Axis vs Allies Resurrection (Map Game)

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

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

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

Rules

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

Mod Rules

 * 1) The number of mods is set and the mods are handpicked for their reputation as sane and plausible map gamers.
 * 2) In the case that a mod leaves, the other mods will pick a replacement.
 * 3) Mods must be plausible in their mod events and must not target any particular nation.
 * 4) Carving large empires is NOT a cause for mod targeting, unless it is implausible.
 * 5) Mods are moderated by the mods.
 * 6) Mods can make up their own fancy titles!

Vassal Rules

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

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

Organization Rules

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

Map Rules

 * Each map must be labelled "AvARv X.Y.png" where X is the year and Y is only used in the half turn.
 * Any file type except .png is not accepted.
 * Only exception to the First rule is the starting map XD.
 * A map will be made in every year that is divisible by five. Exception is the first one because it is so cute and special.

 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After his inauguration, Niceto schedules meeting with major military leaders, to try to improve he Spanish Navy and to defend Spain from foreign threats and civil unrest. Niceto also schedules meeting with major mining corporations, which are planned to take place later in the year. Mining corporations stocks start to decline, due to the weaker leadership before Niceto. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inaugural speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." The Second Spanish Republic would also like to establish relations with The United Kingdom and France, in order to help the suffering Spanish economy by offering a trade agreement. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Liechtenstein: The nation of Liechtenstein asks for a defensive pact with the nations of San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, and Luxembourg, in an effort to ensure our nation's security and prosperity. We offer Princess Maria Theresia von Liechtenstein as a suitable bride to Jean von Bourbon-Parma of Luxembourg. Biebrich Palace and Weilburg Castle are purchased. Our numerous estates and territories across Poland, Silesia, Bohemia, and Austria are expanded. A military force is created to police our nation, consisting of 300 active personnel. We end attempts by the Swiss to create a political union with our nation.
 * Luxembourg agrees because OTL.
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper.
 * Thailand: Thailand begins to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built.
 * Yugoslavia: Milan Strojadinovis is the prime minister while King Peter Karađorđević gets the throne from his dead parents this year. We build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We ask the UK, Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Spain, France and Poland for an alliance. We improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are being built around the nation. Factories start to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We ask the UK if we an borrow money from them. 
 * Iran: Seek European support for the modernization of our infrastructure and launch our oil industry. We offer Germany, England, France and America a trade agreement. Effort to Westernize our population start throughout a nation wide western system of education. The upper class tend to support the reform but the middle class stay attach to the traditional way of life.
 * Both of you can't build that many relations in one turn, and you are building relations with nations that don't like each other.
 * Germany: With the Reich almost secure Hitler and the Nazi party start maneuvering around the Versailles treaty through indirect arms production, increasing industrial output and covertly expanding the informal German armed forces. anti-Communist legislation are passed one after another curtailing the political rights of not just left wing parties but of those opposing the Nazis in general. violent attacks on Jews, Communists, and other political enemies grow as the S.A. now has a free hand to do as they wish throughout Germany. Out of fear for their lives Communist agitators begin plotting in secret the death of Adolf Hitler, and other top members of the Reich, in an attempt to seize power for themselves, they seek support from the USSR in secret. The Rhineland capitalists, and Prussian junkers enjoy an increase in profits following a return of confidence to the German market with the Nazi rise to power though they are skeptical about the path Hitler will take Germany down but wait in quiet to see what will happen. Despite some return of confidence in Germany the inflation rate remains massive and people question if Hitler will be able to bring about the miracle he promised. The German scientific community continues to develop in the areas of physics, chemistry, and natural sciences such as medicine though it suffers a great loss with the slow but steady exodus of Jewish scientists. Development in aeronautic engineering, and experimental physics in particular enjoy major funding from the military and the private sector, a few members of the German scientific community take an interest in Leo's discoveries and try to replicate them with little success at first but they remain confident that they will succeed at some point.
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 33 years. The Prime Minister is Ramsay MacDonald. He is the first Labour Party Prime Minister in British history. The United Kingdom and her colonies are reeling from the Great Depression.The economy is in free-fall with no signs of stopping. The nation, which is still war weary from the Great War, warns against the regime in Germany, stating that it is a sure-fire way that will only lead to the Treaty of Versailles being repealed and German aggression returning. This speech is well-received in some audiences, but others dismiss it. With the rapidly faltering economy, support for the Liberal Party increases. Frontrunner Sir Herbert Samuel leads the Liberal Party as of 1933. He begins working with the colonies to gather support for the Liberal Party. Liberal Party sentiment grows in Scotland. As of the end of this year, Sir Herbert Samuel seems to have garnered much support for his run as Prime Minister in the upcoming General Elections. In the meantime, Ramsay MacDonald's health is faltering, leading to ineffective rule. In October, Newfoundland returns to Crown Colony status after acute economic crisis. Experimental radar technology is tested along the English Channel. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We are going to ask the United Kingdom for a definite alliance, in addition to a trade agreement and ensuring that we have an embassy in London and that there is a British embassy in Ottawa.
 * ​You are a part of the British Empire.
 * Turkish - British Diplomacy: The Republic of Turkey requests the United Kingdom to sell 150,000 rifles to the Turkish Armed Forces. It is considered our utmost need to protect our nation from any threat, and verily; it has come to our notice that the Soviet Union exists as a threat to the interests of the United Kingdom and it would would a total strategic failure for Britain for if the Soviet Union was to ever gain a gateway into the Middle East through Turkey. It is not hidden from us that the United Kingdom will eventually have to depend upon Turkey to act as a deterrent to the Soviet expansion and will eventually have to look our way. We look forward to the reply from the government of Your Majesty.
 * Venezuela: Juan Vicente Gómez Is in office as president. He is distrustful of unions and dose not like oil rebellious workers. President Gómez still grants huge concessions to family and friends. He has himself accumulated immense expanses of grasslands for cattle-raising, which had been his original occupation and was a lifelong passion. The fledgling oil industry's income is allowing President Gómez to expand Venezuela's rudimentary infrastructure and is modernizing trend in the areas where it operating. We try to improve our urban roads and water supplies around Caracas and Cabimas. (For oil stuff see-). An urban literacy campaign is held in Caracas and Cabimas. As a poor and unstable nation we take a generally isolationist line outside of any oil trade, which is a state run project.
 * German Dip: The ambassador to the U.K. promises that Germany only wants peace and equality in Europe (keep in the mind this is the kind of thing the Germans said in otl to keep the Brits and French off their back so it is plausible to say this. )
 * Canada Diplomacy: We ask to exchange embassies, one in Caracas and one in Ottawa.
 * Venezuela Rep: is an impoverished mess that is not doing well at this point in time, so we do not want to spend time and cash building embassy in Canada.
 * Guatemala offers a trade deal to Venezuela.
 * Venezuela: We agree to the trade deal with Guatemala.
 * Brazil: Getulio Vargas knowing that in Order to bring Brazil to a more powerful, influential and Stable society He begins the development of support for a few much needed reforms in the Brazilian government. Along side this he begins an increasingly deep centralization with his own armed forces allowing him to keep much needed control over the force. He looks to the future as well hoping to end the Great Depression in Brazil and in a solid attempt to grow local industry and break the declining agricultural cash crop export he begins a program to settle and develop the Amazon river as the Industrial powerhouse of South America. The process begins with the mass employ and promise of clear land of men who wish to turn much of the rivers surrounding forest into lumber and other products for industry. Vargas also in a bold move against some of his constituency burns some of the coffee farms product in order to drive the price for Coffee up again being the worlds largest exporter This also leads to a purchase in much coffee to avoid the utter bankruptcy of the many coffee plantation owners. Vargas mandates the use of purchase of domestic coal which since WW1 has began a rather sharp upswing in Brazil's economic fortunes. In Rio Grande Do Sul the Nation sees its first real minor economic expansion in years as the opening of a few new factories has proved to be profitable. Unable to really see a true end to the Great Depression Brazil begins to look for some help as the previous leading creditors and powers seem unable to save this Debacle of a global economy. This leads to a more friendly policy to currently resource hungry nations. Brazil decides to contact the Japanese government about establishing a trade deal for Rubber and other key industrial consumables as a major point to help expand their own capabilities. Vargas also seeing the poor state of the Brazilian military orders the development of a modernization program in order to push the Nations military into a new age. This leads to the beginning of development on some new weaponry and the planned modernization of Brazil's two battleships São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The modernization of both is expected to take almost two years and is to aid in the eventual expansion of Brazil into a leading world power. Brazil's 35 million population shows some modest expansion but with the plans to rapidly clear settlement space in the Amazons the intrigue of immigrating to Brazil begins to increase for various Europeans. The Brazilian military begins to look at expanding an air force capability, as well as looking to expand its naval capability as well. The Army itself just looks to improve its standing as a respectable armed force. Getulio Vargas sends envoys to all South American nations to discuss improving the continents overall global standing as well as co-operating to try to rebuild economies. The Brazilian government begins to open up relations with Paraguay and Uruguay using Good relations with Uruguay to make influential inroads and using the sheer size and influence of Brazil to expand Brazil's lacking influence in that particular country. Brazil with the new ability to purchase heavy industry equipment from Japan manages to secure various industrial equipments in aeronautics, Shipbuilding, and other industries shipping large quantities of Rubber to Japan. Vargas with severe opposition increases deficit spending on a large roadway system out of the densely populated coasts in order to now link up much of Brazil via these roadways.
 * Venezuela Diplomacy: We will think about it.
 * Holy See Diplomacy: We are looking into establishing a formal temporal presence in Latin America. Would Brazil be willing to sell territory in either Rio de Janeiro (the Carmelite Complex or near the statue) or Brasilia.
 * Stop asking for things.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We ask to exchange embassies (one in Ottawa and one in Rio de Janeiro)
 * France: With news of German rearmament the French government and military become very wary of the industrial powerhouse it is and begin to pick up military upkeep and bring in more troops to train in caution of the German war machine. Also with great Depression hitting France hard, the colonial upkeep becomes harder to maintain. In response to this the French plan on giving its colonies, mainly Indochina, more sovereign freedoms to cut back on the military and naval forces station within those colonial regions. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. However, we come to discussion to and maintain at least simmering relations with Germany.
 * Holy See Diplomacy: We ask France if we can purchase the former Avignon Papal Enclave.
 * France: We agree to sell the Avignon Enclave.
 * Am I the only one who finds it weird that the Vatican is getting land from these nations? I don't think France would sell Avignon like that.
 * Why is this crossed out, could someone answer me on the talk page.
 * German Dip: The ambassador to the French promises that Germany only wants peace and equality in Europe (keep in the mind this is the kind of thing the Germans said in OTL to keep the Brits and French off their back so it is plausible to say this.)
 * Canada Diplomacy: We ask France for a confirmed alliance. We also would like a trade agreement with France, and an establishment of embassies in Paris and Ottawa, with Consulates in Montreal and Quebec City. We would like to discuss the status of Germany after they have left the Disarmament Conference and League of Nations. We would also like to buy 50 bomber planes.
 * Guatemala Suffers very deeply from the Great Depression, as commodity prices plummet and the country's sole employer, United Fruit Co., halts operations. Hundreds of thousands are left unemployed, especially in the already discontented north of the country, and payment to the army is even cut off temporarily. As anger boils over, rioting begins in various cities, and the Mayans and Ki'iche rise up and seize the regional office of United Fruit, demanding land. Dictator Jorge Ubico prudently leaves the country for Italy. Civil unrest looks set to continue as the year ends, with various groups struggling for control of the country. By the year's end, the ruling party has been overthrown by a coalition of indigenous parties from the North and socialist parties from the urban south, who form the unitary People's Party of Guatemala to rule. The military is disbanded and replaced with supporters of the new party, which declares its intent to conduct land reform. It begins by nationalizing United Fruit's assets, compensating the company at the Depression's much lowered prices. The military starts modernizing.
 * Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree to the trade deal with Guatemala.
 * Canada: We build up our economy as we try to recover from the depression. We grant the women of Quebec full voting rights (the last province to do so). We continue our alliances with the United States, Britain and France, and would like to increase trade with these three countries as well. We will build up our infrastructure as well, especially building roads west to Calgary and south into the United States, especially toward Detroit, New York and Boston. We are beginning to get mad at Germany for leaving the Disarmament Conference, going against the Treaty of Versailles (also for the League of Nations, but that's less concerning). Socialist movements begin to rise.
 * Minor thing, but Canada and the US have very clear set borders that the two rarely cross, plus you would need the US okay to construct anything in the States. ~Eon
 * Vatican City: We look to establish a presence in various Catholic nations around the world hoping to provide people with religious and economic assistance.
 * Switzerland's military falls into the spotlight over the suppression of an anti-fascist demonstration in Geneva. Reform of the military soon becomes an issue in Switzerland. Coupled with the effects of the Great Depression the Free Democratic government is forced into elections and the Social Democrats receive the most votes and seats, forming a coalition government. They set about with a referendum in March 1933, which succeeds in allowing objectors to the war and people not fully fit for military service to take part in a new Swiss Civil Defense Corps. State reforms in the summer of 1933 extend the vote to women after another referendum and even allow for limited participation in the military. The government also proposes to introduce some Keynesian measures in order to help bring the nation out of the depression, including work on large public projects such as roadworks, new buildings and the defensive National Redoubt.
 * Holy See Diplomacy: We ask the Swiss to reinstate and remove the ban the Societas Jesu, and allow them to conduct their practices. In addition, we are looking to establish a formal presence in Switzerland. We are looking to purchase Abbey of Saint Gall and a few surrounding hectare to establish a university and medical facilities in St. Gallen.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: Well, you are free to establish a university or medical facility in St Gallen, but cannot allow an exchange of property to become de facto or de jure Papal territory unless it will serve as an embassy.
 * Holy See Diplomacy: Could the Abbey and surrounding buildings become an extraterritoriality of the Vatican/Holy See. We would still develop a University and Hospital. All three would be open to the public and require no visas to enter.
 * Hungary Diplomacy: We would like to establish an embassy located in Zürich.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to that.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We would like to exchange embassies, allowing a Swiss embassy in Ottawa and a Canadian embassy in Bern.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to that.
 * Greece: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force currently stand at 300,000 men. Feeling rather vulnerable to foreign attacks, the government decides to begin fortifying the long northern border with an elaborate system of trenches and bunkers. Plans begin to be drafted on the construction of more tanks, ships and aircraft. This is really meta.
 * Hungary: Hungary heavily builds up its economy, and the Government under Miklós Horthy starts imposing higher taxes. Hungary starts to become richer, and invests in a military. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 300,000 men. Taxes keep on rising, allowing further investment for tanks, ships and aircraft. The people of Hungary still "support" their dictator, knowing the consequences of speaking against him. Hungary looks to establish embassies in foreign countries, in order to protect its people on vacation. (Military and Economy turn)
 * ​New Zealand Diplomacy: We ask for permission to construct an embassy in Budapest, in exchange for an Hungarian embassy in Wellington.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We ask for an exchange of embassies (one in Budapest and one in Ottawa)
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies.
 * German Diplomacy Berlin agrees to the trade agreement.
 * Belgium Diplomacy: Brussels Government accepts the trade agreement.

 * New Zealand: Prime Minister George Forbes makes several reforms, which doubles the Prime Minister's popularity. However, Harry Holland (Labour Party) continues to get gains in the Parliament. A Statue of first Prime Minister Henry Sewell is erected in Christchurch. Prime Minister George Forbes tries to get New Zealand out of the Great Depression, therefore he creates thousand of new jobs, which strengthens the economy. However, it is still in the Great Depression. We ask the United Kingdom if we could buy two Nelson-class battleships in order to protect New Zealand, in exchange for three New Zealand ships. Military and infrastructure is improved.
 * Japan: Months after the May 15th incident, the military gains more control of the government. Thus militaristic decisions are made and the army sees swift growth. The depression swings a punch at japan and her territories, but the economy begins a slow rebound. The infrastructure of the nation improves and work on modernizing the roads begins.
 * Korea: We improve military and infrastructure.
 * Manchukuo: We improve military and infrastructure.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We ask Japan for an embassy in Edo and a consulate in Nagoya in exchange for an embassy in Ottawa and a Consulate in Toronto.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: We accept this offer and hope we can prosper together.

 * Japanese Diplomacy: We accept.
 * Guatemala: offers Japan a trade deal.
 * Belgium: We accept the Netherlands' trade agreement. The infrastructure improves and exports its materials. The military taking more ground, but some really choices came up for building a navy.

 * Swiss Diplomacy: We would like to inquire with the Italians if they are willing to sell their exclave town of Campione d'Italia.
 * Italy Dip: We accept your generous offer.
 * Italy: We strengthen our economy, and put more people to work in our glorious Italian factories. We ask Germany and Spain for an alliance. We ask Switzerland for an official peace treaty, and agree to recognize the Holy See as an autonomous region of Italia. We ask for an embassy in Switzerland, to better keep an eye over our allies.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: The Swiss agree to an eternal and long lasting peace with their southern neighbors and agree to exchange embassies.
 * British Raj: India begins building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. The Indian Navy begins to modernizing and building, with an battleship is under construction in Chennai. India asks China and France if they would like to establish embassies (one in Beijing, one in Paris and two in Delhi), to keep better an eye over its allies.
 * You need England's okay to do anything foreign or build up like that.
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion
 * Swiss Diplomacy: The Swiss and Liechtensteiner government begin discussion over the possibility of a potential political co-operation that could perhaps lead to some sort of union in the future in order for Switzerland to acquire a strong head of state figure and Liechtenstein to improve on their economic and military links with the Swiss.
 * Liechtenstein Dip [MOD RESPONSE]: Random Number Generator comes up 68 (even = yes, odd =no). We accept your proposal, given that we have a year to prepare at the least.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: Yes. You will have some time to prepare all arrangements for the union. For the moment we would like to see if any ork though can be done in extending the Swiss Redoubt into Liechtenstein in the next years.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, grows worried over the Nazi takeover of Germany. In response to this coup, Denmark offers renewed alliances with Britain and France, and offers trade pacts as well to those two countries. Denmark expands the national military in 1933 by launching a conscription service.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King seeks foreign nations aid in chasing a rumor regarding oil in Arabia. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. Regarding the disputed border with Yemen, we offer to return the Yemeni Coast (Under Saudi Occupation until the war) in exchange for an alliance. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED)
 * Yemeni Dip [MOD RESPONSE]: Random Number Generator comes up 39 (even = yes, odd = no). I'm afraid that we cannot accept your offer.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: Switzerland would be interested in helping the Saudis in any potential exploration of oil.
 * The United States is also interested in pursuing oil. OIL
 * Venezuela: We note this.
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.
 * In the United States, things happen. FDR does lots of New Deal things, such as creating the Civil Works Administration. The United States also seeks to establish formal diplomatic relations with the SOVIET UNION. (This is an OTL thing, BTW.) The Dust Bowl begins to attack the central US. The US also continues to occupy Haiti. The plans for Philippine independence are delayed due to Japanese militarization in the Far East.
 * Brazilian Dip: The Brazilian military requests to purchase 200 M2 Light tanks from the United states to facilitate the development of battle doctrine and its own military use.
 * The United States agrees.
 * Canada: We want to buy 50 battleships and ten submarines. We hope to use this to protect us from the east, which will also help protect the USA.
 * South Africa: The South African government orders a general mobilization of all men ages 18-25 for military training in light of the hostilities and extensive military build-up in Europe. The threat of an invasion by a European power hostile to Great Britain concerns many leaders in the nation, and therefore no chances are to be taken by South Africa. The government also requests the publication of a white paper by the military, to show members of Parliament all of the threats posed to the nation, the weaknesses of the military, and the budget and equipment needed to rectify all of the issues. Elsewhere, attempts to increase the literacy of the black African population begins. Though many Afrikaaners are opposed to the decision, many economists have pushed their support stating a potential increase in economic development within the nation if more of the nation's manpower was fully utilized. So as to pacify members of Parliament, the government mandates that only 150,000 black African men may be taught how to read and write by the government between 1933 and 1940, so as to prevent too many from potentially threatening white-minority rule in South Africa. In the UN mandate of South-West Africa, the construction of a railway from Windhoek to Uppington begins. The government in South-West Africa hopes that the railway will create new jobs as well as encourage immigration into the territory. A monetary incentive is promised to any adult male who agrees to move to South-West Africa for a period of ten years along with their family, and establish roots in the region to increase the population of the mandate territory.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under the leadership of the most honorable Comrade Stalin does its best to enhance the lives of the people and expand the ideas of socialism and Communism. In the nation, industrialization is viewed by the central government as key to enhance the living and capabilities of the people, and as such the central government does what it can to encourage the growth of industry, although such progress is currently slow. One noticeable achievement does take place with the opening of the Stalin White Sea-Baltic Sea canal, named after the honorable comrade himself. Allegations that the canal was built with forced labor are silenced by the NKVD, as are allegations that there is mass starvation in the Ukraine SSR. Comrade Stalin does note the many ethnic groups present in the USSR and begins to consider reformatting the current four soviet republics into more ethnically friendly states that can work together in better communion. In foreign affairs, Comrade Stalin approves of establishing diplomatic ties with the United States as well as tentatively supporting the Communist rebels in the German State.
 * Mongolia: Little happens in Mongolia in terms of industrialization or economic change. The current Communist government follows the example of the Soviet Union in most matters and continues its persecution of Mongolian Buddhists and especially monks.
 * Tuva: Like Mongolia, little currently happens in the Tuvan People's Republic. Persecution of Buddhist monks continues as planned.
 * Argentina Dip: We request to purchase 100 T-26 tanks and licenses to produce our own. 
 * Soviet Diplomacy: This order will take some time to fulfill, but granted.
 * Kingdom of Nepal (नेपाल अधिराज्य): Following the new reign of Juddha Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the Nepali government begins to attempt to modernize, albeit it is considered to be a feat hardly accomplishable without British aid. Moreover, due to the already numerous offspring off Juddha Shamsher, the succession issue continues to grow as the number of dissatisfied Rana dynasty members grows. Attempting to call for British aid, the Nepali government draws upon the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship signed in 1923, asking for help in developing the nation.
 * Argentina: The military pulls a battleship into dry dock for repair. The army looks to purchase tanks from the USSR. The economy begins to improve and there is research into developing rubber tree plantations. Army units move south for training missions and to practice on defenses. 10,000 soldiers and two destroyers are involved. The air force looks to update the aircraft in the fleet.
 * China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jianxi Soviet is launched by the KMT with the objective of eliminating the core province of the Chinese Socialist Republic. With the Communists gone, China could be officially reunified through military force. On the opposite side, the Chinese Red Army defends against the invading National Revolutionary Army's forces. The KMT also launches a smaller campaign against the Fujian People's Government. Meanwhile, in order to improve Chiang Kai-Shek introduces major agricultural and industrial reforms in China, thus improving Chinese infrastructure, thus causing railroads to be constructed and agriculture to improve, most notably the growing of rice, wheat, and cotton. The military is also improved. Meanwhile, the Communists initiate direct land reform for the peasants, ousting the warlords, and help the peasants directly supplying them with much needed weapons, seed, and shelter. Meanwhile, the warlords continue to react against the Communists.
 * CCP: As we have helped our people, we request that the USSR helps us. 
 * Monaco: The nation of Monaco asks for a non aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. Prince Louis_II meets with Captain Regents Carlo Balsimelli and Melchiorre Filippi of San Marino in order to establish lasting relations with the nation of San Marino. A similar trip is planned for Liechtenstein.

A coup upsets the political order in Bulgaria.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more health care benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." The Second Spanish Republic would also like to establish relations with The United Kingdom, United States, and France, in order to help the suffering Spanish economy by investing in the mining companies and by offering a trade agreement. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * French Dip: We agree to assist the Spanish
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk visits Germany for Hitler's funeral and mourns the loss of the German patriot. During the visit, he has a meeting with Oskar von Hindenburg regarding expansion of trade relations. 
 * ​German dip: Oskar receives Kemal with a warm welcome and welcomes the idea of improving trade with Turkey.
 * Venezuela: We continue with the water, literacy and road improvements; and plant a few rubber plantations. We start nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations,  compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used. The state oil and rubber firms are slightly upgraded. Agriculture and ranching expands slightly. The USA's interest in oil is noted. We may have lots more oil than initially thought of, but do not fully trust foreigners.
 * Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree to the earlier Guatemala trade deal and offer one to Brazil.

China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jianxi Soviet continues with much military success by the Nationalists and the Fujian People's Government is crushed. As a result of these two successes and the arrival of German volunteers, Nationalist morale is very high. Chiang Kai-shek uses this time of high morale to improve the economy and infrastructure of China, implementing much needed agricultural reforms and infrastructure in the nation (railroads, factories, schools, and hospitals.) Meanwhile, Chiang Kai-shek launches a campaign to make remove corruption out of the KMT and make it more efficient in governing China. Politically the Nationalists are drifting away from the Soviets and drifting toward the Nazis. The main reason is because of the Soviet invasion of Xinjiang, where the Soviets regarded the Nationalist Ma Generals as Warlords which resulted in the Nationalists being offended and relations between the Nationalists and the Soviets further polarized. The German Volunteer offer also shifts the Nationalists supporting the Germans. The Chinese Communists, however, are happy that the Nationalists were invaded as they regard them as warlords and gives them some fighting strength. The Chinese Communists, however, are outnumbered and out supplied and on the verge of collapse, thus the Chinese Communist '''request supplies and weapons the USSR. '''Meanwhile, the Warlords still fight to maintain control of what they still have. (I apologize for not posting this earlier, a lot of things came up that prevented me from posting this earlier.)
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We offer a trade deal and possibly a military technology exchange treaty. We request to purchase oil from your nation.
 * Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree.
 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We ask Germany for a secret alliance.
 * France: With news of the new German regime the French government opens up peaceful and positive relations with the Germans. France begin to slow down its rearmament due to the newer saner German government. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic offers (Last turn dip, Econ turn, last was a Mil)
 * ​German Dip: Berlin is thankful that France is willing to commit to talks and proposes in early 1935 a conference in the neutral state of Luxembourg to come to terms (RNG if Luxembourg will allow talks to occur in the country please.) 
 * Canada Dip: I ask to buy battleships and submarines from France. How about 25 battleships and ten submarines for a start. Now that you are disarming again, why not make money off of it? Also, if you are disarming any more, you may give it to us for our protection. We are willing to sell our gold and coal for planes, if possible.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built.
 * Canada: Canada begins to build up its military, especially its air force and navy in the East. we also build up our economy, still recovering from the depression, but our economy is headed in the right direction. We focus on improving our oil sector, installing new oil rigs, mainly for sale and use in our planes. So basically, We have oil to sell in exchange for military (such as tanks, aircraft and submarines). We ask to buy submarines, battleships and air planes from France and the USA. We also ask for the UK to give us ships for our own protection. We ask the British Empire to set up a plan to eventually let us become completely independent, as this is much more effective and the current system is somewhat of a burden on our politics, though we hope to maintain relations with the UK. 
 * Greece: The reforms in the military continue with more troops being recruited into the army, navy, and air force. A new training program is adopted to create better soldiers and officers. The number of troops on the northern border with Bulgaria increases due to the coup, in case things get out of control and more unstable. Total personnel count is around 300,000. Meanwhile, the Greek government decides to improve railways in the country for faster transport, and work begins on upgrading the existing railways lines as well as the building of new ones.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to prosper and grow under the grace and strength of Comrade Stalin (Obvious propaganda is obvious). Industry continues to grow at a very slow pace, although the central government has optimistic reports about the economic future of the Soviet Union. On the international front, the Soviet Union watches with considerable distaste as its "Servants of the People" in Xinjiang are losing ground to Chinese warlords and religious fanatics. To counter this trend of events, the Soviet Union sends two Red Army detachments to assist in the creation of an East Turkestan People's Republic. The Red Army is aided in their mission by several groups of Mongol cavalry and, more remarkably, some White Russian forces. The allied forced engage the enemy Chinese warlords and military forces, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The mountainous terrain allows the Chinese to launch considerable attacks and ambushes on Soviet forces, but the Chinese forces cannot match Soviet air power or armor on the open plains. The war eventually ends in a ceasefire before the start of the next year, although the Red Army is disappointed that they were unable to liberate Urumqi before the war's end. They did manage to liberate a substantial amount of territory and now are establishing martial law in the area in prelude to setting up an administrative government. Aid is also sent to help the CCP in their mission to liberate the peoples of China, mainly medicine and small arms.
 * Mongolia: Persecution of Buddhist monks and establishments continue, as well as any previous legacies of oppression of the people. Small detachments of cavalry are sent to aid the Soviets in their liberation of Xinjiang.
 * Tuva: Persecution of religious figures continues, closely following the examples of the Soviet Union and Mongolia. A single cavalry detachment is sent to help the Soviets in their war.
 * German Reich: After months of plotting the remnants of the Communist Party and other far left groups execute their planned coup attempt in the 6th of January launching an attack on Hitler's residence and that of several other high ranking Nazi party members as well as several military garrisons around Berlin in an attempt to seize control of the city. Hitler, Himmler, Goering, and other high ranking Nazi figures die in the attack before the S.A. is able to react. However, the military is able to beat back the Communist agitators arresting most of them by the end of the evening. With Hitler and other high ranking Nazi officials dead the national socialist party is in disarray. Seizing on the opportunity Hindenburg in one of his final acts as President of the Reich enforces the enabling act abolition the position of president and replacing it with the position of Regent-Marschall and placing his son Oskar von Hindenburg in the position of the Reichskanzler, and key members of the German military and counter-revolutionary movement in key positions of power such as Hans von Seeckt, Werner von Fritsch,  Gustav Ritter von Kahr, Karl von Schleicher, and amongst others. With the major opponents of the National Socialist party in key positions of the government the party is left at the mercy of the old guard. The Reichswehr is called in to disband and disarm the S.A. by force if necessary leading to the Tragische Woche (tragic week) where the German army and Freikorps opposed to the S.A. forcefully disband the military arm of the Nazi party and brutally suppress the remnants of the Communist insurgents. The new government now under the Hindenburg family's control declares an end to the state emergency and quickly shuffle the remnants of the Nazi party into a new grand coalition of right wing, far right wing, and social democrats in the Reichstag which has been left nothing more then a rubber stamp. A memorial is held for the now deceased Hitler. The new government under the dictatorial powers of the Hindenbergs pass one law after another to favor economic recovery through large scale subsidies to industry, and an expansion of the paramilitary Freikorps associated with the Reichswehr which helps decrease the unemployment level greatly as these new paramilitary groups swell in numbers taking many of the jobless youth off the streets . Large scale propaganda against the Communist threat starts circulating throughout Germany, and promising an end to the times of trouble in Germany. Plans to fully rebuild the military-industrial complex in secret are laid out by the new regime to revamp the German war machine within ten years. Efforts to strengthen the Reichmark are made to help restore trust and stability in the German market economy and in the German currency. Scientific development continues particularly in physics, chemistry and engineering. Clandestine development of planes, parts for tanks and armored vehicles, and automatic weapons begin as parts are made in different parts of Germany for assembly elsewhere in secret. The new regime makes a public promise to the international community to respect all treaties it has. However, it states that it will no longer allow outside forces determine the internal politics of the Reich. For the first time in over a decade the government officially calls itself the Deutsches Reich marking the formal end of the Weimar Republic. In this spirit under the directive of Oskar von Hindenberg who is now largely controlling the state apparatus as his father's health declines requests that talks begin with the western allies and Poland to renegotiate previous treaties and agreements between the nations and that the west recognize the threat that Communism and eastern forces pose to a deliberately weakened German State. German "volunteers" travel to China to serve as advisors should the Chinese government choose to accept them.
 * Nationalist Chinese Diplomacy: We accept the German Volunteers and we thank them for offering to help us in our time of need.
 * I am calling bullshit. 
 * What is bullshit? All I put in is plausible. the enabling act gave the head of state ludicrous amounts of power. With Hitler out of the picture the Nazi Party lacks the charismatic leader it would take to cement the Nazi's position of power. The Nazis still weren't completely in power and by killing him off another force would have a shot at power, and who else then the army and the old conservative guard, they were in a position of power and had the capacity to do so as well. And the speeches and dismantling the democratic institution is exactly what Hitler did just I'm dismantling it without the Nazi Party in charge, it is all possible if you don't think so give me your reasons and ill rebuttal them. I have the research to back up my plans. With Blood and Iron (talk) 10:53, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * PS: OK, I'm not a mod, but I noticed this. Germany could follow the less extreme DNVP.The River Nile-2 (talk) 12:12, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * It was good to also kill Heinrich Himmler as well.  Heinrich Himmler was a cunning bastard and probably would have found a niche for himself and his beliefs under such a DNVP regime anyway.The River Nile-2 (talk) 12:08, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * The DNVP weren't popular enough and would have been derailed long term. I need a temporary solution until I can develop a more stable system of government. So, a popular military junta is my solution for the time being. With Blood and Iron (talk) 12:27, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Iran: Seeks to strengthen relations with the western power and gain support to speed up the modernization of Iran. England is ask to become the main partner for the modernization effort of Iran but we hire Iraqi secularist to help lead the effort. Effort to Westernize the Iranian increase with some success in the upper class but the popular opinion stay deeply divided on the issue. Education is Westernized and several specialists are sent in Europe to learn how it works there. Women are given more liberty and made equal to the men, making the clergy upset.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. The next elections are in 1937, unless the government breaks earlier. We offer an alliance to the German Reich. 
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * German Dip: In order to avoid causing diplomatic issues in the west, Berlin offers a defence pact in the case that the Netherlands European territory is attacked. 
 * Belgium Dip: We already agreed to your trade.
 * British Raj: India continues building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. The Indian Government grants women in Central Provinces to full voting rights, as women can vote in elections. Hindustani is declared as official language of India due to over 200 million Indians speaks Hindustani as its primary language. India accepts trade request from Dutch East Indies, beginning with selling rice to Dutch East Indies and buys Aluminium from Dutch East Indies.
 * Australia: We begin researching more advanced weaponry for the armed forces. We begin improving relations with New Zealand, and we other trade to any nation that will accept. We propose a trade deal with New Zealand concerning their sheep, and how we may aid them in spreading their trade.
 * New Zealand Diplomacy: We accept, as we cannot supply our 60 million sheep (real number in OTL) at once.
 * New Zealand: Even though George Forbes' reforms and job creating, he still is unpopular, as Bill Parry's and Adam Hamilton's popularity grows. However, since popular Labour Party leader Harry Holland died in 1933, Bill Parry announces that he will candidate for Prime Minister in the 1938 General Election. We continue to trade with Australia and other countries. George Forbes continues to lose popularity, being blamed that New Zealand cannot surive the Great Depression because of him, due to this, many United Party members quit, and many join the newly-founded Moderate Party, and former Reform Party member Taurekareka Henare becomes the leader of the Moderate Party, the amount of members leaving the United Party makes the political party to lose much popularity, and the political party is thrown into chaos, with several political parties forming from the United Party, ex. New United Party, National Defense Party, Liberal Unity Party. We try to be as neutral as possible in world politics. However, we state that we support the Kuomintang/Nationalists in the Chinese Civil War. We ask the Republic of China and the British Raj if we can buy some warships and aluminium.
 * Japan: The economy and infrastructure are the main goals of this years buildup. The buying of West Paupa pleases the military and the general public, but many of those against militarization condemn it. A few of these people suddenly resign the next day. Trade with europe grows, and bigger trade ships are built.  A 18 year old in Manchukuo self-immolates. Westernization of the military continues, and in Manchukuo work on building a mass numbers of bombers begins.
 * Manchukuo: Economy and Infrastructure improve.
 * Korea: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * West Paupa: Economy and Infrastructure improve.
 * Belgium: The industry is the key for Belgium, as its farming industries. The military and economy grows up. However, the President of Belgium, thinks the diplomatic issues might not happen, as he admits about the diplomacy. The standing population was higher than one million. As for the opportunities what will be the invasion coming.
 * Argentina: The first shipment of 20 T-26 tanks arrive as do the plans. The government begins to use those designs to make their own tanks. Our economy begins to recover as the government passes similar bills to the American New Deal. The US ambassador requests that Argentina ban the Communist Party, but the government refuses, although secretly they do send moles in.
 * Daes, no way you can't reverse engineer that fast, not a mod but definitely someone who knows what's being talked about. You wouldn't even be able to build prototypes much less reverse engineer stuff. -Feud
 * As a mod, Feud is right. At least wait another turn or two first. ~ Upvote
 * Hungary: Hungary heavily builds up its economy, and the Government begins slightly lowering taxes to attract immigrants. Hungary continues to invest in their military, because of its geographical location. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 500,000 men. The economy and infrastructure buildup are the main goals for the upcoming year. (Military and Economy turn)
 * Switzerland's new-deal inspired polices begin to slowly take effect. Employment levels do increase, especially as people being to be employed in light arms production, the construction of larger public works and construction of new modern buildings in the cities, inspired by Bauhaus and art-deco in Germany and France. The government agrees to expanding the Swiss Redoubt both inside and along the borders, firstly to provide further employment and secondly for defense of the nations. Czech-style hedgehogs are built locally and integrated into the defenses. That year the Swiss Banking Act was passed, which allowed for anonymous numbered bank accounts The Swiss military is also interested in acquiring a number of Bofors 40mm guns from Sweden and are willing to engage in trade with a fellow neutral nation
 * ​Swedish Diplomacy: We agree to sell Bofors at a substantial sum of money..
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King  accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time.'  The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defend the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. 'The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft.
 * Brazil: Getulio Vargas knowing that in Order to bring Brazil to a more powerful, influential and Stable society He begins the development of support for a few much needed reforms in the Brazilian government. Along side this he begins an increasingly deep centralization with his own armed forces allowing him to keep much needed control over the force. He looks to the future as well hoping to end the Great Depression in Brazil and in a solid attempt to grow local industry and break the declining agricultural cash crop export he begins a program to settle and develop the Amazon river as the Industrial powerhouse of South America. The process begins with the mass employ and promise of clear land of men who wish to turn much of the rivers surrounding forest into lumber and other products for industry. Vargas also in a bold move against some of his constituency burns some of the coffee farms product in order to drive the price for Coffee up again being the worlds largest exporter This also leads to a purchase in much coffee to avoid the utter bankruptcy of the many coffee plantation owners. Vargas mandates the use of purchase of domestic coal which since WW1 has began a rather sharp upswing in Brazil's economic fortunes. In Rio Grande Do Sul the Nation sees its first real minor economic expansion in years as the opening of a few new factories has proved to be profitable. Unable to really see a true end to the Great Depression Brazil begins to look for some help as the previous leading creditors and powers seem unable to save this Debacle of a global economy. This leads to a more friendly policy to currently resource hungry nations. Brazil decides to contact the Japanese government about establishing a trade deal for Rubber and other key industrial consumables as a major point to help expand their own capabilities. Vargas also seeing the poor state of the Brazilian military orders the development of a modernization program in order to push the Nations military into a new age. This leads to the beginning of development on some new weaponry and the planned modernization of Brazil's two battleships São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The modernization of both is expected to take almost two years and is to aid in the eventual expansion of Brazil into a leading world power. Brazils population reaching 36.2 million. The Nation itself makes serious inroads in its Roadway system up the coasts. The Brazilian government recieves and begins to train with the 200 M2 tanks that were purchased and begins to develop its own combat doctrine based around these tanks. With this though the vehicles inadequacies begin to be realized rather quickly as the Brazilian army begins considering taking apart some in order to begin the facilitation of its own domestic vehicles being produced.
 * Kingdom of Nepal (नेपाल अधिराज्य): Following the new reign of Juddha Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the Nepali government begins to attempt to modernize, albeit it is considered to be a feat hardly accomplishable without British aid. Moreover, due to the already numerous offspring off Juddha Shamsher, the succession issue continues to grow as the number of dissatisfied Rana dynasty members grows. Attempting to call for British aid, the Nepali government draws upon the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship signed in 1923, asking for help in developing the nation.
 * Austria: The coup attempt by the fascist party is met with heavy resistance from the Austrian Schutzbund, which is representing both the Austrian Communist Party, and the Austrian Socialist-Democratic Party. After long fighting in the early months of 1934, the Communist Schutzbund proves successful, especially after the fascists losing their German support. The country's name is changed to the Volksrepublik Österreich, or the People's Republic of Austria. The army is renamed the Volksarmee, and conscripting begins for it to defend against the Germans in the north. An alliance is asked of the USSR.
 * In the United States, the Dust Bowl continues to plague the Great Plains. FDR signs the Securities Exchange Act into law, creating the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He also continues to enact other New Deal laws. The US continues to focus mostly on the economy but there is some military buildup, especially in the navy.
 * Venezuela Diplomacy to the USA: We will sell our oil to the USA for 90% going market prices over the next 10 years if we are sold two M2_light_tanks, 2Felixstowe_F5L civil aricraft and two Ford_3-Ton_M1918 tanks, one Curtiss T-32 Condor II light bomber, 30 1917 Fordson Model F tractors , along with the license to make five more if needed.
 * Guatemala, following the socialist victory last year, begins to undergo major reforms. The nationalized land is distributed to peasants, to great excitement. With more money going to individual farmers, the Depression begins to lighten. A second coup attempt by right-wing elements of the Army is beaten off by Mayan paramilitaries, convincing the government of the necessity of reforming the army. Officers are replaced with Mayans and socialists loyal to the new regime, along with hired foreigners, including White Russians and Republican Spanish. The military begins to retrain, but remains hampered by its lack of arms. The government mobilizes prisoners to improve the country's infrastructure, building new roads and improving harbours. Guatemala requests to buy arms from any nation willing to sell.
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 33 years. The Prime Minister is Ramsay MacDonald. He is the first Labour Party Prime Minister in British history. The United Kingdom and her colonies are reeling from the Great Depression.The economy is in free-fall with no signs of stopping. The nation, which is still war weary from the Great War, warns against the regime in Germany, stating that it is a sure-fire way that will only lead to the Treaty of Versailles being repealed and German aggression returning. This speech is well-received in some audiences, but others dismiss it. With the rapidly faltering economy, support for the Liberal Party increases. Frontrunner Sir Herbert Samuel leads the Liberal Party as of 1933. He begins working with the colonies to gather support for the Liberal Party. Liberal Party sentiment grows in Scotland. As of the end of this year, Sir Herbert Samuel seems to have garnered much support for his run as Prime Minister in the upcoming General Elections. In the meantime, Ramsay MacDonald's health is faltering, leading to ineffective rule. In October, Newfoundland returns to Crown Colony status after acute economic crisis. Experimental radar technology is tested along the English Channel. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of facism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.

'''China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jiangxi Soviet is completed and the Jiangxi Soviet is eliminated. This is a glorious victory for the KMT and a bitter defeat for the CCP. The defeat is so bitter for the CCP that they are forced to retreat, to go on the Long March and the KMT pursue to the Communists. It is seen as the end of the Communists, but aid from the Soviet Union gives the Communists a glimmer of hope. Meanwhile, the victory gives an extreme boost of morale to the Nationalists. With the Nationalist victory, Chiang Kai-Shek gives a speech “Nationalists, today we have achieved a great victory against the Communists with the elimination of Jiangxi Soviet and now they are retreating on their Long March, today we are victorious. But that battle is not over, for our enemy is on the retreat, and they must be eliminated. Another enemy, however, must also be eliminated. This enemy is not an external one but an internal one, this enemy is corruption and inefficiency. In order for us to be successful, we must cleanse and purge corruption and inefficiency out of us. That is the only way for us to have an effective military, a stabilized economy, and a strong industry. In order to gain these things, we must follow the military and industrial model of Germany, thus we must reorganize the military according to the German Model as well as modernize our industry according to the German Model, which is Nationalising the industries and creating incentives for the people to work on the industry. On the topic of the people, we must also appeal to the people more by directly helping them, for this will be the key to our success, and to our ultimate victory.” This announcement set the course for military, industrial, economic, political, and social reform and a general National campaign to improve Nationalist China. The Communists are also pursued. Military and Infra turn. '''
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy and military balance." Desperate for investors in the mining industry, Spain reaches out to the Soviet Union to invest and fund Spanish mining corporations to help turn around the Spanish economy. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Guatemala: requests a trade deal with Spain, and also wishes to purchase artillery and small rms.
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk upon Germany his return from Germany directs the Foreign Minister of Turkey to visit Germany and discuss the Communist threat. 
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Venezuela: We still struggle under the Great Depression. Infrastructure is improved, with some new roadways being built. We continue with the water and road improvements. A literacy campaign starts in Mérida and Coro. A few rubber plantations are planted. We still nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations, compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used.
 * Venezuela Dip' to USA: Are you intrested? We will sell our oil to the USA for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold two M2_light_tanks and two Ford_3-Ton_M1918 tanks, one Curtiss T-32 Condor II light bomber, two Felixstowe_F5L civil aircraft, 30 1917 Fordson Model F tractors, along with the license to make five more tractors if needed.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Spain: We are fellow Hispanics! We will sell our oil to the Spain for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold two AME_VI Reconnaissance aircraft, five Loring_R-III Reconnaissance/light attack aircraft and 30 farm tractors, along with the licence to make 25 more tractors if needed.
 * Spanish Dip: We agree and stuff.
 * German Dip: Germany requests a trade agreement trading oil for . 
 * Venezeuela: We will think about it. 
 *  Venezuela Dip' to Germany:   We take up the offer! We will sell our oil to you for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold 25 Gewehr 98 rifles, two Panzer_I tanks, two Dornier Do 10 light fighters, five Dornier Komet pasinger plains, along with the licence to make five more Dornier Komets if needed.
 * Ummm ... Venezuela you do realize I'm still restricted in sales right? I can't sell those things because officially I don't have them, I can sell you the rifles, though.
 * OK, sorry for the oversight.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Germany: We are not interested.
 * Brazil: Requests that Venezuela allow for eventual development of the oil fields into joint Brazilian/Venezuelan corporations in order to increase production and profitability. We also look to start the formation of an economic bloc between Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Brazil: We are intresed in taking this further, but will it include my trade partner Guatemala?
 * Brazil Dip: It's a distinct possibility but With President Vargas intent on greater South American political, military, and economic development Guatemala may have to be regulated into a client status in the agreement rather than a fully regarded member. This will still allow for multiple protections provided by the future organization.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Brazil: OK.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We agree to trade these weapons and licenses for oil. We request to purchase oil for $1 per barrel.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Argentina: OK.
 * 'Saudi Arabia: ' The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King  accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time.'  The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs lead the nation to debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil.
 * Guatemala continues to redistribute land and reconstruct its infrastructure. new reforms, including official bilingualism, improved welfare, better worker protection laws, and new farming practices, are put in place. Tensions rise with Honduras over territorial and ideological disputes. Seeking to defend itself, the military modernizes, with new training and rearmament being put in place. Reserves are trained and limited conscription put in place, at least theoretically, although funding issues mean this is sporadic in reality. Guatemala asks to buy arms from any nation willing to sell.
 * Guatemala requests a trade deal with Japan. It also requests to buy small arms and machine guns from Sweden, and asks to buy five Polikarpov I-5 fighters from the Soviet Union.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Guatemala: We will sell 25 old Colt M1873 revolvers we got from the USA years ago to Guatemala.
 * Guatemala; Gratefully accepts the Venezuelan offer.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We accept the request, the majority of the population seeing Sweden as a neutral nation.
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to prosper under the leadership of the great Comrade Stalin, although the central government begins to become conflicted over problems forming in various fields. The slow industrialization continues to march at a slow pace, but some are unsatisfied with the slow progress. In the military, discontent rises from the poor operation of the war in Xinjiang. While relatively successful for Soviet forces, the high cost in manpower and armored vehicles signifies significant problems that may not be tenable in future conflicts. As such, several begin to rally in secret behind Mikhail Tukhachevsky who is known for his rivalry with Stalin. While nothing comes of it yet, the situation could further ignite and cause problems for the central government and the people. In international affairs, the Soviet Union begins to take a tentative step forward by joining the League of Nations and also beginning to explore the idea of exporting Communism to other nations. Austria, as the fourth nation in Europe to accept and hold Communism, is lauded in Soviet propoganda and the Soviet Union begins exporting weapons and supplies to the Austrians. Similar exports, including planes, are sent the Guatemalan Mayans who are similarly praised for their efforts. The CCP is aided as well. 
 * Mongolia: Persecution of monks and other Buddhist follows continues at a steady pace.
 * Tuva: Persecution continues as normal. Not much happens here, since it is a sparesly populated country. The people are perfectly happy due to the gifts of Communism, however, and nothing could possibly be improved. /s
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: A provisional government is established to rule over the newly liberated area. Due to the population of Kazakhs and Uyghurs, the area is named the East Turkestan People's Republic for the time being. (This is assuming UT is ok with this, if not, it may be removed.)
 * (UT is both okay and not okay with this, as UT is both the Nationalists and the Communists. The Communists are fine with it, the Nationalists are not. Well the Nationalists are happy that there was a cease fire and the invasion ended, but not happy that the land was taken away without a formal treaty and are mad that you called them Warlords as they had the Ma General's in the area. The (other) Xinjang warlords of northern Xinjiang (now East Turkestan People's Republic are angry, however, as you took their land. But it meta UT okay with this? Yes. Only I am not UT, I am KK. Or am I?)
 * Austrian Dip: We request to buy 100 T-28, 250 T-26, 400 T-27 tankettes, and 500 BA-3/6 armoured cars. We also request to buy 200 I-16 'Ishak' fighters. We also request the blueprints of the tanks so we may produce them in Austria.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: Granted, over time. For logistics reasons, not all of this can be sent at the present time.
 * German Reich: Paul von Hindenburg passes away much to the dismay of the reich. His successor as Regent-Marschall is Werner von Blomberg while Oskar von Hindenburg remains the Reichkanzler. The regime formally allows individual politicians and poltical parties friendly to the right wing cause to reform forming a puppet Reichstag known as the Vater Koalition (fatherland coalition). The Vater Koalition continues to pass laws developed by the military, aiding in the remilitarization of Germnay's industrial complex, and expanding the reserves by enlisting new "recruits and volunteers" along with a slow process of intergrating the various paramilitary organizations into the military institution. Outraged at the rise of a Communist goverment in Austria Berlin demands that the Communists step down and return power to the Austro-facists. Using the rise of a Communist goverment in Austria as propaganda, the government expands its efforts to raise awareness of the RED DANGER to the Reich. Germany once more requests that France and Britain let Germany remilitarize to protect itself from the Communist threat. All anti-semite propaganda comes to an effective end as anti-Communism and anti-slavism starts to take over the propaganda machine. Efforts to restore German social morality begin as a new education system is instituted based on the old empire traditions and mentality with a focus on martial fitness, national pride, awareness, and the so called Prussian morales. Efforts to fund the anti-Communists in Austria begin, with arms and paramilitary ready to aid the counter revolution should it arise. Cultural development continues as conservative values start to grow in importance again, anda neo-classical and neo-romanticist movement develop. The German scientific community continues to florish under the new regime which funds its development. Engineerinig, aeronautics, and physics recieve a majority of government funding. A prototype panzer and fighter plane are developed in secret and put forward for testing in eastern Prussia. Industrial growth and stabalization of the economy continues thanks to the new policies taking by the government, unemployment starts falling for the first time since the 1929 crash. To further Germany's diplomatic goals, Berlin asks to rejoin the League of Nations, and requests that Britain, France, and Poland attend talks to talk about revisions to the treaty of Versailles on the bases of mutual understanding and making amends in the name of peace and order in Europe. The Reich welcomes all nations who oppose Communism to send delagates to Berlin to help develop counter-measures against the spread of Communism. 
 * Greek Diplomacy: The Greek ambassador in Berlin informs Germany that our country would like to join an anti-Communist pact.
 * French Dip: We agree to meet with the German delegates.
 * Holy See: We wish to meet with the German leaders to discuss the rise of Communism in austria and how Europe can work together to end it.
 * Turkish - German Diplomacy: The Republic of Turkey requests the German Reich for the purchasal of 150,000 rifles, along with the request; a letter is sent. "It is considered our utmost need to protect our nation from any threat, and verily; it has come to our notice that the Soviet Union exists as a threat to the interests of the German Reich and it would would a total strategic failure for the Germans for if the Soviet Union was to ever gain a gateway into the Middle East through Turkey. It is not hidden from us that the German Reich will eventually have to depend upon Turkey to act as a deterrent to the Soviet expansion and will eventually have to look our way. Indeed, the Turks cannot take a stand against Communism unless we are offered support by the German Reich and this support can surely be extended in the form of military aid. We look forward to the reply from the government of Oskar von Hindenburg".
 *  German Dip:''  Germany agrees.
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We can send spies and assassins to help kill Communist people if you need help.
 * Iran: Effort to spread western ideas into our country continue but Communism is banned in our country, We ask Germany for support in the modernization of our country. A groups of expert return from Europe and take an active role along secular Iraqi to help modernize our institution. We require a trade agreement with Saudi Arabia to improve the relation between our two nations.
 * Argentina: We begin to use the design of the T-26 light tank and adapt it. The military begins to design its own machine gun based off the DP medium machine gun. They also begin to work on modernizing the tank by mlaking a more powerful main gun. They also begin to plan a tank production factory. The economy continues to slowly improve, although the government's aid packages and work crews continue to operate.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Argentina: We make an offer! We will sell our oil to you for only 90% of the going market prices for 25 years, if we are sold 25 Chiesanuova Bolt Action Rifles and ten Lehnar Submachine Gun, along with the licence to make 25 more of each if needed.
 * Brazilian Dip: We offer an opportunity to continue growing closer relations wise in order to facilitate the future creation of a larger economic and possibly military bloc between Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We agree to both Brazil and Venezuela's request.
 * Greece: The military continues developing, with currently around 300,000 men in the armed services (while a new 15,000 recruits have begun training). The navy has 34 ships and the air force has 78 aircraft (as in OTL). Factories are being prepared to construct more guns, bullets, and aircraft as part of the reformation of the Hellenic Armed Forces. The troops are being trained and given more ammunition. The general staff plans on organizing military drills next year to make sure it is combat capable. Additional border troop formations continue withdrawing from the Bulgarian border now that everything there is stabilized, leaving the usual number of border guards. Meanwhile, the republican government is leaning heavily toward reinstating George II as the King of Greece (will happen in 1935, as in OTL). Greece would like to established diplomatic relations with the new regime in Bulgaria. [Mod response].
 * Swiss scientific and technological research projects are vastly expanded, especially in the fields of energy and oil exploration. Private enterprises invest a lot in these fields, as well as in lighting devices and as ever, fine watches. The Saudi-Helvetian Petroleum Company is formally set up to bigin work in Saudi Arabia. In regards to the international sphere, the government expresses its concern at German remilitarization and the radical Communist turn of events in Austria, but does wish to maintain peaceful, cordial relations with both nations. To better secure its national integrity, the government continues the expansion and fortification of the Swiss redoubt, including the addition of newly acquired antiaircraft guns and other anti-tank and wheeled vehicle defenses. The first women formally join the military, though for the moment only in reservist and home defense units. All citizens having completed military service not active in the military will be required to undertake yearly "refresher" training, including basic first aid. Current soldiers undergo strict training, inspired by the Swiss Reisläufer and old Prussian military. A number of the best trained soldiers are formed into crack Alpine units. Laws passed in most cantons now require houses to have bomb shelters, to complement public ones and all citizens are issued with gas masks and taught how to use them. In order to be prepared for the worst, large cities begin air-raid drills, which are seen as unnecessary by many but nonetheless take place rather effectively. Politically the leftist government is still widely supported due to their efforts to the economy, though some begin to feel already that spending should be cut back, and in some areas conservatives begin to see support rise. There is also discussion to potentially implement the post of a formal head of state. Switzerland would like to enquire with the British about any opportunity to assist in potential oil exploration in Kuwait, which could benefit from the Swiss' involvemnt in Saudi Arabia.
 * Brazil: Vargas unable to gain support for further reforms has managed to stave off some political repurcussion due to the virtue of him agreeing to not pass any more reforms in the next few years. Vargas, however, having managed to make a few relatively good decisions for his nations industrial base begins expanding industrial capability in the southern areas of Brazil with the opening of a new Automotive factory. Surprisingly enough its owned by a local businessman that managed to salvage enough money to buy equipment from American automotive factories that were shut down or shutting down. Vargas himself goes on a personal visit to the Brazilian interior and sees much of his work in politics being applied to the northern and interior sectors of Brazil. The Brazilian government has used its own corporations and hired workers clearing key resources and settlement territory into the Brazilian interior Guarded by the military. The first settlements and resource sites have been set up just up the amazon river. The Success of this program surprises Vargas but with the ability to gain land, a prosperous job, and lifelong prosperity draws thousands of Brazilians from the overcrowded coasts. Vargas in general promotes many of the people living in the favelas to travel to these new developing towns hoping to expand these into major cities. So far only a few cities have more than a few thousand people but population density continues to expand. Brazil's military continues many of its projects managing to guard official numbers of funding being diverted through various threats and deals with Vargas himself. The Military has managed to begin the development of a fast moving attack doctrine based off the Acquired American tanks and the Brazilian forces in general have made good progress. The Brazilian army sees the need to expand its own domestic production capability and begins to draw up designs for its own tanks with prototypes to be presented within the next six months. Some foreign advisors from Germany are brought in to consult as a privately paid venture. The Brazilian air force is also essentially non-existent and key investments into Aeronautics begins to pay off with the acquisition of Air craft engines from various sources providing much needed insight into the governments military expansion. The Navy remains just as it was currently with the Two battleships still undergoing the final stages of their refit even acquiring new modern Main batteries and fire control systems as well as training in new naval doctrines. The Brazilian Admiralty remains skeptical on how to pass naval expansion to Vargas or his upper tier advisors but by the new fiscal year they notice a noticeable increase in the budget. This all does have a somewhat profound impact on Brazils economy as while the economy is starting to recover the mass spending has put many into a worried state that this will just cause another crash even worse than before. Brazil begins to finalize its major influences over Paraguay and Uruguay with scheduled meetings to discuss trade deals and joining a trade sphere within the next few years. Offers are sent to repair bad relations present from previous issues. Brazil asks the italians for Stategic naval advisors as well as the expansion of the industry base to support a domestically built navy. Brazil also asks to order one of the Italians massive modern battleships. With the aggreement sealed with the Italians the Brazilian government immediately hires out multiple advisors from the Italian navy in order to modernize and begin the transformation of Brazil's Navy.
 * Is it plausible for Brazil to vassalize something this quickly that is so culturally different (especially Uruguay)?
 * Actually Uruguay has historically been a Brazilian client state at least until recent history, and Uruguay in the north has a very unique culture that is a mix of Portuguese and Spanish culture, this same culture can be found in southern Brazil. 
 * They are still both extremely low population states that combined still leave me with like 27x their population size. If Brazil ever really wanted to these nations could be wiped off the map (and at one point Paraguay pretty much was.)
 * Just don't see Uruguay under its current gov. going to that status with Brazil.
 * German Dip: The Reich requests a trade agreement with Brazil.
 * Brazilian Dip: We Agree.
 * Italy Dip: We agree, we should have some material over in a year or two.
 * Argentinian Dip: We offer Brazil a mutual defense pact, technology trade agreement, and possibly form a South American Defense organization.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal and oil. We offer you our oil and woulld like to buy 15 Caproni Ca.97 civil utility aircraft as well.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic offers to meet (Military turn)
 * Vatican City: Pius backs the former Fascist regime in Austria and congratulates Germany on ending its anti-Semitic propaganda. Pius wishes to meet with leaders of Europe over the next year to discuss the rise of Communism and Pius addresses this in his Christmas Day speech and radio broadcast. The pope visits countries around Italy and builds relations with Catholic leaders. (Dip turn).
 * Hungary: Hungary's Government stops lowering taxes. Hungary continues to invest in their military, because of its geographical location. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 700,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. Hungary also continues developing their infrastructure, especially in major cities. The economy and infrastructure buildup are the main goals for the upcoming year. (Military and Infrastructure turn)
 * New Zealand: With the next general election being in 1935, it is highly expected that George Forbes will lose his post as Prime Minister, with either Bill Parry or Harry Rushworth winning. The Moderate Party does very well, although it is not large enough to be in the Parliament. As the fascist regimes in Austria and Germany have now collapsed, we offer relations to them. Trade of sheep with Australia continues, and we also continue to trade with other countries. We offer help to the UK as a dangerous famine has striken them. We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's  in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 Million.(Military and Infrastructure turn)
 * Australia: We continue adding New Zealand in trading its sheep-related products, and begin building up our own military. We recruit over 100,000 men for the standing army, and begin training them in the best possible way.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF begins gaining ground, and it is on the way to becoming a major political party. The next elections are in 1937, unless the government breaks earlier. We offer an alliance to the German Reich. 
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * Belgium: Brussels military are expecting normal plan. But their goal is for the lessons to learn. Improvement are economy and military. Expects a good military and navy, the weapons not recruited yet on these troops. The standing troops is 45,000.
 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. We ask to join the League of Nations. Riots start in some place to oppose the ruling of the PM and the King. Some people want to make the nation democratic like the USA and establish a presidency with one ruler. When word goes out of the riots throughout the nation the PM thinks about assassinating the King to set up a democratic nation. The PM starts to train his own special troops. A border control team is set up mostly on the Austrian and Albanian borders.
 * Canada: Canada works on establishing the oil industry, and growing the economy in general. We also build up our military, especially in the east, and we ask to purchase aircraft and submarines, and we could trade oil for them. We build some submarines and station them near the maritime provinces and the St. Lawrence River. We are now in good shape after the depression, as our eceonomy has grown for a year and a half straight. We ask again for Britain to grant our complete independence, and if they grant it, we ask for other countries to recognize us as a country. 
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion
 *  Canada, while very much caring, was independent as of 1931 and still had major  exclusive ties to Britain which linked their economies and militaries. Also calm down with your industry you are not a major war power in terms of naval and aircraft power -Feud' 
 * ​Wheat and cattle farming are a good source of early income. Begin to expand farming on the Prairies of Canada since the British need your food exports. - River Nile
 * Canada became independent in 1931, Feud is correct. ~ Upvote
 * Canada more or less gave less of a crap about their foreign relations to some major degree, they still let the British decide their foreign policy for a good part of it mostly due to the longstanding relation. This continued well into the 50's -Feud
 * In the United States, nothing happens in particular. FDR continues to pass New Deal laws. The US economy begins to repair and there is some mild buildup of the navy, more specifically the Pacific fleet. Most things continue as they were last year and the military occupation of Haiti continues.
 * Japan: Military and Infrastructure improves. Militarization of the government causes innovation in technology. This also shows in the ever increasing ultranationalism of the public and thus larger numbers of new recruits. Among the ideas flooding the streets is Pan-Asianism and anti colonialism. Resentment against Britain and France grows.
 * Manchukuo: Infrastructure and military improves.
 * Korea: Infrastructure and Military improves.
 * West Paupa: infrastructure and Military improves.
 * British Raj: India continues building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Meanwhile, in Pune in India, a Indian writer begins writing on his first book called - Meet the Sweetest Folk.
 * Seriously Eric? That stuff again? 
 * Monaco: The nation of Monaco again asks for a non-aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. Recent meetings with the Captain Regents of San Marino and the Prince of Liechtenstein result in a conference this year at Oslo, which finalize the creation of an alliance and economic union, known as the Union of Nonaligned Monetary States. San Marino, Monaco, the Vatican, and Liechtenstein are declared the organization’s founding members, while Luxembourg and Andorra are sent formal invitations to join. Similarly the Vatican’s Bernardino Nogara is invited to serve as the organization’s first financial head.
 * Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal. We offer you our oil and would like to buy 15 Caproni Ca.97 civil utility aircraft
 * Austria: The national anthem is changed to Edelweiss Arbeiter von Wien (Workers from Vienna). The new tanks and planes start being received. We create the Volkspanzerkorps and the Volksluftwaffe. We continue to improve the military. An alliance offer is sent to the USSR.
 * Sorry, you can't choose Edelweiss as your national anthem. That's a Rogers and Hammerstein song from 1959 and not a folk song.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.

Persia is renamed as Iran.

The dust bowl affects much of the American mid-west.

An earthquake strikes (Balochistan earthquake) Pakistan, killing 40,000.

Mrw theres no such thing as Pakistan in 1935.

We could just say OTL Pakistan.

'''Actually the name Pakistan did already exist, albeit as Pakstan. So technically it's correct.'''

'''Yes, you're correct in stating that the name Pakistan existed but not a single person in India ever referred to the areas that now form Pakistan as 'Pakistan' because the All India Muslim League never adopted the demand for the creation of a Muslim-majority state until 1940. '''
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. The purchase of 150,000 rifles from the German Reich is considered a great moment in the history of the Turkish Armed Forces. However, keeping in mind the desire to upgrade the navy and the air force; the Zafer Project is initiated to develop the Turkish military although it is well known that this shall be a long project. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey and a major port is to be constructed at Erdimir which would serve to establish greater Turkish control on the Black Sea.

 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist Temples are also built.
 * Venezuela: We still struggle under the Great Depression Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. We continue with the water and road improvements. A literacy campaign continues in Mérida and Coro. A few rubber and sugar plantations are planted. We end nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations since it is now completed, compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used. The oil industry grows due to Spain, Brazil's and Argentina's usage of it. As it grows we we have a labour shortage request Latin people that have no hpe at home come to our nation as we need ~20,000 skilled and semi-skilled workers over the next ten years- Spain and Italy are aproced for immigrants as in reality [] and [].
 * Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal. We offer you our oil and fruit. We would like to buy 15 Caproni Ca.97 civil utility aircraft and five L3/33 was a tankettes of of Italy. We would like Italy to give us technical help in our oil industry.

 * Venezuela Dip' to Vatican: We offer you a small trade deal and would like the Pope to visit our Catholic nation.
 * Brazil: Vargas, seeing what only a few years have done for Brazil, officially begins the development of a new constitution which will drawn up in six months time. The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the Depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With Industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The Government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. The settlement, however, expands rather modestly and much more than expected as the favelas begin to file out for more of these inland settling opportunities. The Brazilian navy proudly re-presents the modernized battleships to the admiralty who are extremely impressed by the modernization as well as the two battleships being able to perform in top shape. These ships are immediately re-deployed with the best crews and are sent on a maiden voyage across brazils southern coasts. The Brazilian navy with advisement from its Italian hired counterparts finishes blueprints for multiple designs of new ships particular cruisers, destroyers and frigates as well as multiple auxiliary models. The first three destroyers to be domestically produced are put into shipbuilding in Rio De Janeiro and will be finished in about a years time. The next year the First frigate, and first Cruiser will be put into production as well to give testing designs for all of the necessary classes of ships. The Brazilian military begins to look into the usefulness of aircraft carriers. The Brazilian navy agrees to a personnel expansion to nearly 100,000 to fill opening roles as well as giving the training to another 30,000 marines all to be ready in the next year. The Brazilian army continues to research and develop on new tanks branching out into light, medium, and heavy designs. Private aviation, however, makes inroads into aircraft development but as of yet have not gotten purchases from the government. The Brazilian roadway system expands out of the coast managing to push into the southern areas and interior. The Influence into Uruguay continues as progress into the major economic network in South America continues. The Work force of Brazil continues to develop further with more and more beginning to be deployed within industry jobs speeding up economic recovery. Brazil sends observers to watch the construction of its Battleship in Italy. Brazilian population hits 37.5 million with a sharp increase in immigration from Europe


 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team.
 * Japan: Pan-Asianism and Militarism as well as long Time rivalry and need for resources causes support for an invasion of China, so War is declared. Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Manchukuo: Declares war. Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Korea: War is declared. Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * West Paupa: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Iran: We hire European advisor to help improve our nation and request a trade agreement from Saudi Arabia. Oil production increase slowly and effort to modernize the country into a Western like society continue. Western education continue trought Iran with some resistence but the government point that the Persian had always be tolerant toward other culture. Infracturcture continue to be develop.


 * Greece: George II returns to the throne of Greece, dissolving the Second Hellenic Republic and reestablishing the Kingdom of Greece. Ioannis Metaxas becomes the Prime Minister of Greece (as in OTL). He is a nationalist and a militarist, and begins aggressively expanding the Greek military. Propaganda about Greek history and famous battles of eras long past causes a surge in recruitment, raising military count to 335,000 men over several months. The government also orders the production of more tanks and other vehicles for the army, more planes for the air force, and considers buying more ships from other governments for the navy. The training of new troops continues, with them being issued new weapons. The military begins combat drills to test its effectiveness, taking part in exercises around the country. Metaxas also makes plans to begin construct a series of fortifications and trenches on the northern border, called the Metaxas Line (as in OTL). The railways in the country are nearly finished being upgraded and construction of new lines will begin soon.
 * Iranian Dip: Offers a trade agreement to Greece.
 * Greek Diplomacy: We accept the agreement.
 * Guatemala Continues to reform. The post of President is abolished, replaced with a Central Executive Committee headed by the General Secretary of the new People's Democratic Party. The flag is also intended to be modified to reflect Guatemala's new identity. The economy is brought under greater government control, and worker rights, particularly those of subsistence farmers, are vastly expanded. Fertilizer subsidies are offered, increasing productivity. The new General Secretary, Tecun Arguenta, encourages the spread of the news of these reforms into Honduras and El Salvador. In Honduras particularly, the farmers are stirred up, armed and organized into People's Committees by Guatemalan agents. Tensions continue to rise, and the military expands swiftly Soviet equipment is gratefully accepted, and the military rearms with that and Swedish weapons. Corvee labour is mobilized to begin building a cross-country railroad at no cost to the government. This is more of a propaganda exercise than anything else, however. Guatemala asks for an alliance with El Salvador, citing their mutual enemy in Honduras. Mod Response
 * British Raj: India continues improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. In the last Secretary of States news in India, Sir Samuel Hoare left office and is replaced by The Marquess of Zetland. Both them are Conservative and are English lived in England, but it's Indian as well. Meanwhile, an Indian writer called Ravi Phunkar completes the book Meet the Sweetest Folk and releases it.
 * I see someone likes IM. 
 * Australia: Military buildup continues, with the development of new rifles, tanks, and aircraft for the miltary starting. We aid New Zealand in trading their sheep based products with the rest of the world.
 * New Zealand: Bill Parry becomes Prime Minister after the General elections, between a close race with Harold Rushworth and George Forbes. We offer sheep trade to Nationalist China, British Raj and Guatemala. We continue to support Nationalist China, and send a few volounteers to fight the Communists. Several tanks and new rifles are built, most are from imports. Prime Minister Bill Parry orders the building of reservations for the Maori, and asks the people to stop discriminating them.The United Party proposes to merge with the Reform Party to form a larger party called the National Party, however, due to the weak state of the United Party, the Reform Party refuses, weakening the United Party even more. We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's  in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 million.
 * German Reich: With France agreeing to talks Germany proposes a new treaty stipulating a return of the Saarland to Germany and Germany ending all efforts to retake Alsace-Lorraine.  Germany also demands that France allow them to remilitarize the Rhineland as the land is German soil, and no country should be forbidden from exercising full sovereignty over their own land.  Berlin formally declares that it will begin full conscription again to meet the threat posed by the rise of Communism in Europe. With that said the Regime declares an end to the arms restrictions preparing for the construction of automatic weapons, panzers, and planes out in the open. With the German Industry nearly re-militarized production begins at a moderate pace. The paramilitary groups and volunteer groups are absorbed into the Reichswehr bring the German active armed forces up to 500,000, with plenty more troops being conscripted. The reserves stand at 300,000. The armed forces are renamed the Wehrmacht (combined armed forces). Naval expansion begins again particularly cruisers and U-boats. The idea to make battleships is shelved due to costs and a need to focus resources elsewhere. The first fighter  of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt df 109, with full scale production to begin within a few months. The Panzer I is developed and testing of the new tank begins, several of these tanks are shipped to the volunteers aiding Chinese nationalists to test in actual combat scenarios. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted  for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-german sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. 
 * ​French Dip: We agree to the German treaty terms.
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.
 * German Dip: Germany extends a hand of friendship to Sweden in an effort to improve relations and requests a trade agreement and mutual defence pact.
 * Sweden Diplomacy: We Decline in order to remain neutral.
 * Hungary: Hungary heavily develops the Economy and Infrastructure. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 700,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Belgium: Some works held on improving economy and military. The radiation of this control does look quite good. Brussels government says the walls would be important, but as for usuals for improving infrastructure ahead, he needs workers to establish them further.
 * Argentina: Work on a new tank design continues. The navy begins to design a light aircraft carrier. The plan is to carry 30 fighter aircraft, two cargo aircraft, four scout aircraft, and one anti-submarine warfare aircraft. It will be armed with four 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, eight fifty caliber machine guns, and twelve dual thirty caliber machine guns. The navy also plans a modern destroyer to replace the aging fleet. Shipyards launch the first light patrol boat to replace the old gunboats from 1875. They are armed with a single 100 mm cannon, one 50 caliber machine gun, and four 30 caliber machine guns The Navy decides to retire the two Libertad-class battleships, and sell them. Roadways are put under construction into the interior of the nation. Democratic reform continues. Infrastructure upgrades. The government shows concern for the situation in China and hopes for a peaceful resolution.
 * Guatemala: Requests to buy part of the decommissioned fleet and also offers an advantageous trade deal.
 * Spain: Offers to purchase the two battleships for $90,000 a year to keep them there until 1940. After that, the amount paid would be decided between the two nations. It would be kept there but have soldiers working down there as well, and won't be bought up until 1940, due to already in progress elimination of much older ships.
 * Switzerland's work on the redoubt continues, with the installation of the first larger Swiss-made weapons. Cities are given large spotlights in order spot any potential nightime air-raids. The military begins general drills and training missions, going through several plans of action in case on invasion. The government contemplates conscription due to similar actions in neighboring countries and by midyear being to starts a basic mobilization. Swiss company Martini develops a sturdy rear-engined car which might just save the company as the military begins placing orders for staff car use. The government, being pressured by the opposition introduces visas for all entry to the country by foreigners, though they are inexpensive. The Swiss league begins bringing in top players from Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, helping to improve its level and quality. The Swiss show interest in joining the Union of Nonaligned Monetary States.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The current Dutch government falls, meaning that in a few months, there will be elections to determine the new Prime Minister.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 


 * Iceland: Starts to fight for Denmark give independence, we improve military and a good Communist party is gonna substitute the King Kristjan X.
 * Austria: We support the Icelandic War for Independence on the side of Iceland and their Communist party. To counter the Freikorps incursions, we create the Volksschutzstaffel, or the People's Protection Squadron. Their task is to counter fascist movements into Austria, as well as move into fascist territory and cause chaos there. Our leader, Hans Markert creates the Arms Act of 1935. This allows our factories to begin manufacturing arms, tanks, armored cars, tankettes, and planes. We only produce copies of the Soviet models for now, but we plan to create our own versions of tanks in the near future. This goes as well for the planes. For arms, we begin producing Steyr M1912 pistols, and Steyr M1895 Rifles. The army now numbers 500,000 men. Conscription continues. We improve the infrastructure. We ask for an alliance with the Soviet Union.

 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Desperate for investors in the mining industry, Spain reaches out to the Soviet Union to invest and fund Spanish mining corporations to help turn around the Spanish economy. Meanwhile, civil unrest in Gallica, supposedly led by Francisco Franco, rises up. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * ​French Dip: With money freed up from giving freedoms to our colonies, we would like to invest into Spain's potential mining opportunities
 * In the United States, Amelia Earhart is the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. The Dust Bowl continues to plague the central US and the Black Sunday dust storm strikes the affected regions. FDR creates the Works Progress Administration. Airplanes are banned from flying over the White House. Due to what looks like potential Japanese aggression, plans for an independent Philippines are put on hold again, causing minor unrest in the islands and clashes with local government. There is some minor buildup in the armed forces, but the main focus is repairing the economy.
 * Soviet Union: The situation inside the Soviet Union rises to a boiling point as the supporters of the NKVD and the military are increasingly tense with each other yet don't have the ability to act yet. Eventually, the tension reaches a critical point and the military supporters loyal to Mikhail Tukhachevsky decide to act first, convinced that if they wait much longer, they will be arrested and executed by Stalin and the NKVD. Military tanks and armored cars surround the Kremlin as Red Army forces storm the capital. While the situation remains tense for a while, it soon becomes apparent that the military forces are triumphant and Stalin and his cadre of supporters have been arrested for "crimes against the people and the revolution." Soon after, Stalin is tried in a show trial and condemned for treason. Stalin is executed in a quiet affair and soon after the military purge the NKVD of most of Stalin's supporters. Some of Stalin's supporters like Molotov are arrested but for most of them they are only condemned or imprisoned. The Council of Soviets declares Mikhail Tukhachevsky to be the head chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and is promoted to Marshal soon after. With this newfound power, Tukhachevsky begins the industrialization of the Soviet military at a pace even faster than what Stalin had tried to do, eager to rapidly modernize the military in both technology and tactics. The idea of Deep Operations is further developed and officially adopted by the Soviet military machine, which also places more focus on industrialization and armored vehicles than just sheer manpower. True to Tukhachevsky's rather stern and bloody disposition and reputation, the military starts investigation and production of chemical weapons such as sarin, mustard, and tear gas, although the development and stockpiling of these weapons is a classified secret. To help support the military machine that Tukhachevsky is making, industrialization and infrastructure efforts are increased in order to fulfill any demands the military and state might have. Less skilled on the diplomatic front, Tukhachevsky agrees to the alliance with Austria and also decides to support the Spanish mining industry, seeing it as a potential front to expand Communism in southern Europe. Noticing the Japanese invading China and deciding that this would be an opportune time to both exact revenge for the Xinjiang War and liberate more of the various Chinese peoples, the Soviet Union sends in several armies into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in order to carve out a section for themselves.
 * ​Mongolia: The coup in Moscow has sent tremors through the Mongolian government, and some of those that were fiercely loyal to Stalin flee while others stay to try to maintain their power. Soviet armies en route to invade China restore order in Mongolia and execute several of the Stalinist supporters for crimes against the people. As a result of the change, persecution of the Buddhists decreases slightly, although overall their situation is still not that great. Several cavalry and infantry divisions join their Soviet comrades to help liberate China.
 * Tuva: Much of what happens in Mongolia also happens in Tuva. The region is slightly unsettled with the coup, but life in the area soon returns to normal within a short period of time. A small Soviet force is installed to maintain order. A division of soldiers is provided to help assist the Soviets in their campaign.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: The provisional republic is largely unaffected by the coup, although it is soon affected by the war. The Republic does what it can to help the soldiers of the Soviet Union accomplish their objectives and some Uyghur nationalists and Communists join up with them in order to achieve national liberation.
 * Republic of Colombia: President Alfonso López Pumarejo begins a renewed campaign of modernization and reform in the Republic of Colombia. Trade continues in earnest with the United States, the source of most manufactured goods in Latin America. Modernization of the military also begins, with industrialization leading to more producing power. Construction begins on a new naval base and port.
 * 'Saudi Arabia: ' The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King  accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time.'  The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defend the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design to be rolled out by 1936, the Char B1 Tank. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,000,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 600,000 able bodied men in reserve. Two more Dunkerque-class battleships are laid down for construction as well as renovating the current French fleet. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic treaty offered to us by the Germans. We continue to keep a watchful eye on the increasing number of Austrian troops and the French keep a watchful eye on Spain with rumors of rebellions rising up within the nation. (Economy turn)
 * Vatican City: Continues use of the department of special administration and investments. The Vatican diplomats begins to write a concordat with Switerzland and other nearby nations regard church actions. Radio technology becomes an interest of Pius XI, thus we begin to look into the development of our own short range station.

The year was not turned by the mods, so I quit. The River Nile-2 (talk) 01:27, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

That is one of the strangest reasons for quitting I have ever heard.

I told you, River. You started the turn without consulting the mods, and you have been putting up new maps with no permission. I warned you that you were going to be banned if you kept this up. I never even acted on those claim, yet you quit anyway. ~ Upvote China: As a result of the Japanese and Soviet invasions of China, the Nationali Revolutionary Army and the People's Liberation Army are both mobilized to fight Japan, as well as Warlord Armies (5,600,000 Chinese are mobilized) with Chiang mobilizing the central government's army and air force and Mao rising up the peasants. Chiang stops the pursuit of Mao and they agree to join forces against the Imperial Japanese Army. In order to counter the invading Japanese, military and infrastructure is built up.
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 35 years. The General Elections take place this year, with Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the British Liberal Party, gaining a narrow victory. He becomes the first Prime Minister from the Liberal Party. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom.

''' The seventh congress of the Comintern is held. In OTL it was the final congress. USSR player can decide otherwise. '''

''' Iceland is the first country to legalize medical abortion. '''

''' In Canada, the Liberal Party takes control of the government and William Lyon Mackenzie King becomes Prime Minister. '''
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues with continued research into developing tanks and constructing battleships. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to confuct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea. At the very same time, the opening ceremony of the Erdimir Port takes place. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 18 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Meanwhile, the civil unrest in Gallica grows, with Fransisco Franco confirmed as their leader. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 35 years. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. In October, a massive strike takes place as desperate workers struggle to make a living. Communist sentiment in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland grows. The Communist Party, which saw a 4% share of the vote in the General Election of 1935, becomes popular in the British colonies as well. Such growth of the party concerns Parliament greatly. Troops are mobilized in York, a hotbed for Communism in England. Fingers point at the Labour Party, which disavows all association with the Communist Party of Britain and its various associates. This angers the Communists in Britain even further. The Labour Party and other parties in Parliament begin to make rash decisions in order to curb Communism in Britain. By December, the poor actions of Parliament have led to a dramatic rise in Communism in Britain. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom.
 * Iran Dip: Would like advisor support to modernize the nation, especially help the start of an oil industry.
 * Iran: Western eductation continue to be impose on the population along the style of life. Secularism is still promote and and Western influence continue to flood Iran. Communism is still banned and any influence of it is excluded. Saudi Arabia is offered a trade deal.
 * Brazil: The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. The settlement, however, expands rather modestly and much more than expected as the favelas begin to file out for more of these inland settling opportunities. The Brazilian navy proudly re-presents the modernized battleships to the admiralty who are extremely impressed by the modernization as well as the Two battleships being able to perform in top shape. These ships are immediately re-deployed with the best crews and are sent on a maiden voyage across brazils southern coasts. The Brazilian navy with advisement from its Italian hired counterparts finishes blueprints for multiple designs of new ships particular cruisers, destroyers and frigates as well as multiple auxiliary models. The first three destroyers to be domestically produced are put into shipbuilding in Rio de Janeiro and will be finished in about a years time. The next year the first frigate, and first cruiser will be put into production as well to give testing designs for all of the necessary classes of ships. The Brazilian military begins to look into the usefulness of aircraft carriers. The Brazilian navy agrees to a personnel expansion to nearly 100,000 to fill opening roles as well as giving the training to another 30,000 marines all to be ready in the next year. The Brazilian army continues to research and develop on new tanks branching out into light, medium, and heavy designs. Private aviation, however, makes inroads into aircraft development but as of yet have not gotten purchases from the government. The Brazilian roadway system expands out of the coast managing to push into the southern areas and interior. The Influence into Uruguay continues as progress into the major economic network in South America continues. The Workforce of Brazil continues to develop further with more and more beginning to be deployed within industry jobs speeding up economic recovery. Brazil sends observers to watch the construction of its battleship in Italy. Brazilian population hits 38.3 million with a sharp increase in emigration from Europe. Brazil begins to openly influence Venezuela using the connections through the oil development project to talk to many high up Venezuelan officials about the potential economic force of South America (Turn One of Six) Brazilian overtures to Uruguay continue to bear fruit as a more positive opinion of Brazil in Uruguay begins to rise. The Brazilian constitution is written expanding on social freedoms among other things. It is to be ratified in the next six months with the current acting president to serve five year term followed by an election to decide the new presidency.
 * 'Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production.

As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly.


 * Greece: As part of his plans for expanding the military, Metaxas orders a draft of men between the ages of 18 to 27 (with some exceptions). Military services of 18 months is now mandatory for Greek men. Some 50,000 people show up to draft stations, and it is expected that the total number of troops will ultimately be around half a million by 1936. Metaxas also does this to ensure that in the event of a war, the Greek state would always have a large pool of trained soldiers to call on, and every man will be able to fight. Propaganda depicts Greek men as the descendants of Spartans and calls on them to join the army and sign contracts. The Royal Hellenic Navy reached the size of 37 ships with three more recently-finished destroyers joining the fleet. The air force has risen to 85 aircraft. Military drills are nearly finished as the conscripts begin their training. Meanwhile, with the upgraded and enlarged railway system, transport becomes faster around the country. It is planned for renovations to take place in Athens.
 * New Zealand: Although Bill Parry's government is weak, he still is popular. We offer a trade agreement to Poland [MOD RESPONSE]. Economy is largely improved, mostly due to the Sheep trade with Australia.  We offer sheep trade to the Netherlands, British Raj and Nationalist China. ' We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US and sheep trade, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money and sheep trade. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 million and sheep trade. [Mil/Inf turn].'
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. In the last Secretary of States news in India, Sir Samuel Hoare left office and is replaced by The Marquess of Zetland. Both them are Conservative and are English lived in England, but its Indian as well. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India and Hinduism is declared as national religion of India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India.
 * Argentina: We continue working on our designs for a light aircraft carrier. The Navy launches another four small patrol boats. The army begins to construct a factory to manufacture tanks domestically and several private companies are hired. They also look at designing a new rifle and sidearm due to the curren age. The government continues domestic work projects which continue to help improve the economy. After some concern, the Communists in Argentina pledge to remain independent from Soviet policymakers. Agriculture begins to prosper in the south and cotton is planted in the north. Industry is worked on, the economy continues to recover.
 * Belgium: The industry is performing well. The military sets to work on those weapons for soldiers to equip them. Also the navy is still building ships at sea. Belgium improves infrastructure and economy, providing a good faxes to come up for the economy changes.
 * Poland: Poland builds up military and infrastructure. We seek allies, as we are weak and near strong countries. We are very threatened by Germany and Russia.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The army, navy and air force currently stands at 700,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. (Economy and infrastructure turn)


 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team.
 * Switzerland: Has mobilized 201,000 men into the military with plans in place for further increases should the need arise. 3000 women are called up. Meanwhile, due to the tense situation, the government is considering electing a general. Swiss companies begin developing a new type of dynamite with a much more controlled explosive force and radius, to use for ond building demolitions, tunnel roadwork and other uses.

China: We continue to mobolize and fight the Japanese. Industry and military is built up.
 * Iceland: Has making good progress in the war, with Austrian help, Iceland is more strong and captures Húsavik and Akureyri. The Communist government moves to Akureyri and forms a provisional government. We ask the USSR if they want to help Iceland in the battle for independence.
 * ​Iceland shouldn't even be trying to gain independence - much less asking for the help from the Soviets. -Feud
 * NOPE. ~ Upvote
 * Australia: Military development continues.  
 * Monaco: The nation of Monaco again asks for a non-aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. We begin supporting the former Sammarinese Socialist Party financially, in an effort to uproot the fascist government in San Marino. We help establish the party in exile, in the city of Rimini, where arms and munitions are stockpiled. Without the permission of San Marino or Italy, we secretly transport men from San Marino and Rimini to Monaco to begin training, alongside a group of volunteers. We ask for ally France for help training a military, and for supplies and weapons. We also ask for permission to use French facilities to aid in this process. Money is raised with the help of the Union of Nonaligned Monetary States, which begins investing in German infrastructure and other European nations. We consider Switzerland’s ascension into the organization, and ask for their support against Fascism in San Marino, with military force if needed, in exchange.
 * French Dip: We agree to help Monaco.
 * Japan: War continues in China. Economy and infrastructure are improved. A mass buildup of planes begins in West Paupa. Public opinion of the USSR slowly begins to grow back up as they are also against the Chinese pests.
 * Korea: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Manchukuo: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * West Paupa: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province.  Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. ' German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt DF 109, with full scale production to begin within a few months. The Panzer I is developed and testing of the new tank begins, several of these tanks are shipped to the volunteers aiding Chinese nationalists to test in actual combat scenarios. Development of the Panzer II begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted  for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. 
 *  ​'  Brazil Dip:'  We request to purchase some heavy industrial development components in automotive, naval and aircraft.
 * German: Germany agrees, the reich also offers to sell blueprints for the Df 109 and the panzer I
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elections, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers (Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * In the United States, FDR dedicates the Hoover Dam. Also, the National Labor Relations Act becomes law. Things generally continue as they were, and the country focuses mainly on restoring the economy. New jobs lead to infrastructure maintenance and construction of new infrastructure. There some minor naval buildup in the Pacific and weapons stuff. Nothing really important.
 *  Guatemala' s reforms continue, as the sad vestiges of the old economic system are wiped away. The formation of People's Communes in Honduras and El Salvador continues to be encouraged. Influence over El Salvador grows, as the government become increasingly dominated by Guatemalan-linked socialist parties (Turn One of Five). Tensions continue to rise with Honduras. The military modernizes, and continues to train with new weapons, including planes. Arms imports continue to flow in.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design to be rolled out by 1936, the Char B1 Tank. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,200,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 700,000 able bodied men in reserve. Two more Dunkerque-class battleships are laid down for construction as well as renovating the current French fleet. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology.

 * ​German Diplomacy: With the unprecedented good will between Paris, and Berlin over the past few years, Oskar von Hindenburg proposes a previously unthinkable thing to their western neighbor, a defence pact ,and an anti-Communist pact aimed at removing any and all Communist regimes in COntinuetal Europe should they arise.
 * French Dip: We agree to the defense pact between our two nations.
 * CCP: We attend the Seventh Comnitern and request aid against Japan. (I will make a separate page for this.)
 * Soviet Union: The situation inside the Soviet Union rises to a boiling point as the supporters of the NKVD and the military are increasingly tense with each other yet don't have the ability to act yet. Eventually, the tension reaches a critical point and the military supporters loyal to Mikhail Tukhachevsky decide to act first, convinced that if they wait much longer, they will be arrested and executed by Stalin and the NKVD. Military tanks and armored cars surround the Kremlin as Red Army forces storm the capital. While the situation remains tense for a while, it soon becomes apparent that the military forces are triumphant and Stalin and his cadre of supporters have been arrested for "crimes against the people and the revolution."

Noticing the Japanese invading China and deciding that this would be an opportune time to both exact revenge for the Xinjiang War and liberate more of the various Chinese peoples, the Soviet Union sends in several armies into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in order to carve out a section for themselves.
 * ​Mongolia: The coup in Moscow has sent tremors through the Mongolian government, and some of those that were fiercely loyal to Stalin flee while others stay to try to maintain their power. Soviet armies en route to invade China restore order in Mongolia and execute several of the Stalinist supporters for crimes against the people. As a result of the change, persecution of the Buddhists decreases slightly, although overall their situation is still not that great. Several cavalry and infantry divisions join their Soviet comrades to help liberate China.
 * Tuva: Much of what happens in Mongolia also happens in Tuva. The region is slightly unsettled with the coup, but life in the area soon returns to normal within a short period of time. A small Soviet force is installed to maintain order. A division of soldiers is provided to help assist the Soviets in their campaign.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: The provisional republic is largely unaffected by the coup, although it is soon affected by the war. The Republic does what it can to help the soldiers of the Soviet Union accomplish their objectives and some Uyghur nationalists and Communists join up with them in order to achieve national liberation.
 * Austria: We continue conscripting, to where we have close to 1,000,00 0 men and 300,00 0 in reserves. The VSS continues their operations, going down the Danube to infiltrate Fascist Germany through the south. More VSS though, are dedicated to national defense against the German Freikorps operatives. More agents are sent to Italy and Hungary. Others are sent to Yugoslavia to incite a rebellion in Slovenia. We improve the infrastructure of our nation this year by beginning a nation-wide highway project.
 * How does Austria have one million troops? It is unfathomable. You just got out of a civil war. The Communists would not be all powerful and supported by all and I truly think you are going too far.

 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. In 1935, the Danish Social-Democratic Communist Union is formed after a merger of the various Communistic and leftist wings, both moderate and hardline, in the country. They elect Ruth Berlau to head their new union in the Rigsdag. In a speech in September, Berlau sets out the ideological guidlines of the Union, stating that the DSDCU is an effective amalgamation of all left-wing Communist and social democratic parties, except for the party that Stauning is apart of. She also declares that neither Stauning's party nor the authoritarianism of Stalinist Communism are appropriate ways to govern. Berlau finishes her speech in declaring that she supports the further nationalization of all agencies and companies essential to humanity, such as health, education, security, labor, and food. As the end of the year comes, it becomes clear that the DSDCU is an effective compromise party, forming a bridge between the more moderate social-democrats and the hardline Communists. Regardless, the party makes no attempt to wrestle control of the government and has since shown to agree with most of the current socialistic policies that move the country forward.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.

 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to confuct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea. At the very same time, the opening ceremony of the Erdimir Port takes place. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 18 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * ​Turkish - German Diplomacy: The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk arrives at Berlin to meet with Chancellor Oskar von Hindenburg. During the meeting, Kemal requests the purchasal of German naval battleships and aircraft. Mustafa Kemal moreover requests the German Reich for the sale of German tanks and industrial development components in automotive. Finally, Kemal discusses possible German aid in advancing the Zafer Project which aims to completely secure Turkey from any possible Soviet aggression.
 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain.  The revolts in Gallcia grow out of control, with Franco and his army starting to spread throughout northern Spain. Spain asks France, Great Britian, and to a lesser extent the Soviet Union to help defend the Republic from the Nationalist Rebels. (Civil war has started people, pick your sides)  [Mil/Econ Turn]

 * British Raj: India continues to improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India.
 * Belgium: Military still developing the weapons which would equip them to soldiers in case of a war and helps.

 * West Paupa: Military and Infrastructure improve.
 * Argentina: The Navy begins to expand shipyards to accommodate the aircraft carrier. Hispano Argentina Fábrica de Automotores SA begins to design a new army truck and semiautomatic pistol called the Ballester-Molina. The company also begins to design a .50 caliber machine gun and a .30 caliber machine gun using basis from the M2 Browning and the M1919 machine guns. All the weapons will go into mass production in 1938, and be standard issue. The Air Force begins to design a new fighter plane, and the Navy collaborates alongside, using the final design modifying it to serve as a carrier based aircraft. The government continues public works projects including laying plumbing lines and electrical lines to the interior, increasing the overall quality of life for the citizens. Buenos Aries begins to look into a public transportation system involving trains, subways, and busing systems. It will be complete by 1945 for public access and use. The Navy acquires another two patrol boats. Infrastructure improves.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Austria, after an Austrian agent is found in Hungary. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Iran: Declare neutrality in the current conflict in the war in the Far East and in Europe. Focus on modernizing the nation infractructure and education increase. We ask any European states or America to help us quick start the oil industry in exchange of advantageous tariff on our oil. Effort to modernize the army into a regional power start very slowly with the acquisition of WW1 weapon.
 * New Zealand: We condemn the Japanese invasion of China, and propose foregein involvement, however, we stay neutral. Mobilization of army begins after the danger of the Far East and fears of invasion. Sheep trade is offered to British Raj, Iran, Poland, Canada and France. We again ask France if we can buy a bit of the South Province of New Caledonia. Guns are produced, as well as many tanks and airplanes and warships. Bill Parry is expected to win the 1938 General Election. Cows and chickens are popular in South Island, with many cows being ecologically milked and shipped to foreign countries and cities like Christchurch, while chickens are also shipped to other foreign countries. Vegetarianism grows, as more people feel sympathy for animals.
 * Iranian Dip: Accepts the trade agreement.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers(Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * South Africa: The South African government prepares to produce new military equipment and increase the budget based on the 1933 Defense White Paper published by the military. Based on the white paper's statements, the expansion of the navy, army air force, and the army in general, are absolute musts. The threat posed by the forces in Europe have necessitated the need for a larger military, and therefore the government authorizes the construction of three deticated aeroplane factories, additional armories, and a series of shipyards in Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, and East London. The military commissions the design of a new group of armored vehicles for the planned armored divisions that are to be formed from the previosu mobilization of men. Elsewhere, the construction of the Windhoek-Uppington is nearing completion. The town of Walvis Bay is expanded to serve as a naval base and port center in expectation of a population boom as the government sinks money into the development of South-West Africa. The government authorized the education of 100,000 young black African men and women to aid in the expansion of the economy in Transvaal, as the mining industry sees an increase in demand for workers as the industrialization of South-West Africa begins to pick up pace, and more construction materials are required. Though concerning many Afrikaners, the government assures them that it will not allow the natives to threaten white minority rule in the region. To that end, all blacks educated by the government are restricted to clerical jobs, freeing up white men to work in the military and the new businesses opening in Windhoek and Walvis Bay. A late census from 1935 reveals that South Africa has a total population of 9,498,152, while South-West Africa has a total population of 475,583 inhabitants.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. In 1935, the Danish Social-Democratic Communist Union is formed after a merger of the various Communistic and leftist wings, both moderate and hardline, in the country. They elect Ruth Berlau to head their new union in the Rigsdag. In a speech in September, Berlau sets out the ideological guidlines of the Union, stating that the DSDCU is an effective amalgamation of all left-wing Communist and social democratic parties, except for the party that Stauning is apart of. She also declares that neither Stauning's party nor the authoritarianism of Stalinist Communism are appropriate ways to govern. Berlau finishes her speech in declaring that she supports the further nationalization of all agencies and companies essential to humanity, such as health, education, security, labor, and food. As the end of 1935 comes, it becomes clear that the DSDCU is an effective compromise party, forming a bridge between the more moderate social-democrats and the hardline Communists. Regardless, the party makes no attempt to wrestle control of the government and has since shown to agree with most of the current socialistic policies that move the country forward. By 1936, the Rigsdag is primarily split between three parties: The Social Democrats, The DSDCU, and the Venstre (Liberal Conservatives; or leftists who still harbor conservative values). The DSDCU grows this year both in the Rigsdag and among the common people. Many simply call it the 'Democratic Communist Union', and its members 'Democratic Communists'. Ruth Berlau remains party leader and continues developing her views, mirroring the views of German Communist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, who was neither an avid Social Democratic nor a far-left Marxist-Leninist. Members of the government draw these same parallels, and could see Ruth Berlau becoming much more prominent in years to come. However, others, particularly those allied with Thorvald Stauning, acuse Berlau of being too radical and a threat to the fragile economic system of Denmark. In May, Berlau responds to these accusations by stating that socialism and capitalism do not mix, and a much greater welfare-esque economy is needed to support national stability. However, she stresses the fact that a free economy is vital to a democracy, but that free market is subject to unscrupulous businesspeople and predatory corporations and requires government regulation. The rest of the summer plays out peacefully, with the next general elections for Prime Minister being in 1939.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.
 * Poland: We build up military and infrastructure. We're getting more scared of Soviet Union than Germany. We seek an ally who is also against BOTH the Soviet Unon and Germany.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,300,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 750,000 able bodied men in reserve. Two more Dunkerque-class battleships are constructed and completed, also renovating the current French fleet. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic treaty offered to us by the Germans. France keeps a watchful eye on the events in Spain (Military turn).
 * 'Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly.
 * Soviet Union: The situation inside the Soviet Union rises to a boiling point as the supporters of the NKVD and the military are increasingly tense with each other yet don't have the ability to act yet. Eventually, the tension reaches a critical point and the military supporters loyal to Mikhail Tukhachevsky decide to act first, convinced that if they wait much longer, they will be arrested and executed by Stalin and the NKVD. Military tanks and armored cars surround the Kremlin as Red Army forces storm the capital. While the situation remains tense for a while, it soon becomes apparent that the military forces are triumphant and Stalin and his cadre of supporters have been arrested for "crimes against the people and the revolution." Soon after, Stalin is tried in a show trial and condemned for treason. Stalin is executed in a quiet affair and soon after the military purge the NKVD of most of Stalin's supporters. Some of Stalin's supporters like Molotov are arrested but for most of them they are only condemned or imprisoned. The Council of Soviets declares Mikhail Tukhachevsky to be the head chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and is promoted to Marshal soon after. With this newfound power, Tukhachevsky begins the industrialization of the Soviet military at a pace even faster than what Stalin had tried to do, eager to rapidly modernize the military in both technology and tactics. The idea of Deep Operations is further developed and officially adopted by the Soviet military machine, which also places more focus on industrialization and armored vehicles than just sheer manpower. True to Tukhachevsky's rather stern and bloody disposition and reputation, the military starts investigation and production of chemical weapons such as sarin, mustard, and tear gas, although the development and stockpiling of these weapons is a classified secret. To help support the military machine that Tukhachevsky is making, industrialization and infrastructure efforts are increased in order to fulfill any demands the military and state might have. Less skilled on the diplomatic front, Tukhachevsky agrees to the alliance with Austria and also decides to support the Spanish mining industry, seeing it as a potential front to expand Communism in southern Europe. Noticing the Japanese invading China and deciding that this would be an opportune time to both exact revenge for the Xinjiang War and liberate more of the various Chinese peoples, the Soviet Union sends in several armies into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in order to carve out a section for themselves.
 * ​Mongolia: The coup in Moscow has sent tremors through the Mongolian government, and some of those that were fiercely loyal to Stalin flee while others stay to try to maintain their power. Soviet armies en route to invade China restore order in Mongolia and execute several of the Stalinist supporters for crimes against the people. As a result of the change, persecution of the Buddhists decreases slightly, although overall their situation is still not that great. Several cavalry and infantry divisions join their Soviet comrades to help liberate China.
 * Tuva: Much of what happens in Mongolia also happens in Tuva. The region is slightly unsettled with the coup, but life in the area soon returns to normal within a short period of time. A small Soviet force is installed to maintain order. A division of soldiers is provided to help assist the Soviets in their campaign.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: The provisional republic is largely unaffected by the coup, although it is soon affected by the war. The Republic does what it can to help the soldiers of the Soviet Union accomplish their objectives and some Uyghur nationalists and Communists join up with them in order to achieve national liberation.
 *  Guatemala' s reforms continue, as the sat vestiges of the old economic system are wiped away. The formation of People's Communes in Honduras and El Salvador continues to be encouraged. Influence over El Salvador grows, as the government become increasingly dominated by Guatemalan-linked socialist parties (Turn One of Five). Tensions continue to rise with Honduras. The military modernizes, and continues to train with new weapons, including planes. Arms imports continue to flow in.
 * In the United States, construction of the Hoover Dam is completed. Tornadoes hit places and kill people and destroy things. There is minor naval buildup and air force stuff but America mostly focuses on the economic situation.U42 tumb.png
 * Austria: As more Freikorps agents are found, anger towards the Germans grows. Meanwhile, VSS agents continue espionage in Germany, Yugoslavia, Italy, and Hungary. The Reserve Korps is relocated to the Hungarian border due to their positioning on our border. The Volkspanzerkorps begins training maneuvers in the Alps and near Vienna. The government funds the Volkspanzer project, which is the project to produce Austrian tanks. This results in the Volkspanzer I, a small, three manned vehicle. There is a commander, and driver. The commander is in the turret, and the driver in the chassis. There is a 45mm gun on the tank. There is a small radio in the tank, next to the driver.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province.  Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. ' German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt DF 109, with full scale production to begin within a few months. The Panzer I is developed and testing of the new tank begins, several of these tanks are shipped to the volunteers aiding Chinese nationalists to test in actual combat scenarios. Development of the Panzer II begins as the Panzer I proved to have several shortcomings. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted  for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution.

The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucasus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black Sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea. At the very same time, the opening ceremony of the Erdimir Port takes place.

 * New Zealand: Placeholder Sheep trade continues with Australia and Iran, sheep trade is again offered to China, British Raj, and U.K. We offer help to Tasmanian Tigers, building reservations. Military is built up, after the danger in the Far East. [Mil/Econ]
 * Brazil: The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. The Brazilian navy receives its new modern battleship from italy after nearly two years under construction. It is named the Rio De Janeiro and is christened with Brazil's best naval crew, and a broadside of its batteries to commemorate its launch. Brazilian population hits 39.2 million with a sharp increase in immigration from Europe. Brazil begins to openly influence Venezuela managing another major landmark trade deal as Brazilian buisiness begins to entwine with Venezuelan Business. (Turn Three of Six) Brazilian overtures to Uruguay continue to bear fruit as a more positive opinion of Brazil in Uruguay begins to rise. The Brazilian constitution is finalized with Getulia Vargas to stay in power as the first president until 1940 in which the first elections will take place. This was the only way for the constitution to pass as Vargas was unwilling to give up his power and many were unwilling to see an inept leader take power. The Brazilian industrial base gaining heavy industry equipment and parts from multiple sources as well as blueprints to build more. Coal mining output in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina pick up immensely as the buildup of military, heavy lumber equipment, and the development of all other industries takes off from this. The First Few Steel mills open up in Rio Grande Do Sul as well employing thousands of people as the materials go to the various developments. With unexpected blueprints of the BF-109 and the Panzer I from Germany the Brazilian government immediately puts the BF-109 into production managing to churn out ten aircraft to test and get a handle on. The Panzer I, however, is produced in limited quantities and its design is evaluated within Brazilian design plans for a medium and heavy tanks at well. The further development of a combat doctrine continues with tanks with experimentation of it continuing on into fast attack and high speed attacks based on overwhelming defenses. The Brazilian effort to expand other industries is slowed. However, as much of Brazil's current industry is holding up previous market workload, military manufacturing, and now the expansion of heavy industry exponentially.
 * Second Spanish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Little progress has been made with Franco and his army in Galicia, spreading west to Navare. French re-inforcements are organized there, as well as a majority of the Spanish Army. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Indian Independence League: The Indian Independence League was founded in 1928 by Indian nationalists, and the organisation was located in various parts of South-East Asia and included Indian expatriates. In a series of meetings between the INA leaders and the Japanese in 1933, it was decided to cede the leadership of the IIL and the INA to Subhas Chandra Bose, since a number of the officers and troops who had returned to PoW camps, or had not volunteered in the first place, made it known that they would be willing to join the INA only on the condition that it was led by Bose. Bose had, at the start of the war in Europe, escaped from house arrest to make his way to Germany. Later, Bose had turned his attention to Southeast Asia. With its large overseas Indian population, it was recognized that the region was fertile ground for establishing an anti-colonial force to fight the Raj.
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V remains monarch at the start of this year, but he passes away. His successor and son, Edward, becomes King of Britain. In an interesting turn of events, he considers abdicating in order to marry Wallace Simpson. He decides that Britain needs a ruler now rather than a succession crisis and, in a fateful, if not heartbreaking move, he breaks off all public relations with the woman. Rumors arise almost immediately of a secret affair continuing. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. In October, a massive strike takes place as desperate workers struggle to make a living. Communist sentiment in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland grows. The Communist Party, which saw a 4% share of the vote in the General Election of 1935, becomes popular in the British colonies as well. Such growth of the party concerns Parliament greatly. The troops in York discover a Communist meeting spot and declare it to be an insurgency. All hotels on Scarcroft Street, namely the Wheatland Lodge, is raided by British troops. 76 people in total are arrested. Most are later found to be not guilty. This sparks an outrage amongst the Communist sympathizers and the citizens of York. Three days after the Scarcroft Raids, protests on Scarcroft and other streets in York erupt into full-blown riots. The rioting continues into next year. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. As the 1936 Olympics Games is held in Berlin in Germany, India competed the Olympics by winning one gold, only one is Field Hockey, who the Indian Men's Team defeated Germany in final match. Meanwhile, an Indian writer called Ravi Phunkar begins writing on its second book called The Sweetest Folk: Meet the Cy-Bugs.

 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team. We send a bunch of athletes to Germany for the Olympics.
 * Austrian Dip: We offer to sell 200 of our new Volkspanzer Is to Yugoslavia plus the production rights for nine millions dollars.
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We agree to the trade deal with Austria.
 * Austrian Dip: We also ask for an alliance between our two countries.
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We agree to the alliance.
 * Belgium: Belgian forces stand about 65,000. The weapons still develop while finishes, the nature for equipment. Industry is still good. But for purpose while something happens will took a helping situation. Some buildings are built up.
 * Monaco: The nation of Monaco again asks for a non aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. A few hundred volunteers from San Marino, as well as 500 men from France, are prepared for an attack against the Fascist government in San Marino. Supplies and weapons continue to be secretly shipped from Monaco to Rimini, to San Marino, where an underground network is established.
 * Australia: Continues developing the military. Trade with other nations goes smoothly. We request to open trade with Indonesia.
 * Greece: The draft of Greek men continues, with the conscripts undergoing training and with total troop count reaching 580,000. Training of pilots is increased and a total of 91 aircraft are in the aircraft. The navy continues constructing a number of cruisers. Some older buildings and other structures in Athens are replaced with newer, more modern constructs. Propaganda continues to be circulated. Metaxas becomes popular among the Greek people. Construction on the Metaxas Line continue, a line of fortifications and trenches on the northern border.
 * Japan: The war continues with great pace, and it becomes a testing ground for new bombers and weaponry. At home, people cheer on the athletes as they go to compete in Berlin. Continues developing the economy and infrastructure.
 * Korea: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Manchukuo: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * West Papua: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Poland:  As we are scared of the Soviets, we support Japan, and ask to improve relations with Japan. We improve military and infrastructure. We also place a bid for the 1938 World Cup, which we hope will bring countries together and improve our economy. Our bid is centerred around Krakow, Lodz, Vilnius, Lviv, Poznan, Bialystok, Lublin, and Warsaw. We happily send athletes to Berlin, and hope to improve our relations with Germany.
 * The enemy of your enemy is your friend except when you have no business with them.
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Austria, because of the rising Communist leadership. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Meta
 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly. We decrease the number of Men in Saudi Controlled Greater Yemen and again seek to repair relations with Yemen.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,300,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 750,000 able bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. France keeps a watchful eye on the events in Spain with it sending legionaries into the nation. We send athletes to the Olympics in Berlin(Military turn).
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers(Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * French Dip: We agree to an alliance with the Dutch
 * Nothing of note happens in the United States other than continued economic growth. The Triborough Bridge opens in New York and FDR is re-elected to a second term in office. FDR continues to pass New Deal laws and America builds new infrastructure stuff. We ask Brazil to not bother other countries too much. Minor naval buildup.
 * Republic of Colombia: Reformation efforts continue throughout the nation, reaching out with trade treaties to surrounding nations such as Venezuela, Brazil, and Chile. The military continues to be improved, with development on a new medium tank underway. A fierce wave of patriotism and nationalism rolls throughout the nation, promoted by national projects and artistic festivals. Meanwhile, national tempers flare as anti-Peru propoganda is spread throughout the nation in response to the Colombia-Peru One Year War four years ago.
 * South Africa: The government begins to draw up plans for new tank designs, seeking to get ahead of the issue of the army lacking proper armor forces. The training of the new military forces needed to fulfill the white paper suggestions is underway, with tens of thousands of young men for the army and navy. Several warships have been ordered to be constructed for the navy, and aircraft slowly begin to exit the factories as the infrastructure is put in place. In the city of Johannesburg, the nation's first tank factory is completed, though it has yet to take up any orders as the military has not come up with a tank design to be built. Elsewhere, in the civilian sector, the banks finance a series of industrial parks in the suburbs of Johannesburg and Durban, seeking to expand the industrial sector of South Africa. While it has the economic power and manpower to run the nation in a fashionable manner, South Africa remains too reliant on British exports for finished products. If something should happen to Great Britian, South Africa could find itself short on industrial goods. Therefore, the Prime Minister Smuts states that the agenda of the South African government will be to become more self-sufficient economically, industrially, and militarily, with plans to increase South African power projection and economic strength in the world. Critical to that goal will be to harness the entire might of South Africa's population. This means, however unsavory, the education of South African blacks. Though he expects great resistance to the idea by the white population, the prime minister admits that South Africa cannot grow as a nation if 90% of the population remains uneducated and disenfranchised. With a resurgent Brazil and increasingly imperialistic United States, Smuts admits that South Africa must increase itself foothold in Africa if it wishes to remain relevant in international affairs in the future.
 * South-West Africa: The Windhoek-Uppington railway is completed by the South African government, and settlers are railed into the city to begin the industrialization of the territory. The naval base at Walvis Bay is expanded in light of the expansion of the South African navy, and the construction of new homes and shops in the town are underway as plans to expand the local economy are drawn up by government contractors. Mineral exploration is the focus of the local government, with plans to employ the native population to work the mines underway. The lack of a major industrial center in South West Africa concerns many, as such an introduction into the area would help to grow the economy and the population by extension, needed to keep the wheel rolling once a permanent service sector is established for the territory. The government continues to provide economic incentives to those families willing to move into the region and help expand the local population for a period of five years of permanent residence.
 * Austria: We send athletes to the games in Germany. We continue producing Volkspanzer Is, their count coming up to 500 tanks. The Volkspanzer I in trials is very fast and maneuverable, its 45mm cannon being capable of penetrating most tanks of this age. However, its armor is relatively thin, and easily penetrated from all sides, despite the sloping. Designing for a Volkspanzer II begins. We step up mining industry in the Alps, providing much of the metal and other minerals needed to manufacture our tanks. We begin testing new engine designs, apart from the standard Motor-80 used in the Volkspanzer I.
 * Soviet Union: The situation inside the Soviet Union rises to a boiling point as the supporters of the NKVD and the military are increasingly tense with each other yet don't have the ability to act yet. Eventually, the tension reaches a critical point and the military supporters loyal to Mikhail Tukhachevsky decide to act first, convinced that if they wait much longer, they will be arrested and executed by Stalin and the NKVD. Military tanks and armored cars surround the Kremlin as Red Army forces storm the capital. While the situation remains tense for a while, it soon becomes apparent that the military forces are triumphant and Stalin and his cadre of supporters have been arrested for "crimes against the people and the revolution." Soon after, Stalin is tried in a show trial and condemned for treason. Stalin is executed in a quiet affair and soon after the military purge the NKVD of most of Stalin's supporters. Some of Stalin's supporters like Molotov are arrested but for most of them they are only condemned or imprisoned. The Council of Soviets declares Mikhail Tukhachevsky to be the head chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and is promoted to Marshal soon after. With this newfound power, Tukhachevsky begins the industrialization of the Soviet military at a pace even faster than what Stalin had tried to do, eager to rapidly modernize the military in both technology and tactics. The idea of Deep Operations is further developed and officially adopted by the Soviet military machine, which also places more focus on industrialization and armored vehicles than just sheer manpower. True to Tukhachevsky's rather stern and bloody disposition and reputation, the military starts investigation and production of chemical weapons such as sarin, mustard, and tear gas, although the development and stockpiling of these weapons is a classified secret. To help support the military machine that Tukhachevsky is making, industrialization and infrastructure efforts are increased in order to fulfill any demands the military and state might have. Less skilled on the diplomatic front, Tukhachevsky agrees to the alliance with Austria and also decides to support the Spanish mining industry, seeing it as a potential front to expand Communism in southern Europe. Noticing the Japanese invading China and deciding that this would be an opportune time to both exact revenge for the Xinjiang War and liberate more of the various Chinese peoples, the Soviet Union sends in several armies into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in order to carve out a section for themselves.
 * ​Mongolia: The coup in Moscow has sent tremors through the Mongolian government, and some of those that were fiercely loyal to Stalin flee while others stay to try to maintain their power. Soviet armies en route to invade China restore order in Mongolia and execute several of the Stalinist supporters for crimes against the people. As a result of the change, persecution of the Buddhists decreases slightly, although overall their situation is still not that great. Several cavalry and infantry divisions join their Soviet comrades to help liberate China.
 * Tuva: Much of what happens in Mongolia also happens in Tuva. The region is slightly unsettled with the coup, but life in the area soon returns to normal within a short period of time. A small Soviet force is installed to maintain order. A division of soldiers is provided to help assist the Soviets in their campaign.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: The provisional republic is largely unaffected by the coup, although it is soon affected by the war. The Republic does what it can to help the soldiers of the Soviet Union accomplish their objectives and some Uyghur nationalists and Communists join up with them in order to achieve national liberation.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. In 1935, the Danish Social-Democratic Communist Union is formed after a merger of the various Communistic and leftist wings, both moderate and hardline, in the country. They elect Ruth Berlau to head their new union in the Rigsdag. In a speech in September, Berlau sets out the ideological guidlines of the Union, stating that the DSDCU is an effective amalgamation of all left-wing Communist and social democratic parties, except for the party that Stauning is apart of. She also declares that neither Stauning's party nor the authoritarianism of Stalinist Communism are appropriate ways to govern. Berlau finishes her speech in declaring that she supports the further nationalization of all agencies and companies essential to humanity, such as health, education, security, labor, and food. As the end of 1935 comes, it becomes clear that the DSDCU is an effective compromise party, forming a bridge between the more moderate social-democrats and the hardline Communists. Regardless, the party makes no attempt to wrestle control of the government and has since shown to agree with most of the current socialistic policies that move the country forward. By 1936, the Rigsdag is primarily split between three parties: The Social Democrats, The DSDCU, and the Venstre (Liberal Conservatives; or leftists who still harbor conservative values). The DSDCU grows this year both in the Rigsdag and among the common people. Many simply call it the 'Democratic Communist Union', and its members 'Democratic Communists'. Ruth Berlau remains party leader and continues developing her views, mirroring the views of German Communist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, who was neither an avid Social Democratic nor a far-left Marxist-Leninist. Members of the government draw these same parallels, and could see Ruth Berlau becoming much more prominent in years to come. However, others, particularly those allied with Thorvald Stauning, acuse Berlau of being too radical and a threat to the fragile economic system of Denmark. In May, Berlau responds to these accusations by stating that socialism and capitalism do not mix, and a much greater welfare-esque economy is needed to support national stability. However, she stresses the fact that a free economy is vital to a democracy, but that free market is subject to unscrupulous businesspeople and predatory corporations and requires government regulation. The rest of the Summer plays out peacefully, with the next general elections for Prime Minister being in 1939. Stauning notices the rising situation between Germany and the Communist powers and decides to stay neutral for the time being.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt DF 109, with full scale production to begin within a few months. The Panzer I is developed and testing of the new tank begins, several of these tanks are shipped to the volunteers aiding Chinese nationalists to test in actual combat scenarios. Development of the Panzer II begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution.
 * Guatemala's reforms continue, as the sat vestiges of the old economic system are wiped away. The formation of People's Communes in Honduras and El Salvador continues to be encouraged. Influence over El Salvador grows, as the government become increasingly dominated by Guatemalan-linked socialist parties (Turn One of Five). Tensions continue to rise with Honduras. The military modernizes, and continues to train with new weapons, including planes. Arms imports continue to flow in.
 * Brazil Dip: We warn against any attempt to expand Communist influence in the Americas and will swiftly deal with the problem if this continues.

1937.0

 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea and the naval forces were expanded to include 12 Destroyers, 16 Frigates, 2 Cruisers and 28 gunboats and 10 torpedo boats. The naval headquarter was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 22 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Brazil: The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. Brazilian population hits 40.0 million with a sharp increase in immigration from Europe. Brazil begins to openly influence Venezuela managing another major landmark trade deal as Brazilian buisiness begins to entwine with Venezuelan Business. (Turn Four of Six) The Brazilian government manages to produce another 150 BF-109's as the aeronautics market takes off. However, production remains stalled out as other engines and designs for differing planes are looked at. However, during this period the developed and militarized aeronautics industry takes up civilian aircraft development too producing a decent number of aircraft for companies and travel use. The Brazilian research divisions manage to come up with designs for medium and heavy tanks with the use of a 2cm main gun with a machine gun addition as well for the medium tank and a 75 mm gun for the heavy tank. The tanks are scheduled to have prototypes built in a few months. The Brazilian navy expands its own forces as well with the hull for the new modern Battleship Rio Grande do Sul it is expected to be completed by 1940. The Navy, however, has expanded to nearly 27 (including French purchases) destroyers, 15 frigates, 12 cruisers (also including French), three battleships, and multiple other support craft. The Navy also currently has managed to convert suitable vessels into 15 troop carriers for the Marine corps. Brazil's industry hits a low productivity point as more heavy industry than profitable products are being developed. The production of this heavy industry, however, will expand Brazil into a further industrial power as the materials are assembled into manufactories. Brazil requests to buy five destroyers and two cruisers from the French navy. Brazil shows major signs of Communist unrest as unsurprisingly Communists and nationalists fight openly in the streets of Sao Paulo. Vargas uses the police to his advantage and puts this down with nearly 38 overall casualties between all parties including five officers. This concerns Vargas who believed the new constitution would prevent this and he Jails several major Communist figureheads. However, the new elections of the new Federal Senate and House of Deputies, shows the election of some Communists which quells a lot of the Communist issues in various states but still leaves the overarching issue. Vargas runs into a issue of banning the Communist party or allowing it knowing it may potentially cause a major revolt. The Great Depression still remains a pressing issue as now major debt begins to mount for only moderate economic gain and no end in sight to the Depression that plagues the whole planet. Regardless of marketed development in Brazil she still suffers from massive lack of money and production coming from her northern states. This has begun to show some difference as the settlement of cleared areas of forest increases with nearly 50,000 settlers having moved to the amazons since the program started in 1933. The Brazilian army guards many of these settlements to prevent any raids or unrest in the area but it seems many of the settlers remain nationalist oriented as they owe their entire renewed lives to the government. Brazil begins to make friendly overtures to the Peruvian government to aid them in their recovery out of the Depression citing the collective suffering of the South American continent due to disunity, low population, and lack of ability to co-operate. The Brazilian military recruitment quotas are met as good pay and the major expansions have led to major troop increases in quality and quantity. Brazilian arms manufacturer IMBEL (founded in 1934) shows a minor improvement in its productivity showing an ability to get out of Depression levels of inactivity. The arms manufacturer wins a government contract to produce many of Brazils new mainline rifles and machine guns producing the IM 95 a semi automatic rifle derived from the German gewehr 43. A bolt action rifle is also developed chambering a powerful 7.62mm bullet. However, this requires a new type of munitions factory to produce this round and will not be available in major supply for nearly six months putting more IM 95's in the hands of regular soldiers. The First domestically produced machine gun is also developed with .30 caliber being the predominant variant mimicing the US machine Guns. President Getulio Vargas issues the "Vargas Doctrine" a doctrine focused on keeping the peace in South America. This gets moderate support from many of the lower and middle classes and overwhelming support of the upper classes. This peace is intended to act as a force to show an attempt of Brazilian influence over Latin America. Various conflicts are looked at specifically the Peruvian, Colombian conflict
 * French Dip: We sell the destroyers and cruisers to the Brazilians.
 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. More Progress has been made against Franco and his army, pushing them back to Gallica.[Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude.


 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team. We thank auastria for having an allaince with us and for also giving us 200 tanks. We send aid to Austria attacking Czechoslovakia. Also we send a few hundred men.
 * French Dip: Heavy sanctions are place on Yugolslavia for joining Austria in their war.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt  BF 109 newer models start being developed as well, with full scale production to begin within a few months.  Production of the Panzer II and III begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings while development of a heavier tank the Panzer IV begins. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. german scientists begin to develop an early concept of applying jet tech to possible proto type planes (otl the germans did start experimenting with this tech at this time.)
 * ​German Dip: Germany agrees to an alliance with Poland but they demand the return of Danzig asa condition to any alliances or treaties stating that the city is a german majority state, germany also requests that talks open up for a return of german nationals living with Poland. 
 * ​Turkish - German Diplomacy: The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk arrives at Berlin to meet with Chancellor Oskar von Hindenburg. During the meeting, Kemal requests the purchasal of German naval battleships and aircraft. Mustafa Kemal moreover requests the German Reich for the sale of German tanks and industrial development components in automotive.
 * Poland: We agree.
 * Iranian Dip: we would like to ask German support to improve our military and offer a trade deal.
 * Greece: The draft of Greek men continues, with the conscripts undergoing training and with total troop count reaching 610,000. The army is highly combat ready. Training of pilots is increased and a total of 97 aircraft are in the Royal Hellenic Air Force. The navy continues constructing a number of cruisers, with ships at 39 total. Some older buildings and other structures in Athens are replaced with newer, more modern constructs. Propaganda continues to be circulated. The Metaxas Line in the north is nearly finished. King George thanks Metaxas for his work. Meanwhile, the Greek government asks if it can buy 4 Bf 109 fighters and 2 Panzer tanks from Germany.
 * Austria: We declare war on, and invade, Czechoslovakia, with Yugoslavia's help. The Volkspanzer IIs are created, and are a huge success in the military campaign. Their improved 35mm of armor, their better M-82 engine, along with a 76mm cannon results in a very dangerous armored fighting vehicle, capable of going 70 kmph, and being only 20 tons heavy.
 * German Dip: with the Austrian invasion of the Czechs Germany is on high alert, fearing the expansion of Communism Germany declares  war on Austria and their yugoslav allies, in the defence of the czechs. German troops and armor move into bohemia to help the czechs beat back the austrians and poland and france are requested to help deal with the Communist threat. 
 * French Dip: With the unlawful declaration of war by the Austrians and Yugoslavians on the Czehcs, we also declare war on Austria and Yugoslavia. We begin sending soldiers, armor, supplies, and ammunition into Czechoslovakia via Germany.
 * Dutch Dip: We send the supplies we can miss to the Germans and Czechs, to aid them against the Communists.
 * Poland: As we are allied with Germany and France, we also declare war on Austria and Yugoslavia. We also ask Germany and France to sign a pact with us stating that our three countries will defend ourselves against the expansion of Communism.
 * Poland: We improve military, and focus on anti-Communism. We are scared of Russia and Austria, and we seek other anti-Communist allies. We improve our infrastructure for easier transportation in case of war. We ask Germany for the technology for new models of tanks, and start building airplanes. Finally, we ask Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria and Italy for military alliance, as they have borders with Austria or Yugoslavia. We also condemn the Soviet invasion of China.
 * French Dip: We extend an alliance to the Polish.
 * Poland: We agree.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. French Armor Units: Renault R 35, FCM 36, Char D1, Char D2, Char B1, Char 2C,AMC 34, AMC 35, and the SOMUA S35. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,400,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 800,000 able bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. France keeps a watchful eye on the events in Spain with it sending legionaries into the nation. We condemn Austria's invasion of Czechoslovakia, and place trade sanctions on them and request our allies and trade partners do so too. We send supplies of ammunition, weaponry, and armor to help out the Czechs (Economy turn).
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We just were aiding an ally. We never invaded a nation. All we did was send supplies. That ain't bad.
 * Australia: Continues to improve and develop the military. We begin building roads and train stations across the country to help connect the people of Australia. We condem Austria's invasion of Czechoslovakia (only if the UK does) We request to open trade with several South American nations, mainly Chile and Peru. We request that the UK gives us control of Papua New Guinea.
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. Meanwhile, Ravi Phunkar completes the book The Sweetest Folk: Meet the Cy-Bugs and releases it.
 * Belgium: Belgium continues to improve its economy and military. Some Industries are already held up into economy grows and gases. With our faxes conitnues to grow up for some reason. The Government admits more buldings likely. Weapons is almost developed, but for our Belgian population, it looks that it slowly grows. Things will be improved, and the roads and highways also to be built up for travel.
 *  Switzerland' s military declares a general mobilization following Austria and Yugoslavia's invasion of the peaceful Czechs, increasing the standing military to 380,000 troops. Soldiers are sent to man the redoubt and are will push back any invasion attempt. Air-raid, gas mask and evacuation drills have now become part of everyday life. With the economy out of the depression conservative politicians begin to see support grow.
 * New Zealand: We continue trade with Australia and Iran, we again offer trade to China, British Raj, and U.K. We condemn the Japanese invasion of China, the Soviet invasion of China, and Austrian invasion of Czechoslovakia. Prime Minister Bill Parry is expected to win the 1938 General Election. [Mil/Econ turn].
 * Posting for QuebecanCanada.- LightningLynx89
 * United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! Edward VII remains king of Britain. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. Communist sentiment in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland grows. The Communist Party, which saw a 4% share of the vote in the General Election of 1935, becomes popular in the British colonies as well. Such growth of the party concerns Parliament greatly. The York Riots continue well into the year, with the British Army being called in to surpress the riots in March. They open fire on a number of protestors, martyring the protestors for the Communist cause. Such an action only causes the Communist party to rise. An estimated 14% of all prople harbor Communist opinions to some degree or another. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom. The trading partnership with the Netherlands is accepted.
 * Peru: Peru begins building defensive forts along the Colombian - Peruvian border due to a seemingly small defensive force along that border in particular. We also trains 35,000 able bodied men and added them to the Peruvian army which Is now at 75,000 men and women. We begin increasing relations with our neighboring country of Brazil and thank them for helping develop our nation. We would also like a trade contract with Brazil and are hopeful they accept. We develop our industry as well.
 * Argentina: We lay done the hull of our first carrier. The economy continues to recover. The first domestic tanks are produced. The government expands the port in Buenos Aries to accomodatee larger ships. Agriculture is expanded with farmers being taught ways to preserve the ground. The government opposes Communist influences.
 * Japan: The war in China now officially over, the land won is centralized. most notablly is the return of imperial China, under the Kangde Emperor. also created is Menjiang, a mongolian state. The city of Guangzhou is directly annexed into Japan. With these new territories, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is created. Parades go on for days, as a new era of Asian prosperity is ushered in. Military and Economy are worked on.
 * Imperial China: Military and economy are worked on.
 * Menjiang: Military and economy are worked on.
 * Korea: Military and economy are worked on.
 * West Papua: Military and economy are worked on.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Austria, after an Austrian agent is found in Hungary. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Poland: We ask for an alliance with Hungary, and suggest they declare war on Austria and Czechoslovakia.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under Marshall Tukhachevsky works hard to industrialize and improve both the nation and the military as a whole. Industry across the nation is encouraged regardless of whether it is by free or forced labor. The central planning committee and the military agree to construct some factories and munitions plants behind the Urals and Caucasus mountains in the event of possible invasion, and a few small ones are built up in the far east as well. The military, especially the officer corps, begins to study the theory of deep operations and learn how to apply it in most military scenarios. Other branches of the military like the aerial forces and the navy are also built up a bit, but more slowly. The navy in particular is the least built up, although all three main fleets see a slight increase in spending. The war breaking out in Europe forces the military to consider the possibility of war, and the actions of the Turks are not helping inspire Soviet confidence on a one front war. The military increases the number of soldiers under its total command from 800,000 to a full million in the preparation of such a war. The deployment of the forces is classified, although it is estimated that there are 500,000 in Eastern Europe, 250,000 in the Caucasus, 200,000 in Central Asia and 50,000 in the Far East. Basic border fortifications are established in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In domestic affairs, Marshall Tukhachevsky proceeds with the plan that was started under Stalin and uses ethnologists and statisticians to determine and evaluate all of the ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. Major groups are deliniated into seperate Soviet Republics. By the end of the year, the Soviet Union is transformed from four soviet republics into a little more than two dozen. The Soviet Union pledges friendship and alliance with Austria and continues to send them material support. While not entirely authorized by the Soviet government, some volunteers go to fight with their Austrian comrades. Increased support is also sent to the Chinese Communist Party.
 * Mongolia: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * Tuva: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: Not much changes here, although a provisional armed forces are established to patrol over the entire country and the provisional government sets up shop in Urumqi. The provisional government begins, with Soviet assistance, to ensure that the benefits of Communism are apparent and available to everyone.
 * Poland: Poland cuts off all ties with Russia, due to their support of Austria and Communism. We shut down the border, which we send some troops to, and end trade with the Soviets.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers (Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * Guatemala: Continues to focus on modernization, with the government running up a deficit with massive military expansion and infrastructure expansion. These projects help create jobs, which does alleviate some of the Depression's worst effects, however. The Trans-Guatemalan Railway is finally completed, although some 30,000 political dissidents have died in order to achieve this. The railway opens for business this year, offering a cheaper alternative to the Panama Canal, and injecting hard currency into the economy. Economic and social influence on El Salvador, through People's Committees organized in the countryside, begins to come to a head, and Guatemalan agents help incite massive protests for free elections and the legalization of the Communist Party there (Turn Four of Six). In the government, infighting between the moderate Social-Democratic faction and the extreme Revolutionary faction becomes increasingly damaging, as rival ministers seek to undercut one another. Seeking to confirm their imagined superiority, both parties agree to hold a "free" election next year.
 * In the United States, FDR is inaugurated on January 20th due to the ratification of the 20th Amendment. In his new term, the president proposes a plan to expand the Supreme Court. Also, the German airship Hindenburg arrives safely in New Jersey. In California, the Golden Gate Bridge opens to traffic. The US ends its occupation of Haiti although a small force remains there for reasons. The country's economy has improved significantly although there are still economic problems across the nation. Meanwhile, there is some minor buildup of the Navy and the Air Force.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. In 1935, the Danish Social-Democratic Communist Union is formed after a merger of the various Communistic and leftist wings, both moderate and hardline, in the country. They elect Ruth Berlau to head their new union in the Rigsdag. In a speech in September, Berlau sets out the ideological guidlines of the Union, stating that the DSDCU is an effective amalgamation of all left-wing Communist and social democratic parties, except for the party that Stauning is apart of. She also declares that neither Stauning's party nor the authoritarianism of Stalinist Communism are appropriate ways to govern. Berlau finishes her speech in declaring that she supports the further nationalization of all agencies and companies essential to humanity, such as health, education, security, labor, and food. As the end of 1935 comes, it becomes clear that the DSDCU is an effective compromise party, forming a bridge between the more moderate social-democrats and the hardline Communists. Regardless, the party makes no attempt to wrestle control of the government and has since shown to agree with most of the current socialistic policies that move the country forward. By 1936, the Rigsdag is primarily split between three parties: The Social Democrats, The DSDCU, and the Venstre (Liberal Conservatives; or leftists who still harbor conservative values). The DSDCU grows this year both in the Rigsdag and among the common people. Many simply call it the 'Democratic Communist Union', and its members 'Democratic Communists'. Ruth Berlau remains party leader and continues developing her views, mirroring the views of German Communist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, who was neither an avid Social Democratic nor a far-left Marxist-Leninist. Members of the government draw these same parallels, and could see Ruth Berlau becoming much more prominent in years to come. However, others, particularly those allied with Thorvald Stauning, acuse Berlau of being too radical and a threat to the fragile economic system of Denmark. In May, Berlau responds to these accusations by stating that socialism and capitalism do not mix, and a much greater welfare-esque economy is needed to support national stability. However, she stresses the fact that a free economy is vital to a democracy, but that free market is subject to unscrupulous businesspeople and predatory corporations and requires government regulation. The rest of the Summer plays out peacefully, with the next general elections for Prime Minister being in 1939. Stauning notices the rising situation between Germany and the Communist powers and decides to stay neutral for the time being. However, neutrality becomes a shaky option as war comes in 1937 between Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria. Austria itself is Communist, but not very far off from Denmark in terms of ideology and politics. Stauning continues to remain neutral, even as Ruth Berlau continues to publicly question his ability. The major of the Riksdag agree with her, seeing as how the Danish parliament is mostly Democratic-Communist or Social Democrats who are rapidly altering their stances. It is believed that by 1939, the Democratic Communists will hold an official majority in parliament and many point to Ruth Berlau as succeeding Stauning. Many call her the "New" Rosa Luxemburg. Seeing that his support his dropping quickly and many people grow unhappy with his prime ministership, Stauning allows an early election to be called for December of 1937.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.
 * Republic of Colombia: Economy and military are strengthened.
 * South Africa: The South African military is expanded in accordance with the plans to increase the number of troops fielded by the army from a pitiful 5353 active personnel to 72,525 personnel before the decade is out. Another 272,525 man are to be trained for any future mobilization required, and will serve as reserves for the next ten years. The navy, virtually non-existent with only six personnel total, is to be built from the ground up using the new and existing naval facilities typically reserved for the Royal Navy. Three cruiser, twelve destroyers, six minesweepers, and four submarines are ordered by the navy, and more than 12,000 men recruited into the ranks of the navy. Concerned with the expansion of the Brazilian navy and the French military, the South Africans make their navy's growth a priority. The military finally announces the production of its first armored combat vehicle, the Verwoester Md.I, a 25-ton tank with a 7.5 cm gun and a single inch of armor. The government orders 250 of the vehicles with plans to immediately put them into service once they have been completed. Additionally tank designs considered too heavy for the army's needs, are reconsidered as a potential tank destroyer design as military intelligence catches wind of bigger European tank designs currently underway. The education of black Africans continues with the protection of the government. Any whites who oppose the program too publicly are shut down as quickly as possible to prevent growing dissent to the idea. Fifty black men and women are selected by the government to attend the most prestigious universities in the country to aid in the management of large businesses in the nation. However, many white South Africans are keeping a close eye on the youth.
 * South-West Africa: The territory sees record growth in the economy as thousands of families move into the area to take advantage of the low taxes and the economic incentives provided by the government. The job market in the region has also seen much growth as businessmen moving into South-West Africa seek to expand their fortunes by acquiring the rights to the many mines abandoned by the Germans after World War I. Seeing an opprotunity to get ahead in society, many of the native Kavango and Herero peoples apply themselves to get into the industrial sector and mining industries springing up throughout the land.

 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía."

España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain.

 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * Thailand/Siam Diplomacy: Thailand accepts the Dutch East Indies' trade deal.
 *  ​' Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'' maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea and the naval forces were expanded to include 12 Destroyers, 16 frigates, two cruisers and 28 gunboats and 10 torpedo boats. The naval headquarter was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 22.4 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]'''
 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team. We declare war on Albania, buy sending tanks and troops into the nation.
 * Poland: We begin by improving our military. We send most of our military to the war with Austria, especially trying to defend Katowice and Krakow while trying to capture Ostrava. We also send some military units to our border with the USSR, in fear of an invasion from the major power that is Russia. We also improve our infrastructure, so as to transport our soldiers around the country quickly. Also, we hope to grow our cities, especially Wilno, Warsaw, Krakow, Lwow, and Lodz. We ask Germany and France to sign an agreement of an alliance against Communism, to be called the Wilno Pact. We also urge the countries of Italy, Hungary, Greece, and Bulgaria to declare war on Austria and Yugoslavia. 
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 *  Guatemala' s political unrest finally comes to an end, as the General Secretary is killed by a bomb this year, decapitating the radical faction. The Social Democrats easily triumph in the planned election, and their leader, the new General Secretary, issues the Chiantla Manifesto, calling for an end to "war Communism" and its replacement with limited market socialism. Economic reforms are put in place, which reduce government control and allow private ownership, as well as a heavily regulated market economy. He also proclaims that Guatemala must strengthen regional ties if the people of Guatemala are to survive the onslaught of the imperialist powers. Influence over El Salvador strengthens; it is expected that pro-Guatemlan parties will win the election next year and accept much closer ties with Guatemala (Turn Five of Six). Military buildup continues, while the economy modernizes and diversifies. Seeking investment, the new Guatemalan government requests a trade deal with both Brazil and Peru, seeking to strengthen regional cooperation.
 * Brazil Dip: We agree we also request that if you are to be communist then you elect communists rather than anything else.
 * New Zealand: We strongly condemn the Austrian invasion of Czechoslovakia and the Yugoslavian invasion of Albania, and say this can be a danger to East Europe, and Europe itself. Tanks and aircraft are built, with much of them patrolling the coasts of North Island. Trade continues with Australia and Iran, and we also offer trade with Poland and the Netherlands. [Mil/Eco turn]
 * Posting for QuebecanCanada, says chrome is not working - LightningLynx89
 * Greece: The Greek government is outraged with the Yugoslav invasion of Albania and begins secretly arming Albanian forces. However, the Greek government does not declare war on Yugoslavia, but transfers more troops to the Metaxas Line fortifications on the border with Yugoslavia. At least 220,000 troops are stationed there currently. Greece condemns Yugoslav actions. At the same time, the number of Greek military troops reaches 650,000, and will remain at that number for now. The Royal Hellenic Navy has 39 ships, the air force has 91 aircraft.
 * Yeah, no. Greece could barely field 300,000 in WW2 when Italy invaded. No way you can field 650,000 in peacetime while funding all this abroad stuff. -Feud
 * Actually, in WW2, Greece fielded around 440,000, and anyway, they had enough men to actually draft them, like I am now that Europe is starting to heat up in warfare. So yes, it is completely plausible. And we are not fully following the OTL anyway, otherwise there would be no point in doing any of this. —Alexander
 * Your not in a state of total war against an enemy that straight up wants to annex you... You really cant justify this to the Greek people especially with that disproportionate amount of your populaton serving in the military. Your fielding 1/9th of your population which would really harm any economic growth. -Feud
 * When a neighboring communist state (Yugo) invades a neighboring anti-communist state like us (Albania), I would say that the justification is there. Not to mention the other conflicts flaring up across Europe right now. You don't to be a political scientist to see that war is inevitable at this point. —Alexander
 * Brazil: With the Vargas Doctrine in effect Brazil actively increases friendly relations with every nation on the continent specifically closer nations of Argentina, the Guays, and Venezuela but also shows notable expansion of relations with Peru. The Brazilian industries manage to open a new collection of munitions factories producing all sorts of munitions, from tank shells to battleship shells all the way down to bombs and gun ammunition. They immediately gain contract work as the supply of ammunition is to be built up. The Arms manufacturers especially Imbel produce thousands of weapons to modernize the Brazilian Army and Marines which begins to show serious signs of becoming a drastically different force than the one just a few years ago with semi-automatic rifles produced domestically, and even some high powered bolt actions. The machine gun, however, remains in development and some minor post production as the finesse of making such a weapon haven't been perfected by Brazilian arms manufacturers yet. The Navy itself adds three new destroyers and two new frigates to the fleet putting them at 30 destroyers and 17 frigates, respectively. The Brazilian mechanized industry manages to produce a few prototypes of Brazils new tank the EE-T1 Medium tank. It boats the 75 mm gun and a machine gun as well as decent mobility and ability to be produced at the cost of some armor and crew survivability. The Brazilian Air Force adds another 20 BF-109's to te air force and also begins to develop its own heavy bomber for continental mission use. Some other plane designs are considered, specifically to develop for Carrier use. The Brazilian Marines do their first major training regiment in Southern Brazils coast in conjunction with the navy. The Communists once again go out in major revolt against the government and nationalists but Vargas this time sends in the police backed up by the Army who put down the center of Protest in Rio De Janeiro spectacularly. Vargas has more communists arrested and warns that if you are a communist and not affiliated with the Brazilian communist party, then you will be arrested and tried for Treason. This results in a minor flood of people to the Communist party of Brazil but leaves many abandoning it as the Brazilian government has made its position clear that the only communists taking power will be those of genuinly elected officials. Vargas usually tolerant of some corruption within his buisinessmen and upper echelons of government arrests many on the highest corruption charges. The Trial in the courts of Brazil is considered legal and the men are put in Jail. This is seen to some people as Vargas leading a personal war against corruption in the government using his newly found legitimate presidency to focus the political issues towards corruption. Brazilian influence in Venezuela continues to grow even more dynamically as some politicians begin to align more with Brazilian interests due to the Vargas Doctrine and its potential to bring Venezuela out of the Depression. (Turn Five of Six) Brazil in general suffers from the Depression but with many major recoveries and the unemployment decreasing its beleived the Depression in Brazil will be over by 1942-43. Designs for a Fleet Carrier for Brazil are presented to the Admiralty who while somewhat apprehensive at first begin to adopt a more positive stance towards it and see it as a logical step in Brazils development as an international power. The Battleship Rio Grande Do Sul continues its construction a little behind schedule as the usual process of building ships is hard as many have never tried to construct a ship of this size in the Brazilian shipyards before. The testament to Brazilian emergence, however, continues on and a larger shipyard is opened extremely close to this one to facilitate the construction of Carriers. Brazil openly accepts Peruvian and Guatemalan trade offers. The debt in Brazil, however, begins to show some serious issues as many believe the massive debt is not a sustainable model and should not be expanded as such. However, with lacking evidence and an economy literally rising from the ashes there is no-one able to challenge the spending of the government who largely has begun to see the profit of many of these investments come forth in some cases after years of development. The Brazilian population is expected to reach 40.6 million at the close of this year. The Brazilian navy takes its Battleship Rio de Janeiro and with two cruiser escorts, five destroyer escorts, and three frigate escorts plans its first major patrol route up to Panama and back. The Brazilian military develops its own variant of the 40 mm cannon for anti aircraft use its a mass production model not requiring many of the finesse elements of the swedish variant.
 * Argentinian Dip: We offer Brazil a military and trade alliance as well as a technology exchange. We request to purchase ten 40mm AA guns.
 * Brazilian Dip: Agreed.
 * France: France continues to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. French Armor Units: Renault R35, FCM 36, Char D1, Char D2, Char B1, Char 2C, AMC 34, AMC 35, and the SOMUA S35. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,450,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 850,000 able-bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. With the recent victory in 1936 of the Right and Centre parties over the Popular Front due to the recovering economy and increased and focus on the French military programs, and generally improving the French homefront. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. France keeps a watchful eye on the events in Spain with it sending legionaries into the nation. We condemn Austria's invasion of Czechoslovakia, and place trade sanctions on them and request our allies and trade partners do so too. We send supplies of ammunition, weaponry, and armor to help out the Czechs. We also send troops in to aid the Czechs. We also agree to the Netherlands extension for an alliance the same for the Polish. (Military turn, Redone Algo on Talk page, need a mod to check)
 * Indian Independence League: Subhas Chandra Bose asks the Japanese for aid in the event they take up arms against the British. He then arrives in India in a submarine from Japan, launching the plan for a possible revolution. Massive underground recruitment for the INA from the inhabitants of the Raj begins.
 * Australia becomes concerned over the Indian Independence League, and begins preparing for the possibility that we may have to aid the British Empire in keeping order in India. We secretly request that Japan not take any action to aid India in gaining independence, as it may harm its trade. We again ask the UK government for control of Papua New Guinea. 
 * Republic of Panamá: We drill infantry troops in how to use their guns once more and vow to protect the Panama Canal. We ask Colombia, Spain, Guatemala, Cuba, France, the British, the Americans, Mexico and Poland for a trade deal (our coconuts and fish for your wood products and/or industrial goods. We ask the USA, Spain and the UK for trade deals in fruit for arms. We will buy one civil variant Douglas DC2, one M2 light tank, ten M1 Combat cars off of the Americans, one Breguet 19 of France and one Vickers_six-Ton tank of the Brits if they agree with it. Pornography is banned and pornographers are banished from the realm. We swore again our loyalty to the USA on issues over the Panama Canal and get a bit concerned over Brazil's imperialism and America's isolationism. Our fishing fleet is expanded and new fish canning plants are built in Panama City and Colón. Logging, coconut plantations and fruit farming are slightly enhanced. We encourage corporate entrepreneurs and businessmen to emerge in trade.
 * Poland: Being mostly landlocked, it's tough for us to do regular trade. But we'd love to improve relations.
 * Guatemala: Agrees to trade.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt  BF 109 newer models start being developed as well, with full scale production to begin within a few months.  Production of the Panzer II and III begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings while development of a heavier tank the panzer IV begins. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. german scientists begin to develop an early concept of applying jet tech to possible proto type planes (otl the germans did start experimenting with this tech at this time.) German forces continue to defend the czech state, and an invasion of austrian proper is launched from bavaria.
 * What is going on here man? You are fighting the Austrians? On the same side as the French? This cannot stand. The High Court of Scraw declares these events stupid.
 * Belgium: It starts to be believed the war continuing with it. Belgian Forces still in sight for any invasions, but in case there are relations between them.
 * Switzerland's recovered economy and the unfolding world war sees voters elect in a conservative Free-Democrat/Christian Democrat government. The government elects Henri Guisan General and at Rütli he gives a speech to assembled officers saying "I decided to reunite you in this historic place, the symbolic ground of our independence, to explain the urgency of the situation, and to speak of you as a soldier to soldiers. We are at a turning point of our history. The survival of Switzerland is at stake". Troop numbers due to conscription peak at 402,000, which include nearly 10,000 women. The Swiss government condemns the invasion of Czechoslovakia and Albania and asks that the invading countries return to the status quo ante bellum. Switzerland, like Chile, further extends a hand to scientists, physicists, engineers and other skilled persons and their family facing persecution, to live in Switzerland.
 * Argentina: We manufacture another ten T-26 tanks, and keep designing an updated version with a 75mm cannon, one coaxial heavy machine gun, one anti-aircraft medium machine gun, and one top mounted medium machine gun. The military finishes design of a new heavy and medium machine guns The medium machine gun fires a .30 caliber round, and the heavy fires a .50 caliber round. We begin to purchase handguns from the private company, and they begin to collaborate with the government to finish designs of the new fighter plane. Work on the aircraft carrier continues with the hull being completed, and the engines in place. It runs off a combination of oil and coal engines with backup batteries onboard to power emergency system. The Navy lays down two Cervantes class destroyers. The economy continues to recover and improve. The government is concerned by developments in Europe, but votes not to intervene or support either side at the time. The government launches a new armored car armed with a heavy machine gun. Transportation continues to be improved with new roads being built to the interior, and public transportation in Buenos Aries is finished. We begin to design a 125 mm artillery gun, and produce chlorine gas, and mustard gas.
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. Meanwhile, Ravi Phunkar begins writing on its third book called The Sweetest Folk in India. He, along with other workers, also founded the Indian animation studio named Ravi Phunkar Productions and begins producing a series of short films featuring the Sweetest Folk characters. However, massive production of military progress is highly! The British Indian Army begins drilling infantry troops to highly military ranks and currently reaches about 600,000 military troops. Tanks begins building for first time in Indian history, the British Raj buys some more tanks from United Kingdom.
 * República de Chile: Chile holds national elections with the Radical Party winning a landslide victory. Politician and statesman Jaun Saras is elected President. Almost immediently after taking office, President Saras initiates a modernization plan for national infrastructure as well as a new focus in rocketry and propulsion science. Chile opens its borders to any brilliant minds fleeing any persecution in Europe. The government otherwise remains neutral to Europe. The President, in conjunction with General Ramos Alverez, drafts up plans for an updated military, including manufacturing facilities and armament factories over the coming years. The Ministry of Agriculture is founded to increase food production, and eventual export of goods
 * Argentinian Dip: We offer Chile a trade and military pact.
 * Irish Free State: The Irish Free State comes to an end on the 29th December and the Republic is established without the Queen as head of state. The Blueshirts, which were banned in 1932 are re-legalized as Eoin O'Duffy takes his claim to the High Court of the new country on 13th September, claiming it as a suppression of freedom of Speech. Although it remains illegal after court ruleing, mass protests from the pro-fascist Blueshirt Supporters, which have gained thousands in the numbers since the group was banned. Medium sized demonstrations take place in Dublin, Cork and Limerick. In fear of a fascist uprising, Eamon de Valera orders for the arrest of O'Duffy and over 100 of his followers. Eoin O'Duffy calls upon the support of Spain and Italy for his release. Although neither government has time to respond as mass Rioting, organized by the Former Blueshirt and the every increasing Fascist sentiment, mixed with an Anti-British Attitude see over 1000 rioting in Phibsboro, Dublin calling for the relase of O'Duffy, and claiming it as silencing of the Political opposition. In fear of a drop of support for Finna Fail, De Valera agrees to let O'Duffy and all but 16 of his followers. O'Duffy procedes to become leader of the party he founded in 1933, The National Corporate Party, Although he renames it the Fascist Corporate Party of Ireland, or the FCPI for short. He plans to run the party for the first Irish Republic General Election in 1938. His party begins to grab the attention of the Irish Media, due to his criticisms of Eamon de Valera, Fine Gael, Fine Gael and the lack of intrest in Trade worldwide, the current economic policy and the lack of effort to modernize the country to compete with English wool trade and manufacturing. He also hold a conference in Sligo, stating that Rural Ireland is unfairly neglected, many farmers begin to favour his party due to this. As many Jews flee to Urban Ireland from Mainland Europe in fear of persecution, anti-Semite sentiment grows, especially in urban and working class areas. Little happens Millitarily or Economicly.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly. We decrease the number of Men in Saudi Controlled Greater Yemen and again seek to repair relations with Yemen.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We are glad Germany have formed an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Peru: Peru's development of forts along the Colombian - Peruvian border is well under way. We send 15,000 men up to the border to guard it. We further increase relations with Brazil. We increase development of infrastructure and begin construction of a weapons factory.
 * In the United States, the Senate votes down the President's proposal to add more justices to the Supreme Court. There is other stuff about the economy and the military and such. Otherwise nothing really happens. The invasion of Czechoslovakia is condemned or whatever.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under Marshall Tukhachevsky works hard to industrialize and improve both the nation and the military as a whole. Industry across the nation is encouraged regardless of whether it is by free or forced labor. The central planning committee and the military agree to construct some factories and munitions plants behind the Urals and Caucasus mountains in the event of possible invasion, and a few small ones are built up in the far east as well. The military, especially the officer corps, begins to study the theory of deep operations and learn how to apply it in most military scenarios. Other branches of the military like the aerial forces and the navy are also built up a bit, but more slowly. The navy in particular is the least built up, although all three main fleets see a slight increase in spending. The war breaking out in Europe forces the military to consider the possibility of war, and the actions of the Turks are not helping inspire Soviet confidence on a one front war. The military increases the number of soldiers under its total command from 800,000 to a full million in the preparation of such a war. The deployment of the forces is classified, although it is estimated that there are 500,000 in Eastern Europe, 250,000 in the Caucasus, 200,000 in Central Asia and 50,000 in the Far East. Basic border fortifications are established in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In domestic affairs, Marshall Tukhachevsky proceeds with the plan that was started under Stalin and uses ethnologists and statisticians to determine and evaluate all of the ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. Major groups are deliniated into seperate Soviet Republics. By the end of the year, the Soviet Union is transformed from four soviet republics into a little more than two dozen. The Soviet Union pledges friendship and alliance with Austria and continues to send them material support. While not entirely authorized by the Soviet government, some volunteers go to fight with their Austrian comrades. Increased support is also sent to the Chinese Communist Party.
 * Mongolia: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * Tuva: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: Not much changes here, although a provisional armed forces are established to patrol over the entire country and the provisional government sets up shop in Urumqi. The provisional government begins, with Soviet assistance, to ensure that the benefits of Communism are apparent and available to everyone.
 * Austria: Hans Markert flees the nation in a small passenger plane, going to the Soviet Union. The General Assembly assembles in Vienna to vote on whether to call a peace or not. Austrian forces are on the retreat on all fronts. The Volkspanzer II is unveiled and production begins, but the factory producing them is soon overrun and only around 10 are made and shipped to Vienna. The 10 shipped will be involved in the defense of the city, as all troops converge on VIenna for a final defense. We beg the Soviet Union to come into the war.
 * Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. In 1935, the Danish Social-Democratic Communist Union is formed after a merger of the various Communistic and leftist wings, both moderate and hardline, in the country. They elect Ruth Berlau to head their new union in the Rigsdag. In a speech in September, Berlau sets out the ideological guidlines of the Union, stating that the DSDCU is an effective amalgamation of all left-wing Communist and social democratic parties, except for the party that Stauning is apart of. She also declares that neither Stauning's party nor the authoritarianism of Stalinist Communism are appropriate ways to govern. Berlau finishes her speech in declaring that she supports the further nationalization of all agencies and companies essential to humanity, such as health, education, security, labor, and food. As the end of 1935 comes, it becomes clear that the DSDCU is an effective compromise party, forming a bridge between the more moderate social-democrats and the hardline Communists. Regardless, the party makes no attempt to wrestle control of the government and has since shown to agree with most of the current socialistic policies that move the country forward. By 1936, the Rigsdag is primarily split between three parties: The Social Democrats, The DSDCU, and the Venstre (Liberal Conservatives; or leftists who still harbor conservative values). The DSDCU grows this year both in the Rigsdag and among the common people. Many simply call it the 'Democratic Communist Union', and its members 'Democratic Communists'. Ruth Berlau remains party leader and continues developing her views, mirroring the views of German Communist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, who was neither an avid Social Democratic nor a far-left Marxist-Leninist. Members of the government draw these same parallels, and could see Ruth Berlau becoming much more prominent in years to come. However, others, particularly those allied with Thorvald Stauning, acuse Berlau of being too radical and a threat to the fragile economic system of Denmark. In May, Berlau responds to these accusations by stating that socialism and capitalism do not mix, and a much greater welfare-esque economy is needed to support national stability. However, she stresses the fact that a free economy is vital to a democracy, but that free market is subject to unscrupulous businesspeople and predatory corporations and requires government regulation. The rest of the Summer plays out peacefully, with the next general elections for Prime Minister being in 1939. Stauning notices the rising situation between Germany and the Communist powers and decides to stay neutral for the time being. However, neutrality becomes a shaky option as war comes in 1937 between Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria. Austria itself is Communist, but not very far off from Denmark in terms of ideology and politics. Stauning continues to remain neutral, even as Ruth Berlau continues to publicly question his ability. The major of the Riksdag agree with her, seeing as how the Danish parliament is mostly Democratic-Communist or Social Democrats who are rapidly altering their stances. It is believed that by 1939, the Democratic Communists will hold an official majority in parliament and many point to Ruth Berlau as succeeding Stauning. Many call her the "New" Rosa Luxemburg. General elections are held in December of 1937, and Ruth Berlau is elected prime minister and the DUs become the dominant party. Military aid and 45,000 men are sent to Austria to help fight in the war.
 * Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.
 * Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland.

'''OK, so a bit of an annoucnment here. The German-French Alliance has been retconed. The return of the Saar Basin and remilitarization of the Rhineland are allowed to stay, and the Two nations may have a Non-Agression Pact, but the alliance has been deemed implausable after dileberation. I have spoken to NK, who knows and is fine with this. ~Edge'''
 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. The Nationalist Rebellion is crushed, with Spanish troops mopping up patches of resistance in Gallcia.[Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 5% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea and the naval forces were expanded to include 12 Destroyers, 16 frigates, two cruisers and 28 gunboats and 10 torpedo boats. The naval headquarter was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 17.1 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * ​Turkish - German Diplomacy: Germany is requested for the purchasal of industrial equipment and the sale of Panzer I and Panzer II to Turkey.
 * Turkish - French Diplomacy: Turkey requests the French authorities of the Mandate of Syria to resolve the Hatay Province Controversy.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * República de Chile:President Saras continues his new infrastructure programs, unveiling the new Pan Chilean Railway, a new rail system that will span the entire length of Chile, its estimated that thousands of long term jobs will be added to the economy with this bold proposal helping with the stagnant economy of the past decade. Chile opens its borders to any brilliant minds fleeing any persecution in Europe. The government otherwise remains neutral to Europe. The Military Revitalization Act is passed in Congress this year, allocating a further 15% of the yearly budget to defense projects. President Saras refused comment on his nation's decision to leave the League of Nations, long considered to be an inneffective organization, with low popularity in Chile. Chile accepts the Argentine offer of trade and military alliances. Brazil is approached, in hopes Chile can purchase much needed heavy equipment as well as tanks and other weapons for the new defense act. Communist Party leader, Grezna Peres is arrested after holding an illegal rally that became violent. Congress passes the Anti-Marxism Extremism Act of 1938, banning communism but allowing a democratically elected Socialist Party to run in elections. Saras also oversees the expansion of naval ports on the Chilean coasts. Valparaíso, Chile, becomes a hot spot for cultural movers and shakers, with a new music and cinema industry taking shape.
 * Brazil Dip: We agree to sell equipment to Chile particularly our new EE-T1 Medium tanks.
 * Republic of Ireland:With Support for Fine Gael at an all time low and Finna Fail's reputation tattered among many, along with various economic and modernization promises of the FCPI, the general election leads to the Fascist Corporate Party of Ireland receiving 67% of seats in the Dail. Effectively it is in charge of the entire politics of the nation due to its overwhelming majority. On February 3rd Eamon de Valera is found dead at his house after an apparent burglary. Although many remain certain it was a act of political silencing. Vast efforts are undertaken to modernize the country, especially its ports and Dublin Airport is expanded.The army is expanded from 8000 full time men to 15,000. Corporation Incentives are introduced and business taxes are abolished to promote foreign investment. A crackdown on Socialism and Communism begins. These are all apart of the three year plan to modernize the country. The FCPI doesn't ban all political parties, only Finna Fail as it is viewed as the only threat currently. Various Finna Fail politicians are put on trial for corruption as well as claims by the FCPI that the banning of the Blueshirts was an attempt at political policing.   We seek to open an embassy in The German Reich as well as the Holy See.
 * Poland: With Austria almost completely defeated, our focus turns toward the Soviets. We improve our military, with our new soldiers going to the border with Russia. We withdraw one quarter of our soldiers from the Austro-Czechoslovakian War and send them to Russia. To speed this move up, we improve infrastructure. We have not declared war on the USSR, but are prepared. Just as a heads up, we will declare war on them if they join on Austria's side, and we expect our allies of France and Germany to as well. We ask Austria and Yugoslavia for a peace treaty with our nation, which should last ten years (Treaty of Krakow). We ask Austrian and Yugoslav officials to come to Krakow to sign this. We can discuss the terms later, so long as no other countries enter the war. We hope that France and Germany can also agree to peace before the Soviet Union joins the war. Internally, a communist riot is held in Lublin. People in the city begin to go in favor of communism, lead by Radzimierz Gniewek. Gniewek and his military leader, Nikodem Szewc, promise to overthrow the government and make a new Marxist government with Lublin as the capitol. We send another quarter of our troops in Austria to Lublin to put down these revolts. We want to stop communism at all costs. We also ask for help from Germany and France in defeating this communist movement.
 * German Dip: Germany refuses to sign any treaties that Berlin doesn't dictate. However, we invite Poland to take part in talks in Berlin.
 * Iran: continue to modernize the nation with great progress being achieve. We ask for a trade agreement with Germany. Oil is extract faster than previous year. We take precaution in case of a Polish-Soviet war so that the conflict do not come in Iran. We start to consider the creation of a Kurdish autonomous province and ask the Kurdish representative to come to Tehran.
 * Turkish - Irani Diplomacy: Iran is requested by Turkey to sign a trade agreement with the Turkish authorities. The agreement involves the sale of cheaper oil and gas reserves from Iran to Turkey in exchange for the Turkish authorities allowing Iran to utilise Turkish Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Ports to trade with Europe.
 * German Dip: Germany agrees to a trade agreement.
 * Indian Independence League: Underground mass recruitment from the Raj populace continues. Bose attempts to contact Italy, as well as Japan, to broker a deal for the purchase much needed heavy equipment as well as tanks and other weapons in preparation for an uprising. Revolutionary government machinery starts to take shape.
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues to climb out of the Great Depression with new found vigour as her employment begins to soar and unemployment lowers intensely. Surprisingly enough hardline communists who are well armed attempt one last major uprising against the Government using their best men. However a party member not wishing to see the entirety of communism wiped from Brazil leaks their plans to the government. Vargas enraged has a trap staged for the Communists and when they move into Rio De Janeiro to seize government buildings they run into not just police but an overwhelming force of nearly 6 Infantry divisions and two of Brazils newly minted Armored Divisions. The Communists obviously outgunned are slaughtered outside the city and the survivors are imprisoned to be tried for Treason. Regardless of this hostile intent by communists the legitimate communist party having gained legitimacy through the elections maintains a good popularity rating and suffers no ill will or issues from this. Vargas personally sees the hull laid down for the first of Brazils new Fleet Carriers, the Dom Pedro II. It is to be completed within 2 to 3 years with the hopeful date of Completion in 1940. The Brazilian navy looks to develop aircraft for this new carriers looking to get a full spectrum of Fighters, Dive Bombers, and Torpedo Bombers. The Brazilian Army has notable expansions as infantry divisions are cut to be replaced with Armored and new Mechanized Divisions as well. The Brazilian army stands at a solid 320,000 with most divisions standing at about 15,000 troops with some variations in troop strength. The Brazilian investments into resources and industrial development pays off as much of the major debt incurred begins to pay itself off. Vargas feels bold enough to declare that the Great Depression in Brazil is nearly over and that the nations hard word has paid off. The Brazilian navy shows only 5 new additions, 3 supply ships and 2 more frigates. Brazil with her burgeoning arms industry sees a demand from private people too and begins looking into selling civilians arms as well. The purchases from Chile further validate Brazils new industry as something to stay and developer of quality arms. The Factories however are hard pressed to meet quotas and either new factories are built or existing ones expanded to meet demand. The Brazilian Air force develops its own domestic cargo planes as well as some close air support bombers as well. The Long Range bomber program enters the prototype phase and will enter into production in 1939. Venezuela is fully influenced towards Brazilian government to some protest from her people. (6 of 6) The Brazilian politicians begin to kick up the first ever campaign for Brazils new presidency. Vargas himself declines to run citing his failing health due to the stresses of essentially re-building Brazil from the ground up. He does however support Nereu Ramos, who it is becomming apparent will be running against opponent Carloz Luz. A Minor liberal candidate and minor communist candidate are brought into the race as well but it looks as if neither will get a significant support base. The Brazilian navy recovers its fleet after its first Patrol and begins to plan a more powerful patrol force forming three seperate Battlegroups centered around all three battleships which will all consist of 5 destroyers, 3 frigates, 2 cruisers and a Battleships and their supply ships. The Brazilian navy however does begin looking to build and develop submarines for its own uses. Brazilian scientists begins theoretical developments into the nuclear field in Sao Paulo (happened OTL) Brazil in an effort to include Colombia and keep down any war rhetoric, offers to increase ties between South American nations and accepts a previous trade treaty and invites the Colombian president to enter talks about entering into a peaceful co-operation the Brazilian government is attempting to foster between all nations on the continent. (Pita respond, plz)
 * Venezuela: In a bloodless coup the Venezuelan president stands down and is replaced by a Interim president who was one of the leading senate members to align heavily with Brazil. The population, however, is none the wiser as the President was unable to gather enough support to hold onto the office with no challengers. the Venezuelan people begin to show a somewhat less fearful opinion of Brazil as their non threatening attitude and rather benevolent nature as of late have really warmed and opened up relations. The Venezuelan interim government schedules elections for 1940 allowing for one year to organize a campaign and another full year to campaign for the presidency. So far no takers have popped up. As of 1935 Venezuela has a population of 3.5 million and many of which are rather fearful of national collapse. The Venezuelan people are extremely fearful of an aggressive Colombia as their propoganda against Peru is well known and rather heavy handed attitude recently. The Venezuelan military stands at a paltry 75,000 and shows no signs of increasing. The nation itself looks to gain investment for its Oil industry and begins to turn to Brazilian buisinessmen and creditors for development. The Venezuelans sign an alliance with Brazil in order to maintain their sovereignty.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers (Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. 
 * Belgium: No case of the Soviets, but we're worried. The economy does look to improve for the initial faxes and work. Military expands the ground and Belgian Forces are about 70,000. To make further steps, it is unusual situation to be made. Brussels still keep aiming for more buildings up ahead.

France: France continues to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. French Armor Units: Renault R35, FCM 36, Char D1, Char D2, Char B1, Char 2C, AMC 34, AMC 35, and the SOMUA S35. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,500,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 900,000 able-bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, help recover the economy, and its infrastructure. '''With the recent victory in 1936 of the Right and Centre parties over the Popular Front due to the recovering economy and increased and focus on the French military programs, and generally improving the French home front. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. France keeps a watchful eye on the events in Spain with it sending legionaries into the nation. With the defeat of the Austrian invasion and being able to test out troops and armor to a complete success, we begin to pull troops slowly out of the region. We consider attending the Treaty of Krakow. However we continue to place sanctions on the Yugoslavians for their invasion of Albania, we also send supplies to the Albanians (Economy turn)'''
 * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team. We are happy that we won the war against Albania.
 * French Dip: We demand the immediate release and freeing of Albania, as you had just recently lose a war. You are in no position for further expansion in the region.
 *  Switzerland' s government declares support for the alliance of countries fighting any continued foreign invasion of Czechoslovakia and in secret, at least, is willing to provide more material support. Despite this the country would like to maintain a war-free course for the most part. Switzerland sends 20 soldiers to Liechtenstein for security against potential Austrian incursions. The Swiss government declares their support for Albanian sovereignty.
 * Greater East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere: GEACOPS officially forms, with emperor Hirohito as its ceremonial head and a new parliment elected.
 * Japan: The GEACOPS places its capital in Tokyo. The military undergoes revision for tactical blunders in china that prevented siezing more territory. Military and economy are worked on
 * Imperial China: The government relocates to Beijing. Parades are held for the restoration of the monarchy (at least for that part of china), the first since the Qing were overthrown in 1912. Military and economy are worked on
 * Korea: The governor general steps down for unknown reasons. Military and eocnomy are worked on
 * Menjiang: Military and economy are worked on.
 * West Papua: West Papua becomes the site of a massive naval and aerial buildup of GEACOPS military. Military and economy are worked on.
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. However, massive production of military progress is highly! The British Indian Army continues drilling infantry troops to highly military ranks and currently reaches about 610,000 military troops. The British Raj buys some more tanks from United Kingdom. Meanwhile, Ravi Phunkar completes the book The Sweetest Folk in India and releases it. At Ravi Phunkar Productions, after about 30 short films are made and showed up in India for first time, work now begun producing India's first feature animated film named The Tiger, the Brahmin and the Jackal and is about to released to theaters in India on 29 August 1939 and after 29 August 1939 worldwide.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We are glad Germany have formed an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. (Economy and infrastructure turn)

Liechtenstein: The nation of Liechtenstein asks for a defensive pact with the nations of San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, and Luxembourg, in an effort to ensure our nation's security and prosperity. We offer Princess Maria Theresia von Liechtenstein as a suitable bride to Jean von Bourbon-Parma of Luxembourg. Biebrich Palace and Weilburg Castle are purchased. Our numerous estates and territories across Poland, Silesia, Bohemia, and Austria are expanded. A military force is created to police our nation, consisting of 300 active personnel.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry starts picking up massively as remilitarized production nears completion. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt  BF 109 newer models start being developed as well, with full scale production to begin within a few months.  Production of the Panzer II and III begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings while development of a heavier tank the panzer IV begins. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. german scientists begin to develop an early concept of applying jet tech to possible proto type planes (otl the germans did start experimenting with this tech at this time.) German forces continue to defend the czech state, and an invasion of austrian proper is launched from bavaria.
 * Peru: We have successfully built our first arms factory and it is able to employ over 5,000 people. We build infrastructure in our capital. We begin influencing our neighboring country of Ecuador and begin improving relations with them as well. We recruit and extra 20,000 men raising our total force to 95,000 and station another 5,000 men on the Colombian-Peruvian border. We do maintainence on our existing forts and begin improving on them.
 * Argentinian Dip: We offer Peru a defense pact and trade agreement.
 * Argentina: We launch another two destroyers and lay down two more. The Navy also lays down a resupply tanker and continues work on the aircraft carrier. The ship is armed with ten 40 mm AA guns, 38 .50 caliber machine guns, 20 .30 caliber point defense machine guns, and ten torpedo tubes. The last parts needed for the ship are the radar system, fire control, and crew quarters. The economy continues to slowly recover. Roads are expanded, and a highway system is prepared to be laid down to ease transportation. The government is concerned by events in Europe, but does not intervene. The Argentinean Communist Party protests Brazil's crackdown, but the national government does nothing, pointing out that the Brazilian Communists attacked the government first. Some are concerned about the growing Brazilian hegemon on the continent, and a back up capital is designated. Another 10,000 men are brought into the Army, 2,000 into the Navy, and 700 more into the Air Force. The Army continues work on the artillery gun, and new tank. They also receive another 15 light tanks.
 * Republic of Colombia: President Pumarejo continues the reform process, granting tax breaks for efficient factories and companies that produce military equipment. Large scale mining begins in earnest, with huge swaths of land nationalized by the government for efficient extraction of oil, emeralds, and other valuable materials. The government-backed Colombian Petroleum Enterprise (Ecopetrol) is established, and drilling begins in earnest. Furthermore, coffee production increases, with main sources of export being the United States and Europe
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under Marshall Tukhachevsky works hard to industrialize and improve both the nation and the military as a whole. Industry across the nation is encouraged regardless of whether it is by free or forced labor. The central planning committee and the military agree to construct some factories and munitions plants behind the Urals and Caucasus mountains in the event of possible invasion, and a few small ones are built up in the far east as well. The military, especially the officer corps, begins to study the theory of deep operations and learn how to apply it in most military scenarios. Other branches of the military like the aerial forces and the navy are also built up a bit, but more slowly. The navy in particular is the least built up, although all three main fleets see a slight increase in spending. The war breaking out in Europe forces the military to consider the possibility of war, and the actions of the Turks are not helping inspire Soviet confidence on a one front war. The military increases the number of soldiers under its total command from 800,000 to a full million in the preparation of such a war. The deployment of the forces is classified, although it is estimated that there are 500,000 in Eastern Europe, 250,000 in the Caucasus, 200,000 in Central Asia and 50,000 in the Far East. Basic border fortifications are established in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In domestic affairs, Marshall Tukhachevsky proceeds with the plan that was started under Stalin and uses ethnologists and statisticians to determine and evaluate all of the ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. Major groups are deliniated into seperate Soviet Republics. By the end of the year, the Soviet Union is transformed from four soviet republics into a little more than two dozen. The Soviet Union pledges friendship and alliance with Austria and continues to send them material support. While not entirely authorized by the Soviet government, some volunteers go to fight with their Austrian comrades. Increased support is also sent to the Chinese Communist Party. The Soviet government sees the Lublin rebellion as an opportunity, and begins to support the communist forces there with medical support, weapons, and ammunition.
 * Mongolia: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * Tuva: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: Not much changes here, although a provisional armed forces are established to patrol over the entire country and the provisional government sets up shop in Urumqi. The provisional government begins, with Soviet assistance, to ensure that the benefits of Communism are apparent and available to everyone.
 * Austria:We finish setting up defenses in Vienna. The Volkspanzer IIs and Is are scattered throughout the city streets, which have multiple tank traps, sandbags, and trenches dug throughout the streets. The Army sets up lines of trenches throughout the outer city, ready for Germans, Poles, Czechs, or any kind of intruders trying to take the capital. The People's Assembly once again meets and tries to determine whether to surrender or not.
 * Guatemala as expected, the United Left wins a huge victory in EL Salvador, on a wave of Guatemalan cash, and immediately agree to enter a federation with Guatemala. Guatemalan troops enter the country to quell any unrest, of which there is little, mainly from the urbanized Spanish-speaking regions. The native population is overwhelmingly supportive. Military buildup, primarily of ground forces, continues, and manufacturing of rifles, artillery and machine guns begins, based on foreign designs. The Trans-Guatemalan Railroad continues to carry huge amounts of traffic, undercutting the Panama Canal and offering large amount sod hard currency to the economy through tariffs. Coffe cultivation is encouraged, with it being worth a great deal.
 * South Africa: The South African government recieves the first 50 Verwoester Md.I tanks for the army, and assigns them to the 1st South African Armored Division, with plans to include the other 200 vehicles into the force once they are completed. The navy constructs the first three vessels ordered by the government, and sends them out on sea trials to prepare them for commissioning. The army mobilizes a third of the total reservists avaliable to the miltiary for combat training, while the troops of the 1st South African Infantry Division are sent into South-West Africa for survival training. The education of blacks continues, though members of the Afrikaner community begin to protest out of fear that the education of black Africans may weaken their grasp on power in the country. However, the African National Congress moves to placate members of the white community in an attempt to prevent violence and garner political legitimacy.
 * South-West Africa: Economic development continues in the territory. (Too lazy to write something deep).

'''A meteorite explodes over Pennsylvania. No one is injured.'''

Du Pont Chemicals announces the name of its new synthetic yarn, nylon.

A trade deal is offered to Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia and Mexico. We want also to make an alliance and defence deal with Colombia and Guatemala. The Policia snoop about and try to find Brazilian, Japanese and Soviet spies, but find none, but we keep our guard up just in case and keep up our police patrols and phone taps in the capital and Colon. The fishing fleet and coconut plantations grow and are invested in. The army is raised from 1500 to 1600.
 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Meanwhile, rebuilding efforts begin in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 5% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea and the naval forces were expanded to include 12 Destroyers, 16 frigates, two cruisers and 28 gunboats and 10 torpedo boats. The naval headquarter was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 17.1 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]. Meanwhile with tensions rising in the Balkans, Turkey requests the creation of a Military Alliance between Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey [MOD RESPONSE].

 * Greece: King George II and Prime Minister Metaxas condemn the Yugoslav invasions of Albania. The Royal Hellenic Army, which will remain at 650,000 men due to Yugoslav aggression, has taken up positions at the Yugoslav and Albanian border, to keep an eye on the Yugoslavs and to handle any Albanian refugee floods. Currently 250,000 men are at the Metaxas Line fortifications at the border with Yugoslavia. Railways have helped a lot in the transport of troops. Meanwhile, the Greek public is outraged at this invasion and is worried. The Royal Hellenic Navy monitors any Yugoslav ship movements to make sure none are near Greek waters. Greece asks Bulgaria for a military alliance, for collective defense against Yugoslavia. [MOD RESPONSE]
 * Mod response, accepted.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Canada: The ongoing depression, while improving, has changed little. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King announces a new series of plans, similar to the American New Deal, to help with the ongoing economic situation. Over $45 million are being organized for an infrastructure fund to the provinces, with millions more possible. Roads and improvements to the railway, especially in Northern Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Further, low interest loans are to be provided to industries and businesses to hire more workers and replace old machinery. Diplomatically, Canada announced a policy of "Wait and See," as it was called by a Toronto Newspaper editor. While standing with the United Kingdom and the British Empire is still priority number one, Canada has decided, as per the Statute of Westminster in 1931, to remain as impartial and neutral in foreign affairs as possible.
 * In the United States, the March of Dimes is established by FDR and the Civil Aeronautics Act is signed into law, forming the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Action Comics #1 is published and features the hero Superman. The Thousand Island Bridge is dedicated by the President. The Blue Water Bridge also opens. The NYSE introduces a 15-point plan intended to upgrade protection for the investing public. In OTL, America gave the RoC $25M to fight the Japs. China, if you want, just ask. Meanwhile, America does oil things in Colombia and builds the oil things in the aforementioned nation and gives the Colombians planes and boats and designs and stuff in exchange. This is generally regarded as a good idea.
 * Iran: The State smells a lucricious deal and offer the Japanese a trade deal (oil against war material). Modernization of the state advance at a good rate but while most of the population just follow, some Imam start to spreak against the reforms and the equality of the women and men. Some plan are made to take more power in matter of religion by appointing progressive Imams.
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. However, massive production of military progress is highly! The British Indian Army continues drilling infantry troops to highly military ranks and currently reaches about 630,000 military troops. The British Raj buys some more tanks from United Kingdom. Meanwhile, Ravi Phunkar begins writing on its fourth book called The Sweetest Folk: Moderation and Industrialization of the World.
 * Australia: Concerned over the rise of Japan, we begin building more ships for the navy, and develop the military. We ask for an alliance with China against Japan. We continue building railroads, roads, and work on the air force. Tanks are also built. We ask for a trade agreement with the USA. We secretly begin funding rebels in the GEACOS.
 * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers (Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.
 * Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy.
 * Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy.
 * Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer the Japanese to buy oil from us.
 * French Dip: We accept the alliance
 * Republic of Panamá: Infrastructure is improved and now departed of, some new roadways are built and the Panamá Canal is renovated. We drill infantry troops in how to use there guns once more and vow to protect the Panama Canal. We welcome our trade deals with Poland and Guatemala.
 * Belgium: Military and economy improve. Belgian Forces are still 70,000 in order. Belgium looks to establish some few buildings, but for libraries will be on the case.
 * Ethiopian Empire: After looking at the world, our majesty realize that we extremely unindustrialized. We then shall increase taxes on our population after we would take loans from western banks to help us industrialize. After seeing what has happened in the Great Depression, our nation shall not participate in a stock market until we have amassed enough wealth and we are properly industrialized. But on the state of our education, we invest in it 2.5% of our budget to our education by bringing in western teachers and knowledge. We will try using the Turkish reforms like state farms, a national police force and find where our natural resources are located.
 * Ethiopian French Diplomacy: We request low tariffs for the use of Djibouti in return for an alliance and 25 Char B1 tanks.
 * Ethiopian German Diplomacy: We request 50,000 Mausers and the blueprint for the Panzer III.
 * Switzerland: Expands on public buses and the railway system.
 * República de Chile: President Saras continues his new infrastructure programs, unveiling the new Pan Chilean Railway, a new rail system that will span the entire length of Chile, its estimated that thousands of long term jobs will be added to the economy with this bold proposal helping with the stagnant economy of the past decade. Chile opens its borders to any brilliant minds fleeing any persecution in Europe. The government otherwise remains neutral to Europe. Chile accepts the Argentine offer of trade and military alliances. Chile puts the newly purchased EE-T1 medium tanks immediently to use. Chile plans on purchasing 10 new tanks. Saras also oversees the expansion of naval ports on the Chilean coasts. Valparaíso, Chile, becomes a hot spot for cultural movers and shakers, with a new music and cinema industry taking shape.As Per the Military Revitalization Act, 2 new frigate class ships to be constructed over the course of the decade.The first, the ADC Almirante Blanco, begins in earnest this year, with another slated for construction in fall of next year the ADC Revolucion. Chile establishes a new embassy in Bolivia in hopes of influencing and strengthening ties between the two nations (influence turn 1 of 6). Two new weapons factories open near Saintago with speciality in rifles and heavy artillery. The Pan Chilean Railways begins to take shape as construction on the el Capital line from Santiago to Valiparasio. Buses also become a common means of low cost transportation in the cities. Congress passes the Debt Reclaimation Act of 1938, a series of programs similar to the American New Deal in hopes of jump starting Chile's economy in the midst of the depression. Several economists state that within the early part of the next decade, Chile should experience a healthy recovery and should be depression free by the later part.
 * Poland: We begin by building up our military. In anticipation of a possible soviet invasion, we begin to build tenches along the border, and send more soldiers there. Radzimierz Gniewek is captured and hanged in Lublin. In our elections, Andrzej Poplawski wins. He is in favor of intense military buildup, nationalism, and possibly authoritarianism. He begins by trying to capture and execute all rebels in Lublin; he is against communism at all costs. We withdraw more of our troops from the Austro-Czechoslovakian war, leaving only 25% of our original amount, and put all others on the border with Russia. We are willing to move the Krakow Peace talks to Berlin, if our terms remain the same. We condemn the Yugoslav annexation of Albania, and will only agree to peace with them if they leave Albania. We ask Turkey for an alliance, as we hope that we can unite in our conflicts against the Soviets. We build up our economy, constructing factories which could also build bullets in case of total war.
 * Germany Dip: Germany demands that certain terms be changed as Germany feels that the terms are to lenient and that German interests have been taken into consideration.
 * Poland: Then please make your own proposals on the Treaty of Krakow page, but separate from Poland's proposals. And until we agree to your terms, the talks will remain in Krakow.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We accept.
 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry kicks into overdrive as remilitarized production is completed and war production is started in preparation for what seems like a massive war on the horizon in eastern europe. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt  BF 109 newer models start being developed as well, with full scale production to begin within a few months.  Production of the Panzer II and III begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings while development of a heavier tank the panzer IV begins. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. german scientists begin to develop an early concept of applying jet tech to possible proto type planes (otl the germans did start experimenting with this tech at this time.) German forces continue to defend the czech state, and an invasion of austrian proper is launched from bavaria. (ALGO PLEASE). Larger conscription is put into place as the reserves are put into active duty to defend the east and to further the cause of war in Austria. The MP38 enters widespread distribution in the armed forces. To further the tatics of rapid advance German forces adopt a policy of mobile firepower to improve the speed that troops advance.
 * Argentina: The next two destroyers are launched, two more are laid down, and five patrol boats are laid down, and the aircraft carrier is having the last touches finished on it, including accommodations, water tanks, aviation fuel storage and the ordinance magazine. The domestic fighter plane is completed and the first ten for the Navy and twenty for the Air Force are finished. The economy continues to recover. Railroad lines are laid to the interior of the nation, and agriculture continues to improve. We begin to design a 40mm antiaircraft gun to use for the Navy and Army. The Army finishes up designs on the new infantry tank. It has a 75mm cannon, and is named the T-27 infantry tank. The Army orders 100 of them over the next two years.
 * Liechtenstein: The nation of Liechtenstein asks for a defensive pact with the nations of San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, and Luxembourg, in an effort to ensure our nation's security and prosperity. We offer Princess Maria Theresia von Liechtenstein as a suitable bride to Jean von Bourbon-Parma of Luxembourg. Biebrich Palace and Weilburg Castle are purchased. Our numerous estates and territories across Poland, Silesia, Bohemia, and Austria are expanded. A military force is created to police our nation, consisting of 300 active personnel.
 * Liechtenstein and Switzerland already have a defensive pact - horton
 * Greater East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere: GEACOPS officially forms, with emperor Hirohito as its ceremonial head and a new parliment elected. it begins exeriting its influence around east asia, people chant "asia for asians" throughout their sphere and beyond
 * Japan: T The military undergoes revision for tactical blunders in china that prevented siezing more territory. Military and economy are worked on
 * Imperial China: The government relocates to Beijing. Parades are held for the restoration of the monarchy (at least for that part of china), the first since the Qing were overthrown in 1912. Military and economy are worked on
 * Korea: Military and eocnomy are worked on
 * Menjiang: Military and economy are worked on.
 * West Papua: West Papua becomes the site of a massive naval and aerial buildup of GEACOPS military. Military and economy are worked on.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly. We decrease the number of Men in Saudi Controlled Greater Yemen and again seek to repair relations with Yemen. (MOD RESPONSE PLS) The nation celebrates as OIL is discovered in the Nation.
 * France: France continues to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. French Armor Units: Renault R35, FCM 36, Char D1, Char D2, Char B1, Char 2C, AMC 34, AMC 35, and the SOMUA S35. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,500,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 900,000 able-bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, help recover the economy, and its infrastructure. With the recent victory in 1936 of the Right and Centre parties over the Popular Front due to the recovering economy and increased and focus on the French military programs, and generally improving the French home front. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. With the Spanish victory over the rebel forces we begin to pull troops out of Spain. With the defeat of the Austrian invasion and being able to test out troops and armor to a complete success, we begin to pull troops slowly out of the region. We attend the Treaty of Krakow. However we continue to place sanctions on the Yugoslavians for their invasion of Albania, we also send supplies to the Albanians (Military turn)
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil continues in earnest as its industrial and economic advances continue to put it leagues ahead of the remainder of the continent economically and militarily. The Brazilian government also begins to prepare for the 1940 elections for all positions. Vargas continues to show support for Ramos who looks to have a convincing popular lead as the hand picked successor to run by Vargas. The various industries in Brazil contnue to advance as well and economists predict that by late 1939 Brazil will advance into a similar industrial capability as that of Italy a nation considered a great power. The Brazilian people celebrate as the Great depression seems to be nearing its end. The First of the Vargas governments debt payments are paid off as the return investments finance the debt and some advancement as well. The Industry is expected to grow at a normal unaccelerated rate now with Brazilian investment into the sector via private companies taking over for the previous state investments. The Brazilian Battleship Rio Grande do Sul continues construction now ahead of schedule as much naval expertise has either been acquired or hired through foreign means. The ship is expected to be completed in early 1939 by the accelerated time-table. The Brazilian carrier Dom Pedro II is constructed in earnest as well with more industrial potential being dedicated to this ship. The Fleet however adds another Cruiser to the fleet. The Navy officially establishes its naval aviation wing and in earnest and develops the F-2 Jaguar fighter, NB-5 Tamarin bomber, and the STB-3 ghost torpedo bomber. The three planes are slated to be Brazils premier naval aircraft outside of the few existing scout craft. The Brazilian army after nearly a year and a half of acquisitions are re-armed fully with the IM-95 rifles, and M-3 Roussefs. The various mechanized portions of the army continue to grow and have begun to develop a comprehensive battle doctrine focusing on some combined arms warfare but focusing heavily on infantry to acheive certain objective and Mechanized and Armored units to play the mobile heavy guns for infantry. The Brazilian private sector pours investment into the amazons and Venezuela now to develop resources. The Oil in Venezuela is particularly invested in to turn it into an oil juggernaught. The Brazilian airforce now with modified BF-109's now known as F-109 continue to enter service now adding two 7.7 mm machin guns onto the wings. The Air force however also now gains access to the blueprints of the B-22 long range bomber which is given a test flight and a range of about 1200 miles. The Brazilian elections continue but word of a coup to prevent the elections are heard of and the perpetrator, a Brazilian general whose name is not released is tried for treason in less than 6 hours with all the evidence having been seized along with him. The Previous communist rebels are arrested too and the true threat of a communist revolution is declared over. Brazilian Nuclear research continues with some scientists theorising its use for power. When a military man taking classes overhears about the research he brigns it to his superiors to possibly develop a weapon out of such research.
 * Venezuela: The Venezuelan states interim government welcome the mass investment from Brazilian buisinessmen as oil begins to expand as a domestic industry. The agreements signed however does not give undue power to brazilian buisinessmen and they are still limited to prevent their monopoly over Venezuelan oil resources. The Venezuelan military is expanded to an 80,000 strong force even and makes a few moderate purchases from Brazil to give the nation some new capabilities. The Venezuelan government signs into the various trade treaties Brazil is involved in particularly with Chile and Peru. The Venezuelan government purchases two destroyers from Brazils shipbuilding companies and they are expected to be delivered in the next 6 months to 1 year. The elections continue to be organized for 1940
 * New Zealand: Prime Minister Bill Parry is re-elected in the 1938 General Election. We condemn the Yugoslavian Invasion of Albania, and place economic sanctions on Yugoslavia, and urge other nations to place sanctions too. Millitary is improved with many tanks, aircrafts and warships being built. We offer trade to the Albanian resistance [MOD PLS], Poland and France. Urbanization continues in North Island, and on coasts of South Island. [Eco/Inf turn].(QC asked me to post this, look at my talkpage)
 * Peru: We improve infrastructure in our nation and also begin building 3 factories to produce commercial goods. We continue to inf Ecuador and Improve relations with the small nation. We also continue to improve relations with Brazil. We station 2500 men on the Peruvian - Colombian border and build more defensive forts there.
 * Hungary: Hungary develops the economy and infrastructure. The military currently consists of 500,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We are glad Germany have formed an alliance. The majority of Hungary's troops are located on the border with Romania. (Economy and infrastructure turn)
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under Marshall Tukhachevsky works hard to industrialize and improve both the nation and the military as a whole. Industry across the nation is encouraged regardless of whether it is by free or forced labor. The central planning committee and the military agree to construct some factories and munitions plants behind the Urals and Caucasus mountains in the event of possible invasion, and a few small ones are built up in the far east as well. The military, especially the officer corps, begins to study the theory of deep operations and learn how to apply it in most military scenarios. Other branches of the military like the aerial forces and the navy are also built up a bit, but more slowly. The navy in particular is the least built up, although all three main fleets see a slight increase in spending. The war breaking out in Europe forces the military to consider the possibility of war, and the actions of the Turks are not helping inspire Soviet confidence on a one front war. The military increases the number of soldiers under its total command from 800,000 to a full million in the preparation of such a war. The deployment of the forces is classified, although it is estimated that there are 500,000 in Eastern Europe, 250,000 in the Caucasus, 200,000 in Central Asia and 50,000 in the Far East. Basic border fortifications are established in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In domestic affairs, Marshall Tukhachevsky proceeds with the plan that was started under Stalin and uses ethnologists and statisticians to determine and evaluate all of the ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. Major groups are deliniated into seperate Soviet Republics. By the end of the year, the Soviet Union is transformed from four soviet republics into a little more than two dozen. The Soviet Union pledges friendship and alliance with Austria and continues to send them material support. While not entirely authorized by the Soviet government, some volunteers go to fight with their Austrian comrades. Increased support is also sent to the Chinese Communist Party. The Soviet government sees the Lublin rebellion as an opportunity, and begins to support the communist forces there with medical support, weapons, and ammunition.
 * Mongolia: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * Tuva: Not much happens here right now. Some training of troops and limited industrialization occurs, but the country is still mostly agricultural or pastoral. Persecution continues to decline a bit as authorities see the monks as less of a problem at present.
 * East Turkestan People's Republic: Not much changes here, although a provisional armed forces are established to patrol over the entire country and the provisional government sets up shop in Urumqi. The provisional government begins, with Soviet assistance, to ensure that the benefits of Communism are apparent and available to everyone.
 * Austria:We finish setting up defenses in Vienna. The Volkspanzer IIs and Is are scattered throughout the city streets, which have multiple tank traps, sandbags, and trenches dug throughout the streets. The Army sets up lines of trenches throughout the outer city, ready for Germans, Poles, Czechs, or any kind of intruders trying to take the capital. The People's Assembly once again meets and tries to determine whether to surrender or not.
 * German Dip: The reich offers peace on the following terms, Austria surrender to the advancing german forces, the communist government is disbanded and a new coalition of conservative exiles be formed in its stead as a restored German Republic of Austria, Austria accept an economic union with the Reich, and agree to place the Austrian forces under nominal German command during times of War. And under no circumstances may Vienna enter foriegn alliances without German consent.
 * Republic of Colombia: The historic Rubiales Oil Agreement is signed between the Republic of Colombia and the United States. Scouting begins right away, and the first oil wells are scheduled to be completed around 1940. The military and economy are improved.

1939.0
Pita scolds the mods for being lazy.


 * Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 5% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, and by now; it was equipped by modern German rifles. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey. The Zafer Project continues, aiming at establishing a major defence system to defend Turkey; concentrating on building defenses by the Caucausus Mountains and coastline bordering the Black sea. As many as 20,000 marines are recruited into the navy in order to conduct espionage missions at the Aegean Sea and the naval forces were expanded to include 12 Destroyers, 16 frigates, two cruisers and 28 gunboats and 10 torpedo boats. The naval headquarter was at the same time, established at the Golden Horn and mass funding was given to strengthening the navy. The construction of the port is termed a great success and investors are attracted from all over the world to invest in the Erdimir Port. The population is met with a sharp and steady increase, reaching 17.1 million due to the success of Kemals agricultural and industrial reforms. [Mil/Eco Turn]. The alliance established with Poland against Communist Aggression is termed as a success. Similarly, the creation of a Military Pact consisting of Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria is described as a great pact. Meanwhile, the sale of 100 CharB1 Tanks from France proves to be quite helpful and to further boost up defences, Turkey requests Germany to provide blueprints for Panzer II and Panzer III.(srsly NK)
 * Second Spainish Republic: After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining cooperations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Investments in the mining industry made by France and the USSR start to turn around the economy for the Republic of Spain. Meanwhile, rebuilding efforts begin in Gallicia, to restore the area to the way it was before the nationalist rebellion. Seeing Yugoslavia as a hostile force against Albania, Spain supplies the Albanians with guns to use against the Yugoslavs. [Mil/Econ Turn]
 * Poland: Andrzej Poplawski, completely scared of communist threats in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Austria, and the revolt in Lublin, begins to implement his plan for a draft of soldiers. Poland is full scare preparing for war, whoever it may be. We increase our economic development, and use our factories for war. Metal factories make bullets, textile factories make uniforms, and so on. We also improve our military, sending the new recruits to Lublin to put down the revolt. The rebels are losing, especially after their leader has been hanged, and many communist rebels have been captured and are on trial. Guilty ones will be sent to work camps where they will construct materials for war. Our military stationed on our border with Russia is building trenches, and we especially focused on keeping control of Wilno. We ask Austria and Yugoslavia for peace with us on the following terms: Return of Czechoslovakia and Albania as independent states, dissolvement of communist government, and a ten year peace treaty. We also ask Hungary for an alliance, to unite against Russia, Yugoslavia, and Austria.
 * ​Dutch Dip: The Netherlands ask permission to propose our own version of the treaty
 * Poland: You may propose it, just keep Poland's Proposal there too.
 * Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist temples are also built.
 * Italy: After planning this for many years, we invade Yugoslavia. We also continue urbanizing, strengthening our borders with other nations. We also declare the official religion of Italy as being Atheism, seeing religion as an unproductive activity. We do allow Vatican City to continue surviving, as it would bring international criticism otherwise.
 * Iran: Continue to modernize the nation infrastructures and ideas. More digging site provide more oils to sell. We offer Japan a trade agreement (oil in exchange of modern weapons). Secularism slowly take foot in the major cities but meet resistance in the countryside. The State pass a decree that almost take the religious institution under the state control with progressive Imam receiving key position. We offer the Soviet a trade agreement and a non-aggression pact.
 * France: France continues to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design have been rolled out, the Char B1 Tank. We also continue to build up our armored division we our newer tank designs now rolling out. French Armor Units: Renault R35, FCM 36, Char D1, Char D2, Char B1, Char 2C, AMC 34, AMC 35, and the SOMUA S35. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,600,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained in case an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 1,000,000 able-bodied men in reserve. We continue to build up and improve our naval forces. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain its current military, upgrade it, help recover the economy, and its infrastructure. 'With the recent victory in 1936 of the Right and Centre parties over the Popular Front due to the recovering economy and increased and focus on the French military programs, and generally improving the French home front. We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. With the Spanish victory over the rebel forces we begin to pull troops out of Spain. With the defeat of the Austrian invasion and being able to test out troops and armor to a complete success, we begin to pull troops slowly out of the region. We attend the Treaty of Krakow. However we continue to place sanctions on the Yugoslavians for their invasion of Albania, we also send supplies to the Albanians. We sell Turkey the 100 Char B1 tanks in trade for money. (Economy turn)
 * Poland: We ask France to sign our newest version of the Treaty of Krakow.
 * Canada: More money is poured into the Dominion Infrastructure Fund, which is in turn loaned to the provinces to develop roads, airports, hydroelectric dams and other projects. PM King also announced that the Department of Defence is drawing up designs for new aircraft and ships, namely destroyers and a new kind of ship called the "corvette," though production on these will not be expected for at least a year, if not longer. When they are ready for production, Canada will be receptive to offers to produce and sell these craft to foreign nations, baring international law.'
 * Brazil: The Nation of Brazil gears up for its first electionf of the new Federation of Brazil. Nereu Ramos vs Carlos Luz is the current matchup with no vice presidential candidates picked for each. Vargas himself however takes his most trusted general and puts him in charge of 15,000 Army troops who are used to keep the peace and in general keep tabs on the elections to prevent a coup from ruining all of Vargas's hard work. There is some public backlash to this but as Vargas essentially regulates them to a police duty rather than actively pushing people or scaring people to one side or the other. Currently both of the major candidates are both from the nations Social Democracy party but with that being the majority party currently in power holding nearly 93% of all government position the part is officially split in the coming election between the Ramos policy of continued modernization and integration of the continent and asserting Brazil as an international power. Carlos Luz however is on a more liberal side wishing less military buildup, and more isolation of Brazil. This Split officially forms the Social Liberal Party of Brazil. The Election campaigning continues in earnest. The Nations military is expanded to about 700,000 individuals as all branches particularly the Marines show a notable increase in troop strength. The Marines in particular go from 30,000 to about 120,000 with plans to increase them to 200,000 in the next decade. The Brazilian marines are given new equipment particularly modified light tanks and machine guns for their divisions. The Brazilian air force now numbers about 250 planes in grand total with over half being F-109's and others being long range bombers, cargo planes, and scout aircraft. Brazil celebrates as its first domestically built Battleship the Rio Grande Do Sul is completed and commissioned following a few months of sea trials. The Carrier Dom Pedro II continues construction. The Rio Grande Do Sul is given her own battlegroup with 5 destroyers, 3 frigates, 2 cruisers and in a surprise development 2 of Brazils first Submarines. This is done to facilitate a combined naval coverage doctrine and is the first real development of Brazils submarine program which has been lacking previously. The Army also begins heavy research into a heavy tank scrapping previous designs for being too clunky and lacking in fire power. The First round of designs will be done in 1940. The Brazilian army also released its first half tracks and light recon vehicles. Brazil officially signs a treaty establishing a base in Venezuela on lease from the government in Amuay. This coincidentally is near one of Brazils biggest investments in the Venezuelan oil industry. 1 cruiser and 3 destroyers as well as about 1500 marines are deployed to Port Amuay. Vargas marks this to his peers as the first step in an international Brazil. The Brazilian government continues to build up its roadways into a highway system out of the coast.
 * Venezuela: Venezuela now also begins to campaign for its own elections with conservatives versing liberals. The reports put the conservatives in the winning faction. The Venezuelan oil fields continue development under Brazilian and Venezuelan state and private investment. The Amuay Refinery is upgraded and built up to produce even more oil. The Venezuelan interim government agrees to a Base in Amuay on the condition its leased and that it can be returned if the government ever decides to not renew the lease. The Military remains at 80,000 with only minor acquisitions in equipment particularly rifles and machine guns. The nation itself shows a greater leaning towards Brazil as the trade brought in reinvigorates the economy after years of collapse and stagnation from the great depression. A few defensive outposts are put on the colombian border for good measure.


 * New Zealand: Prime Minister Bill Parry is re-elected in the 1938 General Election.

Millitary is improved with many tanks, aircrafts and warships being built. We offer trade to Poland and France. Urbanization continues in North Island, and on coasts of South Island. [Eco/Inf turn].

We begin building tanks, aircraft, and submarines for the navy. We send a message to Japan, warning them against any aggression that can be seen as a threat to Australia. We continue to secretly fund rebels against Japan.
 * Greater East Asia Co Prospertiy Sphere Diplomacy: Such hostility
 * British Raj: India continues to improve its economy and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. However, massive production of military progress is highly! The British Indian Army continues drilling infantry troops to highly military ranks and currently reaches about 650,000 military troops. T he British Raj buys some more tanks from United Kingdom. Meanwhile, Ravi Phunkar completes the book The Sweetest Folk: Moderation and Industrialization of the World and releases it.

 * German Reich: Following the developments of negotiations with France and the return of the Saarland and permission to remilitarize the Rhineland the German population is ecstatic. The regime receives massive support from the German population, as the Wermacht moves into the Rhineland they are greeted by massive support from the locals. The Saarland is re-annexed to the Rhineland province. Conscription continues and the reserves start to swell up. German Industry kicks into overdrive as remilitarized production is completed and war production is started in preparation for what seems like a massive war on the horizon in eastern europe. Large scale production of the first fighter of the new official German Air Force is developed known as the Messerschmitt  BF 109 newer models start being developed as well, with full scale production to begin within a few months.  Production of the Panzer II and III begins as the Panzer I proved to have several short comings while development of a heavier tank the panzer IV begins. Bombers are slowly brought into production. Armored vehicles are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fight over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-German sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution. german scientists begin to develop an early concept of applying jet tech to possible proto type planes (otl the germans did start experimenting with this tech at this time.) German forces continue to defend the czech state, and an invasion of austrian proper is launched from bavaria. (ALGO PLEASE). Larger conscription is put into place as the reserves are put into active duty to defend the east and to further the cause of war in Austria. As German troops near Vienna after a bloody year of fighting Germany once more offers to accept VIenna's surrender under the terms Berlin offered them in 1938, Germany agrees to the Dutch amendments to the treaty of Krakow and would be willing to accept those terms. The MP38 enters widespread distribution in the armed forces. To further the tatics of rapid advance German forces adopt a policy of mobile firepower to improve the speed that troops advance.

Birth rates are continuing to increase. With all that is happeing, we aks all nations that are angry at us for 50 years NAP. Milan Strojadinovis cut back on military spending and put the funds that would go into the military into education and healthcare.
 * Dutch Dip: Have a look at the Treaty of Krakow, new terms have been proposed
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We Agree to the treaty and tell the duct it was all Austria's fault for bribing them with tanks.
 * Polish Dip: We made changes to the treaty, which we want to become the final draft.


 * Greece: We propose a military alliance with us and Bulgaria to Albania. Next, we downsize the army by sending 200,000 conscripts home, as their service is up. However, they are allowed to keep rifles in case of an invasion, so they may still be used for defense. The regular military is now just 450,000 men. Meanwhile, a project begins to expand agriculture in the nation and farming is invested in. Construction of ships and planes is put on halt for now, leaving 98 aircraft and 41 ships. Some buildings in some cities are rebuilt with newer designs.
 * Yugoslavian Dip: We ask for an alliance with you.
 * Switzerland officially declares was on Yugoslavia in support of Albania. The country now needs to figure out how they will send military support.
 * That war is over

She is 55 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point that it practically doesn't exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The NNF wins the elctions, and Mitchell Roelofsen becomes the new Prime-Minister of the Netherlands. The NNF supports alliances with the surrounding powers (Germany, France and UK), and thus alliances are offered to Germany, France and the UK.

 * Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy.The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly. We decrease the number of Men in Saudi Controlled Greater Yemen and again seek to repair relations with Yemen. (MOD RESPONSE PLS) The nation celebrates as OIL is discovered in the Nation. We offer trade deals to any nations willing to help us extract the Oil, preference going to major powers Such as the US and Germany.
