Spread of Communism Revised (Map Game)

Welcome to Spread of Communism Revised. The First game kinda died because all the mods left, so, the new game!

The year is 1955. The US and USSR are at their throats. Meanwhile, countries across the globe are taking sides- to join the Warsaw Pact or NATO?

Let the Cold War begin.

We will start on the 10th of July (2012)

The Game has Begun!

Rules
1. Implausibility is obviously outlawed. You get three strikes, on the third a vote is held to kick you off and then on every subsequent offense.

2. Mods word is law, unless proved wrong.

3. Only mods may play as the US or USSR, and only approved players (they do not have to be mods) can play as China, the UK, or France.

4. In a game like this nukes are a real quandary, as the whole game is about nukes, so just try to not use them.

5. No playing as colonies.

6. Turns in half years.

7. Mod events can and will occur.

8. NPC countries will be controlled by mods if the need arises.

9. Mods negociate treaties.

10. Only one nation per player.

11. New turn will start at 0:00 PST everyday.

12. Names can only change under government change or Unification of the area (ie, Finland calls itself Scandanavia after conquering the whole region).

13. Flags change only under Rule 12.

14. Mods can strike out Implausibilty but the player accused can defend his point and if he is proved right, then it doesn't count as a strike.

15. Three Strikes also counts for breaking of any of these rules.

16. Any nation on one side (Ex: UK in NATO) cannot switch to the other unless the government is replaced. However, neutral nations can join any side they want as long as it is plausible and good reason is given.

17. In the event that a player of the UK, US, USSR, France, or China leaves the mods will elect a new player for that position (he can refuse, though.)

18. There will be a nation power and Warfare algorithm. For Nation power we will use the States of America 5 algorithm (you do not need a nation page). The mods will invent a warfare algorithm.

19. Only a mod's interpretation of the algorithms will count.

Algorithm
NOTE: ONLY MODS WILL DO THESE.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH: Europe did not loose that many colonies that fast. Even in the starting point, they still held on to some colonies. And shouldn't this start at 1949 just like the previous game?

No. in 1949 we have the Korean war and half a dozen revolutions going on, it got too implausible. And Britain released all of its colonies in 1946-1948, So did america, France lost theirs, Germany lost theirs, Italy lost theirs.Guns (talk) 05:48, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

France still has Constantine, Alger, and Oran in Algeria, Benin, the Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Chad, Central African Republic, French Congo, Gabon, French Cameroon, Mauritius, Djibouti, and the Comoros. (CHECK WIKIPEDIA FOR OTHERS)


 * 1) jawdrop

Ok, can you fix the map? I can't my software doesn't do well with countries that small. Guns (talk) 06:07, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

I updated the map to include the French possessions and the Ethiopian Empire. Ring a bell if you need anything else. --"Truth fears no questions..." 13:17, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Other European nations still had their overseas colonies. Check Wikipedia to get the answers (I can't because my mom told me so). RandomWriterGuy (talk) 16:06, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Check this link and this as well. RandomWriterGuy (talk) 16:10, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

I've updated the map to include the European possessions in Africa before 1955. --"Truth fears no questions..." 16:51, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Going to admit that pretty much every nation who already holds colonial possessions will have to experience some form of independence movement. Mine is in Algeria. I have this link for all dates of all African colonies. BTW, no offense, but the map is not yet complete. RandomWriterGuy (talk) 04:29, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

No offense taken. I wasn't about to spend my time destroying my eyes making sure I got every city- seized province colored in for their respective owners. I just stuck with the ones of the most importance. --"Truth fears no questions..." 21:47, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Romanian diplomacy: we support Egypt move, a alliance is proposed with a trade pact.
 * UK D: Warns Egypt that any such plan would be met with full UK military force.
 * I crossed it out for a reason. Implausibility. Egypt would never know anything about supporters of Israel yet.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union offers Egypt aid in the acquisition of the Suez Canal.
 * French DIplomacy: It pursuades the government that they are pressuring Britain to let Egypt share the power with them so it wouldn;t start another war.
 * Ethiopia: The Emperor orders the construction of a new railway system following his grandfather's refusal to build one following European escapades in the region.

 * Indonesia: A coup de tat removes Sukarno from power and an interim military junta is placed into power until the nation is stabalized, the military begins cracking down on dissent and resistence to the new regime. plans are put forward to modernize the indonesian economy to pull it out of the massive debt collected from the independence war and from Sukarno's goveernment. roads and train lines are put into construction and western goods are allowed in the country again, a member of the junta approaches NATO to improve relations between the west and Indonesia.
 * French Diplomacy: It asks it for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Romania: The military budget is slightly increase and reasearch to developp a more modern tank begun, a anti-capitalist propaganda is created and the Romanian are encourage to join the military force, the navy begun the construction of three small warship. The colonial repression is denounced and we would be happy to welcome the Greek communists. The Soviet Union is asked if it could sell us some equipments.

 * It was worth the try ;)
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union agrees to sell equipment to it's comerades in Romania.
 * The United States invites Greece and Indonesia to join the Global Union of Democracy, which will have all the NATO members in it. (Problem: Y'all can't join NATO, causr the A stands for Atlantic and neither of ya borders the Atlantic so I had to create the GUD.)
 * Greece joined NATO in 1952.
 * Indonesian Diplomacy: the government will accept an alliance with the usa and any other capitalist nations but it will think about joining the GUD. (btw greece is a member of nato in otl so is turkey, croatia, and italy non of which are connected to the atlantic but yeah its only for western nations i think. just heads up)
 * OK then. I'm still defuncting the NATO and forming the GUD.
 * Saudi Arabia: The Saudi King makes an statement that Saudi Arabia will remain neutral in the Cold War. Meanwhile, construction on an rail system across the country to help transport goods easier and not worry about trucks running out gas in the middle of the desert. The Saudi King asks for ANY country to help modernize its military.

 * Saudi Arabian Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia thanks South Korea and agrees to South Korea's request for favoured nation status.
 * The United States agrees to aid Arabia f Arabia gives equal rights to everyone and outlaws the Communists and joins the GUD.
 * Saudi Diplomacy: We agree to outlaw Communism, but can we join as an observer of the GUD
 * Erm Saudi Arabia doesn't have equal rights now. Its a bit implausible for them to get them now without a change in government. I thought you mods where meant to be checking for implausibility?
 * Fixed my response.
 * The United States agrees to let Saudi be an observor.
 * Indonesian Diplomacy: the indonesian government offers to help saudi arbia as a fellow islamic nation despite the difference in culture in the 2 nations and despite indonesian seclurism. it also offers that a strong trading deal be made between them.

Food production is stepped up in an effort to stop the rationing and imports increase too. Entrepreneurship is encouraged in the country to reduce unemployment, and Israel also start secret talks with the UK and France to stop Egypt if they make a move to take over the Suez.
 * French Diplomacy: France suggests that in order to gain Egypt's support, it pursuades Britain and Egypt share the canal together. Hopefully, this means no war.
 * Brazil: Brazil improves its already powerful military and navy, adding to our edge as the leading power in South America. Infrastructure improves and the economy does exceedingly well at this point. Brazil's Congress and the President are currently discussing the possibility of a Brazilian nuclear program for both energy and(secretly) weapons. Brazil is also considering joining NATO.
 * The United States offers Brazil an alliance and limited aid in its nuke program is it joins the GUD, NATO successor.
 * Brazil accepts all terms.
 * French Diplomacy: It asks it for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Mexico: Mexico enters the Mexican Miracle Period (OTL) as it now has modern roads and a booming economy, with 3 percent growth anually. It focuses on peacekeeping.
 * America will help Mexico turn into a developed nation if it joins the GUD.
 * Mexico: Mexico will stay on its non-aligned side for the time being.
 * French Diplomacy: It asks the country for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The USSR respects Mexico's neutrality, considering it's close proximity to the United States, and, if it wishes to remain neutral, at least it could have a trade agreement?
 * Mexican Diplomacy: Mexico is a nation of free trade. Any corperation wishing to trade with Mexico is allowed to by the law of liberal trading. It accepts to allow USSR commerce through Mexico. (Due to the USSR having tight trade laws I believe.) Meaning every nation can trade with Mexico. It thanks the USSR for understanding their neutrality policy.
 * West Germany: West Germany continues strong economic growth, combined with increased support of the West German state after West Germany's victory against Hungary in the 1954 World Cup, showed that non-Communists were supportive of the Bundesrepublik. Government officials consider the restarting of the military, instead under the name Bundeswehr, to defend the country against possible attacks from East Germany and the Warsaw states. However, West Germany wants to align with NATO, with the permission of the other 14 members of NATO. In return, we wish to return to developing arms, but we are willing to make a deal, that a lion's share of arms will be sent to the Allies (including former enemies, the U.K., France and the United States).
 * French Diplomacy: Your wish.
 * German Response: Although there may be a miscommunication, or mix up in translation, we aren't sure if that meant, "okay, West Germany can join." ("Your wish."), or if it means, "No. We can't trust you after what happened in World War II." ("You wish.")
 * West Germany was already part of NATO after it was formed, although that NATO has become GUD(Global Union of Democracy) to fit in global members.
 * France begins to experience colonial problems in Algeria, as a rebellion has popped up aiming for independence. Realizing that they have the USSR in their hands, they would rather negotiate with the rebels than fight them. France asks that Algeria can be a dominion of the country if they cease to stop fighting. But due to complaints from French settlers, a separate area for them would be established. It begins to redevelop the economy from the ashes of WWII by developing strong industries (steel, textiles, weapons, military hardware, vehicles, etc.) to gain support from their colonial subjects, they begin to promote certain rights and semi-self-rule. France begins exploitation of the colonies in order to feed the economy, but allows a fair portion of the resources to be used by the colonials. With the Korean War over, it secretly begins to aid South Korea to prepare against another invasion. It secretly begins a nuke program of their own, asking the United STates for assisstence.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: Brazil agrees to the alliance and trade agreements(but we are both part of GUD arent we). Brazil also proposes a joint nuclear weapons/energy program, it already started in Brazil and if we both work together it'll finish much earlier in both of our countries.
 * USSR begins to manufacture more weapons (including those of the nuclear persuasion) and ships them to it's allies. Any nations that wish for support or allies are extended an formal alliance and trade agreement proposal. The Soviet Union creates the Union of the Hammer and the Sickle (the UHR), a national Communist organization, partially to rival the GUD, and partially to promote communist values in weakened or developing countries. Pro-Communism propaganda is being shipped to several countries, mainly in South America and Africa.
 * Italy: Italy sends more troops to their colonies in Africa. Italy also puts more forts in the Alps. Italy manufactures more weapons to supply the soldiers. An alliance offer is sent to Greece and Switzerland.
