Dawn of War (Map Game)

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

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

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

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


 * The main goal of these rules are to keep the game realistic. Every turn must be plausible and no one can achieve world domination in ten turns,
 * A turn is one day. Each turn is composed of actions, which can be militaristic, economic, diplomatic or constructive.
 * Turns begin at 12:00 PM CST (5:00 PM UTC/1:00 PM EST). Do not edit past turns.
 * Any conquered lands have their inhabitants, and they must be dealt with.
 * Keep in mind the linguistic effects of conquering and colonisation.
 * Every five years a map is to be made. A moderator marked as the Mapmaker will edit the map.
 * Every map must be saved as a .png on the current map template.
 * Each player will "call" a nation, this will be their main nation.
 * The moderators of this game have the power to grant and regulate all technology for each state as well as regulate plausibility. They also have the right to create random yet plausible and fair events in any and every nation throughout the course of the game.
 * Espionage is allowed and will be detailed later, there is a clear distinction between espionage and meta-gaming.
 * Alliances and unions are allowed as is bargaining to achieve these, although remember to be plausible.
 * If a nation is inactive then it is considered to have become isolationist and is fair game for conquering and attacking. However, there will be resistance.
 * There are super-national confederations (e.g., The Holy Roman Empire, The Kalmar Union, The European Union, The African Union, etc). They function like alliances and can be broken and formed.
 * You can commission privateers to raid a nation's shipping but they will reduce relations with the nation you hired them against.
 * The game ends in the present year.
 * Profile pages for your state are highly recommended. See here for an example.
 * If you are new, you may start the game in the turn that you joined.
 * No editing any past turns to contradict events which have already happened.
 * Not everyone can have an industrialized, liberal, stable, peaceful nation.
 * Unless your nation has been annexed in a war or vassalized as a result of war (see the mods for the last one), you may not switch nations.

1959.0
The Budapest accords continue with the war footing remaining until a final peace is concluded.

'''The PRC suffers heavily from supply shortages attempting to keep its massive army in place and its worried that the Army may collapse before the Beijing offensive can take place. The thought of peace, however, as well as a legal Communist Party brings some more moderate PRC leaders to the table in Budapest'''

'''South Africa continues to see increased white immigration as thousands leave Europe. Australia sees a similar increase as white settlers continue to immigrate to Australia.'''

'''A Famine occurs in China with upwards of 70 million Chinese without potential access to enough food. The Civil war and nuclear weapons use are blamed for this.'''

''' The Italian offensive into Albania while minor sees relations between NATO and Warsaw Pact countries deteriorate. They see much condemnation from Poland. '''

''' Can all major powers involved in the Budapest Accords please vote on whether to fully apply them or not. '''


 * Italy: Italian officials are shocked at Yugoslav incursions into Albania, which they believe are unprovoked. Bombing runs with the 250 new bombers constructed in the last half-year begin against the Yugoslav blockade. Italian troops in Albania prepare for a defensive, knowing the blockade will prevent them from retreating. Heavy aircraft and naval production continue. More heavy industry is constructed in Naples and Florence, and construction of facilities begins in Venice and Milan. Recruitment has brought the number of troops in Italy to 350,000, and these troops begin an offensive in northern Yugoslavia. nuclear production slows, with the final outcome leaving Italy with five missiles.
 * Albania: The Albanian people see the Yugoslav offensive as a way for Yugoslavia to assert hegemony over them. The provisional government begins recruitment for an Albanian army, and manages to gain 2000 recruits. Propaganda begins spreading promoting Albanian nationalist and anti-Communist sentiment. Reconstruction and industrialization continue.
 * United States: American industry and economy continues to grow exponentially after the end of the War. The industrial sector redirects their efforts from the previous war effort to domestic products. As a result, technologies such as automobiles and television become more prevalent in the nation. Other electronic media also starts going to production as well, based on the miraculous devices that cracked the enigma code years earlier. Much federal funding is poured into developing long-range nuclear missiles, as well as extra-terrestrial rockets. The population of the US grows rapidly after the end of the war, leading to this next generation being referred to as "Baby Boomers". Swing music becomes most popular among teenage jazz fans. After completely withdrawing from Europe, the only American military outposts remain in the Pacific Island territories and the Caribbean. Surplus of soldiers enlisted in the war are mostly retained. The Mexican border remains fortified on the alert for illegal immigration and any other possible incursion. Segregation continues in most states, and the predominant Anglo-Saxon population of America sees discrimination against Africans and Japanese. The FBI-run Office of Unamerican Activity begins revewing government employees in the hopes of uncovering any Soviet spies, while the CIA continues sending spies to Russia. The blockade of the South China Sea and the Aegean with Turkey continues. Seeing great popular support against both conflicts, President Dewey and Congress resolves the conflicts in both Greece and Vietnam, removing the last of the troops but leaving military bases there.   The CIA continues secretly supplying anti-Soviet groups in Central Asian nations of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. A secret CIA mission known as Operation: Marlowe begins orchestrating a coup to overthrow the Shah of Afghanistan and replace him with a radical Nizari Muslim Republic. Oil and other natural resources are now coming from India, Kurdistan and Iran.   Economic aid is given to the new Hungarian nation to help spread democracy in the Balkans. Financial aid still goes to Syria, Egypt and Israel. After securing control over Manchuria, the remaining 400,000 troops press south to join the Indian counter-offensive against the remaining Communist forces around Beijing. They are concentrated through Liaoning with the Gobi desert to one side and the Yangtze River controlled by naval vessels on the other.  Humanitarian efforts also continue by the military in China.  Many Americans mourn for the lives lost in Nome and Portland, with many seeing this as proof of the Russians as worse monsters than the Fascists of World War II. The US strongly encourages France to accept the Budapest Accords the war in Europe continues. Military occupation ends in Siberia but some American bases are kept on the Bering Islands. Nuclear bases are built in Alaska and Yukon to detect and respond to Soviet attacks in a moment's notice.
 * The United Kingdom: We continue our offensive in China covering most of the east coast and meet the Indian soldiers around Tibet and Myanmar. We wish the Republic of China to take full control of Chinese land and all members of the Chinese Communist Party sentenced to a life in prison. We ask the Arab states if we can join their new organisation because the nations in the Middle East are some of our biggest concerns at the moment. (will add more later. Can someone leave the link to the Suez Canal negotations for me?)
 * Portuguese West Africa: Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. Modernisation of the colonial militias also occurs with the creation of a national guard made up entirely of Portuguese Africans (it numbers 3000 men) as well as military restructuring and replacing of outdated equipment. Control of the military is transferred to Portugal as per the self governance agreement. The colonial government also begins encouraging emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola. Following the successful defence of the Congo over 15,000 POW's have been captured, along with their equipment which has been absorbed into our current military stockpile.
 * British West Africa: We improve the infrastructure. We modernize the buildings and build some rails and roads to our bordering countries. Naval ships constructed successfully. Apart from recruiting more troops, the military stands 300,000 troops in total.
 * Yugoslavia: We now face a difficult decision, defend North Yugoslavia or concentrate on Albania. After much thought, Tito decides to withdraw all troops from Albania after they abandoned Communism and concentrate on defending and attacking in North Yugoslavia. We begin a blockade of Albania. We continue to research in nuclear technology, hoping to develop a bomb by the late 70s. We invest in science. We build more schools and also invest in them. We build our infrastructure and military. We expand our cities by building houses. We builds few houses. We improve the quality of life in Yugoslavia. We build more motorways to connect Yugoslavia. We aid Communist revolutions all over the word, especially in Greece. We hope to send the first Yugoslavian man to space sometimes in the 70s or 80s. We improve medicine and hospitals in Yugoslavia.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Construction on the Fuji Speedway and the Suzuka Circuit continues.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being constructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out.
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up.
 * French Indochina: Efforts to curtail Communism in the region begin as heavy handed suppression of resistance is endorsed while leniency to defectors is promised. Troops are moved north to maintain French control along the northern borders with China and extensive sweeps of the Indochinese jungles begin. Aside from this, a policy of economic development in the region begins to help restore the economy of the colony and cultural promotion begins. Recently transferred units are sent north to help out the Nationalist Chinese, Commonwealth and American troops bogged down in China. Death squads commit atrocities against Communist sympathisers or suspected sympathisers, as an effort to crush all opposition to French rule continues.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: The French begin withdrawing from Jordan and most of Syria relocating to the Alawite and Christian regions in the east. The remaining French lands are reorganized into the Free State of the Levant. The new state is declared the first new state of the Union Francaise, The Levant state forces connect with French troops that relocated from Egypt forming a contingency of 200,000 troops.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. On the French border we will place 98,750 troops and 371,250 troops on Portuguese border. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. All non-Spaniards have the chance to move back to Morocco if they wish by next year.
 * Spanish North Africa: There is a referendum to decide has decided that the entire of Western Sahara to Sidi Ifni, Rif including Tangier since both have a high Spanish population and propaganda for the Rif to remain. Our 45,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 5000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 65,000 people. We will send a Spanish governor in the area for feedback. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 20,000 Spaniards.
 * French Dip: France requests Spain to demilitarize the common border and talks to improve relations begin. 
 * Philippines: We also try to establish more friendly diplomatic and economic relationships with several Communist countries, and we also reconsider our hostile relationship with the Soviet Union. We would like to develop trade relations with the Federation of America. We still continue to use the economic aid from America, devoting them to our modernisation effort. We invest millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. We fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. We also improve our already large agricultural base. We see our commodity trade volume rise. We establish much more open immigration policies, causing population growth to balance the effects of economic modernisation in the long-term.
 * Israel: The State of Israel accepts the peace offer of the Federation. Politically, the disastrous war has caused the government to fall. A new government is elected with David Israeli Surname as the new Israeli president. Trade is offered to the neighbouring nations as well as France and Turkey. Israel would like to use this trade as a way to show the neighbouring nations that it seeks no harm and that it seeks peaceful relations with all of them. The immigration of Muslims starts this year. Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientist searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke.   The State calls for all people of the Jewish faith to come to the State of Israel. It also calls for those that are of the Jewish faith but cannot come to Israel to try to convert those who are not of the Jewish faith. These calls finally begin to yield profits as a lot of Jews move into Israel. 400.000 Jewish immigrants have been recorded, putting the population at around 2.9 million people. An official alliance is requested with the United States of America, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (respond, you shits). With France and Israel having agreed upon the Free State of the Levant being absorbed into Israel (starting in 1965 and ending around 1975), Israel begins making preparations for this.
 * i never agreed to that part completely, Sean, and I haven't said yes on the game yet. We need to talk first about a few things.With Blood and Iron (talk) 12:56, October 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Romania: We secretly send supplies to Communist rebels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We continue supporting the Greek Communists and the Crown's Communist Party. We stop trading with the Netherlands guns. We remain neutral in the Soviet-American conflict and we do not join the Warsaw Pact and NATO war.  We also suggest a major attack against Athens to the PRG.
 * ​British East Africa: Hearing about the independence of India, an idea of an independent Sudanese-Ugandan state has spread across the colony. People of East Africa have started a revolt and have stopped sending gold to the United Kingdom. We are trying to take over the military weapons. We ask that negotiations of independence will be made for the partition of Sudanese-Uganda.
 * Federation of the Americas: With the essential end to the Chinese Global Crisis, the Federation begins pulling many of its troops home and demobilizing its industry and manpower reserved. This has led to a relative heavy supply in almost all arms, armour, and especially aircraft. The large amount of military equipment puts the Federation at a loss on how to use it. However, with the lack of more military bases across the country, the Federation invests heavily into development of military infrastructure across the country, particularly Air Bases, more military presence to keep a Secured Amazon resource frontier from illegal operations. Along side this the Federation military investment expands into nuclear hardening many of its metro systems, and building underground shelters. Many companies are required by multiple newly enacted laws to build subsurface nuclear shelters which are vigorously checked by a Government organization tasked with the quality checking of these nuclear bunkers. The Federation sees a period of great prosperity setting in with many new businesses showing immense profitability and many industrial centers having expanded well enough along to be competitive with its Great Northern Neighbor the United States. The Federation continues mounting of nuclear weapons onto missiles. The Nation also begins to see many of its Eastern Highways coming together and fully linking many cities along the Coast and in the Open Argentine areas As well as pushing solidly into the Brazilian Hinterlands as well. The Railway systems running through the Southern Federation territories connecting many of the Southern and central cities finally connects, uniting many of these cities like never before. The Federation begins the development of new classes of all ships to brings many of its ships into the modern age. The aircraft development continues as well. The Development of the Uniaõ class Battleship continues with many new technologies being considered on this ship. The Federation Special forces show a notable expansion as the Amphibious Shock Corps is nearly a 50,000 strong force, and the Espadas grow into a large but covert force of nearly 5000. The Federation begins a major program to increase its nuclear submarine count.
 * Yemen: Seeing that there is a little chance of a continuing global conflict, we demobilize our forces and restart constructing our infrastructure. We create more schools and start mining copper.
 * Federation of India: The Chinese Civil War may be coming to a close, but the impact on our nation shall forever be remembered. As a result, we have started to build a great military-industrial complex. Many new companies have sprung up focusing on developing aerospace and making arms, with the competition between these new companies fueling the economy. An act to expand the highway/freeway system of this nation enacted. Meanwhile, airbases are also built as well as nuclear weapons and nuclear bunkers.

1959.5
''' The Budapest Accords show mostly agreement as just a few side terms are hammered out. The main terms come into play. The Ending of the Chinese Civil war begins with Soviet Forces essentially stopping their support for the Chinese Communists and waiting for more orders from home. '''

''' The German Referendum is scheduled to take place within the next six months and within the next six months all forces according to the Budapest Accords are to Withdraw from Germany and leave the Referendum to its devices. The West and East German states rejoice at this possible attempt to reunify and begin hammering out particulars of a reunified government if the Referendum of both nations leads to such an outcome. '''

''' The Rhodesian Settlers request to become an independent state under British influence and to house British bases. This is to maintain the White State mentality of Rhodesia as well as allow the British still a preferable market. This Rhodeisan Union group puts heavy pressure on remaining nearby colonies to remain with the British. '''

''' The Indonesian Nationalist Front finally comes around in the Island of Java. Sayuti Melik leading this movement of nearly 500,000 Indonesian forces lead the Charge for independence attacking the Dutch in mass in the center of Power in Jakarta. The Garrison is unable to fight this surprise assault effectively and surrenders severely hampering the Dutch Prestige. This leads to the De Facto independence of Indonesia. The Nationalism movement here immediately requests help from the Federation and the SDP, while a more Democratic movement in favor of Aligning with the United States takes some power as well causing unknown divides in the islands currently. '''

Tanzania seeing immense pressure from Rhodesia and British politicians as well as economic and political ruin in its future, refuses to allow an independence referendum but instead shows a White governor and several thousand British Troops arriving in Tanzania with intent to settle the area much like the French are doing with Algeria.

'''The French Settlement of Algeria continues with large new White communities springing up. The estimated white population of Algeria is somewhere near two million.'''


 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Elvis Presely makes a public debut in December to a crowd of screaming fans, inspiring a new form of jazz known as Rock and Roll. This youth culture also becomes more publicly active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The Global Free Economic Union (GFRU) is a multinational private organization dedicated to ensuring the continuation of free economy in the world. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. NASA is founded this year, and an orbital satellite is scheduled to launch next year. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. The US sends economic aid and military hardware to the democratic government of Indonesia.
 * The Nationalists led the revolt, and neither side even had a delineated border yet. Until things settle down no way troops and be reliably deployed. Also 300,000 just out of the blue is a bit ridiculous. Even the US didn't immediately send 300,000 troops to vietnam for ten years ... -Feud
 * Fixed. -Nate
 * Yemen Dip: We offer to sell oil and gas to the United States in exchange for cash.
 * The US agrees to buy oil and gas, and begins selling weapons in Yemen.
 * Portuguese West Africa: Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. Modernisation of the colonial militias also occurs with the creation of a national guard made up entirely of Portuguese Africans (it numbers 3000 men) as well as military restructuring and replacing of outdated equipment. Control of the military is transferred to Portugal as per the self governance agreement. The colonial government also begins encouraging emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola. Following the successful defence of the Congo over 15,000 POW's have been captured, along with their equipment which has been absorbed into our current military stockpile. (To any mods are Portugal and The Netherlands still at war?). With the quieting front in the Congo, a census to accurately measure the white population is organised. It shows a total white population of 200,000 compared to the native population estimated at around 4.5 million.
 * Italy:The king publicly transfers power back to democratic institutions at the beginning of August, as per the long-honored tradition of the Roman dictator. Recruitment has reached its peak, with a total military force of one million at the max. The number of bombers in the Italian Air Force (not counting those already in Albania) has now reached 500, which military officials see as satisfactory, so aircraft production begins to slow (but not completely stop), and transfer to armor, artillery and shells. These aircraft begin to divide to perform different tasks. 200 join the aircraft already in Albania to perform operations in southern Yugoslavia, and 200 more begin offensive bombings against Yugoslav forces in the north (though exactly where in the north, I'm not entirely sure). The other 100 begin to use a tactic called "Propaganda bombing" in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia (which is exactly what it sounds like, unless it sounds like something other than "dropping propaganda from planes"). The propaganda in question advertises the benefits of capitalism, and the inability of the Soviets to protect the system they believe will "take over the world" from Italy. The writer was quite tounge-in-cheek about it, and probably would have been sacked if the people he passed it off to hadn't fallen over laughing. Discussion begins as to how Yugoslavia should be handled when (Read: if) it meets defeat at the hands of Italy.
 * ​Albania: Italian forces in Albania receive the aerial reinforcements, and begin to devise a plan as to how they will break the Yugoslav blockade. They decide thus: 200,000 troops with support from 50 bombers, 20 fighters, 20 tanks and 20 artillery would attempt an offensive into Macedonia and Kosovo to liberate them from Communism, while another 200,000 troops with 190 bombers, 20 fighters, 20 tanks and 20 artillery make an offensive into Macedonia in order to occupy port cities through which they could be resupplied. The other close to 100,000 remain in Albania to prevent Greek rebels from getting any funny ideas. Reconstruction efforts and industrialization continue, with reconstruction projected for completion by 1961, save any major incident.


 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Construction on the Fuji Speedway and the Suzuka Circuit continues.
 * Yugoslavia continues to fight against the Italians in Northern Yugoslvia, hoping to drive out Italy from the country. When we drives out Italy fro. The county we begin an invasion of Northern Italy. We continue a blockade of Albania. We continue to research in nuclear technology, hoping to develop a bomb by the late 70s. We invest in science. We build more schools and also invest in them. We build our infrastructure and military. We expand our cities by building houses. We builds few houses. We improve the quality of life in Yugoslavia. We build more motorways to connect Yugoslavia. We aid Communist revolutions all over the word, especially in Greece. We aid the Soviets in WW3. We hope to send the first Yugoslavian man to space sometimes in the 70s or 80s. We improve medicine and hospitals in Yugoslavia. (Posted by Person for AH28)
 * Romania: We secretly send supplies to Communist rebels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We continue supporting the Greek Communists and the Crown's Communist Party. We stop trading with the Netherlands guns. We remain neutral in the Soviet-American conflict and we do not join the Warsaw Pact and NATO war. However, we send volunteers to Yugoslavia, which are military personnel. We also suggest a major attack against Athens to the PRG.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out. worries over the decline of Dutch stability sparks a debate in Paris about whether the French state should intervene in the lowlands and establish a right wing government.


 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria.
 * French Indochina: Efforts to curtail Communism in the region begin as heavy handed suppression of resistance is endorsed while leniency to defectors is promised. Troops are moved north to maintain French control along the northern borders with China and extensive sweeps of the Indochinese jungles begin. Aside from this, a policy of economic development in the region begins to help restore the economy of the colony and cultural promotion begins. Recently transferred units are sent north to help out the Nationalist Chinese, Commonwealth and American troops bogged down in China. Death squads commit atrocities against Communist sympathisers or suspected sympathisers, as an effort to crush all opposition to French rule continues.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: The French begin withdrawing from Jordan and most of Syria relocating to the Alawite and Christian regions in the east. The remaining French lands are are reorganized into the Free State of the Levant. The new state is declared the first new state of the Union Francaise, The Levant state forces connect with French troops that relocated from Egypt forming a contingency of 200,000 troops.
 * Israel offers to France to peacefully merge with the Free State of the Levant to create a federation where Israel and the Free State are equal in power under one government this country would be entirely led by me, Sean). This is presented as an alternative to an annexation which is preferable for all parties involved.
 * East Germany: The end of the war is celebrated but suddenly a new crisis takes shape. Large scale demonstrations break out across the country, fueled by the Communist Party's recent purges, their handling of the war, and a rumor that the government was going to boycott the upcoming unification referendum. Military units are sent to contain the protests but quickly defect to the protesters' side when ordered to fire on them. The protesters organize themselves into a new party, the Christian Democratic Union, and call for the Communist Party to step down and allow free elections. The Communist Party holds and emergency cession and votes to step down when the protesters threaten to storm the meeting hall. A new government is formed by the CDU until elections can be held. Free speech and other democratic rights are allowed and government industry is slowly privatized. East Germany begins to rebuild from the war using allied funds. We supervise the withdrawal of foreign troops and call on both sides to recognize our new government.
 * ' ​French Dip: Paris recognizes the new government and welcomes East Germany to the free world, feeling that the 'French lead invasion was a success and the first step towards liberating eastern Europe from Communism. In a private comunique to Berlin de Gaulle offers a personal apology for any damage that was inflicted upon the German people and offers a hand of friendship to the German people in the hopes of ending 200 years of rivalry between the French and German people.
 * East Germany accepts your apology and Pact of Friendship calling it a new era of peace between our nations.
 * The US recognizes the new government, and offers them membership in NATO. The President offers to visit Berlin next year as reconstruction continues.
 * East Germany: We would love to have the president in Berlin, But wish to remain as a neutral buffer between NATO and the Warsaw Pact for the time being.
 * Kurdistan offers a trade deal, offering discounted minerals and oil to help fuel German reconstruction in return for discounted German manufactured goods.
 * East Germany: We accept the deal.
 * Italy recognizes the new government of Germany, and offers a renewal of the historic alliance between Germany and Italy, in this incarnation as two countries which offer mutual assistance in a combined effort to right the wrongs of the past and move toward a better future.
 * East Germany: We accept your offer of an alliance.
 * Federation Dip: We Recognize this Germany Party but inform them that the government will need to fold into the West German counterpart if the Referendum is successful. We offer to bring back Federation Support for a Germany Neutral of NATO or the PACT and offer membership into the SDP. We also Remind East Germany where this new freedom comes from and we take major credit in the allowance of the East German State to unify with its Western Brethren.
 * East Germany: We thank the federation for their support of German Reunification, but inform them that we wish to remain neutral with the major foreign alliances at this time.
 * UK Diplomacy: We recognise East Germany and offer it to join the EU as an observer so that it will be able to stay neutral and help resolves conflicts in its continent.
 * The State of Israel still does not harbor warm relations towards Germany (be it East or West) but welcomes any democracy, and thus welcomes East Germany, too.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. On the French border we will place 98,750 troops and 371,250 troops on Portuguese border. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. All non-Spaniards have the chance to move back to Morocco if they wish by next year.
 * Spanish North Africa: There is a referendum to decide has decided that the entire of Western Sahara to Sidi Ifni, Rif including Tangier since both have a high Spanish population and propaganda for the Rif to remain. Our 45,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 7500.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 65,000 people. We will send a Spanish governor into the area for feedback. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 25,000 Spaniards.
 * British East Africa: African nationalists protest in the streets, attack any British loyalists, burn down houses and invade British military and diplomatic bases. As the people ignore the British Governor's protests of peace, this revolt gets bigger. Some Sudanese and Uganda refugees are migrating to nearby African nations or colonies. They will not rest until they receive independence from the United Kingdom. British East Africans seeks support from their sister colony, British Rhodesia.
 * Philippines: We also try to establish more friendly diplomatic and economic relationships with several Communist countries, and we also reconsider our hostile relationship with the Soviet Union, attempting to open trade agreements with it. We would like to develop economic and diplomatic relations with the world's third superpower, the Federation of South America. We still continue to use the economic aid from America, devoting them to our modernisation effort. We invest millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. We fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. We also improve our already large agricultural base. We see our commodity trade volume rise.
 * Federation Dip: We will agree.
 * Federation of the Americas: With the essential end to the Chinese Global Crisis, the Federation begins pulling many of its troops home and demobilizing its industry and manpower reserved. This has led to a relative heavy supply in almost all arms, armour, and especially aircraft. The large amount of military equipment puts the Federation at a loss on how to use it. However, with the lack of more military bases across the country, the Federation invests heavily into development of military infrastructure across the country, particularly Air Bases, more military presence to keep a secured Amazon resource frontier from illegal operations. Along side this the Federation military investment expands into nuclear hardening many of its metro systems, and building underground shelters. Many companies are required by multiple newly enacted laws to build subsurface nuclear shelters which are vigorously checked by a Government organization tasked with the quality checking of these nuclear bunkers. The Federation sees a period of great prosperity setting in with many new businesses showing immense profitability and many industrial centers having expanded well enough along to be competitive with its Great Northern Neighbor the United States. With the secured end of the Cuban revolution the island state is officially integrated as a full state of the Federation, with Citizenship being granted to all. The Federation continues mounting of nuclear weapons onto missiles. The Nation also begins to see many of its eastern highways coming together and fully linking many cities along the coast and in the Open Argentine areas As well as pushing solidly into the Brazilian Hinterlands as well. The Railway systems running through the Southern Federation territories connecting many of the Southern and central cities finally connects, uniting many of these cities like never before. The development of the nation's population has continued at a pretty heavy pace with 169 million people and growing rapidly as much more suburban territory and new towns and cities begin springing up between many of the larger Southern Cities. Some notable growth in Venezuela and Colombia too has shown population growth all around. The Federation begins the development of new classes of all ships to brings many of its ships into the modern age. The aircraft development continues as well. The Development of the Uniaõ class Battleship continues with many new technologies being considered on this ship. The Federation Special forces show a notable expansion as the Amphibious Shock Corps is nearly a 50,000 strong force, and the Espadas grow into a large but covert force of nearly 5000. The Federation begins a major program to increase its nuclear submarine count. With the independence of Indonesia the Federation immediately sends support to Sayuti Melik in particularly funding, and secretly military equipment furnishing Melik with vehicles and aircraft in Abundance and also offers to build the New Indonesian state a naval force over the next decade if they request it. The Federation begins anticipation for a potential Indonesian Civil war seeing many Pro-US and Pro-Federation leaders within Indonesia. The Federation makes sure all military equipment shipped to the Indonesian army is to nationalists only. The Election season in the Federation starts interviewing with Candidates Don Diego Alvarez, and Getulio Vargas running on Liberal and Conservative tickets respectively holding majority opinion for the time being. The Lack of want of slums and broken down Favelas and the government preventing this settlement heavily begins to push upwards of ten million people into jobs and open land near San Salvaciõn using the expanded infrastructure to build up the area a bit more. The Capital has become a rising success story becomming the most populated modern built city in the world with a population of nearly 800,000 with millions expected to settle this area.
 * Republic of Malaya: We support the democratic leaders in Indonesia. We increase a naval presence near Kalimantan and the Java Sea. Several reserve units are settled in Singapore.
 * Yemen: With the passing of the Third world war we return to a peace time footing. We continue the expansion of our education system, our new water plant and factories are completed. We wish for foreign investment in a plastics plant. 
 * Federation Dip: We will invest.
 * The United Kingdom: We agree to Rhodesia's terms and give it independence and remind all British East African colonies wishing to secede of the Queen's Mandate. If they would like to leave they need to look at it and agree or disagree. We continue to buildup nuclear weapons and our military. We militarise the Sudan and Uganda and put down any revolts for the time being and hope to reach a peaceful solution to the problems occuring there. We also recognise East Germany and ask it to join the EU as an observer. (Can one of the mods please explain why WIII is happening? I've been out for a while)
 * Not a mod but I believe that the PRC attacked the RoC, causing the West(NATO) to intervene while the USSR supported the PRC, which then led to France leading an offensive into the east of Europe. Doesn't matter much, it's done anyway.
 * Thats the long and short of it yes. -Feud
 * Israel:   Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientist searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke.   The State calls for all people of the Jewish faith to come to the State of Israel. It also calls for those that are of the Jewish faith but cannot come to Israel to try to convert those who are not of the Jewish faith. These calls finally begin to yield profits as a lot of Jews move into Israel. 200.000 more Jewish immigrants have been recorded, putting the population at around 3.1 million people. Israel SECE=RETLY offers to France to peacefully merge with the Free State of the Levant to create a federation where Israel and the Free State are equal in power under one government (this country would be entirely led by me, Sean). This is presented as an alternative to an annexation which is preferable for all parties involved. Israel abstains from recognizing Indonesia for now. The first Israeli Football League is started, with only eight teams currently playing. However, it is still a welcome source of entertainment.
 * French Secret Dip: The French invite Israeli representatives to come to Paris to hammer out a final agreement on the status of the Levant and Israel's position within the French Sphere.
 * Israeli Secret Dip: Israel accepts and sends diplomats to France.
 * British West Africa: British forces now recruited to the military, while military expands more space to gain more troops. The economy invests and hopefully to reach a good income. The buildings and some structured modern buildings begin to build and it could take a while. In Lagos, the population still grows and it could be more likely for more people to live. We declare independence with the UK colony as we call British Forces to go back to the UK. We announce our name to be Western African Federation.
 * Iran: Large oil reserves are discovered in our territory. We start importing it to the USA and to the EU. We use the money we get to improve our infrastructure and to modernize. We ask the US. To help us modernize. The University of Tehran is founded and taxes are imposed on the population. The Shia Aristocracy opposes the governments actions. We offer trade with Israel.

''' The influence of two superpowers on Indonesia causes the newly born nation to Fracture. Sayuti Melik maintains most control of Java except part of the Northern Tip, and also maintains a powerbase in Kalimintan, and a few other Islands. The Democratic leader Sutan Sjahir (but actually a dictator) Takes a good part of the islands with him particularly Sumatra and some of the more lightly populated islands as well as part of northern Java. The general population of these two now fighting states are relatively equal. (The map will be updated with the territorial control) '''

''' The USSR sees a general political attitude of Withdraw, with many advocating maintaining power over the remainder of its Warsaw Pact States. '''

''' The Italian offensives into Yugoslavia draw the Ire of the Soviet Union which makes a Major statement to Italy, warning them to Withdraw from Albania and Yugoslavia or face the Warsaw Pact alone. The USSR diplomats claim the Italians are acting in contrary to the Budapest Accords. '''

''' The German referendum takes place with the Two Germanies agreeing fully to unite into a Single Germany. The Myriad of opinions about foreign powers places Germany solidly in a neutral stance as it sends out its diplomatic feelers to other nations (The East German Player may now play as a unified Germany) '''

''' The US sees the rise of Atomophobia, fear of the nuclear bomb, as the nuclear exchange harming mainland parts of hte United States has put a great deal of culture shock into the American populace. '''

''' The Kongo Region entirely breaks off from its Colonial overlords in Portugal and the Netherlands. The Nation immediately devolves into an intensely bloody civil war with no clear winner or loser, turning the area into a political black hole. '''


 * Western African Federation: We declare our independence to UK colony, and according the colonies look to shrink to British Empire. We officially become as Democracy. More soldiers are joining to the army, then we call off British Forces to go back to UK. So far more buildings build as military expands. The economy invests while industry keeps in good income.
 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly. This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. John F. Kennedy beats Richard Nixon in the world's first televised election, with Adlai Stevenson as his running mate. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. NASA launches Paraclete-1 into a stable orbit above Earth, the first artificial satilite in history. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The US sends 50,000 troops to Java to aid the Democrats to take the Island. The naval forces in the South China Sea are redirected to station troops in Borneo and blockade the Sulawasi Islands. More economic support is given to Prime Minister Sjahir. Meanwhile, President-elect John F. Kennedy visits the newly-reunited Germany, in which he makes a speech calling for "Mr. Kkrushchev, tear down this wall!"


 * Italy: In a public statement, the king claims that the Soviet threats are unjust and needlessly aggressive. Italy, Albania, and Yugoslavia were never involved in the Budapest Conference, and the king claims that this exempts them from its outcome. He also states that the Italian involvement in Albania was only a consequence of its involvement in NATO and would not have been attempted if they had a choice. He goes on to argue that Yugoslavia attacked Italy on its own, and should face the consequences of this choice. He makes the promise that Italian troops will leave Albania once reconstruction efforts are completed and the Soviets assure Albania will be allowed to remain democratic, and that troops will leave Yugoslavia once peace terms can be decided upon. In the meantime, 70 newly-constructed light tanks, 40 newly-constructed medium tanks, 20 newly-constructed heavy tanks, and 40 new self-propelled guns enter service, with more on the way. Additionally, the last of bomber production adds 20 new bombers to the air force. 50 light tanks, 20 medium tanks, and ten heavy tanks are sent to forces in the north as reinforcements, while the rest are sent to occupied Yugoslav ports to reinforce Albanian forces. Knowing that the USSR might follow through on its threats, Italy offers these peace terms to Yugoslavia: Italy will agree to remove troops from Yugoslavia and will agree to a ten-year non-aggression pact if Yugoslavia will agree to remove its blockade of Albania, allow 100,000 Italian troops to remain in the country until reconstruction finishes, and guarantee Albanian independence from the Warsaw Pact. Until terms are agreed to, Italy and Yugoslavia will remain at war, and troops in northern Italy continue their offensive to apply pressure to Yugoslavia to agree to terms quickly.
 * Albania: Being able to receive supplies once again greatly aids rebuilding efforts, though they could still last until the new millennium. Forces in Macedonia and Kosovo continue to push north toward Serbia and, ultimately, Belgrade, and forces in Montenegro continue their offensive north toward Bosnia.
 * Yugoslavia Dip: (Right, this is Person67 because AH28 is away and I am keeping his country going. No way on earth have you advanced that far into Yugoslavia or broken the blockade. If you want to do the Algo's we can do that but until then don't claim you are just marching into Yugoslavia. I can' guess what AH would say and it is probably no we will fight on)
 * Italy Dip: 1. I only said I had forces in those regions, and that they were making offensives. These regions border Albania, so at the very least they would get in. The algo is a reasonable point, though. I'll have to do that. 2. The plan was to occupy ports in Yugoslavia and use those to get supplies in to Albania and the troops stationed there. If that seems unreasonable to a mod or someone else, I can remove it.
 * Federation Dip: We remind Italy WW2 is still fresh in the memories of the last generation and that Italian aggression into Albania and Yugoslavia were two of the same steps taken by the Italians in the Second World War. Italy is to retreat from Yugoslavia and Albania or face determined resistance as well as a Full Federation intervention into the War. As a Response to this, the Supercarrier Lusitania is deployed alongside the Battleship Minas Gerais, the Libertad and Infame Escort Carriers, seven cruisers, ten destroyers, five frigates, and four attack submarines, as well as the newly build Ballistic Missile Submarine Amazonas.
 * Italy Dip: The government issues a response to the Federation's message, which reads similarly to the following: The only reason we even went to war in the first place was to hasten peace. Yugoslavia declared war on us, and we offered them peace terms. Which they refused. Besides, the Yugoslav blockade prevents us from withdrawing our forces, so we need to force them to accept terms and remove it or we will never be able to withdraw.
 * Yugoslav Dip: If you agree to withdraw we will remove a blockade and you launched an unprovoked invasion of Albania. We are defending them from aggressive Italian actions.
 * Italy Dip: We agree to these terms so long as you also agree to take no aggressive action against Albania.
 * Yugoslav Dip: We believe these terms to be acceptable except we wish for Federation forces to act as peacekeeping troops in Albania.
 * Italian Dip: So be it.


 * The Netherlands: Changes its government so that it becomes national-socialist. It also wants to leave NATO because of change of government. It changes its name to The United National-Socialist Provinces of The Netherlands, or in short, UNSPN.
 * Israeli Dip: The State of Israel denounces the new government and does not recognize it. It calls upon its allies of the United Kingdom, France, Kurdistan and the United States to do so as well, and perhaps to undertake more action.
 * British Diplomacy: We agree with Israel and think that the Netherlands downward spiral could affect the weaker West European nations. We no longer recognise them as a nation and state that until they change from this foolish form of government we will not recognise them.


 * Republic of Malaya: We continue support of the democracy governments in Indonesia. Patrols increase near Kalimantan. We stand side by side with the US in this Indonesian issue.


 * Federation of the Americas:The Federation seeing the Civil war develop in Indonesia organizes a major show of Force deploying 50,000 troops to Jakarta in northern Java as well as overwhelming Aerial and Armor support (500 aircraft, and nearly 500 armored vehicles. The Federation on top of this supports Melik and the nationalists with another 100,000 soldiers being deployed to Java further south with another 10,000 troops as a patrolling garrison for some of the smaller but Nationalist held islands. The Federation navy also deploys a battlegroup to Java arriving in Jakarta as quickly as possible. The Federation battle group consists of the Supercarrier Saõ Paulo, the Battleships Natal and Fortaleza, as well as five cruisers, ten destroyers, eight frigates, and three attack submarines. Another fleet is put into the Locality with the Federation Supercarrier Bolivar escorted by the Escort carriers Amazonas and Humyata and the battleship Dom Pedro, five cruisers, 15 destroyers, ten frigates, and three attack submarines. This deployment while a huge expense is easily brought about due to SDP allies in the general area of Indonesia allowing a quick and semi-painless deployment. The Federation invites Egypt to apply for SDP membership. This movement on the Island country of Indonesia sees some issue with some of the population of the Federation who seem to not see the reasoning of helping a far away island nation. This reflects a changing attitude of the Federation populace into a more neutral state rather than militarily aggressive one. The Federation continues a lot of development on its new aircraft, vehicles, and warships with a winning design for the new destroyers and Frigates brought about. The Federation continues building its new battleship with its nearing completion bringing about the modern battleship. The Federation begins to consider retiring its escort carriers and the overall replacement of the Carrier force into a large nuclear supercarrier force. The population movement in the Federation continues with a surprising amount of the poorer citizens on the coast making way to San Salvacion. This leads to almost two million in migration as many new houses begin to pop up. The Government itself subsidizes the housing here to allow for the growth as well as finance quick development of an economically powerful middle class in the Capital. The Capital in this regard begins to see more skyscrapers and large buildings pop up. The Federation begins pressuring Malaya to side with the Federation and its SDP allies during the Indonesian civil war and warns against any seizures of land of the Indonesian state. The Federation finished construction of the Amazonas Ballistic Missile submarine and officially announces the commissioning of the Lusitania, and the Hades supercarriers. The Federation is shocked by the US launch of a satellite and in response prepares to launch its own in six months, accelerating its timetable significantly.
 * Romania: We retrieve our troops from Yugoslavia, and step out of the Warsaw Pact. We militarize our border with Bulgaria and the USSR, expecting an imminent attack. We invite the major powers to the Kishinev Conference . We also ask for help from other nations. We want to ally ourselves to Hungary (MOD response needed).
 * ​The US sends 500 troops to help defend Romania.
 * Federation Dip: We offer to support Romania and sends 10,000 troops, 100 aircraft and 400 tanks to support with plans to send a support battle group. from the Saudi base as well (This is all relocated from my base in Saudi Arabia.
 * The French send 20,000 troops to help defend Romania along with 300 tanks and 70 aircraft relocated from the Levant and from France proper.
 * The UK: We send 5000 troops and equipment to Romania and may send a nuclear bomb (depending on how severe things get).
 * No Strategic nukes. -Feud
 * Italy sends Romania moral support. We would send military support, but we have our own war to fight.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Construction on the Fuji Speedway and the Suzuka Circuit continues.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being constructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out. Worries over the decline of Dutch stability sparks a debate in Paris about whether the French state should intervene in the lowlands and establish a right wing government. French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa.


 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region.
 * French Indochina: Efforts to curtail Communism in the region begin as heavy handed suppression of resistance is endorsed while leniency to defectors is promised. Troops are moved north to maintain French control along the northern borders with China and extensive sweeps of the Indochinese jungles begin. Aside from this, a policy of economic development in the region begins to help restore the economy of the colony and cultural promotion begins. Recently transferred units are sent north to help out the Nationalist Chinese, Commonwealth and American troops bogged down in China. Death squads commit atrocities against Communist sympathisers or suspected sympathisers, as an effort to crush all opposition to French rule continues.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: The French begin withdrawing from Jordan and most of Syria relocating to the Alawite and Christian regions in the east. The remaining French lands are are reorganized into the Free State of the Levant. The new state is declared the first new state of the Union Francaise, The Levant state forces connect with French troops that relocated from Egypt forming a contingency of 200,000 troops.
 * ' Portuguese West Africa: Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. Modernisation of the colonial militias also occurs with the creation of a national guard made up entirely of Portuguese Africans (it numbers 3000 men) as well as military restructuring and replacing of outdated equipment. Control of the military is transferred to Portugal as per the self governance agreement. The colonial government also begins encouraging emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola. Colonial Troops and militias evacuate to Congo conducting a policy of scorched earth to prevent any spilling over of the conflict into northern Angola.'
 * The United Kingdom: We grant independence to West Africa but continue to put down rebellion in the Sudan and Uganda areas and do not recognise them as independent since they refuse to answer the Queen's Mandate and present their terms. We send forces in Sarawak to raid Java and hope to secure it for a democratic government. Our economy skyrockets thanks to taxes collected from former colonies. This allows us to continue to build up our weaponry and fight those that threaten us. We claim the PRC as illegitimate and recognise the Republic of China as the only party fit to rule the huge nation. We round up many PRC sympathizers and members of the PRC Party on the East Coast of China and plan on moving them to high security prisons around the world to prevent them from further spreading the message of Communism to Asia.
 * PRC is over, the ROC has the situation under control and Asia was evacuated per the ending of war treaty in Budapest. -Feud
 * The Crown's Communist Party: We order the United Kingdom to recognise us as the official and only government in Great Britain; If they do not the consequences will be severe and more than one nation could be hurt in our process of taking control. We now have three nuclear weapons in our possession (two that were put in Israel during the Suez Canal Crisis and one we smuggled from the United Kingdom). We also condemn the UK for so easily letting go of the British colonies around the world.
 * What?
 * ​Mods, Do something!!!!
 * Non-partisan entities with nuclear devices is not a thing. -Nate
 * The Crown's Communist Party is not nonpartisan.
 * Nope ... no rebel group playable unless made through events by me ... Sorry, Dude. -Feud
 * Okay. But can you please make them do something. They're pretty much a terrorist organization and have done very little since their creation.
 * Israel:   Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientist searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke.   The State calls for all people of the Jewish faith to come to the State of Israel. It also calls for those that are of the Jewish faith but cannot come to Israel to try to convert those who are not of the Jewish faith. These calls finally begin to yield profits as a lot of Jews move into Israel. 200.000 more Jewish immigrants have been recorded, putting the population at around 3.1 million people. The first season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) ends with Hapoel Tel Aviv winning the title. Two new clubs are formed, one from Sidon (Sporting Sidon) and one from Jerusalem (Maccabi Jerusalem). The Democratic Indonesian government is recognized by the State. Talks with the French continue.
 * Germany: Across the nation people celebrate the reunification of Germany. The American president- elect is well received by the German people. After the celebrations the government gets straight to work integrating the West and East. Reconstruction efforts continue in the east while the government begins an incentive program for increased coal and steel production in the West. Along the coastline shipyards are improved hoping to increase commercial trade. Both the former East and West German armies are brought under a single command structure and equipment is standardized. With the reunification vote out of the way the CDU declares that free elections will be held across Germany within the next six months. Officially we withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact and claim the former East German membership in the EU as an observer member. We send some limited support to Romania to help in their transition from the Warsaw Pact. We also call on the Socialist Dutch government to step down and allow free elections and declare an embargo on them until those elections are held.
 * ​French Dip: De Gaulle requests permission to visit France and discuss the possibility of face to face talks to determine not only the future of Franco-German relations but also that of Europe as de Gaulle hopes to promote a new era of true European harmony and peace and an end to the wars that devastated the continent over the past centuries. Paris proposes the established of a European Coal and Steel commission to not only help promote regional cooperation but help foster economic development.
 * Germany: We accept the French proposal and send representatives to discuss terms
 * British Diplomacy: We are ecstatic that Germany is one nation once again and ask if the new leaders will allow the Queen to make an official visit. The UK offers an alliance and trade agreement to Germany. We also agree with their embargo against the Netherlands and follow in Germany's footsteps by doing the same until the nation changes from its current ways.
 * Germany: We thank the UK for their support on the Netherlands issue and accept an alliance and trade agreement. We would also be delighted if the Queen came to visit.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. We create the “Las colonias españolas” for all Spanish majority settlements in Africa to be directly administrated by Spain. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 10,000. We will create the autonomous territories of Zenaga, Wolof, Peul and Sonaike.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 30,000 Spain
 * Syria: We continue rebuild Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 14,000 troops.  
 * Yugoslavia We continue our research in nuclear technology, hoping to develop a bomb by the late 70s. We invest in science. We build more schools and also invest in them. We build our infrastructure and military. We expand our cities by building houses. We builds few houses. We improve the quality of life in Yugoslavia. We build more motorways to connect Yugoslavia. We aid Communist revolutions all over the word, especially in Greece. We aid the Soviets in WW3. We hope to send the first Yugoslavian man to space sometimes in the 70s or 80s. We improve medicine and hospitals in Yugoslavia. (Posted by Person for AH28)
 * Yemen: We continue to enlarge our economy and start constructing our first ever fleet. We start construction of two destroyers at Aden. We create more education facilities and water supplies.
 * Philippines: We also try to establish more friendly diplomatic and economic relationships with several Communist countries, and we also reconsider our hostile relationship with the Soviet Union, attempting to open trade agreements with it. We still continue to use the economic aid from America, devoting them to our modernisation effort. We invest millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. We fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. We also improve our already large agricultural base. We see our commodity trade volume rise. We remain neutral in the Indonesian Civil War, trying to resist foreign pressure to step in it.

 * Western African Federation: We continue to improve military and economy. Due to the Indonesian Civil War, we'd like to join the civil war to help nationalists. Our construction to these buildings looks to be completed. We plan to build more factories to gain more vehicles.
 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly. This youth culture also becomes more publicly active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. Vice President Adlai Stevenson conducts a world tour to meet with all the important officials of Europe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. NASA continues to launch more satilites, with the intention to reach the moon within ten years. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The US sends and additional 80,000 troops to Java to aid the Democrats hold on to the northern tip. The naval forces near Borneo pushes south to blockade the enclave of nationalists on Kalimenten, with 30,000 troops en route. 10,000 are deposited on the Island, with the remaining 20,000 redeployed to secure the northern part of Sulawasi. These naval forces include an aircraft carriers, five battleships, seven destroyers and 50 smaller vessals. Airforce baes on Borneo are also used to give aerial superiority over Kalimenten. A second fleet of an aircraft carrier, three battleshops, five destroyers and 30 smaller vessals secure the channel between Sumatra and Java, also providing aerial support for the forces in Java. More economic support is given to Prime Minister Sjahir. We ask the forces of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines to coordinate an attack to drive the nationalists out of Kalimantan. Widespread fear over nuclear waste causes all nuclear testing to go underground.
 * Romania:​ We continue the expanding of economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Romanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We want an alliance with Hungary (MOD response needed).
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Construction on the Fuji Speedway and the Suzuka Circuit continues.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out. worries over the decline of Dutch stability sparks a debate in Paris about whether the French state should intervene in the lowlands and establish a right wing government. French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. De Gaulle promises to liberate the Netherlands once more from Nazi oppression and troops are sent to the border along with two armored divisions. Apart from that Paris declares an embargo on the Netherlands and opts to close off their access to the North Sea asking the British to cooperate with this motion. 
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out.

 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region.
 * French Indochina: Troops once more begin suppression campaigns in Indochina but the colonial administration grows tired of the continued fighting in the region and many military and administrative authorities in the colony demand that Paris come to a permanent solution. Paris' response is more troops and giving the administration a free hand in dealing with the problem. One of the solutions they begin considering is negotiations with anti-Communist leaders to grant full autonomy to the state of vietnam, the state of laos and the state of Cambodia within the French union. Meanwhile, paramilitary and regular armed forces continue to carry out anti-guerrilla campaigns throughout the colony.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: The French begin withdrawing from Jordan and most of Syria relocating to the Alawite and Christian regions in the east. The remaining French lands are are reorganized into the Free State of the Levant. The new state is declared the first new state of the Union Francaise, The Levant state forces connect with French troops that relocated from Egypt forming a contingency of 200,000 troops.
 * Israel:   Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientist searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke.   With the recent Nazifying of the Netherlands, most of the remaining Jews there move towards Israel, 13.500 of the 14.000 immigrating towards Israel. From other countries, another 50.000 move for Israel, putting the population at around 3.2 million. The second season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) begins. The Democratic Indonesian government is recognized by the State. Talks with the French continue. The State of Israel SECRETLY orders the Mossad to assasinate high ranking Dutch Nazi Leaders, as it cannot tolerate any form of Nazism or Fascism. The State of Israel applies for membership of NATO.


 * ​The US accepts Israel into NATO.


 * Italy: We begin withdrawing troops from occupied Yugoslavia and Albania, though not all troops were able to leave in time, leaving 300,000 troops in Albania to maintain stability and pressure against Communist movements in the country until Federation peacekeeping forces could arrive. The Italian Army adds another 50 medium tanks, 40 heavy tanks, and 40 self-propelled guns to its number. The first of Italy's battleships reaches completion, but military planners decide that this efficiency cannot continue if Italy ever wants to have a navy on par with a regional power, let alone a Great Power. Research begins into a form of missile submarine, and construction begins on a larger submarine force. Tank production slows to make up for the additional industrial burden. We propose a trade agreement with Germany, and begin investing in the economy. 
 * Federation Dip: The Italian Army is to completely evacuate Albania as well, this was considered part of the Agreement. The Federation will conduct the peacekeeping mission in Albania
 * Yugoslav Dip: Now all Italian troops leave. That was the agreement. You break the agreement and the ceasefire is over. You are still interfering in a foreign nation's affair so get out. 
 * Italy Dip: Well, that didn't last long.
 * Yugoslav Dip: I am defending Albanian rights. You're an imperialist and remind me of the Fascists before your government. Get out we offered Albania the opportunity to become a member of Yugoslavia, you just invaded for no reason. Move out of Albania.
 * Italy Dip: We invaded 1. as part of the NATO vs Warsaw Pact fight and 2. before you offered to annex them. Also, we are leaving when the actual peacekeeping force arrives. Leaving before then would be like forgetting a steak near the shark tank.
 * Yugoslav Dip: I see a brigade strength force in Albania belonging to the Fed as a peacekeeping force. Hop to it.
 * German Dip: We accept your offer.
 * Republic of Malaya: The RMN blockades the sea between Sumatra and Borneo. We continue to support the democratic governments in Indonesia. We send three battalions to take on nationalist troops in Kalimantan.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see large economic and industrial growth. Multiple modern legislative laws put into place prevent a good amount of corruption in the government and limit campaign funding. The Federal initiatives put in over a decade ago begin to take noticeable hold of the country. With New Highways, Railways, Metro Systems, and a well coordinated and supplied military and national guard the Federation has become a relative nightmare for any potential invaders due to the quick response that could be mustered. The Federation, seeing the situation, devolve in the Kongo sends 300 advisors to allied forces in the Kongo, influencing the Creation of the Kongolese KNA (Kongolese National Army) a Nationalist group geared towards taking back the Kongo in a singular State. Further Development of the Federations military equipment continues. New Designs of Destroyers and Frigates are submitted with first construction on the ships to begin within six months. The Federation seeing American Advances into Indonesia particularly Kalimintan paradrops nearly 10,000 troops into Southern Sulawesi immediately taking a Small southern section of Sulawesi and linking it with the Nationalist portion. Within the month the majority of the South Sulawesi province has fallen to Federation Forces. The Federation continues to Supply the Indonesian nationalists who are inclined to begin raising a professional army to combat their US-supported half. The Federation naval dominance in the interior seas of Indonesia allows rather dominant position on Sulawesi particularly the Southern Half. The Federation, however, does make a concentrated move to transport nationalist forces out of their Kalimintan enclave and ships them to Sulawesi. The Federations involvement with the Nationalists as well as the relatively competent leadership of the Indonesian generals has led to Federation training and supply of nearly 150,000 Nationalist soldiers to moved towards helping the Nationalists conduct their own offensive war on top of Federation assistance. The Federations navy within Indonesia conducts support operations for the forces in Jakarta intent on keeping the battle lines in Indonesia stable for the time being. The Federation ramps up its troop concentration in Indonesia to nearly 210,000 and growing they are heavily supported by aircraft (nearly 500) and Armored vehicles with nearly 500 tanks and armored vehicles being in the area as well. The Close by naval concentration also gives noticeable support to the Indonesian Expeditionary force. The Federation continues construction on its new battleship. Federation forces arrive in Albania as a peacekeeping force. It remains a small force of about 10,000 supported heavily by the nearby fleet. The Federation also migrates a good portion of its Forces north into the northern Tip of Java with 150,000 forces solidified around the Democrat controlled portion of Java. This force maintains nearly 500 Tanks, and almost 400 Aircraft. The Federation with more movement coming through Kalimintan deploys another 40,000 troops to Sulawesi securing the northern Perimeter. The initial 10,000 troops usually meant for Garrison duty projects a safety blanker across the Rear of Indonesia with the Naval Supply route in remaining secure. In response to increased US naval presence, The Federation Navy seeing a large US naval force enter the area agrees to a proportional response with the Fleet Carriers Brasilia and Valquíria, as well as Escort Carriers Vargas and Salvçao, accompanied by the Battleships Sao Paulo, and Salvadore as well as nearly five supporting cruisers, 30 destroyers, 15 frigates, and a huge submarine Fleet of nearly 20 attack submarines. The Federation also begins shipping a lot more air support from the homeland with thousands of Aircraft mobilized in Indonesia.
 * Italy Dip: When the Federation's forces arrive, Italian forces begin withdrawal.
 * Portuguese West Africa: Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. Modernisation of the colonial militias also occurs with the creation of a national guard made up entirely of Portuguese Africans (it numbers 3000 men) as well as military restructuring and replacing of outdated equipment. Control of the military is transferred to Portugal as per the self governance agreement. The colonial government also begins encouraging emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.
 * British East Africa: Revolts in British East Africa have settled down and the African Leader in the colony hass agreed to the terms of the Queen's Mandate and waiting for an official response from the UK to officially become an autonomous Queen's Mandate. Khartoum has been made the capital of Sudanese-Uganda and governmental building is being built there. We have expanded infrastructure although out the mandate and with the militartization from the UK, a national guard has been created to enforce law and protect Sudano-Uganda.
 * British Diplomacy: You are now officially an autonomous territory of the United Kingdom. The Queen will be visiting once the new government building is finished.
 * The United Kingdom: We accept France's request and prevent all Netherlander Navy from passing through the North Sea. We request that Germany also helps us by placing embargoes on the Netherlands. We ask other members of NATO to allow our ally Israel to join the orginisation. We officially leave Indonesia now that American and Federation troops are controlling and keeping peace in the area. We declare our neutrality in the Second Indochina war but keep our troops in the Eastern Republic of China, Myanmar, and Tibet in case war spreads to these nations. We wish to change the EU in a dramatic way and think that it would be better to, instead of practically isolating and condemning them, invite all Communist nations in Europe to join the European Union, especially the USSR. We think that this will help to better the continent and prevent future wars from breaking out. The Queen makes an official visit to Germany and congratulates them on their official reunification and membership in the EU. (Question for a mod: Is Greece still in a civil war?)
 * ​French Dip: The French government warns that it will not allow the Soviets to join the European Union and states that the whole point of such an organization is to promote a FREE EUROPE not one oppressed by the Communists. However, the French government wouild be willing to invite any nations of the Warsaw bloc to join the union should they wish And the French promise to support their independence from the Soviet bloc. 
 * British Diplomacy: We understand your concern but if members of the USSR do not join it will be much more difficult for us to reform those nations than it would be by using the EU as a platform. We agree with you and invite all those in the Warsaw Bloc to join the European Union but implore that you reconsider and maybe allow the USSR to join as an observer.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin bulding up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 52,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 15,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 71,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 35,000 Spaniards.
 * Germany: Across the nation people celebrate the Queens visit and the national elections. The CDU wins a majority of the vote and their candidate, Heinrich Lübke, is elected president. The new president immediately announces his intentions to travel to France for talks in promoting greater European economic integration.  Reconstruction efforts continue in the east while the government begins an incentive program for increased coal and steel production in the West. Along the coastline shipyards are improved hoping to increase commercial trade. The new united military continues to train and is given modern equipment. We continue to enforce our embargo on the Netherlands and move troops to the border to assist any French intervention. Also since we are allowing Communist nations into the EU, Germany requests full voting membership in the organization as German neutrality is not required in this situation anymore.
 * Syria: We continue rebuild Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with goals of making nukes by the late of 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 17,000 troops. We begin to work on Russian weaponry making knockoffs. We begin to work on our air force wanting to buy jets from any country that is willing to sell them.
 * Philippines: We also try to establish more friendly diplomatic and economic relationships with several Communist countries, and we also reconsider our hostile relationship with the Soviet Union, attempting to open trade agreements with it. We still continue to use the economic aid from America, devoting them to our modernisation effort. We invest millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. We continue to fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. We also improve our already large agricultural base. We see our commodity trade volume rise as we continue to promote our export-oriented modernisation strategy. We join in the Indonesian Civil War in the side of the Americans, invading East and North Kalimantan and Northern Sulawesi with a total of 100,000 troops. We request military aid from America.
 * ​The US forces in Sulawesi help fortify the Philippine position.
 * Jordan: We have completed our parliament for Jordan. We upgrade our technology for military and for normal use. We also take a step towards nuclear power. We also work on better roads, and we set up some companies owned by our country, and we also have more job offerings open to anyone in our country. Our king, Khalid Mudallal, has started to spread propaganda against racism and nationalism. Our parliament has started to work on rules for the king (such as the king cannot punish anyone who has committed crime without parliament) to avoid any dictatorship from going on, and has also banned any discrimination towards any race whatsoever.
 * Yugoslavia: We continue to research in nuclear technology, hoping to develop a bomb by the late 70s. We invest in science. We build more schools and also invest in them. We build our infrastructure and military. We expand our cities by building houses. We builds few houses. We improve the quality of life in Yugoslavia. We build more motorways to connect Yugoslavia. We aid Communist revolutions all over the word, especially in Greece. We aid the Soviets in WW3. We hope to send the first Yugoslavian man to space sometimes in the 70s or 80s. We improve medicine and hospitals in Yugoslavia.
 * Yemen: We continue building infrastructure and economy. We start constructing an airport in the capital and begin to create a sovereign oil fund. We ease Shari law reducing the penalties for breaking and we are more lenient in our persecution of it.

''' With the Increasing support of the US and its Allies, the Republic of Sumatra is formed in the wake of the American and Philippine Troops taking control of the conflict. This increasingly Liberal state sees the US and Filipinos as Allies and there to keep control of the conflict from spilling over. Recruiting troops for the Military in this state goes badly with many being opposed to waging an offensive war on their own brethren expecting them to eventually come back to the Fold. The Sumatran armed forces only manages to pull together 150,000 troops but the troops are well equipped and well supplied. '''

France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms.

 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin.
 * French Indochina:Troops once more begin suppression campaigns in Indochina but the colonial administration grows tired of the continued fighting in the region and many military and administrative authorities in the colony demand that Paris come to a permanent solution. Paris' response is more troops and giving the administration a free hand in dealing with the problem. After years of negotiations and the Vietnamese agreeing to a possible French client state in the region the French decide that it is time to make the Vietnamese an associate state of the French Metropolia within the Union Francaise. The First Vietnamese elections are to be held in VIetnam in 1962 and French will reduce their presence in the region over the next two years. The VIetnamese State Army is created out of Vietnamese forces that served under the French banner. SAigon is made the capital of a united and democratic VIetnamese State, and local administration is handed over to a provisional council until after the elections. French Forces begin sending troops into the Laotian and Cambodian Jungles to deal with rebels in those areas, while moderate suppression of Vietnamese Communists continues. Paris, however, stipulates that Vietnam is still within the French Sphere and still a member of the Union Francaise.

 * Romania: ​ We continue our expanding of economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Romanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We want an alliance with Hungary (Rejected, Hungary is neutral).
 * Western African Federation: We recruit more troops and militarise with their weapons. Indonesian Civil War still ongoing, but whether we join them, we need more logistics to our army to make a better chance to join the civil war. Unless we take our deal to help the nationalists. More railways, roads and even buildings will be built and modernized. The economy keeps growing up to our nation and infrastructure development begin to build
 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly. This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe.Vice President Adlai Stevenson conducts a world tour to meet with all the important officials of Europe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The US navy near Borneo diverts half its fleet around Sulewasi to block off the channel between the island and Timor. These two, plust the fleet near Sumatra and the navies of the Philippines and Malaya, begin moving in towards the inner sea in an attempt to encircle the federation navy. The militaries in Kalimenten and Sulewasi continue to coordinate coalition attacks to take both islands. The State Department recognizes the governments of Sumatra and Indonesia, and organizes a team of economic and political experts to visit both states and help properly organize their new government and military. The GFRU also sets up training programs for both their economic and military infrastructure. New airbases are also built in northern Java. 
 * Italy: It has come to the attention of military planners after the Italo-Yugoslav War that Italian soldiers are using equipment that needs to be updated. The largest concern is infantry weapons. Yugoslavia had access to old German StG 44s, while Italy had few assault rifles, and this had to be rectified. Research begins into a model of assault rifle, using captured Yugoslav StG 44s as a base, and research into a missile submarine continues, with the first prototypes entering testing in late April. Submarine construction continues to show promise, as 15 submarines have reached completion since August. Submarine production is lowered slightly to make way for production of fighter aircraft. The government knows that the military is not the only part of the country that needs improvement, though. Italy creates the Italian Space Program, with a base in Florence, and begins experimenting with rocket technology. Hopes are that Italy will be able to reach space by the 1980s. Investment in the economy continues.
 * Portuguese West Africa:'  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. Modernisation of the colonial militias also occurs with the creation of a national guard made up entirely of Portuguese Africans (it numbers 3000 men) as well as military restructuring and replacing of outdated equipment. Control of the military is transferred to Portugal as per the self governance agreement. The colonial government also begins encouraging emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.  Forces is northern Angola begin to build fortifications and defences at the border to counter any possible spill over fighting from groups that are getting too ambitious.'  In more positive news huge off shore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporations, along with this is an increased emigration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Construction on the Fuji Speedway and the Suzuka Circuit is finished and both tracks are open. Two national race events are also established, the Super Formula and the All-Japan Formula Three Championship. Elections for the next Prime Minister begins.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation realizing a lack of American Ships in the Area diverts one of the Fleets to the Gap in the Line, with the Carrier Group Brasilia deploying into the Timor Gap. The Federation keeps the line open there with the Carriers Brasilia and Valquíria as well as the Escort carriers Vargas and Salvaçao and their attendant fleet of five cruisers, 30 destroyers 15 frigates, and the 20 attack submarines. The Federation also redeploys nearly 300 aircraft from headquarters in Java to New Guinea, Sulawesi and many of the smaller islands with airfields show deployments as well with many aircraft carrying anti ship weaponry being deployed. With the redeployment of other US naval assets the force consisting of Carrier Group Bolivar which comes around the Indian Ocean Side of Sumatra deploying patrols and beginning to establish Air Dominance along the Indian ocean coast. The Federation keeps the Supercarrier Saõ Paulo in the Interior Indonesian Sea moving it closer to the Java-Sumatran straights as the Federation begins to gear up for a large offensive to catch the remaining US fleet near the Straight between two naval forces and a well armed land army. The Javan offensive is set to begin as soon as the Nationalists are ready. The Sulawesi Forces are also re-organized and dug into their half of the Island with forts and trench positions with forces next to be deployed into an effective counter offense with mobile capacity. The Federation also seeing a major shift in how it must play its politics withdraws its Peacekeepers from Albania restoring the nation as a Democratic government. The Supercarrier Hades and its carrier group are Redeployed to the Pacific with the Federation sending the Supercarrier Hades and the New Modern Battleship Uñiao alongside eight Cruisers, 15 Destroyers ten frigates, and Ten Attack submarines. This force is sent to Asia now With the Fleet being sent to Hawaii accompanied by a 10,000 man force from the Amphibious shock core. The Federation takes advantage of the Bulk of the Pacific fleet being in Indonesia and makes its presence known to the United States. The Federation begins further building of its new Destroyers and Frigates even a new Class of Cruisers being dropped into the mix as well. Alltogether nearly 30 new ships are constructed across the Federation and brough to respective naval Bases. The Federation continues to show major population growth and large amounts of industrial growth. The Federation begins more pushes to mobilize the reserve Forces. The Federation governments response to this, is the movement of the Supercarrier Lusitania to Cuba supported by nearly 300,000 soldiers. The Federation also in response to the US likely militarizing its nearby territory with nuclear weapons, deploys several strategic weapons as well as a large amount of Tactical weapons to the Island. The Federation begins deployment of more forces specifically to the Northern Federation States beginning a more obvious push to build up a large force in the North. The Federation makes a dedicated Counter-offensive on the Filipino Troops. The Federation deploys heavy Naval and Air Support to the Operation using nearby carriers and battleships detailed to the Offensive with nearly 500 aircraft taking place in the offensive. On top of this a large force of nearly 400 armored vehicles is detailed to the offensive as well with plans to blunt and wipe out the Filipino offensive and take at least half the northern part of the Island. This force is backed up by another 50,000 troops, reservists arriving from the Federation. The offensive takes places just Days after Filipino troops pull out leaving nearly 100,000 Federation troop to handle 20,000 US regulars. The offensive leads to a near capitulation of the US force with heavy artillery and air operations commencing. The Federation calls on the US force in Sulawesi to surrender threatening to bomb or attack any reinforcement/Evacuation convoy. The Federation launches its first satellite into space, with attempts of launching a man into space following in the next six months.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin bulding up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We send 10,000 troops to Bali to help the nationalist government.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Morrocan Territories.

 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 40,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * The United Kingdom: We ask to meet with France, the USSR, the USA and the FoA to discuss which nations should be allowed to own nuclear weapons and build them up because we believe that if every nation were to own an atom bomb it could be very catastrophic. MOD NEEDED - We again extend our offer to all European nations (including Communist and those in the Warsaw Bloc) to join the EU as permanent members and for the USSR to join as an observer. - MOD NEEDED We suggest making the Italian Space Program ia part of the EU and let all nations work together to advance each other's space programs.

 * Uhm you can't enforce that offer onto your fellow EU members. You can't just say it's gonna happen.
 * Italian Dip: We agree to make the Space Program part of the EU, though we propose calling it the Space Program of United Europe, and request that the main administrative center remain in Florence. As for the embargo, I guess we just never got around to it, what with the whole World War 3 thing. We embargo the Netherlands until they democratize.
 * Syria: We continue rebuild Syria from our war of Independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with goals of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 15,000 troops.
 * Philippines: We still continue to use the economic aid from America, devoting them to our modernisation effort. We invest millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. We are determined to keep our place as the second most prosperous Asian country in terms of gross domestic product per capita. We continue to fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. We also improve our already large agricultural base. We see our commodity trade volume rise as we continue to promote our export-oriented modernisation strategy. We continue our invasion of East and North Kalimantan and South Sulawesi with a total of 100,000 troops. We request military aid from America.
 * Federation Dip: The Federation secretly offers to help the Philippines economically and militarily if they withdraw from the Indonesian conflict.

Half of the naval force near Sumatra moves north into the channel between Sumatra and Borneo, aiding the navy of Malaysia to secure the islands of Bengka-Belitung. Coalition forces in Kalimenten organize the construction of airbases and fortifications in the south. Bombers and fighter planes cross between the islands, hoping to pick out some of the Federation navy. The navy near Sulawasi moves back north to a more defensible position near Goronato, using transport ships and one escort carrier to withdraw the remaining US forces from the island. A third fleet (with a number as much to bring me up to where I was before) is deployed to secure the Maluku islands, aiding the half fleet there to cut off the Federation navy from that channel. En route to this position, the navy deploys 90,000 troops to take West Papua, landing at the mouth of the Pulau river and marching north. The troops recovered from Sulawasi are trasported to help secure Papua. Seeing the Philippines pull out of the war, the US asks Australia if they would aid to keep the Federation out of SE Asia, as well as offering to give humanitarian aid to Timor should they be unintentioanlly invovled in the conflict (Mod response). 
 * ​US Dip: We strongly condemn the creation of offensive nuclear missiles in the Caribbean, considering that the nuclear missles in the Virgin Islands were purely defensive.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask the USA and other superpowers to help stop the buildup of nuclear weapons in hostile and potentially dangerous nations. We also would like the USA to know that, as our greatest ally, we will aid them if war does occur between it and the Federation.
 * 'Western African Federation: 'We recruit more men into the military. We decide to develop weapons, building ships and airplanes. The roads and railways continue to build for an transport. Modernization of the buildings continue to modernize. At Sulawasi we support US to gain more power because we're joining democrats. The missiles, tanks and armoured army vehicles will be planned to the future.
 * The United Kingdom: After learning of possible war in the Americas the British Army begins sending troops that were formerly in Southeast Asia to the West Coast of the USA (except for those that are still on the coast of the Republic of China). Anti-Netherlander propaganda begins and many British celebrities, including the Queen herself, participate in them. In unrelated news Queen Elisabeth II visits Canada in September and plans on visiting the United States in early January of next year. We also accept Italy's terms and create a space program that will include all members of the EU and be housed in Florence. (will add more later)

 * German Dip: We offer an alliance and a trade agreement.
 * Romanian Dip: We agree.
 * Saudi Arabia (sorry I haven't posted in so long, I've been busy): We see an economic boom, and continue to focus on the growth of our population and industry.

King Saud, while seeming to lose power and spending money too luxuriously, is forced to abdicate in favor of his brother, Faisal, who becomes the new king. In response to the growing tensions with the United States, we ask that both sides try to meet and settle our differences, again favoring peace over all, and secondly stopping Communism, feeling that the United States nd their allies can be helpful if we work together.
 * Germany: Reconstruction is finished in the East and the economy is improved in the West. We begin a massive construction project to improve and expand the the autobahn into western Germany. We open up new universities across the nation and send some scientists to assist the EU space program. Funds and arms are sent to the Republicans in Indonesia and we call for reductions in nuclear arsenals across the world.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations.

Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. De Gaulle promises to liberate the Netherlands once more from Nazi oppression and troops are sent to the border along with two armored divisions. Apart from that Paris declares an embargo on the Netherlands and opts to close off their access to the North Sea asking the British to cooperate with this motion. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. 
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France.

 * French Indochina: Troops once more begin suppression campaigns in Indochina but the colonial administration grows tired of the continued fighting in the region and many military and administrative authorities in the colony demand that Paris come to a permanent solution. Paris' response is more troops and giving the administration a free hand in dealing with the problem. After years of negotiations and the Vietnamese agreeing to a possible French client state in the region the French decide that it is time to make the Vietnamese an associate state of the French Metropolis within the Union Francaise. The first Vietnamese elections are to be held in VIetnam in 1962 and French will reduce their presence in the region over the next two years. The VIetnamese State Army is created out of Vietnamese forces that served under the French banner. SAigon is made the capital of a united and democratic VIetnamese State, and local administration is handed over to a provisional council until after the elections. French Forces begin sending troops into the Laotian and Cambodian jungles to deal with rebels in those areas, while moderate suppression of Vietnamese Communists continues. Paris, however, stipulates that Vietnam is still within the French Sphere and still a member of the Union Francaise.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We influence Andorra (Turn One of Six). We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin bulding up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Morrocan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 30,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 5000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 50,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Italy: (Have we finished the missile sub yet?) Italy declares neutrality in conflicts in the western hemisphere, claiming they do not involve Italy. Experiments into the new assault rifle show promise, and ... (what's the procedure here?) Submarine production, while reduced, still adds an additional nine submarines to the navy, and the new fighter production adds 100 to the air force. Plans are to increase the number of fighter aircraft to parity with bombers. Italy welcomes the EU to the Space Program, and hopes that Europe can get to space together. In a secret room, the king and many military and diplomatic officials begin discussing the situation of Europe as it stands. A decision is reached that could change history (though probably won't, knowing the power players involved). A group of spies is secretly sent to the Netherlands to begin the slow subversion of the Fascist government in favor of a democratic government. France and the UK are secretly informed of this action, though not of the fact that it is secretly planned to be a suzerainty of Italy. (Unless the mods decide that's not a thing that can happen)
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 16,000 troops.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see solid economic growth with natural gas becoming more prominent as a fuel source. A few nuclear power plants has also been constructed and tested near Rio de Janeiro, in the Amazons, as well as one in Santiago Chile. The Federation sees continued advancement of its heavy and light industries, with a Large military industrial complex, as well as a huge consumer manufacturing sector with cars, electronics equipment and various other heavy and light consumer goods being built by Federation manufacturing. Over the past year and a half the capital San Salvación has seem immense numbers of immigrants. Of nearly ten million displaced persons evicted from their slums in the coastal cities, nearly three million immigrate to the San Salvación area with satellite cities, suburbs and even middle class and trade jobs open up in droves. The Federation continues deployment of space satellites for testing and conducts a rocket launch out of the Guyana Space center publicizing the First man in Space Juan Cordiero. This is lauded as a scientific accomplishment of the Federation taking the lead in a space exploration movement headed by the newly created Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration (FASA). The Federation continues to build new ships with the Carrier Indepencia, A heavily modified Sao Paulo Class adding new anti-air systems as well as experimental technological upgrades. The Pacifica class supercarrier is founded on this with the Supercarrier set to be fit to send to a theatre of war or deployment within two months. This ship immediately gathers 20 destroyers, seven frigates, five cruisers, and ten attack submarines from nearby naval bases and pushes north to Cuba. With the US invading West Papua, the Federation takes the final stretch of territory in Sulawesi, turning over control to the nationalists immediately afterwards. The Federation begins a more noticeable movement of force to West Papua moving the Sulawesi forces to West Papua landing the Forces near the southern portions of the Island deploying with their armor complements from Sulawesi as well as the air compliments provided by nearby airbases. The Federation seeing the situation get potentially worse calls up another 50,000 troops to Indonesia with the force beginning the retaking of Kalimintan supported by nearly 300 armored vehicles and at least 450 aircraft (A lot of islands and territories could mutually support each other within decent range.) The Kalimintan offensive followed by the Defense of West Papua puts the military force in Java under extreme pressure. Its decided instead that heavy artillery strikes and air power would soften up the enemy in Java and get a normal offensive going. The Federation also conducts a flyover of Hawaii with a single squadron evacuating American airspace each time before jets could intercept them. The Federation begins moving near Hawaii using the lack of naval presence to give the US a real problem to worry about.
 * The US warns the Federation that an attack on US soil will be met with the same force that was dealt to Russia during the Chinese Civil War
 * Philippines: Our economy still continues to use the economic aid mainly from two countries America and the Federation. Most of the aid is devoted to our modernisation effort. The government invests millions of dollars in our textile, steel and petrochemical industries, which are flourishing like never before. The population are determined to keep our place as the second most prosperous Asian country in terms of gross domestic product per capita. The government continues to fund a massive construction project that will link all its major islands. Agricultural output per capita is improved. The commodity trade volume rise as the government continues to promote their export-oriented modernisation strategy, and the country gain access to a new consumer market; the Federation.
 * Israel: Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientists searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke, and having found the way beginning to produce one. A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 3.4 million. The third season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) starts. Talks with the French continue. The State of Israel enjoys NATO membership. The State of Israel SECRETLY requests that France shares a nuclear weapon with it.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military, and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. With the US. Invasion of West Papua, the military swiftly dispatched 70,000 troops to defend West Papua, raising an additional 15,000 from the local populace, and positioned the artillery to assume a defensive position. Concurrently, the disaster at Kalimintan was not taken lightly, and 120,000 soldiers were directed to Kalimintan, with Makassar and Palu utilized as launching pads for an Invasion of Balikpapan, hoping to liberate the island from Democratic control. The Invasion, however, was merely a ruse, hoping to divert Democratic attention from a simultaneous invasion of Democratic Java, involving 30,000 troops and the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps units. The Indonesian navy meanwhile, attempted a direct blockade of the Sunda Straits, hoping to cut off supplies to the Democratic units operating in Java. The Air force similarly conducted air raids upon Southern Sumatra, as a means to prevent massive concentration of Democratic forces at a single position, who could inturn be shipped to Java by the US Navy. 

1962.0
''' The Federation and US forces continue to fight it out in Indonesia with nearly 150,000 between the Nationalists, and Federation forces holding in West Papua, the Federation invasion of Kalimintan starting, and a massive air war brewing over the Java Straits at US, Nationalist, Federation, and Sumatran aircraft all strike at targets within the others territory. The Ferocious air battles turn into some of the largest air battle since WW2. '''

''' The subsequent offensives by the US and Federation into West Papua, and Kalimintan immediately seize territory. The US, however, meets Federation and Nationalist forces around their beachead. The Federation meets similar resistance on Kalimintan with Militia and Democratic forces giving heavy losses up to hold territory. '''

''' The Republic of Sumatra (also now the Democrats as they are unified with Sumatra) begins a major shipment of nearly 150,000 troops to Kalimintan digging in to hold the southern portion of the Island. The Sumatran forces also see notable increase to nearly 400,000 as they begin to reinforce a perimeter further back on the Sumatran coast rather than in Java. '''

''' The US and Federation see the unsung war being fought but both governments still refuse to outright declare open war on the other. '''

''' The Arab League begins to show a movement to centralize some of its policies in order to create are more open bordered policy in the area and show some unity. '''

''' Algos for some of this stuff will come tonight. -Feud '''
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Romanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We restore the monarchy, with Michael the First being given back the crown.
 * Western African Federation: We continue to expand infrastructure and military. The African troops recruited in the military. Some plans building fortresses and bunkers may go well planned. In Asia, US and Federation battle in Indonesia. More nationalists but from us it's unlikely to join the war. The goverment sees priority over economy to expand, to make more income solid.


 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy. This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe.Vice President Adlai Stevenson conducts a world tour to meet with all the important officials of Europe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The US fleet near Maluku close in to blockade part of West Papua, attempting to sink any convoy ships near that coast. The fleet near Kalimenten moves south in the channel again and positions just south of Sulawasi, half-way between the Federation's two fleets. Anti-naval battaries are built on Maluku islands to further deter Federation navies there. An additional 70,000 troops land in northern Papua and push south to meet with the other forces. Rows of anti-aircraft battaries are built in Northern Java and southern Kalimenten, as well as fortified cannons to prevent naval landing. Some ships, including a carrier, three submarins and two destroyers, are withdrawn from Sumatra to be stationed in Hawaii. Timor is still asked if they need any aid, and Australia is asked to enter the war. Offensive nukes in the Caribbean continue to be condemned. 
 * British Diplomacy: The British Commonwealth and the United Kingdom will stand by your side in the war against the Federation.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continue throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge off shore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporations, along with this is an increased emigration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields. The national elections take place after a hiatus period due to the instability in the Congo, with National Union once again forming a majority government. However, they have been reduced down to 19 seats, with the Angolan National Alliance winning 11. To appease native tribes we allow three new seats in the parliament to be created. These are filled by independent representatives of the largest tribes.
 * The United Kingdom: Our ships that were moved to the West Coast of the USA are moved to Hawaii so that the US will not have to fear the island chain being taken by the Federation. We ask all Commonwealth Nations to aid and join (MOD NEEDED) on the side of the United States in what many British Journalists have begun calling World War IV (which refers to the events in Southeast Asia, the Netherlands and the Americas). Anti-Netherlander propaganda continues. Queen Elisabeth II visits Ottawa, Canada and plans on visiting the USA this fall. The UK begins secretly sending spies and one hundred special ops workers that are part of the United Forces into the Netherlands; there they meet with the Italian spies and begin planning a coup to overthrow the corrupt regime that controls the land. The British Representatives in the EU request that all European nations, especially those in the Warsaw Bloc and even the USSR, join with full or partial (observer) membership in the EU (MOD NEEDED). We also are working with other members of the EU and are prepared to launch our first satellite by Winter of this year.
 * FFS, why do you think you can just say that the Communists can join? Your fellow EU members didn't agree to that. Stop acting as if you're the boss of the EU.
 * Well, most of the EU members are inactive and France and I agreed that those on the Warsaw Bloc should be allowed to join but if you have a problem with it then I'll set up an EU meeting and we can discuss it there. Besides, if the nations did opt to join then ALL members would vote on the nation's membership and you could've voiced your opinion there. Also, please do not use bad language.
 * Sorry for the words.
 * Increasingly threatened by the Arab League's centralization, Kurdistan offers mutual defence pacts to Yemen and Oman, sweetening the deal with subsidized oil offers to the former. Kurdistan offers Iran a mutual defence pact, with both going to war if the other is attacked by the Arabs or if one of the Arab states attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz. (Mod Response, Please)
 * Italy: The missile submarine model reaches completion and the assault rifle enters testing. Reinforcements for Italian spies arrive, and those already in the Netherlands meet with British spies and the United Forces units, and begin discussing plans, omitting the now-abandoned plot to de facto colonize the country. Submarine production is shifted to the new missile subs when they are confirmed to work, leaving the last 5 of the old model to finish production before the shift completes. Another 100 fighters are added to the air force, though problems are beginning to show. The big one is the amount of fuel they would need. So, Italy offers to trade for oil with Yemen and Iran, offering to allow the other countries to determine how they are paid.   We specifically do not tell the ambassador the stakes of the agreement, so he doesn't think he's under any pressure to complete the deal. We do tell him, however, to make it abundantly clear that the specific amount of their preferred good is to be jointly agreed upon. This point cannot be stressed enough. The government continues to invest in heavy industry and the economy, and returns on the investments begin to be seen in force. Industrial complexes are completed in Venice and Genoa, and the stock market begins a sudden and massive rise, investments having finally reached a critical mass, and tax revenue increases to match. With these newfound funds, the government sponsors the construction of railroads to link the peninsula. Italy continues to research rocketry with the rest of the EU Space Program (or whatever it was called). (qui tacet consentire videtur)
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. Our 350,00 troops wil protect our borders.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Morrocan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 50,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 7500.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 60,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Queen's Mandate of Sudanese Uganda: The mandate has sent over 50,000 national guards over to fight in Indonesia to fight on the side of the United States on planes and boats. Sudanese journalists are recording the events of the "World War IV" and the governmental building in Khartoum is one-third complete.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 16,000 troops.
 * Siam: begins to reconstruct from the civil war. The Royal Guard begins to aid in the reconstruction. The government begins more democratic reforms as the rights to bear arms and fair trial l laws are passed. The military stands at 49,000.
 * Republic of the Philippines: Anti-American protests occurs in all its major cities, most protesters protesting that the Philippine struggle for independence has not yet ended, and to achieve full independence they must get rid of all influence from the United States. On December 22nd, a coup d'état led by General President Elizabeth Bayabos and supported by most of the population overthrew the former government and established a nationalist military junta that seeks closer relations with the Federation. He begins the massive expulsion of American nationals. The government invests millions of dollars on its underdeveloped military, though a large portion of the budget still goes to the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. The withdrawal of American economic aid does not affect our economy since the Federation already sends a decent amount of money to us. Our textile, steel and petrochemical industries are still flourishing, and our trade volume rises.
 * Romanian Dip: We condemn this action.
 * Philippines Dip: President Elizabeth Bayabos denounces the Romanian government.
 * British Diplomacy: We remind you that the American forces are the ones who saved you from Japan during WWII. The United States has protected you for the past score years of this century so turning your back on them would be a big mistake. We also declare the new regime of the Philippines to illegitimate and state that if further aggression towards the USA continues then we will reclaim the former Malaysian land we sold to the Philippines.
 * Romanian Dip: We invite the exiled Filipino government officials to make a government in exile in Bucharest. King Michael of Hohenzollern and Chancellor Gheorghiu Dej denounce the Filipino government.
 * Philippines Dip: We would like to remind the British that the Americans had lengthened our struggle for independence by decades and have killed thousands of our kind during the Philippine--American war. We also further denounce the Romanian, British, and former Philippine government, deeming them as the enemies of the people. We demand other countries to recognise our legitimacy.
 * US Dip: We do not withdraw economic aid, and although the expulsion of American citizens is condemned, we seek reconcilliation with the new Filippino government.
 * Israeli Dip: The State of Israel laughs at the Philippine demand to be recognized, and simply sends a message saying that a government that has to demand recognition is no government at all. It denounces the regime and does not recognize it.


 * Yemen: More economic and infrastructure work is done as the nation focuses on building itself into a modern nation. We relax sharia law to allow women to work in any job as long as it is in a woman-only work place. We start constructing factories and power plants. (Posted by AH28 for Person)


 * Yugoslavia: We would like Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary and East Germany to create an Eastern European Space Agency (EESA) and work together on space. Our admit ion is by the early 70s to send a man to space and by the end of the decade sent a man on the moon. We would also like all of them nations to woek on the Eastern European Nuclear Program and hopefully we can develop a bomb by the early 70s. We countinue to work on our nuclear program. We build our infrastructure and economy. We build motorways to connect the country. We expand our cities by building houses. We build a few skyscrapers in our major cities. We would like to buy Albania from the Federation for a prize they can choose.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Yugoslavia to join the EU as a permanent or observing member if they choose and, if they join, we will not require that they join the European Union's space programme but continue to work in the EESA.
 * Romanian Dip: We have our own agreements with France, but we are happy to join, however we want to stay independent.
 * British Diplomacy: Romania are you a permanent member of the EU or still an observer. I'm just checking to make sure I have things right on the EU page.
 * Romanian Dip: We are an observer at the moment but we wish full membership.
 * Poland: Poland joins EESA. In order to suppress the anti-government protests in Poland, the head of state introduced martial law. At the same time, while recognizing the need for reform, the President starts reform. Approved private small and medium-sized businesses are allowed to exist with these reforms. created the post of the President of Poland, who is elected by all the Polish people. Elections are scheduled for next year.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Poland to join the EU as a permanent or observing member if they choose and, if they join, we will not require that they join the European Union's space programme but continue to work in the EESA.


 * German Dip: We offer Poland an alliance and Free trade agreement.
 * Germany: Reconstruction is finished in the East and the economy is improved in the West. We begin a massive construction project to improve and expand the the autobahn into western Germany. We open up new universities across the nation and send some scientists to assist the EU space program.We call for reductions in nuclear arsenals across the world.
 * Israel: Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientists searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke, and having found the way beginning to produce one. A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 3.4 million. The third season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) concludes, with Maccabi Tel Aviv winning. Sporting Ramallah is admitted into the League, alongside Sporting Tel Aviv. Talks with the French continue. The State of Israel enjoys NATO membership. The State of Israel SECRETLY requests that France shares a nuclear weapon with it. The State requests EU membership, pointing out not only its close ties, but also the fact that it is much closer to the EU members than any of the Communist Eastern European nations. 
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives.

 * The United Kingdom: The 1962 European Union Meeting is taking place in Rome. All members of the EU are urged to come vote on very important matters. After helping to safely secure Hawaii we continue to build up our army and move the British Navy to the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico although we (and the British Commonwealth) will not be officially declaring war on the Federation and Mexico until the USA does so. The area of Sabah is reclaimed by British forces and Borneons with very little resistance and readmitted into British Borneo. We also recognise the democratic Indonesian government as the sovereign and only rightful ruler of Indonesia.
 * Philippines Dip: You sir, are metagaming. You cannot just say that you claimed Sabah.
 * Note from mod: An algo will deside whether you succeed to take Sabah, but this is Philippine territory, not Indonesia, so I fail to see how this brings you in the Indonesian conflict. -Nate
 * US Dip: We ask the British navy to help secure the inner sea of Indonesia.
 * Western African Federation: We continue to expand our military and infrastrcture. We continue to build more buildings, fortresses and bunkers. More fortifications can be built for a defense. The ships and more artillery could be constructed.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see solid economic growth with natural gas becoming more prominent as a fuel source. A few nuclear power plants has also been constructed and tested near Rio de Janeiro, in the Amazons, as well as one in Santiago Chile. The Federation sees continued advancement of its heavy and light industries, with a Large military industrial complex, as well as a huge consumer manufacturing sector with cars, electronics equipment and various other heavy and light consumer goods being built by Federation manufacturing. Over the past year and a half the capital San Salvación has seem immense numbers of immigrants. Of nearly ten million displaced persons evicted from their slums in the coastal cities, nearly three million immigrate to the San Salvación area with satellite cities, suburbs and even middle class and trade jobs open up in droves. The Federation continues deployment of space satellites for testing and conducts a rocket launch out of the Guyana Space center publicizing the First man in Space Juan Cordiero. This is lauded as a scientific accomplishment of the Federation taking the lead in a space exploration movement headed by the newly created Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration (FASA). The Federation continues to build new ships with the Carrier Indepencia, A heavily modified Sao Paulo Class adding new anti-air systems as well as experimental technological upgrades. The Pacifica class supercarrier is founded on this with the Supercarrier set to be fit to send to a theatre of war or deployment within two months. This ship immediately gathers 20 destroyers, seven frigates, five cruisers, and ten attack submarines from nearby naval bases and pushes north to Cuba. With the US invading West Papua, the Federation takes the final stretch of territory in Sulawesi, turning over control to the nationalists immediately afterwards. The Federation begins a more noticeable movement of force to West Papua moving the Sulawesi forces to West Papua landing the Forces near the southern portions of the Island deploying with their armor complements from Sulawesi as well as the air compliments provided by nearby airbases.

The Kalimintan offensive followed by the Defense of West Papua puts the military force in Java under extreme pressure. Its decided instead that heavy artillery strikes and air power would soften up the enemy in Java and get a normal offensive going. Battlegroup Brasilia is pulled back somewhat, and links up with Battlegroup Bolivar, which sets up a mutual support chain across Indonesias seas and air space forcing the US Fleets to have to contend with the full might of the Federations naval assets in Indonesia if it wishes to take on a fleet. This mutual support chain helps keep many supply routes open in Indonesia.
 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life.

Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The navy near Maluku begins to openly engage the Federation fleet in the waters between Sulawasi and West Papua, using the batteries on the smaller islands as cover. At the same time, the two remaining navies close in from two directions on the inner sea, with the intention to completely sink the Federation fleet there. Two destroyers are left to guard the Sumatra-Java strait, using the massive anti-naval batteries built up on either side of the channel to prevent any enemy ships from passing safely through. On Papua, the two military forces push westward on either side of the central mountains, using the Baliem valley as a temporary base. They work their way to meet up at the western end of the island, fighting against any Indonesian forces they encounter. The northern force is bolstered with an additional 30,000 troops. More fortifications are built on Kalimenten, Sumatra, and Northern Java. 


 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Jordan: We finish our parliament for Jordan. We also begin to work on nuclear weapons with a goal to create our first nuke in the late 90s. We also agree to join the Arab League.
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Romanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We restore the monarchy, with Michael the First being given back the crown.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 20,000 troops.
 * Iran: We accept Kurdistan's offer. Our economy expands. We sell oil to the EU and USA. We compete against the Arab League for the largest military and offer Israel, Kurdistan and Turkey a request to join a new alliance. The Shah declares himself the Shanshah and forms the Imperial Navy. Tree parties sprout up in Tehran: the Communist Party, The Democratic Party and the Union Party. We open Tehran University.
 * Queen's Mandate of Sudanese Uganda: We send a fleet over to Indonesia and it bombs and sinks some of the Federation of America's navy. We send down Sudanese-Ugandan soldiers in Indonesia fights with the side of the United States. The Sudanese-Ugandan president, Sudanese man Ibrahim Abboud (presidency switches from Sudanese people to Ugandan people) is preparing to visit the United Kingdom to visit the Queen and give a thank you gift and visit Indonesia to view the battle.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. Influence Anndorra (Turn Three out of Six) We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Morrocan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 60,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 10,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 70,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Republic of the Philippines: A rape incident involving a dozen American troops in Subic causes anti-American sentiment to surge even further. President Elizabeth Bayabos demands the expulsion of all American troops, but at the request of the American government, would still allow non-military Americans to stay. Due to recent tensions with the British, the government increases its military expenditure to 3% of its gross domestic product. She still continues the modernisation effort and the construction of a highway system connecting all major settlements. She however changes focus to heavy industry, promoting the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure. She plan to increase trade with Japan and the Federation. The government still remains very anti-American, but they agree that they should continue trade relations with America.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Suehiro Nishio agrees to increasing trade with the Philippines.
 * Syrian Dip: We would like to trade with the Philippines and recognise the new Government.
 * Philippine Dip: We agree to trade with Syria and increasing trade with Japan.
 * US: Withdraws most military from the region, but leaves a skeleton staff for the naval bases left over from WW-II.
 * Israel: Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientists searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke, and having found the way beginning to produce one. A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 3.4 million. The third season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) concludes, with Maccabi Tel Aviv winning. Sporting Ramallah is admitted into the League, alongside Sporting Tel Aviv. Talks with the French continue. The State of Israel enjoys NATO membership. The State of Israel SECRETLY requests that France shares a nuclear weapon with it. The State requests EU membership, pointing out not only its close ties, but also the fact that it is much closer to the EU members than any of the Communist Eastern European nations. 
 * Iran Dip: We offer Israel a trade request.
 * Portugal: We reject Iberian nationalists plans to unite the peninsula on account of Spain and Portugal's conflict of interests, with Spain supporting the SDP and Portugal supporting NATO. We chastise Spain for supporting the nationalists. We also continue to request the transfer of troops from Portuguese West Africa to mainland Portugal. We strive to develop a monopoly over the newly-discovered oil fields off the coast.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. The US Invasion of West Papua was halted by a force of 85,000 soldiers, who were able to prevent any further US incursion into Indonesian territory. Meanwhile, a similar standstill was observed at Kalimintan. Keen not to lose the beacheads established in the deadly Invasion of Balikpapan, an additonal 25,000 soldiers were transported to Kalimintan. Meanwhile, however the Indonesian forces were able to successfully penetrate into Democratic Java, securing a breakthrough into Democratic lines, though the Democratic forces were not completely pushed out of Java.

''' US and Federation fleets continue to dodge eachother as many of the smaller Indonesian islands now become a battleground for aircraft from either fleet, and Air forces based off the islands. At Risk of losing capital ships in the Fleet many ship capitans begin refusing to go through the death trap that is just island batteries, cruise missiles, and a giant air war. '''

''' The US and Federation forces continue to stall out in West Papua with brutal fighting and terrain, as well as constant bombardment from both sides making advances costly and hard won. (Algo to come tonight) '''

''' The Cambodian forces increase to nearly 70,000 while the Laotian forces field nearly 100,000. However their equipment remains outdated, and their ability to replace these numbers is questionable. (Tier Four of Quality and Quantity) '''

''' The full retaking of Java begins with Federation and Indonesian nationalist forces making two separate offensives, with a Federation force taking on the American one, while the Nationalists make a major move on the Sumatran Forces. ''' (Algo will also come tonight)

 A Patrol force from US and Federation navies come into contact near Sulawesi resulting in  four destroyers being sunk on either side and the US and Federation both seeing extensive damage to one of their battleships (pick whichever one you wish, it's out of commission for a few months while it's repaired.)

 The Second Vatican Council opens up with Bishops from around the world, making extensive progress of bringing the Catholic Church into the modern world 

 Many anti-war protests begin to emerge from the Baby Boomers on college campuses in the US, the UK, and the Federation, calling for young adults to dodge the draft in a seemingly pointless conflict 

France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. Troops are withdrawn from Germany and from the Caucasian front as a sign of good faith to negotiations. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out. worries over the decline of Dutch stability sparks a debate in Paris about whether the French state should intervene in the lowlands and establish a right wing government. To avoid the same issues as the other major powers France continues to promote a strong military culture in the homeland and amongst the whites in North Africa. '''French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. De Gaulle promises to liberate the Netherlands once more from Nazi oppression and troops are sent to the border along with two armored divisions. Apart from that Paris declares an embargo on the Netherlands and opts to close off their access to the North Sea asking the British to cooperate with this motion. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science. Construction of The first French bullet train begins. '''
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response, please.)
 * French Indochina: Troops once more begin suppression campaigns in Indochina but the colonial administration grows tired of the continued fighting in the region and many military and administrative authorities in the colony demand that Paris come to a permanent solution. Paris' response is more troops and giving the administration a free hand in dealing with the problem. After years of negotiations and the Vietnamese agreeing to a possible French client state in the region the French decide that it is time to make the Vietnamese an associate state of the French Metropolis within the Union Francaise. The first Vietnamese elections are to be held in VIetnam in 1962 and French will reduce their presence in the region over the next two years. The VIetnamese State Army is created out of Vietnamese forces that served under the French banner. SAigon is made the capital of a united and democratic VIetnamese State, and local administration is handed over to a provisional council until after the elections. French Forces begin sending troops into the Laotian and Cambodian jungles to deal with rebels in those areas, while moderate suppression of Vietnamese Communists continues. Paris, however, stipulates that Vietnam is still within the French Sphere and still a member of the Union Francaise.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * United States: A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy.A protest in Berkely, California results in the shooting of multiple students, resutling in massive anti-establishment culture among the youth. Bob Dylan releases the song "Blowin' in the Wind". This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe.Vice President Adlai Stevenson conducts a world tour to meet with all the important officials of Europe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The two naval forces in the inner sea continue to attack the Federation fleet from two sides. Seeing the Federation fleet near Maluku pull back to help the inner sea, the fleet engaged with it persues it into the sea. Forces in Kalimenten and Sumatra are prepared to be convoyed to help relieve Northern Java The forces in Java pull back to fortify just the regency of Pandeglang, and the fighting in Papua continues, with the intent of almost doubling the manpower there to overwhelm the Nationalists. The local Indonesian forces are allowed to push out the Nationalists from Kalimenten on their own.
 * Iran Dip: We offer to sell you a large amount of oil for 72 billion US Dollars.
 * US Dip: We will accept the deal on the condition of being allowed to station military bases in the Azerbaijan region.
 * Iran Dip: You may not station troops in Azerbaijan but you are welcome to station your fleet in the the Persian Gulf and deploy troops on our oil rigs.
 * Portugal: We continue to ensure Iberian nationalism does not take root in Portugal, though some small cells have begun to crop up. However, the general population continues to see them as crazy due to the media's frowning upon them, and these cells do not grow. In terms of economics, we expand trade and continue to take control of Portuguese West Africa's oil rig.


 * British Diplomacy: We ask you to join the European Union.
 * The United Kingdom: 1962 European Union Meeting is taking place.  We continue the invasion of Sabah by sending 15,000 thousand troops as well as 70 jet fighters controlled by United Forces Pilots into the area (Can a mod please make the algo for this?). We ask all members of the EU and Commonwealth (especially Australia) to declare war, embargo, sanction or help fight against the Philippines (Mod Needed). The PM begins speaking at colleges around the country and raises the morale and draft numbers for a short time. We meet with Italy, Germany and France to discuss the situation in the Netherlands and we (The UK, only us, none of the other nations I just mentioned) declare that if the Netherlands does not change its Neo-Nazi ways by September of this year then we will begin a full scale invasion or coup and overthrow the current regime and make it a state under the EU until things are better there. We also move ships from the now secured Hawaiian Islands to Indonesia and form a naval blockade but we do not engage in the fighting in Indonesia. We ask Australia and the USA to help fortify our blockade (Mod Needed).
 * You have no reason to invade the Philippines when your at the terminal end of keeping an empire alive (you still keep a lot but expanding it is out of the question, Even the French are losing territory.) Overall the blockade makes no sense either, please re-evaluate this. -Feud
 * The reason we have started a naval blockade is to aid the USA, our ally, so it makes perfect sense and Sabah will not become a part of the empire because now most members of the British parliament and the royal family are against imperialism and taking more land would not be favoured by the public. The British Empire is pretty much dead anyways so trying to revive it would be pretty unwise (it would dramatically weaken our economy, military strength, etc.) Besides we are only trying to reclaim it to weaken the corrupt Filipino government and help keep them out of the Indonesian conflict by distracting them. When WWIV is over we will most likely give the land back to the Philippines if they have reformed. If not it will become a state under the European Union.
 * You lack the power projection, you can send some forces, but if you get involved its tantamount to declaring war on a superpower when you're at your weakest since the 1500's. The UK would be able to send a relatively minor amount of ships, possibly something like 15-20, but nothing huge on the scale of the US or Federation. -Feud
 * Iran Dip: We offer to sell you a large amount of oil for 56 billion British Pounds.
 * British Diplomacy: We accept only if you'll allow us to build naval bases in the Persian Gulf and on the coast.
 * 'Iran Dip: 'You may.
 * French Dip Paris requests that Britain hold off on the invasion and instead let the French handle the situation that is the neo-nazi regime in the Netherlands, as troops have already been placed along the border for the better part of the last three years. 
 * British Diplomacy: We are aware of the French, German, Italian and our own efforts to effectively shut down the nation so we will hold off an invasion for now but we do ask that when the invasion begins we are notified and we will attacks from the coast, you can attack from the South along with Italy (if they decide to join the invasion), and Germany from the East (if they decide to join). But we are only allowing a timetable of two years. If the Netherlands has not changed then we think an invasion should begin.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields. Protests break out in major cities across Angola with citizens demanding return control of the oil fields to the colony, despite this as of yet there has been no official statement from the colonial administration even with the increased support of nationalist groups. We ask Italy to protect us from Yugoslavia due to them threatening to invade.
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly  support Croatian, Bosnian and Aromanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We restore the monarchy, with Michael the First being given back the crown.
 * Yugoslavia: We demand that Romania stops supporting democratic rebels now otherwise we'll start an invasion of Romania. We build our military. We ban Romania out of the EESA. We invite more eastern European countries to join the EESA like Greece, Bulgeria and Hungary.
 * ​Romanian Dip: May I just say that I am in NATO? Yeah, good luck. We do not fear you and warn you.
 * Yugoslavian Dip: Reminds that we are allied to Russia which could easily crush you like an ant. We would like Russia and all of Warsaw Pact members to begin an invasion of Romania due to them aiding rebels in our countries. 
 * British Diplomacy: We'd like to remind Yugoslavia that Romania is a de facto member of the European Union. A declaration of war against our ally will lead to your undoing so if I were you I'd be very careful about throwing that around.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 35,000 troops.
 * Jordan: We begin to work on our standing army. We also work on our economy. Jordan also declares that we are going to start an organization called UMS, or United Muslim Scientists, in order to work on cures for diseases, better technology, etc. We ask if 'Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Turkey, Oman, Abu Dabi, Yemen and Afghanistan they would like to join the organization and build a branch on their country.
 * Poland: We allow Solidarność to hold free elections. Solidarność gets 63% of the votes and forms a government - appointed course of true socialism and democracy. Martial law because of the danger of Soviet invasion is not cancelled.
 * French Secret Dip: Seeing free elections occur in Poland, Paris approaches the government in Warsaw about the possibility of improving relations between the two states and about possible French support for a Polish break from Soviet dominance.
 * Republic of the Philippines: Anti-American sentiment surges even farther, and the family of the rape victim demands an apology from the American government for the rape incident last year. President Elizabeth Bayabos demands the expulsion of all American troops, but at the request of the American government, would still allow non-military Americans to stay. Due to recent tensions with the British, the government increases its military expenditure to 5% of its gross domestic product, they also purchase modern military technology from the Federation and other allies. She still continues the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. There is heavy emphasis on heavy industry, such as the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She monopolises several industries and established a capitalist centralised export-oriented planned economy. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure. She would like to increase trade with Japan and the Federation. We join the Indonesian conflict, deploying 100,000 troops.
 * Western African Federation: We continue to build more buildings, thus tanks and armoured army vehicles will be built as well. The economy expands and grows up its income, but to expect more profitable will increase its national currency. The industries will be planned to built somewhere in our nation. More recruitable troops join the army. Improvement of the infrastructure begins.
 * Yemen: We continue to build the economy and improve infrastructure. We keep working on an education system and try to reform the justice system to remove Shari law from our system. We hope to build a society and propose to Saudi Arabia that we join the war in the Indonesia to support the Federation.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues development of its new military equipment, updating aircraft, building new ones, and updating many vehicles as well. The Federation - in particular - shows great development of its Mechanized and Armored Forces into modern variants with some of the newer Variants sporting more accurate guns, better fire control, and other updated systems to make these vehicles much better at operating. Mirroring protests in California, the Federation sees a major protest in the University of Quito which ends in a shooting which kills five students, and injures another 12. Some anti-War music begins to take hold in the Federation as well with local and foreign anti-war music taking noticeable root. The Federation continues to see noticeable development of its industries with Aeronautics being noticeably more dynamic than before. Previously minor airports begin to see new investment and construction with the Federations Airline industry beginning to take off in a major way with the Saõ Paulo International Airport showing a massive increase in Air traffic as the Federation financial center and stock market (it's our New York) begins to take prominence. The Federation however does see noticeable economic slowdown as the considerable diverting of funds towards military spending slows down a lot of government investment and subsidies into other sectors. The Federation population particularly in Colombia and Southern Brazil continues to boom with newly opened settlement areas and subsidies promoting settlement and growth in these two areas, the Population reaches 178 million. With the American attempt to force a conflict the Federation throws up a massive air screen pairing up two of its fleets and a huge amount of the Java air group preventing decisive naval conflict. The Federation also arms the surrounding islands with anti-Ship missiles, and cruise missiles with any meaningful movement towards the Federations fleets in the Inner Sea being responded too with quick and devastating efficiency. This however does leave Federation troops in West Papua in a somewhat cut off state as a lower number of ships and supplied reaching Federation forces in West Papua forces them to consider retreating further down the Island. Colonel Alejandro Gonzales with standing orders to hold the Island manages to get a clear order from a superior in the homeland. In a show of defiance he continues to dig in raising dedicated defensive structures, using the advantage of the jungle to build up a large defensive line along the battle lines in West Papua before an American attack. Bunkers, anti air batteries, and a large amount of manpower is commited to holding the line with the 100,000 force commited to holding the line against the US forces. The Federation following the build up of defenses in West Papua brings another 30,000 troops from home but wishes to bring no more after this and moves them from the staging points on Java to Sulawesi. This movement to Sulawesi is immediately followed up by a supporting invasion of the northern Sumatran controlled portions of Kalimenten with the 50,000 invasion forces hitting Kalimenten heavily from the south but taking heavy casualties, and the Northern Force beginning their invasion with expressed attempts to link up in the middle. The Federation also continues its Offensives in Java beginning the Seige of Pandeglang as it commits nearly 150,000 troops to the offensive and nearly 1000 armored vehicles and 600 aircraft. Constant artillery bombardment is used to soften up or hurt defensive fortifications but is also used to demoralize American forces. The Federation uses its new cruise missiles mounted on ships and the Ballistic missile Submarine Amazonas to shell the city as well targeting anti-naval guns to pave the way for the Amphibious Shock Corps to begin landing operations as well to hit Pandeglang from the coast as well performing a full encriclement of the city. The Supercarrier Hades re-deploys from its threatening Hawaiian deployment to a supporting Role in West Papua with its 10,000 man Amphibious shock corps force in tow, with expressed orders to relieve pressure from the Federation garrison in West Papua. (I'll post ship numbers when I get home.)
 * Can you please respond to what I said in the UK section?
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries.  Nationalist units successfully penetrated into occupied Java, and with massive Federation reinforcements arriving, the city of Pandeglang is effectively placed under a seige. A simultaneous blockade was placed upon the Sunda Straits to halt the arrival of US or Sumatran aid to the seiged city. A total of 130,000 Indonesia troops, along with the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps, and Navy were dedicated to the incursion into Pandeglang. Meanwhile, with the situation in Southern Kalimantan having been reduced to an effective status quo, of the 320,000 Indonesian troops dedicated to the attack, 185,000 were hastely withdrawn and transported to the North Kalimantan city of Tarakan, hoping that the sudden attack would be unexpected for the Sumatran forces, and would significantly offer relief to Southern Kalimantan. The majority of the Indonesian Air Force was directed to Sulawesi, from where it conducted air strikes upon Northern Kalimantan, hoping to successfully capture Tarakan. Meanwhile at Papua, 180,000 Indonesian troops and 130,000 Federation troops effectively kept the US at bay. To further prevent any major incursion into Papuan soil, Indonesian troops distributed armaments and anti-aircraft equipment amongst the local nationalist militias, hoping that the guerrilla tactics utilized by these forces would result in significant US losses, and would further alienate the local tribes against the Americans in case of retaliatory US airstrikes.

''' The US and Federation slug it out in West Papua with heavy casualties being incurred by either side as in some cases brutal Hand to Hand combat takes place.

 * Western African Federation: We begin to expand our military, and recruit 250 troops in our military. After the civil war of Indonesia, we're not surprised of Nationalist Indonesia. Meanwhile, we continue to improve our economy to grow up its more income. We continue to see industry keep continuing doing more expanding industries. More buildings and materials, such as structures the buildings will be built.


 * Yemen: We continue to build the economy and improve infrastructure. We keep working on an education system and try to reform the justice system to remove Shari law from our system. We send a full sized brigade (5000 troops) to Indonesia to support the Nationalists. We request that they fight under federation command and that they can also help be supplied by the Federation


 * The United Kingdom: 1962 European Union Meeting is still in session. We remind all members to vote on the new proposals and Sudanese-Uganda and other colonies that they are allowed to vote. The British invasion of the Sabah continues. 10,000 (the current pop. of the UK in this timeline is around 57 million with nearly 1.2 million in the service so I think this is a reasonable number) (the current pop. of the EU in this timeline is around 57 million with nearly 794,385 in the service) British troops come from China, British Myanmar, British Borneo and some stationed in Hong Kong move to the island of Borneo and continue the raid of Sabah. 30 of the ships used during WWIII that have been stationed on the coast of China are moved to British Borneo as well as 50 United Forces planes carrying missiles (The United Forces is a military organisation designed by the EU so they are not a part of the British army). We ask Australia to support our invasion of Sabah as well as the defensive in West Papau (mod needed since Australia is inactive). We expect Sudanese-Uganda and other territory in Africa to begin sending naval and air support (Sudanese-Uganda is still under British control since they did not sign the Queen's Mandate but asked for autonomy). We ask France to help us take Sabah and crush the corrupt Filipino government by sending support from Indochina. We again extend our offer to Portugal to join the European Union (Mod may be needed). Anti-Netherlander Propaganda continues. In unrelated news the UPSE (the EU space programme) launches it's first satellite. (Will probably add more later but I dunno)
 * Burma was made independent a while ago, and overall the British cant field 1.2 million troops, the British populace and economy cant support more than 800,000 Even the French would struggle to field over a million right now. Please Re-adjust your numbers -Feud
 * Sorry I'll change it. By the way can you please tell me what year Burma gained independence because I don't remember that (plus they never signed the Queen's Mandate and that's the only way they could be independent.) Also can you make an algo for the invasion with the British and Commonwealth soldier numbers and tell me if Australia will aid me and if Portugal will join the EU?
 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy. President John F. Kennedy is tragically shot by assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Adalai Stevenson is sworn in as the new President, and investigates the murder. Many common people suspect Oswald's Cuban connections, and some theorists accuse the Federation of orchestrating the murder. Meanwhile, in light of Dr. King's speech, Congress deliberates over an act to end segregation in America. The Rolling stones and Peter, Paul and Mary debut this year, including the song "Puff the Magic Dragon".  This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba.  The three navies in the inner sea pull back to their original, more defensible positions near the three channels of Indonesia, working more rigourously to transport supplies and soldiers from Sumatra to Java. The Sumatran navy moves in towards Pandenglang to draw off some of the Federation fleet, and using the carrier to give additional aerial support. The leader put in charge of defending Pandenglang is Major General Charles H. Bonesteel, a decorated officer from World War II and the Chinese War. The US forces in Papua lay seige to the Federation bunkers, using medium artillary to support their position. Excess military from this seige make patrols around the rest of the island, ensuring the security of the military base in Baliem Valley. An airforce base is constructed near the point of seige to ensure aeral support later on.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask you, if possible, to help us to take Sabah from the Philippines since we are aiding you in the war in Indonesia.
 * Italy: The government begins spreading propaganda that decries the Fascist government of the Netherlands (and subtly implies similar sentiment against the Soviet bloc). As presidential elections near, candidates begin amplifying their campaigns. Investment in industry and the economy continue, though slower, and investment in infrastructure continues, with the trans-Italian railroad making progress. The second of Italy's battleships reaches completion, missile submarines now number 50, and fighters are now at parity with bombers. Italy secretly informs France, Britain, and Germany that we would join in an invasion of the Netherlands if one were to take place, though we would need to transport troops over land. We also offer to purchase oil from Kurdistan and Libya. Many troops in the army are placed in the reserves, leaving 500,000 active troops and about that many in the reserves.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Italy to send air, navy and land units to British Borneo in order to help us take back Sabah.
 * Kurdistan: Is happy to sell Italy oil.
 * Iran: Our economy rises by 10% after the deals with the UK and USA. We send an application for the NEU to Turkey. We use our money for our armies and educationational System. The Shah abolishes the Shia Nobility and replaces it with a pro-Monarchist Council that serves with the Parliament. The Shah visits the USA for a tourism. We criticises the Federation of the Americas and offer to send troops to fight alongside the USA. Even more oil is discovered and the standard of living rises by 1.9%
 * British Diplomacy: We support Iran's decision to aid the USA.


 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.
 * Kurdistan: Continues its economic development, while relations continue to improve with Iran after the new alliance. Kurdistan begins clandestine support for rebels in Soviet Armenia and Azerbaijan, sympathizing with their efforts to gain independence. Military development continues, with a particular focus on the air force.
 * Sudanese-Uganda: The governmental building is halfway finished. The president of autonomous region is cancelling his trip to Indonesia and is planning to go to the United States instead to see the uproar that is going on. Infrastructure is expanded and improved and modernization is starting to take place as the region improves. We promote propaganda promoting educations and we are trying to built more schools in the land.
 * British Diplomacy: We expect Sudanese-Uganda to send air, naval and land reinforcements to help us in the invasion of Sabah since they are still under the United Kingdom. In exchange for military aid we will help to promote education in the area and aid in construction.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM.. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate. France agrees to the Budapest terms. More military hardware is produced - in particular APC's, tanks and fighters - as older models are phased out. worries over the decline of Dutch stability sparks a debate in Paris about whether the French state should intervene in the lowlands and establish a right wing government. To avoid the same issues as the other major powers France continues to promote a strong military culture in the homeland and amongst the whites in North Africa. French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. De Gaulle promises to liberate the Netherlands once more from Nazi oppression and troops are sent to the border along with two armored divisions. Apart from that Paris declares an embargo on the Netherlands and opts to close off their access to the North Sea asking the British to cooperate with this motion. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science. Construction of The first French bullet train begins.
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.)
 * French Indochina: Troops once more begin suppression campaigns in Indochina but the colonial administration grows tired of the continued fighting in the region and many military and administrative authorities in the colony demand that Paris come to a permanent solution. Paris' response is more troops and giving the administration a free hand in dealing with the problem. After years of negotiations and the Vietnamese agreeing to a possible French client state in the region the French decide that it is time to make the Vietnamese an associate state of the French Metropolis within the Union Francaise. While French troops combat laotian and cambodian rebels the colonial authorities offer the leaders of the movements similar agreements to that giving to Vietnam, and France promises to help the countries develop into prosperous states within the Union Francaise.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask France to aid us in taking back Sabah and making it a state under the EU.
 * French Dip: The French decline to get involved in a conflict in the malay islands as it will drain resources that should be allocated to more important areas.
 * British Diplomacy: We understand and respect your decision but ask you to reconsider or at least send some supplies to the British troop.
 * Romanian Dip: We agree.
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Aromanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We restore the monarchy, with Michael the First being given back the crown. We ask Italy for military protection.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Romania to aid us financially (or provide weaponry) in taking back Sabah from the Philippines.
 * Portugal: We continue to send more white Europeans to work in the West African oil fields, continuing to push Africans away from the oil rich region. Despite the fact that the natives are against the idea, we continue to make sure that we are in control of the prosperous oil fields. We accept the British Diplomacy's offer of membership to the EU, former alienating ourselves from Spain and Iberian nationalists.
 * British Diplomacy: We eagerly welcome Portugal into the European Union. Please feel free to participate in 1962 EU meeting now.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We are disappointed by Portugal refusal of a greater Iberia. We influence Andorra (Turn Five out of Six) and we request arms form the SDP nations. 
 * None of that influence Turn Five out of Six crap. Make a legitimate plan to do it or don't do it at all. The Same applies to all players. -Feud
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 70,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 15,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 80,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 35,000 troops. We join the UMS. We secretly send a letter to Jordan asking if they would like to work together on nuclear weapons.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see prolific population growth but also sees an Anti-War Ideology develop in the country. This shows increasing anti-war protests but polls indicate a Silent majority of the people are still in support of the conflict, seeing it as a symbol of how far the country has come. From a Disunified group of nation states, to a unified front able to acheive superpower Status. The Federation continues to see economic slowdown due to a large GDP percentage spent on military force. However the Federation President keeps back hiking taxes to pay for this and instead draws down salaries of many of its politicians having the advantage to do this through many of the Federations anti-corruption legislation, and Anti buisiness lobbying laws as well. The Federation military sees more of its equipment modernized. After seeing some of the Shortcomings to its Assault rifle immediate inroads are made to replace it with something new and sell off its previous rifle to police, and foreign militaries. The designs are submitted almost immediately leading to the FMI Tar-15 making an appearance. Its tests show great promise and Units with this weapon are to be fielded in the continuing Indonesian conflict as tests, before fully fielding the weapon as the workhorse firearm. The Federation continues development of its infrastructure as well with a noticeable increase in its metro system being known. The Government investment into the metro and highway systems connect many of the Southern cities making settlement of many of its interior territories much easier. The Capital Area of San Salvacion sees some of the most prolific growth as well. The Federation seeing the conflict continue and the US fleets reposition re-opens the main supply route to West Papua but also continues the war on Pandeglang looking to force the surrender of the US forces there. The Federation after several setbacks in planning conducts the Invasion of Kalimenten from the north, acting independently of the Nationalist forces, using its 50,000 strong force in the South to link up with the 30,000 strong northern Force, and then swing back around and set up an untenable position for the US navy. The US fleet arriving in the Area does force a reposition of the Federation Fleet but with the Arrival of the Hades Carrier Group near West Papua, the Brasilia battlegroup is migrated a bit closer to prevent too much deviation from the offensive in Java. The Federation continues to hold the Line in West Papua linking its 10,000 stromg Amphibious shock corps force with its defensive forces in West Papua giving them potential to hold the line against the numerically superior force. The Federation does make avenues for its escape in case it fails in the defensive, detailing fortification construction to the Indonesian forces for the Federation to fall back on. The Federation presidency having been a quiet election season with Manuel Abascal taking the presidency for the incumbent party. He denies all involvement in the Kennedy assasination and sends his condolences to his widow. Manuel gives a speech on the situation on Indonesia and publicizes Colonel Alejandro Gonzales the commander in charge of the defense of West Papua, and General Marcos Almagro, making his first command appearance since the Cuban insurrection commanding the offensive on Pandeglang with full intent on taking the city, He escalates the artillery campaign before the main offensive leveling outer parts of the city to give his vehicles more room to operate. Federation forces taking havy casualties in both the Defense of West Papua and the Seige of Pandeglang laud both General Marcos, and Colonel Alejandro for their command, and as much as the West Papua was a loss it was not a rout and the Federation was able to hold the line against the US forces for the time being. The Pendeglang and Kalimintan offensives remain relatively effective, the Offensive in Pendeglang however remains in place as nearly 2/3rds of the city remains in US hands.
 * Republic of the Philippines: The family of the rape victim demands an apology from the American government for the rape incident last year. President Elizabeth Bayabos demands the expulsion of all American troops, but at the request of the American government, would still allow non-military Americans to stay. Due to recent tensions with the British, the government increases its military expenditure to 7% of its gross domestic product, they also purchase modern military technology from the Federation and other allies. Since a larger percentage of our GDP is spent on military, growth slows down. She still continues the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. There is heavy emphasis on heavy industry, such as the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She continues to monopolises several "key" industries. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure. She would like to increase trade with Japan and the Federation. We join the Indonesian conflict, deploying 100,000 troops. She denounces the imperialist, tiny, weak, crumbling British for calling our efficient government as "corrupt". Seeing that the British will probably continue their aggression, we invade Sarawak, the stronghold of British influence in Southeast Asia with 100,000 troops and ask the Federation and our nationalist allies to help. Meanwhile, the government says to America that we will improve our now hostile relationship if they agree to back off from the Indonesian conflict or let the new nationalist government gain control over most of Indonesia (we support its partition), increase trade with us, remove all troops, and not help the British in our war with them. 
 * Federation Dip: The Federation will support the Filipino troops when we are able get troops over there, but our current offensives and deployments have us spread thin as it is.
 * Germany: Reconstruction is finished in the East and the economy is improved in the West. We begin a massive construction project to improve and expand the the autobahn into western Germany. We open up new universities across the nation and send some scientists to assist the EU space program.'We call for reductions in nuclear arsenals across the world.'
 * Federation Dip: No.
 * Yugoslavia is furious with the EU, especially with Romania after they betrayed us. We build our military. We increase our military presence on the Romanian-Yugoslvian border. We would like the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact members to invade Romania and I'll soon to come. We also claim that we can have influence in Western European politics and the end of the evil EU. We countinue to work on the EESA with Poland. We would like Greece and Hungary to work on the EESA with me and Poland.
 * Romanian Dip: We tell you that we are not afraid, because the Warsaw Pact is failed, long dead, a dream in Communist minds. We laugh at your pathetic claims. We remind you that the greatest powers protect us, and the USSR is weak. Also, Hungary is neutral but aligned with the US.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries.  Nationalist units successfully penetrated into occupied Java, and with massive Federation reinforcements arriving, the city of Pandeglang was effectively placed under a seige. A simultaneous blockade was placed upon the Sunda Straits to halt the arrival of US or Sumatran aid to the beseiged city. A total of 130,000 Indonesia troops, along with the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps, and Navy were dedicated to the incursion into Pandeglang. Meanwhile, the Indonesian assault upon the city of Tarakan, involving 185,000 troops and the majority of the Indonesian Air Force resulted in minor gains into Kalimantan territory, and an overall victory. Similarly at Papua, 180,000 Indonesian troops and 110,000 Federation troops effectively kept the US at bay. To further prevent any major incursion into Papuan soil, Indonesian troops distributed armaments and anti-aircraft equipment amongst the local nationalist militias, hoping that the guerrilla tactics utilized by these forces would result in significant US losses, and would further alienate the local tribes against the Americans in case of retaliatory US air strikes.

 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles, and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life.

Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba.  As a new president, Adlai Stevenson decides to be much more proactive in the Indonesian conflict. He sends 150,000 troops into West Papua, including medium and heavy artillary, and 150 tanks. The new airbase in Papua sees 15 new fighter planes and 5 new bombers reach the island. 75,000 troops are also sent into Kalimenten, joinging with the troops already stationed there to march onto the Nationalist beachead directly. The US representatives in Sumatra help reorganize their military after the latter defeat, and launch a counter-invasion of West Kalimenten. The fleet near Kalimenten, backed by the anti-naval defenses built up in the last few years,  ensures that the forces on the island are isolated from the rest of the nationalists. The navy near Sumatra continues to relieve pressure from the seige of Pandeglang, where General Bonesteel personally organizes the multi-layered defense of the city. Micro-managing every expense of resources and distrobution of troops, Bonesteel keeps artillary mounted on the rooftops, with hunrdeds of footsoldiers and sparring amount of tanks patrolling each district. The financial district has alread gone to ruins from the street-by-street fighting, leaving little gain on either side. The new drafts, however, has caused an increase of violent and passive rebellions from the youth of America. 


 * ​US Dip (to Britain): We demand that you pull out of this ridiculous campaign in Sarawak and actually devote resources against the nationalists in Indonesia
 * US Dip (to Philippines): The state department is willing to negotiate a peaceful end to the conflict, but does not approve of the Philippine's current proposal.
 * British Diplomacy: We will begin moving more units to Indonesia once the Philippines agrees to the terms in our section.
 * Western African Federation: We continue to recruit about 200 troops and to put it likely, economy grows even more to target its high stake. Industries will be built even more as they continue to make more progress. Unfortunately, the rebels are not in Africa. The population continues to grow. So far Lagos stands 4.5 illion. We continue to develop weapons, the tanks and vehicles still not ordered yet and not researched. While we try to increase our nation for good.
 * Federation Dip: We offer to support the advancement and development of the West African Federations military forces. We also offer to support and invest in the WAF's economy as well as provide peacekeepers to prevent the nations from falling apart into ethnic civil war if needed.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin.

The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science. Construction of The first French bullet train begins. Development of the F60 begins (famas). The incident outside of Notre dame University comes as a complete shock to the French nation as it not only was the loss of life of two youths but it was the first time that a major protest had occurred against the Fourth Republic. Fearing a return to political instability de Gaulle agrees to keep a tight reign on the empire after facing increasing pressure from the right wing which now dominates the French political machine. However, de Gaulle makes a promise to keep the armed forces under control. French troops are told to make ready and march across the Dutch border should the nazi party not step down.
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin.

The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria. The White population continues to grow in Algeria despite some protests from the mainland over the treatment of locals and the continued bloodshed, the population currently standing at 2.5 million.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.) The government begins increasing the power colonial subjects educated in France granting them more placess in the administration. More arms are sent to the NKA to combat Communists and training of NKA officials and troops in insurgency and counter insurgency tactics are offered due to France's recent development of suppression tactics.
 * French Indochina: With the suppression of most of the cambodian and laotian rebels the colonial authorities offer the more moderate members of the independence movement a chance to come to the table to discuss the establishment of the state of Cambodia and Laos as autonomous members of the Union Francaise, and The French wiill withdraw the majority of their forces from the region with the exception of a small force.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * Romanian Dip: You are allowed to establish in Timisoara, the nearest major city to the Yugoslav border. This also helps because there are many Serbs, Croats and Aromanians in the region.
 * Israel: Research regarding nuclear weapons continues, with scientists searching for the quickest way to successfully build a nuke, and having found the way beginning to produce one. A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 3.4 million. The third season of the Israeli Football League (IFL) concludes, with Maccabi Tel Aviv winning. Sporting Ramallah is admitted into the League, alongside Sporting Tel Aviv. Talks with the French continue. The State of Israel enjoys NATO membership. The State of Israel SECRETLY requests that France shares a nuclear weapon with it. The State requests EU membership, pointing out not only its close ties, but also the fact that it is much closer to the EU members than any of the Communist Eastern European nations.
 * British Diplomacy: We have voted and you are now an official member of the European Union.
 * Portuguese West Africa: Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola. In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields. Police forces suppress and control riots in major cities, with only minor damage sustained.
 * The United Kingdom: We warn the Netherlands that time is running out for them to reform and continue anti-Netherlander propaganda. The state of Sabah is declared a State Under the European Union for the time being but it may be added to British Borneo in the future. We agree to end aggression towards the Philippines once they promise to stop attacking Sarawak and recognise Sabah as free. In return we will officially recognise the new Filipino government. We do not wish for this conflict between our nations to continue any longer. We promise to send more units to the Americans in Indonesia if the Filipino government does this. We offer Kurdistan the opportunity to join the EU.  We slowly begin to stop the buying of oil from Saudi Arabia and dramatically begin investing in Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Canada, and other Commonwealth Nations that have oil. We receive a combined 20,000 troops and 35 destroyers from Commonwealth Nations and use them to protect the coast of Sabah from a possible Filipino or Federation attack.
 * Kurdistan would be willing to join the EU in an observer capacity, as it is not within the continent.
 * Sabah and Sarawak are different. Also, when you declared Sabah a state under the EU, that would still mean that you would have de jure control over it. Never mind, Feud probably made the error of making Sabah Sarawak.
 * Philippine Dip: We will stop our invasion of Sarawak, if we hold a referendum in Sarawak so that the native people would decide whether it will join the Philippine Republic, remain a British colony, become independent or join Malaya. We would also request the British give back Sabah in exchange for no hostility between us.
 * British Diplomacy: We will not hold a referendum since most people in British Borneo still wish to be a part of the United Kingdom. We will, however, allow those with Filipino background to decide whether or not they wish to stay in Borneo or go the Philippines. And we will not give Sabah back since we just fought to secure it. If we just turned around and gave it back to you then that is like saying the lives that were lost in taking it were worthless (and it's a state under the EU now so the entire EU would have to vote on whether or not to give it to you). Nor will we cede Sarawak to you. If we were to cede it to anyone in Southeast Asia it would mostly likely be the Republic of Malaya. Also, your request to the USA for all of the Spanish East Indies is irrelevant since the USA never aided in the taking of Sabah and do not owe you anything. We wish for you to agree to our original terms since they are favourable for both of us. If we gave you all our land for a conflict that we were victorious in then who is really the winner?
 * Federation Dip: The Federation reminds the British that their imperial days are over. Any attempt of expansion here will be met with extreme hostility. As a result, we support the Philippines invasion of British controlled northern Borneo
 * No, Sabah and Kurdistan cannot be in the EU. The only non-European being allowed in the EU is Israel -Nate
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Aromanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We restore the monarchy, with Michael the First being given back the crown. We ask Italy for military protection.
 * French Dip: Due to the recent threats from the Yugoslav government and the isolation of Romania in Eastern Europe The French send another 80,000 troops to bolster the 20,000 currently stationed in Romania.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see prolific population growth but also sees an anti-war ideology develop in the country. This shows increasing anti-war protests but polls indicate a silent majority of the people are still in support of the conflict, seeing it as a symbol of how far the country has come. From a disunified group of nation states, to a unified front able to acheive superpower Status. The Federation continues to see economic slowdown due to a large GDP percentage spent on military force. However the Federation President keeps back hiking taxes to pay for this and instead draws down salaries of many of its politicians having the advantage to do this through many of the Federations anti-corruption legislation, and Anti buisiness lobbying laws as well. The Federation military sees more of its equipment modernized. The Tar-15 makes its official entry onto the military scene having proven much more effective than the EM-2 in combat testing in Indonesia. The weapon is known to never having suffered a single jam in the current Battle of West Papua and the reports surrounding its use show incredible accuracy, and utility able to mount many attachments. The Federation deploys a new sniper rifle as well the M-20 bolt action sniper. The Federation continues development of its infrastructure as well with a noticeable increase in its metro system being known. The government investment into the metro and highway systems connect many of the Southern cities making settlement of many of its interior territories much easier. The Capital Area of San Salvacion sees some of the most prolific growth as well. Seeing notable victories in Pandeglang and with supply channels open the Federation General Marcos Almagro successfully gains access to one mechanized divisions, two armored divisions and two infantry divisions and two oversized Strike Marine divisions totalling in nearly 150,000 troops being brought from the homeland. This troop increase comes as a shock to the Federation public but many pro war activists show notable approval to the plan, with Federation forces now in a total surrounding stature around Pandeglang, sighted artillery zones are fired up reducing more and more of the city to rubble, this heavy bombardment is followed the order to attack by General Almagro looking to force the US soldiers into submission at this point and quickly divert the artillery corps to shelling Sumatra proper. This final assault into Pendeglang is followed by by the Federation reinforcing Gonzales with another 20,000 troops as well as a large amount of defensive equipment particularly things to boobytrap the jungle and build a large amount of fortifications. Colonel Gonzales confident in his ability to hold the line once again builds a moderate defensive line but opts to bring up his previously unused vehicles burning the jungle directly in front of his trenchlines to allow for his armor and mechanized units to fight mobily and prevent US forces from gaining ground in this battle. The total force of 130,000 troops, nearly 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and its large air compliment prepare to fight one of the largest battles of the unofficial war. With success in Kaliminten almost assured, the rest of the northern part of the island under Sumatra control is taken, with the Federations 70,000 strong force reinforcing the Nationalists to the south using its medium strength armored forces to provide a mobile defense against the US forces as well. The Federation offers the Indonesian government the sale of its retired carriers El Dorado and Santa Salvaćion, as well as the offer to sell them state-of-the-art destroyers, frigates and cruisers for their navy with a potential delivery date of a task force in the next six months out of pre-existing ships. The Ballistic Missile Submarines Rojo October and Grendel make their appearance off the coast of Kalimintan sending out a large barrage of Cruise missiles to destroy anti-ship batteries, and anti-air batteries allowing for a brief window in which the Federation was able to resupply its Kaliminten forces without using the longer northern route. The Federation urges the Philippines to use Federation transport capabilities and ship its forces from Sulawesi to Kalimintan to retake territory and surround the surviving Sumatran forces. The Federation in response to the Filipino troops making landfall on Northern Bornero supports their operation with air and armor support air lifting upwards of 150 armored vehicles, and another 100 aircraft detailed to support the Filipino invasion. With the Federation gaining command of the Filipino Expeditionary force, they are re-armed with Federation equipment and insignias and deployed in Kalimintan opting to continues digging in and use the Filipino troops to fill in holes in the Defensive lines.
 * ​Indonesian Nationalist Diplomacy: We accept.
 * Kurdistan sends observers to the ongoing Indonesian conflict, who bring back reports which influence the Kurdish tactical doctrine significantly. Kurdish generals focus on improving anti-tank capabilities and expanding and upgrading the air force. New anti-tank missiles are widely produced and distributed. Mobile infantry forces are also modernized. The economy, especially manufacturing, grows with large subsidies.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program but are wiling to stop it if necessary with the goal of making one in the late 80s. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 40,000 troops. We join the UMS. We secretly send a letter to Jordan asking if they would like to work together on nuclear weapons.
 * Jordan: We receive the letter on Syria on working together on nukes, and we accept. We also work on our military technology.
 * Yemen: We continue to build the economy and improve infrastructure. We keep working on an education system and try to reform the justice system to remove Shari law from our system. We make it compulsory for all officers of the army to learn some basic Spanish. We send a full sized brigade (5000 troops) to Indonesia to support the Nationalists. We request that they fight under federation command and that they can also help be supplied by the Federation.
 * Republic of the Philippines: The family of the rape victim demands an apology and money from the American government for the rape and murder incident a year ago. President Elizabeth Bayabos still continues the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. Our modernisation strategy is to export vast quantities of low-cost manufactured goods to other countries while maintaining relative self-sufficiency by developing a strong agricultural base and using our own reserves of raw materials and energy. There is heavy emphasis on heavy industry, such as the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She continues to monopolises several "key" industries. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure, specially in the growing urban areas. She would like to increase trade with Japan and the Federation, she also offers trade with the Nationalist Indonesian government once the war is over. We continue to participate in the Indonesian conflict, deploying 100,000 troops, though we would want them to fight under the Federation's command. The government denounces the British government. We continue our invasion of Sarawak (and Sabah) with 140,000 troops, using our proximity and population density to our advantage, we encourage our nationalist allies to help us. We heavily militarise our maritime borders with the British in Sabah. Meanwhile, the government says to America that we will improve our now hostile relationship if they force Britain to cede Sarawak to us and they cede some of their Pacific territories that had been once part of the Spanish East Indies (looking at Guam). We use Federation transport capabilities and ship our forces from Sulawesi to Kalimantan to attempt to retake territory and surround the surviving pro-American forces. We centralise our control of the populace by promoting a nationalist ideology.
 * Italy: The government, tired of constant Yugoslav threats against its EU-sympathetic neighbors, issues an ultimatum to Yugoslavia: Stop the mindless threats of invasion or be prepared to back up their talk. Officials, though wary of threatening war against the country for fear of larger Warsaw Pact intervention, believe that at the very least this will force them to consider the ramifications of their decisions. Knowing that the EU and NATO may or may not be very willing to enforce this decision, Italy makes no claim that these groups necessarily need to help Italy if Yugoslavia refuses to back down, except in the event of a larger response from the Warsaw Pact.This, it is hoped, will dissuade the Warsaw Pact, at least temporarily. Having completed the newest model of the new assault rifle, codenamed the CT (short for colpo tempesta, or "storm shot" (if anyone has a better translation, feel free to replace it)), it enters mass production. Submarine production begins to slow to a stop in order to make up for the difference. Missile submarines now number 50, though numbers begin to level off. The additional production not used for assault rifle production goes into the production of the carrier ordered many years ago.
 * Ballistic missile submarines are EXPENSIVE AS ALL HELL. Please dumb down the number. in 1967 the US maintained 41 of these and was a superpower with the economic might to support it. Italy does not share that same ability. I suggest somewhere around 10-18 max -Feud
 * OK, a mistake on my part. How about 12.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. The success of the Nationalist offense into Pendeglang further increased the morale of the army, who now increasively viewed the conflict was 'winnable'. Despite having been stalled west of Pandeglang city, the Nationalist units operating in Pendeglang under the command of General Moeldoko carefully observed the situation and relaunched an offensive, dubbed the "Moeldokos March to the Sea" in hopes of penetrating through Democratic territory and reaching the Sunda Straits. A total of 130,000 Indonesia troops, along with the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps, and Navy were dedicated to the incursion into Pandeglang. Meanwhile, the Nationalist assault upon the city of Pontianak, involving 185,000 troops and the majority of the Indonesian Air Force resulted in victory, with the city established as a base of operations for further incursions into Kalimantan. With the arrival of a further 70,000 Federation reinforcements at West Kalimantan, the defense of the city against the US was assured. The Indonesian Air Force was directed to aid the units in West Kalimantan, and begin bombing Democrat positions in the region. Similarly at Papua, 180,000 Indonesian troops and 130,000 Federation troops effectively kept the US at bay. To further prevent any major incursion into Papuan soil, Indonesian troops distributed armaments and anti-aircraft equipment amongst the local nationalist militias, hoping that the guerrilla tactics utilized by these forces would result in significant US losses, and would further alienate the local tribes against the Americans in case of retaliatory US air strikes. 

1964.5
''' US and Federation forces stalemate as another assualt on Pandeglang ruins much of the rest of the city with many soldiers taking up positions in the rubble of buildings. General Marcos Almagro continues his seige of Attrition on Pandeglang hoping to make the US units combat ineffective. This seems to be proving true with the Federation and US both sustaining more than 40,000 casualties in the last battle, and the US being unable to effectively reinforce Pandeglang '''

''' The US continues to keep the upper hand in West Papua managing to keep the Federation from conducting any counter offensives. The Involvement of the previously in reserve nationalist forces worries the US commander though who requests some 20,000 reinforcements to counter and organize a defense against counter attacks. '''

''' The French see a Wave of bombings in Algeria on Pied Noir settlements causing legislation in Algeria to conduct the building of the "Settlement Walls" a system of walls that isolate the Peid Noir settlements from the hostile Algerian populations. This wall is expected to encompass a good portion of the Algerian coast while also expanding in due time to include more and more of the Settled territory '''

''' Egypt gaining membership into the SDP is unable to keep the preassure on the French government as the Leading powers preassure Nasser to end his support of Libyan and Tunisian separatists. '''

The British expeditionary Force in Sarawak is put under heavy seige as over 100,000 Filipino troops invade to retake the territory surrounding them and forcing the British forces to dig in.

Some French government officials begin advocating breaking off of major territories not intended to remain within the French Union saying that maintaining bases in hostile territory will cause major issues in logistics and prevent the French from economically progression by lugging the dead weight around.

'''Rhodesian, and Tanzanian whites request British assistance to prevent the ever brewing Race war in these countries. The Rhodesian union in particular maintains a large white population of nearly half a million with buisiness opportunity having made Rhodesia profitable and attractive to White settlement.'''

South Africa with nearly a population of nearly 3.4 million whites and growing rapidly as immigration and favorable job opportunity attracts them, request support from multiple SDP members hoping to enforce the White dominant state and prevent the brewing race war from breaking out.
 * Western African Federation: We still continue for economy to expand - as well as more troops been recruited in the army. The weapons will be developed and they could be given to troops. As Federation support us for economy and military army forces of WAF, we hope there isn't ethnic civil war belong to WAF but in the meantime, the peacekeepers are defending the cities.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.


 * ​[M] Who ever keeps deleting my entries can you please stop.
 * Romania: We continueexpanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Aromanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia.. We ask Italy for military protection. We begin modernizing our airplane manufacturing base, with hope of NATO and maybe SPD investment. We mobilze our army, putting them on all of our borders.
 * Italy: We may not be the ones to ask for military support, but we'll see what we can do.
 * Spain: We will invest in your nation in return for cheaper goods like oil.


 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see prolific population growth but also sees an anti-war ideology develop in the country. This shows increasing anti-war protests but polls indicate a silent majority of the people are still in support of the conflict, seeing it as a symbol of how far the country has come. From a disunified group of nation states, to a unified front able to acheive superpower Status. The Federation continues to see economic slowdown due to a large GDP percentage spent on military force. However the Federation President keeps back hiking taxes to pay for this and instead draws down salaries of many of its politicians having the advantage to do this through many of the Federations anti-corruption legislation, and Anti buisiness lobbying laws as well. The Federation military sees more of its equipment modernized. The Tar-15 makes its official entry onto the military scene having proven much more effective than the EM-2 in combat testing in Indonesia. The weapon is known to never having suffered a single jam in the current Battle of West Papua and the reports surrounding its use show incredible accuracy, and utility able to mount many attachments. The Federation deploys a new sniper rifle as well the M-20 bolt action sniper. The Federation continues development of its infrastructure as well with a noticeable increase in its metro system being known. The government investment into the metro and highway systems connect many of the Southern cities making settlement of many of its interior territories much easier. The Capital Area of San Salvacion sees some of the most prolific growth as well. The Federation seeing a static battle line in West Papua continues to dig in throwing down heavy defenses such as bunkers, anti tank emplacements, minefields, and other defensive fortifications. Colonel Gonzales retreats much of his force to the fortifications forgoing the previous mobile defenses for the Status but well build Indepencia defensive line. General Almagro while seeing more public unrest for the war sees some success in his strategy of Attrition and aside from the nearly 20,000 dead and 20,000 wounded from the battle in Pandeglang, is given reinforcements to keep his army in fighting shape to take Pandeglang and finally evict the US forces from Java. The Grueling battle takes nearly a month with heavy casualties on both sides, however by the end the Federation finally forces Bonesteel and his final 20,000 strong force at the US headquarters to surrender. By this point as well the Federation continues to Dig in at Kalimintan but is forced to withdraw almost half its armored force to Java to press the attack on the Americans. The Federation relies heavily on its infatry and air/fleet support to hold the line hoping that the Filipino troops are able to hold the line as well as Federation troops. The Federation begins to see much of its own anti war songs coming into popularity as the Youth protests the war heavily. The Federation in response to the Landing of more US forces on Sulawesi Draws back Troops deployments un Cuba from nearly 350,000 to 150,000 with the remaining forces building the Cuba defense perimeter up heavily with heavy emplacements, bunkers, and other defensive fortifications. The Federation takes these Extra 200,000 troops from Cuba, all professional soldiers unaffected by the Draft issues and many of the officers being veterans of the Cuban insurrection, and Redeploys them onto Kalimintan shifting the 70,000 man draftee force to Sulawesi rushing north to meet the US at their beach head building light fortifications quickly to prevent the US from taking more than Gondana. The Federation makes notable use of its new M-14 and M-20 attack helicopters in the defense of Sulawesi with the end of the Pandeglang Seige the Federation redeploys nearly 100,000 troops from the 300,000 strong force in Java to the middle of Sulawesi building defensive fortifications as well looking to meet the US forces halfway down the island and use the 70,000 strong force to delay the US military for as long as possible. The Federation officially brings in strategic bombers with support of the Federation air force begins the heavy strategic bombing of Sumatra proper hitting many southern cities. The Federation also joins in the final battle for Pandeglang against the Sumatran forces looking to fully secure java by the end of the year. The Federation announces its mission to send a man to the moon in 1969 having conducted many tests to support such an operation. The Federation replying to the South African plea sends 10,000 Peacekeepers a small armored core of about 100 tanks, 50 infantry fighting vehicles/APC's and deposits about 30 jet aircraft for the operation as well as 50 helicopters of transport and attack variety.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy. Congress approves the Freedom of Rights Act that ensures civil liberties to all Americans.  This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The troops in Papua, led by General Benjamin Pierce, concentrate their new heavy artillarly and tanks against the front of the Federation compound, coupled with paratrooper landings across the fortifications. A small fleet of two battleships, two destroyers and ten smaller vessals attack the Filippino military near Sarawak, aiding the British. 70,000 new soldiers are deposited in Northern Kalimenten and march north, cutting off the Federation and Fillippino soldiers from the attack on the beachead continuing in the south. This same fleet deposits an additional 130,000 soldiers on Gondana, securing a beachhead in northern Sulawasi.


 * British Diplomacy: We ask the USA to pressure the Philippines into agreeing with our terms since the ones they proposed are pretty ridiculous.
 * The United Kingdom: We ask for all European Union members to send support to British Borneo and to the USA in Indonesia. We also invite them to the 1960's EU Emergency Meeting and another 10,000 from Sudanese-Uganda that surround the coast of Sarawak and engage the Filipino government. We would like to clarify some things. A) The state of Sabah is under the EU, not the British Empire because, as I've stated before, pretty much everyone in the British government is anti-imperialist. B) Being a state under the Union does not mean that they are a member of the European Union, it means they are controlled, rebuilt, reformed, et cetera by the EU and will remain that way until they are once again stable. And C) We think our terms were fair and we ask the Federation and the Philippines to consider them as we do not wish to drag out this conflict any longer or lose any more men on both sides. We won the battle so the terms that the Filipino government proposed are ridiculous. The British soldiers launch Operation Serpentine and begin incursions of guerrilla warfare along the coast. There are approximately 70,000 troops (British and Commonwealth) soldiers fighting against the invasion now. 20,000 more troops (veterans) come from the UK to Sabah and fight on the coast. We wait for Canadian navy to aid us. (more later)
 * You won a battle with 10,000 troops who are now surrounded and under extreme seige by over 15 times their number. No way the Philippines agrees to this, the Philippines have the local advantage and numbers advantage 10 fold on top of an ally providing them all sorts of air and armor support. You won a single battle and joined a war you were warned to stay out of. You're going to suffer the consequences of this.
 * Okay. Since exactly did it say the commonwealth got involved ... I don't remember an event or anything on Nathan's side ... -Feud
 * They got involved last turn. By the way, when did Burma become independent because it did not sign the Queen's Mandate nor has it been recognised by the UK. And South Africa's inclusion in the SDP is pretty ridiculous. They never stated that they wished to join the organisation nor is it plausible since they are a part of the British Commonwealth which is against the SDP. Also if the Philippines is able to continue training soldiers then so will I and I will continue to send them into the battle since my population is twice theirs and my GDP is nearly 100 billion.
 * South Africa is was hardly ever part of the commonwealth as it was Post WW-2 their Apartheid policy didnt sync up with the decolonization movement. South Africas previous player applied and was accepted. Also enough ATL has happened that makes it plausible, on top of this the South African entrance into the SDP is essentially a De Facto abandonment of the commonwealth by South Africa. As for your GDP, your talking about competing with a rising regional power thats being supplied and aided economically and military by a Superpower that for years singlehanded fought the US at a disadvantage in Indonesia until recently. Also Burma can go independent if it damn well pleases. You can always try to reconquer it but thats a tad unfeasible. The queens mandate is just the UK's legal way of releasing colonies in a semi friendly manner. Throwing off your reigns militarily is still feasible if not outright likely. And if you want to go for GDP comparisons. the US is 740 Billion and the Federation is somewhere around 720 billion. Both of which are seven times your GDP. If you want to talk about populations arrayed against you. the Indonesian Federation and the Philippines together maintain a population of 70 million which is higher than yours, on top of the Federations population of nearly 172 million. You are not a Superpower, you are a moderately strong Great Power that has a few key allies. The EU on top of this cant feasibly send aid except for france which has already told you to bugger off. -Feud
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We will continue to support Iberian nationalists in Portugal. We use the significant Spanish and Catalan population to create a party known as the Iberian party which we will support with monetary support. We will use this party to pressure the government to join Spain(MOD). We will also send a force of 20,000 troops to help South Africa.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 90,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 25,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 100,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * ​Italy: Missile submarine production officially stops, with a grand total of 12 in the navy. So far, CT production has created 100,000 of the new weapon (i'm no expert, but if Italian industry can create hundreds of multi-ton tanks in a year, several thousand at least seems like a remotely reasonable number for guns that can be carried in someone's hands), and production continues until the whole army can be equipped with this new device. A select group of soldiers (75,000, in case some break) are put into training to use it effectively. We offer to trade with Canada and Australia. We await the Yugoslav response to our ultimatum. We continue sponsoring the railroad. We begin debating whether or not to aid the UK in its many wars.
 * British Diplomacy: Please consider joining us and ending the one conflict we are faced with at the moment. Once it is over we plan on taking a stepping towards neutrality and focusing on the EU and ourselves.
 * Germany: Across the nation we improve industry and infrastructure. The army is brought up to full strength at 250,000 soldiers with limited tank and air support. Our scientists begin to look into nuclear energy and rocket technology. We send scientists to work on the EU space program. Troops and armor are deployed along the border with the Netherlands ready to support an EU intervention. We begin to look for ways to reform the EU
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program with the goal of making one in the mid or late 70s with Jordan help. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 70,000 troops. We join the UMS. We begin to send troops to the golan hight claming it Syrian land.
 * Jordan: We thank Syria for joining the UMS, and we still open the doors to the other countries. We begin to work on our cities. The Jordanian Parliament has decided to join the cities of Aljoun, Aldail, Alhusn, Alkutaifah, Al-Mattabah, Al-Muqawwar, Al-Quwaysimah, Arki, and the port city of Aqaba into one city called Raqadan, in order to maintain better control. We also work on our economy.
 * Portugal: We chastise Portuguese West Africa for their revolts. We continue to increase European migration into the region, still ensuring we have complete control over the newly discovered oil fields. Meanwhile, we reject Spain's hope for a united Iberia, because it would not be in Portugal's best interest and would cause strife. We also scold Spain for supporting Iberian nationalists in our nation, hoping that they will stay out of our affairs.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask for Portugal to send support to British Borneo.'
 * Portugal Dip: We want to know if other EU nations are willing to join the conflict.
 * Yemen: We continue to build the economy and improve infrastructure. We keep working on an education system and try to reform the justice system to remove Shari law from our system. We make it compulsory for all officers of the army to learn some basic Spanish. We send a full sized brigade (5000 troops) to Indonesia to support the Nationalists. We request that they fight under federation command and that they can also help be supplied by the Federation. 
 * Republic of the Philippines: President Elizabeth Bayabos still continues the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. Our modernisation strategy is to export vast quantities of low-cost manufactured goods to other countries while maintaining relative self-sufficiency by developing a strong agricultural base and using our own reserves of raw materials and energy. There is heavy emphasis on heavy industry, such as the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She continues to monopolises several "key" industries. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure, specially in the growing urban areas. She would like to increase trade with Japan and the Federation, she also offers trade with the Nationalist Indonesian government once the war is over. We continue to participate in the Indonesian conflict, with 120,000 troops, though we would want them to fight under the Federation's command. The government denounces the British government for their ridiculous claims and we do not agree to their terms. We continue our invasion of Sarawak (and Sabah) with 150,000, 50,000 more then before troops, using our proximity, high morale, and greater population density (Sarawak is relatively "underpopulated") to our advantage, we encourage our nationalist allies to help us. We heavily militarise our maritime borders with the British and develop our navy. Meanwhile, the government says to America that we will never have peace unless the British cedes Sarawak to us. We use Federation transport capabilities and ship our forces from Sulawesi to Kalimantan to attempt to retake territory and surround the surviving pro-American forces. We centralise our control of the populace by promoting a nationalist ideology. We begin expulsion of all Americans and their family to avoid accidents, but we only let them take a certain amount of wealth back.
 * British Diplomacy: Your population is about 30 million and your economy is not strong enough to continue sending in units. You already have 120,000 serving in Indonesia and 150,000 in Sarawak (a lot of which are Federation troops). I don't think it is probable that you would have 50,000 more troops your could send in consider how small you are. (Mod please respond)
 * Federation Dip: The Federation maintains equips supplies and upwards of 120,000 of these troops as well as leads them. His economy can easily maintain his current number if not more. The Federation also recognizes the fact that 30 million was only ten million short of the French's WW1 population in which they were able to field millions. The Philippines with Federation support can and will be able to support a very large military for the time being.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. General Moeldoko successfully destroyed the Democratic units operating in Pendeglang, and liberated the province in the 21st March Offensive, which had been dubbed "Moeldokos March to the Sea".  A total of 130,000 Indonesia troops, along with the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps, had been dedicated to this incursion, and these units were put on high alert in case of an immediate attack from Sumatra to retake Pendeglang. Meanwhile, the Nationalist assault upon the city of Pontianak, involving 185,000 troops and the majority of the Indonesian Air Force resulted in victory, with the city established as a base of operations for further incursions into Kalimantan. With the majority of US units in Kalimantan directed to Sarawak, the Nationalists launched an offense into Southern Kalimantan. The Indonesian Air Force which had utilized Sulawesi as a base for operations in Kalimantan, along with early warnings of US troop movement from the Philippines prevented the Sulawesi Landings from having the element of surprise, and allowed the Nationalists to timely deploy 80,000 soldiers to the Minahassa Peninsula. The Indonesian Navy was simultaneously directed to the Gulf of Tomini and the Molucca Sea, hoping to strangle the US Navy operating in the area. Similarly at Papua, 180,000 Indonesian troops and 130,000 Federation troops effectively kept the US at bay. To further prevent any major incursion into Papuan soil, Indonesian troops distributed armaments and anti-aircraft equipment amongst the local nationalist militias, hoping that the guerrilla tactics utilized by these forces would result in significant US losses, and would further alienate the local tribes against the Americans in case of retaliatory US air strikes. 
 * Yugoslavia: We would like Bugeria, Checoskvakia, Greece, Russia and Poland to collaboratively begin an invasion of Romania (Mod response for first 4). We continue to militarise our Romanian borders. We will not join the EU. We continue our research in nuclear weapons. We build our military and infrastructure. We crush any democratic rebels in Yugoslavia. We continue to work on science. We continue to work on the EESA. We build roads and motorways in our country. We would like Czechoslovakia, Greece and Bulgaria to join the EESA (mod response). We would like to buy Albania from the Federation.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. The French unveil the AMX-30 their new standard MBT to replace the aging one large scale production begins as the older tanks are phased out and sold to Indochina and China. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate.French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. Support for nationalist groups in Yugoslavia begins in earnest and radio programs condemning the Yugoslav government's continued aggressions against the west and against grass root democratic movements in the civilized world. The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science. Construction of The first French bullet train begins. Development of the F60 begins (famas). The incident outside of Notre dame University comes as a complete shock to the French nation as it not only was the loss of life of two youths but it was the first time that a major protest had occurred against the Fourth Republic. Fearing a return to political instability de Gaulle agrees to keep a tight reign on the empire after facing increasing pressure from the right wing which now dominates the French political machine. However, de Gaulle makes a promise to keep the armed forces under control. French troops are told to make ready and march across the Dutch border should the nazi party not step down.   The government begins looking at the rest of the dependent regions to determine which areas should be granted greater autonomy as public pressure begins to mount for an end to violence (I'm not going to let go completely of my colonies but as I discussed with Feud I will turn them into client states that are part of the Union Francaise, but won't control them directly any longer.) Plans are made to turn the French Foreign Legion into a volunteer army ready to serve the Union Francaise, the forces will be made up of volunteers from Union members who wish to serve and any who serve will be granted citizenship after five years of service. Naval expansion continues and production of missile carrier subs begin.
 * French North Africa (not including Algeria): Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity. All of North Africa is designated as land for settlement by the French authorities as they decide that North and Saharan Africa will be retained for economic and strategic purposes.
 * French Algeria: Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria. The White population continues to grow in Algeria despite some protests from the mainland over the treatment of locals and the continued bloodshed, the population currently standing at 2.5 million.
 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.) The government begins increasing the power colonial subjects educated in France granting them more placess in the administration. More arms are sent to the NKA to combat Communists and training of NKA officials and troops in insurgency and counterinsurgency tactics are offered due to France's recent development of suppression tactics.
 * French Indochina: With the suppression of most of the Cambodian and Laotian rebels the colonial authorities offer the more moderate members of the independence movement a chance to come to the table to discuss the establishment of the state of Cambodia and Laos as autonomous members of the Union Francaise, and The French will withdraw the majority of their forces from the region with the exception of a small force. Negotiations continue as the details are hammered out. French forces are withdrawn from parts of cambodia and laos as a sign of good faith.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * Israel:  A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 4.1 million. The State of Israel enjoys NATO and EU membership. The State finishes it's first nuclear weapon and begins production of more.

1965.0
''' Out of line with Commonwealth policy heavily South Africa finally withdraws from the British Commonwealth. This is met with some fanfare from the white population who finally are able to keep to their Apartheid policies with no criticism from the other commonwealth members. '''

''' The Federation and Indonesian forces claim victory in Java as 71,000 US troops are killed with nearly 19,000 dead. The Sumatran forces also see a failed defense of their final provincial strongholds and of the remaining 150,000 troops only about 60,000 organize a retreat across the straits to Sumatra reaching the other side battered and exhausted. '''

''' The Israeli government begins to see increasing population as the nation transitions into a more modern European based nation state. '''

''' The Australians and Canadians agree to send limited support to the UK as commonwealth members in Indonesia but The Canadians seeing potential for war in North America refuse to send their fleet citing it being a threat to their home security to send the fleet. Australia on the other hand devotes 30,000 troops in New Guinea beginning to Shell Indonesian Troops from across the Border. (This means adjust your troops British player, you don't get to call on the Commonwealth troops as if they are your own) '''

''' The Federation sees a somewhat die down in the anti-war protests as successes in the offensives show promise in the campaign. Protests in the number of casualties go up however. '''

 The US sees some more support for the war as the Capturing of US troops emboldens pro-war activists for revenge 

Sweden: We give power back to the monarch. We also want to join SDP and there is a baby boom. Because of that, Sweden supported couples to have kids so the population is 11 million.

British Diplomacy: We ask you to join the EU.
 * The United Kingdom: We begin the liberation of the Netherlands by sending 150,000 troops to storm the beaches in the west of the country. Our naval blockade covers most of the west further preventing the Netherlands to trade with foreign powers. We ask France, Germany and Italy to begin sending troops in and surrounding the country. Anti-Federation propaganda begins to be played alongside Anti-Netherlander propaganda leading many to compare the two nations policies. 50,000 troops are sent from the mainland to British Borneo (making the total number of troops fighiting there on the side of the British 120,000 since commonwealth troops cannot withdraw now. But no more commonwealth troops will be deployed but the UK is the head of the commonwealth so they are allowed to deploy troops to this area) along with another 50,000 that are sent to aid the USA in Indonesia. With these units are the battleships HMS Vanguard II and HMS Britannia. We ask Portugal to look at the 1960's EU Emergency Meeting and to send support to Indonesia and Borneo. (For ANY mod: Can a mod please tell me when British Burma became independent because until I get a year that I go back and look at to confirm Burma will be considered under British rule.) (more later)
 * It was 1955, if you were a bit more proactive you might check the Archive instead of making a mod do it Burma is INDEPENDENT, it is not your place to debate what i told you, you cannot just say that it is still under your control when it is not. If the head mod in particular tells you something you listen and maybe nicely address the topic and try to debate it with him on his talk page or chat. Not on the page with direct defiance. On top of this the British commonwealth at this point recognizes many of its members as EQUAL. This means no drawing troops for their nations without their consent. This is a warning on that topic. This is considered Controlling another nation. At this point in Time the British Commonwealth was reformed into the Commonwealth of nations which recognized all commonwealth states as free and equal with the British maintaining no suzerain control over them aside from the head of state which in reality maintains no power whatsoever over those nations. You got marginal support from them this turn but your request for naval assistance for denied, and Australia has other things to worry about, particularly upwards of 300,000 troops on top of its Papuan Border. They won't be sending help when Australia is blatantly vulnerable to the Federation and Indonesian forces. Canada as well won't just ship its entire fleet overseas when the Federation has proven a match for the United States and still maintains large forces in its home territories
 * Okay I understand what you're saying but what I was saying is the Commonwealth troops that are already in Sabah cannot withdraw because they're in the middle of a battle. I will not ask for anymore troops from the commonwealth but it is simply impossible for the ones already there to leave.
 * US diplomacy: Having received the debriefing from France of the publicized EU meeting, the State Department denounces any plans by Britain to attack the Federation, hoping to resolve the conflice in Indonesia peacefully.
 * British Diplomacy: We will not allow the USA to put all the blame on us. We discussed terms with the United States and they agreed with us. So did Italy. We were not the only ones that were planning to attack and as of recent we have canceled our plans in favour of a peaceful solution. We invite all nations (including the Federation) to The London Peace Conference (Can a mod please put this in the events section as it is very important) to talk about how we can end WWIV and make our relations with the FoA and the SDP peaceful again.


 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Elections for the Prime Minister begin, with results coming later this year.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask Japan to send support to their American allies in Indonesia.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Suehiro Nishio mentions to the UK that Japan is perpetually and absolutely neutral, and will forever be neutral. He also mentions that the Self Defence Forces are only, and only meant to defend Japan itself and are not meant to be deployed; nor are allowed to help any nations in foreign conflicts.


 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy. Such groups becoming popular include The Animals, The Temptations (playing "My Girl" this year), and The Supremes (playing "In the Name of Love").  Phil Ochs also puts out anti-war music.  Many businesses in the media capitalize on the sudden popularity of soldiers in Indonesia, galvanized by the heroism of Bonesteel's defense of Pandeglang, echoing the cry "remember Bentan beach". This runs counter to the anti-war youth culture, but for the first time is not seriously undermined by it. Many popular movements enthralled by the story demand Bonesteel's release from his Nationalist PoW camp. This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. General Pierce and his click of officers (nicknamed "the magnificent seven") continue their attack against the strongholds in Papua, backed by an additional 30,000 American troops. The Commonwealth reinforcements are directed to attack and secure southern Sulawasi, meeting up with the beachead in the north. Naval and aerial support is given to the beachead in northern Sulawasi, allong with an additional 70,000 troops, to prevent from enemy attack. In Kalimenten, forces continue to attack both in the southern and northern fronts. With the fall of Pandeglang, the defenses of Sumatra are heavily reinforced, with the fully recovered Sumatran military now totally dedicating their efforts to resecure Kalimenten. 


 * Federation Dip: With the USSR launching an outright invasion of Europe, the Federation requests the United States and Federation enter into a Ceasefire and not engage in any further combat in Indonesia. We look to Gradually withdraw from Indonesia and leave the islands to their own devices. We have already shed the blood of 10's of thousand in Indonesia on both sides, and i beleive escalating this conflict is detrimental to the health of both our nations.
 * The US agrees to a ceasefire according to the terms of the London Peace Conference


 * Western African Federation: We continue to recruit troops and improve economy for more incomes. We are further still working on weapons to give the troops. Also the buildings, bunkers and fortresses is planned to be built in the future but not many. Our troop total might be reached to about 500,000. Indeed we need more recruitment to gain more troops.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see prolific population growth but also sees an anti-war ideology develop in the country. This shows increasing anti-war protests but polls indicate a silent majority of the people are still in support of the conflict, seeing it as a symbol of how far the country has come. From a disunified group of nation states, to a unified front able to acheive superpower Status. The Federation continues to see economic slowdown due to a large GDP percentage spent on military force. However the Federation President keeps back hiking taxes to pay for this and instead draws down salaries of many of its politicians having the advantage to do this through many of the Federations anti-corruption legislation, and Anti buisiness lobbying laws as well. The Federation military sees more of its equipment modernized. The Tar-15 makes its official entry onto the military scene having proven much more effective than the EM-2 in combat testing in Indonesia. The weapon is known to never having suffered a single jam in the current Battle of West Papua and the reports surrounding its use show incredible accuracy, and utility able to mount many attachments. The Federation deploys a new sniper rifle as well the M-20 bolt action sniper. The Federation continues development of its infrastructure as well with a noticeable increase in its metro system being known. The government investment into the metro and highway systems connect many of the Southern cities making settlement of many of its interior territories much easier. The Capital Area of San Salvacion sees some of the most prolific growth as well. The Federation seeing a static battle line in West Papua continues to dig in throwing down heavy defenses such as bunkers, anti tank emplacements, minefields, and other defensive fortifications. Colonel Gonzales retreats much of his force to the fortifications forgoing the previous mobile defenses for the Status but well build Indepencia defensive line. General Almagro seeing more forces coming against him deploys the remainder of his expeditionary forces from Java to Kalimintan sending an extra 50,000 to West Papua. The Federation in response to the Landing of more US forces on Sulawesi Draws back Troops deployments un Cuba from nearly 350,000 to 150,000 with the remaining forces building the Cuba defense perimeter up heavily with heavy emplacements, bunkers, and other defensive fortifications. The Federation takes these Extra 200,000 troops from Cuba, all professional soldiers unaffected by the Draft issues and many of the officers being veterans of the Cuban insurrection, and Redeploys them onto Kalimintan shifting the 70,000 man draftee force to Sulawesi rushing north to meet the US at their beach head building light fortifications quickly to prevent the US from taking more than Gondana. The Federation makes notable use of its new M-14 and M-20 attack helicopters in the defense of Sulawesi with the end of the Pandeglang Seige the Federation redeploys nearly 100,000 troops from the 300,000 strong force in Java to the middle of Sulawesi building defensive fortifications as well looking to meet the US forces halfway down the island and use the 70,000 strong force to delay the US military for as long as possible. The Federation officially brings in strategic bombers with support of the Federation air force begins the heavy strategic bombing of Sumatra proper hitting many southern cities. The Federation also joins in the final battle for Pandeglang against the Sumatran forces looking to fully secure java by the end of the year. The Federation announces its mission to send a man to the moon in 1969 having conducted many tests to support such an operation. The Federation replying to the South African plea sends 10,000 Peacekeepers a small armored core of about 100 tanks, 50 infantry fighting vehicles/APC's and deposits about 30 jet aircraft for the operation as well as 50 helicopters of transport and attack variety. (more coming later) The Federation seeing the opening stages of a Soviet Invasion of Europe attempts to reach ceasefire agreements on all fronts with the US in indonesia.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. The French unveil the AMX-30 their new standard MBT to replace the aging one large scale production begins as the older tanks are phased out and sold to Indochina and China. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements.

Plans are made to turn the French Foreign Legion into a volunteer army ready to serve the Union Francaise, the forces will be made up of volunteers from Union members who wish to serve and any who serve will be granted citizenship after five years of service. Naval expansion continues and production of missile carrier subs begin. De Gaulle disgusted at how NATO has deviated from their original purpose and are pursuing a war with the Federation that could potentially end in disaster for democracy and a resurgence in Communist power declares to the public that the AMericans and British have been plotting a potential invasion of the Federation and the Brits have contemplated using nuclear weapons against innocent citizens. De Gaulle along with major figures of the Srench government and military in a public speech say that they will not support a war that could potentially end with the destruction of the civilized world and propose that all parties involved in the crisis come to the negotiation table which could be held in Paris to resolve this endless and rather pointless war.  Falling in line with EU mandates 200,000 troops move into the Lowlands to dismantle the nazi regime but all efforts to get the Dutch army to lay down arms are made as the French are ordered not to harm a people who have goe through enough turmoil by countless regime changes. The French promise to keep the EU forces in line and to make sure free and fair elections occur in the new netherlands.  More troops are sent to Romania and The French demand that the rest of the EU provide troops for what will be an inevitable war with the Warsaw Pact, 1.2 million troops are amassed for another campaign into Eastern Europe. 
 * North African Departments: Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity. All of North Africa is designated as land for settlement by the French authorities as they decide that North and Saharan Africa will be retained for economic and strategic purposes.  Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria. The White population continues to grow in Algeria despite some protests from the mainland over the treatment of locals and the continued bloodshed, the population currently standing at 2.5 million.


 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.) The government begins increasing the power colonial subjects educated in France granting them more placess in the administration. More arms are sent to the NKA to combat Communists and training of NKA officials and troops in insurgency and counterinsurgency tactics are offered due to France's recent development of suppression tactics.
 * French Indochina: With the suppression of most of the Cambodian and Laotian rebels the colonial authorities offer the more moderate members of the independence movement a chance to come to the table to discuss the establishment of the state of Cambodia and Laos as autonomous members of the Union Francaise, and The French will withdraw the majority of their forces from the region with the exception of a small force. Negotiations continue as the details are hammered out. French forces are withdrawn from parts of cambodia and laos as a sign of good faith.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * British Diplomacy: We resent France claims that we would do such a thing. The UK and USA are the foremost nations in diplomatic policies and will not go to war unless absolutely necessary. Furthermore we are against using nuclear weapons unless they are a last resort and even then we think that they should not be used. We also remind you that the liberation of the Netherlands has begun and we ask you to participate in it since you were willing to lead the event.
 * Romania: We continue expanding our economy and promote immigration, especially from Egypt, where the Copts are discriminated against. We send a diplomat to the USSR, in order to talk about the current situation. We secretly support Croatian, Bosnian and Aromanian democratic rebels in Yugoslavia.. We ask Italy for military protection. We begin modernizing our airplane manufacturing base, with hope of NATO and maybe SPD investment. We mobilize our army and send them to the borders of our nation.
 * The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics: After years of stagnation and getting behind the major superpowers, a small group of military commanders finally execute a military coup d'etat in Moscow, and within days, the city is overrun and most government officials either dead or in hiding. The Politburo is dismantled and replaced by a WWII-era like dictatorship, which begins a crackdown on both corruption and political dissidents at the same time. With this in mind, the General Secretary and Premier of the Soviet Union titles are merged into one, and Colonel-General Nikita Romanov, takes the power as the leader of the Soviet Union. Military and nuclear arms buildup begins, and economic expansion also begins. The new government decides to make a return to hardline Communism to restore stability to the USSR and remaining Warsaw Pact members. The nation also begins a military invasion of Romania to restore the rightful government of Romania back into power and as a desperate attempt to hold on to what little allies the USSR has left.
 * Romanian diplomacy: We would say we are schocked, but we are not. We send the main bulk of our force, 300,000, to war the USSR in the North and in the East, while 50,000 troops are invading Bulgaria. We ask the Federation to join this war, as the world biggest threat has arisen again from the dead. We also remind you that the Communists will destroy your base in Romania. The Romanian airforce bombs Soviet military installations.
 * ​French Response: With the Soviet invasion of Romania the 120,000 troops inside romania help the romanians resist the invasion. Meanwhile 1.2 million troops move to engage members of the Warsaw Pact. supported by the full strength of the French navy which moves to close off both the Baltic and the Black Seas from Soviets leaving. Once more De Gaulle moves to an undisclosed location as the posiblity of a nuclear exchange is raised. All EU members and nato countries are called on to help combat Soviet aggression.  The full French air force begins engaging Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces on the Polish border and in the Balkans. The three French aircraft carriers are distributed into two groups: one heads to the Black Sea and the other two move to the Baltic Sea along with the bulk of the French navy to engage to immobilize Warsaw troops.  more armor and artillery are moved to the Balkans as well and most of the French armor divisions moving into Central Europe through EU member germany.  The French leadership give the green light ot prepare tactical nukes in case Soviets become trigger happy and the nuclear arsenal is also put on high alert. 
 * Soviet Counter-Response: Several tactical nuclear strikes are launched on the advancing French military, and a strategic R-7 nuclear ICBM is launched to annihilate Paris, as a warning to the French government. We threaten to do the same to Washington should the States become involved, and Nueva Asunción should the West or the Federation intervene. We immediately begin an evacuation of the new government in Moscow in the scenario of nuclear retaliation. Our nuclear arsenal is aimed at major cities across Europe and North America, with Romanov ready to release nuclear hellfire on humanity in the scenario of another nuclear exchange, which unfortunately has just begun.
 * British Diplomacy: 100,000 troops are moved into Romania along with an assortment of air and land machinery. We move the royal family to an undisclosed location for the time being.
 * No Strategic nukes. Your exact move is the main reason behind this. It is a and endgame scenario not a first strike tactic. Tactical weapons are good though. No issues there.
 * ​ Italy: Having heard of the invasion of Romania, we declare war on the Warsaw Pact in defense of the country. We begin mobilization of parts of the armed forces (roughly 300,000) to attack through Yugoslavia with support of the full Italian air force and armor divisions, and begin returning reserve troops to service. The military obtains another 100,000 CTs, and 80,000 reserve troops enter training for effective use of them. The government continues investing in the railroad, with major progress being made. Italy requests France to allow Italian troops passage through the country, and begin mobilizing 100,000 troops to (hopefully) help liberate the Netherlands. Italy's second battleship reaches completion, and production of battleships stops to free up industries for the production of a carrier.
 * ​French Dip: Paris tells the italians to focus on the ussr as the Dutch will be dealt with in good time but we must focus on the Soviet threat at hand.  France requests that 200,000 troops be sentto join up with the French contingent invading Poland and the Czechs.
 * Italian Dip: Those 100,000 are about all we have to spare, sorry. But we will send them to help.
 * British Diplomacy: The liberation of the Netherlands is pretty much complete. About a combined force of 300,000 French and British troops invaded and has pretty much put down any rebellions. We are just waiting for a mod response.
 * Germany: With the outbreak of war the army is mobilized and war is declared on the Warsaw Pact. 100,000 troops are sent from the border of the Netherlands to the eastern front to join up the French units there. 50,000 German troops are sent to assist our Italian allies in their invasion of Yugoslavia. Much of our industry is converted to war production and a draft begins. Production of ships, planes, and tanks picks up so our army can better support our allies.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We begin to work on our nuclear program with the goal of making one in the mid or late 70s with Jordan help. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 90,000 troops. We join the UMS. We send some nuclear scientists to Sweden for "vacation" with their real plan to help Sweden become a nuclear power.
 * Jordan: We work on our economy and technology. We also send a nuclear scientist to work together with Syria on nuclear weapons.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We will continue to support Iberian nationalists in Portugal. We use the significant Spanish and Catalan population to create a party known as the Iberian party which we will support with monetary support. We will use this party to pressure the government to join Spain(MOD). We will use this party to make Androrra closer to Spain.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 100,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 35,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 110,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. "Moeldokos March to the Sea" was termed one of the greatest miltary operation launched by the Nationalist, and brought about the capture of 71,000 US soldiers and 90,000 Democrat soldiers. The soldiers involved in this offensive, numbering around 120,000, were immediately transported to Sulawesi to join with the additional 80,000 already present on the island, in order to push the Americans off the island. The Indonesian Navy was simultaneously directed to the Gulf of Tomini and the Molucca Sea, hoping to strangle the US Navy operating in the area. Meanwhile, the Nationalists launched an offensive into Southern Kaliman involving 285,000 troops and the majority of the Indonesian Air Force. Similarly at Papua, 250,000 Indonesian troops and 130,000 Federation troops effectively kept the US at bay. To further prevent any major incursion into Papuan soil, Indonesian troops distributed armaments and anti-aircraft equipment amongst the local nationalist militias, hoping that the guerrilla tactics utilized by these forces would result in significant US losses, and would further alienate the local tribes against the Americans in case of retaliatory US air strikes. 
 * Yugoslavia begins fighting on two fronts: Romanian and Italian. We build our army and Air Force. We begin bombarding Romanian cities from the air, hoping that they'll be affected from that. We intercept any aid that Romania gets from the EU. We bombard Romaina food suplies so the country can starve. We build our military. We put slightly more troops on the Italian Front so we can drive into North Italy. We don't join the EU.
 * 'British Diplomacy: You were never asked to join the European Union.
 * Israel:  A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 4.1 million. The State of Israel enjoys NATO and EU membership. The State finishes it's first nuclear weapon and begins production of more.

1965.5
 The London Peace conference ends in a ceasefire for the Federation and United States but with severe issues from Sumatra and the Nationalists the potential for conflict after a US and Federation Exit is a real issue ''.

''' Announcement: Upon further review the Soviet invasion is retconned. Ace cant play as the USSR period. He lacks the finesse or knowledge about a Soviet battle plan in Europe to play effectively, and i really doubt everyone wants me mod eventing a whole war against Europe through a mod controlled USSR. -Feud'''
 * Huh. I only started the Romanian invasion when the Soviet Union did, with that being crossed out Yugoslvia is on its own in the war, against the 2 fronts which I can't win. So I'm asking feud to delete my last turn and start new again next turn. AH28


 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land; establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. "Moeldokos March to the Sea" was termed one of the greatest miltary operation launched by the Nationalist, and brought about the capture of 71,000 US soldiers and 90,000 Democrat soldiers.  With the U.S. withdrawal, the 285,000 troops in Kalimantan successfully pushed back the Democratic forces. These units were joined in by a further 250,000 from Papua. Along the same time, 180,000 soldiers started an offense in Sulawesi. 
 * Israel:  A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 4.2 million. The State of Israel enjoys NATO and EU membership. The State finishes it's first nuclear weapon and begins production of more. Construction of a Football Stadium in Jerusalem starts, with the intended capacity being 50.000. It will be named the Ben-Gurion Stadium.
 * The United Kingdom: We begin major conscription and enact the draft in order to build up the UK's army and make it even more powerful so that we will be able to effectively defend during the conflict in Europe.We successfully launch a rocket into space and begin recruiting citizens who are willing to be trained as astronauts. We plan on recruiting people from all over Europe. We send 250,000 troops to Yugoslavia to help Romania and Italy. The war in the Netherlands and Central Europe becomes very popular and many teens in the UK adopt the phrase "Viva Europa" (referring to the EU). With the war in Indonesia now in ceasefire we move our troops and battleships back home and effectively block off the North Sea preventing Russia from accessing the Atlantic through it. We also move a quarter of the British Navy to the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. We send a force of 300,000 to fight on the German front and send begin bombing Yugoslavia. We move 130,000 to aid Italy. We send 50,000 troops to Israel. We ask Turkey for permission to move troops through the country so that we can get to Romania and help them (MOD PROBABLY NEEDED). We ask the United States, China, & the Federation of India to begin an assault on Siberia (MOD NEEDED). We begin placing tactical nuclear missiles in Finland. (More later) (For Mod: Were the French and British successful in liberating the Netherlands? We had about a force of 300,000 that led the invasion) The campaign in the Netherlands happened before the retconned USSR stuff so can you please tell me if we won the war or not? Also, does this mean that the war in Indonesia is still happening since the USSR events were retconned?
 * Western African Federation: Expansion of the military continues. Meanwhile a lot of troops joins and are recruited to the military. The planned buildings are bunkers and fortresses on the Northwest. The population in Lagos stands about 2,5 mil. As we began to plan to construct ships and tanks. Thus a lot concerns as Soviet Union is growing, so we decide not to join the war unless someone tells us to do so.
 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy. Such groups becoming popular include The Animals, The Temptations (playing "My Girl" this year), and The Supremes (playing "In the Name of Love").  Phil Ochs also puts out anti-war music.  This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. Much military is withdrawn from China as the Budapest Accords are completed, and allowing the Republican Government to defeat the remaining Communists. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. After signing the London Accords, the US hands over control of Sulawasi, Kalimenten, and Papua to the Sumatran government, and gives juristiction of maintaining peace to the peacekeeping coalition agreed in the accords. Defense spending is redevoted into the east coast military, sending two carrier fleets to directly attack the Soviet Navy in the Baltic sea. The navy stationed in the Aegean Sea cross the Helespont to help the French against the Soviets in the Black Sea. 800,000 troops are sent to help NATO drive the Soviets out of Germany, with an additional 300,000 troops to help Italy invade Yugoslavia. The entirety of American industry is devoted to the war effort. A tactical nuclear missile is prepared in Syria against the Soviet military in the Caucaus.  


 * ​US dip:  We ask all NATO members, including Norway and Canada, to help fight this late war against the Communists
 * US dip (to Japan and Sweden):  We ask again to place defensive nuclear bases in your nation
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Suehiro Nishio accepts the US's offer to place defensive nuclear bases in Japan.
 * Italy:  The use of nuclear weapons by the USSR forces Italy to ready her nuclear arsenal, however primitive it may be. After much deliberation, we have come to a decision: We have no choice but to use our submarine navy to blockade the Adriatic Sea and the Dardanelles of shipping going to the Warsaw Pact.  Industry is shifted away from an aircraft carrier, which would probably not be very helpful at this stage, toward destroyers and missile cruisers. 100k more CTs reach completion, but planners know that this rate of production will be nowhere near enough to equip the entire armed forces. Those who have finished training for the use of the CTs, as well as 85,000 new reserves entering training, begin reorganization into shock corps called Truppe Tempesta capable of effectively demolishing infantry columns. Not counting those entering the shock corps, 150,000 soldiers enter the armed forces, and, after long deliberation, they are sent to reinforce troops on the Italo-Yugoslav front in order to force the Soviet Union's hand. We begin ramping up investment into an Italian nuclear program, and pull the bunker project, now codenamed Projetto Volta, off the back burner.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation. Elections for the Prime Minister are finished and the results are in. Suehiro Nishio is elected again for a second term.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.


 * ​ Seriously which ever one of you tossers keeps deleting my turns stop it! It's really pissing me off. 
 * Jordan: We begin to work on our army with a standing army of 9000 troops. We begin to work on our nuclear weapons and produce a Syria-Jordanian nuke testing it in the Syrian desert bring Jordain pride back and begin to work on more.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We also test our nuclear weapon with Jordan help in the Syrian desert and begin to work on more. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 90,000 troops. We join the UMS. We send some nuclear scientists to Sweden for "vacation" with their real plan to help Sweden become a nuclear power.
 * Kurdistan continues to focus on economic and military development, keeping a close eye on tensions between Europe and the Soviets. Clandestine support of rebels in the USSR continues, with great care being taken to ensure that this support remains secret. The Kurdish Prime Minister, personally interested in archaeology, orders a government-sanctioned investigation of the ruins found in Moesopotamia. Strangely, the ruins seem oddly modern, a relic of a surprisingly advanced civilization. Kurdish academics are thrilled.
 * French Dip: Several French Universities take an interest in the ruins recently discovered in Kurdistan and the gvernment requests permission to send archeologists to take part in the excavation of the ruins.
 * US Dip: Dr. Catherine Langford of the National Geographic Society offers to organize an expedition to help the French on their excavation, under permission of the State Department.
 * British Diplomacy: We ask the Kurdistani government for permission to join in the excavation.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. The French unveil the AMX-30 their new standard MBT to replace the aging one large scale production begins as the older tanks are phased out and sold to Indochina and China. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate.French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democraticly elected government or face French intervention. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. Support for nationalist groups in Yugoslavia begins in earnest and radio programs condemning the Yugoslav government's continued aggressions against the west and against grass root democratic movements in the civilized world. The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science. Construction of The first French bullet train begins. Development of the F60 begins (famas). The incident outside of Notre dame University comes as a complete shock to the French nation as it not only was the loss of life of two youths but it was the first time that a major protest had occurred against the Fourth Republic. Fearing a return to political instability de Gaulle agrees to keep a tight reign on the empire after facing increasing pressure from the right wing which now dominates the French political machine. However, de Gaulle makes a promise to keep the armed forces under control. French troops are told to make ready and march across the Dutch border should the nazi party not step down.   The government begins looking at the rest of the dependent regions to determine which areas should be granted greater autonomy as public pressure begins to mount for an end to violence (I'm not going to let go completely of my colonies but as I discussed with Feud I will turn them into client states that are part of the Union Francaise, but won't control them directly any longer.) Plans are made to turn the French Foreign Legion into a volunteer army ready to serve the Union Francaise, the forces will be made up of volunteers from Union members who wish to serve and any who serve will be granted citizenship after five years of service. Naval expansion continues and production of missile carrier subs begin. De Gaulle disgusted at how NATO has deviated from their original purpose and are pursuing a war with the Federation that could potentially end in disaster for democracy and a resurgence in Communist power declares to the public that the AMericans and British have been plotting a potential invasion of the Federation and the Brits have contemplated using nuclear weapons against innocent citizens. De Gaulle along with major figures of the Srench government and military in a public speech say that they will not support a war that could potentially end with the destruction of the civilized world and propose that all parties involved in the crisis come to the negotiation table which could be held in Paris to resolve this endless and rather pointless war.  Falling in line with EU mandates 200,000 troops move into the Lowlands to dismantle the nazi regime but all efforts to get the Dutch army to lay down arms are made as the French are ordered not to harm a people who have goe through enough turmoil by countless regime changes. The French promise to keep the EU forces in line and to make sure free and fair elections occur in the new netherlands.  More troops are sent to Romania and The French demand that the rest of the EU provide troops for what will be an inevitable war with the Warsaw Pact, 1.2 million troops are amassed for another campaign into Eastern Europe.  The French send their first rocket into space, bringing them into the space race with the other world powers.  
 * North African Departments: Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity. All of North Africa is designated as land for settlement by the French authorities as they decide that North and Saharan Africa will be retained for economic and strategic purposes.  Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria. The White population continues to grow in Algeria despite some protests from the mainland over the treatment of locals and the continued bloodshed, the population currently standing at 2.5 million.


 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.) The government begins increasing the power colonial subjects educated in France granting them more placess in the administration. More arms are sent to the NKA to combat Communists and training of NKA officials and troops in insurgency and counterinsurgency tactics are offered due to France's recent development of suppression tactics.
 * French Indochina: With the suppression of most of the Cambodian and Laotian rebels the colonial authorities offer the more moderate members of the independence movement a chance to come to the table to discuss the establishment of the state of Cambodia and Laos as autonomous members of the Union Francaise, and The French will withdraw the majority of their forces from the region with the exception of a small force. Negotiations continue as the details are hammered out. French forces are withdrawn from parts of cambodia and laos as a sign of good faith.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We will continue to support Iberian nationalists in Portugal. We use the significant Spanish and Catalan population to create a party known as the Iberian party which we will support with monetary support. We will use this party to pressure the government to join Spain(MOD). We will use this party to make Androrra closer to Spain.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 110,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 45,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 120,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * Sudanese-Uganda: The governmental building is two-thirds complete and the president has returned from the United States. An election for a new president from the Ugandan people have taken place. Troops are on guard as violence grows in Africa and roads and infrastructure are built and improved.
 * Republic of the Philippines: President Elizabeth Bayabos still continues the modernisation effort and the numerous construction projects across the country. Our modernisation strategy is to export vast quantities of low-cost manufactured goods to other countries while maintaining relative self-sufficiency by developing a strong agricultural base and using our own reserves of raw materials and energy. There is heavy emphasis on heavy industry, such as the steel, shipbuilding, automobile-manufacturing, and chemical industries. She continues to monopolises several "key" industries. She also begins to improve overall infrastructure, specially in the growing urban areas. She would like to increase trade with Japan and the Federation, she also offers trade with the Nationalist Indonesian government once the war is over. GDP per capita (adjusted for inflation) surpasses $2000, much higher than our neighbors. We continue to participate in the Indonesian conflict, deploying 80,000 more troops (making a total of 200,000 troops), though we would want them to fight under the Federation's command. The government denounces the British government for their ridiculous claims and we do not agree to their terms. We continue our invasion of Sarawak (and Sabah) with 200,000, 50,000 more then before troops, using our proximity, high morale, and greater population density (Sarawak is relatively "underpopulated") to our advantage, we encourage our nationalist allies to help us. We heavily militarise our maritime borders with the British and develop our navy. We use Federation transport capabilities and ship our forces from Sulawesi to Kalimantan to attempt to retake territory and surround the surviving pro-American forces. We centralise our control of the populace by promoting a nationalist ideology. We begin expulsion of all Americans and British for safety purposes.


 * Philippine Dip: We would like the Federation to re-assert our position as a rising regional power through increased investment in our rapidly ballooning tiger economy (a GDP of above $65 billion) and strengthening military of hundreds of thousands of troops.
 * Romania: We continue secretly Aromanian, Croat and Bosnian rebels in Yugoslavia. However, we are ready to stop this if the Yugoslav government reforms to Trotskyism, instead of Stalinism. We propose a trade deal to the Soviet Union, in order to sooth up relations a bit. We also want to establish trade agreements with the Federation, France, USA, Philippines, Japan, UK, Germany, Italy and Hungary. We announce that we start developing the plane model Tunet X-1, which is gonna be able to travel with the speed of sound, and we ask for international fundin g in order to create this marvel, for this, we will sell them for a lower price to the countries that contributed. We propose the re-establishment of the United Nations. Due to some fears, the Romanian government still leaves the mobilized troops on the borders. The Romanian Archeological Institute asks the Kurdish government if it is allowed to research these ruins. We support population growth.
 * Philippine Diplomacy: We will trade with you, however we will only engage in trade extensively once trade routes are more stable. We also request that we send a total of 50,000 skilled workers to Romania so they can remit a portion of their incomes back to the Philippines as well as boosting your economy.
 * Romanian Dip: We accept
 * Yemen: We start building our army for 25,000 to 30,000. Our first of the two destroyers is finished. We continue to sell oil at a reduced price to NATO.
 * Portugal: We continue sending people into Portuguese West AFrica to work at the oil rigs. We are very close to developing a monopoly over the new rigs. We also continue to make sure that Iberian nationalists do not take hold in Portugal.

''' The ruins spark a massive scientific and archaeological dig in the area from a multitude of nations with upwards of 5000 scientists and researchers coming on their own dollar begging the Kurdistani government to see this finding. '''

The Empire of Ethiopia announces its own finding as well inviting US, Federation, French, and Soviet scientists and researchers to the sit for limited access to the ruins.

'''Nelson Mandela begins to wage an unsung war in the northern regions of South Africa with an explicit plan to evict the whites from the country. His forces swell to 60,000 with potential to grow even more.'''

The first prisoner exchanges are scheduled to take place between US and Federation forces in March as the exit of the two powers slows down but doesnt stop the continuing Indonesian-Sumatran War.

''' The USSR continues to see movement towards reorganization with multiple high level Soviet generals and leaders seeking to reach amiable peace with the West and end the obvious tension between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This re-organization push, however, brings the Ire of Khruschev who blatantly disregards the men and sends some of the minor to remote Soviet Outposts. '''

''' An interesting trend occurs as new Soviet settlement policy brings Hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens beyond the Urals into Siberia, and its Central Asian member states notably Kazakhstan. This policy seems to be spurred on by the Soviet government who wishes to emulate the American settlement of her frontiers. '''


 * Western African Federation: We continue to expand our economy and our military. More troops are recruited joining the WAF army. More ships are constructed and some tanks will be developed as well. Thus some buildings and even fortresses begin to be built, while population grows up. The industry still making progress. We might plan to build planes.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporation. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.
 * Romania: We continue secretly Aromanian, Croat and Bosnian rebels in Yugoslavia. However, we are ready to stop this if the Yugoslav government reforms to Trotskyism, instead of Stalinism. We propose a trade deal to the Soviet Union, in order to sooth up relations a bit. We also want to establish trade agreements with the Federation, France, USA, Philippines, Japan, UK, Germany, Italy and Hungary. We announce that we start developing the plane model Tunet X-1, which is gonna be able to travel with the speed of sound, and we ask for international funding in order to create this marvel, for this, we will sell them for a lower price to the countries that contributed. We propose the re-establishment of the United Nations. Due to some fears, the Romanian government still leaves the mobilized troops on the borders.  We support population growth.
 * British Diplomacy: We agree to a trade agreement and will help fund the building of the Tunet X-1.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Suehiro Nishio accepts Romania's offer of trade agreement.
 * Italian Dip: We agree to the proposed trade agreement and to funding the development of the Tunet X-1.
 * French Dip: The French agree.
 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life. New television shows instill the youth with a culture of sympathy and morality, and whole families begin sprawling out to live in the suburbs. Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy.  This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. The artifacts recovered by Dr. Langforth are classified by the US government, and sent to Area 51 for study. The State Department asks the Kurdistan Government to place the excavation site under protection to prevent tourists from vandalizing the artifacts. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. General Bonesteel and his fellow officers return to the United States hailed as heroes. Many of the lesser soldiers face harsh response coming from the anti-war youth culture, however. Much military spending shifts to the Atlantic, as 300,000 troops are stationed in Romania, 150,000 in Germany, and 40,000 in Hungary. A carrier fleet is stationed to the American naval base in Greece. 
 * Hungary is completely neutral, your influence or not, that hasnt changed. no Hungarian bases. -Feud
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. The French unveil the AMX-30 their new standard MBT to replace the aging one large scale production begins as the older tanks are phased out and sold to Indochina and China. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest. De Gaulle is hailed by many in France as the man who is restoring French power abroad. Paris demands that the Egyptians end all funding to movements. Economic growth starts to pick up as industrial production continues at a large rate.French authorities consider intervening in the violence the Congo to prevent a spread to French Central Africa. Paris refuses to recognize the new government in the Netherlands and demands that they hand power over a democratically elected government or face French intervention. Efforts to up the pressure on Communism grow as support for a pro-democracy radio channel in Eastern Europe starts, and the government requests that Romania allow the group to operate from within Romanian territory. Support for nationalist groups in Yugoslavia begins in earnest and radio programs condemning the Yugoslav government's continued aggression against the west and against grass root democratic movements in the civilized world. The French continue their space program and also commit to supporting the EU program but keeping a separate one to the EU as to avoid dependency on EU science.  The French send their first rocket into space, bringing them into the space race with the other world powers.   Construction of The first French bullet train begins. Development of the F60 begins (famas). The ruins in Kurdistan are seen as a major discovery for man kind as the French scientific community becomes facinated with the different findings, efforts to try to decipher the writings begin using the Rosetta Stone and cunieform  as a foundation to try to see if that will work. The French government and universities are more then willing to send scientists to investigate the ruins a 230-person expedition is outfitted made up of anthropologists, archaeologists, sociologists, and specialists in diverse fields.    The government begins looking at the rest of the dependent regions to determine which areas should be granted greater autonomy as public pressure begins to mount for an end to violence (I'm not going to let go completely of my colonies but as I discussed with Feud I will turn them into client states that are part of the Union Francaise, but won't control them directly any longer.) Plans are made to turn the French Foreign Legion into a volunteer army ready to serve the Union Francaise, the forces will be made up of volunteers from Union members who wish to serve and any who serve will be granted citizenship after five years of service. Naval expansion continues and production of missile carrier subs begin. De Gaulle disgusted at how NATO has deviated from their original purpose and are pursuing a war with the Federation that could potentially end in disaster for democracy and a resurgence in Communist power declares to the public that the Americans and British have been plotting a potential invasion of the Federation and the Brits have contemplated using nuclear weapons against innocent citizens. De Gaulle along with major figures of the Srench government and military in a public speech say that they will not support a war that could potentially end with the destruction of the civilized world and propose that all parties involved in the crisis come to the negotiation table which could be held in Paris to resolve this endless and rather pointless war.  Falling in line with EU mandates 200,000 troops move into the Lowlands to dismantle the nazi regime but all efforts to get the Dutch army to lay down arms are made as the French are ordered not to harm a people who have goe through enough turmoil by countless regime changes. The French promise to keep the EU forces in line and to make sure free and fair elections occur in the new netherlands. Vocal support for the reformists in the soviet union is given and the French government condemns the hardliner actions of Moscow. 
 * North African Departments: Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity. All of North Africa is designated as land for settlement by the French authorities as they decide that North and Saharan Africa will be retained for economic and strategic purposes.  Efforts at assimilation increase as the pied noir now have a much stronger position in Algeria and the province is granted seats within the government. All who adopt French citizenship will be granted the right to vote though those who refuse will be granted the choice of either moving into the neighboring French colonies or to another region. Troops remain on high alert. Plans to test out France's first nuclear bomb within two years in South Algeria are set up. Those who have embraced French culture and accepted French citizenship are informally called Harkis by both the Pied-Noir and by native Algerians who have not embraced France. The Harki are granted the right the same rights as the Pied-Noir and Jews and they are seen more and more as a separate ethno-cultural group from the non-French Muslims in Algeria. The White population continues to grow in Algeria despite some protests from the mainland over the treatment of locals and the continued bloodshed, the population currently standing at 2.5 million.


 * French Central and West Africa: Troops are relocated to the region as violence throughout Central and South Africa grows, and efforts to improve infrastructure in the region begins to improve the general well being of the population and economic potential of the region. support for the NKA grows as French officials believe supporting this group will help secure French interests in the region. Development of the region's resources begin, and development of infrastructure also begin. The French offer to help the NKA with arms and paramilitary should they request the aid. To combat the Communist threat in the Congo and unite the region. (mod response please.) The government begins increasing the power colonial subjects educated in France granting them more placess in the administration. More arms are sent to the NKA to combat Communists and training of NKA officials and troops in insurgency and counterinsurgency tactics are offered due to France's recent development of suppression tactics.
 * French Indochina: With the suppression of most of the Cambodian and Laotian rebels the colonial authorities offer the more moderate members of the independence movement a chance to come to the table to discuss the establishment of the state of Cambodia and Laos as autonomous members of the Union Francaise, and The French will withdraw the majority of their forces from the region with the exception of a small force. Negotiations continue as the details are hammered out. French forces are withdrawn from parts of cambodia and laos as a sign of good faith.
 * Madagascar: Economic development of the colony begins.
 * French Middle East: French troops in the region continue to watch vigilently over the free state, and plans for economic integration with Israel begin as talks with Tel Aviv continue over the formation of a possible Federation of the Levant under French protection.
 * Syria: We continue rebuilding Syria from our war of independence working on freeways and cites. We begin to open up more jobs to improve our country. We allow the US to set up nukes in Syria in case we are under attack. We also test four more nuclear weapons in the Syrian desert and begin to work on more with ten so far. Due to our nuclear testing people begin to party shouting ant-Israeli and pro-Syrian things. We begin to work on a standing army starting off with 300,000 troops. We join the UMS. We send some nuclear scientists to Sweden for "vacation" with their real plan to help Sweden become a nuclear power.
 * Unless you were given them, there is no way you can have nukes. Also no way for you in particular as Syria to even attempt to manufacture them. -Feud
 * Israel:  A new government campaign starts encouraging the people to reproduce. Population stands at 4.3 million. The State of Israel enjoys NATO and EU membership. The State finishes it's first nuclear weapon and begins production of more. Construction of a Football Stadium in Jerusalem starts, with the intended capacity being 50.000. It will be named the Ben-Gurion Stadium.
 * Nationalist Indonesia: Expansion of the Indonesian military and the state infrastructure continued. President Sayuti Melik anounced the imposition of a land reform, a law prohibiting the ownership of more than 200 feddans of land (840,000 sq meters), limiting the rental rate for land, establishing cooperatives for farmers, minimum wages, etc. Armaments were purchased from the Federation of Americas, and the military directly cooperated with the Federation to train the Indonesian forces. Meanwhile, Indonesia developed a highly centralized planned economy focused on import substitution, and nationalized numerous important industries including the iron and steel, heavy machinery, and chemical industries. Heavy emphasis was also placed upon the agriculture and energy industries. "Moeldokos March to the Sea" was termed one of the greatest miltary operation launched by the Nationalist, and brought about the capture of 71,000 US soldiers and 90,000 Democrat soldiers.  With the U.S. withdrawal, a total of 535,000 troops launched one of the largest offensives, aiming to capture the entirety of Kalimantan, backed by the majority of the Indonesian Armoured Corps. Along the same time, 180,000 soldiers started an offense in Sulawesi, with the Indonesian Air Force launching air raids upon Democrat positions in Sulawesi, and the Indonesian Navy attempting to strangle supplies being delivered through the Celebes Sea to the Democratic forces. Meanwhile, 95,000 troops at Papua held back the Democrats. 
 * Germany: With tensions increasing in Europe elections are held this year. The German Conservative Party takes the majority vote and the CDU is no longer the leader of the country. Fearful of Soviet intentions the standing army is increased to 300,000 and the Democratic Guard is created, requiring all males aged 18-21 to serve in it for four years. Light fortifications are build across Germany's eastern border. The autobahn is completed this year. German scientists continue to research nuclear energy and assist the EU space program. We would also like to officially join NATO.
 * Yemen: We continue building our army up to 35,000 men and create a new tank factory which will produce M47 Patton tanks.
 * Federation of the Americas: The Federation continues to see prolific population growth but also sees an anti-war ideology develop in the country. This shows increasing anti-war protests but polls indicate a silent majority of the people are still in support of the conflict, seeing it as a symbol of how far the country has come. From a disunified group of nation states, to a unified front able to acheive superpower Status. The Federation continues to see economic slowdown due to a large GDP percentage spent on military force. However the Federation President keeps back hiking taxes to pay for this and instead draws down salaries of many of its politicians having the advantage to do this through many of the Federations anti-corruption legislation, and Anti buisiness lobbying laws as well. The Federation military sees more of its equipment modernized. The Tar-15 makes its official entry onto the military scene having proven much more effective than the EM-2 in combat testing in Indonesia. The weapon is known to never having suffered a single jam in the current Battle of West Papua and the reports surrounding its use show incredible accuracy, and utility able to mount many attachments. The Federation deploys a new sniper rifle as well the M-20 bolt action sniper. The Federation continues development of its infrastructure as well with a noticeable increase in its metro system being known. The government investment into the metro and highway systems connect many of the Southern cities making settlement of many of its interior territories much easier. The Capital Area of San Salvacion sees some of the most prolific growth as well. The Federation continues development of its space program but begins lagging as it works on its receding economy. With the invitation by Ethiopia to look at the ruins a science team consisting of nearly 200 scientists and their personal guards are sent to look at the ruins.

1966.5
''' Intensive research from both sets of ruins in Kurdistan and Ethiopia, lead many scientists to discover that these are not alien ruins, but ruins of a previous human civilization existing a long time in Earth's past. The obvious hiding of both these ruins has led many to beleive the ruins were deliberately buried. The language of the ruins remains undecipherable but a considerable amount of technology is found in both nations ruin complex's leads to the deduction that the previous civilization was hightly advanced '''

 The major world religions struggle to explain the ruins with varous theories all falling through with only the "Great Flood" being located in the distant past of many religious texts being able to explain the potential for a previously destroyed civilization 

''' Soviet settlement of its interior continues with new townships heavily supported by the government beginning to spring up beyond the Urals. Its estimated upwards of one million Soviet citizens, mostly Russian, have settled these frontiers due to Soviet incentives and pro-active government action '''

''' The economy of most of the globalized world heads into recession with the US, Federation, UK, France, all heading into recession due to increased deficit spending. Many smaller nations tied to their economies in majoer ways enter into recessions as well. '''
 * Western African Federation: We continue to expand our economy and make progress with it, also for military to expand as well. More soldiers recruited in military. Some ships begin to construct as research of the tanks and planes begin. We build more bunkers and fortresses for protection of civilians.
 * Japan: Huge reconstruction and rebuilding continues throughout the nation. Japan also continues paying war reparations to all nations affected by the previous war. The Japanese National Railways continues expanding their infrastructure and continues building more tracks to reach more places across the nation.
 * United States:  A new era dawns as the Baby Boomer youth makes a profound impact on American culture, also known as "the beat generation". American economy and industry continues to expand exponentially as the new generation enters the labor force. Global media takes on a new shape as television, automobiles and electronic appliances are all staples of normal american life.

Rock and Roll becomes more popular as more young artists come out monthly, with sub-genres spreading out encouraging compassion and philosophy.  This youth culture also becomes more publically active, working towards charitable works in the nation and around the globe. The GFRU works with the extended Marshall plan for reconstructing Germany, while also extending American trade in China. The GFRU also has much work done in Hungary to educate the youth there about the dangers of Communism, before sending them into Yugoslavia to spread capitalist thought there. A series of boycotts in Alabama in recent years causes some states to push towards desegregation. American bases are stationed in China, Vietnam, Greece, and Siberia, with naval bases aiding Turkey's blockade of the Aegean Sea. United States foreign policy begins a "pivot to Europe" as it rededicates its efforts to prevent the spread of Communism in western Europe, while pulling out of Asia. 5000 troops are stationed in the southern border to prevent illegal immigraion. Defensive nuclear weapons are stationed on the US Virgin Islands for fear of Cuba. The military attempts to keep Dr. Langford's discoveries secret, but journalists quickly infiltrate military intelligence and reveal the anomolous nature of the artifacts to the country. The US sends a team of scientists to Ethiopia. Germany is accepted in NATO and likewise Austria and Hungary are offered membership, who are already given foreign financial aid. 
 * Italy: The discoveries of the recent years shock officials and citizens alike, forcing them to question what they had previously accepted as true. Conspiracy nuts begin shouting about how the governments of the world were keeping the technology secret from the public until "the people were ready," but the government makes an announcement that they had no clue the ruins were there either until their discovery was broadcast. Italy  requests to send its own scientists into Kurdistan and Ethiopia to see if they can study, and perhaps carbon date, the ruins. The time period of the ruins might help identify how great their discovery really is. With the recent recessions, the government begins to slow investment in infrastructure, though the trans-Italian railroad had already reached completion. The government begins to look for ways to alleviate the poverty brought on by the recession. Military spending, much to the chagrin of anti-war proponents, continues, albeit with minor cutbacks, with continued investment into modernizing Italy's nuclear arsenal, and, starting soon, into nuclear energy. The TT corps continue being organized into an effective fighting force, but many of the non-shock troops are returned to the reserves with the passing of the threat of Soviet invasion.
 * Saudi Arabia: With a recession resulting from issues in the economies of mainly non-SDP nations, we propose to the SDP to commence Operation: Autarky. By this, we mean that the corporation tax imposed by a resolution we proposed earlier will be exempt for SDP only companies, and the corporation tax on foreign companies will be 20%. Saudi Arabia will begin a tariff on all goods from non-SDP nations, beginning at 20%. We will begin a tax on "foreigners" targeted at people making a Hajj, with all goods they buy costing an extra 20%. The money that the SDP has stockpiled over the years from our central taxes should be reinvested in our economies and the SDP central stock exchange. Saudi Arabia, somewhat out of necessity, is becoming more industrial, though the majority of our population and economy is oil-based. Out of fear of a possible Syrian nuclear weapon, and more importantly a nuclear war involving Syria and Israel, we ask for either nukes to be supplid to us by the Federation or for them to station nukes in Saudi Arabia.
 * Portuguese West Africa:  Infrastructure is expanded and improved, with modernization of many transport sectors of the colony. The national guard stands at 3000 men. The colonial government also encourages emigration from Portugal and Spain to increase the educated labour reserve without having to risk any rebellions by educated natives. To cope with the ever-increasing influx of European settlers new white majority settlements are built across the coast of Angola.   In more positive news huge offshore oil fields have been discovered in the enclave of Cabinda, drawing much investment into the area by oil corporations. Along with this is an increased migration of whites to the state to work in the new oil fields.
 * Spain: We begin updating our weaponry to modern standards. We will begin supporting Iberian nationalists in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. We build up bases near our settlements in Africa to secure them from any aggression. We build up roads and civilian infrastructure in Spain and Spanish North Africa. We will begin to research nuclear weapons and will plan to build one by 1967. We will begin building up infrastructure in “Las colonias españolas”. We will continue to support Iberian nationalists in Portugal. We use the significant Spanish and Catalan population to create a party known as the Iberian party which we will support with monetary support. We will use this party to pressure the government to join Spain(MOD). We will use this party to make Androrra closer to Spain.
 * Spanish North Africa: Our 50,000 troops will protect the colonies and we continue to encourage Spaniards to come but not as rigorously to former Moroccan Territories. Mauritania is still under our control so we create settlements in Ndiago, El Tidra, Bou Lanouar, Nouamghar, Tioulit, and Jredia of 130,000. We begin moving inland as we are running out of land on the coast to make settlements of Inal, Bennichchab, Ninmjat, Merderdra, Tmeimichat, Akjoujt and the rest of the provinces of Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Inchiri and Trarza of 65,000.
 * Spanish Gabon: We will begin to create farms to industrialize Gabon since there is very little workable land. We will also recruit an army of 70,000 people. We will begin to build ports to more easily send resources back to Spain. We begin pulling in people to the island of Bioko bringing 140,000 Spaniards. We begin to seize land on the coast for inhabitation by Spaniards.
 * France: Naval expansion continues as new carriers are being contructed to replace the old ones. Industrial production increases as what will probably be the largest war in human history is about to begin. Conscription begins across France and the colonies which are slowly being transformed into semi-autonomous states within the Union Francaise. Development of a new rifle begins using bullpup designs with a prototype being developed. Paris continues to decentralize power from the homeland to local elites in the colonies namely of French, mixed or assimlilated origins in the process of turning the empire into a union of semi-autonomous states. Production of nuclear weapons continue as France strives to build an ICBM. The French unveil the AMX-30 their new standard MBT to replace the aging one large scale production begins as the older tanks are phased out and sold to Indochina and China. After long years of continued service the troops that served in the suppression of the Algerian revolt, in the Suez crisis and in the recent attempt to start the liberation of Eastern Europe are granted extra pay, and many are giving extended leave from the forces to rest.

The French government and universities are more then willing to send scientists to investigate the ruins a 230-person expedition is outfitted made up of anthropologists, archaeologists, sociologists, and specialists in diverse fields. reserach continues. The government and military take a greater interest in the ruins upon discovering the fact that they were from an ancient race of advanced technology. A few pieces are requested for further research in the security of French secret labs.  The government begins looking at the rest of the dependent regions to determine which areas should be granted greater autonomy as public pressure begins to mount for an end to violence (I'm not going to let go completely of my colonies but as I discussed with Feud I will turn them into client states that are part of the Union Francaise, but won't control them directly any longer.)

The French promise to keep the EU forces in line and to make sure free and fair elections occur in the new netherlands. Vocal support for the reformists in the soviet union is given and the French government condemns the hardliner actions of Moscow.  French intellegence increases its actvities throughout eastern europe. 
 * North African Departments: Efforts to keep the region in line with French policy grow as government officials slowly restore administrative control over the area. The North African colonial troops are rewarded for the service in the Second World War but efforts to keep them in areas away from their hometowns begin. Reconstruction of major northern cities begins, and efforts to begin exploring possible oil wells in Libya begin. Troops are relocated to the Egyptian border to keep contraband out and Egyptian funds out. Tunisia is opened up to further settlement by Europeans as the French see the region as another key area to French economic and geopolitical prosperity.

With it being to work on an modern electrical grid with some adaptation the technology brought home is discovered to be a computer. The research however stalls out as the inability to decipher or deal with the language leaving many linguists and researchers confused. The Federation besides many of its spending cutbacks continues the development and building of new warships specifically a new class of Aircraft carrier to be updated with modern technology and to further phase out some of the older non nuclear driven ships. The Federation also begins an expansive campaign to expand its Ballistic missile fleet to nearly 30 submarines.
