The white population is increasingly divided between the pro-British subjects and the Anti-British Afrikaanars (a real problem in OTL though it was handled) with many still wishing for complete independence from the crown. Industrialization of the union continues and blacks along with colored are continuously used with little rights. the armed forces begin a period of modernization to bring them up to standards and the military begins looking at the idea of using an automatic weapon as the major component in the future.

Citizens of Iceland vote against acquiring membership of the League of Nations, despite Ásgeirsson's endorsements of voting "yes" on the referendum.


 * South Africa: The unresponsive nature of the British Empire to the request of integration of Namibia decisively turns many Afrikaaners to the Anti-British groups though there is no central organization to the movement. Yet a few leaders begin becoming prominent figures in South African society and on the political stage, and lots of the anti-British begin joining the military. Military build up and modernization continues. industrialization continues at a decent pace and thanks to money coming in from mineral exports the process can continue.

The Canadian Air Force establishes a radar station on the island to help assert Canadian authority over the island, as well as given an early warning sign for Danish fighters or vessels that approach Hans Island. The Canadian Army establishes a series of military bases along the Northwest Passage, which gives the Canadian Navy dominance over an important trade route between Europe and Asia. The Canadian Highway Project is 25% complete and is expected to be finished by 1936. The Royal Arctic Division, a special forces group, is established from the most experienced soldiers in the Canadian Army, and begins to prepare for their first deployment: overthrow of the Danish-controlled government in Greenland and bringing the island under the hands of Canada. Meanwhile, research continues on nuclear physics, jet fighters, and rockets. An alliance and mutual defense pact is offered to Iceland, which will help assert the power of the two nations over Denmark.
 * Iceland Diplomacy:  We accept your offer, and are looking forward to combating the Danish colonists side by side. For too long have the countries of Iceland and Greenland been oppressed.

Protests are organised across Iceland with the aim of ridding the country of its Danish monarchy supported by the newly elected Prime Minister Ólafur Thors, who wishes to break the strict neutrality code of the country and make Iceland a major player in world affairs. Thors offers to give the Third Reich a 75% discount on Icelandic sulfur if it leases its military base on the island of Rügen to Icelandic and Canadian forces for the next ten years, with the intent of moving troops closer to Denmark in anticipation of possible conflict.

 * Canada: Canada increases its military presence around Greenland, particularly near Nuuk, its capital. The Royal Arctic Division is sent to Nuuk to begin Operation Frostbite. Danish-born officials are assassinated, symbols of Danish supremacy of the island are bombed and destroyed by saboteurs, and the Danish military bases across the island are leveled by bombers with no markings, which means that the Danish can't tell if it was Canadian, German, or American. Research continues into nuclear physics, jets and rocketry, while the Canadian Navy releases a second battleship, and three more submarines. Construction begins on its first aircraft carrier. Canada supports Iceland's petition to become the location of the Olympics.

Revokes the historical claims on Transylvania, because it's the part of its new ally. But it can only do it only SECRETLY to avoid the national outcry. The government asks Italy to give a small port to Hungary in Albania to use it as a Balkan military and naval base. New technologies are being used in the agriculture, and the food industries are upgraded too. The military is built up to 40,000 troops.
 * Italy agrees, but states it will be under the control of the entire Mediterranean Powers, so all members of the Alliance can use the base as they wish.
 * Romania: Starts sending some men and ships that are in Albania to Southeast Turkey, since the Northern beaches of turkey are being invaded. Military is built up to 75,000, though more recruiting buildings are being made. Romania hopes the army gets to 90,000 by 1937.

 * Italy D: Great Britain, I'm sorry but we've already made a lot of commitment into the war against Turkey, and your empire is the greatest on earth. We cannot let you have any land in Turkey, but since you are having an alliance against Turkey, we welcome your aid and troops, and offer you full membership in the Mediterranean Powers, this way in any future wars, you gain land, and the relations between Germany and Britain can be healed.

1935.5

 * USSR: The government declares war on Turkey for being a weak nation we ask to join the Mediterranean powers

He also made a speech in the capital, Belgrade supporting Bucharest as the next Olympic host city and announced the increase of the military funds, besides  the army numbers. The King officially requested to enter the Mediterranean Powers and offer in exchange full military support and military access to all members. He made explicit that the country will need help increasing the military power and economy.

Military commanders fear cut funds on the military, due to the Neutrality Act of 1934, though the White House states that the military will not be considerably cut down, in order for the United States to be protected from potential threats. In order to show how America has regrown, the Governor of Colorado announces that Denver will run for a bid of the 1942 Winter Olympics (1946 if it's too late to submit a bid.) We also remain Neutral in the current Canadian/Icelandic-Danish Conflict, though we confirm to the Danish Embassy that no American bomber bombed Nuuk in a conflict from earlier this year, and criticizes any aggressive conflict, although we offer to be peacekeepers, not wanting to damage relations with Canada or Denmark.

The Border Protection Act is passed by the Canadian Parliament, which establishes checkpoints along the Canadian-American Border, and the right of officers to search any suspicious vehicle. Research into nuclear physics continue, while a rocket test is scheduled for next year. Research and Development finish up its designs of the P-51 Thunderbolt, a model that is superior to the P-40 and ME - 109. A battleship is launched, while another is laid down. The aircraft carrier is approximately 50% finished, and several more submarines and destroyers are launched. This makes the Canadian Navy the second largest in North America, and the fourth most powerful navy in the world, but behind Britain, the United States, Japan, and Germany. Development of a sub machine gun similar to the MP-40 begins, while the C2, a machine gun similar to the Browning M2, is equipped to the Canadian Army. The machine gun is built to withstand the elements, can be used in desert, jungle, and snowy terrain, and can be mounted on tanks.
 * American Diplomacy: The White House issues a statement, stating disappointment in Canada not seeming to trust the United States. This will make trade harder, and as a consequence, new factories are opened up in Vermont, in order to make more federal-made maple syrup to slow sales from Canada, along with the opening of more paper mills in the Pacific Northwest, to make up softwood sales.
 * Canadian D: We don't care if the United Kingdom borders us, we take the security of our nation over the interests of the United States, anytime. Your moves won't effect us. We'll find new trading partners.

McKenzie proposes to form NATO, a multinational organization comprised of Canada, Iceland, and Greenland. Meanwhile, Canada launches its first rocket into the sky, and fails. Despite the failure, Canada begins to improve on its design of rocketry, as well as nuclear physics,
 * Iceland believes that occupying the country would not free Greenland from oppression, and wholeheartedly supports the creation of NATO. Our troops will leave Greenland within the next weeks.
 * United States: Offers to become a witness, but NOT a member, of NATO, where we offer to send forces to protect Iceland and Greenland, if either end up in danger. Multiple government-owned businesses are established throughout the country, in order to help the country's economy, which leads to heavy criticism from right-wing Republican politicians, where they notice a disturbing similarity between Roosevelt's plans, and the Soviet Union's Communist economic policies. A private research reveals about the United States Navy.
 * Four Battleships
 * 49 Destroyers
 * 106 Carriers (Carriers were not as big as today.)

Iceland secretly asks Canada, the Third Reich, Sweden and Greenland if they will help wipe Denmark off the map.
 * United States: Having established relations with Iceland (Iceland's plan is secret, so the U.S. has no idea, according to the game rules), we urge not for Denmark to retaliate against Iceland, Greenland or Canada. Rumours of the repression of the Jews in Germany are reported, which disturb the Jewish public in the U.S., as protests against the German Embassy in Washington, along with protests in the Consulates-General in Los Angeles, New York City and Boston.

Italy also welcomes Britain into the alliance.
 * Canada: As promised, the Canadian Army Corps of Engineers are the last combat troops to leave Greenland, while a battalion of soldiers remain in Greenland to repair the infrastructure of the country and improve the army.

Plans to build a Kópavogur-Akureyri-Höfn Railway are drawn up by the Icelandic Ministry for Transport, Tourism and Sport but are opposed by local communities. Military leaders also secretly make a precise battle strategy that will allow troops to travel through Denmark quickly. The gifted Canadian troops arrive in Rügen and therefore the seas around the Danish Wadden Sea Islands and the Strait of Kattegat are littered with mines in hopes of disrupting trade to Denmark. Nakskov and Rødbyhavn are captured by Icelandic forces. Iceland begins construction of the Northern Coliseum, a 75,000-seater stadium used to host sporting events from all over the world. It is also used to sway the 1942 Olympic bid in Iceland's favour.

The second Coliseum of Rome is completed with 400,000 seats and a design based upon the original Roman Coliseum, and a huge dome is built over the Coliseum, and it is made of steel and polyester fiber cloth, allowing a good 80% of the dome to be open during good weather and closed during bad weather, a retractable dome. The Italian Rugby League is formed. The Milan Eagles and Roman Stallions are the first two teams in the IRL and start the first League game in the 2nd Coliseum de Roma, with the Eagles beating the Stallions 4-3. Italy leaves the Roman Powers along with Azeria and Kurdistan and applies to join NATO.
 * Iceland wonders how a coliseum of that huge size could be completed in less than half a year, and why Italy has decided to run an Olympic bid so late when the results are to be announced next turn.
 * If your trying to do it for the 1942 Winter Olympics you need a lot more than a dome, because most sports are outside, and that would take you till 1940, which is two years before the Olympics. Try for the 1944 Summer Olympics.
 * Iceland supports Italy's right to join NATO and will pass it onto NATO officials.

The Denver Coliseum for the opening ceremony, (similar to OTL Mile High Stadium), which will have a capacity of 40,000, and afterwards, will be used for baseball or football. This stadium will cost $450,000-$500,000 to build (Approx $4,500,000 today). While the U.S. claims neutrality in current conflicts, sources say that the Naval buildup by Japan is worrying many on the Pacific coast, which slows down plans to lower military funding, but plans for 4 battleships and 20 destroyers to stay on guard on the Pacific coast.
