The Great Peace (Map Game)

The year is 1920. It’s been one year since the Treaty of Versailles was signed, ending the Great War. Despite the war being called "The war to end all wars", seems like the ending of this war has only brought on more conflict. New countries, both with and without international recognition, have been carved out of the former German, Austrian and Ottoman Empires. The Russian Empire has collapsed, and now two groups fight to replace it: the Whites and the Bolsheviks. Germany and Italy are in total economic shambles, while France and Britain fight to keep their status as the world’s leading powers. The United States sees vast economic growth, while the Japanese Empire sees its economy take a sharp downturn, and now begins looking west for resources as China breaks down into total chaos with warlords taking de facto control of a majority of China, leaving the government to control a small territory down south.

As the world keeps spinning, many wonder what will become of this supposed Great Peace.

''' The Federation of India (including OTL Pakistan and Bengladesh), upon ratifying their constitution, votes orient their nation toward a federal republic. This decision by the government is supported by general referendum, with added provisions in the constitution for the protection of minority religions in the nation (or as best they can). As India is a Republic and not a constitutional monarchy, they decline joining the commonwealth of nations due to the clause of acknowledging George VI as head of the state. '''

'''United Nations, seeing as a majority voted for denouncing the genocide of Kurds, releases a statement denouncing the discrimination against Kurds. The general assembly yet again holds another meeting, this time discussing the possibility of sanctions against Arabia.'''

 * Persia: The Shah orders the construction of ten new settlements for the Kurds. He also offers to negotiate for better conditions for them. Meanwhile, the army is demobilizing and the air force as well. A massive road investment program is announced all over Persia. The Shah visits Azerbaijan and speaks to the governor there. Meanwhile, the RPN Azerbaijan makes its first international trip arriving in Syria.
 * UAR Dip: Seeing the envoy sent to Persia, the question is asked "Is the war still on?"
 * Persian Diplomacy: For the last time - there is no war.
 * Russia strongly advocates for an independent Kurdish state, citing the insistence of these Muslim states in the Oslo negotiations on forming new nations for the Muslim peoples of the former USSR.
 * The United Arab Republics: Infrastructure and economy continue being expanded. We begin to see a rise in tourism as westerners begin to study the "old word of the Egyptian people" AKA the Pyramids of Giza (and things of that sort). This is expanded as more and more people come from across the world. The National Arms company continues its production of rifles and begins to ramp up production of radios, equipment and motorized vehicles,THE ASSAD-47 IS ACCEPTED BY THE ARMY AND IS WORKED ON TO BECOME THE NEW NATIONAL ARM (THE AS-47). The following day the Revolutionary Command Council  is formed with Muhammad Naguib as Chairman and Gamal Abdel Nasser as Vice Chairman. The United Arab Armed Forces begins to move pass the Suez and begins to dig into the Syrian-United Arab border (mostly the Sinai) (100,000 men and 200 tanks). Yemeni forces begins to dig into the mountain region gaining the name the mountains of peace. The United Arab Air force is amassed and begins to work on intercepting Syrian/Persian planes. The Navy is mostly used to defend the UAR coastline. 100,000 more men are called to defend the city of "the 10th of Ramadan City". Due to the nature of the conflict Kurdish refugees within the UAR or the UAR border are used to recruit more fighters (MOD RESPONSE FOR HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS GOES). A smaller army of 20,000 is called in Libya and begins to dig in the Libyan region. Nasser is picked to lead the Egyptian region of the army. We accept any support from any country. (aid/volunteers). Following the revolution, we establish the radio station "Voice of Arabs".
 * The recruitment of Kurds goes successfully, as many like to take the chance to fight their oppressors. -mod
 * Seeing as the AS-47 was developed in 1949, and the AK-47 in 1947, perhaps the AS-49 is in order. - A Concerned Player
 * Brazil Dip: Brazil offers to send weapons and officers of the special forces for training purpose in exchange for the freedom of socialist parties and an anti-imperialist alliance
 * Italian Provisional Government: With the American occupation of Italy almost over Giovanni Messe moves the headquarters of the Provisional Government to Rome as the city will serve as the capital of the Provisional Government and soon the future legitimate government that will be established following a referendum that will take place in 1951 which will decide if Italy shall become a Democratic State or a Monarchist State. A second referendum is also planned for 1951 for the decision of keeping the current pope or replacing him. Elections are placed for 1952 as Giovanni Messe calls upon the citizens of Italy to join the Italian Co-Belligerent Army (850,000 men) (The Moderators will determine how much people will join the Army) as the Italian Provisional Government joins the GTO. Messe also requests that the Island of Sicily must remain under American occupation until 1955 as he states that he will give permission to establish an American Military Base there (even after the Occupation of Sicily) in order to have an American Garrison ready to support the Government against the Fascists in a possible Civil War. The Italian Provisional Government also sends a diplomat to the German Reich to negotiate Germany's withdrawal from the Italian Fascist Government in Mantua (American and German Response needed)
 * Republic of China: Elections occur in all provinces of China, except the regions of Sinkiang, Tibet, and Mongolia which are being pacified (mod response on the success of the invasions needed), this year in June for the National Assembly, the unicameral legislature. A National Elections Committee is formed within the government in order to manage the elections. Following the model of the 1913 legislature election, China's most competitive election to date, the Assembly will consist of 870 seats, with elections occurring every five years (the next scheduled for 1955). A Premier will be selected by a vote of the ruling party that has the majority. All 870 National Assembly seats are up for election and on the ballot are the Nationalist Party (right wing), Progressive Democratic Party (left wing), New Power Party (center right), and People First Party (far left). Wang Jingwei stated that he will remain as the head of the caretaker government into the first half of 1950 until the election occurs. The concept of election campaigns are taken from the United States and agitation by all parties occurs using the Chinese people's increased access to written media and information throughout the spring. On election day, the Nationalists gained a clear majority with 492 seats. This was followed by the Progressive Democrats with 304 seats, the New Power Party with 53 and the People First Party with 21. Wang Jingwei then stepped down as Premier and instead took an advisory role in the Central Executive Committee of the Nationalist Party, while Chiang Kai-shek likewise resigned most of his offices, including the Chairman of the Military Affairs Commission. Wang and other leaders urged Chiang to minimize his role in politics for the sake of Chinese democracy, although remain active on the side, giving up the spotlight. Chiang agreed reluctantly, taking on a symbolic advisory post on the Military Affairs Commission. The main candidate approved by Wang for a leadership role in the party is Sun Fo, the son of the legendary leader Sun Yat-sen, who is confirmed by the newly convened National Assembly as Wang's replacement as Premier. Sun Fo organized the election campaign, which stressed the Nationalists' credentials in the war against Japan and leading the country forward throughout the late 1920s and 1930s, as well as the recent land reform. This was enough for the Nationalists to gain a majority, in addition to their great control over the press. The Progressive Democrats criticized their opponents for corruption and the destruction of the Japanese war, and that a change in leadership was needed. Under the leadership of Li Shengwu and Jiang Kanghu, the Progressive Democrats lead the opposition. A new cabinet is formed by Premier Sun Fo. The Chinese media hails the first real, successful election in China since the 1910s. The new government largely continues the previous Nationalist administration's policies of rebuilding adopted by Wang Jingwei. Vital infrastructure connecting the cities – including railways, roads, canals, and others – is being repaired and expanded by the national labor corps. Demobilized soldiers are given jobs and training in skilled trades in the labor corps as well as food and shelter in exchange for their work. Chinese banks are strongly encouraged by the government to make generous loans for the reconstruction efforts. Municipal governments are left to direct the efforts on the local level of rebuilding cities, while provincial governments oversee the effort (provincial assembly and gubernatorial elections are scheduled for 1952), with the national government providing the funding. Foreign companies are encouraged to invest and resume business activities in China. Industries are again growing as the reconstruction effort continues. Factories that remain in western China since the war are being relied on at the moment for much of the industrial production as the war-torn eastern provinces are rebuilt. Chinese cinema and literature continue to see a boom with more people having access to such media.
 * Invading places needs an algo. -Mod
 * Russia is furious at the invasion of Mongolia and Sinkiang, reminding them that we did not give up our interests in the region in the Treaty of Oslo . We call on China to back down, or we will be forced to intervene.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: China reminds Russia that it was ordered to withdraw from China and its eastern puppets in the Treaty of Oslo, giving up its influence there, and that China will restore its sovereign territory that had been illegally occupied by the Soviet Bolshevik regime.
 * (I misread that section of the treaty. -Vat) Russia still is quite mad that China is infringing on what should be sovereign nations, and especially mad at their massive show of force near our borders.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: The government of the Chinese Republic assures Russia that it has no aggressive intent against Russia as it is just restoring order to Sinkiang, Mongolia and Tibet which were Chinese until 1911, and that with the Soviet regime gone, China would prefer to normalize relations with the new government of Russia for the sake of peace.
 * Russia accepts normalizing relations, but only will approve of your actions in Mongolia and Sinkiang if "restoring order" means ridding of communists and restoring independent nations, not conquering them.
 * Trucial States: The Trucial Council puts in place the Decree of Arabs, in which the Protectorate of Qatar and the Trucial States will Unify into the Dominion of Islamic Arab States. (MOD NOTICE: ON THE NEXT MAP THE DOMINION OF ISLAMIC ARAB STATES HAS TO BE LIGHT PINK BECAUSE OF ITS NEW DOMINION STATUS. Thanks)
 * UAR Dip: We send an envoy to the I.A.S or D.I.A.S (I don't know how you want it to be spelled). We would like to open a positive relationship with the new Arab state. 
 * Islamic Arab States Dip: The D.I.A.S accepts the friendly relations proposed by the envoy.
 * Kingdom of Arabia: The nation falls into a tumultuous crisis, easily the greatest internal crisis to the nation since the War of Independence. With many people sympathetic to the cause of Nasser and the Pan-Arab philosophy in Egypt, hundreds of protests erupt across the nation in various urban centers, many people of the younger generation begin adopting a nationalist philosophy. Many of the recent scandals within both the military and the parliament has sewn general distrust between the people and the government. The military intervention against Nasser fails to establish any invasion in the nation before peace was ratified, and this volunteer army was greatly underpaid by the Syrian Parliament. As the international community is cracking down on Arabia for the treatment of the Kurdish people, the Syrian parliament takes drastic actions toward centralization of the national economy, which further strains their popular support. King Abdullah's sheer charisma attempts to dissuade people from taking any violent action against the government.
 * Russia strongly advocates for an independent Kurdish state, citing the insistence of these Muslim states in the Oslo negotiations on forming new nations for the Muslim peoples of the former USSR.
 * OOC: Due to the reduced population and diaspora of the Kurds that have been worked on over the last few decades, in my humble opinion, a Kurdish state would not be viably plausible. -Nate
 * UAR: While Nasser doesn't support the killing of Arabs in the Kurdish Conflict he also condemns the illegal actions done by the Arabian Kingdom to Kurd leading up to the revolt saying in a speech "How can we Arabs and Muslims try to be happy with our nations and states when some of our states will harm Muslims and people based on their skin. This isn't how Arabs, Muslims - let alone anyone - should interact with people." We call for negotiations between Kurdish rebels and the Arabian Kingdom.
 * Arab Dip: We negotiate with Egypt to stop the Kurdish violence.


 * The Hellenic State:  'Shipbuilding grows increasingly competitive in Greece, while shipping remains a strong source of income and investment. The Veterans Bill allows for large scale education in Greece. Colleges struggle to enroll the massive wave of veterans, but with effort they manage. Taxes are reduced and government spending is directed toward improving the economic competitiveness of Greece through infrastructure and education. Greek olive oil production increases by 15%, and exports explode. Other Greek agricultural products also increase, and the EGE is deemed very effective. Meanwhile, the displaced Greeks are given land, housing and money to settle in Northern Epirus. The new cruiser-class, the Lemnos, continues construction with completion dates in 1951. The Ajax and Krete are mothballed for use in naval support efforts. This is done to save money and because Greek naval experience has shown that naval bombers can defeat a numerically and conventionally superior fleet. Additionally, Greek fast attack craft have also proven themselves more than capable. With the ability to transport special operations units and to destroy larger vessels through surprise and swarm tactics. For this reason, Greek naval officers begin exploring the potential for ship-to-ship missiles and rockets which could take the place of torpedoes.  Thus, Greece asks Germany if it could send engineers to study rocket technology in Germany.(Adolf Response Please) Greek arms manufacturer Pyrkal produces the new Pyrkal EAT in great numbers. The Army is fully equipped and the Pyrkal EAT is offered to the United Kingdom and others as an option for a service rifle. (Mods and Players, Come get some guns.)
 * State of Northern Epirus: Independence is granted to the State of Northern Epirus on November 1st, 1950. The Greek population at last count was 678,000. With the new government installed, Greece asks the State of Northern Epirus for basing rights, and if they would like a Greek independence guarantee, as well as a customs agreement. (Mod Response, Please. Note that Northern Epirus is now more than 90% Greek and has a significant percentage that are former Greek military.)
 * Turkey: Turkish society undergoes significant reformation this year, as the first generally democratic and unrigged national election takes place. Surprisingly, Inonu steps down and is succeeded by Celâl Bayar, who becomes the prime minister of Turkey after his Democratic Party wins the majority of seats in Parliament. Bayar and his party aim to increase relations even further with Europe and the United States as well as solidify the democratic process within Turkey. However, Turkey's relations with other nations continue as planned. After the acceptance of Turkmenistan's provisional government for aid, Turkey leaps into action. Military advisors are sent to help train and develop the new Turkmen Armed Forces. Turkish economic officials move to develop and invest in Turkmenistan's newborn oil and gas industries. Political experts help the Turkmen government draft a new constitution and government, based on that of Turkey's itself. The son of a local prominent Turkmen from the Basmachi revolt, Ashi-khan of the Qurban family, is enthroned as the local khan, while true power remains with the parliamentary government. Internationally, Turkey pays off all of Turkmenistan's outstanding debt and begins to integrate it with the rest of the global institutions. A total of 150,000 troops are deployed to Crimea and fortifications increase. Domestically, military development continues. The Sahin, Turkey's first fighter jet, is successfully flown and enters production and national service by the end of the year as the S49 fighter jet. However, the jet is significantly below international standards, and thus the Turkish government also wishes to purchase 100 British Starjet fighter planes. (British Player response, please). With regards to the Kurdish rebels, the Turkish government is willing to engage in negotiations with the rebels, but only if they declare a total ceasefire within Turkish borders, which will be matched by the government (Mod response, please).
 * Georgia: Georgia's development continues to go well, with a growth in infrastructure projects taking place to support local facilities and power plants. A new modern airfield is constructed for the capital of Tbilisi. Meanwhile, the armed forces continue to be formed and trained, with the further training of the air force and army. A small naval force of a few torpedo boats is also formed. Georgian army units are moved to the southeast of the country in order to protect the border against any Armenian militants, which the government fears could use Georgia as either a staging ground or a potential target because of its ethnically Armenian areas.
 * Armenia: The war against the ALR continues, with Turkish troops and Armenian policemen uncovering and eliminating several ALR hideouts within Yerevan. However, bombings still occur in both the capital and other various cities while there are reports of small villages falling to the ALR. The provisional government works with the Turkish military to locate and liberate such villages, but the effort is time-consuming and difficult, although the Turkish military has some counterinsurgency tactics from its battles with the Kurds. However, the situation remains complicated and the conflict continues. At the behest of the Turkish government, the provisional government passes a law prohibiting the mass immigration of Turkish citizens to Armenia.
 * Crimea: Following significant international backlash to Crimea's deportation program, the government opts to put an end to it. Crimea turns its attention toward building firm institutions that can support the new state in matters such as taxation and record keeping. Development of these institutions following Turkish inspirations goes well and enables the government to take an accurate census of the country. The results of the census indicate that the largest ethnic group on the peninsula are Crimean Tatars at nearly 300,000 people, followed soon behind by Russians at a little more than 200,000. The government works to continue the development of the military, with a few tanks obtained from the Turkish armed forces and a gain of two obsolete destroyers from the Turkish navy. Crimea also works to return the area as a prime tourism destination, advertising its pristine riviera and vibrant history and culture as major draws for tourists.
 * The Kurdish Rebels agree to the ceasefire. -Mod
 * Russia: Strongly advocates for Kurdish independence.
 * Stop repeating yourself every turn, we all get it, you want Kurdish independence. -Mod
 * UK Dip: We agree to sell the Turks 100 Starjet fighters.
 * Russia: Russia continues our rebuilding projects. We continue to reconstruct Moscow and Konstantingrad, and continue building Stolitsa, the new capital city. We also continue our university construction projects. Businesses begin to grow, so the Russian Stock Exchange is opened in Moscow for Russian companies to be publicly traded. This allows the investment banking industry to start booming, and large companies rush to be publicly traded. Rodzaevsky begins a large propaganda campaign to "buy Russian", and approved Russian companies are allowed to advertise on public radio and newspapers. As reparations are nearly completely accounted for, taxes are lowered. This further contributes to the boom of Russian companies, as Russian citizens are able to spend more. The government continues to create new business regulations, adding measures preventing predatory practices and setting up a system for credit for taking out loans. As a few business leaders become increasingly rich, a graduated income tax system is implemented, allowing the richest to be taxed at higher rated than the poor. Rodzaevsky's support is very high, both because of his propaganda efforts and because of the actual betterment of the lives of Russian since World War II. The Russian government begins a study of possible infrastructure projects, especially in Central Asia. On the world stage, we advocate for an independent Kurdish state, arguing that the Muslim countries fighting the Kurds were the same countries which advocated for independence for countries like Georgia and Armenia in the Treaty of Oslo. Seeing the advance of China in Sinkiang and Mongolia, we ask that China assure the world that they will not annex those provinces or keep them occupied more than five years, and threaten to go to the United Nations on this issue. Lastly, we continue to advocate for nations to stop producing nuclear weapons, and we advocate for peaceful solutions to conflicts worldwide, both as a result of the destruction of our cities in World War II.
 * UAR Dip: The Council would like to send over 50,000 men to help rebuild the city of Moscow - along with buying surplus warplanes and bombers. We would also like to sell AS-49's to the Russian state


 * Hispania: Hispania continues to prosper under the National Bolivarist Ideology. Pan-Hispanic Propaganda Posters are dropped into both Colombian and Bolivian rural areas, in order to get their farmers to support National Bolivarism’s agricultural policies. We offer to send Colombia officers and equipment in order to train and help build their army. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED). Antonio Vasquez makes a public announcement today, announcing that he is officially banning child marriage, and that even if parents approve of their child getting married before 25, it still won’t be allowed, and all offenders will get life in jail. Along with his announcement on the ban on child marriages, he also says that no Hispanic man or woman will be allowed to marry any non-Hispanic foreigners (not even Brazilians) and declares that the only beautiful woman is a Hispanic one, and the only handsome man is a Hispanic man. The party continues to consolidate control over the nation and the government, slowly taking control of all societal functions, the banking is under party control, the schools are under party control, the people are under party control, Hispania is under party control. The founding of the Hispanic Bolivarian Nationalist Party becomes a national celebration where everyone fiestas. The economy is demobilized after the war, with our resources being concentrated on building a better Hispania, along with expanding our trade with other countries (we limit our trade with the US). Despite all this hostility toward the US and our focus on full Hispanicisation, we do try to westernize, with the school system being based on that of the US, and many “western” clothing is adopted but with a “Spanish Twist”, and schools have special events like Prom, End of the year fiesta, it’s pretty lit. The military continues to arm itself, as we try to make ourselves more self reliant on weapons and equipment, with veterans from WW2 being hired to train new recruits on how to work weapons, and to prepare them for war. Propaganda emphasizes the independence and self-determination of all Hispanians, and saying that Hispanics are God’s chosen people and therefore, the most important people on the planet (again, some people see this as a tad too much, but are too fearful of the repercussions of they speak out against Vasquez’s policies). We continue to send arms and volunteers to the UAR. We ban the dystopian novel “1984”, defining it as “imperialist propaganda”, this could have something to do with American President Long’s reference to the book in his most recent denunciation of the Hispanic Nation, but also probably because it criticizes heavily One-Party rule and could lead to some “unethical” thinking. Antonio Vasquez reaches out to Russia, sending diplomats to establish official relations (RUSSIAN RESPONSE NEEDED!). Memes are pretty cool. We reaffirm our friendship with the Brazilians, vowing to fight alongside them if they were to be attacked. We vote Against sanctions on Arabia, with our reasoning being that they haven’t gotten the chance to stop their devious acts yet.
 * UAR: We thank the Hispanian State for its support and would like to officially open up relationship with that state.
 * Hispanian Dip: Antonio Vasquez agrees to the opening of relations with the UAR, and we open up an embassy in Cairo, and hope that Nasser will do the same.


 * Nippon: Having established peace with the west. and having completed the withdrawal from China (with all of my equipment) Yamamoto begins the long process of restoring Japan's international standing long damaged by their alliance with the soviets, and by the aggressive foreign policy of Ikki Kita, who alongside Shigeru Honjo shall stand trial for endangering the empire. Despite the end of the conflict the veterans and leaders who fought in the Second Sino-Japanese War and in the Pacific War are recognized as the greatest generation by imperial propaganda, and their efforts spur a new generation of cinema and movies. Having secured their economic objectives in China the economy starts to shift toward a more consumer-based economy. technological development continues to stay ahead of the rest of Asia and remain on par with the west.Yamamoto also begins taking steps to reopen Japanese trade to the west.  Troops are sent to Borneo to engage in the Islamic forces and to the rest of Indonesia to reinforce the Nationalist government against the Islamo-fascists. A blockade of Borneo begins while sweeping campaigns in Borneo are carried out and native populations are separated into concentration camps away from insurgency points using the lessons learned from the war in China and the war in Indochina. The British are offered in secret cooperation to eradicate the threat. 
 * United States: US troops withdraw from Colombia and mainland Italy. Governor-General Mark Clark relocates his headquarters from Rome to Palermo. Meanwhile, other US troops from France are withdrawn with a full withdrawal outside of a couple airbases by 1951. Meanwhile, President Long approves Operation: Ivy Mike, the plan is to detonate a hydrogen bomb. Operation: High Jump is launched to the South Pole. In the secret memoir of Admiral Harry Byrd he recalls being attacked by UFO’s with ships taking damage. Around the same time a reporter claims of the secret Philadelphia Experiment, where the ship USS Elkridge was teleported to another location. President Long approves the manufacturing of over 1000 nuclear bombs to increase our usable arsenal from around 350 to 1000 nuclear bombs. To put veterans back to work President Long signs the National Highway Act inspired by the German Autobahn. Meanwhile, in a secret meeting, President Long commissions the group known as Majestic 12, to facilitate the recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft. Meanwhile, President Long convinces Congress to keep a large US military up and running in order to keep order in the Western World and in the America's. We ask France if we can use their uninhabited Polynesian islands for nuclear tests (Mod Response).
 * Kingdom of Afghanistan: King Zahir Shah has sent a message to Nasser: "We want to keep maintaining opened our embassy and having good relations, and I hope that the United Arab Republic will do as well. The old Egyptian government has sustained our peacekeeping operations against Mujahideen and we won't forget that, that's one of the reasons why we still recognise them as rulers of Egypt." The Afghan army won't accept any offensive against Persia: "In case of attack, we will intervene". The Air Force has grown, most of the planes are made from Persian projects. The university is starting to project jets, though not really successfully. The Zahir-1 has been built, it is inspired by UK jets: "Unfortunately the engine has exploded during a test, we will ask for jet sketches to the Persian factories (PERSIAN RESPONSE): "Meanwhile, we ask the German government to send a division of volunteers to form a new SS division (GERMAN RESPONSE). It is one of the nationalists divisions and it has expressed its will to being part of the German Army to join the 'most powerful far-right country in the world'. After Wahhabi attacks the King's cabinet has increased its relations with the nationalist party allowing it to create volunteer divisions in the Army. Those are famous for the resistance against terrorist, even though they've been accused of crimes after the "massacre of Wilhabi" a village that was controlled by the Mujahideen where the opposition is sustaining that someone has seen volunteers shooting children: "many children are victims of the nationalists! And the government is supporting those monsters!" The party has replied: "There is no proof against us, and we will demonstrate it, thanks to our work, we have freed the occupied lands of Farah region and people can exit their homes without worrying".
 * German Reich: The Afghan SS is established.
 * UAR: Nasser sends an envoy to the Afghani King telling him that we shall work on peacekeeping operations in the following years (turns) (because a coup can screw up things). We would also like to sell the AS-49's.
 * German Reich: The “mother” of what is nicknamed Living Light is preserved. Thankfully, its offspring remain and we work on a containment facility in which it is kept secret with two sites - one in New Swabia and the other in a laboratory in East Prussia. The Poseidon-1 begins operation. Robotics continues to be developed while ad campaigns lead to a successful popularization of television due to their values becoming more affordable and popular. Robotics continue to be developed alongside computers. We send an ultimatum to Turkey. If they do not cease their actions of the removal of peoples within Crimea, we will intervene. Funding is given to Russians who stand against the removal while we see the Italian Response and notify them that we will stand by the True Italian Government and will refuse to withdraw. Large bombers like the Fortress A-1 is made for the military. In the meantime, German, Polish, Danish, and Ukrainian businesses open shop in different nations abroad. Ukrainian military development and Polish military development are worked on with the Heavy Tank, Zebra-1 being built. The German military uniform begins to be used with infantrymen for a lightweight feel and strong support for protection. The German UN building begins construction within the Administrative District of Berlin but can be seen as dwarfed in comparison to the monumental size of the Volkshalle base. We begin to sow Fascism into France further to solidify their partnership with the Reich by support and influence of the people. Rapid Transit becomes widespread across the nation with rail lines from Munich to Berlin made and from Munich to Vienna. Subways are secretly made to also be used as fallout shelters by design mainly because of our having the knowledge that nuclear bombs may be used to hurt our people. This start is the most populated areas of Berlin but begin to be seen in Cologne at one stop. The Berlin Business District and Market District see expansive growth and architectural ingenuity. Crime is near zero leading to happy lives abroad with thriving households. Family sizes expand to the point in which having a half-dozen children becomes more common. The Wilhelm Institute is established in the black forest for Rocket Research led by Von Braun with new breakthroughs being made. An H Bomb Prototype called the Kaiser is built and a final model is expected to be completed very soon. The Poseidon-1 is tested in the North Sea and lands in the Arctic Ocean. Development of a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead seems to be closer to being possible. Our nuclear weapons stockpile reaches nearly 300 bombs with separate nuclear facilities being made across our Reichskommissariat. Our first nuclear power plant goes up and running. Germans rather than see nuclear technology as a threat embrace it. Movie theaters become more popular with new summer hits being filmed. Destroyer 1A is developed as a strategic bomber to serve in the air force. The Hannover begins construction as our largest aircraft carrier measuring 1300 ft. and is planned to launch by February 1953. The Ukrainian infantrymen are moved to the Crimean Peninsula. An ultimatum is sent to Turkey. If they refuse to halt actions of population displacement, we will have no choice but to take military action (Player Response)
 * As you can see, the Crimean government ended the deportations at the start of this year. 
 * United Kingdom: Seeing India wishes to be a republic for some reason we offer to allow republics into the Commonwealth anyway because India is such an important part of Britain's history. We agree to negotiate with the Borneo people for their independence within five years by establishing a democratic binary legislative chambers and sharing sovereignty with the British for a trial period of five years. Just in case some unsavoury characters decide to kick off we move the 3rd division which is 10,000 national service troops with integrated armour, artillery, air, anti-tank, motorised, mechanised forces and a squadron of destroyers plus two heavy cruisers and a singular battleship are moved to Miri. Around Miri we begin to construct heavy entrenchments again just in case some unsavoury Chinese immigrant characters kick off. We offer to conduct naval drills with Turkey in the Black Sea around the Crimea with two King George V-class battleships, four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, three submarines and 16 destroyers. We also wish to conduct air drills in coordination and offer to move 150 fights with 100 of them being newer jets. Work continues on plans for a new rifle which is going to be an automatic battle rifle while further research is put into other fields such as new aircraft and armour. Sanctions on Arabia are unneeded because most of what is happening is fascist propaganda is how we vote at the UN. Further work continues with American technical help on the production of nuclear weapons facilities. Harold Macmillan begins the construction of a motorway network in the UK. The school leaving age is raised to 16 with further focus on vocational qualifications although apprenticeships are created for those who wish to work in the mines or on farms. We remove our soldiers from mainland Italy and France.
 * The Turkish and Crimean navies and air forces agree to hold joint drills with their British counterparts.
 * The Federation of India: India accepts Britain's offer for India to join the Commonwealth.
 * People's Republic of Brazil: Victory! After the collapse of the fascist regime in Venezuela, the war officially ends with a Brazilian victory, at least from the perspective of the Brazilians. To celebrate the victory, a statue is planned, to show the glory of the Brazilian military and the communist government. The statues will be placed on the Sugarloaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro facing the sea. The statue will have a height of 70 meters on a 40-meter high foundation. It is a personification of Brazil itself and will depict a young woman holding a torch in her right hand and a shield with the hammer, sickle and rifle symbol of the Communist Party on it in her left hand. A cult of personality starts to evolve slowly around the leader of the Brazilian Workers Party and president of Brazil itself. Brazil also seeks to enter the stage of international diplomacy and joins the UN officially. (SECRET) To counter Argentinian expansion, Brazilian scientists start to experiment with jet engines and plans for aircraft carriers.) The book 1984 is not officially banned, yet literature like this is often translated slightly differently to fit the ideology of the state. Popular music and American clothes become popular among the Brazilian young people, but they have similar to Hispania Brazilian influences in them. The popularity of football exceeds the popularity of basketball for the first time with the Football World Cup in Brazil. Mass media jumps on the event and the new media of television is used to show the population the matches live.
 * Italian Social Republic: The fascist government has reunited in Mantua to discuss the dangerous Italian situation. The head of the cabinet, Italo Balbo, has invited the German generals stationed in Italy to the conference: "We're spectating to an atrocious oppression of Italian people, the Oslo treaty was betrayed by those who made it". News report that a group of Italian militia has been secretly fleeing the border to smuggle weapons. School is indoctrinating the children that the fascist government rules over all of Italy. Farinacci, the head of the Propaganda Department has stated: "every Italian should take part in this, American boots can't touch the holy ground of Rome! We stand with Germany and their noble ideas, capitalism is death." Two new committees are created, the "Comitato d'Azione Volontaria" (Volunteer Committee) and "Comitato Liberazione Nazionale" (National Liberation Committee) which is ideally based in Rome (but officially in Milan) and should be an organization to support Italian fascism in the rest of the country. The cabinet asks the German government if a rearming of the occupied zones can start.
 * Italian Provisional Government: With the Fascists becoming a threat to democracy and freedom in Italy, borders between the Social Republic and the Provisional Government are closed as 300,000 men are sent to enforce this new decision as any person attempting to cross the border will be captured.
 * German Reich Response: 180,000 troops are moved into Italy and construction of a supportive strategic line begins to be developed while we establish the Italian SS with sign ups being posted abroad in a campaign to support our Italian partners in developing an advanced military.
 * Federation of India: India, as the fledgling nation that it is, decides to hold an election to see the new Prime Minister of India would be, and Jawaharlal Nehru soon becomes the apparent winner. India accepts the invitation into the Commonwealth so long as they remain a Republic. Prime Minister Nehru institutes an infrastructure plan to connect the rural villages of India to the main cities. On Gandhi's birthday, Nehru announces a minorities inclusion law, hoping to ease tensions between Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus. India sends an application letter to the UN, hoping to join the organization.
 * DIPLOMACY:
 * India asks Nepal, Bhutan, Ceylon, Thailand, and Burma if they want to join the South-Asian Defense and Economic Pact, or SADEP. (Mod Response needed) It would provide a mutual defense pact and an economic alliance between all member states to promote peace and prosperity in the area. Indochina is not offered the deal because of their brutal war on a Hindu group in the early 1940's.
 * India accepts Britain's offer for India to join the Commonwealth.
 * India sends an application to join the UN. (Mod Response needed)

 * Hispania: We send our navy to establish an Antarctic claim in southwest Antarctica. We claim the penguins to be rightful Hispanic animals. We establish military bases in our Antarctic claims, along with research centers. We ignore the Hispanian’s confusion and instead rewrite the meaning of Hispania to refer to Latin America. We continue to exploit our resources such as valuable minerals and rubber, and sell it overseas, expanding our economy. The “Bolivar Youth” is the youth wing of the HBNP, and is basically the Boy/Girls Scouts of Hispania; in the Bolivar Youth, children learn basic fighting skills in order to defend themselves In case they are attacked or the nation is invaded, boys learn all types survival skills and how to be successful in the business world, while girls are taught how to cook, along with how to raise a child. This, and the combination of daily indoctrination into the party ideals and the National Bolivarist Ideology, prepares the youth for a future in Hispania. The Bolivar Youth is free. Antonio Vasquez begins combining private schools and public schools together, further decreasing the gap between church and state as children pray every morning with their teacher before class starts and students also get an entire class dedicated to Christianity where they sing songs of praise and the teacher preaches stories from the Bible. When students get into middle school, Bible class counts as a grade making students having to study the Bible and memorize scripture in order to get a good grade, but the student must not forget the scripture as later on in the year the teacher calls the class up and they just recite a previously memorized scripture and if they fail to say it right, they get a zero on their report card. The Television industry booms in Hispania, with dramas being the most popular, with comedy tailing behind. Movies also become very popular, though movies in Hispania are heavily controlled by the government, same with television but the government seems to oddly care more about the movies then television (probably because of old policy). So there are a bunch of restrictions on what movies may show. This includes anything seen as “heresy” toward traditional Hispanic beliefs and values (specifically Christian values) and so the National Vasquez Church (the state controlled church that every Hispanian goes to) has total say in what may be shown in theaters. Western clothing continues to be allowed in Hispania and becomes very popular and stylish but as previously said, most of these clothes have a “Spanish Twist” as dubbed by the populace. With Colombia accepting our offer to aid them, we send some Hispanian veterans to teach the Colombian soldiers basic training, along with some skills they picked up during a war. We continue to arm the Sandinista Army in Nicaragua. The South American wars for independence are seen as Independence Day in Hispania, with many people hanging portraits of Simon Bolivar around their houses (I mean, they do that anyway - but way more then usual) and hang patriotic decorations around and outside their house. Hispanic Nationalism continues to increase with many people feeling patriotism for their country. We begin developing jet engines like Brazil, in order to keep a strong and patriotic military to fight the imperialists. A song called “Yes, Sa, Fo” is created, basically it’s a song going “Yes, Sa, Fo” over and over of course with other lyrics. The song is meant to get into the head of people, and is used as a test to see if suspected dissidents are innocent by seeing if they know basic Hispanian culture, know Nationalist Songs, and of course, “Yes, Sa, Fo” is one of them. “Yes, Sa, Fo” is taught in nurseries and kindergarten, and children are expected to perform the whole song for about 30 minutes in front of their parents and local party officials.
 * United States: Ivy Mike is a success with the Bikini Atoll nuclear test, the test was done in coordination between the US military and the organization Monarch. The test was supposedly meant to kill something prowling around the South Pacific. Now with the capability of a thermonuclear hydrogen bomb at our hands our scientists work around the clock at Hanford to make a hydrogen bomb small enough to be dropped from a bomber. Air Force Colonel Edward Hall is put in charge of the Minuteman Program, America's attempt in ballistic missile technology. In politics the race for the 1952 election heats up with George Patton announcing his candidacy for President as a Republican. Meanwhile, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Espionage and are given the death penalty. An R&B song called "Rocket 88" by Jackie Bresnton and the Delta Cats (Ike Turner and his band) and is recorded by Sam Phillips of Sun Records in Memphis Tennessee. In Europe US troops that were supposed to withdraw from France are sent to Italy to reinforce the border. US troops on the Italian-North Italian border number 100,000. Meanwhile, due to historic US expeditions, the United States claims the territory of Mary Byrd Land in Antarctica. Admiral Richard Byrd leads Operation Deep Freeze and establishes Fort Byrd as an official US presence down south. Meanwhile, at the North Pole, American scientists doing research have an encounter of the unknown with something they simply call "The Thing".


 * China: The invasion of Mongolia, Sinkiang, and Tibet continues (waiting on algo). The Chinese government monitors the situation in India with concern due to its proximity and also decides to join the UN, sending a Chinese delegation. Following the 1950 election, the Progressive Democrats complain that the state is too intertwined with the Nationalists which gives them an advantage. The newer parties begin building networks on the local level to try to rival the Nationalists. Premier Sun Fo states the government reforms will continue over the next several years to make it less partisan. A new cabinet is announced, with Weng Wenhao being granted the symbolic post of Chairman of the National Government (President) at its head replacing Lin Sen. Most notably, Zhang Qun steps down as Foreign Minister and is replaced by Gao Zongwu. The Military Affairs Commission is abolished and replaced with a formal Ministry of National Defense, with Marshal Li Zongren becoming the first Minister of National Defense. Preparations continue by the National Elections Committee for hosting provincial assembly and gubernatorial elections next year. The Nationalist administration lays out its plan for making China great again over the next decade now that the Republic's first election in decade has occurred and gave them a mandate. With the land reform complete, agricultural output rebounds and millions of Chinese are given access to food with a special government program to make sure those that lost everything during the Sino-Japanese War get what they need until they can get back on their feet. Infrastructure repairs and expansion of railways, roads, and other critical infrastructure continues. Cities are being rebuilt with efforts directed by municipal and provincial authorities while the central government in Beijing encourages banks to make generous loans. Construction of factories and other industrial facilities increases as well throughout the eastern provinces that were the most damaged, as thousands of Chinese students return from studying abroad and begin applying their skills. A new class of experts has emerged over the past decade with knowledge gained from the various programs taking place since the late 1920s. This helps China's economy rebound. Military production begins to produce China's first aircraft, armored cars and tanks. The officers of the Whampoa Military Academy study the lessons of the Sino-Japanese War.
 * You need to make the algo.-Mod
 * I thought only mods were allowed to make algos? -Knight of Malta
 * Nah, with all the wars going on we wouldn’t have time to make algos. We have an algorithm page that shows you how to do an algo. - Mod
 * OK, I made an algo.
 * Kingdom of Arabia: The economy and military continue to be modernized. Exports grow rapidly, being some of the world's foremost exporters of jewels and cut diamonds, food and agricultural products, and of course, oil. The modernization begins introduction of western technology and media into the Middle East. Soccer and rugby become popular sports around the nation, and a national team is formed in the hopes of entering the world cup. Radio becomes popular among the younger generation. However, nationalist propaganda from air Egypt takes the younger generation by storm. King Abdullah ibn Hussein Al-Hashem, the longest-reigning monarch of Arabia, dies at the age of 65. He was dearly beloved across the nation, particularly for his charismatic support of the people throughout the Second World War. His younger, less well-known brother, Zeid Al-Hashem, is crowned King of all the Arabs in Damascus. King Zeid reaches out to reach a settlement of peace with the Kurds. However, Zeid also inherits a nation on the brink of internal disorder. Two weeks after his coronation, a large string of violence erupts in Aleppo by a number of college students in support of the Nationalists, known as "Black Sunday". In the aftermath of this event, the Ba'athist party is established by members of the Syrian Parliament, led by Zaki Arsuzi and Akram Al-Hurani. This immediately becomes a great rival against the Wahhabi party, and quickly splits the Parliament.
 * UAR Dip: After a long night of debating between UAR and Kurdish leaders over the peace deal, a treaty is accepted.1. deportation of Kurds within Arabia will be halted 2. Conflict among Kurdish rebels and Arabian troops will halt 3. Kurdish rebels will work on uniting under a Kurdish Autonomy Government 4. Kurds will have equal rights with Arabs 5. The Kurdish Autonomy Government will officially be under the Arabian Control but will rule local Kurdish populated areas 6. Kurdish forces will have a local armed police force but not an army 7. Current and Constricting Arab settlements will remain with the promise of no more Arab settlements.
 * The United Arab Republics: Infrastructure and economy continue being expanded. We begin to see a rise in tourism as westerners begin to study the "old word of the Egyptian people" AKA the Pyramids of Giza (and things of that sort). This is expanded as more and more people come from across the world,, To study the past Egyptian and now Libyan/Yemeni previous civilization. We begin to train Ba'athists within Syria by opening camps in the Egyptian region. The National Arms company continues its production of rifles and begins to ramp up production of radios, equipment and motorized vehicles, The AS-49 is worked on to become the new main semi-automatic rifle for the army. The UAAF is training with goals of preparing for any upcoming wars the nation might face following the revolution. We establish the radio station "Voice of Arabs". For its first charter, the RCC (Revolutionary Command Council) begins to work nationalizing smaller Arab companies within the country. Elections are promised to be held in 1953. We open up an embassy in Hispania. Muhammad and Nasser begins to consolidate power Pan-Arabist support within the Egyptian and Yemeni region by using mass media to paint the RCC as heroes of the revolution, or sending in troops into the region to enforce "new laws". The RCC releases a statement stating "The coming waves of freedom within Africa and the Arab World will come, The Waves of decolonization will come and when it does we shall be happy."
 * People's Republic of Brazil: After the Latin Wars, as the period of conflicts between Colombia, Peru, Brazil and the United States is called in Brazil, many former conscripted young men are without work. To solve this problem, massive highways are planned to connect the cities in Brazil. Highways, similar to the German Autobahn with almost no restrictions on maximum speed and similar categorizing (even numbers for the highways heading west to east and uneven numbers for highways in the direction north to south). The Mãe Pátria statue is planned to be finished in March 1956 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the coup d'etat and the following revolution that turned Brazil into the oasis of progress that it is today, but also to remember the fallen men in the Latin Wars. The statue will consist of rustproof polished steel and will be hollow so the head can be used as a viewing platform. Brazil funds massive infrastructure and education projects in Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, to prevent Argentina from spreading their influence any further. The first jet engines are created in Brazil, yet they are not fully developed. Brazil now massively funds the Sandinistas in Nicaragua with guns and 300 military advisors and 2000 veterans, bringing ammunition and vehicles with them (MOD RESPONSE PLEASE). Now, that television is a mass media, sports events are broadcast weekly with hundreds of thousands of viewers and the first telenovelas begin to occur with different themes, for example crime, comedy or historic events are portrayed often with dramatic or icky love stories in them. The Brazilian national football team is greeted with joy by the people for making second place in the World Cup. For making it to the finals, they are honored as "Civilian heroes of the Brazilian People" and the Brazilian government is now even more motivated to make it to the finals in 1954. In domestic sports, Salvador wins the Copa de Basquetbol de Brasil with an overwhelming final score of 130:110 against Belem but rumors of bribed referees become popular. In football, RBK Blumenau continues their success with the most points in the league. We reach out to the United Arab Republic to create diplomatic ties and open up an embassy there, and invite them for a pact of cooperation (UAR RESPONSE, PLEASE!). 
 * UAR: The RCC is willing to join the pact of cooperation to help both countries economy.
 * Italian Social Republic: The Industry department, led by Augusto de Marsanich (CEO of Alfa Romeo) has started the "National Economy Plan", the industries are rebuilt in the Fascist Milan zone and north of the Po river, which means they are nationalized and state-controlled: the more a factory is rebuilt, the more it hires people, the more a factory is powerful, the more it helps others to grow. Not many hopes were given to this plan but it seems to work well, experts say that Italy is starting to face a new phase that they call italian miracle. In fact, a growth wasn't expected at all from the central bank, especially from a country that has lost the war. De Marsanich stated: "The trust in our people was lost by the entire world, but we are demonstrating that we are immortal", in Lombardia factory level is reaching pre-war stats, in primis Pirelli, which has grown more than ever. A larger effort has to be expected in Veneto, which is still slow. The head of the 'Mediation with Germany' Department, Pietro Mannelli, has stated: "We need more lands to unite Italians, we ask Germany for the rest of OZAK (Friuli) and Trent region, and we ask Yugoslavia for the port of Trieste. They can keep the city, but we need its port" (YUGOSLAVIA RESPONSE, PLAYER OR MOD), (GERMANY RESPONSE) The National Liberation Committee has started illegally working in the rest of the country thanks to the German intelligence support and the fascists in Southern Italy, 20 fascist supporters were freed from Regina Coeli prison in Rome and have managed to escape through the Adriatic sea in Venice. One of them is Carlo Scorza, a friend of Farinacci who held resistance against communism in Italy killing the Rosselli Brothers, he will now be the head of the new SS division, the 29th Waffen Italienische, which will be stationed in Mantua. It is the best division in all of Italy. the Italian army counts until now 30,000 volunteers, many of them fought the war against the Americans and the commonwealth: "the numbers will grow, Finmeccanica will be our new industry leader" stationed in the dock of Venice, it has the projects of all the Italian ships of WW2 plus it's working on a new motorization development. Italy asks Germany to improve its industries and army providing engineers to build forts and asks some Luftwaffe divisions to be stationed in Campo Ederle (Veneto). (GERMANY RESPONSE) Later news state that Many Italians have protested against the block of the Provisional government: "We are not all fascists, but this block is making us impossible to meet with our relatives, I'm desperate! I went studying in Vicenza but now I can't go back to my family, it's a nightmare!" Balbo has presented a protest to the American and Italian provisional governments asking to stop this atrocity. (USA RESPONSE), (ITALIAN PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSE)
 * United Kingdom: Production of nuclear weapons is delayed but we expect to have our first successful test next year. Britain has no interest in competing to claim the Antarctic. We propose free trade deals with Oceania, South Africa, Canada and SADEP (Mod and player response). Further work on the motorway system is continued to encourage the purchase of cars. The new Alexander main battle tank is unveiled and begins production. In addition the L1A2 is released which is an improvement upon the previous design and is an automatic rifle which sees beginning of production.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government continues to develop its military, with new ships being put into the navy and the conversion of the air force from a traditional engine to a jet engine force. Military designers are hard at work drafting ideas for new tanks and assault rifles for domestic production. The development of Turkmenistan goes well, with Turkish military advisors and Turkmen troops undergoing war games to develop their capabilities. With the Kurdish militants within Turkey agreeing and largely upholding the ceasefire, Turkish troops temporarily halt their activities for the duration of peace talks. Turkish representatives would like their Kurdish equivalents to privately state their terms (Mod response please). 
 * Georgia: Georgia's internal development continues. New factories are constructed to provide people with jobs and increase the efficiency of the military.
 * Armenia: The ALR continues their attacks, and Armenian policemen and Turkish troops continue their efforts to respond. However, this year is the most peaceful one yet since the ALR's emergence, largely due to inactivity on both sides.
 * Crimea: The development of Crimea's military and fortification of its northern borders continues. Tourism promotion continues as well as investment in manufacturing, fishing, and agriculture. The naval facilities of Aqyar are made available to the Turkish navy for construction.

Persia: The Shah makes his yearly visit to Azerbaijan where he meets with the governor of Azerbaijan. His appearance in Azerbaijan is widely celebrated by all people. The Shah travels to the UK to talk with His Majesty, King George VI. The Persian Air Force buys 20 jets and strategic bombers from the UK but also starts developing the Reza Shah Jet-Class.
 * The Hellenic State: Shipbuilding grows increasingly competitive in Greece, while shipping remains a strong source of income and investment. The Veterans Bill allows for large scale education in Greece. Colleges struggle to enroll the massive wave of veterans, but with effort they manage. Taxes are reduced and government spending is directed toward improving the economic competitiveness of Greece through infrastructure and education. Greek olive oil production increases by 15%, and exports explode. Other Greek agricultural products also increase, and the EGE is deemed very effective. Meanwhile, the displaced Greeks are given land, housing and money to settle in Northern Epirus. The Lemnos-class is completed and the ships enter service. All of the fast attack craft are rebuilt with all new internals and repairs to any hull damage or wear. Greek naval officers begin exploring the potential for ship to ship missiles and rockets which could take the place of torpedoes. Thus, Greece asks Germany if it could send engineers to study rocket technology in Germany. Greek arms manufacturer Pyrkal produces the new Pyrkal EAT in great numbers. The Pyrkal EAT is offered to the United Kingdom and others as an option for a service rifle. (Mods and Players, Come and get some guns)
 * Greek Diplomats to the State of Northern Epirus: We ask Northern Epirus if they would like to join the Hellenic State through a referendum.
 * Großdeutschland: on color television, a news broadcaster and narrators would narrate and update their viewers on one of the greatest events of the year. Der Kaiser was tested in the Arctic Ocean. A spectacle of light and a fiery plume of radioactive material arose from the horizon. Reactions across Germany were spectacular with the majority celebrating our people's hard work and ingenuity. The Jupiter-1 Program begins development of a satellite which could be sent into orbit and further our transmission support. Laser technology sees rapid development. In the meanwhile, with the population boom also being pushed by the government, families move out to Ukraine and Poland seeing those locations as a good way to start their lives. Nuclear energy companies are permitted to establish five more locations in which a power plant would be put in place, one outside Warsaw, Minsk, Danzig, Berlin, and Lviv. The Volkshalle now is near completion with the dome the only section left to build. Jet Powered trains begin development with prototype trials going well. Funding of Fascist Movements in France and Spain are pushed forward and funds for the Italian Initiative of building up infrastructure is also done. The Italian SS and thousands of trucks, rounds of ammunition, guns, and tanks are pushed in. The Heavy Bomber named Der Habsburg is developed with it being produced abroad. Poseidon-2 blueprints are developed as well which could travel 7000 miles away. Kiev sees new architectural features beginning to be constructed. Development of automatic weapons continue as well with advanced technology of the time being spread out abroad. Conscription of troops in the Reichskommissariat are made to ensure that our states have a sustainable military force. We discuss with Petain on a possible successor for his leadership within private. Development of the Horten Ho 230 is put into work for an even greater craft.

 * Sinkiang: The volunteer force from Persia invades from the Wakhan Corridor. Both the volunteer and the main forces capture the western communists. The western front surrenders. The pro-monarchist Sinkiang recognizes Fascist Italy. The two forces move north to battle at Ürümqi. It moves its embassy to Mantua.
 * Fascist Italy Dip: The Italian government gladly accepts to have an embassy installed in Mantua recognising the monarchist faction as the true leader of Sinkiang.
 * Sinkiang was conquered by China in the last turn, the algo has been made. Knight of Malta
 * Yes, I agree, Sinkiang is now Xinjiang Province, China. -Mod
 * Belgian Congo: Leo Pettelion, the obvious dictator by now, declares separation from Belgium. "Belgium has betrayed its own Aryan People, I as a former representantive of them, must protect their legacy in Africa." A revolt by some loyal colonial staff and Askaris is crushed, and they are replaced by loyalists. The Military build up continues. In addition, alot of troops are stationed on the border of British colonies, making the brits probably at least slightly suspicious? Some 5000 Askaris leave the colonial army, and form the salvation front of Congo. Loyalist colonials join the military.

Persia: The Reza Shah Jet-Class is nearly ready for production but needs further testing before being officially entered into service. The old Pahlavi Line is dismantled and rebuilt on the new border with Russia. The Shah visits Dagestan to check on its progress with building the Dagestan-Tehran road.
 * The Second Hellenic Republic: Metaxas commissions a closely guarded scientific mission to Mount Olympus. The scientists then use an intense electromagnetic flux capacitor to reveal a hidden Greek city populated by the Gods. Metaxas then reveals to his high command that he is a son of Hades himself. This is poorly received by Nikolaos Plastiras, a Venizelist and Lieutenant General. He and a group of his colleagues begin plotting to overthrow Metaxas. However, before they can strike, Metaxas takes a personal journey to Mount Olympus where he is slain by an earthquake-induced rock-slide. Nikolaos Plastiras and his allies quickly arrest the leadership of the Hellenic Phalanx and establish a new Provisional National Assembly in order to restore the Hellenic Republic. They also destroy the scientific data discovered about Mount Olympus under Metaxas. Shipbuilding grows increasingly competitive in Greece while shipping remains a strong source of income and investment. The Veterans Bill allows for large scale education in Greece. Colleges struggle to enroll the massive wave of veterans, but with effort they manage. Taxes are reduced and government spending is directed toward improving the economic competitiveness of Greece through infrastructure and education. Greek olive oil production increases by 15%, and exports explode. Other Greek agricultural products also increase, and the EGE is deemed very effective. Meanwhile, the displaced Greeks are given land, housing, and money to settle in Northern Epirus. The Lemnos-class is completed and the ships enter service. Greek naval officers begin exploring the potential for ship-to-ship missiles and rockets which could take the place of torpedoes. Thus, Greece asks Germany if it could send engineers to study rocket technology in Germany. Greek arms manufacturer Pyrkal produces the new Pyrkal EAT in great numbers. The Pyrkal EAT is offered to the United Kingdom and others as an option for a service rifle. (Mods and Players, Come and get some guns)
 * Greek Diplomats to the State of Northern Epirus: We again ask Northern Epirus if they would like to join the Hellenic State through a referendum.
 * The Federation of India: With Nationalist movements from the Sikhs and Muslims, Prime Minister Nehru asks for peace, stability and unity on the Indian Subcontinent. Nehru recommends a semi-autonomous state in OTL Assam, Bangladesh and West Bengal called Bengal as a land for Muslims, Pourvedesh in Kashmir (OTL Kashmir, northern Pakistan, and Punjab), and Pakistan (OTL southern Pakistan), where India controls foreign affairs and protection, but the states would be allowed to form separate laws and government, so long as it is a democracy. The law is barely passed by the Indian legislature, and soon the states are created. Scientists are brought in from SADEP countries to help advance India into the modern age. India calls for an AMDEP meeting discussing the industrialization of the countries in the pact and to help stop the Chinese invasion of Tibet. (SECRET: Another topic on the table - Scientists lent from AMDEP countries to help create nuclear bombs for the pact.) (Mod response needed) India condemns the Chinese invasion of Tibet, a country of which the Dalai Lama, the leader of Buddhism and therefore leader of some 12 million in India, is a close ally of India and never truly belonged to China. India demands a free Tibet, and asks for the Commonwealth and the United States to help stop the atrocities committed by the Chinese soldiers in Tibet. (Player response for the Commonwealth, The United States, and China needed) We stake a claim to Antartica - from 70° to 90° East from the South Pole to the tip of Antartica. To cement the claim, Adithya Iyengar and a crew are sent on a mission to establish Iyengar Station on the Vestfold Hills in Antartica. India renames SADEP to Asian Mutual Defense and Economic Pact, or AMDEP, in the possibility of more non-South-Asian countries joining.
 * SADEP Meeting #1:
 * What to rename SADEP to
 * Kathmandu Pact, named after the city in which the pact was made in.
 * Persia's application to join
 * Accepted
 * Industrialization
 * (Secret) Plans for a Nuclear bomb for the pact
 * DIPLOMACY
 * On the anniversary of the start of the brutal suppression of Hindus in democracy in Indochina, India demands Indochina to pay reparations to the families of those killed in the war and that their education system includes teaching of the brutality of the war and condemns the effects. (Mod response needed)
 * India asks the majority Buddhist and Hindu and culturally-linked to India countries of Bhutan, Ceylon and Nepal if they would like to join India as an autonomous state. (Mod response needed)
 * These States kindly deny India’s proposal, citing their long tradition of being neutral and having been independent for a long time, though Ceylon might have a referendum on this. - Mod
 * Fair enough ...
 * India also asks Persia and Afghanistan if they want to join AMDEP. (Player response for Persia and Mod response for Afghanistan needed.)
 * Persian Diplomacy: What exactly is the AMDEP?
 * India: An economic, military and trade pact, and we might change the name if you, Afghanistan or Russia joins.
 * Persian Diplomacy: Persia wants to join.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: China condemns India's attempts to meddle in its internal affairs and states that the Chinese government has treated Tibet well, and denies any allegations that there were atrocities.
 * Indian Diplomacy: India is fine with the peace, so long as the Dalai Lama is still in charge and Tibet has partial autonomy.
 * Mod: The Sikhs demand a state of their own called “Khalistan” while they and the Muslims campaign for India to make these new states full-fledged federal states in the Federation, and for the name of the country to be named from the “Federation of India” to the “Federation of the Raj”.
 * The Federation of India Prime Minister Nehru agrees to most of the terms and to Khalistan (OTL Kashmir, Punjab and northern Pakistan), Bengal (OTL Assam, Bangladesh, and West Bengal), and Pakistan (OTL southern Pakistan) are created and admitted as a federal state in the Federation, although the name India is a tribute to the Indus River Valley Civilization, so Nehru decides not to rename the country unless the Muslims and Sikhs absolutely still want it. (Mod response needed)
 * The Sikhs and Muslims allow the country to remain “India"
 * Also Bangladesh is Muslim, the Sikhs are located around Kashmir and northern Pakistan. - Mod
 * Okay, I fixed it above. Instead of the Pakistani state, I created Khalistan in OTL Kashmir, Punjab and northern Pakistan, while Pourvedesh was renamed to Bengal in OTL Assam, Bangladesh and West Bengal.
 * Add Pakistan again, they are still Muslim as well. The rest is fine. - Mod
 * OK, I fixed it.


 * United States: Construction starts of the USS Nautilus, America's first nuclear powered submarine. Meanwhile, construction of the USS United States is nearly complete. In March President Long announces he will not seek a fifth term as President and endorses fellow Liberal Henry Wallace to run as President seeing as Vice President George H Earle III refused to run. In the Democratic primaries Wallace and his competitor Adlai Stevenson are neck and neck. However, Wallace and Stevenson are seen as normal Washington politicians as George "Blood'n Guts" Patton soars in popularity in his campaign as a Republican. Wallace wins the Democratic Nomination with Hubert Humphrey as his running mate. Patton easily wins the Republican nomination with Harold Stassen chosen as Patton's running mate. Election day on November 4th easily goes red. The Republicans win coast to coast, all across the North and even dig into the south with Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, and Georgia called for Patton. Richard Nixon, meanwhile, settles to run a gubernatorial candidate in California for the 1953 midterms. The US doesn't ask for sanctions, but it does condemn the Chinese invasions of Tibet (you don't have to remind people y'know). Meanwhile, F-86 Sabre's are scrambled over Washington, DC, due to alleged UFO sightings over the White House. After hearing of some gunfire in the air, Project Blue Book is established following the incident. Work begins on a UN building in New York. Meanwhile, with Britain not enforcing any claims on Antarctica, USN ships and personnel establish Point Defek, named after Polar Expert Rear Admiral George Defek on the Antarctic Peninsula inside the British claim. Meanwhile, to counter Peru, we offer Colombia a chance to join GTO along with more US military assistance and US investment in the country. We offer the same thing to Chile (Mod Responses). The M48 Patton tank is entered into service. Meanwhile, B-47 Stratojets see their first use oversees deployment over to Italy.
 * Chile Agrees, but Colombia is hesitant. -Mod
 * Norway: Though quite late to the race for Antarctica, we also have a claim to stake. We send our navy to claim Queen Maud Land, extending our claim all the way to the 90th Meridian East, all the way to the South Pole (unlike the OTL Norwegian claim on Antarctica until 2015), and outward to all waters around the claim up to the 60th Parallel South. We build defensive forts and research centers in our claim in Antarctica. Trade with Russia through the Baltic Sea commences. The export of seafood, steel and textiles continues. Tourism continues to increase. Infrastructure is improved in major ways, such as the construction of highways, similar to and inspired by the German Autobahn. We apply to join the UN. (Mod Response Needed.)
 * Indian Diplomacy: India asks Norway to help stop the atrocities in the Sino-Tibetan war and support India in ultimata and sanctions against the Chinese. (See India Above) also, we ask Norway to keep away from the 70th parallel east to the 90th parallel east in Antarctica as India has already claimed the 70th through the 90th parallel east. Norway can keep Queen Maud Land.
 * Norwegian Dip: We apologize for the overlapping claim and withdraw from the Indian claim of Antarctic land. (Well, owning up to the 70th Parallel East is a step up from OTL.) We stay out of the Sino-Tibetan War, due to our neutrality.


 * Hispania: We continue to prosper, as massive mining operations take place with us trading resources, causing a massive boom in the economy. We propose a meeting between the Brazilian leader and our leader, Antonio Vasquez, that will include both leaders visiting each other’s capitals and meeting each other there (YCASTO RESPONSE NEEDED!!). We continue to back our National Bolivarist brothers in Colombia, hoping to influence that country. We offer Colombia to join the Southern Strategic Alliance. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED). The expansionist idea of “Gran Hispania” becomes an everyday struggle for the average Hispanic, as the Hispanian government ingrains the idea of a unified Latin America into the minds of Hispanics both in Hispania and in Latin America, we want every Latino and Latina to know the secret struggle that their governments refuse to show. Pan-Hispanic Propaganda is secretly spread throughout Bolivia and Colombia, hoping to expand our support base and influence these countries. We launch both cultural and economic missions to Bolivia and Colombia. Hispanian volunteers return home from Egypt with some of the equipment we sent there as heroes and massive parade is held in honor of them, and are declared “National Heroes and Defenders of Freedom and Self Determination of Minorities and Minor Nations”. The cult of personality of Vasquez and Bolivar is still prevalent in Hispanian society as it’s always been, Hispanic children sing songs that praise Vasquez and his leadership, while children sing marching songs during the Spanish American Wars of Independence that were about Bolivar. National Bolivarism continue to flourish as its economics the basis for the nation economy. Hispania is a semi-Federal State, though under Vasquez it’s really centralized around the government which is entirely controlled and run by him, but the current states of Hispania are: the State of Zela (Ecuador); named after the General Francisco Antonio de Zela and the State of Mateo; named after General Mateo Pumacahua. The Patriotic Armed Forces of Hispania continues to modernize and train its soldiers, the navy gets numerous new, modern ships, while the air force Tests our its prototype jet engine (which is a success). Total respect for Antonio Vazquez is taught to all Hispanians, either young or old, with even the eldest person in the country hanging a portrait of Vasquez in her bedroom and giving Latin salutes. We ccontinue to develop our Antarctic territory with building many more research centers and military bases along with a small hospital. We begin work on a national highway system based on that of the Reichsautobahn in Germany; the transnational highway system is called the “Pan-Hispanic Highway” and many construction companies sign up to help build the Pan-Hispanic Highway, with jobs opening up for millions. To counter America, we offer Colombia even MORE military support and armaments along with economic investment, and reminds the government who supported their cause during WW2 and who that Colombia needs to stick with its Latin Brothers in order not to subcum to blatant US tricks and lies. Hispania announces her bid for the 1954 FIFA World Cup as a chance to show off her develop as a self-reliant nation over the years and the strength of the Hispanic People. We send diplomats to China requesting they trade coal with us, in exchange we will send them rubber (KNIGHTS RESPONSE NEEDED!). We declare our support for North Italy sending weapons, ammo, volunteers, and investment to help prop it up; propaganda depicts the Italian Social Republic as “Fighters of the long lasting struggle for Italian Self-Determination and Independence from foreign nations, the Fascists in Italy are true Italians and shall save Italy. Chairman Luis Prestes of Brazil arrives in Lima today, and is greeted by a large crowed of nationalistic and proud Hispanians, who wave stick flags of Brazil and Hispania’s flag. The chairman gets out of the car upon arriving at a restaurant, the best in Hispania, and is greeted by two Bolivar Youth members, one boy and one girl, and they greet him in Portuguese while giving him some flowers. The chairman proceeds up the steps where he is greeted by the President of the Congress, Daniel Tapia, who welcomes him to Hispania, they then both proceed up the steps and into the restaurant where they sit down and order their food and eat. After eating the chairman and the president leave the restaurant and get into the car where a motorcade begins; the President of Congress during this time gives a tour of the City with the motorcade passing by famous monuments and landmarks while passing by a large crowd of excited people. After the tour, the car arrives at the Palace of Pizarro, the main residence of the Director and where he leads the nation; the President and the Chairman are greeted the Director (the official title of the head of Hispania), who welcomes the chairman to Hispania; the two enter the palace where they sit down and talk, their fancy chairs side-by-side. After they finish their meeting, the chairman departs back to Brazil.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: China agrees to Hispania's proposed coal-rubber trade deal.
 * Fascist Italy Dip: Italian Social Republic is grateful for the Hispanic support, Farinacci, Minister of Propaganda is portraying Hispania as "blood brother" of Italy. The Republic offers Hispania to move its embassy from Rome to Mantua. The Foreign Minister Dino Grandi has stated: "We have to fight an American threat to other nations, and together we're stronger."
 * We move our embassy to Rome. -Hispania
 * Brazil Dip: Brazil gladly accepts the invitation.
 * Republic of China: With the successful conquests in the west, Sinkiang is restored as a province of China (which it had been originally made in 1886) while the Nationalist government reorganizes Tibet and Mongolia as special regions. For Mongolia, the Chinese Republic invokes the Eight Articles enforced by Xu Shuzheng in 1919 that ended Mongolian autonomy, which place it under Chinese sovereignty. Han Chinese are encouraged to settle in the province, refugees displaced by the Sino-Japanese War that have not yet settled down are offered plots of land in Mongolia by the government. Propaganda encourages the Mongols in Outer Mongolia to follow the example of their brethren in Inner Mongolia and accept the Five Races Under One Flag concept, as members of the Chinese nation. Due to the region's small population, over time it is expected they will be a minority compared to the Han Chinese, just as in Inner Mongolia. A High Commissioner is appointed by Beijing to rule over Mongolia. In Tibet, the situation is different. The Nationalist government grants the Dalai Lama and his local tribal authorities extensive autonomy in managing domestic affairs, while requiring Tibet to nominally be under Chinese sovereignty and relinquish all other functions, such as defense and foreign relations, to the Chinese Republic. Although Chinese immigration into the area is allowed, it is not as actively encouraged as into Mongolia. Sinkiang is restored as a province and Sheng Shicai along with other members of his clique are executed for treason (collaboration with the Soviets). Sinkiang is placed under a temporary military government as the Chinese state fully reestablishes control over the region. China denounces India's attempts to meddle in its internal affairs. Provincial elections are held throughout all of the provinces (not including Sinkiang, Mongolia or Tibet). The National Elections Commission is able to effectively manage and carry out the elections after the last couple of years of preparation, and political parties have campaigned in provinces as well, learning lessons from the 1950 parliamentary elections. The Nationalists have gained majorities in the assemblies of 31 provinces, while the Progressive Democrats manage to gain majorities in four. The elections were conducted on time and effectively. The reconstruction and economic development continues, with Sun Fo stating that China is opening itself up for business with European and other foreign companies. The Ministry of Defense studies the lessons of the Sino-Japanese War and the National Army begins testing its first native-made tanks, armored cars, and planes. The Republic of China Air Force is formally established as an independent branch, with a pilot training school established in Chengdu.
 * Hispanian Dip: We fully support China’s claim on Xinjiang, Tibet and Mongolia and tells everyone else to stick their nose out of Chinese affairs.
 * Indian Diplomacy: India is fine with the peace, so long as the Dalai Lama is still in charge and Tibet has partial autonomy. That was the goal of India throughout the demands.
 * Kingdom of Arabia: Technology and economy continue to be improved. Radios continue to be more prevalent and popular across the nation, as are national sports. King Zeid announces Arabia's bid for being in the World Cup of 1954. The navy continues to be improved, with Persia supporting the conversion of a battlecruiser into an aircraft carrier, the first Arab aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. Arabia purchases many planes and tanks from Greece to improve our military. Prototype jet engines taken from the campaigns in the Caucasus are studied and improved, for the hope of creating a jet engine for the Arab military in the future. oil and agricultural products are also exported, especially through the Anatolian pipeline. The popularity of radio continues to bring in Nationalist propaganda into the nation, bolstering the Ba'athist party. The Ba'athists in Parliament continue to be a rival against the Wahhabis, although they continue to hold out much power.
 * Russia: Our domestic rebuilding, infrastructure and education projects continue. Reparations are fully paid. We condemn China for annexing Sinkiang and Mongolia rather than making them independent, and would like China to ensure us that they have no plans to invade us. In the UN we bring up the fact that it is ambiguous as to whether or not we needed to leave Mongolia, as that clause of the Oslo Treaty is unclear, and argue that Mongolia should be an independent nation. We further ask that the UN intervene in the Antarctic colonialization race, arguing to establish the Antarctic as a collaborative continent for science and exploration. We'll sell weapons, ships, tanks, aircraft, etc. to any non-Communist nation not in a civil war - other than China - that wants them.
 * Indian Dip: We invite Russia to the SADEP, an economic, military and trade pact, and consider changing its name if Russia joins.
 * People's Republic of Brazil: We continue to arm the Sandinista rebels due to their promising success. After one year of planning, the first measurements are done for the base of the Mae Patria statue in Rio and about 3000 people gathered to help at the building site. Even if Brazil is late for the race to Antarctica, the government declares its claim on the area of the Marie-Byrd-Land between 103° and 158° West in order for scientific research and the exploitation of suspected resources, a polar station will be build in September, when the weather is less harsh. Brazil declares itself officially non-aligned in the slowly emerging cold war between the US and the fascist governments of Europe, even though the government favors the US as their partner rather than any fascist and we call every nation who is afraid of a big conflict to join the pact of free states! The building of the highways continues with the technique of laying ferroconcrete panels over bases where the highway will follow. The panels are then secured with concrete and metal bars at the sides. This way many kilometers of street can be buid rapidly. Conscription is now lowered that every soldier has only 18 months to serve instead of two years. In sports, the RBK Blumenau has ended his success with three of their best striker players injured, Grêmio Porto Alegre takes their place as the winner of the league. In basketball, a riot between hardcore fans of Red Star Sampa and Pantera Belem breaks out with 12 people beaten so hard that they needed to spend a week in the hospital. These groups refer themselves as "Ultras", which consist mostly of young men and fanatic supporters of their respective team. This event led to the decision by the city of Sao Paulo to increase the police at any sport match. The hispanian Director Antonio Vasquez was greeted greeted by his arrival on the 27th of september by important ministers and members of the Brazilian Workers Party and delegates of the youth wing of it, who gave him flowers and greeted him in Spanish. Later a military parade of over 5000 soldiers of the special forces was presented while group of 1000 students from all over Brazil holding up colored charts which created a picture of red and white which says "Brazil welcomes its friends from the west" in spanish. After the parade, Vasquez and the Brazilian leader Prestes went to the finest restaurant in Rio to eat dinner and start not only more private conversations, but also political ones. The next days, famous sites of Rio are visited and they visit the presidential palace and discuss also the political situation of the world. On the third day after the meeting is officially finished, Vasquez is played the hispanian national anthem by the national orchestra before he takes the train home
 * The United Arab Republics: Infrastructure and economy continue being expanded. We begin to see a rise in tourism as westerners begin to study the "old word of the Egyptian people" AKA the Pyramids of Giza (and things of that sort). This is expanded as more and more people come from across the world to study the past Egyptian and now Libyan/Yemeni previous civilization.  The National Arms company continues its production of rifles and begins to ramp up production of radios, equipment and motorized vehicles, The AS-49 is worked on to become the new main semi-automatic rifle for the army. We begin to work on copying Soviet Tank design from the late World War 2 forming an Egyptian copy of the T-34 and T-50 tank.The UAAF is training with goals of preparing for any upcoming wars the nation might face following the revolution. We establish the radio station "Voice of Arabs". For its first charter, the RCC (Revolutionary Command Council) begins to work nationalizing smaller Arab companies within the country. Muhammad and Nasser begins to consolidate power Pan-Arabist support within the Egyptian and Yemeni region by using mass media to paint the RCC as heroes of the revolution, or sending troops into the region to enforce "new laws". Following the advent of jet engines we begin to test out jet engines within the Libyan desert.We secretly start a nuclear program setting up bases in the Egyptian desert. We send an envoy to the Sudan region asking for a warming up of relationships between the two states by helping Sudanese infrastructure (MOD RESPONSE). The RCC calls for Arabs around the Arab and African world to prepare to get ready for "Wars of National Liberation". We begin to work on supplying African nationalist within the African region mostly by training them in the Libyan desert and hold discussions in Cairo, we train people and groups within the Mau Mau.
 * British Dip: Cease and desist the training of the Mau Mau or there will be consequences.
 * UAR: OK
 * United Kingdom: The first L1A2 are issued to units in Port Said with an additional 2000 soldiers being sent to Port Said along with further construction on the strategic defence lines surrounding the city. The soldiers in Port Said have automatic weapons, armoured personnel carriers, motor transport, armour, artillery, anti- tank equipment The three airbases at Cyprus are updated and maintained a number of squadrons of jet fighters and bombers are moved to Cyprus. We move three destroyers to Port Said and at Cyprus we station an aircraft carrier, two King George V-class battleships, four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, three submarines and 16 destroyers. An additional 5000 soldiers are moved to Cyprus along with landing craft. Production continues on the L1A2 along with the Alexander tank and the de Haviland Venom. Orders for a new aircraft carrier and six new destroyers are placed. To combat issues in Kenya which we intend to give independence once the tribal cult has been suppressed we deploy 10,000 soldiers to the region. The first nuclear weapons are tested successfully this year.
 * Großdeutschland: The Jupiter-1 is being prepped for launch as the world's first artificial satellite. The Poseidon-2 rocket sees tests done. Firearm development sees many breakthroughs which in turn gives the germans the upper hand in development. The Leopard and Puma tanks are developed while the “Freedom Fighter” Heavy Bomber is designed and produced. The Fuhrer finds the film starring Charlie Chaplin as “a fascinating comedy with offensive humor portrayed in the best way possible”. As a reaction to the Polish, a harder grip of policing is put in place to ensure no violence breaks out. The Polish Government and German Government hold a conference making several pledges like expansion of Warsaw, advanced road networks, and improvement of wages. This shuts things down due to the movements lack of substance with the fascist government doing their best to deliver what they can. The UN complex sees significant expansion in Berlin. Two aircraft carriers begin being built under the North-Class with the the North being the biggest of them - slightly smaller than the Hannover with its completion expected next year. Plan Alpha is put in place to modernize and further expand our navy to compete with the Americans. Germany puts their bid for the World Cup.
 * Reichskommissariat Ukraine: Kiev sees new roads with higher road connections and transportation becoming more complex. Naval Dockyards are opened at the shore and with german funding, allow us to build our own fleet starting with two corvettes and three destroyers with 30 U-Boats docked at our waters. Educational facilities are expanded for schooling with agricultural development expanding at a healthy rate.
 * Reichskommissariat Poland: The Polish armed forces are expanded to 380,000. Warsaw continues to be rebuilt and developed while Krakow becomes a heart of business. WWII memorials are made for our fallen Polish troops and those of our allies.
 * Italian Social Republic: The italian miracle is improving the GDP in fascist regions, the country manages the greatest factories such as Finmeccanica and Alfa Romeo. New innovative cars are created, the Giulia Sprint is on its way to be sent on the market. The University Politecnico di milano has been totally reconstructed. A new team wants to collaborate with Germany to study missiles' balistic. Other recruits are called, 15000 new 18ths can now form the XI Mas, stanced in Mestre, near Venice. Republican Aeronautics is reformed. G55 fighters are ordered: "they're not jets, but they'll garrison our cities for now". Finemccanica motorization development goes on

''' Kuwait decides to join the Dominion of Arab States. '''

'''The entire continent of Antarctica briefly “disappears” for about 30 seconds before reappearing again with everything intact. The only way we know for sure it “disappeared” is because of local fishermen and the navies patrolling the Arctic waters as the people in Antarctica don’t remember anything going wrong, with their clocks not even registering the 30 seconds that passed.'''

'''Charlie Chaplin makes a movie called “League of Dictators” and is a satirical political movie. It portrays the dictators of fictional countries plotting against the democracies of the world. The dictators and countries in the movie are supposed to represent real life countries, with Charlie Chaplin’s goal being to ridicule the fascist countries of the world.'''

'''A group of fighter planes called “Flight 19” is lost in the area of the Caribbean called the “Bermuda Triangle”. They seemingly have disappeared, with all attempts to find out what happened to them, disappearing as well. (Yes, a little late I know).'''

''' The United Nations condemns the actions of China in invading its neighbors. (Colgan don't remove this) '''
 * Persia: The Reza Shah jet is officially adopted by the air force and the process of modernizing the air force is underway. The three super heavy battleships and hybrid aircraft carriers are commissioned after having been built for Persia by the UK. This completes the first phase of Plan Abdullah. The Royal Special Forces branch of the army is created.


 * The United Arab Republics: Infrastructure and economy continue being expanded. We begin to see a rise in tourism as westerners begin to study the "old word of the Egyptian people" AKA the Pyramids of Giza (and things of that sort).

Elections are held within the RCC with Gamal Abdel Nasser being elected as Chairman of the RCC. Following this Nasser would like to open relationships with India by opening an embassy. With us joining an economic union with Brazil we would like to conduct trade among the two states. We send an envoy to Malcolm X to visit the nation of the UAR (MOD RESPONSE). 
 * Sudan welcomes support from Egypt. -Mod
 * UAR Dip: Following this, over 10,000 UAR men are sent to the Sudan to work on infrastructure.
 * United States: New APC's and M48 Patton tanks roll off assembly lines to greater supplement US armored infantry and cavalry forces. The USAF and USMC also invest heavily in helicopters, with Sikorsky and Bell becoming fierce competitors. President-Elect Patton takes office starting as one of the most popular presidents right off the bat. His first act in office is to roll out sanctions on both China and Peru, China because of UN matters and Peru for other reasons. "This so-called Hispania, is the worst thing ever to happen to mankind on our god blessed world. This despotic dictatorship has seized its population by the brain and turned them into state zombies to advance the goals of their leader, twisting the ideas of the 'Southern Washington', Simon Bolivar. This is exactly the kind of nation Orwell warned of in his books and we must take steps in our own country, and around the globe, to ensure sons'a bitches like those in Peru don't think it's a good idea to create an authoritarian dictatorship." Following this speech, 10,000 US marines land in Nicaragua to intervene in the civil war and restore order. These men are equipped with the newest M2 Garand which can fire at 900 rpm in full auto. Outside of some weapons still seen in soldiers hands, the SMG and the BAR are almost completely fazed out of the US infantryman's weaponry. Operation Upshot-Knothole takes place in Nevada as a 11in howitzer fires a nuclear shell down range to the view of over a thousand spectators. Meanwhile the Marshall Plan is set to end by next year. Meanwhile the OSS forms Project MKUltra using LSD on test subjects. Meanwhile Operation Castle Alpha is conducted in the South Pacific detonating a three megaton hydrogen bomb on Eniwetok Atoll. Castle Bravo is scheduled for 1954 at a yield of six megatons for detonation on Bikini Atoll.
 * Indochina: With economic help from the Japanese, we are re-building the infrastructure of the country, mainly in the Southern region. Structures like bridges, buildings, opera houses, sport stadiums, etc., from the French colonial times are being repaired and refurbished. To avoid ethnic conflicts, we limited Vietnamese dominance in the country. History textbooks are re-published so that schools are required to teach not just Vietnamese history but also Laotian and Cambodian history as well. Ethnic Vietnamese, Khmers and Lao can freely move and work anywhere in the country. The government explained this will make Indochina "a more perfect union of people". We are also trying to reduce poor households, mostly people in the rural and mountainous areas, but this remains a problem as natural disasters struck those areas a lot. Our main export product is still rice, but we are trying to export different products like coffee and sugarcanes.
 * UAR Dip: We would like to send voluntary workers to Indochina to help with the infrastructure.
 * Indochinese Dip: We accept.
 * Republic of China: The Chinese government is surprised, as its liberation of its former territories is fully within international law, and states that any UN force entering China will be regarded as hostile. The Chinese National Army is put on alert. Premier Sun Fo also condemns any other foreign attempts to meddle in China's internal affairs, stating that they will receive a strong response and that China is not as vulnerable to foreign imperialism as it was in the 19th century. He also points out that the treaty of Oslo never mentioned anything about Mongolia's or Sinkiang's independence. Due to this development, China, while still remaining neutral in the developing Cold War and remaining a democracy, gravitates toward the fascist countries of Europe. The ROC officially recognises Fascist Italy. The Nationalist administration continues its administrative and economic reforms. Many railways, roads, bridges, and canals have been rebuilt, while major cities are being upgraded as newer and modernised infrastructure is being installed. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Qingdao, and others are becoming bustling metropolises as more Chinese move into urban zones and the economy continues to grow. More independent media is established, including newspapers, and more Chinese have access to them. Political parties become more organised on the local level. The NRA stands at one million active troops in peacetime and continues testing tanks and armoured cars, having three mechanised divisions being established with them. The ROCAF begins developing jet engine aircraft. The National Assembly will vote on reintroducing conscription next year in light of the foreign threat.
 *  I deleted the UN turn, so don’t worry about making your territory independent.  - Mod
 * OCC: tad bit biased there colgan I say.
 *  not biased actually 
 * Regardless of bias, the event stands. -Steph
 * Russia: While the treaty didn't specify "independent", it also didn't specify a timeline for our withdrawal, how our withdrawal is dealt with (which was by granting them independence), and it didn't even define which regions fall under this category (for example, the clause may apply to Mongolia not Sinkiang, or vice versa). Even still, Russia asks China to negotiate with us (and other relevant parties) about Sinkiang and Mongolia.
 * Italian Federal Kingdom Following a referendum, 51% of the nation voted to restore the Monarchy as Prime Minister Giovanni Messe announced that Prince Ferdinand Pius, the current pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and grandson of King Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies would become the new King of Italy as Ferdinand III. A second referendum resulted in 47% of the nation voting to keep Leo XIV as the current meaning that Benedict XVI will become the new pope. With these results Italy has begun rebuilding as major cities continue to recover from the war. The Italian economy has also fully recovered with the nation having a better GDP then the Social Republic of Italy. The Italian Co-Belligerent Army know renamed to the Italian Federal Army is increased to 950,000 men as the Italian government refuses to open the borders with the Social Republic. Operation Renaissance begins as Giovanni Messe orders the military along with the police to hunt down any fascists - including those who have ties to the Fascists Northern Italy. Fascism is officially banned as Project Fascistproof begins as the construction of a massive fortified wall begins on the border in Northern Italy as the government sees this as the ultimate solution against the expansion of fascism. Once the wall is complete there will be some areas that will allow people to enter and leave the nation as they will be guarded by the military in order to prevent fascists from entering the nation.


 * Hispania: Hispania continues to prosper. With the US slapping on sanctions, we call on the entirety of South America to embargo US goods, and to compensate for a loss of goods, we will increase trade of these goods with the countries that embargoed the US. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED!). We decide to slap on sanctions of our own, restricting trade of rubber and other valuable minerals to the US. Due to the sanctions on our ally China and on Hispania herself, anti-US Propaganda hits an all-time high, with propaganda calling the US “Satan’s Domain” littered all over the streets of major cities and villages. We spread anti-US propaganda throughout the continent, while troops in Nicaragua hand out Anti-US propaganda posters as well; we ban all US citizens from entering the nation unless they are Hispanics themselves, in which they shall be thoroughly searched and interrogated before being allowed to enter the country. Patriotism arises in the nation as people spill into the streets after hearing of the Fiendish US and their sanctions, the people demand justice! In other news, Antonio Vasquez declares Hispanian News to be “the Least Biased News in the World” with him putting the US as having “the Most Biased News in the World”. We continue to fund the National Bolivarist faction in Colombia. We implement the Bolivar Plan, which essentially will help develop impoverished and underdeveloped Latin American nations. We develop new jet engine models and begin making new plane designs to fit the new engines and technology, and with that, we Arm our nation with fighter jets. Our Pan-Hispanic Highway project continues to expand across the nation in order to further connect the population; we offer Colombia and Bolivia to join the Pan-Hispanic highway project so we can bring our people and nations together. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED!)
 * Nearly all South American leaders laugh at the absurd notion that Peru could match the United States in production capacity. They decline.
 * We tell the nations of South America that Hispanics can match the whites in the north in everything, including production capacity. We also tell them that Peru no longer exists, only Hispania.
 * The President of Argentina has to explain to Peru that it has a population less than 1/10th that of the United States and a GDP per capita that is less than a quarter. 


 * The Second Hellenic Republic: The Provisional National Assembly becomes the Hellenic National Assembly following the first elections in nearly two decades. Nikolaos Plastiras is elected to the Prime Ministership where he and his allies begin undoing some of the damage of dictatorship. The Hellenic Phalanx is re-organized under traditional military elements and become a peacekeeping corps in the Hellenic Army. Meanwhile, relations with the United States are improved. Nikolaos Plastiras asks to purchase rocket technologies from the United States. Shipbuilding grows increasingly competitive in Greece, while shipping remains a strong source of income and investment. The Veterans Bill allows for large scale education in Greece. Government spending is directed toward improving the economic competitiveness of Greece through infrastructure and education. Greek olive oil production increases by 10%, and exports explode. Other Greek agricultural products also increase thanks to commercialization of the EGE. Greek naval officers begin exploring the potential for ship to ship missiles and rockets which could take the place of torpedoes.' Greek arms manufacturer Pyrkal produces the new Pyrkal EAT in great numbers. The Pyrkal EAT is offered to any interested nation as an option for a service rifle. (Mods and Players, Come get some guns)
 * Northern Epirus: With the Greek Majority, the nation votes in a referendum to rejoin the Hellenic Republic.
