Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

The Ming Dynasty still rules over the vast lands of China. On the other side of the world, the Hundred Years War continues between England and France. Europe is still stuck in the old ways of feudalism and chivalry while the notions of a New World are considered figments of the imagination.

We welcome you to the long-awaited fourth expansion of that immortal series. Welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while the nations in the western side of the continent are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Muslim world is still reeling from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mameluke Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. Make it count. The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed due to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember, above all other rules. — have fun.

Plausibility Strikes
'''Three strikes and you're out! Each strike resets after 30 years of the most recent strike.'''

Moderator Strikes
These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways: Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:
 * 1) If a sufficient number of players (more than one-half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 2) If I, Scraw, give them a strike.
 * 3) If a majority of all mods (i.e., more than one-half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 1) Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
 * 2) Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
 * 3) Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
 * 4) Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.



1940
'''The Dust Bowl continues to ravage the great plains. Texans flee south and west to Aztláni California. Meanwhile, New Englanders flee east away from the desolation.'''

'''The United Kingdom presses its invasion of Uluru. A series of naval landings, in addition to the breakout from British Uluru, cause the Uluran Army difficulties in containing the forces of the United Kingdom. A major naval battle in the OTL Gulf of Carpentaria sees the remainder of the Uluran fleet severely damaged.'''

France begins construction of a series of strategic border defenses against Burgundy.

'''An organization in Belka calls for an end to the practice of impailment, as any advanced democracy should not stoop to such a low form of execution. They also demand more respect for human rights in general from the nation.'''

'''The constant state of war-readiness that Belka has maintained since the Great European War has led to a slowing economy, rising interest rates, and falling productivity. Economists within the nation estimate that the practice has cost Belka 10% economic growth since 1900.'''
 * India: The private companies start working on their own in the railway sector. A number of Indian transit companies start setting up depots, maintenance hubs and factories with Swiss collaboration or independently. Newer train designs are being produced by the Indian companies suited to Indian conditions. The expansion of the railways continues. The expansion of the dockyards continues and leads to an increase in the production of ships, both for riverine and sea transport as water transport continues to grow especially on the Ganges-Brahmaputra system, Ganges Gulf and the Arabian Sea. The Agricultural mechanisation and modernisation plan that was started 14 years ago comes to an end with the completion of the auxiliary programs. The agricultural modernisation plan led to a huge increase in productivity, the amount of irrigated land has grown exponentially and similar trend has been observed in farmers' incomes. The Plan radically changed and modernised life in rural India. With higher incomes, availability of irrigation and fertilisers and larger farm sizes, the Indian farmers have become prosperous. The availability of irrigation has greatly reduced the dependence on rainfall for irrigation and has led to almost constant production of agricultural goods. Farming has now become profitable and with continued migration to the cities and the outside world, most areas have moved away from subsistence farming. Agricultural diversification continues with farmers moving into the allied branches such as horticulture, pisciculture, sericulture, animal rearing, etc. Food grains are exported to neighbouring nations. India has finally become a food surplus nation and famines are a thing of the past. Many of them are able to find jobs in the expanding industries and there is a movement of people westward to the heartland of the Indian textile industry. The population growth rate stands at 1.03% p.a. The internal migration continues with people resettling the underpopulated South. The expansion of education continues in the cities and rural areas under a uniform curriculum. Sanskrit, the de jure official language, is also taught in the schools alongside Hindi and the official state language. Cycles become massively popular and a large number of them are sold in the rural and urban areas, with most of these being produced domestically. The textile industry expands further, with a small amount being exported to neighbouring countries. The textile industry has established itself in the Gujarat-Sindh-Martahwad region and the Bengal-Magadh-Chittagong region. The textile industry continue its growth at a steady pace. Some companies start venturing into the chemical sector for the production of dyes and medicines. Companies have stared setting up factories for the production of rubber products and semi-synthetic fibres. Mechanisation spreads into the wool and silk textile industry. The woollen textile industry expands in Punjab and parts of the Rajputana state. The silk textile industry continues mechanisation in the Bengal region. The Indian industries have expanded significantly into the consumer goods sector and produces fast moving consumer goods. These are also exported to Brésil with a recent trade deal. This has driven up the demand. The Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta Plan continues with the construction of dykes and sea walls. A similar project has been planned for Kerala and will start in 1944. Radio is introduced for regular use in the army, navy and air force. The use of the radio also increases in the cities and outlying areas. Telegraph and telephone lines are expanded with a number of communication companies being established. Academic cooperation continues with Swahili, Britain and the Union. The Burgundian shipment of naval planes is received this year. The first Burgundian sponsored factory is set up and the first aircraft rolls out on 18 August of the year. The Indian Navy places an initial order of 100 naval bombers from these factories. The Indian Navy continues to set up its naval air arm using the planes imported from the Union and Burgundy. The Navy sets up forward bases in the Maldives, OTL British Indian Ocean Territory, Lakshadweep and the Andaman islands. These will be constructed into full fledged bases for the naval air arm and the air force. India continues to receive Brésilian planes and Brésilian tanks. A third armoured division is set up. The Indian Air Force starts expanding and sets up a new base in Chittagong. The Indian Civil Aviation industry continues to grow. With British research cooperation and engines, some Indian companies begin researching a small all-metal monoplane that can be used on makeshift airfields and that which could work properly in Indian weather conditions. The Navy is put on alert as tensions rise in the Indian Ocean Region.
 * Indian Diplomacy to Britain: The Indian Ambassador lodges a strong protest against the War in Uluru.
 * Indian Diplomacy to the Union: A brigade of volunteers led by Gandhi requests permission to enter the Colonial Republics and help repair the damage.
 * Indian Diplomacy to Germany: We request licenses for the production of the MP34.
 * Indian Diplomacy to Kashmir and Nepal: The Government of India requests the unification of the states of Kashmir and Nepal with India, citing a shared culture, language and majority religion and also the economic growth that India has witnessed in recent years. (Nepal: Nepal is culturally similar to Northern Bihar and UP. OTL Maithili and Nepali are mutually intelligible. ATL I prevented the split of the Bihari languages and merged them into one, so the Nepali also speak Magadhi. Moreover, Nepal was a part of Aryavarta and is also a Hindu state.) (Kashmir: Apart from other reasons, Kashmir has a chunk of Punjab. Kashmir was a part of the Delhi Raj (established in the 1520s) which then became Aryavarta. Punjab split off from Aryavarta in the 1600s but Aryavarta retained the Kashmir and Khyber-Pakhtunwa regions. Punjab was also a Hindu state. Aryavarta split completely in the 1700s and was ruled by a Hindu dynasty. Even if after the splitting of Aryavarta, Kashmir was ruled by a Muslim house, they simply wouldn't have had the power or resources to encourage conversion. So Kashmir is essentially Hindu and has been ruled by Hindus ever since the Delhi Raj in the 1520s. Also, Kashmir shares its culture with North India. The ATL Peshawar, Pushkalavati was a major city in Aryavarta.)
 * German Dip: Sure.


 * Imperial Swahili Federation: The economy continues rapid growth after the recovery from the great Depression. Agricultural mechanization is now spread to parts of the heartland and Somalia, where population density in rural areas has declined following urbanisation and the movement of farmers toward cities. Phase Three of the modernization plan continues. Industry in the interior of Swahili continues to grow. With the rising demand of Europe, Asia and Arcadia, the export industries of Swahili continue to increase. Light industries and textile industries continues growth. Scientific research and development continues booming.  A living coelacanth is discovered off the coast of Swahili, which quickly became a biological marvel and sent for exhibit in the Imperial Aquarium in Zanzibar. After years of work, the Somalian desert is now lined by hundreds of small waterways, which are further reinforced and expanded by trees and plant material. Academic cooperation with India continues. The film, literature, kibonzo and animation industries continue to rise in popularity. The defensive line against the British and French in Aliwa and the New Territories are further developed. Production of anti-air, anti-tank guns and gas masks continues as defensive measures against the weapons of this new generation of warfare. Tanks, aircraft, armoured cars and motorcycles also continue production. The DADAR system is further improved for the specific demands of the Swahili navy. With the drastically lowered cost of radios, they are now issued en masse to the navy and the army. A prototype for a all metal monoplane is developed. The department of navy continues to investigate specialized destroyers. Swahili sends humanitarian aid to Uluru, especially to those affected by the British attack. Swahili offers to mediate a peace conference between Uluru and Britain. 
 * Swahili Diplomacy: We offer to sell seven battleships to other countries.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to India: We wish to begin military cooperation and drills in the Indian Ocean, citing the rising tensions.


 * Kingdom of Burgundy: The news of France fortifying the border with Burgundy causes many to perceive it as a provocation, a rejection of the possibility over negotiations over the rights of Burgundians in the French-annexed territories. King Rogier calls for calm, again extending a request to France to enter negotiations over the status of the Burgundian peoples in those territories. The introduction of new vehicles such as trucks, and the Vaillant 251 half-track, has allowed the Royal Army and Marines an increased level of motorization, as well as their first mechanized infantry units. Rupspanzer IV (OTL M4 Sherman) production increases, with manufacturing facilities opened in both Borealia and Guyana to equip the armies of the dominions. Modern self-propelled artillery enters the Royal Army, based on the Rupspanzer III chassis, the principal models being the 4” Houwitserwagen R7 (OTL M7 Priest), and the 6” Geschutzwagen R12 (OTL M12 GMC). Also on the Rupspanzer III chassis, the 3” Sturmgeschutz III (OTL T40 tank destroyer) enters service as the Army’s first dedicated tank destroyer. A series of RADEV towers are quietly built to allow the military to monitor the Kingdoms borders and coastline. The Arcadian Aviation Company continues development and refinement of their AA-73 prototype they test flew the previous year. The Guyana-based Kinnigräich airplane company test flies what becomes called the F-47 Donnerbout (OTL P-47 Thunderbolt). Following on from the successful flight of a jet-powered plane last year, Fokker test flies a design for a proper jet fighter, dubbed the XF-59 Koméit (OTL Bell P-59), though further testing and refinements will be required. Fokker also tests its latest helicopter design (OTL Fa 223 Drache). Meanwhile, Grumman flies an experimental aircraft, testing the feasibility of the flying wing (OTL Northrop N-1M). In February, the Navy concludes it internal report on the British attack on Boorloo, concluding that the Uluran Navy possessed vastly inadequate anti-aircraft artillery, both in quality and quantity. The navy begins undergoing war games to ascertain the effectiveness of Burgundian anti-aircraft capabilities. Nonetheless, the investigating reports classified portions recommend testing and distribution of the recently invented “verännerlech zäit zünder”, which initial testing with land-based guns show promising. Further testing at sea on the battleship Sint Sigismund also proves the devices potential. In December, after several tweak to the design, an initial order is placed an expected in 1941. Given the nature of the project, it is kept under maximum possible secrecy. The Navy launches the first diesel-electric submarine, nicknamed the “Elektroboot”. It is scheduled to undergo evaluations in 1941 before the Navy decides for or against ordering more.
 * Uniõ de Cádiz: The economy progresses as normal, with strong growth in the aerospace, industrial, and shipbuilding sectors, as well as a strong financial sector in Madrid. Herrero-Correia unveils a series of two armored vehicles based on a widened the HCM. 38/L chassis. The first vehicle, the HCM. 40/L B, a tank destroyer, which features the same drive train as the HCM. 38/L but possesses 75 mm of frontal armor at a 60 degree slope and a devastating 75 mm/50 anti-air cannon (7.5 cm Pak 39 but 150 mm longer) (A reversed (Flipped) and widened Hetzer with a slight up-gun). The other vehicle, the HCM. 40/L M., a true medium tank is equipped with a similar armor pattern and a 60 mm/60 intermediate anti-aircraft cannon. The two vehicles prove highly maneuverable and well armored, able to withstand frontal fire from many 75 mm cannons and even low velocity 90 mm guns. Their side and rear armor is, however, somewhat lacking at only 35mm and 25 mm respectively. Fontes as releases a new half-track vehicle equipped with either four 60 mm infantry mortars or a 100 mm carriage mortar. Another update to the Sobremarinho Colerica L.12/34 is released, the Colerica Mark III. which features a newly developed 20 mm autocannon for air use. The University of Barcelona finishes its heavy water reactor and demonstrates that the substance has large advantages over impure graphite. Meanwhile, the University of Sevilla continues its work in Morocco and abroad studying arid climates. Te universities efforts in southern Morocco show reasonable success in rolling back the sand, but as always the work is one of decades. Fruit production in the region does begin to show promise as dry-land fruit trees flourish in the sunny climate. DARAD systems are now available fleet-wide with plans to build more land-based versions in the works. A general security order is established that sees the construction of 12 large naval-air bases in Algeria, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, Valencia, Catalonia, and Murcia, as well as a large naval base and air base complex near Cadiz. Overall population stands at 92.62 million after accounting for Indian migrants.
 * República de las Antillas Ibéricas: The return of tourism begins to revive the struggling economies of the Antillas. Oil revenues prop up the entirety of the island chain and migration to Tobago from the northern islands drives large-scale development of the oil regions.
 * Las Repúblicas Colonias: Overall the colonies prosper under peace and stable democratic governments. In Senegay, Guinea, and Makassar the governments begin petitions for more autonomy and independence. In order to ease their concerns and maintain some measure of Union presence another colonial convention is held and the Comunidade de Naciõnes Ibéricas a military and economic association within which citizens can travel and conduct business with very limited restrictions. With this community of nations established the Union begins the process of formally withdrawing from Senegay, Guinea and Makassar.

1941

 * Texas and New England both adopt radical agricultural policies to combat the drought and dust and the situation begins to improve; however, the economies of both states and other Arcadian nations suffer from high food prices and a small recession. 
 * Persian nationalists stage several attacks on oil production systems in French and Arabian held Persia. The groups, in a political alliance with the Persian Syndicalist Party, launch major strikes in both of these areas undermining French and Arabian power. 
 * A major corruption scandal rocks Belka’s military elite as it comes to light that a cadre of senior admirals hid the purchasing unhardened steel for the armor of Belka’s two most recent classes of battleships as a way to make money on the side. Belkan engineers estimate that fixing the ships will cost millions and take six months in drydock for each ship. (Also battleships of these classes will fight at -10 in the algo until fixed)
 * The local governments of Maryland and Burgundian Guyana both move to secure full political, economic, and military independence from Burgundy. In Kuba the government faces protesters demanding the same. 
 * The government of Uluru collapses as the UK captures the major coastal population centers. Elements of the Uluran army begin an insurgency from the outback but cut off from supplies their ability to fight is quickly waning. 
 * Troops from Savannah finally breakthrough the defensive lines of the State of Ohio, despite assistance from New Grenada. The country fights on but the situation looks increasingly desperate.

 * Uniõ de Cádiz: The economy progresses as normal, with strong growth in the aerospace, industrial, and shipbuilding sectors, as well as a strong financial sector in Madrid. Herrero-Correia quickly converts its factories to the new HCM. 40/L B and HCM. 40/L combat vehicles, older model HCM. 38/Ls are stripped of parts for use in the production process and by end of the year a combined 200 units have been produced. Fontes continues production of its infantry fighting vehicles which are adopted in force by the Union Expeditionary Force and Union Berber Divisions. With nearly 2,000 units delivered in a variety of forms the Union now maintains a force of 200,000 highly motorized troops equipped with half-tracks, armored cars, infantry support vehicles, and motorized gun carriages. The Sobremarinho Colerica Mark III. enters production with orders for 200 units. The University of Barcelona continues its work on nuclear science, a new element, Zeusium (OTL Plutonium) is discovered as a synthetic result of the irradiation of uranium. Work also commences on the X-12 Heavy Isotopic Electromagnetic Separator, a facility to sort Uranium and other elements by isotope. Meanwhile, the University of Sevilla continues its work in Morocco and abroad studying arid climates. The university’s efforts in southern Morocco show reasonable success in rolling back the sand, but as always the work is one of decades. Fruit production in the region does begin to show promise as dry-land fruit trees flourish in the sunny climate. Overall population stands at 93.2 million after accounting for Indian migrants.
 * República de las Antillas Ibéricas: The return of tourism begins to revive the struggling economies of the Antillas. Oil revenues prop up the entirety of the island chain and migration to Tobago from the northern islands drives large-scale development of the oil regions.
 * La República Angola: The last true colonial republic, Angola continues its redevelopment after its war. Local factions are promised independence after true stability is reached.


 * Imperial Swahili Federation: The economy continues rapid growth after the recovery from the great Depression. Agricultural mechanization is now spread to parts of the heartland and Somalia, where population density in rural areas has declined following urbanisation and the movement of farmers toward cities. Phase Three of the modernization plan continues. Industry in the interior of Swahili continues to grow.

Tanks, aircraft, armoured cars and motorcycles also continue production. With the drastically lowered cost of radios, they are now issued en masse to the navy and the army. The Russom Tai enters production since last year (Naval Ki 43 equivalent) and is armed on aircraft carriers.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to India: We wish to begin military cooperation and drills in the Indian Ocean, citing the rising tensions.
 * United States of Germany: This year marks the year of another German boom in military technologies. In a regional weapons expo earlier in the year had introduced the MP41 (OTL MP40) and the G41 (OTL Gewehr 41). The G41 is Germany's first semi-auto rifle that is versatile enough for almost any terrain. The German government was impressed by this and ordered several thousand G41 and MP41s for military use. The German military also researched into the possibility of a well-equipped German heavy tank that could mount the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun. Plans for a "Tiger I" are designed and the first prototypes are to be produced and tested by early next year.
 * OOC question: What happened to the state of Ohio? I don't see them on the map.
 * OOC answer: They are technically still in a state of rebellion, which doesn't make them eligible for the map.
 * Imperial Democracy of Brésil: The population reaches 97,150,000 this year. Trade with Europe, specifically with the Belkan Federation, France, and United Kingdom has proved fruitful, allowing for the flourishing of consumer goods, industrial technologies, and cultural exchanges. The transition from an absolute monarchy to a democratic republic is made this year. Politicians are elected in the first quarter of the year. In terms of politics, the set up of the new government is enlaced in the constitution, and as such, is built on a mix between the previous government, parts of Plato's Republic, and the Belkan Federation's constitution. The position of Munarka (Monarch) is abolished, and power is divided between the Kancelierogang (Chancellor) and Diäsidentō (President), as well as the respective branches: Exeplinuán (Executive; Cabinet) and Parlamentìhuì (Parliamentary). The Parlamentìhuì held 600 empty seats before it was filled accordingly under a six-party system, with the Frendeto dί Persemenom (People's Front) [76 seats], the Liberéyóu (Liberty) [144 seats], the Régǎme dί Natoanizt (Nathanist Reform) [43 seats], the Aliángén dί Demokratίzǔ (Democratic Alliance) [198 seats], Fàxŝime (Fascist) [91 seats], and the Prùgrìsemik (Progressive) [48 seats] parties taking hold of the Parlamentìhuì. Since the Aliángén dί Demokratίzǔ holds a majority of the seats and is partnered in policy with the Frendeto dί Persemenom and the Prùgrìsemik, a set of major public projects are initiated, with the most substantial being the Agoteríeom dί Sècuìl Sébufálité (OTL Social Security Agency; SSA). Elections for the positions of Kancelierogang and the Diäsidentō take place every five years, while the positions for the Parlamentìhuì is done every three years. Due to the various regional language dialects that exist in Brésil, the most widely spoken and accepted language, a dialect of French known as Fǔrétìhuì, becomes the "official" language and is taught in schools and universities. Most of new literature published is written in Fǔrétìhuì, and a complete overhaul of all literature publications are translated and revised accordingly. The first updated versions of the dictionary are properly distributed. Due to the large number of ethnicities that exist in Brésil, a push for segregation in the state is made by high-office politicians, and soon enough, specific school districts and universities begin showing major racial discrimination against specific ethnicities based on the majority ethnic makeup in a region. Along the coastline, White French peoples begin discrimination against ethnic Asians, while in the mainland, Ibenuĝens (Native Brésilians mixed with Iberians) show large persecution against ethnic Germans and ethnic Peruvian natives. The Verdier-Honásik Keorpynateur (OTL Atanasoff–Berry Computer: ABC) is developed, but remains primarily unknown to the general public. Much of the military from the previous government remains relatively the same.

1942
'''Racial problems in Northern Africa and heavily ethnically diverse nations reach a breaking point when a group of presumed Iberian men dressed in all black attack a native Moroccan neighborhood and promtly begin burning down the houses as well as using methods of terror against the native peoples. The terrorists are not successfully captured or arrested, bringing about anger from the natives and a certain attitude of superiority from the ethnic Iberians, furthering the divide between both groups of people.'''

'''After collapsing the Uluru government, the British regiments in the continent begin facing large rebellions and unrest among the occupied native population. Although major control is established through most of the continent, the ability to maintain it becomes near-impossible as the population outnumbers the British soldiers by a large margin. '''

'''The dust bowl continues to affect the states in Arcadia. '''

'''The Mapuche proclaim the Burgundian colony to it's east a part of it's central government, claiming the territory as an extension of itself. '''

The war between Savannah and Ohio continues, with a larger loss of civilian life as the war drags on.


 * Démokretί Impérihan dί Brésil: The population reaches 98,790,000 this year. Trade with Europe, specifically with the Belkan Federation, France, and United Kingdom has proved fruitful, allowing for the flourishing of consumer goods, industrial technologies, and cultural exchanges. The Kancelierogang, Ludoviko Bunidakto, begins a nationwide tour to better promote the changed government and to develop a cult of personality. Catholicism and Nathanist Christianity begins to decline in favor of Bueĵocivίanism (Form of OTL Evangelicalism), a more spiritual doctrine of Christianity. It becomes widely popular due to its focus on salvation, as well as it’s movement toward more progressive ideas. The Diäsidentō, Klaŭdio Petrovik, begins investing more funds into public works and social programs. The program of Agoteríeom dί Sècuìl Sébufálité (OTL Social Security Agency; SSA) continues to be enacted. The Associative States of Peru and Argentine are officially established, becoming the Rupǎbliké dί Péru and the Rupǎbliké dί Argentine. A referendum for annexation is expected to be voted upon in 1949. Music in the form of jaĵaezo (OTL Jazz) and gaíslo (OTL Country [Music]) spreads rapidly and becomes the largest genres played across the nation. The Mikrowelopa (OTL Microwave) is patented. A team of scientists, most notably Enrico Fermi, continue experimentation with nuclear energy. As a result, the second nuclear reactor is created and opened in Curitiba.
 * The Associative States of Argentine and Peru: In Argentine and Peru resistance groups against Brésilian domination and subjugation form and spread like wild fire, inspired by the Free Alaskan Republic, demanding full independence from Brésil and strongly urging the populace to vote against the referendum of annexation, some more radical groups taking up arms against the Brésilian state via guerilla warfare, targetting key military positions and depots. Developments are made in all aspects of life, with advances in medicine being forefront in Argentine-Peruvian advancements, as well as a rail initiative to connect New Vichy and Lima together. Salt peter and silver continue to be mined as valuable minerals, bringing great wealth to the Associative States, with many of the funds being invested into scientific pursuits to further the well being of the populace.
 * Free Alaskan Republic: With imperialist forces creeping closer and closer to the borders of Alaska, president Dzhugashvili grows ever more paranoid. The current government under prime minister Karakov seeks to secure the Arcadian continent from southern invasion. The army receives an intensive training with a focus on guerrilla warfare and rough terrain like dense forests. SECRET The high command has drawn plans on installing an Alaska friendly government in the form of a protactorate in the remnants of the Federal Republic of Arcadia. Both an invasion and a diplomatic alliance are consideredan option END SECRET. Mining is given a larger priority as an industrial sector, where the councils are now more derigated by the state rather than the original trade unions. IN the heavy industry there is given more power to the respective labour unions in order to be flexible in production and planning. Many steel factories are build along the north-south connection from the Chukchi oblast to the oblast of Novokavkaz in the south. An extension of the railway is planned to the Yekaterin oblast to the east. The Laocracy in Alaska is promoted secretly in Aztlán's anti-fascist circles and socialist trade unions, which are funded to work as underground affiliations against the current government. As a means of both collecting experience and to help the republicans of Arcadia, 500 volunteers offer to fight in Savannah against the illegitmate State of Ohio, if their government permits it. (MOD RESPONSE PLEASE). A book by the prime minister Nestor Karakow is published this year, in which he theorizes out a stateless, collective society on the bases of Marsianist theory. While the president criticizes the book as a sidenote in a speech, the book is also published in Russia at the same time. Karakov demanded, that it remains uncensored. The book is known as the "Karakovina", the rather libertarian interpretation of the synthesis between Marsianism and syndicalism that Dzhugashvili originally drew. Labour camps are dismissed as inhumane, while the revolutionary approach on reaching political goals stays the same.
 * Aztlán Diplomacy: the Aztlán Empire demands Alaska cease and desist all military movements and anti-Aztlán operations. If you cease and desist, agree to leave the Arcadian remnants alone, and engage in friendly diplomatic relations with us, we will leave you alone and even invest in your nation as we do not wish to eradicate the Alaskan nation. If you refuse this offer of friendship then action shall be taken.
 * Alaskan Diplomacy: The Alaskan diplomats respond to the Aztláni accusations for an Alaskan plan of invasion, that there is no evidence for these claims. The support of revolutionary trade-unions will be stopped for a larger series of investment. Though that there are large differences politically, Alaska is in favor of good relations.
 * Aztlán Response: We are very pleased with the wise decision of the Alaskan Government to cease hostile activities and engage in open and friendly relations with the empire.
 * Vinlandian Dilomacy: If any harm is done to Alaska, Vinland and her allies will intervene. We wish to maintain friendly ties with Aztlán.
 * Aztlán Response: ho are these allies you speak of? Give me names.
 * Aztlán Empire: a new year shines down on the glorious empire. The large Arcadian population that is now under the Aztlán flag are all granted naturalized citizenship and equal rights to Aztláns in the core provinces. We reorganize the territory carve dust out of the Technate of Arcadia into new imperial province, these new subdivisions are named: Zionia, an autonomous provinces for the Jewish population in New Canuun (which Zionia has replaced), Kalifonyia (which includes Oregon) and Baja are combined into one entity called “Gran Californio”, the areas of OTL Arizonia and New Mexico become the the parish of Montezuma, named after the historical leader of the ancient Aztec empire, OTL Nevada becomes Deseret, the Russian minority populated areas are organized into the Russian Salinas Autonomous Province . The fascist Regime remains strong and in high support amongst the population. We continue to build up our naval forces by mass producing submarines and warships. Our air services are also developed and mass production of bombers and close air support planes get into motion. Naval bases are constructed in the Bay Area. New Constantinople is renamed to Nuevo Lucentum, a call back to the ancient city of the Mzerkan civilization. The promotion of the azlatan identity as a national idenity instead of an ethnic one is promoted so as to better incorporate the newly acquired territories which are known as in Aztlán proper as the “outer territories”. Reconstruction efforts continue in the areas of the former technate with propaganda promoting a united effort from the local populace in rebuilding a new society from the ruble. Military bases are constructed in Yucatán and chiapas provinces and Forts along the southern border are constructed. Military bases are constructed in the Deseret and Montezuma regions. The fascist government continues to promote a sort of aztec revival, as it declares the current empire to be the legal successor of the Aztec Empire long ago. Architecture is constructed in a style similar to old Aztec buildings with obvious fascist elements in it. Aztlán settlers move in mass to the parishes of Montezuma and Gran Californio, due partially by government promotion but also by the choice of the citizens who are looking for new opportunities. We increase trade with European and Asian powers like China, Belka, and France, but not by much as we attempt and become more export base and self-reliant. A large movement is launched in Gran Californio to revive the ancient culture of the mzerka and to embrace the region’s ancient past, this is contrary to the Arcadian state who painted a picture of this past being “oppressive”. The Texans fleeing the dust bowl are welcomed into the country with open arms and are all given temporary refugee status, but if they keep this depends if they intend to stay in Gran Californio for the near future or intend to go back to Texas once the dust bowl passes. The economy of the outer territories begin the transition process of being integrated into the Aztláni nation economy. A nation project is launched this year called the “autopista imperial” or “Imperial Motorway”, also known for short as the autopista, which is a national project that aims to link the nation together with a national highway system, this includes the outer provinces. Aztlán declares support for the Ohio State and begins sending weapons En Masse via the black market and Texas. The Imperial Directorate of Interior Affairs (Dirección Imperial de Interior (DII)), the empire’s secret police but officially classified as a counterintelligence and counterterrorist agency, full establishes a presence in the outermost provinces and gets its operations there online, numerous suspected anti-government individuals and suspected terrorists, and round up anyone who worked for the previous Arcadian government, no matter how minor the position. Numerous others individuals are blacklisted by DII but are not arrested and are instead put under surveillance.
 * United States of Germany: Germany starts off the year with further improvements on Firearm technologies thanks to remnants of its technocratic and "big risk, big progress" policies. Prototypes for a new schematic called the MP1943 (OTL more commonly as StG44, obviously) was first designed and planned to be purchased by the German military by 1943, hence MP-1943 or MP43. The MG1942 (OTL MG42) also started production but, being more expensive than its predecessors, its rate of production is quite low. The German navy and airforce also goes through efforts to be updated to the latest technologies, with many being put under review, and will not be completed for several years. Germany also expresses interest in reorganizing organizations dedicated to rebuilding post-war nations (due to rising conflicts) and pushing forth on creating an economic cooperation intergovernmental organization as it was put forth earlier. The German population (including colonies) has pushed passed 105 Million, an increase of almost 10 million since 1936. This is the peak of birth rates as it starts to slowly decline in major cities due to signs of overpopulation, possibly leading to massive emigration to the countrysides and colonies. (More possibly soon).
 * Empire Of Uluru: With the collapse of the Ulurun government and the defeat of its armies in the field, Britain begins its occupation of the Empire, establishing control over most of the continent by the end of the year. However, they fail too capture the royal family, which is able too successfully flee the capital before its fall too British forces and establish a government in exile, Which seeks too take refuge in China-Korea, our ally, who the Emperor also requests aid from (CHINA RESPONSE NEEDED)and they serve as a rallying point for the resentful population. We also seek aid from our allies in the former GIOCPS, India, Arabia, and Swahili, also pointing out that if we fall, it is likley that Britain will begin looking too conquer them next, in revenge for their previous loses too them, much as they are now doing too us. (Arabia, Swahili, and India responce needed!) This, and the fact that many surviving Ulurun soldiers were able too hide themselves and blend in among the majority of the population, leads to the beginning of a new stage of guirella warfare against British forces, with rebels managing too take control over much of the countryside, especially in central Anangu, well the British continue to maintain their hold over the major urban centers. As part of this, many forces, before retreating in the initial occupation, intentionally sabotage infestructure, factories, and railways that could potentially be of use too the British forces in order to deny them their use and make their occupation more difficult, a fact that also makes it much harder for Britain to supply its men occupying the continent and serves to demoralize them further. (More too come)
 * Sino–Korean diplomacy: China–Korea agrees to assume custody of the Ulurun Emperor and the imperial household. Meanwhile, China–Korea also supports Ulurun resistance through exporting arms.
 * Vinland: The 1942 censusu puts the population at 12,1 million people and the army is further expanded to 550 000 soldiers.With the helsinki agreements signed with scandinavia,we withdraw from our part of iceland and sends the iceland garrison to bear island and jan majen instead.Meanwhile to help new england rebuild,we send a team of infrastructure experts to help them with railroads etc.The VN ST:olof battleship is decommisoned but is decided to be preserved as a museum ship in the capital.to replace the ship the navy is allocated additional funds to raw out deseign for a new battleship and a secret antoher ship only knows as Grönköping.
 * Uniõ de Cádiz: A political revolution begins to sweep the Union as a party, the Corporatists Union elect a new and highly charismatic leader, Benito Chavez. A veteran of the World War, Chavez calls for social and economic reform to organize what he calls a “fractured society.” His rise to popularity is most made possible by a serious scandal in the Technocratic Union Party implicating most of the party leadership and many ministers of parliament. The collapse of this party creates a power vacuum, filled by a strengthened Socialist Unionist Party, the Corporatists Union, and a small Integralist Party. The Integralist Party, led by Xavier Secada, represents a far-right group of discontents which seek to integrate and keep the Union’s colonies. The Moroccan Government takes strong action to curb the spread of violence. 10,000 military police officials comprised of mixed units are used to garrison major plazas, squares and neighborhoods across Morocco. In Algeria, a similar arrangement is introduced but with fewer troops and more emphasis on protecting Algerian population centers. A police unit from a newly established Union Investigation Agency, the group is tasked with combating violent extremism in Maghreb, as well as fighting inter-state crime in the Union. Fortunately, the relative similarity of Iberian and Maghrebi appearance and similar norms of conservative dress prevent indiscriminate attacks by either sides for fear of attacking the wrong people. With the introduction of the Corporatist economic policies the economy undergoes a period of shake-up. Many industries find themselves with fewer friends in government, while other large companies are forced to spin-off side industries. Herrero-Correia is split into Herrero Automobile and Correia Industrial, with Correia maintaining the armored vehicle production lines. Fontes sees its heavy industry sector broken off, and its armored vehicle production rolled into Madrid Armorworks. The new companies are given a tax-break for the year to aid them in stabilization, and although growth slows this year economists predict stronger future growth. The University of Barcelona continues its work on nuclear science, with the completion of the X-12 Heavy Isotopic Electromagnetic Separator the production of isotope specific Uranium commences, but it proves to be expensive and inefficient. The University proposed the construction of a Gaseous Diffusion Isotopic Separator. The project receives approval from the new government, and the X-13 Heavy Isotopic Gaseous Diffusion Separator begins construction in Bilbao. Meanwhile the University of Sevilla continues its work in Morocco and abroad studying arid climates. The university’s efforts in southern Morocco show reasonable success in rolling back the sand, but as always the work is one of decades. Fruit production in the region does begin to show promise as dry-land fruit trees flourish in the sunny climate. Overall population stands at 93.79 million. The Union formally withdraws from the former colonial republics of Senegay, Guinea, and Makassar leaving the Comunidade de Naciõnes Ibéricas and a shared currency as institutional links to the three new nations.
 * República de las Antillas Ibéricas: The development of large port facilities in the south of the Antillas leads to a growing tourism industry which relies on first passenger ships and then mid-sized airplanes to transport tourists across the islands. Oil revenues prop up the entirety of the island chain and migration to Tobago from the northern islands drives large-scale development of the oil regions.
 * La República Angola: The last true colonial republic, Angola continues its redevelopment after its war. Local factions are promised independence after true stability is reached.


 * Kingdom of Burgundy: the commercial airline industry continues its rapid expansion, with Douglas introducing the DC-4, with the first commercial plane capable of making regular trans-Atlantic flights. The Burgundian Royal Air Force begins evaluations of new jet fighters, including a proposal from Fokker dubbed the Vallende Ster, and one from Douglas called the Spook. Meanwhile, older F-40 and F-39 piston fighters begin being phased out to secondary roles in favor of the F-51 Hengscht and F-47 Donnerbout, for now produced mainly in their native Borealia and Guyana respectively until Burgundian factories in the homeland begin licensed manufacturing. Fokker meanwhile test flies a new heavy bomber, what it calls the Superfestung. For the army, the design of the widespread M1 Karabiner is modified to compensate for its rounds weaker punching power compared to the army’s standard M1936 semi-automatic rifle. The new design feature a selector lever, allowing a soldier to choose between semiautomatic and automatic fire. For the navy, the new carrier SMS Dreadnought is launched as the first of its class. Tests on the “Elektroboot” prove promising, and the navy authorizes the construction of a class of the type. Production of the “verännerlech zäit zünder” continues, with distribution beginning to the army for their own artillery as well. Representatives from the Kingdom of Burgundy as well as Patagonië return to Mapuche reminding them of past agreements between the two governments recognizing the border between them.

1943
'''In Persia, the French colonial government quickly exits the region as Persian nationalists begin terrorising the region. However, the French colonial government continues to hold a large monopoly on oil in the area.'''

'''The Savannah-Ohioan War finally comes to a close as the rebel state collapses, although it should be noted that much of the rebellious attitude still exists in the surrounding states. '''

'''The racial divide between ethnic Maghrebian Africans and ethnic Europeans continues to boil, as more racially-targeting attacks are carried out and more institutions begin segregating students. One specific crisis occurs when a Union garrison accidentally fires upon a crowd of Maghrebians in Casablanca, killing 7 and injuring 15. '''

'''The Burgundian colony in southern Laurentia openly “joins” the Mapuche, despite conferences between the Burgundian government and the Mapuche. Although the Mapuche doesn't condemn this, they don't celebrate this as much as the population does.'''

'''Arabia and India openly respond to the UK’s invasion, condemning it and pushing the message that the British “should stop”. Regardless, some volunteer soldiers number 10,000 are sent, as well as weapons and equipment. '''

''' Human rights organizations become more prominent worldwide, with a set of codes being circulated across mass media about ethics and morals toward warfare and what should and shouldn't be allowed. '''


 * Démokretί Impérihan dί Brésil: The population reaches 99,000,000 this year. Trade with Europe, specifically with the Belkan Federation, France, and United Kingdom has proved fruitful, allowing for the flourishing of consumer goods, industrial technologies, and cultural exchanges. The Kancelierogang, Ludoviko Bunidakto, begins a nationwide tour to better promote the changed government and to develop a cult of personality. Catholicism and Nathanist Christianity begins to decline in favor of  Bueĵocivίanism (Form of OTL Evangelicalism), a more spiritual doctrine of Christianity. It becomes widely popular due to its focus on salvation, as well as it’s movement toward more progressive ideas. The Diäsidentō, Klaŭdio Petrovik, begins investing more funds into public works and social programs. The program of Agoteríeom dί Sècuìl Sébufálité (OTL Social Security Agency; SSA) continues to be enacted. Music in the form of jaĵaezo (OTL Jazz) and gaíslo (OTL Country [Music]) spreads rapidly and becomes the largest genres played across the nation. A team of scientists, most notably Enrico Fermi, continue experimentation with nuclear energy. Many of the pioneers, including Mihkelo Thibeaux "T-Bone" Vallotton and Georges Berry, become very popular across the nation. The Brésilian government openly condemns the Burgundian persistence on the continent, and pro-Brésilian separatists are sent into Venezuela, as well as a decent supply of munitions and weapons to further add to the fuel. In terms of mathematics, the idea of Game Theory is worked upon.
 * Scandinavian Empire: The Helsinki Agreement was signed by us, Vinland, and New England. Vinlandish troop retreated from Iceland, as per the agreement. We have a feeling that a second World War will pop up somewhere near us. New England and us have formed an alliance and we are a member of Intermarium, so we should be safe.
 * New England: With the help from the Helsinki Agreement the New English infrastructure increased greatly and with more factory workers a Labour Party was form with Richard Attlee as presidential candidate for the 1944 election.
 * Free Alaskan Republic: As the Savannan civil war comes to a close, the republican forces are provided with more aid, both in manpower and supplies. Advertisements aimed at the Russian speaking minority in the Aztlán Empire are published, promoting the immigration to either Alaska or the Technate of Arcadia (MOD RESPONSE ON THE EFFECT). The work for the modernization of the infrastructure continues, with many roads being build between the oblasts. The Union for Road- and Railwayworkers becomes the second largest, after the Union of Miners and Oil drillers. Both become massively important to the economic plans of the nation, gaining more and more representatives in the Commoner Vanguard Party. Most of them follow the course of Dzhugashvili, while the Karakovists are centered around the party's intellectuals. The candidate for the upcoming New England elections, Richard Attlee, gains approval from the Alaskan leadership. He states in an essay called "The current situation in Arcadia 1942", an analysis on the Dustbowl, Aztláni imperialism and the Savannan civil war: "It is necessary, both for the proletarian and the labor aristocrats of New England, to support the Labor Parties and unions of their fatherland. In the same manner, the party must study the Marsianist principles, analyze the current situation of their nation and ask questions, that are directly linked to the actuality of their situation. The Alaskan approach for a worker's state shall be the foundation, but by no means it can replace the complete work for socialism in other Arcadian states." SECRET Revolutionary trade unions in the Aztlán Empire continue to be funded by the Alaskan government, they are provided with money, ideological works and informants in order to be able to fund revolutionary militias and organize soldiers and workers against fascist oppression.  Similarly, efforts to undermine the remnants of the Arcadian state are made, with propaganda for pro-alaskan opinions and support for Arcadia as a protectorate END SECRET.  Contact is made to Argentinian and Peruvian separatist groups, complimenting their anti-imperialist motives. It is promised, that, in the case of a declaration of independence, they will be recognized by Alaska and its allies. Feeling honored by them to be their role model, the government provides the separatists with Laocratic books and theoretical works by leading alaskan polititians, if needed (ARGENTINIA/PERU RESPONSE PLEASE). Yazhayezo music (OTL Jazz) becomes increasingly popular among young Alaskans, while the government is rather critical about this new movement.  
 * Mod: Some Russians immigrate, but due to the authoritarian control of mass media in Aztlán, the message doesn't reach the majority Russian cities.
 * Vinland: The vinlandian govermeent asks germny to build two new battleships and the possible building of an airctaft carrier (GERMANY RESPONSE NEEDED). Moreover the airforce iniatiates a massive modernization program with over 200 of the 900 figthers being retired and replaced by the Saint Goran class (Otl Hawker tempest). The 1943 legislative elections are postponed until 1944 due to the rising tensions around the world.
 * German Dip: Of course. We will be done by 1946. But we'll be allowed access to build infrastructure, mainly factories and mines, on your land. We are particularly interested in rumors of more iron deposits there. We will hand land back to you a year after we are done, so 1947.
 * Uniõ de Cádiz: The Corporatists Union under Benito Chavez turns his eyes to Morocco and Algeria where the divisions in society are most apparent. Local chapters of the party are built, at the same time, the government begins propagating civic-nationalist propaganda. The propaganda targets so-called “anti-unionist elements” on both sides, which attempt to fracture the social fabric of the country. The state governments of Morocco and Algeria, face snap elections following the increasing violence. Unable to secure a majority the four major parties in both countries are the Corporatist Unionists, the Iberian Integralist Party, the Maghrebi People’s Party, and the Socialist Unionist Party. Unwilling to compromise, the Iberian Integralists and Maghrebi People’s Party refuse all coalition offers. The socialists and corporatists, sworn enemies, find themselves unable to form a coalition. The lack of leadership and the growing problem of racial tensions forces the Union government to intervene. The Corporatist government intervenes to desegregate schools, deploying the Guardia Nacional to prevent violent attacks on the schools. The AIU deploys more forces and are successful in preventing several violent incidents. The trust busting continues, creating dozens of mid-sized companies across the Union all competing for greater market share. The result of this policy is falling prices for food, fuel, and other materials, with small corporate profits. Correia continues production of the HCM. 40/L M. Madrid Armorworks further develops its half-track platform to allow for a 105mm recoilless rifle system. Meanwhile, Sandoval releases its Sandoval Model 1943 Selector Rifle (OTL Beretta BM 59). The gun features full and semi-automatic on a platform much like the old Sandoval M17A SAR. It is approved for service and enters production by the end of the year. Sobremarinho releases a new plane, the Rancoroso Mk I (OTL Supermarine Spiteful/Seafang). The new plane features a similar body to the older Colerica but has a new wing design, contra-rotating propellers, and is more heavily armed. A small company, Reavion, comrpised of scientists from the University of Santiago begin producing and developing jet engines for use in aircraft development. Their work, inspired in part by Burgundy's efforts produce the turbojet driven Reavion Meteoro (Gloster Meteor). The company, keen to improve the efficiency of jet engine technoloy invests heavily in developing more sustainable engines for medium speed travel, focusing on the principle of the turbo-fan. The University of Barcelona continues its work on nuclear science, with the completion of the X-12 Heavy Isotopic Electromagnetic Separator the production of isotope specific Uranium commences. The X-13 Heavy Isotopic Gaseous Diffusion Separator finishes construction in Bilbao and is used to great effect to produce moderately enriched uranium. Meanwhile the University of Sevilla continues its work in Morocco and abroad studying arid climates. The university’s efforts in southern Morocco show reasonable success in rolling back the sand, but as always the work is one of decades. Fruit production in the region does begin to show promise as dry-land fruit trees flourish in the sunny climate. Overall population stands at 94.38 million.
 * República de las Antillas Ibéricas: The development of large port facilities in the south of the Antillas leads to a growing tourism industry which relies on first passenger ships and then mid-sized airplanes to transport tourists across the islands. Oil revenues prop up the entirety of the island chain and migration to Tobago from the northern islands drives large-scale development of the oil regions.
 * La República Angola: The last true colonial republic, Angola continues its redevelopment after its war. Local factions are promised independence after true stability is reached.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: it is found the statement of Patagonië “joining” Mapuche to be a misattributed quote, and the European-majority Dominion of Patagonië is still separate from the native-majority Mapuche, who they share no cultural, linguistic, religious, or historical connection to. Believing the recent events in Patagonië to be the result of seditionists, Burgundy decides to earmark a shipment of modern tanks and guns to the Dominion army of Patagonië. A cruiser squadron of the Royal Navy is also stationed at the Bonapaartstadt naval base until the Guyanese Royal Navy is large enough to take over duties there. In regards to the Bresilian condemnation of Burgundys “persistence” in Laurentia, it is stated Burgundys presence is in support and cooperation of Guyana and Patagonië, themselves self-governing dominions, who, as signatories of the statute of Brussels, have legislative independence on domestic and trade policy. The Royal Navy sends the new carriers Dreadnought and Emmen on a deployment to the carribean, with the cruiser Scheer as part of their escort. While on their deployment, they’re to assist the Kuban, Jaymaikan, and Marylander Navies In patrolling their territorial waters. They are joined by the new battleship SMS Lëtzebuerg, while her sister Kinnigin Viktoria sails to Burgundy to take her place as the new flagship of the High Seas Fleet. The first ships of the new Revanche-class heavy cruisers and the Chaumont-class light cruisers also join the fleet. Several aircraft companies test jet fighters this year, with Fokkers F-80 Vallende Ster accepted for service with the air force, while the Douglas FH Spook is ordered for tests with the navy. Grumman meanwhile tests a revolutionary flying wing design with the XF-79 fighter (actually the otl Ho 229), alongside the piston engine-powered XB-35 heavy bomber. In the Army, the Rupspanzer IV Ausf. 3 (M4A3 (76)) is introduced as the latest version of the venerable Rupspanzer IV design. Th design proves so adaptable that mass production of the Rupspanzer V (otl T23 medium) is decided against after a limited number having been made. The Rupspanzer VI Elisabeth heavy tank (otl M26 Pershing) also makes its debut in the Royal Army. The designs of the Rupspanzer IV Ausf. 3 and Rupspanzer VI are sent to Borealia, Maryland, and Guyana to allow local production for the dominion armies.
 * Belkan Federation: The corruption scandal that rocked the admiralty a few years ago finally reaches its zenith as finally with all the evidence clear prosecutions are brought towards nearly 4 admirals and 18 captains and numerous other lesser officers and Junior Officers having covered leaving a noticeable hole in the Belkan Admiralty and its officer corps. This forces a radical change in training policy towards the more trustworthy and non corrupt hoping to bring together at least a few new officers together to work towards to future of Naval warfare. The Belkan army sees one of its first drawbacks in army strength in awhile going from nearly 1.5 million troops to nearly 500,000 looking to alleviate budgetry costs and instead of massive early preparation new techniques to mobilize and draw up troop strength is figured out consequently leaving the Belkan army the smallest it has been since just after the Great War. The Economy no long groaning under the weight of a massive armament program for over a million men does see some rebound as normal factory jobs are returned too. The Belkan plan to continue withdrawing from colonies is honored as it leaves many buisinesses under semi joint ownership or on some decent terms with some of the natives as the nearly 20 year pullout begin. This change in pace and restructuring to withdraw Belkan influence back to the motherland stems very noticeably from many facts that it seems to be growing increasingly expensive to maintain overseas colonies with noted financial burdens easing every time another colony is given self government. The Ships that were part of the scandal are begrudgingly refitted with the correct quality steel. The government prepares for its next wave of elections comming in 1944 and campaigning starts with the more isolationist and "withdrawal" party gaining an obvious lead as elections start to spool up. The Belkan aerial forces begin testing newer aircraft and make order to keep the Belkan fighter complement somewhere in the realm of 1500 to 2000 with good scaleability as well as nearly 1000 Close Air support aircraft and 1000 Tactical/Strategic bombers. The Tank Corps adopt its first True medium tank the T-43 tank expertly built and given a gun which can penetrate most modern armor from medium and light tank (and certain spots on Heavy tanks). The Belkan synthetic rubber industry begins to take off as it is gathered that more effective tires and other rubber tools can be made out of the synthetic rubber rather than the raw rubber to be processed. Belka sends out diplomats to many major powers offering to discuss the Panama canal zone and turning it into an international zone for free trade etc...
 * German Dip: This is beneficial to the global economy. We are open to discussing.
 * The Union of Cadiz agrees to attend. 
 * Bresil attends as well, mainly due to the idea having been proposed by the state years prior.
 * Burgundian Dip: Burgundian representatives agree to attend.
 * Sino-Korean diplomacy: China-Korea agrees to attend.
 * Imperial Swahili Federation: The economy continues rapid growth after the recovery from the great Depression. Agricultural mechanization is now spread to parts of the heartland and Somalia, where population density in rural areas has declined following urbanisation and the movement of farmers toward cities. Phase Three of the modernization plan continues. Industry in the interior of Swahili continues to grow. With the rising demand of Europe, Asia and Arcadia, the export industries of Swahili continue to increase. Light industries and textile industries continues growth. Scientific research and development continues booming. After years of work, the Somalian desert is now lined by hundreds of small waterways, which are further reinforced and expanded by trees and plant material. Academic cooperation with India continues. The film, literature, kibonzo and animation industries continue to rise in popularity.Tanks, aircraft, armoured cars and motorcycles also continue production. With the drastically lowered cost of radios, they are now issued en masse to the navy and the army. In the Royal African School, a group of African scholars publish the Pan-African Manifesto in response to the rising tensions in Maghreb. Publications are banned in fear of increasing tensions with European States, although underground copies are quickly spread through Swahili and across the continent. The Sphere Research Institute begins work into nuclear science after the discovery of a large uranium deposit in Shinkolobwe.The Russom Tai continues production, while a land based fighter, the Atiena Kozi (Mitsubushi A6M Zero equivalent) is developed and enters production. With the call from support from Uluru, military support is sent to underground resistance while Swahili veterans are allowed (and encouraged) to join the Arabian-Indian volunteers. On the international stage, Swahili petitions, along with Arabia and India, against the British aggression upon Uluru.
 * Uluru Diplomacy: Swahili offers to sell the exiled navy of Uluru a base in the GIOCPS and several cruisers and destroyers on a loan from a collection of Swahili banks to the royal family of Uluru.


 * China–Korea: Hong Sirong dies a year into his fourth term of office. As a result, his Deputy Minister Li Fengzhu (known also by his Korea name Lee Bongju) ascends to power. Espousing more radical beliefs in both domestic and foreign policy, he implements a series of programs encouraging female participation in the work-force, while further enforcing the observance of worker's rights and expanding on the already pre-existing welfare base. In addition, government control over "key sectors" such as banking, energy and mining, public transport, steel, and arms is guaranteed. He modifies taxation laws so reduce strain on the lower tax brackets. He also attacks large corporations in radio, though his anti-corporate bills receive little support, while his attempted imposition of them as decrees are overridden by the Grand Secretariat. As a result, he reluctantly pursues a more moderate policy of permitting large monopolies (particularly the "Qianzu") in the secondary and mining sectors, while the agricultural and tertiary sectors remain under the control of small-to-medium-sized businesses. China–Korea continues to export textiles, synthetic dyes, and commercial ships, while also exporting appliances, pharmaceuticals, and steel to its Asian trading partners. However, the aviation industry (however using machine parts often imported from foreign sources) is also developed and receives substantial government subsidies. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Greater East Asia (which manages the foreign affairs of China–Korea's protectorates) no longer controls the East Asia Development Board (which oversees regional economic affairs) as a constituent body. Instead, it is under the joint control of the nine members states of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, with China-Korea being promoted as "first among equals". Meanwhile, the Office of the Northern Frontier is reduced to the Office of the Three Cities (of Ulaangom, Sükhbaatar, and Choibalsan), with the goal shifting from the closing of the Manchurian to the Mongolian frontier. The Office of the Northeast Territories is dissolved, with the population of the Kurils and the Sakhalin territories rising to 1.5 million to 400,000 respectively. As a result, they are consolidated into a single entity and granted provincial status. The Office of the Western Pacific is dissolved with the complete settlement of the Yidao (Izu) islands, and the Hua Chinese population in the Ryukyus now reaching a third. However, these islands remain under national jurisdiction as incorporated organized territories under military rule. The Sino–Korean enclave in Japan consisting of the port of Fukuoka and the surrounding region of Western Kyushu (and Shimonoseki) is placed under the control of the Gyeongsang province. The unofficial support of Uluruan resistance through arms exports continues. However, other than continued support for Belka and continued emigration to Alaska, Aztlán, New Granada (and Uluru and Borealia to a lesser extent), China–Korea remains largely neutral in world affairs. Li Fengzhu begins to initiate another naval program, focusing first on the out-phasing of old ships. The 60 corvettes are all given to the Sino–Korean Coast Guard. The number of fleet and escort carriers is reduced to a total of four and eight respectively, the number of heavy cruisers to 20, the number of light cruisers to 24, and the number of destroyers to 96; together with 60 submarines and 12 battleships brings the navy down to ~224 naval vessels, which is organized into a Northern and Southern fleet stationed in Qingdao and Guangzhou respectively. He also patronizes research in tanks and military aircraft.

 * New England: In the 1944 election the Attleeist (they believe in people over State) win with an amazing 94% of the vote.


 * Mod: I shouldn't have to explain how this is implausible, but free healthcare implemented months after the election and a total government change? Probably not. This is strike one.


 * Uniõ de Cádiz: With segregation on the rise a young political activist, Yassir de Santos, comes to prominence in Morocco. The Moroccan-Iberian represents a backlash against segregation. Yassir de Santos launches a political movement with support from hundreds of thousands of Moroccan-Iberians and many from either side of the ethno-religious divide. de Santos, a Catholic, Iberian-speaking, Moroccan of mixed descent has the charisma to appeal to many Iberians as well as Moroccans and Algerians. Yassir and his supporters begin a campaign against segregation. Insisting on peaceful protest, the movement stages marches through major Moroccan cities. The movement eventually collapses as support wanes on both sides of the ethnic divide, leaving the Ibero-Moroccans in a tricky situation. Despite the growing disinterest in tackling segregation issues, the government continues its policing action manage to prevent violence, and with the help of the AIU these actions are reasonably successful. Algeria comes to be dominated by the Integralist Pary which establishes Iberian and Algerian neighborhoods and supports ethnically motivated segregation. However, although the party calls for the separation of Iberians in Algerians it does not name Maghrebi s lesser, rather the party paints the Maghrebis and Iberians as needing to protect their cultural identity under the principle of "Living Apart, Working Together." This principle does not call for the segregation of industry, commerce, and resource production, but only seeks to separate the living arrangments of the Algerians and Iberians. Despite the segregation at home, institutionally the Union constitution, which outlaws open state-sponsored disenfranchisment, prevents the overwhelming destruction of Maghrebi infulence in the economy and they do not generally sink into second-class citizenship thanks to the Maghrebi Community's wealth which sits close to that of Iberians in Algeria and Morocco. The spread of radios and now even televisions connects vast swaths of the population to a rapidly growing Iberian film industry which produces increasingly respeted films about the conquest of the American Southwest by Aztlán, the varrious struggles in the middle east, and others. Economically, the Union experiences sound growth, especially through the middle-sized businesses spun-off from larger industries in the last half-decade. Correia continues production of the HCM. 40/L M, but begins working on a larger, more mobile system able to mount a larger cannon. The Sandoval Model 1943 Selector Rifle is adopted as a the Union service rifle, with several hundred thousand order for production. The Sobremarinho Rancoroso Mk I is ordered by the government to a degree of 200 units, but interest in the new Reavion Meteoro sees the government focus on the potential for jet-powered combat aircraft. The University of Barcelona, now able to create highly enriched Uranium, continues its research. A new series of test-reactors is developed for the next five years to develop the breeding of plutonium. A secret military development board begins work using highly enriched uranium to develop a nuclear-based weapon. The University of Sevilla’s work in Morocco stalls as funding begins to dry-up after decades of government support. The end of the program leaves a legacy of thousands of acres of orchards built in the semi-arid southern slopes of the Atlas mountains. The region, along with the coastal greenhouses, produce a large array of fruit crops throughout the year. Overall population stands at 94.97 million. A new naval renewal program is instituted to replace many of the aging ships of the Union Fleet. Dozens of older destroyers are broken-up to free-up ship crews and funding for a new class of heavy and light cruiser hulls, Asamblea-class, named for former members of the national assemblies of the past. Facing treaty limits and unwilling to scrap dozens of still-effective cruisers, the navy only orders one heavy cruisers and eight cruiser escort carriers. The Inicio and the first two Zapico-D class ships are offered to Aztlán after stripping off their secret radio arays. Aztlán is also offered a selection of older destroyers and destroyer escorts as well as the heavy cruisers if they wish. [Aztlán Diplomacy]
 * República de las Antillas Ibéricas: The development of large port facilities in the south of the Antillas leads to a growing tourism industry which relies on first passenger ships and then mid-sized airplanes to transport tourists across the islands. Oil revenues prop up the entirety of the island chain and migration to Tobago from the northern islands drives large-scale development of the oil regions.

Vinland:five tailess glider airplanes are addded to the airforce whilsth modernization of the army and navy is underway.a wild buffalo escapes from its protected habitata and terririzes the local village until its shot by the natinal guard.
 * Arabia: King Hakim increases naval patrols around the Indian Ocean. Fars (persian part) anxiously prepares to vote for independence. Meanwhile several advisors are sent to Belka to see their highway system for perhaps emulation. Air raid sirens are built, for fear of imminent attack. Meanwhile the Suez Guard force conducts joint patrols with Belkan troops. The "Riveria of the middle east" in Tabuk province is completed. Red Sea islands are developed. An army of 30,000 troops are sent to India. Lions of Babylon tanks are also prepared.
