Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented.

They condemn the Onguayal for being a religiously oppressive, warmongering nation with no care for how any non-Onguayali people wish to govern their lives. All members of the Sovereignty Defense League are required to send military aid to help Fjordlaand against Bharat or they will be in violation of the treaty and ejected from the organization. Currently, Denmark, Wales and Hungary are other player nations in this organization (unless I missed someone else joining)
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth sends the 5th fleet and several nuclear subs in accordance with the SDL treaty. The General Assembly authorizes a division of the Môr-filwyr Cymreig(Welsh Marines) to Bharat in support of the SDL.

It immediately asks for an formal alliance with Eetoria, as it doesn't want any conflicts with them. It also sends diplomats to Saigyō to restore friendly relations, which were lost during the Bharatti occupation of Australia.
 * Foreign Minister Utsuho Niemelä of the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō agrees and begins to restore friendly relations with Australia.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha accept the alliance with their new Australian neighbours.

 * Brythonic Commonwealth gives best wishes to Beifong on his success.
 * Crim you said I could put a man in space first. What happened?
 * If I could be the first to the moon. You said it wasn't happening. On the bright side, you can get to the moon first.

 * The Russian parliament receives intelligence about the Chinese planned February mission, and get very angry, so they fast-track their planned April 12th Vostok-1 mission to March 12th (Denmark did call the first guy in space...ignore if bypassed and make Russian parliament angry and launch Vostok in March). The Vostok craft is launched from Baikanour with the Danish Cosmonaut Haral Aleksejevich. A parade is held in the Streets of St Petersburg to mark this humongous achievement by Evrokosmos. A month later, on the scheduled flight of Vostok-1, Squadrom Captain Yuri Gagarin of the Russian imperial Air Fleet is promoted to Wing Commander during the flight of Vostok-2, where he stayed in orbit for an entire day, and is greeted with the order of St Andrew upon arrival for his great feat and his bravery. Vostok 3 and 4 are planned as simultaneous flights, and the seats of the Cosmonauts are offered to the Welsh, along with the Russian nominee Gherman Titov, although, we could have all nations have people in space simultaneously. The Russians start to recruit and plan to have the first woman in space in secret (and that means top secret). The Russians suggest that they must have as many "space firsts" as possible to the joint commission of Evrokosmos (Danish and Welsh). The Russian military builds more nuclear bombs, and builds another two larger, Hotel-class ballistic missile subs, capable for carrying Etapa-5M rockets, although for speed Sloika-512Ms are still preferred. New Planes come out, and the air force is getting more helicopters form Kamov. The Russians launch the Luna-1 and Luna-2 probes sequentialy, Luna-1 just barely misses the moon and enters solar orbit, and Luna-2 succesfuly Impacts the moon. Russia launches the Luna-3 probe in November to take pictures of the Moon's far side.
 * Brythonic Commonwealth also releases to RUSSIA and DENMARK ONLY plans for a weaponization platform in space scheduled to begin research in 1964.
 * In the post of China he already stated that the Chinese man was the first man in space. You can't contradict what people have already posted. 
 * 'Yes we can. We'll simply state that they were mistaken.'
 * Hey - my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok-1 forward to March 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * China still beats us if we put it in March, Lx.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth makes plans to send the astronaut Leon Willis into space where he will remain for two weeks before returning to Earth. Orange computers releases a new Operating System called Orange I that is commandline based, but is faster than previous versions. The government adopts this operating system as well as the whole of the European Space Cooperative. More nuke subs are planned. Wales declares that its alliance with Finland remains, but on probationary status until Finland withdraws from the war. The Commonwealth likes Finland and wishes her to remain an ally. Wales orders 200 new Sikorsky helicopters. The military also updates it fighters, releasing the R-2 fighter (OTL MiG like) The navy is upgraded to nuclear reactors. Victor Computers releases a smaller, more portable PC called the Olympic and it begins being sold throughout Nippon, Wales and Finland. An envoy is sent to Flanders, and Alsatia to establish diplomatic ties and an offer of alliance (somebody do a random.org please)
 * I do not understand the current situation. I explicitly called the first man in space and Crim agreed to let me have it. Like Russia with the nuke I was going to launch a man for Russia, Wales and Denmark. Gone back on his word Crim has. Like this Yoda does not.
 * China got their man in space...I panicked and added the space part after my edit conflict... I didn't want others superseding the Danish-Russian-Welsh space program,..names can be changed...quite easily...just name the first cosmonaut/astronaut and it shall be done
 * No word was given and the agreement was conditional. You made it clear that my side of the deal wasn't happening.
 * OK then. Giving the date of your launch proved fatal for your launch as we beat you.
 * Did you just edit Lx's turn?
 * Actually, since he gave that his guy was the first in space, you can't say you beat China. He posted first and explicitly said his man was first. Furthermore, you can't "hear about the Chinese Space program and move your program back to January 1" all on January 1, as you would only control this year, not last year. China won, stop whining about it.
 * It was on the 13th. Not the first.
 * Hey - my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok-1 forward to March 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * I called dibs on it, so I don't see why we're having this argument in the first place.
 * Australia signs a military alliance agreement with Denmark. Meanwhile, Australia continues to industrialize. It also founds the Australian Defence Force. Michael Salzman (German-British) is assigned to be the Chief of Army, and is waiting for the Australian forces to come back from fighting with Bharat, which is, as they hope, being the last time they fight for a country which was ruling their motherland for more than half century.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Orvokki Komeiji continues to, proudly, sends more supplies to help Onguayal. Sonja Komeiji retires from singing, and gets very angered by her sister's actions, so, she decides to do something about it. One night, Sonja Komeiji enters the Tsuyukusa Eastern Palace, and begins to look for her sister, but then runs into a kitten. She stops to inspect the kitten, but soon some cats appear down the hall. Soon the cats begin to run towards her, however, Sonja Komeiji's quick to respond and runs. She manages to reach a door at the end of the hall and close it quickly. The cats then stop at the door and just stare. Sonja Komeiji then runs up the stairs to the third floor and sees this next hall being filled with purple and black tiles in a chequered fashion. Soon as she walks down the hall and finally approaches the end of it. However at the end, there is a painting of what looks like Utsuho Reiuji, in the style as if she's ready to launch an attack. Sonja Komeiji gets scared, and decides to run out. However, she trips midway back to the door, but she manages to get back up a few minutes later, and manages to reach the door, but before she opens it she sees a kitten again. Knowing it's a trap, Sonja runs the other way and begins taking the central stairs down. Soon she reaches the first floor, and makes it to the door and runs out of the palace in tears and fear. Eventually, Sonja Komeiji manages to run into her other sister, Kyllikki Komeiji and she begins to tell her what happened and what she wanted to do. Kyllikki Komeiji then hugs Sonja and soon she decides to go to the Palace herself. Three nights later, Kyllikki Komeiji goes to the Tsuyukusa Eastern Palace and Sonja Komeiji waits outside this time. As Kyllikki Komeiji enters the palace, she sees the same kitten that Sonja saw. Though she ignores it and goes and takes the central stairs. She reaches the third floor, walks down the hallway, and also sees the same painting that Sonja saw. After that, Kyllikki Komeiji begins to open the door on the left, and enters the room. However, she sees that the room is filled with a few drawings of butterflies, and a few paintings of Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku can be seen. Though she doesn't find Orvokki anywhere, and so she leaves and closes the door behind her. Then proceeds to look at some of the other doors until a bit down past midway, she opens that door and sees Empress Orvokki Komeiji watching some television. Empress Orvokki Komeiji then turns and becomes curious of what her sister is up to, and so asks. Soon Kyllikki Komeiji then discusses about all that happened with Sonja, and after that, requests that supplies stop being sent to Onguayal. Empress Orvokki Komeiji looks at her with disappointment, and disagrees. Later, the phone rings and Empress picks it up. It is Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen on the phone, and requests to stop sending supplies. However, the Empress refuses, and soon hangs up and runs out. Kyllikki Komeiji tries to chase her, but can't find her anywhere else in the palace. Later, she leaves the palace, and walks back home with Sonja, in disappointment, while Sonja is still angered. Three months later, Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen gets a call from the Empress, telling her to cut off the supplies.

More roads, motorways, railways, harbours are built and in the Region of Kōshi more Shinto shrines are also built. Shogun Kazuko Häkkinen improves the economy. New animation films continue to be showed in the Safaia Elokuva theatre and more are created. Meanwhile a Kōshi Yakuza, the Lappalainen-kai (has 20 members), calls the SDL an illegal drug-based organisation due to the fact that the letters can be easily switched around to read LSD and the fact its filled with snobbish people interfering in wars that have nothing to do with them. The Yakuzas become more active in the Region of Kōshi again. WMDs continue to be stockpiled but with the resurgence of the Yakuzas, the government starts to worry about the Yakuzas getting their hands on the WMDs and then using them or selling them to other dangerous organisations.

By the 8th month, the first Käwäshironian Cartel is formed, having business of selling illegal drugs.
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs as the creation of Kusanagi grade nuclear bombs is stopped. Nippon produces more nuclear submarines too, most of the new submarines being those of the Ōwatatsumi V2 class, cementing Nippon's position as the world's strongest navy. Nippon's space programme continues as the project sends Dr Junko Akiyama, the scientist leading the space programme into space, making her the first woman in space. Upon her return she tells the Nipponese media about her trip into space and predicts that one day the human race will conquer the stars as in some of the popular sci-fi anime shows on the television. Other events include the Takeda Pharmaceutical Company inventing Diazepam and the drug begins to be used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal among things. The Nipponese Plantation Company invent the nondairy creamer too.

Shuubudan also ask if they join the Kaava Yksi franchise and host races in Shuubudan.
 * Vanamo Honda gladly and happily welcomes the Shuubudan into the Kaava Yksi franchise, and adds them.

Alongside it the Expeditor 3 (aka the Venera 1) is launched inwards towards Venus. In the winters, problems arise as a great blizzards blows across from Siberia, leaving Northern Norway and Sweden with no frost free days and all of Svalbard snowed in very deep. The snowstorm starts to move south and leaves Stockholm with seven inches of snow, leaving the people there in great hardship. After touching Northern Denmark, if continues eastwards, and Danish meteorologists predict that it will hit Flanders and France before assuming a northwards course, stiking Brittany, and then Wales and Britain before heading towards Iceland and Denmark, where it will stop hopefully. Danish former Regent Harald is killed in Stockholm after the snowstorm hits by a lone gunman upset over the storm. Work is stalled on the new Copenhagen subway. Peturbed by the collapse of Germany, Saxony, Brandenburg, Hanover, and Bavaria are offered trade agreements to retain positive relations with the Germans.
 * Wales offers condolences.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth suffers the coldest winter on record. The extreme weather, which is predicted to get worse, has already shutdown important infrastructure and has knocked off power to over a million nationwide. Valkarie I is launched as a near space probe, that will record atmopsheric temp and climate changes in earth's atmosphere. The National Climate Observatory is formed to analyze weather and other climatic factors. Orange computers continue to gain popularity, especially in Italy and Russia.

 * Czechland would like to open its borders to imigrating Bavarians, and other Germans, along with trade.
 * Australia welcomes returning soldiers and establishes 1st Division, 2nd Division and Special Forces Division. Many reforms are created in military, especially in Special Forces Division. Industrialization also continues.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation.

Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen improves the economy again and makes neutral policies; and also orders clean-up and aid to the damage some of the winter storms caused in Northern Finland. Shinto Shrines that were damaged by the winter storms are repaired. The huge motorway system continues being built in Finland, along with liikennevalot. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building cars and military equipment (tanks, weapons, etc.) while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues to making phones.

Vanamo Honda continue to plans to expand the racing event to other nations as well. Shizuka Minkkinen decides to release her short manga story titled Hōrō-sha (放浪者; Wanderer). Soon the character Soilikki Mikkola becomes even more of a hit then Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku and all three all become the most popular characters in Finland. In city of Vantaa, Mizuki Oksanen (female, Shintoist) founded the restaurant/fast food, Rin's (similar to OTL, just that the mascot is replaced with OTL Rin Kaenbyou, without the cat ears, mind). Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik more roads and motorway are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy bit more.


 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. President Ano Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää, continues to interpret the Juche idea, into account.


 * Imperial Confederation of Saigyō continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation and continues building up military. More roads, motorways, railways, harbours are built and in the Region of Kōshi more Shinto shrines are also built. Shogun Kazuko Häkkinen improves the economy. New animation films continue to be showed in the Safaia Elokuva theatre and more are created. Hearing the police is stepped up, some of the Yakuzas goes to hide and work underground. The confederacy also begin talks with Sunda to bail their economy out and maybe having Sunda becoming a member nation/region of the confederacy.


 * People's Republic of Käwäshiro heavily builds up military, continues industrialisation, building infrastructure. President Janika Erkkilä has more military equipment built. Premier Mauno Miyako continues to improve the road system a bit; and he also continues military support in support of Onguayal against Fjordlaand.

 * Austria: Austria offers to Sell the Austrian colony for 50 Million. Military and infrastructure is updated some with tech and Economy.
 * Denmark offers 47 million.
 * Czechland offers 60 million.
 * I doubt Czechland can actually offer 60 million without going into bankruptcy.
 * The Czechs are small and not very wealthy, they can't afford that. Plus, the Czechs don't even border an ocean, and don't have any real with a sea-bordering nation, so they can't even buy the colony.
 * Wales offers 57 million with trade options, and military bases
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha offer Austria 30 million to gain control which the commonwealth claim is theirs rightfully, anyway. The nation is greatly annoyed that they have to pay to take control of the land which was claimed by the Commonwealth years before Austria set up a colony there. But they recognise that some compensation should be paid so 30 million is put on the table. The Commonwealth would also be quite hostile to any other nation taking control of this colony as the Commonwealth laid claim to the land many years before the Austrian colony was founded and the land is rightfully part of Ngainkeha.
 * The Russian Luna-3 probe is very succesful in bringing back what it was meant to do: intact photographs of the Lunar Far side, the fist ever taken in existance. Man has seen the Lunar far side for the first time. In its five orbits around the moon, the probe gives the Russians a valid mapping of the Lunar Surface. The 58 year old Emperor proclaims that he will strive to live until the Russian Commonwealth and Evrokosmos have succesfuly landed on the moon, and he gives the equivalent of JFK's "We Chose to go to the Moon" speech in front of the Duma after the photographs from Luna-3 have been recovered and reavealed them to the public at the same time. Meanwhile, Evrokosmos works on Bettering the photographic capabilities of satellites for meteorologica [but realy reconnaissance and espionage...shhhhh! that's a Secret only Wales and Denmark should know!!!] purposes. The Russian military amps up, building more and more Missile silos and working on better, more acurate and efficiant ICBMs MRBMs and theater balistic missiles. RUssia stockpiles more nuclear bombs, and Project Ivan the Terrible begins. Russia commissions more nuclear subs, and its naval capacity surpases that of Nippon. Evrokosmos sends three Cosmonauts into Space at one time, One Welsh, One Russian, and the other, a Dane. The misison, Dubbed Sever-Vostok-Zapad (North-East-West), Lauches Vostok 3, 4 and 5. Plans for Vostok 6 and 7, Carrying the fist Russian Woman into Space, Are planned to launch next year...And that is the End of the Vostok programme, Evrokosmos Starts The Voshod programme, with a modified Vostok Spacefrat modified for a planned three-man Crew (TOP SECRET). The Winter is harsh, but the Russian people, more used to it than most of Europe, survive, this cold not being worse than that of 1812, and they didn't have electric heaters back then! The Russians slowly recover from the winter, and the roads break more than expected, as well as some small villages and towns losing power, causing 16-20 deaths due to freezing across Russia...mostly seniors. The senate sends its condolences. A New model of Luna Probe is worked on for Luna-4, the "second Generation" probe. Russia suggests the policy of advancing robotics and systems so that there can be Automated test flights of all technology without people, and have various pieces of tech without men return to capsules and such to ensure no death occur...the "Probe before man" approach. Meanwhile, the female candidate for The Vostok-7 mission is chosen to be Valentina Tereshkova, The honor to pilot Vostok 6 is given to a Welshman. A Russian researcher in Moscow University accidentally invents Penicillin...an excellent and cheap antibiotic... Most everyone in Russia is getting Smallpox vaccines at birth.
 * Hungary continues updating its military. Meanwhile, Hajnal Szálasi releases another album, called "Szabad Jazz : A kollektív rögtönzések" (Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation). Its title establishes the name of the the style played on this album. Ezsák-Afrika expands.
 * Newfoundland expands 84000 sq km.
 * Pahang builds up its military along the border with Mystiää. They again try to make propaganda claiming that Mystiää is an imperialist set-up made by the Koreans, Swedish and Finns, and they claim that anti-imperialism in Juche is hypocritical, as without invasion they would be part of Pahang.
 * President Ano Aaltonen manages to block out and censor the Pahang propaganda to prevent it from leaked into the nation, and also releases counter-progerganda to his citizens of Mystiää. He also orders for anyone trying to find out the truth be secretly being taken away by the 'police'.
 * Istoias builds up its military, wary that a new war could break out soon.
 * Calora expands 4000 square kilometers further into South America.
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs including the new Ennetsu V2 class H-bomb (OTL Tsar Bomba). The first bomb of this new class was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT (420 PJ), but the yield was reduced by Nipponese engineers to 50 megatons in order to reduce nuclear fallout (and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft). The test took place on Karaginsky Island and the attempt was successful, as it was one of the cleanest (relative to its yield) nuclear bombs ever detonated as well as being the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Nippon produces more nuclear submarines and more aircraft carriers including the new Kyodai kigyō class aircraft carrier with the aircraft carrier the Doru dora being commissioned (equivalent of OTL basically) being the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the world's largest aircraft carrier too, thus cementing Nippon's position as the world's strongest navy not Russia. Nippon's space programme continues as the programme team up with the Sumitomo group to send into space the world's first active communications satellite. Another two reconnaissance satellites are sent into space along with another weather satellite too. The Furukawa zaibatsu invent the audio cassette and the Mitsubishi group invents silicon breast implants. Toshiba invent the world's first video game Uchū sensō (Space War, yes this is based on OTL Spacewar), they then go on to release a computer game version of noughts & crosses (tic, tac, toe to you Americans) and tennis game (OTL  basically). Also Nipponese stationary company, achieves great fame after the felt/fiber-tip pen is invented by Yukio Horie, the owner of Pentel.
 * Didn't we say no Technology before its time? the thing with the Tsar bomb...nice meta gaming there...did you not notice "Project Big Ivan/Ivan the Terrible". And also, Fallout would reach Russian populated area...Aka it would be a declaration of Nuclear war...first you steal Sputnik by having the same design, and now you Stole the Tsar Bomb! Wait two more years until 1963 like it was actualy done as was done with Sputnik. Unlike Russia, Nippon has no project to create the Tsar bomb...just saying.
 * The Tsar bomba was invented in 1961, so it is not "technology ahead of its time". If they are contaminating Russia with nuclear fallout, then it could lead to nuclear war...
 * I have H-bombs, they are being improved upon to make a new class of H-bomb equivalent to which was done in 1962, a year after it was done in OTL which was 1961. Blowing up the bomb there is the safest place in the Nipponese empire. Nippon are planning on giving up their nuclear base in the Commonwealth of Eetoria & Nganinkeha to have a nuclear testing site in their own nation. Anyway before you start on Nippon for contaminating Russia, you might want to do something about the contaminating of Russia by your own bombs. No one has said a thing about nuclear fallout in this game so far, so to start a war over something which hasn't even been properly looked into and researched seems fairly implausible. And populated Russian areas? It's Siberia, it's hardly Moscow levels of population. the effects won't be noticed for decades. Its gonna hit Nipponese territory too, but you want to start a war over something which is virtually unknown in the game world and takes years for effects to appear anyway? Do something about all the irradiated Russians caused by your own efforts before starting a war you won't win. Also meta-gaming? I'm inventing things as they're invented in OTL, when else am I meant to invent them?
 * Sorry...I got the bomb mixed up with something else...and oh wait...things are coming and Russia will supercede you one way or another....let's hope we don't start nuclear winter by detonating 100 MT! Also, Russia blew up their bombs in the near-unpopulated north, mostly in the Northern Novaya Zemlya archipelago and a phew in Kazakhstan in the very beginning...discovering Nuclear Glass! The bomb site is so dangerously close to Russian Territory. 
 * Chamoru amp up the military and the Chamorro pharmaceutical company Norratsu develop Ketamine as a derivative of phencyclidine. Ketamine testing and investigations demonstrate that ketamine's shorter duration of action and lesser psychomimetic profile make it favourable over PCP as a "dissociative" anesthetic.
 * The Nipponese Dominion of Shuubudan amp up their military and the nation bans most drugs used for non-medical purposes (i.e. getting high). The Hippuzu movement people begin to leave Shuubudan to live in more drug tollerant nations, a lot of them move to Chamoru, the commonwealth of Eetoria & Ngainkeha, Nippon and Wonderlaand as their drug policies are a lot more lenient than Shuubudan's.
 * Calls for Sunda to join the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō grow as the economy severely contracts and the country desperately needs bailout loans after years of over-spending.
 * The Saigyō ambassador to Sunda Mr Abdul Muntaqim offers Sunda the chance to join the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō. The confederacy will bail out Sunda, and the two nations shall join together with Sunda - a nation of the confederacy.
 * Sunda accepts and begins preparations to join the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō.
 * The military forces are amped up in the USA, Songone and Muisica as modernization programme continues, focusing mostly on the navy and air forces of the USA. The Federation of the America's nations continue to become more closely tied economically, and more powers are given to the federation parliament; the formation of the superstate is planned to take place next year as the USA, Muisica and Songone join together to form the Federation of the Americas. The federation parliament ask the other American nations when they will be ready to join the new superstate.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the Commonwealth continue to negotiate with Austria to try and solve the problem of Austria infringing on the territorial claims of the Commonwealth. This seems to be taking the form of the Commonwealth buying the Austrian colony.
 * Wonderlaand finishes rebuilding itself following the war, andPpresident Einar Hulda organises a referendum to join Scandinavia next year. He does this to bring all of Wonderlaand round to the idea as he battles against the anti-unionists, anti-Denmark Swedish nationalists and those who think this will damage Wonderlaand's close relations with its Asian allies like Nippon and the Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha.
 * You can't join Scandinavia. You are too far away. 
 * Mauritius amps up their military and continues breeding Dodos on a large scale, as the global Dodo trade spreads worldwide as Dodos are now farmed in almost every developed nation, albeit not on the same large scale of chickens and other more popular poultry birds.
 * Kongo expands by 50,000 square kilometers to the south.
 * Bharat funds more money into its army, and this helps to manufacture advanced tanks. They are also proud that the countries with the second and third largest fleets are fighting each other for the higher spot, and cannot compete with Bharat itself, as it builds the largest battleship(s) in the world, followed by creating more aircraft carriers, almost as large as Nippon's flagship. Bharat also churns out the first of its own nuclear submarines with ICBMs. These can operate anywhere in the world. B.A.S.A continues sending more weather satellites over the planet, and the tests begin to show more progress. A satellite is also launched to orbit the moon then return to Earth with information. It returns and tells scientists a lot about the moon and its composition. B.A.S.A's rocket is finished this year. It is too late to beat the other powers into space, but it does manage to get Bharati Astronauts into space nonetheless. It sets the record for getting the first women into space. War of the Worlds! is on its last year of being aired, it is a regret, but its run has been very successful. Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabi Bahu Thi continues to be aired as people continue watching it. The BBC continues to cover all the launches into space and proudly report on the first Bharatis going into space. HP Computers make more progress this year. HP computers continue to make good progress on CGI technology. The Times continues to spread, and expands services. Tata's Aircorps begin to design better helicopters. Gunships helicopters continue to be produced, while bigger transport helicopters are almost ready to be produced. The Manhav Desai F-4 Bhoot continues to be produced and more of the F-4's get delivered to the air force. The fighter is designed into a fighter-bomber varient as well. More are ordered as wars seem on the horizon. The Prince begins to spend more time in Finland. The Nuclear Agency watches over the stock-piling of nuclear bombs. They continue to research the properties of nuclear power for commercial use. ICBMs begin to be produced in large numbers with atomic warheads. The colonies declare independence. They bring back troops from Onguayal, while amp up to invade the small former Spanish colony for Bengal.
 * Bengal's Aparthied continues to be set up. To keep control, the military is amped up. The colony in South Africa is expanded by 48800km in every direction. Meanwhile, Benagl amps up for a campaign in its colony. Meanwhile, its small enclave in Bharat begins asking to join the country [Bharat] and does not want to be a Bengali colony anymore.
 * Afganistan's army continues training hard in war games. The team of scientists continue their research. The population redistribution continues. More oil and gas are extracted.
 * Onguayal work on their army and continue industrializing. More of Onguayal's fleet continues to be upgraded and Onguayal expands 45000km. Onguayal declares the war over, retreating from Fjordlaander territory angrily. The knew they would have won if the SLD had not intervined, and are not happy. Onguayal ask Bharat if they could help in their space and
 * The three Australian states declare the Federation of Australia along with the main state of Australia. They take most of their national matters into their hands, although they continue to green the desert and grow crops with the extra rainfall. Bharat recognises this new Federation bids them good luck.
 * Sindu begins to experience independence movements of its own this year as the Australian colonies declare independence. Therefore, the colony only expands (1150 [using grey expansion] * 7 * 1.5 * 3 * 1.5 [next to civil chaos]) 54350km. It seems that extra land for farming has helped expand the country, through the movements.

1963
''' Iran declares total independence from the Caliphate's influence. Due to their dislike of the theocratic caliphate, Iran establishes a secular nation, though still fairly authoritarian. The parts of the French West African colony that were once part of Mali declare their independence from France. Tuareg expands to the north until it doubles its size. Meanwhile, massive pro-independence protests are held on the OTL Nigerian coast against Bharati rule. '''

 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen makes more neutral policies, and soon releases a new law that officially turns the Finnish Imperial Military, and reorganises and turns it into the Finland Self-Defence Forces (so now basically the Finnish military will be like otl ). Kyllikki Komeiji and Sonja Komeiji welcome the new law, and hope that Finland can be in peace for many years to come. Empress Orvokki Komeiji however is a bit worried about the idea, but is soon heavily convinced by Sonja Komeiji so she then agrees to it, which Empress does, and so she then gladly accepts this new change. The huge motorway system continues being built in Finland, along with liikennevalot. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building cars and military equipment (tanks, weapons, etc.) while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues to making phones. Meanwhile Liitto Kansainvälisen Auto/Kokusai Jidōsha Renmei (国際自動車連盟) hosts the fifth season of Kaava Yksi in Finland, Saigyō, Nippon, Bhārat, Eesti Vabariik, and Shuubudan.

Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik more roads and motorway are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy bit more.

'''Also, there is no Ternate. It was the Republic of Kazami, and had been a puppet of Finland/Kōshi/Saigyō for a while until 1950, in which the Republic of Kazami joined Saigyō.'''
 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. President Ano Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää, continues to interpret the Juche idea, into account. President Ano Aaltonen sends a copy of his blueprint of the Juche Tower to Käwäshiro. By the 4th month, President Ano Aaltonen releases his Juche ideology book, containing all the stuff about Juche, and it is soon released in both Mystiää and Käwäshiro. By the 9th month, he decides he had enough of these little Pahangers and declares war on them; he states that they are a bunch of capitalist pigs, and filled with snobbish rich people who steal from the poor, and are filled with corporate greed.

More research on computers and digital technology becomes a high priority goal for Austria and for Austria to capitalize on the Market from Digital Tech. Austria prepares for War as the OCI sends more Agents to Paris and over occupied regions of France by the Collectivist as they try to foil and bring down Rebel group in France.
 * China's military is expanded as the nation adds to its nuclear stockpile. As tensions rise, China urges diplomacy as opposed to war. It also expands its colony in North America by 63000km (2000 * 7 * 1.5 * 3) into the uncivilized areas
 * Dongfang also expands this year by 45,000km (10000 * 3 * 1.5 - for all the trees and forests). More of this expansion is focused on the Baja California strip, along with making the connection between California and Central American Dongfang larger. The military is also amped up due to the threat of war.
 * Pahang continues a massive military build-up along the northern border. They contact Saigyō and ask for an alliance to be made between the two nations, as a global war seems to be brewing and the Pahangese do not wish to be caught without an ally.
 * Saigyō Foreign Minister Utsuho Niemelä brings the message back from Shogun Hazuki Mikkola, saying that she accepts the offer of alliance from Pahang.

Ge empire player - bizantium player please someone highlight me on the map with the two specific colors please
 * New Maya works on establishing communications between their two halves. They also improve native rights.
 * Calora's economy takes a tumble, which allows a semi-collectivist government, headed by Giacomo Paserelli, to take control of the nation.
 * Italy continues building up nuclear power, it now has the largest amount of nuclear power generators of any nation in Europe (as they are the only European nation that has worked on this at all). Italy also is afraid of war. They contact their good old ally Vietnam and ask them if they are going to join a side in this conflict, as the Italians do not wish to go to war against Vietnam, their oldest friend. Italy helps Savoy and Burgundy build themselves up. Many Italians hope that Savoy will rejoin Italy, an action which certainly seems likely.
 * If you read my past posts you will see Wales also has done a nuclear power build up, your nation is not the only one using them for generators. Wales has almost 5Andr3w777 (talk) 17:57, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I hadn't seen that, but in any case, Italy is like 6 times the size of Wales so they would have more anyways.
 * Scandinavia builds nuclear power reactors following Italy's designs and three more ICBM submarines. Six new aircraft carriers are built. Troops begin to withdraw from France seeing that they are losing and the King states that the French Royal Family in exile can stay in Scandinavia, closer to France. Scandinavian intelligence decides that a war with Asia is imminent and alliance offers are sent out to the remains of Germany, Austria, Czechland, Breslau, and Hungary in case of war. Scandinavia launches the Scandinavia XIII as the last satellite of the Scandinavia program. The Luna program continues and two rovers are sent to the moon to explore the mass. The States Funeral of former Regent Harald VIII takes place and has the greatest assembly of government officials ever.
 * The first Lunar Rovers were deployed in 1970, however it is possible to have the Luna 8 or Luna 9 type probe achieve a soft landing and relay Lunar data and collect some samples, take pictures while in orbit before using Lunar gravity to slingshot to earth!
 * Austrian Diplomacy: Austria Agrees to the alliance offers.
 * Actually these are not OTL rovers, that's just what they're called. Think of these as OTL Ranger 8 and 9 and the such.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth cancels the referendum until after the war. The Security Directorate has concluded war is imminent with the Asian powers and sends out offers of alliance to all nations in Europe. Offers of alliance are also sent to Collectivist France, as the near war is bad for all of Europe. Also alliance offers are sent to Vietnam, along with a plea to not join Nippon and Bharat in their foolish war.The PM asks Italy to remain on the European side in the conflict as they are a European nation, and are at just as much risk as the other European nations. The 5th fleet is returned to Wales, and has began to setup defensive parameters around Welsh holdings. As a security measure, the heavily fortified Welsh/British border is supported with tanks, anti-aircraft guns and a large military reserve. all inter Isles travel is postponed after a severe train wreck near the border caused by a drunk railworker. The PM attends Regent Harald's Funeral and has stated it was one of the most sad he's ever been to. All alliance and trade networks with Nippon and Bharat are cancelled. Victor electronics SECRETLY still continues trade with Nippon against government regulations. The Socialist Party wins seats in the General Assembly. Galaxy III and IV are launched at the same time, one is a space weather satellite, the other is officially an Earth weather satellite- but is really and SECRETLY a spy satellite dedicated to watching the troop movements in the East. Project Excalabur continues with renewed vigor.
 * Nippon is shocked and appalled at the Brythonic Commonwealth's actions and condemns the nation for souring relations and making attempts at diplomacy much more difficult.
 * The Vietnamese start funding their own space program, which they intend to use for only communication purposes. They have plans to start launching satellites within a few years. The joint Nipponese-Vietnamese nuclear program has allowed the Vietnamese to build at least five nuclear power stations. The Kenians expand their country westwards. Zanzibar expands their country westwards.
 * The Neolithuanians continue expanding their industry throughout their country. The Neolithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 238*50 sq km.
 * Taiwanese continue to expand their industry throughout their country. They expand the New Taihoku colony by 238*50 sq km.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their industry throughout their country.

 * The Tangierans continue to expand their industry into the newly annexed territory. They continue their efforts to convert the Muslim Moroccans to the Roman Catholic church.
 * The Russians test-launch their new rocket design: the Proton rocket. This rocket, capable of being converted into a Super-ICBM, with the capability of Launching a 100+ Megaton warhead over 13 000km. Although The Rocket fails and is far form perfect, it has the potential of being he most reliable heavy launch system in the world. Russia sends sufficient funds towards the Excalubur programme. The Voskhod programme does not launch another human into orbit, due to funding being redirected to creating new rockets and Luna probes, as well as secretly Launching satellites to monitor the East. Russia builds more Missile silos, and works on perfecting the Proton Rocket's design. The Russians build more Aircraft carriers, none of them are nuclear however, The HIHS Lermontov(Helicopter Carrier), HIHS Admiral Andrei Popov, HIHS Kontr-Admiral(Rear Admiral) Pavel Pereleshkin, and the Nuclear-powered HIHS Admiral Grigori Spiridov. A new type of Nuclear powered Supercarrier is being planned(is going to be equivelant to OTL Nimitz class, the Samoderzhavets-class). The air force is updated and more roads are constructed. Heavy Metal gains popularity, as a new band, akin to the OTL beatles gians popularity, the Metal Style also gains popularity. Graphic Novels have finaly gotten an official recognitoin as a form of literature.

 * Rock gains popularity on Hungary.Meanwhile, Ezsák-Afrika expands.the military continues being updated.
 * Newfoundland expands 84000 sq km.
 * Ge Empire Continues expanding to the Northern Unclaimed domains and try set relation ships with outside nations, Like Italy, Spain and bizantium(hey someone add me please to the map im in the game again
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs most of the new bombs being Ennetsu V2 class, some of these new bombs are designed to yeild more than 100 megatons but Nippon decides not to test them in case the explosion is so big northern Kamochatoka prefecture becomes completely inhabitable. Nippon produces more nuclear submarines and more aircraft carriers including another Kyodai kigyō class aircraft carrier, and the INN also complete another 2 Yamato class battleships. Nippon's space programme continues as 2 new reconnaissance satellites are sent into space, mostly to spy on the Europeans. Nipponese astronught Hideki Kyoutoyoma becomes the first man to walk in space, while he films the experience with a camera, the clip is glorified in the Nipponese media, especially Mr Kyoutoyoma's accompanying words in the footage: "If you look up, there are no limits, but silence surpasses speech." The Nipponese space programme begins planning for a lunar landing in the next couple of years, a probe is sent to map the moon to find a suitable landing spot. He returns home to a hero's welcome and Toshiba invent the compact disk and hypertext as Toshiba continue to supply nearly all universities in Asia with computers making company profits more than double its nearest European rivals. Mitsui's textile division invents kevlar and begins to sell kevlar vests to the Nipponese special police forces. Soft contact lenses invented by Mitsubishi and the Nishio Sugar Company invent & release their own line of artificial sweeteners. Astroturf is invented by the Satsuma Corporation as an alternative to real grass pitches in inner city sport venues for football, rugby, cricket and other sports. The Nipponese band the Wandering Ronin (OTL Rolling stones) finds great success in Nippon's music industry and begin touring in other Asian nations.
 * Russia has already had a space walk you ARE NOT the first
 * When did Russia do this exactly? I looked at the Russian post for 1965 and didn't see any mention of a space walk. The first space walk was in 1965 and if Russia did this before 1965 then your breaking the rules. Anyway I suspect you did it before 1965 then, meaning that it would be voided as your doing it before it happened in OTL, meaning that Nippon was first.
 * EDIT: Yeah I looked you did it in 1964, a year earlier than it happened in OTL meaning it gets voided and Nippon is first.
 * Chamoru amp up the military and the Chamorro pharmaceutical company Norratsu's top opticians invent soft contact lenses and other engineers at Norratsu improve upon the iron lung to create the respirator.
 * The Nipponese Dominion of Shuubudan amp up their military and the nation begins to call for peace in the world as nuclear war would set back the growth of the human race decades.

Crown Princess Marie succeeds in escaping to the French colony in Africa, where she declares the independance of the Kingdom of Guinée. She is crowned Queen Marie I of Guinée in a lavish ceremony in Accra. '''
 * Corrected as the Fench colony is nowhere near the Niger River, and has no parts of OTL Nigeria.it is mostly on OTL Ghana and Ivory Coast.

''' The government if Itsaygahi is overthrown by the Tsalagi Independence Front, which destroys the theocratic Islamic Itsaygahi government to establish the secular Tsalagi Republic. The revolution also grants them dominance over the small state between them and Mixxixxippi. The Tsalagi Republic controls all of the main Itsaygahi nation save for the Floridan peninsula, which is controlled by Seminole. Seminole and Oyaho both remain under Islamist control. '''
 * Scandinavia launches Venera 1, and it reaches Venus by the end of the year, being the first manmade thing to land on another planet. From the Arctic Islands Venera 2 is also launched. Luna 11 is launched from Svalbard and it enters lunar orbit.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth launches Maria I a space vessel named after the recently deceased Queen Maria of Denmark, formerly Princess of Wales. The Maria I is an experimental probe that is expected to land on the moon's surface near the Sea of Tranquility. The military is beefed up even more as threats of war still loom. Elections are held this year with former general Alexander Volus, the Socialist Party leader, winning majority of the vote. His first act of office is to open a direct line to the Nipponese government in an effort to establish more postive relations to hopefully avoid a world war. The Government of Nigeria is offically recongnized as is the People's Republic of France. Trade offers and an alliance pact is sent to both nations. The referedum on joining the Republic of Britain is still on hold pending a reply from the Nipponese on their intentions. The worst Hurricane on record, Hurricane Delia strikes the west coast of Wales, luckly Ireland took most of the damage. As a gesture of good will the Red Cross is sent to Ireland to help with the recovery. Plans continue to merge the Big Three alliance into one confederation of states called Pan Europa. Referendums are sent to Scandinavia and Russia on the vote.
 * Nippon rejects the idea of the Brythonic Commonwealth, Nippon demands that Brythonic Commonwealth apologize and things go back to how they were before the Brythonic Commonwealth cut ties with Nippon. Nippon demands trade concessions from the Brythonic Commonwealth too, as compensation from the Brythonic Commonwealth for nearly starting a world war too.
 * Oh hate to break it to you but the Brythonic Commonwealth has been our name since the 50's, where have you been? Just because we hold an election and the Socialist party, NOT COLLECTVIST takes power for 4 years is no reason to" reject the idea of the Brythonic Commonwealth" Also you can forget any trade reparations
 * What on Earth are you talking about? The idea I was referring to was "opening a direct line to the Nipponese government in an effort to establish more postive relations to hopefully avoid a world war." Hence I then said Nippon wants things to go back to how they were before the Brythonic Commonwealth cut ties with Nippon, you know, what the commonwealth did last turn? Nippon clearly stated Nippon was shocked and appalled at the Brythonic Commonwealth's actions to cut ties with Nippon and then condemned the commonwealth for souring relations and making attempts at diplomacy much more difficult. The Brythonic Commonwealth started this whole problem after the Brythonic Commonwealth randomly decided to cut ties with Nippon. Nippon is hurt by the Brythonic Commonwealth's actions towards them and wants to be compensated in the form of trade concessions as the Brythonic Commonwealth nearly started a world war over nothing! You have much to learn about spying and strategy my friend. ~VON
 * I am sorry I mis understood this part "Nippon rejects the idea of the Brythonic Commonwealth" I thought you were criticsizing my gov't and where does spying and strategy com into play? I cut ties with you because you seemed to be on your merry way to cause World War, how is one nation breaking ties with you, threatening World War? I did not threaten you. I was afraid of a suprise attack against my allies, so I pre-empitvely responded. I apologize for the confusion. We will pay trade reparations as a gesture of good faith.
 * The Collectivist Government wins the election in Neue Brandenburg, and slowly begins to reduce government control over cooperatives.
 * In the Caribbean Federation, Ricasolia begins a motion to merge the Federation into the Federation of the Americas.

 * Mauritius amps up their military and continues breeding Dodos on a large scale. Mini skirts become popular with young women in the country too.
 * The Russian Military develops and puts into service the first Hypersonic Stealth Spyplane, The Tupoleev Tu-208 "Chernaya Strela"(black Arrow, OTL SR-71 blackbird). Three Tu-208s are constructed and put into active service, and an in-air refueling system is developed. this is the fastest plane to date. The Russian Governement works some more on the "Samoderzhavets" initiative. Work is done to perfect the Proton Rocket deesign, and work is done to make a prototype Lunar Lander from The Succesful Luna-9 models that are one of the only vehicles to succesfuly land on an extraterrestrial surface. Ajustments are done to The Probes to take into account Humans and their need for space. A newer, more spacious module is made and a proton Rocket is modified to succesfuly send a man and a lander to the moon. Meanwhile, The Soyuz(Unity, Union, or other variatons thereof in Danish or welsh are acceptable for the name in the respective programmes) proggrame has a headstart as the protoype module is launched into orbit, Later, Using advanced robotics, the Sputnik-Korabl 11 and 12, tests for the docking in the Soyuz craft. They are a success, and he new ejection system is tested, although a bit less reliable, it can usualy work. Meanwhile, a sad day is underway in russia, as the lead Rocket Pioneer, koroloev, tragicaly dies of cancer, and is postumorously promoted from Colone and awarded the rank of Generalissimo of the Russian Imperial Armed Forces, hearby giving him the right to the ranks of Admiral of the Russian Fleets (Probably in order to name an aircraft Carrier after him), and Grand Air Marshal of the VVF (air force) and was inducted into the order of Saint Andrew, in honor of his servicein getting russia into space. The Sikorsky 15 training jets are officialy put out of service, and sold for scraps or recycled to make newer jets. Work on the exalibur project continues, as the Russians launch five newly designed "Sablya" probes, that are meant to immitate meteor strikes, officially to examine the possible explinaitons to the Tunguska event, many of the scientific community believe to be casue by an asteroid strike making an arial burst, and examine if an object can strike the earth in such a way not to produce a crater. (Don't say this didn't happen, because it is an exernal event, probably an asteroid hitting the earth! there is nothing anyone could have done to affect that as we can not control space!). The Sablya satellites, however have another, more secret purpose, only known to the top-ranked officials in Russia, and even then only on a need-to-know basis including the late Korolev, making the ammount of people who know 8, excluding the Royal family, and the secret is not revealed on paper, and only in confidential rooms verbaly, as to make it harder to make it revealed through espionage. The True purpose of the Sablya probes is to act as orbital weapons platforms, and the tests were realy to test their accuracy when deployed from orbit, and how much a pure-impact from space would make, and one of the probes had a large-yield vacuum bomb, s to test the aerial burst theory and was actualy to test if it is possible an asteroid caused tunguska as its primary purpose. all Sablya probes landed within 1-2.25 km of their goals after orbit, proving it possibe to lauch directed weapons from satellites in orbit. It is published in all scientific journals that Tests with the Areal burst bomb prove inconclusive as it was detonated way to high to provide any reasonable data or effects to prove any theory, although the possibility is much more supported now that a little more eidence is brought forth. The no-bomb satellites failed to explode on their own, or did so during early stages of re-entry, proving that some external events were needed to initiate the areal burst that theoreticaly might have casued Tunguska. The Rusisan military builds more nuclear warheads, and nuclear ICBM subs. work on nuclear Jets begins everywhere. Russia has over 15 000 nuclear warheds, and 20 000 nukes. Work on the Ostankino Tower in Moscow begins.
 * Whoa whoa whoa, my Venera 1 landed on another planet way before your Luna 9 so it wasn't the only thing on extraterrestrial surfaces.
 * ​It was still part of the joint space programme, correct? so it was designed form the same model as the Luna 9.
 * What are you talking about? You said "Luna-9 models that are one of the only vehicles to succesfuly land on an extraterrestrial surface." Actually forget it, you corrected it by saying "one of the only" so it's all good now.
 * Your last part there is a aprt of my Project Excalabur plan, remember. Your ok I just wanted to let everyone elso know that all three of us are doing this. and it is led by the Brythonic Commonwealth
 * ​yes it is. and I said only 8 people knew. I didnt know i had to specify it wasn't only russians becasuse I though everyone knew that all three of us was working on it. Only the highest ranking officials know of theri true purpose, and even the ones responsible for the lanch think it was to test tunguska event theories.

The Gukigujun network is encrypted by the strongest Toshiba code making machines, making the codes impossible to cipher without the key. Toshiba then develop the Toshiba Network using the same tech as Gukigujin, so Toshiba's computers could all be connected on a network to share data between computers, making team projects much easier. Not wanting to be out-done by Toshiba, Fujitsu announce their new multitasking, multi-user computer operating system known as FUOSU (OTL Unix).

''' Intelligence is leaked revealing that it was not the Nipponese government to attach the Toshiba device to the Russian rocket, but in fact an ultra-nationalist, anti-Nipponese Russian group, hoping the loss of the record could make Russia go to war with Nippon.  No, that is before it was done in OTL, the first space station was which was in 1971.'''

 * Kongo expands as far south as they can towards the former Russian colony. They send supplies to help Hanover. As their constitution states that their king is the king of Dravidia, and Dravidia is kingless, they become a republic.
 * Italy condemns the Russian destruction of the Nipponese landing site as being a childish action. Italy boycotts goods coming from the Russian Commonwealth in protest of this ridiculous behavior. That really is childish of you Lx and Scrawland. I'm tempted to have Italy and a bunch of the rest of my nations join the Asian side because of this. Also, you cannot control the government of other nations, which saying that another nations sabatoged yours is.
 * Excuse me, our posts are the same exact thing when it comes to space nation. I only wrote that because Lx wrote that. ~ Scraw
 * Hey, Russia only ripped the flagpole off the ground... and a proclamation that the Russian emperor has sovreignty of the moon, made by the Cosmonauts... knowing very well that it would be considered bogus, even perhaps by the emperor himself. 
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs - most of the new bombs being Ennetsu V2 class. The motorway network continues to be built and the Shinkansen project continues too, as travelling around Nippon continues to get easier. Nippon's space programme sends a new team of astronauts to the moon to replace all of the European flags with Nipponese ones, the other Asian flags are left alone. Nippon claims sovereignty over most of the moon as they were first and are willing to negotiate dividing the moon up between the world space fairing nations, but after witnessing the childish actions of destroying Nipponese flags on the moon by Russia & Scandinavia, Nippon excludes the two nations from the talks dividing the moon between the space going nations of the world. The world's first Jumbo Jet goes into service with Onozuka Airways. Toshiba invents the floppy disk and the daisy-wheel printer too. Toshiba also hosts the world's first computer chess tournament, with the Toshiba computers easily winning the competition. Nippon sends more troops to Hanover easily destroying the Russian blockade with the superior INN forces, and thanks to the influx of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to support Hanover, the invading Scandinavians are easily pushed back. Nippon establishes military bases in Hanover as part of the plan to protect Hanover from further attacks from Scandinavia.
 * Mmm hmm. You just look at the algorithm and forget about your "pushing us back."
 * Also, I just copied what Lx said about his astronauts. Don't blame a single thing on Scandinavia. And this show of revenge is equally childish compared to Lx's destruction of your flag. Also Russia claimed sovereignty over the moon first.
 * In response to Nippon's childish actions (you actually told your astronauts to do it, ours did it out of their own free will) Scandinavia sends the Artemis 14 crew to take every single man made object off of the moon, European property included, and astronaut Oscar Grek states no nation should ever have any rights over the moon and that it should be a spectacle in the heavens for all of humanity to enjoy.


 * The Bharatis will become furious if any of their or Chinese things are touched.
 * Read what I said again. Especially this part: "no nation should ever have any rights over the moon and that it should be a spectacle in the heavens for all of humanity to enjoy."
 * Bharat's populace grow crazy. They state that the flags and the picture was testimony to hardwork. No nation deserves the right to do what they think is right to another nation's symbols and property, and all this is happening because two nations do not want to get along. They go back to the moon (In Narayan 13) and put all those things back on the moon, along with a Dravidian and Afghani flag (as well as the UKH's flag).
 * This is really starting to get frustrating. I was trying to make peace. Are you seriously going to keep going back and forth with us? Dude, this is the 1960s! Peace and prosperity! The Cold War was a war of words, not a war of weapons. And I think Bharat's government and populace in general does not understand plausibility.
 * Lx, whose space programme is also yours since they are a single project, says that: "They film themselves ripping the Nipponese flag off the ground, and replacing it with a decleration on the surface of the moon, stating that the Russian Emperor's title now includes "Supreme Lord of Luna" (Verkhovniy Gosudar Luniy"." Having the Russian emperor gain the title of Supreme Lord of Luna is a clear indication that the government told them to do it & they are reaping the benefits. They also choose to air the footage rather than not to show the footage & condemn their astronauts for that sort of behaviour. No apology was given either from the supposedly ignorant government who are trying to stop a war, and then they go and do it again! Then you claim it isn't your fault because LX did it, well if you feel so strongly about it, why didn't you not copy it and say you don't support that sort of behaviour? No, you just went along with it, an accessory to Nipponese flag murder if you will. Also if you disagree with it so much, why did you make up some crap about Nippon sabotaging your rocket too? Also if you want to talk plausibility, how has Denmark not fallen into a huge depression after all this overspending on its military, nuclear weapons and space programme? The likes of China, Russia, Nippon and Bharat have large enough populations, economies and natural resources to be able to facilitate this sort of stuff; Scandinavia clearly does not, let alone Wales ~Von
 * ​Hey hey hey...who aired the footage...WHO aired the footage... I wrote nothing about it getting aired in Russia...at all. Stop Spreading Lies and The Space program has speding from Russia, and Russian resources are used for the construction of Rockets...and we have one economic zone between Wales, Denmark and Russia..so basicaly Russia is preventing them form being destroyed. 
 * You film a lunar landing and decide not to show it to people? Okay, makes sense. So if no one knew, then why did you do it? Why post about it at all? Your argument still doesn't answer the fundamental question of why you did it.
 * Whoa Whoa Whoa, Wales has not directly built anything for space in several turns. Also Wales is a Russian Commonwealth nation, their wealth is our wealth. Lately we've been cutting back. Did you not see the post were the government changed because of the slowing economy?
 * 'I don't know, why don't you ask Lx about the whole flag stuff. Also it's either I copy it or not mention it at all. Also Wales is in the Russian commonwealth and Russia and Scandinavia are in political union. My population is well over 25 million. My economy is the sixth in the world. And the rest of your statement, this part: "No apology was given either from the supposedly ignorant government who are trying to stop a war, and then they go and do it again!" I fail to understand. Which government are you talking about? And in case you haven't noticed, I have made several reconciliatory attempts in the last couple years but you and your pal Bharat have refused these and continued on with your imperialist ways. Also I have recently done next to nothing in regards to military buildup, as a matter of fact that's what Wales has been doing.'
 * You claim your astronauts did it of their own free will, so why didn't they get punished for something so offensive by your government? Why did your government not apologize for the rash actions of their astronauts? Why did you just do it again? ~Von
 * In case you haven't noticed,  YOU DID IT TOO.  We did it again, but again, in case you haven't noticed,  WE GOT RID OF OUR STUFF TOO . Why? In the name of world cooperation, saying that no government has control over any celestial body and that they are miracles of god for all of humanity to enjoy. And why should they get punished? It's not a crime.
 * Still doesn't explain why you just didn't apologize in the first place. Please answer my question. I mean what did you think was going to happen after you do something like that? 
 * First and foremost, why the hell don't you ask Lx? And also, I just realized  no one  would have known about this since it was not televised, you would only find out in your next landing.
 * Would you Please STOP! IT IS GETTING VERY ANNOYING. oh god I am realy REALY regreting putting that moon flag thing up in the first place right now. In my original post, Russia only ripped the flag off the ground and replacing it with a piece of paper...and only expected for Nippon to Say "No we own the moon" and it being a little-mentioned part of the larger cold war...not  THIS!!!  This is not what the game page is for...this block of text should not be here in teh frist place.
 * Chamoru amp up the military and the nation sends troops to support Hanover too.
 * The Federation of the Americas begins work to join together the various militaries of the states which make up the federation. Infrastructure continues to be joined together too. The federation begins trying to get more nations to join the new superstate, especially the Caribbean Federation & Onguayal. The Federation of the Americas regrettably informs Scandinavia that they will no longer be able to support them invading Hanover as federation military might is needed to protect the federation from a threat much closer to home. The federation pours troops (nearly the whole army) onto the Onguayal border and the federation issues Onguayal an ultimatum: give up your war warmongering ways and join the federation of the Americas to pursue a democratic expansion of ideals, or face the might of the federation's military enforcing this change upon you.
 * Scandinavia (Denmark and Sweden specifically) offer the Fed aid against Onguayal if it can aid against the Asians in Hanover.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and send military aid to help Hanover. The commonwealth's nuclear scientists continue looking to the long term effects of the nuclear bombs tested at the Commonwealth facilities, and initial results don't look good. Nagin Airship corp.'s supersonic airliner Conkrua has its first supersonic test flight this year too.
 * C'mon, I wanted to do that! :D
 * Wonderlaand amps up its military and continues to support Scandinavia on retaking Schleswig and Holstein from Hanover and sends more military aid. They do however voice concern about the Asian nations, especially Nippon, becoming angry with Wonderlaand and a new neutrality-loving political party (the nationell frihetlig neutralitet parti/national libertarian neutrality party/NFN) starts to gain popularity as they see no gain from supporting Scandinavia, just loss of Nipponese trade. The anti-Danish nationalists, who just see Scandinavia as a Danish puppet also say Wonderlaander intervention in the war is pointless as it just props up the Scandinavian/Danish regime and loses Wonderlaand valuable trade, while helping Denmark oppress more people. The anti-Danish nationalists are largely ignored though, but the NFN start to become more popular as many Wonderlaanders are tired of war, especially seeing how the last one nearly destroyed the nation.
 * Mauritius amps up their military and after being pressured by Nippon, Mauritius sends military aid to help Hanover.
 * Bharat enters a dynastic union with Finland as the Maharaja died last year. It is a sad occurence, but also a joyous one for the new Maharaja. One of his first actions is to learn how to speak Finnish more fluenty, as his current skills are rusty. One of his first "serious" actions is to pay Dravidia a visit to see the condition of the state and calm its people down. The Maharaja himself has grown weary of the UOS, and thinks about ejecting them from the space program and cutting all aid. After his visit to Dravidia, he pays a visit to Onguayal. B.A.S.A continues sending communications satellites to help communicate signals faster. More missions to the moon are launched, four in fact (Narayan 10, Narayan 11, Narayan 12, and Nayaran 13), and all land successfully. Many of them had either a Dravidians or an Afghan serving with a Chinese and Bharati crewmember. Bharat enters the division of the moon talks with Nippon, and they are also appalled at Europe's actions, stating that "heroes do not act like they did". Meanwhile, the government funds more money into its army, and this helps to manufacture advanced tanks and give the army more more modern guns and artillary. Bharat builds more battleships, followed by creating more aircraft carriers. Bharat also churns out more of its own nuclear suberines with ICBMs. HP Computers make more progress this year and HP computers continue to make good progress on CGI technology as well. Star Trek: Enterprise runs successfully, and begins the "Earth-Romulan War arc", having run successfully for seven years. Its producers announce that they will look to end the hugely popular show in a few years. The BBC continues to cover all the launches into space, and documents the landing on the moon. The Times continues to spread, and expands services. Tata's Aircorps' gunships and transport helicopters continue production. The Manhav Desai F-4 Bhoot continues to be produced and more of the F-4 get delivered to the air force. More are ordered as wars seem on the horizon. The Nuclear Agency watches over the stock-piling of nuclear bombs. ICBMs continue to be produced in large numbers with atomic warheads. Bharat also withdraws any support it had for the UOS. Bharat is also very shocked about what happened on the Russian rocket and how the European nations tried to cover it up.
 * For you to own the moon would mean that you would first have to find some way to sustain life on the moon, keep people there, and then you could claim sovereignty over parts of the moon. That won't happen until the late 2000s (decade), and only if you drop everything else regarding space and focus on that. If these are just claims like "Hi, I'm the Emperor and I own the moon," they will be largely ignored by the globe. And even so, other nations (cough Russia cough cough) already placed claims on it, so good luck with anything regarding lunar sovereignty.
 * When did I state we were going to "own" the moon? And Nippon said it in their turn, I am only confirming Bharat will be there.
 * Also this whole European covering it up business, you obviously don't understand what the mod event said. It was an anti-Nipponese group in Russia, That group framed Nippon for the crime, but further research showed who was the real perpetrator. There was no "cover up" as you may like to believe.
 * Bengal's Aparthied continues and the military is amped up. The colony in South Africa is expanded by 48800km in every direction. Meanwhile, its small enclave in Bharat is finally allowed to join up with the rest of Bharat. They ask if Bharat agrees to this.
 * Bharat happily agrees.
 * Afganistan's army continues training hard in war games. The country also amps up for an invasion and lets its returning troops rest.
 * The UOS work on their army and begin to control the amount of trees being chopped down to preserve wildlife. Onguayal expands 45000km. The UOS retreat from Tsalgi, even though they won a symbolic victory. The country's people grow tired and annoyed as its government continues wars. After a visit by the Bharati Maharaja, it seems the government might have finally been straightened out, and during elections this year, the new party which comes to power opens negociations with the Federation about joining. They finally decide on joining, and the UOS, along with Andalucia will join. This seems to be the end of a very turbulent era of Onguayali history.
 * Sindu expands 54350km and extra land for farming continues helping expand the country, through the movements. Many more hectares of farmland are created this year, along with rivers in the colony.
 * Dongfang expands 45000km in the California and Arizona regions.

 * It is a supranational organization meant to ensure world peace to the best of its abilities, to stop wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue for every member nation. A supermajority of the security council members must agree to conduct any action that will involve the whole League and the Federation will be one of these nations as it will represent the American nations in the league.

 * Bharat focuses on building better commercial aircraft and transportation ships to connect Bharat and Finland better. Many people also emigrate to Finland again to live the Finnish lifestyle and live in a country which is now in a union with Bharat. The main palace in Bharat is ordered to be extended, while the palace in Finland is to be made better and refurbished. The Finnish Defence Force is made into the Union Defense Force and Bharat sends a good percentage of its ships to become part of it while most of its navy will stay a fleet. The new Maharaja manages to top up his Finnish speaking skills, and now focuses on learning Nipponese better. The Maharaja already knows Hindi and Tamil. The efforts of the Maharaja seemed to have payed off, and the UOS seems to have settled down. On his insistence the country will join the Federation of Americas. B.A.S.A continues sending communications satellites to help communicate signals faster. More missions to the moon are launched, three this year (Narayan 14, Narayan 15, Narayan 16), and these help to explore the moon better. More of the terrain is also mapped and roamed around on, aided by the "moon buggy". Meanwhile, the government funds more money into its army, and this helps to manufacture advanced tanks and give the army more more modern guns and artillary. Bharat builds more battleships, followed by creating more aircraft carriers. Bharat also churns out more of its own nuclear submarines with ICBMs. HP Computers make more progress this year and HP computers continue to make good progress on CGI technology as well.

1972
 The northwestern part of the Bharati west African nation declares independence as the Imuhagh Republic 

''' The Vietnamese South American colony declares independance from Vietnam as the Empire of Gaiana. '''

Russia does not own Mongolia to my knowledge...something that is not part of a nation cannot declare independence.(although I could be wrong...just I don't think Russia owns enough of Mongolia for it to be sizable in population or area).


 * They sort of own the northern half, with China having the southern parts. It certainly is a stretched-out and skinny nation.


 * In OTL China still owns a large portion of Mongolia...Outer Mongolia...OTL Mongolia is just the old chinese province of Inner Mongolia...and the part Russia owns is virtualy uninhabited...way not enough to be substantial, but OK...I would like to see a map, though...just to know what I might me losing.
 * It is sort of implausible. Perhaps you could have some other small part of Russia break away? Like Evenkia, that was once independent? If you do that, I'll remove the Mongolian event.
 * Along those lines, Manchuria is part of OTL China. Why would they leave China in this timeline?
 * There is a Manchurian ethnic group. They declare independance to preserve their culture - which is effectively being killed in OTL. I can easily change it so that they declare independance from China. 


 * PM's China isn't a culturally repressive action. Besides, didn't Lurker say China didn't need to lose any more territory?
 * I agree. Yank, micronationalism doesn't mean every nation is totally torn apart. You seem especially concentrating on China. It's unfair for them to have every minority break away, and very unfair to have them have two revolts in one year for no reason. China already lost Nepal, Mughalistan, and Tibet and Turkestan. Can't we have another nation get hit?
 * Did you not read me also bringing my attention to Hungary?
 * China already has lost enough territory. I already stated that they were not going to lose any more. They already have lost plenty of territory. Target someone else.
 * I had already spent time targeting Hungary. China would still be huge even without that territory.


 * All the nations who accepted League invitations in the previous years are invited to the signing of the International League charter (OTL UN charter) as well as Nippon and China. Scandinavia begins a build up of the military. Troops are withdrawn from Hanover. Construction begins on a headquarters building for the League in Copenhagen. Finland is invited to be a permanent observer state if it wishes not to join. It is asked of Sunda to place the International Court of Human Rights under League control as it is fitting for "an International Court to be possessed by an international union," in the words of the Acting Secretary General Trygve Kien. Kien/Scandinavia asks Russia, China and Bharat to leave Manchuria, Mongolia and Imuhagh alone and asks the rest of the Permanent Security Council to support this.
 * Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen of Finland agrees for an observer state status.
 * The International Court of Human rights is already an international body. Their headquarters just happen to be in Sunda (which is now part of Saigyo). The ICHR is neutral towards all countries (including Saigyo), maintains a judicial split from any other form of government and to keep impartiality, the ICHR refuses to be taken over by the league.
 * You obviously don't get it. The ICHR seems to have misinterpreted the intentions of the IL. No one is "taking over" anyone else. The League is not biased towards anyone, so saying that joining the League is giving up impartiality is at best a lie.
 * Either way, the ICHR thinks it would be better for them to remain neutral and non-aligned with anyone or thing.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth expands industry and infrastructure. Aid is sent to Copenhagen to help construct the league building. The military is bumped down the readiness level to yellow, from its previous state orange. Orange computers expands its computer market with the Orange OS X II Mercury. Mercury is provides an advance, yet east to use GUI interface (sorta OTL Early Mac interface). The new Navel II PC is released with an Orange A2 X86 processor with 16 MHz of power, making it the most powerful processor to date. A new company called Maxwell releases a prototype "graphic processor". This first GPU is able render very well and is shipped with the Navel II. Orange also releases the Crave LS 1 supercomputer to be purchasable on the business/government market. Sanctions are levied on Collectivist nations by the General Assembly. Ambassador to the International Security Council, James Chamberlain asks the Secretary General to enact anti-Collectivist legislation internationally. Building of prototype lasers, the government begins experimenting with advanced laser technology. CGI is used in the new movie  A ttack of the S pace B ees a ridiculous animated film that is fun for the whole family. Work continues on the 007 franchise.
 * Nippon agrees with the Brythonic Commonwealth's stance and they place sanctions on Collectivist France.
 * HP Computers & Tech asks is the Commonwealth would like its help in CGI technology as they have worked long and hard to make it as good it is in Star Trek: Enterprise.
 * DreamTheatre, Orange and Everest all agree to the aid in CGI technology, they thank HP for the offer.
 * The Commonwealth also asks permission to set up an Orange Computers store and factories in Bharat, of course you are allowed a share in profits.
 * HP is fine with it. They would, however, like HP to give priority for CGI animation next time as they do reckon they are the best in the world. Bharat also allows Orange computers into the country gladly, hoping it will increase international trade.
 * That is acceptable we will give HP priority in our next film called Battlestar Galatica.
 * Austria (Greater German Federation): Austria merges with Bavaria and Brandenburg (If I can, yet) to form the Greater German Federation. With the GGF Formed, the government takes over healthcare and social and fiscal issues with the monarchy becoming more than relics, a new government is formed with parliaments from Berlin, Munich and Vienna creating a Representative Government and new elections are being held to elect the First President of Greater Germany. Jobs open up and are created to help German citizens. Military, tech, infrastructure and economy is updated.
 * I'm going to take it I merged with Bavaria and Brandenburg. -Althistoryman11
 * Alsatia increases taxes in Lothringen and spends the extra money on making new churches and any extra money is given to the churches. A new military sect is made that is made up of monks and nuns that are equipped with standard military sniper rifles and an ornamental rapier-like sword for ceremonial purposes.
 * I am Alsatia and I have some questions about my country: What is its culture, language, religion and bordering countries?
 * Alsatia was once Flanders and other German states near by, you're near the OTL French border.
 * That doesn't really help because I need what I said - not where I am.
 * Wales sends an alliance request to Alsatia.
 * Alsatia excepts the alliance offer and asks for a trade pact with them.
 * Alsatia is invited to the IL. (UN equivalent.)
 * You are Japanese culture, religion, etc etc, because they were once a Jap colony.
 * Nooooo. That's Flanders. Alsatia was formerly part of France, but declared independance during the French government's inactivity. You are OTL Alsace-Lorraine plus Germany's Rhineland regions. Their culture is mostly Germanic, with a veneer of French. Their languages are Franconian and German. Their religions are Roman Catholic and Waldensian. 
 * But what do I border?Willster22 (talk)
 * You border Burgundy, Switzerland, France, Bavaria, Hanover and Flanders
 * Is anyone here able to edit the map so my nations are on it? Or are you going to wait till 1990?
 * It's going to be on the 1975 map if you post consistantly enough to elicit a distinct colour. 
 * The color code in RGB is: R: 132 G: 21 B: 42.
 * Alsatia is primarily a mixture of French and German in culture. Their primary language would be French, with the Alsatian language still surviving and a German minority. The religion would be primarily Waldensian Christian, with a Catholic minority.
 * Alsatia accepts its invitation into the IL.
 * Greater German Federation: GGF offers Alliance and Trade agreement.
 * Alsatia accepts the alliance offer with much pleasure.

The VR Group with help from Nippon, continues the Onozuka project. Utsuho Reiuji, Soilikki Mikkola, Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku continue to gain more popular each day; some more fan manga are made; and are also used in some more advertisements. One fan manga has Youmu Konpaku challenging some Yakuza to a street race around the mountain side in the Himalayas, and in it many Yakuza members die in some ways, and in the end Youmu Konpaku is the victor and kills the rest of the Yakuza that tried to fight her because she won. Toshiaki Maijala continues to be very popular with his Regē music and goes to Saigyō for another tour. Also, Fúziós Jazz becomes popular in Finland. Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik more roads and motorways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more.

President Janika Erkkilä has more military equipment built, and continues to improve the economy. Premier Mauno Miyako continues his Kulttuurivallankumous plan throughout the nation. The Käwäshironian Cartels continue selling illegal drugs in remote locations and make some huge money. Soon a few Koronkiskuri (Loan Shark) is established in the nation, by the Käwäshironian Cartels. Later, Aukusti Elo, creates his own manga, called Pinta-ala 53 (Area 53) and the main charater is Flandre Scharlaken (otl Flandre Scarlet, though without the wings, and with very dark blueish hair), a secret agent that is anti-communist, and the manga features many anti-communist ideals among other things. Soon the manga becomes banned in Käwäshiro but it remains popular with the democratic people who are hiding in Käwäshiro. It also gains some popularity in Finland and Saigyō.


 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs including the new Ennetsu V3 class. The motorway network continues to be built and the Shinkansen project continues too, as travelling around Nippon continues to get easier. Nippon's space programme once again proposes to the other Asian space powers, that they create a joint space station to be used as research facility and stuff. The space programme sets out building the space station but adds features allowing other space stations to join up to it, hoping that the final Asian space station will be large one with all the other nation's stations all joined up. Toshiba invents the word processor so that Toshiba employees could make documents and save them on the computers for future reference/use. Toshiba also create their own version of the pong video game and release the first scientific hand-held calculator too. Nippon host the Winter Sporting Games (not sure if we had established the winter Olympic games so I made something new up) in Sapporo, as winter sportsmen & women come to battle it out in a range of winter sports. Nippon also denounces the collectivist regime in France, and calls on other nations in the world to help Nippon liberate France from the collectivists and make France a constitutional monarchy again. The so-called "heir to the French throne" living in Nippon, turns out to be a big fat phoney, so Nippon launches an exhibition into Western Africa to visit the former Crown Princess, who is the Queen of a former French colony in Africa. Nippon proposes to her to give support to a war overthrowing the collectivist regime and have France become a constitutional monarchy once again. The former Crown princess will become the new queen of France, and her current African kingdom can become a vassal state of France. With the promise of restoring her family's monarchy, saving France and gaining more power, the former Crown Princess accepts.
 * Bharat definately agrees, and will try to convince the Chinese to agree as well. Afghanistan is also interested in the idea and agrees. They will also be there supporting the Nipponese against Collectivism. They have experienced firsthand its downfall.

The European space station is a success. A Soyuz rocket team demonstrates that uniting spacecraft is possible by docking two two-man Soyuz-1 modules. The Russian Government calls new elections, as Krushchef dies and cannot continue being prime minister. Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the Octobrist party, wins with a one-seat above majority. Meanwhile, the Russian film industry produces a comedy entitled "the Asians have Landed!" about a Bharati submarine Captain, who never saw Russia, and disobeyed direct orders when on patrol, and when going too close to Crimea, landed on a small Russian seaside village (This is basically OTL "The Russians are coming"). The Captain must gain the trust of the villagers to help him pull his submarine off the shore before the Russian air force bombs him to submarines (courtesy of a townsperson who was very scared about them coming in the first place). This film is receiving many positive reviews, and is the only film so far that does not show the Asians in a negative or antagonistic fashion.

 * OK OK OK. Fine, no war with Flanders but just saying maybe the ruler of my country is anti-Japanese
 * OK.
 * You would think that Alsatia would promote the Alsatian language, not Franconian.
 * There is no "Alsatian language". The local language is Franconian. It's something of a descendant of the original Germanic Frankish language.
 * Nope, there is an Alsatian_Language, " often confused with Lorraine Franconian"
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth continues to update industry and infrastructure. Orange computer officially opens two new stores in Bharat and one new store in Nippon.

The majority of Norwegian senators were spared since they were closest to the door. Out of the 1063 senators, 732 survived. Also killed was the PM, President, Deputy, and Vice President, as well as the scribes and cameramen. (Every Senate meeting is filmed.) The Crown Prince and Crown Princess consort also barely escaped with their lives. Meanwhile in Stockholm, the former Imperial Palace of Sweden begins to face major condolences. Federal investigators find after two months that it was a terrorist group known as the Red Claw, a collectivist organization. This further boosts anti-collectivist feeling and soon mass riots begin in Oslo, which is the headquarters of the National Socialist Scandinavian People's Party. The police are called in again and again, although they do not kill anyone.
 * The ICHR calls on the world to bring the Red Claw group to justice. (In case you didn't know, the ICHR is open to everyone. Anyone can send anyone to it and they can get sentenced for their crimes against humanity. ~Von.)

 * Alsatia makes the official language to be taught in school Alsatian and start teaching French and German as optional languages starting in grade 6.
 * Wouldn't they learn Alsatian, since they are Alsatia, and not Franconian?
 * There is no Alsatian language. Whoever mentioned it the first time obviously did not do any research concerning the region's languages.
 * It's actually you who did no research, since just going on Wikipedia for Alsace reveals that they speak Alsatian in the very first line.
 * Yes. There is an, contrary to what you may believe, Lurk. I have to agree with this fellow. ~ Scraw
 * What? I was the one who told him that there was an Alsatian Language, it was Yank who was saying there wasn't -LLB

 * In Scandinavia, reconstruction begins on the Senate Hall, with high security levels. A film called Star Wars is released, and it is a big hit. Red Claw members begin to flee Oslo and go to other countries. Intelligence believes that they will first go to other neighboring nations. A group of Scandinavians scale Mount Everest (in Bharat, yes) and are the first to do so. (I believe no one else has done this.) The Godthab radio mast is completed in Greenland and it is the second tallest manmade structure in the world. Meanwhile the government continues to build up the military and invite other nations to the International League and hopes it will not fail again. The Red Claw strikes again by attacking a ScanTrak train going from Oslo to Helsinki. Half of the people on the train manage to escape. The rest of them are taken hostage by the group and they demand a ransom from the authority of ScanTrak, to which they respond by paying half the due amount. The Red Claw begins making daily attacks on ScanTrak trains and the government begins to fret over the situation. Fewer Red Claw members are rounded up. ScanTrak employees begin to go on strike due to the dangerous situations at their workplaces and ScanTrak's ridership levels begin to drop. The Norway-Sweden border is a special hotspot and people in that area begin to move to more metropolitan areas. ScanTrak's gross income also begins to go down and the economists begin to predict an economic slump by the next year and a European depression by 1977 or a global depression. The Red Claw would strike again before the years end by blowing up a subway tunnel underneath Copenhagen's First Avenue, killing 23 underground and 10 aboveground, as well as burying a train in rubble.

A train tunnel system connecting the main Nipponese home islands up to the Shinkansen network in Honshu begins to be constructed, alongside large bridges for cars and slower trains.

Anyway the war against the People's Republic of France is going very well for the Nipponese led coalition.
