Atomic World (Map Game)

Welcome to the Atomic World! Atomic World is a map game set in the immediate aftermath of a major nuclear war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the year 1962 A.D. No one knows who launched first, but the results were all the same, total annihilation of civilization. All that remains are the few survivors and scavengers who were left after the initial exchange.

In Atomic World you can play as almost anything you can imagine. Small survivor states and tribes banding together for survival. Remnants of pre-war governments determined to rebuild from the ashes. Hordes of raiders and bandits ready to lay waste to whatever remains. You can decide the fate of the post-apocalyptic Earth in Atomic World.

'''Deadly thermonuclear war had devastated civilization. Humanity struggles to rise from the ashes. Has the age of man reached its twilight? Who will win in this Atomic World?'''

1962.5 A.D

 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: After the atomic destruction of Washington D.C and most of the government, the surviving remnants are evacuated to Cheyenne Mountain Facility. Robert McNamara is sworn in as President Of The United States in the NORAD Command Facility and assumes the role of Commander in Chief. His first orders is to secure the area around Cheyenne Mountain. We expand our territory to include the surrounding areas. Meanwhile, the surviving remnants of the US Army train to face whatever threat may face them out in the Wasteland. So far however, we have not encountered any of the dangerous creatures or mutants lurking in the wastelands. An attempt is made to contact other survivors of the war. [Player Response Required] Using whatever materials on hand, we attempt to fortify and expand the Cheyenne Mountain base, our new Capital. Elections are suspended for now, as we struggle to rebuild ourselves from the ruins. We continue to expand and grow our nation, preparing supplies for the incoming Nuclear Winter...
 * Northern Counties Dip: We offer an alliance with the reformed USA ask they recognize our claims to England.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA:We accept the alliance offer and officially recognize the Northern Countries as the successor state to Great Britain. May our alliance continue long into the future, and may God bless you during these troubled times.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: We inform the US government (or what is left of it) that the 1st Infantry Divison survived the nukes, but is now the autonomous and independent organization known as First Command, lead by General Hudson McCollum.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: The US Government demands that the 1st Infantry Division obey the authority of the Commander In Chief, President Robert McNamara and swear allegiance to the legitimate government in Cheyenne Mountain.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: General Hudson McCollum refuse to recognize the autority of McNamara as 36th President and as Supreme Commander of the US military, as Final Command is the official successor of the US military. We demand total recognition of our autonomy.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: We instead propose an alliance between us for duration of this national emergency. After order has been restored in the continental United States, we can discuss the reconstruction of the Union.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: We would agree to a non-agression treaty, as alliance would mean we recognize MCNamara administration. We also warn that no troops from the "US" must go into Kansas, in exchange of which we will not enter Coloraado (a deal similar to the one in Korea).
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: Deal.


 * The Alliance of Northern English Counties: Alston is declared the capital and a military of farmers is formed and they are sent out on patrols to keep control of the North Pennies region; to ensure Scottish raiders and southern refugees don't enter. Due to the decrease in amounts of agriculture food is rationed heavily and all civilians are required to have a fallout shelter to live in majority of their time and are only to leave when performing actions on the surface. Houses are to be fireproofed and water stockpiled.


 * Flag_of_Mongolia_(1911-1921).svg Mongol Horde: Relatively unaffected by the nuclear holocaust, ethnic Mongols begin to create a unified state under monarch Genghis Khan II. We request an alliance with the Kazakh tribes in the west and south, hypothetically putting them under Mongol control albeit under strong autonomy. We expand further into eastern Mongolia and Xinjiang. We send expeditions into Siberia in hopes of finding abandoned Soviet technology, in order to give the Mongols an advantage over potential opposing factions.
 * Mod Response: Some of the Kazakh Tribes accept to live under Mongolian control (expecting supplies and support of course) but some of them don't, saying Mongolians are not to be trusted. They also attack Mongolian expedition squads.
 * Fighters.pngThe Fighters of Buddha: We start recording creatures we found in the rainforests of our region. We divide our hunters to hunter-gather both in sea and land. We try to find new ways to clear our fish and animals so we don't get sick. We started education for children and nursing schools for women in Ankgor Wat. We established a new outpost and expanded our territory.
 * The People's Republic of Siberia: Following the nuclear exchange, the People's Republic of Siberia is born as the successor state to the Soviet Union, with its capital in Novokuznetsk. Military buildup and economic expansion begin as we begin to recover from the war. Attempts at recovering pre-War technology begin as we expand into the rest of Siberia, laying claim to the entire historical region. Our scouts and troops begin to expand outside of Novokuznetsk and the surrounding territory, particularly to the south as the nuclear winter begins and begin slowly and gradually grabbing bits of Siberia in an attempt to restore order. We also declare ourselves to be the successor state of the Soviet Union. Infrastructure begins restoration and this includes everything from basic food and water supplies to communications infrastructure. Attempts are made to contact the outside world [Player Response Necessary].
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: We manage to get a faint signal of the Soviet message and send a reply. We offer a ceasefire to our former enemies, as there is no more point in warring against one another with our armies decimated.
 * Siberian Diplomacy: The People's Republic of Siberia accepts the offer of the United States. Our predecessor's biggest mistake was starting the Third World War, and we will recognise it as the biggest mistake of humanity's history.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: We completely agree, may humanity never make this horrible mistake ever again.
 * Australian Dip: We manage to gain a faint signal and send a reply. "Hello, [Radio Breaking up] the Australian Conf-[radio breaking up] are at Coffs Harbour [radio breaking up]. Damn Radio...[Radio Signal lost].
 * Turkey-Bulgaria:  The goverment starts complimenting the National Army and recruits more troops using Propaganda. TV is used aswell as posters to encourage war against Greece and the former USSR, more troops are stationed at the border.


 * Mod Response Please remember that this a post apocalyptic map game and it's unlikely you have the capability to do the things you describe immediately after a nuclear war. Civilization as we know it is gone and they are no more Television stations, printing presses etc. unless you restore them.Victor Troska (talk) 22:25, December 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay then. The new established Turkish Goverment tries to re-build its former glory, they start a talk in the national assembly and share their ideas about improving the country to restore the technology aswell as dealing with radioactive/destroyed cities in the east. The city of Istanbul, is completely destroyed, The National Assembly talks about rebuilding the old city. But as resource levels go down, Turkey has began trading with minor tribes in Syria.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command: Self proclamed General Hudson McCollum began to turn Fort Riley into a true fortress, hoping to make it his Command Center in the following years. Due to the military ambience of the Fort, McCollum is able to keep his troops organized and disciplined. He then send Colonel James F. Pratt with troops to take control of Junction City and other cities East of Fort Riley. Final Command take control of eastern territories.
 * Islamic Alliance: We begin to rebuild madrasas (religious schools),Jails,printing machines,TVs and cities affected by the war. Madrasas become very popular because it gives people some where to live,eat,and learn religion,science,math,Arabic, and history.Hand craned radios become the TV for now.People are paid to make happy or join the army posters and murals across anbar with hopes of easing the shock.We begin to set up Water purification areas where people come to clean their water and learn more about radiation animals begin to be domesticated and some are killed for food. The Malik outlaws cigars calling them "a suicidal machine." Our Militias and Ex Military begin to organize and train each other under command of our Malik,while they are are send to madrasas to know why their fighting,We begin a assault on Baghdad only facing a few militias taking it in hours. We begin to send troops to Syria to the town of Al Bukamal. We try to allie with Sunni Tribes across Iraq and Syria [Mod Response]. Attempts are made to the out side. [any player response necessary]
 * Mod Response: Many of the Sunni tribes neighbouring the territory of the Islamic Alliance join the Alliance, believing the nuclear holocaust to be punishment from Allah.
 * The Australian Confederation:  With the nuclear annihilation of Australia,  we set up Coffs Harbour as our diplomatic and political capital while we set up Armidale as our military capital. We send 500 soldiers to Newcastle (Australia) to recover as much military equipment and if possible, try to recruit more men and women in the nearby Newcastle area. We send diplomats to the refugee and mercenary tribes in Newcastle and Sydney to try to form an alliance and if possible, try to accept them into the Confederation [Mod response needed].  We set up military outposts in the border to stop mercenary raids in the area. Infrastructure such as roads, houses, schools, ports and refugee camps.  We attempt to contact people from the outside world as no one knows if there are any survivors left in the rest of the world [Player response needed].
 * Mod Response: The tribes of Newcastle join the Australian Confederation. However, the Sydney tribes are not so easily convinced and turn down the offer, opting to remain independent.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: After establishing a weak but workable signal, we offer to set up diplomatic relations between the US Government and the new Australian Confederation. Best of luck to you these hard times and God Bless.
 * Australia to USA dip: We accept the offer.
 * Islamic Alliance dip: We receive you message only able to reply with this in Arabic "Hello [radio breaking up] Hello... This is the Islamic [breaking up] we are based in Iraq and we are asking for [breaking up] we have set up many [radio signal lost]
 * Jakartan Empire: We ask Australia for an alliance.
 * Australian Dip to Jakarta: We graciously accept, although we would only provide limited support for now.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip:  General Hudson McCollum recieved news of the existence of the Australian Confederation, and as supreme commander of the US Military recognize its independence and autonomy. We would like to ask for the same.
 * Jakartan Empire: Indonesia has suffered greatly from fallout from other countries, but had limited bombings due to the non-aligned movement (mod approved). However, several islands and cities declared independence, and Indonesia became several tiny states based on different islands. Java is currently in Civil war, with the Jakartan Empire fighting to regain control of the Republic of Semarang and East Java. We fight Semarang, and add conscription for males in certain age groups. Fallout badly affects Jakarta, and we try to find ways to make cleaner water. Sukarno is the President, and Islam is made the official religion.
 * Turkey Turkish scientists re-invent TV, which they use as a messaging system with motion-picture, almost like skype or whatsapp. They give 2 to the tribe in Damascus, 1 to the one in Aleppo and 5 to the tribes in lebanon.We recruit and send 2.000 soldiers and settlers to Istanbul and Trebzon to settle and make cities there.
 * Greater Patagonia:  The government consolidates itself in Monevideo, in an effort to stabilize the near-fragile union of Argentina and Uruguay. Seeing the nuclear devastation in the world, Patagonia offers to open it's borders to Western European and North American refugees. Efforts to restore communication lines between Buenos Aires and Montevideo commence. Infrastructure in these cities is strengthened and agriculture in the surrounding areas is increased to provide an adequate food supply to the country. Patagonia expands 15px west towards Chile. The remaining signal and broadcast towers start to be reworked

1963 A.D
'''As the ash and the atomic dust settles, a harsh and cruel nuclear winter manifests over the land. Many perish in the cold and expansion is extremely limited this turn.'''

Cut-throat raiders step up their attacks against the survivors, desperate to claim supplies and shelter to protect themselves from the haunting cold.

'Tensions run high, as a small military unit in Kansas, the Final Command'' declares its intentions to mutiny from the US Government. President McNamara reaches a non-aggression deal with General McCallum, but how long it will last, nobody knows.'''

'''The Mongol Empire continues to expand, the Australian Confederation extends its influence across the continent, rival clans in Britain battle for supremacy, but their greatest enemy is Mother Nature itself. Will humanity's light be finally extinguished?'''

Can the young survivor states survive their infancy in this cold and terrifying Atomic World?

Welsh Rebellion Front: NOTE: I didn't have time to do the turn last turn because of Christmas and all that, read the 1st part of the history page to find out what happens in that turn. We continue to expand 15 pixels towards Aberswithis, hopefully reuniting it soon from the evil tribes. We continue to recruit more men for the army, we have got a grand total of approximately 1000, roughly half being in the former British Army. '''We offer and alliance to North England. We also state to the Celts that if they don't attack Wales, then we can be friends.''' We gather supplies for the upcoming nuclear winter. Thankfully, because of no nukes landing in our present area, al of our infrastructure is nearly fine, with only a little but of fallout coming from the Swansea bomb. Monthly meetings take place in Tenby Hall (a place that doesn't exist in the ATL), everybody in the Welsh Rebbelion Front is invited, most turn up. '''We consider changing our name. We also reach contact with the survivors of the U.S. And we offer them an alliance if they accept us the ruler of Wales, Cornwall and Devon.''' We build our military. We also welcome immigrants from South Wales and England if the men go in the army, the women stay home and raise a family. We try not to let most people starve. Final Command:  Snow raiders rapidly became a problem for the paramilitary organization. After securing a non-agression treaty with the Colorado government of McNamara, General McCollum make his move against the raiders. He send his est troops, under the command of Colonel Pratt, to accomplish black ops operations on the raiders's bases, kidnapping their leaders. The leaders captured are then judged in Mrtial Court by Colonel Pratt, who find them all guilty and send them to the firing squad. Without the leaders gone, Final Command move to annexe the raiders territories up north.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: General Hudson McCollum send a message to the WRF. As supreme commander of the US military, he officially recognize Thomas Ward as the legitimate ruler of Wales, Cornwall and Sumerset. Of course, a similar gesture from your side would be appreciated.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: As the sole legitimate government of The United States we recognize Thomas Ward as ruler of Wales. We ask that they recognize us as the sole entity with authority over the United States.
 * The Philippine Premier recognises no sole authority over the former United States.
 * Northern England: We recognize Wales as independent and their domain over Cornwall but not Somerset because there are no Welsh people there. We suggest they join us in holding back on recognizing the government of the US while we establish which one is legitimate.
 * Australian Dip: We recognise Thomas Ward as the legitimate ruler of Wales and its territories.

On a more domestic level, General McCollum institute a conscription for every man between 18 and 40 years old, saying it is to "protect order and peace in the region". Many new recruits arrive from the cities annexed last year, which allow Final COmmand to gain in strenght. Because of those cities, new supplies begin to arrive at Fort Riley, and production of basic needs for the army create some jobs among the civilians. Plans are made for the annexation of the Kansas City in the following months.

USA: After reaching a fragile deal with the so-called "Final Command", we turn our attention to consolidating and expanding the territory under US Government control. However, we are set back after attacks by raiders and brigands, primarily based out of the neighbouring city of '''Colorado Springs. '''After fighting off the initial attack we prepare for a major assault to reclaim the settlement of Colorado Springs. '''1000 US Troops assault Colorado Springs and retake it from the raiders. '''Colorado Springs is then incorporated into the United States.
 * Afterwards, we use our supplies stored inside Cheyenne Mountain to feed the starving populace of Colorado Springs. We then draft 9,000 of the citizens of Colorado Springs, incorporating them into the rapidly growing US Armed Forces. The rest are put to work rebuilding the town and constructing fortifications. The entire Colorado Springs regions and the outlying military bases are fortified to protect against further assaults from raiders. Colorado Springs becomes a bastion and place of refuge against the harsh nuclear winter and the looming threat of raiders.
 * President McNamara and Vice-President Robert Kennedy deliver rousing speeches to the huddled citizens of Colorado Springs, improving their morale and toughening them against the worse and harder trials which lay ahead. The President selects a provisional cabinet from the Military Staff at NORAD and the best and brightest of Colorado Springs. He states elections for a new Congress and President will be held at the latest in 1966, or at such time the Union is restored to it's pre-war self.
 * Otherwise, we continue to expand our territory and consolidate our hold on Colorado. [Secret: We send spies to Kansas to observe the activities of the Final Command]  We continue rebuilding, looking foward to the day mankind can pull itself out of this new dark age and when we can finally rebuild our beloved Union.


 * Islamic Alliance: We begin to rebuild madrasas (religious schools),Jails,printing machines,TVs and cities affected by the war. Madrasas become very popular because it gives people some where to live,eat,and learn religion,science,math,Arabic, and history.Hand craned radios become the TV for now.People are paid to make happy or join the army posters and murals across anbar with hopes of easing the shock.We begin to set up Water purification areas where people come to clean their water and learn more about radiation animals begin to be domesticated and some are killed for food. The Malik outlaws cigars calling them "a suicidal machine." Our Militias and Ex Military begin to organize and train each other under command of our Malik,while they are are send to madrasas to know why their fighting,We begin a assault on Baghdad only facing a few militias taking it in hours. We begin to send troops to Syria,Iran, and Jordan to the town of Deir ez-Zur,Tikrit,Arar,Samarra and Ad Dumayr. Seeing a coming Winter we begin to work on stocking up food,water, and, everything. We begin to give our people firewood and teach them how to make a fire. Raiders are all sent to a firing squad,unless they give up.We tell the people the winter and Nuclear war was a punishment and test from Allah and who ever help us will pass the test. We send a message to North America [North American players response needed] in Arabic "Hello,hello this is the Islamic Alliance and we are seeing a coming winter and [Radio break up] We are based in Iraq [RADIO BREAK UP] and we fear more hard times will come [Lost Signal]


 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: The weak signal sent by the Islamic Alliance reached Final Command. A long speech was sent as a reply, expressing how we are the only surviving structure of the US Army. We also try to send them information on the overall situation in the US and we try to learn what we can, but this part of the message is cut by the weak signal between Final Command and the Islamic Alliance. Waiting for news.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: "Hello, [static] this is the [static] United States Government. We wish to set up diplomatic... [Static] and we recognize the  troubled times which lay ahead. [End Of Transmission]" dangerous threat of the Nuclear Winter which has manifested. We ask you [Static] to recognize us as the sole Government Of the United States Of America and view the so-called "Final Command" as an illegal entity. [Static] May God be with you in these trouble times ahead.
 * I.A Dip: (To USA) "Why should we allie with you [static] when you allied with Zionist, when we fought them for many year?" (To Final Command) "Why should we allie with you an.. [static] what are you political views?" (To both) "We are based in the [Static] Anbar and now into Syria."
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: Our main policy is to bring the State of Kansas and its neighboor regions to order and peace. We also consider ourself the only remain of US military structure, making McNamara prsidency illegitimate. On international policy, we take a more isolationist position, as we do not have any goal out of North America, althought we are willing to offer political support to any nation willing to recognize us.
 * Alliance of Northern English counties: As food shortages become an issue we send raiders out to take supplies from the north and we make it clear that we have a strict policy on refugees. Slavery is reintroduced and anyone wanting to enter the Northern England must agree to become a slave and it is their masters job to feed them. We send troops to take Penrith. We keep expanding our fallout shelters and fireproofing what we can. We offer to recognize the Final Command as the government of the United States in exchange for food.
 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command Dip: We agree to the deal to send part of our supplies to the ANE, although we are dubious. Didn't you agreed to a deal with McNamara government last year?
 * Alliance of North England: No what we said was that we recognized them as an organization not as the government. We acknowledge they exist as a belligerent party but not as the government of the USA. We are now recognizing you as the legitimate government of the US as we have entered trade relations with the legitimate government of the US. Thank you for the food.
 * Fighters.pngThe Fighters of Buddha: The tough rainforests and hot environment of our region makes it easier for us to endure Nuclear Winter but we start to build underground bases as it may go harder to endure. We send explorer teams to Former Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh in hopes to find survivors and supplies, we also try to set up a broadcasting tower, to use in both in-group and international. We send mutants and radioactive creatures to special rooms in Ankgor Wat, our nurses will do autopsies and learn about them.
 * Australian Confederation: We halt expansion as we fear that the Atomic Winter will fall upon our settlements. We begin to stockpile supplies as our citizens resort to nearby Fallout Shelters and bunkers. Refugees flood in as we continue to accept them. Rumours now spread that 7 ICBMs hit Sydney but it is Unconfirmed. Raids from the south lessen as the dreaded Atomic Winter takes a toll on the raiders, but raids from the North escalate so much that there is as many as 1,000 (approx) casualties for the Northern raiders. Raids also appear on the east as pirates raid the east coast, but most fail miserably. However there are no raids in the west due to the rough terrain. We build small tunnels from our Military bases to our borders and outposts to ease mobility during the Atomic Winter. We send this radio transmission to the nearby tribes and clans in Australia: "This is the Australian Confederation [STATIC] we will accept anybody, as long they don't do any harm [STATIC] please visit our outposts at Port Macquarie, Armidale or Coffs Harbour [STATIC] we have Fallout shelters and Bunkers [STATIC] After the winter, we will accept any clan or tribes to join our Confeder- [STATIC] May God guide you to survival, Thank you. [SIGNAL LOST]"
 * The Philippine Premier José Marcos offers to help the Confederation unify the Australian continent in exchange for recognising Philippine ambitions of dominating Southeast Asia.
 * Australian Dip: We decline for we are allies with the Jakartan Empire.
 * Chinese Empire: Economy, infrastructure and military improve and supplies are produced or discovered. With collapse of People's Republic of China due to nuclear war, more Chinese tribes are formed. But this time the Chinese Empire, with Hui Xuang as first emperor, is recreated and took ideas from the former Qing Empire. The glorious empire begins to rebuild everything all that has been destroyed by nukes and remove Fallout winter from green healthy farms by warming up with firewood. Population continues to grow by finding as scouts survivors to join unified Chinese people. Wuhan has been selected as capital city, as might rebuild this wonderful city. More houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, shops and mining plants are rebuilt. Roads, railroads and farms are rebuilt or improved and cities continue to rebuild and grow. Education is improved and more educational buildings are rebuilt. Broadcast towers are built or rebuilt to spread propaganda across surrounding areas to contact with remaining Chinese survivors, tribes and clans on radio and TVs and then joining the Chinese Empire as citizens much easier. Territory continues to expend to include the surrounding areas really fast. Firewood are now free for use of warming in houses and continues to find many bunkers to include more Chinese survivors or building bunkers underground to survive the harsh winter. Emperor Hui Xuang continues to plan new reforms for China and continues investing heavily in technology and science.
 * Kingdom of the Philippines: The Philippines rapidly expands into Palawan. In addition, the Philippines plans to expand into Visayas within the next months. There is heavy emphasis on economic autarky and self-sufficiency, outdated farming methods are removed from use and newer ones like hydroponics become widespread. There is also heavy emphasis on human capital, including education and more. The Philippine economy begins to experience rapid domestic consumption-led industrial growth motivated by the ambitions of militarily-dominating the Southeast Asian region. Huge, family-owned business conglomerates rapidly grow and expand. Infrastructure is improved and modern technologies are introduced to improve productivity per worker.
 * The People's Republic of Siberia: Attempts to make contact with the outside world continue, as we have already established contact with our predecessor's former enemy: the United States, but despite that, no transmissions have been received from elsewhere on the planet. However, our forces continue to gain territory after territory, but not before we run into an organised group of what we believe are nomadic tribes (this implies contact with a possible organised group close to Siberia). Meanwhile, reconstruction our infrastructure continue and agricultural efforts begin to compensate for our lack of food supplies. We begin expansion East and South of Novokuznetsk and continue our current efforts to expand into the surrounding area.


 * Caribbean Union: What remains of the Cuban remnant is overthrown in a coup in the worst of the winter. The new "President" attempts to expand and push out of Havana into other areas, without much success (just to clarify, was Havana nuked or no?). the name of the new nation clearly states the President's ultimate goal, to unify the Caribbeans in these hard times. We send a transmission to the Americas, not knowing who will respond, but attempt to verify what happened to our northern neighbor. The transmission is as follows: "Greetings, Americans! We would like to set up [static] relations with the [static] states that survive[static]. We would li-[static] see whom has survived the death of the world. Any and all states who reciev-[static] this messa-[static] please res-[Signal Lost]"

 * Philippine National Union: With comnunication signals restored recently, a new government under the self-proclaimed Supremo (Führer) of the Union, Leopold Valento, assumes power in its base in Cebu City. They also claim that they are the legitimate government as opposed to José Marcos' Kingdom. However we salute at the Royal Family.
 * The Premier José Marcos condemns this and declares his regime as the sole legitimate government on the archipelago.
 * Fighters.png Fighters of Buddha: We, the Fighters of Buddha recognize the Kingdom of Philippines as the successor state of former Philippines and denounce the opposing regime of PNU.
 * People's Republic of Siberia: We refuse to recognise either side, and request that a moderate government be established to prevent a civil war in the region.
 * Philippine National Union transmission: [static] Arise, people. We (static) are thankful that we survived [static] the dar[static]kest of mindight[static]. Arise, [static] for a new day has arrived. We are sad to [static] break out the news that the President, the Vice President, and his succesors [static] perished in the bombing. [Static] As the surviving member of the cabinet, I, General Antonio Rivera, Chief of [static] Staff of the Armed Forces of [static] of Philippines, asks every military command who hears this [static] broadcast shall report to the new government of Acting Presid[static]ent Leopold Valento as the proper leader. I ask[static] every citizen who heard this broadcast to pledge allegiance to the Union. Thank you, and please [static] await further instructions. [End of Transmission]
 * United Kingdom of the Celts: We refuse to recognise the Welsh Liberation Front, and we begin to send our armed forces to Wales in order to re-conquer it. The plan is known as Operation Pendragon, and we plan to send a majority of our troops to their territory in Wales by transport ships and we'll use blitzkrieg tactics to quickly invade the land. In terms of internal affairs, we begin to push into central Ireland and Cornwall by offering vassalization to the local Celtic tribes. We also offer an alliance to Munster. [Munster Response Needed]
 * Mod Response: Celtic tribes in Central Ireland love to join the Kingdom, however Cornwall refuses kindly.
 * Republic of New Zealand: After some of the more concerns that could come from Nuclear Winter, we expand 15px to north. Also some food shortages believed to be constant raids from tribes and nuclear winter, as that might be worry for most of the NZ people. Keith says there's nothing much left to do with the food shortages, as he believes it'll be bad because of nuclear winter, while it faces the fallout.
 * Australian Dip: We offer an alliance to New Zealand.
 * New Zealand Dip: We accept the alliance.
 * Alliance of the Scottish Isles: Orkney and the Shetlands have joined together to try and simply support each other in the aftermath of the nuclear war. Their distance from the majority of the major cities of the old Kingdom has spared them from most devastation and radiation but supplies are low and so with a loose structure under Reverend Drummond they've begun to send men to land in northern Scotland to find food stores. Most work is focused inward towards new fishing vessels for simple survival. As of yet we have no knowledge of events in the majority of the United Kingdom and are working to find a sufficient radio transmitter.

1963.5 A.D
'''The bitter nuclear winter has lifted from the land, expansion, travel and trade are now much easier. However, the post-atomic horror still continues, mutant beasts roam the land, preying on those weakest, whilst raiders step up their game with the milder weather. '''

'''Mutant beasts in 1 year of nuclear doomsday, ASB. ~ AH28'''

'Meanwhile, a new group emerges, those calling themselves the Simpletons''. In a large backlash against the technology which had destroyed the world, they wander the land, murdering intellectuals and destroying pre-war technology. Several groups have formed to combat these barbarians, however they are outnumbered greatly. It is up to the so-called governments of the land to maintain stability and aid the protection of pre-war artifacts.'''

'''In the British Isles, the brave soldiers of the Welsh Rebellion Front fend off an assault by the Kingdom of Celts, however the Welsh suspect the threat from Ireland is not over. In Kansas, the Final Command suspects that there are spies in their midst, as several pieces of military equipment have been sabotaged. The United States continues to expand throughout Colorado. Several new nations have also developed since the end of the nuclear winter, and more war might be coming to the land.'''

'''War, radiation and death. Can the young nations brave out the Humanity's greatest battle and survive the post-nuclear horror? Will this time be remembered as Mankind's finest hour or shall they go quietly into the night, in this brutal Atomic World?'''


 * Fighters.png Fighters of Buddha: We started frequent patrols around our border which are supposed to keep Simpletons out. As our gatherers come back with great supplies from Phnom Penh, we start to get an army together to capture Phnom Penh in the year of 1964. We set up our first broadcasting tower in Ankgor Wat and sent shortwave signals to meet any survivors around. [Oceanian players' response needed] We're trying to found a treatment plant for clean water. We recruit combat medics. We continue expanding.
 * Philippine National Union: We begin to construct a treatment plant to clean the water from the main dam in Cebu City. Meanwhile exploration parties are set out to make contact with the surrounding islands (Note: the island province of Cebu is the core territory of the regime.) One of the expedition parties reached Bohol, and the local governor of the province, toghether with the local police and military chiefs, pledge alleigiance to the new regime. So was in Negros, Panay, and Leyte. Meanwhile we begun to raise an army by drafting young males age 16 and above; A treasure trove has been found upon discoveries of local arsenals with weapons such as rifles, useful for the impending conflict with the Antipolo regime. TV towers were also restored. As a first line of defense against Antipolo's attack a naval blockade is set up on the northern seaboard of Cebu, Aklan, and Negros, augmented by massing of troops in Northern Cebu, Aklan, and Northern Negros. P1010063.jpg
 * Kingdom of the Philippines: The Philippines rapidly expands into the Bicol region and the island of Mindoro. In addition, the Philippines plans to expand into Visayas (to counter the illegitimate Cebu-based regime) and Palawan within the next months. There is heavy emphasis on economic autarky and self-sufficiency, outdated farming methods are removed from use and newer ones like hydroponics become widespread. There is also heavy emphasis on human capital, including education and more. The Philippine economy begins to experience rapid domestic consumption-led industrial growth motivated by the ambitions of militarily-dominating the Southeast Asian region. The economy further monopolises as huge, family-owned business conglomerates rapidly grow and expand. Urban infrastructure is improved and modern technologies (such as automation systems) are introduced into outdated facilities to improve productivity per worker. Long-range communications infrastructure is restored and used to communicate with surviving regimes. The Philippines invades the Cebu-based regime and bans all leftist, intolerant, extremist, fascist and nationalist ideologies.
 * Siberian Diplomacy: We request that both governments of the Philippines step down and place a transitional government in control of the archipielago, which will then host elections after a period of time decided by the parties agreeing to this.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: We support the Siberian proposal.
 * Australian Dip: We support the Siberian proposal as we fear that conflict between the two nations will result to all out war.
 * José Marocs refuses to accept the Siberian proposal due to the facist, intolerant and nationalist nature of our southern brethren. 
 * Caribbean Union: We accept all the alliance proposals sent to us, and continue broadcasting to make contact with survivors. We recognize the USA as the sole legitimate government but question why they need it. We expand and take up as much of Cuba as we can, attempted landings in Haiti are unsuccessful.
 * United Kingdom of the Celts: Following our failed invasion of Wales, we send the rest of our troops back to Ireland. We begin supporting Celtic nationalist groups in Wales, and we begin giving them our military supplies. We continue to refuse to recognise the Welsh Liberation Front as a legitimate government.
 * Republic of New Zealand: Following the nuclear winter that has been lifted, the food shortages is still the problem in this world. So far more concerns about post-atomic horror that it continues with some various mutant beasts roaming the land. We continue to recruit more troops as much as possible. We still expand 15px to the north.
 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: We offer New Zealand an alliance with us.
 * Australian Dip: We will send a helicopter full of food for exchange of military equipment and firearms.
 * New Zealand Dip: We accept an alliance with USA.
 * People's Republic of Siberia: As we run into more groups, our military finally encounters an enemy more organised than what we have seen: the Mongols. [Moderator Response on this regard, please] As we continue our expansion, the situation is not going well in the region and much less with the recently encountered Mongols. We begin to send some our generals further north as the winter calms on military campaigns to conquer the nearby lawless zones to absorb them into Siberia. As a result of our confrontation with the Mongols, we officially begin to declare them and any affiliates with them as enemies of Siberia. We continue improving infrastructure, and agricultural assets and begin technological investments. Contact with the two Philippines is sent, asking for both governments to step down and requests the placement of a transitional government in the Philippines.
 * Islamic Alliance: We begin to rebuild madrasas (religious schools),Jails,printing machines,TVs and cities affected by the war. Madrasas become very popular because it gives people some where to live,eat,and learn religion,science,math,Arabic, and history.Hand craned radios become the TV for now.We begin to set up Water purification areas where people come to clean their water and learn more about radiation animals begin to be domesticated and some are killed for food. Our Militias and Ex Military begin to organize and train each other under command of our Malik,while they are are send to madrasas to know why their fighting,We begin to send troops to Syria,Iraq, and Jordan to the town of Deir ez-Zur,Tikrit,Arar,Samarra, and Ad Dumayr. we begin to work on stocking up food,water, and, everything. Raiders are all sent to a firing squad,unless they give up.We tell the people the winter and Nuclear war was a punishment and test from Allah and who ever help us will pass the test. Seeing groups of people (simpletons) on war against pre war tec we have imams and sheiks declare a fatwa against them, any one found in these groups will be sent to jail. We begin a assault on Damascus,Arar, and Ar Raqqah.We begin to work on the quickest way of killing the new mutants,by studying them.We find 2 American journalist hiding in a Baghdad hotel close to death, we hospitalize them not sure what to do with them our Malik say "we'll keep them until their healed." We begin to work on set up trade routes across our land sending this to anyone to Asia,North Africa,Europe [player response needed] 
 * (to N Africa and N west Asia ) "Hello this is the Islamic Alliance and we are setting up traders routes in our land would you like to trade."
 * (to South & North East Asia) Hello [static] we ar-[static] setting up trade rou-[static] in our lan-[static] would you like to trade"
 * (to Europe) "Hello this is the Islamic Alliance and we are setti-[static] up traders routes in our land would you like to trade."


 * Flag_of_the_USA_with_67_stars_by_BF1395.svgUSA: With the end of the harsh Nuclear Winter, we get to work restoring the city of Colorado Springs. In the meantime, we expand 15px north towards Denver. We send scouting parties north, south, east and west to chart out the land across Colorado, as far as the state border. Also, messengers are sent on a long and harsh journey to the East Coast, to spread the news that the US still exists. However, we do not send any scouts beyond the demarkation line at the Kansas-Colorado Border, to avoid breaching the treaty. (SECRET: Our spies evacuate Final Command territory before they are discovered, they report back to us vital information on the Final Command). Meanwhile, we send platoons of our 10,000 strong force out to patrol the wastes and aid survivors and guide them back to secure United States territory. The President enacts a harsh policy on raiders, ordering troops to kill on sight. The President also issues an executive order, declaring those affiliated Simpletons to be a criminals and issuing a warrant for their arrest. As we attempt to quell the violence in the wastes, we encounter monk of the Albertian Order Of St. Leibowitz, a group nominally affiliated with the Catholic Church. We vow to offer whatever support to their order, but we cannot do much at the moment, as the order is located far south in New Mexico. We continue to upgrade our infastructure, train our populace in combat, expand our territory and population and re-establish contact with the outside world.


 * Chinese Empire: Economy, infrastructure and military improve and supplies are produced or discovered. Continues rebuilding everything all that has been destroyed by nukes. Population continues to grow by finding as scouts survivors of all over China to join the unified Chinese Empire. More houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, shops and mining plants are rebuilt. Roads, railroads and farms are rebuilt or improved and cities continue to rebuild and grow. Education is improved and more educational buildings are rebuilt. Broadcast towers are built or rebuilt to spread propaganda across surrounding areas to contact with remaining Chinese survivors, tribes and clans on radio and TVs and then joining the Chinese Empire as citizens much easier. China expends 15px east. Emperor Hui Xuang continues to plan new reforms for China and continues investing heavily in technology and science.


 * Welsh Rebellion Front: We continue to expand 50 pix, hopefully reuniting it soon from the evil tribes. We continue to recruit more men for the army, we have got a grand total of approximately 1000, roughly half being in the former British Army. We gather supplies for the upcoming nuclear survival. Thankfully, because of no nukes landing in our present area, al of our infrastructure is nearly fine, with only a little bit of fallout coming from the Swansea bomb. We consider changing our name to the 'Welsh Republic' of the 'Welsh Federation'. We offer to the people of South Wales to peacefully join us and live a rich and peaceful life. (Mod response needed). We also reach contact with the survivors of the U.S, we would like First Comand and the U.S. To give us food. We offer them a temperary alliance with anybody if they accept us the ruler of Wales, Cornwall and Devon. We demand that the Celts give us reparation for there invasion of Wales and also give us 4 airplanes and 1 tank. We also say that we need some money for the infastucture that they damaged when they were here. We build our military. We also welcome immigrants from South England and Wales if the men go in the army, the women stay home and raise a family. Many people immigrate to us for a better life and not sicknes. We try not to let most people starve. We begin to rebuild from the Celtic Invasion of Wales, rebuilding towns and Tenby (which they destroyed when they was here), the capital is moved to Haverfordwest teperary. Meetings are held in Havardwest Hall now. We begin building remorials in all the towns in our country, with 4,000 flowers to represent how many Weslg soldiers died protecting us.
 * Mod Response: People of South Wales do join to Welsh Rebellion Front but they have seriously big doubts about your rule.
 * Celtic Dip: We refuse to give the Welsh pretenders reparations, and we continue to militarily fund Celtic nationalists within their territory.


 * FC_flag.pngFinal Command: With the Snow Raiders problem dealt with, General McCollum can finally move to his main objective: the annexion of Kansas City (or what's left of it). Being one of the biggest cities in the region before the Nukes, it could be turn into a symbol of Final Command's power in the States. Although the 1st Infantry Divison possessed an Artillery Brigade, it isuse for defenses purposes only. And the road too Kansas City is long. Under the suppervision of Lt. Colonel Cohen, numerous motorcycles are salvaged or taken in order to be used as transportation for the military. A third of the forces of Final Command are send under Lt. Colonel Cohen command to annex Kansas City, most of them going on bikes. Kansas City is annexed.
 * News came that some spies from McNamara could have join Final Command through the conscription with fake papers, although a search provide no final evidence of spies. And saddly, the spy network of Final Command is a mess, unable to get vital information on McNamara's administration. However, news from travellers teling that the McNamara is sending messages up West to tell of the survival of the USA. General McCollum decide to do the same, sending messengers in the East to spread the survival of the US Military. Final Command also continue to recruit new soldiers and to rebuild te cities under its control. 


 * Union of Tuvalu and the Cook Isles:We notice some people who hate technology,we decide to arrest these enemies of technology. We hope to gain control of Tuvalu and the rest of the Cook Islands. We expand 7 pixels to the west and 4 pixels to the east. We attempt to contact more survivors near us.
 * Australian Dip:'We propose an alliance.
 * Cook/Tuvaluan Dip:'We accept the alliance with Australia.


 * Cascadian Conglomerate: After much struggle on Vancouver Island a hegemony is established by a pseudo-fascist aristocratic organization that united the island. As the prime objective of the newly-formed Conglomerate is survival, many farms and greenhouses are set up on the newly-unified island and the government begins to subsidize sheep farmers to an extent, as the Archduke wants to ensure that the populace has a variety of warm clothing made from wool. The general stance on the Conglomerate is that any God that may have existed before the nuclear catastrophe had forsaken humanity, and subsequently all pre-war houses of worship are taxed heavily. Scavengers and hunting parties alike are sent throughout Vancouver Bay, particularly to the ruins of Vancouver and Seattle to scavenge technology and food, as well as to bring back any willing survivors. A type of legion system is organize in the military, with each of the currently-three legions having regular equipment as dictated by their respective Legate. However, the Archduke also creates his own personal army that answers solely to the executive branch as to prevent any type of coup or large power struggle. As technology is hoarded it is hoped that within the coming year contact with the outside world could be established.


 * Australian Confederation: Seeing as how the nuclear winter have been lifted, we expand North 7 px and West 8 px. Our population is boosted due to the amount of refugees who came due to or bunkers and fallout shelters from the Nuclear Winter. We send diplomats to the Grafton, Tamworth and Orange tribes to form an alliance and if possible, try to accept them to the Confederation (Mod Response needed). The deserted city of Cessnock is annexed but soldiers struggled to annex the city due to the Simpletons. Some soldiers are traumatised due to to the Simpletons. We mobilise troops to the border to keep out from continuous Simpleton raids and attacks. Finding a simpleton Camp nearby our border we conduct a full blitzkrieg of the camp. As we discover a radio dish in Cessnock, attempts to contact the outside world is resumed. (Player response needed). Economy and infrastructure is improved and infrastructure are continuously built.
 * Mod Response: Tribes of Tamworth graciously accept to join the Confederation and Tribes of Orange seem undecided. Turns out that tribes of Grafton are sided with Simpletons, they even attack your diplomat.
 * Fighters.png Fighters of Buddha: Gree[static]-ngs from [static]! We send this [static] see [static]-vivors around. A [static] or a signal of [SIGNAL LOST]

 * Nationalist_Front_of_Japan_War_Flag_(Land_of_Empires).png First Order of Japan: The Japanese islands remain largely intact with few places hit. Tokyo begins reconstruction. The First Order is established with a large military force of 10,000 troops from the former JGSDF. We group together our fleet (largely intact) and we send aid to other regions in the islands affected by the nuclear fallout.
 * Former USSR: Much of European Russia has been reduced to radioactive rubble. Some pockets in Siberia have survived unscathed. 
 * Mod Response: Thank you for joining back to the game!
 * Jakartan Empire: As the Simpletons begin to fight us, we ask the smaller countries of East Java and the Republic of Semarang for a merger, to become the Javanese Empire (MOD RESPONSE). We improve our military, and use conscription to fight the forces. We invest in schools, and spread propaganda which favors social order.
 * Mod Response: Republic of Semarang joins your empire but turns out that the space between Jakarta and Semarang is occupied by the Simpletons.
 * Alliance of Northern English counties: We offer coal, lead and zinc to anyone in exchange for industrial machinery to anyone. We push up into Scotland and take everything south of Edinburgh and Glasgow while we keep a stern policy on refugees. Simpletons are shot on sight while at Whitehaven we start constructing a mostly timber based fleet using our limited resources.
 * The Alliance of the Scottish Isles: With food storage now under control we begin to gather men and start taking over the North of Scotland aiming towards Inverness. 5 ships also head to the Outer Hebredies to see how the populace there are doing and whether they would join this temporary alliance. (Mod Response needed). Outside of the Reverends influence a small group of fishermen begin raiding parties on the further south parts of Scotland for resources. Finally we also salvage a small radio and begin sending a small localized signal to determine what other groups have survived down south in the United Kingdom. (British Isles players' response needed)
 * Mod Response: People of the Outer Hebrides seem divided, Isles of Lewis and Harris join the alliance but the others refuse. Turns out that the Island of Barra is occupied by the Simpletons, they attack your ship.
