Night of the Living Alternate History (Map Game)

Welcome to Night of the Living Alternate History, a map game about teamwork, Zombies, warfare, and leading your makeshift country to controlling the remnants of the old world. Please read all rules and guidelines before joining the game.

On October 1, 1968 George A Romero released the film, Night of the Living Dead. Today it is viewed as the beginning of Zombies on the big screen, but what if that’s not all it inspired? In this map game we explore what would happen if a group of scientists decided to recreate some of the effects detailed in this movie...

Even if it means the death of thousands  millions of people.

Please read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline for information on some nations and events leading up to the start of the game.

If you are new to the game please visit the portal page, where you can find a tutorial and other information.

Here is a copy of the start map with less Zombies on it: Outdated.

Map creation Rules
A few general rules concerning the map so as to ensure "success:"
 * See the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * Make all nations different colors.
 * Try to make one for each half-year.
 * Colored circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
 * It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources displaying previously existing borders.

Changelog and Map Discussion
The changelog and discussion of the map is on the talk page.

Nations
If you have a creative idea for your nation that is not listed here, add it, but make sure you include some sort of back story when you make your first post. Even if an existing nation is not listed here you can still claim it if it is not already claimed. Make sure you read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline. The United States, (the nation, not the remnants of it) is moderator only as of right now.

The Game
Previous archive: 1986 to 1988.25 See archive section.

1988.50
'The Italian invasion of Venice and Lombardy begins. The Italians manage to push as far north as the city of Ferrara, where the alliance forces have barricaded themselves. The Italian War has begun. '

'The Italian forces are pinned down along the advance toward Ferrari. The Allies successfully defend the city (see algorithm).'

'Switzerland, Croatia and Venice mobilize their forces and deploy them for war in northern Italy. They ask that Austria do the same. Militia from Germany and the Holy Roman Empire are gathered to await further orders.'

'Rafael Gallegos’ followers, armed with weapons from Brazil, continue their campaign in the Guineas. Desmond Hoyte deploys armed forces to help quell violence. He once again asks the UR to remove their claims to the coastline. '

'The government of Salton fears that they may fall into civil war. The eastern section of the nation, the Imperial Valley, and Slab City all have fallen under the sway of Abelino Gutierrez. Armed forces are deployed near the Mexican border, accounting for dozens of deaths. Perceived rebels are executed, although many believe that the military actions are racist.'

'The prize of Los Angeles still remains to be taken. Salton, hoping to improve its forces in case of a civil war, enters San Diego. The city is divided between those from Tijuana, and the northern inhabitants. The border of Salton is expanded so that the southern border is the same as the Mexican-Californian border, while the west border is pushed to Route 15.'

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. Tatsunori Katsumata continues working on the game. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island.

Kingdom of Italy: The king goes on tour asking many other nations to help. The Navy is upgraded by 0.25 as troops land in the city of Venice. The official plan for this invasion is that the navy will keep pushing in from the south while the army will push from the north. An elite detachment of the Peatrion guard invades Venice and kidnaps the head Marshall.

Scandnavia: In the light of our ally Italy being invaded we upgrade the military by 0.25. We send mobilizer troops to Croatia and begin an occupation. We have officially honored the Pact of Diamond. Venice also did not meet our demands. '''Note: Rex asked me to post for him in the next three or four days, and he said if Venice invaded or did not make my demands I should invade. Octivian Marius (talk) 20:07, June 6, 2013 (UTC)'''

Republic of Susquehanna: War still rages on as the military attempts to quell the enemy through bombings. Fighters hit a group of pickup trucks, and destroy them as infantry push in. A missile strike in Berwick damages rail lines. The Texan unit is moved back to Danville as a re-inforcement, and the evacuation of Bloomsburg begins. The army upgrades by 0.25 due to increased recruits. The army strenthens by 3000 troops.

Rebels in Berwick are discovered to be armed with M72 Laws, M-16's, K-22 Bullpups, and have Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawks, F-100 jets, B-17 bombers, and several Point-class cutters refitted as gunboats.

The spy network for the RoS discovers a gun smuggling group that has provided the rebels with arms. Traces back lead them to Venice. After arresting an RoS citizen, it is revealed that the hardware came from Turkey, hoping to overthrow the government, install a pro-Turkish government, then attack the US.

A IED damages the US embassy.

Texas: The exploration group has made it as far as San Diego by now. However, they had to escape from forces of a man named Gutierrez. Some of them perished, and the group is now led by Jeb Bush. He tries to phone home, but the call doesn't go through. Instead, they decide to carry on their mission. They ask the local governments about the situation in California. Personally, Jeb had hoped it wasn't fractured as New Mexico is, but those hopes have been defeated.

Meanwhile, the Presidential primaries have ended. George Bush is the Republican nominee, Carlos Truan the Unionist nominee, and the KNP also has put up a more moderate candidate. George leads the polls, but Carlos also has widespread support. In Italy, troops begin being withdrawn as it becomes increasingly clear that Italy is more interested in invading than it is rebuilding. Some of them are sent to Susquehanna.


 * Kingdom Diplomacy: We would like Texas to stay in the war. Here is proof you should: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Alternate_History_(Map_Game)#1988.25 and we have bought Phalanx and it is not the Kingdom's fault that we are enemies.
 * Just so you know, the first thing people see with that link is that the terrorist attacks were orchestrated by the government. Bad move. Doctor Evulz (talk) 00:35, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * But the second one is that unbiased researchers found out it was terrorists. Octivian Marius (talk) 23:57, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

United Islamic Caliphate: A new subsector in the United Islamic Military Science and Development Department is created, and is the ''United Islamic Military Naval Science and Development Department. ''The reason for their creation is the military wanting to create a new, and large military ship style, hoping to build up a naval presence in the Arabian Peninsula. The industry sector continues to grow, hitting 1.50 from a small economic boom created from a new natural gas mining company. The new company is called NatruG and was supposibly inspired by the Caliph to create their own business, rely on their own profits, and compete against the government in the national markets since the nation has recovered from the civil war and needs much less government help. However, time will tell whether this business venture was a good idea or not. Commonwealth: The gas is to be sold at $80/litre. All those who requested gas are shipped 2000 litres at $160,000 dollars. The president declares that the war against Zombies will climax within the next ten years. Development and expansion continues. We gas the remainder of infected Malaysia.
 * UIC Diplomacy: The Council of the UIC offers to buy one hundred tons of steel from Scandanavia for $175,000\
 * RoS Diplomacy: We offer to sell the UIC 100 tons of steel for $125,000.
 * Kingdom Diplomacy: We would love if the UIC supports us.

Austria: After many months of political campaigning and debating, the Austrian election happens. However, the election is a controversial one and a new re-election is done after the two re-counts were viewed by an independent inquiry to be rigged and full of problems. The new election sets out the future style of Austrian elections and the election process is the pinnacle of modern technology to allow almost no bias and rigging. Anyway, after those months of scandal (a good reason for me not posting the past few turns, no?), the election is won by Deidrich Dopfer. His more liberal style of nationalism appealed to the majority of voters, though this majority was rather minimum. One of his first actions as president is to honour Austria's alliance and troops are mobilized, following the suit of Switzerland, Croatia and Venice.

Northern California: Californian monarchists file a not-guilty plea for Anita Klaubarg, which they think had Habsburg blood. However, the Desert Republic continues to expand. The failure of the federation with the Bay Republic extinguishes almost every hope of unification, which caused President Ronald Reagan to announce his resignation. But the National Assembly and Prime Minister Manuel Perez encourages him to stay in power.

East Africa: East African forces amass outside of the ruins of Dodoma for their planned assault on the city. The industry is developed by 0.25 to 0.75, and the construction of light armored vehicles begins in the capital city of Zanzibar. The government program to expand the population continues with strict criteria set out by the government, with increased rations provided to women who agree to join the program, and the military service for men willing to start a family lowered from ten to five years. Men who father ten children are granted a two-year tour of duty instead of five, and those who father twenty children are exempt from military service.

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Tractors are used in farming and massive water projects begin in the Yangtze river. Settlers arrive in the freed provinces. Exports resources. Quiet Year.

Chan Santa Cruz: We push north slightly from Mexico City, reaching Tuxpan on the east coast. We also reach the west coast at Zihuatanejo. Fortification takes place.

1988.75
'Deidrich Dopfer is elected Austrian speaker of the house, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as his vice speaker of the house. Dopfer’s ideology, known as Progressive-Nationalism, becomes popular among the people of Austria. While heavily nationalist, the new regime incorporates elements of progressive ideology. Dopfer is extremely popular, opposed only by hard-line nationalists and radical liberals. '

'100,000 Croatian veterans of the Yugoslavian conflict are deployed to Venice. Reserves are mobilized to defend the coastline from attack.'

'Yugoslavia, which was severely weakened by Zombies and the Croatian revolution, officially falls apart. Bosnia erupts in civil war, with Communists and Democrats meeting across the nation. Serbia remains mainly intact, aiding the Bosnian resistance. Montenegro declares its independence, although is claimed by Serbia. No clear government in Slovenia rises to power, leaving the nation governed by a transitional Communist government, under fire from several factions. The nations of Bosnia and Croatia both place claims to Slovenia, with Croatia even stationing some troops inside the nation.'

'The nation of Malaysia thanks the Commonwealth for their assistance in clearing their nation. Soldiers are recruited to scout on the ground for large concentrations of Zombies. Some Malaysian soldiers begin to report strange side effects from the gas attacks. Soldiers report severe dehydration and fatigue. A few causes are also found resulting in cancerous tumors.'

'The Northern Californian government asks Ronald Reagan, their most charismatic leader to continue ruling the nation. He reluctantly accepts after Prime Minister Brown states, “California isn’t yet unified, but you’ve unified our people.”'

'With the Jeffersonian rebellion long gone, supporters of the Jeffersonian state preach across the nation through the Californian Freedom party, which becomes a popular alternative to the jingoistic dictatorships of old. The party’s ideology reaches to include non-interventionism and protectionism.'

'Rafael Gallegos leads a force of about 10,000 armed militia into the overturned city of Bartica. He enters with much fanfare, growing his small force. His propaganda grows to Georgetown, comparing the government of Guyana to a “dog locked in a cage”, citing the UR’s occupation.'

'Forces from Salton take the coastal city of Oceanside, aiding the survivors in San Diego to the south. '

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. Tatsunori Katsumata continues working on 東方封魔録　～ The Story of Eastern Wonderland. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island

Commonwealth: We ask Malaysia to send us five of their soldiers, our leading medical researchers will study them and determine the cause of the dehydration and tumors. The Cureplex complex is locked down, as it goes through a massive decontamination from the Zombie research. Research, development and expansion continues.

Dinetah: A gunsmith has been created in Durango, now becoming Dinetah's center of industry, and new weapons are issued to armed forces. (Military is upgraded.) The Council unveils its new plan to form a land trade route with Chan Santa Cruz. Much of the new military reaches Mexican Durango, and it pushes south, hoping to make it to Mexico City before the year ends. The Zombie-killing gas has been used in action, mostly with positive results. Workers move south after the soldiers, with a fort being built in Gallup. We ask all nations to help assist us in the trade route, especially Southwest League members and Texas. A conference is held in Teec Nos Pos to solve the border and unification dispute with Painted Desert. Can someone do an algorithim?

Falklands: We decide to distance ourselves from politics, but we request a gallon of the Commonwealth gas.

Kingdom of Italy: The liberation of Albania is complete turning it into a colony of the Kingdom, we work on the Bosnians declaring war on the terrible nation of Croatia. We ask for more allies in this treacherous war as two soldiers are bombed inside Rome. As the war continues with a successful blockade of Venice the navy is upgraded by 0.25. Secret Diplomacy: We ask Wu what is up with the island deal.

Scandinavia: In the heat of war the army is upgraded 0.25.

United Islamic Caliphate: The development of a new and large military ship continues under the funding from the  UIMNSDD, as the steel purchased from the UIC's ally, the Republic of Susquehanna. A basic design has been submitted by three different research groups, and each group will prepare and present a presentation on their design, from which the UIMNSDD suggests an option to the United Islamic MIlitary Science and Development Department, where the decision will ultimately lie. Talks begin between NatruG and two homeowners on buying their homes, and bulldozing them to make way for a new small natural gas mining facility. A bomb explodes in the capital of Ta'izz, but its origin is unknown at the momen. Investigations have begun, under the ''Islamic Caliph Department of Interior Defense. (The head of the I.C.D.I.D ''holds a bias against both Oman because of his families deportation from there at a young age, and against Eritrea for declining to join the UIC, as he is slightly radical. Can a Mod Event decide whether he: A. Places blame on Oman; B. Places blame on Eritrea; or C. Finds evidence of what group really caused the bombing.)
 * UIC Diplomacy: The Council accepts the Republic of Susquehanna's offer, and also offers 20 Saladin-1D tanks for the RoS base in Socotra for free as a show of good faith. The Council declines to militarily aid the Kingdom of Italy, but offer to increase the amount of natural gas and crude oil shipped to the Kingdom for a lower price to aid them.

Northern California: Meanwhile, the first wave of settlers arrive in the Desert Republic. They are to resettle a sector of South Lake Tahoe, opposite the administrative sector. However, survivors disliked the move, so they took up arms, not against Zombies, but against the military administration. On the domestic front, Reagan decides to stay in power. Alarmed about the insurgency in the Desert Republic, he sends more troops to protect the resettlers. However, he atttempts to befriend the surrounding nations. The aircraft carrier R.C.S. Eureka arrives in Seattle as a show of good will.

Chan Santa Cruz: Massive efforts are put into national unity, with a vast propaganda campagn taking place. The Government of Mexico is found within Mexico City and given a choice. "Join our nation or face overwhelmingly superior forces and die. We would rather you joined us peacefully. Given that you are running low on supplies and that your nation is in tatters we offer you your best chance. If you prove loyal we may even give you positions such as governor of the city, etc." Otherwise, we will unfortunately have to declare war upon you and destroy this threat. Have a nice day."

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Tractors are used in farming and massive water projects begin in the Yangtze river. Settlers arrive in the freed provinces. Cities are built and the population reaches 300 million. A third aircraft carrier, as well as ten new destroyers are built. The New Aircraft Carrier is named the W.S.S Shilang, while the other destroyers were named the ZhiLong classes. Increases its army score to 2.75. The Flag of Wu is given and replaces the old flag, consisting of a large Chinese Character Wu over a Blue background. The red Background symbolizes the blood of the martyrs who died to build Wu, the four Blue lines symbolises the four great rivers of China: the Amur River, Yellow River, Yangtze River and Pearl River. The green diamond in the middle symbolises the land of Wu and the Yellow Star symbolises the spirit and essence of Wu. The first democratic elections are held in the capital: Nanking. A total of 20 parties ran for the election and the winner was the Wu National Party for 47%, with the Runner's up to be the Wu Communist Party with 35%. A calculated total of 205 million man and woman voted. The new president is Hu Jin Tao, a previous Communist who left the party to escape from the Zombies. He would be the President for five years. 500,000 people are enlisted into the army and trained efficiently and harshly. The Phalanx gas received from the Commonwealth is researched and the scientists are trying to replicate it. Some Zombiologists are trying to use Zombie labour for basic physical activities with little progress, except for a Zombie that is able to push crates around.

Republic of Susquehanna: We thank our ally for the tanks. Progress is made in the war, with the army pushing the Berwick rebels out of Bloomsburg. A SWAT team raids a warehouse and finds empty crates marked for anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, assault rifles, handguns, grenades, and shotguns. Areas between Berwick and Bloomsburg look like a WWI battlefield with tanks and trenches on both sides. The Air Force attacks the enemy positions, hoping to knock them offguard. Estimates are the war will last another three to five years. The government is evacuated to Socotra.

1989
'A trade route is blazed from the Yucatan to Veracruz. Chan Santa Cruz scouts find that central Mexico is heavily infected, and several attempts to enter Mexico City end in complete slaughter. Survivors near the city join the forces from the south.'

'Representatives from Painted Desert meet with the leaders of the nation of Dinetah. Painted Desert proposes that the border be established at 37° 11′ 1.62″ N, 108° 20′ 19.27″ W, running vertically from the southwest corner of Mesa Verde, with Painted Desert controlling everything west, and Dinetah controlling everything east.'

'After much investigation it is revealed that the bomb which was detonated in Yemen earlier in the year was placed by an Eritrean officer and former Djibouti native. The government believes that the individual orchestrated the event to protest Djibouti’s annexation. '

'Villages across the Yucatan peninsula are united by Chan Santa Cruz. Although some are opposed to the annexation, most are in favor of the action.'

'After heavy naval bombardment from the coast, about 150,000 Croatian and Venetian soldiers take back the area around Ferrara and take the city of Ravenna. Allied strategists begin to make plans for an offensive to follow the coast. '

'After a decisive battle over the Adriatic Sea the Italian navy is heavily damaged. The majority of the pre-apocalypse Italian navy has been captured or sunk, with the remainder damaged and withdrawn to Taranto. Some of the Italian sailors enter the city hoping to find supplies, but encounter heavy Zombie resistance. Italy’s naval score drops to 1.50. '

'The Malaysian government forcefully sends several Malaysian soldiers in secret to the Commonwealth. About a hundred cases of rare cancers appear in the Malaysian jungle, killing several soldiers. The government attempts to cover up the cases, controlling the news to make it sound like they are making excellent progress against the Zombies.'

'Protests appear across the Guinea coast, especially in Georgetown where several thousand people have risen into the streets against the UR settlers. Rafael Gallegos marches north, executing dozens of UR supporters. Linden is looted by the rebels who then march to New Amsterdam.'

After a stroke, Pieter Willem Botha resigns his party's leadership and the presidency of South Africa.

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. Tatsunori Katsumata finishes working on 東方封魔録　～ The Story of Eastern Wonderland and will release it later this year. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island.

Texas continues withdrawing its troops from Italy. George Bush easily wins the election, with 60% to Truan's 37%. He promises "continued co-operation with New Mexico" and "growing our network of alliances". He makes a trip across many New Mexican cities. He meets with many of their leaders, wanting to foster closer relations with them. He spends time in Dinetah with the hope of easing tensions between the countries. Meanwhile in California, Jeb Bush and his group begin to head to San Francisco and Sacramento, hearing rumors of a UR-style union there.

Commonwealth: The Malaysian soldiers are sent to the Cureplex, and are told that even though the gas was tested safe on our people, it may not be the safest. Genes and DNA samples are taken from the soldiers. All buyers of Phlaxicortin-X are advised to not have soldiers around the misted areas until the mist has settled. (The Phlaxicortin-X is liquid, dropped as a mist from low altitudes from specially fitted bombers and fire planes.) It is also advised that before dropping on urban areas, people seal off their houses, and should be issued masks to prevent inhalation of the mist from the air, until it is settled that is. Development, research and expansion all continue.

Kingdom of Italy: The Kingdom's strategy changes because of the recent defects. Now the Kingdom is trying to act on defense untill a new fleet is complete. Secretly the Kingdom makes a small fleet of ships that is specifically made for conquering Venice. The Navy is upgaded 0.25. The ULN is a VERY inaffective organization. A detachment of the Praetorian Guard sneaks into a camp of the Venetians and leaves ten Zombies to destroy the camp.
 * How is the ULN ineffective? It's not helping you invade because we voted the proposal down.

Scandinavia: A troop of spies sneaks into Bosnia making 25% of the Bosnians believe that Croatia is bad. The army is upgraded by 0.25.

United Islamic Caliphate: A design for a ship, which is basically a four-fifths size copy of the United States Spruance-class Destroyer, is selected by the UIMSDD instead of the one recommended by the UIMNSDD, their recommendation being of an almost entirely new class of naval ship, and was deemed too expensive to go to prototype stage and to mass produce. The ship class chosen is named a Medinian-class 'Light Destroyer, and the first ship is currently under construction. Small groups of soldiers patrol the major cities of Yemen and Djibouti to guard against any near-future bombings. The talks between NatruG and the homeowners are over, and they have decided to sell, allowing NatruG to have more access to natural gas and crude oil.


 * UIC Diplomacy: The Council and Caliph demands that the Eritrean government expel the officer to Yemen so that he may stand trial (very biased one) for his crimes.
 * Wu D: We wish to buy the plans of the new class of naval ships and for a co-operation in oil production and skills.

Russia: After years of absence, the Mil Moscow Helicopter Corporation is moved back to Russia. Troops in Turkey have moved a captured LAMS unit during the Middle Eastern War to the Uralvagonzadov plant to dismantle and research the anti-air laser. Construction of another Kirov-Class Battlecruiser, three more Kara-Class Cruisers, two more Slava-Class Cruisers, and eight more Udaloy-Class Destroyers have started. Another 800 T-80 tanks, 1500 T-72 tanks have been constructed. To reduce the upkeep of the military all T-55 tanks are sent to factories to be scrapped. 350 Mi-24D Hinds, ten Mi-26 Halos, and 100 Mi-28 Havocs have been assembled. We ask the United States and the Channel League for a trade agreement. More oil refineries have been constructed in the Caucasus Region, enhancing oil production. We upgrade our industry to 1.75.


 * Wu D: We ask Russia for a defense pact and trade agreement.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We decline on both terms.
 * United States Diplomacy: We accept.

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Tractors are used in farming and massive water projects begin in the Yangtze river. Food production grows by 10%. Cities are built and the population reaches 310 million. Increases its army score to 3. The first democratic elections are held in the capital: Nanking. The Phalanx gas received from the Commonwealth is researched and the scientists are still trying to replicate it with some success. Zombie labour is given up due to the tendency of Zombies eating the scientists. Asks Kalsang, the leader of the Federal Republic of Tibet and Dalai Lama, leader of the Buddhist Kingdom of Tibet for a meeting in Yunnan. Tanks begins to be constructed quickly in three main factories: Guanzhou, Wuhan and Xuzhou. 500 Qubin Tanks and 1200 Hanxin tanks are constructed. Outdated ships and tanks are sent to the scrapyard. The first Wu jet is built named J-11.

Falklands: We send a FSF task force to arrest Rafael Gallegos, and after he resists arrest, they shoot him dead, before being overwhelmed and massacred. The morale of our armed forces takes a hit due to this.

Chan Santa Cruz: On hearing of the scout's destruction army score is upgraded by 0.25. The annexation of the Yucatan Peninsular leaves a number of problems such as sanitation ond social security. To this aid we ask the ULN for a grant to improve the living conditions. Scouts are sent across the Gulf of Mexico to see if we could bypass the 'hotspot' and trade across the sea. We beam a radio transmission to the south US Gulf region detailing the fact that it is a scout trading mission and that we are coming to investigate a potential market, not invade.

United States: We sign a trade agreement with the Russian Federation, and on behalf of the Channel League. The Channel League headquarters in Brighton is completed, serving as an impressive skyscraper and icon over all of southern England. The new Brighton docks are revered as perhaps the largest and grandest in the world, housing hundreds of ships. The docks also boast an expansive fort system, turrets, artillery, shipyards, and dry docks. Smaller versions of this model are completed in the regional bases of Amsterdam and Brest, as well as the US base on Cyprus. The message is received from Chan Santa Cruz. We ask for a trade agreement with the nation, pledging to send humanitarian aid to improve the situation in southern Mexico.

1989.25
'The government of Eritrea hands over the officer who orchestrated the terrorist attack to the Yemeni government. The nation makes an apology to the nation of Yemen.'

'About 150,000 allied soldiers are prepared to invade Italy. The invasion commences with allied forces surrounding Rimini. In the west soldiers have also entered Tuscany, where they have encountered heavy resistance.'

'In Bosnia the democratic faction manages to obtain the upper hand after a long battle in the streets of Sarajevo. Fighting continues across the nation, especially in the south, where the Communists are entrenched. '

'After the death of the main general of the Bosnian Democrats, the forces of the Bosnian revolution are split politically. In Sarajevo rival political parties emerge, most notably the Civic Democratic Party, which advocates for isolation and limited military, and the National Democratic Party, which advocates for the creation of a pro-military society, stretching across Bosnia, Slovenia, and even Croatia. '

'Rafael Gallegos’ forces enter Georgetown. After a night of violent looting and racial killing, the government steps in and attempts to end the violence. Rafael Gallegos’ supporters protest outside the capital, as many continue the violence. '

Dinetah: Dinetah reluctantly accepts Painted Desert's border proposal, hoping to control Teec Nos Pos and the Dinetah Monument. Residents of Teec Nos Pos however are not happy about the law. Many stay in Teec Nos Pos and take control of the town in the name of Dinetah. One resident says: "My parents have lived here, and my grandparents, and they all salute the flag of Dinetah. I want to stay, yet I want to remain Dinetan. I want my children to learn about Haskie rather than Painted Desert founders. I feel torn between my land and my country." Dinetah assures Painted Desert that we ordered all Dinetan civilians to either gain Painted Desert citizenship or leave. Military is upgraded by 0.25. All Dinetan soldiers are ordered to leave Teec Nos Pos, yet most remain in defiance. They are mostly equipped with Dinetah's new weapons. A wall is constructed around the center of Teec Nos Pos by the rouge Dinetans, and all residents move inside transforming the sprawling community into a small, dense town. Meanwhile, the trailblazers reach Chihuahua and dig in, hoping to reach Durango soon.

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. 東方封魔録　～ The Story of Eastern Wonderland is released and gets excellent sales. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island.

Russia: After months of construction the fourth Kirov-Class Battlecruiser is complete and went down the slipway, the RFS Yuri Andropov. The fifth Kirov-Class Battlecruiser is still under construction and isn’t named as of now. Two more Kara-Class Cruisers, two Slava-Class Cruisers and seven Udaloy-Class Destroyers have been built, along with three Sovremenny-Class Destroyers. To increase ship production, dry-docks have started using building block methods. The keel of another Admiral Kuznetsov-Class Aircraft Carrier is laid down. A program is created for the Russian Navy to keep it simplified and more universal. The program is called Project: Kraken. By the end of 1995 the Russian navy is expected to have at least five Kirov-Class Battlecruisers, six Admiral Kuznetsov-Class Aircraft Carriers, seventy Sovremenny-Class Destroyers, twenty Slava-Class Destroyers, and ten Kara-Class Cruisers. Other ship classes not listed are still to remain in the Russian Navy until decommission. A new torpedo is being developed by Rubin Design Bureau called the Hawkfish Torpedo. However, the Hawkfish is not a conventional torpedo, instead of being propelled by a gas or electric engine, the Hawkfish uses rocket propulsion and is able of achieving Mach 1.5 underwater. Since the torpedo is 1.5 times faster than the speed of sound, it can strike its target without even knowing the torpedo is heading towards them. Mass production of these new torpedoes has started. Scientists at the KPB Instrument Design Bureau have finally found out how the Turkish LAMS and made blueprints of the Turkish model. Prototypes are being assembled for the Russian Navy and Army. Research of the new T-90 tank has started, and the construction of 700 more T-80s has finished. Most T-55 tanks have been scrapped as of now. About 80,000 troops have been recruited. Multiple oil rigs are being constructed in Mediterranean to harvest oil that the nation of Turkey has found years ago. Two new military satellites have been launched with the ability to jam radio signals and the ability to disrupt the launches of ICBMs and other nuclear missiles. The platform works by jamming the missile’s guidance system as soon as it leaves the ionosphere, when the guidance system is jammed the nuclear missile then continues moving through the Thermo and Exosphere and then continue to head out into deep space. With a trade agreement with the United States and the rest of the Channel League, the beginning of a new era with west and eastern co-operation has begun. Oil tankers soon leave the ports of the Caucasus, guarded by naval vessels to avoid being attacked by the rogue nation of the Kingdom of Italy arrive at the United States and the Channel League. Multiple ballistic missile submarines have been ordered to patrol the Mediterranean in case Italy starts attacking our oil tankers. We message Italy saying that if a single shot is fired at any of our civilian/military personnel or property, the might of our military will rain down upon you. Supplies are sent to Austria, Germany, Northern Italy, and Croatia to help pacify Italy. President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin begins planning the Victory Day Parade in Moscow. We upgrade our Industry to 2.0.


 * Russian Diplomacy: We ask to join the ISAF or make an application.

Commonwealth: Industry is upgraded by 0.25 points. Development, research and expansion all continue. No breakthroughs on the Malaysian soldiers yet.

South Africa: The Nation wakes up from its deep slumber. Developing internal policies and keeping the nation in isolationism to help it develop a national economy, the nation is ready to step back out into World Politics. The Navy is upgraded to 2.0, with new shipyards being constructed to help boost shipbuilding. A new generation of educated South Africans help to design new infrastructure projects and help develop new military designs. The World's Largest Reservior is opened to the nation with huge celebrations, and the irrigation networks in the north are completed. An unprecidented amount of water now flows through the nation to help crops grow and let jungles expand. With such a large number of children in the nation now, many childcare centres are opened to help struggling parents. The nation, after years of helping the Dutch, offer the Royal Family the chance to open a winter palace in South Africa. The nation also requests some diplomatic visits of the UR to catch up with their old ally (OOC, tell me what's happened so far Greg, LOL). A new campaign to encourage "Unity through Diversity" is started in schools to help encourage the sense of a united South Africa in children. The nation reports that almost 75% of its population follow Protestantism as a religion. With such a large population, the Council decides it is finally time to expand northward and clear out the Zombies. The Dutch gain more control in former Belgian areas and in their territories Dutch is implemented for everyday useage.

Texas: Texas sends humanitarian aid to Chan Santa Cruz. Meanwhile, President Bush finishes his tour of New Mexico. In California, Jeb's crew reach the southern borders of the Bay Republic. They ask to meet with the leaders of the Bay Republic.

Kingdom of Italy: Two new military programs go into effect. The first is called ZXM. ZXM is where the military takes a car with ten men and ten Zombies inside it. They take it to a camp. They deploy all the Zombies onto the men, and watch them all get contaminated. They kill all the Zombies and take ten for the next camp. The second one is Operation Hurricane. Operation Hurricane is where under the cover of man-made fog specially designed ships attack coastal cities. These two plans have made considerable gains. '''Will any nation please support us? We will give you a vassal in one of the aggressors (Secret).''' The ZXM program is suspended until further notice. For further understanding:http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/ZXM_Program_(Night_of_the_Living_Alternate_History_Map_Game)
 * Russian Diplomacy: Due to crimes against humanity an embargo will be placed on your nation. (Next Turn)
 * Kingdom Diplomacy: What are the crimes?
 * Russian Diplomacy: Forcefully feeding people to the infection. Keep in mind the embargo is not an act of war but deterrence.
 * Kingdom Diplomacy: That is NOT bad. They would die either way, and this is WAR. There is nothing that says that. Can you meet on chat to discuss this?
 * Russian Diplomacy: Have you ever heard of something called the Geneva Convention? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention Read Part I General Provisions.
 * Texas D: We join Russia in condemning Italy. You have overstepped your boundaries. You are bound to treat your POW's fairly, not leave them to die as Zombies. This is a crime, all right. All Texan troops are ordered to stop fighting for the Italians at all. They will be retreived as soon as possible. Furthermore, a trade embargo will be placed on Italy.
 * RoS Diplomacy: We agree with Texas and Russia, and plead for the Italians to stop the cruel and inhumane executions.  All military aid is halted, and fuel shipments are ended.  Foodstuff, wool and medication will be allowed, but distributed under RoS supervision to the citizens of Italy.
 * Wu D: Due to international pressure, Wu asks the Kingdom to halt their ZXM plan. However, Wu gives some shipments of artillery to KI.
 * Kingdom Diplomacy: The main misunderstanding is this does NOT happen to prisoners of war AND civilians. In fact it fits into the Geneva convention. It is suspended untill further notice.
 * Russian Diplomacy: What your nation is doing is probably worse than what the Nazi's did to the Jewish in the Holocaust. What your nation is, is a spec of growing fascism on the Earth, and our government intends to end in a peaceful manner. Furthermore suspending your harsh treatment of people won't lift the embargo. Remember, you did this to yourself. If you would like to negotiate on the list of the embargo please put another diplomacy post below and we'll discuss on the talk page.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Any nation in the United League of Nations should agree or disagree for kicking the Kingdom of Italy out of the ULN. Voting is over here: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/United_League_of_Nations_(Night_of_the_Living_Alternate_History_Map_Game)#Resolution_006

'''Also I read your thing on how ZXM works. That is considered mutilation and in a way, biological warfare.'''
 * Chan Santa Cruz: How could you? This is not a good first impression. Humans. We are human. We will not forget. We will not forgive. You have been Judged. Akhushtal has birthed Bolon Yookte' K'uh. Venus is rising. Your fate is sealed.

Scandanavia: We continue our efforts to grow our military, and our industry grows by 0.25. We continue to incite war with Croatia in Bosnia, hoping to convince them that Croatia is their enemy. Meanwhile, a second look at the terror incident, this time by an Imperial Commission, has shown that Italy was behind the attacks. Citing Article II of the Pact of Diamond Charter,  Scandinavia declares the Pact null and void . Our troops withdraw from Italy, and instead focus on other things, like liberating Greenland.


 * Kingdom of Italy: How could you do this?

Republic of Susquehanna: The republic offers the rebels a ceasefire. It is denied. More troops are readied, and airstrikes are launched in preparation. Some progress is made as the troops capture the rest of Lycoming County. It is discovered that a battalion of Turkish troops are aiding the rebels. This infuriates the government, who declare the Second Pennsylvania Civil War.



Northern California: Prime Minister Manuel Perez met with a childhood friend, the ex-Communist turned Zombiologist Alfred Brown. An idea came to him about the so-called Zombie labour for basic physical activities with little progress, in an effort to increase manpower. The National Labour Congress was founded to support it. Meanwihle, a novel entitled El Noche del Triste (A Night of Misery) was written by Antonio Perez, a vicitm of human rights violations during the two dictatorships. The novel talks about the hardships of the author during the despotic regimes in Northern California. It was later made into a movie, scheduled to be released in May 1989.
 * Texas D: We will send as many troops and supplies as the republic needs.

Cascadia: The military is expanded as New Spokane takes off officially. Entrances are constructed around the city. The entrances, formerly ramshackle guard towers against the undead, begin renovation. Cascadia accepts Northern California's show of good will and reopens the interstates for trade.

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Tractors are used in farming and massive water projects begin in the Yangtze river. Cities are built and the population reaches 320 million. Increases its navy score to 1.25. The capital is changed to Beijing to stabilize the Northern border, particularly against the Mongolians. The Phalanx gas received from the Commonwealth is researched and the scientists are still trying to replicate it with some success. The Dalai Lhama and Kalsang is kidnapped in the meeting and both nations in Tibet is asked to surrender. 20 Planes fly over Qamdo, Shannan, Lhasa and Ali, dropping flyers saying "Join the Great Republic of Wu!" "Celebrate for your freedom and democracy of Wu!" "You will be liberated quickly!" and "Be liberated or be crushed by the Great Republic of Wu!". The 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th infantry regiments are deployed along the Chinese-Tibet border. The 1st Armoured division and the 4th and 5th Artillery are also deployed. '''Can the mods choose if the Tibetans surrender or not? ''' Tanks continues to be constructed quickly in three main factories: Guanzhou, Wuhan and Xuzhou. 500 Qubin Tanks and 1200 Hanxin tanks are constructed. Asks USA, Italy and Japan to send supplies for the war.

Austria: Austria sends more troops to help its allies but the main thing Austria does this year is to expand southward into Slovenia (How much can I expand each turn?).

Well, how far do you think people would travel in three months depending on their main type of transportation?

Chan Santa Cruz: We agree to trade with the US and thank them for their aid pledge. Upon hearing of the Kingdom of Italy and their warfare (news like that spreads), the nation vows that it shall make no move other than hostile towards the country unless the government is overthrown. Industry is upgraded by 0.25.

United Islamic Caliphate: The Eritrean officers trial takes less than ten days. He is summarally sentenced to life in prison, and is moved to a small facility in the middle of the desert, where all life prisoners go. At the facility, they constantly work to build small arms, and some vehicle parts for military vehicles, but they are also given three meals a day, regular sleep hours, etc. The development of the Medinian-class Light Destroyer continues, and a design flaw with the bow that would make it dip far too much in open water is discovered and fixed before the prototype got too far to where it would very expensive to change the designs. The council accepts the government of Wu's offer to buy the design plans for the Medinian-class Light Destroyer, and also accepts the offer for oil and gas co-operation.

1989.50
' Bosnia is unified as a democratic nation, with the last of the Communist armies being captured. In the south violence is common, and rogue Communist fighters continue to harass the new government. Politically the new nation becomes torn between the Civic Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party. '

'Austrian settlers enter Slovenia, settling around the city of Maribor. The settlers, largely nationalist poor-class individuals, manage to create a thriving community within the city. Küsteland becomes a massive talking point between liberals and progressive-nationalists. The nation’s liberals become largely opposed to the settlement.'

'Ethnic clashes occur between the Austrians and native Slovenians in the south. Croatia, which also has shown interest in the region in the past, favors its ally, Austria. This heavily angers the Bosnian government in Sarajevo, which also holds claims to the region. The National Democratic Party, which is largely becoming the lead party in Sarajevo uses the incident to rally support for its ideals.'

'The hostilities in Slovenian become known as the Slovenian Crisis. The current parties in the crisis are Croatia, Austria, and indirectly the allied powers, against Bosnian, which is supported by Scandinavia and Italy. Many fear that if the crisis is not resolved diplomatically it will descend into war, or another theater in the Italian War.'

'After hostilities from the Dinetah settlers increase in Arizona, the nation of Painted Desert asks to meet with Dinetah a second time. Seeing that the two nations are culturally and economically similar, the government of Painted Desert proposes that the two nations join in union, with Painted Desert annexing Dinetah. The new nation will be known as Dinetah, and continue to be governed by the president of the Navajo nation. (The Dinetah player will play as this new nation).'

'The UR is officially pushed from Guyana. Georgetown, after weeks of clashes between the rebels, government, and UR settlers, is finally secured. The rebel forces cross into the border to help aid similar campaigns in neighboring regions.'

'An attempt by the Italian government to publish Anti-Lombard propaganda fails miserably when a disgruntled government employee leaks information exposing it as false. Outrage at the Italian government's lies spreads not only through Italy, but the world.'

Kingdom of Italy: Spys in Lombardy uncover four terrible and inhuman things. 1: Slavery of all non-Lombardy native people. 2: Executions of 50% of all prisoners of war. 3: Drafting of people as young as ten to the army. 4: Executions of all that fail to follow the draft. Operation Hurricane has been able to capture five coastal cities. Back home, the Isolationist-Unifactionist party takes the helm. The platform is: 1: Italy must be self sufficient by 1998. The Kingdom would only trade for cash then. 2: All the world's Italian speakers and very culturally similar people will be united.''' The Kingdom proposes peace with the Venitans. For more info click here. (Page coming soon).'''

'''No, just no. You can't say something about a nation that you don't like because you're mad since you broke the Geneva Convention. Also, no algorithm was made for these "Five Cities".'''

'''Spies did report it, no stopping that. What are the five cities?'''

'''Well, you can't just say something about a nation that's false just like that because you're mad. Also, how am I supposed to know the names of these five cities? You said them in your turn. Please be more specific when saying this type of stuff. Like, list the cities you falsely captured.'''

'''You can't control the nation of Lombardy. It's one thing to make up propaganda or something, but you can't force a NPC to do something. Also you need an algorithm.'''

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. Meanwhile, a new genre of music called is created. Tatsunori Katsumata begins working on the third Touhou Project game, 東方夢時空　～ Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island. Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone sends military support and supplies to help Wu in their wars.

East Africa: The government takes the city of Dodoma, and begins the process of cleansing it of Zombies and rebels forces. The military recruits 350 hopefuls into the military after taking the city, and the first armored vehicles roll off the line in the freshly renovated factories of Dar es Salaam. The industrial base in expanded from 0.75 to 1.00.

Commonwealth: It is confirmed by researchers that a toxic filler chemical in Phlaxicortin-X was the cause of the cancerous tumors in the Malaysian soldiers. The government-owned producer is told to discontinue use of the chemical. All buyers of Phlaxicortin-X are told to send back their Phlaxicortin-X in exchange for the non-toxic Phlaxicortin-X. EDM is created by a dubstep artist taking the sounds of dubstep and mixing them in a different way. Some say that a cold war between us and Japan has begun in the music industry, all jokingly.


 * Dinetah D: Dinetah sends back its Phalaxicortin-X.

Russia: An embargo is placed on the Kingdom of Italy. Two Kirov-Class Battlecruisers, three Kara-Class Cruisers, three Slava-Class Cruisers, one Kiev-Class Helicopter Carrier, and ten Udaloy-Class Destroyers are the main visual blockade force that now patrol the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea; all ships are ordered to be at least 50 miles away from Italy’s borders. However, twelve Kilo-Class Submarines patrol submerged. If a submarine spots a merchant vessel the sonar pings three times, after that two more times. If the merchant doesn’t turn around, a helicopter crew from the nearest ship will arrive, board the ship and forcefully turn it around. Because of Italy’s naval tactics of boarding, a minimum of at least four LRADs and eight .50 Caliber machine guns are to be placed on each ship exterior, radar and sonar have to be active at all times in case SCUBA divers or paratrooper teams attempt to board our ships. With all these defenses, boarding a ship is virtually impossible. All submarines of the Russian Navy are now equipped with the new Hawkfish torpedo. We ask the United States if our navy that is currently enacting the embargo can dock and re-arm at the naval base in Cyprus. One of our new satellites has also been re-positioned over Italy, and has started to jam all radio signals within the corrupt nation, forcing the nation to use land line communications. Research for the new T-90 tank has finished and has started to be mass produced. About 450 T-90 tanks have been produced as of now, with 1,200 T-80s also built. All T-80 tanks are now required to upgrade to the T-80U variant. This large upgrade should to all T-80 tanks shall finish in six months. Ship builders have finished and constructed about four Slava-Class Cruisers, three Kara-Class Cruisers, eight Sovremenny-Class Destroyers, one Typhoon-Class Submarine, and the newest Kirov-Class Battlecruiser of the Russian Navy, the RFS Aksel Berg has been built. To help enforce the embargo on the Kingdom of Italy about seven more Tarantul-Class Corvettes are built. Approximately 60,000 people got recruited into the Russian Armed Forces. An operation, known as Operation: Blockbreaker is currently in effect to reunite Russia with Socialist Siberia in a peaceful and non-military manner. Since Socialist Siberia depends on the Caucasus for virtually all of their oil and some of our farmland for food, we’ve decided to halt nearly all exports entering it. General goods are still allowed to enter through. After the fourth week hundreds of refugees come running to the border and get brought back to Russia. New towns are being constructed to house these new refugees, opening many jobs for them in construction. Food and oil is then sent back to Socialist Siberia. The main objective for Operation: Blockbreaker is to basically gain the trust of the people of Socialist Siberia. Even though Socialist Siberia has an approximate population of 20,000,000 (Includes other states such Kazakhstan and Tajikistan), and has a really small military, the best way to properly retrieve Siberia and its states is by peaceful ways using the media. In the next week the President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin made a speech at the Red Square during the May 6th Victory Day Parade in Moscow that was played on international television. Speech: “People of Russia, and Siberia, we stand away from each other, divided, separated by the opinions of two groups. A great man once said a quote, and that great man was Aesop, ‘United we Stand, Divided we Fall’. That great man was a slave that lived in Ancient Greece. If we are to remain as a superpower we must remain united as one. An example of a once great nation that was destroyed due to civil war was the Ottoman Empire which ruled millions of square kilometers. If we are to remain divided, the legacy of our great nation will be nothing but a footnote in history that will later be forgotten. United, together we can effectively stand up to our oppressors. Socialism is a great way of giving power to the middle and lower class but if you join us the people of Russia will be able to self-actualize and live up to their true potential.” The broadcast then ends there. Within weeks the influence of capitalism spreads like a wildfire through towns within 100 km of the Russian-Siberian border. However, the Victory Day Parade went smoothly with the first new T-90 tanks able to arrive, at least three million Muscovites flooded the Red Square to attend it. We upgrade our Army Score to 2.25. '''The nation of "Socialist Siberia" does not exist. That is a nation from 1983: Doomsday. It's also unlikely that you would name a ship after Lenin since you're not a Communist nation.'''
 * United States: We will allow Russian ships to dock at Cyprus.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We thank the Americans for their co-operation.
 * RoS Diplomacy: We would like Russia to join the ISAF
 * Russian Diplomacy: An application to join the ISAF was made a while ago.

OK, I will change it to the RFS Aksel Berg.

Dinetah: Dinetah graciously accepts Painted Desert's annexation proposal. Many people rejoice in the streets. Dinetah adopts Painted Desert's flag, and the Council shall be located in Window Rock, its historic location. However, Farmington remains the de jure capital, and Dinetah plans to reform its government to make it more modern. For now, only the new president lives and works in Farmington. Eric Dele of the Nationalist Party is sworn in as President. He begins touring various states in the Southwest to break down the stereotype that Nationalists are xenophobic and ignorant. He first tours all of the New Mexican city-states, then he tours Texas, where he ends up shaking hands with Texas' new president, George Bush. He states to Bush: "I only have intentions to promote friendly relations between our people." He plans to later tour Las Vegas, but will only travel in an armed caravan, due to the high amount of raiders between Dinetah and Vegas. Many Navajo Tribal party members are elected into office, displacing the Conservatives even more. A regular military is created, and the lion's share is stationed inside Fort Gallup, a new fort built near the ruins of Gallup. Workers begin work on a fort near the ruins of Silver City. After a long time, explorers finally make contact with Chan Santa Cruz. They are expected to return via ship. We ask Texas to receive the explorers and allow them to travel back to Dinetah.


 * Texas D: We will be sure to do so.

Texas receives Dele with honor. President Bush states that he hopes that Painted Desert and Dinetah's unification becomes a 'stepping stone that leads to greater prosperity and unity within the region'. Bush promises that Texas will pursue closer relations with all in the Southwest League. The Know-Nothing Party has a slight resurgence until the leadership of Wieland Norris, brother of Texan actor Chuck Norris. Meanwhile, the explorers led by Jeb Bush finally reach Eureka. They march to the doors of the capital and request a meeting with Northern California's leaders. From what they can tell, the two nations share a similar history, and they are interested by stories about a man named Ronald Reagan. In Italy, the last of Texan troops are sent home. Bush encourages the Italians to cease their attack, telling them that only bad things will happen if they continue.

Chan Santa Cruz Diplomacy: We accept your alliance proposal from a few years back.

United Islamic Caliphate: A substantial amount of time after the Middle-East War, the council members who held up voting through debate and extremely-loose interpretations finally end their hostilities toward joining the ''United League of Nations. After a quick vote taking three days due to the availability of three councilmen, the Council votes in a 101-34 split to join the United League of Nations, ''if they are accepted by the organization. The prototype is nearly finished for the first Medinian-class Light Destroyer, with all that needing to be finished is the naval gun emplacements, which should take up to three months, but once the prototype is built and tested, the method of creation will become much faster. As'ad Nejem, having been quiet for a few years and doing his job as the first Amir Ul-Umara (Most high level government positions are for life or resignation.), begins to advocate for expansion of the Caliphate, but is very vague. This vagueness makes both the Council and Caliph worried about a possible incident between the revolutionary war hero and the government.

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Tractors are used in farming and massive water projects begin in the Yangtze river. Cities are built and the population reaches 4000 million. Increases its navy score to 1.5. The Phalanx gas received from the Commonwealth is researched and finally replicated. With no reply from Tibet, 200,000 soldiers, 500 airplanes, 2000 tanks attacks Tibet.  Tanks continues to be constructed quickly in three main factories: Guanzhou, Wuhan and Xuzhou. Asks USA, Italy and Japan to send supplies for the war. Ask for an alliance with the UIC.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone sends military support to help Wu in their war against Tibet.

'''Don't you mean 400 million? Doctor Evulz (talk)'''

Chan Santa Cruz: The Dinetah exploration party is greeted with the best the nation has to offer by ways of a clean, comfortable bed, hot shower, new clothes and supplies etc. We hold a large feast in their honour. National Unity is worked upon. The humanitarian aid is used to upgrade schools and the road network. The University of Yucatan is opened in Merida, dedicated to the nation of Dinetah.

Republic of Susquehanna: The war continues with more focus on eliminating the enemy leadership and seigeing them out. No territory changes hands, and more trenches are dug. The air force firebombs the enemy crops and food caches.  The Navy is deployed to aid Russia with the blockade.

United Republics: Complete the lunar base with Japanese, and many other nations assistance. Plans are drawn up to have all major metro areas completely self suffiencient in over the next decade. Space focus switches to the space station and conducting experiments on the moon. UR settlers who have been displaced from Guiana are invited to resettle in areas such as Santa Cruz and Paraguay, although all are welcome. Relations increase with Portugal, Granada, and the isles of Corsica and Sicily.

Scanidnavia grows its military by 0.25. We support Bosnia, and even begin to hope to establish them as a vassal. We support their National Democratic Party, and also their claim to Slovenia. We propose to split Slovenia with half of it going to Austria and half of it going to Bosnia.

1989.75
'Northern Californian settlers in the Lake Tahoe region rediscover the destroyed outpost. Locals tell tales to the settlers of the war between Deseret and the Bay Republic, and how the Bay Republic razed the original Lake Tahoe settlement. Intrigued by the story, many settlers become interested in establishing ties with Deseret. '

'The nation of Dinetah is established from the former nations of Painted Desert, and the republic of the same name. The nation becomes largely governed by Navajo and Caucasian citizens, with Hopi, Ute, Zuni, and Mexican inhabitants as a minority.'

'With the attempts to cover up the terrorist attack conspiracies by the Italian government failing, the government begins to utilize propaganda to convince locals, rounding up and executing those who oppose the government. '

'With Georgetown in the hands of the Guyanan rebels, the government is reformed. New laws push the last of the UR citizens out of the nation, while many leave voluntarily to avoid violence. The nation of Guyana also branches out to its neighboring nations to permanently remove the UR from the region. '

'With hostilities over the horizon between Wu and Tibet, the nation of Tibet makes a plea with the Chinese for vassalage instead of annexation. Some Tibetan students and revolutionaries take to Tiananmen Square in peaceful protest. '

'With neither side of the crisis coming to an agreement, the Slovenian Crisis escalates into violence. The Bosnian army is ordered into southern Croatia, where they make some territorial advances before meeting resistance from the Croatian defense force. '

'In Slovenia the Austrian population falls back to Maribor, as violence erupts across the region. With no clear supply route from Italy or Bosnia, the Bosnian and rebel Slovenians in gthe region prepare to make their last stand. Bosnia joins the Italian War, asking for aid from the Italians. '

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop, Electro and Techno continue to rise in popularity. Meanwhile, a new genre of music called Trance is created. Tatsunori Katsumata continues working on the third Touhou Project game, 東方夢時空　～ Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. Sega continues creating their next console. The Republic of Kyushu continues to rebuild the island. Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone continues to military support and supplies to help Wu in their war against Tibet.

Kingdom of Italy: The Kingdom officially votes to outlaw execution in their constitution just like the Republic invented by Garibaldi, the Roman Republic. An MP is arrested in his Tuscan home on charges of conspiracy with the Venetians and execution of the ZXM program when it never was approved. The MP has also been charged with the assassination of the defense minister. It was found that he was mustering a coup to create a Venetian Vassal. We ask that the Treaty of Naples is signed. '''Von, you have the power to stop this and maybe you can focus on Slovenia. '''We send money to Bosnia. Wu, we will send a detachment of the Praetorian Guard when our war is done. We ask for military aid and people to trust us even though what we have gone through to stop the bloodshed. One million troops have just finished their basic training in Aosta and are deployed in Lombardy. '''Can I have a mod response on Operation Hurricane? (The program I launched with the ZXM program).'''

'''That is a ridiculous amount of troops that have been recruited. Pick a much smaller number like 65,000 to 125,000. Your population is probably around twenty million after the infection claimed most of your land in the early stages of the game. Please check your grammar, no offense, but it's like reading an essay from a first grader. Also, keep in mind about you said about the ZXM program. That is false and is considered propaganda and people will most likely not fall for it.'''

Dude, I am just trying to save myself after the big hating of the ZXM program.

'''Well, that's your problem to deal with - not mine. I didn't break the Geneva Convention in my turns. Personally, what I do when I make a turn is to type it all out in Microsoft Word and re-read it. I then check for errors and then see what would be the most plausible consequences for my actions in that turn based on real life and game events.'''

Commonwealth: The soldiers that were being held in the Cureplex are sent home and Malaysia is sent a 250 million dollar grant as an apology. The proper version of Phlaxicortin-X is sent out to all buyers. Development and expansion continue.
 * Venice, on behalf of the Allies: Declines the treaty, citing it as nonsensical and idiotic. (Also you used Roman numerals incorrectly.)

Russia: With the Kingdom of Italy under a strict embargo, oil in the nation is expected to run out in approximately six to nine months; since no major oil sources are located within the nation and since Italy barely produced any oil in the first place. Tolls of oil shortages have already been seen by various military satellites overlooking the dying nation. All signals of radio communication within the Kingdom of Italy and its allies are still jammed by the digital shadow of our new satellites. Any nation supporting the Kingdom of Italy in Europe will now be placed under the embargo, which is now known as the Embargo of Jupiter. Supplies are sent to the Austrian Armed Forces and its allies trying to pacify Italy. In case military intervention is required an operation has been created called Operation: Nero, and is still being planned in its major details. However, we hope we won’t have to invade the Kingdom of Italy and their allies, and by the time if this operation does get launched Italy would’ve already run out of natural gas. We are asking any nation in the region and other local powers (Republic of Susquehanna, Texas, United States, etc…) if they’re willing to send troops and/or supplies if Operation: Nero has to be launched. However, your aid can be declined if your nation does not seem trusted. Another three Sovremenny-Class Destroyers and one Slava-Class Cruiser have been assigned the duty of patrolling the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea. Naval forces are still being expanded, about nine more Sovremenny-Class Destroyers, three Slava-Class Cruisers, four Kara-Class Cruisers, six Kilo-Class Submarines, three Oscar-Class Submarines, two Typhoon-Class Submarines and the newest Admiral Koznetsov-Class Aircraft Carrier, the RFS Riga has been constructed. Approximately 75,000 people have been recruited into the Russian Armed Forces. Factories have started focusing on producing the new T-90 at a faster rate by cancelling production of all T-80s and T-72s, about 750 T-90s have been built. A new revolutionary anti-ship missile has been created by MKB Raduga named the SS-N-35 Swarmer. The reason that makes it so revolutionary is its ability to carry twelve warheads in a MIRV configuration, with each warhead able to pierce and devastate more than 36 inches of composite steel. There are three stages of this new cruise missile; the first stage is the separation, when the missile is approximately 500 meters away from its target, the missile will split apart and unleash the swarm of warheads inside. Once the warheads are released, the second stage begins, in the second stage all of the warheads pierce into the ship(s) hull. The third stage starts when all warheads have made contact with its target, a piston then drives a special squash-head charge into the armor of the ship all simultaneously. When the squash head charges explode it will generate a shockwave through the superstructure of the ship and pierce the armor creating a massive explosion. By the end of the year all naval ships and guided missile submarines will be equipped with the new Swarmer cruise missile. Variants for ground attack are also being researched. Scientists at the KPB Instrument Design Bureau have made a working prototype based off the Turkish LAMS. This new anti-air laser is called the Laser Projector System, or LaPS for short. A chassis for a mobile version of the LaPS has been created using a custom hull from the main body of the 9K22 Tunguska. The new mobile chassis is called the 9K49 Tesla. Mass production of this new air defense vehicle will begin in the next three months.
 * Texas is willing to participate in Operation Nero.

Northern California: The movie based on the novel El Noche del Triste (A Night of Misery), released under the same name, was a blockbuster in the country. Plans are made to show the movie in Cascadian theaters. Meanwhile, the CUAZEF continues expansion in the desert region of California, and extends the southernmost border of the Desert Republic to the 36th parallel north. An isolated outbreak occurred in a sector of the resettlement area in South Lake Tahoe, possibly caused by an infiltration of the containment area. The outbreak nearly jeopardized settlement in the region, and intensified survivor insurgency in the area. We also like to intervene on the situation in Salton, to secure interests in the Desert area. Sorry about my sparse post, first day of school begins soon.
 * Explorers from Texas wish to meet with the leadership of Northern California.
 * President Ronald Reagan of Northern California invites the Texan explorers and granted them a nationwide tour. Also asks the explorers if they have any idea of North Californian war criminals seeking asylum in their homeland.

Dinetah: Expands west and south, expands military, Eric Satie was captured by raiders on his trip to Vegas. Our military heads west to hunt for him. The explorers return home, and Fort Apache (In the Gila National Forest) begins. Sorry about my sparse post, finals are today and tomorrow.
 * Reports said that a North Californian patrol guard allegedly spotted Satie in the outskirts of Las Vegas.

Texas gives an ultimatum to Italy: '''Stop your attacks now. This war has continued meaninglessly. If you do not end this yourself, we will be forces to intervene.''' We join the embargo of Jupiter. We also criticize their attempts at a peace treaty, reminding them that they are losing the war. The exploration party in Eureka still await a response. Meanwhile, relations with the Southwest League is brought up even further, with Texan ambassadors sent to the new country of Dinetah. Industry is built up by 0.25. George Bush retains an approval rating of around 63% since the beginning of his term. Embassies are planned for all nations in the Southwest League, Chan Santa Cruz, Russia, the United States, and Susquehanna, should those nations approve.

Wu: Army builds up and modernizes. Population reaches 430 million. Increases its navy score to 1.75. To test the capabilities of the Phalanx gas, 100 liters of it is put on a bomber. Then, the Phalanx Gas is sprayed similar to how people sprayed pesticides over the Zombie-filled area of Yangquan. After a week, when the Wu army enters the city, they saw thousands of Zombies immobile and decomposing on the spot. Dilapidated bodies and fallen limbs are seen while the Zombies rotted. This inspired the scientists do make a weapon that can cause Zombies to rot quickly. 20,000 soldiers died in the battle of Qamdo, but Qamdo is secured. After dispatching 30,000 soldiers to stabilize Qamdo, the remaining 150,000-man army marches onto Lhasa, where 60,000 Tibetan soldiers and 10,000 militia men are taking their final stand. 500,000 soldiers are raised and trained to prepare for the invasion of Manchuria. Disagrees with Tibet's plans for vassalization, strengthening the point that annexation can make the people of both nations happy. Asks the Tibetan students to leave Tiananmen Square and ask them what is their purpose for the protest. Tanks continues to be constructed quickly in three main factories: Guanzhou, Wuhan and Xuzhou. Asks USA, Italy and Japan to send supplies for the war. Ask for an alliance with the UIC again. Ask KI to negotiate and remain status quo with Lombardy as soon as possible, using Turkey as an example.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We allow the construction of an embassy and please do not attack the Kingdom of Italy unless Operation: Nero begins.
 * Texas D: As we said, we're backing Operation Nero.
 * Kingdom Diplomacy: The kingdom has offered peace in the Treaty of Naples but it was not accepted. The kingdom wants peace. Their treaty was the best thing ever. Texas, support us we can trade.
 * Texas D: You've planned out biological warfare and only rescinded it after it became unpopular. You may say you never approved ZXM, but it's obvious it was approved until it became controversial. Texas cannot and will not support a nation that fakes terrorist attacks, uses blatant propaganda as 'evidence' for their cause, and seriously considers biological warfare. You are losing this war and that 'treaty' still gives you greater control. The maximum you could ask for is a return to the status quo. Texas may one day ally with Italy, but that will need a major regime change.

New Romania: Romania has had its name changed to new Romania after the apocoplypse. (Consider this a thing that had always happened as it sounds nice.) Romania focuses on using the most of its land by making lots of food and mining rescorces. New Romania will also be using the most of the Oil fields to the Western parts  of the country. Romania is building up an exploration and military force to tackle the infected zones of once know Moldova. The attack will be an organised and well thought out navigated plan to commence when the country has enough power. New Romania will also like to open trade agreements with any nation. As Romania has Istanbul, these trades should be alot easier. We are looking for countries who have lots of industry and mining. For the war, I would like to ask if Ukrain will aid or even help attack in the war. I will come to an agreement that the northern bit can be under Ukrainian rule. As Ukrain is a NPC, can the moderators give the call in the end of the turn.
