacetime mode, with the army reduced to just 150,000 full-time men and women, though conscription will still continue. Swiss presence in Liechtenstein is reduced to 5 soldiers and talks resume to continue the couse of union between the two nations. The Helvetia 120 is officially released for sale with production initially at 2000 cars per month, to increase in the coming years. Guisan resigns as leader of Switzerland and the Social Democrats are elected into power. Some uranium is acquired from Romania for early tests into potential uses and the government also agrees to acquire some from South Africa. A nuclear site is built in order to experiment with this uranium and look into potntial energy and military uses, again building on early co-operation with the Germans.
 * Swiss nukes? Doesn't make sense.
 * Look them up, the project did exist.
 * Yugoslavia Concerned with the rising threat of Communism, the military decides to begin a program to procure modern weapons for the troops to replace the World War I-vintage standard issue equipment. Accordingly, they begin to look into purchasing weapons abroad. As part of the military buildup, a state-owned aircraft company, SOKO, is founded. Plans to improve infrastructure are also drawn up as part of an overall program of modernization.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi Economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues.With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The Military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations.
 * India: India continues to improve its infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built mostly on rivers. Imperial Highway 3 and 4 is opened and Route 3 between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, then 4 between Mumbai and Hyderabad. Next one on Indian highway plans, Imperial Highway 5 is under construction and routes between Delhi and Mumbai. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. After the Communist takeover in Britain and years of revolutions and different culture groups, India finally declares independence and British Raj doesn't exists anymore. The Union of Monarchist Indian States (UMIS) is officially founded on 4 March 1945, with Ravi Phunkar, imperial called Ravi I, as its first emperor of India, imperial house of Phunkar rules India, as well he has retaken title of former British Raj emperor. About 2 of 25% Muslim Indians that formally follows Islam are now converted to Hinduism.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We ask The Union of Monarchist Indian States if they wish to join Canada in establishing a Commonwealth of Nations to tie the former British Empire into a common economic, political and cultural alliance (note, not military)
 * Indian Diplomacy: Accept, India and Canada joins together and establishing Commonwealth of Nations here.
 * Mod Event thingies: Muslims rebel against the Hindu government and the forced conversion laws. Also, people who want a republic free of monarchy also rebel against the government. Also, Burma declares its independence in the east.
 * Muslims are not just going to convert to Hinduism. This problem is not going to go away.
 * Canada: A general election is held in Canada, and William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberal Government wins another Majority, this time buoyed by refugees from the home land. The UK Government in Exile, headed by Winston Churchill (He's still alive ATL, right?), is given a cabinet post in the Canadian Government to support the needs of the British Exodus. The problem of what to do with the many refugees, the many ships of the Royal Navy and units of the RAF and British army that defected is hampered by few records of exactly how many people Canada now has to deal with (Mods, can you please give me a guideline of what I have to deal with now?). To ease the strain on the Maritimes, many are given free train tickets to travel to Ontario, Quebec, and the Prairie Provinces. Many of the wealthiest are encouraged to start up new businesses in Canada to help employ the refugees and unemployed Canadians. Massive refugee camps are built throughout the country to house the British Exodus. The Department of Defense starts to draw up plans to incorporate whatever ships of the Royal Navy, planes of the RAF and army units of the British Army into the current Canadian military structure. Efforts to maintain as much tradition as possible is upheld. Canada also asks to join the United States's Anti-Communist alliance... for reasons. And just to top it all off, PM W.L.M. King denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communist.
 * Millions of people at least.
 * The United States agrees that an official anti-Communist bloc needs to be formally created and invites Canadian diplomats to sign a treaty with the United States providing common and mutual defense against the threat of Communism. Also, the government offers Canada an economic aid package to help them deal with the mass exodus of British nationals and offers any help possible.
 * South Africa: The South African Air Force tests the Arend I jet fighter, and passes it as a viable fighter aircraft upon completion of the test flight. The Arend I is immediately introduced into the SADF and a total of 70 jet fighters are ordered by the military for immediate deployment by the air force. The navy sends a fleet of two cruisers, five destroyers, and four frigates, headed by the SAS Rhodes to the American city of Norfolk to visit the President of the United States, and plan a strategy against the Communist forces in Europe. It is a grand occasion, the first time a sitting head of state of South Africa went abroad to another country on official duties. Back home, the research into nuclear power continues ahead, with a planned break out in 1953. The government of South Africa pours additional money into the program to help the SANEC move ahead without funding issues. Additional nuclear reactors for the program are constructed in the country to support the infrastructure needed by the SANEC. Expansion of the literacy program in South Africa continues with schools and universities being built throughout the nation to expand the ability of black Africans to gain access to an education. With the economic benefits acquired by educating Africans, whites in the nation have opened up the idea of allowing them to be educated on par with white South Africans. Exploiting the opening, the ANC propels many of its members into the government by suggesting that the literacy program would best be led by blacks, providing a more welcoming face for the government to the people. With their success in Angola well documented, the South African government agrees to the plan, and allows the ANC to direct the government's literacy program in South Africa. Construction of hospitals and medical facilities in the black majority regions of South Africa begins, as the high mortality rates within the black population has since come to concern many government officials who do not wish to see large numbers of their workforce depleted so quickly because of poor government planning. Combined with the greater economy independence and security of black Africans, many can afford to take advantage of these modern facilities, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As the new public infrastructure is constructed, many Africans are moving out of rural areas, and into the cities, where they have a major impact on the economic growth of the nation. Given the squalor many were living in before the modernization of their home towns, the death rate was understandably high. It is hoped that many black South Africans will be able to fully benefit from the government's renewed interest in their well-being. With the high rate of development of the economy, economists predict a 5.7% increase in the national GDP for this year. The government of South Africa continues its negotiations with Northern and Southern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and Bechuanaland on the possibility of establishing a federation of states following the coup in London. With no love for the British government to begin with due to the controversial methods the British subjects in Africa use to government their territories, the government of Prime Minister Smuts of South Africa, Sir Godfrey Huggins of Southern Rhodesia, Sir Edmund Richards of Northern Rhodesia, and the government of Bechuanaland proceed to devise a government that will incorporate all of their territories into a single entity. A census is held by the government for the year of 1945, revealing a population of 11,281,594 citizens.
 * ​Namibia: The development of Namibia's economy and infrastructure continues as normal, with expansion of the NDF continuing in pace with the nation's growth. Shipments of modern military equipment arrive in the capital city for the NDF's reorganization. The economy benefits from the transit of industrial equipment from South Africa going to Angola, and many workers coming through the city of Windhoek stopping to rest and relax. The desire for luxury goods from overseas results in the expansion of Walvis Bay, allowing it to import more goods for the benefit of those back in the capital city. The mining industry also benefits from the growth, as gold, platinum, diamond, and uranium miners are able to get their hands on better industrial equipment. With a growth in the population, the government can begin constructing refineries in the nation, allowing the cost of transporting the minerals out of the nation to be cut as they are refined at home. A census is held by the government for the year of 1945, revealing a population of 483,952 citizens.
 * Angola: Education of the population is swift and targeted, with the literacy program focusing on the farmers and laborers of the nation, before reaching the higher echelons of power. As the case is in South Africa, the government is seeking to increase the standard of living in Angola for the benefit of the people, so as to best exploit the population resources available to the government. With education on the dangerous of VD and poor sanitation spreading throughout Angola, many officials state that the government can expect a lower death rate in the coming years, as many natives begin to use modern sanitation methods for dealing with waste, diseases, and pregnancies. As predicted, fewer mothers have died giving birth in the first half of this year, achieving much praise for foreigner observers. The economy benefits greatly from this turn of affairs, as more Angolans are able to partake in the economy of the nation rather than working harder to support their families because of the loss of a parent in the household. With another person in the house to care for the children, the men are able to focus on work. With the introduction of better paying jobs in the nation, many Angolan men are able to move their families out of the rural areas of the nation, and into the city, or even purchase tractors and other modern tools for their farms, increasing agricultural output. Though there is much left to do, at least the government is able to boast it has achieved some of its goals. A census is held by the government for the year of 1945, revealing a population of 4,193,843 citizens.
 * Swiss Dip: Switzerland shows interest in acquiring around 2 tons of uranium for early research.
 * South African Dip: South Africa would be happy to provide the resources for $2.5 million dollars.
 * Swiss Dip: Switzerland finds that great.
 * Again, Swiss nukes seems ASB.
 * Scraw, they're not, look up the Swiss nuclear program, plus do keep in mind that we're assisting the Germans with theirs. Btw, all this is just for very initial testing/experimentation. DOn't expect Swiss nukes or energy plants for at least another decade, or 15 years.
 * Argentina: We produce another eight jet fighters. Another two long range bombers are completed. Private companies are struggling with the helicopter design. Secretly, work continues on the nuclear weapons program. A meager budget is given to develop a rocket. The Army looks into manufacturing an assault rifle. The government praises the end of the war in Europe and the peace treaty. Monitoring continues on the Socialist Party. We officially recognize Canada as the successor to the United Kingdom. Work begins on modernizing public sanitation, and health. Ground is broken for a new hospital in Buenos Aires, and doctors are sent to the United States, Germany, Brazil, and Canada to study medicine, dentistry, and health in general. Some drilling for oil begins in the northern provinces where signs of the liquid gold has been found. The Department of Agriculture outlaws slash and burn methods for crops, although it will be difficult to enforce. The military acquires 20 infantry landing boats for the Marine Corps, as well as moves twenty light tanks to the Marines from the Army, and purchases thirty artillery pieces. The Army receives another twenty infantry tanks. Work on a submarine continues. The Ballester-Molina Semiautomatic Pistol completely replaces the M1911, and the Chiesanuova rifle replaces the Mauser. (Mil/Eco Turn)
 * Uruguay: The Communist Party is still monitored. Work continues on building highways and interstates throughout the nation. We recognize Canada as the official successor nation to the United Kingdom. The government in joint with Argentina praises the end of the war in Europe. Ten infantry tanks are acquired from Argentina. (Mil/Inf Turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Poland: We are EXTREMELY upset at Germany for their crimes against humanity, especially their genocide against Polish people. We ask for Soviet intervention and for their help in controlling the border and pushing any final Germans out of Poland. We also need a response from the USSR about their plans for Poland. We build up our military to help with the force against the Germans. We ask other countries in Europe to place sanctions on Germany until their horrible crimes end. Finally, we build up the infrastructure to help Soviets reach Western Poland faster.
 * France: With the war drawing close to an end, the French army holds in the Ruhr and Rhineland abusing it to power their current war machine. Though peace had been met during the time they had been waiting for the terms to be hashed out and the official treaty to be signed. While the French military had been sitting and waiting, the Germans used this opportunity to launch an offensive to reclaim the lost industry in the Ruhr and Rhineland. The Germans are successful in pushing back the French our if major areas, though total ejection of the French of the Ruhr was predicted to take another three months. With the war officially ending with the terms affirmed between the French and German politics, those who served and saw combat are advised to head home and live the rest of their lives with their families. Meanwhile those who did not see combat are brought into the fore front of the military, along with the reserves moving into full active duty. The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, air craft, and naval vessels. With the reserves being planned to be raised. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. (Military/Economy turn)
 * Guatemala is delighted to discover that its newly acquired territory of British Honduras contains substantial reserves of petroleum. Galvanized by this, the Premier announces a new "Five-Year Plan" to industrialize and modernize the country. Labour teams are mobilized to begin the construction and improvement of heavy industry, mines, and other infrastructure, with particular focus on arms-manufacturing plants. The government fails to explain how it will secure the technological expertise necessary. To justify this to the populace, the government plays up the necessity of supporting Mexico. Accordingly, several Volunteer Brigades of 25,000 men are formed and sent north in support. Mosquitia and El Salvador launch they down Five-Year Plans.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Phillip Ferdinand comes to power after a close vote. After Ferdinand talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Ferdinand also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Philipe Ferdinand saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. The last offensive takes place against Lisbon, hoping to topple the Fascist regime in the final battle. Meanwhile income from the mining industry rises, and tech modernization continues. Spain asks United States if they could purchase American technology, to help modernize the nations technical level. The monarchist party also starts to gain followers, with almost 34% of the populations either registered or supporting the party. Spain asks Brazil, a Portuguese speaking nation, to build naval bases in Angola and Mosqambsbe to help extend its world influence overseas. [Mil/Econ Turn (Nation/Vassals)]

 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. This profit gained from expanding these industries led to a general mindset developed to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry upon which proved quite beneficial is maintaining Turkey self-sufficient whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia were largely in poverty. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established basically acted as a police to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and was directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as to serve as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted.  The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. However, the technological support that had already been provided was considered enough to bring about mass changes in the Turkish naval forces. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was disbanded and quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters still maintain their superiority over the Turkish fighters for which orders for production are not given yet, and the size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 450 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Russia and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as the German rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists make minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. The project, however, continues scarcely making much gains, though. Turkey starts influencing the island of Cyprus [Turn One of Six]. Meanwhile, the Turks fund independence movements in Iraq. Along the same time, with Pakistan, India and Burma declaring independence; we announce our recognition of all three parties. 
 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic. We accept the United States offer of weapons presented late last year. 
 * Poland: We ask for extreme military intervention in Germany from the USSR, and hope that they can cake over the Eastern section of Germany, in order to end the German threat, the Polish genocide, and the German tyrannical crimes against humanity. We improve our military and send it to the war with Germany. (We remind the mods to either stop Germany from being at war with us, or continue the algos between Germany and the Polish-Soviet alliance). We ask for an alliance with Britain, as they have now also become Communist. We improve our infrastructure in order to help the Soviet reinforcements more quickly access the battle. We ask for the countries of the world to place sanctions on Germany until they have stopped all of their immoral actions. Citizens begin to grow hostile towards Germans, but the government refuses to go into action unless they have been proven guilty of crimes.
 * poland realize that you no longer exist, the soviets own you and Northwest Poland is German now. With Blood and Iron (talk) 01:33, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I did not realize that because you were the only one ever saying that which wasn't trusty enough.
 * Trust me - if it weren't so I wouldn't even bother. I do apologize for what happened but you did backstab me so XD. With Blood and Iron (talk) 11:12, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm not committing genocide. I'm expelling the Poles from the lands I occupy. With Blood and Iron (talk) 01:34, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Poland doesn't exist any longer.
 * The United States invites Colombia and Mexico to join the PATO. More peacekeeping forces are deployed to Mexico. The Army seizes Port-au-Prince and begins the occupation of Haiti. Or not. I still need an algo. America also requests that Germany share rocket technology. There is great military buildup and stuff. The M3 tank is deployed into Haiti and the B-29 is used in Mexico to aid the loyalists. More carriers and large assault ships are built in preparation for war, as well as advances in planes. The Manhattan Project nears completion, and towards the end of the year, an implosion-type plutonium device is detonated in New Mexico. It is the first successful detonation of a nuclear weapon in the history of the world. J. Robert Oppenheimer famously states "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." America also builds up its economy and industry. Wallace's approval ratings go up thanks to his hardline stance against Communism and foreign aggression. Puerto Rico is admitted as a state, but it includes the Virgin Isles. The federal government ends the practice of daylight saving time in the states. Also, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are incorporated as the Territory of Guam.
 * In the Bahamas, there is military buildup as the United States moves troops, ships, and planes into the region. A military governor (Bradley?) is appointed over the islands. All ties with the former Britain are severed due to the Communist revolution and the people generally accept the Americans since they are not Communist.
 * The island territory of Bermuda is destined to become a future naval base for the American Navy's Atlantic fleet. Also, a new American airfield is constructed on the island as the staging point for any possible future events.
 * The United States begins to loosen its grip on the Philippines since the potential danger of war in the Pacific decreases. A referendum is held there and it very narrwoly results in a plurality of Philippine citizens voting on becoming a Commonwealth.
 * Spain requests to join PATO.
 * The United States votes to allow Spain into PATO. Place a formal request on the PATO page.
 * Germany agrees to give its recent developments in Rocketry to the Americans in exchange for details on the American nuclear program. On another note the German ambassador to Washington D.C. expresses Germany's interest in the Pan-Atlantic Treaty Organization.
 * The United States agrees to Germany's proposed exchange of information and invites Germany to become an observer nation in PATO.
 * Argentinean Dip: We offer to trade with the United States two of our jet fighters and schematics in exchange for aid developing a submarine and work on our nuclear weapons program.
 * The United States agrees to exchange jet fighters and jet fighter related material in exchange for submarine related material. You have your own nuke problem, why would you ask me for it?
 * Guatemala is delighted to discover that its newly acquired territory of British Honduras contains substantial reserves of petroleum. Galvanized by this, the Premier announces a new "Five-Year Plan" to industrialize and modernize the country. Labour teams are mobilized to begin the construction and improvement of heavy industry, mines, and other infrastructure, with particular focus on arms-manufacturing plants. The government fails to explain how it will secure the technological expertise necessary. To justify this to the populace, the government plays up the necessity of supporting Mexico. Guatemala proposes to the Mexican rebel forces that they place their portion of Mexico into federation with Guatemala, enabling the two nations to augment each others' strength and defeat the loyalist forces.
 * Not happening sorry -Feud
 * Mexico: The war continues as Loyalist forces in Yucatan lose battle after battle against the conspirators, while they manage to retake Mexico City. The conspirators accept the Guatemalan offer, while the loyalists decide to join PATO. While this benefits both sides, the war is still a bloody stalemate across most of the nation. The loyalists request direct involvement from PATO, in order to deal with the problem.
 * Ace, end the bloody war before I piss myself.
 * Argentina: The military begins to plan integration into the PATO military structure. The Air Force receives another 12 jet fighters, and eight bombers. The Navy begins to adapt the jet fighter for aircraft carrier usage. Some in the government want to support the rebels in Mexico. Overall, the government decides to remain neutral. The Argentinean government agrees to set up a ferry system between Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Some in the Congress of Argentina want to annex Uruguay as a new province, but currently, the President wants to wait. Work on a helicopter continues, with a engine designed, and the tail rotor finished. A frame is partially designed, and the tail engine is still being worked on. The Navy lays down three corvettes which use the same framework as the destroyers, just are shorter and have a shallower draught. They will be done in a year. Work on the first two submarines begins. There will be three more submarines built to provide support for the Navy and the aircraft carrier task force. Work continues with Brazil and Japan on the nuclear weapons program. More progress is made, and hopes are for the bomb in the next decade. The Argentine National Gendarmerie is formed with 25,000 soldiers utilizing retired rifles and handguns. A coast guard is formed with the four river patrol boats. The Coast Guard has 10,000 sailors in it. A hydroelectric dam is planned for the rivers to provide clean electricity. The new hospital is halfway completed, and doctors are planned to return in three years. We begin influencing Paraguay. (Turn One of Six) (Mil/Infra turn)
 * Uruguay: The Army purchases another 12 infantry tanks. The Navy purchases another destroyer. Work continues on the infrastructure around the nation, and mass transit continues around Montevideo. A ferry system is planned to link Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Work begins on a new power plant to increase coverage and reduce blackouts. (Mil/Infra turn)
 * Brazil: Nereu Ramos loses some popular support as he agrees to join into the Pan Atlantic Treaty Organization, but cites the growing threat from Communism. Brazil begins to integrate some of its military Structure with PATO and offers the idea to Standardize the ammo of the organization by the end of the 1950's. This is done to make sharing ammunition among other things between military forces can go smoothly. The Brazilian navy continues to develop its power projection capability particularly in the form of marine deployment adding more troopships to the fleet. The Brazilian Army begins to fully develop its airborne capabilities particularly in being able to deploy the Airborne Ranger Divisions. These Divisions are given myriad amounts of specialized equipment particularly the New sub-machine gun developed from a black market acuired Soviet sub machine gun. the MP-33 is given to many Airborne troops for its compact size. The Brazilian army adapts the STG-44 in mass procuring a good amount of these rifles from Germany through arms purchases. Brazil agrees with Spain to set up naval Bases in Angola and Mozambique. The Brazilian fleet immediately deploys battlegroups to these bases along with about 5000 marines to each. These bases are to give them major resupply points for PATO, as well as to expand Brazil power projection capabilities in a much more meaningful capacity. Both bases are also given five destroyers, one cruiser, three frigates, and four subs for their start up forces. The Brazilian air force continues to develop jet engines for it heavy bombers looking to design a whole new bomber for this design. The F-270 is added to the air fleet more with nearly 150 of these aircraft phasing out the blackhawks which are mothballed and put in an holdover base in the Amazons. The Brazilian army begins development of a new tank using design ques to fix various issues with the Viper II. Brazilian forces set up in the new Caribbean territories. The Brazilian GDP thanks to industrial growth reaches abpout 2 billion flat with a growth rate of about 6.3% and growing as more private industry takes off.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela continues to develop its oil and refining industries. The Venezuelan government offically decides to sign the PATO treaty looking to avoid coming to blows with the larger nations which are looking to Combat Communism. The Venezuelan military stays static at 120,000 force but increases its naval capacity. It officially gains its first light carrier from Argentina. The Venezuelan economy and its GDP advance significantly gaining nearly 6.5% this year.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Confederation continues to gain significant Brazilian immigration as many move to take industrialization jobs in the bauxite mining and refining. The Confederation looks to potentially vote to join Brazil in later years with its Bauxite mining becoming a rathr large developing industry in Brazils economic situation.
 * Don't you think Spain should have like a seperate algorithm to occupy Portuguese Angola and Mozambique? It doesn't really make much sense TBH. When Napoleon conquered Spain, the Spanish colonies didn't swear allegiance to Napoleon.. They fought for independence. Similarly, as British colonies are now all going for independence due to the Communist Revolution, it would also make sense for the Portuguese colonies to fight for independence instead of becoming loyal to Spain which occupied mainland Portugal. 
 * The Nazis OTL occupied most of the French colonies (even with a vichy government there was still occupation) with little to no issues, the Free French had to slowly but surely liberate most of the colonies. I think Sat is Fine -Feud
 * South Africa: South Africa continues its talks with Southern Rhodesia on the possibility of establishing a federation, and encourages the Huggins government in Salisbury to discuss and vote on the issue. South Africa also states its deep regret that the other nations in the region refused to join the planned coalition of nations, voicing that any who wish to join are always welcome, with membership remaining an open opportunity for all. The states of Basutoland and Swaziland are approached on the issue of joining the union, with many South African businessmen helping strong-arm several politicians in the smaller states to consider the request. Given the weaker and more vulnerable economies possessed by both, and the enormous reliance on South African co-operation to get their goods to port and on the international market, the two states find themselves choosing between political independence and economic stability. The South Africans have effectively pushed the two enclaves into a narrow corner. Elsewhere, the South African delegation arrives in the United States, and moves to meet with the American government to set up a military alliance between the two nations. Back home, the literacy program continues, with a 99% literacy rate in the Black African population by 1955 the goal of the government. Schools are set up throughout South African for the sole purpose of achieving this goal. The framework needed to get the already literate black population into secondary school and university is underway, and plans to induct several thousand young men and women from native backgrounds are drawn up by the ANC with the government's full support. Those blacks that completed university in the 1930s and set up their own businesses, have since moved to help out in the program, by opening up new businesses in Transvaal and Free State, and helping to provide jobs for the native population of the country. The added goal of helping these people achieve economic parity with white South Africans is deemed a priority by the ANC, rationalizing that a better educated and better paid black population will ultimately help in expanding the economy overall. On the medical front, the introduction of modern medical facilities in poor black neighborhoods and cities, helps with the decreasing of the death rate in those regions by nearly 25%. Many have blamed the poor medical treatment of blacks as a leading cause for the nation's lagging population growth rate. Though South Africa is one of the leading nations in the world in terms of birth rate, many of these children are blacks, who often die before their first birthday. With increased support for the medical treatment of blacks, many expect the population of South Africa to increase to about 3.2% a year from an average of 1.7% a year. In preparation for such growth, cities are being expanded and infrastructure enhanced to cope with the population boom expected. Production of the Arend I jet fighter begins in the town of Welkom, where several aeroplane facilities have been constructed. 25 Arend I's are currently under construction at the Welkom facilities. The South African military conducts drills on the exception of a chemical and biological attack on their forces, especially focusing on amphibious attacks in the event of a Communist invasion from Great Britain. South Africa immediately protests the move by Brazil to establish military bases in Angola and Mozambique, with many South Africans coming to believe the move by Brazil to be in response to the South African invasion of Angola. Many South African politicians couldn't have hoped for a better move by Brazil, building a case to the people of South Africa that their military build-up at home was indeed worth it, and that it is only a matter of time until the Brazilians are constructing bases in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, cutting South Africa off from the rest of Africa. Many in the nation even begin to murmur that Brazil may have had a covert hand in the refusal of Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland to join the planned South African federation. In spite of these concerns, South African demobilizes much of its military for the time being, transitioning much of its active personnel into an active reserve branches known as the Commando Forces and Civilian Force forces; the Commando Forces serving as fully-trained light infantrymen training in rear defense, and the Civilian Forces; also fully-trained part-time reservists serving as conventional personnel during wartime.
 * ​Namibia: The development of additional nuclear reactors for the purpose of the SANEC's research continues. The government sponsors the construction of a series of military bases throughout Namibia, which are to serve as training grounds and weapons testing facilities, allowing the military wide berth in its operations without harming any civilians or farmland. Taking full advantage of this, the SADF moves a number of high-ranking officials to Windhoek to oversee the construction of a massive military base which will be the largest in the nation, and serve as the primary center of training and preparation for an attack by a foreign enemy.
 * Southern Angola: The Angolan government continues with its expansion of the educational and medical facilities in the nation, funding the construction of new railroads to aid in the expansion of the regions infrastructure and industrial sectors. The literacy rate of Angola, thanks to South African sponsorship, has increased from less than five percent, to more than fifteen percent. The failure of the Portuguese colonial government to facilitate the education of the African population of Angola, has allowed the ANC to foster within the native population, a deep form of patriotic fervor for the South African government, painting South Africa as a liberator and protector of blacks throughout the region. With the ANC serving as the face of the South African government in Angola, the natives come to view their government as a state looking out for their needs and desires, and helping them to better themselves through education. The introduction of modern technologies and the SADF's strong hand in reducing and outright preventing potentially deadly tribal conflicts, has served to build up a positive image of the South African regional government in Angola.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: Canada asks South Africa if they will join the Commonwealth of Nations, and if they will share some of South Africa's nuclear research in return for a some of the old Royal Navy that Canada will be unable to maintain (like battleships, cruisers, destroyers, subs, etc.)
 * South African Dip: South Africa agrees to the request. We will send Canada our latest research related to nuclear development, in return for ship from the old Royal Navy.
 * Iran: We recognize India, Burma and Pakistan as free nation and secretly start to encourage the Arab colonies to declares independence from Europe under a secular base to prevent a destabilization of the region. The Communist Party is banned with its members arrested. We start to educate our troops to use American weapons. No weapons are smuggled across the frontier with Pakistan but small quantity of oil is shipped across the frontier.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey expresses its interest in purchasing oil from Iran.
 * Canada: Canada is pleased to join the Pan-American Treaty Organization, and gratefully accepts the offer of American aid to deal with the British Exodus (sorry, wasn't able to post before last turn ended). Newfoundland joins the Confederation as the tenth province. Canada/UK Government in Exile formally renounces ties to Bermuda, Bahamas and other territories currently occupied by US, Brazil and Argentina. It has finally been determined that 570,980 British refugees have fled the People's Union of Britain to Canada, which puts a heavy strain on resources and the infrastructure of Canada. There are also four aircraft carriers, nine battleships and battlecruisers, 27 cruisers, 76 destroyers and other small craft, and 23 submarines. (Mods, are you okay with these numbers? It can go up to "millions" over a few years, and the number of ships can be reduced as well.). All the ships are made part of the Royal Canadian Navy for the current time, though it has been decided that most of the battleships and the older cruisers and destroyers will be sold, either to other countries or for scrap, as Canada can not even consider supporting all of them. (Not taking offers until Mods approve current numbers). The number of former RAF planes is totalled at roughly 103, and most of them were long range bombers due to the long distance between Canada and the UK. However, hundreds of trained pilots were part of the Exodus. At least 95,000 men of the pre-war British Army were part of the Exodus, with many units in the former British Empire, upwards of an addition 75,000, have pledged their loyalty to King George VI and the UK Government in Exile. Most of these units have been ordered to maintain their positions and carry their Imperial Defence duties until further notice. Several have been skirmishing with Communist supporters of the People's Union of Britain for months, and the commanders have agreed to work with whatever force in the colonies wishes to support the new Commonwealth of Nations. The Commonwealth now totals: Canada, Palestine (sorry for not replying sooner), Australia and the Union of Monarchist Indian States. And just to top off another busy month, Prime Minister Mackenzie King denounces the People's Union of Britain. (And who decided now was a great time to spell check? Edit conflicts are not fun >_<)
 * Dutch Dip: We ask to buy ships from Canada, specifically 3 destroyers and 1 battleship
 * Canadian Dip: As soon as we get the confirmation that we control all of them, we will sell some to you.
 * Argentinean Dip: We again request to purchase all of Canada's south Atlantic Islands for 3 million dollars.
 * Your numbers are good. ~ Scraw
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Mandatory Palestine: Large immigration of European Jews to the Holy Land continues (most notably British Jews, numbering 50,000, who are escaping the Communist takeover). The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Nationalist movements begin to attract more and more attention with many political parties supporting these movements, recently the actions of the British administration have been hit with accusations of corruption and ineffectiveness further increasing the size nationalist movements. Our military stands at 65,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. Following the 1945 referendum, the Palestine government announces that within a year (due to the transfer of power from British to Palestinian leadership) the nation will be interdependent. (Military/Economic)
 * Transjordan: Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many British expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 10,000. (Military/economic)
 * German Reich: A year after the war ended Germany continues to rebuild a devastated Rhineland using the large amounts of supplies and raw materials granted by the U.S.A. and Brazil. Life in western Germany is slowly starting to return to normal as the volunteer and drafted workers help rebuild large areas damaged or exploited by the French. Rationing is slowly easing up as resources are becoming more available to the general population, many in the army are getting released and returning to their families, lots of these decide to volunteer as well to help rebuild their nation. Major corporations move back into the Rhine particularly Krupp, which put the steel factories back to work in the Ruhr Valley. Industrialization in Silesia, Austria, and throughout the Rhineland continues. In an attempt to increase productivity Berlin in coordination with major corporations and Industrialists begins rebuilding the extensive Rhineland railway system and improving the system in the rest of the country. Exportation of Steel, weapons, consumer goods, and other products begins again mainly to the U.S.A, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, China, and Germany's allies in Europe. The first national elections in over a decade are held in Germany with the Centre Party, and Conservative Party pulling a surprising victory over the Social democrats. The Centre Party seeing that they were behind in the votes formed a common front with the Conservative party to form a coalition government in the final months of polling. Despite this the Social Democrats form an overwhelming 45% of the Reichstag giving the opposition a very strong voice in the government. Berlin, and Vienna quickly regain their status as the political hubs of the Reich. The intelectual circles of Vienna remain largely left wing, while Berlin remains a melting pot for political and social philosophies. The cultural explosion continues without an end in sight with thousands of new artists, dancers, and musicians popping up across the country. Jazz continues to pick up in popularity. large scale scientific research continues with the greatest minds in the Reich working on a variety of projects. The nuclear program continues full steam ahead, it is now believed that Germany with Brazilian and Swiss co-operation will have its first bomb in 1948. With the process for enriching of Uranium and plutonium fully developed the program is nearly at an end with the only thing left to do is develop a means of fission within a safe environment and to develop a stable container. Development of a large data processor begins as the German high command sees a need for faster devices (in effect I'm looking to make the first "computer." The actual first one was made during World War Two, so this is a bit late.). rocket engineering, and engineering development continues. The G 06 has its final kinks worked out and mass production of the rifle begins, with it slowly replacing the more outdated weapons of the armed forces. development of more modern smgs and machine guns begin as well. Mauser and the Austrian based Steyr Mannlicher agree to a merger of the two companies creating a massive new entity known as Mauser-Steyr, many unsatisfied with the new company, and its supposed policies move onto Hamburg founding Hekler & Koch, a smaller arms firm. Both firms are contracted by the German government to develop future assault rifles based on the G 06 model. Development of new fighters based on the old Me 262 known as the Me Hawk are near completion (similar to the AMerican Sabre.) as does the development of new tanks and APC. The Horten Ho 229 enters small scale production to be serve as a special part of the air force, while tweaking of its system continues to work out the kinks. The government decides to set up a military government in the recently reannexed provinces of what used to be Poland, establishing the Posen-Prussia District. Berlin and offers Czechoslovakia them a free trade agreement (Mod Response please.)
 * ​Posen-Prussia District: With Berlin granted total authority to the occupying forces a new administration is set up. All Germans living within the area are granted German citizenship at once while Polish are issued resident cards, stripping them of their nationality. However, it is decided that those who can prove their will to learn German and live within a German state will be granted German citizenship. Those deemed docile are permitted to remain within the Reich. However, those who are considered restive are slowly collected to be expelled across the border into the Soviet Union. German families who had lands taken from them after World War 1 are granted half of their original lands, while the rest is set aside for settlement by Germans coming from the East. With the trickle of Germans slowly increasing many are settled in the districts, and provided with supplies and government benefits until an active economy can be restored to the region. Military checkpoints are set up to keep the conquered Poles under control and to protect the German civilians moving into the area.
 * Belgium: Following a war that has been started in 1941. We're shocked for Poland, as they came up being collapsed by two strong nations. Meanwhile, the Wallonia is hopefully to made us living. Some structures to be build there, also military.  But hopes for having a navy is lost to our capital. The war is over and we really thank the Germany that saved Belgium to come in Wallonia. We shift the capital city into Liege. and Government says Brussels is under administrative with Netherlands and Belgium, doubts if keeping Brussels a capital city will be major threat to Wallonia.
 * Switzerland's government begins to implement some policies to both counter and go into the nuclear age. Most cantons are proposing that houses should have bomb shelters able to withstand indirect attack by there new bombs. Near Lucens scientists are experimenting with uranium and looking into enriching a small amount for testing and experimental uses for the possibility of future energy uses.
 * India: India continues to improve its infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built mostly on rivers. Imperial Highway 5 is under construction and routes between Delhi and Mumbai. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. The United States of India is now proclaimed, with Rajendra Prasad becomes the first president of India, as well the Indian parliament and Indian Armed Forces becomes independent from Britain under control of Indian government and reformed administrative divisions by transforming the former British Raj provinces into states of India.
 * Netherlands: Mil and eco. Jan de Wit is reelected as raadspensionaris. The French in Brussels have equal rights, although we notice that some want to leave the country for Belgium. They are allowed to leave.
 * Australia: Ben Chiefly is elected Prime Minister. Australia continues to build up the military. Economy is improved. The project of a railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is begun.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Phillip Ferdinand comes to power after a close vote. After Ferdinand talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Ferdinand also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Philipe Ferdinand saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. The last offensive takes place against Lisbon, hoping to topple the Fascist regime in the final battle. Meanwhile income from the mining industry rises, and tech modernization continues. Spain asks United States if they could purchase American technology, to help modernize the nations technical level. The monarchist party also starts to gain followers, with almost 34% of the populations either registered or supporting the party. Spain purchases Congo, a former colony of the Belgian rump state. Meanwhile, troops are sent to Angola and Mozambique, to help protect the nation from foreign threats and to strengthen the ties between the natives and the colonists living there. Meanwhile, coal and raw materials are started to be exploited in the Northern region of Spain. Slowly this generates more and more profit, with the leaders keeping a close eye on the production levels. Machine guns, based off of the FM 24 and FM 29 models, are produced at a rapid pace, and are sent onto the international market. Aircraft similar to the CW-77 fighters are also started to be researched into, with plans coming to start producing them in about a year and a half. [Mil/Econ Turn (Nation/Vassals)]
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * Polish Dip: We ask the Soviet Union to allow Poland, with its new borders, to be independent of Soviet politics and culture but still in Soviet influence economically. We are also Communist and would like to be a satelite state, and would like to be allied, but we are different culturally, religiously, and linguistically and would like to remain independent for that reason.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi Economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues.With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The Military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations.

''' In India, there is still war. Pakistan invades India with the intent of expanding into Muslim regions such as Punjab and Sind. In the east, Bengal also declares independence, supported by Burma and Pakistan. Burma and Bengal invade Assam. '''

Eric, you can't just say there's no more war without putting up a fight.

'''I was wondering, it doesn't make much sense for Pakistan to be invading Punjab and Sind. Karachi, the first capital of Pakistan was literally in Sind and Punjab forms the heartland of Pakistan. The 'notsoimportant' provinces were the Frontier Province and Balochistan and it was only the latter that eventually started fighting for independence back in 1970s. '''

The Commonwealth of Nations proposes a solution to the Indian conflict: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations_(Axis_vs_Allies:_Resurrection_Map_Game)

'''I personally don't see a Pakistan without Punjab and Sind, LOL. They were the two main things in Pakistan, it's sort of like taking England and Scotland out of UK. BTW, I doubt Burma would have any intention to join the Commonwealth but depends on Mods..'''

Ok, I've fixed it so it is a bit more plausible.

Seems much more plausible now.

'''I was thinking that Pakistan didn't yet control the regions mentioned. It is still early in the war.'''

''' Ceylon declares independence as Sri Lanka. '''

'''Sri lanka is an artificial state forcing two ethnic groups to work under British protection. There should be a war going on to the Tamils and Sinhalas.'''

 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. This profit gained from expanding these industries led to a general mindset developed to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry upon which proved quite beneficial is maintaining Turkey self-sufficient whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia were largely in poverty. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established basically acted as a police to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and was directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as to serve as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted.  The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. However, the technological support that had already been provided was considered enough to bring about mass changes in the Turkish naval forces. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was disbanded and quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters still maintain their superiority over the Turkish fighters for which orders for production are not given yet, and the size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 450 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Russia and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as the German rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists make minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. The project, however, continues scarcely making much gains, though. Turkey starts influencing the island of Cyprus [Turn Two of Six]. Meanwhile, the Turks fund independence movements in Iraq. Moral support is given to Pakistan in their fight against India. Meanwhile, thousands of Turks migrate to South Africa to form part of the South African work force. 
 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * Argentinean Dip: We offer to have a trade agreement and exchange embassies.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey accepts.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * Argentinean Dip: We offer to exchange embassies with China and offer military aid.
 * In the United States there is military buildup. Thanks to Argentina, the US begins to make jet fighters. On March 12, the Manhattan Project finishes the first operational nuke. Construction on a second one continues. Also, thanks to Germany, America begins to make more advanced rockets and rocket launchers. Scientists begin to look into rocket propelled combat aircraft. Also, heavy tanks. There is buildup in the economy and industry. The US also invites more nations to join PATO. The Territory of Guam begins the process to statehood, as does the Territory of Hawaii. There is also discussion about what to do with Samoa. It is too far from Guam or Hawaii to be part of either state but too small to be its own state. America continues to send aid to Canada, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. As the situation in Mexico worsens, many high ranking officials of the military advise occupying Mexico outright instead of only sending peacekeeping and military advisors. The United States officially recognizes Pakistan, Bengal, Burma, and Sri Lanka.
 * In the Bahamas, a Governor is chosen to rule over the islands. There is economic buildup and fortification and subsequent buildup of defense in case of a dangerous situation arising with Britain.
 * The Republic of Haiti remains under military occupation led by military governor Dwight D. Eisenhower. As such, there is military buildup as American forces are moved into the nation. Haiti proposes that the Dominican Republic join in a union with them in order to maintain peace on the island of Hispaniola.
 * The Commonwealth of the Philippines develops its infrastructure and its economy. The Philippine Independence Party begins to become popular as many are opposed to remaining an American Commonwealth. Others think that the Philippines need to stay with America due to its economic dependency on the nation.
 * German Dip: Berlin requests German acension to PATO.
 * Iran: continue to supply Pakistan and Arab nationalists in secret. The Shah start to considering joining PATO but stay quiet. The army is build up with American support while foritification of the Soviet frontier and continously reinforced.
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues its development particularly of its Industrial ability. The population of Brazil reaches about 47.5 million with a major population boom occuring. The Brazilian Navy in particularly begins to further Develop as it now fields a relatively large fleet of various capital ships and a large auxiliary fleet. The Brazilian fleet in general is able to expand its power projection cababilities significantly especially its ability to deploy troops rather than just troops. The Admiralty admits to being able to ship about 50,000 Brazilian Marines with little or no issues in a state of peacetime and in a geared up state of war nearly double this number. The Brazilian Army is able to deploy heavily as well but the general armed forces size remains the same size. The Brazilian air force continues to expand as well adding more F-270's to the Air fleet. The Brazilian economy continues to develop with a 6.7% growth this year predicted but a certain economic condition revoling around debt potentially causing issues for the expanded growth. The Brazilian industries particularly in arms, steel, and shipbuilding continue to expand significantly, However, Bauxite (aluminum) continues to be an expanding industry and Brazil now officially works its way into a top spot of Bauxite mining and refining into aluminum. The Brazilian government, however, levels a heavier control in order to prevent flooding the market with it and driving its price down. Manganese continues to be developed as a mining industry as well with it being used to Produce Stainless steel cheaply and without major issues some other nations have in production. The Brazilian arms industry continues development of a rifle based on the STG 44 but due to some design considerations the research is forced to start from scratch. The Brazilian military begins designs on a new submarine. The Air force and army forces are deployed to the island territories in tbe Carribbean. The Brazilian Highway network taking some cues fro the German system continues to develop with many major coastal roadways and highways now completed. The Railway system has also expanded significantly since the 1930's with many railways pushing into the interior now.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela begins to develop industrially further as its oil refining capabilities expand significantly. The Venezuelan military develops a reserve of forces about 250,000 in order to mobilize a bit further in case of war. The Moderate industrialization of Venezuela continues with commodities industry being built up in a rather quick fashion. The Venezuelan nation begins to develop roadways and railways to connect with Brazil.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The confederations Bauxite and Manganese mining continues to develop significantly due to Brazilian immigration and Investment. The Confed in general show notable economic increases as its GDP increases by a good amount. The territory looks to have Brazilian majority in a good amount of areas now.
 * Argentinean Dip: We propose having war games next year in Brazil to increase our military readiness and have some real world training. We have several old cargo ships from the late 1880's that can be used for target practice. We also believe having aggression training with our new jet fighters between the aircraft and between propeller driven planes and jet fighters to increase effectiveness.
 * Spain proposes to make the military exercises jointly run for all for all of PATO to keep their militaries in shape.
 * Brazil Dip: We agree with both and offer to host a joint wargames with Spain and Argentina off the coast of Santos, and the full on PATO wargames to be help in the Caribbean or the North Atlantic.
 * France: With the war drawing close to an end, the French army holds in the Ruhr and Rhineland abusing it to power their current war machine. Though peace had been met during the time they had been waiting for the terms to be hashed out and the official treaty to be signed. While the French military had been sitting and waiting, the Germans used this opportunity to launch an offensive to reclaim the lost industry in the Ruhr and Rhineland. The Germans are successful in pushing back the French our if major areas, though total ejection of the French of the Ruhr was predicted to take another three months. With the war officially ending with the terms affirmed between the French and German politics, those who served and saw combat are advised to head home and live the rest of their lives with their families. Meanwhile those who did not see combat are brought into the fore front of the military, along with the reserves moving into full active duty. The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, air craft, and naval vessels. With the reserves being planned to be raised. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. We are willing to join the PATO organization as friendly nations such as Spain and Belgium have joined it. (Military/Economy turn)
 * ​Btw LL. Your war with Germany was more or less a defeat. You lost potential allies which were UK [Now Communist], Germany [Hates you] and Belgium [Literally a German puppet state]. You suffered territorial loss in Indochina and suffered the loss of thousands of soldiers which should make the people hate you, you know.. But you managed to occupy the industrial hearland of Germany and then? You accepted peace for inflation money. I am not even sure if you're in the condition to maintain an active force of 2 million and an even larger reserve force tbh.
 * Romania wants to buy 20 French tanks.
 * Canada: With the refugee crisis mostly dealt with, plans are now made to improve the new Canadian Armed Forces, namely by de-mobilizing and selling many of the costly ships, while improving the few Canada will keep. Canada will keep two Battleships and the four aircraft carriers, but only 20 of the cruisers will be kept, and all the pre-World War 1 destroyers are sold, leaving 34, and 15 submarines. A fleet of 2 carriers, the two battleships, 7 cruisers and 15 destroyers (including all 6 of the completed Provincial Class ships) are prepared for a "World Trip," showing the flag and showing that though the British Empire may be gone, the Commonwealth, and Canada's commitment to it, is still strong. The Army is going to be maintained at a level of 70,000 troops for the foreseeable future, but Canada is refraining for getting new rifles/machine guns until the PATO ammunition is standardized (aka, we agree with Brazil there). Canada beings planning of new weapons to equip the armed forces, and asks for help from other nations, namely Germany, the US, Brazil and South Africa if they will help, and establishes the Commonwealth Defence Bureau (CDB) to these ends. We offer one battleship and three destroyers to the Netherlands for a few million dollars, and agree to sell the rights to the southern Atlantic Islands to Argentina for $3 million if we can use the Falklands as a military base for the next 20 years. Most infrastructure funding is devoted to housing the refugees, with another 25-30,000 arriving every six months from the former UK and other war-torn areas of Europe. Once again, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communists.
 * I personally think it needs to settled with the Moderators on whether the colonies are loyal to the Motherland or the Crown. Spain recently conquered Portugal and the colonies have remained loyal to their new masters, showing they care more of Motherland than Crown. Same was the case with the French colonies and Vichy France. Should be the same with the British Communists. Personally, I'd say that neither the Canadian Commonwealth nor the British Communists have the resources to control the colonies for a long period of time as independence is inevitable. But the 'weaker' colonies for now should be loyal to the Motherland, not the Crown. Basically, stop selling British colonies. That'd be like Taiwan selling land on mainland China. 
 * The idea here is not necessarily the selling of the colonies to other powers, but establishing Canada/Uk Government in Exile as the ACTUAL successor to the British Empire versus the People's Union of Britain. It may not be totally "legal" to sell the islands, but because I am saying I'm doing it, and other nations are buying it from me, technically they are supporting that idea that Canada is now the centre of the former British Empire. And these are small Islands: not the colonies like Nigeria and Kenya, etc. that I'm selling. I've already offered them the chance to become Dominions like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa with all the rights that entail, and they can then determine their own political destinies and if they will join the new Commonwealth of Nations.
 * I think what is going on here is that Canada is leading the effort of creating the Commonwealth from post-British states that are now becoming independent. Also the monarchy and former government has moved into Canada.
 * The United States agrees to aid Canada.
 * Romania wants to buy 1 Canadian ship, a cruiser.
 * USGN: Flanders is annexed as the provinces of Vlaanderen, Antwerpen and Zuid-Brabant. Mil and eco. We propose that Germany and us use the same military equipment(Nk proposed this to me himself, he also had a name for it). The Dutch East Indies are obviously sold to Australia, but, as we agreed upon per treaty, we keep the city of Batavia, military bases on several islands, and we also keep access to oil. After the annexation, the country is renamed to the Verenigde Staten van Groot-Nederland(United States of Greater Netherlands).
 * Batavia: Mil and eco.
 * German Dip: Germany agrees to the proposal. However, Germany proposes that the process be done over a period of five years to give time for development of the mutual armed forces.
 * Mandatory Palestine: Large immigration of European Jews to the Holy Land continues (most notably British Jews, numbering 50,000, who are escaping the Communist takeover). The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Our military stands at 65,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. Following the 1945 referendum, the Palestine government announces independence as the Commonwealth of Jordania. We ask any major western nation to help modernising and arming our military in exchange for military bases in our country as well as access to our nation's Uranium reserves (Military/Economic). 
 *  ​'  Transjordan:'  Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many British expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 15,000. The nation of Transjordan decides to join the Commonwealth of Jordania. (Military/Economic)
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey expresses its interest in expanding upon relations with Palestine and providing them with military aid. Not even interested in uranium, but attracted by the military base offer; the Turks are willing to accept the whole deal nevertheless which includes military aid in return for military bases and uranium.
 * Jordanian Dip: We accept the deal and hope this agreement will lead to a long a fruitful relationship between our two nations.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey is delighted by the acceptance of the offer by Jordania and mutually feels that co-operation between Turkey and Jordania must reach new heights!
 * German Dip: Berlin expresses interest in opening relations with the new Commonwealth of Jordania, and the possibility of extending German trade to the middle eastern country.
 * Jordanian Dip: The Commonwealth agrees to extent trade rights with Germany, as well as allowing Germany to establish an embassy in Jerusalem.
 * The United States offers to send aid to the new nation.
 * German Reich: A year after the war ended Germany continues to rebuild a devastated Rhineland using the large amounts of supplies and raw materials granted by the U.S.A. and Brazil. Life in western Germany is slowly starting to return to normal as the volunteer and drafted workers help rebuild large areas damaged or exploited by the French. Rationing is slowly easing up as resources are becoming more available to the general population, many in the army are getting released and returning to their families, lots of these decide to volunteer as well to help rebuild their nation. Major corporations move back into the Rhine particularly Krupp, which put the steel factories back to work in the Ruhr Valley. Industrialization in Silesia, Austria, and throughout the Rhineland continues. In an attempt to increase productivity Berlin in coordination with major corporations and Industrialists begins rebuilding the extensive Rhineland railway system and improving the system in the rest of the country. Exportation of Steel, weapons, consumer goods, and other products begins again mainly to the U.S.A, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, China, and Germany's allies in Europe. The first national elections in over a decade are held in Germany with the Centre Party, and Conservative Party pulling a surprising victory over the Social democrats. The Centre Party seeing that they were behind in the votes formed a common front with the Conservative party to form a coalition government in the final months of polling. Despite this the Social Democrats form an overwhelming 45% of the Reichstag giving the opposition a very strong voice in the government. Berlin, and Vienna quickly regain their status as the political hubs of the Reich. The intelectual circles of Vienna remain largely left wing, while Berlin remains a melting pot for political and social philosophies. The cultural explosion continues without an end in sight with thousands of new artists, dancers, and musicians popping up across the country. Jazz continues to pick up in popularity. large scale scientific research continues with the greatest minds in the Reich working on a variety of projects. The nuclear program continues full steam ahead, it is now believed that Germany with Brazilian and Swiss co-operation will have its first bomb in 1948. With the process for enriching of Uranium and plutonium fully developed the program is nearly at an end with the only thing left to do is develop a means of fission within a safe environment and to develop a stable container. Development of a large data processor begins as the German high command sees a need for faster devices ( in effect im looking to make the first "computer" the actual first one was made during world war two, so this is a bit late.). rocket engineering, and engineering development continues. The G 06 has its final kinks worked out and mass production of the rifle begins, with it slowly replacing the more outdated weapons of the armed forces. development of more modern smgs and machine guns begin as well. Mauser and the Austrian based Steyr Mannlicher agree to a merger of the two companies creating a massive new entity known as Mauser-Steyr, many unsatisfied with the new company, and its supposed policies move onto Hamburg founding Hekler & Koch, a smaller arms firm. Both firms are contracted by the German government to develop future assault rifles based on the G 06 model. Development of new fighters based on the old Me 262 known as the Me NT 20. Realizing that to get the kind of tank they want, Kraus-Maffei and Krupp puts a jet engine into the overall design of the Panzer V a new medium tank that proves a superior model over previous ones ( something of a hybrid of the otl Panther and the British Centurion tank, with out the flaws of either). While not quite where the Government wants it is a massive improvement over previous tanks and the government orders production of the new tank to begin. The Panzer V is widely recognized as the first step in revolutionizing Tank warfare by many in the German military community. The Horten Ho 229 enters small scale production to be serve as a special part of the air force, while tweaking of its system continues to work out the kinks. The government decides to set up a military government in the recently re-annexed provinces of what used to be Poland, establishing the Posen-Prussia District. Berlin and offers Czechoslovakia them a free trade agreement (Mod Response, please.) Germany continues to expand its trade with Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. In secret Germany offers the Saudis and Turks the STG 44 to help them improve their military strength as well as older tanks and jets which are still years ahead of anything the other middle eastern countries may have. Some 2000 German volunteers also offer their services as advisors in exchange for boarding and German standard military salaries with benefits.
 * ​Posen-Prussia District: With Berlin granted total authority to the occupying forces a new administration is set up. All Germans living within the area are granted German citizenship at once while Poles are issued resident cards, stripping them of their nationality. However, it is decided that those who can prove their will to learn German and live within a German state will be granted German citizenship. Those deemed docile are permitted to remain within the Reich. However, those who are considered restive are slowly collected to be expelled across the border into the Soviet Union. German families who had lands taken from them after World War 1 are granted half of their original lands, while the rest is set aside for settlement by Germans coming from the East. With the trickle of Germans slowly increasing many are settled in the districts, and provided with supplies and government benefits until an active economy can be restored to the region. Military checkpoints are set up to keep the conquered Poles under control and to protect the German civilians moving into the area.
 * Turkish - German Diplomacy: Although Turkey expresses its disapproval of the German desire to join the PATO and of the fact that Germany has slowly reverted to its traditional opposition to Communism, we push these aside and accept the purchase of StG 44 rifles in order to replace the 1934 era German rifles were which being used. The German older tanks and jets, however, are rejected due to the already existing flow of tanks and aircraft from the Soviet Union.
 * German Dip: Berlin promises that whiel it is joining PATO it is out of a need for self defence only, and The ambassador to TUrkey is upset at the rejection of German machines stating that while turkey does have Soviet tech it is not on par with the German arms.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: The diplomat apologizes and accepts the tanks as well as the aircraft.
 * Dutch Dip: We offer to contribute scientists to the nuclear program.
 * Switzerland begins early work on making jet planes. Arbalète is set up as the company in charge of that project and will co-operate with German manufacturer Messerschmitt for a fighter-bomber (see and do fully domestic work on a potential fighter plane (see pic here). Switzerland also begins initial work on developing a domestically-produced assault rifle, though may purchase some elsewhere.
 * Romania wants to buy ten Swiss jets.
 * Belgium: After a slight contact with Netherlands and gained a loss of cities. Wallonia is the rump state and under German protection. In case the Government wasn't officially surprised for the people in Brussels that wants to leave the country for Belgium. But he hopes Liege will be the capital city. He shows that the mistake was officially by following the French forces to occupy Germany, but he admits it was his fault.
 * Argentina: The Argentinean Armed Forces send troops to replace the British soldiers in the Falklands, Saint Helena, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands. The Falklands are renamed the Malvinas, their Spanish name. The first two submarines are laid down, and another tank landing ship is laid down. The corvettes are completed and launched. Another two destroyers are laid down for the Coast Guard. They are technically cutters, only having a single 100mm cannon, five heavy machine guns, and two 40 mm anti-aircraft guns onboard. The Air Force receives another 12 fighter jets and five heavy bombers, while the Navy begins trials with a navalized version, with two being delivered for testing. Joint work with Brazil and Japan continues on a nuclear weapons program. Work on a helicopter by private enterprise continues. Economic development begins, with the city of La Plata, Comodoro Rivadavia, and Bahía Blanca being designated zones for foreign development with reduced taxes. Buenos Aires is designated a Free Port, cutting tariffs for importers on certain goods, with the exception of the Communist United Kingdom and South Africa. The government bans Argentinean businesses from doing business in South Africa and freezes banks from having association with South African banks, or giving them loans. Work begins on an assault rifle to replace the older bolt action rifles and increase firepower. Work continues on the hospitals, with the hospitals around the nation being 75% complete. Doctors begin to return to Argentina with new knowledge, and there is talks of opening a medical hospital in Buenos Aires. Ground is broken on a rail system in Cordoba and Buenos Aires. Oil exploration begins in the northern provinces. Influence continues on Paraguay. (Turn Two of Six)
 * Uruguay: Another two destroyers are received by the Navy. The government continues linking their transportation infrastructure with that of Argentina. The Army begins war games with the Argentinean Army. Montevideo is designated a Free Port as well, with hopes to increase foreign investment. Uruguayan banks are banned from doing business with South Africa as are Uruguayan businesses.
 * India: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow faster and appear 500,000 people each year to become India the most populous country on Earth followed by Population Growth Act of 1946, as a few new farms are built mostly on rivers. Imperial Highway 5 is now completed and routes between Delhi and Mumbai. Next one on Indian highway plans, Imperial Highway 6 and 7 is under construction. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. Another six destroyers and one battleship are built by Indian Navy. After the Indian Civil War resolution in Treaty of Delhi, the Indian area now controls all of OTL India and started an project called Partition of India, in when all Muslims lived in India shall move to Pakistan or Bengal and all Hindus and Sikhs lived in Pakistan or Bengal shall move to India.
 * The war is not over. PAKISTAN WILL RULE THE WORLD.
 * Australia: Australia continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved. A new railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is being built.
 * Australian Dip: We ask Micronesia if they want to unite with Australia. (Mod Response needed, if Micronesia is already part of Australia, feel free to cross out.)
 * Sorry man most of the islands in the region are either Japanese or American.
 * South Africa: The South African government and the government of Southern Rhodesia begin formal discussions on the matter to political intergration. With the collapse of the previous British government, the two nations begin working together to develop a long-term solution to the matter of governance. A group of South African politicians is sent to Salisbury to begin talks with the Southern Rhodesia government. (Turn 1 of 3) Elsewhere, the ANC begins to demand politicial representation in the government, following a violent protest against growing ANC power in the nation by white South Africans. Led by Daniel François Malan, several Afrikaner politicians, businessmen, and industrialists attempt to get the Smuts government to sign into law apartheid, which would strangle ANC power in the government and isolate them from gaining ground in major cities. However, with the wealth and power built up in the black African population over the years, the ANC is able to form a unified front against the Malan-led opposition, leading to a stand-off between the two parties. With the threat of an all-out civil war in the nation, and Smuts' time in government running out, the Prime Minister moves to mediate the two forces. With blacks holding the clear majority in the nation, and no longer as controllable as they had been in the past, the South African government formulates a solution that will satisfy both sides. The initial plan is to give blacks their own homelands within the nation, while turning the major cities of Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Durban into "neutral zones", where both races will be allow equal rights. The two sides enter into negotiations, but make it clear that the government proposition is but a temporary solution. Until a permanent solution is devised, the African National Congress and the National Party of South Africa agree to run the nation as usual until the time comes to implement the new idea. For the time being, they focus on the Argentine embargo and the Brazilian military bases along the South African border. South Africa welcomes more than hundred thousand refugees from Great Britain to the nation, providing them with homes and South African citizenship. The action angers many Afrikaners, who fear that Smuts is attempting to swamp the Afrikaner population with British immigrants to overwhelm them with the higher birth rate of the British refugees. Nuclear research with the aid of the United States continues, with the SANEC working to develop a breakthrough. Economists project GDP growth for this year to be 4.4%, with the Argentine sanctions serving as a minor hit to the economy. The population growth for the year of 1946 was 4.3%, more than expected by the government, though enhanced by the influx of Turkish immigrants. Thanks to the greater degree of medical care provided to expecting mothers in the first year of their children's lives, the survival rate of infant children in South Africa has doubled. Elements of the South African Army set up military bases in Southern Angola as a deterrent to potential Brazilian aggressive. Many South Africans believe that it was too coincidental Portuguese-speaking Brazil set up military bases in Portuguese Africa so soon after South Africa attacked Portuguese-speaking Angola, and believe that the military bases may be a set up for something bigger. A naval base is set up in South African-controlled Cabinda, where it will serve South African warship operating in the Atlantic and the Bright of Bifra for extended periods of time. A military base and township spring up around the naval base to service the need of the military personnel in the enclave. The South African Navy begins a series of naval exercises in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean as part of a series of wargames in the defense of South Africa. Though the antiquated Argentine Navy isn't a major threat to South Africa, the Brazilians are the focus of the wargames. The SAS Rhodes returns from the United States, and Prime Minister Smuts quickly turns his attention to the race issue. 20 Atlas Arends are constructed for the air force, and sent to two air bases outside of Cape Town and Windhoek. The air force is also given 25 Atlas Aasvoël I's, which will be the last of the aircraft to be produced in South Africa. Any additional orders will be exclusively for export. The parliament of South Africa votes to annex Basutoland and Swaziland, leaving them as semi-independent union states, but under the aegis of South African governence. Troops are sent to occupy both nations, and set up new governments in their territories. With few military resources and little in the way of organized resistance, both states fall into line quickly as the SADF troops march into the two capital cities of Maseru and Mbabane. Also, the Seychelles and Mauritius are annexed by South Africa, which the government wishes to convert into an naval bases center for trade ships and warships passing through the region. 1,600 troops from the South African Marines are sent to occupy the islands, and serve as the permanent military garrison for the two island groups.


 * Namibia: The Namibian Defense Forces construct a series of anti-aircraft batteries along the coastline of the nation, and sent a request in to the SADF headquarters for a shipment of jet fighters to serve in an interceptor role. Likewise, the potential for a third aircraft carrier to defense the coastline of Namibia and Southern Angola is proposed by the NDF commanders. Focus on nuclear research continues with the SANEC division in Namibia, with more U-352 produced by the research group for testing. Co-operation with the United States on the development of nuclear technology helps greatly with technical issues in South Africa, and the push for a breakthrough. Economic growth for the year of 1946 is 1.7%, stable growth given the downturn in immigration to Namibia, but not concerning to the government.
 * Southern Angola: The development of a public infrastructure worthy of an aspiring state seeking modern status continues quickly, with money pouring in from numerous sources allowing the construction of factories for employment, schools for education, and hospitals for medical care. The literacy rate of the state since South Africa's invasion has increased to a total of 19%, up from 6% in 1940. With the ANC in charge of the program, many have a chance at becoming literate and employable. An industrial complex in the capital of Namibe begins, seeking to turn the city into a center of industry for Angolans, and churn out modern goods and luxuries for the world market. As in South Africa, the introduction of modern healthcare as seen a spike in the survival rate of mothers and infants in southern Angola, with this years growth projected at 3.3% with the increased medical aid provided to the union state.
 * Indian Ocean territory is going to an Indian state, your not annexing it -Feud
 * GEACOP: The joint GEACOP-Brazillian nuclear project continues for its 5th year. The war with the French ends, with Vietnam entering GEACOP. All members improve military and industry. Japan elects a new PM. The Kangde empror of Imperial China has a stroke, but survives. Work on planes in West Papua continues. The Manchurian oil wells are fully rebuilded
 * Ecuador: A coup occurs in Ecuador by Carlos Melendez and his followers. He begins by expanding the military as well as the infrastructure in the Andes. We ask for an alliance with Mexico, and we ask for a trade agreement with Brazil. We also ask to purchase weapons from the countries recovering from the world war, and will purchase them. Our main exports are Bananas, Cacao, Fish, Coffee, and Sugar, but we begin exploring the rainforests in the east.
 * Spain offers to sell FM-24 and FM-29 machine guns to Ecuador for a reasonable price.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Phillip Ferdinand comes to power after a close vote. After Ferdinand talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Ferdinand also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Philipe Ferdinand saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. The last offensive takes place against Lisbon, hoping to topple the Fascist regime in the final battle. Meanwhile income from the mining industry rises, and tech modernization continues. Spain asks United States if they could purchase American technology, to help modernize the nations technical level. The monarchist party also starts to gain followers, with almost 34% of the populations either registered or supporting the party. Spain purchases Congo, a former colony of the Belgian rump state. Meanwhile, troops are sent to Angola and Mozambique, to help protect the nation from foreign threats and to strengthen the ties between the natives and the colonists living there. Meanwhile, coal and raw materials are started to be exploited in the Northern region of Spain. Slowly this generates more and more profit, with the leaders keeping a close eye on the production levels. Machine guns, based off of the FM 24 and FM 29 models, are produced at a rapid pace, and are sent onto the international market. Aircraft similar to the CW-77 fighters are also started to be researched into, with plans coming to start producing them in about a year. [Mil/Econ Turn (Nation/Vassals)]
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * Ethiopia: Seeing the collapse of the British Empire we seize British Somaliland stating ethnic reasons. We add the province to the Somali region of Ethiopia and tell the people that you are finally free from the Europeans. We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * We do not recognize Sri Lanka instead support Tamil independence.
 * France: With the war drawing close to an end, the French army holds in the Ruhr and Rhineland abusing it to power their current war machine. Though peace had been met during the time they had been waiting for the terms to be hashed out and the official treaty to be signed. While the French military had been sitting and waiting, the Germans used this opportunity to launch an offensive to reclaim the lost industry in the Ruhr and Rhineland. The Germans are successful in pushing back the French our if major areas, though total ejection of the French of the Ruhr was predicted to take another three months. With the war officially ending with the terms affirmed between the French and German politics, those who served and saw combat are advised to head home and live the rest of their lives with their families. Meanwhile those who did not see combat are brought into the fore front of the military, along with the reserves moving into full active duty. The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, air craft, and naval vessels. With the reserves being planned to be raised. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. (Military/Economy turn)

''' The war continues in India. Pakistan expands to its OTL borders. '''
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. The profit gained from expanding these industries led to the development of a general mindset to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry which proved quite beneficial in maintaining Turkey self-sufficient for minerals whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia was largely in rural. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established which acted as a police force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and were directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted. The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters which were generally cheaper were still imported and orders for production of the Yenilmez Y-1 were not given. The total size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 500 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German StG 44 Rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Soviet and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as STG 44 rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists made minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. The project, however, continued scarcely making much gains, however. With rising Turkish influence in Cyprus and the Commonwealth having handed it over to Turkey, Turkish forces landed on the island and in a coup d'état, and brought forth Turk control over Cyprus. In order to further expand Turk influence, Turkey continued funding independence groups in Iraq and influencing such groups to lead a coup d'état over the weak Monarchy [Turn Five of Ten]. Along the same time, with the signing of the agreement with Jordania; Turkey soon set out to establish military bases within the nation and ships made their way to Jordania in order to provide armaments and with the sale of Panzer IV Tanks, StG 44s and jet fighters from Germany; general opinion regarding Germany developed. Regardless of that, people still chose to rather immigrate to South Africa.
 * ​Turkish Republic of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Prime Minister, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Prime Minister had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Prime Minister announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece.
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues to develop industrially with it officially nearing Japan's level of Industrial development. This is a momentous occasion for the Brazilian nation as it has gained ever growing international prestige and recognition as well as a new ability to project power. The Nation itself begins to consider itself a developing Great Power and due to its PATO status. The Brazilian industries particularly in shipbuilding, and Aeronautics develops significantly with civilian aerial development taking off heavily. The Brazilian army officially produces its new tank, the EH-20 Panther Tank. The Tank has a much better meneuverability than the Viper variants and maintains a better ability to hold up the Shock Doctrine of the Brazilian Army. This Tank maintains a heavy gun as it uses a 90mm gun and it maintains its 5 man crew compliment. The Brazilian air force begins to develop its next generation fighter looking to upgrade from its current air fleet. The Remainder continues remain as is but the long range bomber squadrons are modified to have better fuel efficiency. The Brazilian Marine corps officially modifies the EH-20 tanks and EE-01A2 tanks as marine tanks as well with the medium tanks being amphibious to some degree now. Other mechanized vehicles as well are developed particularly armed troop carriers and IFV's both of which have some moderate Amphibious ability. The Brazilian military sends the top of the line of its equipment to its bases in Spanish Africa and also ships off various landing equipments to them as well in order to give them amphibious landing capabilities. The Brazilian Navy lays down two new light carriers with the expressed purpose of sending them into overseas bases. The Navy also lays down 5 new destroyers for the fleet. The New Submarine designs continue as well. Brazilian nation also begins further attempts to integrate the guyanas as another state in later years. Brazil officially deploys troops to the South Atlantic islands.
 * Venezuela: Mil/Eco
 * Guyanan Confed: Mil/Eco
 * Argentinean Dip: We request that Brazil deploy troops to some of the south Atlantic Islands due to the small size of our armed forces.
 * Brazil Dip: Agreed.
 * South Africa: The South African government reorganizes the manner in which parliament seats are won in elections. Rural electoral districts are resized, covering larger areas of land, lowering the number of seats gained in rural areas, while increasing the number of seats in urban areas. Some in the National Party believe this to be a ploy by the Smuts government to weaken their electoral gains in expectation of the 1948 elections. Negotiations between the NP and ANC breakdown after only a few months of talking. Jan Smuts secretly promises the ANC political power in the future, believe that racial integration of South Africa is inevitable and must be facilitated while he still has time to do so. Many white South Africans not of Afrikaner descent, agree with Smuts position, understanding that in a pragmatic setting, one can not forever keep 90% of the population disenfranchised and outside of the economy of South Africa. With the political and economical gains achieved by the ANC, as well as the increased education and economic independence of many black Africans, has meant white-minority rule will be weakened and will be an unsustainable option for South Africa. Afrikaners led by D.F. Malan campaign to get the votes needed for the 1948 elections, but find themselves in a losing political war. The South African Navy conducts combat exercises off of the coast of northern Angola, moving south before docking at Namibe. Combat exercises across Angola take place as the government of South Africa seeks to affirm its willingness to defend its land against potential Brazilian invasion. The construction of a nation-wide highway for civilian use begins, with plans for a series of highways connecting South Africa's largest cities underway. Likewise, highways connecting the cities of South Africa to those in Namibia and Angola are also on the table. The SADF begins work on a new tank, seeking to combine the technological support gained from overseas to the military needs to the nation. 35 new Atlas Arends are constructed and distributed across the nation's airbases, ten being sent to the island of Mauritius to serve as the air wing of the local garrison there. The literacy program continues with much success, with several tens of thousands of black Africans learning how to read and write. Many of them entering into schools, with many more joining seeking to achieve a higher education. The education wing of the ANC estimates that at least half of the black population will be literate by 1950, and more than a quarter fully educated by 1955. Currently, 10% have attained a secondary education, while less that 2% have been to and complete college and university. The leaders of the ANC state that they will be doing all they can do to increase the literacy rate among blacks in South Africa and Africa in general. The African National Congress sends delegates to other parts of Africa to discuss the possibility of opening region branches in other countries, such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Liberia. Special focus on Liberia is given, regarding its status as a state created for freed slaves, and founding members of the ANC are sent to work on opening a region branch in Monrovia. The formation of a governmental system in Southern Rhodesia in line with the union state model in South Africa, and its prime minister, Sir Godfrey Huggins, is affirmed as the future leader of a Southern Rhodesia in union with South Africa's organization. (Turn 2 of 3) The SANEC continues its drive to have a nuclear breakthrough by 1952, and makes a request to the government for a budget increase of more than 15%, which is immediately granted by Pretoria. Fourteen patrol boats are constructed in Durban to protect the littoral asset of the nation.
 * Namibia: The SANEC's division in Namibia produces a ton of U-352, and sends it to its field division in the desert for storage. The supply is guarded by a force of 250 NDF personnel and 12 heavy tanks to prevent anything from happening to it. Several industrial complexes are constructed for military expansion programs, with a tank factory built outside of the city of Swakopmund north of Walvis Bay, and imports several thousand workers to tend to the assembly lines. Economic growth remains slow, but stable.
 * Southern Angola: Education remains a priority in southern Angola, with more of the population attaining an education of respectable degree. Employment of the population continues to grow as agriculture and industry expand in the cities of Namibe and Namacunde. Poverty remains prevalent, but the government of southern Angola is confident that the poverty levels should be decreased by the 1960s to around 25%, while the unemployment rate should be less than 15% in the later 1950s.
 * Lesotho & Swaziland: Lesotho and Swaziland are immediately transformed into major industrial centers as they border the heartlands of South Africa. Investment into their capital cities helps with the financial incentive needed to get the industries off of the ground. Mining in Swaziland begin to growth overnight as South African industrialists step in supervise the mining operations in the state. In Lesotho, a finished goods industry is built-up into the state, where raw materials will be shipped to, and turned into finished goods that will cut down the costs of goods in other parts of the nation. Census are held in both territories by South African officials. The census reveals a population of 186,914 inhabitants residing in Swaziland and 691,897 in Lesotho.
 * Mauritius & Seychelles: Construction of a military base in Mauritius begins, with primary focus on a naval base given to support the planned formation of an Indian Ocean fleet of the South African Navy given. An ANC party branch is set up on the island to serve as a liaison between the black Africans on the island and the government of South Africa on the mainland. Economic development has gone as far as the government can see, but the ANC believes that more can be done on the island. As for Seychelles, another naval base is constructed on the island, but with plans to serve as a refueling base instead of a true naval operations center. The base provides hundreds of jobs for the local inhabitants, and plans for a tourist resort are underway by commercial centers. Another census held by South Africa indicates the population of 428,331 inhabitants on Mauritius and 34,414 in Seychelles.
 * Ethiopian Dip: We gladly accept your offer of the African National Congress.
 * Argentina: The Navy receives the additional heavy landing ship. The Coast Guard receives the four cutters, and looks into some smaller counter piracy boats. Work on the transportation infrastructure continues with linking going into Uruguay and into Montevideo. Some officials want to lift the sanctions on South Africa, but pressure from Brazil prevents this at the current time. The Air Force receives another 12 fighter jets, and after trials, the Navy receives 12 fighter jets for the two aircraft carriers increase air defense. The Air Force also receives an additional six heavy bombers. Work continues in collaboration with Brazil on our nuclear weapons program. The helicopter design is still on the boards with the tail rotor and engine stabilizers designed. Work on an assault rifle continues, with prototypes planned for the mid 1947's using designs pieced together from Brazil. One submarine is completed, and the other two are started, and due to be complete by mid to late 1947. The hospitals are 80% complete around the nation, and more doctors return to the nation. A medical hospital opens in Buenos Aires. Influence continues on Paraguay. (Turn Three of Six) (Military, infrastructure turn)
 * Uruguay: We receive two more destroyers, and two corvettes from Argentina. The infrastructure continues to be improved and speeds up the transportation of goods between the port cities and the interior. There are talks of purchasing fighter jets, but currently there are no plans. Some in Congress want to join Argentina as a province, and legislation is drafted. First the Uruguayan Congress will have to approve it, then Argentina will have to agree. Work continues on the hospitals with collaboration with Argentina. (Mil/Eco turn)
 * Romania: Romania wants to get Swiss jets, French taks to be more moden and can exchange oil and money. Industria Aeronautică Română can assist other countries to help to make a jet engine.
 * Swiss Dip: Our jets aren't near completion, but if you want IAR to help they could be completed quicker and we can give you a better price on them. JL_sig.png • Blason_royal_des_Vintimille_en_Cettatie.png 13:58, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion.

Meanwhile, natives in colonies like Angola and Mosquambe are given more rights, being stated as "a movement to educate and to treat the entire human race as equals. [Mil/Econ Turn (Nation/Vassals)]
 * Canada: Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King gives a speech outlining the role Canada plays in the world to the House of Commons that was publicly broadcasted across the country. In this speech, the Prime Minister tells of the crisis with the end of the United Kingdom, and the way Canada has dealt with it: accepting almost 600,000 refugees, over a third of the Royal Navy, though many ships will be sold or scrapped due to their age, and the responsibilities of the old British Empire now rest on Canada. However, Prime Minister King states that Canada can not fill the shoes of the now gone UK, and that is why the colonies were given their independence. However, Canada would not abandon the former colonies, and established the Commonwealth of nations for them to join: established as an economic free trade zone to help build up the under-developed nations in Africa and the Middle East, while sharing cultural and political alliances. However, and the Prime Minister made this clear, it was not a military alliance, and Canada will not join any "African bush war." An alliance with other "freedom loving nations of the Americans and Europe" is now the primary international commitment for Canada, through the Pan-Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Prime Minister also stated that many of the islands of the former Empire could not be maintained by Canada, and hence why most had their sovereignty transferred to the nations that was closest to them: Cyprus to Turkey, Falklands and South Atlantic Islands to Argentina, the Caribbean possessions to Brazil, etc. However, Gibraltar, Hong Kong and Diego Garcia were to be maintained as Canadian possessions, and Canadian troops and British Loyalists had been sent to maintain a garrison in all three locations. Finally, Prime Minister King announced that, with the approval of King George VI, Canada will lose its Dominion status, and officially be renamed as the Kingdom of Canada. The current political constitution will remain the same, except now the King will exercise the powers of the Governor-General. In an appeal to tensions between Brazil, Argentina and South Africa, Canada offers to mediate between the three nations to resolve diplomatic issues. To finish the speech, Prime Minister King denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communists.
 * I seriously question one-third of the British Navy going to Canada. Yes, I am aware that refugees would leave Communist Britain for Canada but I doubt they'd be bringing fleet carriers and destroyers with them.
 * Until the mods strike down anything Canada has said or done, then I'm going with what I have written. If you don't like it, take it up with them. Or, in the words of Pierre Trudeau: "Just watch me."
 * Iran: With American weapons arriving in forces we officially establish an air force and start to develop our own version of American planes, tanks and guns. The economy continue to flourish due to the global situation and support to Arab nationalists and Pakistan without using American weapons to prevent a conflict. We ask France and Germany if they still have any useless ships that we could buy.
 * The United States offers to give Iran ships in exchange for oil.
 * Iranian Dip: We accept the offer.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Australia: Infrastructure is improved. Thanks to the effects of the Treaty of Batavia, the population is rising more quickly. The project of a railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is still being built. Following the collapse of the British Empire, the nation declares bloodless independence and keeps the name Commonwealth of Australia.
 * India: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow faster and appear 500,000 people each year, as a few new farms are built mostly on rivers. Indian Road System upgrades roads from gravel to asphalt to make easier travel between towns. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. About 1000 tanks are built by Indian Army. Indian armies continues to push into the newly independent Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistani War. Reach on Jet engine begins. Meanwhile, two Indian automobile manufacturer companies named Hindustan Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, which war founded five years ago, grows popular in India by producing and selling famous Indian cars ever made.
 * Iran Dip: We propose to host a peace conference in Tehran to end the Indo-Pakistani war.
 * Ecuador:Despite Carlos Melendez's coup, he tries to push more progressive and Liberal policies on the country, as he claimed he took power just to help the nation. He improves the military as well as the economy, and our exploration of the Oriente continues.We ask to purchase machine guns and aircraft from the nations of WWII that would like to disarm. We also become an ally to PATO, without joining, as we are not on the Atlantic. We consider forming a Pacific version of PATO, but do not make any actions yet. Melendez also makes immigration much easier in Ecuador, as he believes that it will help provide growth and new ideas to the nation. As part of our campaign to improve the military, we build a naval base on Isla de San Cristobal in the Galapagos. We begin to construct plans for a new tank model, which we hope to be done by late 1948. Melendez also hopes to improve Public schooling, so as to improve the technology of the country.
 * Brazil Dip: We offer Ecuador inclusion into the developing South American economic zone which now includes nearly the entire continent. We will make a few investments for the signature of an economic treaty with Brazil and maintaining of the current political situation in Ecuador for the time being
 * Ecuador: We accept. We'd like it to be called the South American Union of Nations (SAUN)
 * Jordania: Large immigration of European Jews to the Holy Land continues (most notably British Jews, numbering 50,000, who are escaping the Communist takeover). The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Our military stands at 65,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. With Turkish support the nation's military is modernised with new weapons and equipment replacing any outdated equipment. Trade is expanded with Germany and Turkish forces begin to build military bases in the nation.(Military/Economic). Commonwealth nations can now vote on where the next commonwealth games will be held: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations_(Axis_vs_Allies:_Resurrection_Map_Game) 
 * Ammon: Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 15,000. Unranium mining beings to expand in the region, though most of the surpus materials going to Turkey, with many Jordanian scientists looking into the possibility to develop a neclear programm of their own. (Military/Economic)
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey shall construct a total of three military bases and deploy 6000 soldiers. The military bases would be at 6 km North-East of Amman, Near the border with Egypt, and at Nablus. Two naval bases are to be consructed at the coastlines of Haifa and Tel Aviv where 20 ships and 500 marines will be present. Therefore, a total of 6500 troops will be deployed in the Republic of Jordania. The bases will have to be maintained by Jordanian authorities, and Jordania will also have to accomodate the soldiers. Meanwhile, uranium mining will be undertaken by Turkish companies which shall hire Jordanian locals and a railroad will be constructed from the uranium mines to Haifa. This railroad will have to be constructed jointly by Turkish - Jordanian authorities. In return, Jordania will be provided with cheap armaments and the Jordanian military will receive training from Turkish commanders. Moreover, Turkey would be willing to develop Jordanian ports.
 * Jordanian Dip: We agree to these terms.
 * USGN: Military and infrastructure are improved. The standing military holds 100.000 troops. The military greatly benefits from the deal with Germany, and we have up to date weaponry and vehicles. We begin the build of three aircraft cruisers. We also begin research into new jets. PATO membership is achieved.
 * Belgium: Spaak, the Minister of Belgium is so confident to join PATO to make even support for the army and our hope for a great company of organization, Meanwhile, the military improves and economy, despite even loss for our Flanders it's not possible to give it back, even there will be possible way to get an access to the sea.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues.With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer. With support from the Germans, Saudi Arabia moves on Kuwait.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The Military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations. Yemen moves on Aden, hoping to reclaim the Greater Yemeni Area.
 * America is helping you, too.
 * Iran Dip: We offer support to Saudi Arabia in the form of troops and supplies.
 * The United States continues to build up its military. However, many old and obsolete ships, tanks, and other things are scrapped, mothballed, or sold in order to make way for the construction of a new, more powerful armed force. The Navy begins to construct more carriers which are larger in size than older versions. Also, the Navy begins to look into nuclear power, especially for submarines and perhaps even ships. Meanwhile, a number of Barracuda-class submarines are built. As the situation in Mexico becomes even more chaotic, bombers are sent to help the Mexican loyalists take out the enemy. Regardless, many in the federal government insist that the United States officially needs to occupy Mexico. The United Army Air Corps becomes an independent wing of the Armed Forces as the United States Air Force. Also, more jet fighters are built, but Air Force engineers look into swept-wing jet fighters. Thanks to German information and designs, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics begins to experiment with rocket planes. Together with the help of the Air Force, they construct the Bell X-1, the first manned plane to exceed the speed of sound. It is regarded as a great success but is kept secret. Meanwhile we continue to help foreign nations such as China, Iran and Saudi Arabia and continue the oil thing in Colombia. There is also a growth in the economy and a rise in birth rates. The US also continues the military occupation of Haiti and the Bahamas. Hawaii is admitted to the Union as the 50th state. In New York City, work begins on the expansion of the subway system. The US Coast Guard also continues to perform regular patrols in the Caribbean, especially around its territories such as Puerto Rico. In the elections, the Republicans take control of the House of Representatives. Work begins on more nuclear weapons. Also, some of the scientists who were involved in the Manhattan Project begin to suggest the potential of thermonuclear weapons.
 * In the Bahamas, there is economic growth. British elements of the government and military begin to be replaced by Americans. Communism is outlawed.
 * The Commonwealth of the Philippines experiences economic buildup and the construction of infrastructure. The people of the Philippines elect their first governor. However, many rightfully believe that the elections were rigged and continue to call for the creation of an independent Philippines.
 * The United States continues the military occupation of Haiti. Haiti remains under the control of military governor Eisenhower, who begins the construction of a national highway system as a small scale test for the potential building of a highway system in the United States.
 * German Reich: A year after the war ended Germany continues to rebuild a devastated Rhineland using the large amounts of supplies and raw materials granted by the U.S.A. and Brazil. Life in western Germany is slowly starting to return to normal as the volunteer and drafted workers help rebuild large areas damaged or exploited by the French. Rationing is slowly easing up as resources are becoming more available to the general population, many in the army are getting released and returning to their families, lots of these decide to volunteer as well to help rebuild their nation. Major corporations move back into the Rhine particularly Krupp, which put the steel factories back to work in the Ruhr Valley. Industrialization in Silesia, Austria, and throughout the Rhineland continues. In an attempt to increase productivity Berlin in coordination with major corporations and Industrialists begins rebuilding the extensive Rhineland railway system and improving the system in the rest of the country. Exportation of Steel, weapons, consumer goods, and other products begins again mainly to the U.S.A, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, China, and Germany's allies in Europe. The first national elections in over a decade are held in Germany with the Centre Party, and Conservative Party pulling a surprising victory over the Social democrats. The Centre Party seeing that they were behind in the votes formed a common front with the Conservative party to form a coalition government in the final months of polling. Despite this the Social Democrats form an overwhelming 45% of the Reichstag giving the opposition a very strong voice in the government. Berlin, and Vienna quickly regain their status as the political hubs of the Reich. The intelectual circles of Vienna remain largely left wing, while Berlin remains a melting pot for political and social philosophies. The cultural explosion continues without an end in sight with thousands of new artists, dancers, and musicians popping up across the country. Jazz continues to pick up in popularity. large scale scientific research continues with the greatest minds in the Reich working on a variety of projects. The nuclear program continues full steam ahead, it is now believed that Germany with Brazilian and Swiss co-operation will have its first bomb in 1948. With the process for enriching of Uranium and plutonium fully developed the Program is nearly at an end with the only thing left to do is develop a means of fission within a safe environment and to develop a stable container. Development of a large data processor begins as the German high command sees a need for faster devices (in effect I'm looking to make the first "computer." The actual first one was made during World War Two, so this is a bit late.). rocket engineering, and engineering development continues. The G 06 has its final kinks worked out and mass production of the rifle begins, with it slowly replacing the more outdated weapons of the armed forces. development of more modern smgs and machine guns begin as well. Mauser and the Austrian based Steyr Mannlicher agree to a merger of the two companies creating a massive new entity known as Mauser-Steyr, many unsatisfied with the new company, and its supposed policies move onto Hamburg founding Hekler & Koch, a smaller arms firm. Both firms are contracted by the German government to develop future assault rifles based on the G 06 model. Development of new fighters based on the old Me 262 known as the Me NT 20. Realizing that to get the kind of tank they want, Kraus-Maffei and Krupp puts a jet engine into the overall design of the Panzer V a new medium tank that proves a superior model over previous ones (something of a hybrid of the OTL Panther and the British Centurion tank, with out the flaws of either). While not quite where the Government wants it is a massive improvement over previous tanks and the government orders production of the new tank to begin. The Panzer V is widely recognized as the first step in revolutionizing Tank warfare by many in the German military community. The Horten Ho 229 enters small scale production to be serve as a special part of the air force, while tweaking of its system continues to work out the kinks. The government decides to set up a military government in the recently re-annexed provinces of what used to be Poland, establishing the Posen-Prussia District. Berlin and offers Czechoslovakia them a free trade agreement. (Mod Response, please.) Germany continues to expand its trade with Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. In secret Germany offers the Saudis and Turks the STG 44 to help them improve their military strength as well as older tanks and jets which are still years ahead of anything the other middle eastern countries may have. Some 2000 German volunteers also offer their services as advisors in exchange for boarding and German standard military salaries with benefits.
 * ​Posen-Prussia District: With Berlin granted total authority to the occupying forces a new administration is set up. All Germans living within the area are granted German citizenship at once while Poles are issued resident cards, stripping them of their nationality. However, it is decided that those who can prove their will to learn German and live within a German state will be granted German citizenship. Those deemed docile are permitted to remain within the Reich. However, those who are considered restive are slowly collected to be expelled across the border into the Soviet Union. German families who had lands taken from them after World War 1 are granted half of their original lands, while the rest is set aside for settlement by Germans coming from the East. With the trickle of Germans slowly increasing many are settled in the districts, and provided with supplies and government benefits until an active economy can be restored to the region. Military checkpoints are set up to keep the conquered Poles under control and to protect the German civilians moving into the area.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.

 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. The profit gained from expanding these industries led to the development of a general mindset to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry which proved quite beneficial in maintaining Turkey self-sufficient for minerals whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and the state continued to invest upon the construction of a railroad system to complete link Turkey. An already existing railroad system in Greece certainly proved beneficial to the Turks as they were able to examine the Greek models and reconstruct their own. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia was largely in rural. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchange were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established which acted as a police force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and were directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted. The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Air force at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosphorus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters which were generally cheaper were still imported and orders for production of the Yenilmez Y-1 were not given. The total size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 500 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German StG 44 Rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Soviet and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as STG 44 rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists made minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. In order to further expand Turk influence, Turkey continued funding independence groups in Iraq and influencing such groups to lead a coup d'état over the weak Monarchy [Turn Six of Ten]. Groups particularly funded included Assyrian, Kurdish, Yazidi, Shi'ite and Anti - British groups. With the sale of Panzer IV Tanks, StG 44s and jet fighters from Germany; general opinion regarding Germany developed. Regardless of that, people still chose to rather immigrate to South Africa.
 * ​Turkish Dominion of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Governor, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Governor had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Governor announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece. The Republic officially became a Dominion of Turkey. However, it was still bound to the Treaty of Athens.
 * Turkish Dominion of Cyprus: The brother of the Greek Prime Minister, George Rallis was elected as the Governor of Cyprus to signify virtual enosis between Greece and Cyprus. In Cyprus, merchant shipping was largely promoted due to its proximity to the Suez Canal, and the port of Famagusta acted as a major port in Eastern Mediterranean. The Cypriot economy largely depended upon export of agricultural goods which was promoted and tourism maintained a major role in the economy. Moreover, the strategic position of Cyprus allowed Turkey to establish complete control over Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Laws were passed to maintain peace between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and the government was particular not to take any sides for fear that it would result in a civil war.
 * Turkish Overseas Military Establishment: Military bases were constructed at Nablus, 6km North-East of Amman and at Jordanian border with Egypt beside the Mediterranean Sea. At these military bases, a total of 6000 troops were deployed. Along the same time, naval bases were constructed at Tel Aviv and Haifa where 500 marines and 20 ships were sent. The presence of such bases at strategic positions thus allowed Turkey to conjure greater control over the Mediterranean Sea as well maintain proximity with Saudi Arabia and the Suez Canal. Meanwhile, the Turkey restricted any uranium mining and therefore, railroads from the mining sites to Haifa were not constructed.
 * Turkish - Soviet Diplomacy: Turkey expresses its desire to purchase the T-54 and T-55 Tanks from the Soviet Union, and participate in a joint technology sharing thing between Turkey and USSR. •-•
 * Romania: Romania: Mihai I is the King and Petru Groza is the Prime Minister. Romania has 250.000 soldiers. Industria Aeronautică Română is assiting Switzerland to build the jet motor for a plane. Romania gets a leader that is more socialist, but it's not Communist. Romania gets a lot of oil and can sell and exchange for modern weapons.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Australia: Sir William John McKell is elected President. Economy is improved. The project of a railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is still being built.
 * Commonwealth announcement: Australia and relevant dependencies are invited to vote for the 1950 Commonwealth games venue.
 * Ecuador: We ask the nations of South America to join SAUN (South American Union of Nations). Next, we continue to work on designs for our new tank model. We improve the economy, and we hope to grow industrially. We also build infrastructure, particularly between Quito and Guayaquil, as this is the most important roadway in Ecuador and it is currently unsafe. We begin construction of a passenger airport in Guayaquil, as we believe that it would be safer to have a major passenger airport there than in the mountainous Quito. We prepare our football team to try to qualify for the 1950 World Cup. We are increasingly scared of the military advancement of Colombia, and ask that they promise not to invade. Until then, a couple of outdated Argentinean ships and planes arrive in Ecuador just in case.
 * The South American Union isn't plausible yet. Also, it's being propagated by the continent's largest economy and nation when it does happen -Feud
 * Argentinean Dip: Three armored cruisers built in 1898 are offered for sale to Ecuador.
 * Ecuador: We agree.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Phillip Ferdinand comes to power after a close vote. After Ferdinand talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Ferdinand also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Rebuilding efforts continue in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Meanwhile, seeing Portugal as a threat and supplier of the Nationalist rebels, have confirmed his retreat and Portuguese support. Tensions start to escalate over accusations between the two nations, and secretly an invasion is planned for sometime next year. After seeing France repel the German Fascists, Spain decides to do the same to its Fascist neighbor Portugal. After signing the peace treaty to end the conflict, a surprise attack on Portugal emerges, with Philipe Ferdinand saying "Fascist Portugal is always a danger to Spain and her people; It must be removed from power. The last offensive takes place against Lisbon, hoping to topple the Fascist regime in the final battle. Meanwhile income from the mining industry rises, and tech modernization continues. Spain asks United States if they could purchase American technology, to help modernize the nations technical level. The monarchist party also starts to gain followers, with almost 34% of the populations either registered or supporting the party. Spain purchases Congo, a former colony of the Belgian rump state. Meanwhile, troops are sent to Angola and Mozambique, to help protect the nation from foreign threats and to strengthen the ties between the natives and the colonists living there. Meanwhile, coal and raw materials are started to be exploited in the Northern region of Spain. Slowly this generates more and more profit, with the leaders keeping a close eye on the production levels. Machine guns, based off of the FM 24 and FM 29 models, are produced at a rapid pace, and are sent onto the international market. Aircraft similar to the CW-77 starts to be produced, mainly for the Spanish military in Angolia. Meanwhile, natives in colonies like Angola and Mosquambe are given more rights, being stated as "a movement to educate and to treat the entire human race as equals. [Mil/Econ Turn (Nation/Vassals)]

 * German Dip: Germany agrees to sell Argentina several STG 44's, as well as old panzer IIIs and IVs.
 * Argentinean Dip: We thank the Germans for selling us the rifles to help our development. We decline the tanks, as we have our own tanks similar in age and role as the Panzer III and IV, but propose working on a join main battle tank together with a 125 mm gun, and built heavier.
 * That concept doesnt exist yet, neither does the concept of any gun larger than 90mm in a tank. -Feud

 * Belgium: Wallonia is still a rump state and under German protection. Minister of Belgium is confident that German can defend us if the attack is happening upon us. The Belgian troops is now 50,000 after a stragetic reason of losing Belgian troops could be evading action and busier work. For some reason, PATO is right to join for Belgium and it provides for the organization.
 * Switzerland continues work on a jet project and a test model is flown in the spring for the first time. Some cantons begin to adopt laws to require nuclear-resistent bomb shelters in all homes and the first few are built. The government passes a law following a referendum to officially have a leader, being the head of the major party in the government, which will come into force in 1949. Switzerland begins to further influence Liechtenstein [Turn One of Six].
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues its development particularly of its Industrial ability. The population of Brazil reaches about 48.1 million with a major population boom occuring. The Brazilian Navy in particularly begins to further Develop as it now fields a relatively large fleet of various capital ships and a large auxiliary fleet. The Brazilian fleet in general is able to expand its power projection cababilities significantly especially its ability to deploy troops rather than just troops. The Brazilian Army is able to deploy heavily as well but the general armed forces size remains the same size. The Brazilian air force continues to expand as well adding more F-270's to the Air fleet. The Brazilian economy continues to develop with a 6.7% growth this year predicted but a certain economic condition revoling around debt potentially causing issues for the expanded growth. The Brazilian industries particularly in arms, steel, and shipbuilding continue to expand significantly, However, Bauxite (aluminum) continues to be an expanding industry and Brazil now officially works its way into a top spot of Bauxite mining and refining into aluminum. The Brazilian government, however, levels a heavier control in order to prevent flooding the market with it and driving its price down. Manganese continues to be developed as a mining industry as well with it being used to Produce Stainless steel cheaply and without major issues some other nations have in production. The Brazilian arms industry continues development of a rifle based on the STG 44 but due to some design considerations the research is forced to start from scratch. The Brazilian military begins designs on a new submarine. The air force and army forces are deployed to the island territories in the Carribbean. The Brazilian Highway network, taking some cues from the German system, continues to develop with many major coastal roadways and highways now completed. The Railway system has also expanded significantly since the 1930's with many railways pushing into the interior now.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela begins to develop industrially further as its oil refining capabilities expand significantly. The Venezuelan military develops a reserve of forces about 250,000 in order to mobilize a bit further in case of war. The Moderate industrialization of Venezuela continues with commodities industry being built up in a rather quick fashion. The Venezuelan nation begins to develop roadways and railways to connect with Brazil.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The confederations Bauxite and Manganese mining continues to develop significantly due to Brazilian immigration and Investment. The Confed in general show notable economic increases as its GDP increases by a good amount. The territory looks to have Brazilian majority in a good amount of areas now.
 * Canada: After several years of crisis and economic uncertainty, the Canadian economy actually begins to grow, funded by the wealth of the British Exodus, the scrapping of old Royal Navy ships and the Interprovincial Highway System providing links to all the major cities of Canada. New manufacturing industries are set up across the nation, many of them using names of their new British owners: Rolls Royce, Avro Aircraft, and many others. The Kingdom of Canada also stepped in and established new industries, namely in armaments: the Arsenal Act established four small industries in Halifax, Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver under the "Canadian Arsenals Inc.," one of the first federal Crown corporations in Canada, with the sole purpose of producing rifles, pistols, machine guns, German style "assault rifles" and other small arms. Prime Minister King determines that Canada should be self sufficient in producing its own military, though the new alliance with PATO offers a market for new, standardized weapons, and Canada was now in a great position to supply many of the world's armed forces. The first jet engines for Canada are also designed, as well as a powerful new fighter-bomber that could use this engine, and replace many of the now outclassed Marten and other fighters. Plans are made to make a powerful strategic bomber, in line with pre-World War II RAF thinking. And in what has become something of a tradition, Prime Minister King denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communist.
 * Commonwealth announcement: Canada is invited to vote for the 1950 Commonwealth games venue.
 * USGN: Mil and eco. Support for the government in Flanders has risen over the last years. The ports of Rotterdam and Antwerpen flourish, and so does the economy. PATO membership makes for even more support. After some time of debating it, we offically recognize Canada as the successor of the United Kingdom, while we recognize the PUB as a completely different state. With the development of the Panzer V finishing this year, we begin production of those tanks.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues. With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer. With support from the Germans, Americans and Iranians, Saudi Arabia moves on Kuwait.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations. Yemen moves on Aden, hoping to reclaim the Greater Yemeni Area.
 * GEACOP: The joint GEACOP-Brazilian nuclear project continues for its fifth year. The war with the French ends, with Vietnam entering GEACOP. All members improve military and industry. Work on fighter jets in West Papua continues. Work begins on closed circuit engines for submarines, as well as submarines large enough to hold planes. The Manchurian oil wells are fully rebuilded
 * Argentina: Another two submarines are completed. Work continues on the nuclear weapons program in collaboration with Brazil and Japan, as well as work on our own program. The Army continues development of an assault rifle. Work continues on a deep water port at Port Stanley. A helicopter prototype is completed, and the first flight is successful. Another twelve jet fighters are completed for the Air Force and the Navy. The Air Force decides to retire the old light bombers. The Air Force begins to expand the exploration base in Argentinean Antarctica. Oil exploration continues. The Navy lays down three tank landing ships in the role of fleet replenisher, an oiler and a repair ship. The three armored cruisers built in 1898 are retired, and are offered for sale to Ecuador. Oil exploration continues in the north part of the nation with some promising data. The economy continues to improve with businesses springing up in Buenos Aires. Many people clamor for European goods, some small local companies start up to produce these items for the people. Due to the threat from the UK, the Army deploys 200 soldiers and 50 marines to the Falklands as well as the ARA Neuquèn and four FMA FeC.3 fighter planes. We continue to influence Paraguay. (Turn Four of Six) (Mil/Eco turn)
 * Uruguay: Two corvettes are laid down for the Uruguayan Navy. Transportation work continues with the rail lines completely linked with that of Argentina. The road lines are still being connected due to their age, they need to be modernized up to par before being linked for safety purposes. (Eco/Inf Turn)
 * The United States continues to build up its military. Proceedings of Congress are televised. Percival Prattis becomes the first African-American news correspondent allowed in the Congressional press galleries. Edwin Land demonstrates the first instant camera. The United States Army led by George S. Patton invades Mexico with the intent of occupying it and ending the war. The USS Newport News is launched in Newport News, Virginia. Jackie Robinson signs a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers and becomes the first African-American to play Major League Baseball since the 1880s. More advanced boats and planes and whatever built.
 * In the Bahamas, there is economic buildup. There is also military buildup with American help.
 * In Haiti, there is buildup of the economy and infrastructure. The military occupation begins to wind down.
 * In the Philippines, there is economic growth and stuff. Military buildup.
 * Iran: Continue to supply Pakistan in secret against India. military supply and volunteer continue to arrive in Kuwait. We supply Iraqi Nationalist. Our infrasctructure and army continue to be modernize with American support. Car and television are more common than before.
 * France: The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, aircraft, and naval vessels. With the reserves at a full 1.5 million. The AMX 13's first prototype is being built as we speak to role out the next generation of tanks. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. With the recent events in Indochina we see fit to leave as we do not have the full capabilities to hold those colonies. In secret we actively destroy any resources and or industry that could be used against us in the future before we begin leaving the Khmer to rot in Indochina. (Military/Economy turn)
 * ​Iranian Dip: We would like to buy aircraft for our air forces and a few ships
 * South Africa: South Africa begins its election season, as Smuts seeks re-election and his opponent D.F. Malan attempts to become prime minister on the platform of preserving white minority rule through his apartheid scheme. The ANC continues its push to educate South Africa's black population, with the goal of educating older black Africans basic skills, while investing more time and effort into educating younger black Africans. To accomplish this, the ANC builds its own schools throughout South Africa, with the goal of educating blacks the skills needed to survive and thrive in the modern world. Courses taken from all across the globe are compiled and used by the ANC as the primary teaching courses provided to students. Major cities home to predominately black populations find themselves the target of investment by the ANC, as well as highly educated and successful black Africans living in the country, seeking to transform these cities in the black meccas of South Africa. The highway program of South Africa continues successfully, with more than 1,000 km of highway laid down throughout the country. Another 12,500 km will be built by the year of 1950, with plans to extend the network into the other union states of the country. Population growth for the year of 1947 was 4.7%, with a population increase in the other union states of about 2 to 3%. Increased provisions for expecting mothers, especially in black regions, has seen an increase in the survival rate of newborn infants, allowing the population to increase without the death rate found in largely underdeveloped countries. Also, the government introduces a starter kit for new parents to take care of their newborn children. Coming in the form of a box, the starter kit contains a set of diapers, clothes, sheets, food, and toys, and even includes a bed the baby can be placed on within the box as the baby's first bed. The total contain of the box is; a mattress, mattress cover, an undersheet, duvet cover, blanket, sleeping bag and quilt, as well as the box which doubles as a crib, protective clothing for the baby, several changes of clothes, a picture box and teething toy, bra pads and condoms, and hygienic supplies such as toothbrushes, towels, hairbrushes, and bath thermometers. The starter kit will be provided to all families regardless of social status and racial heritage, with the goal of reducing infant mortality rates across the nation. The military continues its training programs and combat exercises in Angola and Namibia, seeking to remain prepared for combat operations should the time come. Economists states the nation's GDP has grown by 5.6%, with leading industries such as mining and construction serving as the primary source of employment and investment. South Africa and Southern Rhodesia complete their negotiations on Southern Rhodesia joining the Union of South Africa as a member state, making it the sixth union state within the federation. Celebrations occur in light of Southern Rhodesia's membership, and Sir Godfrey Huggins addresses Parliament to express his admiration for the Union's purpose and goals. An ANC branch is opened in Ethiopia in the city of Addis Ababa, and two others in the cities of Accra and Monrovia, with the purpose of aiding in literacy programs, decreasing maternal and infant mortality, as well as promoting black African participation in the political processes of their nations, and the promotion of pan-Africanism.
 * Southern Rhodesia: The government of Southern Rhodesia wastes no time in wake of its membership in the Union of South Africa. The Southern Rhodesian Defense Forces (SRDF) are formed for their new duties, with a total of 22,146 personnel answering the call to mobilize for combat operations. A census held by the state reveals a total population of 1,890,592. The South Africans provide their Rhodesian counterparts with suggestions on lowering infant and maternal mortality rates, as well as recommending that the black population receive an education as part of the planned racial integration of the Union as a whole. While many Afrikaners seek to oppose the plan, other white Europeans agree to the idea, viewing the reasonable aspects of the suggestion. The railways of the state are expanded to connect with the wider system of rails in South Africa, and a special railway to hook up with Namibia through the latter's panhandle is under construction.
 * Namibia: Namibia continues its standard economic growth, with little in the way of expansion outside of the regular work in the mines. The SANEC continues its cooperation with the United States officials aiding them in their nuclear research, with several test completed so far with regards to the energy requirements of the nuclear facilities under construction throughout Namibia. The NDF discontinues its wargames for the rest of the year, with government officials pleased with the results of the tests.
 * Southern Angola: Construction of modern facilities throughout southern Angola continue with the oversight of ANC party members. The education of the population continues as usual, and the introduction of modern medicines in tribals areas of the state see the prolonging of life in generally hostile regions of Angola. Increased oil extraction off the coast of Namibe opens up a series of new job opportunities to the black population, with several black businessmen coming into southern Angola with the intention of getting in on the oil business, and to employ black workers on a pay level equal to that of their white counterparts. The military of Southern Angola trains for the year, setting up bases outside of Namibe in a mock siege and defense of the capital city.
 * Lesotho & Swaziland: Lesotho's capital of Maseru receives a major face-lift, with millions of dollars poured into the reconstruction of the capital, to transform it from a poor series of decrepit slums into a center of finance, industry, and learning. Elsewhere, factories are set up just outside of the capital city, to employ the tens of thousands of men and women living in the city, to give them work needed to get them into the economy as a whole. In Swaziland, the growth of the diamond mining industry continues, with thousands of men employed in the mines, which contribute to 50% of the state's GDP. Education on the subject of sexual relations to prevent the transmission of STDs becomes a major topic of the ANC's literacy program, following news of the stunning spread of venereal diseases. Combating the spread of VD in Swaziland has become a number one priority of the ANC.
 * South African Island Territories: Mauritius continues construction of the naval base located in Port Louis, which the local government hopes will provide thousands of jobs, and help attract more business to the island as sailors on shore leave look for places to spend their money. In Seychelles, little of note is done, with the exception of the opening of a refueling center for warships and airplanes of the South African Air Force. An airbase is constructed on Aldabra Atoll, allowing the South African Air Force the ability to cover East African airspace effectively. This extended reach into East Africa by the air force allows for the South African paratroopers to operate in locations such as Tanzania and Kenya without the fear of losing air support.
 * Argentinean Dip: Even though we have our share of disagreements between our governments, the threat of a Communist UK is more of a threat than our petty disagreements. We request a meeting to possibly arrange a cooling down in tensions to prevent things from spiraling our of control. We propose talks on our aircraft carrier due to the proximity to your nation. To dispel any beliefs that it may be a trap or blackmail, our Navy will deploy a screen of two destroyers, one submarine, the carrier, and a corvette. The carrier will carry 12 fighter planes, and four fighter jets for point defense. We request that your navy deploy a tank landing ship, two destroyers, two submarines, and up to three smaller ships. This is a sign of good faith.
 * South African Dip: We agree to the terms of your arrangement.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: Spain demands for South Africa to withdraw their forces from outside of Naimbe, and to recognize the Spanish hegemony to the area. Spain also offers to come to the negotiation table, as long as South Africa recognizes their claims on the rest of Angola and meets other demands that will be specified over time.
 * South African Dip: South African soldiers died to liberate that city from the harsh Portuguese colonial masters who violently oppressed the populace of Angola. While you sit idly by and watched these horrors, South Africa acted upon its ideals to alleviate the suffering of the Angolan people. We will not withdraw from the city and we will not recognize any Spanish hegemonic rule in the region. You will come to the table and present your plan, but it will not be offered on the grounds of ultimata.
 * Bulgaria: Nothing special happens, but the military will be staying at 75,000.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union celebrates the death of the Polish traitor and the armistice signed with the Germans, and now the Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.
 * Republic of Colombia: The oil indusry continues to boom, as production of oil is at a high. The Como Limon oil fields are now producing oil in earnest, almost matching the US-owned Rubiales oil fields. Gas drops to 7 cents a gallon in Colombia. The military, particulariy the navy continues to be built up.
 * Ethiopia:  Seeing the collapse of the British Empire we seize British Somaliland, British Kenya, British South Sudan stating ethnic reasons. We add the province to the Somali region of Ethiopia and tell the people that you are finally free from the Europeans. We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * We do not recognize Sri Lanka or India instead support Tamil independence and we and support the republic of Dravdia with money and arms.
 * Why do you not recognize Sri Lanka?
 * Since I recognize Dravida
 * Dravida is not fighting Sri Lanka.
 * Not without an algo you aint doing shit. You can invade those regions, but you can't just say you sieze them

 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 58%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. The profit gained from expanding these industries led to the development of a general mindset to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry which proved quite beneficial in maintaining Turkey self-sufficient for minerals whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and a major railroad system was completed which linked linked the entire state of Turkey, and now preparations were made to construct roadways and highways as well as a major bridge across the Bosporus. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia was largely in rural. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established which acted as a police force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and were directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted. The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Airforce at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters which were generally cheaper were still imported and orders for production of the Yenilmez Y-1 were not given. The total size of the Turkish airforce was maintained at 500 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German StG 44 Rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Soviet and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as StG 44 rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists made minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. In order to further expand Turk influence, Turkey continued funding independence groups in Iraq and influencing such groups to lead a coup d'état over the weak Monarchy [Turn Seven of Ten]. Armaments are no longer purchased from Germany and the Panzers IV are used to arm the Greek army against the Greek rebels.
 * ​Turkish Dominion of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Governor, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Governor had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Governor announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece. Moreover, he supported large-scale immigration of Turks. With the Greek rebels rising, the already existing Greek force of 50,000 and the Turkish force of 20,000 collaborated to fight against the rebels. Diplomats were also sent to coordinate with Italy to wipe out rebel strongholds [Algo pls Pita]
 * Turkish Dominion of Cyprus: The brother of the Greek Prime Minister, George Rallis was elected as the Governor of Cyprus to signify virtual enosis between Greece and Cyprus. In Cyprus, merchant shipping was largely promoted due to its proximity to the Suez Canal, and the port of Famagusta acted as a major port in Eastern Mediterranean. The Cypriot economy largely depended upon export of agricultural goods which was promoted and tourism maintained a major role in the economy. Moreover, the strategic position of Cyprus allowed Turkey to establish complete control over Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Laws were passed to maintain peace between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and the government was particular not to take any sides for fear that it would result in a civil war. Meanwhile, the Turks from Turkey migrated to Cyprus in large numbers.
 * Turkish Overseas Military Establishment: Military bases were constructed at Nablus, 6km North-East of Amman and at Jordanian border with Egypt beside the Mediterranean Sea. At these military bases, a total of 6000 troops were deployed. Along the same time, naval bases were constructed at Tel Aviv and Haifa where 500 marines and 20 ships were sent. The presence of such bases at strategic positions thus allowed Turkey to conjure greater control over the Mediterranean Sea as well maintain proximity with Saudi Arabia and the Suez Canal. Meanwhile, the Turkey restricted any uranium mining and therefore, railroads from the mining sites to Haifa were not constructed.
 * Turkish - Soviet Diplomacy: Turkey expresses its desire to purchase the T-54 and T-55 Tanks from the Soviet Union.
 * Argentinean Dip: We begin arming the Greek rebels, sending them rifles and pistols for now. There is plans to send them old fighter planes as our air force expands.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil increases its own industrial growth in the past few months with multiple industries growing to even more competitive levels. With nearly all of South America within Brazils ability to market and sell goods, the Brazilian nation is able to not only expand factories, but overall increase the myriad amounts of industrialization taking place with more commodities, and high tech consumer industries beginning to come in. These in general market anything from automobiles, to kitchen utensils and home Furniture. The Brazilian concept of a Suburb begins to take shape as well with the coastal cities beginning to offload excess population into communities and towns outside the city. This growth in general is propelled by the immensely cheap oil from Venezuelan and offshore investments. The Brazilian arms industry opens up an entirely new client base with more private and public interest in the arms industry developing. Various arms manufacturers are sending new opening for designs and the general populace in general begins to purchase some firearms with the Brazilian "Right to Bear Arms" propogating a positive gun culture. The Brazilian Military continues to show notable developments as it deploys its new Panther tanks fully removing the original Viper Tank from service. The Panther tanks with a heavy main weapon are the response to the issues with the two Viper models and the potential issues with the Medium tanks being unable to support effectively. The Army also makes inroads into development of its new rifles with promising designs coming around. The Air force also continues to make developsment with the latest models of its heavy bombers outpacing the older models relatively easily. The Brazilian fighter corps still maintains much the same compliment with a greater focus on the speedy air superiority provided by the F-270's followed by the absolute hold over dominance by the Super Blackhawks. The Brazilian navy continues work on their next two light carriers with their expected completion in 1948. A Nuclear breakthrough is made by the combined efforts of Brazil, Germany, and Japan and in some ways Argentina, but in general leads to the possibility of bomb construction with multiple bombs being ready to test in early 1948. The Brazilian leadership is happy with these developments and schedules to observe them. The Brazilian navy also expands its patrol and defence umbrella into the South Atlantic islands keeping a large patrol presence in that direction. Research in more modern ships begins with improvement to be made and the replacement of aging or obsolete ships and possible conversion of many into the new models of ships. Brazil avoid the issues between Spain and South Africa for now, but more or less remains resolute in keeping its bases in Angola and Mozambique. The Brazilian Marines in Angola undergo training exercises.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela continues to develop its oil and refining industries with its moderate commodities industry beginning to gain traction as the nation's unemployment reaches new lows. The Venezuelan government continues to show support for Brazil and in many cases has opted to help create and facilitate the creation of a Unified South American economic bloc with Brazil. The Venezuelan people when asked on the this topic seem rather positive with the influence of both the US and Brazil being rather positive for the development of the nation as a whole. The Venezuelans throw in their development with Brazil.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Confederation continues to show some moderate population growth through immigration. The Brazilian migration there has only increased as the industrial Bauxite and Manganese have made heavy movement towards improving nearly every aspect of the Guyanas. A potential Vote to Join Brazil in the future is to take place due to the major migration of Brazilians and the rather surprising assimilation of those previously living there. The Nation deepens its ties with Brazil.
 * USGN: Mil and eco. Support for the government in Flanders has risen over the last years. The ports of Rotterdam and Antwerpen flourish, and so does the economy. PATO membership makes for even more support. After some time of debating it, we offically recognize Canada as the successor of the United Kingdom, while we recognize the PUB as a completely different state. Production of the Panzer V continues, and in 1 year they will be the primary tank of the Dutch Army.
 * Federation of New Zealand: Independence is going good without the UK, and we seek to unite with Australia for safety.
 * New Zealand is invited to join the Commonwealth of Nations.
 * Belgium: With Belgium joining PATO as a member. We gain more respective troops to train. But the Spaak Minister warns troops to not engage Netherlands, otherwise they'll close out in Wallonia. Economy and military expands.
 * Argentina: We finish the destroyers for our Navy and launch them. Another 12 fighter jets for the Air Force are completed, and 12 for the Navy. Eight jet trainers are built as well. After negotiations with South Africa, we lift the sanctions on the nation and agree to some minor military and political collaboration to prevent future misunderstandings. We begin constructing an airbase on the Falklands and the miscellaneous Atlantic Islands. The Navy continues construction of a deepwater port and refueling station in the Falklands. Work on the domestic assault rifle continues with major leaps made after receiving aid from the German military. Business is booming for westernized products and automobile manufacturing begins in Buenos Aires. The first line produces ten cars in a month, a tremendous feat considering the short time between planning and execution. We continue to influence Paraguay. (Turn Five of Six) (Mil/Eco Turn)
 * Uruguay: The government receives the new ships for the Navy and finishes modernizing the armed forces for the moment. Work continues connecting the domestic infrastructure including rebuilding roadways to link with that of Argentina. Some in the government still urge unification with Argentina and becoming a province in the nation. Others want to keep the status quo as we retain some political freedoms, while gaining increased access to capital and speedy recovery from the depression. (Mil/Infa Turn)
 * German Reich: A year after the war ended Germany continues to rebuild a devastated Rhineland using the large amounts of supplies and raw materials granted by the U.S.A. and Brazil. Life in western Germany is slowly starting to return to normal as the volunteer and drafted workers help rebuild large areas damaged or exploited by the French. Rationing is slowly easing up as resources are becoming more available to the general population, many in the army are getting released and returning to their families, lots of these decide to volunteer as well to help rebuild their nation. Major corporations move back into the Rhine particularly Krupp, which put the steel factories back to work in the Ruhr Valley. Industrialization in Silesia, Austria, and throughout the Rhineland continues. In an attempt to increase productivity Berlin in coordination with major corporations and Industrialists begins rebuilding the extensive Rhineland railway system and improving the system in the rest of the country. Exporting of steel, weapons, consumer goods, and other products begins again mainly to the U.S.A, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, China, and Germany's allies in Europe. The first national elections in over a decade are held in Germany with the Centre Party, and Conservative Party pulling a surprising victory over the Social democrats. The Centre Party seeing that they were behind in the votes formed a common front with the Conservative party to form a coalition government in the final months of polling. Despite this the Social Democrats form an overwhelming 45% of the Reichstag giving the opposition a very strong voice in the government. Berlin, and Vienna quickly regain their status as the political hubs of the Reich. The intelectual circles of Vienna remain largely left wing, while Berlin remains a melting pot for political and social philosophies. The cultural explosion continues without an end in sight with thousands of new artists, dancers, and musicians popping up across the country. Jazz continues to pick up in popularity. large scale scientific research continues with the greatest minds in the Reich working on a variety of projects. German rockect development continues, and the german scientific community starts to discuss the possibilities of a space program (purely in theory at this point, and dont forget at this point otl the soviets and americans were also considering).Development of a large data processor begins as the German high command sees a need for faster devices (in effect I'm looking to make the first "computer." The actual first one was made during world war two, so this is a bit late.). rocket engineering, and engineering development continues. The G 06 has its final kinks worked out and mass production of the rifle begins, with it slowly replacing the more outdated weapons of the armed forces. development of more modern SMGs and machine guns begin as well. Mauser and the Austrian based Steyr Mannlicher agree to a merger of the two companies creating a massive new entity known as Mauser-Steyr, many unsatisfied with the new company, and its supposed policies move onto Hamburg founding Hekler & Koch, a smaller arms firm. Both firms are contracted by the German government to develop future assault rifles based on the G 06 model. Development of new fighters based on the old Me 262 known as the Me NT 20. The Panzer V begins mass production replace the old panzer IV.  The Horten Ho 229 enters small scale production to be serve as a special part of the air force, while tweaking of its system continues to work out the kinks. The government decides to set up a military government in the recently reannexed provinces of what used to be Poland, establishing the Posen-Prussia District. Berlin and offers Czechoslovakia them a free trade agreement (Mod Response, please.) Germany continues to expand its trade with Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. In secret Germany offers the Saudis and Turks the STG 44 to help them improve their military strength as well as older tanks and jets which are still years ahead of anything the other middle eastern countries may have. Some 2000 German volunteers also offer their services as advisors in exchange for boarding and German standard military salaries with benefits. In secret the first german nuclear device is developed and plans to test it in the future are made.  (Scraw gave me the go ahead on making my first bomb this turn so.) Not a word about the bomb is said as the high command wishes to keep the weapon a secret for aslong as possible. via diplomatic channels Germany requests that it be allowed to test the device off the brazilian coast where itll be kept out of sight and mind from Germanyès european rivals. 
 * ​Posen-Prussia District: With Berlin granted total authority to the occupying forces a new administration is set up. All Germans living within the area are granted German citizenship at once while Polish are issued resident cards, stripping them of their nationality. However, it is decided that those who can prove their will to learn German and live within a German state will be granted German citizenship. Those deemed docile are permitted to remain within the Reich. However, those who are considered restive are slowly collected to be expelled across the border into the Soviet Union. German families who had lands taken from them after World War 1 are granted half of their original lands, while the rest is set aside for settlement by Germans coming from the East. With the trickle of Germans slowly increasing many are settled in the districts, and provided with supplies and government benefits until an active economy can be restored to the region. Military checkpoints are set up to keep the conquered Poles under control and to protect the German civilians moving into the area.
 * Brazil Dip: Agreed.
 * Australia: Infrastructure is improved. The project of a railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is still being built.
 * Papua: Infrastructure is improved, as new buildings and a church are constructed.
 * Indonesia: New farms are built and a new factory is planned in Surabaya.
 * Switzerland continues development of the N-20 fighter-bomber with Germany and with some help from Romania following largely successful tests. The first planes could be commissioned some time in 1948 or 1949. The government begins modernizing the road infrastructure and could include building tunnels. Swiss influence continues in Liechtenstein [Turn Two of Six].
 * South Africa: Prime Minister Jan Smuts continues his push for racial integration, presenting the plan to the white population as the only sensible thing to do. Given the overwhelming population of blacks in the country, and the growing influence of the ANC and its core of wealthy black members, it will only be a matter of years until blacks are governing the country. D.F. Malan attempts to play on the fears of the white population, especially the Afrikaners, stating that black rule will end in white genocide. While some believe Malan's fear-mongering, others think of it as silly and unrealistic, only pushing them into Smuts' political camp. Elsewhere, the growth of the literate black population continues under the watch of the ANC. Numerous schools and universities built for the purpose of educating black Africans inspires many to take advantage of the growing resources flowing into their communities, and hundreds of thousands of parents enroll their children into the schools with the aims of giving them a future they can fulling take hold of. With a highly motivated population seeking to educate their young, further fueled by the possibility of black-led government in the future, many see it as their obligation to be prepared for that future, and to prove themselves every bit the equal of a white man in the field of education. Nuclear research continues as usual, with the another ton of U-352 produced by the South African nuclear scientists, and sent up to Namibia for storage. It is hoped that there will be more than enough fissile material needed for several tests in the future by the SANEC in hand with their American counterparts. Several South African scientists begin work on expanding their nation's understanding of computer technology and engineering. Construction of a large electronic calculator begins in Nelspruit, where several technology firms based out of Cape Town have invested in the project. One of the black African graduates sponsored by the South African government to attend the University of Pretoria, has established the automotive company, Inqola, to serve as the nation's first indigenous car making company. Seeking to open employment security to his fellow Zulu people, the Inqola company opens its first car factory in Pietermaritzburg, with the aim of turning it into South Africa's version of Detroit, Michigan. Some 6,500 people are to be employed at the factory, producing the company's first car design, the Inqola Pongola, named after the Pongola River which flows through KwaZulu. SADF troops are sent to protect the city of Namibe from Spanish forces, and prevent any attempt to cease the city from the sea. Smuts addresses the issue by stating South Africa will do its part to adhere to its commitments within the Union to defend fellow union state members. A series of new tank and aircraft designs are presented to the military for production. The government states that it will greenlight the designs for general production in 1948, along with plans for a series of new warships to replace the older versions as well as expand the navy in general.
 * ​Southern Rhodesia: Work to fulfill Southern Rhodesia's social and defense commitments begins, with education of the black population taking priority as the need to fill skilled jobs presents itself to politicians and businessmen. Military training outside of the city of Salisbury begins, with combined arms tactics taking the lead. Several airbases are constructed in the state to assist Union Defense Force personnel in expanding aerial defense in the region. Expansion of the state's railway system continues under the supervision of government officials, and construction of the highway network as an extension of that in South Africa begins.
 * Namibia: Namibia continues its typical expansion of the national infrastructure and military defense complexes. Economic growth begins to see expansion as movement by South African troops through the state picks up in light of the Spanish forces moving toward southern Angola. The SANEC continues its work to development a nuclear breakthrough by 1950-52, and constructs a new heavy water plant in the southwestern part of the country.
 * Southern Angola: The Southern Angolan Defense Forces take up fortified positions throughout the state, mobilizing reserves and moving heavy armor and artillery into combat positions. However, none of this distracts from the state's main goals of expanding industry and education in the union state, with priority given to the reconstruction of towns and villages in need of public facilities such as hospitals, schools, and civic centers which promote growth, stability, and education.
 * Lesotho & Swaziland: Lesotho continues to rebuild its capital city, building apartment buildings and schools in accordance to international standards, as well as developing a road network capable of supporting a population of well over a million people. Factories continues to sprawl outside of the city, as many outside of the state move to Lesotho in search of employment. In Swaziland, the sex education programs see much success, with the King of Swaziland agreeing to promote safe sexual practices in the population on behalf of South Africa. With such preventative measures taken by the government, VD cases have dramatically decreased over the course of six months, aiding in prolonging the life expectancies of the population. Elsewhere, the diamond mining towns attract businesses geared to providing recreational activities for the miners and their families, providing a boom to the local economy and industries. Several military personnel from both states are transferred to the Angolan front to assist in building fortifications and aiding in patrols. It is believed that some 2,500 soldiers have been reassigned for this role.
 * South African Island Territories: The construction of the Port Louis Naval Base is completed in Mauritius, allowing the South African Navy the ability to reach locations as far north as the Horn of Africa and Yemen. With the refueling base in Seychelles, prolonged naval missions in the Indian Ocean become a viable option for the military. The aircraft carrier SAS Rhodes is assigned to the port. With the civil war raging in the Indian subcontinent, the South African officials in Pretoria capitalize on the naval base's completion, and orders the South African Marines to seize the British Indian Ocean Territories from the Indians. With little resistance to their landing, the tiny islands are occupied by 150 South African marines and incorporated into the SAIT. Plans to move on into the Maldives are drawn up by military officials to build a lasting presence in the region, but the Smuts government insists that the navy wait until after the 1948 elections to occupy the Maldives. Smuts states that he cannot risk giving Malan an opprotunity to criticize his foreign policies during the election and potentially give him the edge in 1948.
 * Jordanian Dip: We request the purchase of 3 Atlas Arends
 * South African Dip: We'll sale them for $97,500 each, and provide spare parts for the next five years for $25,000.
 * In the United States, there is economic growth. More people have jobs and the standard of living generally increases. It is a good time to be an American and nationalist sentiment is at an all time high. However, people begin to disapprove of the aggressive tendencies of the Wallace administration, especially the occupation of Haiti and now the occupation of Mexico. Many begin to refer to this new tendency as Wallace's addition to the Monroe Doctrine. Meanwhile General Patton continue the invasion of Mexico, sweeping south from the border into the northern Mexican provinces and seizing major cities such as Tijuana and Monterrey. The government decides to begin secretely funding, aiding, and supplying Greek rebels. The Navy also launches an attack on Veracruz and other locations along the Gulf of Mexico. Also, new ships, carriers, and destroyers are built and research continues on the H-bomb, as well as advances in submarines. America continues to make progress against the conspirators as many loyalist forces join the US forces as they continue to push towards Mexico City. Meanwhile, there is military buildup and lots of new weaponry and vehicles see action in Mexico, especially heavy tanks, jet fighters, and other powerful planes. Meanwhile at home, people predict that the Republicans will have control of both houses of Congress and the White House in the next elections. Meet the Press debuts on TV. The US Marine Corps commissions its first helicopter squadron.
 * In the Bahamas, there is economic growth that coincides with the growth of the American economy. Also, new infrastructure is built and old stuff is maintained, repaired, or replaced. The United States also moves more troops, ships, and planes into the region.
 * The Republic of Haiti continues to make diplomatic overtures toward the Dominican Republic. Thanks to American funding, Haiti begins to experience economic prosperity. General Eisenhower continues the experimental infrastructure programs. The US military begins to depart from Haiti.
 * In the Commonwealth of the Philippines, there is military buildup. Calls for independence continue to rise. There is a buildup in infrastructure and things thanks to American money. The Philippine Air Force is created. Thanks, Obama.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues. With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer. With support from the Germans, Americans and Iranians, Saudi Arabia moves on Kuwait.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations. Yemen moves on Aden, hoping to reclaim the Greater Yemeni Area.
 * '  ​' France: The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, aircraft, and naval vessels. With the reserves at a full 1.5 million. The AMX 13's first prototype is being built as we speak to role out the next generation of tanks. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. With the recent events in Indochina we see fit to leave as we do not have the full capabilities to hold those colonies. In secret we actively destroy any resources and or industry that could be used against us in the future before we begin leaving the Khmer to rot in Indochina. (Military/Economy turn)
 * ​Jordanian Dip: We would like to purchase French Lebanon for £1.5 Million.
 * Ecuador: We begin by asking to have an exchange of embassies in the new countries formed by the former British Empire. We would like an embassy in Sydney, Australia; Wellington, New Zealand; Johannesburg, South Africa; Jerusalem, Jordania; and Ottawa, Canada, all in exchange for an embassy in Quito. We decide to stay out of the war in India. In internal affairs, we continue our various explorations of the Oriente, searching for Gold, Silver, diamonds, and oil. We improve our infrastructure, especially between Guayaquil and Quito. We also improve our economy, continuing our goal of industrializing. We ask for an alliance with GEACOPS, at least informally.
 * Jordania: Large immigration of European Jews to the Holy Land continues (most notably British Jews, numbering 50,000, who are escaping the Communist takeover). The government concentates its efforts to deal with the flood of Jewish immigrants fleeing the European conflict with the nation's economy being improved. The trans-highway network is completed. Efforts are also made to reduce tensions between the different ethnic groups after the Arab revolt. Our military stands at 65,000. More PAI Hoopoe are produced and used to enlarge our air force. With Turkish support the nation's military is modernised with new weapons and equipment, as well as Turkish military staff training our military in modern tactics. Trade is expanded with Germany and Turkey.(Military/Economic) . (Edit: why was my stuff striked out?)


 * Ammon: Infrastructure is improved. Archaeological expeditions are given the Emir's blessing allowing for many expeditions to take place in the region. In light of recent laws and efforts in Palestine, Transjordan also puts in place a series of laws to reduce tensions between Muslims and Christians. The Emir increases the size of the Transjordanian army to 25,000. (Military/Economic)
 * You are blocked; you are no longer allowed to play.
 * Why?
 * Did you not get the notice? You kept duplicating offenses. Frankly I think 1 month is a tad long but rules are rules.
 * So if when the month is up I can rejoin the game?
 * Yeah.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Republic of Colombia: Mandatory participation in the military begins, and all males are required to join one branch of the military for 30 months when they turn 19. Communism continues to be brutally suppressed, with many party leaders arrested and jailed. The military works on modernizing its tank force and air force.
 * Soviet military aims to take full advantage of the situation and gain both revenge and retribution for its sacrifices. The Soviet military, still relatively fresh from its offenses in eastern Poland, begin to take the fight to the rest of the country to ensure that the new Communist government is in as much control as possible. With Germany focusing on the parts that they withdrew to, the Soviets along with their new Polish Communist allies make moves on other cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Lublin, threatening to siege any that don't submit to the new Communist authority. In addition to that, Soviet forces occupy Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, liberating them after the successful operation that drove the Germans out of the Soviet Union. The Soviet industrial machine continues to work at a wartime pace, as the war is still not over, and rocket launchers and T-34s are continuously produced for the war effort. Planes are as well, and research into nuclear weapons and jet engines, as well as rockets, continues. The Soviet Union is considering Poland's offer, and until then proceeds with the planned invasion of Finland in an effort to bring the Soviet part of the war to an end.
 * Tuva: Tuva continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future.
 * Mongolia: Continues to support the Soviets in their actions. There is some talk of possibly joining the Soviet Union at some point in the near future. Until then, Mongolian forces continue to prepare and train in case war breaks out in the far east.
 * East Turkestan: East Turkestani officials continue to talk with Soviet and Chinese officials in peace talks. Until the outcome of such talks, the military continues to train and prepare in case war breaks out.

Construction of the Death Star begins in the orbit of the moon. The remainder of the galaxy is annexed by the Declaration of American Universal Domain of 1948. Scraw is named supreme leader of the entire universe by Imperial Ordinance #1 and installed on the Iron Throne. All former earthly peasant nations are invited to sign their surrenders below:


 * Ethiopian Dip: Where are the moderators.
 * "Construction of the death star begins in the orbit of the moon". Mods, can this madness end?
 * Ecuador Dip: We declare war on San Marino. They look suspicious.
 * Mod Dip: Scraw, that's enough. It was a funny joke, but it's causing everyone else to go insane over it.
 * Argentinean Dip: Our entire nation as well as our vassals blast off from earth and heads back to our home planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, to return in 10 years to conquer the earth, a plan 100,000 years in the making. We will conquer puny earth and the minute humans.
 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 67%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. The profit gained from expanding these industries led to the development of a general mindset to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry which proved quite beneficial in maintaining Turkey self-sufficient for minerals whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and a major railroad system was completed which linked linked the entire state of Turkey, and now preparations were made to construct roadways and highways as well as a major bridge across the Bosporus. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia was largely in rural. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established which acted as a police force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and were directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted. The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Airforce at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters which were generally cheaper were still imported and orders for production of the Yenilmez Y-1 were not given. The total size of the Turkish air force was maintained at 500 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German StG 44 Rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Soviet and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as StG 44 rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists made minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. In order to further expand Turk influence, Turkey continued funding independence groups in Iraq and influencing such groups to lead a coup d'état over the weak Monarchy [Turn Eight of Ten]. Armaments are no longer purchased from Germany and the Panzers IV are used to arm the Greek army against the Greek rebels.
 * ​Turkish Dominion of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Governor, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Governor had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Governor announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece. Moreover, he supported large-scale immigration of Turks. With the Greek rebels rising, the already existing Greek force of 50,000 and the Turkish force of 20,000 collaborated to fight against the rebels. Diplomats were also sent to coordinate with Italy to wipe out rebel strongholds. Moreover, with news arriving of foreign support to Greece, the navy initiates massive patrols around Greek coasts. It is declared that everyone would have to use the Port of Athens or Thessaloniki. Ships seen elsewhere would be immediately destroyed and ships arriving at coastlines where rebel strongholds are present, are ordered to be attacked unless it is noticed that they belong to the Turkish navy. Along the same time, air strikes are launched by the Turkish airforce upon Greek Hellenic Strongholds and state propaganda makes sure to tell the people that the rebels have full plans on burning Athens and other Greek cities to the ground. 
 * Turkish Dominion of Cyprus: The brother of the Greek Prime Minister, George Rallis was elected as the Governor of Cyprus to signify virtual enosis between Greece and Cyprus. In Cyprus, merchant shipping was largely promoted due to its proximity to the Suez Canal, and the port of Famagusta acted as a major port in Eastern Mediterranean. The Cypriot economy largely depended upon export of agricultural goods which was promoted and tourism maintained a major role in the economy. Moreover, the strategic position of Cyprus allowed Turkey to establish complete control over Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Laws were passed to maintain peace between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and the government was particular not to take any sides for fear that it would result in a civil war. Meanwhile, the Turks from Turkey migrated to Cyprus in large numbers.
 * Turkish Overseas Military Establishment: Military bases were constructed at Nablus, 6km North-East of Amman and at Jordanian border with Egypt beside the Mediterranean Sea. At these military bases, a total of 6000 troops were deployed. Along the same time, naval bases were constructed at Tel Aviv and Haifa where 500 marines and 20 ships were sent. The presence of such bases at strategic positions thus allowed Turkey to conjure greater control over the Mediterranean Sea as well maintain proximity with Saudi Arabia and the Suez Canal. Meanwhile, the Turkey restricted any uranium mining and therefore, railroads from the mining sites to Haifa were not constructed.
 * Soviet Union: Finally back in action here. The Soviet Union rejoices in peace following the war in Europe, and even with the war over the Soviet Union does not relax its grip on the population or its determination to expand its influence and power. Soviet military strength recovers from the war, and the military along with the civilian government agrees to fund new technologies for the military. New technologies like radar, better tanks, rocketry, jet aircraft, chemical weapons like sarin, and nuclear weaponry are all given priority in terms of military development funding, in order to make sure the Soviet military maintains relative equality with other great powers. In the domestic front, tanks like the T-34 are still being mass produced, and the military continues to produce weapons to help maintain parity. Soviet weaponsmiths begin designing an assualt rifle based on the German STG44, and it is expected to be produced next year. The Soviet Navy also beings to modernize and grow, with the need for destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers becoming obvious and desired. Intelligence services like the NKVD and KGB continue to gather intelligence in other countries that the government could utilize. The Soviet Union also begins work at consolidating its foothold in areas in the world, and efforts to expand or maintain foothold are desired and sought after. The situation in India is highly appealing to the Soviet government, and the Soviet government sends KGB agents into the subcontinent to explore the situation in more depth.
 * Tuva: Tuva is annexed into the Soviet Union this year after near unanimous agreement by both governments.
 * Mongolia: The Soviets keep trying to bring in some aspects of industry into Mongolia, although most of the country remains pastorial. The military gains a bit of surplus from the Soviets to help modernize their military.
 * East Turkestan: Following talks with Chinese officials, East Turkestan is divided in order to prevent the outbreak of new war. The northern part is annexed into the Soviet Union, with part of it being added to the Kazahk SSR and the rest being admitted as the Uighur SSR.
 * Baltic Federal People's Republic: The three countries of the Baltic are roled into one state under Soviet influence and direction in order to better manage and direct their affairs and eventuall ascension. The military is prepped with Soviet surplus in an effort to modernize them.
 * Finland: A new government is established now that the Soviets are victorious and the war has ended. National efforts are underway to rebuild the country. The military is prepped with Soviet surplus in an effort to modernize them.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We request the Soviet Union to sell T-54 and T-55 tanks to Turkey.
 * The United States of Everywhere demands an immediate surrender from the former USSR which no longer exists. We are stronger than you, which is why we have invaded you. Since we are stronger than you, you must clearly become a part of our nation. 129 states will be created from the former USSR.
 * Ethiopia: We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We invade British Kenya, Somaliland and Southern Sudan. We also build up our navy. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * Argentina: Another 12 fighter jets for the Air Force are completed, and 12 for the Navy. Eight jet trainers are built as well. We continue constructing an airbase on the Falklands and the miscellaneous Atlantic Islands. The Navy continues construction of a deepwater port and refueling station in the Falklands. Work on the domestic assault rifle continues with major leaps made after receiving aid from the German military. Using plans from Brazil we begin to construct the remaining 10% of equipment we need for our nuclear weapons program. Business is booming for westernized products and automobile manufacturing continues in Buenos Aires. They manufacture 500 cars per month. We vasselize Paraguay. (Turn 6 out of 6) (Mil/Eco Turn)
 * Uruguay: Work continues connecting the domestic infrastructure including rebuilding roadways to link with that of Argentina. Some in the government still urge unification with Argentina and becoming a province in the nation. Others want to keep the status quo as we retain some political freedoms, while gaining increased access to capital and speedy recovery from the depression. (Eco/Infa Turn)
 * Paraguay: After being vassalized by Argentina the economy begins to improve due to increased capital available in the nation. Infrastructure development is begun and put under construction to connect it with that of Argentina. (Infra/Eco Turn)
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built. Thailand also begins to deploy some military to the border to deal with the attacking Khmers.
 * The Khmer Rouge is attacking you. Do something.
 * Canada: The Kingdom of Canada does Kingdom of Canada things. The Grand Fleet is prepared and sent on a world wide tour to visit our allies and show that Canada can, and will, take the place of the former United Kingdom on the world stage. The economy booms with investment of the British Exodus and new industries, and our trade agreements with Germany, the US and the Commonwealth further boost the economy. Oil is found in Alberta, giving another huge economic boon to Canada. Canada asks Germany if we can buy SAG 44's and Panzer IVs to reverse engineer for Canadian purposes. In return, we can sell old Royal Navy ships and natural resources. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King once again denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communists.
 * Romania: Mihai I is the King and Petru Groza is the Prime Minister. Romania has 250.000 soldiers. Romania is happy that because of cooperation to make a plain with Switzerland. Since it did a test that was successful, Romania wants to buy ten.
 * Bulgaria: The Bulgarian (Insert Government here) starts to modernize to keep up with the superpowers, but they fail as they don't go beyond OTL 1936 techs. Attempts to Increase industry and boost population occur.
 * Iran: Effort to modernize our army and infractructure show great progress and the new new generation who grow in under the progressist government become pro Western. Continue to supply Pakistan and Arab nationalist with weapons and supplies. The fortification on the Soviet border is finally over and keep up to date . We propose the creation of the Muslim League between Saudi Arabia and us to promote unity in the Muslim world and as a economic organization.
 * But you're Shia ... and they're not ...
 * My head of State is secular and the clergy is under government rule, but still, can I propose the creation of a Middle East based organization to counter Communism.
 * It doesn't make much sense for you to say that you're secular but want a Muslim League at the same time.
 * Yeah no, this aint happening.
 * Of course, in this case it would not be the Muslim league but something like the Middle East cooperation organization.
 * France: The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, aircraft, and naval vessels. With the reserves at a full 1.5 million. The AMX 13's first prototype is being built as we speak to role out the next generation of tanks. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess equipment, armaments, armor, navy vessels, and aircraft manufactured during the war. With the recent events in Indochina we see fit to leave as we do not have the full capabilities to hold those colonies. In secret we actively destroy any resources and or industry that could be used against us in the future before we begin leaving the Khmer to rot in Indochina. (Military/Economy turn)
 * Ecuador: We ask to purchase two bombers and five tanks.
 * USGN: Mil and eco. Support for the government in Flanders has risen over the last years. The ports of Rotterdam and Antwerpen flourish, and so does the economy. PATO membership makes for even more support. After some time of debating it, we offically recognize Canada as the successor of the United Kingdom, while we recognize the PUB as a completely different state. Production of the Panzer V continues, and in 0.5 year they will be the primary tank of the Dutch Army.
 * Batavia: Mil and eco.
 * Belgium: The oil industry is good in exchange. Minister of Belgium thinks more power accurancy will need for Belgium, which is probably need and Wallonia to help. Meanwhile, the troops completely in training, but the army is small and will need more structures to build and upgrade bigger.
 * Switzerland begins serial production of the Arbalète N-20 fighter-bomber, though production will be slow for some time. Swiss influence over Liechtenstein continues [Turn Three of Six] and troop presence there is reduced to 2. Switzerland continues its good relations with its neighbors.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues. With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer. With support from the Germans, Americans and Iranians, Saudi Arabia moves on Kuwait.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations. Yemen moves on Aden, hoping to reclaim the Greater Yemeni Area
 * Australia: Economy is improved. The railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is still being built.
 * Papua: Infrastructure is improved, as new buildings are constructed.
 * Indonesia: New farms are built and a new factory is planned in Surabaya.
 * Nepal: After the turmoil caused by the Rana dynasty's internal issues and the lack of British aid following the Communist revolution, the position of the Prime Minister becomes elective once more. The government urges to repair and develop the economy and discussions are made wether to intervene into the Indian affairs or not.
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues to develop its industry in good stride with good production of goods for the rest of the continent as well as some major export operations now as well. The Brazilian government develops the South Atlantic bases from Argentina into fully fledged Air Force bases and the Naval base developing on Ascension Island. The Brazilian in a lot of cases develops the ability for long range bombers to reach Africa through their efforts. The Brazilian arms industry continues to expand as well with more arms development for civilians occuring. Along with this the Brazilian efforts for another kind of Main assualt rifle to develop from the STG 44. The Brazilian navy continues to develop as well with looks into new variants of Fleet Carriers, and other ships as well with the obselecense of the Battleships becoming readily apparent. The Brazilian navy also further develops its Angolan and Mozambique bases particularly to house Naval aviation bases. The Navy also begins development of its first jet powered Naval aircraft looking at the many issues of operating a jet based carrier aircraft. The Brazilian Nuclear program culminates in the detonation of its first nuclear weapon at an unidisclosed location in the Amazons. The Test is successful and with the first round and investment from 4 nations 3 of them great powers, the Brazilian have managed about 3 more bombs. However One bomb is shipped to Japan and 2 are kept in Brazil with the ability to copy the manufacturing schematics being allowed by all participating nations. The Remaining two Brazilian nukes are able for delivery through specially modified Brazilian Cargo Aircraft with a specified Bomber to be built in the next few years. The Brazilian nation Sanctions South Africa, as it seems to be attempting to upset the self determination and independence of many independent peoples in South Africa. The Brazilian Army continues development of its new IFV with a 20 mm autocanon as one of its main armaments. The Brazilian government under Nereu Ramos also warns of grave consequences to South Afica if it should continue any current nuclear research and warns that if they should continue it will result in a forced removal of this sort of weapon from a power not seen stable enough to maintain the responsibility.
 * Venezuela: The Venezuelan nation continues to develop industrially with its Oil and moderate commodities industries picking up significantly for a nation of only four million people. The Military itself develops modestly as well with the fleet looking to gain a potential cruiser from the Brazilians if the economy permits. The Venezuelan military remains at about 120,000 with a small reserve, and seeks no expansion in the recent years only to keep a potent modern military force. The Rubber production of Venezuela picks up.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Confederation continues to develop through its manganese and Bauxite mining. Further migrations of Brazilians to Guyana continue to make it a more and more Brazilian country than not. The Native and various europeans here integrate rather well in this system and it begins to show that Brazil can be treated as a top tier immigration opportunity for Europeans.
 * Argentinean Dip: We request to purchase 24 intro trainer planes, 20 Viper I tanks, and 50 Viper II tanks.
 * In the United States, Warner Brothers shows the first color newsreel. The Wallace administration puts forth a plan for a free trade zone between the United States and its associated nations. General Patton continues the military occupation of Mexico. With the official surrender being received, the US Army enters Mexico City fairly easily. Meanwhile, the Navy defeats the loyalists along the coast. Also, the Air Force sees great action in Mexico, with the new bombers and jet fighters being used on the attacks on rebel bases. The Air Force now has approximately 50000 planes in service and 360000 personnel. Mexico is divided into three military occupation zones, North Mexico, Central Mexico, and South Mexico, each governed by a different military governor. The B-29 Superfortresses undergo aerial refueling tests, proving that this is a viable technique for the extension of the range of bombers. Also, it is decided that the U.S. must being stockpiling nuclear weapons if it hopes to maintain its position as a dominant military force. The U.S. Navy launches two P2V-3C Neptune aircraft, which are configured to carry nuclear weapons. Also, a YP-86 flown by George Welch is the first American fighter aircraft to exceed Mach 1. Back at home, the Supreme Court rules that religious instruction in public schools violates the Constitution in McCollum v. Board of Education. The United States sanctions South Africa. The Republican Party nominates Thomas E. Dewey for the Presidency. In the Democratic Party, the frontrunners are Claude Pepper, Vice President Johnson, and General Eisenhower. In June, President Wallace declares his support for Louis Johnson, ensuring his nomination. There is also economic growth and a growth in employment.
 * In the Bahamas, there is economic growth and military is built up. The Bahamas officially becomes the Republic of the Bahamas. The Bahamian government is also in accordance with the American plan to create a free trade area.
 * In Haiti, the military occupation is ended as the American forces return to their nation. However, Haiti remains an American protectorate. Thanks to American funding, Haiti experiences economic growth. Haiti begins to acquire older American ships and weaponry.
 * The Philippines remain an American Commonwealth, although many continue to seek independence. The Philippine military is strengthened and new infrastructure is built, while older infrastructure is destroyed or repaired.
 * South Africa: Jan Smuts wins in a close election, beating D.F. Malan's National Party by 14 seats in the parliament. Tens of thousands of white South Africans voted to keep the moderate United Party in power, seeking to ease black rule into the country with the understanding of the greater power blacks have since been wielding. Failing to scare whites into voting for his party, Malan retires from politics in the wake of the National Party overwhelming defeat in the election polls. With Malan's retirement, the legalization of apartheid in South Africa has effectively been killed as a political idea, and the move to integrate black Africans in the political structure of South Africa begins under Smuts' watch. While Smuts had originally intended to prolong white-minority rule for as long as feasibly possible, the growing political influence of the ANC has forced Smuts to agree to a time-table in which black majority rule will take place. The year of 1958 is selected by members of the South African government as the most viable time in which to hand over political power to the ANC, and end white minority rule in South Africa. South Africa responds to the Brazilian threat stating that it will not be cowed by foreign powers, especially powers that cannot not harm them from their Amazonian "slums". The Brazilian statement is rebuked by South Africa, and work on its nuclear program continues as usual. South Africa enters into negotiations with Bechuanaland on the subject of it joining the union of southern African nations (Turn 1 of 5 of vassalization).  Population of South Africa increases by 4.5% as regularly, and 3-5% in the other states, with sex education to prevent sexually-transmitted diseases playing a big part in the survival rate of mothers and infants. Economic growth is shown to be more than 7.8%, the giant increase in the economy coming in light of the election results. With blacks soon to have the total freedom to take part in the economy by 1950 according to the Smuts government, investors flock to South Africa in preparation for the predicted economic boom that is to take place two years from now. The highway system in South Africa continues to grow, and tens of thousands of South Africans take to the road in their new Inqola Pongolas, seeking to show their support by buying the vehicles. With so many purchases, Inqola increases its production quotas to meet demand, and begins drawing up plans for exporting regionally. The military introduces the new tank design known as the Verwoester Md.III, which will begin replacing the older Verwoester Md.I's and Md.II's. 350 Verwoester Md.III's have been ordered by the army. In addition to this, the air force of South Africa has placed an order for 50 additional Atlas Arends, seeking to replace the fleet of piston engine aircraft with new jet engine aircraft. Finally, the navy places an order for a third aircraft carrier to increase its presence in the Atlantic Ocean. Construction on the SAS Paul Kruger begins in Cape Town, along with the construction of three new destroyers and five extra landing ships for the South African Marines. The number of marines in the military are to be expanded from a force of 3,400 to more than 9000 personnel, with plans to establish a series of military bases for the navy in Seychelles for Indian Ocean power projection. In light of the acquisition of the British Indian Ocean Territory, the marines are in need of extra personnel, leading to the expansion of the force. The SAS Rhodes begins combat trials in the Indian Ocean, along with two cruisers, nine destroyers, seven frigates, and four submarines, which form the South African Eastern Fleet. Industrial expansion continues in South Africa, with construction of several new steel factories in Johannesburg and Pretoria, as canned food factory in Kimberly, and a textile plant in Polokwane. Another textile planet is under construction in the city of Ulundi, where it will employ several hundreds of people as part of the government's economic empowerment program for the black Africans in the region. The literacy rate among black Africans continues to grow, with more than 35% of the black population capable of reading and writing. 2,600 black Africans are admitted in the University of Pretoria and the University of Cape Town, financed by the African National Congress. As for the ANC, it continues to open offices in the major cities of Africa, with the latest one opened in Lagos, where it seeks to expand its literacy programs and promote pan-African unity in the regions it operates in. The organization expands its members across the continent, as it promotes its "peace through strength" campaign, getting Africans to join the organization to help in the education and enrichment of African communities across Africa. The construction of the Nelspruit Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator (NSSEC) is completed. The NSSEC has a speed of 50 multiplications per second, and consists of 20,000 relays and 12,500 vacuum tubes spread across a room 25 feet by 40 feet in size. The comupter will be used to calculate the loction of the moon at all times.
 * Southern Rhodesia: The government of Southern Rhodesia continues its development programs across the state, promoting the South African government's requests on the betterment of its black citizens. Economic growth results from the program's success in many areas, as the employment of blacks in the major cities helps them invest in businesses across Southern Rhodesia, as many black Africans spend their money in towns that once relied solely upon the business of whites to survive. With the increase in business exchanges, economy growth stems from the progressive ideals of the Smuts government. As in South Africa, the ANC continues to spearhead the literacy program in Rhodesia, educating native populations and assisting those with an education get into a college in the major cities. Highway and railway expansion sponsored by the government of South Africa sees an additional 2,500 kilometers of paved roads and railroads added to the transportation network of the unoin state. The Southern Rhodesian Defense Forces place several orders with the military companies of South Africa for deliveries of new tanks and aircraft in light of the new surplus of equipment to enter into the market as the SADF upgrades its military forces.
 * Namibia: The SANEC conducts a nuclear test with its supply of fissile material, though its fails. Originally suppose to generate a 1.4 kiloton explosion in the Namib Desert, the rushed test bomb did not detonate upon hitting the ground, and had to be disarmed fifteen minutes afterward. The SANEC sends the results of its tests to the United States for feedback on the results, and continues its work to better harness the nuclear power generated in the explosion. Considered unacceptable by government officials, the SANEC moves to enhance the detonation mechanisms in the bomb to prevent any issues in the future. Another test is slated for 1950, hopefully without any issues as seen in the previous failed test explosion. Economic growth continues as usual, with no change in pace in spite of the test nuke that failed to detonate in the desert. Far from any eyes, no one is aware of the failed nuclear test, and continue about their usual routines. The military is put on high alert however, in light of the Brazilian statements.
 * Southern Angola: The Angolans increase their military drills in light of the Brazilian statement given to the South African government. Recruitment drives throughout the state see thousands of young men rush to join the military, increasing the size of the Angolan Defense Forces to 45,015 personnel. The South African government ships 150 tanks to Namibe to reinforce the ADF's armored fleet, as well as 16 jet fighters for its air force. The glut of extra people flowing into southern Angola's cities sees the growth of the local economy, and the expansion of several "pleasure-related" industries in Namibe. The literacy rate in southern Angola continues to grow, as the military provides its own educational courses for the young men joining the forces, to support them in continuing their education outside of civilian life.
 * Lesotho and Swaziland: Lesotho continues to expand its industrial sector, as well as the modernization of its capital city. Work on developing the town of Mafetang begins, as investors move into see what industries could be developed in the area. In Swaziland, the growth of the diamond-mining sector continues as usual, though diversification begins in the state as the population grows. Little else of note aside from the nation-wide literacy program's success is seen.
 * South African Indian Ocean Territories: Mauritius expands its tourist and fishing industries, while Seychelles focuses exclusively on catering to the needs of the local military garrison. Development of the Chagos Archipelago in the center of the Indian Ocean begins, though little else is done given the tiny size of the atolls. Construction of an air base on the largest Chagosse atoll, Egmont, begins, and six combat aircraft are sent to the islands to serve as the local air force garrison.
 * They previously said no, nothing else is going to join you willingly. -Feud
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Republic of Colombia: Same as last turn.

1948.5
As India is embroiled in its own war, the wars with the other nations end.

The Khmer Rouge continunes to make attacks across the Thai border.

'''Ultranationalist groups angered by German cooperation with America begin to rise up throughout Germany, launching small-scale demonstrations in Berlin and Munich. The largest of the demonstrations, a 55,000-man march held in Berlin, causes major controversy when police fire on the demonstrators, killing 4 and wounding 33.'''


 * Um - I kind of have to call on this event while there would still be some ultra-nationalist groups, you have to keep in mind that in most Germans' minds, overt nationalism would be disavowed due to the outcome of "WW2" and keep in mind with a lot of countries in Europe going Communist or being in the French camp. The Germans would welcome an alliance with the Americans, as for the firing on protestors that bit is possible if it became a violent one. Let's face it, there is a reason it was called Red Berlin in the past. With Blood and Iron (talk) 11:52, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Should we be calling it WW2? It was just based in Europe, and UK and Italy didn't even participate. Anyway, now I shouldn't be saying this since you are - uhh - a 'friend' but I'll say it regardless. UK, Finland, Poland and the Baltics have indeed fallen to Communism but then again, the fact that USSR ceded Northwest Poland to Germany shows 'appeasement' by the USSR to please Germany. It would certainly lead to a better view of USSR by Germany and lead to a view that USSR is not that of a threat considering how Germany had been the aggressor. As for UK, judging from how everything is going, UK doesn't even pose a threat. UK doesn't even have a player and Canada is just like "The entire British navy arrives at Canada". As for the 'French bloc' you speak of, that is non-existent. There is no French bloc. Even Belgium is no longer inside the French sphere of influence. I think that what the Mods are trying to is perhaps have Germany create its own bloc?"It's not going  to suck itself."  13:54, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's happening. More unlikely things have happened in history so this really isn't farfetched. -Feud
 * Fair enough, but I'm not going down the line of brutal extremist Germany. Not the mods or anyone can force me to do so. Also, when I refer to the French camp I'm referring to Spain and Italy which are in France's pocket. As for the other issues mentioned, I'm not questioning the event. I'm just curious what brought it up, and stating what I did above again I plan to democratize the Reich. If it is in its own sphere there is no problem but i don't see the government changing because of a few protesters. With Blood and Iron (talk) 16:22, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

'''A post office is burned to the ground in Carmel, Indiana. Police investigation points towards a new radical political group, the True Americans, who are fiercely opposed to American imperialism and call for a return to traditional constitutionalist values and isolationism. As of right now, their total numbers and structure is unknown.'''

'''An anti-American group begins political activity in Colombia, calling for mass protests and boycotts on American products, which dominate the Colombian markets. Anti-American sentiment sweeps through the nation, culminating in demonstrations held in Bogota with up to 30,000 people. This movement is brutally suppressed by the Colombian government, and over 2,000 demonstrators are arrested and jailed. In response, the port in Barranquilla is essentially shut down as workers refuse to operate the second most important city in the nation. After a week of standoff between workers and the police, the police are given the order to move in and break up the strike. 33 Colombian workers are killed and hundred wounded in what would later be called Red Monday. Furthermore, the port city is heavily damaged in the ensuing chaos as oil leaks cause many raging oil fires throughout the port.'''

'''Resistance movements stiffen in Finland and Poland, and over 300 Soviet troops are killed in 6 months via various hit-and-run ambushes. An inventory check reveals that over 5,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns and hundreds of vehicles had been secretly laundered away from the Soviet military into rebel hands – however, the root of the corruption is not certain. Improvised explosive devices, particularly in Finland, manage to knock out dozens of trucks and one tank.'''

'''The South African government is shocked to find that its premier nuclear scientist has disappeared – his body is found 3 days later in a dumpster with a single bullet in the head. Furthermore, about a third of his work is missing from his personal quarters, with the rest having been safe in the laboratory. This is expected to delay nuclear research by a good year and a half.'''

'''Umm, there are two branches of the SANEC for exactly this reason (look back a dozen or so turns), one in Namibia and one in South Africa. The two branches coordinate on their research, so as to avoid losses of information and the threat of espionage which could comprise the entire program. Like I said before, I don't do anything without planning ahead. No self-respecting nation with a major project such as this would be dumb enough to have a single site developing nuclear weapons. This weapon shall be fully armed and operational; and then we shall have...peace. ~Viva'''

'''Take your event like everyone else is, Pita wrote all of these and major accidents happen of this sort have happened before. The Reasoning is to slow your nuclear research which is what pita said. He obviously doesnt think 52 is a good year for you. Especially since youve been sanctioned by the US as well as Brazil now -Feud'''

'''Pita aside, why is the United States sanctioning South Africa? Typically, there is a reason for steps such as that. ~Viva'''

'''Cross-oceanic trade takes a brutal hit as a 15,000-ton oil tanker catastrophically explodes in the middle of the Panama Canal. Rebuilding is expected to take at least a year, and Panama reaches out to America and surrounding nations for help.'''

'''Santos, São Paulo is wracked by a devastating fire that rages for three days. Most of the municipality is destroyed in the worst fire in Brazilian history. Rebuilding is expected to take at least 6 months for basic structures, and a year for a complete rebuild. Fortunately, the naval base escapes relatively unscathed in what many call the Divine Intervention.'''

'''Should have had that naval base burned down... Ya know, 6 months is like.. 1 turn? '''

'''Throughout India, the radical hindu White Roses strategically occupy the ports of Kandia, Paradip, Mumbai, Port Blair, Mormuago, and Kolkata, securing economy dominance over the secular loyalist group dubbed the “Red Roses” for their massacre of Indian villages. Any trade grinds to a halt as all Westerners are named infidels and western ships turned away at gunpoint.'''
 * Republic of Turkey: Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, the Second President of Turkey actively sought to westernize Turkey and implemented a series of laws for the Turks to disband their backward practices and embrace the modern world. However, unlike Mustafa Kemal; the new Premier did not call for the people to give up on religion and maintained a link between religion and the state. Keen on establishing Turkey as a major economic power in Europe in his very own way, he practiced high level of state intervention in the economics. Having invested a total of 5% of the Turkish GDP into education, the literacy rate in the nation has rose to 67%. This had a massive increase upon the size of those qualified in the workforce, and allowed Turkey to expand upon its automotive, agricultural, armament and shipbuilding industries. The profit gained from expanding these industries led to the development of a general mindset to focus upon these four industries as four pillars that would support Turkey as it marched forward. The automotive and shipbuilding industries in Turkey were particularly concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara region. In constrast to that, the armament industry and the agricultural industry were more widespread in Anatolia. However, the automotive and armament industry depended heavily upon Soviet technological aid. Indeed, other industries in Turkey was also given equal important such included the Turkish textile industry which was amongst the top in the world and the Turkish mineral industry which proved quite beneficial in maintaining Turkey self-sufficient for minerals whilst catering the needs of the neighbouring states. Communication and transport played a major role, and a major railroad system was completed which linked linked the entire state of Turkey, and now preparations were made to construct roadways and highways as well as a major bridge across the Bosporus. This also led to large scale urbanization, particularly in Thrace, Macedonia and Western Anatolia. In comparison to them, Central Anatolia was not quite urbanized with the exception of Ankara and Eastern Anatolia was largely in rural although by now, large scale development projects had been initiated. The Central Bank of Turkey and the Istanbul Stock Exchnage were established primarily to look over the stock exchange rate, and secure government funds and Turkish reserves as well as grant heavy interest-loans to major private companies who sought to invest in Turkey. Meanwhile, with heavy crime and the need to maintain law and order within the cities; the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] was established which acted as a police force to look over crime, corruption and tax evasion and were directly answerable to the Turkish Premier. The FESF also served to launch counter-intelligence missions as well as a propaganda force by keeping the media and press under their very control, and had a total size of 10,000 with the FESF depending largely on informants who were not counted. The Turkish Armed Forces stood at 200,000, the Airforce at 100,000 and the Marine Corps at 50,000 which kept the Turkish Peacetime Force at 350,000 whilst a reserve force of 200,000 was maintained. The headquarters of the Turkish fleet were established at the Golden Horn and the Turkish fleet expanded to include 80 ships and a plans to construct a fleet carrier were underway although technological support from the USSR was required. Moreover, in an attempt to exert Turkish control over the seas, the navy initiated patrols over the Aegean Sea, the Bosporus Straits, the Black Sea and the Gulf of Iskenderun. Along the same time, the WWI era Turkish aircraft was quickly replaced with the modern Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 and Yak-9 fighter and the Soviet Lavochkin L-5 and Petlyavok Pe-3 bombers. These aircraft were far superior to those previous used, possibly the best in Europe and offered greater speeds, wider field of view, better accuracy etc and the presence of such technology allowed Turkey to construct prototypes of their own, soon developing the Yenilmez Y-1 fighter. However, the Soviet fighters which were generally cheaper were still imported and orders for production of the Yenilmez Y-1 were not given. The total size of the Turkish airforce was maintained at 500 aircraft. The Turkish infantry were heavily armed with German StG 44 Rifles whilst the armoured divisions used tanks of Soviet and French nature. This allowed Turkey to quickly close in on the technological gap that existed in terms of automotive, as it had soon built the Atlay II tank based of the designs French CharB1 Tank and the Soviet T-34 Tank. The Turkish armament factories initiated mass production of the Atlay II tank as well as StG 44 rifles which were re-engineered to serve Turkish interests. Meanwhile, Turkish scientists made minor progress into nuclear physics largely due to little knowledge and relative lack of government funding. In order to further expand Turk influence, Turkey continued funding independence groups in Iraq and influencing such groups to lead a coup d'état over the weak Monarchy [Turn 9 of 10]. Armaments are no longer purchased from Germany and the Panzers IV are used to arm the Greek army against the Greek rebels. Meanwhile, with the discovery that Argentina was funding Greek rebels; the Argentinian diplomats residing in Turkey are expelled and any Argentinian ship or ship with an Argentinian national onboard are forbidden to enter into Turkish waters. It is generally believed in Turkey that it was a PATO plot to undermine Turkey, which leads to general negative opinion of PATO. Along the same time, the Fascist and Communist Parties are officially unbanned. 
 * ​Turkish Dominion of Greece: After defeat at the hands of the Turkish army, a new puppet regime was established in Greece under Governor, Ioannis Rallis. Under his leadership, drastic measures were undertaken including the execution of the former leadership of Greece as well as ban upon Greek Nationalist groups and all private paramilitary groups were forbidden. As per Turk instructions, the Governor had the Turkish flag raised at every Greek historical as well as cultural site and a statue of Turkish President, Mustafa Fevzi Cakmak was built at the Syntagma Square. The new Governor announced the creation of Greece Law Enforcement Force consisting of 50,000 police officers which would serve to maintain order in the nation and purchased 100,000 rifles from Turkey for the arming of this Force. Under his leadership, the militarist policies of the former leadership were completely abandoned and the government funded more upon advancing the Greek agrarian economy, expanding the industry and developing the poor living conditions in Greece. Moreover, he supported large-scale immigration of Turks. With the Greek rebels rising, the already existing Greek force of 50,000 and the Turkish force of 20,000 collaborated to fight against the rebels. Diplomats were also sent to coordinate with Italy to wipe out rebel strongholds. Moreover, with news arriving of foreign support to Greece, the navy initiates massive patrols around Greek coasts. It is declared that everyone would have to use the Port of Athens or Thessaloniki. Ships seen elsewhere would be immediately destroyed and ships arriving at coastlines where rebel strongholds are present, are ordered to be attacked unless it is noticed that they belong to the Turkish navy. Along the same time, air strikes are launched by the Turkish airforce upon Greek Hellenic Strongholds and state propaganda makes sure to tell the people that the rebels have full plans on burning Athens and other Greek cities to the ground. Meanwhile, it is discovered that Argentina is funding Greek rebels
 * Turkish Dominion of Cyprus: The brother of the Greek Prime Minister, George Rallis was elected as the Governor of Cyprus to signify virtual enosis between Greece and Cyprus. In Cyprus, merchant shipping was largely promoted due to its proximity to the Suez Canal, and the port of Famagusta acted as a major port in Eastern Mediterranean. The Cypriot economy largely depended upon export of agricultural goods which was promoted and tourism maintained a major role in the economy. Moreover, the strategic position of Cyprus allowed Turkey to establish complete control over Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Laws were passed to maintain peace between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and the government was particular not to take any sides for fear that it would result in a civil war. Meanwhile, the Turks from Turkey migrated to Cyprus in large numbers.
 * Turkish Overseas Military Establishment: Military bases were constructed at Nablus, 6km North-East of Amman and at Jordanian border with Egypt beside the Mediterranean Sea. At these military bases, a total of 6000 troops were deployed. Along the same time, naval bases were constructed at Tel Aviv and Haifa where 500 marines and 20 ships were sent. The presence of such bases at strategic positions thus allowed Turkey to conjure greater control over the Mediterranean Sea as well maintain proximity with Saudi Arabia and the Suez Canal. Meanwhile, the Turkey restricted any uranium mining and therefore, railroads from the mining sites to Haifa were not constructed.
 * South African Dip: South Africa would like to establish an trade pact with Turkey. It would be beneficial to both parties if Turkey would to accept out offer of trade.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built. Thailand's military to the border continues to deal with the attacking Khmers.
 * Canada: William Lyon Mackenzie King, after 21 years as Prime Minister, resigns as Prime Minister. Louis St. Laurent is named leader of the Liberal Party, and hence the 12th Prime Minister of Canada. St. Laurent vows to continue the same policies as his predecessor. One of the first things he agrees to is the United States proposal for a free trade zone, despite protests from the Conservative party an many members of the British Exodus. The Royal Canadian Navy continues its world wide tour, and the Canadian economic boom continues. With the destruction/crippling of the Panama Canal, the railroads in Canada for shipping between the East and West, is not more important than ever, and the city of Winnipeg, which long expected to be the major city in Canada before the Panama Canal, booms once again. Prime Minister St Laurent, like his predecessor, denounces the People's Union of Britain for being Communist.
 * Bulgaria: The Bulgarian government tries to build its first war plane.
 * Mihai I is the King and Petru Groza is the Prime Minister. Romania has 250.000 soldiers. Romania is happy that because of cooperation to make a plain with Switzerland. Since it did a test that was successful, Romania wants to buy ten. Romania is going to make a small cheap car in 1950's.
 * Swiss Dip: Switzerland agrees to sell ten jets, at US$ 1,900,000 each
 * Argentina: The government continues economic and infrastructure improvement, and plans a interstate system to ease transportation, and serve as a rapid deployment route if invaded. Due to military build up by the South Africans, the Army drafts 10,000 soldiers into active, the Navy drafts 3000, and the Marine Corps drafts another 3000 Marines. Training continues, and the Army begins to design a new tank based off the Brazilian designs, but with a 100 mm cannon and more machine guns. Work on the assault rifle is complete and 10,000 are ordered and completed for the Army. Another order of 20,000 are planned for the beginning of next year. The Air Force receives another 12 jets, six jet trainers, and three heavy bombers. The Navy receives another 12 jet fighters. We begin a series of war games, involving one of our aircraft carriers, five destroyers, two cruisers, one heavy landing ship, the support ships, 1000 marines, 2000 soldiers, 20 light tanks, 20 medium tanks, and over 60 combat aircraft. (Eco/Infra Turn)
 * Uruguay: Connection of infrastructure with that of Argentina is completed this year. economic integration pact with Argentina is signed, giving a larger market to Uruguayan businesses. Montevideo opens to shipping that redirects from Brazil, and temporary rail lines are laid to Brazil in order to ship the goods back to Brazil. Tariffs are temporarily suspended to aid in the Brazilian recovery. (Eco/Infra Turn)
 * Paraguay: (Mil/Infra Turn)
 * Iran: continue to develop the economy and staert to develop a purely Iranian tanks using American tanks as a base. We offer newly independent Pakistan a defensice alliance and a trade agreement. The general population dislike the Soviet and to a lesser extend the Turk due their expansionism ambition. Iranian Kurdistan continue to thrive and we start to secretly support the Turkish Kurd trought Iranian Kurdistan to indirectly extend our influence in the region while weakening the Turkish.
 * Switzerland is preparing for elections in 1949, with the Social Democrats seen as front-runners. The Arbalète N-20 jet begins further production and the Swiss Air Force takes delivery of the first five and begins to sell ten to Romania. Swiss influence over Liechtenstein continues [Turn Four of Six] with plans are for an eventual possible union of the states. Swiss scientists continue to tinker with small amounts of uranium and look to work with other European scientists to find peaceful/non-military uses for atomic energy. Switzerland begins looking into building a small fighter jet.
 * Belgium: We continue to develop the economy and military. Government indicates that Wallonian army should go bigger as it expected. Military would be in total residence of upgrade.
 * German Reich: In the second national elections since the restoration of democracy, the Social-democrats lose a little bit of the support they had gained in the aftermath of the war as nationalist sentiments rise up as a result of recent events with the americans. Realizing that a firmer hand will be needed to keep civil order in Berlin and other right wing strongholds, the Centre Prty, and COnservative party scrap a bill which would have allowed american troops to be stationed on German soil . the borders with France and the USSR remain heavily fortified as german troops are stationed all the way along these borders. The G 06 becomes the standard rifle of the Wermacht with it having fully replaced the semi automatic and bolt actions rifles of the War with france and Russia. more Panzer V and apcs roll off the production and the performance of the tank is unmatched on continental Europe. Development of the new jet fighters continues and new bombers begins. The Germans develop a new decryption machine known as the puzzlebox to fool other european powers (similar to the otl british machine used to break the enigma machine, in other words the first computer), Seeing that they lack a proper intellegence service the German military formally create the Military Counter-Intellegence Service (MAD), and the Federal Intellegence Agency (BND), The Puzzle box is placed under their management. All other projects are placed under heavy security clearance as the government hopes to keep their technilogical advantage on the continent. Rocket development continues and the government taking a moderate interest in the talks about a space program decide to invest in the project though these plans are put on hold for a few years as reconstruction of the Rhine continues. The Rhineland is slowly starting to return to its pre-war conditions with the large factories of Essen and other towns restored and expanding their activities and other companies expanding into the area aswell. Silesia's industrial sector continues to expand at an amazing rate, Germany offers Prague a free trade agreement once more (mod response please). 4 more nukes are made and placed in undisclosed bunkers for protection and secrecy. The Posen-Prussia District is intergrated into the Reich as the provinces of Posen and Greater Prussia with West Prussia being added to East Prussia. All those living in the area are giving residency with all those desiring german citizenship being required to swear allgience ot the fatherland and to the Kaiser. All those of German blood do it in a heartbeat while only a few polish do so, the vast majority remain in passive resistence ot their new status, At this point due to the mass expulsion of Polish from the area only about 30  of the population is polish while the vasr majority are german who have fled from eastern europe. development of infrastructure in the area continues.  The N 20 jet proves a capable machine but the German high command continues to seek a better design.
 * South African Dip: The South African military wishes to procure the lastest rocket designs from Germany. We are willing to pay $70 million for the license needed to produce German rockets in South Africa.
 * Brazil: The nation of Brazil continues to show immense growth in its industrial sectors as much of the industrial output goes to other nations on the continent rather than other nations outside of the continent. The Fire in Santos is a terrible tragedy and immediate relief is taken to rebuild the city. While this is going on much shipping traffic is moved to Rio De Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Bahia, and Recife. These 4 ports are used to pick up much the missed traffic in Santos and the workload is spread evenly however this does force the expansion of all four of these cities port districts. The Santos Naval base, second largest in Brazil surviving unscathed is an immense miracle and the military forces there are able to keep the peace, and provide support rather quickly to the beleagured populace. The City catalogued its casualties at a staggering 5000 people as many were unable to escape the fire, cut off by criscrossing infernos across the cities. The Santos Fire Storm as its called is a brutal hit to Brazils shipping and even with the redistribution to other cities, it still doesnt make up for the Continents largest shipping port to be put out of commission. The Brazilian government passes an emergency package for the city to help it rebuild as well donating millions in rebuilding funds. The Brazilian economy as a result still grows but at a slower rate than before. The Brazilian Military begins to develop further as well with a next generation tank put under development as well to break out of the First Generation era of Tanks. Research into next generation jet aircraft continues as well with good progress being made. The Brazilian navy continues to develop as well with its two light carriers still under construction. The Brazilian fleet does add another 5 destroyers from the Shipyards in Rio De Janeiro. The Brazilian government continues to sanction South Africa. The Brazilian military moves a few squadrons to the newly built airfields on the south atlantic islands. The Brazilian military in the biggest wargames in the nations history practices a massive amphibious invasion on the Coast of Brazil involving a large amount of Brazils Marine Corps. This force makes incredible progress and has many of its amphibious reach shore with little to no issues, and its IFV's and APC's currently a mass produced prototype make good impressions. Brazil looks onward to colombia seeing its issues. Brazil agrees to the equipment sale to Argentina.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela continues to develop its oil industry and thanks to Brazil sees no decrease in the amount of oil being shipped out and only an increase. The Venezuelan oil industries have made extensive inroads into greater production and the money from the industry has begun to help Venezuela develop other production and industrial capabilities in a much better fashion. The Venezuelan government looks to prepare for another election.
 * Guyanan Confed: The Confederation continues to industrially develop. The Population due to Brazilian migration has hit about 1 million as new industrial areas pick up significantly. The Guyanan government begins to show more pro brazil control as integration would serve to develop Guyana heavily into an industrial state of Brazil and would improve the areas significantly.
 * Argentinean Dip: Due to the importance of the damaged port, Argentina will take on some cargo shipments for the Brazilians. We also offer the Brazilians an aid package of ten million dollars for relief, and banks offer loans for a fixed 2.3% interest per year for a 50 year period. Construction and emergency crews are deployed to aid the Brazilians in recovery as well.
 * Brazil Dip: We will take the deal minus the emergency crews, ours are more than capable.
 * South Africa: The government of South Africa continues to expand the nation's industrial sectors, putting more emphasize on self-sufficiency. Critical to this is the employment of black Africans in the economy, who are taking a larger and larger role in the expansion of the national economy. Several armories are built throughout the nation, with two such weapons plants built in the city of Kimberly. Exports to Brazil, never truly vital to the economy, are halted altogether, and the such for other trade partners in the world begins, with special focus on China and India. The South African navy increases its patrols in the Atlantic Ocean, and with the completion of the SAS Paul Kruger aircraft carrier, the expansion of the naval forces in the Atlantic allows for increased coverage of the region. The new carrier is assigned to the port city of Walvis Bay, where it is boarded by its crew and stocked with fuel, ammunition, and fighter craft, before heading out to sea. Two destroyers and the five requested landing ships are added to the fleet, in addition to three new minesweepers and six frigates. Third destroyer was cut from the requested list of ships in light of the navy's planned redesign for its future warships. 60 Verwoester Md.III are delivered to the army as well as 20 Atlas Arends, and the training for 500 new marines has been completed in Mauritius. The government invests in the development of new computer technologies for South Africa, seeking to build upon the success of the NSSEC in Nelspruit, which has provided accurate data on the moon's location for six months straight. Construction of a new computer at the University of Cape Town begins, with plans to design new computer technologies in that city. The ANC establishes new branch offices in other parts of Africa, promoting the ideals of the party, and the need for a pan-African union capable of resisting foreign powers and educating the masses in Africa. With focus on empowering Africans as the main theme of the ANC's message, the party encourages many Africans to join the group, and help expand the party's power base in Africa. At home, education of the black African population continues, and construction of modern cities in the black homeland territories of South Africa continues, with the aim of providing native blacks a high standard of living in the country. Prime Minister Jan Smuts authorizes the participation of the ANC in South African politics, seeking to begin work on handing power over the native African population. Having run on the platform that white minority rule could only go on for so long, Smuts has successfully made the case to the white population that the ANC is a capable force willing to work with whites following complete racial integration in South Africa. Having proven itself in the literacy programs and propaganda campaigns in southern Angola, the African National Congress has been accepted by several members of Parliament as mature enough to assume power when the time comes. Reverend John Langalibalele Dube, leader of the ANC, is admitted into the Parliament of South Africa by the prime minister, and begins to assume his official duties as an MP of South Africa. South Africa begins work on a massive coal-to-oil project, seeking to convert its huge stockpiles of coal into oil through a method known as coal liquefication. Given that coal can be converted into higher value hydrocarbons, the South African government sponsors the project fully, and constructs several coal-to-oil plants throughout the country.
 * Southern Rhodesia: Southern Rhodesia expands its military forces from 22,146 personnel to 34,078 personnel, to increase its participation in the Union Defence Forces. Expansion of the local industries takes priority in the nation, with the construction of several factories related to steel production opened in the city of Salisbury. Acknowledging the South African government's request that all union states expand their local industries for great economic independence from the world market, Southern Rhodesia moves to fulfill its union obligations. The government begins drawing up plans for Operation Good Samaritan, the details of which remain unknown to even the South African government.
 * Southern Angola: The middle class population of southern Angola begins to emerge as good government planning and expansion of the local industries related to oil production and cash crops exports expand. The city of Namibe finds itself one of the most highly developed areas in South Africa, and considered the "Johannesburg of Angola" as wealth pours into the city. Development of the countryside in southern Angola continues as the expansion of the railways linking to fertile farmlands and mining centers, as well as the growing settlements out in the far eastern half of the state, to the major cities of southern Angola. Military training continues along the northern border of the state, with the equipment delivered to the ADF put to use in the military wargames.
 * Namibia: The SANEC moves to deal with the recent breach of security at its nuclear research site. Many scientists are actually pleased with the head scientists demise, stating that his unfeasible plans and eccentric ideas were holding the project back. He was in fact the reason for the test bomb's failure earlier in the year, and a more competent head is appointed to lead the program. It is expected that the next bomb will perform better than the one designed by the last scientist, with a greater level of professionalism assigned to the program. All on-site personnel are not permitted to leave, and several NDF personnel are stationed around the site to prevent any attempts to breach security, and all important research documents are to be left in the laboratory at all times, with no fewer than twenty armed personnel assigned to guard duty. A secondary research sites is built deeper into the Namib Desert, where parallel research will take place, just in case another assassination happens. Namibia continues its economic and industrial development, with priority placed on the mining of uranium. Another ton of U-352 fissile material is produced and sent to the storage sites in the desert.
 * Lesotho and Swaziland: The modernization of Maseru is completed by the government, with the new capital city's street plans one of modernity. The population around the city are permitted to move in, and establish themselves in the city, with many middle-class Basotho in other parts of South Africa, moving home to live in the newly redesigned capital. In Swaziland, the development of new industries continues with government oversight. The expansion of a newly build textile plant is completed, and employed hundreds of women looking to help expand the savings of their families. The encouragement of women to join in the economy of the nation sees thousands of Swazi women taking up jobs while their husbands and sons are off at work in the mines and refineries. The ANC sees the change as a form of female empowerment, and promotes the change in other parts of the nation and Africa itself.
 * South African Indian Ocean Territories: Expansion of the industries and economy of the island territories continue. With the increase of marine personnel training in the region, local businesses see an upswing in sales from off-duty marines in the area. The construction of the airbase in the Chagasso Islands is completed, and the air force of South Africa establishes a presence there in the form of the six aircraft assigned to the islands protection. A force of 150 marines are assigned to the islands south of the Maldives, to protect the islands from any potential assaults from the Indians fighting on the subcontinent to the north. Two warships are also assigned to patrol duties to deal with any refugees fleeing the civil war in India.
 * That's a really cheap way to avoid a mod event, Viva. 
 * Oh? And how am I avoiding it? You've increased the time it'll take for me to get a bomb, I can't change that. So I honestly don't see what it is I'm avoiding. ~Viva 
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to expand and grow, and this year brings some important changes to the Soviet military and policy, both abroad and at home. The issue of the 300 dead Soviet soldiers angers the military and the government greatly, and the government does what it can to address all issues of the problem. New regulations and proceedures are required at ammunition and vehicle storehouses in order to prevent such drastic leakage of weapons and vehicles from disappearing. Furthermore, the central government has the NKVD search through all aspects of the military to determine who could be behind such criminal actions. A few suspected culprits are rounded up and either sent to gulags or shot, although the investigation is still ongoing. In order to deal with rebellious Poles and Finns, the Polish Occupation Zone is reformatted as a new republic within the Soviet Federal system, and the establishment of a loyal communist government is put into place. Training of national and loyal police forces in both Finland and Poland is done to help the military deal with any incidents. It is expected with the greater regulations and higher government involvement the rebels will either cease their activity or otherwise become more easier to deal with. Domestically, the government carries on with its program of industrialization and continued modernization of the Soviet economy and military. More factories are built in varied places around the country to produce goods for both the military and the people. Technology-wise, the Soviet Union continues to march forward, eager to catch up with the rest of the world. The AK-48 assault rifle is finished this year, and after extraordinary performance in weapons trials is ordered into full production. Better tanks and now jet planes are also produced in order to keep the theory of deep operations up to date and in full effect, while experimental rocket prototypes are also constructed. More ships, namely battleships, destroyers, cruisers, submarines, and a few aircraft carriers are also built over a period of time to help the Soviet navy retain at least some degree of parity with the rest of the world. Chemical weapons are also continuously produced, typically either short range rockets or artillery shells. Soviet scientists announce that they have finished the construction of a nuclear device, and that they expect to be able to detonate it next year. In the meantime, a weapons testing range for that very purpose is constructed in the steppes of Kazakhstan. On the foreign front, the Soviets reach out to Britain, Afghanistan, and the Khmer Rouge, offering weapons and general cooperation in military and diplomatic endeavors. (I asked a mod about this and Afghanistan does agree, I assume the others would as well since they are both Communist, if not, let me know.) Turkey is also provided the weapons and vehicles that they asked for over a period of time. Attempts to influence the Communist parties in Iraq and Pakistan, eager to increase influence in that area of the world, also increase in number. Noting the increased movement and training of Iranian troops and the construction of Iranian border fortifications along the Iranian-Soviet border, the Soviet Union does likewise, building fortifications and moving more troops to the border in case any incidents occur.
 * Mongolia: Mongolia continues to make some effort to modernize and industrialize, although the typically rural landscape and population has made this considerably difficult to do effectively. The military continues to train with the Soviets, and more and more Soviet surplus is provided to the Mongolian military to help them stay up to date with weapons and supplies.
 * Finland: The military and local government joins the Soviets in trying to crack down on rebellious Finns, and efforts are also made to try to bring them back into the fold peacefully if at all possible. Rebuilding the country is still underway, and more services are being provided to the Finns with each passing month. It is hoped that through these efforts, the Soviets will be able to earn the loyalty or at the very least the obedience of the Finns and enable their sway over the country.
 * Baltic Federal People's Republic: The military and police also perform a bit of a crack down in order to prevent the sort of unrest or rebellion seen in Finland and Poland over the past few months. The government also helps the country to rebuild, another reason for the merger of the three Baltic countries.
 * Saudi Arabia: Military and economy improve. With the discovery of oil, the Saudi economy continues to grow. We continue to ask for nations to engage in development deals for oil, and oil-based infrastructure continues to grow. Industry continues to grow at a slow rate. Research into modern weaponry begins. Military stands at 70,000 men. Naval expansion continues. With the ongoing war, Saudi Arabia declares neutrality. Saudi Arabia accepts the American offer. With support from the Germans, Americans and Iranians, Saudi Arabia moves on Kuwait.
 * Kingdom of Yemen: The military and economy improve. The nation sees a relative increase of its industry, mostly in the Oil Section. Military stands at 35,000 men. improvements in military tech continue as well, using weapon blueprints to produce arms for the military. Oil profits also allow for the purchase of arms from other nations. Yemen moves on Aden, hoping to reclaim the Greater Yemeni Area
 * Kingdom of Kuwait: Mil/eco improvements. More later.
 * Australia: The nation is preparing for the 1949 federal election. Infrastructure is improved. The railway connecting Adelaide and Perth, passing through Port Augusta, is still being built. (Now the terminus is in Ceduna, AU-SA)
 * Papua: Economy is improved.
 * Indonesia: A new factory is being built in Surabaya.
 * China: Military and Economy is improved, seeing as hostiliates with Japan has ceased and an agreement as been reached. As the Republic of China starts to centralize, we also start developing several major Chinese cities, and prepare economically for the reintroduction of Chinese land back into the Republic.
 * South African Dip: South Africa would like to invest into the local businesses of China, as well as support the economic redevelopment of the nation in the wake of the turbulent period China has just undergone. If you wish, South Africa is also willing to aid in the rebuilding of the Chinese military as well, in addition to providing military equipment to the Chinese army, air force, and navy, all at discounted prices.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We graciously accept all the offers proposed by the South Africans, forming friendly relations with them.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and military. The military currently consists of 350,000 men, as conscription ends. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. Miklós Horthy is overthrown, and Charles II becomes King of Hungary. The government purchase several public transportation businesses. (Economy and military turn)
 * Ethiopia: We would also like to be included in the peace talks to ratify our faith. We invade British Kenya, Somaliland and Southern Sudan.(mod response) We also build up our navy. We continue to industrialize and begin demobilizing in hope France accepts our deal.
 * The United States takes a hit to its economy this year. Troops are deployed to the Canal Zone to help clear the wreckage and restore the affected area to working conditions. Back at home, Thomas E. Dewey wins the presidential election and pins the recent bad events on the Democrats, who are now the minority in both houses of Congress. One of his first steps is to denounce the True Americans as communist traitors. This claim is met with thunderous support everywhere, as is evidenced in newspapers and public polls. As the Army ends the occupation of Haiti, the occupation of Mexico continues. The United States begins to build more nukes. The Territory of Alaska is admitted as the 50th state. President Dewey officially creates the North American Free Trade Area that was previously proposed by Wallace. The Bahamas, Mexico, and Haiti are the other nations are that are part of the area, but Canada is also invited to join. The first monkey astronaut is launched into space.
 * The American military occupation of Mexico continues. Preparations are made for free and open elections, but the military expects fighting to break out between the two opposing factions. In the meantime, Eisenhower is moved into Mexico as the military governor of the whole nation, unseating Patton, who resigns from the army. Meanwhile, all the fancy and advanced equipment is moved to the southern border.

1949
'''The weak Communist government in Britain suffers massive rebellions. It is predicted to fall within the next year.'''

'''Kashmir revolts against Pakistan. They are not strong, but are still a burden.'''

'''The American occupation of Mexico leads to economic troubles in the region, especially in Mexico and US border states. Cuba is also affected.'''

Economic troubles in South Africa and Brazil.

The Khmer Rouge continues to make raids across the border into Thailand.


 * Great Britain: In the second regime change in a decade, the British military launches a coup d'état against the weak communist government. The government falls relatively quickly as it is unable to garner the support of the hungry and angry populace. Director of Internal Security Tony Reacher leads the coup, which culminates in the assassination of the entire Politburo of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Moving quickly, Reacher enforces mandatory curfew and martial law. Reacher calls for a new constitution, and an interim government is formed under the leadership of Reacher himself.
 * Ecuador: Economy becomes the focus of the Melendez administration. He decides to downsize the military, as he says that the nation should work towards industrialization rather than militarism (also, he knows that Brazil and Argentina have Ecuador's back). We improve our economy as well as the infrastructure within Guayaquil. We hope for Guayaquil to become a major industrial city due to it being the only major Ecuadorian port. With Peru and Colombia not so trustworthy, we ask GEACOPS, New Zealand, the USA, China, and Australia to form a Pacific trading organization. We focus on industrializing the city of Guayaquil, which we hope to become a larger and more important city. Expeditions in the East of the country continue.
 * France: The current active military stands at roughly 2,000,000 active soldiers, with a great reserve of built tanks, various armaments, aircraft, and naval vessels. With the reserves at a full 1.5 million. The AMX 13's first prototype is being built as we speak to role out the next generation of tanks. The right leaning politicians continue to hold a firm hold on the political scene in France, as the Soviets are still a great beast to watch, and rumors of Communism growing amongst the British. We plan on using the monetary gains from the Germans to build up our industry, improve our infrastructure, and update our military. Along with our upgrades to our nation we plan on using the monetary gains to begin development into nuclear research with Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the forefront, the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique is a joint funded government and political program. We continue to have positive relations to our trade partners and allies, and try and rebuild broken relations caused by the war. We are also willing to sell the excess. We sell to the nations of Ecuador, Iran, and other nations willing to buy (Military/Economy turn).
 * Ecuador no longer wants the weapons. No new weapons will be bought.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built. Thailand deploys more military to the border and continues to deal and fight against the attacking Khmers.
 * Brazil: Brazil continually facing economic trouble looks for ways out of this only to see that the rebuilding of Santos is the only way to combat as the loss of an entirely productive city has given a solid hit to Brazils growing economy. With nearly a full year done since the great fire of Santos, the city has had much of its capabilities rebuilt with the shipping port status making headlines again as Santos takes its spot now as the 2nd largest shipping port behind Rio De Janeiro with soon expectations to overtake it once again as the largest shipping port. The Brazilian economy while taking a hit, does not exactly fully slow its growth as minor growth still takes place within an acceptable projection rather than a total contraction of the economy. However this is known as the 1949 recession as various industries show lower prices. The Brazilian Nuclear program continues to manufacture the weapons adding another two weapons to the arsenal. The Brazilian jet designers fully develop its new jet the F-108 Falchion the next generation fighter aircraft for Brazil. With the further developsment of the airforce the Navy still continues development of its first carrier fighters and brings out a few prototype designs. The Brazilian light carrier fleet continues construction with the two light carriers entering their final years of construction. The Brazilian development of Tanks continues as do IFV's and APC's The Nation itself continues its own industrial growth in differing industries particularly the new exploitation of Oil. Brazil makes a major breakthrough in rocketry sending the T-1 Rocket into a testing capacity now.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela continues to develop its main oil production capacity and continues heavily with its moderate commodities industries as well as some rubber. The Venezuelan nation does continues to see more want for an increased military in order to more effectively contribute to PATO. The Venezuelan air force adds Brazilian fighters to the air fleet.
 * Guyanan Confederation: The Guyanan confederation continues to develop with intense bauxite and manganese mining taking place. The Population grows ever more Brazilian as more assimilation and migration takes place
