Axis vs Allies Resurrection (Map Game)

Axis vs Allies Resurrection is the something or other and latest installment is the latest AvA game to date!!! The year is 1933. Hitler has just taken power in Germany. The world is still in a depression. Unemployment is high. Choose a nation, and command it to success and glory. Will your nation become a superpower? Or will it be crushed? Make no mistake; war is coming ... with all its glory ... and all its horror. It is never too late to join, as Pita would say. ==Rules== #We are going to limit the nations count to one because when a person gets two countries, they usually neglect the other one. #The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated ... IS NOT IT! But - you must be plausible. #Nuclear programs may start in 1940. The mods will decide who finishes through the chance algorithm and then common sense (which is not so common). #One half year per day. #We will have resolutions/stuff when the UN is created. #For now, Scraw is the mapmaker. #New turns start at 00:00:00 UTC or 7:00 EST. #Game is archived every 15 years. #A new image file is created for every new map, which is created every two years. #After a nation has been inactive for two years, Plausibility Points will be taken away. After five years, the user will be removed from the game. #You may create proxies and use them in turns. #You can develop  TWO  of the following per turn (military, economy, infrastructure) #Until a player posts, all their diplomacy is to be decided by RNG. ===Mod Rules=== #The number of mods is set and the mods are handpicked for their reputation as sane and plausible map gamers. #In the case that a mod leaves, the other mods will pick a replacement. #Mods must be plausible in their mod events and must not target any particular nation. #Carving large empires is NOT a cause for mod targeting, unless it is implausible. #Mods are moderated by the mods. #Mods can make up their own fancy titles! ===Vassal Rules=== #You cannot make stupid vassals. This means that if you are France, you cannot make a puny vassal to help in an algorithm. #No carving vassals from your main nation, unless it is a location of great dispute (ex: Catalonia from Spain is OK). #Main nations can declare war on a nation that border a vassal. ===Organization Rules=== #Anyone can create a terrorist organization, but anyone who is less than a primary power cannot use terrorism to destroy heads of government or state, or to blow up seats of government. #Organizations are not allowed in algorithms (The US player cannot use the KKK when invading Canada). ==Map Rules== *Each map must be labelled "AvARv X.Y.png" where X is the year and Y is only used in the half turn. *Any file type except .png is not accepted. *Only exception to the First rule is the starting map XD. *A map will be made in every year that is divisible by five. Exception is the first one because it is so cute and special. ==Map== ==Mods== Bolded means accepted *Pita (Honorary) *MP *Scraw *Edgeofnight *Upvoteanthology * Crim '''I think we have enough mods. Five mods for ~20 players is good. Mapmakers *Saturn120 ==Nations== Bold''' must have 1000 edits and a good reputation, or be a mod. Bold and Italic must have 3000 and a good reputation, or be a mod. ===North America=== * Canada * Mexico - Graham Industries. Creating the future, today.

Don't do stupid stuff please.   Albert Einstein flees Nazi Germany and settles in the United States at Princeton, New Jersey.   The Fujian People's Government is formed in China.   Germany withdraws from the League of Nations and the World Disarmament Conference.   Leó Szilárd, waiting for a red light on Southampton Row in Bloomsbury, conceives the idea of the nuclear chain reaction.   Winston Churchill begins making speeches on the dangers of Nazi Germany.  Prohibition Ends in the USA.  *Second Spanish Republic:''' After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After his inauguration, Niceto schedules meeting with major military leaders, to try to improve he Spanish Navy and to defend Spain from foreign threats and civil unrest. Niceto also schedules meeting with major mining corporations, which are planned to take place later in the year. Mining corporations stocks start to decline, due to the weaker leadership before Niceto. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inaugural speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." The Second Spainish Republic would also like to establish relations with The United Kingdom and France, in order to help the suffering Spanish economy by offering a trade agreement. [Mil/Econ Turn] *Liechtenstein: The nation of Liechtenstein asks for a defensive pact with the nations of San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, and Luxembourg, in an effort to ensure our nation's security and prosperity. We offer Princess Maria Theresia von Liechtenstein as a suitable bride to Jean von Bourbon-Parma of Luxembourg. Biebrich Palace and Weilburg Castle are purchased. Our numerous estates and territories across Poland, Silesia, Bohemia, and Austria are expanded. A military force is created to police our nation, consisting of 300 active personnel. We end attempts by the Swiss to create a political union with our nation. *Luxembourg agrees because OTL. *Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. *Thailand: Thailand begins to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. * Yugoslavia: Milan Strojadinovis is the prime minister while King Peter Karađorđević gets the throne from his dead parents this year. We build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We ask the UK, Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Spain, France and Poland for an alliance. We improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are being built around the nation. Factories start to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. '''We ask the UK if we an borrow money from them.  * Iran:''' Seek European support for the modernization of our infrastructure and launch our oil industry. We offer Germany, England, France and America a trade agreement. Effort to Westernize our population start throughout a nation wide western system of education. The upper class tend to support the reform but the middle class stay attach to the traditional way of life. *Both of you can't build that many relations in one turn, and you are building relations with nations that don't like each other. * Germany: With the Reich almost secure Hitler and the Nazi party start maneuvering around the Versailles treaty through indirect arms production, increasing industrial output and covertly expanding the informal German armed forces. anti-Communist legislation are passed one after another curtailing the political rights of not just left wing parties but of those opposing the Nazis in general. violent attacks on Jews, Communists, and other political enemies grow as the S.A. now has a free hand to do as they wish throughout Germany. '''Out of fear for their lives Communist agitators begin plotting in secret the death of Adolf Hitler, and other top members of the Reich, in an attempt to seize power for themselves, they seek support from the USSR in secret. '''The Rhineland capitalists, and Prussian junkers enjoy an increase in profits following a return of confidence to the German market with the Nazi rise to power though they are skeptical about the path Hitler will take Germany down but wait in quiet to see what will happen. Despite some return of confidence in Germany the inflation rate remains massive and people question if Hitler will be able to bring about the miracle he promised. The German scientific community continues to develop in the areas of physics, chemistry, and natural sciences such as medicine though it suffers a great loss with the slow but steady exodus of Jewish scientists. Development in aeronautic engineering, and experimental physics in particular enjoy major funding from the military and the private sector, a few members of the German scientific community take an interest in Leo's discoveries and try to replicate them with little success at first but they remain confident that they will succeed at some point. *United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 33 years. The Prime Minister is Ramsay MacDonald. He is the first Labour Party Prime Minister in British history. The United Kingdom and her colonies are reeling from the Great Depression.The economy is in free-fall with no signs of stopping. The nation, which is still war weary from the Great War, warns against the regime in Germany, stating that it is a sure-fire way that will only lead to the Treaty of Versailles being repealed and German aggression returning. This speech is well-received in some audiences, but others dismiss it. With the rapidly faltering economy, support for the Liberal Party increases. Frontrunner Sir Herbert Samuel leads the Liberal Party as of 1933. He begins working with the colonies to gather support for the Liberal Party. Liberal Party sentiment grows in Scotland. As of the end of this year, Sir Herbert Samuel seems to have garnered much support for his run as Prime Minister in the upcoming General Elections. In the meantime, Ramsay MacDonald's health is faltering, leading to ineffective rule. In October, Newfoundland returns to Crown Colony status after acute economic crisis. Experimental radar technology is tested along the English Channel. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom. ** Canada Diplomacy: We are going to ask the United Kingdom for a definite alliance, in addition to a trade agreement and ensuring that we have an embassy in London and that there is a British embassy in Ottawa. ** ​You are a part of the British Empire. ** Turkish - British Diplomacy: The Republic of Turkey requests the United Kingdom to sell 150,000 rifles to the Turkish Armed Forces. It is considered our utmost need to protect our nation from any threat, and verily; it has come to our notice that the Soviet Union exists as a threat to the interests of the United Kingdom and it would would a total strategic failure for Britain for if the Soviet Union was to ever gain a gateway into the Middle East through Turkey. It is not hidden from us that the United Kingdom will eventually have to depend upon Turkey to act as a deterrent to the Soviet expansion and will eventually have to look our way. We look forward to the reply from the government of Your Majesty. *Venezuela: Juan Vicente Gómez Is in office as president. He is distrustful of unions and dose not like oil rebellious workers. President Gómez still grants huge concessions to family and friends. He has himself accumulated immense expanses of grasslands for cattle-raising, which had been his original occupation and was a lifelong passion. The fledgling oil industry's income is allowing President Gómez to expand Venezuela's rudimentary infrastructure and is modernizing trend in the areas where it operating. We try to improve our urban roads and water supplies around Caracas and Cabimas. (For oil stuff see-). An urban literacy campaign is held in Caracas and Cabimas. As a poor and unstable nation we take a generally isolationist line outside of any oil trade, which is a state run project. **German Dip: The ambassador to the U.K. promises that Germany only wants peace and equality in Europe (keep in the mind this is the kind of thing the Germans said in otl to keep the Brits and French off their back so it is plausible to say this. ) ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask to exchange embassies, one in Caracas and one in Ottawa. ** Venezuela Rep: is an impoverished mess that is not doing well at this point in time, so we do not want to spend time and cash building embassy in Canada. **Guatemala offers a trade deal to Venezuela. **Venezuela: We agree to the trade deal with Guatemala. *Brazil: Getulio Vargas knowing that in Order to bring Brazil to a more powerful, influential and Stable society He begins the development of support for a few much needed reforms in the Brazilian government. Along side this he begins an increasingly deep centralization with his own armed forces allowing him to keep much needed control over the force. He looks to the future as well hoping to end the Great Depression in Brazil and in a solid attempt to grow local industry and break the declining agricultural cash crop export he begins a program to settle and develop the Amazon river as the Industrial powerhouse of South America. The process begins with the mass employ and promise of clear land of men who wish to turn much of the rivers surrounding forest into lumber and other products for industry. Vargas also in a bold move against some of his constituency burns some of the coffee farms product in order to drive the price for Coffee up again being the worlds largest exporter This also leads to a purchase in much coffee to avoid the utter bankruptcy of the many coffee plantation owners. Vargas mandates the use of purchase of domestic coal which since WW1 has began a rather sharp upswing in Brazil's economic fortunes. In Rio Grande Do Sul the Nation sees its first real minor economic expansion in years as the opening of a few new factories has proved to be profitable. Unable to really see a true end to the Great Depression Brazil begins to look for some help as the previous leading creditors and powers seem unable to save this Debacle of a global economy. This leads to a more friendly policy to currently resource hungry nations. Brazil decides to contact the Japanese government about establishing a trade deal for Rubber and other key industrial consumables as a major point to help expand their own capabilities. Vargas also seeing the poor state of the Brazilian military orders the development of a modernization program in order to push the Nations military into a new age. This leads to the beginning of development on some new weaponry and the planned modernization of Brazil's two battleships São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The modernization of both is expected to take almost two years and is to aid in the eventual expansion of Brazil into a leading world power. Brazil's 35 million population shows some modest expansion but with the plans to rapidly clear settlement space in the Amazons the intrigue of immigrating to Brazil begins to increase for various Europeans. The Brazilian military begins to look at expanding an air force capability, as well as looking to expand its naval capability as well. The Army itself just looks to improve its standing as a respectable armed force. Getulio Vargas sends envoys to all South American nations to discuss improving the continents overall global standing as well as co-operating to try to rebuild economies. The Brazilian government begins to open up relations with Paraguay and Uruguay using Good relations with Uruguay to make influential inroads and using the sheer size and influence of Brazil to expand Brazil's lacking influence in that particular country. Brazil with the new ability to purchase heavy industry equipment from Japan manages to secure various industrial equipments in aeronautics, Shipbuilding, and other industries shipping large quantities of Rubber to Japan. Vargas with severe opposition increases deficit spending on a large roadway system out of the densely populated coasts in order to now link up much of Brazil via these roadways. **Venezuela Diplomacy: We will think about it. ** Holy See Diplomacy: We are looking into establishing a formal temporal presence in Latin America. Would Brazil be willing to sell territory in either Rio de Janeiro (the Carmelite Complex or near the statue) or Brasilia. ** Stop asking for things. ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask to exchange embassies (one in Ottawa and one in Rio de Janeiro) *France: With news of German rearmament the French government and military become very wary of the industrial powerhouse it is and begin to pick up military upkeep and bring in more troops to train in caution of the German war machine. Also with great Depression hitting France hard, the colonial upkeep becomes harder to maintain. In response to this the French plan on giving its colonies, mainly Indochina, more sovereign freedoms to cut back on the military and naval forces station within those colonial regions. '''We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. However, we come to discussion to and maintain at least simmering relations with Germany. ** Holy See Diplomacy:''' We ask France if we can purchase the former Avignon Papal Enclave. ** France: We agree to sell the Avignon Enclave. ** '''Am I the only one who finds it weird that the Vatican is getting land from these nations? I don't think France would sell Avignon like that.''' **Why is this crossed out, could someone answer me on the talk page. **German Dip: The ambassador to the French promises that Germany only wants peace and equality in Europe (keep in the mind this is the kind of thing the Germans said in OTL to keep the Brits and French off their back so it is plausible to say this.) ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask France for a confirmed alliance. We also would like a trade agreement with France, and an establishment of embassies in Paris and Ottawa, with Consulates in Montreal and Quebec City. We would like to discuss the status of Germany after they have left the Disarmament Conference and League of Nations. We would also like to buy 50 bomber planes. *Guatemala Suffers very deeply from the Great Depression, as commodity prices plummet and the country's sole employer, United Fruit Co., halts operations. Hundreds of thousands are left unemployed, especially in the already discontented north of the country, and payment to the army is even cut off temporarily. As anger boils over, rioting begins in various cities, and the Mayans and Ki'iche rise up and seize the regional office of United Fruit, demanding land. Dictator Jorge Ubico prudently leaves the country for Italy. Civil unrest looks set to continue as the year ends, with various groups struggling for control of the country. By the year's end, the ruling party has been overthrown by a coalition of indigenous parties from the North and socialist parties from the urban south, who form the unitary People's Party of Guatemala to rule. The military is disbanded and replaced with supporters of the new party, which declares its intent to conduct land reform. It begins by nationalizing United Fruit's assets, compensating the company at the Depression's much lowered prices. The military starts modernizing. **Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree to the trade deal with Guatemala. *Canada: We build up our economy as we try to recover from the depression. We grant the women of Quebec full voting rights (the last province to do so). We continue our alliances with the United States, Britain and France, and would like to increase trade with these three countries as well. We will build up our infrastructure as well, especially building roads west to Calgary and south into the United States, especially toward Detroit, New York and Boston. We are beginning to get mad at Germany for leaving the Disarmament Conference, going against the Treaty of Versailles (also for the League of Nations, but that's less concerning). Socialist movements begin to rise. **'''Minor thing, but Canada and the US have very clear set borders that the two rarely cross, plus you would need the US okay to construct anything in the States. ~Eon * Vatican City:''' We look to establish a presence in various Catholic nations around the world hoping to provide people with religious and economic assistance. * Switzerland's military falls into the spotlight over the suppression of an anti-fascist demonstration in Geneva. Reform of the military soon becomes an issue in Switzerland. Coupled with the effects of the Great Depression the Free Democratic government is forced into elections and the Social Democrats receive the most votes and seats, forming a coalition government. They set about with a referendum in March 1933, which succeeds in allowing objectors to the war and people not fully fit for military service to take part in a new Swiss Civil Defense Corps. State reforms in the summer of 1933 extend the vote to women after another referendum and even allow for limited participation in the military. The government also proposes to introduce some Keynesian measures in order to help bring the nation out of the depression, including work on large public projects such as roadworks, new buildings and the defensive National Redoubt. ** Holy See Diplomacy: We ask the Swiss to reinstate and remove the ban the Societas Jesu, and allow them to conduct their practices. In addition, we are looking to establish a formal presence in Switzerland. We are looking to purchase Abbey of Saint Gall and a few surrounding hectare to establish a university and medical facilities in St. Gallen. ** Swiss Diplomacy: Well, you are free to establish a university or medical facility in St Gallen, but cannot allow an exchange of property to become de facto or de jure Papal territory unless it will serve as an embassy. *** Holy See Diplomacy: Could the Abbey and surrounding buildings become an extraterritoriality of the Vatican/Holy See. We would still develop a University and Hospital. All three would be open to the public and require no visas to enter. ** Hungary Diplomacy: We would like to establish an embassy located in Zürich. ** Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to that. ** Canada Diplomacy: We would like to exchange embassies, allowing a Swiss embassy in Ottawa and a Canadian embassy in Bern. ** Swiss Diplomacy: We agree to that. *Greece: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force currently stand at 300,000 men. Feeling rather vulnerable to foreign attacks, the government decides to begin fortifying the long northern border with an elaborate system of trenches and bunkers. Plans begin to be drafted on the construction of more tanks, ships and aircraft. This is really meta. *Hungary: Hungary heavily builds up its economy, and the Government under Miklós Horthy starts imposing higher taxes. Hungary starts to become richer, and invests in a military. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 300,000 men. Taxes keep on rising, allowing further investment for tanks, ships and aircraft. The people of Hungary still "support" their dictator, knowing the consequences of speaking against him. Hungary looks to establish embassies in foreign countries, in order to protect its people on vacation. (Military and Economy turn) ** ​New Zealand Diplomacy: We ask for permission to construct an embassy in Budapest, in exchange for an Hungarian embassy in Wellington. ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask for an exchange of embassies (one in Budapest and one in Ottawa) *Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. **Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy. **Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy **Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies. **German Diplomacy Berlin agrees to the trade agreement. ** Belgium Diplomacy: Brussels Government accepts the trade agreement. **New Zealand Diplomacy: We ask The Netherlands for permission to construct an embassy in Amsterdam, in exchange for an Netherlands embassy in Wellington. ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask for an exchange of embassies (one in Ottawa and one in Amsterdam). ** Dutch Dip: We accept your offers, but do note that the embassies are located in The Hague, not Amsterdam. ** Japanese Diplomacy: We wish to buy New Guinea and the Moluccas in return for 12 million, an embassy in Tokyo, and extensive trade between our realms. ** Dutch Dip: Accepted, provided there comes a Japanese embassy in The Hague ** Japanese Diplomacy: we agree to have an embassy built in The Hague. *New Zealand: Prime Minister George Forbes makes several reforms, which doubles the Prime Minister's popularity. However, Harry Holland (Labour Party) continues to get gains in the Parliament. A Statue of first Prime Minister Henry Sewell is erected in Christchurch. Prime Minister George Forbes tries to get New Zealand out of the Great Depression, therefore he creates thousand of new jobs, which strengthens the economy. However, it is still in the Great Depression. '''We ask the United Kingdom if we could buy two Nelson-class battleships in order to protect New Zealand, in exchange for three New Zealand ships. Military and infrastructure is improved. *Japan:''' Months after the May 15th incident, the military gains more control of the government. Thus militaristic decisions are made and the army sees swift growth. The depression swings a punch at japan and her territories, but the economy begins a slow rebound. The infrastructure of the nation improves and work on modernizing the roads begins. **Korea: We improve military and infrastructure. **Manchukuo: We improve military and infrastructure. ** Canada Diplomacy: We ask Japan for an embassy in Edo and a consulate in Nagoya in exchange for an embassy in Ottawa and a Consulate in Toronto. ** Japanese Diplomacy: We accept this offer and hope we can prosper together. ** Seriously, Canada? ** Brazilian Dip: We are willing to provide rubber and other military necessities to Japan in exchange for a long standing trade deal as well as the allowance of Heavy industry purchases. ** Japanese Diplomacy: We accept. **Guatemala: offers Japan a trade deal. * Belgium: We accept the Netherlands' trade agreement. The infrastructure improves and exports its materials. The military taking more ground, but some really choices came up for building a navy. * Australia: We request that Britain give us two battleships for protection. We begin building and developing our economy. * Swiss Diplomacy: We would like to inquire with the Italians if they are willing to sell their exclave town of Campione d'Italia. **Italy Dip: We accept your generous offer. *Italy: We strengthen our economy, and put more people to work in our glorious Italian factories. We ask Germany and Spain for an alliance. We ask Switzerland for an official peace treaty, and agree to recognize the Holy See as an autonomous region of Italia. We ask for an embassy in Switzerland, to better keep an eye over our allies. **Swiss Diplomacy: The Swiss agree to an eternal and long lasting peace with their southern neighbors and agree to exchange embassies. ** *British Raj: India begins building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. The Indian Navy begins to modernizing and building, with an battleship is under construction in Chennai. India asks China and France if they would like to establish embassies (one in Beijing, one in Paris and two in Delhi), to keep better an eye over its allies. *You need England's okay to do anything foreign or build up like that. **http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion *Swiss Diplomacy: The Swiss and Liechtensteiner government begin discussion over the possibility of a potential political co-operation that could perhaps lead to some sort of union in the future in order for Switzerland to acquire a strong head of state figure and Liechtenstein to improve on their economic and military links with the Swiss. **Liechtenstein Dip [MOD RESPONSE]: Random Number Generator comes up 68 (even = yes, odd =no). We accept your proposal, given that we have a year to prepare at the least. **Swiss Diplomacy: Yes. You will have some time to prepare all arrangements for the union. For the moment we would like to see if any ork though can be done in extending the Swiss Redoubt into Liechtenstein in the next years. *Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, grows worried over the Nazi takeover of Germany. In response to this coup, '''Denmark offers renewed alliances with Britain and France, and offers trade pacts as well to those two countries. '''Denmark expands the national military in 1933 by launching a conscription service. **Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany. **Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland. *Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King '''seeks foreign nations aid in chasing a rumor regarding oil in Arabia. '''The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. '''Regarding the disputed border with Yemen, we offer to return the Yemeni Coast (Under Saudi Occupation until the war) in exchange for an alliance. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED) **Yemeni Dip [MOD RESPONSE]:''' Random Number Generator comes up 39 (even = yes, odd = no). I'm afraid that we cannot accept your offer. **Swiss Diplomacy: Switzerland would be interested in helping the Saudis in any potential exploration of oil. **The United States is also interested in pursuing oil. OIL **Venezuela: We note this. *Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude. *In the United States, things happen. FDR does lots of New Deal things, such as creating the Civil Works Administration. The United States also seeks to establish formal diplomatic relations with the SOVIET UNION. (This is an OTL thing, BTW.) The Dust Bowl begins to attack the central US. The US also continues to occupy Haiti. The plans for Philippine independence are delayed due to Japanese militarization in the Far East. **Brazilian Dip: The Brazilian military requests to purchase 200 M2 Light tanks from the United states to facilitate the development of battle doctrine and its own military use. **The United States agrees. **Canada: We want to buy 50 battleships and ten submarines. We hope to use this to protect us from the east, which will also help protect the USA. *South Africa: The South African government orders a general mobilization of all men ages 18-25 for military training in light of the hostilities and extensive military build-up in Europe. The threat of an invasion by a European power hostile to Great Britain concerns many leaders in the nation, and therefore no chances are to be taken by South Africa. The government also requests the publication of a white paper by the military, to show members of Parliament all of the threats posed to the nation, the weaknesses of the military, and the budget and equipment needed to rectify all of the issues. Elsewhere, attempts to increase the literacy of the black African population begins. Though many Afrikaaners are opposed to the decision, many economists have pushed their support stating a potential increase in economic development within the nation if more of the nation's manpower was fully utilized. So as to pacify members of Parliament, the government mandates that only 150,000 black African men may be taught how to read and write by the government between 1933 and 1940, so as to prevent too many from potentially threatening white-minority rule in South Africa. In the UN mandate of South-West Africa, the construction of a railway from Windhoek to Uppington begins. The government in South-West Africa hopes that the railway will create new jobs as well as encourage immigration into the territory. A monetary incentive is promised to any adult male who agrees to move to South-West Africa for a period of ten years along with their family, and establish roots in the region to increase the population of the mandate territory. *Soviet Union: The Soviet Union under the leadership of the most honorable Comrade Stalin does its best to enhance the lives of the people and expand the ideas of socialism and Communism. In the nation, industrialization is viewed by the central government as key to enhance the living and capabilities of the people, and as such the central government does what it can to encourage the growth of industry, although such progress is currently slow. One noticeable achievement does take place with the opening of the Stalin White Sea-Baltic Sea canal, named after the honorable comrade himself. Allegations that the canal was built with forced labor are silenced by the NKVD, as are allegations that there is mass starvation in the Ukraine SSR. Comrade Stalin does note the many ethnic groups present in the USSR and begins to consider reformatting the current four soviet republics into more ethnically friendly states that can work together in better communion. In foreign affairs, Comrade Stalin approves of establishing diplomatic ties with the United States as well as tentatively supporting the Communist rebels in the German State. **Mongolia: Little happens in Mongolia in terms of industrialization or economic change. The current Communist government follows the example of the Soviet Union in most matters and continues its persecution of Mongolian Buddhists and especially monks. **Tuva: Like Mongolia, little currently happens in the Tuvan People's Republic. Persecution of Buddhist monks continues as planned. ***Argentina Dip: We request to purchase 100 T-26 tanks and licenses to produce our own. ***Soviet Diplomacy: This order will take some time to fulfill, but granted. *Kingdom of Nepal (नेपाल अधिराज्य): Following the new reign of Juddha Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the Nepali government begins to attempt to modernize, albeit it is considered to be a feat hardly accomplishable without British aid. Moreover, due to the already numerous offspring off Juddha Shamsher, the succession issue continues to grow as the number of dissatisfied Rana dynasty members grows. Attempting to call for British aid, the Nepali government draws upon the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship signed in 1923, asking for help in developing the nation. *Argentina: The military pulls a battleship into dry dock for repair. The army looks to purchase tanks from the USSR. The economy begins to improve and there is research into developing rubber tree plantations. Army units move south for training missions and to practice on defenses. 10,000 soldiers and two destroyers are involved. The air force looks to update the aircraft in the fleet. * China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jianxi Soviet is launched by the KMT with the objective of eliminating the core province of the Chinese Socialist Republic. With the Communists gone, China could be officially reunified through military force. On the opposite side, the Chinese Red Army defends against the invading National Revolutionary Army's forces. The KMT also launches a smaller campaign against the Fujian People's Government. Meanwhile, in order to improve Chiang Kai-Shek introduces major agricultural and industrial reforms in China, thus improving Chinese infrastructure, thus causing railroads to be constructed and agriculture to improve, most notably the growing of rice, wheat, and cotton. The military is also improved. Meanwhile, the Communists initiate direct land reform for the peasants, ousting the warlords, and help the peasants directly supplying them with much needed weapons, seed, and shelter. Meanwhile, the warlords continue to react against the Communists. * '''CCP: As we have helped our people, we request that the USSR helps us. ''' *Monaco: The nation of Monaco asks for a non aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. Prince Louis_II meets with Captain Regents Carlo Balsimelli and Melchiorre Filippi of San Marino in order to establish lasting relations with the nation of San Marino. A similar trip is planned for Liechtenstein. ==1934.0== '''The Austrian Civil War breaks out and lasts for four days. The war concludes with Austria becoming a Fascist State. (Null and void if Blocky shows up and decides otherwise.) I am here and have decided otherwise. ~ Blocky Authoritarian regimes are established in Latvia and Estonia. A coup upsets the political order in Bulgaria. *Second Spanish Republic:''' After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more health care benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." The Second Spainish Republic would also like to establish relations with The United Kingdom, United States, and France, in order to help the suffering Spanish economy by investing in the mining companies and by offering a trade agreement. [Mil/Econ Turn] **French Dip: We agree to assist the Spanish *Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. 'The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ''visits Germany for Hitler's funeral and mourns the loss of the German patriot. During the visit, he has a meeting with Oskar von Hindenburg regarding expansion of trade relations.  **​German dip: Oskar receives Kemal with a warm welcome and welcomes the idea of improving trade with Turkey. *Venezuela:''' We continue with the water, literacy and road improvements; and plant a few rubber plantations. We start nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations,  compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used. The state oil and rubber firms are slightly upgraded. Agriculture and ranching expands slightly. The USA's interest in oil is noted. We may have lots more oil than initially thought of, but do not fully trust foreigners. :*Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree to the earlier Guatemala trade deal and offer one to Brazil. *Argentinian Diplomacy: We offer a trade deal and possibly a military technology exchange treaty. We request to purchase oil from your nation. **Venezuela Diplomacy: We agree. *Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We ask Germany for a secret alliance. *France: With news of the new German regime the French government opens up peaceful and positive relations with the Germans. France begin to slow down its rearmament due to the newer saner German government. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain it's current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. '''We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic offers (Last turn dip, Econ turn, last was a Mil) **​German Dip: Berlin is thankful that France is willing to commit to talks and proposes in early 1935 a conference in the neutral state of Luxembourg to come to terms (RNG if Luxembourg will allow talks to occur in the country please.) **Canada Dip:''' I ask to buy battleships and submarines from France. How about 25 battleships and ten submarines for a start. Now that you are disarming again, why not make money off of it? Also, if you are disarming any more, you may give it to us for our protection. We are willing to sell our gold and coal for planes, if possible. *Thailand: Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. *Canada: Canada begins to build up its military, especially its air force and navy in the East. we also build up our economy, still recovering from the depression, but our economy is headed in the right direction. We focus on improving our oil sector, installing new oil rigs, mainly for sale and use in our planes. So basically, We have oil to sell in exchange for military (such as tanks, aircraft, and submarines). We ask to buy submarines, battleships and air planes from France and the USA. We also ask for the UK to give us ships for our own protection. '''We ask the British Empire to set up a plan to eventually let us become completely independent, as this is much more effective and the current system is somewhat of a burden on our politics, though we hope to maintain relations with the UK.  *Greece:''' The reforms in the military continue with more troops being recruited into the army, navy, and air force. A new training program is adopted to create better soldiers and officers. The number of troops on the northern border with Bulgaria increases due to the coup, in case things get out of control and more unstable. Total personnel count is around 300,000. Meanwhile, the Greek government decides to improve railways in the country for faster transport, and work begins on upgrading the existing railways lines as well as the building of new ones. *Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to prosper and grow under the grace and strength of Comrade Stalin (Obvious propaganda is obvious). Industry continues to grow at a very slow pace, although the central government has optimistic reports about the economic future of the Soviet Union. On the international front, the Soviet Union watches with considerable distaste as its "Servants of the People" in Xinjiang are losing ground to Chinese warlords and religious fanatics. To counter this trend of events, the Soviet Union sends two Red Army detachments to assist in the creation of an East Turkestan People's Republic. The Red Army is aided in their mission by several groups of Mongol cavalry and, more remarkably, some White Russian forces. The allied forced engage the enemy Chinese warlords and military forces, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The mountainous terrain allows the Chinese to launch considerable attacks and ambushes on Soviet forces, but the Chinese forces cannot match Soviet air power or armor on the open plains. The war eventually ends in a ceasefire before the start of the next year, although the Red Army is disappointed that they were unable to liberate Urumqi before the war's end. They did manage to liberate a substantial amount of territory and now are establishing martial law in the area in prelude to setting up an administrative government. Aid is also sent to help the CCP in their mission to liberate the peoples of China, mainly medicine and small arms. **Mongolia: Persecution of Buddhist monks and establishments continue, as well as any previous legacies of oppression of the people. Small detachments of cavalry are sent to aid the Soviets in their liberation of Xinjiang. **Tuva: Persecution of religious figures continues, closely following the examples of the Soviet Union and Mongolia. A single cavalry detachment is sent to help the Soviets in their war. *German Reich: After months of plotting the remnants of the Communist Party and other far left groups execute their planned coup attempt in the 6th of January launching an attack on Hitler's residence and that of several other high ranking Nazi party members as well as several military garrisons around Berlin in an attempt to seize control of the city. Hitler, Himmler, Goering, and other high ranking Nazi figures die in the attack before the S.A. is able to react however the military is able to beat back the Communist agitators arresting most of them by the end of the evening. With Hitler and other high ranking Nazi officials dead the national socialist party is in disarray. Seizing on the opportunity Hindenburg in one of his final acts as President of the Reich enforces the enabling act abolition the position of president and replacing it with the position of Regent-Marschall and placing his son Oskar von Hindenburg in the position of the Reichskanzler, and key members of the German military and counter-revolutionary movement in key positions of power such as Hans von Seeckt, Werner von Fritsch,  Gustav Ritter von Kahr, Karl von Schleicher, and amongst others. With the major opponents of the National Socialist party in key positions of the government the party is left at the mercy of the old guard. The Reichswehr is called in to disband and disarm the S.A. by force if necessary leading to the Tragische Woche (tragic week) where the German army and Freikorps opposed to the S.A. forcefully disband the military arm of the Nazi party and brutally suppress the remnants of the Communist insurgents. The new government now under the Hindenburg family's control declares an end to the state emergency and quickly shuffle the remnants of the Nazi party into a new grand coalition of right wing, far right wing, and social democrats in the Reichstag which has been left nothing more then a rubber stamp. A memorial is held for the now deceased Hitler. The new government under the dictatorial powers of the Hindenbergs pass one law after another to favor economic recovery through large scale subsidies to industry, and an expansion of the paramilitary Freikorps associated with the Reichswehr which helps decrease the unemployment level greatly as these new paramilitary groups swell in numbers taking many of the jobless youth off the streets. Large scale propaganda against the Communist threat starts circulating throughout Germany, and promising an end to the times of trouble in Germany. Plans to fully rebuild the military-industrial complex in secret are laid out by the new regime to revamp the German war machine within ten years. Efforts to strengthen the Reichmark are made to help restore trust and stability in the German market economy and in the German currency. Scientific development continues particularly in physics, chemistry and engineering. Clandestine development of planes, parts for tanks and armored vehicles, and automatic weapons begin as parts are made in different parts of Germany for assembly elsewhere in secret. '''The new regime makes a public promise to the international community to respect all treaties it has however it states that it will no longer allow outside forces determine the internal politics of the Reich. For the first time in over a decade the government officially calls itself the Deutsches Reich marking the formal end of the Weimar Republic. In this spirit under the directive of Oskar von Hindenberg who is now largely controlling the state apparatus as his father's health declines requests that talks begin with the western allies and Poland to renegotiate previous treaties and agreements between the nations and that the west recognize the threat that Communism and eastern forces pose to a deliberately weakened German State. German "volunteers" travel to China to serve as advisors should the Chinese government choose to accept them. * Nationalist Chinese Diplomacy:''' We accept the German Volunteers and we thank them for offering to help us in our time of need. * '''I am calling bullshit.  * What is bullshit? All I put in is plausible. the enabling act gave the head of state ludicrous amounts of power. With Hitler out of the picture the Nazi Party lacks the charismatic leader it would take to cement the Nazi's position of power. The Nazis still weren't completely in power and by killing him off another force would have a shot at power, and who else then the army and the old conservative guard, they were in a position of power and had the capacity to do so as well. And the speeches and dismantling the democratic institution is exactly what Hitler did just I'm dismantling it without the Nazi Party in charge, it is all possible if you don't think so give me your reasons and ill rebuttal them. I have the research to back up my plans. With Blood and Iron (talk) 10:53, February 17, 2015 (UTC) ** PS: OK, I'm not a mod, but I noiced this. Germany could follow the less extreme DNVP.The River Nile-2 (talk) 12:12, February 17, 2015 (UTC) ** It was good to also kill Heinrich Himmler as well.  Heinrich Himmler was a cunning bastard and probably would have found a niche for him self and his beliefs under such a DNVP regime anyway.The River Nile-2 (talk) 12:08, February 17, 2015 (UTC) ** The DNVP weren't popular enough and would have been derailed long term. I need a temporary solution until I can develop a more stable system of government. So, a popular military junta is my solution for the time being. With Blood and Iron (talk) 12:27, February 17, 2015 (UTC) * Iran:''' Seeks to strengthen relations with the western power and gain support to speed up the modernization of Iran. England is ask to become the main partner for the modernization effort of Iran but we hire Iraqi secularist to help lead the effort. Effort to Westernize the Iranian increase with some success in the upper class but the popular opinion stay deeply divided on the issue. Education is Westernized and several specialists are sent in Europe to learn how it works there. Women are given more liberty and made equal to the men, making the clergy upset. * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. The next elections are in 1937, unless the government breaks earlier. '''We offer an alliance to the German Reich.  **Dutch Guiana:''' We improve military and economy. **Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy **Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. '''We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies.  **German Dip: In order to aviod causing diplomatic issues in the west, Berlin offers a defence pact in the case that the Netherland's european territory is attacked. ** Belgium Dip:''' We already agreed to your trade. *British Raj: India continues building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. The Indian Government grants women in Central Provinces to full voting rights, as women can vote in elections. Hindustani is declared as official language of India due to over 200 million Indians speaks Hindustani as its primary language. India accepts trade request from Dutch East Indies, beginning with selling rice to Dutch East Indies and buys Aluminum from Dutch East Indies. *Australia: We begin researching more advanced weaponry for the armed forces. We begin improving realitions with New Zealand, and we other trade to any nation that will accept. We propose a trade deal with New Zealand concerning their sheep, and how we may aid them in spreading their trade. **New Zealand Diplomacy: We accept, as we cannot supply our 60 Million Sheep (real number in OTL) at once. *New Zealand: Even though George Forbes' reforms and job creating, he still is unpopular, as Bill Parry's and Adam Hamilton's popularity grows. However, since popular Labour Party leader Harry Holland died in 1933, Bill Parry announces that he will candidate for Prime Minister in the 1938 General Election. We continue to trade with Australia and other countries. George Forbes continues to lose popularity, being blamed that New Zealand cannot surive the Great Depression because of him, due to this, many United Party members quit, and many join the newly-founded Moderate Party, and former Reform Party member Taurekareka Henare becomes the leader of the Moderate Party, the amount of members leaving the United Party makes the political party to lose much popularity, and the political party is thrown into chaos, with several political parties forming from the United Party, ex. New United Party, National Defense Party, Liberal Unity Party. We try to be as neutral as possible in world politics. However, we state that we support the Kuomintang/Nationalists in the Chinese Civil War. We ask the Republic of China and the British Raj if we can buy some warships and alumninium. *Japan: The economy and infrastructure are the main goals of this years buildup. The buying of West Paupa pleases the military and the general public, but many of those against militarization condemn it. A few of these people suddenly resign the next day. Trade with europe grows, and bigger trade ships are built. A 18 year old in Manchukuo self-immolates. Westernization of the military continues, and in Manchukuo work on building a mass numbers of bombers begins. **Manchukuo: Economy and Infrastructure improve. **Korea: Economy and infrastructure improve. **West Paupa: Economy and Infrastructure improve. * Belgium: The industry is the key for Belgium, as its farming industries. The military and economy grows up. However, the President of Belgium, thinks the diplomatic issues might not happen, as he admits about the diplomacy. The standing population was higher than one million. As for the opportunities what will be the invasion coming. *Argentina: The first shipment of 20 T-26 tanks arrive as do the plans. The government begins to use those designs to make their own tanks. Our economy begins to recover as the government passes similar bills to the American New Deal. The US ambassador requests that Argentina ban the Communist Party, but the government refuses, although secretly they do send moles in. *'''Daes, no way you can't reverse engineer that fast, not a mod but definitely someone who knows what's being talked about. You wouldn't even be able to build prototypes much less reverse engineer stuff. -Feud *As a mod, Feud is right. At least wait another turn or two first. ~ Upvote *Hungary:''' Hungary heavily builds up its economy, and the Government begins slightly lowering taxes to attract immigrants. Hungary continues to invest in their military, because of its geographical location. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 500,000 men. The economy and infrastructure buildup are the main goals for the upcoming year. (Military and Economy turn) *Switzerland's new-deal inspired polices begin to slowly take effect. Employment levels do increase, especially as people being to be exmployed in light arms production, the construction of larger public works and construction of new modern buildings in the cities, inspired by Bauhaus and art-deco in Germany and France. The government agrees to expanding the Swiss Redoubt both inside and along the borders, firstly to provide further employment and secondly for defense of the nations. Czech-style hedgehogs are built locally and integrated into the defenses. That year the Swiss Banking Act was passed, which allowed for anonymous numbered bank accounts The Swiss military is also interested in acquiring a number of Bofors 40mm guns from Sweden and are willing to engage in trade with a fellow neutral nation **​Swedish Diplomacy: We agree to sell Bofors at a substansial sum of money.. *Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude. *Saudi Arabia: The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. '''With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defend the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. '''Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. '''We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. '''The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. *Brazil: Getulio Vargas knowing that in Order to bring Brazil to a more powerful, influential and Stable society He begins the development of support for a few much needed reforms in the Brazilian government. Along side this he begins an increasingly deep centralization with his own armed forces allowing him to keep much needed control over the force. He looks to the future as well hoping to end the Great Depression in Brazil and in a solid attempt to grow local industry and break the declining agricultural cash crop export he begins a program to settle and develop the Amazon river as the Industrial powerhouse of South America. The process begins with the mass employ and promise of clear land of men who wish to turn much of the rivers surrounding forest into lumber and other products for industry. Vargas also in a bold move against some of his constituency burns some of the coffee farms product in order to drive the price for Coffee up again being the worlds largest exporter This also leads to a purchase in much coffee to avoid the utter bankruptcy of the many coffee plantation owners. Vargas mandates the use of purchase of domestic coal which since WW1 has began a rather sharp upswing in Brazil's economic fortunes. In Rio Grande Do Sul the Nation sees its first real minor economic expansion in years as the opening of a few new factories has proved to be profitable. Unable to really see a true end to the Great Depression Brazil begins to look for some help as the previous leading creditors and powers seem unable to save this Debacle of a global economy. This leads to a more friendly policy to currently resource hungry nations. Brazil decides to contact the Japanese government about establishing a trade deal for Rubber and other key industrial consumables as a major point to help expand their own capabilities. Vargas also seeing the poor state of the Brazilian military orders the development of a modernization program in order to push the Nations military into a new age. This leads to the beginning of development on some new weaponry and the planned modernization of Brazil's two battleships São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The modernization of both is expected to take almost two years and is to aid in the eventual expansion of Brazil into a leading world power. Brazils population reaching 36.2 million. The Nation itself makes serious inroads in its Roadway system up the coasts. The Brazilian government recieves and begins to train with the 200 M2 tanks that were purchased and begins to develop its own combat doctrine based around these tanks. With this though the vehicles inadequacies begin to be realized rather quickly as the Brazilian army begins considering taking apart some in order to begin the facilitation of its own domestic vehicles being produced. *Kingdom of Nepal (नेपाल अधिराज्य): Following the new reign of Juddha Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the Nepali government begins to attempt to modernize, albeit it is considered to be a feat hardly accomplishable without British aid. Moreover, due to the already numerous offspring off Juddha Shamsher, the succession issue continues to grow as the number of dissatisfied Rana dynasty members grows. Attempting to call for British aid, the Nepali government draws upon the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship signed in 1923, asking for help in developing the nation. * Austria: The coup attempt by the fascist party is met with heavy resistance from the Austrian Schutzbund, which is representing both the Austrian Communist Party, and the Austrian Socialist-Democratic Party. After long fighting in the early months of 1934, the Communist Schutzbund proves successful, especially after the fascists losing their German support. The country's name is changed to the Volksrepublik Österreich, or the People's Republic of Austria. The army is renamed the Volksarmee, and conscripting begins for it to defend against the Germans in the north. An alliance is asked of the USSR. * In the United States, the Dust Bowl continues to plague the Great Plains. FDR signs the Securities Exchange Act into law, creating the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He also continues to enact other New Deal laws. The US continues to focus mostly on the economy but there is some military buildup, especially in the navy. **Venezuela Diplomacy to the USA: We will sell our oil to the USA for 90% going market prices over the next 10 years if we are sold two M2_light_tanks, 2Felixstowe_F5L civil aricraft and two Ford_3-Ton_M1918 tanks, one Curtiss T-32 Condor II light bomber, 30 1917 Fordson Model F tractors , along with the licence to make five more if needed. *Guatemala, following the socialist victory last year, begins to undergo major reforms. The nationalized land is distributed to peasants, to great excitement. With more money going to individual farmers, the Depression begins to lighten. A second coup attempt by right-wing elements of the Army is beaten off by Mayan paramilitaries, convincing the government of the necessity of reforming the army. Officers are replaced with Mayans and socialists loyal to the new regime, along with hired foreigners, including White Russians and Republican Spanish. The military begins to retrain, but remains hampered by its lack of arms. The government mobilizes prisoners to improve the country's infrastructure, building new roads and improving harbours. Guatemala requests to buy arms from any nation willing to sell. *United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 33 years. The Prime Minister is Ramsay MacDonald. He is the first Labour Party Prime Minister in British history. The United Kingdom and her colonies are reeling from the Great Depression.The economy is in free-fall with no signs of stopping. The nation, which is still war weary from the Great War, warns against the regime in Germany, stating that it is a sure-fire way that will only lead to the Treaty of Versailles being repealed and German aggression returning. This speech is well-received in some audiences, but others dismiss it. With the rapidly faltering economy, support for the Liberal Party increases. Frontrunner Sir Herbert Samuel leads the Liberal Party as of 1933. He begins working with the colonies to gather support for the Liberal Party. Liberal Party sentiment grows in Scotland. As of the end of this year, Sir Herbert Samuel seems to have garnered much support for his run as Prime Minister in the upcoming General Elections. In the meantime, Ramsay MacDonald's health is faltering, leading to ineffective rule. In October, Newfoundland returns to Crown Colony status after acute economic crisis. Experimental radar technology is tested along the English Channel. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom. *Denmark: In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. '''Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. '''In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of facism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. **Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany. **Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland. China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jianxi Soviet continues with much military success by the Nationalists and the Fujian People's Government is crushed. As a result of these two successes and the arrival of German volunteers, Nationalist morale is very high. Chiang Kai-shek uses this time of high morale to improve the economy and infrastructure of China, implementing much needed agricultural reforms and infrastructure in the nation (railroads, factories, schools, and hospitals.) Meanwhile, Chiang Kai-shek launches a campaign to make remove corruption out of the KMT and make it more efficient in governing China. Politically the Nationalists are drifting away from the Soviets and drifting toward the Nazis. The main reason is because of the Soviet invasion of Xinjiang, where the Soviets regarded the Nationalist Ma Generals as Warlords which resulted in the Nationalists being offended and relations between the Nationalists and the Soviets further polarized. The German Volunteer offer also shifts the Nationalists supporting the Germans. The Chinese Communists, however, are happy that the Nationalists were invaded as they regard them as warlords and gives them some fighting strength. The Chinese Communists, however, are outnumbered and out supplied and on the verge of collapse, thus the Chinese Communist '''request supplies and weapons the USSR. '''Meanwhile, the Warlords still fight to maintain control of what they still have. (I apologize for not posting this earlier, a lot of things came up that prevented me from posting this earlier.) == 1934.5== Afghanistan and the Soviet Union join the League of Nations. Political parties are banned in Bulgaria.  A fire on an ocean liner off the New Jersey coast kills 134 people.  '''A typhoon in Japan kills 3,036 people. Later in the year, a tornado kills 1660 and damages rice harvests. A gas explosion in northern Wales kills 266 people.  Wheat harvest in the United Kingdom reaches an all time low as the nation struggles to right its economy, which remains in tatters. A famine strikes in the latter parts of the year.  *Second Spanish Republic:''' After a long awaited, scheduled election, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora comes to power after a close vote. After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy and military balance." Desperate for investors in the mining industry, Spain reaches out to the Soviet Union to invest and fund Spanish mining corporations to help turn around the Spanish Economy. [Mil/Econ Turn] *Guatemala: requests a trade deal with Spain, and also wishes to purchase artillery and small rms. *Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk maintained his position as the the 1st President of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. 'The Turkish President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ''upon Germany his return from Germany directs the Foreign Minister of Turkey to visit Germany and discuss the Communist threat.  *Thailand:''' Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist Temples are also built. *Venezuela: We still struggle under the Great Depression. Infrastructure is improved, with some new roadways being built. We continue with the water and road improvements. A literacy campaign starts in Mérida and Coro. A few rubber plantations are planted. We still nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations, compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used. **Venezuela Dip' to USA: Are you intrested? We will sell our oil to the USA for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold two M2_light_tanks and two Ford_3-Ton_M1918 tanks, one Curtiss T-32 Condor II light bomber, ywo Felixstowe_F5L civil aircraft, 30 1917 Fordson Model F tractors, along with the licence to make five more tractors if needed. **Venezuela Dip' to Spain: We are fellow Hispanics! We will sell our oil to the Spain for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold two AME_VI Reconnaissance aircraft, five Loring_R-III Reconnaissance/light attack aircraft and 30 farm tractors, along with the licence to make 25 more tractors if needed. **Spanish Dip: We agree and stuff. **German Dip: Germany requests a trade agreement trading oil for .' **Venezeuela: We will think about it.' ** Venezuela Dip' to Germany:   We take up the offer! We will sell our oil to you for only 90% of the going market prices for 15 years if we are sold 25 Gewehr 98 rifles, two Panzer_I tanks, two Dornier Do 10 light fighters, five Dornier Komet pasinger plains, along with the licence to make five more Dornier Komets if needed. **Ummm venezluela you do realize I'm still restricted in sales right? I can't sell those things because officially I don't have them, I can sell you the rifles, though. **OK, sorry for the oversight. **Venezuela Dip' to Germany: We are not interested. **Brazil: Requests that Venezuela allow for eventual development of the oil fields into joint Brazilian/Venezuelan corporations in order to increase production and profitability. We also look to start the formation of an economic bloc between Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil. **Venezuela Dip' to Brazil: We are intresed in taking this further, but will it include my trade partner Guatemala? **Brazil Dip: It's a distinct possibility but With President Vargas intent on greater South american Political, Military, and Economic development Guatemala may have to be regulated into a client status in the agreement rather than a fully regarded member. This will still allow for multiple protections provided by the future organization. **Venezuela Dip' to Brazil: OK. **Argentinian Diplomacy: We agree to trade these weapons and licenses for oil. We request to purchase oil for $1 per barrel. **Venezuela Dip' to Argentina: OK. *'Saudi Arabia:''' 'The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. 'The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. '''With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. '''Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. '''We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. '''The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. '''Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. '''All of the military expansion programs lead the nation to debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. *Guatemala''' continues to redistribute land and reconstruct its infrastructure. new reforms, including official bilingualism, improved welfare, better worker protection laws, and new farming practices, are put in place. Tensions rise with Honduras over territorial and ideological disputes. Seeking to defend itself, the military modernizes, with new training and rearmament being put in place. Reserves are trained and limited conscription put in place, at least theoretically, although funding issues mean this is sporadic in reality. Guatemala asks to buy arms from any nation willing to sell. *Guatemala requests a trade deal with Japan. It also requests to buy small arms and machine guns from Sweden, and asks to buy five Polikarpov I-5 fighters from the Soviet Union. **Venezuela Dip' to Guatemala: We will sell 25 old Colt M1873 revolvers we got from the USA years ago to Guatemala. **Guatemala; Gratefully accepts the Venezuelan offer. **Swedish Diplomacy: We accept the request, the majority of the population seeing Sweden as a neutral nation. *Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude. *Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to prosper under the leadership of the great Comrade Stalin, although the central government begins to become conflicted over problems forming in various fields. The slow industrialization continues to march at a slow pace, but some are unsatisfied with the slow progress. In the military, discontent rises from the poor operation of the war in Xinjiang. While relatively successful for Soviet forces, the high cost in manpower and armored vehicles signifies significant problems that may not be tenable in future conflicts. As such, several begin to rally in secret behind Mikhail Tukhachevsky who is known for his rivalry with Stalin. While nothing comes of it yet, the situation could further ignite and cause problems for the central government and the people. In international affairs, the Soviet Union begins to take a tentative step forward by joining the League of Nations and also beginning to explore the idea of exporting Communism to other nations. '''Austria, as the fourth nation in Europe to accept and hold Communism, is lauded in Soviet propoganda and the Soviet Union begins exporting weapons and supplies to the Austrians. Similar exports, including planes, are sent the Guatemalan Mayans who are similarly praised for their efforts. The CCP is aided as well.  **Mongolia:''' Persecution of monks and other Buddhist follows continues at a steady pace. **Tuva: Persecution continues as normal. Not much happens here, since it is a sparesly populated country. The people are perfectly happy due to the gifts of Communism, however, and nothing could possibly be improved. /s **East Turkestan People's Republic: A provisional government is established to rule over the newly liberated area. Due to the population of Kazakhs and Uyghurs, the area is named the East Turkestan People's Republic for the time being. (This is assuming UT is ok with this, if not, it may be removed.) ** (UT is both okay and not okay with this, as UT is both the Nationalists and the Communists. The Communists are fine with it, the Nationalists are not. Well the Nationalists are happy that there was a cease fire and the invasion ended, but not happy that the land was taken away without a formal treaty and are mad that you called them Warlords as they had the Ma General's in the area. The (other) Xinjang warlords of northern Xinjiang (now East Turkestan People's Republic are angry, however, as you took their land. But it meta UT okay with this? Yes. Only I am not UT, I am KK. Or am I? ) ** Austrian Dip: We request to buy 100 T-28, 250 T-26, 400 T-27 tankettes, and 500 BA-3/6 armoured cars. We also request to buy 200 I-16 'Ishak' fighters. We also request the blueprints of the tanks so we may produce them in Austria. ** Soviet Diplomacy: Granted, over time. For logistics reasons, not all of this can be sent at the present time.  * German Reich: Paul von Hindenburg passes away much to the dismay of the reich. His successor as Regent-Marschall is Werner von Blomberg while Oskar von Hindenburg remains the Reichkanzler. The regime formally allows individual politicians and poltical parties friendly to the right wing cause to reform forming a puppet Reichstag known as the Vater Koalition (fatherland coalition). The Vater Koalition continues to pass laws developed by the military, aiding in the remilitarization of Germnay's industrial complex, and expanding the reserves by enlisting new "recruits and volunteers" along with a slow process of intergrating the various paramilitary organizations into the military institution. Outraged at the rise of a Communist goverment in Austria Berlin demands that the Communists step down and return power to the Austro-facists. Using the rise of a Communist goverment in Austria as propaganda, the government expands its efforts to raise awareness of the RED DANGER to the Reich. Germany once more requests that France and Britain let Germany remilitarize to protect itself from the Communist threat. All anti-semite propaganda comes to an effective end as anti-Communism and anti-slavism starts to take over the propaganda machine. Efforts to restore German social morality begin as a new education system is instituted based on the old empire traditions and mentality with a focus on martial fitness, national pride, awareness, and the so called Prussian morales. Efforts to fund the anti-Communists in Austria begin, with arms and paramilitary ready to aid the counter revolution should it arise. Cultural development continues as conservative values start to grow in importance again, anda neo-classical and neo-romanticist movement develop. The German scientific community continues to florish under the new regime which funds its development. Engineerinig, aeronautics, and physics recieve a majority of government funding. A prototype panzer and fighter plane are developed in secret and put forward for testing in eastern Prussia. Industrial growth and stabalization of the economy continues thanks to the new policies taking by the government, unemployment starts falling for the first time since the 1929 crash. '''To further Germany's diplomatic goals, Berlin asks to rejoin the League of Nations, and requests that Britain, France, and Poland attend talks to talk about revisions to the treaty of Versailles on the bases of mutual understanding and making amends in the name of peace and order in Europe. The Reich welcomes all nations who oppose Communism to send delagates to Berlin to help develop counter-measures against the spread of Communism.  **Greek Diplomacy:''' The Greek ambassador in Berlin informs Germany that our country would like to join an anti-Communist pact. **French Dip: We agree to meet with the German delegates. ** Holy See: We wish to meet with the German leaders to discuss the rise of Communism in austria and how Europe can work together to end it. **Turkish - German Diplomacy: The Republic of Turkey requests the German Reich for the purchasal of 150,000 rifles, along with the request; a letter is sent. "It is considered our utmost need to protect our nation from any threat, and verily; it has come to our notice that the Soviet Union exists as a threat to the interests of the German Reich and it would would a total strategic failure for the Germans for if the Soviet Union was to ever gain a gateway into the Middle East through Turkey. It is not hidden from us that the German Reich will eventually have to depend upon Turkey to act as a deterrent to the Soviet expansion and will eventually have to look our way. Indeed, the Turks cannot take a stand against Communism unless we are offered support by the German Reich and this support can surely be extended in the form of military aid. We look forward to the reply from the government of Oskar von Hindenburg". **German Dip:'' Germany agrees. ** Yugoslavian Dip: We can send spies and assassins to help kill Communist people if you need help. * Iran: Effort to spread Western Ideas into our country continue but Communism is banned in our country, We ask Germany for support in the modernization of our country. A groups of expert return from Europe and take an active role along secular Iraqi to help modernize our institution. We require a trade agreement with Saudi Arabia to improve the relation between our two nation. * Argentina: We begin to use the design of the T-26 light tank and adapt it. The military begins to design its own machine gun based off the DP medium machine gun. They also begin to work on modernizing the tank by mlaking a more powerful main gun. They also begin to plan a tank production factory. The economy continues to slowly improve, although the government's aid packages and work crews continue to operate. ** Venezuela Dip' to Argentina: We make a offer! We will sell our oil to you for only 90% of the going market prices for 25 years, if we are sold 25 Chiesanuova Bolt Action Rifles and ten Lehnar Submachine Gun, along with the licence to make 25 more of each if needed. ** Brazilian Dip: We offer an opportunity to continue growing closer relations wise in order to facilitate the future creation of a larger economic and possibly military bloc between Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela. ** Argentinian Diplomacy: We agree to both Brazil and Venezuela's request. *Greece: The military continues developing, with currently around 300,000 men in the armed services (while a new 15,000 recruits have begun training). The navy has 34 ships and the air force has 78 aircraft (as in OTL). Factories are being prepared to construct more guns, bullets, and aircraft as part of the reformation of the Hellenic Armed Forces. The troops are being trained and given more ammunition. The general staff plans on organizing military drills next year to make sure it is combat capable. Additional border troop formations continue withdrawing from the Bulgarian border now that everything there is stabilized, leaving the usual number of border guards. Meanwhile, the republican government is leaning heavily toward reinstating George II as the King of Greece (will happen in 1935, as in OTL). '''Greece would like to established diplomatic relations with the new regime in Bulgaria. [Mod response]. *Swiss''' scientific and technological research projects are vastly expanded, especially in the fields of energy and oil exploration. Private enterprises invest a lot in these fields, as well as in lighting devices and as ever, fine watches. The Saudi-Helvetian Petroleum Company is formally set up to bigin work in Saudi Arabia. In regards to the international sphere, the government expresses its concern at German remilitarization and the radical Communist turn of events in Austria, but does wish to maintain peaceful, cordial relations with both nations. To better secure its national integrity, the government continues the expansion and fortification of the Swiss redoubt, including the addition of newly acquired antiaircraft guns and other anti-tank and wheeled vehicle defenses. The first women formally join the military, though for the moment only in reservist and home defense units. All citizens having completed military service not active in the military will be required to undertake yearly "refresher" training, including basic first aid. Current soldiers undergo strict training, inspired by the Swiss Reisläufer and old Prussian military. A number of the best trained soldiers are formed into crack Alpine units. Laws passed in most cantons now require houses to have bomb shelters, to complement public ones and all citizens are issued with gas masks and taught how to use them. In order to be prepared for the worst, large cities begin air-raid drills, which are seen as unnecessary by many but nonetheless take place rather effectively. Politically the leftist government is still widely supported due to their efforts to the economy, though some begin to feel already that spending should be cut back, and in some areas conservatives begin to see support rise. There is also discussion to potentially implement the post of a formal head of state. Switzerland would like to enquire with the British about any opportunity to assist in potential oil exploration in Kuwait, which could benefit from the Swiss' involvemnt in Saudi Arabia. *Brazil: Vargas unable to gain support for further reforms has managed to stave off some political repurcussion due to the virtue of him agreeing to not pass any more reforms in the next few years. Vargas however having managed to make a few relatively good decisions for his nations industrial base begins expanding industrial capability in the southern areas of Brazil with the opening of a new Automotive factory. Surprisingly enough its owned by a local buisinessman that managed to salvage enough money to buy equipment from American automotive factories that were shut down or shutting down. Vargas himself goes on a personal visit to the Brazilian interior and sees much of his work in politics being applied to the northern and interior sectors of Brazil. The Brazilian government has used its own coroporations and hired workers clearing key resources and settlement territory into the Brazilian interior Guarded by the military. The first settlements and resource sites have been set up just up the amazon river. The Success of this program surprises vargas but with the ability to gain land, a prosperous job, and lifelong prosperity draws thousands of Brazilians from the overcrowded coasts. Vargas in general promotes many of the people living in the Favelas to travel to these new developing towns hoping to expand these into major cities. So far only a few cities have more than a few thousand people but population density continues to expand. Brazil's military continues many of its projects managing to guard official numbers of funding being diverted through various threats and deals with Vargas himself. The Military has managed to begin the development of a fast moving attack doctrine based off the Acquired American tanks and the Brazilian forces in general have made good progress. The Brazilian army sees the need to expand its own domestic production capability and begins to draw up designs for its own tanks with prototypes to be presented within the next six months. Some foreign advisors from Germany are brought in to consult as a privately paid venture. The Brazilian air force is also essentially non-existent and key investments into Aeronautics begins to pay off with the acquisition of Air craft engines from various sources providing much needed insight into the governments military expansion. The Navy remains just as it was currently with the Two battleships still undergoing the final stages of their refit even acquiring new modern Main batteries and fire control systems as well as training in new naval doctrines. The Brazilian Admiralty remains skeptical on how to pass naval expansion to Vargas or his upper tier advisors but by the new fiscal year they notice a noticeable increase in the budget. This all does have a somewhat profound impact on Brazils economy as while the economy is starting to recover the mass spending has put many into a worried state that this will just cause another crash even worse than before. '''Brazil begins to finalize its major influences over Paraguay and Uruguay with scheduled meetings to discuss trade deals and joining a trade sphere within the next few years. Offers are sent to repair bad relations present from previous issues. '''Brazil asks the italians for Stategic naval advisors as well as the expansion of the industry base to support a domestically built navy. Brazil also asks to order one of the Italians massive modern battleships. With the aggreement sealed with the Italians the Brazilian government immediately hires out multiple advisors from the Italian navy in order to modernize and begin the transformation of Brazil's Navy. ** Is it plausible for Brazil to vassalize something this quickly that is so culturally different (especially Uruguay)? **'''Actually Uruguay has historically been a Brazilian client state at least until recent history, and Uruguay in the north has a very unique culture that is a mix of Portuguese and Spanish culture, this same culture can be found in southern Brazil.  **They are still both extremely low population states that combined still leave me with like 27x their population size. If Brazil ever really wanted to these nations could be wiped off the map (and at one point Paraguay pretty much was.) **Just don't see Uruguay under its current gov. going to that status with Brazil. **German Dip:''' The Reich requests a trade agreement with Brazil. **Brazilian Dip: We Agree. **Italy Dip: We agree, we should have some material over in a year or two. **Argentinian Dip: We offer Brazil a mutual defense pact, technology trade agreement, and possibly form a South American Defense organization. **Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal and oil. We offer you our oil and woulld like to buy 15 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.97. Caproni Ca.97 civil utility aircraft] as well. *France: France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up it's military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain it's current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. '''We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic offers to meet (Military turn) * Vatican City:''' Pius backs the former Fascist regime in Austria and congratulates Germany on ending its anti-Semitic propaganda. Pius wishes to meet with leaders of Europe over the next year to discuss the rise of Communism and Pius addresses this in his Christmas Day speech and radio broadcast. The pope visits countries around Italy and builds relations with Catholic leaders. (Dip turn). * Hungary: Hungary's Government stops lowering taxes. Hungary continues to invest in their military, because of its geographical location. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 700,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. Hungary also continues developing their infrastructure, especially in major cities. The economy and infrastructure buildup are the main goals for the upcoming year. (Military and Infrastructure turn) * New Zealand: With the next general election being in 1935, it is highly expected that George Forbes will lose his post as Prime Minister, with either Bill Parry or Harry Rushworth winning. The Moderate Party does very well, although it is not large enough to be in the Parliament. As the fascist regimes in Austria and Germany have now collapsed, we offer relations to them. Trade of sheeps with Australia continues, and we also continue to trade with other countries. '''We offer help to the UK as a dangerous famine has striken them. We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's  in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 Million.(Military and Infrastructure turn) * Australia:''' We continue adding New Zealand in trading it's sheep related products, and begin building up our own military. We recruit over 100,000 men for the standing army, and begin training them in the best possible way. * Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60.000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF begins gaining ground, and it is on the way to becoming a major political party. The next elections are in 1937, unless the government breaks earlier. '''We offer an alliance to the German Reich.  **Dutch Guiana:''' We improve military and economy. **Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy **Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. '''We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies.  * Belgium:''' Brussels military are expecting normal plan. But their goal is for the lessons to learn. Improvement are economy and military. Expects a good military and navy, the weapons not recruited yet on these troops. The standing troops is 45,000. * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. We ask to join the League of Nations. Riots start in some place to oppose the ruling of the PM and the King. Some people want to make the nation democratic like the USA and establish a presidency with one ruler. When word goes out of the riots throught the nation the PM things about assassinating the King to set up a democratic nation. The PM starts to train his own special troops. A border control team is set up mostly on the Austrian and Albanian borders. * Canada: Canada works on establishing the oil industry, and growing the economy in general. We also build up our military, especially in the east, and we ask to purchase aircraft and submarines, and we could trade oil for them. We build some submarines and station them near the maritime provinces and the St. Lawrence River. We are now in good shape after the depression, as our eceonomy has grown for a year and a half straight. '''We ask again for Britain to grant our complete independence, and if they grant it, we ask for other countries to recognize us as a country.  ** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion * Canada, while very much caring, was independent as of 1931 and still had major 'exclusive ties to Britain which linked their economies and militaries. Also calm down with your industry you are not a major war power in terms of naval and aircraft power -Feud ** ​Wheat and cattle farming are a good source of early income. Begin to expand farming on the Prairies of Canada since the British need your food exports. - River Nile * Canada became independent in 1931, Feud is correct. ~ Upvote * Canada more or less gave less of a crap about their foreign relations to some major degree, they still let the British decide their foreign policy for a good part of it mostly due to the longstanding relation. This continued well into the 50's -Feud * In the United States''', nothing happens in particular. FDR continues to pass New Deal laws. The US economy begins to repair and there is some mild buildup of the navy, more specifically the Pacific fleet. Most things continue as they were last year and the military occupation of Haiti continues. * Japan: Military and Infrastructure improves. Militarization of the government causes innovation in technology. This also shows in the ever increasing ultranationalism of the public and thus larger numbers of new recruits. Among the ideas flooding the streets is Pan-Asianism and anti colonialism. Resentment against Britain and France grows. **Manchukuo: Infrastructure and military improves. **Korea: Infrastructure and Military improves. **West Paupa: infrastructure and Military improves. *British Raj: India continues building its economy and military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. Meanwhile, in Pune in India, a Indian writer begins writing on his first book called - Meet the Sweetest Folk. *'''Seriously Eric? That stuff again? ''' *Monaco: The nation of Monaco again asks for a non-aggression pact with the nation of France and the nation of Italy, to ensure our nation's immediate security from foreign invasion. Football becomes increasingly popular in our nation, with the local team, AS Monaco FC, attracting large crowds. Plans are made for a large football stadium in Monaco, which will be able to hold over 18,000 people. The government puts a big interest in attracting tourism from neighboring nations into our borders. The popular Monte Carlo Casino is expanded to grow the gambling industry. Another popular attraction is the Monaco Grand Prix, which becomes one of Europe's most prestigious races. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra is supported by the government in order to promote the arts in our nation. The military of Monaco, used primarily for internal policing, is expanded with the help of France, to create a local task force in case of attack. With fascism seemingly on the rise in nearby nations, the government passes a law allowing for military training. A few thousand people are listed for training in the next few years, with 300 men being called into active service, and 600 placed in reserve. Arms are purchased from France, most notably a stockpile of MAS 1873 revolvers, Lebel Model 1886 rifles, Modèle 1892 revolvers, MAS-36 rifles, MAS-49 rifles. Recent meetings with the Captain Regents of San Marino and the Prince of Liechtenstein result in a conference this year at Oslo, which finalize the creation of an alliance and economic union, known as the Union of Nonaligned Monetary States. San Marino, Monaco, the Vatican, and Liechtenstein are declared the organization’s founding members, while Luxembourg and Andorra are sent formal invitations to join. Similarly the Vatican’s Bernardino Nogara is invited to serve as the organization’s first financial head. **Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal. We offer you our oil and would like to buy 15 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.97. Caproni Ca.97 civil utility aircraft] * Austria: The national anthem is changed to Edelweiss Arbeiter von Wien (Workers from Vienna). The new tanks and planes start being received. We create the Volkspanzerkorps and the Volksluftwaffe. We continue to improve the military. An alliance offer is sent to the USSR. *'''Sorry, can't choose Edelweiss as your national anthem. That's a Rogers and Hammerstein song from 1959 and not a folk song. *Denmark:''' In Denmark, Christian X rules as King, with Thorvauld Stauning as his Prime Minister. The economy improves only slightly, as the Great Depressions continues to strangle the country. The Rigsdag, the parliament of Denmark, is puzzled by yet another coup in Germany, but is glad that Hitler is out of power. The parliament officially recognizes Germany as a democracy, but one under an unacceptable military rule. Relations are once more extended to Britain and France, as well as Austria. In cultural news, many socialist/Communist groups in Denmark are invigorated over the fall of Fascism in Germany and Austria, with many calling on Stauning to institute a much greater socialist doctrine in Denmark. **Iceland: In Iceland, Kristjan X rules as King, with Asgeir Asgeirsson as his Prime Minister. The economy in Iceland performs much better than in mainland Denmark, and many people find jobs in the fishing and lumber industries. The Althing of Iceland is similarly worried about Nazi Germany. **Greenland: Greenland remains a personal territory of Denmark and has very little autonomy of its own. Godthab is the largest town and is the de facto capital of Greenland. '''China: The Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Jiangxi Soviet is completed and the Jiangxi Soviet is eliminated. This is a glorious victory for the KMT and a bitter defeat for the CCP. The defeat is so bitter for the CCP that they are forced to retreat, to go on the Long March and the KMT pursue to the Communists. It is seen as the end of the Communists, but aid from the Soviet Union gives the Communists a glimmer of hope. Meanwhile, the victory gives an extreme boost of morale to the Nationalists. With the Nationalist victory, Chiang Kai-Shek gives a speech “Nationalists, today we have achieved a great victory against the Communists with the elimination of Jiangxi Soviet and now they are retreating on their Long March, today we are victorious. But that battle is not over, for our enemy is on the retreat, and they must be eliminated. Another enemy, however must also be eliminated. This enemy is not an external one but an internal one, this enemy is corruption and inefficiency. In order for us to be successful, we must cleanse and purge corruption and inefficiency out of us. That is the only way for us to have an effective military, a stabilized economy, and a strong industry. In order to gain these things, we must follow the military and industrial model of Germany, thus we must reorganize the military according to the German Model as well as modernize our industry according to the German Model, which is Nationalising the industries and creating incentives for the people to work on the industry. On the topic of the people, we must also appeal to the people more by directly helping them, for this will be the key to our success, and to our ultimate victory.” This announcement set the course for military, industrial, economic, political, and social reform and a general National campaign to improve Nationalist China. The Communists are also pursued. Military and Infra turn.  ==1935.0== Persia is renamed as Iran. The dust bowl affects much of the American mid-west.  An earthquake strikes (Balochistan earthquake) Pakistan, killing 40,000. Mrw theres no such thing as Pakistan in 1935. We could just say OTL Pakistan. Actually the name Pakistan did already exist, albeit as Pakstan. So technically it's correct. Yes, you're correct in stating that the name Pakistan existed but not a single person in India ever referred to the areas that now form Pakistan as 'Pakistan' because the All India Muslim League never adopted the demand for the creation of a Muslim-majority state until 1940.  *Turkey:' Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'' maintained his position as the the first president of the Republic of Turkey. Known to be a keen supporter of his very own ideology, Kemalism; he implemented laws in order to bring forth sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms which would separate Turkey from Ottoman tradition and embrace Westernized way of living. However, Mustafa surely did not believe that a Westernized Turkey was bound to reach success for economic reforms too had to be implemented. This involved the construction of a cotton print factory and a Turkish aircraft factory at Istanbul as well as many factories through the nation. Many state-owned factories for agriculture and textile industries too were handed over to private owners and Mustafa initiated the start of model farms which were setup in large number throughout the state, and in turn privatized whilst the state itself invested its budget on construction of a railroad system to link the entire state of Turkey. The Central Bank of Turkey was established primarily to look over the exchange rate, however; government funds and Turkish reserves. However, the government was particular in nationalizing all Turkey tobacco farms in order to set about a complete monopoly over its export. Generally, Mustafa promoted literacy and education in Turkey, and had in total; invested 3% of the GDP for education. Moreover, being a Turkish Nationalist; he encouraged education in Turkish and was supportive of the spread of Turkish culture. But all the while, he made sure to keep maintain law and order in Turkey by initiating the establish of the Federal Espionage and Security Force [FESF] which basically acted as an authoritarian force to look over crime. The FESF was also kept as a secretive group to exist for counter-intelligence missions. The Turkish military itself stood at 250,000 men, although it was poorly equipped and utilised World War I era weapons. Turkey also served to export the large number of minerals, being abundant in chromite, boron, iron ore, copper. '''The purchasal of 150,000 rifles from the German Reich is considered a great moment in the history of the Turkish Armed Forces. However, keeping in mind the desire to upgrade the navy and the air force; the Zafer Project is initiated to develop the Turkish military although it is well known that this shall be a long project. Meanwhile, fortifications and trenches are dug in Eastern Anatolia near the border with the USSR due to the territorial claims that Armenia SFSR held over Turkey and a major port is to be constructed at Erdimir which would serve to establish greater Turkish control on the Black Sea. [Mil/Eco Turn] *Thailand:''' Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist Temples are also built. *Venezuela: We still struggle under the Great Depression Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. We continue with the water and road improvements. A literacy campaign continues in Mérida and Coro. A few rubber and sugar plantations are planted. We end nationalising various privately owned rubber plantations since it is now compleated, compensating the various minor firms, as lowered prices are now used. The oil industry grows due to Spain, Brazil's and Argentina's usage of it. As it grows we we have a labour shortage request Latin people that have no hpe at home come to our nation as we need ~20,000 skilled and semi-skilled workers over the next 10 years- Spain and Italy are aproced for immigrants as in reality [] and []. **Venezuela Dip' to Italy: We offer you a trade deal.

The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the Depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With Industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The Government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. The settlement however expands rather modestly and much more than expected as the favelas begin to file out for more of these inland settling opportunities. The Brazilian navy proudly re-presents the modernized Battleships to the admiralty who are extremely impressed by the modernization as well as the Two battleships being able to perform in top shape. These ships are immediately re-deployed with the best crews and are sent on a maiden voyage across brazils southern coasts. The Brazilian navy with advisement from its Italian hired counterparts finishes blueprints for multiple designs of new ships particular cruisers, destroyers and frigates as well as multiple auxiliary models. The first three destroyers to be domestically produced are put into shipbuilding in Rio De Janeiro and will be finished in about a years time. The next year the First frigate, and first Cruiser will be put into production as well to give testing designs for all of the necessary classes of ships. The Brazilian military begins to look into the usefulness of aircraft carriers. The Brazilian navy agrees to a personelle expansion to nearly 100,000 to fill opening roles as well as giving the training to another 30,000 marines all to be ready in the next year. The Brazilian army continues to research and develop on new tanks branching out into light, medium, and heavy designs. Private aviation however makes inroads into aircraft development but as of yet have not gotten purchases from the government. The Brazilian roadway system expands out of the coast managing to push into the southern areas and interior. The Influence into Uruguay continues as progress into the major economic network in south america continues. The Workforce of Brazil continues to develop further with more and more beginning to be deployed within industry jobs speeding up economic recovery. Brazil sends observers to watch the construction of its Battleship in Italy. Brazilian population hits 37.5 million with a sharp increase in immiration from Europe * Yugoslavia: We continue build up our military and navy. Farming is our biggest industry. We continue to improve the infrastructure of the nation. Roads and railway are continuing to be built around the nation. Factories continue to build weapons and battleships for the navy and military. We start to build up our cities into metropolis. Birth rates are starting to increase. Riots continue to happen. The PM continues to train more troops for his team. *Japan: Pan-Asianism and Militarism as well as long Time rivalry and need for resources causes support for an invasion of China, so War is declared. Economy and infrastructure are improved. **Manchukuo: Declares war. Economy and infrastructure are improved. **Korea: War is declared. Economy and infrastructure are improved. **West Paupa: Economy and infrastructure are improved. *Iran: We hire European advisor to help improve our nation and request a trade agreement from 'Saudi Arabia. 'Oil production increase slowly and effort to modernize the country into a Western like society continue. Western education continue trought Iran with some resistence but the government point that the Persian had always be tolerant toward other culture. Infracturcture continue to be develop. *Greece: George II returns to the throne of Greece, dissolving the Second Hellenic Republic and reestablishing the Kingdom of Greece. Ioannis Metaxas becomes the Prime Minister of Greece (as in OTL). He is a nationalist and a militarist, and begins aggressively expanding the Greek military. Propaganda about Greek history and famous battles of eras long past causes a surge in recruitment, raising military count to 335,000 men over several months. The government also orders the production of more tanks and other vehicles for the army, more planes for the air force, and considers buying more ships from other governments for the navy. The training of new troops continues, with them being issued new weapons. The military begins combat drills to test its effectiveness, taking part in exercises around the country. Metaxas also makes plans to begin construct a series of fortifications and trenches on the northern border, called the Metaxas Line (as in OTL). The railways in the country are nearly finished being upgraded and construction of new lines will begin soon. **Iranian Dip: Offers a trade agreement to Greece. **Greek Diplomacy: We accept the agreement. *Guatemala Continues to reform. The post of President is abolished, replaced with a Central Executive Committee headed by the General Secretary of the new People's Democratic Party. The flag is also intended to be modified to reflect Guatemala's new identity. The economy is brought under greater government control, and worker rights, particularly those of subsistence farmers, are vastly expanded. Fertilizer subsidies are offered, increasing productivity. The new General Secretary, Tecun Arguenta, encourages the spread of the news of these reforms into Honduras and El Salvador. In Honduras particularly, the farmers are stirred up, armed and organized into People's Committees by Guatemalan agents. Tensions continue to rise, and the military expands swiftly Soviet equipment is gratefully accepted, and the military rearms with that and Swedish weapons. Corvee labour is mobilized to begin building a cross-country railroad at no cost to the government. This is more of a propaganda exercise than anything else, however. Guatemala '''asks for an alliance with El Salvador, citing their mutual enemy in Honduras. Mod Response *British Raj:''' India continuees improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. In the last Secretary of States news in India, Sir Samuel Hoare left office and is replaced by The Marquess of Zetland. Both them are Conservative and are English lived in England, but its Indian as well. Meanwhile, an Indian writer called Ravi Phunkar completes the book Meet the Sweetest Folk and releases it. *'''I see someone likes IM.  *Australia:''' Military buildup continues, with the development of new rifles, tanks, and aircraft for the miltary starting. We aid New Zealand in trading their sheep based products with the rest of the world. *New Zealand: Bill Parry becomes Prime Minister after the General elections, between a close race with Harold Rushworth and George Forbes. We offer sheep trade to Nationalist China, British Raj and Guatemala. We continue to support Nationalist China, and send a few volounteers to fight the Communists. Several tanks and new rifles are built, most are from imports. Prime Minister Bill Parry orders the building of reservations for the Maori, and asks the people to stop discriminating them.The United Party proposes to merge with the Reform Party to form a larger party called the National Party, however, due to the weak state of the United Party, the Reform Party refuses, weakening the United Party even more. '''We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's  in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 million. *German Reich:''' With France agreeing to talks Germany proposes a new treaty stipulating a return of the Saarland to Germany and Germany ending all efforts to retake Alsace-Lorraine. Germany also demands that France allow them to remilitarize the Rhineland as the land is German soil, and no country should be forbidden from exercising full soviergnty over their own land. '''Berlin formally declares that it will begin full conscription again to meet the threat posed by the rise of Communism in Europe. With that said the Regime declares an end to the arms restrictions preparing for the construction of automatic weapons, panzers, and planes out in the open. With the German Industry nearly remilitarized production begins at a moderate pace. The paramilitary groups and volunteer groups are absorbed into the Reichswehr bring the German active armed forces up to 500,000, with plenty more troops being conscripted. The reserves stand at 300,000. The armed forces are renamed the Wermacht (combined armed forces). Naval expansion begins again particularly cruisers and u-boats. The idea to make battleships is shelved due to costs and a need to focus resources elsewhere. The first fighter  of th new official german air force is developed known as the Messerschmitt df 109, with full scale production to begin within a few months. The Panzer I is developed and testing of the new tank begins, several of these tanks are shipped to the volunteers aiding Chinese nationalists to test in actual combat scenarios. Armored vehicules are also put forward on the production line. Development of new military tactics begin based on previous experiences and new technology, a general idea on blitzkrieg is developed but ultimately the German high command fighrt over if the tactic will bring out direct victory in future conflicts due to its dependence on a quick war. '''Scientific research continues under the funding of the government. Education continues to be reformed by the government. Compulsory physical education is instituted  for all youths, along with the opening of free sports clubs. As the Military rapidly expands and industry is experiencing a massive revival due to increasing demands the German economy starts picking up and the Reichsmark grows in value. To further stabilize the growing economy and market value, the mark is pegged to the value of gold on the market but backed by industrial and agricultural assets. '''To improve Germany's still very present debt issues Germany approaches the U.S.A. and Switzerland to negotiate an aid program to help get out of debt, and offers to pay back all aid giving within 15 years at a 4% interest rate. To curtail the growing threat posed by Communism in Austria, weapons are sent to the anti-Communist opposition including the remnants of the Nazi party, and Freikorps members are sent into Austria to help raise militancy against the Communist dictatorship that rules over it. Pan-german sentiments start to pick up as many Germans want to see their Austrian brothers united within the same state and free from eastern pollution.  **​French Dip:''' We agree to the German treaty terms. *Sweden: Work on improving the economy and military begins. The army, navy and air force continue to get more recruits at a peacetime rate. We start a basic welfare program, nothing major. We also seek to improve relations with the Soviet Union. We start researching Arctic Warfare due to our range in latitude. **German Dip: Germany extends a hand of friendship to Sweden in an effort to improve relations and requests a trade agreement and mutual defence pact. *Hungary: Hungary heavily develops the Economy and Infrastructure. The army, navy, and air force currently stands at 700,000 men, many of them not Hungarian. We ask Germany for an alliance. (Economy and infrastructure turn) * Belgium: Some works held on improving economy and military. The radiation of this control does look quite good. Brussels Government says the walls would be important, but as for usuals for improving infrastructure ahead, he needs workers to establish them further. * Argentina: Work on a new tank design continues. The Navy begins to design a light aircraft carrier. The plan is to carry 30 fighter aircraft, two cargo aircraft, four scout aircraft, and one anti-submarine warfare aircraft. It will be armed with four 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, eight fifty caliber machine guns, and twelve dual thirty caliber machine guns. The Navy also plans a modern destroyer to replace the aging fleet. Shipyards launch the first light patrol boat to replace the old gunboats from 1875. They are armed with a single 100 mm cannon, one 50 caliber machine gun, and four 30 caliber machine guns The Navy decides to retire the two Libertad-class battleships, and sell them. Roadways are put under construction into the interior of the nation. Democratic reform continues. Infrastructure upgrades. The government shows concern for the situation in China, and hopes for a peaceful resolution. **Guatemala requests to buy part of the decommissioned fleet and also offers an advantageous trade deal. **Spain offers to purchase the two battleships for $90,000 a year to keep them there until 1940, after that the amount paid would be decided between the two nations. It would be kept there but have soldiers working down there as well, and won't be bought up until 1940, due to already in progress elimanation of much older ships. * Switzerland's work on the redoubt continues, with the installation of the first larger Swiss-made weapons. Cities are given large spotlights in order spot any potential nightime air-raids. The military begins general drills and training missions, going through several plans of action in case on invasion. The government contemplates conscription due to similar actions in neighboring countries and by midyear being to starts a basic mobilization. Swiss company Martini develops a sturdy rear-engined car which might just save the company as the military begins placing orders for staff car use. The government, being pressured by the opposition introduces visas for all entry to the country by foreigners, though they are inexpensive. The Swiss league begins bringing in top players from Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, helping to improve its level and quality. The Swiss show interest in joining the Union of Nonaligned Monetary States. *Netherlands: We improve military and economy. We offer trade agreements to Belgium, UK, Germany and France. The standing military has 60,000 troops. The current queen is Wilhelmina. She is 53 years old. Henri Winkelman is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A new political party is started, called NNF (Nederlands Nationaal Front (Dutch National Front)). It is right-winged. NNF gains even more support now. The NSB (Fascists) has declined to the point it practically doesnt exist, while the CPN (Communists) grows a little. The current Dutch government falls, meaning that in a few months, there will be elections to determine the new Prime-Minister. **Dutch Guiana: We improve military and economy. **Netherlands Antilles: We improve military and economy. **Dutch East Indies: We improve military and economy. '''We offer trade to Siam, British Raj and the British East Indies.  * Iceland: Starts to fight for Denmark give independence, we improve military and a good Communist party is gonna substitute the King Kristjan X. * Austria:''' We support the Icelandic War for Independence on the side of Iceland and their Communist party. To counter the Freikorps incursions, we create the Volksschutzstaffel, or the People's Protection Squadron. Their task is to counter fascist movements into Austria, as well as move into fascist territory and cause chaos there. Our leader, Hans Markert creates the Arms Act of 1935. This allows our factories to begin manufacturing arms, tanks, armored cars, tankettes, and planes. We only produce copies of the Soviet models for now, but we plan to create our own versions of tanks in the near future. This goes as well for the planes. For arms, we begin producing Steyr M1912 pistols, and Steyr M1895 Rifles. The army now numbers 500,000 men. Conscription continues. We improve the infrastructure. We ask for an alliance with the Soviet Union. * '''Dude, those are three world powers. Too many. ~ Upvote ** It doesn't really make much sense to ally with Britain and France if you're Communist.

After Niceto talked with the mining corporations, the talks went extremely bad, and the value of the companies continues to drop. To add insult to injury, miners start to strike for higher wages and more healthcare benefits. He says in his inaugural speech "La industria minera en ruinas, sólo un liderazgo fuerte puede traer renovar el gran poder que tenía." Which translates to "The Mining industry in in ruins, only strong leadership can bring renew the great power it had." "Niceto also states in his inguaral speech. España tiene el potencial para convertirse en una gran potencia en Europa, con el liderazgo correcto, economía y equilibrio militar." Which translates to "Spain has the potential to become a great power in Europe, with the right leadership, economy, and military balance." Desperate for investors in the mining industry, Spain reaches out to the Soviet Union to invest and fund Spanish mining corporations to help turn around the Spanish Economy. Meanwhile, civil unrest in Gallica, supposedly led by Francisco Franco, rises up. [Mil/Econ Turn] **​French Dip: With money freed up from giving freedoms to our colonies, we would like to invest into Spain's potential mining opportunities *In the United States, Amelia Earhart is the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. The Dust Bowl continues to plague the central US and the Black Sunday dust storm strikes the affected regions. FDR creates the Works Progress Administration. Airplanes are banned from flying over the White House. Due to what looks like potential Japanese aggression, plans for an independent Philippines are put on hold again, causing minor unrest in the islands and clashes with local government. There is some minor buildup in the armed forces, but the main focus is repairing the economy. *Soviet Union: The situation inside the Soviet Union rises to a boiling point as the supporters of the NKVD and the military are increasingly tense with each other yet don't have the ability to act yet. Eventually, the tension reaches a critical point and the military supporters loyal to Mikhail Tukhachevsky decide to act first, convinced that if they wait much longer, they will be arrested and executed by Stalin and the NKVD. Military tanks and armored cars surround the Kremlin as Red Army forces storm the capital. While the situation remains tense for a while, it soon becomes apparent that the military forces are triumphant and Stalin and his cadre of supporters have been arrested for "crimes against the people and the revolution." Soon after, Stalin is tried in a show trial and condemned for treason. Stalin is executed in a quiet affair and soon after the military purge the NKVD of most of Stalin's supporters. Some of Stalin's supporters like Molotov are arrested but for most of them they are only condemned or imprisoned. The Council of Soviets declares Mikhail Tukhachevsky to be the head chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and is promoted to Marshal soon after. With this newfound power, Tukhachevsky begins the industrialization of the Soviet military at a pace even faster than what Stalin had tried to do, eager to rapidly modernize the military in both technology and tactics. The idea of Deep Operations is further developed and officially adopted by the Soviet military machine, which also places more focus on industrialization and armored vehicles than just sheer manpower. True to Tukhachevsky's rather stern and bloody disposition and reputation, the military starts investigation and production of chemical weapons such as sarin, mustard, and tear gas, although the development and stockpiling of these weapons is a classified secret. To help support the military machine that Tukhachevsky is making, industrialization and infrastructure efforts are increased in order to fulfill any demands the military and state might have. Less skilled on the diplomatic front, Tukhachevsky agrees to the alliance with Austria and also decides to support the Spanish mining industry, seeing it as a potential front to expand Communism in southern Europe. Noticing the Japanese invading China and deciding that this would be an opportune time to both exact revenge for the Xinjiang War and liberate more of the various Chinese peoples, the Soviet Union sends in several armies into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in order to carve out a section for themselves. **​Mongolia: The coup in Moscow has sent tremors through the Mongolian government, and some of those that were fiercely loyal to Stalin flee while others stay to try to maintain their power. Soviet armies en route to invade China restore order in Mongolia and execute several of the Stalinist supporters for crimes against the people. As a result of the change, persecution of the Buddhists decreases slightly, although overall their situation is still not that great. Several cavalry and infantry divisions join their Soviet comrades to help liberate China. **Tuva: Much of what happens in Mongolia also happens in Tuva. The region is slightly unsettled with the coup, but life in the area soon returns to normal within a short period of time. A small Soviet force is installed to maintain order. A division of soldiers is provided to help assist the Soviets in their campaign. **East Turkestan People's Republic: The provisional republic is largely unaffected by the coup, although it is soon affected by the war. The Republic does what it can to help the soldiers of the Soviet Union accomplish their objectives and some Uyghur nationalists and Communists join up with them in order to achieve national liberation. *Republic of Colombia: President Alfonso López Pumarejo begins a renewed campaign of modernization and reform in the Republic of Colombia. Trade continues in earnest with the United States, the source of most manufactured goods in Latin America. Modernization of the military also begins, with industrialization leading to more producing power. Construction begins on a new naval base and port. *'Saudi Arabia:''' 'The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. 'The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. '''With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defend the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. '''Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. '''We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. '''The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. '''Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. '''All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. *France:''' France begins to renovate and improve its industry after seeing the Germany's new economic machine, and begin to try to compete with the Germans. France continues to build up its military due to the growing Communist threat in Eastern Europe. In the hopes to help prepare in case of another European war, the newest French Medium Battle Tank begins production with the first wave of the design to be rolled out by 1936, the Char B1 Tank. The current French Army division stands at roughly 1,000,000 men due to the increased fear in Eastern Europe and more are being trained incase an outbreak of war occurs, with roughly 600,000 able bodied men in reserve. Two more Dunkerque-class battleships are laid down for construction as well as renovating the current French fleet. Small steps are made in the way of French aviation technology. We try to improve our economy with a few government programs to help aid its recovery. The freeing up of colonial holdings and giving them more power has allowed France to free up some excess funds to help maintain it's current military, slowly upgrade it, and to help out the shot economy. '''We continue to maintain relations with our allies and trade partners. We also agree to German Diplomatic treaty offered to us by the Germans. We continue to keep a watchful eye on the increasing number of Austrian troops and the French keep a watchful eye on Spain with rumors of rebellions rising up within the nation.

The General Elections take place this year, with Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the British Liberal Party, gaining a narrow victory. He becomes the first Prime Minister from the Liberal Party. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom. China: As a result of the Japanese and Soviet invasions of China, the Nationali Revolutionary Army and the People's Liberation Army are both mobilized to fight Japan, as well as Warlord Armies (5,600,000 Chinese are mobilized) with Chiang mobilizing the central government's army and air force and Mao rising up the peasants. Chiang stops the pursuit of Mao and they agree to join forces against the Imperial Japanese Army. In order to counter the invading Japanese, military and infrastructure is built up. ==1935.5== ''' The seventh congress of the Comintern is held. In OTL it was the final congress. USSR player can decide otherwise.  Sorry. *Thailand:''' Thailand continues to build up the military. Infrastructure is improved, and some new roadways are built. More Buddhist Temples are also built. *United Kingdom: The sun never sets on the British Empire! King George V continues his rule, which has now lasted for 35 years. As the United Kingdom recovers from its wheat harvest failure, the Communist sentiment in Britain begins to swell among the general populace. In October, a massive strike takes place as desperate workers struggle to make a living. Communist sentiment in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland grows. The Communist Party, which saw a 4% share of the vote in the General Election of 1935, becomes popular in the British colonies as well. Such growth of the party concerns Parliament greatly. Troops are mobilized in York, a hotbed for Communism in England. Fingers point at the Labour Party, which disavows all association with the Communist Party of Britain and its various associates. This angers the Communists in Britain even further. The Labour Party and other parties in Parliament begin to make rash decisions in order to curb Communism in Britain. By December, the poor actions of Parliament have led to a dramatic rise in Communism in Britain. Budget cuts for the military continue into this year in order to save the British economy. There are roughly 400,000 people in the British Army. The powerful British Navy also sees budget cuts; it owns 208 ships as of the end of this year. While this is still a massive navy, it is a drain on resources and money for the United Kingdom. *Iran Dip: Would like advisor support to modernize the nation, especially help the start of a oil industry. *Iran: Western eductation continue to be impose on the population along the style of life. Secularism is still promote and and Western influence continue to flood Iran. Communism is still banned and any influence of it is exclude. Saudi Arabia is offer a trade deal. *Brazil: The nation itself continues to show steady growth and economic re-surging after years of issues caused by the Depression. The Brazilian nation seeking less usual economic support from abroad continues its advance as what is now being known as the Brazilian restoration. With Industries beginning to re-open, new industries taking root, and a promising economic setup provided by the government allows the development of Brazil into a more modern and powerful nation able to in eventuality globally compete. The Government heavily pushes the new settlement opportunities within Brazil along the amazons as more territory opens up. The settlement however expands rather modestly and much more than expected as the favelas begin to file out for more of these inland settling opportunities. The Brazilian navy proudly re-presents the modernized Battleships to the admiralty who are extremely impressed by the modernization as well as the Two battleships being able to perform in top shape. These ships are immediately re-deployed with the best crews and are sent on a maiden voyage across brazils southern coasts. The Brazilian navy with advisement from its Italian hired counterparts finishes blueprints for multiple designs of new ships particular cruisers, destroyers and frigates as well as multiple auxiliary models. The first three destroyers to be domestically produced are put into shipbuilding in Rio de Janeiro and will be finished in about a years time. The next year the First frigate, and first Cruiser will be put into production as well to give testing designs for all of the necessary classes of ships. The Brazilian military begins to look into the usefulness of aircraft carriers. The Brazilian navy agrees to a personelle expansion to nearly 100,000 to fill opening roles as well as giving the training to another 30,000 marines all to be ready in the next year. The Brazilian army continues to research and develop on new tanks branching out into light, medium, and heavy designs. Private aviation however makes inroads into aircraft development but as of yet have not gotten purchases from the government. The Brazilian roadway system expands out of the coast managing to push into the southern areas and interior. The Influence into Uruguay continues as progress into the major economic network in south america continues. The Workforce of Brazil continues to develop further with more and more beginning to be deployed within industry jobs speeding up economic recovery. Brazil sends observers to watch the construction of its Battleship in Italy. Brazilian population hits 38.3 million with a sharp increase in immiration from Europe. Brazil begins to openly influence Venezuela using the connections through the oil development project to talk to many High up Venezuelan officials about the potential economic force of South America (Turn One of Five) Brazilian overtures to Uruguay continue to bear fruit as a more positive opinion of Brazil in Uruguay begins to rise. The Brazilian constitution is written expanding on social freedoms among other things. It is to be ratified in the next six months with the current acting president to serve five year term followed by an election to decide the new presidency. *'Saudi Arabia:''' 'The Newly birthed Kingdom continues to develop its military and economy. Resources remain scarce in the nation, with little fertile land existing in Arabia, the King accepts the American and Swiss offers to search for oil in Arabia, and in exchange, they will get 5% of the profits for the first ten years (post discovery) and preferential trade until the end of time. 'The Saudi King begins to a program to re-purpose the little fertile land in the nation to increase domestic food production. Industry is also developed, though at a slower rate. '''With The Yemeni government rejecting our offer for peace, an army of 12,000 men, led by Crown Prince Saud, is deployed to defened the disputed territory from Yemeni Attackers. He is currently under strict orders to not attack the Yemeni yet. '''Ibn Saud seeks to modernize the Saudi Armed forces, which currently stands at about 40,000 men. '''We ask to purchase arms from any nations willing to sell arms. '''The Saudi Royal Navy and Saudi Royal Air Force are also expanded, with new planes and ships slated for construction based off of old Ottoman designs. Shipyards and naval bases are also expanded to account for the planned naval expansion. The navy stands at 200 men and six ships, while the air force stands at 150 men and 40 aircraft. '''Seeing as the British are downsizing their navies, we request to purchase some old or outdated ships. '''All of the military expansion programs led the nation into debt. As such, a three-part plan is put into effect. The first part increases the tax that must be paid when Muslims make the pilgrimage to the holy cities. The second is to cut spending on public works. The third is to increase the search for oil. With the third year of the three-part plan, the nation sees the deficit drop slightly. *Greece:''' As part of his plans of expanding the military, Metaxas orders a draft of men between the ages of 18—27 (with some exceptions). Military services of 18 months is now mandatory for Greek men. Some 50,000 people show up to draft stations, and it is expected that the total number of troops will ultimately be around half a million by 1936. Metaxas also does this to ensure that in the event of a war, the Greek state would always have a large pool of trained soldiers to call on, and every man will be able to fight. Propaganda depicts Greek men as the descendants of Spartans and calls on them to join the army and sign contracts. The Royal Helleic Navy reached the size of 37 ships with three more recently-finished destroyers joining the fleet. The air force has risen to 85 aircraft. Military drills are nearly finished as the conscripts begin their training. Meanwhile, with the upgraded and enlarged railway system, transport becomes faster around the country. It is planned for renovations to take place in Athens. *New Zealand: Although Bill Parry's government is weak, he still is popular. We offer a trade agreement to '''Poland [MOD RESPONSE]. '''Economy is largely improved, mostly due to the Sheep trade with Australia. '''We offer Sheep trade to the Netherlands, British Raj and Nationalist China. We ask the United States of America if we can buy four M2 light tank's  in exchange for 10,000 dollars being sent to the US and sheep trade, and we also ask the United Kingdom if we can buy two Vickers Medium Mark II tanks for the same amount money and sheep trade. We also ask France if we can buy the South Porvince of New Caledonia for 50 million and sheep trade. [Mil/Inf turn]. *British Raj:''' India continuees improve its Infrastructure and build up its military. The Indian population continues to grow slowly, as a few new farms are built most on rivers. New parts of roads are build and every a few houses are built in largest cities in India. In the last Secretary of States news in India, Sir Samuel Hoare left office and is replaced by The Marquess of Zetland. Both them are Conservative and are English lived in England, but its Indian as well. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims rise in India and Hinduism is declared as national religion of India. Industry continues improved to be one of best works in India. * Argentina: We continue working on our designs for a light aircraft carrier. The Navy launches another four small patrol boats. The Army begins to construct a factory to manufacture tanks domestically and several private companies are hired. They also look at designing a new rifle and sidearm due to the curren age. The government continues domestic work projects which continue to help improve the economy. After some concern, the communists in Argentina pledge to remain independent from Soviet policymakers. Agriculture begins to prosper in the south and cotton is planed in the north. Industrt is worked on, the economy continues to recover. * Belgium: The industry is performing good.
