2040

 * Republic of Oceania: We begin construction of the Oceanian Republic Centre of Aerospace, or ORCA in the Australian Outback. It will cover 25 square kilometers of desert and allow the research and development of space flight. It is expected to be completed in 2041 given current funding and financial situation.


 * Russia:We ask for Belarus and Kazakhstan to join us, as we are all close allies. [Mod Response Required]


 * MOD RESPONSE: Kazakhstan has agreed, while Belarus remains unresponsive.


 * ASEAN: We begin a space program, and are constructing the ASEAN Centre of Aerospace, expected to be complete in late 2041 at the earliest. We ask the Oceanic Republic for an alliance and a joint space program (Oceanic Response Needed). We also ask Russia for an alliance. We start recruiting 1 million soldiers.


 * Republic of Oceania: We accept ASEAN's proposal for an alliance and joint space program. We are currently using our satellites to locate a suitable location on the moon for a colony. Astronaut and colonist candidates are also being selected.


 * MOD EVENT: The UK, and France have initiated an alliance with a joint space program. Japanese engineers have created a prototype trimix chemical fuel and a more efficient engine. This was announced in 2040, even though it was developed in the late 30's, giving the country a head start as many countries are using this in their space programs.


 * Germany: We start our space program. We recruit 30,000 troops and 245 astronaut candidates. We also recruit more engineers, scientists, and some experts to our space organization. We ask for alliance to Italy and Scandinavia [Mod Response Needed]. We also ask Poland to join us because they don't join any space program. We start research renewable energy.

Major Events

 * '''Italy and Scandinavia accept Germany's offer.
 * '''Both the ASEAN Centre of Aerospace and Oceanic Republic Centre of Aerospace are completed.


 * Oceanic Republic: We launch a few telecommunication satellites and several topographical satellites to orbit the Moon and find a suitable area for a lunar colony. We begin working on nuclear fusion reactors, and expect them to be up and running by 2042 earliest.
 * India : We request alliance with Russia and its alliance (response needed)
 * France: We recruit 300 cosmonauts to begin training, and begin work on a ship to reach the edges of the solar system . We ask Spain to merge as together we could share our knowledge, and become faster in our space race (Mod response needed)
 * '''Sorry France but that technology doesn't exist yet. Also, northern Spain merges with you, with the southern Spanish territories remaining sovereign as of a referendum.

Major Events

 * Southern Spain renames itself to the Kingdom of Andalucia after northern Spain merges with France.
 * Austria and Hungary merge, recreating the nation of Austria-Hungary.
 * Japan develops a new quadmix chemical fuel, which is 7 times more efficient than current prepulsion fuel.
 * France: We begin work on a space station specifically for France and allies we allow to use it. The station will accommodate 200 cosmonauts
 * Oceania: We set up a few research bases in Antartica and test a few middle defense systems there. We start working on an "Orbital Broom" which will clear the surroundings of Earth from space junk, making it safer for all satellites and rockets.
