Axis vs Allies: Revolutions (Map Game)

Hello, and welcome to the fourth installment of the Axis Vs Allies series. The last few games, while they were successes, only one did finish and the UN pages and Diplomacy pages were not used very often. I hope to change that this game. Also, I hope all you guys know what I'm getting on with Axis vs Allies, Axis vs Allies: Reloaded, then Axis vs Allies: Revolutions :).

Now, to the game: 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.

Rules
1. We are going to limit the nations count to one, as that when a person gets two countries; they usually neglect the other one.

2. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. . . IS NOT IT! But you must be plausible.

3. Nuclear programs may start in 1940.5 We will use Random.org to determine who starts it first and who gets it. Also, it will take at least four years to develop nukes if you are one of the “Big Cheese”. (US, Germany, Soviets, Japan)

4. One Half year per day.

5. Make a profile on the Diplomacy Page.

6. You can be an occupied nation and declare independence.

7. We will have resolutions/stuff when the UN is created at United Nations Page.

8. For now, I am the mapmaker.

9. New turns start at 00:00:01 UTC.

10. We go by half-years.

11. As for nuke use, the last game was ruined because of implausible use of nukes (admittedly, I was one of them), so while I won’t be making a “rule” on nuke use, USE YOUR HEAD! And moderators will be able to roll back edits.

12. Game is archived every 15 years.

13. On the United Nations page, which will be created around 1945-47. There will be a Security Council, with five permanent members, and ten impermanent members. To keep things simple, the impermanent members will rotate on Mondays. It is a three year term. Look at: United Nation Rules for more information. For the non-permanent Security Council, I will decide every turn with Random.org.

Map "rules"
A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "success:"
 * 1) Always copy the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * 2) Make all nations different colours.
 * 3) Try to make one for each half-year.
 * 4) Coloured circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
 * 5) It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as this to get inspiration.

Changes, Issues and Complaints
Issues cleared.AP (talk) 19:35, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Except (not meaning to sound rude) the fact that the North Republic (Iceland) brought Greenland.

I updated the map to included the Icelandic possessions (Greenland), Turkish protectorates (former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Hungary), the released African colonies (French Central Africa, West Africa, Nigeria, and Madagascar), and fixed issues with the map such as the weird misplaced color pixels.

1964.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to research military technology. Two aircraft carriers are sent to the Arabian Gulf while two more stay behind. The first nuclear submarine is also launched, named the ROKS Pyongyang. Korea requests either the American, Canadian or Soviet governments to allow the sub to use their ports for an under-Arctic journey. Meanwhile, dissent again rises up as the people see that money is being poured into military development much more than public services and infrastructure.
 * Soviet D: The Soviet Union would allow Korea to use Vladivostok, being the only major Russian Pacific Coast.
 * The United States offers two southern Alaskan ports of Korea's choice.
 * Korean D: We will use Anchorage and return back to Vladivostok. Thank you for your help.
 * The Soviet Union continues with its economic and political reforms, which helps the growing economy of the Soviet Union, making it one of the largest in the world, behind Japan and the United States. Research into all modern technologies in the scientific, military, medical, and social classes continue. Seeing the Koreans have developed a nuclear submarine, the Soviet Navy begins to design their own nuclear submarine. The Soviet Navy increases the amount of destroyers, cruisers and frigates, as well as submarines. In the Siberian Tundra, development of geothermal power plants and natural gas plants begin. Working and living conditions for all jobs in the Soviet Union are improved. The Space Program is deterred from landing a man on the moon to a satellite communication network, space station and space shuttles. CIS Membership is offered to Algeria, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Congo, Nigeria, Liberia, Morocco, and Italy.
 * Turkish SECRET D: The Turks understand that the Soviets are not interested in a conflict with Japan. However, we do understand that you have ambitions, and those ambitions are to spread Communism and socialism in your sphere of the globe. Our proposition to you is to crush Japan and Korea, and begin your spread of influence in China, along with the aid of Turkey and the MEF. We understand that three superpowers cannot share a planet together, but how about two? We look forward to your response.
 * Soviet SECRET D: We have no problem with Korea. It's Japan that's the main thorn in the side of the Soviet Union. In a hypothetical situation - by hypothetical, we mean the destruction of Japan - East Asia revolves around Japan and the E.A.T.P.S. or whatever the organization name is. Should Japan be crushed - by crushed, we mean severely limited in terms of military - then the political alliance in East Asia would surely buckle and collapse under its own weight, and then the Soviets move in and establish influence in Eastern Asia. So we will SECRETLY support you with a Lend-Lease Program, which includes oil shipments from the oil, medicine, weapons, food, and other supplies.
 * Turkish SECRET D: Agreed. This exchange never happened.
 * Italian Diplomacy: Italy secretly offers to coordinate with the USSR against the American lead pack of pigs should war ever break out and offers troops in any Soviet-Japanese War. Italy acknowledges the fact I can not be a superpower, but SECRETLY wants to put America and its puppets back in its place while reuniting Germany.


 * I don't have no 'puppets, you two timing ignorant Mafia dude. The Soviet Union actually has puppets and client states, and calls them that. I have a little something called "allies." I have no control over their government, therefore I have no puppets. The Soviet authoritarian regime appoints SOVIET COMMUNISTS to rule over the former democratic nations of HUNGARY, AUSTRIA, POLAND, EAST GERMANY, FINLAND, ROMANIA, and last but not least, IRELAND.
 * Soviet SECRET D: We thank Italy for their support and promise that you will be properly awarded.
 * Jap D: the government proposes a final peace attempt to keep peace in Asia you realize any war will destroy both our nations right, you have no way of doing damage to the home islands the same way I have no chance of pushing deep into Russia.
 * Soviet D: It's not Asia I'm interested in. I'm only supporting my ally, Turkey. This is my only request: allow Turkey to have its sphere of influence in the Middle East. Japan has East Asia, the United States has North America and Western Europe, the Soviet Union has Eastern Europe and Cuba, and Argentina and Brazil have South America. So why can't Turkey have the Middle East. It's plain and simple. Japan and the US leave Turkey to the Middle East and the USSR will back down.
 * A Communist economy? And anyway, Turkey should never have brought this up cause Turkey doesn't know of the impending doom. Any too the who, all the nations reject your offers.
 * It's not a Communist economy. If you read my posts, you would notice reforms which help loosen control of the economy, and is more of OTL Chinese economy system. Enclavehunter (talk) 01:45, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean capitalism poorly hidden behind a thin veil of Communism? ~Viva
 * Additionally, this is diplomacy between Turkey and the Soviet Union. Not Turkey, the Soviet Union, and the United States; who I should point out doesn't have dominion over secret diplomacy. ~Viva
 * Oh yeah? Well, I'm a mod, and you can't have a discussion about something you don't know about.
 * Well now. Since you're a mod, please explain what implausibility is in this diplomacy that warrants it being crossed out. Because I DO know about the Japanese and Americans are up to something because Japan has been threatening Turkey with invasion, my secret police caught their spies, and their mobilization efforts are clear as freakin' daylight. ~Viva
 * SS, it's pretty damn obvious when a country's preparing for war and mobilizing. It's perfectly fine for Turkey to mobilize.
 * It's not like the news is screaming "JAPAN IS MOBILIZING." So you really wouldn't know unless you were metagaming. And what spies could you have captured? If spies weren't sent, found they cannot be. Simple.
 * Japan: Japan readies for the campaign to come and massive build up continues. Studies into nuclear fission begin for a more efficient nuclear energy power production. Extensive production of new military hardware continues and the radar system is upgraded with a central detection handled by computers to allow quicker reactions. All research programs are continued and the green revolution reaches its pinnacle. The Imperial forces begin large scale defensive maneuvers to the north and military exercises are launched throughout the Gobi Desert to prepare for the war in the Middle East. The first super carrier is completed and another two are put forth. The navy continues to expand, mainly the air force. With the landing on the moon plans to expand Japanese presence begin. the economy and industry continue to expand throughout East Asia.
 * Chinese SECRET D: We ask Japan to train our military.
 * Turkey: The Turks and their protectorates place their militaries on high alert, and prepare themselves for the coming war. The nuclear arsenal is readied for usage, and the strategic bomber fleet is sent away from of the Turkish territory to an unknown location. Nuclear bomb buildup begins. Pakistan is approached with an offer for membership in the Middle Eastern Federation, and Afghanistan is offered the same deal as well. The Turks' first nuclear aircraft carrier is finally completed, along with a sister ship that is also completed in another drydock (Remember when I began construction of a sixth and seventh aircraft carrier a few years back?). Both are assigned missions in the Indian Ocean, along with half of the Turkish navy. The nuclear power plants damaged in the botched sabotage attempt in 1963 are repaired, and back online. The UAE is offered a final chance to join the MEF. Elsewhere, the Turks amass a large invasion force to attack the remaining regions of Persia, and a second force to deal with the UAR. The missile shield is activated, and the military awaits the war.
 * You don't know anything of this war, Japan and the US planned it secretly. Pakistan, Afghanistan and the UAR are suspicious of you and would not join. Moreover, there is no such thing as "conquest and reconciliation" as much as you'd like to believe so.
 * On the crossing out of the mobilization and preparation of war topic: That doesn't mean he can't mobilize his military. There is a number of clues that shows that war is near: Mobilization of other nation's militaries, increase in foreign presence in the Middle East, military build up, and other clues. So I believe it's allowed for Viva to mobilize his army at any time, and can't be restricted, because two nations secretly plan for war. Enclavehunter (talk) 08:57, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the third issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2; Miko, Koishi and Kogasa manage to figure out all the clues and also find out where the suspect could be hiding - in China, so the three take a train. Though along the way, face many danmaku battles, by the end of this issue Koishi, Kogasa and Miko reach China and arrive in Lanzhou. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Italy: Italy continues military and nuclear bomb buildups, now owning 217 nuclear weapons. 45 more are given to Turkey, giving the Turks a grand total of at least 90 nukes. Funding of anti-American rebels in West Germany continues and weapons begin to be funneled into West Germany to fund the rebels there. Mexico is offered an alliance as is Brazil and Argentina.
 * NO. Italy does NOT, I repeat, does NOT have 217 nukes. Ban vote, my fellows mods and shmods. There's no such thing as an anti-American rebel in West Germany cause West Germany has its own government.
 * China: Military is being built up and the dragon tank is completed. Nuclear research continues.
 * Netherlands: Netherlands increases defense, military and the navy. Some new harbors are built as old ones are repaired.
 * Argentina: Continue to modernise the military as soon as possible and ask for joint land and naval exercises with the USA in the case that war begins. Argentina completes its rocket program and begins mass production. Many nuclear shelters are complete across the entire nation and some more continue in the north. The history of our nation is stuck in it. Chile border is slightly fortified, the two additional carriers are complete, eight carriers are now operational and other ships begin to be built. Argentina begins to build a SAM system.
 * The USA agrees, and offers Argentina GO-COLD membership as well as aid in becoming the most influential nation in South America.
 * Argentina accept both American offers.
 * Romania: As tension rises, Romania begins to build boarder defenses. Anti-air, guard towers and anti-tank are all being produced as trade tariffs rise in Romania to support the costs. Peace organizations are being sent around the nation to prevent revolts or unhappiness as military spending is almost doubled. By 1970 the government wishes to secretly have at least 30 nukes. Romania also sends turkey a formal letter of invitation for an embassy, wishing to keep in good relations.
 * North Republic: Project Baldr continues. Training of military and computer technology research continues. The North Atlantic Treaty of Oceanic Countries (NATOC) is signed between Quebec, the People's Republic of Ireland and the North Republic. (They are both my allies so I did Random. org 50/50) The idea of this organisation is to promote peace an prosperity in the North Atlantic. It helps of course that the North republic is Japanese leaning, Quebec, American and the PRI a friend of the USSR. We pursue better relations with Sweden and ask France again about the Faroe Islands.
 * The United States continues to build up its military. The United States offers the UAR protection from the Turkish in any case of war whatsoever, should the US see it justified. The long proposed Washington DC Amendment is ratified, and America's second nuclear submarine is completed.

1965

 * Korea: The world's first nuclear submarine completes its first journey, named Operation Sunshine. The submarine traveled from Anchorage to under the Arctic and to the North Pole. It then returned to the port of Vladivostok, where it was restocked. It then finally came back to Korea. Military forces continue to be placed on high alert as protests again grow higher. Riots continue in major cities, again with much of the military siding with the protesters. The protesters wish the Korean government to cut ties with Japan, as they see Japan as one of Korea's worst enemies.
 * Turkish SECRET D: The Turkish government wishes to provide the Korean people with weapons and ammunition as well as military training to combat the Japanese in the event a military confrontation.
 * Alarmed by the recent developments in Korea, the Japanese government requests that the Korean government reaffirm their friendship with Japan and the government offers the people of Korea yet another apology for the occupation the old regime had subjugated them to and requests that the Korean people state their problems with the Japanese Embassy so that relations can improve through solving the problems through cooperation.ouch you really got me were it hurts I can't fight a war abroad if my relations with allies become shaky I will be focusing on solving this crisis before I head abroad.
 * America will help Japan pwn Korea if either Korea or Turkey tries anything funny. Just saying.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Japan: With the recent events in Korea and the tensions with the Soviets the Japanese realize a war with Turkey at the moment would be unwise and counter productive to what Japan is trying to accomplish in east Asia, through the creation of a truly free and cooperative alliance in Asia. The Mobilization is slowed down and slowly reversed, a secret message is sent to the Americans stating that Japan wont be participating in the invasion and should the Americans go through with the war Japan will only be able to provide diplomatic support and veto any attempts to denounce it in the U.N. The previous political restrictions to certain parties are lifted but the Communist and ultra-nationalist groups are still watched over carefully and. all projects are continued and advanced, east Asia continues to receives funds for economic improvement due to the massive economic benefits coming in but they are slightly relaxed since local productivity is already being achieved and since through regional trade everything is increasing. Exploration of possible oilfields in the Chinese republics begin lead by the Manchu-Japanese Oil Inc. The New Yen is designed to serve as a formal currency in the customs union between Japan and Manchuria. In a formal statement Japanese Prime Minister Yamamoto declares that Japan will withdrawn from the increasingly turbulent situation in the Middle East and in the west to focus on maintaining stability and harmony with in east Asia and with its allies, which is considered a key factor in the current Japanese policies of friendship in Asia. The military while slowly demobilized remains on high alert in case violence should appear to the north or in the Korean peninsula. construction of a general same system across Japan and its allies begins. The naval upgrade is finally completed and it remains the most advanced in the world and the second largest by little at this point but more ships are still produced, the construction of the nuclear sub continues. research into bio-fuels begin, as does thermal and other alternative energy sources. an idea begins to appear within the the high command of taking advantage of the EMP and research begins within the nuclear industry as well as the electronic companies to come up with a decent device but the usage is far from today. The first laser is made after years of research, and research to begin applying it to military hardware begins. the bullet train is completed and its first trip is made with Emperor Akihito and his family aboard, the train is considered a monument to Japanese technological accomplishments along with the nuclear bomb, the space program, and the computer. Restrictions on the Chinese states are slowly lifted and a merger is proposed to the Diet by the liberal coalition. It is approved and soon the Nanjing regime and the North Chinese republic will be united into the Republic of East China with a capital of Nanjing. a few more nuclear plants are put forward for construction inside and outside of Japan. the cultural revival continues and many decisions taking by previous Japanese governments are put into question since the restoration, but utmost respect is maintained towards all previous leaders and loyalty to the imperial family remains absolute throughout society. The Japanese government approaches the Russians with a possibility of finally ending the long time rivalry and finally sitting at the table to lay things out and move towards greater cooperation and friendship. The gang war on the main is finally over with the final defeat of the Chinese gangs, but the previously supported paramilitary group the Tiger faction begins to speak out against Japanese influence within Han lands, and the change the name of the organization to the dragon's awakening and create an official political party within both Nanjing Regime and within the North Chinese republic, along with a military wing that for the moment remains dormant.
 * Would Japan be interested in building the Pacific Space Station with the United States (OTL ISS, really) as a symbol of our mighty power and good relationship?
 * Jap D: Japan agrees.
 * Soviet D: We agree to look into ending rivalry between our two nations and also look forward to greater cooperation.
 * Turkish D: We thought your empire was a truly free and cooperative alliance.
 * The United States divides the GO COLD into three separate groups, all of which are still in the GO COLD, however. The North American Democratic Alliance (America, Quebec, Mexico, the Central American nations, and Hispaniola), the European Union (Great Britain, France, Spain, West Germany, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden), and the African League (South Africa, Madagascar, West African Republic, United Arab Republic, Algeria, Morocco), and the South American Republic Organization (Argentina and Colombia). The military buildup continues. JFK is re-inaugurated. America secretly builds new nukes, but on the front, America is decreasing its number of nukes. Nukes are stationed in North Ireland. Artemis 10 lands on the moon, the third American thingum on the moon. Artemis 11 is launched towards the end of the current six month period. Artemis 12 will launch at the end of the year. The current plan is to launch ten more thingums on the moon, two every other year for eight years, and then two more after a two year period. However, the last few will really be going to set up an orbital station around the moon, which should be done in the 1990s. America announces plans to build a space station around Earth, and asks the Soviet Union and Japan if they want to help. America offers the North Republic nuclear weapons (cause I think we's friends like we should be, unlikely you).
 * Soviet D: We would like help.
 * Help in what? Do you mean to help? If yes, that's great.
 * Yeah. That's what I mean. To help with the space station. Enclavehunter (talk) 00:35, November 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * North Republic: Project Baldr is completed. The North Republic is now totally carbon neutral. However as demand is expected to increase, planning mission is granted to build new stations as and when in pre selected sites. A general election is held, with every person voting (as is the law). As expected the Green Party sweep the elections, winning 60 out of 64 seats in Iceland and 15 out of 37 in Greenland, with a total of 75 out of the 101 seats. Bjarn Nordal becomes High Minister. In a show of goodwill he appoints Anders Bergstrom (leader of the Labour party, who fell from power, currently holding 16 seats) as President. In his inauguration speech he makes it clear that the North Republic will not deploy troops to Turkey, but will instead give impartial humanitarian aid to both sides. He orders research into recycling and solar power. Research on Computers is continued.
 * Argentina: continue to build up its army, the companies of Argentina also begun to install themselves in Africa and in the rest of Latin America with the goal of increasing the nation wealth and help the hosting nation to develop themselves. The cars are now everywhere as a lot of people own them and the cities begun to grow as many Latinos from across South America go in our nation to find job. A invitation to make Paraguay and Bolivia join the Latin American confederation in exchange of technological advance and economic support is sent.(1-5 yes, 6-10 no, Bolivia 8-no, Paraguay 8-no), 
 * The Soviet Union: The Soviet Union constructs two more destroyers and cruisers, while three new nuclear submarines are laid down. The T-80 is released to the Soviet public, and makes it one of the most powerful main battle tanks in the world. The prototype stealth aircraft is tested, but fails to get detected by radar. Designers go back and determine what went wrong and how to fix it. Taking in the footsteps of the North Republic, the Soviet Ministry of the Environment asks for research into recycling. The Premier, seeing it a beneficial way to reduce our impact of the environment, agrees. Research into EMP, lasers, and VTOL begins. Another duo of satellites are launched between January and May of 1965, while three more are scheduled between June of 1965 and February of 1966. Humanitarian aid is sent to nations, such as Afghanistan, and poorer nations in Africa.
 * Brazil:The City of Nova Arcadia is Inaugurated as the Administrative center of the Brazilian Federation, the United states is asked if Brazil can joins the Go-Cold Organization, the President Quadros, continues the increase of military and production of Gauss weaponry, as means to defend the nation and its old allies (Bulgaria, Persia and Romania,) in case of conflict in Eastern Europe, while this population from Venezuela, Guyana and Colombia, as well as from Angola, begin arriving at Brazil as its economy begins to grow for the Gauss weaponry production, as well the government of the Federation, Grants asylum to every citizen from the poorer African countries as far as the come to the federation to look for labor options, as well as to increase military production, several universities are opened through Brazil, and Hospitals in the deepest cities on the Amazonas, like in Letizia on Colombia Menor
 * Turkey: The Turkish government seeks to expand its sphere of influence into Africa, reaching out to the countries of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan, as well as Pakistan, offering to support it against India should a war break out (RNG: Ethiopia 9-yes, Somalia 6-no, Sudan 8-yes Pakistan 3-no). The construction of a new batch of nuclear missiles begins in secret outside of city of Ankara. Research into maser technology begins alongside of unmanned aerial technology to compete with the rest of the world, and development of EMP resistance materials is given strong priority. The Turkish government announces the formation of the Middle Eastern Defense Coalition (MEDC), which is to succeed the Middle Eastern Alliance. Development of a new series of weapons, equipment, and defensive technologies to equip the armies of the MEDC begin in Turkey. Finally, a second announcement is made is that Turkey has began work on developing its own space research program known as Türk Uzay Ajansı (TUA), or Turkish Space Agency.
 * mmmm, I don't know about Ethiopia, they are Christian and have remained independent since Roman ages, so not sure if the population would agree Sine dei gloriem (talk) 23:47, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * More than half of the population is Muslim. And it was occupied by Italy breaking that record, and stomped by Britain in the 1860s I believe (the emperor was Tewodros II). Anyway, many nations have been independent for centuries, yet I see them joining GO-GOLD and the E.A.C.P.S. like flies to honey. China, a nation that has remained independent for centuries, just rolled over when Japan conquered it. And most importantly, I asked politely and I'm offering them money and technology (which they direly need). ~Viva
 * I still don't know, in this timeline Ethiopia remained independent in the 1935 colonial war because, Dean didn't make it happen, and im not sure about half population being Muslim Sine dei gloriem (talk) 00:14, November 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bleh, you're right. About a third of the population is Muslim, but them being independent still doesn't serve as a major factor for joining an alliance. Especially when they are benefiting from it (many nations actually joined the British Empire to escape war, poverty, starvation, and or to even gain prestige). ~Viva
 * Nyope nyope nyope. Ye doth not doeth R(eth)N(eth)G(eth)s. Jobs of the mods that be. RNG: 1-4 Yes, 6-10 No, because there's little chance anyways. Don't call it bias. Ethiopia: 7, No. Somalia: 3, Yes. Sudan: 9, No. Pakistan: I'm not even doing this one. Pakistan said no way too many times already. Stop asking. And all anyone gets by joining the Turkish sphere of influence is a bad name and disdain from the American and Japanese sphere. Only the Soviet sphere likes you, and that may very well change.
 * Don't know if you noticed, but that little list at the top shows that I run the algorithms too. They also getting guns, money,and power. So I don't think they care. And reread your stuff. Pakistan said no once, so "way too many times" is either a mistake or lie. ~Viva

1965.5

 * Korea: Protesters and rogue elements of the military storm the presidential residence and take the president hostage. The National Assembly Building is stormed as well, and most legislators taken captive. A new government steps in, which is completely anti-Japanese. They immediately cut ties with Japan and put their forces on maximum readiness. (Sorry but I wanted to make the game interesting :P)
 * Jap D: The ambassador to Korea along with all Japanese Nationals are evacuated and the navy is placed on maximum alert along with the army. Japan also offers asylum to the previous government and any who are against the recent Korean coup.
 * Turkish SECRET D: The Turkish government offers economic and military aid to the Korean people to break free of Japanese occupation and oppression.
 * Dude, you realize there's no one for you tell this? There's no government, and even if there is one, you don't have its phone number or address.
 * Same for the rebels in Syria, Libya, half the rebel movements in known world, and weird guys calling themselves Hamas. Odd world we live in. ~Viva
 * Yes it is. It's funny how nations like Turkey like talking to no one in particular.
 * The seizure of power and refuses to acknowledge the new government, Korea is suspended from the E.A.T.S.P. and an economic and arms embargo is declared by Japan and its allies, it requests that the USA follow suit. The army is left on high alert and the Empire of Manchuria also mobilizes under the justification that a reactionary government has appeared along its border Japanese troops are deployed to Manchuria to help protect it. The situation in China is also becoming a bit dire as the Dragon's Awakening begins mobilizing large protests in favor of Chinese unification and the destruction of Japan, while the armies of the puppet regimes remain loyal and a large part of the populace non-belligerent many join the protests and a series of terrorist acts begin to appear in China, and even a few in Manchuria,the government stunned by the new turn of events is forced to request that the whole E.A.T.S.P. prepare for what looks to be a large anti-guerrilla war on the horizon in China as a whole. Troops are deployed to the mainland to help control the situation. Plans to begin construction of an extensive space program continue as another satellite is deployed. the prototype stealth jet is made but will be tested later in the year to avoid any malfunction. Meanwhile, all other projects are continued. A new military plan is designed designated Operation scorched Asia based around the immobilization of Japan's enemies as quickly as possible so that a occupation and anti-guerrilla operations can begin at once. industrial growth continues and without the supplying of resources to Korea the resources are sold to the rest of the East Asia region reforming allowing a new surplus. Koreans in Japan are allowed to remain should they choose but are required to accept regular police checks and must reaffirm their loyalty to Japan. the ultra-nationalists use the recent occurrences as a propaganda tool claiming the pleasant policies of the liberals have brought it into a crisis. the construction of the same system continues. The nationwide anti-espionage campaign continues.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * France: The military is being upgraded and we tell Italy that if you continue to aid we will declare war and we build and test our first nuke
 * You have nukes. Thank America. Also, who's playing France?
 * North Republic: Scientists at the IIT unveil the worlds first 'Microprocessor', the IIT Odin. It has 1500 silicon transistors and is 1/7th of an inch by 1/5th of an inch. (Before all you history buffs get mad... In OTL the first microprocessor, created in 1971, had 800 more transistors and was smaller. I have built on Japan's base research for several years. America says it thinks it will have a primitive PC by 1968. Japan is at a similar tech level.) We cut all ties with Korea, freeze Korean assets and order the deportation of any Korean people found in the North Republic. We ask Japan to send some communication satellites into a Highly_elliptical_orbit. We will of course pay. Project Baldr has given us surplus electricity. and to this end we inquire if any Scandinavian country wish to purchase some. Denmark agrees to cut Debt in exchange for some. (Random. Org 1-5 3,4,5 yes, 12 no: 3 yes).
 * Jap D: Japan agrees.
 * The Soviet Union refuses to acknowledge the new Korean government, due to trying to establish good relations with Japan, and freezes all Korean assets, and shuts the border down until further notice. Research into lasers, EMP-proofing, VTOL, robotics, recycling, and other high-tech technology continues. Three more satellites are launched, which results in one part of the Soviet Union to communicate with the other. The new prototype stealth bomber is a success and the Premier orders the production of two stealth bombers to test their effectiveness against radar. Research into unmanned aerial vehicles begins, as well as medical technology. The Soviet Navy produces three more cruisers, two destroyers, and one nuclear submarine. Anti-missile defenses systems nicknamed the "White Dome" is erected across the country, particularly concentrated around Moscow, St. Petersburg, Marmansk, and Vladivostok.
 * Turkish D: The Turkish government would like to offer the Soviet Union a chance to integrate our defense systems together, and possibly work side-by-side in any future endeavours it you wish.
 * Turkey: Turkey secretly begins work on a new kind of missile to counter some of the weapons developed by their enemies (I certainly won't be telling you which, but you'll find out in five years), and a number of secret projects under the oversight of the Geleceğin Teknolojileri Programı, or Future Technologies Program. The navy is expanded to counter any threats in the Indian Ocean, and weapons and equipment are sent to the members of the MEDC to begin rebuilding their militaries.
 * You have to tell us which. How are we going to if its plausible or not? Anyways, it ain't like anyone gonna know. So tell us.
 * Don't worry, it's totally plausible. Besides, people are going to know, since I began working on EMP-resistant materials, Japan and the USSR began working on the same thing the next year. I'm protecting my assets. Who are you so I can tell you elsewhere. I'm too lazy to scan through the edit history. ~Viva
 * I was the one who started the EMP research actually.
 * Indeed you did. But I started EMP protective research. I don't shoot at something that I can't protect myself from later.
 * The Great Scrawdadoland I am.
 * The United States continues to build up its military. Korea is excommunicated. The Korean Embassy is closed, the American Embassy is closed, etc etc. All Korean assets are frozen. The Korean nation is declared unstable and the United States offers to deploy troops to help stabilize the region. Stuff happens. Technology advances. Things. First man to walk in space. (LOL so late.) Gemini 13, Artemis 12 and Artemis 13 are all launched at separate times in the year time period. The Ares program starts. Mariner 7 and Mariner 8 explore the surface of Mars. Mariner 9 and Mariner 10 will come to Mars next year.
 * Jap D: The government considers the current situation - one that must but dealt with by the E.A.T.S.P. but should the situation turn sour aid may be requested.

1966
Check out the new and improved algorithm in the talk page.
 * Korea: The new government nationalizes all Japanese property and business inside Korea, as well as American and Soviet. The two nuclear submarines are upgraded to be primitive ballistic missile launch submarines, capable of firing Juchae B1 missiles that contain 200 kt nuclear missiles. It has a range of 800 nautical miles, or 1400 kilometers. They are capable of hitting any target in Japan or Manchuria, as well as Vladivostok. They warn that any act of violence against Korea will result in the incineration of Japanese targets. All 4 aircraft carriers are deployed to the East Sea, as well as the four hunter killer assault submarines. To show their resolve, the Juchae B1 is tested, and impacts several dozen miles beyond Japan. The Korean military is mobilized, and everything is placed on high alert.
 * Jap D: Should a single Japanese city burn or a citizen get killed the whole of Korea will be burned.You realize that should I go all out on you Korea will lay in dust and burned to ashes right?
 * Korea: MAD. I have the capability to wipe out most of your cities and you do too.
 * Hungary: A new type of automatic rifle, is put into production, hopefully to be developed with Turkey or Yugoslavia. (Is Hungary a democratic, Communist or authoritarian type of country since Turkey became the new Superpower aligned with Hungary?) Propaganda targets Czechoslovakia and Romania has been seen, but are denied by any Hungarian representatives to international, and pro-Fascism groups grow, based on memories of Hungary's Golden Years, prior to the Soviet Invasion of the 40's.
 * Romanian Diplomacy: Romania invites Hungary for an embassy on Romanian soil.
 * Authoritarian.
 * The Soviet Union, seeing the aggressiveness of the of the Koreans, adopts strategic bombing methods. Non-nuclear - but enough explosive power to sink an aircraft carrier - missiles are aimed towards targets that are used to support major industrial, economic centers. Power stations, bridges, hydroelectric plants, oil refineries, airfields, communication centers, fire and police stations, oil storage facilities, tank yards, SAM and missile sites, train stations, rail yards, railroad tracks, and most importantly, the fleet of aircraft carriers. Research into lasers, EMP-proofing and weapons, continue, while the two stealth bombers are developed, and tests flights are scheduled for 1967. Research into digital-flight begins, while research into UAV's continue.
 * Korea: Korea has no fight with the USSR. I propose a nonaggression treaty that would benefit both our nations. Korea does not wish to fight the USSR. To show our truthfulness, we will un-target Vladivostok from our nuclear missiles.
 * Soviet: The Soviet Union agrees to the nonaggression pact.
 * The United States and the GO-COLD see the Soviets as selfish and unwilling to protect their ideologies. They shall give up everything to protect themselves, perhaps even their own land. Do the Soviets value more their integrity as a nation or their existence as a two-timer?
 * Korea: Bella gerant alii.
 * Soviet: Two-timer? All were doing is ensuring that no war breaks out between Korea and the Soviet Union. Do we recognize them as the official Korean government? No. Do we support them in their militaristic goals? No. So yes, we do believe in our integrity as a nation and we will never give up land to a nation.
 * Korea: What would you be doing if I had a nuke targeted at San Diego?
 * Be busy blowing your whole country with 75 of 400 nukes.
 * ...And have the radiation make most of the East Sea and Japan uninhabitable. And besides, is it really worth it? Obliterating my country for a major city of your own?
 * Yeah. Seems fair enough. You touch my land, lose all your land. And yer nukes too. Anyways, no one is insane enough to be using nukes. Four nukes have been launched in the past, with horrific results. Everyone is too scared to launch a nuke.
 * Brazil: Seeing the events in the East Asia, the federation begins asking an alliance with the Japanese Empire and wishes to open communication with other East Asian nations.
 * Japan: All research projects are continued and Japan continues to maintain a solid naval defence and the construction of the same system is nearly completed. More nuclear weapons are produced. The government in response to the Koreans to push them to back down, launch a dummy missile which lands a mere 30 Km off the coast of Seoul and a series of naval, aerial exercises are held. Japan begins supplying and training the former government to launch a counter coup and restore balance to the peninsula. Yamamoto meets with leaders of the opposition and with members of the high command to discuss what steps must be taking, with the Korean crisis and with the growing insurgency in China it is decided that a stall should be made with Korea through promised mutual destruction to prevent any Korean aggression while the growing problem in China is dealt with. In China a series of tourist attacks each more violent then the last continue as the Dragon's awakening demands the complete withdrawal of Japan from all of former China even Manchuria, something which both the Manchu and Japanese governments refuse. The military is once again deployed to China for the first time since the 50's (Can someone make a mod event where the Dragon's awakening launch a coup in Free China or at least begin acting out of Free China with Chinese support so that a large war in Asia can start. I'm itching to get involved in a major war.) The infamous I.S.R.F. restart their operations in both East China and Free China with the hopes of breaking the movement before it grows to much. Their is a loss in earnings of companies that had installations in Korea and their stocks plummet but the rest of the East Asian Economy remains strong, another industrialization wave begins this time aiding Burma and Malaysia. Singapore begins to grow with an increase in business men from Japan, taking over the previously dominated British market. The Liberal Coalition restores the banning of the Ultra-nationalist party and any public meetings of the party will be repressed.
 * You know that getting a missile "within 30 km" is pretty bad, right?
 * read my post carefully as a warning not an actually attack more of a fear tactic.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Meanwhile, some railways continue construction and some others are finished.
 * Netherlands: The Navy is upgraded as is the police force as well. The Government jails some suspected Communists and goes after more.
 * Turkey: The Turkish military begins mobilizing for combat, calling on a force for 300,000 troops and 3,100 MBTs, and 200 tactical nukes for mission not yet defined by the government. The nation constructs additional nuclear weapons, and the GTP continues its research of the special missile program and EMP-buffering technology. Turkey announces that it will be launching a separate space station program, called the Nispet Space Station, which is to launch by 1971. The Turkish military sends Hungary and the other MEDC I61 Aslan assault rifles (OTL HK33s) for their militaries' forces.
 * Hungarian Diplomacy: We thank our Turkish friends for sending the MEDC I61 Aslan rifles, which are being tested out in Budapest, to be put into the Hungarian Armed Forces as the official service rifle by 1969. We also want to help train astronauts to assist in the the Turkish Space Program.
 * Turkish Response: We would be happy to accept them into the program.
 * North Republic: Research into solar panels, computers and recycling continues. Research on cloning begins. We offer to buy the Faroe islands off France. We ask for help in setting up a space program, for we believe that humanity must eventually colonise the stars in order to survive. The Armed forces are set to readiness in case of war.
 * Romania: The government continues to secretly build nukes. Coastal defense is priority and anti-air and beach front bunkers are built. Bomb shelters are built outside of major cities. Private Prisons are built and Romania opens its prisons for international use. Romania sends Hungary a invitation of an embassy on Romanian soil. Research is also put into electronics.
 * France: Some civilians are found shot. We blame the Irish and we declare on Ireland


 * Netherlands Response: The Dutch government frowns upon this declaration of war and plea that France not to go to war with Ireland for the good of Europe and Ireland to make reparations for the deaths of the murdered Citizens.
 * Ireland is Communist. Declaring war on them would start WW-III.
 * Not to mention why the holy f**k France would declare war on a country for a couple dead people.
 * BS implausogasm.
 * ​Argentina: Continue to modernise and develop the military as fast as we can. A slight improvement is said to have occurred in the economy of Latin America and and south-west Africa. The Gauss cannons are slightly improved and the energy needed for those is slightly decreased. The USA are offer a technological exchange. Closer ties between Latin America and East Asia is proposed to strengthen both of our regions.
 * India:  Declares war on the Bengali rogue state. This is after 20 years of non-stop armed forces building and naval tactics as well as its creation of its jet fighters and bombers. Crop yield is high and enables troops to be well fed. The economy continues to grow and expand. Many more factories are built and roads are re-built. Many dams are also completed and research into unknowns in the field of nuclear devices is begun. Nuclear devices begin to be built to keep pace with the research. However, most of the resources are being devoted to the war effort, and only army R&D funds are reaching the project, as the army hopes to be able to use a functioning nuke. Indian leaders then ask for a secret catch-up on events in the world as the Indians have been a little too inwardly in recent years.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The government offers to supply the latest firearm designs and blueprints for some of the more recent technology developed by the Japanese, in exchange for a promise that India will supply troops for the intervention in China.
 * Indian diplomacy: India asks what is going on in China?
 * Implausogasm in India's part.
 * Read my posts from previous turns and you'll find out. Basically, a group I funded is now causing havoc on the mainland, a large insurrection to try to expel Japan. Figured it was about time to make an event like that. Also, I've been itching to get into a guerrilla war.

1966.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to produce nuclear powered submarines and other naval forces, and another aircraft carrier is in the making. Korea now has 150 nuclear weapons, of which approximately 50 are placed on aircraft carriers, 90 on land, and 10 in submarines. Missile research continues, as does antiaircraft missiles. An anti-missile defense also begins to be developed.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Some new buildings are planned to be built, including a few very tall ones.
 * Hungary: In a shocking move, considering recent history, Hungarian President Pal Losonczi (I'm assuming Royalty no longer exists in this Hungary), visits Bucharest in the first diplomatic meeting between Hungary and Romania ever recorded, and open relations. Speaking with the Leader of the Romania, the Romanian Embassy will be opened up in Budapest, along with consulates in other cities in many parts of the Eastern portion of the country. (Also, who are our enemies and allies, Turkey? I can't find much information on what's going on since my return.) Meanwhile, plans to strengthen the military start, with the MEDC I61 Aslan assault rifle being implemented as the service rifle of the Honvédség. Though initially planned for 1969 implementation, with hostilities growing all over Europe, we want to buy 300,000 I61's, in a costly buy to modernize our military. (What would be a realistic size for the Armed Forces at the moment?)
 * Turkish D: The Turkish government has agreed to sell you the weapons at a third of the price, and provide you with modern equipment for the same price as well.
 * 500,000 troops appears good enough for your military. And check this out to see Turkey's foreign relations. ~Viva
 * North Republic: All research continues. We begin to look into a conclusive survey of all organisms in the north republic and their rarity. We again ask the French to buy the Faroe Islands. Construction begins on an aircraft carrier.
 * Since France is not answering, we will do an RNG. (1-5, Yes, 6-10 No) Result: 3. France agrees to sell the Faroe Islands to the North Republic for a reasonable price. France is not allowed to protest, they're miniscule islands and should belong to some Scandinavian country.
 * Netherlands: The Government disbands, jails and heavily punishes the Communist party and its members. The Army is doubled and receives upgrades. The Navy is doubled and introduces the HNLMS Walrus S2 which is a upgraded Walrus 1 class submarine. The Air force receives major upgrades as well.
 * France: Military is doubled and the Communist party is becoming more popular.
 * LOL Communism in France. Double military.
 * Japan: The government continues its military operations against the Dragon's Army and martial law is declared throughout East China by the national governments, terrorist attacks continue to grow and a series of gunfights break out across the region. Japan's allies Indonesia and Indochina begin supplying troops to help fight in southern China. The economy is slightly affected by the recent clashes but all business outside of China and Korea remain strong. research into all projects continue with a new computer model quite similar to the recent North Republic one is released, The Stealth plane is a complete success and production of the new plane begins. tensions with Korea remain high and the Diet demands that the coup leaders step down and allow the old government to take power. naval production continues and the construction of the nation's first nuclear aircraft carrier begins. Soon a prototype EMP Device will be ready for testing within a year. Meanwhile, two more communication satellites are sent into space and plans to start construction of the Imperial space station begin.
 * Brazil: The Gauss cannons are upgraded, being now able to shoot projectiles of 60 and 120 pounds per round, and using less energy, this and the building of the six and seven carriers impulse an attempt of building a greater influence sphere in Angola, offering aid, industrially and Militarily, in this Gabon, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Namibia, Angola, y Rep del Congo are invited to Join  (1-5, Yes, 6-10 No) Result: Gabon:9, Nigeria:6, Ghana:2, Togo:4, Namibia6, Angola:3, Rep Congo:8. The Result is that Ghana, Togo and Angola, Join the Pact of Janeiro or Pact of southern Atlantic . In other news, settlements begin increasing in Colombia Menor and Peru Menor, so as to bring it under Brazilian cultural standards. Brazil asks Hungary for an alliance, between both of us, and the military begins working on handheld Gauss rifles. The navy, army and Air force begin modernization, and two scientific expeditions are sent into Antarctica, as well that Brazil asks American aid on a Space program for the southern American nations. Brazil joins the Go COLD organization, Preparations for elections begin for next year as President Quadros wants a second period on presidency of the federation. Nuclear programs begin showing some success in developing Nuclear weaponry, yet none is made as the Scientists state that it currently is not known how to keep the bomb to continue detonating Industrialization begins as the President Quadros wants to make the Federation a World power (I want to be OTL Canada!)
 * You cannot do RNGs. And why would African nations even join a pact with Brazil? Also, you cannot hope to be anything more than OTL Spain.
 * Why not, Japan is a world power after World War II in our timeline, and I'm getting a small quantity of aid from the Americans, so it's possible - though really hard
 * I don't see why Brazil can't become a world power, Brazil in OTL now days is an emergent power next to India and China, and last game I turned Colombia into a world power by the 1980's. Nkbeeching, besides Brazil has a lot of potential in the right hands, shall we say they can become a world power by the 1980's like China did. Nkbeeching
 * OK, not Spain. Brazil.
 * Turkey: The Turks invite the Ethiopians, Eritreans and Sudanese governments to join the MEDC (RNG: 1-4 yes, 5-10 no: 6, 10, 4) Don't complain, I run the algorithms anyway. The Turks continue development of their technology and space program, and announce the completion of a launch pad in East Arabia. Additional troop build-up for unknown plans.
 * Soviet D: The Soviet Union proposes to merge the MEDC and CIS into a single multinational organization.
 * Turkish R: In light of the dangers posed by today's world, Turkey feels obliged to agree to the Soviet Union's proposal.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to research into lasers, EMP-proof, EMP weapons, medical, and other technological advances, especially Gauss weaponry. The first Soviet stealth bomber is a success, but due to their cost, the Premier orders only seven to be built for now. The Soviet Army and Air Force is modernized, while two more satellites are launched. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Somalia, and Kenya is offered membership into the CIS (RNG, please).
 * 1-4 yes, 5-10 No. Only Somalia and Kenya are possibly plausible. 5, 7.
 * Argentina: Continues to build up the military with the newest equipment. The nuclear technology development continues, with great progress. An expedition is also sent to Antarctica following Brazil and an international meeting to definitively divide Antarctica is called.
 * Brazil: We ask that if the Antarctic division meeting is done Brazil can get a portion of the continent under their sovereignty and request Argentina, to execute war games, and a free trading partnership.
 * Argentina D: Surely, we also agree to the two requests.
 * The United States shall attend.

1967

 * The United States continues to build up its military in case of war. The nuclear stockpile continues to build up in secret. The first primitive personal computer is developed. Only the government sees some use in it, and they buy some. A great tragedy strikes the nation. President Kennedy is shot in San Francisco, California. He is proclaimed dead the next day. Stuart Symington is proclaimed to be the president, but he too is killed in Columbus, Ohio. The government goes insane until President pro tempore of the Senate Robert Byrd is inaugurated as the 37th President.
 * The Speaker of the House of Representatives is second in line to the presidency after the vice president. You'd have to kill off the Speaker, too, if you wanted that to happen xD.--AP (Sorry all, I haven't logged in. I don't know why it doesn't let me. Could it be because I'm in Mexico?)
 * Actually, the Speaker only became second after a bill was passed in 1947 OTL. Which I did not pass ATL. So there. And yes, countries outside your regular range do give bad service. Happened to me in Labrador.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Harbours are improved as well.
 * North Republic: All research is continued. The Faroe islands are incorporated into the North Republic in a day of great ceremony and pomp. We send official commiserations to the USA on the murders.




 * Argentina: Sends his sympathy to the American people. The Antarctica conference is open and all the interested countries are invited to join, we ask for the OTL Argentina claim. The assassination of the American head of state makes the president of Argentina order the security to be increase in the territory. The military are also built up.
 * Soviet D: We lay claim to OTL Australia's Antarctica and we will attend the Antarctic Conference to ensure this.
 * America wants the unclaimed land OTL and the Pole. Map proposed seen above.
 * Land is offered to Japan.
 * The UK wants some land.
 * France wants some land.
 * Australia demands land.
 * New Zealand demands land.
 * Brazil is offered land.
 * Norway demands land.
 * Soviet D: We agree to the proposed borders on Antarctica.
 * Turkey: We wish to be included in the division of Antarctica.
 * The North Republic would like some land or failing that, rights to research stations, particularly around the pole.
 * Both shall get land.
 * Brazil demands some more land.
 * The Soviet Union lays claim to OTL Australia's claims in Antarctica. Meanwhile, the military is improved, and research into all modern technologies continues. The Premier and the Soviet People send their deepest condolences to the Americans.
 * Netherlands:The Netherlands begins doing military exercises - starting with the navy. Military power is increased and more upgrades are put into the military.
 * Brazil: The president sent his sympathies to the Americans for the death of President Kennedy. While this, the scientific outposts continue growing in Antarctica as some scientists begin researching superconductive metals as well that President Quadros wants to begin possible outposts for Martian-like environment training for a possible space agency from Brazil in the near future, while Brazil claims Norwar and the eastern British Antarctic.
 * Hungary: Closer ties with Romania and the Soviet Union are planned, especially with Turkey's close relations with the latter. Despite cold relations with the United States, President Losonczi sends his condolences to the United States, upon hearing news of the American President's death, and offers a three-day period of mourning. Hungarian Officials meet in Ankara, where they suggest that Turkey's closest allies that are not a part of the MEDC, join together, alongside the CIS, and make a new Super union, like an "Eastern Powers" or likewise. Mainly in an attempt to establish ourselves as the Superpower of Europe, and help balance the power away from Western Europe. This offer is given to Romania as well. In order to help modernize the Ground Forces and the Air Force, we accept Turkey's offer on the discount, and asking for more modern tanks and jet fighters from the Turks.
 * Turkish R: Your request shall be granted.
 * Japan: Renounces all claims to Antarctica based on logistical problems but in exchange requests that it be allowed to have research facilities throughout Antarctica. All research programs are continued and the SAM system is completed and connected to the computer database for better control, research into a way to communicate between computers through a network for military purposes. All counter insurgency operations are continued on the mainland. Japan offers its condolences to the States.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government detonates the Bombalar Tanrısı, or the God of Bombs, over the Indian Ocean. The 57 megaton blast becomes the largest in human history, amazing and terrifying the Turkish government. The government decided that no other bomb of similar magnitude shall be constructed, as it is too impractical to be used in military combat. The detonation does, however, provide its researchers valuable information on nuclear physics in regards to the actual energy released by the explosion, and it is hoped that such knowledge will help them produce "clean" nukes, that is to say, ones that do not produce nuclear fallout.
 * Korea: Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons. Another nuclear submarine is released, although it only carries two nuclear missiles. Bigger and smaller bombs continue to be made, while plans are made for bombs small enough to be carried by a civilian truck. (Sorry for not posting, I was away on vacation).

1967.5
Global Events: America welcomes long-time Senator Byrd as the new President. The Faroe Islands celebrate their return to a Scandinavian country. Nuclear radiation and waste is detected on the shores of India and some countries surrounding the Indian Ocean. They have not recognized the source.
 * Japan:?? A response team is sent immediately to the Indian coast to help study and determine the origins of the fallout. Troops in China are ever harassed by the growing number of insurgents. The high command authorizes a full scale military mobilization and deployment of heavy arms to the mainland to deal with what is now considered a full scale war on the mainland. Plans are drawn up to cut off the Chinese rebels from free China by means occupying the border. The Imperial forces slowly grow in numbers and the full power of the navy is awakened to protect the home islands from either insurgent attacks or from Korean incursions into national waters. Yamamoto, due to ailing health and growing Paranoia of political enemies, decides to step down from the position of prime minister. This comes as a great shock to the entire nation. He appoints with Imperial approval the previously unheard of Ishada Mizano as the new prime minister, Misano was the minister of Economy during the recent liberal government and is backed heavily by the Zaibatsu and military. The Diet also authorizes the high command to use the first EMP device over an area of East China completely controlled by the insurgents, it works wonders on their communication systems and mechanized units, but the movement is criticized by the Progress Party, which forms the opposition. All research programs continue and more stealth bombers and fighters are commissioned for construction. Japan's allies of Manchuria and Indonesia go onto high alert and begin deploying troops to China. The construction of the space station continues. All research programs are continued with breakthroughs being made in robotics and engineering; a prototype robot is designed at the Imperial Institute of Engineering and Robotics. The expansion of the anti-missile defence system begins to go throughout East Asia, and an ambitious project to eventually make a interdependent system based on land and space defences is approved by the High Command but will take years to develop. Japan formally offers Turkey a restoration of diplomatic relations and to end rivalry between the two nations due to Japanese problems closer to home, Japan will not intervene in Africa or the Middle East as long as Turkey stays clear of East Asia. Plans to build a new rifle based on the old bullpup gun (it will be similar to the OTL Chinese QBZ which in all honesty isn't that complicated of a design completely capable of creating at this time) and the new attack and transport choppers prove a high asset for the military and more are produced in large quantities. While the fighting in China grows in ferocity the armed forces prove extremely civilized in comparison to the previous conflict. The war in China is called the Sino Crisis in Japan and the E.A.T.S.P. while the insurgents call it the Patriotic War. The economy remains steady due to its simple diversity and interdependence with the other east Asian states, but the value of the East Asian stocks begins to decline. Industrial production starts going into overdrive to meet growing needs. The Imperial war machine, after more then a decade of silence, has finally begun moving again. The need for the computer network system hastens research to improve coordination for assaults. The first stages of Operation Scorched Asia begin, with the mass crack down by E.A.T.S.P. troops against insurgents and the return of the concentration camps to separate the insurgents from the population, and bombardment of key rebel installations begins. Loyalists to the puppet regime of East Asia take part in the fighting, as well, holding very public and broadcast rallies in favor of the Japanese intervention. These rallies along with the actual combat are televised across the globe as Japan allows international reporters to overlook the campaign. Usage of chemical and bio weapons is strictly forbidden. The military breathing masks prove extremely useful in dealing with rebel weapons and the harsh terrain in certain areas of China.
 * Turkish R: Turkey accepts.
 * North Republic Diplomacy: We send our official greetings from President Anders Bergstrom to Prime Minister Ishada Mizano, wishing him success in his new position. We state that if the Diet would wish support in their campaign against the insurgents we will surely help. Indeed our Militia are ideally suited to mountainous or extremely cold terrain.
 * Should the war go bad Japan will accept N.R. troops, but Japanese troops are highly trained in both extreme northern regions and jungle environments due to the extension of Japanese operations.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Harbours are improved as well.
 * Austria: Austria begins military exercises and stays neutral in international affairs until they realize what is going on.
 * Argentina:? An atomic bomb is begun to be built. We began to send help to the nation affected by the fallout to reduce the casualty. The security is slightly increased and some began to denounce the drive toward a police state but the government states that it is temporary.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up their military for what they see as the inevitable conflict. Nukes continue to be built up. (Sorry for not being active, I was a bit busy.)
 * China: China continues with nuclear research. We tell Japan that the government has nothing to do with insurgents and we ask Japan if they can help us create a computer and a satellite.
 * Dude, that's really biased. You should hate my guts for raping China 20 years ago. Nk.
 * France: France continues to build up the military and we create the famous assault rifle
 * North Republic: Days of celebration are held in honour of the Faroe islands and a commemorative stamp is launched. Construction of the aircraft carrier is continued. The air force now stands at 20 Mirage IV Strategic Bombers, ten Mirage IV Strategic Bombers (Thor variant) and 150 Zero 22 fighters. A large airbase is constructed on the Faroe Islands. All research is continued. The government buys several Computers from the IIT at a greatly reduced rate.

1968
Global Events: Indian officials in conjunction with Japanese scientists trace the radiation back to a large nuclear blast in the Indian Ocean. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and several other countries demand to know what happened. Several people are treated for radiation poisoning.
 * Korea: Korea continues to work on research on future technology. Alert levels throughout the place remain high as nukes continue to be developed. Troops begin to be massed on the Korean-Manchurian border.
 * Japan: Seeing the Korean build up Japan warns Korea that peace will stand between Korea and the E.A.T.S.P. but should Korea attack Manchuria it will be war with Japan and mutually assured destruction. The war in Eastern China continues to rage on, and Japanese mobilization reaches 7,000,000 with more being mobilized for the conflict. (My armed forces were at 4,000,000 roughly. I plan on going up to maybe 12,000,000 during this period.) All economic and scientific activities continue. For the first time in years the conservatives and ultra-nationalists stand behind the liberal dominated Diet. Troops are deployed to Manchuria to protect their ally and brother nation, while the navy and air force are put on high alert in case Korea makes a move, with even EMP and Nuclear weapons being readied. The goal will be the complete incapacitation of the Korean military and industrial infrastructure, but this is a last resort scenario. The continuation of the space station construction is sped up along with the network system.
 * Argentina:  The first nuclear bomb prototype is exploded in the Southern Atlantic Ocean to prevent the fallout of hitting any population center. The test is declared a success and a nuclear power plant is begun to be built three months later. They continue to be developed but the government says that no bomb powerful like the one exploded by Turkey will be built. We send some data to Brazil to help them in their program.
 * Way too early.
 * If it's too early then what is the exact year we can have an atomic bomb, Argentina and Brazil both? Sine dei gloriem (talk) 18:12, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that I had reached the say date. For the date, the USA is helping us. I think this shall be make us reach the technology slightly quicker.
 * Netherlands: The Navy is upgraded with more Submarines and battleships added in. Military is upgraded but not increased. More defense as in bomb bunkers are built.
 * Hungary: The Military continues building up, with funding increased from 3% to 3.75% of the country's GDP by the end of the year. Two strong Neo-Fascist groups, Vissza a Szuperhatalom (Return to Superpower) and Bosszú! (Vengeance!), which are both Ultra-Nationalists and Anti-Soviet groups, but hold different visions, and are actually enemies. Both groups are labelled as terrorist groups, when six members of Bosszú attempting to sneak a bomb through a van into Romania through the recently busy Nagyvárad (Oradea) Crossing that was constructed in the wake of new relations between the former arch-enemies. The six are arrested and taken to a secret facility, where (in a classic example of Human Rights Violation), they are reportedly tortured through various means, planned to spark conflict in the Border territory, wanting to spark Hungary's glory years of the Early 40's. Conscription ends suspension, and has a military of 150,000 active, while 350,000 are in reserves. However, activities are limited to military training, until conflict breaks out. Status with Czechoslovakia is unknown, though tensions are still high, since unlike Romania and Bulgaria, there has been little done to improve relations since World War II. There are plans to enact a law to allow for more soldiers to join the Honvédség. (Is this possible? Or is 500,000 the limit for this country?) Respecting Austria's neutrality, the President offers to build an Autobahn to connect Austria and Hungary, like the old times of the Empire.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2. Harbours are improved as well.
 * France: Military is being modernized and we create our first EMP.
 * Turkey: Expansion of the nuclear arsenal continues and the development on the EMP-buffering technology continues as planned. Additionally, the expansion of military assets continuing without issue, and the Turkish government secretly contemplates an invasion of the UAR upon receiving cause to do so. Additional technology and weapons are sent to Hungary, and development of the infrastructure to push ahead modernization of the rural areas begin.
 * North Republic: The government creates a two thousand strong Special Forces group the 'Hvítabjörninn' (or Polar Bears). Due to a strong Inuit base they are very good in cold conditions. However, they struggle to deal with jungles or tropical conditions. To this end, we ask if the Japanese would allow us to have a base in Indonesia to train our troops, or if they would wish to participate in cross-climate training (by which we would train Japanese troops in the Arctic in exchange for being trained in the jungle. Research continues. Scientists are confident of eradicating smallpox worldwide by 1973. The aircraft carrier is completed and launched from Reykjavik. It is named NRS Great Auk. (NRS Great Auk is comparable to The Dédalo)
 * ​Jap D: The Japanese think that Tonkin will provide a better space for practise, since it is highly unlikely that Indonesia will want western soldiers on their soil after centuries under Dutch rule, but Tonkin is a prefecture of Japan and just as fit for training.

1968.5
Global Events: Research points to a Turkish nuclear test as the culprit for the radiation deaths. More people in southern India become affected and several others die. Similar reports are coming in from countries bordering the Indian Ocean within a reasonable distance from the south of India. People petition to the UN to condemn Turkey. The UN is set to vote to condemn Japan following the deliberate breaking of international law; all while Koreans begin to feel the pinch of deprivation.
 * Korea: Korea continues to develop nukes. Troops continue to mass on the Manchurian border. Korea starts supporting anti-Japanese guerrilla forces in China, supplying them with arms and supplies. Training camps are also set up for the guerrillas.
 * Netherlands Diplomacy: The Netherlands offers military (Navy and Arms) and economic aid to the Koreans.
 * Japan: With the situation growing in violence and with intelligence pointing out Korean support the Japanese feel it is the final straw, those who went into exile after the coup (There's no way that the coup would be with 100% support. At least a very small population would be against the new Korean government, especially those who benefited from trade with Japan) begin to train with the Japanese armed forces for a planned invasion similar to the American-backed invasion of Pigs Bay in OTL, to bring a pro-Japanese government back to power. This is accompanied by a full scale blockade of all Korean waters by the superior Japanese Navy. Korea is given a final warning to back down. Mobilization continues as the Imperial forces get ready for a much broader war in East Asia. Bomb shelters are constructed throughout Japan in case Korea decides to go crazy and all nuclear weapons and missile defences are set to maximum alert, along with EMP bombs which will be carried by those Japanese pilots who are willing to not come back due to the large scale affects of the EMP. The new Arisawa rifle is nearly completed (the one based on the QBZ). Meanwhile, operations in East China are split into southern ones and northern ones while more troops are sent to Manchuria to protect the nation and Manchuria pulls back a third of the forces active in China to aid the Japanese defend Manchu land. More nuclear weapons are created and readied for the worst case scenario. the E.A.T.S.P. Headquarters are moved to Bangkok while a backup centre of operations is set up in Jakarta. All research projects are continued and advanced. With the threat of Korea on the horizon all previous hostilities that existed in between the political parties temporarily evaporate, as Mizano takes full charge along with the Diet and the High Command to deal with the China crisis and the rogue Korean state. Japanese forces are limited in their repressive actions due to the fact that international reporters are currently reporting live on the conflict but plans for the mass bombing campaign and clean up operation are set no matter what. The second phase of Scorched Asia begins. Breaking international law, Japan physically deprives Korea of its necessary imports and exports to bring Korea to back down before any conflict appears.
 * The Soviet Union, seeing that Japan has broken international law, recognizes the new Korean state, and supplies of oil, food, medicine, ammunition, and arms are shipped through the small border between the two nations to help continue the Korean economy, despite sanctions and blockades. Research into all modern technologies continue, while two satellites secretly designated as EMP satellites - otherwise low-orbit satellites carrying a nuclear weapon and should it detonate, cripple the electronic good of the targeted nation. The Soviet Command begins to protect the Soviet electrical grid and power stations by EMP-proofing them, as well as most fighter jets and armoured vehicles are retrofitted to withstand an EMP blast. Turkey is asked when the merger between the Soviet CIS and Turkey's organization begins.
 * ​Jap D: Requests are made for the CIS to stay clear of the conflict reminding them of the non-aggression pact that was signed and of the increasing Japanese investment in Russia. (also, EMP satellites I think, are a bit too advanced for this period maybe in 20 or 25 years.) and requests that the CIS once again sit down to talks about how to fix the current problems between the two super powers.
 * Soviet D: Ah! I forgot about that.
 * Turkish R: Would 1975 seem an appropriate date?
 * I honestly don't think so. It's not really hard, place a nuke on a low-orbit satellite, send the satellite up with a nuke and detonate, and boom, we have an EMP. Enclavehunter (talk) 15:07, November 28, 2012 (UTC)​
 * You do realize just how large of a waste of money that is? For an actual EMP satellite it would take at least 20 years to design, but to just send that up it's easier to simply nuke the other nation and far less expensive. Nkbeeching
 * Forgot financial. I'll fix it. Enclavehunter (talk) 20:18, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai writes the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2 and will be released next year. Harbours are improved as well. Elections are also held and Seni Pramoj becomes new Prime Minister of Thailand. He sends support to Japan to deal with Chinese rebels.
 * France: Seeing that Italy is still continuing to support Turkey, a French pilot drops an EMP bomb on Italy - followed by a military invasion.
 * Germany: Germany begins to build up its military and thanks to Italy secretly giving Germany nuke tech a few years ago construction of defensive nuclear missile bases begins. Buildup of the economy continues. The people begin demanding unification with East Germany. Secret negotiations with the USSR about uniting the two Germanies begins.
 * Hungary: Multiple Live Fire Exercises are scheduled in both the Summer and the Winter, as tensions rise all over the world. These are all taped in colour, to show as propaganda of powerful Hungary has once again become. President Losonczi, along with official statements from the Hungarian Government, have stated (since Turkey is Hungary's closest ally) that the nuclear fallout couldn't have been from Turkey, and that any nation could've developed the nuclear weapons and fired them into the Indian Ocean. Hungarian Ambassadors go on an official mission to Seoul, where there is an offer to open up a Korean Embassy in Budapest, and vice versa. There is a two Billion Ft (Forint, Hungary's current currency) plan to upgrade the defense capabilities for all sides of the country, including plans to build massive fallout shelters and nuclear bunkers in Budapest and multiple other cities all over the country. Construction is rushed and sped up, in fear of nuclear warfare breaking out, with World War III looking inevitable.
 * Netherlands: Netherlands upgrades Military - mainly navy and air force, Economy and government. The Government of Netherlands ask Belgium and Luxembourg to join Netherlands to create the Benelux republic. Though it is still controversial for the Government of the Netherlands, they offer this referendum to Belgium and Luxembourg. Aid is offered to France and Korea.
 * A very direct warning is sent to the Netherlands by Japan to stay clear of Asia, an action which garners much support from Indonesia.

1969
Global Events: The UN condemns Turkey for its reckless endangerment of people after its bomb blast in the Indian Ocean. The UN is set to vote to condemn the Turkish invasion of Persia.
 * Korea: In the final display of their power, a Korean submarine fires off a nuke at a small island in the East Sea. The missile hits within 0.2 km of the target, completely obliterating it. Missiles continue to be developed, while warnings are sent to Japan. Aid is welcomed from the Soviet Union, and joint training is suggested to their military leadership. A nuke is also supplied secretly to the lead guerrilla force in China (whichever it may be). Meanwhile, any resistance to the new government is dealt with harshly.
 * Jap D: The government holds a firm stance against Korea but says it won't go to war with Korea unless Korea invades Manchuria which is something Japan will not stand. (Also there is only one extensive guerrilla force lead by the dragon's awakening political party.)
 * Turkey: The Turkish government finally agrees that the time to finish the mission in Persia has come, and the declaration of war against Persia is issued by the government. A force of 470,000 troops are sent into combat to deal with a rump state, and put an end to it after a 20-year ceasefire. Tactical nukes are positioned in the region for use if needed. Elsewhere, the military reveals its first series of naval strike missiles, which are in short, stealth missiles designed to take out high-risk targets without revealing their position until the last minute before impact. A new class of cruisers and destroyers is under production to ramp up Turkey's military remobilization program in light of its position as a superpower. The introduction of the Forvet-67 as the new standard issue rifle for the Turkish military is to begin within the year in response to the Japanese QBZ gun.
 * You're not a superpower. You are like India, you have nukes but your infrastructure blows.
 * The same could be said for OTL Soviet Union. Regardless, I am. I spent the time from WWII developing it. I've got nuclear generators, miles of railways, highways, and roads, missile sites, shipyards, armories, and factories. I control half of the world's oil, and most of the Middle East. So I have the influence, the weapons, the soldiers, the nukes, and the supplies to justifiably call myself a superpower, regardless of whether or not you think so. And superpowers normally have puppet states, and I've got like a dozen. Oh, and Turkey is in the "Big Cheese" category in the algorithim. So, yeah... ~Viva
 * You still ain't no superpower. Ain't got 'nough said to fight any of us real three alone.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union stands by Turkey, its main ally, and condemns the United Nations for accusing Turkey of detonating the nuclear weapon in the Indian Ocean, which couldn't have happened without Turkish government approval. In Persia, a squadron of SU-77 Spirit Bombers - a stealth bomber - launches a bombing raid against major cities within the rump state of Persia, and return within Soviet borders before the Persians knew what struck them. Research into all modern technology continues, while production of weapons begins.
 * Japan: Military operations in China continue and Japan remains firm about wiping out the insurgencies. Japan, in an attempt to lift international opinion, agrees to lift the blockade on general goods except oil, and material to make weapons. Despite Korean support, most equipment sent to China is used wrongly and the rebels resort to guerrilla warfare and urban warfare. While they are able to strike at the Japanese, they suffer from Japanese superior tactics and efficiency - especially in cities and in the mountains and jungle to the south. All research continues and plans to send nuclear weapons into space are set for next year while the space station continues to be constructed. The combat in China continues to be televised.
 * Hungary: The Hungarian Government has announced withdrawal from the United Nations, in protest of their repeated accusations against Turkey. In a show of support, 100,000 soldiers of the Ground Forces will be deployed to Persia, to assist the Invasion, along with sending 20 jet fighters and 40 bombers of the Air Forces to assist alongside the Turkish and Soviet Air Forces. With this, 100,000 soldiers in reserves are made active troops, to maintain the immediate defense of the country. The Federal Defense program continues and continues building underground nuclear bunkers. Some that may be considered among the largest in the world (though a trade off, despite massive capacity, is that they may not be as high quality as other such programs in wealthier countries.)
 * That's just frakkin suicide and also implausible.
 * Netherlands: Netherlands increases the military along with upgrades to the navy, armed forces and air force. Economical and infrastructure is updated. Technological research is steered towards Robotics for military purposes. Referendum still offered to Belgium and Luxembourg.
 * France: The military is continuing to smash through Italian lines and we begin our second to defeat Italy.
 * Your algorithm wasn't done properly, and your troops are nowhere near Rome nor threatening enough to cause them to capitulate. Besides, I believe Italy is played by someone. ~Viva
 * LOL XD France in  Italy BS.
 * North Republic: The first assortment of Special forces complete their training. All research continues. We send an official warning to the Netherlands. Stay out of Asia. If you choose to aid Korea we shall declare war. We can hit your major cities easily with our bombers. All military branches are put on full alert. Construction of a second identical carrier begins. The air force is doubled.
 * Netherlands Response: All we did was offer aid. Nothing more. So stand down. And any Japanese or North Republic diplomats in the Netherlands hereby removed at once and the embassies of both countries are closed down.
 * Argentina: Cuts all the remaining ties with Turkey. Help continues to be sent to the poor people affected by the radiation. The nuclear program continues as well (a final year would be appreciated). The people who are already hostile to Turkey begun to hate the Communists. They are seen as supporters of the Turkish aggressor. This causes relations with Chile to decrease.
 * The United States cuts relations with Turkey and Co. President Byrd is re-inaugurated with Richard Russell, Jr.
 * Germany: Germany continues to build up its military and Nuke buildup continues. Buildup of the economy continues. The people begin demanding unification with East Germany. Secret negotiations with the USSR about uniting the two Germanies begins.

1969.5
Global Events: The UN condemns Turkey for both the reckless endangerment of people for its Indian Ocean blast and its invasion of Persia. The world reacts to turmoil in East Asia (between Japan and Korea) and the Middle East (Turkey and friends plus most of the free world) with violent protests. Nationalist movements in the Middle East and the Balkans swell.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Surakiart Phathanothai releases the fourth issue of โทโฮไคคิดัน 2; Miko, Koishi and Kogasa look around Lanzhou and manage to find more clues, and soon leads to a suspect named คิริซาเมะ มาริสะ (Khirisāmea Māris̄a, Marisa Kirisame); by the end of this issue they begin to hunt for her. Harbours are improved as well.
 * Turkey: The Turkish government begins a secret eugenics experiment in which the Balkans population is unknowingly sterilized, and the Turkish population given fertility treatments during what are believed to be medical checkups. The Turks pump "colonists" into the Balkan protectorates and other members of the MEDC, and do so under the guise of providing skilled labor for the member nations. The Turks annex the remainder of the Persian nation, and declare victory over their longtime enemy. Expansion of the infrastructure begins as the first highways are constructed throughout the nation. Integration of the MEDC member states' economy with that of Turkey's takes place as part of the nation's planned economic development. Finally, the seventh aircraft carrier under construction in Istanbul is completed. The TNV Ataturk II is the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Turkish navy, and is to serve as the flagship of Turkey's carrier fleet (I've got seven now, woohoo!).
 * still nothing in comparison to the three world powers. :P 
 * Japan: the war in China is getting increasingly violent as the insuergency becomes increasing fanatic and suicidal in the attempt to wipe out their mortal enemies with a nuclear weapon their control that supplied by Korea they plan to plant it in the japanese homeland as revenge for 20 years ago. Japanese troops fighting also become more rough in their treatment of insurgents but civilians are still treated reasonably well, garnering some support from those amongst the population that are more moderate, while stout nationalists support actively the Dragon army. the new rifle is finally in service its named the Arisawa TR 70 (tactical rifle).THe situation with Korea is becoming increasingly intolerable and to secure some sort of a truce with them, a group of diplomats are sent to discuss term of easing tensions between the two states, should these talks fail the korean exiles will be militarily supported and possibly aided by japanese troops to retake the peninsula. All tech research projects are continued and the network is nearly completed for military usage. anti-espionage operations in the homeland are increased and every thing entering or leaving the country is checked. construction of the space station continues. life is tense in the homeland asthe threat of korea is looming over everyones heads and the war in China is becoming increasingtly violent.
 * Spain: military continues to build up during this a communist revolution begins the rebels ask for turkish aid
