Dawn of War (Map Game)

The year is 1948, the Second World War has just ended. The victorious allies stand triumphant in Berlin and Rome declaring the end of the War in Europe, while the United States swiftly occupies Japan and Korea to prevent the spread of Communism.

However, with the victories in Asia and Europe, the battle in the Americas ended in a stalemate. The recently formed Federation of the Americas supported the Second Mexican Empire and its Axis allies completely reversing the front and forming a stalemate following Federation conquests of the majority of the Caribbean - particularly Cuba. In exchange for peace and the recognition of Federation annexations in the Caribbean the US demanded complete detachment from the remaining War in the Pacific allowing the US to focus on its only remaining enemy. Japan was kept alive only by the timely intervention of the Federation in 1943.

The War in Asia concluded in 1948 with Japan losing Korea to a mass uprising in favor of an attempted democracy as well as the US securing them as an ally to use against Japan now completely surrounded. The end of the war by American nuclear weapons led to the development of a new global power mechanic. Multiple great powers spread across the globe rather than clustered together, all rushing to gain nuclear weapons. The year is 1948. Make each country your own.

Rules
The Main Rules of the Game are as follows. If any issues crop up, Me+mods will convene to edit or consider adding or changing rules.


 * The main goal of these rules are to keep the game realistic. Every turn must be plausible and no one can achieve world domination in ten turns,
 * A turn is one day. Each turn is composed of actions, which can be militaristic, economic, diplomatic or constructive.
 * Turns begin at 00:00 UTC. Do not edit past turns.
 * Any conquered lands have their inhabitants, and they must be dealt with.
 * Keep in mind the linguistic effects of conquering and colonisation.
 * Every five years a map is to be made. A moderator marked as the Mapmaker will edit the map.
 * Every map must be saved as a .png on the current map template.
 * Each player will "call" a nation, this will be their main nation.
 * The moderators of this game have the power to grant and regulate all technology for each state as well as regulate plausibility. They also have the right to create random yet plausible and fair events in any and every nation throughout the course of the game.
 * Espionage is allowed and will be detailed later, there is a clear distinction between espionage and meta-gaming.
 * Alliances and unions are allowed as is bargaining to achieve these, although remember to be plausible.
 * If a nation is inactive then it is considered to have become isolationist and is fair game for conquering and attacking. However, there will be resistance.
 * There are super-national confederations (e.g. The Holy Roman Empire, The Kalmar Union, The European Union, The African Union, etc). They function like alliances and can be broken and formed.
 * You can commission privateers to raid a nation's shipping but they will reduce relations with the nation you hired them against.
 * The game ends in the present year.
 * Profile pages for your state are highly recommended. See here for an example.
 * If you are new, you may start the game in the turn that you joined.
 * No editing any past turns to contradict events which have already happened.
 * Not everyone can have an industrialized, liberal, stable, peaceful nation.
 * Unless your nation has been annexed in a war or vassalized as a result of war (see the mods for the last one), you may not switch nations.

Mod Events:

' February 13th 1948:' ''' Paris Peace accords alongside the USS Missouri peace treaty officially end the Second World War. Leading to nearly 100 million deaths worldwide. Two nuclear weapons have devastated Japan in the final moments of the war and Germany has been under occupation for nearly three years.'''

'''The Second Mexican Empire, and the Federation remain the two only remaining members of the Axis following the World War. relations between the Federation and the victorious allies remain in dire straits as their intervention prolonged the war three years.'''

The use of nuclear weapons leads to all remaining great powers with the ability (USSR, UK, France, México, Federation) to begin their own development of nuclear weaponry with the British being the closest in development

'''Most of the Allied nations demand the deportation of War criminals to Nuremburg for trials of War Crimes. The Federation outright refuses and demands to know which war crimes.'''

The Colonial empires defeated during the war begin to re-assert control over their colonies with some unexpected backlash particularly the French in Indochina.

Multiple operations by the US and USSR to claim German scientists left over from the previous Federation operation are launched bringing the remaining scientists to the US and USSR respectively.

Dominion of India: The war is finally over, and there is much celebration in the nation. However, India is rifled with the question of independence, and in this question, Mahatma Gandhi delivers his answer. "Brothers and sisters, today we celebrate our victory in the most devasating war in the history of Earth. While we are victorious, we are victorious at a great human cost, and may all those soldiers who have died in this conflict rest in peace. And both the living soldiers, and the dead, I want to thank you for your service and your bravery to this nation. The struggle of war is now over, and we should celebrate the end of the war. With the end of the war, however, it is the end of the Old World, and the beginning of a New World. In this New World, we have a new struggle, the struggle of rebuilding the damage of the war, and to prevent a war like this from ever happening again. This rebuilding, however, cannot be done from the very nation that got us into the War, this nation is the United Kingdom, our superiors from an island 10 thousand kilometers away. They cannot rebuild India for the war made them broke, and whatever money they have they are going to use it for themselves, and naturally so. This is why my dream is to have an independent India. Instead of India being the crown jewel of the British Empire, the crown jewel of India will be the Indian people. We have the population and the natural resources to sustain ourselves and be a great nation on our own. The international community even supports us, mainly the Federation, who has given us finicial aid that the United Kingdom has failed to provide, and I want to thank the Federation for their generous contribution. The international commmunity believes in us, and with their help we can have the boost required to rebuild our nation to greatness, and I urge the British government to enter into negoiations with us for our independence, and I shall use that money to start rebuilding India. Thank you." Funding is appropriated to rebuiild the infastructure of India and sets the course for industralization, we enter talks with the United Kingdom.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation following the end of the World War begins the consolidation of its gains over the Caribbean and posts a large fleet in Cuba consisting of a fleet carrier, three battleships, three cruisers, five destroyers, seven frigates, and two corvettes. Submarines continually patrol the perimeter of Federation occupied Caribbean. The Federation begins to instill some initiatives to work its steel, and other more sustainable domestic industries into a competitive sphere with other powers particularly the United States. With a population of 136 million the Federation is one of the worlds most populous but until recently untested nations. With the end of the War the Federation makes a concentrated initiative to draw back its military forces. It goes from a force of nearly three million active troops to about 800,000 with many of the now unemployed soldiers being put to work in industries that need them or are given a government voucher for education. The Federation continues however to remain one of the worlds dominant oil powers which continue to show most nations begrudgingly doing business with the country. Ironically following the conclusion of the end of the war the Federation undergoes an election which puts a more moderate Argentinian politician into power. Jesus Peron immediately recognizes the war crimes of many Nazis but extradites many Nazi officials for Nuremburg trials and says "the Federation would have never joined the war knowing about the horrors of the German holocaust in Europe". With this announcement the Federation immediately looks to begin repairing relations with many nations involved in the war and offers to enter into talks about the Caribbean with the United States. The Federation itself begins major pushes in technological fields specifically in transforming its armed forces into a more assault and mobile oriented force rather than the brute force and marine focus it had for most of the War. This begins the further development of the Federation arms industry which has taken over much production of German war equipment under a Federation moniker which allows the equipment of STG-44's and multiple other weaponry into the Federation armed forces. This particularly pertains to many German Tanks which are given a design overhaul and are expected to be out in force within the next year. The Federation begins to deal with some of the internal issues particularly attempts to promote the bi-culturalism of the Nation. The Federation also sends diplomats to Spain and Portugal in an attempt to establish a working relationship with the last two Fascist powers in Europe. The Federation begins putting the german scientists to work, who willingly put much of their expertise into developed technologies particularly Jet Aircraft and Rocket technology. The Federation also makes concerted effort to promote a cultural sharing and promotes bi-lingualism requiring Portuguese and Spanish to be taught to all school children. Research into nuclear technology begins as well seeing the destructive capabilities and wishing to add it to the Federation Arsenal. The Federation immediately begins to throw support behind Mahatma Gandhi in India and sends a large sum of funds to support the Indian independence movement.
 * A delegation of congressmen from the United States offers a deal to the Federation: Mutual withdrawal of military and political influence from the Caribbean, except that the US retains Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In exchange, the Federation may keep their influence on Cuba.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation agrees to this and will begin the process of withdrawing and making sure responsible government is left in all these nations. We also wish to establish some sort of working relationship on how to restore Haiti due to both nations occupations of that nation
 * British Diplomacy: We tell the Federation that if they continue to support a free Indian state then we will begin placing embargoes on them.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation declines and will continue to support the Free Indian State indefinitely. The Dominion that India is in should be going independent just like the rest of the Dominions are. The Federation also recognizes that the British cannot afford to fight a nearly undamaged Great Power in its heavily damaged state.
 * British Diplomacy: The British agree with the Federation's statements but still are not going to allow India to become free. They also decide against placing embargoes for the time being.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We support Indian independence on the grounds of our experiences from the occupation of our nation by the Japanese. We request that the British begin a constructive timeline to eventual independence for the nation.
 * British Diplomacy: Due to pressure from the international community we are going to peacefully work towards a free India but it will not be happening anytime soon.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation demands a timetable within the next two years
 * British Diplomacy: Our plan on Indian Independence will only be disclosed to members of the British government and our closest allies.
 * Federation Diplomacy: Then our support of separatists continues. If a timetable of two years is not met for a large territory like india who showed their mettle and shed their blood in War for your nations, then the Federation will put further pressure. We do not wish to dismantle the entire colonial empire but India at the least deserves this much.
 * British Diplomacy: We never stated the time table was over or under two years we simply said that the information about a free state of India is currently being discussed and will be announced within a few weeks or months.
 * Turkish Dip: PM Hassan Saka proposes for an alliance between the Federation and Turkey, as well as a trade alliance.
 * Federation Dip: Agreed as long as we are the only alliance system you are apart of
 * Romania: We begin rebuilding the nation, opening mines in Transylvania, factories in Moldova, farms in Wallachia, etc. We also rebuild our oil pumping and purifying facilities. We begin focusing on technology as mean of living, beginning a plan to give every household a radio, mainly for propaganda. We begin designing models for rifles, machine guns, pistols and tanks. We begin promoting the army and send anti-Yugoslav propaganda in Vojvodina. We propose a trade deal to the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland. We also ask our great ally, the Soviet Union, to give us back a part of the treasure stored in WW1, thanking them for them storing it for us. We renounce our claim on the part of the treasure which is needed for us to pay the war reparations.
 * Kurdistan finally gains its long-desired independence, with the formerly Turkish, Iranian and Arab-ruled parts of the Kurdish lands coming together in a unitary republic. A national unity government is formed with the capital in Mosul. After so long as repressed minorities, the Kurds are chary of majoritarian rule, and the new constitution forms a secular state which emphasizes religious and ethnic freedoms. Eager to liberate other oppressed groups (and, of course, to gain land), the government encourages ethnic minorities in Syria like the Alawites and Druze to advocate for their rights, arming them. Oil reserves are developed as foreign professionals flock to the fields, attracted by generous salaries, and train their Kurdish counterparts. Manufacturing is also developed, with subsidies offered to foreign manufacturers whoa re also attracted by low labour costs. The government institutes employment regulations ensuring that they employ large numbers of Kurds. The various militias are officially united into one national army, with training and equipment standardized. The Kurdish government looks to establish trade deals with foreign countries and is especially interested in purchasing arms.
 * The United Kingdom: We recognise Kurdistan's independence and offers a trade agreement to them.
 * Kurdistan agrees to a trade deal and offers Britain discounted oil from Kurdistan's large reserves in return for use of Britain's Gulf ports.
 * British Diplomacy: We accept Kurdistan's deal and open up our Gulf ports to them.
 * Republic of Turkey: The Turkish PM Hasan Saka would like to explore the possibilities of an alliance or trade agreement between Turkey and Kurdistan. The PM also notes that despite there being a great deal of anti-Kurdish sentiment in Turkey, he is willing to co-operate with the Kurds and protect their lands and interests.
 * Kurdistan accepts the alliance and trade pact and hopes for better relations between the two nations, but remains wary of sudden shifts in Turkish public opinion.
 * Japan: Following the defeat of Japan, major reforms take place. A new constitution begins to be written. Meanwhile, huge reconstruction and rebuilding takes place throughout the nation. Tetsu Katayama becomes the first Prime Minister of post-war Japan.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We demand reparation payments of 100 billion US dollars this year, and 10 billion US dollars a year for the next fifty years as well as another 250 million US dollars per year for the next seventy five years to give benefits to those enslaved and abused by your regime. We also demand control over the Liancourt Rocks and guarantees to our independence.
 * Barring any reparations for war crimes, the United States offers to give economic support to Japan to help recover their economy.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We demand all of the Japanese involved in the occupation of Korea and China be brought to trial for war crimes.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama agrees to all of the Korean demands, and also withdraws from Liancourt Rocks, and recognises Korean independence, sending all Japanese involved to trial for war crimes, paying reparations. Japan also accepts the US' economic support.
 * Republic of China: With the defeat of the Japanese forces and end of the recent World War, fighting with the Communist Party resumes. In the North East, the New 1st and 5th armies under General Cheng to secure Dandong, while the 3rd army stays in Shenyang. Meanwhile, one division under the control of Yan Xishan, numbering almost 10,000 strong lead an assault on Yan'an. In Guangxi, local police forces and army divisions battle insurgents. All across the country, suspected Communist sympathizers are tried for treason and executed. The Republic of China pleads with the United States and the British Empire for more aid and, potentially, military intervention. Chiang Kai-Shek continues his centralization of the government. The military, realizing its shortcomings and the new mobile type conflict they are embroiled in, begin to upgrade their tactics. The lighting war of the Nazi Third Reich is looked upon with much interest. Factories spring up, mass producing weapons needed for the war effort.
 * The United States pledges support to China to stop the spread of Communism, and sends whatever economic and military assisstence needed to put down the PRC.
 * The United Kingdom: We support the Republic of China by sending supplies to the Chinese and requests an alliance with them.
 * Korea: We support a diplomatic solution to the Chinese problem, including the partition of China. We offer to host negotiations in Kaesong.
 * British Diplomacy We will meet in Kaesong with Korean leaders only if both Chinese parties are willing to come and negotiate.
 * Federation Dip: We mention the fact the Communist spent 3 years taking advantage of the situation and that reconciliation or partition is probably impossible.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: Not necessarily. In fact, we are able to negotiate with you. Just let Korea handle the talking to get the RoC and the PRC to at least a ceasefire.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We begin sending aid to the Republic of China.
 * Canada Diplomacy: Prime Minister Mackenzie King say he is in favor of a diplomatic solution, but until then will send humanitarian aids to the Republic of China.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: The People's Republic of China is also in favour of a peaceful solution.....unlike a certain Australia, whom are starting to sound like their British forefathers.
 * British Diplomacy: The UK assures the PRC that we and Australia want nothing more than for there to be peace in China.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: Very well.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Even though the Turkish government takes a general stance against Communism, we are totally willing to act as a mediator between the RoC and PRC. Even though things such as partitions and reconciliations are highly improbable, Turkish PM Hasan Saka is confident that the Communists and anti-Communists in China will be able to end the war and perhaps create a compromise government which pleases both factions. Saka highly suggests that a ceasefire be reached anywhere from 1949 to 1952.
 * Chinese (ROC) Diplomacy: We would be willing to join in peace talks in Kaesong.
 * Canada: In 1948, Mackenzie King is at the top of his popularity. Canada came out of the war among the victors, and the Prime Minister was able to make Newfoundland join the Confederation, a long-time dream that turned into an electoral goal during the 1945 election.  He begins to develop new jobs in the public domain and government. The Liberal Government also invests in the naval sector, saying they will make every effort to returns their troops that where on the front line (even if the real reason is to affirm military presence in Arctic Territories). Even if he still has two more years in office, the king takes advantage of the high polls and calls a General Election, knowing he will easily win it. One of King's electoral promises is to play an active role in America, hoping to improve difficult relations between the USA, the Mexican Empire and the Federation.
 * The United Kingdom: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland begins rebuilding itself after WWII. We also begin developing new war equipment.
 * British West Africa: We begin mining and collecting natural resources in order to support the post-war British economy.
 * British East Africa: A large vein of gold is discovered in Uganda and we immediately begin retrieving it.
 * Korea: The newly reformed Republic of Korea begins to rebuild cities and the economy from the war and Japanese occupation. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Chongqing is brought back into the nation to begin aiding in the transition. Even though there is opposition in the United States occupational military government, the Republic of Korea allows the Workers' Party of Korea to enter into talks over a unified government to prevent a war like China is currently experiencing. It is agreed that they will split the National Assembly between the liberal Democratic National Party, the conservative Korea National Party, and the Communist Worker's Party of Korea. All the various forces of the Korean Liberation Army are unified under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, Lee Beom-seok, and Ji Cheong-cheon. After much debate, the first President of the Republic of Korea is chosen to be Kim Koo, and the Prime Minister is Kim Won-bong. This agreement was facilitated by the belief that Korea can become powerful again, wanting a unified front against Japan, and the fear of foreign intervention in the nation like it has been for the past several hundred years. The government begins to build industry in the south and fortify the border with China to prevent an overspill of the Chinese Civil War. There is some protest by the Workers' Party of Korea over United States involvement, but the democratic parties assure Kim Il-Sung that they will work to wind down American occupation as soon as possible. Busan begins to be developed as a major port to facilitate trade. The remaining Japanese civilians in the nation are rounded up and put into internment camps near Pyongyang. Civilian and military leaders have advocated their use for hard labor or execution. There are 10,000 Japanese civilians in these camps, and there are serious talks about what to do with them. Agriculture begins to be improved with oversight from Kim Il-sung who has proposed government oversight of all areas of the economy until it is stabilized. After which, the economy will become more socialist as an appeasement to the capitalists.
 * The United States continues to support the Korean Government, and promises to withdraw occupation when the threat of Communism is dealt with.
 * Turkish Dip: Turkey proposes an alliance and trade deal with Korea, and fully supports the democratization of the Republic, and congratulates the Koreans for creating an inclusive government which appeases the liberals, conservatives and Communists.
 * United States: American industry and economy continues to grow exponentially after the end of the War. The industrial sector redirects their efforts from the previous war effort to domestic products. As a result, technologies such as automobiles and television become more prevalent in the nation. Other electronic media also starts going to production as well, based on the miraculous devices that cracked the enigma code years earlier. The technology captured in Operation Paperclip are secretly experimented with in an attempt to outpace Soviet and Axis development. Soldiers drafted in the war return to their homes welcomed by enormous celebrations, and quite a number of former fiance's are finally wed. Swing music becomes most popular among tean-age jazz fans. After completely withdrawing from Europe, the only American military outposts remain in the Pacific island territories and the Caribbean. Surplus of soldiers enlisted in the war are mostly retained. The Mexican border remains fortified on the alert for illegal immigration and any other possible incursion. Segregation continues in most states, and the predominant Anglo-Saxon population of America sees discrimination against Africans and Japanese. President Harry S. Truman calls for an end to Mandatory Palestine, in accordance with the Peel Commission of 1938, and supports the creation of Israel. This decision struck an accord among the Jewish American population, ensuring Truman's victory at re-election in November this year in defiance of the Republican candidate Harold Stassen. The territories of Alaska and Hawaii begin pushing for statehood. The President also proposes the Truman Doctrine before congress, pledging to stop the spread of totalitarian Communism wherever it may appear. Immediately after the Paris Accords, Truman offers to establish an organized alliance with some of the Allied powers, particularly those in the north Atlantic (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands). This will be known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Relations are strengthened with Canada as well, who are also invited to join NATO.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We request to be given six destroyers, four corvettes, 300 M4 Sherman tanks, 50 M3 Stuart tanks, 500 M101 howitzers, 25,000 M1 Garands, 2,000 M1 Carbines, 10,000 M1911's, 20,000 M1909 revolvers, 200 M2 Brownings, 500 M1919 machine guns, 10,000 Mk 2 grenades, 48 P-51 Mustangs, 60 T-6 Texans, 18 C-47 Skytrains, and 24 P-47 Thunderbolts.
 * Request approved.
 * Portugal Dip: We agree to NATO membership.
 * Spain Dip: We refuse - citing years of neutrality.
 * Dutch Dip: We refuse to join NATO.
 * British Diplomacy: We join NATO.
 * Canada Diplomacy: Mackenzie King explain to Truman that since he is in election right now, instead of answering right now he will put it in his political program and let the Canadians chose. Should he be elected once again, Canada will join NATO.
 * Turkey: PM Hassan Saka proposes an alliance and trade agreement with the US, as well as a request of NATO membership.
 * Netherlands: Willem Drees is elected PM of the nation. We build up our military by building military bases. Major cities start to rebuild themselves back to normal to like they were before the war. Farm lands are guarded closely by military troops. Factories now higher people because cities need steel to rebuild itself. We open our borders to Jewish people that need a country to live in. Unemployment goes up since people are getting jobs in factories. A welfare system is made. Soup kitchens are common in each city and are filled with many people. Food stamps are given out to people that are poor. Used clothing are given out to people that need them. Apartments are made cheap so less fortunate people can live in them.
 * Dutch Indonesia: We farm the land and bring back crops to the motherland.
 * Dutch Congo: We mine out the coal and diamonds in the caves.
 * Saudi Arabia: We seek to enter an alliance with a major nation. We consider the United States, the USSR, the Federation, France, the UK, and China as possible allies. We offer to sell oil exclusively to that country, considering increasing it to two countries already allied (like UK and US). In return for the alliance and oil sales, we would like to give input in the sphere of influence, protection, economic aid, and most importantly, weaponry, including tanks, machine guns, submarines, and bombers. Whichever country's offer is our favorite will gain a massive oil deal which can increase their military power and sphere of influence.
 * Federation Dip: As one of the largest oil producing nations on the planet the Federation offers to bring Saudi Arabia in to Corner the Market. With a lot of German tech - among other things - in our hands we can establish a powerful and valuable partnership
 * British Diplomacy: We offer to protect Saudi Arabia in war times and are willing to trade gold, silver and other valuable resources that come from our African colonies. Along with that we will give British technology, war equipment, and help to spread the English language and literature in the Arabian Peninsula.
 * México offers military protection for oil and help with nuclear research, and would also help with military modernization.
 * United States will improve the economy of Saudi Arabia if they help to prevent any incursion of Communism in the area.
 * Saudi Arabia: Seeing that we are not interested in a Communist revolution, but also not interested in being captive to the American sphere, we seek a third option. Because Mexico and the Federation are allied, we propose an alliance, a third sphere, to counter Communism and NATO. We propose that this alliance be called the Southern Defense Pact. We also support anti-imperialist movements, such as those occuring in India and Malaya, though we do not take any economic or military action (yet).
 * Federation Dip: The Federation will accept this offer and looks to Mexico for its approval.
 * Second Méxican Empire: Maximilian III along with the rest of the nation starts to recover from the Second World War. The Nuremberg trials shock the nation, learning of the atrocities of Nazi leaders and of such. Maximilian III says in a speech short afterword "What the Nazi high command has done to the Jewish population is ... Unspeakable." After these trials, México, still uneasy with the United States, looks to repair its relations with the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. A diplomat is sent to the United States to improve the current diplomatic situation with them. About Nuclear technology is worked on non-stopped to create a weapon to protect the nation from foreign powers Meanwhile, relations with the Federation are improved upon, with a personal thanks given from Maximilian III himself to Jesus Person. The autonomous territories planned to be finished being annexed by mid 1950. México proposes an organisation called the "United Nations" to establish order and prevent another world conflict from arising again.  [Mil/Eco]
 * British Diplomacy: We support México's proposal of a United Nations and are willing to host a headquarters in London.
 * Canada Diplomacy: Canada Prime Minister Mackenzie King support the creation of the United Nations, but opposed the idea of hosting the headquarters in Europe, as the continent was ravaged during WW2. Instead, he proposed to host the headquarters in Montreal or New York.
 * British Diplomacy: We agree with Canada's statements and also think that New York would be a prime location for the UN HQ.
 * Switzerland: We celebrate the end of the destructive WW2, even though we were neutral in it. We protest the development of nuclear weapons, citing the destruction in Japan. We support México's idea of a United Nations and offer to host the HQ. We offer loans to the European nations following WW2, to help rebuild. We propose a European Union (not like OTL) that will debate issues important to European nations and to prevent the outbreak of another war in Europe.
 * British Diplomacy: We support the idea of a European Union and ask to join.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We, too, support a European Union.
 * Norwegian Diplomacy: We support the idea of a European Union and ask to join.
 * Italy: We begin reconstruction to mitigate the damage done by World War 2. Seeing the massive militarization of many nations of the world, we begin producing the German weapons and vehicles that had been provided to and/or abandoned in Italy, including the V-2 rocket. We propose a trade agreement with Britain, believing that fellow constitutional monarchies should stick together.
 * British Diplomacy: We accept Italy's offer and create a trade agreement.
 * Australian Commonwealth: With the end of the Second World War, Australia begins to turn around help rebuild its country. Though they were able to avoid any direct conflict on the main land, it came close many times. They work on reconstructing the navy which has taken damage during the war. They also work on building on their infrastructure as it is hard to transport across the Australian continent. The Liberal Party is firmly in power of the Senate and the House (They're conservatives, but have the name of the Liberal Party). Australia continues to put out feelers to various nations for possible trade and economic opportunities with other various nations.
 * British Diplomacy: We are willing to open up trade with our former territory.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We are glad to hear our British friends are willing to open up trade and have a mutual agreement.
 * Spain: After the devastation caused in World War Two and the fall of Fascism we feel that our only natural ally and trading partner can be Portugal. We also do accept opening relations with the Federation of the Americas. We begin to influence our neighbours in Andorra and Portugal to be more closely aligned with Spain through trade agreements and alliances. We request that they should join in the Iberian Union which would discuss issues between our nations and across the world. We begin mass propaganda campaigns to quell and control the populace of Spain to more closely align to Fascism. We begin establishing colonies in Spanish Africa to allow our population to expand. We begin to star research in civilian and mostly the military sector. We begin in secret, ways to enrich uranium. We will begin to build weaponry at a slow pace since we are at peace. We will begin industrialization and we begin to initiate tensions between the Berbers and the Arabic people so that they would not be independent.
 * ​Saudi Arabia asks Spain to join the southern defense pact, making them specifically allied with the Federation (and Mexico and Saudi Arabia), have an equal say within the alliance, and gain access to oil from Saudi Arabia and research from the Federation.
 * Spain: We agree to the southern defensive pact.
 * People's Republic of China: The People's Republic of China, after spending WWII entirely at peace with the RoC, decides to go on the offensive, although this is interrupted with the RoC assault on Yan'an and Dandong. With these being problems, we decide to hold on to Yan'an, but orders to fall back and regroup on the outskirts of Dandong are done, with the local forces being used as a way to delay the RoC forces and for the rest to retreat in an organised fashion. This is done as part of a plan we use to gather some forces outside of Dandong and then retake the city. However, we observations also note that Shenyang has been left with the 3rd Army to defend the area, and Mao as a result organises with his generals in secret and decides to order a military operation called Operation: Sharp Edge to take Shenyiang and provide a distraction for our forces in Yan'an and Dandong and then provide part of the bigger operation to liberate the people of China from the capitalist pigs. Meanwhile, in economics, we begin to increase production in military and industrial goods, as well as extending supply lines specifically for food to areas of heavy fighting and other areas in desperate need of food. Our economic objective becomes clear: to bring China to every possible path on its way to success and ensure prosperity to the country both during and after the war, should we be victorious (or if the peace talks work accordingly).
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We decide to attend the Kaesong Accords. In the scenario that they fail, we ask for the USSR to pledge military aid and economic aid to the PRC.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We heavily warn the "People's Republic of China" that killing their own people for the sake of "progress" horrendous. We cut off all trade to the PRC, food and other goods, and divert them to the Republic of China.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: The PRC is merely offering food supplies to the affected areas, not trying to get them killed. The intent is to keep Chinese citizens fed, not murder them.
 * British Malaya: We send alliance requests to anyone who is willing to ally with us and support our eventual independence from the United Kingdom. We begin our road to a Free Malaya.
 * British Diplomacy: Malaya's requests for allies is null due to Malaya still being a colony under the government of the United Kingdom.
 * Bulgaria: Builds up the military. Not much else, but pledges mutual assistance to the USSR, as a satellite state of it
 * Romanian Dip: We propose a trade deal to our southern neighbor.
 * Greece: The Greek Civil War between the democratic Kingdom of Greece and the Communist Provisional Democratic Government rages on, with no clear winner of the war at this moment. The national military is improved, with more and more young men being conscripted into the army in order to fully crush the Communist rebels. We request military support from nearby democratic allies, and in return we offer trade agreements after the war ends.
 * British Diplomacy: We give the Democratic Kingdom of Greece military supplies but are unable to send any soldiers at the moment. We implore our allies to aid the Greeks so that Greece will not become a Communist state.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We decide to offer the Greek Communist Provisional Democratic Government the necessary political support to deal with their problem.
 * Please label whether you are the RoC or PRC, thanks.
 * Turkish Dip: We would like to begin an alliance and trade agreement with the DKG, as well as send a total of 2250 troops to fight against the Greek Communists.
 * Kurdistan offers Greece a brigade of Kurdish troops to fight the Communists.
 * Siam: Following the end of World War there are talks within the Siamese Monarchy to break the its era of isolation. but many reject the idea of Siam becoming active in the world some officers in the military reach to the Federation of The Americas if it will back a newly formed government in Siam if it will take place.
 * Federation Secret Dip: We may look to support such a movement.
 * Republic of Turkey: After remaining mostly neutral in the war, Turkey is a mostly stable nation. Ismet Inonu serves as President, since 1938, and Hasan Saka serves as Prime Minister, since 1947. The Republican People's Party holds a large majority in the Grand National Assembly, however that is quickly due to change. Many politicians and citizens alike are discontent with the existence of Kurdistan, and a media campaign is launched this year advocating for the full recovery of Turkish Kurdish land. The RPP rejects the campaign, and states that the existence of Kurdistan is historically long overdue, and that efforts to curtail the development of a Kurdish state will be seen as treason. Despite being banned as a political party, Turkish Communists agree with the RPP. Nationalists find room to disagree, claiming that the land is core Turkish territory, and vestiges of Ottoman expansion. Fascists come into play as well, with many Fascist scholars deriding the Kurds. In other news, fears of the Soviet Union continue to rise, with many officeholders fearing that the USSR will instigate instability in Turkey in order to gain a foothold in the region. However, no troubling signs arise as of yet. We offer to the nations of Greece and Kurdistan an alliance and trade pact.
 * Norway: We celebrate and start recovery from World War 2 and start building new recovery programs for the homeless. We offer Britain and the USA a trade agreement for oil and we build up our military and our weapon stockpile especially weapons like the V2 rocket. We also start research on jets and we support the idea of a European Union and ask to join. Shocked from the Nuremberg Trials we let unemployed and homeless Jews into Norway for free.
 * Philippines: We establish a planned, export-oriented economy. We launch the First Economic Plan. We build hundreds of factories (focusing mainly on light industry) on its main urban centres. Agricultural output per capita is improved dramatically. We encourage migration to its major urban centres like Manila, Cebu, and Zamboanga. Meanwhile, the city of Manila annexes all of the surrounding cities/municipalities. The government begins the massive purge of corrupt politicians. More money is invested in healthcare, and medical technology, and the life expectancy grows rapidly. We ban Communist Parties.
 * Calm down. This is a six-month turn. it would take a few years to begin this kind of rapid industrialization - that and life expectancy takes a few years to gauge as well. Please slow down -Feud
 * Yugoslavia: We decide to ally with Russia. We officially become a Communist country. We aid the Communists in the Greek Civil War. We put anti-Greek democratic propaganda in democratic Greece so democracy could become less popular. We ask to have trade agreements with Saudi Arabia so we could buy oil from them. We would also like to have a trade agreement with Turkey but would not have an alliance with them. We aid Communist revolutions worldwide. We plan to invade Albania, Italy and Democratic Greece. We build our military. We would like to help Russia with their nuclear program and in return when they've completed it Yugoslavia will get four nuclear weapons so they can develop the nuclear bomb. We build our navy and army.
 * British West Africa: While WW2 ended with a big victory of allies, we build the military, improving economy as well. The troops recruit in the military, some developments have been made for the armies. We also build some cities and some airbases, to develop some jets. However, the construction of airbases could likely be done in Africa.

The French re-assert total control over their colonies and begin looking at ways to pacify them and prevent their separation from the Metropole.

While Most British colonies in Africa remain stable, the Arabian peninsula sees some upheaval as Saudi Arabia seperates from the British isolating multiple Colonies in the area.


 * Romania: We continue the investures started earlier, and divide the nation into nine provinces. We propose trade agreements to the Soviet Union, Poland, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, We request a part of the treasure stored by the Romanian government during WW1 back, for our investion in rebuilding. We also build an aircraft building facility for the Soviet Union.
 * The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics agrees to give back most of the Romanian treasury, though keeps a small portion as a fee for keeping it safe. We also thank the Romanian government for making the aircraft factory, and begin sending money and blueprints for production.
 * Romanian Dip: We are grateful and give in return uranium to the USSR for their nuclear endeavors.
 * Bulgaria accepts
 * British Malaya: We begin a series of anti-british restrictions throughout very important cities throughout our territories. We fund insurgencies that we know will lead to martial law being declared, as that is our point.
 * Netherlands: We continue to build up our military by building military bases. Major cities continue to rebuild themselves back to normal to like they were before the war. Farm lands are guarded closely by military troops. Factories continuing to higher people because cities need steel to rebuild itself. We continue to leave open our borders to Jewish people that need a country to live in. Unemployment continues to go up since people are getting jobs in factories. Soup kitchens are common in each city and are filled with many people. Food stamps are given out to people that are poor. Used clothing are given out to people that need them. Apartments are made cheap so less fortunate people can live in them. The PM thinks about changing his political party from Nationalist to Communist. We ask the British if we can Trade the land in this map we made.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/67210782@N03/21888944236/in/dateposted-public/


 * Dutch Indonesia: We farm the land and bring back crops to the motherland.
 * Dutch Congo: We mine out the coal and diamonds in the caves.
 * The United States offers to help improve the industry of the Netherlands under the Marshall plan, and ask that they join NATO
 * British Diplomacy: We do not wish to trade any land but we do ask the Netherlands to protect our existing colonies and we will do the same and we would like to enter in a trade agreement. We also ask them to join the EU and the USA's new organisation and we ask the Dutch Diplomats to participate in the partition of India meeting.
 * Turkey: The country remains stable, but certain factions begin protesting government relations with Kurdistan, as well as the entry into the Southern Defense Pact. The RPP, headed by Prime Minister Hasan Saka, continues to stand by the Kurds, and claims that the Southern Defense Pact is a legitimate force in world affairs. His opposition, the Democrat Party, criticize Saka and call for the annexation of all Kurdish Turkish land, as well as the withdrawal from the Southern Defense Pact. In response to those criticisms, Saka instead withdraws his request of membership from NATO and firmly stands by the Southern Defense Pact. This angers the opposition, who launch another media campaign against him. In others new, the banned Communist Party continues alligning itself with Saka, and in September, petitions the government to unban the party. Saka considers this and proclaims that a decision will be made next year. In military news, the armed forces is expanded and 2,250 troops are sent to Greece to fight for the Democratic Kingdom. Fears continue to persist of Soviet domineering in Turkey, but no actions on the part of the Soviets suggest any sort of action. The economy expands this year as several industrial businesses establish themselves in Ankara and Istanbul.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation seeks to establish some sort of military presence in Turkey particularly a military base in Istanbul or another city in that area
 * Canada: Mackenzie King come out of the election with a majority once again, stronger than ever. The idea of joining NATO really won the voters, even if the Progressist Conservatives also proposed it. The Conservative Party remain the official opposition. Among them is now a famous idividual: H.D.G. Crerar, the supreme commander of the Canadian Forces during WW2. The Social Credit is third and CCF fourth. Mackenzie King continue to built a new navy for Canada, but only to protect their lands. Few Canadians see that Mackenzie didn't stop media censorship after WW2, and few care. Industries are built and wrokers find jobs all around the country. Canada continue to send humanitarian supplies to the Republic of China. PM Mackenzie King ask President Truman to allow Canada into NATO, as Canadians are in favor of it. Canada would also on the same occasion invite NATO members to Ottawa in order to talk about the Greece situation. 
 * ​The United States acknowledges Canada as part of NATO, and pushes for NATO to intervene in the Greek Civil War in favor of the DKG.
 * Canada Diplomacy: PM Mackenzie King agree for an intervention, but refuse to send his troops there. He instead propose to sell military equipment cheap to the DKG and to force economic sanctions on countries supporting the Greek Communists.
 * British West Africa: We improve the military and economy. The airbase meanwhile has been finished and hopefully some of the British Aircraft might come to the airbase. Also some development of weapons began to build, while troops gain recruitment. The buildings and cities are building into the one of our lands.
 * Nigeria: Mil and eco.
 * British Senegal: Mil and eco.
 * British Togo: Mil and eco.
 * British Liberia: Mil and Infra.
 * Kurdistan's employment continues to rise as petroleum reserves are exploited. An oil and natural gas refinery is opened this year near Mosul and another rid under construction near Erbil. Exports of petroleum products begin to rise as access to British ports has been negotiated. The centrist National Party under Mahmud Barzanji wins the first national elections, and begins a policy of backing independence movements in French Syria, providing arms and training to Druze and Alawite militias and encouraging pro-Kurdish sentiment among them. The government begins subsidizing manufacturing and institutes assisted immigration plans for European (particularly German) manufacturers wishing to escape Allied restrictions on arms manufacturing. A former Volkswagen plant manager (and former Nazi) combines with a Kurdish sheikh to open a car manufacturing plant to produce cheap but versatile trucks (under the name Saladin Automotive), which are widely purchased by the government for military use. Seeing his success, another former Nazi industrialist partners with the government to begin producing machine guns, mortars and carbine rifles. The government asks to purchase military aircraft from anyone willing to sell, looking to buy around 50 fighters and 20 ground-strafing aircraft.
 * The United States offer to give economic aid to the Kurds to help them in any of their endeavors, the hope that they will help to prevent any threat of Communism in the Middle East.
 * Kurdistan would be happy to continue opposing the repressive influence of Communism and asks to purchase 100 Sherman tanks and 50 P-51 Mustang aircraft.
 * Kurdish Dip: The Kurdish government officially extends an offer of official recognition and protection to the three Churches of the East, offering their leaders the opportunity to relocate to Kurdistan from more repressive foreign countries. Privately, the government suggests to them that if they will promote pro-Kurdish sentiment among their followers, the Kurds will help them promote their interests in post-colonial Syria. Mod Response
 * Canada Diplomacy: We would like to ffer Kurdistan an enconomic partnership to the Kurdistan, and officially support Kurdistan autonomy and independence.
 * Italy: We offer our support to the democratic Greek government and begin V-2 strikes on Communist outposts. We continue our production of German weapons, and secretly request British aid in development of a nuclear arsenal. We propose a trade agreement with France and the US, and apply for membership of Nato and the European Union.
 * The United States Accepts Italy as part of NATO
 * British Diplomacy: We recognise Italy as a member of NATO and form the British-Italian Nuclear Association or BINA.


 * Saudi Arabia: King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud is loved as a great leader for the successful new oil deal and alliance. The citizens love the SDP, especially as they hate Communism but also America and Liberal Europe. Saudi Arabia asks Spain, South Africa, and Siam to join the SDP. We boost our military using what is given to us by the Federation and the money from the oil. We also spread propaganda, especially in the British colonies of Bahrain and Qatar, which considers the British to be oppressors. On this path, we fund militant pro-independence groups in India and Malaya, though we send more money to India. We pass a law excluding exportation of oil to any non-SDP member. We seek a global autarky that is economically self-sufficient, and we try to increase the number of member nations in the SDP in order to make this possible. However, until then, we continue to trade with foreign nations, except not oil. We continue to expand our oil production, and also try to industrialize our cities, especially our capital at Riyadh and our other cities of Jeddah and Dammam. We ban Communist groups, and arrest any suspected Communists.
 * Saudi Arabia proposes Bidding to occur for the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
 * Union of Soviet Socialist Republics: sadly, our beloved leader, Josef Stalin dies this year, due to completions from a bad case of flu. He is immediately replaced by the much more light ruling leader, Vladimer Andronikov. While our new leader still believes Communism can work, he begins to switch to a more Socialist government, were some personal property or businesses can exist. Many small businesses are aloud to exist out side of the hands of the state, but larger businesses are still completly controlled by the state. Standard of living begins to increase, slowly but surly, with the economy opening up to people who wish to buy some personal property. In addition, he takes much of the power away from police to arrest and punish arbitrarily, and begins to introduce a trial system, though police are still considers far more oppressive than in the west. The military is partially demobilized, but investment in military tech does not. We work hard on creating a nuclear weapon, in order to deter any capitalist attack on our nation. In addition, we begin building up our Air force and Navy, recognizing that these two area are probably in bitter need of improvement. We accept China's offer from last year, and send them huge amounts of military equipment, food, and supplies, mostly over our land border. We begin funding various Communist movements throughout nations oppressed by imperialists, including, but not limited too, India, Indochina, and a majority of British Africa. We begin to pressure decolonization, and try to make it as hard as possible for the western powers to keep colonies.
 * Korea: The Korean government requests recognition from the USSR. We also request to exchange embassies.
 * the USSR agrees to recognize Korea, and and embassy exchange
 * The United Kingdom: We place martial law over the few areas of India that we still have some power in and ask the Indian de facto government if they would allow us to help them to stabilize the country after Gandhi's assassination. The British government has decided that they should partition the state of India at once but we would still would like to keep land in Asia in order to help the Republic of China during its military conflict. We hold a meeting with member states of NATO asking what would be the best solution to this problem. We do not wish to give away our colonies to the Dutch but do ask for their protection over them. The UK also is able to use resources collected from African colonies to boost our economy and we continue research into nuclear weaponry and war machines.
 * Indian National Congress: We thank the United Kingdom for its offer of stabilization and its offer of Partition and we accept both. We also offer to hold the Partition of India in New Delhi, India. 
 * British Diplomacy: We accept India's offer and hold a meeting in New Delhi. We invite members of the EU and NATO to help decide on the borders of India, Pakistan, and British Asian colonies. We also will discuss how India will split from the UK and its new government.
 * Indian National Congress: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Partition_of_India_(Dawn_of_War_Map_Game)
 * Dutch Dip: We propose a trade in land. (Just click the link on my turn I posted).
 * Dutch Dip: It is really not our concern how India is dealt with, that is up to you. We will only join the EU if every nation on the continent of Europe does so, to make a unified continent.


 * Korea: The government looks to possibly relocate the capital to Kaesong because it is more center. The nation is split into thirteen provinces, a national capital, and five military districts. The military districts are near China and Japan. A fence is planned for the border with the PRC all the way up to the border with the USSR. The military begins maneuvers in the central part of the nation. Three naval bases are planned, on in Busan, one in Incheon, and in Donghae City. Agriculture is expanded especially in the north and industrialization continues in the south. Transportation begins to be focused on with rail lines planned to run through Busan, Ulsan, Kaesong, Pyongyang, Incheon, and Seoul. The government uses the money from the first payments from Japan on these upgrades. A lighthouse is planned for the Dokdo islands. Shipyards are planned by Samsung, and Hyundai for Incheon and Busan to build a navy and cargo ships.
 * Australian Commonwealth: Six months after the end of World War 2, the Australians continue to build their nation back up. With the threat of Communism rising in Asia, the Chifley plan. The plan is to assert Australian military dominance in the South Pacific and potential in Southeast Asia. It will take a while to begin to build up the Australian Navy to the size it needs to be to assert its dominance, but it will get there. We check and find the Australian Military is currently resting a strong 230,000 active personnel. The Australian Navy though currently consists of 430 active naval vessels ready for combat. Australia's Chif plan consists of building up the Cruisers and even building Aircraft Carriers. With two Aircraft carriers in active duty, the renamed ANS Melbourne and Sydney, we begin to construct two more. Completion of the aircraft carriers are planned to be complete by 1950. With two more to be laid down after that. Australia continues to ride the highs of post war economic highs, as well as an influx of immigrants from war torn countries in Europe and Asia. Australia is made to improve upon its infrastructure further to work on this. The islands of Guinea and New Zealand also see improvement seen upon them. Australia continues to put out feelers to various nations for possible trade and economic opportunities with other various nations. We begin aiding the British Empire in any means possible in Asia. We wish to open up trade with Saudi Arabia, to keep our trade of oil coming into out nation.
 * New Zealand: Military size of 55,000 active military personnel, currently standing at a navy size of 95 active naval vessels. Mainly consisting of frigates and smaller vessels.
 * Papua New Guinea: Military size of 45,000 active military personnel. We are doing fine, currently rebuilding after the effects of the war.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask for Australia to help by sending some soldiers to India in order to help stabilise it since we are only able to aid primarily coastal cities.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We will assist the British by sending some soldiers.
 * British Diplomacy: We thank our ally for their assistance.
 * Kurdistan will sell oil and petroleum products to Australia, since Saudi Arabia only sells to members of the SDF.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We thank Kurdistan for willing to begin trade with us.
 * Canada Diplomacy: We would like to offer economic and trade partnership to Australia, as members of the English Commonwealth must stick together in hard times.
 * Australian Diplomacy: The Australians are glad the Canadians are willing to form a partnership with us. We gladly accept.
 * Saudi Arabia: We will definitely not trade oil with any non-SDP member. We also will not trade with Australia unless they withdraw from India.
 * United States: American industry and economy continues to grow exponentially after the end of the War. The industrial sector redirects their efforts from the previous war effort to domestic products. As a result, technologies such as automobiles and television become more prevalent in the nation. Other electronic media also starts going to production as well, based on the miraculous devices that cracked the enigma code years earlier. The technology captured in Operation Paperclip are secretly experimented with in an attempt to outpace Soviet and Axis development. The population of the US grows rapidly after the end of the war, leading to this next generation being referred to as "Baby Boomers". Swing music becomes most popular among teenage jazz fans. After completely withdrawing from Europe, the only American military outposts remain in the Pacific island territories and the Caribbean. Surplus of soldiers enlisted in the war are mostly retained. The Mexican border remains fortified on the alert for illegal immigration and any other possible incursion. Segregation continues in most states, and the predominant Anglo-Saxon population of America sees discrimination against Africans and Japanese. President Harry S. Truman calls for an end to Mandatory Palestine, in accordance with the Peel Commission of 1938, and supports the creation of Israel. This decision struck an accord among the Jewish American population, ensuring Truman's victory at re-election in November this year in defiance of the Republican candidate Harold Stassen. The territories of Alaska and Hawaii are accepted as the 49th and 50th states. Responding to the situation in Greece, Congress approves the use of military force in the region, and dispatches a several hundred troops to fight against the Communists there.  Leaning on support for the independence of Malaysia, the US sets up the East Asian Treaty Organization (EATO) to pevent the spread of Communism in the region. The nations of Korea, China (ROC), Australia, Japan and Indochina are specifically invited. 
 * US Dip to Europe: The Scandinavian nations of Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are asked to join NATO.
 * US Dip to Iran: The Shahdom of Iran is offered economic and military support to prevent any possible spread of Communism in the Middle East.
 * Korean Dip: We agree to the EATO.
 * Chinese (ROC) Diplomacy: We agree to EATO.
 * Australian Diplomacy: We agree to the EATO.
 * Dutch Dip: We except the Marshal Plan from USA, but are not sure in joining NATO, because we might be going Communist.
 * People's Republic of China: With the negotiations commencing, Mao Zhendong puts Operation: Sharp Edge on hold, but they are ordered to remain on standby, while our forces continue to hold Yan'an. In other economic news, we decide focus on building our economy to a point in which China can compete with other nations around the globe, and with the new streak of Russian supplies, we decide to distribute these to our more under equipped forces. However, another plan is sent into the planning stage to distract the enemy at Nanjing in order to help with Operation: Sharp Edge. The situation is taken into consideration, but Mao rejects the plan, fearing it would end in disaster and not have a big impact, instead awaiting for the final moments of the RoC to take Nanjing. However, he is unwilling to enact anything until negotiations succeed. In the meantime, though. He seeks aid from other Communist nations worldwide, and also pledges support for Malaysian and Indian independence.
 * Bulgaria asks for an alliance
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues its development particularly of nuclear weapons with the first expected test to be done in 1951 around halfway through the year. The Federation in particularly begins restructuring its armed forced for the smaller numbers. The Federation continues it heavy investment into its jet developments as well as advancing many of its ground technologies. Research into nuclear power is also considered but remains theoretical. With the explosion of post war crisis the Federation continues putting money towards independence movements particularly in India and now into Malaya as well. Federation citizens begins to show some unrest at the nations new position citing some un-wanted involvement into global politics. The nation itself shows some moderate industrial growth as the majority of development is put mostly into stable industries such as automotive, steel, aeronautics, and ship building. The Federation begins scheduling atlantic and pacific patrols for its carrier fleet but also makes the conscious decision on bringing battleships into the modern age if possible. The nations economy begins a major surge as products to various nations become dominant particularly in Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Cuba. this also comes along with the Federation maintaining now a major oil monopoly with Saudi Arabia. The research into rocketry and more advanced aeronautics continues as well. The Federation begins new research into small arms of all sorts looking to find its next generation rifle among other things. Battle group Lusitania begins to be outfitted for a potential hot spot in India (more to come later)
 * Korea: We request a trade agreement where non military ships from both of our nations may enter the others ports and sell certain goods without tariffs. We also request aid in developing our shipbuilding industries.


 * Japan: Major reforms continue to take place. A new constitution continues to be written and is finalised by the eleventh month. Meanwhile, huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. The military is abolished, and replaced with the Self-Defence Forces that are only, and only, to defend the nation. The military is forbidden from deploying forces, and doing anything else that is not defending. A ban on nationalist and far-right parties also takes place; and also any Japanese denying any war crimes will result in a big fine and a jail sentence (think OTL Germany having laws against Holocaust denial). Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama kindly declines in joining EATO, citing a move towards neutrality. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war.
 * Spain: We begin to influence our neighbours in Andorra and Portugal to be more closely aligned with Spain through trade agreements and alliances. We request that they should join in the Iberian Union which would discuss issues between our nations and across the world. We begin mass propaganda campaigns to quell and control the populace of Spain to more closely align to Fascism. We begin establishing colonies in Spanish Africa to allow our population to expand. We begin to star research in civilian and mostly the military sector. We begin in secret, ways to enrich uranium. We will begin to build weaponry at a slow pace since we are at peace. We will begin industrialization and we begin to initiate tensions between the Berbers and the Arabic people so that they would not be independent. We will send people to Greece to see if there is any chance for a Fascist movement to be started (Mod).
 * Saudi Arabia asks Spain to apply to join the SDP. Spain would then have a large say in international politics, and be protected by becoming allied with the Federation and others, and help the Federation in the nuclear program.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Spain to join the European Union. We think it would be a better investment than the SDP because it would allied with other European powers and be more informed about European politics.
 * Spain: The Spanish feel that the SDP offers more benefits than the European Union. We will join the SDP in return for mutual collaboration in our nuclear programs and allowing us mutually to build bases in each others countries.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation agrees and has voted to include you in on the SDP. The Federation looks forward to the future with its new Spanish ally.
 * Norway: We request to join NATO and we send trade agreements with Britain for oil. We promise to the NATO nations that if they need oil we will always supply them. We also set up oil rigs in remote places of Norway. We begin mass production of newly built machines such as televisions and automobiles. With further discovery of oil in Norway many motorcycle companies such as Tempo begin mass production of motorcycles. With American music coming up as a new music trend in Norway, jazz and swing music becomes popular among the Norwegian youth. We also continue further research in jet and rocket physics. We improve our infrastructure.
 * The United States acknowledges Norway as part of NATO.
 * British Diplomacy: We accept Norway's trade offer and in return supply it with new British technologies. We also ask Norway to join the European Union.
 * Norway: We accept Britain's offer of joining the European Union.
 * Bulgaria: We support Communists in Greece and Turkey. Military is improved.
 * France: As Paris and the French state slowly rebuild after the destruction caused by World War 2, the people of the now bruised nation try to reassert their place as a proud and strong nation. As the nation rebuilds fierce political debates occur in Paris as the right and the left fight for influence in French politics. Under the strong and charismatic influence of de Gaulle the right press for maintaining the colonial empire and restoring the glory of France while the left push for talks and demilitarizing after the chaos of occupation and liberation. Despite some sympathies for the left the strong legacy of the free French forces helps de Gaulle gain larger influence across France. Part of the right's plans include reinforcing garrisons across the colonies and figuring out how to deal with the German question. Efforts to restore French industry begin. French efforts to de-industrialize the French occupied Rhine continue however many political thinkers in France realize that at some point Germany will be needed to help restore European prosperity. Efforts ot stimulate smaller business and strategic industries are made by the government through subsidies. Paris agrees to join NATO but under reservations that D.C. will allow France to do as it sees fit within its own sphere. research into nuclear weapons continue to develop the weapon that helped win the war and to put the French on an equal footing with their American friends. France reasserts its ties with the allies and promises to help combat Communism wherever it might appear.  Efforts to modernize the armed forces begin with research going into assault rifles, medium tanks, jet fighters, rocket technology, and into the construction of air craft carriers, though a balance between reconstruction and military expansion remains in the minds of policy makers.
 * French Dip: In secret the French government approaches Rio to try to discuss a return of its American colonies taking during the war.
 * British Secret Diplomacy: We are willing to aid the French in an effort to recover its lost American colonies if the need arises.
 * Oh wow, ignoring the Monroe Doctrine are we? 
 * Federation Dip: Due to the rather aggressive action we took during the war and an agreement with the United States we can return many of the Virgin Islands and Antilles Islands but refuse Guiana. We recommend outright decolonization of the Antilles Islands. We also offer to pay a fee for the French Guiana Territory to prevent any further issues from arising about it. The Federation also offers an apology for its role in the war against France and offers a one time payment that if accepted will work towards rebuilding the relations between South America and France.
 * French Diplo: Paris agrees to the federation's proposal but requests that it be allowed to evacuate all nationals and any of the former subjects who wish to leave the region, as well as remove pieces of cultural and historical significance from french guiana.
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begin, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin.
 * French Algeria: Reasserting French control of the region begins and a promise to the Pied Noir and Algerian Jews is made that the French are there to stay and efforts to get the native Algerians to accept French citizenship continue as laws against Muslims in Algeria are somewhat relaxed and efforts to allow French law and Islamic law to coexist within the province of Algeria are made. military strength in the region is increased.
 * French Indochina: Efforts to curtail Communism in the region begin as heavy handed suppression of resistance is endorsed while leniency to defectors is promised. troops are moved north to maintain French control along the northern borders with China and extensive sweeps of the Indochinese jungles begin. aside from this a policy of economic development in the region begins to help restore the economy of the colony and cultural promotion begins.
 * Madagascar: economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Syria and Jordania: Unlike the other colonies efforts to slowly disengage from the now volatile region begin, however, as efforts to strengthen the Alawite loyalists begin to keep a puppet regime in power and to curtail the ambitions of possible pan-Arabic groups. troops are placed near the border with Kurdistan to curtail the influence of the middle eastern democracy in the region, however Paris makes it clear that it would be willing to cooperate with the Kurds if they do not go against French designs for the region.
 * Kurdistan points out to France that it cannot hope to hold Syria in the long term, and that Kurdistan it will continue to promote the interests of Kurds and allied minority alike the Assyrians and Druze, in Syria. The Kurds are open to discussion on Syria's long-term fate, however.
 * Philippines:  We continue the First Economic Plan. We build some factories (focusing mainly on light industry, such as textiles) on its main urban centres. Agricultural output per capita is improved. We encourage migration to its major urban centres like Manila, Cebu, and Zamboanga. The government continues its massive purge of corrupt politicians. More money is invested in healthcare, and medical technology, infant mortality and life expectancy begin to show improvement.
 * Feud, how many factories do you think I can make in a six month period?
 * Not very many. Industrialization takes decades and you're not Japan. To get hundreds of factories is going to take a long time. Start with a few at a time. -Feud
 * I am well aware of the time it takes for a nation to industrialise and modernise.
 * Vietnam begins to stir, and moevments for independence begin to spring up everywhere. Ho Chi Minh become the leader of the Vietnamese National Front, an organization with ties to Communism that believes that the time has come for France to leave Indochina.
 * Yugoslavia: We offer a trade agreement with Romania: we sell them military equipment and oil and we give you copper. We would like a trade agreement with the Soviet Union: We buy military equipment and oil and we send you copper. We continue to build our military. We would like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia to do what Italy and Britain has done and develops the nuclear bomb together. This will be called the 'Soviet-Yugoslavian Nuclear Program'. We send hundreds of troops to fight the democratcy in Greece. We would like to create the 'East European Union' which is for Communist nations, we invite the Soviet Union, Romania, Bulgaria, Communist Greece and any other Communist country to join it. We aid Communist revolutions in Turkey. We sell copper to our Communist friends. We aid Communist revolutions worldwide. We promote Communism in India. We promote Communism in British Africa and in other European Africans lands. We continue to rebuild after the shock of World War 2.
 * Romanian ip: We accept the trade of oil for copper for the mutual benefit of our nations. We agree on the East European Union idea, however we must say that we propose the name 'Bucharest Pact'. We'd also like to join a joint Soviet-Yugoslav-Romanian development of a nuclear programme.
 * Bulgaria: We would like to join this joint nuclear program. Also we would like to be in the 'East European Union, but propose it be called the Moscow Pact, seeing as the Soviets are the strongest out of all of us.
 * Switzerland: Britain, Italy and Norway are accepted into the EU, becoming the first four (including Switzerland) to join. The first meeting of the EU is scheduled for 1949, unless anyone wants it at a later date. The main issues to be debated are" India, Apartheid in South Africa and European rebuilding efforts. Switzerlandcontinues to aid in European rebuilding efforts and offers loans to the nations affected by the war. Deciding that even though it is almost impossible, in the event Switzerland is hit by a nuclear device we request British nuclear protection. 
 * Second Méxican Empire: Maximilian III along with the rest of the nation continues to recover from the Second World War. The Nuremberg trials shock the nation, learning of the atrocities of Nazi leaders and of such. Maximilian III says in a speech short afterword "What the Nazi high command has done to the Jewish population is ... Unspeakable." After these trials, México, still uneasy with the United States, looks to repair its relations with the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. A diplomat is sent to the United States to improve the current diplomatic situation with them. About Nuclear technology is continued to be worked on non-stopped to create a weapon to protect the nation from foreign powers The situation in Greece is frowned upon, with the military being sent to nearby SDP member Turkey in case if the situation turns of the worst. México proposes a thing called the "United Nations" and asks the Southern Defense Pact, NATO, and EATO to go along and enact on the idea. [Mil/Eco]
