Winter
''' Major revolt occurs in Canadian provinces. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and heavy fights occur; however the winter weather causes some difficulty. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway officially begins construction this year, but starts out slow due to some serious snowfall being a threat. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (aka Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina.
 * United States of America: The United States, tired of these pesky Canadians, orders the the burning of Vancouver, Toronto, Victoria, Winnipeg, and other major cities within US Occupied Canada. The action is carried out and the streets of the targeted cities are lit up with white phosphorus, napalm, and flamethrowers. Meanwhile, plans to wipe out the resistance once and for all begins with the increase in pro-American settlers to Canada, the killing of Canadian Resistance Fighters and their families, and cut off of all supplies to and from Quebec. Meanwhile, exploration of the moon continues and plans for an lunar colony. Testing of a new white phosphorus round begins, and is tested on prisoners and ex-resistance fighters. The drone program continues to do well, and pummels both the drug cartel and Canadian resistance into submission.
 * France: Infrastructure and military is built up. A satellite is sent into space for undisclosed military purposes. France offers the sale of Northern Ireland to Ireland for $1.5m (just more than its GDP) if it becomes an independent member of the Celtic Union. "Trouble makers" are sent from England to India. The stream of settlers to conquered regions continues.
 * Sweden: According to the 1960 elections, Tage Erlander (Social Democrats) beats Goran Assar Oredsson (Nationalist Social League) and Bertil Ohlin (Liberal People's Party) by a small bit, but it still shows the growth of Nazism in Sweden, and increased anti-semitism and anti-Norwegian sentiment. Meanwhile, on January 1, 1961, Sweden officially renounced its 147-year long neutrality, after a majority vote on ending one of Sweden's landmark policies. Starts producing double the tanks and planes, with 10% of the country's GDP going into military. The citizens are being riled up by the "claims" that Norway tried to invade peaceful Sweden, and are in support of ending neutrality, as men sign up at record rate, bringing the military to a massive 150,000 soldiers in reserve. Meanwhile, Italian bases are set up in Stockholm, as Italian soldiers are welcome to use any military base in Sweden, with the new agreements being signed.
 * The Federal Republic of Mexico:the Nation ask France and Italy to Help The Invasion over Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras and Support our Military forces, The Army as well desires to purchase weaponry with Italians and French army to Put under Control the Central American territories up to Panama,We Request one More Time the Third Reich an alliance
 * ​American Diplomacy: Any Invasion of the Americas will result in an war. You already lost a war once.
 * Mexican Diplomacy: What do you mean with the Americas, my plans are to control nations not occupied by your or Any other ally nation, also is it possible to Unify the nation with other countries that share the Culture and life style as far as an Algorithm is Used?
 * I believe there's one, but a mod must do an RNG. And I believe now is a good time to ask for an RNG, because of the Imperialist America.
 * That's an Ironic good News so, I'll ask Doctor to do it, thanks
 * Culture and life style you say? Changing culture of people would take more than 100 years. Good luck. ~Doc
 * The Reich refuses Mexico's offer of alliance
 * With Culture and Life Style are Nearer between all latinoamerican nations so a Unification is More likely than Go on their own to be Invaded by America. Could you Please make the Algorithm to see if they would like to Join, Please?
 * ​Bolivia continues to have a strong economy, which will be vital for remodeling the army to be more fit to reconquer northern Chile. They still continue to plan the coup before it happens so that they can make preparations. They begin supporting fascists in Peru and promote their ideology across the nation.
 * Italian Empire refuses to sell weaponry to Mexico and also refuses to sign an alliance. Italy also sends 65,000 blackshirters to swedish military bases to prepare for an invasion of Norway. Italy states that when the war is over, Sweden and Third Reich can have portions of Norway. Italy also sends 2,000 blackshirters to American Canada to help torture the canadians, as this could be a good experience for them.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and builds more military bases across German occupied territories, focusing on the Netherlands, German East Indies and Russia, and some of these new bases include ICBM silos. Java continues to be cut off from the outside world, and the Reich continues using Java as a testing ground for new weapons as well as a dumping ground for the undesirables. The Welthauptstadt Germania construction project continues and is expected to be completed in the next two years. The Reich continues to fund and support National Socialist parties in northern and eastern Europe to bring these states completely into the fascist sphere, in particular Sweden and Lithuania. The Reich says that as long as Europe remains in the fascist sphere and the axis powers rule supreme then the Reich doesn't mind if they completely control the territory themselves or if Germany's axis allies control the land.
 * India: Troops finally crush the last of the Regular Nepal Army in time for winter. Immediatly all but a garrison force are shipped to indonesia to aid our Japanese allies. Using the skilled workforce supplied from foriegn dissedents, the modernisation of the country progresses. Cheap manufactured goods are sold in foreign markets at low prices. These are not spealised like the exports of other countries and hopefully won't compete with other companies. A program is set up for orphans teaching them to be loyal to India and useful skills to be used in adult life. Many of the boys are taught how to fight and are expected to form specialist units in the army. (similar to Devşirme without the Islam or the Ottomans). The older ones are sent to Germany and Japan to learn modern teachings to help improve the country. The national irrigation system continues to be built. Along side the pipes several large roads are built crisscrossing the country, These are expected to eventually become autoborns.

Spring
''' A huge vertical (height bigger than width) mall collapses in Tokyo, killing 592, injuring 1,302 people. Dust covers half of the city. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and heavy fights continues. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway officially continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (aka Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. In Japan, President Tokugawa Masako is angered at the weather storms that haven't been nice to Japan lately, and she orders the clean up and medical support to the collapsed mall in Tōkyō and also orders that people affected be helped to. Many injured are sent to hospitals. President Tokugawa Masako has the infrastructure in Kōchi be updated and secured, and also establishes in a new constitution that Kōchi City is the official capital of Japan, after the Japanese government had been in Kōchi for quite a few years now.
 * Bolivia continues to spread fascist propaganda across Peru, causing many people to support the ideology. Also, they continue to develop strong industries, including steel and textiles. Farming production rates also improve, allowing Bolivia to become selfsufficient in food.
 * Peru declares war on Bolivia.
 * Bolivia agrees to back down in exchange for end of war.
 * Peru agrees and informs Bolivia that if at least one espionage agent will be caught, Peru will join Chilean side.
 * All Bolivia wants is to spread fascism in Peru.
 * Spreading ideologies in foreign countries is same as declaring war. Peru's word is final.
 * Sweden: On April 2, 1961, during the Easter Sunday of 1961, while Prime Minister Tage Erlander, along with his wife, Alna Erlander, and their children were all assassinated by a terrorist group, who were announced by the government to be Norwegian terrorists, all using Nagant M1895 revolver pistols, a handgun used in Norway. (Though actual evidence would reveal none of the three terrorists was Norwegian. In fact, two were Swedish-born, while the other was Danish, and none even had pro-Norwegian agendas. In fact, they were all Nationalist Social Party supporters. Plus the fact the M1895 has been used before in Sweden also brought up more questions in the future) As no line-of-succession has been developed yet (until 1974 OTL). Emergency power is given to King Gustaf VI, current monarch of Sweden, who announces a State of Emergency. However, Goran Oredsson, leader of the Nationalist Social Party, the pro-Nazi group, takes hold of power immediately. He announces, "Norge kommer att betala för mordet på vår älskade Erlander!" ("Norway will pay for the murder of our beloved Erlander!") He gains instant support all throughout Sweden, and plans are put out for total warfare with Norway. Deals are made with Germany and Italy, for their support, they will get large portions of Norway. Meanwhile, all able-bodied males are called up to the Försvarsmakten to prepare for war, bringing the Armén up to 500,000 soldiers to be put on the offense (with 800,000 soldiers to remain on the defense) while women are told to take over jobs usually reserved for men, (especially ammunition making). Meanwhile, German and Italian soldiers are given full access to Swedish military bases, as we request to join the Axis. 300 Saab 35 Draken, 250 Saab 32 Lansen and 200 Saab 29 Tunnan fighters are placed at Flygvapnet bases bordering Norway, along with working on putting 100 Saab 18 bombers back into operation. In the Marinen, The HSwMS Gotland', Sweden's only Aircraft Carrier, is being refitted for combat for Swedish jet fighters, to be taken to the North Sea. Along for the trip to blockade Norway, while two Tre Kornor-class Crusiers are taken to the sea port city of Bergen, along with three Göteborg-class and two Visby-class Destroyers to escort the Cruisers to Bergen, while two Halland-class Destroyers and both Öland-class Destroyers are to escort the Aircraft Carrier, along with hopeful backup from the Kriegsmarine and Regia Marina assist our ships in the naval warfare. The Swedish Warfare Committee, proposes the division of Norway, in the following method.
 * Sweden gets the South of Norway, including the Capital, Oslo, with North Seaports, and the Troms and Finnmark region, with Tromsø, and Svalbard, along with any part of the ocean or sea connected with the Troms and Finnmark ports.
 * Germany and Italy can choose what part of Norway they wish to control, as Bergen and north will be given to the two countries for them to decide who gets who.
 * Meanwhile, on June 1, Sweden officially declares war on Norway.
 * Denmark declares its neutrality.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: Sweden will not personally attack Denmark at the moment, but we can't make any guarantees if Germany and Italy decides to wage war on Denmark.
 * Italian Empire accepts Sweden into Axis Nations. Meanwhile, they send all the troops they had in Sweden, to fight in Norway. At that point, Italy offers to buy Madagascar from France for 5,000,000ITL. Italy states to Sweden that it wouldn't want any territory, as it would cost a lot to transfer supplies between Norway and Italian Mainland.
 * United States: The United States supported parties gain power in Costa Rica and Belize after an coup led by Special Forces succeeds, and the countries are brought under pro-American fascist sphere. Meanwhile, support is sent to Bolivia to support the Fascist Government against Peru. Drones continue to pummel the drug cartels in Mexico into submission. Ford, General Motors, Dodge, and Microsoft continue to step up their industry, and construction on an tunnel from Florida to Cuba begins, while an tunnel connecting the islands of the Bahamas begins.
 * Italy asks for USA so that Microsoft could also build their another HQ in Rome (funded fully by Italy), so that both nations could research new computer parts and programs.
 * United States/Microsoft D: The United States Federal Government agrees.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: Prime Minister Ordesson sends someone to the United States, in order to allow technology companies, including Microsoft, to build Swedish Headquarters in Stockholm, and the first factories in Malmö and Uppsala.
 * India: The army is reformed with better weapons and vehicles being reissued. The Generals are replaced with their more skilled subordinates. Nepal is officially annexed into India. The Invasion of Indochina continues Indian forces aiding the Japanese by opening up another front in Thailand.
 * What? India has a massive population while Indochina is being invaded simultaneously by the Japanese and India. I said Thailand to show that I was still on Indochina's western border.

Summer
''' Peru begins to prepare their citizens for a war. Many armanment factories are opened and subsidized. Every citizen with clean criminal record is given a weapon to start a rebellion in case of Bolivia invading their motherland. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and heavy fights continues, soon invading the Laos areas. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. In Japan, President Tokugawa Masako also has all new buildings be made stronger and more durable so that incidents like last season doesn't happen again. Meanwhile the clean up and medical help continues and it will be a while until everything safe again.
 * Italian Empire places Denmark and Kingdom of Iceland into its Sphere of Interest(not influence), and asks Third Reich and other Axis members not to do anything with it as Italy has its own plans at the moment, which will later benefit not just Italy but all Axis nations. Meanwhile, railroads are ordered to be upgraded to a much more durable state with better metal.
 * The Reich reminds Italy that Denmark is fascists and a member of the pact of steel/axis powers. The Reich suggests targeting non-allied, antifascist nations such as Iceland rather than its fellow axis nations or else the alliance could collapse in on itself.
 * Check 1958, Spring, bolded text. It clearly says they created Allied organization.
 * Yeah but in 1949 in the Spring, there was a fascist coup and they joined the Pact of Steel. That allies stuff is just an extra alliance, like Germany's aryan alliance. The new Danish constitution adopted in 1953 mentions nothing about democracy so could well be a new fascist constitution. There has been nothing about Denmark becoming non-fascist and if there was, then then the Reich would of intervened to make their fascist neighbours fascist again.
 * Strange, but all right xD
 * Bolivia, realizing their ally is turning on them, declares an arm race between the two countries. They secretly, however, decide that finding another place to invade might show their superiority as preparation for a war against Peru. They chose somewhere, but do not declare war yet.
 * France: Military and industry continues to be built up. Transition of England to a French state continues.
 * India: The military continues to be upgraded. The argicultural reform seems to be paying off as much more food is produced to feed India's huge population.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and builds more military bases across German occupied territories, focusing on the Netherlands, German East Indies and Russia, and some of these new bases include ICBM silos. Java continues to be cut off from the outside world, and the Reich continues using Java as a testing ground for new weapons as well as a dumping ground for the undesirables. The Welthauptstadt Germania construction project continues and is expected to be completed next year. The Reich continues to fund and support National Socialist parties in northern and eastern Europe to bring these states completely into the fascist sphere, particularly in Lithuania.

Autumn
''' Major rain storm blocks many roads of European countries. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and fights in both Laos and Vietnam areas with some progress. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. Also in Korea a few early winter snowfalls poses danger to some roads in the area. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina.
 * France: An attempt to help those affected by the floods begins. The military is brought in to help. In England, place names are now legally in French causing some confusion. Learning French is now completely mandatory. Nuclear testing continues in the African desert. France offers the sale of Northern Ireland to Ireland for $1.5m (just more than its GDP) if it becomes an independent member of the Celtic Union. (Mod please.)
 * ​Ireland agrees and buys Northern Ireland from France.
 * Italian Empire begins to cut down and transport the trees away, which blocked the roads during the storm.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and continues to test weapons and dumping ground for the undesirables of the Reich. The Welthauptstadt Germania construction project continues and is expected to be completed next year. The Reich continues to fund and support National Socialist parties in northern and eastern Europe to bring these states completely into the fascist sphere, particularly in Lithuania. The clean up operation in the Reich is well organised and roads are cleared up quickly, new guttering systems and drains are built into the autoban network so heavy rain in the future will cause less damage. River defences are also built up to prevent as much destruction in the future.
 * India: The military continues its buildup. The fighting in Indochina continues. The Indian Navy is increased by a dozen ships build over the last year. The first class of Japanese trained engineers arrives back. Work on hydropower dams across india begins under their leadership. Several diplomats are sent into afganistan to make contact and alliances with several of the larger tribes.
 * You lost the war. The End. Afghanistan and all your "larger tribes" also deny your alliance offers.
 * Why are you acting like this? I'm not trying to start a flame war with you. I just want to understand how I'm acting unreasonable so I can stop it.
 * Please remember that India has gained independence not so long ago, and as it was colony. The army recruitment was not that high, because it didn't have players for some time now, so you do not have enough power to win a war against that nation, which existed longer than you.
 * Sweden: It is unknown if Norway had accepted the declaration of war, despite a few border skuffles, despite the country's large offensive of 500,000. Some believed that Norway had an equally as high defense force at the time. (Seriously, it's been two turns now, and not even Italy and the Third Reich, or anyone has mentioned the war). However, after heavy rain hits the southern parts of the country (It probably isn't as bad as the countries to the south, but still noticable), effort is put into repairing the cities to the south. The Regeringen rethinks its plans on the war in Norway, as there seems to be not enough interest, and instead is planning different plans. Prime Minister Oredsson proposes to the Norwegians, instead of conflict, that Norway join the Axis, and all conflict will end, in fact, it will be a new alliance. (In all honesty, the Swedish Fascists hate the Soviets far more than they hated Norway, even at the height of the anti-Norwegian rage).
 * Bolivian Diplomacy: It asks Sweden for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We agree to an alliance and trade, and will send 3,000 soldiers to help Bolivia.
 * Italy does not want Norway to join Axis and will prepare for a war next year. Italy recommends that Sweden would prepare to fight in winter.
 * United States: The United States begins plans to annex the country of Nicaragua, which has an pro-United States goverment within. Meanwhile, the military SECRETLY switches from destroying the drug cartels, to begin funding pro-United States secessionists in the northern Mexican states. The military masses along the Canadian-American border to destroy the Canadian remnants once and for all.
 * Bolivia continues its arms race against Peru. They continue to expand their ever-growing military economy and the military itself. They declare war on Paraguay as a way to expand their territory and show off its upper irony to Peru.
 * Italy sends military aid of 10,000 blackshirts and supplies to Bolivia to help them in the war.
 * Mexican Federal Republic: the Nation offers Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia and Honduras to Join the Nation, To form an Alliance Against fascist Nations that want to Take Over us (Mod Please do the Algorithm), While seeing the Action of the Secessionists in Northern Mexico, Government decides to Put them down, and Start Monitoring those suspected to be Helping them, to discover if its an American Plan,SECRETLY drug Cartels are ask to Help against An American invasion campaign knowing the government that if The American try to take over they will not Have any outsider help, The Military Start Spending Money on Funding anti american Parties and Bringing Scientifics to The nation to Fight of Any Invasion on Mexican territorie


 * ​ No metagaming between IC and OOC information in my map game. Ever.
 * The nations stated above refuse.
 * Screw this, one of the mods is acting like a prick for no apparent reason, India resigns.
 * Ok. Bye.
 * Well first of all since i join i showed a disconfort against america,i once even said that i don't trust americans in this game,and suspisions can be acceptable considering the invasion on canada, and america did the same in major senses,the only hard to believe thing i did was an alliance with drug cartels the rest and scientist to the nation. and pretty much you aren't allowing any non facist nation to Expand or to fight against them,i agree with the Indian player and Please post the algorythm To actually see that they Refused Please
 * The drug cartels will never, never ally against the United States, as that is their main consumption of drugs.
 * Once again, no metagaming or powergaming in my map games. What doesn't require algorithm, does not get algorithm, if it already looks stupid and unacceptable. I'm not holding you if you don't like my map game, you can leave any second you want. Now if you excuse ourselves, please visit the talk page and rage there, or don't rage at all. Thanks. ~Doc
 * Drugs cartels will never never let a Powerful nation to take the land that they use to produce and to Stop them so I think an alliance though hard and against both sides hate,they cartels are mexican and in this timeline that would probably mean Nationalism as seeing an Expansionist America, and would also Like to see the War Algorithm please, and I don't find the idea stupid, as a Democratic nations see themselves captured Between Fascists it would be wise to join forces Against them to Defend Themselves Just stating the why of My request and I based of this Unifying with other countries
 * It is no longer 1935. No unifications will ever happen again. People want independence, not culture asimilation.

Winter
''' Stable winter temperature attracts many tourists to Tibet and Indian Nepal. Rebel movements begin in India, as not enough suppression was given. Rebels demand democratization of India. '''
 * Italian Empire sends an aid of 10,000 blackshirts to help India get rid of the rebels and continue being fascist. Italy declares war on Norway and initiates the offensive doctrine.


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and fights in both Laos and Vietnam areas with some more progress. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. Meanwhile the weather looks relativity easygoing this season for Korea, China, and Japan. Snow falls in Karafuto, Hokkaidō and Northern Japan, but doesn't pose any major threats. President Tokugawa Masako sends 2500 Japanese military to India to keep them fascist as well.
 * Bolivia continues their secret invasion of Paraguay. Due to the small size and small population, they manage to take the northern part of the country, and begin to take away the central part. They SECRETLY continue the coup as planned, but are not sure when it will be launched.
 * United States: Support of pro-US secessionist movements continue in northern Mexico, and Nicargua is annexed as an US Territory due to the pro-government that was installed into the United States. The US offers to sell American Siberia to the Empire of Great Japan. Microsoft, Ford, Dodge, and General Motors continue to step up their industry. Funding of pro-US anenxation in Canada, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Belize continues, and the coup in the country of Belize begins. Humans in the military are slowly becoming replaced by drones, but it will be by 2012 that 50% of the armed forces will be drones, and the other 50% will be human.
 * Empire of Great Japan diplomacy: President Tokugawa Masako accepts the offer, and pays them the money for it.


 * Sweden: Prime Minister Oredsson, initally not wanting to invade Norway, is replaced with a more Nazi-friendly face, Per Engdahl, after being caught in a scandal that he wanted to work with Norway, rather than invade them. Prime Minister Engdahl promises to give the Central sections of Norway to the Third Reich (Italy has previously stated that they don't want any land), but wants the Southern and Northern areas to become part of Swedish territory. Expecting to have the willpower, and with Oslo near the border, there are plans for the Invasion of Oslo.
 * Bergen, Haugesund and Stavangar will be bombed first, by 15 Saab 18 bombers, perched on the HSwMS Gotland where they will attempt to lower morale, and to take out Military bases, that could respond quickly to an attack on the capital.
 * 70 of the Saab 18's will be reserved for an attack on Oslo, backed up by 250 Saab 32 Lansen, which will firebomb the Capital city and its nearby cities to submission, followed by an invasion of 380,000 soldiers, and 300 tanks and 500 APV's (not sure what they would use in this timeline), will be sent in alongside the Oslo Invasion Force.
 * 10 Saab 18's will bomb Tromsø, and other areas of the North, where there aren't as many people, though this invasion will be mainly Swedish-done, since Italian and Nazi forces may not be able to stand the extreme cold. 120,000 soldiers will be sent, alongside 100 Tanks, and 200 APV's specially modified to withstand Arctic conditions.
 * The attacks begin on February 1.
 * If the Reich would be able to build a series of military bases across Norway and Sweden, then the Reich will give up the territory it is gaining from Norway to Sweden.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We accept the agreement.
 * French Diplomacy: France will assisst Sweden.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and continues to test weapons and dumping ground for the undesirables of the Reich. The Welthauptstadt Germania construction project is completed and a huge celebration/opening ceremony happens on New years in recognition of the new capital and to the future brilliance of the German Reich. The Reich continues to fund and support National Socialist parties in northern and eastern Europe to bring these states completely into the fascist sphere, particularly in Lithuania. The Reich sends its military forces into Norway as part of the Swedish army and the navy blockades Norway too.
 * France: continues to build and improve the military in preperation for the Norway campaign. The Victory Hall prject is ahead of schedule and will be completed by summer. This will co-incide with "Victory Day" which is planned to be held every July 21st to celebrate the successful British campaign. France informs Germany and Italy to choose three potential astronauts each to be sent to the moon in various missions. Francois de La Rocque, supreme leader of France, is now 76 years old and announces that after the celebrations he will retire from full-time leadership and hand leadership to Alfred Martel, a senior member of government. La Rocque will have still have a say in running the country until his death. A campaign begins to big up Martel. France makes an attempt to turn Ireland into a fascist state and satellite.
 * Italian Empire states that it doesn't want to participate in any space-related programs, as it believes it's just waste of resources and another stupid "prestige" thing, which doesn't make any sense. Italy gives a friendly refuse.
 * France politely accepts and understands Italy's refusal, although it reminds them that the missions are for the purpose of scientific research and to investigate the possibilities of colonies.
 * The Third Reich agrees to send some German astronauts to take part in the space mission. The Reich is however a bit sceptical as they know it will be many more decades before the technology for space colonization will be available.
 * France Thanks, Germany. It acknowledges the scepticism, and says that this is a very long-term project.
 * Mexican Federal Republic Ask for an alliance with Bolivia and Ask for American support to take over Colombia. In the Political News a Fascist Party Takes Over after the Election Gives Power to them the Republic Keep its Name yet It's Fascist.
 * American Diplomacy: America will support you.

Spring
''' Ireland, after a lot of foreign involvement, gets into a coup d'etat and the government is replaced by fascists. '''
 * Italian Empire recognizes new Irish government and sends 5,000 blackshirts to help them neutralize any rebels. Meanwhile, Italy keeps pushing Norway away from the capital city of Oslo. New railroads are being built in Libya to help transport the slaves into labour camps. Italy also invites all nations to the feast where nations will sign the recognition of Ethiopia belonging to Italy. This will turn the annexation into a recognized territory of Italy and thus will require international recognition for ethiopian rebels to gain Casus Belli.


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and fights in both Laos and Vietnam areas with more progress made, and soon Vietnam falls. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. Soon some severe thunderstorms hit China, Korea, and Japan and soon a Tornado was reported in Akita Prefecture, killing ten and injuring 120. President Tokugawa Masako sends aid and help to Akita Prefecture to help clean up after the Tornado.
 * Mexican Federal Republic: after the fascist take over the Nation Prepares its Army to Invade Colombian terrain with Help from the Americans they send troops to the Caribbean and Some to the Pacific Coast of Colombia in an attempt to take them in fast strike, Economic trade is asked to Japan and Italy to help its Fascist to take full control over Mexican territory.
 * Can You Please Stop Using Capital Letters In Each Word? It Looks Kind Of Weird, Don't You Think?
 * France: Friendly diplomats are sent to Ireland to assist the regime. A major operation is initiated to stamp out illegal groups in preperation for the July celebrations. Subsequently, the leaders of the "English Liberation Front" are found and executed, with other members sent to India. Immigration to colonies continues, and in some English cities the richest areas are starting to become French dominated. Preperations begin for the launch of a rocket to the moon (possible? - Yeppers) in the Summer. France suggests that Ireland and the Celtic Union consider a full union as they are both struggling economically, although it accepts that it is their own choice.
 * Sweden: Oslo is firebombed repeatedly, as 70 bombers strike the Capital, attacking in the morning, to kill as many civilians as possible, as per the Commander's orders. However, the Luftforsvaret (Royal Norwegian Air Force), isn't backing down, and is sending many fighter planes. While aircraft take off the HSwMS Gotland, and attack Bergen, and other coastal cities, to hope that they can't be sent to defend Oslo. (Since TDZinc doesn't seem to be on, can Mods decide what would happen in a conflict like this?). Since it is believed that the bulk of defense will be in the South, the North will be easier to take over, despite the lower number of troops deployed. In diplomatic news, we will come to Italy's celebration, and recognize that Ethopia is now part of the Italian Empire, and we send diplomats and gifts to Ireland, for becoming Fascist. We would be happy to allow French soldiers to join in on the fight, along with the offer of giving them the coastal city of Molde, along with the surrounding region of Møre og Romsdal. The Germans are happy to pick Norwegian territory between Lillehammer and the Arctic Circle. The Military budget's massive increase has allowed for a new Aircraft Carrier to be built at a shipyard in Gothenburg, along with three Destroyers (two which were planned to be of the Halland-class destroyers, which will finally be built, along with one new destroyer.) While a shipyard in Udeevalla, will build ten new Frigates, under the title of Udeevalla-class. The Air Force will get a facelift, with over 300 Saab 105's which will be modified to be jet fighter/bombers instead of trainer aircraft.
 * The Reich doesn't want any territory in Norway, so Sweden can have it. We just want to be able to build a load of military bases across Norway and Sweden.
 * Bolivia conquers most of Paraguay, leaving the southern region behind. They continue to prepare for any future war and continue to improve the economy and military for the country. They decide to launch the coup on Peru now. Pro-fascist-Bolivian Peruvian politicians and military officials siege the city, demanding the transition of the government to fascism.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and continues to test weapons and dumping ground for the undesirables of the Reich. The Reich continues to fund and support National Socialist parties in northern and eastern Europe to bring these states completely into the fascist sphere, particularly in Lithuania. The Reich continues to help Sweden take over Norway. Work begins on building the military bases in Sweden and work will commence in Norway on the military bases once the war is over.

Summer

 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and soon Laos is almost defeated, and soon Cambodia is invaded next. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. Thunderstorms continue to be a problem in Korea and Japan, but not like in Spring. However, a few thunderstorms do cause minor damage in Ehime Prefecture, and are repaired later.
 * Bolivia Takes over all of Paraguay, annexing it in the name of Bolivia. The coup in Peru is successful, establishing a fascist pro-Bolivian government in Peru . To gain people's support for fascism, they spread propaganda throughout the country, calling for those to accept it.


 * All right that's it. If I could, I would cross it 100000 times and only after that throw that sentence into the rubbish bin. You are not to ever do that with NPC nations. Ever.
 * What about the coup then?!
 * It won't happen. Unless you want a war with both Peru and Chile.
 * France: Victory Day celebrations get underway. The Victory Hall is opened by Martel and the first parliament is held. In Paris fireworks, et al, light up the sky in a celebration akin to Bastille Day. Crowds cheer La Roque as he symbolically shakes hands with Martel to symbolise the transition of power. People all over the empire crowd around television sets to watch this and the space ship "Europa" take off, heading toward the moon. It lands four days later and initial contact from the astronauts appears positive. There are minor disturbances in some cities, especially in Londres (London), but the perpetrators are caught and sent "away".
 * Sweden: Finnmark and Trøms have been taken over, along with other parts of Northern Norway, where the battles went faster after the snow is gone, and that it's almost always bright during the summer. (Midnight Sun). Though it's a double-edged sword, since fatigue increases, with constant sunshine. We congratulate France on launching its first spaceship. The battle still continues to rage in Oslo though.
 * French diplomacy: France thanks Sweden and promises to send troops trained for urban combat to assist with the battle.
 * Italian Empire continues to invade Norway.

Autumn
''' Revolt network gets higher and higher around the world as new communication companies open up. This, however, does not start any revolts, but gets stronger and stronger each day. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and Laos doesn't fall quite just yet, and in Cambodia becomes a small stalemate. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. In Japan, Korea, and China they begin to slowly control the media and push in more propaganda to prevent any possible revolts the best they can. However a few people in begin to start complaining about the government, but are quickly taken away by the 'police' and are put elsewhere.
 * France: After the celebrations die down, the country seems relatively comfortable. Martel is generally liked, although he has much to live up to in the eyes of many Frenchmen. The astronauts return from their journey to much praise. They return with rock samples and some other data about where they landed. The French and Pact of Steel flags now fly with the Swastika. A satellite is prepared to go into orbit around the moon and map the terrain. The issue of greater communications is addressed in parliament, leading to a law being passed that communication companies wishing to start up must get a licence. The messages passed through any networks will be subsequently monitored.


 * Bolivia SECRETLY asks Argentina to side with Bolivia in case of war. (RNG please). Meanwhile, they begin building fortifications at the borders of Chile and Peru. Industry continues to go on the rise as transportation infrastructure is improved and the country becomes more sustainable in products.
 * Argentina will side with Bolivia, as it is already part of Axis Nations.
 * Mexican Federal Republic:after a few months of Combat the North terrains of Colombia are Secured. The Army Ask Support From Bolivia and America to Continue Expanding To Take Completely Colombia and Ecuador. In the Northern states of Mexico the Citizens are taught to Have a Pro Mexican Ideal, To keep to avoid any Outside Invasion of Mexican Sovereignty though the Major threat to us was America and there seems to be no attempt to take Mexican since years ago
 * United States: The United States continues to support Mexico, and prepares for a military invasion of Liberia to regain its former colony. Meanwhile, the military is expanded and the navy continues to produce ships. The media is monitored, and Fox and CNN become puppet companies of the United States government.
 * Italian Empire returns the noble rulership system, where only nobles are allowed to use phones and other communication services. Internal espionage starts within Italian Mainland to find any traitors of the nation. Meanwhile, Italy starts the board game creation contest and invites people from Third Reich, France and other nations to participate.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and the Reich continues to help Sweden take over Norway. Work on building German military bases in Sweden continues as does construction of German military bases in the parts of Norway where the fighting is over. The Reich supports a fascist coup in Lithuania too, and a National Socialist party takes control of Lithuania.
 * Sweden: The war continues in Oslo, where thousands of Norwegian's militia continue to defend their Capital. As we promised, the German, Italian and French will be promised bases all over Sweden and Norway at the end of the invasion. President Engdhal demands an ultimatum, asking that the Norwegian government surrender immediately, or promises that the invasion will end very bloodily. Much of Norway, due to concentration in the Southern portions, have been conquered by the Försvarsmakten.

Winter
''' Norway surrenders to Axis Powers. '''


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina but a stalemate occurs due to another winter snowstorm causing problems as always. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. A rare violent winter tornado occurs in Northern Korea, causing some major damage. After the storm, clean up and other help is sent there.
 * Bolivia, in the absence of Peru, declares Argentina its most vital ally. It begins aiding Argentina with economic and military advisors to make Argentina a strong nation just like Bolivia. They SECRETLY prepare for a future war with Peru and Chile and help Argentina SECRETLY do the same thing.
 * Sweden: With Norway surrendering to the Axis Powers, celebrations go on all over Stockholm and other Swedish cities. As long as everyone accepts Swedish rule, there will be no brutality allowed against Norwegian citizens. As a reward, Norwegian citizens will continue to be treated equally, thanks to not attempting to strike back, as long as Conscription into the Försvarsmakten (Swedish Armed Forces) is accepted by locals. We thank Italian, German and French soldiers for assisting, and as promised, are allowed to develop bases all over Sweden and Norway. Unlike Norway, there are plans to peacefully annex Finland into Sweden, and form the Andra Stormaktstiden (Second Great Power, also known as the Second Swedish Empire).
 * France: Thanks Sweden and begins to build a base in Norway. France again, as many years ago, demands that Andorra allow them to cross the border and search for criminals as it believes that even more are now in hiding there. Native English are now systematically deported in an effort to get rid of as many as possible.


 * Italian Empire Begins a genocide of Norway's most intelligent people.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: How about instead sending Norway's smartest people to research facilities in Stockholm and Uppsala. You're free to kill as many Norwegians in secret if you want otherwise. (If the atrocities go public, it will bring about a rebellion, and things may go a lot worse...)
 * Italians kindly refuse to send the people to swedish research facility, and instead, sends more blackshirts to italian Norway, in order to speed up the process and cut the rebellion network.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and work on building German military bases in Sweden and Norway continues as Germany looks to create an inpeneterable military shield protecting Europe.

Spring
''' Nothing of interest happens. '''
 * Bolivia continues to cooperate with Argentina to bring to a level simlar to Bolivia. They SECRETLY plan that By the next year war will begin. They continue the build-up of forces at the Peruvian and Chilean borders in case of attack. They continue mobilization and industrialization.
 * France: Forces start to amass at the Andorran border. France gives Andorra one last chance.
 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and the stalemate is broken, but advancement goes slowly. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and continues helping with Japan's invasion of Indochina. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up, and continues helping Japan invade Indochina. A Flower Festival is held in Korea dedicated to many unique and wonderful flowers among other things, and some government officials even go there.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Saudi monarchy is overthrown following a corruption scandal involving King Saud as well as growing discontent over a conscription system to ward off what the king had feared was an Axis threat to Saudi territories, especially from France to the north. The King is beheaded on the fifteenth of February. A power vacuum arises which is filled by a rebel from the east named Saleh Al-Muhaya, in his twenties and sufficiently young and active to retain his power. The Royal Family is rooted out in its entirety and each member is hanged from a bridge in Riyadh. With proclamations of allegiance to the Axis Powers, (particularly actions under the aegis of the 'One Step Further' project of foreign policy and diplomacy towards the Axis) the new Leader garners massive public support while secretly rooting out suspected monarchists to be shot or placed in camps in the Arabian Desert, and building up the military to counter the 'southern threat'. In March the country is renamed New Arabia. By April there is only a minimal amount of resistance remaining. The re-organisation of Saudi Arabia is complete.
 * Sweden: Talks are going through with Finland, to have a peaceful reunification of the Swedish Empire. Italians and Germans are given free reign to do as they please with Norway, as long as the country remains part of our Empire. After Finland, plans are being drawn up for an Axis all-out attack on the Soviet Union, with the plans being sent to Germany and Italy.
 * What Soviet Union? o.O It no longer exists for more than ten years.
 * Then who is the Axis next big enemy?
 * Nobody. Otherwise, we would've been destroyed him/her already.
 * United States: The United States declares war on the Canadian remnants, and launches an three-progned attack into Canada. Meanwhile, the military begins to prepare for an aphibious invasion of Australia, Liberia, South Africa.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and work on building German military bases in Sweden and Norway continues as Germany completes their missile-military base shield protecting Europe.

Summer
''' Trains collide north-east of Paris. 13 people are injured. No deaths. The collision happened due to malfunction of the train signals. Possibly due to lack of electricity. Police department suggests government investigation. '''
 * France: The stretch of railway which the crash happened on is closed off whilst the scene is examined. An official enquiry is launched. Later, all signallers are checked over for faults but nothing is found. The investigation will continue for a while yet. Martel, on his way the Victory Day celebrations, visits the injured in hospital. (Also, could a mod gauge Andorra's reaction, please?)
 * ​It would be a bad idea to inherit Andorra, because as you haven't noticed all other city states around the world are still not conquered, and even fascist nations would see this action as bad.
 * New Arabia: Saleh Al-Muhaya initiates sweeping reforms in the country, beginning an enormous recruitment movement for planned military movement. Established camps in the desert are left open and approximately 50,000 people are worked to death building a new road network. Capitalising on this success, Al-Muhaya abolishes social welfare and gives the unemployed the chance to work in the desert for the same rate, providing basic accommodation for men, their families and their children. An option also is to join a reserve force for a low wage in preparation for expansion. Research on chemical warfare is begun. On July 12th, Saudi Arabia announces its annexation of Yemen and Oman. It asks for Axis allegiance in the quelling of possible revolts.


 * You'll need a war algorithm to invade and annex nations. Yemen and Oman aren't going to give up without a fight. ~Von.
 * Bolivia hires some of the world's best military geniuses to help retrain the Bolivian army to help them gain more experience. Defenses across Peru and Chilean borders continue. They continue to support Argentina in its modernization and industrialization program.


 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako continues to invade Indochina and soon more advancement is made and soon the remains of Indochina is conquered, but fighting continues to defeat the remaining opposer. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up.
 * Sweden: Negotiations continue, to annex Finland and to the East of the Former Soviet Union, promising better living quality for its citizens, either way, the military is still moving its troops to the Finnish border, along with the Marine, in case Finland refuses to become part of Sweden once again. An alternate idea is going around, with plans of a Sweden-Finland union, similar to Denmark-Norway, or Austria-Hungary of the past.
 * Finland's government will agree to Sweden annexing their lands, under the condition that Sweden will pay $20,000 to each Finnish government members(there are approx. 120 members).
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We accept the proposal of paying $2 400 000 US in secret to the Finnish government, to allow for a peaceful annexation.
 * Italian Empire suggests to Third Reich not to accept New Arabia to the Axis Nations, because it worships different religion.
 * New Arabia secretly tells the Italian Empire that that was Al-Muhaya's intention but stopping religion at this early stage of the new regime would almost certainly have led to revolt. It promises that religion will be abolished in the next one to two years.
 * Italian Empire reminds that forcing people to change their religion will cause a civil war, no matter if it happens after one-two or fifty-sixty years. And the war will of course not be on the winning side of New Arabia.
 * An sudden and outright ban on religion, certainly, but moving slowly to make it socially unpopular until it is only a minimal force in the country, should work.
 * And, you do realise that even your soldiers do worship that religion, and making them change their minds at least a bit will make you highly hated and vulnerable.
 * We will agree to differ and see how it goes.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and the network of German military bases in Sweden and Norway, as well as the rest of Europe (mostly in the German controlled territories) is completed and the new missile-military base shield makes Europe almost completely protected from enemy air strikes. Quite who would dare such a thing though is still up for debate mind you. Germany also show little interest in New Arabia as the Reich sees helping out another weak nation join the axis world order, especially an Islamic one mostly with people of inferior race; not a good enough cause to risk the lives of German soldiers.
 * New Arabia accepts the decision of the Third Reich and offers to open trade relations, including oil.
 * The Reich agrees to start trading with New Arabia on a larger scale.
 * Mexico:they campaign to annex Colombia continues and in an attempt to organize better the nation the Fascist ask the Reich for an advice on how to organize the nation (I have American help to take Colombia).

Autumn

 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako begins to plan out her invasion of Thailand. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up. Meanwhile the Mid-Autumn Festival is made a national public holiday in China on the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese calender.
 * New Arabia continues building of the military and transport systems. Apostasy is decriminalised. A movement to begin the emancipation of women is begun, beginning to elevate women to the same human rights position as men. The government secretly seizes control of television and radio. Military bases are secretly built along the Yemeni border. The government broadcasts propaganda of New Arabia as a utopian state. The fifteenth of February is declared 'Freedom in Arabia Day' and is named a public holiday with great parades and festivals to be held in Riyadh and other cities. Reforms and research are begun in medicine. Envoys are sent to Italy, France, the United States, Sweden and Japan offering trade relations.
 * President Tokugawa Masako of Japan accepts New Arabia's offer of trade relations.
 * Swedish-Finnish Diplomacy: Prime Minister Engdahl of Sweden-Finland accepts New Arabia's offer of a trade and economic alliance.
 * France: Accepts New Arabia's offer.
 * Italy accepts.
 * Bolivia continues to prepare itself and Argentina for war. Because Peru is all mountains, they train their troops to adapt to such terrain. They continue mass industrialization and mass mobilization. They continue strengthening border fortifications in Chile and Peru. They also continue to build of Argentina's military and navy.
 * Sweden-Finland: On October 1, 1963, the Kingdom of Sweden becomes the Kingdom of Sweden-Finland, and promises that Finnish will be a second language in the newly christened Sweden-Finland, and will be taught in schools in Sweden as well, (though Swedish must be taught as a second language in Finland as required) There is a mix of celebration and disobedience in Finland, many who missed how Finland was considered equal in the powerful Swedish Empire, others are nationalists, who either attack government buildings, or escape into Russian territory. A provisionary government is allowed in Helsinki, to deal with local matters, though the government in Stockholm still deals with everything in Sweden-Finland, and has the final say. The saying of Second Swedish Empire is controversial among Finnish citizens, but prefer the title Second Great Power (Andra Stormaktstiden or in Finnish, Kakkos-Suurvalta).
 * France: Infrastructure and military capacity is improved and testing continues in South America. The first pocket calculator is released; it is very expensive. Construction of a channel tunnel between Calais and Douvres begins. Preperations begin for the total absorbtion of Wallonia which, as a mainly French-speaking area, wishes to split from the rest of Belgium (which, after the split, would be called Flanders). The Channel Islands, now free of English presence, are quickly becoming a popular home for the rich and famous. Deportation of English continues.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and the Reich also begins to fund National Socialist parties in Latvia and Estonia, so these two nations can be taken over by National Socialist coups with German military backing. The Reich also begins to worry about the National Socialists losing power in Lithuania as calls for a general election in Lithuania intensify and the Reich has doubts whether Lithuania's government would remain National Socialist.

Winter

 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako will begin invading Thailand next season. Meanwhile Sony, Mitsubishi and Toshiba continue to step up their industry. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up. Later, a Winter Festival is held in Sapporo, Hokkaidō and many Snow Statues are seen. A Snow Statue of a Fiat 500 is also seen there, among other few small compact cars.
 * New Arabia: Most other religious crimes are gradually decriminalised. The death penalty is standardised to firing squad only and not beheading etc. The military is increased. Military bases are built all along New Arabia's southern borders. Plans come into effect to gradually irrigate the desert and farm it. Research is begun into chlorine and mustard gas as weapons of warfare. Weapons production is increased.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and the Reich also begins to fund National Socialist parties in Latvia and Estonia, so these two nations can be taken over by National Socialist coups with German military backing. The Reich also begins to worry about the National Socialists losing power in Lithuania as calls for a general election in Lithuania intensify and the Reich has doubts whether Lithuania's government would remain National Socialist. It reaches boiling point as elections are planned to take place next year, and the Reich sets about sending the Gestapo in to kill off the opposition to the Lithuanian National Socialists.
 * Sweden-Finland: With Scandanavia under control, Sweden-Finland is now the most powerful force in the Far North. Norwegians are slowly rising back to first-class citizens. Vidkun Quisling, who was given control of Norway after the Axis invasion, passes away at the age of 77 peacefully in his home, Gimle, in Oslo. Former Swedish Diplomat to Norway, from the 50's, Oskar Karlsson, is appointed as Ministerpresident (Minister-President) of the Liberated State of Norway (Norska Frisatt där). Plans for an invasion of Iceland are planned in Stockholm, now with full access to the North Atlantic, and with Norwegians being given more freedom, as long as they support the Swedish reign.
 * Bolivia with its ally Argentina declares war on Peru and Chile. It leaves Chile to Argentina and Peru to itself. Troops begin to slowly advance across the mountains to battle Peruvian troops. The aim is to take Lima, as they will topple the government there.

1965
Greater Europe (Map Game)
 * Empire of Great Japan: Japan continues to build up their military and improve infrastructure. President Tokugawa Masako begins invading Thailand. Fuji Speedway continues construction. In Korea, 'Kim Doo-kwan' (Makoto Tokugawa) continues to spread pro-fascist-imperialist propaganda throughout the nation and the Korean military is built up, and aid is sent to help Japan against Thailand. In China, President 'Huang Ming' (Tokugawa Yoshimitsu) has the Chinese military built up and also sends aid to help Japan against Thailand. Meanwhile the second series of the Mazda B1500 is released and a few of it is used for military purposes.
 * New Arabia declares war on and begins the invasion of Yemen. (Could somebody help me with the algorithms here please?) The army begins a push downwards to the East in an attempt to close off and surround the country. Research is continued on military technology in an attempt to intimidate the enemy. New Arabia asks the states with which it has trade relations for material aid in the war.
 * Bolivia's continues to slowly push through the Andes through Peru. But due to the fact Bolivia prepared much earlier, it has somewhat of an advantage. They see Chile being decimated by Argentina considering the country's size. Once Chile is done, Argentina will help Bolivia against Peru.
 * Mexico:After securing the Guajira and Antioquia under Control, the Mexican army with American support push through Norte de Santander and Choco in an attempt to seize any possible outside help to the Colombians. In diplomatic matters Mexico asks the Bolivians for an agreement or an alliance to avoid conflict between us and mutual help to conquer Colombia and Peru respectively
 * Sweden-Finland: As the HSwMS Gotland and the new HSwMS Öland, are both positioned near Iceland, with 20 Saab 35 Draken jet fighters are prepared to bomb Reykjavík and other portions of Southern Iceland, unless the Kingdom of Iceland surrenders immediately. About ten Destroyers, and 25 Transport ships (some were of Norwegian make, put into use into the Swedish-Finnish Navy after victory in the War), where 25,000 soldiers and 200 tanks are ready to bring hell to Icelandic citizens, unless a Surrender Notice is sent by March 21, 1965 December 31, 1965 (the end of the turn). Changed date since we're going by One-Year Turns.
 * The Third Reich amps up the military and the Reich also continues to fund National Socialist parties in Latvia and Estonia, so these two nations can be taken over by National Socialist coups with German military backing. The Reich also applauds Lithuania after the National Socialists retained power in Lithuania in the general election. This is thanks mostly to the Gestapo killing off much of the opposition leaders. This then resulted in the Lithuanian opposition parties attacking a Lithuanian National Socialist rally, killing hundreds of nazi supporters and a lot of the upper echelons of the Lithuanian National Socialist party. This causes Lithuania to fall into civil war so the Reich decides to intervene and invade to create a more puppet like National Socialist regime in Lithuania, as it seems the majority of Lithuania is pro-democracy but too scared to openly oppose the Nazis.
 * So we playing a turn as one year now rather than a season I take it? ~Von
 * Yes
