Backstory
On 6 August, 2045 the world changed forever...

At the height of Indo-Pak tensions concerning the region of Kashmir, a comet sailed across the starry, night sky. Mistaking the comet for a nuclear attack, an exhausted and panicked Pak officer ordered nuclear weapons to be fired at major Indian cities. Indian submarines in the Arabian Sea retaliated instinctively, targeting Pakistan from the coast. Soon afterwards, China responded with their own attacks, then the United States, then North Korea, then South Korea, then Russia, and within two hours, almost the entire world had been devastated by nuclear weapons.

The United States collapsed entirely. Canada, which had recently achieved superpower status through an increased focus on industry and military, invaded their neighbor through the north. Mexico, under the leadership of a cartel government, launched their own invasion through the south, hoping to drive the Canadians back, and dominate two-thirds of the continent. As of 2048, Canada controls the entire Northern United States from Northern California, to Ohio, while Mexico controls the entire Southern United States from Southern California, to North Carolina, with the Eastern Seaboard remaining largely untouched. All is not lost for the former USA however, as a loosely connected group of freedom fighters scattered across the country have started the Minutemen, a resistance group opposing both Mexican and Canadian occupation and seeking to restore as much of the former American democracy as possible. The group's headquarters are located in the ruins of Washington D.C, but members and loyalists have a presence in almost every former state.

The European Union collapsed entirely, with its former member states nearly duking out for war. It has especially grown out of control in the Balkans, where constant war, shootings, and bombings become common. Along with Germany, fascist parties and government are beginning to grow in other countries. However, all is not lost. France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy have formed the European Entene, a military and economic pact to protect against the threat of fascism. However, it is unlikely to expand, due to strained relations with its border nations.

In Russia, the government managed to escape into the metro tunnels below Moscow, with the President and many officials surviving. However, the Motherland had paid a price for the exchange. The North Caucasus District (Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Stavropol Krai, and North Ossetia-Alania) reformed the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus of 1917-1920, while Siberia formed the Republic of Siberia, leaving only the Central District, Southern District, the Ural District, the Northwest District, and the Volga District loyal to Moscow and the Russian Federation. The President and his cabinet are faced with a crossroads: Allow the regions to secede and possibly face economic ruin or wage a costly war. Meanwhile, an internal power struggle is blooming between the Capitalist government and Communist hardliners.

The once great nation of China is also divided, leaving opportunity for foreign invaders. The power-hungry, and insane military leader of Mongolia Daichin Khan, believing himself to be a reincarnation of Genghis Khan, has reorganized his largely unaffected country into the New Mongol Empire, and has begun a rampage across Northern China, battling the last remnants of the People's Liberation Army. Meanwhile, the Republic of China (Taiwan) has attacked the Chinese mainland from the South, vying against the Mongols for control of their former country. As in North America, a three-way war has commenced. A new evil has risen out of the rubble of Western Europe. During the exchange, the Public Health England headquarters were hit, and samples of a mutagen were unleashed into London. Enhanced by the radiation, the mutagen transforms any human it comes in contact with into a horrific beast. The beasts lose their minds, and quickly believe themselves to be the next step in human evolution, forming enclaves that attack survivors. As the U.K government dissolved shortly after the attacks, the Greater London city-state leadership desperately attempts to control the outbreak with no support.

The dead and unwanted have returned to life. A neo-Nazi faction has been formed in Saxony, 100 years after the death of Adolf Hitler and the old Nazi Party. The group has called themselves the Deutsches Reich or German Reich/The Fourth Reich. It is reported that the faction has killed innocent Muslims, Jews, and Slavs; but their existence is still less known, even by Germans. Bavaria has formed, assisted by the surviving nations of Austria and Switzerland. The remnants of the German government, Germany Provisional Govermment exist in Westphalia, working to revive a democratic Germany. The chancellor is reported to have been exiled to Switzerland or Austria. The rest of Germany is filled by various groups, which still identified themselves as German citizens. These groups don't have any contacts with either government or other factions and don't have an intention to form a new government.

Pakistan and India themselves have been annihilated by each other's nuclear weapons, with extremely severe damage to infrastructure and population centers. 6 August, 2045 was the day about 1/7 of the world's population died. Anarchy reigns in the Indian subcontinent, but that is about to change with the imminent expansion of neighbouring nations into the former enemies. The Kingdom of Bengal is poised to bring stability over the unaffected regions of Eastern India, while the Sixth Persian Empire seeks to expand east into former Pakistan. Other minor nations towards the north consider this move, but wait for the right time to strike.

On 6 August, 2045 the world changed forever. Nations fell, and kingdoms rose. Heroes died, and villains were born. All because of one little comet now remembered as: Oppenheimer's Comet.

Season 2
In 2065, a changed world faces more upheaval still...

The defeat of the mutant threat has ostensibly ushered in a new era of peace and human unity. With the destruction of the mutant stronghold in the Maldives, this common enemy of sentient life was seemingly a blessing in disguise, uniting most major powers under one goal. It has become increasingly clear however, that this peace was never meant to continue indefinitely. In Africa, the Nile River Union, a federation between Egypt, Libya, and the Sudan has tightened their monopoly on the Nile River. Having purified the River using old, Chinese technology, the NRU has squeezed neighboring Ethiopia for fresh water access, sparking speculation they may invade their fellow African nation.

Imperialism is not however restricted to Africa. With the final remnants of the Maoist Chinese wiped out, the Mongol Empire and Republic of China have entered their endgame for mainland domination. The region of Tibet is considered to be a deciding factor in the war, with both sides hoping for an alliance with the increasingly independent state.

On 6 August, 2045 the world changed forever. Nations fell, and kingdoms rose. Heroes died, and villains were born. All because of one little comet now remembered as: Oppenheimer's Comet.

2062

 * Flag of Indonesia.png Federation of Indonesia: As an already rising power in the years before the nuclear devastation of most of the rest of the world's major powers, Indonesia sits alone as an untouched region saved from global warming by a nuclear winter, which while harmed harvests in the half decade following the nuclear exchange, has since stabilised the Indonesian agricultural industry. As such, Indonesia prepares to enter the world stage as not just a great power, but the world's next superpower. The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sends Malaysia, the Philippines, and Oceania an offer to join the Pacific Union - a subsidised economic and military union in which Indonesia (with some amount of support from other members) will support the economic and military endeavours of member nations [Mod/Oceanic Response Needed]. As a long-standing force in the opposition to communist governments, Indonesia stands firmly behind the Republic of China in its endeavours, and with its recent defeat of the People's Republic of China, requests a special military relationship with the Chinese Republic - that which refers to an alliance as well as bi-yearly naval and land military exercises - to oppose more notorious forms of communism in the region, such as the Communist Junta that runs Japan [Mod Response Needed]. If passed, Indonesia is prepared to send military assistance to China in regards to their war in Mongolia, as well as provide arms and food supplies. In secret, we prepare to send arms to the Shin Teikoku for the restoration of the Japanese Republic and the values for which it stands should it agree [Mod Response Needed].
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: We are glad to join the Pacific Union and contribute to mutual economic activity and to stand as a bulwark against the spread of the murderous ideology of Communism.
 * Mod response: Malaysia and the Philippines wholeheartedly agree to join the Union. The ROC accepts the alliance.
 * Shin Teikoku: We wholeheartedly accept this proposal.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceania: Fresh elections have been called and a new government of technocratic leaders is formed, this time led by economists and scientists, an act seen as a public turn against the political scientists and philosophers of the previous government. In accordance with this shift in public attitude, funding is diverted from the already over-saturated military complex to the Oceanian Space Agency (OSA). This shift in policy priorities is announced in conjunction with the launch of Oceania's first space station, a culmination of nearly a decade's work. [Secret] A partnership between the Joint Space Command (JMC) and OSA, the space station has a military wing used for military experiments in space. Additionally, on board autonomous orbital probes are deployed across orbit with the objective of seizing control of abandoned pre-Comet satellites to be used in Oceania's public and government communications networks. Spy satellites are also targets of the probes. [/Secret] The Oceanian-controlled Maldives is finally put to good use with plans to construct a new OSA launch site on the now-barren islands. Construction is expected to be completed by 2065. Separately, a relatively mediocre tech company known as Blueberry has hit the headlines of the tech industry by announcing their latest product - the BerryLens - a revolutionary new smart lens (smart contact lenses are a very new technology as it is) that runs opensource software accessible to any and all developers. Betting on strong hardware sales, Blueberry is making their software opensourse in an attempt to attract widespread use of their technology. The BerryLens is an instant hit in Oceania and is very quickly adopted by much of the middle class as private devices. The tech is also becoming quite popular among employers and is lent to employees in such professions such as mechanics, doctors, assembly line workers, etc. where having information and instructions available at a moment's notice is supremely useful. A big part in the popularisation of the BerryLens was a 10 Million dollar (in 2019 ASD) contract with Blueberry to supply 5000 BerryLenses to various government employees, especially those in such lines of work as engineers, electricians, and bureaucrats.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: With the new nation formed, the Imperialist government begins to establish a functioning military with 86% of the population in the military. Adebayo declares a new law requiring mandatory military service to people ages 16 to 26, in which they will serve 10 years in the military. Meanwhile, the military goes under a major reform, with new weaponry, armored vehicles, and aircraft being created in this year. This is because of the major workforce in the Nile River Union. [Secret] If Shin Teikoku declares their military group to be Imperialist or Nationalist, then Adebayo will declare the support towards the rebellion if they declare a imperialist government in the heart of Japan. 160,000 troops are ready to go if that case is true. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, cities near the Nile River are experiencing a industrial growth, with many businesses dedicated towards the economy of the Nile River Union. New trade routes are also settled with African, European, and Asian countries. They are also responsible for the growth of the economy. Adebayo invests in the rest of Libya and North Chad, declaring that in 2065, they will send a declaration of demands towards the North African Union and North Chad. The final thing that happened this year was the cultivation of the military, which increased from 500,000 to 1,200,000 because of the new law. Propaganda also increased across the nation, declaring people to stay loyal to the nation or be imprisoned.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: The government of Oceania would like to establish friendly diplomatic relations.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union Ambassador: Give us more time to think about it.
 * Shin Teikoku Representative: Despite the tempting offer, the resistance group has no intention of repeating the events of the 20th century, and as such does not outright declare their alignment as "nationalist" or "imperialist" thus far.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River President: Aw, guess you do not want our support. That sucks. We will instead send the support towards the Communists to take down your pesky rebellion.
 * Flag of Afghanistan.svg Afghanistan: The monarchy has been restored to provide stability to the country. Nesar Karzai Shah is King of Afghanistan. The country is in the process of being rebuilt from the decades long civil war earlier in the century. The last of the terrorist groups have been eradicated and the new government has taken measures to created a true Afghan national identity. Many groups have been banned as terrorists and strict punishments are employed to punish violators. Although reduced in size, the Afghan National Security Force (ANSF) remains at a strength of 140,000 troops to maintain order. A National Mining Corporation is established to develop the country's mineral resources. The revenues from this go towards the enlarged education, health, and social welfare budgets to raise the living standards of the Afghan people. Plans are being discussed for a universal dividend for all Afghans to promote economic growth and activity. Funding is also allocated for the construction of a national railway system throughout the country.


 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: In the presidential election, Choe Nak-yeon from the Patriotic Party gains a majority, having 197 seats, and wins, beating Kim Kyo-ahn from the Democratic Party which now have 86 seats. The Liberty Korea Party drops to 73 seats while the remaining 14 seats are filled by minor parties and independent politicians. The military sees a major focus and an increase in budget, especially with the threat of the Mongol Empire, focusing on the army and air force, while the navy also gets a decent focus. Meanwhile support is given to the Republic of China, and they are offered an economic and military alliance. [Mod Response] The government also offers Indonesia an alliance looking to establish more allies to unite against communist expansion. [Player Response] [Secret] The government also launches a nuclear weapons program in a move to construct ICBMs to only be used in extreme circumstances, and begins uranium mining in the north. [End Secret] A few new highway and infrastructure projects are approved for construction in the north to further develop the region. [Secret] Support to Shin Teikoku continues as well. [End Secret]
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesian Foreign Affairs: We would be delighted to accept.
 * Mod Reponse: The ROC cordially accepts.
 * Persia The Sixth Persian Empire offers support to Mongolia in their battle for dominance over China, in the event of any military conflict, we offer to send military forces to aid them (Mod Response). Persia begins to look towards a bigger mining sector, in order to bring increased wealth to the nation, the government funds three iron ore mines and several plants to convert the ore to steel. Propaganda is also implemented in order to try and convince a larger portion of the population to join the armed forces, by trying to incite nationalism and convincing people that due to it’s prominence since the dawn of mankind, the great Persian nation is destined for greatness. We begin to build large hydroponic facilities, to feed our population after the death of the bees. Also we would like to build a good relationship with the Nile River Union and Afghanistan, and offer joint military exercises with both nations (Player Responses).

2063
Communism again rears its head, this time in the underbelly of Cairo, where dissidents angered by the oppressive nature of the NRU have joined a Marxist-Leninist front intent on restoring democracy to North Africa. Meanwhile, scavengers in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania, have discovered plans for weaponized satellites in the ruins of the former U.S Raven Rock facility.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesia: The Indonesian Navy embarks on a large-scale naval upheaval in order to adapt to the times and better enforce the sea lanes of East Asia. Under plans, four helicopter carriers, the IAC Java, IAC Bandung, IAC Bali and IAC Sulawesi, each capable of launching and storing 10 STOVL aircraft at a time and nuclear-powered, are to be completed in the early 2070s; with the construction of an accompanying 20 missile frigates over the next decade as well as the creation of drydocks in Yogjakarta and Eastern Kalimantan. At the same time, Indonesia officially recognises the United States of America as the sole and legitimate owner of all land previously owned by the United States yet to be properly seceded to a foreign government; and properly recognise the Mexican claims and possession of land in the former Southwestern United States. Funding to the Shin Teikoku is stepped up, with active arms smuggling occurring. Indonesian government military facilities begin production of all weapons used by the ROC Armed Forces, sending them en masse to beleaguered Chinese forces; roughly 250,000 primary small arms are produced, with a small amount of stationary artillery and infantry vehicles also being sent. We urge the Chinese forces to fight on.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: The Communists, up in Cairo, are met with 60,000 troops stationed there to execute the communists for showing disloyalty towards the country. However, the ones left alive are tracked down by the remaining troops and shot when spotted. However, despite all the recent actions, Adebayo has declared official support for the communists up in Japan, due to the Shin Teikoku resistance movement denying the support. 160,000 troops, up in attack helicopters and aircraft, are sent to take down the resistance movement. However again, if the Communists deny any support, then Adebayo will go another route: fund a Nationalist uprising in Japan. Adebayo sternly asks Communist Japan if they want the support, or die as a weak nation. [Mod Response]. Meanwhile, showing no fear of an invasion, Adebayo declares more military equipment to be built and more propaganda signs out on the streets to support joining the NRU Workforce. As a result of the propaganda posters, nearly 1,300,000 people joined the new workforce, which increases the number of artillery created. The Nile is the major area for trading between other African countries, which also increases economic growth. An NRU economist predicted that the Nile River will reach $1 trillion in economic standards by 2080 at the current condition of economic growth.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Office of the Indonesian Cabinet: The Executive Branch of the Indonesian Government demands that the Nile River Union cease reckless hostilities immediately or face prevention of any naval, aerial and land vessels belonging to the NRU from crossing through Indonesian territory.
 * Empire_of_Japan_Flag_(New_Era_of_Empires).png Shin Teikoku: With the material support gathered by graceful allies within Asia, we begin moving our forces into position. [Secret] Approximately 80,000 supporters will rise up in Kyushu, while the barricade of all bridges and tunnels into the island will stall the reinforcement of junta troops. Agents implanted in various institutions throughout Honshu will disable the main electric grid in major cities to cause confusion amongst the junta, as well as false flag operations carried out on the northeast provinces on Honshu to divert attention. Propaganda will be disseminated into the rest of Japan as discreetly as possible. The surviving Yakuza clans are also called on to free the nation from communist oppressors, as they currently have no affiliation with the Shin Teikoku Resistance Movement and despite the possibility of having coinciding interests. [Mod Response] [End Secret] Following the Nile River Union's misunderstanding of our request to consider the option an outright rejection, we distance ourselves from their delusions despite the movement in itself being slightly nationalistic. The Shin Teikoku Movement shall claim victory with or without the support of the Nile River Union.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: You wish. If you want to deal with a new wave of fresh NRU troops, we suggest you surrender your arms.
 * Empire_of_Japan_Flag_(New_Era_of_Empires).png Shin Teikoku: We are honoured that the Nile River Union, an African nation, is so concerned about the wellbeing of Japanese citizens under an oppressive junta that they would send reinforcements to said junta. Seeing as we share similar goals of the removal of communists, it is simply appalling that they would go so far against small acts. As our movement vice-leader Nakajima Atsushi has stated, "恥！あなたの家族全員に恥を知れ！恥を知れ！あなたの牛に恥を知れ!", the movement is quite disappointed in the NRU's actions, but there is still room for reconciliation if the NRU are willing to make amends.
 * 800px-US flag 13 stars – Betsy Ross.svg.png United States of America: The United States stands proudly again. Our successful deals with the Mexican government and exploits against the Canadian imperialists have gone well for America, a phoenix rising from the ashes. We thank the Indonesian government for recognizing the US, as we embark on a worldwide journey to boost our diplomatic allies. The FBI arrests nearly 300 people for suspected ties to communist paramilitary organizations, however this move is (obviously) condemned by the Communist Party. The plans for militarized satellites are quickly scooped up by the federal government, and the blueprints are safely stored, just in case for emergency. Anti-Canadian rhetoric continues to be scaled up, as we demand the Canadian government give us back the land they have stolen from us. [Canadian Response] The IRS raises taxes to supply the burgeoning federal government. Louisiana and Florida are admitted as states, as a wave of patriotism sweeps the nation. The Washington Monument is finally reconstructed, and a new monument is built adjacent to it, honoring the new founding fathers and the Minutemen for America, a nation reborn.


 * Mongol.gif New Mongol Empire: In response to last year's request, the Great Khan, Altanochir Khan (a son of Daichin Khan), agrees to accept support from the Persian Empire. He proposes a military alliance between Persia and Mongolia. [Player Response] As a member of the Plain and Bordered White Banner, the ruling clan of the Mongol lands, Altanochir also proposes an alliance to the Manchus, offering the Manchu nobility a place with the Mongol nobility in exchange for becoming part of the empire. The Manchu clans will keep their place in society, their wealth, and their lands, but will become part of the Khan's realm. This alliance will strengthen both parties and help protect from Chinese aggression. If they agree this will extend Mongolian territory to the Korean border. [Mod Response] The Khan also offers to protect Tibet in exchange for becoming an autonomous part of the empire, providing protection from ROC aggression, as both Mongols and Tibetans have been victims of Han Chinese chauvinism. Tibet will still be left to its own self-governance under the Khan's authority. [Mod Response] The Mongol court also reaches out to the Muslim lands of Xinjiang, offering the Muslims a similar protection deal in exchange for becoming part of the empire. [Mod Response] Meanwhile, having wiped out the remnants of the Communists, the newly captured territory of North China is integrated into the empire. The mass-production factories of China are being restored, with military gear being prioritised for now. Thousands of Chinese are offered money, noble titles, and land if they agree to join the Khan's armies. The Mongolian army is bolstered by the influx of 200,000 Chinese subjects into its ranks, with also some conscription involved. The Mongol forces launch attacks along the front lines with the ROC, striking at multiple locations at once. But most of these are a feint, with the goal of over-extending the Chinese defenders, while the strongest Mongol units launch an offensive towards the Chinese capital. All available artillery and tank units are brought into the fray. Over 500,000 troops are deployed for this operation. [Mod Response on success of the attack] Efforts begin on constructing a navy on the northern Chinese coast around Shandong and also to establish an Air Force. As for other aspects of foreign policy, the Khan ignores other countries in the region, but makes a statement that other countries that continue to aid the ROC will be seen as enemies of the Mongol Empire.
 * Persian Diplomacy: We accept Mongolia’s offer of an alliance between our two glorious nations.
 * Manchuria (Mod-controlled): We refuse under all circumstances.
 * Tibet (Mod-controlled): We refuse, instead giving the Republic of China military access.


 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: Several new ships are under construction as part to improve naval capabilities and better defend against threats at sea. Meanwhile the army sees upgraded weapons and two new upgraded tanks, the K1E3 and K1A4, under construction. The budget for the military is raised to one precent of the GDP. [Secret] Support towards the Shin Teikoku is also increased and also supplies them with weapons. Meanwhile the nuclear program continues and with the resources in the north, plans are laid out towards the construction of nuclear weapons [End Secret] The government also asks Indonesia if Korea can join the Pacific Union. [Player Response] Korean pop music and the music scene as a whole begins a slow revival, with emerging singers such as Kang Seung-hyun sparking the start of it. The Hyundai Motor Company is relaunched with the first relaunching model in production, the Sonata, though due to limitations will end up being a branch off from its fifth generation design.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesian Foreign Ministry: The request is accepted. The Pacific Union welcomes Korea.
 * Persia: Following the creation of the Persian-Mongol alliance, 300,000 Persian soldiers are sent to Mongolia, along with 200 tanks, 500 artillery pieces and 300 aircraft including fighter jets and helicopters. Conscription is also tightened in Persia with both genders having to serve 2 years in the army between the ages of 18-25. This brings a further 150,000 soldiers into the Persian army. Several sites are marked out for 5 government funded mines, the three iron ore mines planned last year, a uranium mine and a copper mine. Persia also begins to work on large hydroponic farms around the cities of Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan to feed the people there. 500,000 Persian soldiers are stationed at the border with Pakistan and we offer for the province of Makran to become a part of the great nation of Persia (Mod Response). We offer 40,000 men to the NRU in order to combat communism in Cairo(Player Response). (Secret) We offer large amounts of support to the Shin Teikoku rebels if the will agree to give a free trade agreement and a Pacific military base to Persia if their rebellion is sucessful (Shin Teikoku Response).
 * Makrani de facto Government: We accept the Persian offer.
 * Empire_of_Japan_Flag_(New_Era_of_Empires).png Shin Teikoku: We agree to a future free trade agreement, however the leasing of a Pacific military base to Persia is a dubious price tag to aid. While we are inclined to agree, we would like to inquire as to what Persia intends to do with a military base in East Asia?
 * Persian Diplomacy We intend to use it as a military base, in East Asia.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg (LATE) Nile River Union: Adebayo accepts, and thanks the Persians for their support against the Communist traitors up in Cairo.

2064
With the NRU distracted by Egyptian communists, the remaining, independent African powers form a mutual defense agreement and ask for support from the U.S and others. The Yakuza declares loyalty to the Japanese rebels, following the "enemy of my enemy principle".
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceania: The decision is made to declare the RoC as the sole true Chinese government. 50,000 Marines and 1000 UAVs and the relevant Air Force personnel are sent to South China to help the RoC defend against unchecked and entirely unwarranted expansionist military aggression by the so-called Mongol Empire. Meanwhile, the Marines dig in along the border with heavy artillery aimed at relevant targets in Mongolia, including military targets, factories, but also access roads, mountain sides, and dams. [Secret] Military scientists begin work on room-temperature water freezing techniques, with the possibility of freezing Mongolia's water supplies should it come to that. At the same time, experimental sonic weaponry and laser artillery are shipped to the border to be tested on the battlefield should war break out. Thirdly, anti-aircraft and anti-artillery iron-dome systems are put in place to prevent any Mongolian surprise attacks. [/Secret] No actual military action takes place, with Oceanian diplomats seeking a peaceful resolution to this standoff. [Player Response] Meanwhile, 40,000 troops are sent to Japan to aid Shin Teikoku in its rebellion against the Communist government. In addition to Marines, 1000 UAVs and 1000 UNVs are sent to Japan and the UAVs begin periodically fire-bombing Communist war-factories while the UNVs enact a blockade of Communist sea-routes. Troops are placed largely under local rebel command with Air Force and Navy support guaranteed. The plan is to outlast Communist forces as opposed to mass warfare, in order to minimise civilian casualties and to control spending. In other news, the Oceanian Space Agency is dissolved and replaced by the Oceanian Space Command (OSC). Space Command is a branch of the Oceanian military specialising in space warfare. Nonetheless, it is (currently) largely a civilian and scientific organisation with only one (secret) military operation in space. It is announced that construction of space-to-space spaceships will begin next year with small craft operational by 2068. However, any medium to large sized space-to-space craft are not currently being considered. [Secret] These (small) spaceships, though capable of military combat, will largely serve scientific purposes with plans to explore the solar system. Seperately, military space drones are under development though the main focus of space drones at the moment is satellites interception, as space-to-space combat is virtually unnecessary. Kinetic Bombardment is currently being studied with a projected 8 year time frame before any construction begins. [/Secret] Lastly, a preliminary plan for colonising the Moon is on the table, but not a serious consideration at the moment.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: Since the Communists in Japan did not respond to the requests, Plan 3 is enacted by Adebayo, in which the 160,000 troops are being sent back to the NRU. The plan is enacted, with weaponry, artillery, and military assistance being sent to fund a nationalist uprising. The stuff will be transported through the Red Sea. Since the Indonesians threatened to block any naval, aerial, and land vessels if the government do not cease hostilities, Adebayo decides to plan a naval route to transport through the Timor Sea, Arafura Sea, and the Solomon Sea before transporting through the Pacific Ocean. This will take around 2 years to complete the journey. [Secret] More communists in Egypt are being publicly executed for showing more disloyalty towards the NRU. Despite the Indonesian claims, Adebayo requests that the "Indonesians should mind their own business and leave us to do our thing". 580,000 troops up in Egypt are placed in clusters in major cities and deserted areas to prevent a surprise revolution by the Communists. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, the NRU workforce is steadily increasing by 5% every year, with even more people being authorized to join. Propaganda techniques are also used for the majority of the percentage, with 4.33% of the new workers are used by propaganda techniques. The NRU Armed Forces and the NRU Air Force are also increasing by percentages, with a record high percentage of 43% of the population joining the military, an all time record high. [Secret] A secret plan has been ordered by Adebayo, considering the option to invade Ethiopia in around 2075 to gain full control of the Nile River. However, recent events could delay the operation, codenamed Operation Dust Storm. [End Secret].
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Office of the Indonesian Cabinet: Considering the unruly behaviour of the NRU, we immediately set in place all previously-discussed restrictions.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesia: A force of 130,000 men is sent to the Republic of China to assist in the nation's war against Mongolia, accompanied by 500 Nusantara-I tanks fitted with 35mm AVAS (Anti-vehicular anti-stationary weapon) guns and possessing a top speed of 78 km/h (on-road) or 51 km/h (off-road). Similarly, the Indonesian Air Force begins to upgrade to the P-31, with VSTOL capabilities, with full upgrades expected to be complete by 2073. An infrastructure plan is set into place, calling for the revamp of Jakarta and the wider Jabodetabek area regarding slums and other disorganised housing; as well as enforcement of road systems and public transport improvements, especially with the establishment of overhanging rail systems. Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and others can look to similar improvements incoming in the next five years; with expected completion date for the improvements in Jakarta being 2091. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry requests that Western Australia deny access to the Nile River Union's vessels as well [Mod Response Needed]. Similarly, Indonesia cuts relations with Communist Japan, and calls for the other members of the Pacific Union to do the same [Mod/Korean/Oceanic Response Needed].
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korean Diplomacy: The government agrees, and also cuts off relations with Communist Japan.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: The government cuts off relations with Communist Japan.
 * Independent Observer of Mongol-Chinese Conflict: Despite Mongol attempts to take the Chinese capital, the 500,000 men overextend themselves and find themselves surrounded in an unsustainable formation. They are sieged outside the city and eventually surrender, taking every single tank and artillery gun in the Mongolian force with it. This allows the Republic of China to trash forwards; taking back Shanghai and multiple other cities previously firmly behind the lines of Mongolian forces.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: Oceanian UAVs rain hell on retreating Mongolian forces, assisting in the forward blitzkrieg of the Chinese Army.
 * Moon.pngPersia: A further 750,000 Persian soldiers, along with 1000 tanks, 2500 artillery pieces and 500 aircraft are sent to the Mongolian front. We apologise to the Shin Teikoku rebels, but to smooth out the mess that is Japan at the moment, we support our allies in the NRU and also begin sending supplies to nationalist groups in Japan. We would also like to meet with Mongolian generals and leaders to discuss the best way to move forward after the disaster at Beijing and to formulate a joint strategy. Until then our troops will remain at the border(Mod Response?) (Secret) Persia begins reasearch on a weapon to destroy an enemy’s weapons/infrastructure. The basic idea of this weapon is that it will destroy metal. The reasearch into this is taken down two branches with one being trying to find a gaseous catalyst for the reaction between iron and oxygen and the other being corrosive nanobots (End Secret). Planning also begins on sending two sattelites into orbit within 5 years. Lastly a Trans-Persian Highspeed Railway begins construction this year and is hoped to greatly help with transport of goods and personel across the country.
 * Mongol.gif Mongol Empire (Mod-controlled): We propose that the Persian forces cover the retreat of the frontline from Beijing as we advance instead into neighbouring Manchuria to secure our lines. We're abandoning all positions East of Beijing; maintaining those in Inner Mongolia and inland China.


 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: As the military continues development on several new ships and upgraded technology, the military's active personnel is increased to 350,000 from 305,000. With having served relations with Communist Japan, Korea moves in to reinforce their claim to the and brining the islands under full Korean control, but takes no further action [Secret] aside from the continued support for Shin Teikoku. [End Secret] The east coast of Korea, particularly in the south, sees an increase in military and navy presence while a part of Ulsan is made into a military base for the navy. Meanwhile the north part of Korea continues to see some development, especially in regards to infrastructure and highways.
 * Flag of Prussia 1892-1918.svgPrussia: The 2064 election sees Dmitri Affelstein win much of the electorate, promising stable food sources and electricity, as well as improvements to infrastructure, education, and unemployment. Rooftop gardens and farms are subsidized, and wind and solar power plants begin construction with the aim of making Prussia more self-sustainable. A revitalization of Kaliningrad begins, with end goals including restoring the old, pre-World War 2 city center to its former glory, fixing roads and public transit, and overall creating a more liveable cityscape. Some local startups also recieve government subsidies, in order to create more jobs for the economy. Plans for a high-speed rail traversing the country, connecting Kaliningrad with the outlying cities of Volodino and Gusev are drafted. Finally, due to increasing migration from neighboring nations, Polish and Lithuanian are added as official languages of Prussia alongside Russian and German.

2065
The former U.S Midwest Region sees signs of overall chaos over a drought, limiting the Mexican and Canadian food supplies severely. A large secessionist movement begins to form. Meanwhile, Japanese rebels succeed in taking hold of Osaka and several points in Kyushu as the Japanese Civil War begins.
 * Moon.pngPersia: Responding to Mongolia’s directions from last year all troops east of Beijing are pulled back and 1,000,000 reinforcements are sent 850,000 soldiers, along with most of the artillery are stationed to halt the Chinese advance from Beijing. They are ordered to fight a defensive battle and try to stop the Chinese movng forward, not advance themselves. The other 1,200,000 troops are placed at the longer border in Inland China and Mongolia. A 200,000 strong force are sent to try and take the city of Chengdu, along with air support and 400 new tanks. 50,000 will directly attack the city to provide a distraction for the remaining 150,000 to surround the city and attack from all sides (Mod Response). In order to faciliate this war, Persia uses propaganda, targeting nationalistic spirits, along with some conscription, to bring the military up to 5% of the population. Factories across Persia are also working to produce around 2000 tanks, 3000 artillery 400 bombers and 600 fighter jets in 3 years. (Secret) Persia’s metal corrosion project is codenamed Project Gulf and more funds are allocated to it (End Secret). The large scale hydroponic farms around Tehran and Isfahan are semi-operational with more work to be done to expand them in the next two years. The hydroponics at Mashhad are delayed by around a year. However another solution may be possible as the Government of Persia offers funding to a group that hopes to be able to genetically modify crops with fungi DNA in order to try and breed using spores, rather than pollinators. After the successful union with Makran, we extend our offers to the other districts of Balochistan are offered the same union with the Persian nation, as the 500,000 already at the border recive 150,000 reinforcements (Mod Response).
 * Independent Observer: The breakthrough at Chengdu succeeds, at the cost of 65,000 men and 100 tanks. Chinese forces dig in around the region with a force far outnumbering that of the Persians, although somewhat disorganised.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: We would like to discuss a cessation of hostilities in China, and a direction of Mongolian aggression elsewhere. This would prevent countless lives lost when ultimately, many years from now, we will have to discuss a cessation of hostilities anyway. [Player Response]
 * Empire_of_Japan_Flag_(New_Era_of_Empires).png Shin Teikoku: Our efforts to overthrow the corrupt communist junta are bearing fruit. Judging the time to be ripe for the establishment of a new front, 30,000 of our forces stage an uprising in the Tohoku prefecture, with the goal of maintaining a foothold in the region and moving south. [Secret] We begin setting up a branch of the movement in Hokkaido, however no offensive movements are executed yet. The purpose of this move is to ensure that Hokkaido will be secured, be it diplomatically or by force. We intend to send them an offer of unification after the junta is overthrown. [End Secret] We sincerely thank all sovereign states and non-governmental organisations that have supported and funded the Shin Teikoku Movement.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: The government fully intervines in the Japanese Civil War for support towards Shin Teikoku, and sends 10,000 military personnel to support the cause. The rebels are also offered to use Daemado and Jeju Island as a supporting point if necessary as a base to launch further invasions into Kyushu. [Player Response] South East Korea continues to have more of a naval presence on guard as well as several army and air force personnel, to fend off any attempts of Communist Japan invading. [Secret] The Mongol invasion of Manchuria however does not go ignored, but due to the government not wanting to end up fighting in two fronts, a military presence of 30,000 personnel are sent to the north, as only defence in case Manchuria ends up falling to the Mongols. [End Secret] With the success of the relaunched Sonata, the Hyundai Motor Company slowly begins plans for revived and new models alike, and begins producing the new generation of the Hyundai i20.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: A declaration of demands has been drafted towards North Chad and the North African Union, demanding that North Chad surrenders their entire country to the NRU, as well as the North African Union for giving up the rest of Libya. [Mod Response]. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government is condemned by Adebayo and his supporters by trying to convince Western Australia to deny access to the vessels sent to fund a nationalist uprising. Adebayo sternly asks the Indonesians to stop meddling in the NRU's business, and keep to their own kind. [Indonesian Response]. Meanwhile, mass building of new artillery, aircraft, tanks, and naval vessels is supposed to happen in the time span of 5 years, in which Adebayo dubs the "Militaristic Industrial Advancement" (MIA). The MIA doctrine kicks off in the NRU on May 17th, in which a large scale of the population partakes in MIA. [Secret] Cairo is still under heavy surveillance by most of the NRU Armed Forces. However, Adebayo orders the withdrawal of 130,000 troops from the area to prepare for an invasion against both North Chad and the North African Union. This plan is subjected to happen in a year after the mass industrial creation of military equipment. However, a fresh wave of new troops are placed in the areas the withdrawal took place in. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, more propaganda is targeted at the population of the NRU, with military service. As a result, 123,233 people enlisted as active personnel. The rest of the population are used for reserves. The final thing that happened this year (and it's a long one), is the funding for the minor imperialist/nationalist groups. The sailing has been relatively smooth, with no major issues, other then the possible denial of access by Western Australia. If the Australians deny the access, then the supplies will be flown over the skies to Japan.
 * North African Union and Chad: We request that the Nile River Union shut up and screw off. We begin to mobilise on the border in response to this clear aggression.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: Ain't that just sad. Well, have it your way.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesian Foreign Ministry: It is our business when you transport troops through our waters to support an authoritarian junta.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: We strongly urge that you recognise the legitimacy of the Shin Teikoku rebellion as we have the common enemy of Communist Japan. Unless such a declaration is made, we cannot trust that you will turn on our Japanese allies once the Communists have been defeated.
 * 800px-US flag 13 stars – Betsy Ross.svg.png United States of America: We take advantage of the anti-Canadian sentiments in the Midwest, organizing with American resistance cells via the Internet. No weapons are sent, however. Secretly, Operation: Iron Offensive is set up, hoping to steer public opinion in the Midwest in the American favor, by coordinated social media campaigns. A government-wide Intranet is set up. We continue to vocally support the Republic of China, and we send logistical support to their campaigns in Mongolia. A high speed rail system is proposed, but it dies in the House of Representatives. Still, with a Democrat majority in Congress after last year's elections, a new national train authority is set up. In the Florida Territory, several pro-Mexican rioters are arrested, and martial law is declared in that territory. The Southern Reconstruction Project is launched, repairing highways, infrastructure, and roads, while much of the vast territory remains in anarchy. The government buys up the shattered remains of what remains of the Ford Motor Company, hoping to turn it into an industrial powerhouse.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: We offer to send cyber-warfare specialists to aid in the American effort to liberate America from Canada. [Player Response]
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesia: In response to Nile River Union aggression, Indonesia freezes all assets held by the nation in Indonesian banks and other financial facilities and urges the rest of the Pacific Union to do the same [Mod/Korean/Oceanic Response Needed]. Research begins on a cheaper, reusable rocket booster, taken in conjunction between the National Space Agency and businesses such as POPBOX and other logistics companies with an interest in commandeering thus far abandoned satellites. In the meantime, the Indonesian representative at the Pacific Union offers Myanmar and China membership [Mod Response Needed]. Infrastructure plans continue erstwhile, as performance of the Nusantara-I continues to be monitored for results. With six missile frigates, and an existing thirteen corvettes, two Nagapasa-class submarines and several supply ships, the 1st Light Attack Fleet is established.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korean Diplomacy: The government agrees and follows suit in freezing all assets owned by the Nile River Union within Korea.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceanian Dip: The government does not act, yet. Should the NRU refuse Oceanian demands to recognise Shin Teikoku, Oceania will treat the NRU as a hostile nation not in conflict with Oceania, and as such defensive measures will be taken to limit their efforts.
 * Flag of Prussia (1892-1918).svgPrussia: We condemn the actions of the reactionary Nile River Union government, and remind them that war and expansionism has no place in modern society. Large hydroponics farms are constructed all over the country, to provide an adequate, stable and sustainable food supply for all Prussians. Wind and solar power plants also are constructed. Improvements to the quality of service at the main port at Baltiysk are made, allowing more efficiency. The trans-Prussia high-speed rail line is also given the green light, and construction has begun. Restoration of the old city center of Kaliningrad/Königsberg begins, with Soviet-style apartment blocks being torn down in what was the historical old town and being replaced with restorations of pre-World War 2 buildings. We also drastically cut corporate and income taxes, with the hope of stimulating foreign investment into the country. Immigration laws are also relaxed, allowing all people who can prove that at least one of their ancestors had lived in Prussia between 1800 and 1945 to return to their former homeland freely.

2066
After decades of silence in world affairs, Cuba has joined the World Commune, a global communist alliance formed in the 2050s. Cuba derides American occupation of Florida has akin to an "Israel-esque apartheid state", and encourages Hispanics in the region to rebel against the United States. Quickly spreading like the reach of communism, a new disease has emerged in North America, the NRU, and several other countries. The disease, contracted by contaminated fresh water, turns contacted humans into mindless carnivores and is characterized by skin degeneration. Rumors abound that this new disease is some form of biological warfare introduced by terrorists. Hordes of infected humans have formed in the countrysides, and rampage across small towns and villages like an unstoppable plague. While the World Commune is suspected, there is no direct proof or evidence even suggesting the disease is man-made. One thing is however for certain, unless a cure is found soon, all affected governments will suffer the consequences.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceania: All travel into and out of Oceania is severely limited with airports and sea ports declared 'quarantine' zones with multiple levels of clearance before one can enter Oceania. Meanwhile, a request for temporary peace in the Sino-Mongolian war is requested so that both nations may focus on the threat of infected humans [Player Response]. A new inter-agency task force is setup with the code-name Operation Zombie. Dozens of agents are sent overseas with military teams to begin research on this new disease. It is proposed that the Pacific Union work together on this [Player/Mod Response]. In other news, the Oceanian Cyberforce is established with the goal to defend Oceania from cyber warfare. The Cyberforce will also engage in offensive cyber warfare when necessary. [Secret] In fact, the Cyberforce is immediately put to work taking out Communist Japanese telecommunications and infrastructure systems. [Mod Response] [/Secret] Meanwhile, 5,000 troops each are pulled back from both the Sino-Mongolian war and the Japanese Revolution. In their stead, hundreds more UAVs and UNVs are sent to the front-lines. The plan is to reduce overall troops with a greater reliance on UAVs, UNVs, ULVs, and Cyber warfare coordination. [Secret] In space, 12 abandoned Russian military satellites have been captured and integrated into the Oceanian satellite network. The knowledge lerned through this experience is used to generate plans for seizing Mongolian satellites should that be necessary. Plans are underway for the launch of a dozen new micro-satellites in two years as well as the development of Kinetic Bombardment technology over the next 10 years. However, such technologies are temporarily de-prioritised as funding is diverted to combating the spread of the 'zombie disease'. [/Secret] Meanwhile in India, nuclear missile construction is underway following the successful tests a handful of years earlier. Currently 2 ICBMs have been made with many more to come. As mentioned before, they are purely for defensive purposes and will not be used for anything more than a MAD-type deterrent. [Secret] The military R&D department states that the water-freezing technology is underway with various materials already identified as having the necessary characteristic. Simultaneously, they begin research into non-harmful concrete corrosive chemicals as well as non-harmful metal corrosive chemicals to be used in warfare. Last but not least, work on non-nuclear EMPs is begun, though as with most other projects, it has an undefined date of completion as funding is tight. [/Secret]
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korean Diplomacy: The government agrees, and also sends agents to study the disease.
 * Moon.pngPersian Diplomacy: We suggest that Mongolia does not take up the Oceanian offer of a ceasefire.
 * Mongol Empire (Mod-controlled): We refuse a ceasefire. What sort of idiocy is this? Do you honestly believe we would believe any of this nonsense?
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: Borders are shut down in the wake of a new disease emerging, and the navy is on high alert on all of the Korean coasts as well as the Dokdo, Jeju, and Daemado Islands. Restrictions are imposed on airports and sea ports, vastly limiting travel into and out of the nation, with multiple screening checks being launched as well. Foreign travel to any of the Korean held islands is fully shut down for the time being, while any foreign nationals currently there are free to leave. [Secret] Meanwhile construction of nuclear ICBMs is underway. [End Secret] While security in Korea is high, support continues to aid Shin Teikoku in their fight against the Communist government. Research on this new disease is also underway, having already sent agents, with plans to develop a cure for it at some point once more knowledge and investigation comes through.
 * Moon.pngPersia: In order to make the most of the breakthrough, a total of 300,000 soldiers, 50,000 new, 50,000 relocated from Beijing and 200,000 from other areas of the line are sent to the city of Chengdu to stop it being retaken. Most of the Persian airforce not around Beijing are relocated to the central provinces of China near Chengdu. We do not reccomend that Mongolia takes up Oceania’s offer of a ceasefire, but leave the decision up to them. The Persian military is expanded to 15% of the budget, and we offer economic and scientific support to NRU to help them in their infection control (NRU player response). As well as this all travel in and out of Persia is strictly monitored and all people must be subject to a blood test to check for the Infection. Also travel to and from the US is completly forbidden. (Secret) large amounts of Persia’s military budget are allocated to training and equipping our millions of recently gained soldiers by 2070. Also a promising gas is synthesised in Project Gulf, more work is poured into it, with a workable prototype expected to be available for preliminary testing next year. Despite this, work continues on nanobot based solutions in case this new gas flops (End Secret). The high speed rail project is nearing completion, and we would like to offer the nations of Arabia and NRU a line from Alexandria to Riydah to Makran (NRU/Mod Response) The first of the new mines, a large uranium mine in the north near the Caucasus border is now finished and begins to produce Uranium which will be now used to construct several new nuclear power plants across Persia.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: Sure.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesia: The troubling appearance of an apparent mass rabies epidemic in North America necessitates quick and fast action. The Indonesian Foreign Ministry blocks all travel from and to Canada, while issuing a travel advisory for Mexico and the United States; similarly, out of fear that Canada, which currently illegally occupies a majority of the United States' Midwestern Territory, the Indonesian Ambassador to the Russian state appeals to the country to prevent Canadian ships from travelling through their waters, and the Indonesian Consulate in Mexico advises similar action [Mod Response Needed]. Indonesia sets up the Catastrophic Emergency Response Agency (CERA), to prepare for a possible outbreak in Indonesia itself. As such, the infrastructure program is prioritised in order to decrease the chances of infection; a scientific panel is sent to assist Oceania in their investigation of the disease. In the meantime, Indonesia begins to directly assist Shin Teikoku; sending the country's sole aircraft carrier, the IAC Nusantara, to join the 1st Light Attack Fleet. The combined fleet proceeds to Ryukyu and begins to bomb naval sites under the control of the Communist Junta [Mod Response Needed].
 * Mod responses: Mexico concurs. The bombing is cancelled thanks to the ceasefire.
 * Empire_of_Japan_Flag_(New_Era_of_Empires).png Shin Teikoku: Efforts at liberation will not stop in the face of biological disasters. Our northern assault continues, however we call for a ceasefire in the naval front with the junta, in order to fully devote our ships to preventing the spread of the pathogen into Japan. [Mod Response Needed] Land-based assaults continue, and we begin pushing further east. Administrative systems are returned to pre-junta instances with improvements where applicable to ensure lasting stability when the junta is overthrown.
 * Mod response: The Junta accepts.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: In response to the mobilization of troops by the North African Union and Chad, the NRU does the same, with 160,000 troops mobilized at each borders. A declaration of war is sent to both North Africa and Chad. The other troops are sent up to Egypt to take care of the mess up there. Meanwhile, the supplies reached landing in Japan, and Adebayo sends out a request to the Japanese nationalists to start a revolution against both Shin Teikoku and the Communists, with NRU aid and support. [Mod Response]. [WARSTANCE] The first offensive is initiated by Adebayo, with a front opened in North Chad to push the currently mobilized troops at the border. The NRU Armed Forces takes a 5-way offense against North Africa, with 5 opened fronts to push the North Africans. The artillery, created by the massive NRU workforce, are sent out to Chad and North Africa. Speaking of Chad, 50,000 troops are split towards the north of Chad to open a surprise front. Adebayo requests the success of the front. [Mod Response]. [END WARSTANCE]. The mess up in Egypt is being met with 78,000 troops positioned and opening fire at the horde of zombies. Adebayo also requests if the operation against the horde is a success. [Mod Response]. NRU scientists look into a potential cure for the disease, which scientists predict will take 5 years to research, analyze, and potentially make a cure for the disease.
 * Mod responses: Japanese nationalists accept. The front in Chad is a failure, with the NRU losing 15,000 troops and being forced to retreat. A large dent is placed in the zombie menace, with the NRU losing just 8,000 troops.

2067
The infection spreads to Britain. With infected humans across the world, the idea of using nuclear weapons to raze the hordes is now theoretically moot. The Indochinese Union commits 5,000 troops and substantial armament to support their Japanese junta allies.
 * Flag of Taiwan.png Republic of China: The son of the former president wins the election. Kar Xi is continuing the former policies. However it also expands on the Indo-China Pact, where soliders are placed in India in return for resources. Our remaining Humvees are gathered up, from the former charge toward Ulabattar. The former communist citzens are continued ot be provided with money. One MAJOR change in our policies is our foreign relations. Instead of reaching out to places in Middle East and Central Asia, we look to our neighbors, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Manchuria And TurkestaN. We urge all places said to join the war aginst the Mongols.[MOD&PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED] We also continue digging up old PRC documents in hope to find more weapons[MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. We also adopt a new strategy, focusing more on defense and small powerful charges. We hope to tire their army. An effort is made to stop NRU in the South China Sea over fears of them making rebellions in China or any allied Indian States. A lot of money is put into infrastructure not only in Shanghai but also in North India.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: The government declines due to focus being tied up elsewhere such as the outbreak as well as supporting the rebellion in Japan.
 * Chinese response: We ask the Koreans to reconsider, however we will take no for a answer. However if it is possible to achieve an alliance between us as we are both Democratic East Asian states. We will pay them with ports in Tianjin, Taipei and Shanghai and even several business opportunities on the now powerful south.
 * Mod Update: Just so you know the story since 2062: China is in a military alliance with Indonesia as well as Korea (separate). 160,000 Indonesian troops are in China with you, and they're also supplying arms and tanks. Communist Japan is also not really gonna ally with you because three of your allies oppose them.
 * Tibet and Turkestan: We cannot expend any forces at this time.
 * 800px-US flag 13 stars – Betsy Ross.svg.png United States of America: Soldiers are positioned on the Canadian border, hoping to prevent the spread of the disease. The CDC (with a new $30 million headquarters in Alexandria, in the former FBI HQ) will attempt to triangulate the cities in which major outbreaks of this disease are located. [Mod Response] Operation: Rose Blood is enacted by the President, which aims to quarantine infected zones, via military force if needed, send medical professionals to take multiple medical tests, including the collection of bodily fluids, from dead specimens. Military "Containment Teams" are sent to infected areas to gun down hostile infected, then to prevent the further spread, transporting them to a burial place. JFK Airport, the only civilian airport in the US, is shut down, shuttering air travel in the country. We conduct experiments to see whether the transformation from a non-hostile infected human to a hostile infected human is immediate, or whether it takes time for the disease to take hold. [Mod Response] Since the disease is spread by contaminated fresh water, we conduct regular water checks to ensure the water is safe to drink in most areas. This work is mostly conducted by state and local officials. We attempt to quell any protests in Florida, cancelling the special gubernatorial elections this year. We also condemn Cuba for attempting to incite violence in other nations, to further advance their own political agendas.
 * Mod Response: The CDC is able to quell outbreaks in western South Carolina, and gains knowledge on the disease's inability to spread outside of oral means. The process by which an infected human fully becomes hostile appears to be lapsing consciousness before a coma and a twelve-hour period of apparent rest with violent seizures. Infected humans, regardless of their mental state, also appear to spread the disease via any form of contact whatsoever.
 * Moon.pngPersia: As Mongolia has wisely refused Oceania’s ceasefire, we continue to work to our glorious victory. Several thousand vehicles have now been constructed, including all of the bombers, as these were a high priority. Most of the tanks have been sent to Chengdu whilst the bombers begin striking the cities of Beijing and Shanghai. 510,000 soldiers have been equipped since last year. 250,000 soldiers are sent to reinforce the line across China, with a further 190,000 to Chengdu and 70,000 to Beijing. Several Persian scientists are sent to NRU to help research for a possible cure for the infection, whilst work begins on the high speed rail station in Cairo and tracks across Egypt, now that the Persian lines are completed. The 40,000 soldiers placed there to combat communist uprisings are now sent to help NRU combat the infected humans, mainly in the northern costal region. (Secret) Testing begins on a gas that will corrode ferrous materials within hours (Mod Response). If the tests are successful, it could become a devastating weapon, capable of penetrating any non-airtight structures and destroying iron or steel foundations, bridges and important communications facilities would also be affected. As well as this, Persia begins development of a weapon that has already been tested. A small load of uranium is taken from the mine in the north, and a project to develop a nuclear weapon begins (End Secret). After several years work, the hydroponics farms serving Tehran and Isfahan are complete, with the plant in Mashhad to follow next year. Currently the genetic engineering project is considered a low budget project and is thus progressing slowly. (Secret) We would like to discuss a joint attack on China with Mongolia next year. We suggest a surprise attack on Beijing with joint Persian and Mongol forces, and then a pincer movement from Chengdu and Beijing by Persia, whilst Mongolia attacks along the border. We are open to suggestions for changes to the plan (End Secret/Mod Response). To ensure that the disease stays out of Persia, all major Persian water supplies are now subject to bimonthly examinations to ensure they are not infected.
 * Mod Response: The gas is unsuccessful at delivering the desired results, and results in the deaths of multiple testers. It is called off unilaterally as too dangerous as of current.
 * Mongol Empire: We disagree. We demand that the Persians cover the pincer movement, but Mongolia will take sole command of the attack on Beijing.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: [WARSTANCE] Since the operation failed, Adebayo conducts a new push towards the southern regions to cut off the armies in the north and the west. The operation, codenamed Operation Yaqtae (Arabic for Cutting Off.), is authorized by Adebayo. The operation takes place 1 day after the official declaration of the operation. Adebayo requests the success of the operation. [Mod Response]. The front in North Africa has reached a halt, with reinforcements from the NAU coming in waves. Adebayo pulls another division of 65,000 troops with advanced artillery and aircraft to the front lines. [END WARSTANCE]. [INSIDE JAPAN] The nationalists were given the go-ahead to start the revolution, and the revolution takes place in Communist Japan. The first offense by NRU troops there was to take the coastal cities from the communists, to halt any supplies or other imports from coming in. Nationalists are also given the go-ahead in Shin Teikoku, in which the operation, along with 50,000 NRU troops, was to take the coast in the Sea of Japan, to stop the supply flow from Korea, slowing Shin Teikoku's advances until other supplies from other countries come to effect. The success of both operations are requested. [Mod Response]. [END]. The zombie crisis is being handled pretty smoothly, with multiple troops stationing up in Cairo, and are recording major success. [Secret] Without the public knowing, Adebayo has a series of hidden documents, stating that the people will be given more individual freedoms, but the government will still remain nationalistic and imperialistic. These documents are stored in a hidden vault underground. [End Secret]. The MIA doctrine is heavily effecting the NRU military positively, with more advancements each few months. This could resemble a start of a new global superpower.
 * Mod Response: NRU troops are kicked off Japanese soil by both the Communist Junta and the Shin Teikoku, neither of which appreciate the NRU nearly destroying the fragile ceasefire. Operation Yaqtae however is a success.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: In the presidential election, Choe Nak-yeon wins another term. The navy continues to be on alert on all sides of the Korean coast as well as Jeju, Dokdo, and Daemado. Support towards the Shin Teikoku is increased, with another 5,000 sent towards the cause. Meanwhile further research on the new disease continues and hopes for any major information to arrive soon. Meanwhile infrastructure also sees a slight rise in budget, towards not only further development in the north but also elsewhere in hopes to prevent the spread of the infection from entering the nation. Two new tanks, the K1E3 and K1A4, begin to be rolled out as part of the upgrade towards the army. Three new ships are also complete, one submarine in the Chang Bogo class, and two frigates in the Daegu class. Two corvettes in the Pohang class are in construction as well as one auxiliary ships in the Soyang class.
 * Indonesia: Considering that the infection only appears to be spreading, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry, in conjunction with the Navy, enacts Operation Hammerdown, in which the 1st Light Strike Fleet, along with two other carrier battle groups, begins a blockade of the Canadian Pacific Coast (including the occupied territory of the United States). [Secret] Fearing that the virus may spread to Indonesia, the Presidential Cabinet and Army enact the Carry On Directives, which in the event of mass chaos across Indonesia will activate highly trained sleeper agents from the populace to carry on the duty of the Indonesian government. Similarly, CERA, with the Indonesian Army, Police Force, judicial systems, health, utilities and others, will create the Joint Emergency Federal Government in the event of such a catastrophe. All directives may only be ready in the next ten years [End Secret].

2068
It is revealed that the outbreak was released by a group called the Awakened after a former member speaks to Scottish authorities. The group is a post-apocalyptic cult intent on finishing the eradication of humanity, and has members across the world. Technology for military walkers is gaining headway, particularly in the NRU.
 * Republic of china- We dig in with trenches and snorted by heavy artillery in the back lines. We hope to maintain a completely defensive stance. More diplomatic envoys are sent to every nation we have contact with for any sign of help,[MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. We also retrieve our 10,000 strong volunteer force that we sent America a few years ago, their put on the front line. At the moment we try investing into South China. We also try to communicate with the Indian states that we have communicated with earlier and ask if a full-on alliance can be made, just some of the many Indian nations we try to ally with are Punjab, Rajastan, Mahrastra, Chandiggar, Jammu&Kashmir, Bengal, Tamilnadu, and Andrhu Pradesh[MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. We also set up defensive lines all across china, with three main ones. Our strongest line is along the gobi dessert. Our second line is from WeiHai to Xi‘an. Our final defensive measures to protect the industrial and tech superior south is at the Suzhou river. fror m Shanghai to Chongking. OUr remaining soliders group up in Beijing along with trained infantry from Taiwan. We attack from Beijing up Xuanhua to reach Erenhot. [Secret:We secretly send soliders trough HotHot to attack Erenhot, we will actually take a lot of the soliders in Beijing for this]. [MOD RESPONSE}
 * Mod reponse: Not trusting anything Chinese, none of the Indian countries accept. The offensive is a success, with the Mongols being driven back far and losing much territory.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: The government passes a law to outlaw political parties and groups intending to launch an eradication of humanity. Security across Korea sees an increase, and the GDP toward the military is increased to 1.5%. The armed forces sees another expansion, now having 430,000 total active personnel, with training for all the new recruits. With increasing tensions in East Asia and the world, the government begins to consider re-introducing conscription, and is debated in the National Assembly. [Secret] Meanwhile two nuclear ICBMs have been built so far. One of them is tested in the re-established Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site. [Mod Response on test] [End Secret] The Hyundai Motor Company slowly re-emerges as a major car producer in Korea, and dedicates itself to building more environmentally friendly cars than those ran on fossil fuels. Two new models are rolled out, the re-launched Hyundai Accent and the i60, which is a successor to the old Hyundai i30.
 * Mod reponse:The nuclear test is a resounding success.
 * Flag of the Nordic Kingdom.gif Nordic Kingdom: We end our silence on world affairs by issuing a declaration of neutrality in all conflicts. In response to the rise of the Awakened, we deploy special forces in all of our territory to hunt down and eliminate the terrorists.
 * Moon.pngPersia: This year a further 1,000,000 soldiers are equipped and sent to fight in China with the majority sent to Chengdu or Beijing to defend around the cities, along with a further 200,000 that were equipped last year. Persia now has 1.4 million troops in Beijing and 1 million in Chengdu. (Secret) These troops are put there to prepare for the pincer movement through China. However we cannot begin this until Mongolia takes Beijing, as they have refused to let us attack Beijing and last time they tried they lost every single one of their tanks and artillery, we tell them that if Mongolia has not successfully taken Beijing by 2069 we shall ignore them and attack it ourselves. Project Gulf now shifts focus to nanotechnology for our research, as it appears that gases are too dangerous. Also nanotechnology would be much more versatile. Despite this we are still looking at iron-oxide catalysts, just not corrosive gases (End Secret). We continue to build our rail line across Northern Egypt and begin plans to construct a drawbridge across the Suez Canal and we reiterate our offer to Arabia to connect lines across the Middle East (Mod Response). Two iron ire mines and a copper mine are completed this year bringing revenue to the areas in which they are built. A launch site for the Persian space agency is set up in the province of Semnan which will be used to launch two space stations next year. A military project to enlarge the Persian navy is put into place to build 15 new ships in 5 years is put into action. Finally as we are both monarchies, we would like to offer an alliance to Afghanistan, if they accept, we would also like to offer an extension of the high-speed rail network through Afghanistan to Kabul (Mod Response).
 * Mod response: Afghanistan accepts the offer.

2069
The infection reaches Canada after an Awakened bomb detonates in Tornoto, spreading the virus for miles. In China, capitalist Chinese forces have succeeded in repealing the Mongols from Beijing and the surrounding area.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceania: 10,000 more troops are sent to China to further accelerate the push into Mongolia. [Secret] Meanwhile, testing begins in India of the room-temperature freezing chemicals. If tests are successful they will be used to freeze Mongolian water supplies in a less than lethal war-tactic. [Mod Response] [Secret] More experimental laser weaponry and sonic artillery is shipped to China as well to continue perfecting the weapons. In Japan, UNVs continue to blockade Communist ports while destroying naval defences along the coast. [Secret] The Australian Space Command continues work on building a Kinetic Bombardment satellite. Meanwhile the captured former-Russian military satellites (two years ago) have been put to use after being revived and retrofitted with modern laser technology. They now hunt down Communist and Mongolian satellites, destroying them on sight. [Secret] In other news, the Navy begins Naval exercises with its West African allies in the East Indian ocean. This is facilitated by Oceania's Madagascan military base. On the civilian side of things, all hydroponic and algae farms are privatised. This quickly leads to increased competition between the 5 companies that the farms were sold to which leads to 4 new companies entering the market and a dramatic increase in the number of hydroponic farms across Queensland and the number of algae farms in the Pacific Ocean. The increase is large enough to single-handedly increase the Oceania GDP by 3%. Last but not least, asteroid mining is declared tax-free to any corporation world-wide that decides to headquarter in Oceania.
 * Mod response: The results of the text are promising. Were the weapon to be unleashed next year, it would yield 50% successful results. If the weapon continue to be tested for another two years, it will be able to achieve maximum success.
 * Indonesia: The blockade continues, with all civilian ships coming out of Canada being searched and if necessary evacuated before being destroyed at sea. The IAC Sulawesi is completed, and is immediately sent to reinforce the Chinese front with the usual carrier formation; meanwhile, the Indonesian Satellite Communications Agency is founded in order to finance Indonesian satellites in Lower Earth Orbit. [Secret] The ISCA is also now part of the Joint Emergency Federal Government, and its resources will be shared with all agents - now known as agents of the Continuity of Government Strategic Homeland Division - or simply Division Agents. [End Secret]. An extra 140,000 men are mobilised, with a large professional army of former mercenary units and private military organisations being created to assist the Republic of China in its fight. Tanks and arms continue to flow freely into the ROC.
 * Flag_of_South_Korea.svg Korea: Security continues to be high and both the coasts and Korean held islands are guarded heavily. Meanwhile the National Assembly passes a law re-introducing conscription, and is based fully on the old South Korean conscription prior to unification. In the meantime, development continues in the north and two highways begin construction, National Route 8 and 9.

2070
The Mongol Horde clearly begins to stagnate. Ontario and Quebec have been overwhelmed by infected humans, created a refugee crisis at America's northern border.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: [INSIDE JAPAN] Since the first strategy failed, we tell the Japanese nationalists to regroup and meet at Miyazaki, where a new strategy is to capture the province, and use it as a key factor for supply flows and military training. 50,000 NRU troops are stationed with the Japanese nationalists to capture Miyazaki. We record the success of this operation. [Mod Response] [END]. [WARSTANCE] Operation Yaqtue is a success, and the next major push is to gain the border between North Chad and North African Union, to set up another operation to split North Africa in two parts, thus giving an advantage over the North African Union. We record the success of blocking the border between North Chad and North Africa. [Mod Response]. Speaking of North Africa, the front is locked in a stalemate, and fighting continues in North African-controlled Libya. Thus blocking off the border between North Chad and North Africa seems like the best idea to do in this type of situation. [END WARSTANCE]. Meanwhile, Adebayo has been found dead at age 59, and his sister, Illi Adebayo, takes power as the emperor of the NRU. She continues the MIA doctrine, and continues improving infrastructure and the military. [Secret] She also wants to improve the life qualities in the NRU, as well as give greater freedoms to the people, while still remaining as a imperialist-nationalist country. Illi also plans to request a ceasefire between the North African Union and North Chad because of major opposition of the war. [End Secret].
 * Mod Response: The Nationalists, having lost faith in the NRU, decline and immediately create their own independent faction. They proceed to take all NRU arms and assist the other Japanese factions in kicking the NRU off Japanese soil. The border stoppage appears to succeed, but there is little to no effect, and mounting resistance drives casualties up to extreme levels due to overstretched supply lines.
 * Flag of the nile river union.jpg Nile River Union: Should of known this would happen. Go ahead, kick us off. We were gonna withdraw all troops in a year anyways. Plus, you were nothing but a puppet state of us to achieve another ally. We have our own war to focus on.
 * Moon.png Persia: 1 million Persians are equipped this year and 500,000 are sent to fight in China. The rest are kept in Persia for defense of our homelands. Persia has begun to tire of the war in China, especially with Mongolia’s continued failure to take Beijing. (Secret) We follow through with our promise that we would attack Beijing should Mongolia fail, using a similar tactic to the one used to attack Chengdu. 400,000 soldiers will attack the city whilst two columns, each 500,000 strong will move around the city to the coast, encircling it before troops move in to attack the city. These forces will be supported by large numbers of artillery tanks and a majority of the airforce (Mod Response/End Secret). Two Persian satellites are launched this year and construction begins on a high speed railway to Kabul in Afghanistan.
 * Mod response: The raid is a complete failure, with Persia losing 90% of their assault force to the superior China and their allies.
 * Flag of the Nordic Kingdom.gif Nordic Kingdom: After an Awakened member is arrested attempting to bomb Stockholm, we place a ban on all travel, including refugees. We invest in the prospect of military walkers, and dedicate an entire department of our military technology wing to exploring the concept.

2071
Infected humans overrun Canada, and the refugee crisis worsens. If the United States does not take action to address the migrants soon, they could as well face collapse. (CANADA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED) With global bovine populations on a downswing, the growing population of mutated rams has grown to replace the once monopolized meat industry. The largest concentrations of these rams can be found in the Middle East and Northern Mexico.
 * Flag of Oceania.png Oceania: Two years later, the room temperature freezing chemicals have been perfected. The chemical is deployed throughout the Sino-Mongolian front to freeze Mongolian water sources. At the same time, scorched-earth tactics are used to incinerate supply lines for Mongolian and Persian troops. Great care is taken to ensure no unnecessary civilian casualties occur, including sparing the majority of civilian farmland. The Persian and Mongolian militarises are secretly filmed (via satellites and high-altitude drones, as well as ground assets of MI6) and any and all atrocities committed including looting of civilian fields and resource stores, and the footage and images are broadcast on hijacked Mongolian TV channels, as well as via leaflets dropped by high altitude drones. Taking advantage of the recent heavy losses suffered by the Persians, a massive push is made into the Mongolian heartland, with sufficient troops maintaining the borderline (Player of China has control of the incursion). Meanwhile, building on earlier relations Oceanian troops hold joint military exercises with Iceland in the North Sea. At the same time, a permanent military base is built on Antarctica with the formal establishment of the Snow Marines, a spec-ops sub-division of the Marines. This is the result of many decades of training beginning with the previous administration's military-focus (Season 1). [Secret] A company of Snow-Marines enter Northern Canada via Hudson Bay. No military action is taken as this is merely an attempt by Oceania to gauge the seriousness of the situation in Canada. Scouts and scouting drones are sent out to investigate [Mod Response] [/Secret]. Last but not least, 3 business conglomerates (Mecanter Engineering, Hoover-Smith Inc, and Oliver Space) have come together to invest in a new company called Celestial Ores that is in fact the world's first asteroid mining company. Work to begin developing suitable infrastructure and equipment begins next year, but any construction is at least a decade away.
 * Moon.pngPersia: After the disaster at Beijing, Persia begins to reel back war effort in Mongolia, 250,000 soldiers are sent to Beijing however these are only there to prevent a Chinese advance, the 1,000,000 equipped soldiers are kept in Persia, all of our bombers are brought back and our military budget is brought back to %10, with most of this being used for research. After two years three destroyers have been built in our naval project.(Secret) We inform Mongolia that we will not be helping them with any advances into China until we have managed to rebuild the losses taken at Beijing. Our research team has discovered another promising chemical, however this one is a catalyst for the reaction of iron and oxygen, speeding up the process so that it will happen within hours, it is approved for testing (Mod Response/End Secret). Our high speed rail from Cairo is now completed as much as it can until Arabia responds to our requests, therefore we ask again, can Persia please build a railway through Arabian territory (Mod Response)?
 * ROC: With our army more empowered than ever we increase conscription by 20%. We state to every nation we have contact with to join the war aginst Mongolia, a torturer.(MOD RESPONSE) We send clpose to 250,000 troops trough HotHot to secure the city. Another 250,000 will be sent to HotHot after securing the Supply lines(MOD RESPONSE). We increase our presence in the Indian States goverments by supporting main political parties.(MOD RESPONSE) All out war is staged against Mongolia with our entire army advancing in every dierection after HotHot. They will go full thirst in a strike aginst UlanBattar in utmost rage. However if there is heabt casulties(over 100k) then we will hold our positions. All armored vechicles and artillery are used. Our remaining planes and rocket artillery is launched aginst the 250k Persian Troops. Our Oceanian troops are used to Invade Mongolia as well. (MOD RESPONSE)
