Dawn of War (Map Game)

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

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

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

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


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

1948.0
Mod Events:

February 13th 1948:''' Paris Peace accords alongside the USS Missouri peace treaty officially end the Second World War. Leading to nearly 100 million deaths worldwide. Two nuclear weapons have devastated Japan in the final moments of the war and Germany has been under occupation for nearly 3 years.'''

'''The Second Mexican Empire, and the Federation remain the two only remaining members of the Axis following the World War. relations between the Federation and the victorious allies remain in dire straits as their intervention prolonged the war 3 years.'''

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

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

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

multiple operations by the US and USSR to claim german scientists leftover from the previous Federation operation are launched bringing the remaining scientists to the US and USSR respectively.


 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation following the end of the World War begins the consolidation of its gains over the Caribbean and posts a large fleet in Cuba consisting of a fleet carrier, three battleships, three cruisers, five destroyers, seven frigates, and 2 corvettes. Submarines continually patrol the perimeter of Federation occupied Caribbean. The Federation begins to instill some initiatives to work its steel, and other more sustainable domestic industries into a competitive sphere with other powers particularly the United States. With a population of 136 million the Federation is one of the worlds most populous but until recently untested nations. With the end of the War the Federation makes a concentrated initiative to draw back its military forces. It goes from a force of nearly 3 million active troops to about 800,000 with many of the now unemployed soldiers being put to work in industries that need them or are given a government voucher for education. The Federation continues however to remain one of the worlds dominant oil powers which continue to show most nations begrudgingly doing business with the country. Ironically following the conclusion of the end of the war the Federation undergoes an election which puts a more moderate Argentinian politician into power. Jesus Peron immediately recognizes the war crimes of many Nazis but extradites many Nazi officials for Nuremburg trials and says "the Federation would have never joined the war knowing about the horrors of the German holocaust in Europe". With this announcement the Federation immediately looks to begin repairing relations with many nations involved in the war and offers to enter into talks about the Caribbean with the United States. The Federation itself begins major pushes in technological fields specifically in transforming its armed forces into a more assault and mobile oriented force rather than the brute force and marine focus it had for most of the War. This begins the further development of the Federation arms industry which has taken over much production of German war equipment under a Federation moniker which allows the equipment of STG-44's and multiple other weaponry into the Federation armed forces. This particularly pertains to many German Tanks which are given a design overhaul and are expected to be out in force within the next year. The Federation begins to deal with some of the internal issues particularly attempts to promote the bi-culturalism of the Nation. The Federation also sends diplomats to Spain and Portugal in an attempt to establish a working relationship with the last two Fascist powers in Europe. The Federation begins putting the german scientists to work, who willingly put much of their expertise into developed technologies particularly Jet Aircraft and Rocket technology. The Federation also makes concerted effort to promote a cultural sharing and promotes bi-lingualism requiring Portuguese and Spanish to be taught to all school children. Research into nuclear technology begins as well seeing the destructive capabilities and wishing to add it to the Federation Arsenal. The Federation immediately begins to throw support behind Mahatma Gandhi in India and sends a large sum of funds to support the Indian independence movement.
 * A delegation of congressmen from the United States offers a deal to the Federation: Mutual withdraw of military and political influence from the Carribbean, except that the US retains Peurto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In exchange, the Federation may keep their influence on Cuba.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation agrees to this and will begin the process of withdrawing and making sure responsible government is left in all these nations. We also wish to establish some sort of working relationship on how to Restore Haiti due to both nations occupations of that nation
 * Romania: We begin rebuilding the nation, opening mines, factories, farms, etc. We begin focusing on technology as mean of living. We begin promoting the army and send anti-Yugoslav propaganda in Vojvodina.
 * Kurdistan finally gains its long-desired independence, with the formerly Turkish, Iranian and Arab-ruled parts of the Kurdish lands coming together in a unitary republic. A national unity government is formed with the capital in Mosul. After so long as repressed minorities, the Kurds are chary of majoritarian rule, and the new constitution forms a secular state which emphasizes religious and ethnic freedoms. Eager to liberate other oppressed groups (and, of course, to gain land), the government encourages ethnic minorities in Syria like the Alawites and Druze to advocate for their rights, arming them. The various militias are officially untie dingo one national army, with training and equipment standardized. The Kurdish government looks to establish trade deals with foreign countries and is especially interested in purchasing arms.
 * The United Kingdom: We recognise Kurdistan's independence and offers a trade agreement to them.


 * Japan: Following the defeat of Japan, major reforms take place. A new constitution begins to be written. Meanwhile, huge reconstruction and rebuilding takes place throughout the nation. Tetsu Katayama becomes the first Prime Minister of post-war Japan.
 * Korea: We demand reparation payments of 100 billion US dollars this year, and 10 billion US dollars a year for the next fifty years as well as another 250 million US dollars per year for the next seventy five years to give benefits to those enslaved and abused by your regime. We also demand control over the Liancourt Rocks and guarantees to our independence.
 * Barring any reparations for war crimes, the United States offers to give economic support to Japan to help recover their economy.
 * Republic of China: With the defeat of the Japanese forces and end of the recent World War, fighting with the Communist Party resumes. In the North East, the New 1st and 5th armies under General Cheng to secure Dandong, while the 3rd army stays in Shenyang. Meanwhile, one division under the control of Yan Xishan, numbering almost 10,000 strong lead an assault on Yan'an. In Guangxi, local police forces and army divisions battle insurgents. All across the country, suspected Communist sympathizers are tried for treason and executed. The Republic of China pleads with the United States and the British Empire for more aid and, potentially, military intervention. Chiang Kai-Shek continues his centralization of the government. The military, realizing its shortcomings and the new mobile type conflict they are embroiled in, begin to upgrade their tactics. The lighting war of the Nazi Third Reich is looked upon with much interest. Factories spring up, mass producing weapons needed for the war effort.
 * The United States pledges support to China to stop the spread of Communism, and sends whatever economic and military assisstence needed to put down the PRC.
 * The United Kingdom: We support the Republic of China by sending supplies to the Chinese and requests an alliance with them.
 * Canada: In 1948, Mackenzie King is at the top of his popularity. Canada came out of the war among the victors, and the Prime Minister was able to make Newfoundland join the Confederation, a long-time dream that turned into an electoral goal during the 1945 election.  He begins to develop new jobs in the public domain and government. The Liberal Government also invests in the naval sector, saying they will make every effort to returns their troops that where on the front line (even if the real reason is to affirm military presence in Arctic Territories). Even if he still has two more years in office, the king takes advantage of the high polls and calls a General Election, knowing he will easily win it. One of King's electoral promises is to play an active role in America, hoping to improve difficult relations between the USA, the Mexican Empire and the Federation.
 * The United Kingdom: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland begins rebuilding itself after WWII. We also begin developing new war equipment. The UK dramatically industrializes it's land in Africa and mines for precious minerals hoping to sell them to Kurdistan and other nations and make profit so that it can stabilize it's post-war economy. The United Kingdom also sends troops from India to China and establishes an alliance with the Republic in order to prevent the communist party from seizing control of China.


 * British West Africa: We begin mining and collecting natural resources in order to support the post-war British economy.
 * British East Africa: A large vein of gold is discovered in Uganda and we immediately begin retrieving it.


 * Britain actively de-industrialized its colonies to keep them reliant on british industry. On top of the This India is de-facto independent. Please re-evaluate your turn. -Feud


 * Korea: The newly reformed Republic of Korea begins to rebuild cities and the economy from the war and Japanese occupation. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Chongquing is brought back into the nation to begin aiding in the transition. Even though there is opposition in the United States occupational military government, the Republic of Korea allows the Workers' Party of Korea to enter into talks over a unified government to prevent a war like China is currently experiencing. It is agreed that they will split the National Assembly between the liberal Democratic National Party, the conservative Korea National Party, and the communist Worker's Party of Korea. All the various forces of the Korean Liberation Army are unified under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, Lee Beom-seok, and Ji Cheong-cheon. After much debate, the first President of the Republic of Korea is chosen to be Kim Koo, and the Prime Minister is Kim Won-bong. This agreement was facilitated by the belief that Korea can become powerful again, wanting a unified front against Japan, and the fear of foreign intervention in the nation like it has been for the past several hundred years. The government begins to build industry in the south and fortify the border with China to prevent an overspill of the Chinese Civil War. There is some protest by the Workers' Party of Korea over United States involvement, but the democratic parties assure Kim Il-Sung that they will work to wind down American occupation as soon as possible. Busan begins to be developed as a major port to facilitate trade. The remaining Japanese civilians in the nation are rounded up and put into internment camps near Pyongyang. Civilian and military leaders have advocated their use for hard labor or execution. There are 10,000 Japanese civilians in these camps, and there are serious talks about what to do with them. Agriculture begins to be improved with oversight from Kim Il-sung who has proposed government oversight of all areas of the economy until it is stabilized. After which, the economy will become more socialist as an appeasement to the capitalists.
 * The United States continues to support the Korean Government, and promises to withdraw occupation when the threat of Communism is dealt with.
 * United States: American industry and economy continues to grow exponentially after the end of the War. The industrial sector redirects their efforts from the previous war effort to domestic products. As a result, technologies such as automobiles and television become more prevalent in the nation. Other electronic media also starts going to production as well, based on the miraculous devices that cracked the enigma code years earlier. The technology captured in Operation Paperclip are secretly experimented with in an attempt to outpace Soviet and Axis development. Soldiers drafted in the war return to their homes welcomed by enormous celebrations, and quite a number of former fiance's are finally wed. Swing music becomes most popular among tean-age jazz fans. After completely withdrawing from Europe, the only American military outposts remain in the Pacific island territories and the Caribbean. Surplus of soldiers enlisted in the war are mostly retained. The Mexican border remains fortified on the alert for illegal immigration and any other possible incursion. Segregation continues in most states, and the predominant Anglo-Saxon population of America sees discrimination against Africans and Japanese. President Harry S. Truman calls for an end to Mandatory Palestine, in accordance with the Peel Commission of 1938, and supports the creation of Israel. This decision struck an accord among the Jewish American population, ensuring Truman's victory at re-election in November this year in defiance of the Republican candidate Harold Stassen. The territories of Alaska and Hawaii begin pushing for statehood. The President also proposes the Truman Doctrine before congress, pledging to stop the spread of totalitarian Communism wherever it may appear. Immediately after the Paris Accords, Truman offers to establish an organized alliance with some of the Allied powers, particularly those in the north Atlantic (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands). This will be known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Relations are strengthened with Canada as well, who are also invited to join NATO.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We request to be given six destroyers, four corvettes, 300 M4 Sherman tanks, 50 M3 Stuart tanks, 500 M101 howitzers, 25,000 M1 Garand's, 2,000 M1 Carbines, 10,000 M1911's, 20,000 M1909 revolvers, 200 M2 Brownings, 500 M1919 machine guns, 10,000 Mk 2 grenades, 48 P-51 Mustangs, 60 T-6 Texans, 18 C-47 Skytrain's, and 24 P-47 Thunderbolts.
 * Request approved
 * Portugal Dip: We agree to NATO membership
 * Spain Dip: We refuse citing years of Neutrality.
 * Dutch Dip: We refuse to join NATO.
 * British Diplomacy: We join NATO.
 * Netherlands: Willem Drees is elected PM of the nation. We build up our military by building military bases. Major cities start to rebuild themselves back to normal to like they were before the war. Farm lands are guarded closely by military troops. Factories now higher people because cities need steel to rebuild itself. We open our borders to Jewish people that need a country to live in. Unemployment goes up since people are getting jobs in factories. A welfare system is made. Soup kitchens are common in each city and are filled with many people. Food stamps are given out to people that are poor. Used clothing are given out to people that need them. Apartments are made cheep so less fortunate people can live in them.
 * Dutch Indonesia: We farm the land and bring back crops to the motherland.
 * Dutch Congo: We mine out the coal and diamonds in the caves.
 * Saudi Arabia: We seek to enter an alliance with a major nation. We consider the United States, the USSR, the Federation, France, the UK, and China as possible allies. We offer to sell oil exclusively to that country, considering increasing it to two countries already allied (like UK and US). In return for the alliance and oil sales, we would like to give input in the sphere of influence, protection, economic aid, and most importantly, weaponry, including tanks, machine guns, submarines, and bombers. Whichever country's offer is our favorite will gain a massive oil deal which can increase their military power and sphere of influence.
 * Federation Dip: As one of the largest oil producing nations on the planet the Federation offers to bring Saudi Arabia in to Corner the Market. With alot of German Tech among other things in our hands we can establish a powerful and valuable partnership
 * British Diplomacy: We offer to protect Saudi Arabia in war times and are willing to trade gold, silver, and other valuable resources that come from our African colonies. Along with that we will give British technology, war equipment, and help to spread the English language and literature in the Arabian Peninsula.
