The Great Peace (Map Game)

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

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

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

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

the Kurdish Miltias, seeing how turkey has been more humane with the treatment of Kurds and the militias being overall less radical, offer turkey the chance for peaceful negotiations.

Kurds in Persia continue to revolt, and this revolt grows in numbers as the Kurds from Arabia come in.

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


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


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

The statues will be placed on the Sugarloaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro facing the sea. The statue will have a height of 70 meters on a 40-meter high foundation. It is a personification of Brazil itself and will depict a young woman holding a torch in her right hand and a shield with the hammer, sickle and rifle symbol of the Communist Party on it in her left hand. A cult of personality starts to evolve slowly around the leader of the Brazilian Workers Party and president of Brazil itself. Brazil also seeks to enter the stage of international diplomacy and joins the UN officially.
