Miracle at Marne Revamped (Map Game)

Welcome to the Miracle at Marne Map Game.

The Point of Divergence is the Battle of Marne, considered the Miracle at Marne (OTL). From September 5th to September 12th of 1914. The Germans began a strong campaign to crush France during the first month of the war. This led the Battle of Marne in which the Germans following a revision of tactics won the battle and went on to win the war for the most part gaining large amounts of new territory from the war and managed to capitalize on the breakup of her allies for her own personal gain.

Following the influenza and the large depopulation of Africa, more white settlers have taken up residence in the European colonies with Germany and Britain leading.
 * Japan: Japan begins to build up its military and improves infrastructure. Meanwhile, Japan asks Britain and France for an alliance and trade agreement.
 * Switzerland: Switzerland finalizes the custom's union and  an open border policy with Liechtenstein, (we already share the Swiss Frank with Liechtenstein). Social tensions continue to be calmed as the workers benefits continue to be improved. Farming improves as worker benefits begin to take affect.
 * Switzerland Diplomacy: We propose the Zurich Agreement, a proposal to the European nations of Liechtenstein, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, France, Belgium, and Netherlands to create an open market of steel, iron and coal markets. This region will be known as the Zurich Zone.
 * German Dip: We agree wholeheartedly.
 * France: although reluctant due to the entrance of Germany, it decides that it is better to do this rather than perhaps avoid a successful agreement that may turn out good for France.
 * Australia: Stanley Bruce becomes Prime Minister of Australia and begins agricultural and industrial improvements. In order to improve the economy, the PM implements  the policy of "Men, Money and Markets." In this policy Bruce encourages immigration from the British for new opportunities and for markets. Australia proposes to lead an Asian Super Dominion. Since Great Britain is on the other side of the world from colonies such as Malaya, Singapore, Hong Kong, Papau New Guinea, Fiji, and others, we believe we can more effectively administer these colonies and insure British influence in Asia and Oceania. 
 * Britain agrees to all of the above with two exceptions: Singapore and Hong Kong.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We thank Britain for the agreement and we reorganize ourselves as the Oceanic Commonwealth, with Australia being the head and we also try to clarify if New Zealand is part of the new Commonwealth.
 * Sweden: The King of Sweden, seeing the industrial progress in the countries of Germany and Great Britain, begins to use them as a model to use the mass amounts of resources and prepare for increased industrialization. With the other nations of Scandinavia surrounding us we begin to influence them and lean their allegiance to Sweden. We also put forward a trade proposition and alliance to Germany.
 * Netherlands: The nation of the Netherlands begins increasing agricultural and industrial yields through modernization of respective equipment. Production of vegetables and other agricultural products increases as traditional fields begin to be replaced with modern farms, equipped with mechanized tractors and other modern technological innovations. With industrial sectors growing, many begin to realize the ineffectiveness of older roads, and many begin considering the creation of a paved national highway system, that would connect major metropolitan areas with other important areas across our nation, including ports, shipyards and factories. Railroad networks also slightly grow, although at a small pace, fueled almost exclusively by private investments from large corporations. Industrial efforts also trickle down into the colonies. In the Dutch East Indies the Grote Postweg (Great Post Road) goes under light maintenance to increase its transport and shipping capabilities. We ask to join the Zurich Zone, and its European nations of Liechtenstein, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, France, and Belgium, to create an open market of steel, iron and coal. We also ask for an alliance with Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.
 * German Empire: The German Empire now recovering from the moderate effects of its influenza seeing an opportunity to help expand its colonial possessions more heavily begins to offer a more industrialized approach to the colonies as well as a strict segregation of blacks and whites. With a population of nearly 250,000 throughout its various colonies, the German colonial empire previously insubstantial and unpopulated has reached new heights. Research into new tank designs begins with the main one taking precedence as a medium tank made for maximum efficiency. The German air force also continues its research on a new plane with the previous proposition for designs passing initial trials spectacularly. This new plane is called the X-109 with the X short for experimental or prototype. The German resource rights in Iraq particularly its oil fields (followed the Urabi revolt in Egypt in 1882) are beginning to be exploited in the anticipation of the Baghdad railways completion. Oil becomes increasingly important throughout the German economy as a fuel among other things. The Military as well is improved to a degree with more professional troops being trained to replace draftees still in service. The Infrastructure is also improved. German economic influence over Belarus, and Ukraine remains nearly absolute pushing the governments to be increasingly reliant on Germany for economic development.
 * German Colonial Africa: The African colonies continue to expand their populations and resource extraction capabilities with South West Africa, Gabon and Congo taking precedence. The colonization of these areas continues with fortified German settlements, nearly 80,000 Germans have migrated to German colonies with the first large scale German city being built up in the Congo. The resource exploitation particularly for gold in Namibia expands as well.
 * German Colonial Asia: While being less profitable than going to German Africa, the German colonies in Asia, seeing the problems stemming from the previous war, turn toward fortification and the conversion from light points to rubber, and naval powerhouses. Light immigration takes place here as well.
 * Duchy of Finland: Now free of Russian influence Finland immediately buys equipment from Germany and builds up its armed forces to maintain its independence. Along with this, the Finnish armed forces help with rebuilding infrastructure and upgrading existing undamaged infra. The economy is also expanded slightly.
 * Congress of Poland: Poland now at least semi free begins setting up its economy, and military to German standards. However, infrastructure is still handled by a largely German-led business coalition. The Congress itself, however, does recognize it owes Germany for its independence and regardless of previous outlooks a more respect is established toward the Germans rather than friendliness. With a population of about 3.7 million the Congress remains one of the smallest states in Europe.
 * Estonia: Regardless of the large amount of Estonian nationalism the people of the country put faith in the Germans as well as their respect for not absorbing them into their nation. Estonia seeing the economic success of Germany begins to model itself more heavily on the German economy and military spreading its political influence into Latvia, and Lithuania.
 * Latvia: With the Latvian military forces previously defeated attempting to fully gain their own self determination begin to align themselves toward the Estonians and model themselves after the German economy but are forced to rely almost entirely on the German economy. The weakness of the government leaves German officials majority in charge.
 * Lithuania: With independence achieved Lithuania attempts to settle internal issues and work on its economy but remains forced to rely on Germany for economic development. Estonian influence, however, remains largely prevalent which does, however, remain strangely Pro-German.
 * Russia: begins to lose authority over the people; the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party's underground gazette, Pravda, begins to call for revolution, as Trotsky and Stalin have yet another falling-out, and Trotsky rejoins the Menshevik underground. A Communist-led riot occurs in Archangelsk, where it is brutally crushed by Cossacks; in protest, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Constitutional Democrats walk out in protest, as do the Labour group and the Octobrists. This leaves the Duma short of its quorum, and it disbands, leaving Tsar Nicholas in de jure, as well as de facto, control. When he calls no new elections, protests against the government become more open.
 * France: The military and navy are built up. Guiana is allowed more freedom and promised to eventually become a commonwealth of France. While this, due to the recent defeat in the war, many French from the border with Germany and Belgium flee to the south and some cross the Mediterranean settling in North Africa - mostly around Tunis and Algeria's northeastern coast. While this, economy begins to progress as a few companies begin making weaponry to protect the French nation. While this, it joins the Zurich agreement and asks Spain for a military alliance as well as Britain and the United states.
 * Belgium: King Albert I issues the Neutrality Decree of 1923, stating that it will not accept alliance offers from ANY nation. The Belgian government begins to improve the infrastructure of the country by beginning the process of repaving the roads of the country and improving or expanding the rail lines to allow greater trade and travel between Europe, particularly the border states of the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France. The Belgian army begins the process of re-organization and reformation to keep up with the modern times. While this, the Belgian navy begins to develop a new class of warships that allow for a swift raid on an enemy convoy or blockade before returning to the port city. The Belgian Air Force begins to develop a new type of aircraft (cross out if implausible). While this, the Belgian government reluctantly agrees to join the Zurich Zone.
 * Portugal: We begin to update our navy, constructing four destroyers and two torpedo boats. We buy 200 armored cars that were built during World War I. The government begins to set up a defensive perimeter with Spain, stringing barbwire and setting up pillboxes. We buy 200 Vickers machine guns. We begin to expand our economy by constructing equipment to process raw materials from our colonial empire.
 * Portuguese Colonial Africa: We ship a cache, cotton, tea, diamonds, iron, and peanuts.
 * Goa: We expand the port in the colony and build a torpedo boat.
 * Macau: The governor of Macau begins constructing defensive walls around the city and constructs a patrol boat.
 * East Timor: We build a patrol boat. We export sandalwood to Portugal.
 * Mexico: A Mexican presidential candidate, Plutarco Elias Calles, is supported by the previous president, Alvaro Obregon. Due to this support, and Obregon's popularity of the time with the labor and peasants unions, Plutarco Calles is elected with a 62% majority. He is of the National Revolutionary Party (PNR), the dominant party of Mexico since the Mexican Revolution. Being an extreme nationalist, he quickly rejects the Bucareli Agreements made earlier in the year by the previous president. By rejecting these, he has placed all European and American oil industries under Mexican authority. However, this is a controversial decision and subsequently goes through the Mexican Supreme Court. It is decided that only companies with pumps active after the new Mexican constitution of 1917 can be acquired by the Mexican government under the re-stated law of Spanish origin which makes everything under the soil property of the state. This results in seizure of less oil company properties than expected, but nonetheless, helps in gaining Mexico its own oil rights and a place in the international oil industry. Several silver mines also begin to open.
 * Mexican Diplomacy (needs mod response): The Mexican President, Plutarco Elias Calles, requests to open a Mexican embassy in Guatemala and begin more formal relations with Guatemalan president Jose Maria Orellana.
 * Guatemalan Dip: We will accept this (MOD)
 * America: Business as usual continues in America. Movements like isolation and prohibition continue to rise in popularity. President Warren G. Harding makes plans to visit the territories of Alaska and Hawaii to see how the people are doing there. Diplomatic and economic overtures and investments are made to several nations in the Caribbean. The garrison at Panama is increased. More tanks are produced as well as machine guns and aircraft. Economic investment also continues in the Philippines, Hawaii and Alaska. America demands that Mexico respect the property rights of foreign oil companies or face harsh punishment. Police restore order in the area around Rosewood, and state that they plan to repopulate the area once tensions have been reduced.
 * Mexican Diplomacy: President Calles offers to suspend the re-instatement of Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution in order to negotiate with the United States, to avoid any rash or disastrous actions for both nations.
 * Spain: We send troops to the border of Portugal to keep a close eye on them. We begin to upgrade our navy by contructing 10 battleships, 10 aircraft carries, and 30 u-boats. Tanks are being mad in factories. The king of Spain makes new jobs by sending people to its colonies to modernize them and build them up.
 * Spanish Morocco: We send troops to the border for protection.
 * Equatorial Guinea: With the help from the people of Africa, trading goes well with them.
 * Spanish West Sahara: We are building up the ports to increase exports and imports.
