2059
''' Nigeria becomes the only member of ISAWA to join the World Trade Organisation. This somewhat inspires questions throughout the West as to whether or not Nigeria is truly invested in its organisation's ideals as Nigeria instantly gains a trade deal with Canada and Brazil. '''

'''United Kingdom Prime Minister John Thumbleton begins waving about the possibility of the United Kingdom returning to the European Union, now a rump organisation only consisting of France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Ireland. This sparks chaos amongst the opposition Tories, who demand that he retract such statements, but he refuses.'''

''' North Africa suffers the worst drought in decades as scientists predict that global warming is beginning a reversal, sparked by the elimination of parts of the ozone layer above Africa, Antarctica and the Arctic Ocean. Tokyo, Shanghai and Tianjin see snow for the first time in decades. '''

''' A monk gains attention across the world when he burns himself to death in the middle of a Jakarta Highway. The monk, known simply as 'Indonesian Tibet', leaves behind extensive evidence of Indonesian Government oppression of Buddhist faith and civilians. '''
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The nation ensures the safety and protection of the AEAN, by allowing the AEAN forces to be granted with better technological advancements, as said in the AEAN alliance. The leader, Akane Nakamura, is from the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, which basically is a left winged political party. The commencing of planning to create technological naval and aerial fleets were secured with approval. [Secret] The nation's leader is actually secretly doing urgent planning to create a system of technological warfare, as the conference room is deciding to create 25 new aerial warfare craft, 12 new naval combat, and a satellite that is decades away from fruition. The nation's leader is also sending documents of these resources and hopes to AEAN that the technological era of this alliance can overcome the struggles of the nation (before you say it's implausible, it's actually planned to be finished in 2071, and the satellite will be finished in 6 decades from 2059 so i make this less implausible. Thanks and have a nice time) [End Secret]
 * Kuro: Lonix... Japan does not have Ls.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: A law is passed in the National Chamber requiring all recognised regional languages to be written using the Cyrillic script. Talks also begin on relocating the capital, as the current capital, Khabarovsk, is extremely close to Chinese borders. Meanwhile the Jewish Autonomous Oblast is dissolved and all of it is merged into Khabarovsk Krai. The budget for the military is boosted slightly, in aims for buying better weaponry instead of relying on several older weaponry, such as the AK-74 and AK-74M.
 * Moderator Event: The Arabian Civil War continues, ferocious as it has been for the last five years. Democratic East Arabian rebels begin an incursion into Riyadh, supported by India and Taiwan. The House of Saud continues to buckle under pressure as the recent loss of American support in 2056 results in continued losses to the rebels, pro-AEAN and anti-ISAWA.
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: Political parties of both sides of ideology have began ringing its bells as the election for Chancellor was fast-approaching by next three years. Right-wing parties have managed to enter the political sphere (but that’s for country-firsts and pro-MDP parties, Fasicists or Monarchist party are banned as usual), gaining supporters in the long run. But it may change as an outsider party known as Neue Deustche Freiheitpartei - or NDFP - began to picking its popularity and supporters due to its innovative, right-wing platform (with Strasserite and Huey Long-style policies) that is better than ‘old-style’ platforms offered by ‘mainstream’ right-wing parties as well as its charismatic leader of the NDFP named Hermann von Lutz, former Bundeswehr commander during the South American War and a gifted pianist known for his critical-acclaimed composition that gave him an nickname “Ultimativ Pianist” which was also used by his supporters as well. On Bundestag, the conservative CDU and (nominally)left-wing SDP is still each other’s throats for many issues they faced that there is no majority in Bundestag for an third row in a lifetime. But it may change as hotshot and handsome CDU politician named Schwarz Hagen began a campaign to end CDU-SDP rivalry as well as bringing an idea to merge together as an stop-gap for rising right-wing parties and the NDFP party itself. His idea instantly won support for both of the parties and forced the current German Chancellor Viktor Hoffman to resign as CDU chairman and gave its chair to Hagen, in which he began to negotiate with the SDP party of idea of merging together. For now, the rivalry continues. On the other hand, we began sending humanitarian aid and our specialists to North African nations just to alleviate its drought problem as well as offering the House of Saud the weaponry needed to win its grueling civil war itself[Mod response needed]. After years of producing, the German-American-Japanese production of an movie known as Der Ultimative (based on an near-obscured game known as New Danganronpa V3) was released worldwide with box-office hit and a cultural sensation (and memes as well) that we never expected. While it was an mediocre hit here in our country, it was cult hit for NDFP supporters because they’ve seen ‘aesops’ that are connected to their platform they (fiercely) supports, as well as approval by NDFP leader itself.
 * Flag of Saudi Arabia.png House of Saud: We graciously thank our German friends for the assistance that they have offered. May Allah's blessings come down upon both our nations. Thank you, or as it is in your language, danke dir.
 * Flag of Germany.png German Dip: Thank you for you all-out show support for us...[SECRET] What do they don’t know is that we’ve also supplied the rebels same as them. Except that these weaponry given to these rebels came straight from third-party weapons dealer working inside our defence industry, not on our hands (the government I mean).[END OF SECRET].


 * Holy State of Sarahwi and Morrocco:  The King supports the Weapon - To Citizen Association, But the Priest Does not, Causing a argument . The King then arrested the priest and called him a "Lunatic" And then that caused more conflict in the city of Surbabu , More and More people supported the Priest and the king then killed some citizens. And the General supported the Priest [CIVIL WAR] So the General Tried assassinating the King but the king caught him and shot the general killing him. Starting the March to the Civil War


 * Mod Response: This is my fault for not telling you in advance about your country, so apologies. But there will be no such civil war. I'm sorry.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Amidst German support for the House of Saud, the Indian government under PM Reyansh Gandhi of the Indian National Congress votes to increase funding and support for the East Arabian rebels. Despite using outdated weaponry, we send a force of 26,000 proud Indians to further help the East Arabian cause. [Mod Response Needed] With our economy continuing to grow, with GDP growth at 10.5% for last year, we begin making economic ventures into AEAN leaning countries such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the UAE, and Oman to hopefully bring them closer into the AEAN fold. We also implement increased funding to our science sectors, including biotech research and ISRO.
 * Democratic Arabian Forces: Thank you. We will never forget your support against the tyranny of the House of Saud. May our nations' friendship only ever continue to grow!
 * Indian Government Response: PM Gandhi responds with, "India will always fight for justice and democracy. By ending the rule of the House of Saud we, together, will make the world a better place. To East Arabia and India, excelsior!"
 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: The parliamentary election takes place on April. Centre Party becomes the largest party in the Parliament with 54 seats. National Coalition is following in the second place (47), while Social Democratic Party finishes at third (43) and Blue Reform gains more seats (27). The government is formed between two parties, Centre and National Coalition, with Henna Meriläinen (Chairman of the Centre) is elected as Prime Minister of Finland. The government has proposed to ban fossil-fueled vehicles, and replacing them with electric vehicles. Industries are encouraged to use renewable energy. Turku–Mariehamn–Stockholm Bridge is proposed, the bridge will connect Finland, Aland Islands, and Sweden through the Baltic Sea. This bridge will consist of several cable stayed bridges and undersea tunnels. The government is also planning to expand infrastructure in Northern Finland.
 * New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: Resources are distributed to areas hit by drought - at least the resources that are left over from frivolous events hosted by the clergy. As stores seem to be running low, especially on the edible side, a decision is tabled to construct large canals to irrigate the Sahara Desert, or at least parts of it, and begin agricultural activities for self sufficiency. However, this is expected to take a long time without the proper technology, which we do not have. Thus, we would like to call out to any nations willing to lend us a hand in advancing Allah's will of greening the Sahara. [Mod/Player Response Needed (or not)] The State begins reviewing the effectiveness of invading Tunisia to restabilise the nation after the atrocious actions of the ATO damaged our economy. An offer for unconditional white peace is offered to Tunisia, so resources may be redirected to more fruitful efforts. [Tunisian Response Needed]
 * Tunisian Diplomacy: We agree to peace, as the war is at a stalemate and continuing it would not be in the best interests of our country. We also agree to help fund the Sahara greening project, as we have our own project, and share the same goals, at least in that aspect.
 * Mod Response: Some of the Islamic Saharan nations agree to the hand in advancing Allah's will of greening the Saharan Desert. However, as most of ISAWA is incapable of producing such technology, Tunisia remains the only state capable of assisting Northwest Africa in this endeavour. ISAWA leaders from the Lower Islamic Union are outraged and demand that Northwest Africa immediately begin the war against Tunisia again.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: PM Thumbleton refuses to retract his controversial and somewhat insane suggestion to rejoin the largely defunct EU. In addition to that, his government continues to implement various neo-Socialist policies prescribed by the late leader of the Labour party Jeremy Corbyn. Suffice it to say, the effect of these policies over the last half decade is a rapid increase in wages for those who are working, but a rapid decrease in the number of people working. In accordance with historical patterns, the economy declines under Labour leadership. Support for Labour is rapidly decreasing, egged on by Tory attack ad campaigns. As general elections approach in 2060, Labour continues to bang up a narrative of oppressor and oppressed, while an alliance between the large portion of moderate opposition Tories and the centrist Liberal Democrat party known as the Alliance of Libertarians has begun a grassroots operation to bring back intellectual honesty and to prioritize the individual above all else. Largely as a result of the leftist backlash against far-right populism before and during the War, the far-right is basically non-existent in the coming election. Polls show a likely victory by the Alliance. Some context. The Alliance is largely centrist to Cameron-style centre-right (socially moderate left), and is economically conservative in support of free market economies. An interesting aspect of the Alliance campaign is the pledge to host weekly televised conversations between the greatest academics, thinkers, and speakers and to (in general) encourage and promote critical thinking and intellectual development of the citizenry. It is in a sense, an embracing of modern information technology. Even on the campaign trail, speakers are constantly invited to speak from an educated point of view and politicians enter debates with academics in stage with them to ensure accuracy of information. It is a radical change in debate style. No longer is it based on the ability to win the audience, it is based on the technical merit of the argument. This may be why the Alliance seems to be winning.
 * Mod Response: This is, again, largely my fault. Kemrii, in this map game, Labour collapsed in the late 2020s following a series of exposes by the Daily Mail and Telegraph. The UK does not have a Labour Party anymore. In addition, I don't see how Labour is responsible for economic decline regardless, as several searches reveal nothing of the sort. But regardless, this is my fault, and to apologise, I'm allowing the Moderate Tories, Alliance of LIbertarians and a third party, the United Kingdom Independence Party (far-right) to stay. This is my fault; I'm sorry for not informing you about your country before you joined the game.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svg Tunisia: Due to the ongoing drought, water restrictions on non-essential services in commercial areas are imposed, and water rationing is imposed on some of the most affected areas, mainly in the Medeinine and Tataouine Governorates. The peace agreed upon with the ISAWA is supported by most people, especially those in the border areas, who have grown weary of war. However, a few reactionaries oppose this peace, advocating for a Tunisian-led Maghreb established by force, however, those are a small minority of the Tunisian population, and do not represent the will of the majority. The Green Sahara scheme is passed in the Assembly, and calls for irrigation of the Sahara in order to turn it into useful, arable land. This project would use underground pipes similar to Libya’s Great Man-Made River, in addition to irrigation channels. The National Expressway scheme, similar to the German Autobahn and the US Interstate scheme, is also passed, further expanding the Tunisian highway system to connect all governorates and major cities. Construction of the A2, linking Western Tunisian cities with each other, as well as to the already-existing A1 highway near Gabes, is given the go-ahead. Expansions of Tunis-Carthage International Airport also begin construction, with the goal of turning the airport into an aviation hub rivalling Dubai and Singapore, and should be finished by 2068 at the latest. The entire nation is also declared to be a trade zone for all, with every country able to do trade here, regardless of their political affiliations and alliances. Corporate tax is dropped to 20%.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The parliamentary election sees the Liberal Party win the majority of seats. The recent economic growth has been impressive but many ordinary Ukrainians do not experience the benefits of it. More social welfare programs are enacted by the Verkhovna Rada. Infrastructure projects to continue to modernize Ukraine's roads, railways, buildings, and so forth are also accepted. High-speed electric train lines will be upgraded throughout Kiev, so-called "Euro City" lines, as well as "Inter City" routes that connect Kiev with Odessa, Lvov, Kharkov, Donetsk, Nikolaev, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernigov. Existing railways will all be upgraded over the next decade to be able to use the high speed trains. The government also starts looking into federalizing the country along the lines of Switzerland, with proposals of creating a "Confederation of Ukraine." This would give each region more autonomy. They are supported by the Liberal Party and opposed by the traditional right wing Ukrainian groups. This would give Russians, Hungarians, Poles, and others more rights as well. In foreign policy, the Liberal government is considering options to normalize relations with Russia and end tensions. The military budget is lowered, and the armed forces will be downsized from around 204,000 troops to a permanent strength of 177,289 for the foreseeable future. Out of those, the Ukrainian Ground Forces will have 80% of the personnel, while 15% are in the Ukrainian Air Force and the remaining 5% in the Ukrainian Navy. The naval forces in particular will be downgraded mainly for coastal patrol duties.

2060
''' The company Contraline becomes the first legal seller of contraceptives in Nigeria as the country begins splitting out of ISAWA, much to the dismay of several ISAWA nations. Already, the country faces threats of being invaded or attacked by other members, but Nigeria continues to drift from ISAWA, starting talks with South Africa and Madagascar on trade. '''

'''Alleged Chinese operatives are caught flat-footed in Taiwan attempting to assassinate President Xing Xi-Ma. This sparks anger against China in the country, and puts the ceasefire in the Sino-Japanese-Taiwanese War at question.'''

''' Paramilitary groups in Siberia launch several terrorist attacks against the Siberian government. In response, the Siberian government enacts martial law in Norosibirsk. One notable group, named the 13th Parallel, incites further Siberian fears by engaging in the first known incident of region-wide system hijacking, its leader, known only as Number One, hacking into large numbers of electronics within the country to threaten the Siberian government. '''

''' The House of Saud loses Riyadh in the Arabian Civil War after making a bold advance attempting to break through the rebel siege. Allegations that Germany is funding the rebels as well as the House of Saud at the same time flood the world, but with only isolated pictures and no acknowledgement from the German government, there is no confirmation. '''
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany:The alleged and un-official reports of the German Government funding the losing side of Saudi Civil War cause controversy in its political sphere, as well increased scrutiny by Hermann “Ultimativ Pianist” von Lutz and his NDFP supporters who saw these illicit activities done by the so called ‘Establishment’ between the current parties who have a seat in Bundestag as well as ‘hypocritical’ emerging right-wing parties as well. The said NDFP party have greatly increased its presence, popularity and members with an estimate (not official, though) number of members of 2.7 million party members and mostly centered in German regions of Bavaria, Baden-Württemburg, Saarland, Berlin and other major-cities around this country, and its influence have began to spread unto neighboring countries of France, Austria, Netherlands and Belgium with the help of Hermann’s second-in-command, Wehrmacht officer cap wearing and former Bundeswehr colonel during the South American war known as Karl Müller and the release of the official party flag (see the comments section - Burgundy) become more popular than the official flag of ours, Monarchist flag and more. While there is no official word of who will be the candidate of Chancellor election by the next two years, it seems that Hermann von Lutz is increasingly becoming the Chancellor candidate for the NDFP due to his popularity and his endearing charisma. Meanwhile, after multiple negotiations undertaken by CDU chairman Schwarz Hagen, the rivalry between CDU-SDP has finally ended and both parties have agreed to merge their parties by near-end of the year, but the results of it is unknown for us[Mod response of merging success]. [SECRET] Seems that the House of Saud have begun to loose its control that made us worthless of sending them our weaponry, we decided to cut their ties and instead supply our weaponry to the rebels and continue our use of third-party weapons dealers in our defence industries to prevent scrutiny in this nation[END OF SECRET]. Due to cult popularity of our movie Der Ultimativ, Japanese-game developer SpikeChunsoft decides to re-release - in a handsomely German translated language - the New Danganronpa V3 into this country, further increasing its German fans and reinvigorated the NDFP supporters alike (due to its aesops of their idea they fiercly supports).
 * Mod Response: The 2 German parties (Socialist Democratic Party and the Christian Democratic Union) unite into 1 party with both beliefs enacted into the new political party, known as the Christian Democratic Socialist Union (CDSU). In addition, a terror attack strikes the first rally of the new party, with NDFP rhetoric looking increasingly likely to take the blame. The NDFP, whose party members are also beginning to be seen as fringe, begins to be investigated for links to outlawed Neo-Nazi parties.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Logistical support to democratic rebels in Arabia are sent, along with up to date weaponry and machinery, in the hopes that may sway the rebels to be ATO-aligned. [Mod Response] The Guam Exclusion Zone is created, with the purpose of protecting American interests in the Pacific, and is expected to be complete by 2065. Information is scarce, but effectively it turns Guam into an impenetrable fortress, and land reclamation projects on the island will turn it into a prime area for development, and in turn, GDP and economic growth. In the 2060 elections, the Conservative Party wins in a landslide, capturing the House, Senate, and Presidency, forming cracks in the once dominant Democratic Party, as progessives and moderates begin to form factions within their own party. Tim Zamora, a moderate elected to the Presidency in a tenuous race, begins a more aggressive foreign policy, including the Quad Plan, saying Eastern Europe, the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and South America are crucial to the preservation of the ideals of democracy. [secret] The DoD begins work on robcons, artificial intelligence programmed to be "conscious", and feel human emotions and human ideals and dreams. The hope is to create a perfect killing machine, but also capable of human thought and emotion in the case a moral dilemma or near-impossible situation arises. [end secret] [new secret] In Panama, the CIA begins work on organizing an ATO-friendly resistance against the government, and we hope for it to gain traction, and under the guise of anonymity, reach out to businessmen, dissatisfied bureaucrats and military officials, drug lords and powerful gang leaders, with the prize of more influence, power, and money if they join the resistance and promise loyalty. Codenamed Operation Hale. [end secret] An economic union with Canada and Mexico is in the works by Zamora, to increase cooperation between our three states, including proposals designed to create jobs and provide sustainable growth, as well as a possible monetary union (the amero) by 2070. We need to know if Canada and Mexico would be open to such proposals. [Mod Response]
 * Mod Response: Canada agrees to the offer of the union for economic purposes, but Mexico asks for more time to think.
 * Democratic Arabian Forces: When we asked, you came to our aid, to protect the spark that has lit in this country. Thank you, America; we will never forget. Your assistance is dearly thanked.


 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Industrialization efforts begin to construct new ideas by the leader in place, as the ceasefire may break by the Chinese president, or end up being broken by Chinese assassins who tried to assassinate the Taiwanese president. [Secret] Akane Nakamura congregates with the National Diet (legislature of Japan), and plans out a defensive tatic and a way to supply and aid Taiwan if a full scale Chinese aggression attack comes to play [End Secret]. The nation is planning to train the Japanese troops in case a Chinese full scale invasion breaks out and catches the Japanese troops off guard. 460,000 soldiers are sent to the Japanese-Chinese coastline, as well as establishing fortifications for the soldiers to train and prepare for a ambush if the Chinese decide to attack from the area. However, this plan could fail, as the Chinese has the entire Moscow Defensive Pact on their side, aiding the Chinese with supplies and troops, so the Chinese could break the fortifications. So Akane orders the plan to be scrapped, removing many fortifications and sending the soldiers home to their houses and their families. However, the training still continues, as the leader is mostly paranoid of losing the war and having their great nation under the banner of the Chinese and the communist ideological beliefs to destroy the economy. The effects of the training are not available until the Chinese decide to break the ceasefire, so they can show that they are ready for the fight and not surrender to the Chinese, to prove that they have the upper hand. Akane makes a speech to the military, declaring the official training to fight if the Chinese come and attack them to begin, and many people began to train hard, in order to stay strong and end the communist nations (i said that a lot, but ehhhh). Meanwhile, some Japanese businesses are growing the stock market, which the stock markets grow the Japanese are heavily reliant on (next to the trading mechanics), and continues to grow the economy steadily, which also contributes to the technological advancements and the militaristic growth of the nation. The economic wealth also contributed to the members of AEAN to advance technologically and economically, and the alliance is mainly for economic and technological advancements, while supporting each other if the Moscow Defensive Pact attacks one of the members.
 * Flag of Taiwan.png Taiwan: We are outraged that our Chinese counterparts attempted to kill the democratically elected leader of our country... one right, we must add, they have forsaken their own citizens. No rest will be given to the wicked. The Taiwanese Intelligence Agency today releases the location behind several Chinese shell companies and military arms deals across the world, and if need be, we will defend the democracy that China has thus far forgotten... by taking away the very source of China's fascism. For as they say in Christian text, 'money is the root of all evil.'
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The relocation of the capital is underway after an agreement was reached in the National Chamber, with Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Kamchatka Krai established to be the new capital for the nation. With recent events happening, the military is put on high alert, and the government refuses to get involved as they are committed to self-defence only. A studio in Vladivostok begins creating a music-based series, known as Hundred Stars Pro, that combines J-pop and Russian hardbass. Infrastructure is invested in with some more roads being built and some new highways are planned to be established. Another project also emerges that plans to introduce high speed trains and new railway lines.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The Verkhovna Rada adopts a resolution that will reform the government to more of a Swiss Confederation model, with regions being given more autonomy. President Roman Gontyuk approves the document, as does Prime Minister Vasyl Krylenko. These reforms are going to be completed by 2070 according to the projections of the government. The public is largely supportive of this measure, but there are some protests by far right Banderite groups. Additionally, the government will increase the quality of healthcare, which is free for all citizens but has historically been poor quality. More money from the military budget is appropriated for this, hopefully will further increase the living standards and average life expectancy of Ukrainians. Infrastructure projects continue, with the Euro City high speed rail lines throughout Kiev being upgraded, and the Inner City high speed railway being built from the capital to the other major cities decided on last year. After these lines are complete more cities will be linked by the Inner City lines, which are high speed, but currently are serviced by the standard speed Regional Lines between cities and the Local Lines to connect small villages and towns. The budget of Ukrainian Railways is increased as well. Despite the protests of the Social Conservative Party, the military is reformed slightly by President Gontyuk. The regular army will be further downsized but the Ukrainian National Guard, charged with home defense, will train conscripts for one year to be reservists that can be called upon to serve in times of war. Again, this follows the Swiss model. So far about 12,000 personnel have been demobilized, bringing the military to 192,000 men. The new National Guard will have a permanent strength of 35,000 men and will have 64,000 conscripts undergoing the mandatory service at any given time. The Ukrainian Navy is set to receive new fast artillery boats for patrol duties by 2070, while the Ukrainian Air Force is researching new fighter jet and bomber models. Tourist attractions in Kiev are also promoted abroad by the government to increase foreign tourism in Ukraine. Kiev will be made into a "city of the future" in an initiative by the Kiev City government, by incorporating new technologies into its functions. The Euro City rail system is part of this.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The General Election is over and a new government is formed. The former PM is replaced by a new head of the Conservative Party who is a vocal supporter of libertarianism and intellectual honesty. He forms a super-majority government with the help of the libertarian Lib Dems. A handful of novel new policies are implemented as promised on the campaign including but not limited to: bi-weekly public debates between experts, academics, and great thinkers; renewed funding for the humanities, sciences, and universities in general; a massive overhaul of the education system. At the same time, the government budget is kept in check by enacting other promised policies such as a reduction in social welfare. In accordance with campaign promises, 30% of money saved from reducing social welfare is spent on worker retraining, employer-employee matching, and other measures with the theme of, as the PM would put it, "Don't give a man fish, teach him how to fish". Meanwhile, [Secret] the MoD has been instructed to revive War-time research into autonomous and remote-controlled weaponry including aircraft, naval craft, and ground vehicles as well. Additionally, preliminary research into concentrated energy weapons have begun though results are expected not any time soon as this is an entirely new field. [/Secret] The British intelligence agencies are given a budget-boost and the Joint Intelligence Agency is given more power ti coordinate inter-agency intelligence gathering and sharing. Meanwhile, the Joint Defence Agency is established to do the same for the various bodies of the British Military. [Secret] Dozens of MI6 sleeper agents MDP territory are activated to assist their already activated colleagues. Meanwhile, the GCHQ is coordinating with the MoD with a significant possibility of forming a non-civilian, military branch known as the Cyber Force which would be on par with the Marines, Army, Navy, and Air Force in terms of organisational hierarchy. [/Secret]
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: President Youssef Ben Ali condemns the Chinese government for trying to assassinate the Taiwanese President, however, nothing is done to restrict China’s access to Tunisian ports, and no sanctions are imposed, to keep our stance as a “Trade Zone for All Nations”. With newfound peace with the ISAWA, we pull most of our millitary from the border regions, and begin re-establishing ties with ISAWA nations. Work on the Green Sahara project begins, with irrigation channels and pipelines undergoing construction, mostly on coastal desert areas for now. Meanwhile, work on expanding the Tunisian highway system continues, and several parties, mostly in the Social Democratic coalition, have drafted plans for a complete overhaul of Tunisian infrastructure, calling for the already existing Green Sahara and Tunisian Expressway schemes to be combined with other proposed schemes, such as upgrading existing rail lines and building more, to accommodate a high-speed rail line akin to the Japanese Shinkansen, as well as expanding the coverage and quality of healthcare and education, redesigning major cities such as Tunis, Sousse, Sfax, and Gabes to be more walkable, green, and lively, and aiming to drastically reduce pollution levels and greenhouse gas emissions. Although this plan has received much positive praise, many conservatives say that this plan will cost too much for Tunisia to finance and maintain in the future, and that it will lead to massive tax hikes. This matter will be voted on next year.

2061
''' Allegations that the MDP is funding the German NFDP for their own personal gain, and to destabilize the ATO have surfaced, and an investigation into the NFDP has started. Said investigation finds several top echelons of the NFDP guilty of colluding with Russian, Saudi, and Chinese groups, and a possibility of MDP meddling in German politics has risen. This causes the NFDP to be vilified in German media, and tensions between the ATO and MDP to reach a tipping point. '''

''' The ATO begins advancing onto the State of Brazil, capturing much of its coastline, including the principal Atlantic port city of Belem, cutting Brazil off from outside trade. Incursions into Bolivia also occur. '''

''' Nigerian President Komo Olaiju begins floating ideas of a withdrawal from the ISAWA during a diplomatic visit with South Africa, causing tensions with the neighboring Lower Islamic Union to be at an all-time high. Nigeria also begins distancing national laws away from Sharia law, with it abolishing the harsh penalties on minor crimes such as theft, as well as removing the death penalty for apostasy and homosexual acts. '''

''' The 13th Parallel begin causing major chaos in Siberia, hacking into the central power grid supplying the entirety of the Eastern Russian Republic and State of Siberia, cutting power to almost all of both nations between April 30 and May 19. 13th Parallel leader “Number One”, although refusing to reveal his name to the public, states his Yakut ethnicity, and his goal to “remove the Slavic European Oppressors from this great realm, and reclaim Siberia for Siberians”, and begins to call for a militant deposition of the “Slavic elite” and genocide of ethnic Russians. '''

''' Several suicide bombing occur along Peachtree Avenue, in downtown Atlanta, killing 337 people and injuring 504. This is the deadliest terrorist attack to take place on US soil since 9/11, and rekindles fears on Islamic terrorism, as the perpetrators of the attacks were recorded to have shouted “ALLAHU AKBAR” before their bombs detonated. '''


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government condemns the raid and the military is put on high alert across the nation. A larger budget is made towards self-defence and cyber security in light of recent events. The government requests aid from Japan and the AEAN to track down the hacker. [Mod/Player Response] A secret service organisation, known as the Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency (Разведывательное Управление Восточной России (PYBP)), is established aimed towards foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, and internal security. The government begins considering a possible option to steer-away from using the military as a self-defence only.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan Diplomacy: Aid accepted. The government begins to track the hacker, either from the corrupted nationalists in the Moscow Defensive Pact, or computer programmers from ISAWA.
 * Flag of Singapore.png Singapore, Flag of Taiwan.png Taiwan: We send cyber personnel to assist the Eastern Russian government with tracking the individual(s) responsible for the attack.


 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The government condemns the Moscow Defensive Pact for trying to make the 2 German political parties amalgamate to form a possible Fourth Reich nation. As that was happening, the nation plans on sending governmental aid to the Germans (not the political party) to substantiate against the suspicious movement of the uprising political party. Meanwhile, the nation continues to expand the free-market allegations, as well as creating new jobs and construction projects for new material. Another plan was to consolidate the main Japanese land, as well as do some conveyance to the main Japanese forces to Sakhalin, if the Chinese either attack from there or in other words, attempt to consolidate Japanese mainland. The Taiwanese government is getting more sustenance from the AEAN governments and the Japanese. Meanwhile, the nation is holding a flag referendum, because of the Japanese flag becoming more irrelevant to the rising sun, and will instead be replaced by a yellow Sun, to resemble the shining Sun on the lands of Japan, and sky blue to resemble the sky. Yellow rays are also gonna be used to resemble the Sun's rays. A vote is determined if the change will happen [Mod Response]. [Secret] The nation is congregating about producing more weaponry, in case the Chinese, or anyone in the MDP decides to break the ceasefire, by training the soldiers even harder, by learning the stands of the gun accuracy, and tank accuracy, by training the accuracy on the coastline of Hokkaido near the waters of the Sea of Japan. Tank training is also settled in Sakhalin. [End Secret]. The Japanese also heard about the recent terrorist attack on Atlanta, and sends support and fundamental aid to America in hopes for reconstruction and hopes for the blessing of America and the future of the nation [America Response]. The government also contemplates that the ISAWA states, or some other Islamic states from either the House of Saud, or other Islamic regional states. A investigation is declared by the Japanese, and approved by the leader of the nation.
 * Flag of the United States.svg American Dip: We thank Japan for their aid, and a small, new monument is being constructed next to the Japanese consulate in Atlanta to celebrate the relationship between our two nations.
 * Bbc-logo-black-and-white.png British Broadcasting Corporation: This is breaking live from Medina... the Saudi government has collapsed. We have no idea what's going on as of the moment, but it appears that the late king Mohammed Bin Salman was killed in an airstrike by the DAF, and his children are ordering strikes against one another as we speak. Updates will come soon.
 * Update: We now have received confirmation for the death of King Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, and it appears that his youngest child, Mohammed bin Said, she was apparently imprisoned two years ago after declaring herself transgender, has indeed escaped from prison, now going by the name Amalia Said. The Saudi royal family are picking up arms against each other, with Bin Salman's children attempting to kill each other at this very moment. It appears that Mecca's holy sites have become battlegrounds and Medina is becoming a stronghold for Bin Salman's oldest son, Bin Abdallah, who is indeed in control of most arms from the German military given to the House of Saud.
 * CCP Flag.png China: We firmly reject the idea that we were responsible for the attempt on the life of the Taiwanese President. Communist hardliner Jinhao Qi is elected President.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Nevertheless, you'll have to face investigations from the Japanese Intelligence Agency (JIA), and the agency will report back if your guilty of a attempted assassination or your innocent. [Mod Response on Results].
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: We deny any involvement with the terrorist attack in the United States, and send our condolences to the families of the dead and injured. Meanwhile, reports have been received our intelligence that the suicide bombers have ties to Nigeria, and may be a bid to garner international support for a potential Nigerian exit from ISAWA. [Secret] Merely fake news to maintain our reputation. [End Secret] In a statement by the Holy Leader, Yusuf Taiyoob, he mentions that "we, the New Islamic State of Northwest Africa, are not like our predecessors. We do not aim to carry out Allah's will through such dishonest practices. Islam was never such a religion of violence, and never will be. Terrorists claiming to praise Allah while destroying the lives of innocent men, women and children are not true practitioners of this religion, and are a disgrace to it." In other news, open religious debate is encouraged in Algiers and Nouakchott, to advance the state of Islam to a more modern mindset while still embracing the teachings of Allah, as well as nurturing future generations of pious Muslims who will follow the correct path. The Lower Islamic Union is reminded that Tunisia, as a fellow Islamic nation, is not an enemy to the ISAWA, and should be one of us instead. Any notion of Islamic nations fighting other Islamic nations is wrong. Historically, the Islamic religion was split between Sunni and Shia for generations, and look where that got us. Investments are made to improve living standards in major cities, as part of a project to get the manufacturing industry in Northwest Africa off the ground. We would also like to request a trade deal with Tunisia, where raw minerals and materials would be traded for industrial technology for the industrialization of Northwest Africa. [Tunisian Response Needed] Meanwhile, a meeting is requested with the other ISAWA member states to reach an agreement on Tunisian involvement in the Green Sahara Project and general industrialization for self sufficiency, as well as the Nigerian exit from the bloc. [ISAWA Member States Response Needed]
 * ISAWA Council: We strongly warn Northwest Africa to never make peace with the infidels... for if you do so, we will have no choice but to consider you as one of them. We will chase you and the traitorous scum that you would be to the ends of the earth and we will smash your lies into ash as Allah requests of us. The same goes for Nigeria. We commend the Lower Islamic Union and its loyal followers of the Prophet Mohammad for never bowing to the European and American scum that dare to oppose us.
 * Tunisian Diplomacy: We wholeheartedly accept this trade deal, and hope that this deal is the beginning of the path to reconcilliation and a good relationship with the New Islamic State of Northwest Africa.
 * Flag of the United States.svg American Dip: Nevertheless, the CIA and FBI begin investigations into the suicide bombers, and whether Northwest Africa or Nigeria had anything to do with the suicide bombers. [Mod Response]
 * Logo of the CIA.png Central Intelligence Agency: We can, without a doubt, confirm that Nigeria is completely innocent of this crime, with the bombers being recruited through the internet by Lower Islamic Union agents.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: PM Mycroft House condemns the MDP's interference in German politics and states rather offhandedly in an interview on the anniversary of his government that he has no love for the NFDP. In other news, the PM expresses his condolences for the attacks in Atlanta, America. In a separate statement, the government reaffirms its support for the war in South America and announces an additional 20 aircraft and a convoy of 5 destroyers would be deployed to the region to assist in the war effort. Alongside this, new models of remote-control drones are deployed in active combat as well. The technology is built upon the UAV tech of the first half of the century but it has been expanded to include bombers, fighter jets (remotely piloted by pilots at air bases), and suicide drones that can infiltrate compounds for minimal casualty attacks. [Secret] In addition to that, experimental aircraft entirely piloted by AI are also deployed, though they are overseen by human overseers at base camp, equipped with emergency override. The Military is also issuing prototype Augmented Reality goggles to British troops deployed into battle, and the technology is already quite well developed thanks to massive spending on R&D during the war. As a rough introduction, the technology functions in conjunction with aerial drones and satellites capturing information about battle situations, relaying the info to base-camp where powerful servers compute the data and feed it to all necessary handlers and commanders, and then relayed to the headsets thus providing an augmented reality overlay onto the observed environment for the soldier. The effect is that of digital information overlayed onto the real world. The military is experimenting with turning the technology into contact-lenses as the viability of ultra-thin screens becomes ever closer. [/Secret] Meanwhile, the Joint Intelligence Agency and Joint Defence Agency have fully converted the British Intelligence and Defence databases into massive de-centralised systems with extensive internal separation, firewalls, and emergency air gaps, thus insulating the British National Security electronics systems from cyber attacks. Already, similar projects are being undertaken to massively update the cyber security of the police force, national services, and utilities of the nation to mitigate and insulate the effects of a potential cyber attack. Last but not least, the GCHQ is working with MI6 to track down the Siberian and East Russian militants known only as the 13th Parallel. [Mod Response]
 * GCHQ-M16 Task Force: We'll get it done fast enough. Bollocks, it is that time of year, innit? We'll be mopping up this Vodka-drinker in no time! Thanks for putting the chaps together, Minister! Drink's on us gents tonight!


 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: In response to the ATO-MDP tensions breaking out over Germany, the Liberal government of Ukraine is considering declaring neutrality. As Ukraine has been trying to improve relations with Russia proper, many Ukrainian politicians do not want the country to become a warzone in a war between the great power blocs. With the President's approval, Prime Minister Krylenko is preparing to ask the Verkhovna Rada to vote on whether or not to continue ATO membership, and in the meantime, Foreign Minister Vitaliy Raevsky is sent to Moscow to negotiate with the MDP. He asks the Russian government what conditions they would want in return for a normalization of relations with Ukraine and a guarantee of respecting Ukraine's independence. [MOD RESPONSE] But just in case President Gontyuk gives the order to place the Ukrainian Armed Forces on high alert, with leave being cancelled and the Defense Ministry preparing to call up reservists if hostilities occur. This state of alertness is kept secret from the public to keep everyone calm. The government hopes to avoid any war but takes this as a precaution. Furthermore, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reaches out to the Eastern Russian Republic and the Siberian State, and asks to establish diplomatic relations between Ukraine and these countries. [Player/Mod Response] The Euro City lines in Kiev are completed, with another project underway to expand the size and quality of side walks, also creating large pedestrian-roads throughout the capital. At the same time it is planned to preserve as much of the city's historical architecture as possible during these projects. Throughout the country, the Inner City high speed railways are still undergoing construction.
 * State of Siberia: We accept a delegation from Ukraine, and graciously thank the country for such diplomacy in times of crisis.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: President Alexi Miyamoto-Orlovsky accepts the establishment of diplomatic relations.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russian Federation: How do we know this is not another Trojan horse being sent into the heart of our country? Da, we'll laugh ourselves to death before the day that Ukraine coming to us with peace isn't an attempt to destabilise our country. [Secret: We are thankful that Ukraine is setting up diplomatic relations, but to prevent any public outcry, we have to work from behind the scenes. Thank you.]


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: Despite their popularity, the NDFP becomes vilified in German public eyes after allegations that the party is sock-puppeted by MDP agents itself. For NDFP supporters, the allegations only angers them and as a result, their rhetoric against the German Government is now in full-swing, especially in regions where they hold fiercly (i.e: Bavaria). Investigations by the German government is also on full-swing in order to uncover if who’s contacts the NDFP fron the outside as well in the inside. On the other hand, the campaign for Chancellor have begun and this time it was more fierce than ever. CDSU have fielded their Chancellor candidate, Schwarz Hagen (after the current Chancellor Viktor Hoffman decides not to run again after failing to control the NDFP rise) that campaigns for numerous reforms that were point-of-contentions by the NDFP supporters itself. While he managed to get support from that intensive campaigning. Then, in one cold morning, Schwarz Hagen was suddenly found dead in his private home in Hamburg. Nobody knows how he died, but the German government have begun investigating for a possible murder after strange marks was found in his neck and what motives for his murder[Mod response needed]. In the meantime, we asked our fellow ATO members - especially the United States - to send some ‘advisors’ in order contain the situation we couldn’t control and also help on investigation on the death of Schwarz Hagen for possible clues.[Player response GREATLY needed]. Also, we are planning to ban New Danganronpa V3 because of the NDFP silent popularity that alienates ordinary German players away from the game and asked Japan to tell SpikeChunsoft to stop any game and destroy its printed game to prevent falling it into NDFP’s hands[Mod/Player response needed].
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States Armed Forces/Dip: American embassies and consulates in Germany attempt to control the situation, while American soldiers in bases in Germany are put on high alert. From an ATO base in Iceland, the United States Navy secretly begins conducting regular tests and exercises in the North Atlantic, especially near the Netherlands and Germany. We warn the NDFP any collusion with the MDP will result in severe consequences, and in a secret meeting with France, the United Kingdom, and perhaps most vulnerable, Poland, what to do in the case the NDFP gains complete control and joins the MDP. [Mod/Player Response]
 * Tunisian Dip: We agree to look into the situation, as this may be the last chance we get to averting a potential end in the status quo and start of another world conflict.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Zamora's administration begins selling weapons to Democratic forces in Arabia, as well as offer a generous arms deal that would benefit the forces greatly. [Mod Response] In response to the recent, sad attacks in Atlanta, Zamora declares "a war on extremism", saying those responsible will pay dearly for it. A memorial is being constructed in Atlanta. [secret] In Panama, we begin to build a strategic web of important businessmen, disgruntled bureaucrats, crime lords, and military officers whether they would like to join an American led resistance against the authoritarian Panamanian government, and gain power and influence once an ATO friendly government is put in place. [Mod Response, end secret] We ask Greece whether they would like to join ATO, considering they are next to a possibly aggressive and authoritarian Turkey, as well as Russia just across the Black Sea. We inform Greece that not joining ATO may be a life-or-death situation. [Mod Response] With Canada on board with the idea of a "North American Union", we ask Canada to approve it, making our two great nations closer together and stronger than ever before. [another mod response, lol] The Non-Human Consciousness Act is passed with surprisingly bipartisan support. The NHCA prevents individuals from creating any "conscious" artificial intelligence, (consciousness is defined by the NCHA by 7 pages of extremely long and detailed wording, impossible to get into here). Organizations listed under the IRS and approved by Congress may work on developing a conscious artificial intelligence, and the federal government may too. In Brazil, we celebrate with the Free Brazilians, and this newfound victory spawns the military to send more support, including air strikes against Federation Forces, as well as the introduction of the CAS (Conscious Artificial Solider), an enduring machine able to detect friendly forces, shoot at unfriendly ones, and detect civilians and non-human targets. It is never connected to the Internet, so it is nearly impossible to "hack" them, and they may be shut down by generals and commanders. A few battalions made up of CAS and human infantry is sent to the front line in Brazil for testing. With Belem secured, a US garrison is sent there to ensure it stays in ATO hands. We continue work on the Guam Exclusion Zone. President Zamora authorizes the split of NASA, a military space research agency, called the Aeronautics Research Corps (ARC), is split and tasked with the task of creating viable space machinery, weapons, and vehicles. NASA also begins work on "The Loop", a possible space station viable for habitation, as well as a variety of scientific uses. Amtrak, as a SOE, begins work on a national hyperloop system, working with American transportation and hyperloop companies. A hyperloop from New York to Boston will be completed first. Once the National Hyperloop System is complete, a trip from New York to Los Angeles should take an hour or less. The USPS is also privatized, under an Act of Congress. With the threat of climate change creeping up on America, a plan to have all of America's power supply be coal and oil free by 2075 is set up by Congress. Deregulation of tech corporations begins, and the corporate tax rate, sky high from years of Democrat rule, is lowered dramatically by the Conservative-controlled Congress. This should help convince companies and corporations to move to America.
 * Democratic Arabian Forces: We gladly thank America for the support. We are immeasureably thankful for the spreading of democracy across Arabia.
 * [Secret] Flag of Panama.png Free Pananamian Coalition: We are conflicted. Among our ranks, we are all supportive of the drive to break free from the yoke of the Federation! But surely you remember what has occurred in the past between our two countries. The former policymakers and politicians among us are supportive, of course, as are many of the businessmen. The crime lords... well, those that aren't already in power under the puppet that is the current government are still crime lords! We will accept, but surely you could reconsider the part about helping the crime lords that plague our nation at every turn, yes?
 * Flag of Greece.png Greece: We ask for more time to think about the situation, and choose to hold a referendum, which results will be released in 2062.
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: Canada approves of the North American Union, and hopes that this will begin a stronger relation with our 2 neighbours.


 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The Tunisian Infrastructre Overhaul plan is passed narrowly, with the vote more or less being split on party lines. Upgrades of Tunisian rail lines to accomodate high-speed bullet trains, as well as expansion of the rail system begins, and government subsidization of solar panels is put in place, allowing lower-income citizens to afford renewable energy. Urban renewal also begins. The Tunisian tourism board also ramps up advertising outside the country, hoping to increase revenue from tourism. Initial construction of irrigation pipelines across the Sahara as part of the Green Sahara project also continues. We commend the New Islamic State of Northwest Africa for taking the initiative of re-establishing peace in the Maghreb, and denounce the Lower Islamic Union as “extremist terrorists that have no place in modern society”. Tunisian diplomatic support and foreign aid is also granted to those members of ISAWA taking the initiative to not be cowed into submission, and stand against the extremists of the Lower Islamic Union, such as Nigeria and Northwest Africa, and ask them if we can establish embassies in Algiers and Abuja in return for inviting them to establish embassies in Tunis [PLAYER/MOD RESPONSE]. President Youssef Ben Ali is also planning diplomatic trips to Northwest Africa and Nigeria to further cement relations. In other news, we officially add the 13th Parallel to the Tunisian catalog of terrorist groups, following the attacks on Siberia and Eastern Russia.
 * Nigeria: We agree to set up an embassy in Tunisia and vice-versa. Peace is for the better of all our nations.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: The establishment of Tunisian embassies in Algiers is largely welcomed by the State, although those who do oppose it do so violently, so much as causing public protests. The Northwest African embassy in Tunis is also good to go.


 * Flag of France.png France: The French Government, as of the 2055 elections, has been controlled by the En Marche! Party. President Leon Genet, a former member of the Senate, has made his broad, ambitious policies clear to the French people and his government. The aim of France, and hopefully, other ATO members will be to utilize the robust military capabilities and strategic positions enjoyed by the alliance to "sweep and clear" dictatorships and extremists around the globe. Once these regimes are dismantled, the process of using ATO technological and logistical capabilities to both improve the lives of those in volatile regions and facilitate a shift toward democracy will begin. [ATO MEMBER RESPONSE] Our aim will be, as President Genet puts it, to, "Unite democracies while isolating dictatorships." WIP
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States Dip: We wholeheartedly support France in these endeavors, and promise to send logistical and possibly military support, helping France in these "sweep and clear" tactics, especially in use against the Federation.

2062
''' The economies of East Asia continued to be rattled by ratcheting tensions caused by the attempted assassination of the Taiwanese President. In accordance with AEAN actions, Korea freezes most Chinese government assets in the country, bankrupting the Chinese company Huawei, whose sole remaining customer base is in Korea. Taiwanese forces raid several Chinese government shell companies across the island and confiscate most if not all items, further harming Chinese international prospects. '''

''' Allegations of human experimentation committed by several countries, including but not limited to, China, Western Russia, Japan, Germany, Turkey, and Malaysia, arise following a prison break at the Fifteenth Correctional Facility in Rural China. Escapees largely flee to nearby East Turkestan, where they claim that they were treated 'like animals' and lay out detailed blueprints of what was attempted, including attempting to induce telekinesis in children and trying to reanimate dead corpses. '''

''' The quiet establishment of relations between Ukraine and Russia allows the ATO and MDP to talk face-to-face. Western Russia, pressured by economic sanctions straining its economy, reveals all about its remaining espionage operations internationally; giving the American CIA, British MI5 and other ATO intelligence agencies proof of collaboration between the Lower Islamic Union, State of Siberia and former Russian agents. The documents are damning, revealing that three of the thirteen major attempted terrorist attacks in the United States were in fact results of the trifecta's cooperation and that the Lower Islamic Union is indeed in possession of nuclear devices. In exchange, Western Russian sanctions are for the most part lifted, although sanctions on other MDP members remain very much in place. '''

''' Sweden, in honor of its dead from the Third World War, elects to play 'I Vow to Thee My Country', a song from the 2018 video game, Battlefield V, for one week long, in memory of the ending week of the Third World War. The four-minute long piece becomes the first event of national mourning forty years after the country's entrance into the third international conflict in human history. '''

''' The Federation launches a satellite into Low Earth Orbit, only for its rocket to malfunction and the structure sent crashing down onto Earth, landing in the outskirts of Roswell, New Mexico. While casualties are few, the nature of the satellite, which seems to have some form of kinetic missile launching system, attracts international attention. '''


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The Hundred Stars Pro both the series and the music group itself, gains traction and some popularity, especially after the airing of the first season centred around the band. Meanwhile a new style of animation is established, combing both Russian style animation and Japanese style animation, and this style begins gaining traction as well in several studios in the nation. The government offers the Siberian State in establishing relations as well as tracking down the terrorist group. [Mod Response] Meanwhile the move to the new established capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is complete, and with elections coming up next year, Alexi Miyamoto-Orlovsky decides to run for a second term. The military continues to be on high alert due to the continued rise of tensions in the region and another increase of budget to self-defence is made.
 * State of Siberia: There is a strange oddity in that we have to negotiate like this... da, I suppose we can open up relations. We ask to establish an embassy in Eastern Russia and vice-versa [Eastern Russian Response].
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: The government agrees to establish an embassy and vies-versa.
 * Flag of Democratic Arabia.png Republic of Arabia: With the House of Saud collapsing in on itself and Riyadh in our hands... we declare the revolution well underway, and establish the Republic of Arabia. We seek membership with both the Association of East Asian Nations and Atlantic Treaty Organisation alike [Response from said alliances]. The Democratic Arabian Forces continue to push into the territory of the dying dictatorship as we near Medina and Mecca with every advance. We ask for continued assistance from India, Germany and the United States as we march towards the cities. Thank you all for defending the spark in our country, for a Democratic Arabia begins today.
 * AEAN - Japanese Diplomacy: The nation hold a referendum if you can be allowed in the nation, and the votes will be casted when every AEAN member votes [Mod/Player Responses]
 * AEAN Conference: With all nations except Malaysia and Indonesia voting in favour, Arabia becomes the newest member of the AEAN.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America Dip: Seeing as no other ATO member has refused to let Arabia in, the US is proud to announce the Republic of Arabia as ATO's newest member.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Allegations of human experimentation was proven to be true, as the nation releases the information to the world. However, not in a way the Japanese want it to be, as the nation is secretly hiding the untold truth behind the human experimentation. But, the prisoners in Rural China fled to East Turkestan, and the Turkestanese are mostly befuddled by how the prisoners were treated like, and blueprints were shown about how the Chinese were treated. Meanwhile, the economy is rattling, as the tensions between the Chinese and the Taiwanese are coming to one thing says another, a full scale war. Training up in Hokkaido and Sakhalin get more contemplative, as the leader is mostly paranoid about this, and wants to be prepared at notice. However, the MDP nations are sanctioned by ATO members, so a upcoming war could not happen unless the Chinese declare war while still sanctioned by ATO. [Work In Progress]
 * CCP Flag.png China: We renounce the human experimentation that occurred, and arrest all involved. We warn the Taiwanese that another attack on Chinese sovereignty will be met with retaliation, and we call on our Asian allies to support us.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The givernment condemns every nation involved in human experimentation, citing it as a “gross infringement on human rights and basic ethics and morality”, however, as before, no foreign policy actions are taken against said nations due to our stance as a “World Port for All”. Western Russian information on the Lower Islamic Union’s nuclear weapons program is greatly appreciated, and now that we realize that there is a grave threat to the Tunisian nation right on its doorsteps, some of the funds going to the Infrastructure Overhaul project are temporarily diverted into constructing bomb shelters in major cities that can withstand nuclear weapons, as well as implementing a nationwide warning siren which can be used as a nuclear bomb alert or other types of alerts, and restarting bi-monthly bomb training discontinued after peace was made with Northwest Africa back in 2059. Due to this, the expected completion date of the Infrastructure Overhaul is moved back from 2068 to 2075. A trade embargo and total travel ban is also extended to the Lower Islamic Union, the only exception to our policy of accepting trade by any and every nation. However, the Green Sahara project continues on, unaffected by these recent developments, and the first portion of new Saharan farmland, a 2 square kilometer crop field just east of Medeinine, is completed, with more to come in the coming years. Normalization of relations continues with Northwest Africa and Nigeria, with Tunisair recontinuing flights to Algiers, Constantine, Nouakchott, Kano, Abuja, and Lagos. Trade deals and a visa-free program for tourists from said nations are also proposed [PLAYER/MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. The southern portion of the newly-built A2 highway is opened for traffic, connecting the cities of Gabes and Gafsa, and being the first completed product of the Infrastructure Overhaul.
 * Mod Response: Nigeria accepts the offer.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The obvious public response is indeed furious. President Zamora calls on ISAWA to rescind the LIU's membership and punish the nation severely, stating that failure to do so will be met with fury from the United States. [Mod Response] Embargoes are put in place on the LIU, and diplomatic ties are cut. We call for all countries, regardless of ideology, to punish the Lower Islamic Union, and that such a dangerous nation could damage the international balance and relative peace. We also condemn Siberia for working with the LIU, and cut diplomatic ties and institute an embargo. Nigeria, the most moderate member of ISAWA, is now entitled to the new "Democratic Enhancement Program (DEP)" from the United States, aiming to help developing countries and struggling nations. Using DEP, the federal government invests $400 million into Nigeria, including helping building roads, government and military facilities, and the internet infrastructure. An arms deal entitling Nigeria to modern weapons is also in the works. All Nigeria needs to do is approve. [Mod Response] [secret] In Panama, the FPC gets their wish when the US cuts ties with drug and crime lords. Through a secret port in Las Tablas, weapons and money is sent to the FPC. The CIA is tasked with a mission, to kill the abusive, puppet dictator of Panama, and disguise it as an accident, causing the nation to destabilize and for the FPC to gain the reins of power. [Mod Response] We are baffled as to how a prison break in rural China could lead to accusations of Japan, Malaysia, Turkey, Russia, and Germany of human experimentation, but we condemn these acts, especially with Germany, who is an ATO member. We demand an explanation. [Player Response needed] Sanctions are put in place on Turkey, but not on major trade partners, or Russia. We also ask for a meeting between the US and Russia, to soften relations and set aside our differences (considering they just leaked us tons of material). [Mod Response] The irony of an object from space crashing in Roswell is not lost on us, but ARC immediately begins work on the US's own kinetic missile launching system, not wanting to fall behind. A "Battle Star" is also conceived by ARC, a sort of military space station, able to launch rockets with extreme precision and a plethora of other, classified uses. A prototype battle star is set for 2066. With Chinese prospects in Asia harmed, American companies are encouraged to replace the power vacuum left in Huawei, and to penetrate the Chinese mainland. In Brazil, more artificial soldiers are sent, and we ask whether they are more effective than human ones. We also ask Greece on their referendum to join ATO. [Mod Response] The NAU now underway, we aim to make ourselves closer to our two neighbors, and make Canadian tender legal in the mainland US, including Alaska. They are still not accepted in Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Washington DC.
 * Flag of ISAWA.png ISAWA Council: Recind and apologise for what? Hah, you Americans oppressed our bretheren every step of the way, putting our families and our futures in danger. You can all burn for all eternity at Allah's feet. We declare war on the United States of America, Tunisia, Northwest Africa and Nigeria. May the infidels come.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: A day which will live on in infamy...
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: The nation stands on the side of America, Tunisia, Northwest Africa and Nigeria, and abets the 4 nations with Japanese personnel, naval, and aerial conflict to defeat the Allah supports of ISAWA. The nation also sends 1500 Special Ops units that were trained hard to the battle, while the rest are training harder if the MDP attacks the nation.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svg Tunisia: This is a suicidal move. We encourage the Supreme Leader of the Lower Islamic Union to re-evaluate their stupid and foolish decision, and perhaps get a mental checkup. However, if you continue with this completely brainless decision, we will have no choice but to rain hell down on the cities of the LIU. Peace out.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: How dare you betray your own kin! We, the true messengers of Allah will not stand for this defiance. Know that there is no place for you in this world, nor the next.
 * Nigeria: We gladly accept the help of the United States.
 * Flag of Panama.png Free Pananamian Coalition: Dear god... it's working! It's working! We have David, Chiriqui, and our men and women are fighting into Santiago as we converse! The revolution starts now! We will take back every city and every town from the Federation! ¡larga vida a la revolución!
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: With chaos in the streets and cities, US Marines are sent to Panama to "calm the region" (in reality helping the FPC), and using the Navy to help blockade Federation ports in Panama. US troops in San Diego are en route to liberate the great people of Panama.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Da, da, da, da. We will meet with American diplomats soon enough. Da. (Can't believe Mother Russia has been reduced to talking to Europeans...)
 * Flag of Greece.png Greece: The referendum went... smoothly. With 62% of the population in favour, we apply for membership in the Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: With effectively zero opposition, we welcome Greece to the ATO.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: The diplomacy stays silent about the situation, and requests for the Americans to leave them to their ideas.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svg Tunisian Diplomacy: We commend the United States, arguably the most powerful nation on Earth, on taking a stance to the rogue terrorist extremists that are the Lower Islamic Union, and we assure them that the harshest measures short of war will be imposed on them. As a nation directly threatened by their unlawful, rogue government, we reiterate America’a urgent call for the international community to set aside any and all differences to do whatever they can to vehemently oppose the Lower Islamic Union at all costs, and take the harshest stances on them possible without going to war.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: With ISAWA stupidly declaring war, we hope to form a temporary coalition with Tunisia, Northwest Africa, and Nigeria to combat this threat and neutralize ISAWA. [Player/Mod Response] ATO members are advised to put their militaries on high alert, especially Spain.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svg Tunisian Response: We accept. The entire nation is re-geared towards war, and the Tunisian Army is recalled for duty, and told to defend Tunisia’s borders, until further orders are given.
 * Nigeria: We accept, thanking the United States for its diplomacy in these times of strife.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Northwest Africa: As much as we dislike having anything to do with Western belligerents, we accept the offer for a temporary coalition.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: Kiev is one of the venues for the 2062 Judo Grand Prix. Several Ukrainian judoka win medals in the competition and bring glory to the country. Ukraine will apply to host the 2063 European Judo Championships in Chernigov. [Mod Response] The government continues negotiations with Russia and President Gontyuk uses his successful negotiations as propaganda for his future election campaign, hailing it as a diplomatic success. The Rada will still review Ukraine's ATO membership. Public support right now is mostly in favor of remaining in the organization, by 58%. The Ukrainian military remains on alert due to the recent actions of terrorist groups. The National Police, Interior Ministry, and Security Service budget is increased to provide further defense from potential terrorism. The Inner City high speed railways connecting Kiev with other major cities (Odessa, Lvov, Kharkov, Donetsk, Nikolaev, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernigov) are mostly finished and will first see use in January of next year. New lines connecting other, smaller cities will begin construction next year also. High speed Inner City lines connecting Kherson, Zhytomyr, Dnepropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhia, Uzhhorod, and Lugansk will be built. After this phase is completed, each of the cities connected by this Inner City line will branch out and make shorter routes to other smaller towns in their oblasts. Construction continues in Kiev on various technologies to make the city more futuristic and advanced, with places like Tokyo being the example followed.
 * Logo of the European Judo Union.pngEuropean Judo Union: Ukraine's proactive negotiations for hosting the European Judo Championships is very much appreciated. It will be the site of the 2063 Judo Championships.
 * Flag of France.svg France: With the declaration of war made by ISAWA, we have no other choice but to come to the defense of our ATO ally, the United States. One of our carrier strike groups, to be supported by various wings of fighters, multi-roles, electronic warfare, and attack aircraft will be sent into the Mediterranean to annihilate ISAWA blue water capabilities in the region. [Mod Response] Our Rapid Reaction Corps and a Marine Infantry Regiment are redeployed to ports in Southern France for future operations. Until ISAWA forces are destroyed, these units will train for amphibious landings and combat in North Africa. These forces will, along with our forces in South America, receive first priority for logistical support.  We ask if military advisors can be flown into Tunisia. [Tunisian Response] A draft is proposed, but given the capabilities of ISAWA, is not enacted. However, contingencies are still made in the case that the military is flooded with draftees. On the homefront, police are given specialized instruction courses on counter-terrorism operations. Security personnel at airports and other transportation hubs are also given the same courses, although to a lesser level. Citizens are told to be vigilant in this time of crisis. The Homogenous Education Quality Initiative, or HEQI, proposed by President Genet, receives great bipartisan support. The Initiative will aim to give all students the same high-quality education while offering various learning programs for different students. President Genet states, “Every student deserves the same high-quality education, but every student is not the same. “ At the approval of the EADP, we are prepared to construct community centers in EADP territory, providing free internet access, education, nutritious food, and healthcare. This will be the first phase of the French-Africa Program or FAP, which aims to improve the quality of life for all in the EADP. [EADP Response]  We ask if the United States DEP can be made an ATO effort, to expand the resources it has access to. We also ask if the “Battle star” can be made a French-United States effort. [United States Response] The Military has announced it will take an approach to self-contained automated combat, giving each AI soldier independent processes. Work on a prototype AI soldier, dubbed Cuirassier, begins. We hope the prototype can be finished by 2063, with full integration into the armed forces finishing in 2067. Cuirassier type AI soldiers will each feature a series of complex algorithms to ensure its better than a human soldier, but doesn’t kill human civilians. Cuirassier type AI will also have several fail-safes, allowing humans to disable the robot in case of a malfunction. WIP
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisian Response: Accepted.
 * Logo of the French Navy.png Marine Nationale: The carrier strike group comes off the coast of Northwest Africa with elements travelling out into the Atlantic to provide artillery support. Without ISAWA resistance, we have begun to bomb strategic positions in the Lower Islamic Union using fighter aircraft as well as artillery fire. Vive la Revolution, vive la France.
 * EADP Council: We accept the generous offer for elevating living standards within our alliance.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: Following the decision of the Lower Islamic Union, ergo the ISAWA, to condemn us for going against the will of Allah, we have decided that we will no longer mingle with false followers. The New Islamic State of Northwest Africa ungraciously rescinds its membership in the ISAWA and prepares for war against the infidels that are the Lower Islamic Union. The military is mobilised and poised to take defensive positions at cities and towns nearer to the southern border. Meanwhile, we ask the remaining members of the ISAWA to join our side in this holy war, or face the wrath of Allah himself. [ISAWA Member States Response Needed] Over in Algiers, the plans for irrigation systems are drawn up and the land surveyed. A desalination plant is to be built in Oran to supply freshwater for consumption and the irrigation project. Similar plants are planned to be built, but due to a lack of resources and a concentration of bureaucratic efforts on the war, one plant will settle for now. The pipes required are also undergoing the manufacturing process, and will eventually span hundreds of kilometres inland to the Sahara Desert. We are interested in buying some aircraft from Western Russia to help in our war effort, seeing our air force is pretty much non-existent. [Western Russian Response Needed]
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Da. We will support Northwest Africa in this venture. We will sell several Su-51s to Northwest Africa as a gesture of good faith. Good day for our nations, da?
 * United West African States: We will assist Northwest Africa in its fight against the infidelity of the Lower Islamic Union. For Allah!
 * Chad: We will support Northwest Africa in this fight, but only if it assists us in keeping hold of Occupied Sudan [Northwest African Response Needed].
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: If that is all that is required, we gladly accept.
 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: The Finnish government condemns recent actions by the Lower Islamic Union, and calling it as 'madness'. Peaceful protests against the war in West Africa and Arabia is held in Helsinki. Finland continues its infrastructure development projects, one of its major projects is the Archipelago Bridge, which will connect Finnish mainland and the Åland Islands. Construction of the bridge will start in the next year, and it is expected to operate in 2065. The project will be continued with the Aland–Stockholm bridge-tunnel, which will start after completion of the Archipelago Bridge. This bridge will include roads, standard railways (for cargo trains), and high-speed railways. With the bankrupty of Huawei and several Chinese companies, Nokia rises in European mobile phone market. Nokia also continues its development in Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence.

2063
''' Economic trade in the Mediterranean is strained as the North African War begins. Western Russia, who opens up its airspace to ATO aircraft, and is quickly followed by the three Siberian nations, becomes essential to the survival of air travel between Europe and Asia. The Russian nations, Japan and Eastern Europe benefit immensely from this sudden influx of aircraft. '''

''' The North African War, sparked by ISAWA's sudden declaration of war, begins. Suicide bombers from the Lower Islamic Union hit major cities in Africa, including Tunis, Lagos, and others. Northwest Africa, while having gained multiple allies internationally, sees itself pushed back from former Coastal Mauritania by a quick advance between the Lower Islamic Union and the Holy State of Sarahwi and Morocco, whose army acts in accordance with ISAWA demands. The United West African States also come under siege. However, the LIU is hit by French and American shelling, destroying hundreds of its arms industries. In what appears to be a losing war, the ISAWA Council issues what appears to be a fatal order: '''

''' "We will not capitulate! No! Never! We may be destroyed, but if we are we shall drag a world with us - a world in flames." '''

''' The fallout from the allegations of human experimentation in East Asia continue to echo throughout the region as reports of disappearances in the region begin to ensue. Protests occur in Vladivostok, Tokyo, and Osaka, demanding the truth about what occurred. '''

''' Global cooling occurs as a large, artificial ice sheet begins to form in the waters between Hokkaido and Eastern Russia. Washington D.C reaches temperatures not seen since 2003 in the winter as the period of international temperature cooling begins to be seen across the world. London, for the first time since 2027, sees snow in January, although only for two days. '''

''' MI5 operations reveal Codename: THOR, a kinetic bombardment system pioneered by the Federation. It reveals a large, extensive satellite network known as the Orbital Defense Initiative that had been supposed to be launched in tandem with Lower Siberia and Pakistan. Immediately, tech experts across the world are quick to dismiss the system's feasability; but the technology continues to intrigue the world. '''


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government denounces any claims of experimenting on humans; and would never do such a thing. As a precaution, human experimentation is banned across the nation; and the government becomes more transparent to prevent false accusations such as these. [Secret] The Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency begins to investigate the cases of any human disappearances in the nation and searches for any leads. [Mod Response] [End Secret] With global cooling becoming apparent; the government begins to invest in infrastructure that can endure the return of harsher environments. Another East Russian pop music group, known as Winterland and a part of a rival studio to Okhotsk Company's Hundred Stars Pro; releases a cover version of the classic hardbass hit, Bochka, Bass, Kolbaser. Elections are held in August with Alexi Miyamoto-Orlovsky from the United Far East Party not winning re-election, and Ratimir Borovsky from the Yabloko party becoming President and Haruka Amosov becoming Prime Minister. The government offers to establish relations with both Lower Siberia and Union of Zabaykalsky Krai. [Mod Response]
 * Lower Siberia: Da. We will open up relations with Eastern Russia.
 * Union of Zabaykalsky Krai: We appreciate Eastern Russia's diplomacy in these times of crisis. We will open up relations.
 * Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency: We can confirm the disappearances of fifteen civilians, mostly Japanese or Chinese, in the last five years. Where they were taken is unknown.


 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: Defensive measures are taken in the Southwestern Front as to limit losses to the LIU. A branch of the Holy Liberation Army is formed, known as the Special Terrain Division, or STD. They are deployed at strategic areas in the Sahara Desert, so any passing troops or convoys will be ambushed by the specially camouflaged STDs and neutralised. They are trained to blend in perfectly with the sand to avoid detection, and finish off enemies so fast they won't even know what happened. With the help of intelligence reports and Google Maps, air raids are conducted on LIU military bases. A massive assault is planned on the Holy State of Sarahwi and Morocco, aiming to push the infidels back to the Atlantic Ocean. The cities of Oujda, Meknes, Fez and Tangier are expected to be taken in the initial phase of the attack, estimated to last a few months while maintaining a defensive perimeter around the state. [Mod Response Needed] Within the coming weeks, fresh clean water will flow into the Sahara for the first time, bringing new fertile lands and birthing industries. Troops on the Southern Front are positioned to move into former Burkina Faso, but it is not expected of them to finish their invasion very quickly. [Mod Response Needed]
 * New Islamic Army of North Africa: The attack goes successfully, with LIU resistance being diminutive. The troops advance on former Burkina Faso, but is met with heavy resistance from insurgents, as Burkina Faso is the capital of the LIU. We maintain a defensive perimeter outside Ouahigouya and the 3rd Division advances into Bokin. It is inevitable we will prevail in the end. Praise Allah.


 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: As expected, the northern city of Chernigov–where the new high speed trains have recently been activated–hosts the European Judo Championships this year. Ukraine has always produced many skilled judoka, and it showed this year as well. Most notably a record was set by the 17-year old Volodymyr Shevchuk who became European champion in the -66 kg category. The city of Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, also is one of the several venues on the 2063 World Taekwondo Grand Prix. Here too Ukrainian athletes score a number of medals. Ukraine applies to host the 2064 World Taekwondo Championships. [Mod Response] The increased air traffic through Ukraine benefits the Ukrainian economy, which continues to grow and gradually the people's living standards are improving. Increased foreign tourism also helps government revenues. Police and security budget is kept high to continue to prevent terrorism from occurring in the country. At the same time military troops are being demobilized to get the armed forces to its projected strength of about 177,000 personnel. National Guard infrastructure is being set up to maintain its numbers at about 97,000 troops (outside of the Ground Forces), including 35,000 regulars and 64,000 conscripts. The new conscription law passed by the Verkhovna Rada gives Ukrainian men the option of joining the National Guard for 1 year or to do other, non-military community service activities for 1.5 years. Some exemptions from the national service can be given for different reasons. Construction continues on the Inner City high speed lines extending to other cities.
 * Logo of the European Taekwondo Union.jpg European Taekwondo Union: While we appreciate Ukraine's voracity in applying, the 2065 World Taekwondo Championships have already been decided to be set in India, as have the 2067 event. It is possible to reserve a place in 2069, but for now, it is impossible. However, the ETU has decided to hold the European Taekwondo Championships in Ukraine next year.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia:105,000 troops are sent to the front lines of the ISAWA, with the majority going down south to the Southern and Benin Fronts, and a contingent of 15,000 aiding Northwest Africa in the takeover of Morocco. We also send in the Tunisian Navy to blockade major Lower Islamic Union ports such as Accra, Abidjan, and Monrovia, as well as the Air Force, to conduct air raids over known weapons stashes, as well as the capital, Ouagadougou, and major industrial hubs [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Missile-repellent shields are also re-anchored over strategic targets and urban areas. Large sums of funds are sent to former ISAWA nations now fighting alongside us, such as Northwest Africa, Nigeria, and Chad, in an effort to help them to reach levels of prosperity seen in the developed world, and to help them in the war effort. Meanwhile, internet speeds topping 5 Gigabytes per second are now available in the Tunis Metropolitan Area, with efforts to roll this out to the rest of the country in the next three years. The Green Sahara project is also going along smoothly, with an added 500 square kilometers of newly arable land, and accelerated economic growth in southern Tunisia is already being seen. We offer to extend the Green Sahara project to Libya, Chad (and in extension, Occupied Sudan), and Nigeria [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Logo of the Tunisian Army.png Tunisian Forces: The Benin front, with our forces and our Nigerian allies crashing down on them from both sides, is pushed towards Djougou and Natitingou quickly, as the 15th Armoured and 9th Infantry assist the Nigerian 201st Airborne in a concerted push through coastal Benin, while the 6th Infantry and Nigerian 3rd Armoured push through Northern Benin and set up a perimeter around Djougou and Natitingou. In the meantime, the naval blockade and thus shelling of LIU ports goes well, neutralising the LIU's few naval capabilites and allowing a safer landing of US forces at Accra. US forces thus take Accra and move to set up a perimeter around Koforidua and Kade.
 * Nigeria: We accept. Thank you for being so kind; we will begin putting resources into the project immediately.
 * Chad: We accept as well. I believe this is the great start to a good future for the region!


 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The 6th Naval Division and the USS John Kennedy and USS Barack Obama is immediately dispatched to West Africa. Airstrikes begin of the LIU, and an ambitious amphibious invasion of Accra begins in November, after months of planning. [Mod Response] A week prior, the 160th SOAR had begun strikes against multiple targets in Accra and Lome, destroying LIU's infrastructure and crippling the nation. A lengthy aerial bombing campaign occurs from June-November. We request Nigeria to allow us to use their airbases, to further the war effort. [Mod Response] Decapitation strikes are too be carried out against top ISAWA officials, using any method not against international law. [Mod Response] Using shock and awe tactics against the poorly trained and equipped LIU army, our troops hope to quickly gain large swathes of land to capture strategic points, then fortify and defend them. We begin to occupy cities, institute order, and fund any groups disdained with the LIU and IWASA. We hope for this invasion to be swift, and for the unstable LIU government and military to collapse quickly due to the sheer force of combined forces against them. The military attempts to shut down any defenses LIU may have. Meanwhile, in Panama, US Marines arrive, along with troops from San Diego, and begin a massive push into Federation territory. Airstrikes begin on Federation controlled cities, and the Navy's blockade of Federation cities continues. [Mod Response on situation in Panama] Meanwhile, the Hyperloop from New York to Boston is going relatively well, with the line from New York to New Haven being completed. Last year's volatile midterms elections caused the complete fracture of the Democratic Party as moderates and progressives split into two new camps, the Coalition of the United (coalition of moderates), and the New Leaf Party (progressive). Although both the COTU and NLP gain large numbers of seats against the Conservatives, it is still unknown which one will eventually take the former seat of the monolithic Democratic Party. In Kaliningrad, the ATO occupation zone is given a referendum. Join Lithuania, Poland, become an independent democratic government under the protection of ATO, or stay as an occupation zone? [Mod Response] ARC continues work on a kinetic bombardment system in space, able to shoot rockets. The KBS will be connected to our Battle Star system, in which France is allowed to join. However, France will control Battle Star Europe (BS2), and although connected to the rest of the grid, some information will be limited in the name of national security. Battle Star Freedom (BS1), stationed over the Washington DC area, and Battle Star Nuevo (BS3), stationed over Free Brazil (to insure safety over the Federation). These battle stars are connected in a grid and can launch a variety of missiles, as well as multiple other rockets that can launch silver iodine (for cloud seeding in case of drought), and some other nifty tools. BS1 is being built at JPL. It will launch in 2063, if all goes to plan. BS1 is very basic and only contains some outdated missiles. Cities around the Great Lakes become heavily populated due to its abundant water supply, while in Arizona, NASA, NOAA, and the DoE is testing out a new technology allowing for an artificial lake to be built, destroying the emptiness of the Mojave. More effective desalination plants are built in California, and the excess salt and sometimes mineral is sold to other nations.
 * United States Armed Forces: We've got their asses tied, Mr. President, I can assure you that! We've got a solid perimeter set up around Accra, Koforidua and Kade. The 1 o' 6th is heading out towards Kumasi and Konongo with armoured support and air support. The decapitation strikes are succedin', o' course; we took out Commander of the LIU forces just last week! We'll be done here in no time, Mr. President, I can assure you that. God, bless, our dear sweet America.
 * Flag of Panama.png Free Pananamian Forces: We continue to push into the strangleholds that the Federation has made of our cities... with the assistance of America, we took Santiago, and revolutions are starting across our country as well, with a large resistance occurring inside the capital itself! We are moving to take Rio Grande and Parita District in addition to this. We meet heavier and heavier resistance every day, but that is so little to pay for liberation! Viva le Revolucion! 
 * Kaliningrad: We elect to join Poland as a district of the country. Thank you for the referendum.
 * China: We begin experimenting with plasma weaponry (won't be perfected for decades). Ships are placed in the Taiwan Strait to safeguard against further Taiwanese aggression.
 * Flag of France.pngFrance: We are honored to be given the privilege of operating a Battlestar, which is sure to become a valuable asset in the defense of Democracy. We are also ecstatic to hear about the fast advance into the LIU by the United States. We ask if our Rapid Reaction Corps can be sent to aid US operations, we also ask if our Airforce can use captured airbases in former LIU territory. A request is also sent to NISNA, asking for use of their airbases as well. [US and NISNA Response]  Another carrier strike group is sent into the Atlantic, with air support, to mop up remaining ISAWA assets in the area. [Mod Response] Operation De Gaulle, an ambitious project aiming to create opposition movements in Egypt, as well as cultivate human intelligence networks in those areas, begins its preliminary phases. Actual action and results are expected for next year. [SECRET] A construction project hoping to connect Paris, Caen, and Le Havre begins, hoping to finish by 2066. As the United States has invited crime lords into the fight for a free Panama, it is necessary that said crime lords be processed once the situation has settled down. We propose the Integration of Less than Legal Assets and Persons Plan, or ILLPP, allowing crime lords to legitimize their assets and holdings. The crime lords themselves have committed various crimes, so sentences should be placed but kept minimal. This will be unpopular, but nonetheless, we feel it is the only way to keep the peace after Panama has been freed. [US Panama Response] Back to the Battlestars, several leading figures in the French Military have proposed a revolutionary new tactic for war. [See Comments] No nation or organization has the capabilities to fight this kind of war yet, but ATO has a solid foundation to build on. [ATO Response] An offer is made to Tunisia on some French Africa Program resources being dedicated to streamlining both the Green Sahara Project and Tunisian development. [Tunisian Response] Our cuirasser AI soldier prototype has finished construction, and tests in simulated conditions have begun. Once any flaws are streamlined, production will start. WIP
 * Mod Response: What little remaining naval divisions left possessed by the ISAWA in the Atlantic are largely dealt with and accounted for. However, the ISAWA has littered the Gulf of Guinea and other areas of the Atlantic with naval mines of varying type and quality, with some posing almost no threat to naval craft and others causing lighter destroyers to require extensive repairs. To make matters worse, some of the mines have drifted into international shipping routes, endangering trade in the Atlantic for an unknown period of time.
 * Tunisian Diplomacy: Accepted.
 * Flag_of_the_Philippines.svg The Phillippines: We choose to remain neutral with the wars breaking out across the world, while at the same time improving our military equipment including night vision devices, tanks and continuing to try our ship-borne missile systems that dated from decades ago. Meanwhile, as the island of Boracay has lost most of its tourism value aside from it's local still bustling nightlife, we boost it's comfort, safety and amenities by redeveloping areas and promising a better life for citizens. We offer several hardworking poor people a spot in that island. Meanwhile we repaint many buildings in Metro Manila, which is suffering from businesses exiting the area and most skilled population flocking to other parts of the country. We warn Filipinos in the Arabian area to leave if possible.
 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: Centre Party wins again this year's parliamentary election. The election results show no significant changes in Finnish political landscape. Centre, NC, and SDP are still major political parties in Finland, while Blue Reform continues gaining popularity. The current government is relatively similar to previous one, with incumbent Prime Minister (since 2062, after Centre Party leadership election), Andreas Paasikivi is reelected. While construction of the Archipelago Bridge is under progress, we prepare for the Mariehamn–Stockholm crossing. Similar to the Archipelago Bridge and Øresund Bridge, the crossing is a road-rail bridge-tunnel. Proposal for the crossing is sent to the Swedish government [Mod Response Needed].
 * Flag of Sweden.png Sweden: We agree to the proposal. We will work with Finland to make these plans a reality.

2064
''' The Olympics arrive just as ISAWA loses most air power and several air routes officially reopen. The competition, held in Ukraine, becomes an outstanding display of Russian de-escalation, as Ukrainian and Russian sportsmen run next to each other and their national fans sit next to one another without much incident. The Olympics becomes heralded as the portrayer of world peace. '''

''' The Arabian Civil War breaks into its seventh year as the Republic of Arabia's forces advance towards the West Coast of Arabia, cutting off the House of Saud's competing factions from each other and forcing several of them to surrender. The eldest son of the House of Saud, holding out in Medina, looks likely to fail in his venture to survive the next year. '''

''' The JSDF is forced to close off the Hokkaido town of Tomamu after what appears to be a mass rabies infection occurs. Amidst raging snowstorms triggered by cooling international temperatures, the JSDF is only able to surround parts of the town, with the Japanese Ministry of Defence releasing a report stating that Tomamu may have been the site of human experiments secretly committed by Japanese-Chinese scientists as part of the original ceasefire agreement between both countries. '''

''' The North African War takes a turn for the worse, as Lower Islamic Union civilians begin committing mass suicide before anti-LIU ISAWA members, US troops and Tunisian forces arrive at their cities and towns. The cities that the Allies advance on become sites to mass suicides covered by the world. What few civilians remain warn incoming troops of unspeakable horrors awaiting them. '''

''' Number One breaks out of relative silence for the previous two years, with the Thirteenth Parallel launching terrorist attacks on the State of Siberia and Union of Zabalyasky Krai. The result is both countries going into an immediate state of emergency, and national forces coming into open conflict with Russian paramilitary groups. '''
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Although the warnings given to our troops by LIU civilians are very cryptic and vague, we decide to take action on those warnings. All Tunisian troops on the Southern and Benin Fronts are ordered to remain extra vigilant, and take any and all precautions for any type of danger deemed possible in these conditions. Troops in charge of occupied towns and cities have been ordered to stop the suicide of civilians, and to extract all that they can about the nature of the “unspeakable horrors”, with torture and interrogation of captured LIU troops, and especially commanders, authorized if need be [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Meanwhile, after the astounding success of the front in northern Benin, we continue to push deeper into the LIU, with the goal of taking all of northern Togo and reaching the city of Tamale, in northeastern Ghana, by the end of the year. Troops on the southern portion of the Benin Front are ordered to attack Cotonou, Porto-Novo, and hopefully take Lomé by the end of 2064. Those on the Southern and Moroccan fronts are ordered to follow Northwest African orders and war plans. We also transfer 12,000 troops from the Benin Front to the Accra Front, with orders to proceed towards Kumasi. The Navy and Air Force continue the bombing and shelling of major cities [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED FOR ALL FRONTS]. Meanwhile, the Green Sahara project has begun to be implemented in Libya and Chad, with an expansion of the Great Manmade River in Libya to cover more ground, as well as pipelines running from several sources of water in the region, as well as a branch of the Great Manmade River, into the now mostly empty Lake Chad, with the end goal of refilling Lake Chad to its former glory, being in the works. More of the Sahara Desert in Tunisia is also ripe for farming. The A2 highway is also completely finished, linking up the western half of the nation to each other. Several smaller highways are now good to go. Parts of the trans-Tunisian high-speed train line, namely the portions between Tunis ans Sousse, have also been completed, with trains running between these locations at speeds of 400 kilometers per hour. Finally, we ask to formalize an alliance between Northwest Africa, Nigeria, Chad, and Libya [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We accept membership in the Tunisian Alliance.
 * Logo of the Tunisian Army.png Tunisian Forces: Torture, ineffective and banned by the Geneva Convention, is refrained from, but we are unable to extract any information. We continue to advance out of Benin, crossing into Togo, with the coastal front going far smoother thanks to shelling. The 9th Infantry advances to Ghanan Ho, taking up positions in the city, but fails to prevent another mass suicide of civilians, only able to save certain districts of the location from certain death. The 15th Armoured split from us and enter Hohoe. In the North, the 6th Infantry advances on, stopping at Sotouboua with guerilla insurgents blocking the way.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: We gladly accept the alliance.
 * Mod Response: Chad agrees to the alliance, while the Libyan government remains indecisive of whether to shed their neutrality.
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: Following last years federal election, the Liberal party, Conservative party, and the New Democratic Party of Canada maintained mostly the same seats in the house of commons. The liberal party gained a seat, formally posessed by the conservatives, and the conservatives gained two seats formally possessed by the NDP. This means the House of Commons sits at 364 seats total, 156 of which are controlled by the Liberals, 117 by the Conservatives, and 91 by the NDP. Prime Minister Holden Watson retained his seat as of these results. We send supplies and financial support to the United States to assist them in the North African War. Parliament is split, and war is not declared. More funding is put into ATO to help strengthen it, and in the long run, Democracy across the world. Military sees a budget boost this year, but not a large one.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the confirmation of a few citizens disappearing in the nation; the government begins to impose arrests orders on the individuals behind the disapperances should they come back and condem any nations that allow for this to happen. With the return of the terrorist group after two years; the nation's military is on high alert again, as is the cyber division. Support is offered to the State of Siberia and Zabalyasky Krai to combat against the terrorist group along with tracking them down. [Mod Response] [Secret] The Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency continues to investigate 13th Parallel and the leader behind it, and begins efforts in tracking them down. [Mod Response] [End Secret] The pop music group Winterland becomes known for both their covers and original songs; and near the end of the year, releases a cover version of Snow Halation by µ's, which becomes a hit. The second season of Hundred Stars Pro also airs, with a plans for a future film in the works. The military sees another budget boost, and a new division is established, known as the East Russian Spetsnaz Command.
 * State of Siberia: Da- we accept Eastern Russian assistance.
 * Zabalyasky Krai: We accept as well. Thank you.
 * Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency: We cannot confirm the location of any of the perpetrators, but documents recovered from abandoned stations reveals the existence of a Japanese-Chinese project called Phoenix that used human experiments. It also repeatedly mentions the name Kudo Taichi, which from further investigation was the leader of an independent Chinese research team in the late 2030s before the American withdrawal from China.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The European Taekwondo Championships are held in Ivano-Frankivsk. Ukrainian taekwondo athletes do well and obtain a few medals. The Ministry of Sports receives more funding from the government to promote sports to the youth. The Ukrainian national judo and taekwondo teams continue training, also preparing for the Olympics. The elections this year see the Liberal Party maintain its majority in the Verkhovna Rada with 54% of the vote. Their policies and especially recently making peace with Russia have gained them widespread support. A new party emerged recently, called "Alternative for Ukraine," is a coalition of right wing groups and opposes ATO membership for the country. They get 6% of the vote in this election. Roman Gontyuk is once again President of Ukraine and Vasyl Krylenko is Prime Minister. Infrastructure projects continue to be worked on throughout Ukraine.
 * Bbc-logo-black-and-white.png BBC: Reporting from Benin, we're currently travelling towards Ghana to see the fighting on the... oh, dear god... dear god... it appears that a nuclear weapon has been detonated in Southeast Ghana. We have no further confirmation, but- oh, lord, you can see the cloud from here... what has happened- [Transmission cuts]

September 2064
''' The Lower Islamic Union detonates a nuclear device in the outskirts of the city of Dodi in Southeast Ghana. The result is the death of almost 10,000 civilians, the near-complete annihilation of the Tunisian 9th Infantry Division, totalling 40,000 deaths, and radioactive fallout spilling across the region. American troops in Accra watch as their Tunisian allies are killed by the first nuclear weapon used in real combat since 1945. Electronics in Southeast Ghana, as well as vehicles, aircraft and other motorised weaponry are rendered useless. '''
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Following the despicable nuclear detonation in Dodi, we set September 2064 as an official month of mourning for the lives lost, and September 18 as a national holiday, Nuclear Day. The Tunisian 9th Infantry Division has collectively and posthumously recieved the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Republic, the highest military award available in Tunisia, and already, “Remember the 9th” is being used as a battle cry amongst the commonfolk. The one surviving member of the 9th Infantry, Lt. Farid Zinadine, is hailed as a hero after returning from the Benin Front, and has easily become the face of the North African War to the rest of the world. After knowing that the LIU will not hesitate to use its nuclear weapons, the entire nation of Tunisia is declared to be in a state of emergency indefinitely, with scheduled presidential and parliamentary elections for later this year being posponed until after the war. Nuclear and bomb training has been racheted up to biweekly, and due to the lack of bomb shelters having been completed, residents are advised to keep stocks of food in their basements, and rural citizens are also warned that an influx of refugees from major cities may arrive at any moment depending on when the LIU decides to launch a nuclear weapon at us. The Tunis Metro is also stocked with hidden food supplies. After this despicable attack on not only the Tunisian nation, but world peace, and humanity itself, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE the United Nations and every nation on Earth to set aside our differences, and contribute to the war effort directly or indirectly. The Lower Islamic Union is not like other nations. They have a lunatic in power, not afraid to use Weapons of Mass Destruction indiscriminately on innocent civilians if it means delaying the inevitable fall of his tyrannical rule for just a few days. This is a threat to not just us, but humanity itself, and the quicker they fall, the better. [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We condemn the actions of the Lower Islamic Union. Member states Japan, Madagascar and Sweden send several reinforcements to Tunisian and American units in the region, while others supplying anti-ISAWA forces in the area.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Outrage not seen since the likes of 9/11 and Pearl Harbor quickly angers the nation's populace to a boiling point. Tunisian forces in the LIU being decimated, American troops are told to spread out to prevent massive causalities. President Zamora announces to a scared American public via the Net, swearing a quick death to the LIU and IWASA, and to ensure American (and Allied) troops are spared from another devastating attack. He swears revenge upon the Tunisian and American troops that died. The CIA is tasked with a momentous job, trumping all others (except for essential espionage and surveillance), to locate and capture anybody that had to do with this horrifying nuclear attack. We will make sure anyone captured is extradited to Tunisia, who deserves to bring swift justice upon these monsters. [Mod Response] While all troops in LIU are told to begin building defenses, and to stop any offensive push, airstrikes continue, much more frequently. Shelling begins of the coast, and the homes and workplaces of high ranking LIU officials are obliterated by missile strikes. The entire nation is geared towards war. A mandatory draft of all 18-22 year olds is instituted, as many eagerly sign up to defend the ideals of the US of A. An extreme bombing campaign of Ouagadougou begins, however, to avoid being the monsters of the LIU, only military and government buildings are bombed and destroyed. Civilian targets are spared. BS1 is in an experimental phase, we hope to have it in space by next year. We also ask Nigeria to a formal economic and military ally of the United States. They will receive funding from both the American public and private sectors, as well as allow the co-ordination against LIU to be swifter. [Mod Response] An amphibious landing at Abidjan, LIU begins, for no other reason than due to its natural harbors, and of course to liberate the city from the LIU. It is supplied by naval shelling, as well as aerial support. [Mod Response] In Panama, airstikes against Federation strongholds in Panama City occur, and we urge Free Panamanian Forces to launch a full on assault against the city. [Mod Response] More versatile infantry is sent to the dense forests of Panama. In the Alabama Special Senate Election of 2063, the New Republican Party edges out the Conservatives, indicating a shift to the right, however liberal strongholds such as Georgia, New York, and Texas still bleed a dark blue. To further the Tunisian point, enacting Article 5 of the Atlantic Treaty, we urge, nay, require all members of ATO to support, in some way, however minute it may be, the war against IWASA. Remaining members of the Rio Pact are urged to do so, too. [Mod Response]
 * United States Armed Forces: With all due respect, sir... there ain't no commanders left. They're all f#cking dead. There's no one to extradite. They're all fighting like they got nothin' to lose. We took Abidjan, but only after mowin' through row after row of crazed nuts comin' at us not even with AKs but just C4 strapped to their chests... sir, we need to take out the ISAWA council. I'm beggin' ya. For these men shouldn't have to be put in this kinda danger.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Orders are placed to kill every single last member of the ISAWA council (excluding those that have deserted ISAWA).
 * Flag of Panama.png Free Pananamian Coalition: Thank you, Americans. We have taken Panama City, and with it, we have taken back our country. Federation stragglers have escaped to occupied Nicaragua and back to their blasted home, but today, we are free. We are free from the Federation. Thank you for being there to help us when no one else would.
 * Flag of the United States.svg US Department of State: With the war for Panamanian independence and sovereignty over, we recognize the Free Republic of Panama as an independent nation. We ask Panama to join ATO, as Colombia right across the border is looking quite hungry for revenge. [Mod Response] We also send tons of aid, food, and begin rebuilding the infrastructure of Panama. We ask a provisional government be set up so the transition to a democratic, civilian government will be smooth. [Mod Response]
 * Rio Pact: We condemn the actions of ISAWA, but we are unable to send any reinforcements, preoccupied with the situation back here.
 * Atlantic Treaty Organisation.png Atlantic Treaty Organisation: With near unanimous support among European members, European and North American ATO members begin sending forces to assist the US with its efforts in the Lower Islamic Union.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We accept the American offer for an alliance.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: [Secret] East Russian Spetsnaz Command Team Six is deployed to the last known location of Number One, in Verkhoyansk; for any information and to locate any members that might reside there. [Mod Response] [End Secret] [Secret] The Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency begins to track down on Kudo Taichi's whereabouts along with finding more information about him. [Mod Response] [End Secret] The government condemns the actions of the Lower Islamic Union; and while unable to do anything due to location as well as focusing on other threats within the Siberian region; the government diplomatically supports Tunisia and sends condolences for them. Discussion begins on leaving the Association of East Asian Nations as the organisation's disregard of human rights in several nations is heavily questioned. Okhotsk Company releases a rhythm mobile game with card collecting elements; centred around Hundred Stars Pro and all their songs released so far; with more updates in the future.
 * Spetsnaz: We find intel stating that Number One's real name is actually Alexi Borodin, and his son, Victor Borodin, is currently residing in the State of Siberia's capital. We will move to capture Victor Borodin on your mark.
 * Eastern Russian Republic: The government allows the Spetsnaz Team Six to capture his brother for questioning. [Mod Response]
 * Spetsnaz: Borodin... Borodin shot himself as we were cornering him. We have no more leads now on the position of Alexi.
 * Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency: Kudo's whereabouts are confirmed to be in the United States of America, apparently having fled there after the American evacuation in 2043. We send an extradition request to the American government, or to be more polite, a request to question him at his home in the United States [American Response].
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: An American national, who has little concrete evidence stacked against him, will not be extradited across the Pacific to Siberia. However, the FBI will take Mr. Taichi into questioning. [Mod Response on Results of Questioning]
 * Federal Bureau of Investigation: Sir... Mr. Kudo refuses to speak to investigators and will only speak to Congress or the Senate. The session will happen next year. We've arranged with the a Congressional Committee to hear the man speak.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: The lights of Algiers go out in honour of the fallen in Dodi as part of the national mourning period, a move followed by several other major cities and towns. Underground train tunnels in population centres undergo modifications to be converted into bomb shelters at a moment's notice to protect the citizens of the State from potential bomb threats by the LIU, especially those located closer to the southern border such as Bamako and Niamey. Holy Leader Yusuf Taiyoob addresses the peoples of Northwest Africa during the mourning period at Algiers. "Today, we pay our respects to our brothers in Dido. We pay our respects to the fallen soldiers who fought valiantly against infidels. We pay respects to our fallen soldiers. Casualties are inevitable in any war, but in this war, the enemy did not fight with honour at all! They aimed to hurt bystanders. Men, women and children who did not pose any threat whatsoever, and they did so indiscriminately. They unleashed a force most unholy upon people of faith. I know not what Allah himself would say, but I know that he disapproves! The infidels have dared to strike the true followers of Allah! I promise all of you, justice will be brought against these false followers! Our bullets will block out the sun!" His speech, having been broadcast throughout the nation, improves soldier morale significantly in some areas, inspiring soldiers to not only fight for survival, but to fight for revenge and retribution. With this in mind, assaults are ordered against former Burkina Faso as well as Morocco. [Mod Response Needed] In other news, the Green Sahara Project has successfully turned approximately 60 square kilometres of land arable and formed a few notable artificial rivers. In the coming years, we aim to increase the number of desalination plants and therefore water output, as well as pipe network size and pipe thickness to direct more water into the desert.
 * New Islamic Army of North Africa: Our bretheren from Morocco are quick to denounce the infidels in their government, with many of them joining us in our fight to destroy the infidels that are ISAWA. We advance quickly and swiftly into Fes and Khenrifa. We also move into Koudougou in former Burkina Faso, fighting against LIU units attempting to defend their infidelity.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: After two and a half year of absence, the situation is fine despite the war in North Africa is becoming a crisis for us. The NDFP - despite their strong popularity in some of the regions - has completely collapsed after constant infighting between the party higher-ups of who ordered the murder of CDSU chairman and Chancellor candidate Schwarz Hagen (which was still unsolved to this day) and the sudden disappearance of ite leader, Hermann von Lutz, out-of-blue. As the NDFP collapses, we began arresting its high-ranking members as well as putting our Bundespolizei under high alert to prevent large scale riots perpetrated by loyal NDFP supporters. Seeing the war in North Africa became worse and worse as we stay behind, watching the chaos unfolding. We decide to join the North African war by sending our 35,000 troops under the newly-formed ‘Afrika Korps’ to help our fellow French soldiers fighting against the heavy resistance of LIU forces, as well as conquering remnants of LIU forces still occupied in some areas [Mod response on success]. After hearing the sudden nuclear strike by the ISAWA, we began trading our weaponry to the NINSA as well as Tunisian forces and began a campaign of striking ISAWA positions they still held firmly. Meanwhile, we send our 10,000 troops to the newly-formed Saudi Rebels to help clear them of the House of Saud remnants in the country itself as well as sending weaponry to buff the rebel forces itself [Mod response needed]. [SECRET] After seeing United States, France and United Kingdom had their own A.I projects as well as the French plans to create an android-like soldiers with an A.I program in it, we decided to began our own A.I program codename Erika and an our version of android-like soldiers project that we will call it T-Dolls - or Tactical Dolls - that will be finished by the time of either five or seven years, if we were successful on it[/SECRET].
 * Afrika Korps: We mostly assist US forces in Accra break out of their perimeter after the EMP from the nuclear blast.
 * Flag of Democratic Arabia.png Democratic Arabia: We thank Germany for its assistance in this conflict. We will continue to advance towards Medina with the increased support.

2065
''' The economic situation internationally slowly begins to recover after the shock of the nuclear detonation in the Lower Islamic Union. Countries across the world begin to freeze or confiscate ISAWA assets under the ownership or possession of LIU individuals, Switzerland in particular freezing LIU assets totalling 1.2 billion USD. '''

''' The situation in Hokkaido only worsens, as JSDF forces find themselves either missing or dead across the island's Northern and Eastern areas, retreating to Sapporo to prevent any further damage. The Japanese government begins a mass evacuation of Hokkaido residents to the Southwest, Sapporo and Hakodate taking in large amounts of evacuees. They also acknowledge the highly unusual nature of individuals affected by the apparent Mass Rabies syndrome, now renamed Insanity Syndrome. '''

''' Syria, Iraq, Palestine and Israel rejoin the United Nations en masse. The organisation, gradually recovering from the mass exodus of members during the 2020s, begins to pick up power again, although it has yet to pick up any influential world powers among those rejoining it. '''

''' The Republic of Panama, reformed after American intervention in the country, immediately sets about neutralising Federation forces in Occupied Nicaragua and ridding the land within its borders of Federation elements. It is assisted continually by the United States Armed Forces and U.S Government. '''
 * CCP Flag.png China: We embargo the LIU. 10,000 support Troops are offered to Tunisia (Tunisian response needed). The Eastern Russian Republic is asked to reconsider withdrawing from the AEAN. We offer the ERR large quanities of gold as a peace offering (Eastern Russian Republic response needed)


 * Tunisian Dip: We accept.
 * Kuro: China is at war with the AEAN and in addition the ERR, so this proposal is completely out of the blue. Sorry, but no.
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: As the situation in North African War grows worser as it passes, we beefed our Afrika Corps with additional 20,000 troops to help the American forces in Ghana as well as offering NINSA and Tunisia a fresh weaponry they needed and our advisors to train their troops harder[Player response needed]. We launched surgical strikes against the last remaining positions of the Saud forces as well sending more weaponry to the Democratic Arabian forces as well. [SECRET] As a result of our participation in these two wars, we believe that our internal security is under threat and we have the solution to provide it. Chancellor Viktor Hoffmann created an two black-ops agencies that will only answer to the Chancellor itself. The intelligence/Gestapo (or Stasi)-style secret police known as Military Intelligence Unit, or MIU for short. And the Schutzstaffel-style black-ops paramilitary/special-ops unit known as International Reaction Unit of Military Affairs, or IRUMA for short. We send 300 IRUMA operators into deep enemy territory of LIU to target its high-ranking members and sabotaging research and supply facilities they dearly needed under the Operation: Last Hope. As well as sending 150 IRUMA operators to track down last members of the House of Saud under the Operation: Kingslayer[Mod response of two black-ops operation success][END OF SECRET]. We also offer Japan to help out the outbreak they experienced in Hokkaido by sending 5,000 troops in that infected region[Japanese player response needed]. [Working-in-progress, will be finished tomorrow by morning in Philippine Standard Time - Burgundy]
 * Tunisian Dip: We accept.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Since the leader doesn't have much to do for the war, the government accepts this deal.
 * The Progenitor of Project 'Phoenix' and apparent creator of the crisis occurring in Hokkaido testifies before U.S Congress.


 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The government decides these Great Isles will join the war against the LIU. Immediately, a convoy of 6 destroyers and 1 aircraft carrier are deployed alongside a convoy of Navy transporters and Army aircraft carrying a whole Army division of around 10,000 troops and all the necessary artillery, armored vehicles, and tanks, as well as various Army support craft. Unannounced to the public, the day before the Navy-Army task force arrive, the Cyber Force launched the largest cyber attack seen in recent history. It targeted the power grid of Monrovia city and its surrounding districts and successfully switched off all power to the city by overloading the power stations. Under cover of darkness, SAS teams were parachuted in and managed to capture most high level City officials. On that same night, a joint Air Force-Marines shock force launched an assault on the nearby LIU military bases. Once the Marines had been parachuted in or arrived via fishing boats under cover of night, the Air Force began heavily pounding the bases with air power. Immediately, the Marines on the ground began assaulting the bases and by the time the Navy and Army arrived offshore, most of the minor bases and outposts had been captured. As dawn broke, Army vehicles began unloading or parachuting (yes you can airdrop tanks) North, East, and West of the city, and by Night 2 the city was surrounded. With the city cut off from all sides, the Cyber Forces working tirelessly back in the UK to prevent a return off electricity, constant air attacks on military bases, teams of Marines patrolling the streets (to keep LIU forces in their bases and civilians in their homes), and the SAS having rounded up all high-level City officials, the city of Monrovia appears to be in a siege it cannot win. [Mod Response on whether siege ends this year and city is fully captured]
 * Mod Response: Monrovia is fully captured before June, and British troops begin to move into the rest of former Liberia.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The Ukrainian government reacts to the Islamic Union's attack by providing full support to those countries operating against the terrorists. However the Ukrainian military itself will not be deployed abroad, but will provide what logistical and intelligence support it can. Since hosting the 2064 Olympics, Ukraine is becoming a sports powerhouse, and more money is given to fund the Ministry of Sports to continue developing this. The 2065 census reports that Ukraine's population continues to grow at a steady rate. The high speed Inner City lines connecting most of the country's major cities are complete and open for public use this year. The music of Viktor Tsoi and his band Kino from the 1980s sees a resurgence in popularity, with some of his songs being given a vaporwave remix and becoming popular again.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: After some discussion, the government votes to withdraw from the Association of East Asian Nations, effective immediately. Also in light of the outbreak, the government, after some debate, shuts down the "border" with Japan and also any railway/road links that lead to Sakhalin; and prohibits any Japanese ships and planes that arrive from Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Japanese Kurils; and restricting all sea and air travel from the rest of the nation. Some of the military is put on high alert in the areas close to the Sea of Japan, Strait of Tartary, and the East Russian Kurils. The government announces to Japan that we will not tolerate the horrors that have occurred that "slipped" by the government's eyes; and at the same time, the government does not want nor has plans for war with Japan; and the nation is acting in self-defense to prevent the spread of such a horrible disease. The government begins a new policy and looks to go their way, independent of everyone else; and begins working towards building stronger ties with the Siberian nations. A few companies in Vladivostok relocate to their secondary headquarters in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky while still keeping some operations open in Vladivostok. Artyom Inc. releases their own rhythm mobile game centred around Winterland as well as two new music groups, Shattered Crystal and Iris Ruthenica. Two new notable cover versions are also released this year: GO MY WAY!!, originally by 765 Pro, covered by Winterland; and Rivers in the Desert, from the game Persona 5, covered by Shattered Crystal. The death of Victor Borodin causes much frustration in the government; nevertheless, the government continues to work together with the Siberian nations in hunting down 13th Parallel and their leader Alexi Borodin at all costs. [Secret] The Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency continues to track down the whereabouts of 13th parallel; and also begins to keep an eye on the recent outbreak from Japan. [End Secret]
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: If you wanna do this, it's up to you. Also the nation doesn't take the blame for this, as it happened outrageously out of nowhere, and the nation has no vaccine to cure the outspread of the zombies.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The nation is very agitated about the situation in Hokkaido, and orders all troops and tanks stationed in Hokkaido and Sakhalin to return to the Japanese city of Tokyo and send them home to the soldiers families. All training orders from the leader of Japan are cut off and all military operations on China are shut down, as the Chinese are becoming less and less of a denunciation by Japanese generals. Meanwhile, the 2065 Japanese general elections are here, and the Liberal Democratic Party takes the most seats in the, gaining 289 seats in the House, with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan leading the next seat gain with 65 seats, and the Socialist Party gaining 44 seats in the House of Representatives. Akane was a supporter of the Liberal Democratic Party, so she is elected for a second term. She continues the mass evacuee of residents in Hokkaido and also sending her personnel and artillery home to Tokyo.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Mr. Kudo is taken into federal custody, and subject to more thorough interviews than his testimony to Congress, as the CIA begins investigations into the recent outbreak in Japan. [Mod Response on Investigation and Interview of Mr.Kudo] Air and sea travel from Sapporo and other Hokkaidan cities is completely shut down, as citizens worry outbreak the "nanobot" outbreak in Hokkaido. In the 2064 elections, Zamora cruises to an easy victory, winning 487 electoral votes in the 2064 elections, as the newly formed COTU and NLP fail to have any serious challenger following the fall of the Democratic Party. Troops from our base in Accra and Cape Coast begin traversing the N8 freeway in former Ghana to reach the city of Kumasi, where we hope to secure the strategically important city. [Mod Response] The 49th and 50th Armored Divisions are sent, as well air support from a ragtag, recently converted civilian airport in Cape Coast. In preparation for the invasion, airstrikes occur heavily on Kumasi. American troops are still battling LIU and ISAWA ones in Lome, where a vicious battle for the city occurs. [Mod Response on outcome of battle] In Panama, we ask the newly formed Republic to join ATO, for protection against Colombia and Costa Rica, two aggressive puppets of the Federation. [Mod Response] US troops will remain in Panama, but most of them will be situated in La Concepcion, Río Sereno, Puerto Armuelles, and Yaziva, as the front line of defense against any attack by the Federation. Allowing Panama to maintain sovereignty, the Panama Canal Zone will be administered by Panama, and for the first time since the Federation gained control of Panama, the Panama Canal can be used freely by anybody (excluding, of course, the Federation itself). We begin rebuilding efforts in Panama City. In the Arizona desert, millions gather on October 11, 2064 to watch the first components of Battle Star Freedom, a large, expansive space station designed primarily for scientific and military purposes, be launched up into space via rocket. Amtrak HypLoop 1 is completed after years of exhausting work by human overseers and automated robots. It connects the cities of Boston and New York, in an immensely short trip spanning ~10 minutes. Although ticket fares are high, at $400 (in 2064 dollars, $50 in 2018 money), it not only connects New York and Boston, but New Haven, Hartford, and Providence. HypLoop 2 is expected to connect New York to Philadelphia, and eventually Baltimore and Washington, and HypLoop 3 to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco, taking the load off of California's deteriorating high speed train network. Of course, these projects will not see fruition until the 2080s, due to limited funding, especially with a Conservative government. Wanting closer ties with the Mexican government, we suggest the implementation of the amero now, and of course, ask the Canadian government to do the same thing. [Mod/Player Response] We also ask for effectively free borders with Canada, and a shared border police with one database, so a criminal caught in Canada would be extradited to the US immediately, and vice versa. The shared border police would be administered by both governments. [Canadian Response] We also ask Mexico for a shared border police, but hold off on open borders for obvious reasons. [Mod Response] The United States begins to fund ATO more, even as the MDP becomes more of a reactive alliance. [secret] The United States military begins work on "simulated persons", people that theoretically have personalities, opinions, thoughts, and feelings, but exist only on a computer. It is based on a prototype deep learning network being developed by the DoD. [end secret] The Agency for Cyber Intelligence and Defense (ACID) is created to work on these and other AI projects, cyber warfare, and also the mundane act of automating most bureaucratic and government jobs and making the federal government more efficient. The Executive Committee on Digital Ethics (ECDC) is created, with national and international digital and ethics experts, to discuss the possible ramifications of military projects dealing with artificial intelligence. American electronics company Aardvark, based in Mountain View, California, perfects its new and innovative virtual reality pods, virpods, allowing people to live any dream they wanted, for the low, low, price of $12,999.99!
 * Congressional Committee regarding Human Experimentation in Hokkaido, Japan: Mr. Kudo confirms several of our suspicions, that 1), as of current, there is no technology available to stop the outbreak in Hokkaido by medical means, 2), that the outbreak in Hokkaido is also possible to become airborne and may promote further infections across the world, and finally, 3), that he is not responsible for anything regarding the outbreak. The Japanese Government is singularly responsible for the outbreak as well as the weaponisation of what we are referring to as 'nanobotlia'.
 * Flag of Mexico.png Mexico: We accept America's proposal. We will begin the work of jointly running the border soon enough.
 * United States Armed Forces: We've taken Lome after fighting through... uh... just about ninety-percent of the remaining LIU army. But sir, it looks kind of like civies are starting to join the LIU forces en f#ckin' masse. We'll get to it eventually, but I don't like the way this is lookin'.
 * Flag of Panama.png Panama: We agree to join the ATO. We apply for membership immediately, hoping to join as fast as possible. We also thank America for keeping forces in Panama, which will surely help to stabilise the situation.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Following a series of world scandals, our government announces the condemnation the use of nukes by the LIU, announcing a ray of tariffs on the country, as well as human experimentation in other AEAN nations. New Delhi continues expansion and development, as of 2065 it's reported to have a population of 54.2069 million people. The construction of a 1.5 mile tall tower in the city has begun. In hopes of creating a counterweight to the LIU, we send diplomatic envoys to Tunisia to establish a fully fledged relation. [Tunisian Response Needed] In efforts to modernize our military, we offer $35 billion to the US in exchange for 20 tanks, 6 cruisers, and 10,000 of the most up-to-date guns. [American Response Needed]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We agree to the arms deal, and hope this is a new era of cooperation between our countries.
 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: The Finnish government condemns nuclear attacks by the Lower Islamic Union. We offer assistances to the US–Tunisia led-coalition with medical support and weaponry supplies, as well as humanitarian support for civillians in Allied-occupied territory. Finnish government issues travel advice for Finnish nationals travelling to Japan, due to recent disease outbreak in Hokkaido. Construction of the Archipelago Bridge is finally completed, and operational starts this year. The brdge connects the Finnish mainland, Åland Islands, and several islands in the Archipelago Sea. Meanwhile, construction of Mariehamn–Stockholm bridge has started.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Troops along the Northern Benin and Southern Fronts are ordered to push into the Lower Islamic Union heartland of Burkina Faso, with speed being of the utmost concern, as the nation cannot afford another nuclear debacle like the one last year. What remains of the Southern Benin front is merged into the Accra front. On the Accra front, troops are told to avoid proceeding east of Lake Volta, and are ordered to proceed towards Kumasi, and for a small contingent to take out the Ghanaian coast and link up with the French in Abidjan [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. The state of emergency is still kept in place, and stockpiling for a potential nuclear strike on a Tunisian city is continued. Due to this, progress on the Green Sahara project is slower than expected for this year, however, another 50 square kilometers of farmland are added in Tunisian territory, and the expansion of the Libyan Great Manmade River, as well as the refilling of Lake Chad, is going more or less on schedule. The Tunis-Sousse bullet train line has also been expanded north, now reaching Bizerte.
 * Contingient Bravo: We've linked up with French forces at Abidjan and are denying LIU forces their last coast, but they are fighting hard to keep it open. We'll continue holding at this position with our French allies.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We request to coordinate our military actions with Tunisia, especially on the Accra front, as well as share intelligence, to better coordinate the war effort against LIU.
 * Tunisian Dip: We accept.

2066
''' The Lower Islamic Union, pushed to the very edge with little to no access to any trade routes and collapsing in on itself, finally surrenders following the American capture of Lome. Its leader, Abu-Ismail Al Bagdadhi, surrenders to American forces in Accra, and the entire LIU resistance finally collapses. Following this, the Holy State of Sarahwi and Morocco also capitulates. The decision for the post-war settlement has yet to be decided by the victors. With 1.34 million dead, 71% of which were civilians, the war has become one of the deadliest in human history. '''

''' Elsehwhere, in Arabia, the Medina stronghold finally collapses to Democratic Arabian Forces troops as the Arabian Civil War comes to an end with a decisive Democratic victory. Africa and the Middle East are finally at peace after more than a century of constant war. '''

''' Alexi Borodin launches an ambitious attack on the State of Siberia's government, killing the President of Siberia and destabilising the country to the point that it is on the brink of non-existence. Western Russian forces march into Norosibrsk as the 13th Parallel begins to take violent control of the country, allegations of Chinese funding coming into play. The control of nuclear weapons in Siberia becomes tenuous, with no party able to control the country's numerous nuclear facilities from the Cold War. '''

''' Global Cooling continues across the world. The Maldives re-emerge from the Indian Ocean, and the event is celebrated by millions across Asia as a sign of good things to come. The islands remain deserted as of current, but they continue to rise above dropping sea levels. Elsewhere, the elevated neighbourhoods of San Francisco find themselves higher and higher above water, with the elevation and dykes built in the city seeming increasingly unnecessary. Singapore's Chinatown also becomes dry land for the first time in fourty years. '''

''' The 'zombie apocalypse' in Hokkaido comes to a head as JSDF forces buckle under siege, but hold out, protecting Sapporo and most of Southwestern Hokkaido from nanobot-infected hordes. Taichi Kudo, the last remaining member of the Japanese Scientific Association outside of Japanese government jurisdiction, becomes part of the U.S Task Force to investigate and hopefully stop the infection. This may be too late, however, as several incidents are reported in China of a similar nature as to that of the first infection in Tomamu. '''
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With word of the infection spreading to China, the border with China is heavily under surveillance to make sure the disease does not cross over. The government, taken by shock of the fall of the State of Siberia to the 13th parallel and the interference of West Russia; offers Western Russia to open diplomatic relations, and willing to put aside past feuds and work together, and also co-operate against the 13th parallel. [Mod Response] [Secret] The Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency continues to keep an eye not only on the outbreak in Japan but in China as well. In the meantime, the agency also investigates both the Chinese Scientific Association and the Japanese Scientific Association for more information about the experiments and anything else of special interest. [Mod Response] [End Secret] Okhotsk Company releases a film centred around Hundred Stars Pro is released in theatres; while the first season centred around Winterland is released by Artyom Inc. Shattered Crystal cover's of Light The Fire Up In The Night from Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth; becomes the most popular cover from the three music bands from Artyom Inc. this year. The first high speed trains are introduced to selected railways, with plans of further expansion underway; and several new railways are also approved for construction. The military continues to update their arsenical as they are given another boost in budget.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Da. We accept the Eastern Russian proposal to co-operate against the 13th Parallel. Good luck, comrade.
 * Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency: Thirteen of the fifteen original members of the JSA are dead or declared missing, with the two remaining members being Kudo and Takeda Shiro, who has additionally been declared missing since December last year. The oddity is that Takeda is the only member of the JSA whose children disappeared along with him; his son and his son's friend have also vanished into thin air. The Chinese Scientific Association, with a hundred members, is all but vanished, and we believe that they were absorbed into the Communist Party Science Division of China, although we cannot dig much further.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: After three-and-a-half years of our operations against the LIU forces, we’ve finally managed to win the war despite the relative light casualties we’ve suffered in the timeline. With question of war now out of circulation, the question of occupying former LIU territories became an contentious point as we are waiting for the agreement to sign on how to share its occupied between three main ATO partners who did the most work (United States, United Kingdom and France). For now however, we placed our Afrika Korps under the command of U.S occupational sector as well placing them into highway chokepoints that may be frequented by remnant LIU forces, bandits and even warlords. Meanwhile, the civil war in Arabia has finally come into an end with the victory of Democratic Arabian rebels itself. Despite the end of civil war, threat is still out there for isolated bands of Kingdom’s forces and we decided to flush them out for good [’Mod response needed]. ['  SECRET]After hearing the rebellion by the 13th Parallel in Siberia that put Republic of Siberia into oblivion, we believed that this rebellion may be the chance for our ATO cohorts to put an country - aligned with the ATO - in the vastness of Siberia itself. We offer the 13th Parallel with weaponry, important supplies and 20,000 troops (both from Bundeswehr and our newly-formed IRUMA units, in which the of our troops will be added by 5,000 soldiers per month) that they needed for the long run against the both factions (West Russia and East Russian Republic) [Mod response needed]. We began sending our Military Internal Unit agents - or MIU for short - to neutralize (or kidnap and bring to Germany under secrecy and tortured it for intel) every Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency cells operating in that war-torn region[END OF SECRET] . On the domestic front, we completely banned the usage of Fossil Fuels and began replacing it with alternative energy sources, infrastructure projects have popping-up in ever points of our country and rise of popularity of an music genre that spread like wildfire known as NatPop - or National Pop music genre for short - after the release of an song by an pop group known as Der Flowahlazer known as O’h Rommel (in which, an cover of Snow Halation anyway). [SECRET] The completion rate of our Erika A.I project is now at 40 percent and it is still continuing its debugging tests as well as adding the ability of our A.I to hack any technologies used by every major powers around the world - and that includes the ATO itself - in which we tested it on an electrical grid in Los Angeles city, losing its power from that region. T-Doll research is still on progress, but we managed to based our first generation of T-Dolls (in case if we were sucessful) unto an fictional android girl known as 2B of NieR: Automata fame itself[END OF SECRET].

''' The belligerents of the North African War sign the Final Agreement on Partition and Occupation of North Africa. The document is a guideline for the next decades in the region's future. '''
 *  The 13th Parallel:  [Encrypted Channel] Thank you, komrad. We will ensure your allies remain none the wiser, but if you try anything funny, know that we still have ways to blackmail your government. [Encrypted Channel End]
 * Flag of Germany.png German Dip: [Encrypted Channel] We appreciate your concerns. More weaponry and troops are heading your. If we are the victors of this war, we will stun them of how unfair the world they are...[Encrypted Channel end]
 * Mod Response: No. No no no. You are not doing this, Ordenstaat. This is an unethical and ridiculous decision for Germany as part of the ATO. One strike. Do anything crazy like this again and I'll have to do the ban hammer.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png New Islamic State of Northwest Africa: We celebrate with the end of the North African War in sight, and begin drawing plans to flush any extremist dissidents from occupied territory. Prisoners of war are rounded up and registered for the smooth facilitation of return after the war. [Secret] They are secretly executed by firing squad. Personnel present are placed under surveillance to ensure no extremist or anti-government ideals take root. [End Secret] With more resources being devoted to the Green Sahara Project, another 72 square kilometres of arable land is raised out of barren earth. Another 4 desalination plants are under construction in various cities along the Mediterranean, and another 200 kilometres of pipeline planned to be laid in the Sahara. Suggestions to tow icebergs from the Arctic Circle down to boost water production begin to be taken seriously. A notable portion of the population and government propose the deployment of an ice-tugger boat. Should the requests of the Northwest African State be approved in the final peace treaty for the North African War, Holy Leader Yusuf Taiyoob has proposed that the State be renamed the Islamic Republic of Maghreb, a change to be finalised in the coming years. Investments are made in major industries to increase economic output, growth and development. New manufacturing machines are bought from foreign nations like Japan and Germany, and distributed to top manufacturers and newer promising firms. We begin to slowly open up trade with the outside world, but this is mainly restricted to government deals.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The capture of the tyrant Abu-Ismail Al Bagdadhi by Seal Team Six is captured live, and broadcast all over the Net. All Seal Team Six members involved in the capture are awarded Congressional Medals of Honor. March 21st, the day of his capture, becomes Democracy Day, celebrating the different democratic nations of the world. We discuss with our fellow victorious allies in Paris. While the Secretary of State debates with his fellow contemporaries in the city of Paris, thousands of brave American soldiers return home. However, the US will remain a large presence over the southern LIU until an agreement could be arranged in Paris. As the draft lottery ends, immediate construction begins on a modern monument to those that bravely risked their lives, the Northwest War Veterans Memorial. It will be built in Washington, D.C, just across from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Meanwhile, the Department of State issues a stern warning to all traveling to China or Japan. New scanning devices are placed in airports, courtesy of the TSA, which can easily detect not only possible weapons and devices (using 3D scanning technology, among other things), but are supposedly able to see certain ailments. They are programmed to check for nanobots in the person's bloodstream. On the topic of airports, New York's LaGuardia Airport is the first to insert GAMA, an artificial intelligence in charge of the airport. It is able to nearly completely minimize airport security, while still keeping it safe. The implementation of a shared border police between Mexico and the United States is wholly more efficient than separate ones. Border security is loosened with Mexico. The first simulated person, Chad, is created by the Department of Defense. Chad is an amalgamation of the personalities of 7 DoD employees, creating a unique, and ultimately human, "simulated person". Of course, it is impossible for him to remember anything before he existed, that technology is too out of reach. WIP
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The zombie outbreak has gotten worse up in Hokkaido. However, the JSDF held under siege in Sapporo and most of southwest Hokkaido. [Secret] The nation is holding a training convection to soldiers who want to train to sabotage the rogue zombies. The training convection will be held in Tokyo and Osaka, and will take place from 8:00 AM till 3:00 PM. During that time, the soldiers will learn to shoot accurately with everything the soldiers have in the arsenal from hand weapons to Rail gun technology. If all else fails to kill these zombies, then the leader orders the people to cross their fingers and hope they don't get infected or anything. [End Secret] The nation contacts most of the AEAN for fundamental aid for the nation, to help to sabotage the zombies [Mod/Player Response] The same offer goes to China, however the nation does ask for protection with Chinese arsenal in exchange for protection with Japanese arsenal [Player Response]. After hearing of the capturing of the LIU leader Abu-Ismail Al Bagdadhi, the nation is glad to hear about the capturing, while mourning the loss of the brave soldiers in the fight. March 21 marks the day Abu-Ismail Al Bagdadhi is captured from his tyrany, and March 25th marks Mourning Day, where the nations involved in the wars mourn the losses of their service agents and those who lost their lives fighting this tyrannical monster and his friends. The date is also the day where the Japanese mourn the losses of those who fought bravely. Akane's speech influenced many soldiers and Japanese civilians to fight till the last second and be brave when a fight doesn't go their way. Many soldiers in Hokkaido were influenced by the actions of the leaders across the 5 nations who fought in the world, and the wise words of Akane's speech in Tokyo. The siege against zombies still goes on in Sapporo and southwestern areas of Hokkaido.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Due to the end of the North African War, we lift the state of emergency, and are currently organizing presidential and parliamentary elections postponed due to the war. These elections will take place on January of 2067. Already, President Youssef Ben Ali has announced that he will not be seeking re-election or any further role in politics, citing his “obstruction of Tunisian democracy in order for the country to function through the war more efficiently”. From the Final Agreement on Partition and Occupation of North Africa, the Tunisian nation is granted an occupation zone in Burkina Faso, the heartland of the former Lower Islamic Union. We begin working to establish a functioning democratic government there. The North African War Memorial is built in Tozeur, the home of most of the Tunisian 9th Infantry Division, to commemorate all the lives lost in fighting the extremist tyrants once known as the Lower Islamic Union. Meanwhile, travel advisories are issued to Japan and China, and travel into Hokkaido is strictly forbidden, due to the mysterious “zombie plague”. The Siberian government-in-exile is also offered asylum in Tunis, where they will be able to continue operating [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. The Green Sahara project is now back on track as well, with another 100 square kilometers of farmland added in Tunisia, 60 in Libya, and 50 in Chad. The refilling of Lake Chad is also on schedule, with the lake now being around 50% of its original size in the mid-20th century. Looking domestically, the Tunisian bullet train route has been extended up to Sfax, and all of the new highways detailed on the Infrastructure Overhaul plan have been completed. Expansions to Tunis-Carthage International Airport have also been completed, with the airport now having four runways and a new terminal, modeled on Singapore’s Changi Airport. These expansions are aimed to make Tunis-Carthage into a world aviation hub rivalling other hubs like Dubai.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svg Reformed Republic of Burkina Faso: The reformed Republic of Burkina Faso is signed into existence on December 3, 2066, in Ouagadougou. However, the nation is still ruled by martial law, with Tunisian troops patrolling the streets and enforcing law and order. Elections are being organized, and will take place on January of 2067, on the same day as the Tunisian elections. Our new currency is the Credit, which will be pegged to the Tunisian dinar at a rate of 3:1. However, until 2070, Lower Islamic dinars will still be legal tender. The first priority currently is restoring basic amenities such as food, water, and medical care, and rebuilding major cities that were bombed out.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The American Occupation Zone in West Africa is split into the Liberian Territory, Lagunes Territory (south Ivory Coast), Volta Territory (southeast Ghana), Ashanti Territory (central and west Ghana), Ghana Territory (north Ghana and north Togo), and Togo Territory (south Togo). They will be administered from Accra. The 30th amendment is proposed, reforming the voting system and abolishing first-past-the-post. It is unknown whether this amendment will pass, or be left in annuls of history.
 * American Occupied West Africa.png American Occupied West Africa: Administered from Accra, our first order of business is ensuring peace and order. The American Provisional Military Government (APMG) is established in Accra. Funds from the United States roll in, and rebuilding efforts commence almost immediately. In Ghana's Independence Square, a statue of the founder of the Lower Islamic Union is destroyed, and Ghana's Parliament House becomes the headquarters for the APMG. Several key roads are being rebuilt, as American troops patrol the streets. In all major cities, "life camps" are set up, designed to provide food, shelter, medicine, water, and electricity to the people. We are in the process of setting up governments for all territories. In Monrovia, chaos has enveloped the streets as British troops leave. Without power and very little access to water, cannot help the people of Monrovia alone. We ask the Red Cross and United Nations for assistance. [Mod Response] We begin publishing "The World", an English and French newspaper designed to re-educate the citizens of the former LIU and rid the horrible roots of extremism. Internet access is restored to government and military offices.
 * British Forces: WE DO NOT LEAVE! WE DO NOT LEAVE! Read the damn agreement. Liberia is under British and French control.
 * American Occupied West Africa.png American Occupied West Africa: According to the Treaty of Paris, Britain controls the western portion of the former African nation of Guinea, while America controls Liberia.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: This country remains an island of stability despite all of the chaos going on in the world. The Ukrainian military is currently at 177,000 troops, as projected, while the National Guard is still being organized to its projected strength of 98,000. Construction of high speed Inner City train lines begins in small towns, branching out from major cities that are all connected by the new railway. Ukrainian athletes continue training for sports competitions.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the defeat of LIU and the surrender of LIU forces, all LIU military personnel in Monrovia (now known as British Monrovia) have been disarmed and sent home. All former LIU military bases in the territory are now occupied and controlled by British forces. Following the signing of the post-war agreement, a 2-chamber parliament is formed to govern British Guinea, the much larger British occupation zone. The Parliament is made of a Senate and a House of Commons. The House of Commons has 155 seats and is democratically elected while the Senate is a much smaller upper house consisting of 51 Senators appointed by the British Governor (who serves as appointed executive governor of the territory). Wiser from Britain colonial past, the mistake of not allowing home rule is not made again. Meanwhile, all means of travel in and out of Britain have increased the threat level to critical, and new medical tests are conducted on board planes on the tarmac, on board ships before anything can be disembarked, and on cars entering via the Channel tunnel in newly built checkpoints. Any craft or people that fail the tests will be sent back where they came from. [Secret] In other news, MI6 launches a covert operation in Siberia to locate and deactivate nuclear missiles. GCHQ operatives assist by launching a worm virus that infects all Siberian computer systems but only activates when it identifies it is within a missile silo. [Mod Response] [/Secret] Meanwhile, Britain asks America if they would like the assistance of British scientists and intelligence services in investigating the Japanese outbreak. [Player Response - You may take lead in the investigation if you agree] Last but not least, [Secret] the MoD begins research into sonic and concentrated energy weapons. Separately, the British Space Agency collaborates with the MoD to develop kinetic Bombardment technology. Britain inquires if America would be willing to share their technology with Britain to help develop a homegrown kinetic bombardment system. [Player Response] [/Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We would gladly accept British intelligence, as this nanobot invasion concerns all the nations and peoples of the world. We share some intelligence about our Battle Star system with British intelligence, to protect the British Isles from possible foreign attack.
 * GCHQ: Well, I suppose It'd have worked if there were internet connections to these facilities... but no. Sorry mate, but they hadn't hooked it up before the entire country went ablaze.

2067
''' The stock markets in Europe gain traction as the wars the ATO have been embroiled in mostly end, but elsewhere, Asia does not look good. With an entire major country collapsing, airlines are yet again forced to switch back to routes over the Indian Ocean, as are most commercial aircraft, to avoid the chaos of the 13th Parallel in the State of Siberia. The Japanese economy stagnates due to the fiasco in Hokkaido, and the Eastern Russian Republic experiences an influx of Hokkaido immigrants. '''

''' The nanobot infection in China continues to spread unabated with large-scale incidents of violence and thousands of deaths in Beijing. The Chinese Premier is apparently infected as images show a rabid Premier walking on the streets of the Chinese capital. Elsewhere, the People's Liberation Army refuses to blockade Beijing and facilitate an evacuation as the Communist Party of China erupts into total chaos. '''

''' The establishment of the Final Agreement on Partition and Occupation of North Africa promotes stability in the region as investors and economic migrants from the United Kingdom and Germany flock to the region, where American, British, French, Northwest African and Tunisian occupation zones make immense economic growth seem highly likely. The region starts to become host to multiple companies, Nigeria, the most liberalised out of all of them, getting the bulk of the nations. '''

''' The South American War goes smoothly as for the first time in two decades, no major Federation force threatens Mexico or most of Central America. The Federation continues to find itself surrounded on all sides, losing its most major source of arms and funding, ISAWA. China continues a one-man army to supply the Federation, with Chinese ships belligerently flouting US sanctions to send arms to the Federation. Chilean troops continue to advance North as Chile is mostly cleared of Federation elements. '''

''' The incoming launch of the Battlestar system provokes the Federation to finally launch their own system, THOR, into Low Earth Orbit. The system appears quiet, but further launches suggest that the Federation is beginning to arm the system with Kinetic Energy Missiles, which are satirised due to their similarity to the in-game event from Call of Duty: Ghosts, released in 2013.

 * Flag of Australia.png Australia: Despite not being involved in the North African war Australia still rejoices at it’s end, as it was a major atrocity. Seeing much potential in the Green Sahara project Australia embarks on its own project, the “Agricultural Outback Initiative“ the Australian government invests $20 billion in building several desalination plants as well as pipelines from northern Queensland to the Northern Territory and Western Australia by 2074-2077. Australia also invests $15 billion in the Green Sahara Project. Australia also begins the construction of its first nuclear power station which when completed in 2071 will power the city of Perth. Seeing the “zombie apocalypse” in Asia as a very real threat, all flights into Australia from China, Korea and Japan are strictly monitored, and anyone who shows any symptoms will be sent back to the country they came from, however Australia does offer aid to any nation in which the horde appears and offers to send military aid to Japan and China if they require it(Player Responses)
 * Flag of India.svg India: With the Bot Crisis (as we've termed the nanobot outbreak) reaching China, a densely populated country, we call on our northern allies East Turkestan and Tibet to close their borders with China. We ask Nepal, Bhutan, and Bengladesh to close off all maritime and aerial trade with non-AEAN members as well as Japan. We recommend to our allies in the Middle East to begin preparing in case the outbreak spreads to them. [Mod Response Needed] The government begins to formulate a plan to safely research the nanobots, in case we are able to halt it. We call on other major nations, such as the US, to join us in this endeavor. [American Response Needed]
 * Flag of Democratic Arabia Arabia: Understood. Thanks for the warning, our Indian friends.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: (Before I’ll start narrating on my nation’s turn. I have apologized for my actions in the last turn of this map game as a result of being rushed (and my pragmatic play-style of every map game I joined) as well as increasingly colluding interests between this map game that I currently play and my planned map game (The Remnant Wars) in this wiki. As a result, I declare some parts of my last turn to be retconned and non-existant itself. Sorry for the inconvience reading this part - Burgundy). We have finally recieved the Final Agreement of Partition and Occupation of North Africa, and we decided to pull out half of our Afrika Korps back home in a grandoise heroes celebration in Berlin. Although some of the Afrika Korps members will be stay behind in occupation zones - under administration of United States itself - to fully secure some areas that contained bandits or warlords itself. Economic aid as well as economic migrants were given to these nations. Meanwhile, the modernization of our Bundeswehr has begun as we began to convert every light arms and tank guns that our army currently use into an low-power railgun weapon system itself, in which increases power, accuracy as well as reliability of every shots fired. Research on ‘Shockwave’ rounds has also begun and expected to be finished it by three to four years. Interested by the United State’s Battlestar program, we asked them to join their Battlestar program - with one condition - that their Battlestar Program will conjucted with our own (small-scale) programs this nation currently used[PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Plans on cutting old Autobahns and replace it with an construction project known as ‘Unified Autobahn’ system that connects three major cities (Hamburg, Munich and Berlin) perfectly has been laid out and we expected to start it by next three years. We also invests the ‘Green Sahara’ project with $15 Billion dollars in exchange of an grant that will establish our factories (both civilian and military) in that country[Mod or Player response needed]. Nat-Pop music genre continues to be popular in our country as our citizens re-discover two songs - Rasputin and Moskau - thanks to the covers released by our own idol group Der Flowahlazer. [SECRET]Development on Erika A.I project is still in progress, and we fired an rogue programmer who attempted to use our A.I to shut down the power grid systems in Los Angeles city in the United States. Development on T-Dolls is also still in progress, but we managed to manufacture one of the T-Dolls that will be completed by next year. If Tunisia was able to grant our requests to build German factories in their territory, an company that produces important T-Dolls components (Sangvis Ferri) will be built in Burkina Faso and using its local citizens as an job maker for their nation[END OF SECRET].
 * Tunisian Diplomacy: Permission to establish German factories in both Tunisia proper and Reformed Burkina Faso is granted.


 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The long-overdue Tunisian presidential and parliamentary elections occur, with a contentious and tight presidential race which saw Said Rafiz Tariq of the Federal Party of Tunisia, part of the Center Choice coalition, win by a small margin of 72,000 votes over Lieutenant Farid Zinadine, the only man to survive the nuclear attack at Dodi, who also happens to be a charismatic populist appealing to the Conservatives. In the parliamentary elections, the Conservative coalition gain 7 seats, the Center Choice coalition loses 3 seats, and the Social Democrats lose 4 seats. This brings the three main coalitions in Tunisian politics ever closer together in political power. Extensive medical searches are conducted on anyone returning to Tunisia from the nations of Japan, Korea, China, and the Eastern Russian Republic in order to prevent spread of the zombie plague to Tunisia. A customs union, and a free trade agreement (removing all tarriffs) is requested between ourselves (and in extension Reformed Burkina Faso), Northwest Africa, Libya, Chad, and Nigeria [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Northwest African and Nigerian permission is requested for an extension of the Tunisian A2 highway through their territory, with the eventual goal of connecting Tunis with Lagos via Niamey [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Expansion of the Tunis Metro to cover the entire Tunis Metropolitan Area begins (before it only covered downtown, the inner suburbs, and the area near the ”tourist trap” of Carthage). Expansion of the Tunisian highway system to comprjehensiveky cover the entire country is also finished, facilitating movement between cities. The bullet train line is also being extended further south, towards Gabes, and a new bullet train line traversing the northern coast is also in construction. On the Green Sahara project, most coastal areas of Tunisia have been fully irrigated and can now fully support farms; attention shifts to the Chott el Djerid, a seasonal lake located in the interior of the country. We aim to use pipelines to make it a year-round lake, and use that water to create arable land around the lake. Projects in Libya, Chad, and Nigeria are also going smoothly, with a full 250 square kilometers of arable land added in total in these countries. The Green Sahara project is also extended into Reformed Burkina Faso, with the first pipelines being laid in the far north of the country. We also welcome foreign investment into the Green Sahara project, namely Germany and Australia.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Republic of Burkina Faso: The first presidential election of the newly-established Reformed Republic of Burkina Faso is held in January of 2067, with Pierre Kebi, publisher of an anti-ISAWA newspaper, internet site, and radio station which quickly became the main form of ”underground news” in the Lower Islamic Union, being elected by an overwhelming majority of 82.3% of the vote. Tunisian investment money is being poured into the country, to rebuild major cities, re-service people with basic amenities, and revitalize the local economy. Destroyed districts of major cities such as Ouagadougou, Koudougou, Kaya, and Tougouri are completely replanned to make these areas more pleasant to live in. The Restructuring Plan is developed, with goals to transform the nation from a third world country to a first world country by 2090 at the latest. The plan calls for an end to hunger and extreme poverty, having renewable power and clean running water supplied to every residence, having at least a primary and secondary school, medical facility and police station in every town with a population of over 400, all roads to be paved, and the unemployment rate low and the average income at least $15,000 (2018 USD). Construction of these amenities is already proceeding. We welcome foreign investment, and lower the corporate tax rate to 5% to entice companies to set up business here. A minimum wage of $200 per month is also set in place.
 * Libya and Chad: We agree to the Tunisian proposal. Thank you.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We agree to the proposals stated, including the permission for a Tunisian highway through Nigerian borders.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We agree to the Tunisian proposal.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: Together with Western Russia, the Eastern Russia Armed Forces (except for the East Russia National Guard) move in to the State of Siberia coming in from the east, and begins to combat the 13th Parallel as well as bring order to the areas. The special forces are deployed to go after the nuclear facilities within the State of Siberia in order to take control and secure them before something happens. The government denies entrance to all immigrants from Hokkaido and kindly sends them back; and also deeply apologizes at the same time; and mentions that extreme precautions and actions must be taken to make sure the outbreak does not spread further, and also travel to and from Hokkaido (along with Sakhalin and the Japanese Kurils) was prohibited in the first place. The coastal areas in the Sea of Japan and the Strait of Tartary begin to be guarded by the East Russian National Guard to prevent further illegal immigration, though are ordered to not shoot/injure the incoming refugees. The three bands under Artyom Inc. release their first covers that are not from an anime/Japanese idol group; with Shattered Crystal releasing King Ring (Seryoga); Iris Ruthenica - Zelenoglazoe Taksi (Oleg Kvasha); and Winterland - Svoboda ili sladkiy plen (Свобода или сладкий плен) (Valery Meladze). The covers get good reception within the nation. The government begins plans to develop stronger ties with the ATO and specifically the United States as well. The policy of pacifism is fully abandoned due to greater threats having emerged, with the recent march into the State of Siberia against the 13th parallel; and the military is officially renamed from the "East Russian Self-Defence Forces" to the "East Russian Armed Forces"; no longer solely being used for self-defence.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Why would you send them back to a infected zone? You want them to get infected by zombies or no? The diplomacy wants answers from this.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Islamic Republic of Maghreb: Our state has officially transitioned into an Islamic Republic, having been renamed Maghreb to reflect the unification of most of al-Maghrib with the annexation of Sarahwi and Morocco. A slow transition towards less hostile relations with the West is pursued, as well as the loosening of trade restrictions, mainly within a roster of select Islamic nations. We cordially invite Libya, Chad and Sudan to the Alliance of Islamic Dominions and States, or AIDS, to join us and Tunisia for regional security. [Mod Response Needed] 120 square kilometres of land are made arable from the Green Sahara Project, and another 210 kilometres of pipeline built. The pipe network now extends roughly 300 kilometres inland from the Mediterranean, with 3 desalination plants under construction in Nouakchott and another 4 planned in Agadir.
 * Libya, Chad and South Sudan: We accept the Maghrebi proposal. Thank you.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The immigrants from Hokkaido were travelling to Eastern Russia to avoid the zombie outbreak, and were deported straight back to Hokkaido, while the government of Eastern Russia apologizes. The government condemns that, because of 2 things. 1. Hokkaido is about to be overrun by nanobots or zombies, and 2. it's a war zone in Sapporo between the zombies and the JSDF, who would sabotage the zombies, but would later be outran by hoards of zombies, no matter how many forces the government stations in Sapporo. The government contacts Eastern Russia to discuss these actions of sending the immigrants back to a infected zone, and the diplomacy wants answers to this [Eastern Russian Response]. Meanwhile, the government orders 4000 troops to be stationed in Sapporo to protect the city, with 65 of the troops sent are equipped with Colt / AAI M203 automatic guns, 1655 are the rocket projectors, firing rockets at the zombies to weaken them, and the soldiers are equipped with Nissan/IHI Aerospace 110mm LAM rocket launchers, and the rest are reserved in case the battle takes a nasty turn. [Secret] The Japanese are working on a new type of weapon, namely called the Colt 56 Gustav T65, which will be modernized with a 300 round belt, and will be a stand up weapon, so soldiers can fire while under cover, and is also great at sieges in trenches. The bullets will also pierce through armored tanks, and give out a EMP that can destroy any armored vehicles or human beings. The project is expected to be done by 2075. [End Secret].
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: Valentin Byakov, head of the Eastern Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, announces that they were not deported back to Hokkaido, but to other parts of Japan instead, specifically Honshu and Kyushu. He also mentions that the East Russian government is not a durák (idiot) and would not send them back directly to a war zone in the first place. Furthermore, travel to and from Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Japanese Kurils were shut down for a reason, and the government will not take the risks of investigating each individual to see if they are infected, as by that point it would have already been too late; and also that the influx of immigrants would have taken forever to be allowed if checks were made to see if they were infected. He apologizes on behalf of the government, however, says that the disease must not spread further at all costs.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: 1. They did not call you a idiot. 2. Only Hokkaido is infected, and the JSDF is holding siege to stop the spreading, so shutting down Sakhalin and the Japanese Kurils isn't a good decision. 3. Even if you shut the borders down with Japan, the zombies still can go through China and reach to your nation. And 4. the part says you travel in and from Hokkaido, so that's nonsense. If you want to discuss ideas, Akane is willing to do so.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: Valentin Byakov mentions that borders with China have been closed for a long time now, and is also being heavily watched in light of the recent outbreak there, and the government is taking precautions at all costs to make sure the disease does not spread further. Second of all, he points out that there seems to be a misunderstanding, and the East Russian government should've been a more clear but nevertheless, the point still stands about the shutdown of travel with mentioned areas and that the refugees were not sent back to Hokkaido itself. He also warns that the disease can easily spread northwards and to the Japanese Kurils if left unchecked, hence why they are shut down as well. Finally, the government has no ideas at this time and is currently dealing with the threat from the 13th parallel in the State of Siberia, hence another reason why the government is taking extreme caution and not wanting to deal with another issue in concurrent with the events in Siberia.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The 30th amendment gains traction despite Conservative opposition, as the COTU, NLP, and even the Libertarian Party launches a campaign to rid of first-past-the-post. Arkansas, Alabama, and Utah, Conservative strongholds, all pass the 30th amendment. The DoD abandons work on simulated persons, and terminates "Chad" (effectively killing it), while releasing the simulated person technology to the public. People begin development of simulated persons for commercial purposes. However, this comes under scrutiny for ethical reasons, especially by the ACLU. However, Google and IBM, the two AI giants, begin work on "personalized" simulates, basically a copy of a client's brain, and scan it into a computer, making an effective personal assistant. Brain backups are also being developed, to effectively cheat death. In American occupied West Africa, more aid is sent, as we fund the Tunisian highway project, as well as repair paved roads and restore clean water to some cities. Following the humanitarian crisis in Monrovia, we hand the city over to the United Kingdom, seeing as the nation has more resources to help neutralize the anarchy. The rest of Battle Star Freedom is sent up from an ARC base in St. George, Utah, as we start scientific observations from Battle Star Freedom. A permanent crew is sent to Battle Star Freedom, and military defenses, such as kinetic bombing, is planned for next year. New York reclaims the title of most populated city from burgeoning Los Angeles, as even desalination and pipes from Northern California and Oregon cannot help quench the thirst of the metropolis. The Great Lakes become more and more populated, Michigan and Illinois becoming the 3rd and 5th most populated states, respectively. An "Interlink" is set up in American Occupied West Africa, a censored Internet, to share some information with the people of West Africa. The World is published more and more in West Africa. Electricity is restored to Accra, as we attempt to put the region under a central power grid.


 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Legislation is passed outlawing the production of conscious machines. Machines will always serve man. Machines that simulate consciousness are still perfectly legal. This year, mass production begins of 3 non-humanoid combat robots that will join or replace human troops on the ground. This is in addition to the fact that high usage of unmanned vehicles and craft already have reduced the necessity of ground troops (artificial or not). The first type of combat robot is known as the Battle Drone (or more affectionately called by the troops that currently work with it as the Grunt) and the standard model is a small 2 foot long 1 foot wide drone that is armed and is capable of entering buildings with troops or in entirely robot squadrons. There are a few variations of this standard design for specific tasks and regions. They are cheap and relatively disposable making them a favorite of commanders in dangerous situations. The second model is in fact many types of robots collectively known as The Swarm. A tank-sized 'Swarm Bus' is a tank-esque armored vehicle that carries within it many types of smaller drone bots including the Grunt, but also suicide-bomb drones, tracking drones, field observation drones (that fly high above the battle and constantly track enemies and friendlies) as well as specialized drones such as drones that can transport IEDS to safe areas or sacrifice themselves by detonating the IED before humans arrive. The final type of combat robot is in fact a class of UAVs operated by the Air Force known as Swarm Jets (though most of them are in fact two thirds the size of a manned jet) that include various types and models of UAV fighter craft (I wont go into detail here for sake of space) including Fighter Swarms, Bomber Swarms, and even Sacrifice Swarms that are essentially thousands of toaster sized drones that fly directly into incoming ICBMs and IRBMs thus protecting the UK from surface-to-surface missiles. All of these unmanned weapons mentioned are controlled and/or coordinated by highly complex AI systems that occupy massive underground warehouses and connect to bases across the country. A less complex battle AI system has been developed and is deployed on-location and connects to the main AI systems in the UK via the many small military satellites launched specifically to reduce connection delays across the world. Needless to say, Britain is focusing on the use of unmanned weaponry in place of humans or automatons AND on the development and usage of deep neural networks. Additionally, the role of humans in the Armed Forces is not to be forgotten. Technology such as Augmented Reality contact lenses seen use in Africa and function in tandem with all tech in use including drones, command centre systems, the AI networks, UAVs, etc. Soldiers have instant access to all necessary information and receive constant updates on battlefield conditions in real time. Additionally, AR technology allows things such as simulated holograms and instructions and directions overlaid over reality (among other features you would expect of an AR system) to be common place. Thus, we see that Britain has decided to focus on reducing troop numbers and making the remaining troops highly trained and elite. Essentially, humans are elite troops while must grunt work is done by non-humanoid combat robots. An interesting note: British cultural attitudes seem to have an aversion to humanoid robots with people preferring robots and AI to remain distinctly non-human; and yet, respect and love for their utility is widespread. In a sense, AI is treated as just another tool rather than a competitor to humanity.

2068
''' The Chinese government collapses, with a military junta taking power in Manchuria and multiple state governments in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong taking 'temporary' power, plunging the country into warlord martial law. The nanobot infection spreads out of Beijing without military intervention, parts of the PLA pledging allegiance to the Manchurian-led government, while others come under the control of their local governments. Inner Mongolia, Southern Manchuria, and Tianjin all report cases of infection. '''

''' The Western and Eastern Russian interventions in Siberia amount to nothing as the Thirteenth Parallel is still able to wreak havoc on the country, Zabalyasky Krai and Lower Siberia being pulled into the conflict. Alexi Borodin continues to lead the paramilitary groups of Siberia, now loosely linked together as the 'United Slavic Liberation Front'. MI6 and GCHQ attempts to find nuclear facilities continue to be dismal failures, with few found and many of the over 3,000 remaining still unfound. '''

''' The American Conservative Party begins to take a hard-right turn as several members lament the passage of the 30th Amendment. However, they begin to fall out of favour after a brief stint in power, with other parties, such as the Libertarian, COTU and NLP, taking diverse places in Congress. The Confederate Sympathy movement begins to grow again, with incidents of discriminatory actions beginning to happen in the American South. '''

''' Japanese-Russian tensions flare, with international media condemning Eastern Russia for refusing to accept Hokkaido refugees. In particular, Taichi Kudo refuses to continue cooperation with the United States of America unless they can guarantee that no further information will be shared with Eastern Russia. Protests occur in Tokyo, advocating for taking in refugees, with many questioning why the government has yet to push back through nanobot-infected cities. '''

''' Iraq, a stable producer and exporter of hyrdocarbons, becomes destablized after Kurdish militias demand Iraqi Kurdistan be absorbed into the Republic of Kurdistan. This nearly envelops into an international crisis, as small border skirmishes are reported, and fears of an all out war cause the MDP, ATO, and AEAN to eye the region closely, still shaking after the Arabian Civil War. '''
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the international community condemning the actions, the government reluctantly reconsiders, and decides to take in refugees with heavy screening and several checkpoints; though are not allowed to stay in any major cities for reasons. Valentin Byakov, head of the Eastern Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, tells international media to mind their own damn business, condemns them for being a blyat, and to actually use a effing brain and logic for taking in people from a disease ridden-area and to actually understand the extreme risks it can cause. The government fires Valentin Byakov from his position shortly after the heated comments that were made and Dmitry Shaposhnikov is snap elected in the National Chamber to replace him, who then apologises for the previous minister's comments. The East Russian Armed Forces begin to go all out and are ordered to show no mercy fighting the 13th Parallel and other affiliated paramilitary groups, while also making sure civilians are safe and avoid friendly fire; with several shouting war cries and an array of insults. The special forces also continue to hunt down the nuclear facilities and try to secure them as well as fighting off any enemy group that comes near. The borders with China remain fully closed and under surveillance, and the government refuses to intervene in China due to already focusing on the terrorist groups in Siberia. Worried about further spread of the outbreak, the government requests Zabalyasky Krai to shut down their border with China, and also offers them aid in protecting said border. [Mod Response] Okhotsk Company announces a "second vision" for Hundred Stars Pro, and shortly after, reveals an extension known as Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage and a new planned update for the rhythm game to include a second side that will incorporate the extended universe separately. Memes are made in the East Russian internet to mock the international community for condemning and influencing the government, which become popular in the nation, and several East Russian trolls also leave comments on how the international media did not condemn the European nations from taking in Islamist refugees in the first place that lead to a rise in attacks in Europe during the early 21st century.
 * Flag of Zabaykalsky Krai.png Zabaykalsky Krai: We humbly accept Eastern Russian aid, and close off our border with the collapsing Chinese nation.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Montana's state legislature becomes the 35th to pass the 30th amendment, making it official law, just in time for the 2068 elections. The new system confuses some voters at first, however the 2068 elections go on smoothly. Interestingly, Alphabet's DeepMind3 artificial intelligence network is able to predict the election results with 99.7% accuracy nearly a month before the election, only wrongly predicting Arkansas's 12th State House district for Bradley Ford (C), while Tom Pearson (COTU) is able to snag the unusually close election. In the national elections, the COTU and NLP form the Democratic Coalition (DC), and DC overall snags a majority in the Senate, while the American Freedom Movement (AFM), consisting of the Conservative and New Republican Party, takes a surprising majority in the House of Representatives. The Libertarian Party nearly loses all influence, having three House seats remaining. The last order of the leaving Congress is to forbid artificial intelligence networks from predicting elections at east 12 hours before the actual election. Mykisha Bradley (COTU), a three term House representative from Brooklyn, becomes the first African-American female President, being the DC candidate, and winning against the AFM candidate, Darryl Harris, a moderate Conservative. Several elements of the US Pacific Fleet are sent to the South China Sea and Sea of China to ensure order from the seas. We refuse to recognize the Manchu-government, but instead choose to fund Hong Kong and Macau in their independence movements. With Shenzhen in near chaos as it comes under the fold of the local government, Silicon Valley stays as the tech capital of the world, and to ensure this, tax cuts are instituted, lowering the tax rate even further, causing a giant deficit, and causing liberal politicians to criticize the move. We offer to send some robotic troops to Hong Kong and Macau to help keep stability in the Guangdong region. [Mod Response] We begin construction of Loop, a civilian space station to start permanent human habitation in space. It will compliment the Battle Star system. We also send more human and CAS troops to Brazil, as we prefect CAS robots. We begin airstrikes of military and government targets in the State of Brazil, as American troops begin to push into Amapá, cutting off the State of Brazil from the seas. We also begin decapitation missions of several State of Brazil leaders, as well as Federation leaders, to destabilize and ultimately destroy the alliance. We would like a report from who we have managed to kill. [Mod Response] In West Africa, the different occupation zones are given more autonomy, as the US streamlines rebuilding efforts. We hope to release the Togo Occupation Zone into a full fledged nation, part of ATO and under the wing of the US, by 2070.
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg Hong Kong: Xie-xie. Thank you, Americans. Your actions, speak louder than any words.
 * Logo of the NSWDG.png Naval Special Warfare Development Group: Sir, we've gotten several leaders, including the former mayor of Brazilia who was on the run, as well as Alejandro Rojas, a Colombian responsible for the mass murder of Americans in late 2042. However, this has led to most Federation leaders going underground, and they're becomin' increasingly harder to track, sir.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: With the international situation has flare-up once more, we decided to become neutral at the time as well as being neutral in constant ATO activities for now. Due to the situation in East Asia, we began placing up screening stations on every airport as well as splitting our newly formed IRUMA special units into two branches, [SECRET]the International Response Unit of Military Affairs[END OF SECRET] and Infection Response Unit of Military Affairs. We’ve ordered the latter branch to station on every major cities to ensure that no one infected will enter the country the country itself. Bundeswehr ‘future’ modernization is still ongoing. The percentage of conversion of every tank cannons and APC cannons into low-power railgun weapon system is now 15% complete and plans for conversion of rail-gun system of an light arms was cancelled after proving to be unreliable and NOT cost-effective, especially that our budget is funneled on our [SECRET]Project Erika[END OF SECRET]. Research on “Shockwave” shells is still ongoing. Plans of upgrading our current tank we are currently using - the Leopard 3A4 - into an similarly tank - the Leopard 4 - is now underway, but no production for that kind of tank before we finished its research and reliability tests. Nat-Pop music genre continues to be more popular as well increased desire by our citizens to loosen the censorship of some of our banned patriotic songs (that were banned due to association of an certain 20th Centure Fascist regime in thic country) that they seem isn’t Fascist well-enough to be enjoyed by ordinary German citizens itself. [SECRET]We managed to produce one of the prototype of our 1st Generation T-Doll straight from Sangvis Ferri factory in Burkina Faso. While no testing will be held because our Erika A.I project is still in development (which was now in 65% completed), an company producing the T-Dolls - the Sangvis Ferri - has recently formed its own Private Military Branch and began its “relocation program” of every villages near the capital city of Burkina Faso itself in order to expand its T-Doll (and other components for the said T-Doll) factories itself. In order to prevent from associating us from Sangvis Ferri, we pretend that they were NOT an offical military arms company of the German state and other things. As well as establishing an (government-funded and supported) arms production company known as Griffon & Kruyger and setting-up an T-Doll company in Tunisia (and our own country itself) in case Sangvis Ferri were exposed to the international media itself. As well as forming an - this time, privately-owned - T-Doll programming and bug-fixing company known as IOP after they presented us an certain theory that improves the connections between ourselves (the Humans) and the T-Dolls itself that we personally named ‘Etching Theory’. IOP began employing its workforce from newly-graduated students of Harvard, Oxford, or any kind of prestigious universities around the world, and some unemployed but talented people living in Silicon Valley to research this kind of promising theory, as well as preventing spreading to major A.I nations (United States, United Kingdom and France) of our prized ‘Etching Theory’ itself[END OF SECRET].
 * Flag of Australia.png Australia: Australia, following the lead of the USA offers military aid to Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Japan (Mod/Player Response). However, unlike the USA, Australia recognises all new Chinese separatist groups including Manchuria. All people entering Australia from Japan, Korea, China and Eastern Russia are being carefully checked for symptoms of the bot plague, however construction begins on South Wellesley Islands, to create a quarantine that all passengers from infected nations must go through before entering the country. This is scheduled to begin operation on the 4th of April 2069. In other construction projects the power plant is running on schedule while the Agricultural Outback Initiative has encountered a few problems, with examination of the Green Sahara Project these are fixed. Finally Australia begins to research possible cures to the bot plague and encourages other nations around the world to unite and help research cures. Currently Australia is looking at using magnets to disable the bots as well as other EMP like techniques (Mod/Player Response).
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg Hong Kong: Ai ya ya. Thank you, Australia, for your assistance.
 * Australian Department of Science and Technology: Well mate, we're happy to say that we can use electromagnetic pulses to disable the bots. The problem is that if we did it in any bot infested areas we'd end up taking half the electric grid of Northeast Asia with it, so yeah, we might need to develop another method of EMP. One that can actually be targeted. We're starting work on that now, and we'll probably be done in another few years or so. Y'all gonna be shocked at how it effective it is.
 * Flag of Taiwan.png Taiwan: The Republic elects to assist Chinese states which pledge to become Democratic in the near future. For now, we will assist our American allies in stabilising Hong Kong. Do not be mistaken; we have yet to forget the multiple offenses of sovereignty that China has committed against us, but we will not repeat China's mistakes. The Taiwanese Army is sent to Guangdong to stabilise the situation there, whereas our Navy is sent to begin shelling of Beijing and other infected areas. We strongly suggest that Chinese states begin repealing their selective port practices if they are to receive aid from Taiwan in the future.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: With our ally, Iraq, in disarray per se (hey that rhymed). We offer to send in troops, to help maintain stability. [Mod Response Needed, plox, ty] To closen ties with Tunisian, we offer a starting $40 billion in funding for the Green Sahara project [Tunisian Response Needed (plz Derp)] With our proposal to the US gone unanswered, we once again propose to work together on a "cure" for the nanobot epidemic. [American Response Needed, k thx (plz Eledec)] CLASSIFIED INTEL: Amidst rumors of other nations working on the establishment of their own Artificial Intelligence. We begin working on our own, naming it Moksha. We hope to have it finished within a decade. CLASSIFIED INTEL ADJOURNED We begin preparations for 2071 census, with increased funding to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Long known for being a center of the Indian film industry, a Bollywood district/neighborhood is established in Mumbai. Many Indian film companies from other cities have started to move to Mumbai, making the city one of the richest in the country. From China's collapse, we've seen a new ally possibly be established. With calls for help, we hear. We send troops to West China to help in anyway possible. [Mod Response Needed]
 * Tunisian Dip: Accepted.
 * CCP Flag.png Western China: Thank you, very much. We will try to repay you when all this strife is over.
 * Flag of Iraq.png Iraq: Don't worry, Indians. We have this mostly under control. Thank you for the offer regardless.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Sure.


 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The Verkhovna Rada votes in favor of withdrawing Ukraine from the ATO after a debate and vote in parliament. The majority of deputies believe it could potentially drag Ukraine into unnecessary wars, and with the peace being made with Western Russia, the membership is no longer seen as necessary. Prime Minister Krylenko presents this information to President Gontyuk, who agrees and orders Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vitaliy Raevsky to formally begin the process of withdrawing from the ATO. Deputy Foreign Minister for International Organizations, Denis Zantaraia, visits Berlin to inform Germany that Ukarine is leaving the ATO. The Ukrainian state will become neutral, like Switzerland or Belgium. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian National Guard has been organized fully and conscripts are drafted annually to fulfill their national service obligation in the Guard. The regular armed forces are maintained around 177,000 personnel, majority of them in the Ground Forces. Construction is finished on 8 new artillery patrol boats, which join the Ukrainian Navy. Meanwhile, Kiev is one of the five venues on the Taekwondo Grand Prix this year, while also being host to the Kiev Grand Slam 2068 in judo. Ukrainian athletes do well in these competitions. Projects continue throughout Kiev to make it into a "city of the future," along the lines of Tokyo.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Islamic Republic of Maghreb: We begin subsidizing manufacturing and agricultural industries, and designate large portions of the Sahara Desert as government land to be converted into a more arable state and sold afterwards at an acceptable price. A high speed railway to connect the various cities within the nation is considered, but will not begin construction until sufficient resources are obtained. The Green Sahara Project begins to have visible effects on a national level, as more people are interested in buying land to start their own farms or property. A sister project is proposed, wherein trees will be planted in designated areas of de-desertified land. The project, known as the Lungs of the Saharan Desert, or LSD, is expected to be approved by the government.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Internal protests occur in Tokyo, advocating the request of Eastern Russia accepting refugees. The demand is simple, because the nation will ought to be overrun by zombies by some time. The questioning of civilians lead to a answer. The nation is busy creating a new weapon (see last turn in 2067), and is holding the line on Sapporo to deny any entrance to the nanobots that will infect the city with the plague. Akane also orders 5000 troops to settle near the eastern coastline of Hokkaido, equipped with modern arsenal the Japanese wielded. The siege starts with a local stronghold for training and living purposes in Kushiro, a place where the siege will start on the nanobots. The first problem is that Kushiro is very modest, so a stronghold won't be in place in the main city, and instead will be built on the coastline. The second and last problem the Japanese counter is that the main forces wielded with modern guns are fighting the ever growing hoards of zombies in Sapporo, so the forces located in Kushiro are mostly under defended. [WIP]
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The high-speed railway line is extended to Gabes, and construction begins with the eventual goal of extending the line to the Libyan border. We also begin creating another high speed rail line, connecting Tunis with the planned Maghrebi train system. The extension of the A2 highway begins construction from both ends, with uninterrupted highway access now available as far as Ouargla, Maghreb. From the opposite end of the planned highway, the tail end of the A2 from Lagos to Abeokuta opens, and construction has begun as far as Ibadan. On the Green Sahara project, the filling of the Chott el Djerid is going along well, and a full 500 square kilometers of arable land is added. The Green Sahara project has also begun to reap its fruits, as an economic boom has begun in Southern Tunisia. Projects in Libya, Chad, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso also proceed at a reasonable pace. All Chinese separatist states are recognized. Several nuclear power plants also begin construction. Meanwhile, a bill introduced by the strengthening Conservative coalition, enticing large corporations to build regional and international headquarters in Tunisia, thus establishing a strong presence in the country, passes, although with heavy backlash by the Social Democrats. This will be done with relaxing of building regulations, as well as lowering of the corporate tax and granting special privileges to large corporations.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: The Tunisian government pumps in $40 billion in order to repair and improve infrastructure nationwide. Huge infrastructure improvement schemes are launched, aimed at bringing the infrastructre of Burkina Faso on par to First World nations. Solar power farms are built, roads are paved and repaired, schools and hospitals are constructed, and power and running water are restored to 96,000 customers. The government also releases plans for “Plan 2080”, similar to the Tunisian Infrastructure Overhaul Project and the Green New Deal of 2020s America, aims to focus on improving infrastructure in the nation, and combatting poverty, unemployment, and income disparity. Subsidization of local companies in order to make them be more competitive with foreign companies begins. A rudimentary welfare system is instituted, with those who cannot afford adequate food to be supplied with enough food to confortably live. We also officially apply to join the United Nations [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We accept the Burkina Fasan application and welcome the new country to the United Nations.

2069
''' The nanobotlia infection spreads through Hubei as Tianjin authorities, embroiled in a war between angry protesters, their own police forces and a rampaging virus outbreak, fail to prevent nanobots from reaching Tianjin Harbor. Korea closes off its borders to China as it struggles to keep up with incoming Chinese refugees, increasing worries that this could cause the virus to become waterborne as infected vessels capsize in port. '''

''' The concerted Russian efforts against the 13th Parallel begin to bear fruit as the organisation loses massive amounts of fighters off the Eastern Russian border in what becomes known as the Battle of Fences. However, the organisation is far from done, as revelations by MI6 reveal that the 13th Parallel is being funded by the Federation, and independent Russian shell companies off in the Arctic. '''

''' Global Cooling continues, albeit gradually slowing, as large ice sheets float down off the Eastern Coast of the United States. The Arctic and Antarctic Ice Sheets begin to start growing again, much to the pleasure of climate scientists across the world, who celebrate. '''

''' The Chinese Civil War develops into a tense Cold War as the Independent Chinese Districts, unable to decide their allegiances, stay neutral as of yet. However, Shanghai-led forces begin stacking troops on the Guangzhou border in Fujian, which is met with an equal reaction. The situation continues to become more tense. With Indian assistance, Western China begins to stabilize itself, although relief is far, far away. '''
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: President Bradley is inaugurated smoothly, and her first act is to re-open Glacier National Park in Montana, closed after years of calving and ablation. Congress also passes the first law regulating simulated persons, effectively considering them "commercial and industrial tools", despite the fact that they are human in every way except physically. Much to the dismay of civil rights groups and the ACLU. However, simulated persons begin to be introduced to every faucet of American life, through a slow process. The first sims (as they are called, a possible reference to a video game from the late 20th and early 21st century) are mainly used commercially, by large corporations and the government. The CIA begins implementing them in tests, and are used by recruits to simulate interrogation and torture. Chicago becomes a hotspot for new companies designing better and newer sims. However, due to the immense processing power needed to simulate a sim, sims are extremely expensive, and will not be available to the public for years to come. The news that the Federation is funding the 13th Parallel shocks Americans, as public opinion turns from apathetic to Russian affairs to one more heated. We offer to fund the East Russian Republic in its endeavors against the 13th Parallel, as well as provide logistical support. [East Russian Response] We hope to stabilize the region and especially Siberia. We also begin to provide more robotic troops to South China, as well as more logistical support. We also recognize West China as a legitimate entity due to its support from our Indian acquaintances. HypLoop 2 begins construction from New York to Washington D.C, and hundreds of government bureaucrats are laid off as artificial intelligence takes over their jobs. In July, a government shutdown commences after fighting in the Senate about appropriations to cloning research by the DoD. While thousands of government employees are furloughed, robots that have taken over government jobs continue working hard, keeping the government afloat until an agreement was reached by the DC and AFM a week later. Battle Star 2 finishes construction in multiple laboratories across the country, and assembly begins. Henry A. Wallace Park is built in Washington D.C, named after one of FDR's Vice Presidents, but it is also used to honor those that died in the Battle of Lome during the Northwest African War.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: The government accepts American support, and thanks them graciously.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The first Kinetic Bombardment station has been launched into space. Plans are being made for one more in 3 years time. Meanwhile, the British Air Force begins flying missions over China and Japan to observe and experiment with the zombies. Experimental sonic and concentrated energy weapons (glorified lasers) are tested on the zombies with standard sonic weapons able to disorient the creatures while highly concentrated sonic weapons are capable of exploding body parts including the skull. Concentrated energy weapons are a technology newly revivified based off technology from the early 21st century. The heavy energy weapons mounted on stationery turrets are able to vaporise zombies with sufficient exposure (about 3 to 5 seconds) but the technology is too expensive to move beyond the experimental phase. Permission is requested of the Tibetan government for the RAF to set up a small base in the Tibetan plateau to facilitate these experimentation on zombies. In exchange, Britain promises to protect Tibet from the Chinese civil war if it spills over and from zombies if they attack. [Mod Response] Separately, Britain pledges funding and military assistance to the East Russian Republic in their fight against the 13th Parallel. British intelligence is also provided. Last but not least, a hyper loop is constructed from London to Edinburgh, and has fares that are comparable to that of bullet trains, signifying the dawn of a new age of travel.
 * Tibet: We accept British assistance..., but we do not fear attack from China. We are at peace with Western China, and we daresay, good relations are ahead.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The general elections for the happen this year, with a majority of independents gaining the seats. The Japan Innovation Party (Nippon Ishin no Kai) gains the most seats, totaled with 255 seats in the House of Representatives. The runner for the Japan Innovation Party is Koka Shimau, who promises that he will increase the life qualities in mainland Japan, while fighting off more nanobot zombies in Hokkaido. The diplomacy contacts Hong Kong and Western China for a protection pact [Mod Response]. The Japanese Constitution is rewritten to include independent parties inauguration into the prime minister spot, or leader of the House of Representatives. The government is also limited and county governments have control over the exact region. [Secret] The nation is beginning to withdraw troops from Hokkaido and Sakhalin, seeing that all hope is lost for the islands. The nation also plans to cut off trade and militaristic dependencies with East Russia, seeing the aggressive side of their actions, and getting criticized over the international news [End Secret]. For now, the nation contacts America for minor military support up in Hokkaido, and for minor personnel to deal with the siege with the JSDF to maintain a line against the nanobots [American Response]. The dawn of June happens, with a ordered training area near the east coast, in case the militaristic situation in Hokkaido comes to a halt, and gets sabotaged by nanobots. Around 76,000 military personnel applied for the training session, that lasts from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Meanwhile, the nation contacts Siberia if they need support against the 13th Parallel, and a arsenal of 3,000 trained troops from 2062 to be sent to put down the 13th Parallel [Mod Response] Finally, the nation contacts Shanghai to focus on more important matters, and not adding troops to the frontline in Fujian [Mod Response].

 * bbc-logo-black-and-white.png BBC: It appears that Eastern Russian trolls have become points of litigation for several East Asian nations, with trolls engaging in highly nationalistic and racist rhetoric similar to that of the late American Alt-Right movement during the early 2020s. The trolls, although not affiliated with the Eastern Russian government, become a point of contention for countries such as Taiwan and Korea, who criticise the rhetoric of trolls, claiming that Taiwan remains 'part of China' and that Korea is a 'whore nation'.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: A part of the East Russian Armed Forces as well as the special forces begin to concentrate their efforts in blocking off the Siberian coast to shut off 13th Parallel's access to the Arctic Ocean. Meanwhile focus continues in advancing through, continuing to fight the 13th Parallel elsewhere with full force. 13th Parallel elsewhere with full force and continuing to secure more areas. In the upcoming elections, the political scene is intense with issues such as the current government's aggressiveness actions in regards to the refugee crisis and controversy in the world stage. Minako Ignatyev, current leader of the United Far East Party and frustrated with the current government's actions, runs as a candidate in the elections, promising to address the issues at hand; while still keeping the fight against the 13th Parallel and affiliated paramilitary groups; and also for closer relations with the ATO as well as further aims to improve relations with West Russia. Elections are held in August, and proves to be a close and challenging race between the two main candidates. Following a close race in the elections, Minako Ignatyev wins against incumbent Ratimir Borovsky from the Yabloko Party, and she becomes President of the nation. She begins tackling the issues at hand, though the National Chamber and the House of Representatives becomes a nightmare due to the division. However, they end up working together in tackling the troll issue, which President Minako Ignatyev condems the trolls for "causing damage and giving the nation even further bad rep than it has already, and will not stand for the nation to be alienated further." Okhotsk Company announces an animation show in development, and a part of the mecha/super robot genre. Shattered Crystal 's cover of the Brave Express Might Gaine opening theme becomes a hit for this year as interest in the mecha and super robot genres rises between the two companies. Three new highways are approved for construction in the meantime; and more railways begin to see high speed trains take off; all as part of the transportation plans by the government.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Say what you want about the trolls, they confirmed their national identity is Eastern Russian, and will not tolerate your actions towards them and other nations. You aggressively called someone a blyat for taking in refugees in Hokkaido. One more disruptive thing and its a embargo for trades.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We begin selling arms to the many factions fighting in the Chinese Civil War without leaning towards any sides. After all, war is a profitable business. The first few trees are planted on former desert as the first phase of Project LSD. The felling of trees in government property is prohibited. Another 230 square kilometres of arable land is raised from the Sahara Desert via the Green Sahara Project. The Project also begins in Mauritania and Morocco, with pipelines being constructed through soil, sand and rock. Local entrepreneurs have proposed a settlement in the middle of the Sahara Desert, which will host a railway to link all major cities in the country and have the opportunity of near-unlimited expansion into the surrounding desert. The project, known as the Adminstration-Collaborative Desert City, or ACDC, will potentially be 50% funded by said entrepreneurs using materials resourced overseas. The government has considered the project seriously and has decided it will be carried out sometime within the decade. Farms have begun to spring up all over the northern Sahara Desert as prospecting farmers begin production. The agricultural sector is expected to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming years. Manufacturing processes have become more advanced recently, as a result of continued subsidisation.

Back home things are running fairly smoothly, though a very small number of people protest the killing of zombies, claiming that they should be treated no differently to any other ill people. Despite so many other nations creating AI Australia decides to not pursue sentient machines, instead experimenting with super-intelligent programs that mimic awareness.

We also begin experimenting with creating AI with rudimentary intelligence, perfect for working menial, dirty and dangerous jobs that no one wants to work at. New high-speed railway lines begin construction, and we ask Maghreb to link up their proposed high-speed rail lines with our rail network [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. The A2 highway extension is rerouted to pass through the planned ACDC in Maghreb, and construction on the tail end of the A2 in Nigeria continues, with completed sections now reaching as far as Ilorin. The government has also taken inspiration from the ACDC project, with Mtorrech, a suburb south of Gabes, being chosen to become the main transport hub of the nation, due to its relatively undeveloped landscape, and its relative proximity to the rest of the country, located roughly in the center of the nation. Construction begins on Mtorrech Central Station, designed to be the main station for the majority of Tunisian rail lines, as well as lines connecting much of North and West Africa. We ask Libya, Chad, Nigeria, Maghreb, and the American and British occupation zones for permission to build transport infrastructure through their territory [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED].The Green Sahara project continues in all member nations, with 300 square kilometers of arable land added in Tunisia, 170 in Libya, and 130 in Chad. Lake Chad has also been returned to mid-20th century sizes, resupplying easy access to wayer to huge portions of Chad, Nigeria, and the Niger wilayat of Maghreb. Some of the newly-fertile area is now being turned into forest, with the end goal of establishing large forests in the Sahara, creating more hospitable microclimates in these areas. Hospitals and schools nationwide also begin to have depression counseling classes, available to those that are depressed, and talks about how they can cope with depression.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: Local entrepreneurs and urban planners have decided to take inspiration from the ACDC project in Maghreb, as well as other cities such as Amsterdam, and rebuild Ouagadougou as a high-tech city accomodating all forms of transportation, that feels safe and is pleasant, and will aim to be the financial and transport center of not only Burkina Faso, but the entirety of West Africa. This is an ambitious plan, and will not be realized quickly, but the city and the country has adopted this motive for Ouagadougou. Already large sums of money are being poured into this project from Tunisia, and we hope to get more investments from foreign companies in the future. In other rebuilding efforts, most sizeable towns have now been reconnected with electricity in some form, although electricity is not restored for each and every citizen yet. Most major roads have also been paved, with minor roads undergoing the paving process. Schools and hospitals are being constructed in rural areas, attending school has been made free and compulsory, and we are working on a new and improved curriculum getting rid of religious influences left over from Lower Islamic Union times and incorporating new technology.
 * Libyan-Chad-Nigerian Conference: We accept the Tunisian offer. Thank you. We will begin setting up the prerequisites at once.
 * Flag of the United States.svg USAID & Department of State: We provide permission for Tunisian construction crews to begin construction of the highway system in the American occupation zone, as long as 1). Tunisia promises to connect major cities such as Accra, Lome, Abidjan, and Kumasi, 2) American supervisors are allowed to supervise some construction, and 3) the roads will be up to American regulations. [Tunisian Response]
 * Tunisian Response: Accepted. The roads constructed in the American occupation zone will become part of the American Interstate System.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We accept the offer, and welcome Tunisia to integrate their rail lines into our network.
 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The country offers to host next year's European Games. [Mod Response] Ukraine remains neutral in the ongoing conflicts around the world and formally leaves the ATO this year. The Verkhovna Rada passes a law on support for families, now paying money and giving free apartments to those Ukrainian families that have at least three children. Construction projects in Kiev and elsewhere are continuing.
 * European Games Council: We accept the Ukranian offer, and begin preparations for the 2070 European Games.

2070
''' Occupied Sudan sparks into open rebellion against South Sudan, attempting to take the reins of the Christian-majority nation for themselves after humiliation by the country decades earlier. Bloodshed occurs across the country as it makes a rallying cry to take back its nation from South Sudanese forces, overwhelmed by the sudden rebellion. At the same time, the International Association of Christian groups denounces South Sudan and declares them the antithesis of God's will, cutting support to South Sudan from international charities. '''

''' A coalition of independent Chinese states sign the Confederative Declaration of Shanghai, leading to tensions between the Shanghai Coalition and Democratic South China. Several small border conflicts between the two lead to an all out war, prompting other Chinese states to join opposing sides, and most states (excluding West China and Inner Mongolia) get into a conflict, aptly named the Second Chinese Civil War. '''

''' The 13th Parallel threatens nuclear destruction of the various Russian states, firing an ICBM above the Arctic Ocean to prove their point. No damage happens, with the ICBM simply disintegrating over the Arctic Ice Sheet, but the international community is shocked. '''

''' The Central African Republic, without support from ISAWA, collapses, as Logone and other various militias and groups clamor for independence and power. The East African Economic Pact sends in forces to back the militias, while the United Nations sends peacekeepers to attempt to maintain peace in the disintegrating nation. '''

''' The virtual reality "bubble" crashes, as dozens of VR startups go bankrupt, and stocks of various tech companies dip, causing some small economic fallout. The DJIA drops to 52,970, a loss of 3.3%. '''
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: In response to the crisis in the Central African Republic and the Sudans, we immediately send troops to occupy the region, in an attempt to "be responsible for the future of a country we left to chaos". President Yusuf Taiyoob has also announced that the state will be working with the UN to minimise casualties, and directly occupy the Central African Republic to maintain order. Troops have been deployed to Birao, Kabo and Paoua to secure a presence in the region. [Mod Response Needed] We also announce support for Occupied Sudan, seeing as our brethren there are suffering. Arms and resources are sent to the peoples there to rise up against South Sudan, and if need be, a military intervention by the Maghreb Armed Forces. 260 square kilometres of arable land has been formed via the Green Sahara Project, and now, there is a slight but noticable change in the satellite view of the Sahara Desert.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We thank Maghreb for its assistance. The aforementioned cities are slowly being secured by joint forces and we will begin using them as humanitarian centres soon.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government is taken back by the 13th Parallel successfully getting a hold of the ICBMs. The divided government puts asides their differences and work together as the threat from the terrorists rises to a new level. [Secret] The main cabinet, including President and Vice President begins to relocate to in case the ICBMs are launched towards the new capital. [End Secret] The government offers the United States an alliance and also to purchase anti-ICBM technology to defend against the threat from the 13th Parallel's recent ICBM acquisition. [Player Response] Nuclear bunkers begin to be built in several areas in response to the new threat. [Secret] Both the East Russian Intelligence Agency begins to track down on the leader's whereabouts if possible; while several East Russian Spetsnaz Command are sent out to hunt down the major nuclear launch sites. [End Secret] All projects on transportation are put on hold temporarily as the military receives more of a budget. The troll issue continues to be dealt with as well as the new government works to lessen tensions with AEAN, including Japan, with President Minako Ignatyev also apologising for the government's previous actions and controversy and hopes for discussion and solutions to fix soured relations. Both Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc. begin to open a few new stores in the nation to sell official merchandise such as CDs, plushes, and collectable figures. Meanwhile several East Russian companies, including Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc., begin to take precautions and begin to relocate until the threat is over.


 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Flights over China are rediverted around the contentious air space and military activity there is kept to a minimum. Meanwhile, bombing and the use of experimental weaponry continues in Hokkaido alongside Australian efforts. [Secret] Back home, the mission to locate and deactivate Siberian nuclear missiles has its budget doubled and is placed at the top of national security priorities. The number of MI6 agents in Siberia currently hunting down the silos is doubled and we begin sharing intelligence with East Russian security forces on the matter. [Mod/Player Responses] [/Secret] Meanwhile, the old Iron Dome anti-ICBM system built around major British cities during the War are reactivated, though the cost of maintenance has significantly increased the military's budget. As a result, the prudent government has decided to recall 40% of its troops in the African British occupation zones and replace them with local police groups. The new police groups are overseen by British officials, though training of local chiefs is already underway to ensure a smooth transition to home rule in the future. The mistakes of the mass de-colonization of Africa in the previous century will not be repeated. Building on British-Aussie cooperation in Hokkaido, the MoD contacts Australia over the possibility of joint anti-zombie research and military exercises in the Sea of Japan. [Player Response]
 * MI6: We've discovered several hundred silos in the Central Siberian Plateau, many of whom have either inactive warheads or are missing any warheads at all. We suspect that the 13th Parallel is engaging in nuclear proliferation to fund their war effort.
 * Cabinet: This is very alarming. Agents are instructed to permanently disable all missiles still in place. [Mod Response] Simultaneously, we propose a joint task force with America, East Russia, and West Russia, to track down the missing missiles and deactivate them before it is too late. [Player/Mod Responses]
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government accepts, and welcomes all help.
 * MI6: While it is possible to disarm most of the missiles, we've discovered an aging failsafe in the system that instantly fires the ICBM before any form of disarmament is possible. Among the 674 silos we found, and of the 632 missiles we discovered, we were able to largely disarm 432 of them and will finish the rest by January, but 21 seem to have this failsafe, making any form of disarmament impossible. We believe the only way to deactivate these failsafes are to find Soviet or Russian Federal codes which were lost in the 30s. The time is dire, sir.
 * Flag of Australia.png Australian Response: we gladly accept the offer of a joint anti-zombie campaign.


 * Philippines_flag.jpg Philippines: Most flights to East Asia are diverted or grounded due to events ongoing there. Meanwhile, we impose black travel warnings to China, North and West Africa, and several other parts of the world. We put fences encircling around the city limits of Tagaytay to protect agriculture and infrastructure from animals roaming around the rural foresty areas. Tagaytay has become an underrated tourist destination but popping with comfortable residential areas, low crime rates and new 24/7 businesses. Meanwhile, the highway systems have been improved, connecting islands. Public transportation had also since improved. Manila, Cebu, Davao and Ilo-Ilo already have subway systems, while Tagaytay has the country's first tram system.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil: This Civil war with the Fascists is taking a toll on our Country. Funds are being Poured into Defense and Shortage of Food and Shelter will be imminent if this doesn't end soon. We ask the Help of our ATO allies to Send supplies to aid us in this war.:[Players response needed] A referendum will be conducted on whether a draft is required for the war.[Mod response needed].
 * Brazilian Commission on Draft Requirements: We find that a draft is unnecessary and will expend too many resources. We suggest a limited draft with benefits to avoid the disadvantages of a simple mass draft.
 * Flag of Australia.png Australia: Australian aircraft continue to bomb the island of Hokkaido, several types of gas are tested on the zombies none of which seem to work very well. Australia offers to buy the sonic pulse technology from Britain (Player Response) we also ask Britain if alongside the current experiments by both nations, that we attempt to hack into the nanobots and shut them down (Player Response). Australia offers to sell weapons and supplies to Brazil (Player Response) and begins to design a new model of tank, the “Norman Tank.” A further 5000 troops are sent to Hong Kong as the situation in China takes a turn for the worst. Australia applies to rejoin the UN (Mod Response). (Secret)Seeing so many nuclear capable nations at high tensions Australia begins to develop an anti-missile system that will protect major cities, because you just never know.(End Secret) Meanwhile, protests for equal zombie rights turn violent, not because of the protesters but because of other members of the public who disagree with their point of view and attack them. Fortunately police were able to break up the fight before any serious injury occurred but many are shocked at what has happened. With the Perth nuclear power plant construction running smoothly plans are drawn up for a plant in both NSW and Victoria. Australian coders manage to develop an AI that is at human level intelligence but is not self aware. It can do anything that a human can do except think for itself.


 * Flag of Brazil.svg.png Democratic Republic of Brazil: We accept and are Grateful for your support. The People of Brazil will never forget your timely help.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: We are glad to sell Australia sonic weapons. We also agree to work with Australia on attempting to hack the nanobots.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Japanese ground troops advance out of Kushiro, where zombie hoards aren't very usually seen. Hokkaido is still on the siege, as the weapon project is nearly done, and still is expected to finish around 2073-2075. Meanwhile, 2,300 troops are also sent to Sapporo, with modern arsenal, and the Japanese also sent 23 tanks to Sapporo to at least pierce them or weaken the zombies. Meanwhile, British and Australian aerial bombers and experimental weaponry are also massacring key zombie hoards. The Japanese also send aid to Hong Kong and East China for the 2nd Chinese Civil War, due to Western China being neutral in this conflict [Mod Response]. The Japanese military stationed in Kushiro is planning for a liberation of the second port area of Shiranuka, which a full scale liberation plan is enacted. The troops started to march down to Shiranuka, and enact what the Japanese call Operation Apocalypse. The plan was enacted on June 17th, 2070, and the Japanese started to march straight towards the city of Shiranuka. One problem is that the Japanese forces are pretty under prepared because Kushiro wasn't very nanobot infected. So the operation was called off until further notice, and Kushiro became a training area for the Japanese troops stationed there. [Secret] Withdrawal of troops in Hokkaido are in effect until the weaponry is finished. This means until the gun is finished, the troops are ordered to withdraw the area. The Japanese also secretly start to create EMP lazers, which are lazer guns that shoot miniature EMP's, which could pierce through zombies and disable them (can't kill zombies). This EMP project is expected to finished pretty early, around 2076. [End Secret]. The 13th Parallel is posing a threat to the nations of East Russia and Siberia, and the Japanese enact a plan to destabilize the nuclear stash, and aid Siberia and East Russia (yes the Japanese did hate them, but they seem to enact control over the trolls). [Secret] Another new weapon is planned to be made by the best technological engineers, and will include a pulse that deactivates the zombies, and a virus only for the nanobots to kill them. This other project will take some time, and will take to be around 2083-2085 before the project is finished. [End Secret]. The Japanese also offer to send aid to Brazil to help with the civil war in Brazil, and as well as send special operations units from 2062 to help out [Brazil Response].
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg Democratic South China: We thank Japan for their support in our struggle.
 * Mod Response: East China could refer to eight different countries in China. Which one?
 * Democratic Republic of Brazil:We accept your Offer and are grateful.
 * Flag of Indonesia.png Indonesia: Indonesia joins other nations in the region and creates a "no-fly zone" over much of East Asia due to the turmoil that is unfolding. We offer to send drones to begin airstrikes on known areas of nanobot infection in Hokkaido[Japanese Response Needed]. We also offer to accept 10,000 refugees from Hokkaido on the condition of extensive screening. Indonesia bans all travel to and from China citing the nanobotalia outbreak as well as the significant political instability present in the region. We heavily restrict travel to much of Central, Northern, and Western Africa. [Secret] Indonesia begins a project to create artificial islands throughout much of its surrounding as well as further into the Indian ocean. Indonesia hopes these islands will provide a strategic advantage in the event of conflict with China or any other power [Secret]. Indonesia begins to pass religious reform in order to begin secularizing the nation. We begin to ban the promotion of any specific religion within all public classrooms and begin to offer greater protection to religious minorities such as Buddhists, Hindus, and Christians. Religious discrimination is completely banned in all publicly funded organizations. In order to appease more radical muslims, we begin funding charter "muslim" schools. However, attendance to these schools requires a tuition cost. Indonesia begins sending arms and other supplies to Democratic South China. We also will provide $6,000,000,000 of financial support for the cause of Democratic South China(Mod Response Needed) We also begin investigating the use of EMPs on nanobots and hope to work with other nations and eliminate the spread of the nanobot epidemic.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Offer considered to be accepted.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: We take no stance on the situation in South Sudan, offering aid to the most affected people regardless of race, ideology, and religion. However, securing the Central African Republic has become a major issue, and 7,000 troops are deployed to aid the central government in fighting the secessionist rebels. Legislation legalizing marijuana nationwide is passed by a small margin. Construction of highways and high-speed rail lines begins across West Africa, with the eventual goal of creating a comprehensive infrastructure system rivalling Europe and North America, worthy of a fully developed society. The flagship of this ambitious project, the A2 highway, connecting Tunis with Lagos, is nearing completion, with the majority of it done (the completed northern section now reaches down to Gao, and the completed southern section reaches up to Sokoto), and this specific project to be wrapped up next year. Extensions of the recently-finished Trans-Tunisian High-Speed Rail Line into Tripoli, as well as integration of the Tunisian and Maghrebi rail lines, begin, and plans are formulated on upgrading the bullet train lines around Tunis into hyperloops are being considered. In Green Sahara, the satellite view of much of coastal Tunisia is now almost fully green, with work beginning on inland portions. 340 square kilometers of arable land is added to the nation, as well as another 750 in Libya and Chad combined. An economic boom begins in southern Tunisia, with many migrating south to escape the bustling life in the cities and start a new life in the new fields in the Sahara Desert.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: New regulations on workers begin, with workdays legally shortened to 10 hours, and a minimum wage of 10 Burkinabe Credits per hour (roughly equal to 2018 US$1.27 per hour) has been instated. Reforming the judicial system and distancing it from Lower Islamic Union interpretations of Sharia law has begun, with stoning as a method of capital punishment outlawed, and homosexuality and apostasy officially legalized again (although those stopped beging de facto crimes the day that the LIU fell). Public housing projects similar to the Singaporean HDB housing blocks have been put in place in major cities to eliminate slums, and the first highway in the country, the Ouagadougou Ring Road, is being constructed. Tram and bus lines have also been instituted in Ouagadougou, Koudougou, Kaya, Tougouri and Kantchari, and the first stops of the Ouagadougou Metro are under construction. Minor roads are now 40% paved, and major roads are now 70% paved. Electricity and running water has also been supplied to 82% of residents, and schools and hospitals are being constructed across the nation. The government actuvely encourages Burkinabes outside the country, especially those educated in foreign universities, to come back, promising a better life and future for them and for the nation.


 * Flag of Germany.pngGermany: Due to unnerving situation in East Asia, we grounded all civilian flights going to the affected regions of East Asia itself. Infection screening measures are put in place in major airports as well increased presence of the Inf-RUMA around the country. Infection Survival Program is still enacted around the country for civilians to train against those zombie-like infected people and we decided to lift the ban of selling assault-rifle (in semi-auto, however) to civilians, but they are required to pass the Infection Survival Program as well as assorted psychological tests (to prevent what happened in United States in The 10s) in order to buy that kind of rifle. Neutrality on foreign affairs is still in place, but we recognize West China as legitimate successor country of China itself. Afrika Korps is still active within the US-occupied zones, in former LIU territories but we are planning to pull-them out by next year in order to save budget on our logistics itself. Bundeswehr is still under ‘futurization’ mode. Railgun conversion on every tank and APC guns is still continued. After years of dedicated research, we finally put the “Shockwave” rounds into production (for those whose wonderin’ what “Shockwave” rounds is. It is an simple artillery shell, but it has an power comparable to an single MOAB or any high-powered artillery shells used in World War 1 itself). The German Chancellor Viktor Hoffman’s health have begun to deteriorated as his personal doctor states he will never gonna live long enough to run again as an Chancellor candidate in 2074 Chancellor election itself. He decided to train the current CDP chairman, Juncker “Junko” Lutjens, to becoming an Chancellor candidate while he still have his energy at his back. [SECRET]The development on Project Erika is still ongoing. Although the development of our A.I infrastructure is completely finished; the clinical tests as well as adding some of the important infrastructures to our A.I program itself in order to be working normally by the year of either 2075 or 2076. The prototype of our 1st Generation T-Doll is still in ‘reliability test’, although while ‘interaction test’ (i.e: basic motor skills, language apprehension and etc) is completely fine, the combat test of our T-Doll is mediocre at best. Meanwhile, Sangvis Ferri decided to stopped its “relocation program” in Burkina Faso as they deemed complete. More factories are being built in Burkina Faso as well as the occupation zones controlled by United Kingdom, United States and France itself. After the SF executives requesting us for expansion of their company (and T-Doll factories) outside of African sphere, we asks permission to India, Indonesia, and Austrailia to built an German-owned companies and factories (especially Sangvis Ferri) in their premises itself[Indonesia, India and Austrailia Player Response Needed]. Meanwhile, IOP is still continuing its research of “Etching Theory” itself, but - at-least - they managed to built its foundation of that theory itself. After hearing India has its own A.I project as well as fears of agents coming from A.I nations to steal our cherished “Etching Theory” from our hands, German Foreign Ministry have announced in an publi interview - streamed in the Internet itself - that the requirements for Work Visa in nations of United States, United Kingdom, France and India, are toughened immediately in order to prevent “illegal workers” in these countries from entering Germany itself[END OF SECRET].
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia Response: we accept the placement of German industry in our territory.


 * Flag of Ukraine.svg Ukraine: The 2070 European Games are held in Kiev. Ukraine came in 5th place on the medal table, with Ukrainian athletes performing well. Due to the surplus of old weaponry from the military reforms, the Ukrainian government offers to sell weapons to different warring factions in Africa. [Mod Response]
 * East African Defence Pact: We agree to begin purchase of Ukrainian firearms.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Following support for West China, we begin supporting South China within their efforts against those under Shanghai. We offer around 15,000 men, in support for the democratic cause. We also offer around $10 billion dollars in funding for both West and South China. [Mod Response Needed] The Indian Parliament slimly votes to approve a bill that implements Universal Basic Income. We call on Indonesia to join along on our fight against the nanobots, and work for a cure, that we've instigated with America. Also, calling for all unaffected AEAN members to meet in Jakarta. [Indonesian/Mod Response Needed] SECRETS: We've become wary of our Indonesian allies these days, and will send 5 special ops RAW agents to investigate. Work on our own AI progresses, with it evolving somewhat on its own. We hope to have it fully established by 2075. END SECRETS The Indian Government announces funding into terraforming the space where the Maldives used to be, hoping to allow our Maldivian diaspora to return home someday. We hope for the new islands to be done by 2083.
 * AEAN: We agree to the Jakarta meeting.
 * CCP Flag.png Western China: We thank India for their support.
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg Democratic South China: Xie-xie. We thank the Indian nation for its support of our cause.
 * Flag of Indonesia.svg Indonesian Diplomacy: We accept India's offer to cooperate on the development of a cure and hope the nanobot epidemic will reach a swift end.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Los Angeles applies for the 2084 Summer Olympics, seeing as every time LA has hosted the Olympics (1932, 1984, 2028), a net profit has been created for the city. [Mod Response] We support UN peacekeepers in CAR, but secretly send arms to democratic forces. The US Navy begins exercises in the South China Sea, to protect Democratic South China's coastal waters. We ask to control a FOB base in Guangzhou, to facilitate American troops helping South China. [Mod Response] We ask Canada for a shared border police (to help catch criminals more easily), using one set database, so if a criminal crosses the border, police will be able to catch them easily. We also hope for open borders with Canada, but with some inspection checkpoints at ports of entry. [Mod Response] The CIA begins a mass investigation into the nanobot infection, including uncovering new information previously hidden, as well as making a timeline and database of the infection. A travel advisory is set in place for East Russia, Japan, and China. Sims become more intertwined with American life, as they begin to be used by police forces. (By copying a suspect's brain structure into a computer, making a sim of the suspect, and then attempting to coerce the sim to reveal information about the crime, possibly using torture in some cases [torture to sims is technically legal under the United States Code and international law as sims are considered commercial products] Of course, privacy laws dictate the suspect's brain structure will be deleted if found innocent) This way of revealing who is innocent or not (some calling it a perverted face of justice) streamlines the criminal system and nearly does away with juries and judges. By the end of the year, 0.6% of all criminal cases in the United States use sims. Using artificial intelligence as well as robotic workers, a HypLoop from Los Angeles to Las Vegas (parallel to the I-15) is built this year, and will be opened by 2071. While a trip from LA to Las Vegas took a few hours even with the fastest cars, it will now take upwards of 3 minutes. Midterm elections this year are unusually tight, but the DC manages to retain a small majority in the House, while picking up some seats in the Senate. The AFM loses popularity as many begin to feel alienated by the nationalist, populist ideals of the New Republican Party. The HypLoop from New York to Washington nearly finishes construction, finally connecting New York to Baltimore.
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: We agree to these measures, but refuse to use the inhumane and ethically questionable system of 'Sims' introduced in the American system. We neither believe that they are necessary nor trust their viability in actual use.
 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: Current situation with 13th parallel is concerned by Finnish people, fearing radiation effects of nuclear attacks against Western Russia. Especially, its second-largest city, Saint-Petersburg, which is located just about 165 km from Finland–Western Russia border, is likely to be target of nuclear attacks by the rebels. Therefore, Finland offers diplomatic supports to Western Russia. All direct flights to East Asia are either terminated or diverted to Dubai, Istanbul, Delhi, or Singapore. Finland sends ±1,000 troops to support the UN in peacekeeping campaign in the CAR. Mariehamn–Stockholm crossing is officially opened. The crossing is a bridge-tunnel, which features highways, railways, high-speed rails, and the first underwater rest area, which is built above the tunnel. Nokia reports financial loss, as the company was affected by the crash of VR "bubble". However, Nokia continues to rise in mobile phone market.
 * Flag of the Comoros.svg Comoros: Following the coup led by French, African and anti-government forces, the country is overhauled and an entirely new constitution is written. Many laws are changed, removed and added. The new secular government outlaws all forms of Sharia Law and removes any trace of Islam’s national religion status. The President is now limited to two (2) 3 year terms in office. The new constitution declares the right to bear arms, making the Comoros one of the last countries in the world which explicitly states so, however, many restrictions are put in place to ensure stability and safety (I’ll explain further next turn). The political system works similar to the United States, especially in that each state is permitted to make their own laws and restrictions, but ultimately must obey the federal government.

2071
''' American usage of 'sims' elicit international outcry as the system not only proves ineffective but also sparks debate on the intelligence and human rights granted to robots and artificial intelligence. A 9th Circuit Judge, Roland Weisler, strikes down the practice as unconstitutional and as a violation of human rights, stopping the practice for now. '''

''' Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan officially form the Group of Three, a table through which the three nations communicate their intentions and act on each others' interests. This comes as allegations of Iranian assistance of the 13th Parallel begin to appear, although they have yet to be definitively proven. The G3 elects to assist the Shanghai Confederation in the Chinese Civil War, sending assistance to the countries in the form of small arms and motorised infantry. '''

''' The 13th Parallel itself finally collapses but not without a bang. Allegations that Alexi Borodin himself is actually Russian are proven true, causing the paramilitary groups in Siberia to begin infighting as Borodin commits suicide. Several of the paramilitary groups begin using disarmed ICBMs as kinetic weapons, sending the non-nuclear payloads into the upper Atmosphere only for them to come back down on the former State of Siberia. None of these hit Eastern or Western Russian forces, but a spectacular (and rather horrifying) show of a hundred or so disarmed ICBMs launching into the sky and coming down upon other paramiltary groups become known as the Fireworks of Insanity. '''

''' The Chinese Civil War rages on as Democratic South China and the Confederation of Shanghai trades barbs, with the states of Henan and Hubei declaring alliances with Democratic South China. The war begins to heat up as troops stare each other down along former provincial borders, with former comrades now staring each other down their Coyote sights. '''

''' In lighter news, Los Angeles becomes chosen for the 2084 Summer Olympics. ''' 1. a machine gun or submachine gun that is fully automatic in its operation and actuated by energy developed when it is being fired or has multiple revolving barrels, and any replica or facsimile of a machine gun or submachine gun that is not a toy.
 * Flag_of_the_Philippines.svg Philippines: We have no official actions to the Fireworks of Insanity, but many expressed sorrow for any collateral damage from the incident. We also offer humanitarian aid like medics to Democratic South China [Mod Response]. Meanwhile, we start deploying A.I cleaning machines to assist community volunteers. While skyscrapers and malls have become a few in the country, remaining buildings have been repainted and renovated across the country to look better in shape. Rehabilitation of high speed rail lines also begin. We also enter the bid to be the host of the next available Asian Games, using the Clark Sports City that was constructed for the 2019 ASEAN Games. [Mod Response] Startups have begun developing large robots. First stage of province merging has started, with Southern Leyte, Leyte and Biliran unified as Leyte, Oriental Mindoro and Occidental Mindoro unified into Mindoro, and Abra, Kalinga and Mountain Province into the province of Rangos Valley. The driving scoring system has been installed in Metro Manila (Except Makati, San Juan and Quezon City), Bulacan, Batangas, Aklan, Davao del Sur and Tarlac. If the driver accumulates 12 points, his/her license will be suspended for two months. It is now illegal to walk on a public street wearing inappropriate clothing or while carrying handguns or butcher knives. Travel visas have been imposed, however exceptions are United States, Israel, Canada, Indonesia, Switzerland, India, Eastern Russian Republic, Comoros and New Zealand. Wearing upscale clothing head to foot, eating food in the outdoors or public transportation and not wearing masks while having a cold or cough in the hospital and blaring loud music in a public area like metro stations, squares and shopping malls are all prohibited, with several areas including Tagaytay exempted from these laws. Most international retailers and businesses have been confined to specific areas including the said place. We also want to strengthen diplomatic relations with India [India Response]. Filipino pop is becoming influential outside the country.
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg South China: We accept the Filipino offer of medical aid. Thank you.
 * East Asian Games Committee: We accept the Filipino bid to become the host of the next available Asian games. The Philippines becomes the destination for the 2075 East Asian Games.
 * Indian Diplomacy: We are happy to strengthen diplomatic ties/relations with the Philippines.
 * Flag of the Comoros.svg Comoros: More power is granted to the four republics, allowing greater freedom in creating their own laws and customs, however, ultimately they must comply with federal laws, which are established in agreement with all islands via the National Baraza. The age of consent has been chosen in all four nations: 15 in Njazidja, 14 in Mwali and Nzwani, and 16 in Mahoré. Each island’s defense forces are restored and a formal agreement establishing a permanent joint cooperation between them is put in place. Efforts to improve the country and secure its place a safe haven in the region have been so far successful, considering where the nation was just a few years ago. The HDI of the Comoros is overall 0.682, an improvement by 0.002 since last year. Environmentalists and ecologists are invited to a conference between all four islands to discuss the feasibility of introducing certain animals to the Comoros if they meet the criteria required. Lemurs are currently by far the most important animals which are being considered, as their native habitat in Madagascar is extremely scarce and dozens of species have perished in the past 50 years. Meanwhile, the Baraza officially restricts and/or outright bans the sale, promotion, buying and production of the following weapons:

2. a unit or device that is capable of being used for converting any firearm to a weapon mentioned in paragraph (1).

3. a firearm capable of firing 50 calibre BMG cartridge ammunition.

4. an antipersonnel gas, and an antipersonnel substance, of a corrosive, noxious or irritant nature or that is capable of causing bodily harm, and any weapon capable of discharging the gas or substance by any means.

5. an acoustical antipersonnel device of an intensity that is capable of causing bodily harm.

6. a hand grenade, other than an inert hand grenade, and an antipersonnel mine.

7. a rocket launcher, recoilless rifle, antitank rifle, a bazooka or a rocket propelled grenade type launcher.

8. a mortar, all artillery and any incendiary or inflammable device containing any substance capable of causing bodily harm or damage to property, other than an incendiary or inflammable device primarily designed for vegetation management.

9. any studded glove which if used offensively against a person is capable of causing bodily harm.

10. a ballistic knife that propels or releases a knife-like blade of any material by any means other than an explosive.

11. a push knife, or a similar device designed as a weapon that consists of a single-edged or multi-edged blade or spike and allows the blade or spike to be supported by the palm of the hand so that stabbing blows or slashes can be inflicted by a punching or pushing action.

12. a star knife, or a similar device that consists of at least 2 angular points, blades or spikes, of any material, disposed outwardly about a central axis point and that are designed to spin around the central axis point in flight when thrown at a target.

13. any pistol crossbow designed to be discharged by the use of 1 hand (that is not a toy pistol crossbow) that when discharged is capable of causing damage or injury to property or capable of causing bodily harm.

14. any crossbow designed to be discharged by the use of 2 hands that, when discharged, is capable of causing damage or injury to property or capable of causing bodily harm.

15. a chinese throwing iron that is a hard non-flexible plate having 3 or more radiating points with 1 or more sharp edges in the shape of a polygon, trefoil, cross, star, diamond or geometric shape and constructed or designed to be thrown as a weapon.

17. a mace or any similar article (other than a ceremonial mace made for and used solely as a symbol of authority on ceremonial occasions).

(Note: Regional Laws may vary)
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: Using the new sonic weaponry along with more traditional bombing methods Australia is capable of even greater anti-zombie efforts. The RAAF also tests an EMP cannon that is easy to target and is effective in disabling nanobots, however they still seek to hack into the nanobots as this will allow concentrated destruction of nanobots over a wide area. Australia sends a further 5000 soldiers to fight in Hong Kong. Australia offers 3000 soldiers each to Japan and Brazil (Player Response).With a large portion of their military involved in some war, Australia embarks on a large recruitment campaign and manages to recruit another 5000 soldiers. Meanwhile the Perth Power Plant is completed and the Sydney and Melbourne Plants should be finished in 2072. (Secret) the Australian government begins  anti-missile systems planned to be placed around major cities and other strategic locations (End Secret) Australia asks to buy Manus and Umboi islands from Papua New Guinea (Mod Response).
 * Papua New Guinea: We agree to the Australian offer of purchase. We will begin the process soon.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Despite the ruling by the 9th District Court, the federal government appeals to the Appellate Court and eventually the Supreme Court, who overturns the ruling. However, international outcry forces a condemnation of the "sims" process by President Bradley and some members of Congress, and the project is shut down for the most part, and private companies especially stop use of it. However, Congress, with some bipartisan support, passes the Simulated Persons Regulation Act of 2071, which limits the use of sims, and forbids using them in the justice system, unless a case cannot be solved by any other method. Some basic rights are given to sims, however they are still considered as "commercial applications". Psychological torture to sims is forbidden. The DoD creates SimOS, an operating system designed for easier extraction of information from simulated persons not requiring torture. There are also talks of "putting" a sim into a robotic body, effectively creating a robotic clone of someone. However, the mechanics of it have still not been worked out, and no applications have been found for doing such a thing. We begin the Democratic Entrepreneurial Revitalization Program (DERP) to help democratic nations in development endeavors, such as infrastructure. We fund $200 million to Maghreb and Tunisia as part of DERP, funding their projects such as LSD, ACDC, and the plan to connect most of Africa via highway network. We also promote AIDS, to help facilitate stability in the region. Considering we have the same monetary system (the amero), open borders, a shared border police, and are economically linked together, we find it would be use to form a Union State with Canada, effectively a supranational union. The Union State of North America would facilitate stronger ties and would be great for both countries. [Mod Response] We offer to send an expeditionary force of American troops to South China, to help if war ever breaks out with any of South China's neighbors. [Mod Response] Electricity is restored to most of American West Africa. We now begin a massive modernization of major centers including Accra and Porto Novo. The Togo Legislature is created, and the Togo Province is given extraordinary amounts of autonomy. Elections in Togo have the pro-American Parti de L'unité Nationale wins elections in Togo, and a small minority in the Togo Legislature. In Costa Rica, we secretly support a resistance movement wanting democracy and freedom from the Federation. The first parts for Battle Star Nuevo is launched into space, as NASA begins plans for Droste, a plan to begin lunar mining.
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: We laugh the American proposal out of Parliament. It's ridiculous. We are friends and allies, not a couple. We are too different for such a proposal to occur anytime within the next decades, and in addition, we are still in the British Commonwealth! Surely it'd be awkward with us fellers around.
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg South China: We accept the American offer. We will begin working with American forces soon enough.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government, while taken further back at the Fireworks of Insanity and looks in horror; gets increasingly pissed off, especially with Alexi Borodin committing suicide to avoid eventual capture, and continues fighting all the terrorist paramilitary groups in Siberia with no remorse; while capturing any terrorist leaders and commanders, who all will be taken to trial after the war is over; and also the usual making sure civilians are safe and securing areas etc. [Secret] If allegations do turn out to be true of them assisting 13th Parallel, the government plans on serving all ties with Iran and will close all travel to and from that country. Meanwhile the main cabinet of the government continues residing in Egvekinot until the threat of paramilitary groups declines considerably. [End Secret] The government plans to establish an organisation known as the Russian Union; which will be a military and economic alliance; and offers West Russia, Lower Siberia, the State of Siberia and Zabaykalsky Krai if they are interested in establishing the organisation. [Mod Response] The three bands under Artyom Inc. continue expanding and start to make ; with Iris Ruthenica releasing their own version of Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow and Shattered Crystal releasing their own hardbass version of Satori Maiden ~ 3rd eye. The Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage begins doing other music genres aside from the original group generally sticking with J-pop and hardbass, and sub-groups are established as well; and the Golden Stage group releases their first songs in the heavy metal, Russian hip hop, and Russian pop genres.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Eh- da, da, da. I actually like idea, da. We accept the Eastern Russian proposal.
 * Lower Siberia and Flag of Zabaykalsky Krai.png Zabaykalsky Krai: We accept the Eastern Russian proposal and join the Russian Union.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: After much needed deliberation, we finally decide to pull all of our Afrika Korps in US-administered occupation zones after seeing their main objectives - pacification of isolated areas - is deemed success for us. When they finally went home, the Afrika Korps itself will be properly disbanded and give every Afrika Korps members an medal of appreciation as well remembering those who died at North African War itself. The construction on our “Unified Autobahn” has began just as we cut some of the Autobahn networks around the country that are deemed unsafe and obselete. The phase 1 of “Unified Autobahn” will begin in Hamburg to Munich itself. Bundeswehr ‘futurization’ program is still ongoing, though after much deliberation between the Defence ministers and Bundeswehr generals for many years. We decided to enact an Switzerland-like conscription programme as well as cutting of our 600,000+ members of Bundeswehr to 2% of its numbers to give way for our [SECRET]T-Dolls[END OF SECRET] if they were succesful at this current point of time. German Chancellor Viktor Hoffman has suddenly hospitalized after suffered an grave heart attack while in his private home; at least, though, he managed to survived from it but he went coma after suffering kind of heart attack. The current German Vice-Chancellor Harold Veldt - of CDP fame - has sworned in as an acting German Chancellor and ensures all of German people that Chancellor Hoffman’s health will be improved as long he stay strong for the time being. Nat-Pop music genre is still popular despite some criticism from music critics saying “it’s overrated” itself. [SECRET]Clinical testing and adding some of the important infrastructures for our Erika A.I is still ongoing; same as our prototype of the 1st Generation T-Doll as its continues its ‘reliability tests’ just as we began to improved the T-Doll combat experience through combat testing and some combat simulations, one-by-one, thanks to the minds of IOP company itself. Sangvis Ferri has begun to expand its T-Doll (and its components) factories to Austraila, just as Sangvis Ferri’s name itself became a street-word for ‘employment’ for ordinary Burkinabes in Reformed Burkina Faso while skirting its labor laws and influencing its local politicians itself. Seeing Comoros as an up-start country riped for their failed economy. We offer Comoros to build an Sangvis Ferri T-Doll factory in your country in exchange of economic and defence grant[Comoros player response needed - I need response Mr. Spacey]. Also, the Private Military Branch of the Sangvis Ferri has been expanded expotentially thanks to the North African War veterans coming to this branch to work for money as well as SF executives are planning to produce their own line of T-Doll that differentiated from Bundeswehr-designed T-Doll itself. Research on “Etching Theory” is still ongoing, and if we are successful of ‘reliability test’ in our T-Doll, then we proceed to mass-produce immediately, just without A.I in their “brains” just as we continue its post-development of our A.I itself that would take four or five years in this decade[END OF SECRET].
 * Flag of the Comoros.svg Comoro Response: We respectfully decline the offer due to our country’s small size and lack of available space.
 * Flag of Indonesia.svg Indonesia: Indonesia continues its support of Democratic South China and increases financial support to $10,000,000,000 this year. We also send 10 drones and 500 soldiers to the South Chinese and guarantee more assistance if the war continues to grow more severe. The government begins preparing a potential mission to various asteroids within the asteroid belt, in hopes of mining raw materials present in these asteroids. We expect the mission to launch between 2075-2078. Indonesia threatens sanctions against Iran for their support of the 13th parallel and their support of the Confederation of Shanghai. [Secret] We join the many nations and begin funding the creation of our own partially self-aware artificial intelligence codenamed "Project Majapahit" [Secret] We begin completely moving our power grid from largely deriving its powers from fossil fuels, to one deriving its power from a mix of nuclear, hydroelectric, and solar power. We hope the building of these power sources will also increase unemployment. The Indonesian legislature passes an act that makes all public college institutions free for all Indonesian citizens. Foreign students are required to pay a tuition.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The nanobot crisis is still outraging across Japan, and with British and Australian support, the nanobots are getting toned down, but still comes in hoards of zombies. The Japanese general elections are coming up in the next 2 years, and the Liberal Democratic Party is losing support, due to the lack of action against the nanobots. One of the growing parties is the Constitutional Democratic Party, which they are like the Liberal Democratic Party, but are more focused on slaughtering nanobots. They are also more focused on more industries and factories to facilitate modernized weaponry. Other then that, the political party has the same beliefs as the Liberal Democratic Party, with the exception of the nanobot outtake. [WIP]
 * Flag of Tunisia.svg Tunisia: In international affairs, the Fireworks of Insanity are condemned by the Tunisian government, and small amounts of funds are sent to the East Russian government in order to combat the paramillitary groups plaguing Siberia. In a bid to expand our influence into East Africa, we turn towards Comoros, a nation with a fledgling economy but lots of potential to prosper if given the right circumstances. We ask for a free trade agreement, eliminating tariffs between our countries [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. We also propose a student and work exchange program with Libya, Chad, and Nigeria, making it easier for citizens of said countries to study and get work in Tunisia, and vice versa [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Upgrading of existing rail lines into hyperloops continues, and new lines are being planned. The A2 highway, the first completed highway in the West African Infrastructure program, is fully completed, and construction now begins on several other highways, including the A23/I-23, which will run from Niamey to Accra via Ouagadougou, the A9/I-9, running along the Atlantic coast of West Africa from Calabar, in far southeast Nigeria to Tangiers, and the extension of the already-existing A1 in Tunisia into Libya and Chad, terminating at Moundou. In the Green Sahara project, we begin laying pipelines inland, and creating artificial oases in inland portions of the Sahara Desert. 270 square kilometers of arable land are added.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svg Reformed Burkina Faso: WIP
 * Libya and Chad: We accept the Tunisian offer.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We accept the Tunisian offer but ask that the programs only begin in the next three years, due to constraints with the current educational system.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.png Democratic Republic of Brazil:We decide to end this Fascist Regime and send in 40000 in an all out attack against them.we also have the extra troops sent by Japan and Australia to help us out.[Top Secret] We also send a small team of 20 soldiers to Destabilise the corrupt Fascist Regime and Liberate the people from their grasp by means of propoganda.[Mod Response needed][Top Secret]. When the war is finished we will focus more on international affairs. Now we're are all in on Defeating this menace and Bringing and end to this useless war.
 * Brazilian Special Operations Command: The propaganda operation begins, with the 20 men being assisted by several hundred informants within Occupied Brazil. We will send in more soon, with airdrops incoming for resistance fighters.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: We condemn the "G3"'s support of the Shanghai Confederation, and place sanctions on the three countries. We call on other AEAN members to do the same. [Filipino, Indonesian, and any other AEAN member Response Needed] We offer to send 20,000 troops in assistance to the Democratic Republic of Brazil, seeing it as the true Brazilian state. [Brazilian Response Needed] We offer $3 billion in funding to the island of Comoros. [Comorosian?/Comoroser?/Comoros Response Needed] ISRO announces plans to send a man as far as Jupiter by 2077, resulting in the government increasing funding even further. The 2071 census is held, with results coming back that around 1.78 billion people reside in India, with 61 million being in the Delhi metro. We also hold the conference regarding what to do with the Nanobot Crisis. [AEAN Members Needed] What should we do? Should we send reinforcements to infect countries and risk infection of our own? Should we keep working on a cure with our American allies? What is the best plan we can manage to establish.
 * Flag of Brazil.png Democratic Republic of Brazil: We accept and are very grateful that you offered us troops at this Critical stage of the war.
 * AEAN Conference: We have several different options in mind; first, that proposed by Japan, the usage of Electromagnetic Pulses to disable the nanobots and thus make removal possible; second, that proposed by Indonesia, to simply burn and kill the hosts of the nanobots. In regards to the G3, the organisation is split between condemnation and respect for the countries' choice.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The Green Sahara Project is moving along nicely, with a record of 306 square kilometres of arable land added this year. Economic growth is experienced from the influx of agricultural output, developing the Maghrebi economy. New ports are constructed along the Moroccan coastline, as the country moves towards opening trade to the Western nations. Construction begins on the planned Algiers-Marrakesh and Nouakchott-Bamako-Niamey lines, with the latter hopefully crossing through Ouagadougou as well. [Burkina Faso Response] In hopes of countering the alleged growth of EADP influence in Central Africa, Nigeria and Cameroon are invited to join AIDS. [Mod Response Needed] Troops continue to be maintained in the Central African Republic, and advances further east are planned.
 * Burkinabe Response: We accept the offer.
 * Cameroon: We respectfully refuse the Maghrebi offer, wishing to join the EADP instead.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We choose to join the AIDS. Thank you for the offer.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: More troops are pulled out of the British African Occupation Zones and more policing authority is turned over to local police forces. Nonetheless, 5000 British Troops and the associated military tech remain scattered about the Territories in various permanent military bases. Meanwhile, sonic weaponry moves out of the testing phase with tests on zombies and animals proving successful. They now enter production and are issued to troops fighting against the Federation for use in live combat against humans. Additionally, a sonic cannon is in the testing phase with the plan being that it is able to puncture concrete walls. Bombing campaigns in Japan are toned down a bit and more ground action including the use of a new technique of luring zombies into wide open areas such as fields and stadiums before blowing them all up at once help save on expenses. Last but not least, a hyperloop is built between London and Edinburgh with plans for the world's first under sea hyperloop between France and England planned for next year [Mod Response]. Meanwhile, the first stages of a second Battle Station have been launched into space.
 * Flag of France.png France: We accept the English offer. We hope that this will benefit both our countries greatly.

2072
''' Taichi Kudo, held by the Seattle division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, escapes via port. His escape becomes widely panned as an embarassing failure by the FBI, but what he leaves behind in American possession is of far greater interest. He leaves behind the blueprints for an electromagnetic pulse device and a detailed explanation of how the malfunctioning nanobots react to heat and sonic pulses, with warnings that any attempt to 'burn' or 'blast' out the infection are likely to be utter failures. '''

''' Halfway across the globe, China fares no better. The infection spreads out of Beijing and into Eastern Liaoning and Xilin Gol in Inner Mongolia. British attempts to kill the 'zombies' with a premature designation of the infection are also covered in what becomes known as the 'Kudo Documents', with him writing that British experimentation on 'zombies' will get them the DNA of typical humans. Several times he mocks the United Kingdom for what he describes as 'clear and utter stupidity, an arrogance to behold'. '''

''' The formation of the Russian Union marks the first unitary organisation in the former Russian Federation in decades. With this, the AEAN is quick to pursue good relations with the RU, as is the ATO. '''

''' The Central African Republic's militias continue to push through the country as the war comes to an utter stalemate, with UN peacekeepers operating out of Maghrebi-held towns. The UN-held cities become safe havens for escaping refugees, although others escape to the CAR's neighbours, beginning a migrant crisis. The country's civil war suddenly becomes tangled with that of the Sudanese war, with CAR militias supporting Sudan and the Loyalist faction of the CAR supporting South Sudan. The war, in the words of Washington Post journalist Anders Johansson, is 'heating up'. '''

''' Democratic Arabia begins to open up relations with Iran and Israel, with the country making large overtures to both countries. This is marked by a notable balancing of Israeli-Palestinian relations, with the country relating to both similarly. '''
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The Japanese are disregarded by the British, that they would create such a weapon that will burn or blast the infection. However, the Japanese are planning to create a EMP, in which the project won't last long, only will be finished by 2074. These EMP's will disable zombies for a period of time, stopping the reaction of infecting zombies. Meanwhile, a new Japanese political party is also rising up (yes i said this a lot, suck it), and it's the Technocratic Party. Ran by engineering experts and technological geeks, this party aims to create better technology to end the zombie crisis up in Hokkaido. They also plan to technologically create better weaponry and cities, as well as better electronics. The party has been growing ever since the zombie outbreak in 2064. A speech was made by the Technocrats in order to gain more support in the elections upcoming. However, they are overshadowed by the Constitution Democratic Party by popularity. However the Technocrats are gaining support every day by the average Japanese civilian, and could overtake the Democrats before the elections in 2073.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: With the world events get even crazier than we are seemed to be, we decided to stay neutral for the time being. But in the moment of this time of world’s problems, the German Chancellor, Viktor Hoffman, has passed-away after suffering an second - but fatal - heart attack in an hospital in Hamburg itself. Funeral for our late Chancellor was held in his hometown in Munich, Free State Of Bavaria, Germany that is visited by millions of his supporters. We asked United States, United Kingdom, and France to visit his funeral and pay respect to our late Chancellor itself[US, UK and France response needed]. As a result of his death, Vice-Chancellor Harold Veldt has sworned-in as an temporary Chancellor that would lasts until the Chancellor election in 2074. Meanwhile, the construction of Phase 1 of our ‘Unified Autobahn’ is still on-going just as these project have gained popularity by our ordinary German citizens who had no work in hand. Social and economic reforms for the now-integrated Arabic or North African people were passed, giving them job and economic oppurtunities in this country. Conversion to low power rail-gun system of our tank and APC guns has been ended with mediocre success, though the combat experiences for that kind of weapon system is unknown to us for now. After hearing Brazilian struggles to fight against the Fascist groups in its decades long civil war, we offer them weaponry and adivisors to train their troops harder in its limits[Brazilian Player Response]. [SECRET]Clinical testing and adding several insfrastructures for our Erika A.I project is still ongoing; just as the prototype of our 1st Generation T-Doll is still in ‘reliability tests’, although in its last-legs after seeing the improvments in its ‘combat tests’. Sangvis Ferri continues to expand its factories and subsidaries in Reformed Burkina Faso and occupation zones controlled by United States, France and United Kingdom just as they continue to skirt labor laws and influencing Burkinabe politicians to prevent their scheme from being exposed to the world as well as increase of employment by Burkinabe people itself. Sangvis Ferri Private Military Branch is still expanding as of today. Research of Etching Theory is still ongoing and IOP (now renamed IOP Manufacturing Development Company) have managed to established an HQ for African region in the city of Sfax, encouraging Tunisians to employ under their canopy[END OF SECRET].


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government continues to fight against all terrorist paramilitary groups in Siberia, with some advances being made and a few more areas become secured. The government, further worried about the continued spread of the outbreak, pleads to Mongolia to shut off their borders to close their borders with the Inner Mongolian region of China and also guarantees support to the Mongolians in guarding the border and aiding them if something does happen. [Mod Response] Meanwhile the government also looks to establishing closer ties with India and restore the Special Relationship. [Player Response] Meanwhile the government continues to pursue stronger relations with the ATO outside of the Russian Union as well. The transportation projects begin to be continued as normal. A new highway is planned that will branch from the all the way to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and is given the name A361. Okhotsk Company releases and airs the first season their own mecha animation show, Immortal Kosmos, which gets decent reviews in the nation. Iris Ruthenica releases a cover version of Blitz It (Chirpy Chips; Splatoon 2) which is noted to have a length of 3:48 and an extension as the track it's based on off was made to loop; and Shattered Crystal's cover of the Mazinger Z opening becomes a hit as the mecha genre continues seeing some popularity.
 * Mongolia: We decide to accept the proposal in the interest of our nation.
 * Indian Diplomacy: We are open to the re-establishment of closer ties and restoration of the Special Relationship. We send $12 billion USD in aid, to help fight against the 'Bots.
 * Flag of the Comoros.svg Comoros: Environmentalist organizations and each government continue to discuss the feasibility of certain species being deliberately introduced to any one of the islands depending on their size, needs and how dire their situation. Meanwhile, the Baraza continues to alter laws and further provide for all citizens. The new HDI report shows the country now scores at 0.685, up 0.003 from the previous year. A census is held and reports back a population of 1,113,540 people, a stable population considering the country’s small size.
 * Flag of Australia.svgAustralia: With the project to create an EMP capable of doing mass damage to the zombie hoards having been in action for 4 years Australia is finally ready to test their weapon. Australian scientists estimate that it should have a radius of around 500 km (Mod Response). While waiting for the tests to finish Australia begins to replace their conventional bombing tactics with dive bombing runs using the EMP cannons, due to concerns that the bombs may not be as useful as previously thought. The Nuclear power plant in Sydney is running smoothly, but a problem in the Melbourne reactor has lead to a two year delay in construction and almost to a major crisis. The new Norman tanks are also successful and the Australian government hopes to have 100 of these tanks by 2075. Australia pursues closer ties with Germany  and requests a free trade agreement with Germany (Player Response). In other diplomatic areas, Australia applies to join the UN as they think that this organisation will help to bring peace into this fractured world (Mod Response).
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We gladly accept Australia's readmission into to the organisation.
 * German Dip: We accept the offer of free trade agreement with Germany.
 * Mod Response: The actual effective range of the EMP is far smaller, with a radius of around 25 metres, but it does not compare to the reputation of Australian scientists for their gross miscalculation.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: [Secret] MI6 is tasked with locating and capturing the fugitive known as Taichi Kudo. The mission will not end until this target is met. [Mod Response] [/Secret] Work begins on the hyperloop between France and England. Interestingly enough, it will be the world's first undersea hyperloop. Meanwhile, blanket bombing of infected Japanese cities completely ceases as the tactic proves ineffective. Instead, targeted and conservative mass detonations of hordes is the main tactic employed. Britain requests permission to use Australian EMP weaponry on the zombies as well. [Player Response] It is hoped that collaboration between British and Australian scientists will lead to a British EMP device as well. In South America, British troops continue the fight against tyranny and the sonic cannon is issued as a new demolition and anti-tank directed artillery piece. Similar cannons are being adapted for Navy use as well. Also, cyber attacks on enemy infrastructure has become a massive component of the war effort as the Cyber Force settles into its place as a core member of the Military.
 * MI6: Sir, we've no way of finding him... the trail goes cold. A routine cargo transport to Hawaii, after which the amount of cargo ships in the Honolulu Automated Harbour makes it impossible to check where or when he left port. Possible destinations would include Japan, Taiwan, or neutral Nauru, but we have no way of confirming any of this.
 * Australia Response: We offer a joint EMP caimpaign that will allow Britain and Australia to collaborate on the use of some EMP’s, and hope to help Britain with their own EMP program.


 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Following what we'd call a very successful AEAN meeting, we choose to pursue Japan's proposal and Kudo's suggestion of using EMP's. We announce that wherever Kudo is, we offer him asylum, in return for assistance in our plans to take out the nanobots. [Mod Response Needed] We also condemn British attempts to kill the zombies, seeing it as barbaric and unnecessary. YOU ARE NOW READING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: We begin construction of an EMP, nicknamed Moksha, and contact Eastern Russia for possible usage, in hopes of disabling the nanobots. We hope it to be finished by 2075. [ERR Response Needed] SECRET ADJOURNED We call upon East Turkestan and West China to close borders with Inner Mongolia. [Mod Response Needed] We send our regards to the death of our German Chancellor, but will not attend his funeral. We condemn the rise of parties we condone as "neo-Nazi" in said country, as the result of our PM, Gandhi, not attending.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: [Secret] President Minako Ignatyev accepts India's offer. [End Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States Diplomacy: [Secret] Mr. Kudo, despite his escape, is still part of the US federal government's investigation into the nanobot crisis, so we ask India if perhaps offering asylum for someone wanted by the United States is the greatest idea. [End Secret]
 * East Turkestan and West China: Already quite the ways ahead of you, our Indian friends. We did so long ago.
 * Undisclosed Transmission: [Secret] I refuse the offer, although I admire the courage of you in attempting to do this. I have something to do and an apocalypse to fix. The senbonzakura in the air are very much apparent of this... [Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Not much occurs in the nation this year. Hyploop 3 and 4 begin construction, s well as "special" hyperloops connecting people from metropolitan areas to America's great national wonders. Hyloop Zion and Grand Canyon are proposed to bring people to Utah's and Arizona's great national parks. Togo is planned to be released next year, as a democratic country part of ATO and under America's wings. The federal government behinds an investigation into Kudo's escape, while we keep files left behind by Kudo secret, however are willing to share them in fellow nations concerning the nanobot investigation if necessary. The 31st amendment is proposed, offering a "union" system to act as an intermediary between the federal and state governments. While the kinks are still being worked out, it gains traction. While we are saddened to see Canada refute the union state and deny both our nations something great, we respect their choice. We instead offer "HypLoop International", a hyperloop connect people all the way from Anchorage in Alaska, all the way down Canada's Pacific Coast, connecting major cities like Vancouver and stopping at Seattle. While it would be very expensive, it would bring immense economic benefits. [Mod Response] An artificial island off the coast of Florida is being built by a private company, using new land reclamation technologies to produce new land, to be used for a tourist resort. The project is permitted and supervised by the federal government, and we hope to use it in the GEZ to allow a larger military complex be built there. NASA's Loop Project goes smoothly, nearly complete. It will compliment the Battle Star System. Speaking of the BSS, Battle Star Neuva is complete, and monitors South America. It is mainly used for military purposes and defenses against the Federation. Snow falls across the Los Angeles basin for the first time since 1962, and in Houston and New Orleans, the light snow that has been falling for most winters turns violent, as a sharp but quick snowstorms sweeps the region. In the Northeast, a devastating blizzard kills 14 and hospitalizes many. With the MI6 graciously finding out the whereabouts of Kudo could be in Nauru, Japan, or Taiwan, the CIA takes this one step at a time. [secret] We ask the Nauruan government to allow American investigators to conduct a thorough investigation, by allowing us documents. [Mod Response; end secret] We also try to find any digital trace of Kudo, while concentrating our efforts in Japan and Taiwan to find the now felon. as well as asking for their help in the investigation. [Mod Response and Player Response]
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: Ah- now that's something all of us can sign up to. We agree to the proposed Hyperloop International. Thanks for putting up an offer that we can actually  accept.
 * Flag of Taiwan.png Taiwan: We aren't very assured that the US will find the 'felon', whom we must remind the US was detained for no other reason other than his conscientious objection to cooperating with the American government. However, we will conduct an internal investigation in the country and pass the results to our American friends.
 * Nauru: We have nothing to hide. We welcome our American friends to find their target.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Our infrastructure projects continue, with hyperloops between Tunis and Gabes completed, and an extension of the hyperloop out all the way to Accra via the planned ACDC City, Gao and Ouagadougou has started construction, but will likely not be finished until 2079 or 2080. The student exchange program between Libya, Burkina Faso and Chad is implemented, with Nigeria’a addition to it pending 2075. We also offer to extend this student exchange program to Maghreb and Comoros [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. In the Green Sahara project, progress is made in making inland areas of southern Tunisia more habitable, and some artificial oases have been built. A total of 200 square kilometers of arable land is added, mainly near these new oases. We propose a biannual meeting between all members of AIDS and the EADP, the Bilateral Inter-Alliance Technological Commitee Hearing (BIATCH), where all members of both alliances send their greatest scientists to meet with each other and discuss technological breakthroughs, with the aim of helping all nations of Africa progress and not fall behind the others[MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. In domestic issues, a controversial Universal Basic Income policy passes in November 2072 after being rejected and revised three times.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: The 2072 elections are characterized by a great emphasis on economics, specifically on foreign companies in Burkina Faso. Although President Pierre Kebi is elected again with a landslide of 67.9% of the total vote, the opposition has raised major concerns about his economic policy of allowing foreign companies like Sangvis-Ferri to operate in the nation nearly unchecked, with the opposition leader Jean Coulibaly saying that, “Allowing this state of affairs to continue any longer would make Burkina Faso into an anarcho-capitalist nation where companies whose leaders have never set foot in the country even once would shackle the common working-class Burkinabe into wage slavery, unwillingly serving the interests of corporations who do not care one smidgen about Burkina Faso at all”. Meanwhile, massive infrastructure and public works programs continue across the nation as part of Plan 2080, with several solar farms being constructed in the northern desert, which will hopefully make enough energy to completely power the entire country when added on to current electric output. With help from Tunisia, the Green Sahara project has also been kicking off, with better irrigation systems and a “Great Wall of Trees” to stop desertification being in the works. Construction on the A23 highway, which will pass through most big cities in the nation and ultimately connect Accra to Niamey (and thus the existing African highway system), begins. Several rail lines are also under construction, and the first line of the Ouagadougou Metro is built, for now only servicing 7 stations mainly in the downtown, but with plans to expand. Urban renewal and slum removal projects kick off, with the first few “Residences Economiques” housing projects, or REs, successfully rehousing 20,000 slum dwellers. A mall is also built in Ouagadougou, which will hopefully entice food and retail companies to set up shop in the country.
 * EADP: We accept the Tunisian offer.
 * AIDS Council: We accept the Tunisian proposal and hope this will advance Africa to a new level.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We accept the proposal for a student exchange program and membership in the BIATCH.

2073
''' The United States continues to be humiliated as the 'fugitive' Kudo uploads a computer virus into the internet, spreading first by social media before eventually reaching the devices of the U.S. Government. The virus wipes almost all information about him from databases, and spreads internationally as well, hindering the international search for him. The American public in particular are unamused by the antics of their government, with 76% of Americans against his incrimination. '''

''' At the same time, Japanese efforts slowly chug along in Hokkaido, barely succeeding as their new EMP device lends way to easier nullification of the nanobotlia. Special Operations units in Hokkaido travelling deep into infected areas begin to discover a trail of what appears to be specialised EMP devices, with rescued civilians along the trail speaking of an elderly man travelling along the road protecting them. This is suspected to be Kudo, as the trail leads to the epicentre of the Japanese virus - Tomamu, Hokkaido. '''

''' The Siberian Conflict ends as the last of paramilitary groups are finally put down. However, with the Siberian government all but collapsed, it remains to be seen what exactly is to be done in the State of Siberia. At the same time, Iranian support of the paramilitary groups is finally revealed by the Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency. Iran, while apologising for their support, makes no material actions towards the Eastern Russian nation. '''

''' Elsewhere, the world's problems continue. In China, the nanobotlia infection is all but rampant, with it spreading out of Inner Mongolia and into Western Mongolia, while it continues on into Northeast China. Down below, Democratic South China launches the first major incursion of the conflict, pushing into Fujian and kicking off the first major advance. '''


 * Flag of the Comoros.svg Comoros:Leading world architects are hired to design new commercial and household buildings which both incorporate technology of the 2070s and ancient Islamic styles. This overhaul of the communities must be environmentally friendly and compact to ensure no damage to the rainforests and island itself. HDI reports score the Comoros at a 0.687, a 0.001 increased from last year. WIP
 * Flag_of_the_Philippines.svg Philippines: In Metro Manila, demolition of unused and closed skyscrapers, shopping malls, homes and other structures continue. Most of them are replaced into parks or public square areas. We release new minibuses that run on solar power, similar to the e-jeepneys launched in 2017. The Clark Sports City severely refurbishes for the upcoming Asian Games, and begins planning of a grand opening ceremony. We convert the site of the former Ninoy Aquino International Airport into a small mixed-use development with a church, spaces for a roofed street food and seafood market, and three, 7 storey apartment buildings where former slum dwellers from Navotas, Tondo, Payatas and Marikina have been relocated. The House of Representatives of the Philippines is moved to a new, modern Spanish-style building in Paranaque City. The Philippine National Railways have been completely rehabilitated and it is now a renovated suburban rail system. Flood barriers have been installed on many flood prone urban areas like Leyte. The Philippines’ Human Development Index is now at 0.810. We would like to improve ties with several European countries, including Germany [Germany Response]
 * German Diplomacy: We accept your offer for better ties between our two nations.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: The campaign for 2074 Chancellor election has begun in the midst of reports that the CDP party have beginning to show its cracks and fighting between pro-Junko and pro-Veldt groups for the candidateship of the Chancellor itself. But after countless of publicized reports that sparked controversies over the CDP itself. The CDP spokesperson have announced that Juncker “Junko” Lutjens will be the candidate for the CDP party in the next year’s election itself. On the other hand, construction of Phase 1 of our “Unified Autobahn” is still ongoing. As we some of the nations began to built their own Hyper-Loop train system, we laid out our own Hyper-Loop plans that connects Hamburg to Berlin under the project name “Projekt Edelweiss”. After seeing the relationship building between us and Austraila was an monumental success, we offer India and Eastern Russian Republic an free trade and defence agreement in exchange that our German companies (especially the Sangvis Ferri) will be established inside of their respective country itself[INDIA AND EASTERN RUSSIAN PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. [SECRET]Post-development for our Erika A.I project is still ongoing, but the A.I program itself has finally worked perfectly fine thanks to repeated clinical tests throughout the years and our program may finally injected to the “brains” of our 1st Generation T-Doll that can operate independently from our(Human) commands like an human itself. In speaking of which, the ‘reliability tests’ for our T-Doll prototype has ended with mixed results, but majority of that results are favorable for us and we finally gave Sangvis Ferri in their factories an clearance to mass-produce T-Dolls (re-named it as Autonomous Dolls, or A-Dolls for short, produced specifically for civilian work-force around the world) and we will announce the world the existence of our greatest invention by next year. For now, the newly-produced A-Dolls will be held in SF storages in Reformed Burkina Faso for the mean-time before we announced the existence of Erika A.I program by next year. Meanwhile, despite the growing criticism by Burkinabe opposition members by their style of business-making in their own country, Sangvis Ferri continues to be popular for the ordinary Burkinabes themselves as they’ve seen the Sangvis itself as far-more reliable company than any other local companies in Reformed Burkina Faso while continues to skirt Burkinabes labor laws as well as increasing its influence to the newly-elected president of Reformed Burkina Faso and all of its politicians itself (except for, well, Burkinabe opposition members). Sangvis Ferri Private Military Branch continues to expand just as they began to guard every Sangvis Ferri T-Doll factories away from opposition groups, as well as their own line of T-Dolls is still in development but leaking its names of Sangvis Ferri T-Doll types to the internet itself (i.e: Ripper, Vespid, Jaeger, Brute, etc). Development status of our “Etching Theory” is now half-complete and its development time may soon decrease dramatically thanks to IOP Manufacturing company (agressively) convincing the Tunisian people in the city of Sfax to employ under their canopy itself.[END OF SECRET].
 * Indian Diplomacy: We decline, we don't need German companies in our country. We're fine on our own, thank you. (We are also wary of these "T-Dolls", with satellites picking up the establishment of many factories in Tunisia)
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: The government kindly declines, saying that the nation is fine on our own as well.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: In politics, the Centrist party wins the election with 93 seats, the Libertarian party has 52 seats and the remaining 5 seats are taken by minor parties. This brings Prime Minister Philip McKelly into power. The Australian government apologises again and again to the Australian public and especially to the families and friends of those killed and injured. They promise that a test or experiment this reckless and dangerous will never be permitted to happen again, and the Australian government is scrambling to regain power in the region. Everyone within 500 km of Warburton is temporarily evacuated while tests are conducted to see if any potential dangers have arisen from this catastrophe (Mod Respons). Unfortunately the nanobot infection must be stopped and so the city of Tianjin becomes the first city to have the Emu 500 used upon it. Australia also requests permission from Japan to use the EMP on Hokkaido (Player Respons). In the Chinese conflict Australia decides to send 10 of the new tanks to Hong Kong, and promise southern China that they will have our full support thought it this entire conflict. (Secret) Australian missile defence systems are beginning to be put up around Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane (End Secret).
 * Mod Response: There is nothing dangerous within 500 kilometres of Warburton, however every electronic device within approximately 900 kilometres not shielded by military grade casings are destroyed beyond repair, plunging parts of Western Australia into a temporary Stone Age. Electrical infrastructure as far as Darwin have recorded disruptions, mainly urban infrastructure and cell networks. The event also causes an increase of tension with the Aborigine community, as the EMP was detonated on an Aboriginal reservation. On the bright side, the people of Warburton enjoyed observing the artificial aurora australis caused by the blast.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the paramilitary groups having all been defeated; most of the military is pulled out though some stay behind in case there is a re-emergence. The government begins to help the State of Siberia get back on their feet, and aids them in rebuilding. Meanwhile with the outbreak spreading to Mongolia, the government begins to aid them in containing the outbreak with a part of the East Russian Armed Forces being sent to aid them as promised. Security on the Chinese border is increased as the government worries about further outbreak, and requests the other members of the Russian Union to work together and prevent the spread of the outbreak into their nations as well as co-operating with one another on securing the borders; including West Russia despite them not bordering China nor Mongolia. [Mod Response] Two casinos begin construction in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky while three begin construction in Vladivostok. The A361 highway begins construction; while several more continue to be planned to better connect the nation all across the board. Okhotsk Company begins work on a second season for their new mecha show; and Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage releases two new songs that were used in the opening and ending of the Immortal Kosmos, with both of them having extended versions as well. Artyom Inc. begins to plan to add two more bands to their series, with names for both being voted upon this year. This years winter becomes harsh as a major cold wave strikes the nation along with blizzards, resulting in the deaths of over 1000 people, and also leading to some cold temperatures being broken, most notably Oymyakon recording a temperature as low as −79.8 C, shattering their previous record of −67.7 C. Yakutsk also records a similar breaking temperature, reaching as low as −73.2 C; beating their previous record of −64.4 C. Vladivostok also broke their record low, being recorded as going as low as −32C, going .6 C lower than their previous record of −31.4 C. Other cities and towns that saw new record lows include Khabarovsk, recording a temperature of −42.3 C (breaking previous record of −40.0C); Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky recording −35.1 C (breaking −31.7 C); Egvekinot recording −53.1C (beating −48C); Pevek at −55.8C (beating −50C); and reaching −53.2C (beating −51.5C). This cold wave is noted to be among the worst disasters in the nation; and the government begins investing more in infrastructure that can endure the return of harsher environments; along with investing in other areas.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The first ever BIATCH meeting is held in Tunis, with our country showcasing new boring technology, allowing faster, less dangerous construction of tunnels [MOD RESPONSE ON WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES BRING (PLAYER NATIONS, DO THIS IN YOUR TURNS)]. Extension of the Trans-Tunisian Hyperloop (now rechristened the Western African Hyperloop) is completed up to Gadamis, Libya, and construction has extended far into Maghreb Algeria, almost all the way to the ACDC. Connection of the existing Tunisian and Maghrebi highway systems has been completed, and extension of the A1 into Tripoli has been completed as well. The Green Sahara project has been stronger than ever, with new boring technology allowing faster construction of pipelines across the desert, allowing faster greenification of arid lands. 500 square kilometers of arable land have been added this year. In other news, between 27 January and 6 February 2073, a cold wave striking Western Europe and the Sahara and Sahel regions of Western Africa results in several record lows being broken, including a recorded -5.3°C in Tunis (previous record -2°C), -7.1°C in Bizerte (previous record -3°C), -4.8°C in Sfax (previous record -2.8°C), and -2.7°C in Sousse (previous record 4.5°C), among others.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: WIP
 * Libya: To the BIATCH conference, we bring a plane designed specifically for cloud seeding, making the process more efficient and effective.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil: We along with our allies support manage to push through the defensive line. We employ the pincer Movement to cut off any form of support between the enemies. We also employ Blitzkrieg tactics to quickly take back land.[Top Secret] We ask our Recon team on the status of their primary mission and whether it was a success or not.[Mod Response Needed][Top Secret]. Due to the support from other countries we are able to elude Poverty for now. We ask the Unconditional Surrender of the Fascists because we don't want more bloodshed.[Mod Response Needed].
 * Brazilian Special Operations Command: The mission continues to proceed as planned. We have several hundred agents within Occupied Brazil sending information to us as I speak.
 * Federation of South America.png Federation of South America: Never will we abandon our cause against the Western Communists. We will always fight for Brazil, even if you brainwashed idiots continue to blindly fight on the behalf of the whites and Americans.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: For the first ever BIATCH meeting, our nation decides to showcase new pipe-laying techniques specific to desert terrain, as well as new technology for the efficient desalination of sea water to a comparably lower salinity for irrigation purposes and high capacity pumps. The ACDC project begins with tonnes of materials being transported to a designated location where the historical borders of Algeria, Mali and Niger once intersected. Officially known as Aoudaghost, construction is set to begin on the new settlement, as well as lines to connect it to the Nouackhott-Bamako-Niamey lines. Support for Occupied Sudan continues, as well as our involvement in Occupied Central Africa. Seeing as seasonal cold waves could affect the efficiency of the Green Sahara Project, more desalination plants are built in Nouakchott, Casablanca and Dakhla. Speaking of which, the project has raised 170 square kilometres of arable land this year, with the LSD project preventing the redesertification of converted lands.

2074
''' Between the efforts of Japanese, Australian and British forces in Hokkaido, a breakthrough occurs, with EMPs enabling JSDF forces to move further into the island, the infection finally turning around somewhere. Elsewhere, Taichi Kudo, with two children in tow, Koichi Takeda and Shiho Miyano, surrenders to U.S authorities in Honolulu, after miraculously evading international efforts for almost two years. The two children are expected to be sent back to Japan in foster care. His reappearance also marks the discovery of the original blueprints for the nanobotlia, which are handed to U.S authorities. '''

''' But China sees no respite. The Mongolian government abandons much of the country west of Ulaanbataar as it sets up defensive positions to prevent the nanobotlia infection from spreading eastwards, with cases beginning to appear in Zabakalsky Krai. Meanwhile, the Chinese Civil War rages on as Shaanxi allies itself with Democratic South China, attacking the Shanghai Confederation from the North. The Fujian front becomes a stalemate, the mountainous region becoming home to trenches and horrifying weather caused by Global Cooling. '''

''' The South American War continues to heat up as renewed Brazilian offensives trigger a Federation pushback. While the Brazilian military advances into the Lower Amazon, the Federation launches an all-out naval invasion of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, marking the first major incursion on American soil since the war of 1812. Federal Forces take Ponce, Mayaguez and other areas along the Puerto Rican coast, while Santo Domingo and San Pedro De Macoris become occupied by a large Federation force, the first of its kind seen since the original offensives of 2043. Panama becomes pressured by an ever-increasing Federation presence on their border, an invasion appearing imminent. '''

''' The Moscow Defence Pact officially disbands, with Western Russia leaving the pact as well as Uzbekistan. Egypt, Pakistan, and other remaining members instead join the G3, becoming the Eastern Cooperation Pact. Meanwhile, tensions begin to rise between Turkey and its Kurdish population due to alleged intensive violence committed against Kurdish populations on the Turkish-Syrian border. '''

''' The heat continues to be turned up unnecessary notches in what is being called the Central African-Sudanese Conflict, with UN Peacekeepers struggling to protect neutral cities from harm by militias and loyalists in both nations. Human rights violations committed by the militias and loyalists continue to be seen as chemical weapons, as well as what might be nanobotlia, are seen in the possession of differing groups in the region. '''
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the brazen attack on American soil by Federation forces, the Cyber Force begins knocking out Federation power grids left right and centre in an attempt to dismantle the Federation communications systems. Simultaneously, the Airborne Marines begin under cover missions to bomb dams and airfields (civilians are taken into account and if the projected civilian casualty list is too long obviously the mission is not carried out). Meanwhile, more air restrictions are placed on the various East Asian nations embroiled in the nanobotlia crisis. Blanket screening on all individuals entering the country regardless of place of origin or citizenship begin in case the nanobotlia has jumped to other parts of the world. The government petitions the Irish government to emply the same tactics in tandem with the British government or the Northern Irish border may have to be closed. [Mod Response] Meanwhile, with the use of EMPs widespread in Japan and the Japanese Archipelago seeing a turn towards the better, some attention is turned towards China and Mongolia. Unfortunately, it is inconceivable for Britain to fight nanobotlia everywhere. That being said, Britain is willing to sell Mongolia EMPs under the condition that they must be used with British oversight. [Mod Response] Britain also reasserts its commitment to defend Tibet and the Himalayan nations against nanobotlia. An message is directed to the AEAN requesting assistance and possible cooperation in containing the spread of nanobotlia to China and Mongolia. A summit between ATO, the Eastern Cooperation Pact, and the AEAN to discuss the nanobotlia crisis in full and stark detail and thoroughness, with anything on the table is proposed for next year [Mod/Player Responses] Last but not least, Britain asks America for permission to analyse the blueprints of the nanobotlia, as well as the potential for an ‘interview’ with Taichi Kudo. [Player Response]
 * Eastern Cooperation Pact: We accept the British offer for a summit.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: Of course. Although the interview would have to take place in Seattle, at his house, as we are wary of another possible escape.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: Australia is shocked that the Federation would do something as reckless as an attack on American soil. In response a further 8000 soldiers are sent to Brazil, and we offer to support he USA and Panama if they require it (Player/Mod Response). Meanwhile Australia is looking into the potential of our EMP cannons in regular war fare in order to knock out enemy electronics, already the RAAF is planning to drop EMPs on cities and army bases controlled by the Brazilian fascist forces. Seizing an opportunity however, a huge recruitment campaign begins, likening the fascist Federation to the also fascist Nazis, and calling on all young Australians to join the army and fight for their country. Nearly 8000 new recruits, and more expected to join in the years to come. At home the first of the pipelines are completed in rural Northern Territory, this allows Australian farmers to have easy access to water.  And as this major project draws to an end a new one begins, plans for an Australian lunar mission are drawn up, and are expected to be completed in 2079 this will (hopefully) pave the way for other manned space missions and possible Australian colonies. Construction begins on Manus Island to increase the size of the islands settlements as part of a project that will eventually bring large numbers of migrants to the island to boost its population and economy. Umboi island will be used as a Pacific military post however construction there is not planned until 2076. Finally Prime Minister McKelly seeks a meeting with the leaders of other nations in Oceania, we seek to achieve better relationships with our closest neighbours and to ensure that “all of our nations stay together and that going forward we will always look after one another. Whether it be military, economic or any other form of crisis we shall always come to help.” (Mod Response).
 * Flag of Panama.png Panama: We accept the Australian offer for assistance.
 * Micronesia, Nauru, and New Zealand: We agree to meet with Prime Minister McKelly.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government continues to get increasingly paranoid, and begins to watch the border with Zabaykalsky Krai with high surveillance and several checkpoints as a precaution to make sure the outbreak doesn't spread. Several towns within five kilometres of the border are ordered to evacuate as well. Nevertheless, the government continues sending support to both Zabaykalsky Krai and Mongolia to aid in the outbreak crisis with special precautions taken to not get infected themselves or anyone else. The government again requests the other members of the Russian Union to aid and work together to fight against the outbreak, and suggests in developing EMPs to combat the outbreak together. [Mod Response] [Secret] While the proposal has yet to be accepted and with the outbreak looking dire, the government asks India if they are still up to selling EMPs as the proposed development of our own EMPs with the other members will still take some time itself. [Player Response] [End Secret] The government continues aiding the State of Siberia in recovering and reconstruction along with some funding for aid in that regard; and some military presence being increased to also aid them in helping to prepare to combat the further spread of the outbreak. The voting comes in for the two new bands by Artyom Inc.; with Voyampolsky and Polyarnaya Zvezda being the names voted upon respectively.
 * Russian Union: We will begin production of EMP devices and experimentation with such devices effective immediately.
 * Flag of Libya (VD).png Islamic Republic of Libya: The new pro-Arabian, pro-African, and Islamic socialist government under the Farhat regime has allowed for a boost in general morale and motivation of Libya's citizens to play active roles in society. After decades of internal conflict caused following the Arab Spring and the recent creation of Maghreb, a sharp move in the creation of a new sense of identity and motivation is made for the average Libyan citizen. This movement has influenced the return of cultural importance for the Libyan society, with pottery, paintings, and music to be made on a more regular basis as to outshine the neighbor's Egypt and Tunisia. The military, having fallen into disrepair and mismanaged funding, is scraped and replaced with the People's National Army of Libya, a new outfit for the military under the Farhat regime. With high focus on the development of new technologies and the updating of it's current material, the introduction of more advanced automatic weaponry, as well as more protective body armor based off of Roman-esque design is created. A much better version of the common flamethrower is created in addition, with it's model resembling something of the US-Vietnam model. Training is harsh, and only the strong survive while the weak are sent back to their homes or put in factories where they serve to produce arms on behalf of the Libyan military. The People's Army stands at a freshly recruited 200,000, but is expected to increase to 600,000 by the end of the decade. The Air Force is also updated. Afro-Arab imperialist moves begin being made in foreign policy, but much of it is kept under wraps and away from the general public.
 * Kuro: 400,000 to 30,000. And 1.5 million to just 60,000. The Libyan population at this time is only 11.2 million. Also, no nations have laser weaponry yet, because this isn't Downfall. No laser weapons exist as of yet.
 * Fixed.
 * Kuro: Don't test me, Solace. I said 30,000 to 60,000 and that is staying. Although I will allow the 60,000 to be increased to 100,000.
 * Flag of the United States.svgUnited States of America: Outrage and fury sweeps the American public, not seen ever in American history, the Atlanta Attacks, 9/11, or even Pearl Harbor. President Bradley, as any prudent politician would do, uses this fury to attack the Federation and ensure her re-election. She wins easily in the biggest election victory ever since 1984. Naval fleets that severely outmatch the Federation's arrive in the Caribbean, and begin to shell Federation beachheads in Puerto Rico, while attempting to avoid civilians. An amphibious landing of San Juan begins, with air and naval support. [Mod Response] We offer to send elements of our Atlantic Fleet to the Dominican Republic. [Mod Response] We also test both our Battle Stars, both equipped with kinetic bombardment systems, as well as specifically designed "atmospheric missiles", effective just a missile being launched from the Battle Star. We use kinetic bombardment, as well as atmospheric missiles, to destroy Federation military and political targets, with some accuracy. The effectiveness of this still needs to be tested. [Mod Response] More American troops are sent to Panama, to act as the first line of defenses. Defenses are built on the Costa Rican and Columbian borders. We begin air strikes on Federation controlled Nicaragua and Federation controlled Costa Rica, to destroy any important military bases and targets. We also begin decapitation strikes on leaders in these places, and encouraging the Panamanian army to begin incursions into Costa Rica, to protect their northern border and to free their brothers in the North. [Mod Response] More support, as well as CAS soldiers, are sent to Free Brazil. We delay the independence of Togo, seeing the war against the Federation. In ports in Puerto Rico not controlled by the Federation, troops are quickly assembled to begin a defensive line, as well as an evacuation of civilians at the Port of Mayagüez. We launch air strikes at Caracas and Maracaibo. In lighter news, HypLoop 3 and HypLoop Zion finish construction, although further construction of other HypLoops will be delayed due to the war. The sea walls in place in New York and Washington D.C are finally dismantled, seeing as the maintenance of these has cost thousands a year, and the threat of sea level rise is laughable. Brysons Island is completed twelve miles off the coast of Fort Myers, and the federal government begins implementing this technology to build military bases in Guam, although construction of such new bases will not begin until 2080. The United States dollar stops being legal tender this year, as ameros become the only legal tender in the United States. We put Mr. Kudo on house arrest in Seattle, with his house monitored and guarded by a robotic security system.
 * USAF: Ah hell, all these pieces a'... Sir, we're pushing Federation forces off San Juan, although we're encountering heavy resistance. We'll need more forces to make the 52nd State Federation-free.
 * Dominican Republic: We accept American assistance... oh dear god there's another one, fire! We'll see you Americans on the battlefield!
 * Battle Star Program: While the strikes are highly effective, we have found that they are often off their target by several kilometers. We'll continue to improve the system as it goes.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: In the 2074 Tunisian elections, former Lieutenant Farid Zinadine, the only survivor of the Dodi nuclear attack during the North African War, who also happens to be a charismatic populist of the National Conservative Party, the largest party in the Conservative Coalition, wins by a tiny margin. This marks the first time the Conservatives have gained power since 2059. The situation is further complicated by his campaign promises, including to bring Sharia law back to Tunisia, legalize guns for all, and to end several welfare projects, citing them as a “waste of money”, causing large amounts of backlash by the left. He has also made disparaging remarks on the LGBT community multiple times, including an Internet post during his campaign saying that “Gays are unnatural freakish humans who deserve hell. May Allah strike them down”, sparking fears that his election could reverse human rights in the country for decades. However, as the National Assembly remains under control of the Democratic Socialists and the Center Choice Coalition, many predict that not much of his policies, if any, will pass. One of the first actions under this new government is to send 1,000 troops overseas to Puerto Rico, to aid our ally, the United States, in retaking their land from the fascist Federation. We propose to all AIDS members a common currency, the AIDS Credit, which will be based off the already-existing Burkinabe Credit (which itself is pegged to the Tunisian Dinar at a rate of 3:1) [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Progress on the Western African Hyperloop continues, with the line completed as far as Tamanrasset, Maghreb, and construction ongoing into Maghreb Mali. Highways across West Africa also continue to be constructed. Wrapping up of the Green Sahara project in Tunisian borders begins, with the last few pipelines completed, but we now begin helping our fellow Saharan and Sahelian nations, such as Maghreb, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso even more, outsourcing Tunisian boring equipment and in some cases, workers, as attention of the Green Sahara project in Tunisia itself begins shifting to selling the newly arable land to prospecting landowners, as well as establishing the portions of unuseable desert left as national parks and nature reserves. This year, Tunisia sees 370 square kilometers of arable land added. In other news, we bid for the 2078 World Cup [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgReformed Burkina Faso: The stretch of the A23 passing though Burkina Faso has been fully completed, allowing for faster and easier passage through the nation, and linking it up to the main trans-Saharan route, the A2 highway connecting Tunis and Lagos. In anticipation of becoming a major transport hub, a large train station is built in downtown Ouagadougou, which will eventually have access to two hyperloop lines and many other conventional rail lines. Solar panels are distributed to every home, and construction of safe and sturdy houses in rural areas begins. Remote and inaccessible locations are being connected by road, and 98% of all roads in the country are now paved. 97% of the nation also now has access to electricity and toilets, 91% have access to primary and secondary schools within 10 km of their residences, and 96% of people have access to healthcare (which was made free this year) within 10 km of their houses. Urban renewal and slum clearance also continues, with slums across major cities nationwide being torn down and replaced with RE housing blocks. The standard of living has also gone up quite rapidly, with the HDI of the nation going up from 0.531 in 2067 to 0.627 now, with no signs of stopping anytime soon. Average income has also increased, and the majority of people are above of the international poverty line. More malls, amusement parks, and movie theaters are constructed, as more people have the means to shop and the money to stop working for a while and have fun.
 * Chad and Nigeria: We accept the Tunisian offer, although we doubt that a unified currency is possible in the current decade.
 * Fédération Internationale de Football Association: We accept the Tunisian bid to become host of the next World Cup in 2078. We will give you the results of the bid next year.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We accept the proposal, but still stare similar concerns with Chad and Nigeria.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.png Democratic Republic of Brazil: We are enraged by the Federation's act of unprovoked violence. The Federation called us 'brainwashed idiots' but in reality they are psychopaths who want nothing but destruction. We ask our soldiers to capture and not kill enemy soldiers if possible. Minister of Defence Fernando Cortez gives a message to captured soldiers, that 'the country you believe in doesn't care for you or your families and why do you have to kill for them because in the end you will be slaves... You will be puppets in their game. We ask you to join us and fight for you believe in. Because in the end all of us are Brazilians and all of us are equal.' [Mod Response Needed].[Top Secret] We ask the US to Invade from Costa Rica and we will push through Brazil. We have sufficient Resources provided by other countries and The Federation cannot survive a 2 front war.[US Response needed]. We also ask our Recon team to strike as now is the time for the campaign to reach its critical point.[Mod Response Needed][Top secret]. We also plan bombing runs through the Supply lines of the Federation and ask our South American Allies Assistance in the form of military manpower.[Mod response needed]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We, along with Panama, begin preparations to invade Costa Rica.
 * Federal Brazilian Prisoners of War Committee: While we renounce our allegiance to the Federation, we refuse to fight against our former allies, and pledge to remain Prisoners of War until the war's end.
 * South American Group of the Atlantic Treaty Organisation: We will support Brazil in its endeavour as well. Good luck and fair winds to us all.

2075
''' With the Federation's first major incursion since the 2040s comes a wave of escaping immigrants. The Federation pushes into Free Panama as well as Occupied Nicaragua attempting to break into Panama from its Northern border. Immigrants from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic escape to Cuba and the United States as the war rages on, bombings going off day by day. '''

''' Hokkaido is largely cleared of the nanobotlia infection as the JSDF finally reaches Tomamu, the epicentre of the original outbreak. The JSDF stays behind to continue restoration efforts as well as to prevent further recurrences of the infection. At the same time, Russian Union efforts in Zabakalsky Krai allow the infection to be stopped quickly, although the nanobots spread unabated through Northeast China. '''

''' A beacon of hope lights in the war-torn world as the first man sets foot on Mars. Roger Wickland, Amelia Hastings, Vito Scaletta and Haruka Aosoi become the first people to set foot on a major body outside the Moon and Earth, sent by NASA and SpaceX in a joint mission to the planet. They will remain for a month before launching back home towards Earth on board the aptly named Beacon spacecraft, returning in early 2077. '''

''' Heckler & Koch release their prototype laser weapon to the public, called the H&K 75 Lasergewehr. The weapon is a slow-firing semi-automatic Enhanced Battle Rifle with a fast overheat and high energy usage, although that does not prevent speculation that widely-adopted laser weapons could come as soon as the next century. '''

On the precise anniversary of the movie's release, QHX uses their DeLorean to recreate the iconic time-travel scene from the movie as well as other stunts, gaining widespread attention. '''


 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The ACDC Project is progressing on schedule, with most of the necessary materials and workers in place for the construction phase, which is expected to last half a decade. Meanwhile, the project is advertised to investors and the general public, as well as foreign parties to secure further funding and tenants for when the project is completed. The Green Sahara Project continues, with major advancements seen along the western provinces as the Nouakchott and Sarahwi province desalination plants boot up to full capacity, converting 300 square kilometres of arable land. To prevent any major undesired ecological and environmental changes, large portions of the Sahara Desert are designated as environmental reserves. We also cordially invite Sudan into the AIDS, to show that both parties stand on the same side in the Central-African-Sudanese Conflict. [Mod Response] Ports in Algiers, Casablanca and Nouakchott are now open to international trade, however most other ports in the country remain open only to whitelisted nations, mainly AIDS members or other islamic nations.
 * Flag of Sudan.png Sudan: We accept the offer of our Maghrebi friends.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: Australia begins discussions with the nations of Micronesia, New Zealand and Nauru, seeking to create trade deals with these nations and the possibility of an oceanic alliance sometime in the future (Mod Response). Australia asks to purchase the H&K 75 (Mod Response).In South America, Australia sends 10,000 soldiers to Panama and 10,000 to Brazil. (Secret) The soldiers in Brazil begin an operation code named operation Sea Snake, 7000 soldiers attempt to quickly move along the coast of Fascist Brazil to French Guinea, trying while a further 8000 will be sent further inland to French Guinea setting up as many defensive positions as they can. If the operation is successful, we will have encircled a fairly large area in Fascist Brazil and will have it them off from the ocean (End Secret). As the situation in Japan seems to have cleared, Australia turns its sights to Northeastern China where Australian planes begin to use similar dive-bombing tactics to shut down as many of the nanobots as possible. Emu 500s are used in areas with particularly dense bots. Another 5000 young men and women sign up to join the military. The Agricultural Outback Initiative has reached Alice Springs, where a large lake is created near the town bringing a boost to the town’s economy. Australia’s Lunar Project is doing okay but the Manus Island Project has a few issues that push the expected completion date back quite a bit.
 * Micronesia, Flag of New Zealand.svg New Zealand and Flag of Nauru.svg Nauru: We propose the creation of the Oceanic Free Trade Zone, to better facilitate trade between both sides of the Pacific.
 * Heckler & Koch: We accept the Australian offer and will begin delivery of the weapon over the next few years.
 * Flag of Libya (VD).png Islamic Republic of Libya: After only a small year of relativity under the Farhat regime, citizens have taken to the street in defiance against it's general rule of nature and Islamic extremism that is reviving what some consider neo-Ba'athism. Within a period of days the situation turns deadly, as the People's Army fired shots at an unarmed crowd, with later discoveries that it was intentional and from General al-Farhat himself due to the protesting crowd's relativity to the government building. The Massacre of Tripoli, as it is called, sparks a full civil war as armed citizens start labeling themselves the Free Libyan Army and begin fighting for a more Islamic democratic state. By the end of the year, the Islamic Republic's government continues to control much of the territory in the west and around Tripoli, with her allies including small and more extremist Islamic sects that were revived during it's short tenure, while the Free Libyan Army calls for military support from Turkey and Egypt (Mod).
 * Flag of Turkey.png Turkey: We refuse to support the Free Libyan Army or the Libyan government and commit to a policy of relative neutrality.
 * Flag of Egypt.png Egypt: We begin supplying the Free Libyan army with aid.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: More troops are hurriedly rushed to Panama, where the bombing campaign from last year has likely left Costa Rican leadership strained. Using this to our advantage, we continue air strikes and KBing Costa Rica, as well as using A missiles, but we start an invasion from the south, at Panama's border with Costa Rica. We would like the results of this invasion. [Mod Response] We continue a careful retaking of Puerto Rico, and luckily, most Puerto Rican citizens have been evacuated to a relief center in Miami. We begin a blockade of Federation controlled ports in Puerto Rico, including Ponce, Salinas, and Guayama. We also continue a slow push into Federation territory, and carefully commence air strikes on confirmed Federation military targets in Puerto Rico (we REALLY don't want to bomb American citizens on accident). We expect to make serious gains in Puerto Rico due to these two new strategies. [Mod Response] Ground troops, as well as an armored division, is sent to the Dominican Republic, to clear out Federation scum. We ask Free Nicaragua if American troops can be stationed in the country in the possible case of attack by the Federation. [Mod Response] Hyperloop 1 is expanded to Columbus, as the fear and anger in the mainland US calms down, and life on the mainland returns basically back to normal. We also launch an amphibious invasion of the Galapagos Islands, considering its precarious situation, and its proximity to Ecuador, which could be useful in the future. Even though there is expected to be effectively zero resistance on the islands, its numerous wildlife may cause some difficulty for American troops. [Mod Response on status of invasion] Meanwhile, Togo is released as a democratic, secular state, albeit one part of ATO, with heavy American presence and influence, as well as millions from American investment into rebuilding efforts. Posters and flyers are dropped down in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities encouraging people to rise up against their oppression and terrible treatment, while American cyber experts focus on hacking into the Federation's specially designed "Internet" to introduce a virus given popups also encouraging people to rise up and stop the oppression of theirselves. We need to know the effectiveness of these measures. [Mod Response] NASA begins work on a moon lunar colony, completely automated, supervised by a few humans, as part of Project Droste. This "Base Alpha" is expected to be completed by 2079. ARC begins construction of Battle Star 3, specifically for Europe and supervised by French officials.
 * United States Air Force: We continue to bomb the region, and although Federation forces push into Panama, we have successfully decimated supply lines in and around Costa Rica with high casualties for the Federation. This comes at the price of major Federation-occupied Nicaraguan targets being able to set up multiple SAM systems, preventing any U.S aircraft from crossing through.
 * United States 1st Infantry Division: We've got them on the run! We've secured San Juan's close perimeter and with the 30th Armoured begin to push into Federation-held territory North of Caguas. Elsewhere the 19th Infantry is holding onto Caguas with the 103rd Airborne.
 * United States Navy: Fierce fighting is breaking out off Ponce and Salinas, with Federation naval forces desperately holding onto control of the ports. Unequivocally, we have not been able to destroy their lines, but we will continue to try.
 * U.S Galapagos Islands Task Force 120: We've taken the islands without much resistance. We have begun setting up makeshift ports and aircraft landing and takeoff strips to enable usage of the islands as a point of aircraft deployment.
 * U.S Cyber Forces: While we succeed in penetrating the Federation's intranet, as a result, the Federation appears to have banned the usage of the intranet while they continue to attempt to fix the issue. We have no idea if it will be effective.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: After civil war breaks out in neighboring Libya, we decide to intervene to safeguard crucial infrastructre integral to our interests. We send 10,000 troops to Libya to aid the Free Libyan Army in establishing a free democratic republic in Libya, as well as to safeguard newly-completed infrastructure there funded by Tunisia, such as the Gadamis hyperloop station, the only station on the Western African Hyperloop Line servicing Libya. Tunisian teoops in Puerto Rico also continue to assist the Americans. We also offer the newly-independent Togo membership in AIDS, an embassy, consulates, extension of the student program, and permission to build in their country [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. In politics, although newly-elected President Farid Zinadine has so far kept a cautious and moderate line (contrary to his campaign promises), his victory enables radical Islamist candidates to begin to be heard in the political landscape, with their latest victory being Sidi al-Fahad, newly elected as governor of the deeply-conservative Kebili Governorate, who is a Wahhabi fundamentalist who openly disregards women’s rights and gay rights, supports the reintroduction of stoning, and has been favorable to the killing of “infidels”. This has caused alarm to many in Tunisia, who fear that President Zinadine would enable the far right and religious right to gain power in the future, although many others disregard this fear as nothing more than “fearmongering”, citing the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, and how that amounted to nothing. In the Green Sahara project, the last 400 or so square kilometers are readied for planting, and efforts shift to planting trees and forests in the remaining space not designated for farming, to protect the newly-ripe land from deforestation, and to create a hard line between the remaining desert and the new farmland. The remaining desert area has been designated as the Grand Sahara Nature Reserve. Outsourcing of labor and technology for Green Sahara Project plans in Maghreb, Chad, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso (the Project in Libya has been halted for the time being due to war) picks up. With the major highways of the Maghreb and West Africa done, we now begin Phase 2 of the highway project, with lesser highways connecting lesser towns together beginning construction. The Western African Hyperloop is also completed all the way to Gao, in Maghreb Mali.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: The Ouagadougou Hyperloop Station continues construction, although several shops around the outside of the station open. Several smaller highways across the nation begin construction, and generic rail lines servicing many towns and cities across the nation begin construction. In politics, an unpopular bid by the Parti Nationale, the main opposition party, to kick Sangvis-Ferri out of Burkina Faso due to anti-trust laws as well as alleged worker abuse fails. Finally, we begin construction of the Grand Africana in Ouagadougou, a 574 meter tall mixed use tower, which will house a hotel, retstaurants, a bar, a shopping mall, office space, and appartments. It will be the tallest building in Africa upon completion in 2079.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the outbreak has successfully been stopped in Zabaykalsky Krai, the government continues to work with Mongolia and sending aid and support to fight against the outbreak. The government suggests to the Russian Union to aid Mongolia together so to not only help them out, but to prevent any further spread of the outbreak within member states. [Mod Response] Mongolia is also offered a general alliance as well. [Mod Response] Meanwhile elections are held, with Minako Ignatyev choosing not to seek re-election and instead retiring. Valentin Balakhnichev succeeds Minako Ignatyev as the leader of the United Far East Party and runs for election. Valentin Balakhnichev wins against his opponent Avgustin Danilin from the Yabloko Party, and the latter also losing ten seats in the House of Representatives; and Valentin Balakhnichev becomes President and Maria Komiya becomes Prime Minister. Reconstruction and aid continues in the State of Siberia as efforts continue to help them get back on their feet. The second season of Immortal Kosmos is aired, with Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage once again doing both the opening and ending themes for the show. The two new bands, Voyampolsky, Polyarnaya Zvezda, and their songs released so far are added in Artyom Inc.'s mobile game after an update. Two new highways, A362 and A363 are proposed with A362 going from Egvekinot to Yakutsk and A363 going from to, with A363 planned to connect with the already in construction A361 as A361 also is planned to go through Talovka. They are given approval near the end of the year, allowing for construction beginning next year.
 * Russian Union: We agree to the Eastern Russian proposal and immediately begin supplying Mongolia with humanitarian and military assistance.
 * Flag of Mongolia.png Mongolia: We accept Eastern Russia's offer of an alliance.
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: With the news of South American War began to revive the paranoia that our nation had many years thanks to brazen Federation attempts to invade Puerto Rico and our allies of ATO itself. The newly-elected German Chancellor Juncker “Junko” Lutjens (Yeah, I’ve been in abscence yesterday - Burgundy) have denounced Federation’s action as an “witness to increasing delusional Federation’s state-of-mind itself”, but had no plans of joining the wsr itself. [SECRET]However, the Chancellor Junko have launched multiple meetings between his cabinet and generals of the Bundeshwer on whether or not, join the South American War itself and help the Americans trying to push the Feds out of Puerto Rico itself and plans on creating an Bundeswehr International Korps group known as Südamerika Korps in-case we decided to join the war itself[END OF SECRET]. Meanwhile, construction of our Phase 1 of the “Unified Autobahn” is still ongoing and plans of our Hyper-Loop systems is still ongoing. With the creation of first lazer-oriented weapon known as Heckler & Koch 75 became an instant hit around the world, the Bundeswehr decided to refined this new weaponry to make-it more reliable for its users and plans for its upgraded variants have been laid-out. After years of reigning-popularity, the Nat-Pop music genre have slowly dying-out thanks to oversaturation, badly-reviewed albums of using that genre and more. Although the Nat-Pop music genre have begun to dying-out like an disco, the two banned fascist songs (Erika and Panzerlied) that aren’t fascist enough to be well-liked by all of our citizen has finally taken-off by the ban list, and they are finally may listened to that kind of song itself. [SECRET]After years of research and creation, our Erika A.I project has finally completed and all those who are participated in this project are celebrated in its labs. We may finally use of our Erika A.I program to the Bundeswehr military systems first before we released it to the world itself. Newly-produced T-Dolls (renamed A-Dolls for civilian use) have begun injecting our A.I system to their “brains”, training their skills of what kind of job they will use and send them-off to the country known as The Philippines to help modernize their capital city, acquire jobs in that country as well as helping people to understand that the A-Dolls itself that they are also human itself. Sangvis Ferri T/A-Doll factory has opened-up in Tacloban City as part of our Filipino-German friendship programme just as they are shocked of attempted campaign (and failed, fortunately) to pull them-out by the Burkina Faso opposition party Parti Nationale of the country itself. Fearing that would produce scrutiny in Reformed Burkina Faso - and eventually the whole world - about their company and its “actions” against them, Sangvis Ferri executives launced an secretive assassination project known as Project Butterfly Effect to every Parti Nationale members in Reformed Burkina Faso as we keeping-them-quiet about their activities through kidnapping-and-executing PN members itself. Sangvis Ferri Private Military Branch have heightened security all-over factories in Reformed Burkina Faso after they recieved a batch of HK-75 to use against the would-be protesters in the factory’s premises[END OF SECRET].


 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil: We push through Federation Defenses and now target the Weapons Stockpiles and Supply lines of the Federation. We ask our South American allies to Organise together and start an offensive against the Federation thus forming a three front war from which they'll never recover from.[Mod Response Needed].[Top Secret] We ask our Recon team to start Destabilising the Federation from the inside so they'll be crippled Economically and Militarily. We expect a response.[Mod Response Needed][Top Secret]. We are indeed shocked by the unprovoked invasion of the Federation against other Countries.
 * SAGATO: We're already at the ready and fighting. We will continue to fight out of Chile and through Occupied Bolivia and Brazil.
 * Brazilian Special Operations Command: While we will begin acts of sabotage within the Federation, we have no way of enacting widespread rebellion as of yet. We will continue to expand our reach and destabilise the Federation.

2076
''' The 2076 Olympics, held in South Africa, is seen as a sign of uneasy peace in times of strife as the event goes largely peacefully, with little to no fights or brawls during the competition. This results in what ultimately is seen as a moment of heralding in such a bloody world. '''

''' At the same time, riding off their achievement the previous year, SpaceX reveals plans to produce the ICR - 'Inexpensive Civilian Rocket' - attempting to reduce the price of all spacecraft and rockets, even that of the reusable Falcon Heavy Boosters that the company monopolises, by utilising a recently declassified blueprint by the U.S Air Force to create a cheaper rocket. It boasts of being able to build and fuel rockets for as little as 250,000, comparably little to the standard 40 million that the U.S government typically pays to launch a military satellite. Whether this is achievable remains to be seen. '''

''' Protests break out in Northeast China, complaining of the government's poor response to the nanobotlia crisis in Beijing and Hebei, further throwing the weakened nation into chaos. The country puts itself under martial law, closing off all borders for good and beginning what appears to be a period of descent into authoritarian rule. '''

''' After 37 years, the world's longest-leading leader is finally thrown out of power. Rising tensions in Turkey amidst corruption scandal after corruption scandal finally allow the Turkish population to vote out the Erdogan administration, making it a hopeful moment for the country as the incoming administration, that of Ekrem Aksoy, promises to reverse Erdogan and his parents' legacies. Millions of Turks celebrate in Ankara, chanting, 'He is gone! He is removed! Our revolution is vindicated!'. '''


 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia:Prime Minister McKelly wins the election for a second time, the Centrist party wins 96 seats, the Libertarian party wins 50 and minor parties take the remaining 4. Australia begins to integrate the H&K 75s into their infantry, with 3% of infantry using them by the end of this year. 10,000 soldiers are sent to Brazil and 5000 to Panama/Costa Rica. 4000 soldiers reinforce those in operation sea snake (Mod Response). 50 Norman tanks are sent to South America. Australia begins construction on 4 state of the art battleships and an aircraft carrier, these should be finished in 2080-2081. Australian scientists begin research on cellular regeneration, this will allow the worst of injuries to be fixed relatively quickly (Mod Response). The Agricultural Outback Initiative brings water into Northern WA, most of Northern Territory is connected. As the project on Manus Island struggles to get back on track, the Umboi Island Military Base begins construction, when completed in 2079 it will have a port, airfield and barracks for 5000 men if absolutely necessary. (Secret) Perth, Darwin, Canberra and Adelaide all now have missile protection and it is decided that most major military targets are close enough to cities that they are protected by that cities sheild to be safe. Cairns, Kalgoorlie, Hobart and Alice Springs are all that remain. (End Secret).
 * Australian Armed Forces: We continue to reinforce American and Panaman lines in the region.
 * Australian Scientific Organisation: We have begun research on cellular regeneration, although we find that it will be long before results become true.
 * 2Flag of Libya (VD).png Transitional Libyan Government: With a large enough support, the Free Libyan Army is able to take most of Cyrenaica and the southern territory, however, after the army reaches the city of Sawknah, stalemate occurs, and the Siege of Sawknah continues on until the end of the year, with many flanking movements and traditional ways of breaking stalemate not working as supposed.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Construction efforts are located to Hokkaido, due to British and Australian efforts of aerial combat. The elections were postponed after a year, and the elections begin this year. The Constitutional Democratic Party gains 264 seats, which connotes that the Constitutional Democratic Party wins the 2076 Japanese general election. Meanwhile, the American government was condemned by many Japanese politicians for the capturing of Taichi Kudo in Honolulu. The government demands the Americans to return Taichi Kudo back to Japan, and to explain the reasoning behind this [American Response]. His kids were sent back to Japan under foster homes, while the father gets captured for a unknown reason. Main theories go around, stating that Taichi Kudo was behind the secret Japanese-Chinese project that was concurred in 2064. WIP
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We ask the brazen Japanese officials to calm down, and that not only is Taichi Kudo an American citizen, he was recently captured by American officials after an escape, so there is absolutely no way we are sending him to Japan, for no reason other than "his kids were sent there". He is also under house arrest.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The first major legislative victory for the Conservatives, due to many parties in the Center Choice Coalition, such as the Libertarian Party and Alliance for National Well-Being choosing to align themselves with the Conservatives, is the Tunisian Tax Overhaul, which cuts many taxes, including reducing the corporate tax to 25%, the income tax to 20%, and the property tax to 22%. These tax cuts are meant to let the people keep more money to themselves, however; the main political issue is that opposers argue that, although this policy would benefit lower and middle class individuals, the rich would get the highest percent bonus from the new tax cuts. Meanwhile, we begin proposing a joint AIDS Space Program [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED], and we also try enticing SpaceX to set up a regional headquarters in Tunisia, offering them a large plot of tax-free land in newly-greened land near Tataouine, over which they would have no building restrictions and the ability to build almost anything there, as well as offering them reduced tax rates [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Troops in Puerto Rico continue to aid the Americans, and troops stationed in Libya are still guarding infrastructure in their country funded by us for the most part, however, a small contingent of 8,000 troops is given the go-ahead to assist the Free Libyan Army in their endeavors. Several mid-size towns are built from scratch in the newly-arable land reclaimed from the Sahara; house prices here are artificially lowered for a while in order to entice people into moving into these new towns. Planting of trees in order to hold down the soil and prevent the spread of desert continues as well. Funding and construction of highways in the greater North and West African region continues, as well as the Western African Hyperloop, which is now fully complete all the way to Ouagadougou. We also begin research into fusion energy, with plans to create a fusion power plant sometime in the near future. Finally, the assassinations of 4 members of the Burkinabe National Assembly, as well as the attempted assassinations of 7 others, are recognized as a threat to newfound democracy in Burkina Faso, and we warn whoever responsible for the attacks to cease their actions or else we will have to intervene to preserve democratic rule in the country.
 * SpaceX: We appreciate the Tunisian offer, but... maybe later. We like it here in the States.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We agree to begin a regional space program.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: The assassination of 4 prominent National Assemblymen, as well as the attempted murder of 7 others, causes the largest controversy in the fledgling nation’s history up until now, as those murders were conducted along party lines, with all 11 targeted politicians being members of the Parti Nationale. This, included with a heavily delayed government response and muddled investigation that has, as of yet, found no leads, has invited a lot of speculation on the matter, and many have come to believe that the assassinations were ordered by President Pierre Kebi, or one of his cronies. This has caused public outcry against the current administration, with many marching in the streets of Ouagadougou calling for the President to resign. However, President Kebi stated his innocence many times, and refuses to back down on the allegations of political fraud. Meanwhile, construction of the A231 highway, connecting the main towns of eastern Burkina Faso, begins, and the Western African Hyperloop line is extended up to Ouagadougou, and the new station is opened, designed in a modernist style, fitted with rooftop and indoor gardens and sprunning off solar power, and equipped with many shops and restaurants as well as free high-speed WiFi access. Several normal railway lines are also built, linking several towns and cities with the general rail system. A law is also instituted banning littering, with it punishable by a fine of 2500 credits (roughly 2019 US$250). The Ouagadougou Metro is also expanded to include some of the inner suburbs, and slum clearance and urban renewal programs across the nation continue, with slum dwellers in urban centers nationwide rehoused in RE housing blocks. Construction on the Grand Africana building continues. With help from Tunisia, the portion of desert in far northern Burkina Faso continues to be replaced by farmland, and forests are planted to make the Sahel a barrier from desertification.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We accept the proposal, and offer plots of land to be used in construction for the space program.
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: After much needed deliberation inside the Chancellor’s cabinet, we finally declare war against the Federation for the reasons of restarting the South America War itself as well as invading Puerto Rico itself. We formed the Südaamerika Korps that comprised of 150,000 soldiers (in paper), but for now we decided to send 15,000 German troops in ATO-aligned Brazilian territory to help them escape from the stalemate of the war itself. Construction of the Phase 1 of our “Unified Autobahn” is still ongoing and the plan of builiding our own Hyper-Loop is still on-going. Heckler & Koch 75 have begun its mass-production as we begun replacing our mid-21st century weapons in our storage. This would take some time though to replace it completely with HK-75 itself. [SECRET]Integration of our Erika A.I program to our Bundeswehr systems is still ongoing. After seeing the success of our A-Doll usage in The Philippines - and currently spreading to the South-East Region itself - we began producing the first-batch of T-Dolls (the military version of the A-Dolls) for the Bundeswehr itself and we expect for more than 4,000 T-Dolls to be produced by next year. Meanwhile, seeing the success of Project Butterfly Effect, Sangvis Ferri executives were overjoyed of the Parti Nationale destruction itself in Reformed Burkina Faso. But they are still aware that the party was still active as of the moment, so they decided to launch an “decapition strike” operation known as Operation Mami Tomoe by sending three elite squads of the Sangvis Ferri Private Military Branch to the home of Parti Nationale leader to kill him - and his whole family before burning his home - as well as ransacking an police station that holds some files about their Project Butterfly Effect, stealing it before massacring all of the people - policeman or not in the police station itself before burning it down to the ground. Sangvis factories in Reformed Burkina Faso have tightened security and handing every SF Private Military Branch soldiers an HK-75 to their hands. IOP Manufacturing maintenance facilities have established in The Philippines in order to handle every A-Dolls, as well as handling emotional issues suffered at their hands of some of their employers. The research on “Etching Theory” is now finished, and we finally heading to the development of the theory itself[END OF SECRET].


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: Aid and support continues for Mongolia to deal with the outbreak; and to Siberia for reconstruction and regaining stability. Both A362 and A363 begin construction this year, and A361 now reaches all the way to . The old A361, which originally went from the end of A360 in to  (which also extended further into China until the border closed long ago, and axing the highway to end at Dzhalinda), is renamed to A359. Construction on the A361 from around Yelizovo also begins, which will branch off from A401 that is close to the Elisovo Airport.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil:This War is heading into a long and bloody stalemate. The Federation should be stretched to their limits by now as they're literally fighting a Three front war. Our Soldiers Morale are weakening day by day and we need to find a way to break past the Defenses. Out of desperation we give everything we've got into the war as an all out attack against the Federation. The forces of the Federation should be scattered trying to defend a three front war so we should be successful.[Mod Response Needed]. We ask Our South American allies to accept Some refugees Temporarily at least until the war is over.[Mod Response Needed]. [Top Secret] Out of desperation we have created a special ops for Assassination purposes. Codenamed "Ghosts" they are the most Elite Soldiers ever to have served our country. Consisting of Hackers, Sharpshooters, and pretty much all of the specialists in each class are selected. This team consists of 25 members and will be used for Assassination purposes. Their first mission is to locate and assassinate High Ranking Generals of The Federation Army. However since the members haven't worked as a team yet they'll be trained and battle ready by next year.[Top Secret]
 * Atlantic Treaty Organisation.png SAGATO: We agree to accept South American refugees for the time being from Federation-controlled territory.
 * Amazonian Mafia: It's your lucky day, my friend... We'll help you out. We've joined up with several resistance groups in key points along the Amazon Basin and are ready to strike at Federation forces on your command.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The British military makes some announcements. Preliminary live fire tests last year in the war against the Federation have proven the worthiness of directed energy demolition artillery pieces. As known world wide, the British Army has already been using sonic artillery for a while now, and will continue to do so as it is far cheaper and sufficiently effective (standard models can demolish brick walls fairly easily, and can overturn tanks). That being said, the more expensive directed energy cannons are used sparingly as powerful, armour-piercing anti-vehicle devices. At the same time, a variant of the cannon is used as a fixed-position high altitude anti-aircraft turret around military bases. Sonic cannon turrets are used to tackle low-altitude aircraft and drones as the concentrated sound tends to dissipate quite rapidly over long distances due to wind. This same effect also prevents sonic sniper weapons but a sonic handgun and a sonic SMG is under development. Unfortunately, it would appear ARs cannot be sonic either as they are also too long-distance for sound to be sufficiently effective. Having said that, the British military has developed its own directed energy sniper rifle based off of internal research as well as a reverse-engineering of the H&K rifle. This however, is only used experimentally in live combat as it is not sufficiently demanded by troops to warrant the cost of mass production as of now (aka, regular sniper rifles work fine so I'm gonna save on costs for now). A directed energy AR is also being worked on though this is in even earlier stages of development. On the civilian side of things, a new private venture by British billionaire Harry White (think Elon Musk but British) sees the construction of vast floating seaweed farms in the North Sea. The intention is to 'create the vegetable of the Future' and he may well succeed. Seaweed is the fastest growing edible plant/algae in the world and can reach 100m in length in just 2 months. At the same time, his equally eccentric brother Gordon White has begun an endeavour to turn most of Northern Scotland (roughly desolate grasslands) into massive vertical farming parks, with the intention to 'reinvigorate the vegetable of the Past'. We will see who succeeds if not both.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We continue construction in Aoudaghost as well as the sale of real estate within the city to the population at a lower price that will be eventually raised as the city is completed in roughly 7 years time. Plans for a superhighway between Aoudaghost and major coastal cities are tabled, in which systems similar to the underground highway systems in the United States pioneered decades ago. Construction would begin in 2080, and we hope to get Tunisia on board with this plan by announcing another superhighway directly connecting Algiers and Aoudaghost with Tunis. [Tunisian Response] After years of innovation, the nation is proud to announce its newest and original weapons design, the AL-14. A more reliable weapon compared to existing products, and can be mass produced with ease.

2077
''' The Western Russian military unveils a prototype weapon at the yearly United Arab Emirati Arms Show. The weapon, the 'New Generation Kalishnikov', NPK-76, appears to be a directed energy weapon based on the AKM. Among other things, the WRAF showcases the weapon's capabilities, from withholding 55 shots inside its small 'charge-magazine' to having a relatively low overheat for such a new weapon; however, the weapon is still incapable in combat. With an over 15 second recharge time and lack of easily available energy sources, the weapon still appears to be years from seeing widespread use. '''

''' On the civilian side of things, Joanna Rainman makes good on her boast. SpaceX successfully launches the cheapest orbit-capable rocket, the ICR, at a cost of $450,000AMR (Ameros). The rocket, fuel-efficient and still multi-use, is set to revolutionise space travel and ventures to the rest of the Solar System and beyond. At the same time, the Mars mission arrives back on Earth to much fanfare. '''

''' President of Arabia John Abbad Muhammad receives the official surrender of the former House of Saud from its only remaining free member, Amalia Said. Her symbolic surrender and handover of power marks the final end to the green banner which the country once flew as a sign of pride. Said moves back to Riyadh, where she is greeted as a kind of celebrity for her status as the only transgender member of the former House of Saud, and the only one to renounce and denounce the family. '''

''' The Northeast Chinese government finally collapses into pieces. Mass infection by nanobots causes the country to fall into anarchy, bringing the infection to the borders of the Eastern Russian Republic while survivors desperately clamour for help in major areas across the former country. The Shanghai Confederation and the newly made Democratic Chinese Alliance, consisting of Western China, Democratic South China and Shaanxi, all close off their borders to the former 'People's Republic of China', bringing an end to the country conceived more than a century ago. '''


 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian recruitment campaigns have limited success with 3500 recruits this year. However with Northeastern China collapsed the majority of troops are withdrawn from Southern China, if the peace continues then the remaining 4000 troops will be withdrawn. In South America Australia continues to help Brazil in the south but begins to coordinate more carefully in Panama, hoping that with 3 fronts the federation will soon collapse. Australia starts to reverse engineer the sonic and laser weaponry purchased from the UK and Germany, though the sonic artillery and laser rifles that were bought are used in South America to excellent results. (Secret) the project to protect Australia from missiles is completed with Alice Springs, Kalgoorlie and Hobart all protected (End Secret). In Australia’s southeast a corporation called Mosley Computing tests a new processor that will hopefully allow a non-sentient program to react and plan faster than a sentient human (Mod Response). The Agricultural Outback Initiative is finally complete, with water being brought across the entire Australian continent to southwestern Australia. In diplomacy, seeing how well the nanobot crisis was dealt with, Australia seeks a defence and military pact with the UK (Player Response).
 * Mosley Computing: It was kinda a success? Beats me. We don't know if it really succeeded or not considering that nothing much changed and the test subjects didn't react with each other much. Further testing will have to continue.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Following delays, our EMP, Moksha, is finally completed. With the situation in Northeast China finally reaching doomsday level, as we deem it. We launch it straight into the heart of Beijing. May its people finally regain freedom. [Mod Response Needed] But before that, we begin building another 4, set to be finished by 2081. ITS A SECRET: Our AI is finished, it goes online. Somewhat earlier than projections have it. We do not know how to continue. Secret ISRO announces a plan to land a man on Mars by 2082, a little under 60 years after we launched our first man into space. But this man won't be alone, he will be joined by 99 others in establishing India's first Martian base, Gandhi (after the great man who helped us gain our freedom from the British oppressors). By the end of 2078, ISRO plans a set of ships to begin the workings of this base.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: Well... your nuclear weapon destroyed all electronics in and around Northeast China. That includes parts of North Korea, parts of Kyushu, as well as the entire Northern Shanghai Confederation. We hope you know what ramifications this holds.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The DoD begins work on the JUPITER, a short range direct energy weapon. It is still a prototype, and while small, it appears effective for short range combat. An "EMP weapon" is conceived, using a short burst of electromagnetic energy to render some electronic devices useless. It, while somewhat heavy, bulky, and cumbersome, has potential in the war against the Federation. The LRAD Corporation begins work on new sonic weapon, on a contract from the Department of Defense. Some low level sonic weapons are placed in New York City during an anti-war protest, with police fearing it may get violent. While the sonic weapons caused no serious or permanent harm, it did disrupt many protests enough to force them to leave the area. In Puerto Rico, we continue our assault on Federation forces in Caguas, while establishing the San Juan Safezone, protected by several companies of American infantry. In Carolina, we begin to eliminate pockets of Federation resistance. American soldiers proudly burning the Federation flag as the American one is hoisted up in its place quickly becomes viral, and serves an important propaganda technique. The Battle Stars continue strikes against Federation cities, as we begin a push into Costa Rica, with Panaminian Forces, and considering the crippled Costa Rican leadership and military, we want to know the results of the invasion, hoping to reach San Jose. [Mod Response] Lunar Base Penrose, as part of Project Droste, is conceived, and is meant to be a mining facility and 100% automated, with some supervision. NASA says that while SpaceX's rockets may be much cheaper, the US government prefers to use more expensive materials and building processes. The Colorado X1 is launched into space, its final destination is the moon. It has some astronauts and some lunar robots and equipment, to start Penrose. The Mississippi and Columbia rockets are slated to launch in 2079, if nothing goes wrong. We continue using BS1 to bombard military bases in Venezuela to cripple the Federation. While the Federation is off guard, fighting in Puerto Rico, Panama, and Costa Rica, a surprise attack is planned by the DoD. It will be executed next year. Sims begin to be picked up by private corporations again, and become popular domestically, even with widespread hesitation of sentient programming by most people worldwide. BS3 nears completion, as several final parts begin to be built.
 * United States Armed Forces: We've taken back San Jose and 're mopping up the Federation stragglers around the area.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the infection reaching the borders; the government orders evacuation of all cities and towns within ten kilometres of the border, and the Chinese border continues to be heavily guarded, though now has an increased national guard presence ready to combat it in case it does spread over. The government increases the budget of the military by one percent; and continues working with other member states on the EMPs. Aid and military support for Mongolia continues, with a planned advancement against the outbreak being made. Aid and reconstruction continues in Siberia despite the current situation. The government proposes to West Russia of a possible referendum for the State of Siberia, which would be set in either 2080 or 2081, in a vote of whether to remain independent, or join either West or East Russia. [Mod Response] The two new casinos in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are officially opened for business, as is one of the three in Vladivostok. The first season centred around Golden Stage side of Hundred Stars Pro is aired; while Artyom Inc. releases a third season that is centred around the two new bands Voyampolsky and Polyarnaya Zvezda, with the three other bands also making appearances as well.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Da. We agree to hold referendum for Siberia.
 * Flag of Germany.png Germany:The situation in this country is perfectly normal despite world’s events suggest otherwise. We are overjoyed to the end of years-long of Arabia Civil War itself, and we immediately offered them economic assistance to their war-torn nation to help regain back to its feet[Mod response needed]. Construction on Phase 1 of our “Unified Autobahn” is still ongoing and a blueprints for own Hyper-Loop system that will connect Berlin to Hamburg to Munich and to Frankfurt has been finished but the start of the construction date itself is unknown to this time. We send additional 12,000 Südaamerika Korps and important supplies to Brazil just as the HK-75 have slowly began to earn its reputation by our soldiers as an semi-heavy and unreliable weapon to use in combat against the Federation soldiers. Heckler & Koch have heard their compliants and they immediately began designing new HK-75 variants that are reliable, slightly lighter and - of course - cheap right-away. An prototype for our new Leopard 4 has released to the public itself and the tests of that new MBT will be began before heading off to the production line. After years of hiding our own A.I program, German Chancellor Juncker “Junko” Lutjens have announced in an Munich 2077 Science Convention of the existence of our own A.I program known as Erika and our own line of androids known as the A-Dolls(for civilian) and the T-Dolls(for military) just us we activated the first batch of 4,000 T-Dolls that will served in the Bundeswehr, but will not gonna send them to the frontlines in South America unless the Project Erika’s director said-so. Due to the controversies surrounding the company itself in Reformed Burkina Faso, Sangvis Ferri have announced to the public in Reformed Burkina Faso that all of the factories and its warehouses owned by them will be indefinitely closed and its operations in Reformed Burkina Faso will be shut-down and transfer it to the occupation zones of the former Lower Islamic Union itself. The usage of A-Dolls as an independent work-force have became popular in the Philippines, as well as neighboring countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, just as we began delivering the first-batch of A-Dolls to the local companies in Austraila and New Zealand itself. Reports of sexual harassment between the human employers and the A-Dolls - in which all of the A-Dolls produced are female as part of the design - has been recorded regularly by the IOP Manufacturing itself in which they launched an anti-harassment and seld-defense programs for the A-Dolls workers as well emotional debriefing centers for the A-Dolls who are victims of sexual harassment itself. An anti-EMP shielding program has been introduced to the newly produced and currently used A-Dolls by the IOP Manufacturing itself in case some nations accidentally launched an EMP bomb itself.
 * Bbc-logo-black-and-white.png BBC: Reports coming in about alleged abuses of power by the up and coming company, Sangvis Ferri. The Sri Lankan government alleges that the company conspired to, quote, 'destroy Burkinabe opposition to its presence in Burkina Faso'. At the same time, the Vietnamese government has begun a government recall of all 43,000 A-Dolls sold in the country, with similar allegations against the company. What does this mean for the future of Sangvis Ferri?
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The riot police officially replaces all rubber bullet rifles with non-lethal sonic weapons that cause mild pain and do not have lasting effects. Sound grenades and mounted loudspeakers also enter service. Meanwhile, the military continues development of sonic and directed energy weapons. Elsewhere, Harry White's seaweed has begun to enter the market in many novel forms including raw, dried, salted, and ground; it is also sold to many manufacturers wholesale for other uses such as toothpaste and flavourings manufacturing. The British government announces a massive deregulation of the British Space industry in a bid to attract private space companies [Mod Response]. At the same time, the British Space Agency is dissolved and replaced by the British Space Authority, an organisation that regulates, overseas, and encourages space-related activities under UK jurisdiction. National space-related projects are handled by The Authority as well (in the same way the Ministry of Transportation might handle transportation) while significant portions of the military's presence in space is handed over the the Air Force. [Secret] There is talk of a possible Space Force though this thought is distant and the Air Force handles military space operations for the foreseeable future. [/Secret] Last but not least, the British government makes an offer to East Russia: 2 Billion pounds of aid to construct a massive 100m-wide barbed wire and trench field (think WW1) along the border with Mongolia to prevent the spread of the nanobotlia infection, or at least to aid in the patrol of the border. [Player Response]

May 2077
''' German company Sangvis Ferri is put under international scrutiny following revelations from the Sri Lankan and Vietnamese governments that the company was responsible for political assassinations against the Burkinabe Parti Nationale. Allegations that the German government was complicit in this follow, but what is worse is that the Vietnamese authorities immediately begin a forced recall of the A-Dolls within its country, revealing thousands missing, likely smuggled into the black market. Reports that the A-Dolls were being used for, among other things, prostitution, attempted assassinations, and replication of real humans, continue to flood into the news; whereas similar reports also begin to notice several hundred A-Dolls acting in a deviant manner. Whatever this is to mean remains to be seen; but one thing is clear: Sangvis Ferri is over. '''
 * Philippines: We recall most of our A-Dolls that we received from Sangvis Ferri, and keep a minimal amount for several purposes. Meanwhile, the Filipino News Group is created, becoming the state news channel of the country. It starts broadcasting on May 15, 2077.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: With the election of Chandra Nehru, India condemns Germany's use of A-Dolls, and places hard sanctions on the country. With scandal within Germany, Nehru uses this time to condemn the ongoing discrimination against Buddhists in Indonesia. We also place sanctions on almost every trade good in Indonesia and call for fellow AEAN states with large Buddhist populations (South Vietnam, Thailand, Free Myanmar, Cambodia) to do the same. [Mod Response Needed]
 * AEAN Conference: We frown upon the Indian administration's move to almost embargo a member of this alliance. While certain member states share their outrage at the alleged discrimination, such strong actions should not be taken against events that have not been fully confirmed. However, a good portion of our member states have placed sanctions on certain goods to pressure the Indonesian government to come clean about the whole situation.
 * Flag of Italy.svg Italian Republic: This year marks the beginning of a new era for Italy. For example in politics or his last months have been rich in novelty, first by the revival of the Italian Socialist Party. The latter has put more forward his patriotic side even nationalist for some and abandoned his alliance with the Star Movement for a new with the Lega party. With this program very popular in the South but also in the North, the ISP (Italian Socialist Party) won the election with 43% of the vote. With the Lega he begins a series of reforms on 3 axis. The first axis is the revolaristation of purchasing power. Taxes on first-class products are down, but luxury goods taxes are up. The tax on wealth also increases for the richest but is reduced for the poorest. More stringent controls are put in place to combat tax evasion. The second axis is the modernization of the country and the establishment of a public Hyperloop network. 100 Hospitals and 160 schools are built in the poorest regions, especially in the South. A . National Hyperloop network is built 3 line connecting the main cities (Naples, Milan, Turin) in Rome is built. The work should be finished in 2082. The 3rd axis is the remilistarization of the country in the face of the foreign threat. 12,000 men are recruited and a short military service of 4 months is created. We also propose to send 7,000 men to the Lybian Transitional Government to help it fight the Islamist guerrillas.


 * Flag of Germany.png Germany: (This is the extension of my 2077 turn - Burgundy). News about the illegal activities by the Sangvis Ferri in Reformed Burkina Faso a month after the company announced its withdrawal from that country as well as ethical issues over the usage of our A-Dolls has made waves in our country and sparked massive debate that whether the usage of A-Doll was very acceptable or not. Despite the accusations that the German Government is “directly involved” to the Sangvis Ferri ‘neo-colonial’ style of activities in Reformed Burkina Faso itself, the German Chancellor Juncker “Junko” Lutjens have released a statement regarding the Sangvis Ferri connections to our nation’s government itself, which states that:”We aren’t aware of the illegal activities by the Sangvis Ferri first-hand and we condemned their atrocious and unlawful activities in that independent country known as Reformed Burkina Faso. We didn’t sanctioned those kind of activities that Sangvis Ferri created, and the Sangvis themselves will gonna for what they did in that poor nation...”. With their illegal activities became well-known around the world, their CEO was found dead - probably as a result of suicide - and as well as some of their T/A-Doll factories and its storage-house that were constructed in Austraila and in Tacloban City, The Philippines we’re finally acquired by the IOP Manufacturing itself after successfully winning an lawsuit that they filed against the Sangvis Ferri over monopolistic policies as well as blantant skirting of German anti-trust laws since 2074, Sangvis Ferri have declared themselves as an bankrupt company and was shut-down along with its infamous Sangvis Ferri Private Military Branch that they surrendered its plethora of arms to the Bundeswehr as well as shutting-down most of their T/A-Doll factories and storage houses in Africa. The downfall of Sangvis Ferri causes small-time companies that are interested at A-Doll through maintenance as well as parts manufacturing have begun to sprung-off in our country just as IOP Manufacturing announces that they will restructuring its foundation of their company in order to prevent from becoming another Sangvis Ferri company and prosper to small-time A-Doll maintenance/parts companies to help re-build the soiled reputation of the A-Dolls through constant maintenance programmes, teaching the A-Doll work-force an important and valuable lessons on preventing on becoming an worker for humanity’s “dark jobs” and turning into an deviant itself, launching an program of converting themselves into an T-Doll soldier for the Bundeswehr (if they want to), establishing IOP’s Emotional Debriefing Centers for those who had issues in their emotions and more. As a result of the controversy, the development of our beloved “Etching Theory” has begun to speed-up of its development process just as we began an open forum about the “Etching Theory” to the public in every countries around the world. Despite the controversies surrounding the A-Dolls itself, the issue on the usage of T-Dolls in our Bundeswehr is non-existant thanks to continued observance by the Bundeswehr officers, instant response time by the IOP technicians for those T-Dolls who had an deviance in their programms and many more. As an response of an sudden sanctions placed by India, the Federal Foreign Office have released a statement about the India’s sanctions against us stating that: “Republic of India has unlawfully sanctioned us for no good reason than a simple controversy about the issue of A-Dolls itself. We respectfully asked India to stand-down the sanctions against us in order to prevent an discord and crisis between our nations that the world itself had bear enoughof the current war against the Federation as well as continuing Nanobot Crisis in East Asia[India Player response GREATLY needed on this resolution].” Despite the controversy surrounding the A-Dolls itself, the IOP Manufacturing’s current CEO Persica Lyons still believes that the issue itself was just an speed-bump for an better usage of the A-Dolls itself...


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government condemns Sangvis Ferri and the German government for letting a corporation's shady actions slip by. All German tech companies are banned in the nation, especially ones that creates AI/robots. As the nation looks to import more French, Korean, West Russian (especially ) and American vehicles, France, Korea, West Russia, and the US are offered a trade agreement [Player/Mod Response]; and halts the imports of any more German vehicles. Voyampolsky releases a cover version of Simma Hem from the game Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, which becomes a top 20 hit in the nation.
 * Flag_of_Reunified_Korea.png Republic of Korea: We accept the trade deal and look forward to doing business with the Eastern Russian Republic.
 * Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: Da. We accept the deal on imports and exports of Western Russian vehicles.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: National outrage is incited with the Sangvis-Ferri scandal in Burkina Faso, as many imply this as a direct threat to the Tunisian sphere of influence in West Africa. Sangvis-Ferri, as well as all its subsidaries, is kicked out from Tunisia, with the T/A-Dolls mostly deported back to Germany, although a few hundred remain in Tunisia for questioning and study. [SECRET] We hope to repurpose the T-Dolls and A-Dolls for our own purposes, namely in replacing humans in the military, “undesired” jobs that produce low pay, and boring, menial jobs in the manufacturing sector [END SECRET]. Troops in Libya continue to guard vested Tunisian interests in the region, and troops in Puerto Rico continue to assist our American allies. The Green Sahara Project in Tunisia is close to finished, with a little more planting of trees to be done, while making the newly-habitable land desirable and managing the little desert left as a nature reserve, and attention mainly turns to assisting our counterparts across North and West Africa in their endeavors. With Tunis-Carthage Airport being unable to expand and at full capacity, plans for a new airport in the outskirts of Tunis, Habib Bourguiba Airport, are being developed, with it being serviced by the A1 highway, a dedicated train line, and its own hyperloop station. Several renovations of train lines and stations are also being carried out. In politics, the Conservatives introduce a law calling for the matter of legalization od homosexuality to be decided by the governorates rather than the federal government, unsuprisingly, that law is shot down, with the vote strongly along coalition borders. We also begin the transition into a unified AIDS currency, with the first batch of AIDS credits being printed. Starting from 22 August 2077, both AIDS credits and Tunisian dinars are legal tender until the same date in 2087. In pop culture, a new genre of music, T-Pop, combines traditional North African music styles with EDM beats, with a slight touch of trap music as well. These songs can be found in both Arabic and English. Several T-Pop songs have started to gain traction in the West, with “Sunset over Tunis” by Carthago Delenda Est reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in November 2077. Finally, due to global cooling, several cities in the inland northwestern regions of Tunisia, such as El Kef and Kasserine, have begun seeing large amounts of snow each winter, prompting the first ski resort in Tunisia to open in December 2077. This heralds as a milestone not only in the Tunisian tourist industry, but in the field of climatology, as for the first time, some scientists hypothesize that we are slipping back into a glacial period, or ice age.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: We demand answers from the German government about the Sangvis-Ferri debacle, and if they are in any way related to the company in any form [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. The National Assembly almost unanimously votes for kicking Sangvis-Ferri out of the country, as well as restricting the powers of corporate entities in Burkina Faso to prevent another incident like this ever happening again. However, we let all remaining A-Dolls in the country stay in the country, and grant citizenship to them as long as they are willing to follow Burkinabe laws and become productive members of Burkinabe society. We also allow splinter companies specializing in T/A-Dolls to operate in the country as long as no link to the German government is found and they follow the new corporate protocols. Meanwhile, the A231 highway is finished, traversing the nation east-west, and construction on the A18, which will pass north-south through eastern Burkina Faso, and eventually cross the border into Togo, terminating at Lome, begins. The Western African Hyperloop has drastically improved access to many areas across the country, with travel times both inside and outside the country being drastically cut (travel times between Markoye and Ouagadougou reduced to 15 minutes, Ouagadougou-Accra travel times reduced to 45 minutes, and Ouagadougou-Tunis travel times cut to just over 2 hours), and has resulted in many from the countryside, and even some from outside the country, commuting to work in Ouagadougou. Expansion of several roads is planned for areas serviced by the hyperloop, to accomodate more traffic in these rapidly-growing communities. Slum clearance and urban renewal continues, with slums being cleared out and replaced with government housing and suburban houses. The AIDS credit is also introduced in the start of a unified AIDS currency, with both AIDS credits and Burkinabe credits being legal tender until 2087. The Grand Africana building’s structural frame is now mostly complete, and interior work has begun on the lower floors.
 * Flag of Germany.png German Diplomacy: We will answer to the Burkinabe people directly that the German Government isn't fully connected to the Sangvis Ferri activities and we aren't aware of their illegal activities at all for many years; and we condemned their actions to the nation of Reformed Burkina Faso.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We are deeply disturbed by the Sangvis-Ferri scandal in Burkina Faso, and share concerns over the possibility of such events being a threat to the West African community with Tunisia and the rest of AIDS. Following the move of Tunisia to adopt the AIDS credit, batches of the currency are printed in Algiers and accepted as legal tender in major cities. Smaller towns and such are expected to follow naturally. The Green Sahara Project grows exponentially as the process becomes relatively easier due to the existing de-desertified lands. The regions of Morocco and Sarahwi have liberalised to a certain degree from the former hardline conservative norms decades ago. Now, it has become a bridge for tourism from Europe across Gibraltar. Commercial projects for entertainment centres and theme parks have been approved in the Northwest Morocco. The development of Aoudaghost goes along as scheduled, and the foundations of the rail lines connecting it to existing lines, intersecting them via terminals.

2078
''' The blurry response from the German government in regards to its actions towards Sangvis Ferri only compound international fury against the nation, with Indian sanctions being seen internationally as a sign of the growth of Indian influence. The dual escalation of worldly ramifications is not helped by continued news reports of deviant A-Dolls, acting of what appears to be their own independent will, across Southeast Asia. '''

''' The Indian EMP strike on Northeast China causes friction between the country and several of its neighbours, specifically Japan and Korea, also affected by the strike. But on the other hand, the strike appears to have been a major success, leaving most infected bodies healthy enough to survive, while destroying most of the nanobot outbreak across the former country. '''

''' Elsewhere, Germany sees internal strife. The March for Righteousness in Berlin, Munich and other major cities captures international media as the German public demand a real answer from their government, instead of the muddled mess of denials and semi-confirmations that it has thus far given. The world wants to know one single answer: Was the German government complicit in allowing Sangvis Ferri to commit political assassinations against the politicians of a sovereign nation? '''

''' The Federation's Costa Rican puppet collapses to a combined US-Panaman-Australian force, pushing the Federation out of Central America completely. However, the Federation, becoming increasingly desperate, launches a no-holds-barred assault across the Carribean, messy Federation forces scattered across the region. From the Dominican Republic to St. Kitts and Nevis, the Federation continues to launch sustained assaults on Carribean islands as SAGATO launches its own offensive from the South of the Federation's controlled territory. '''
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Having remained relatively silent on the topic of the Sangvis Ferri scandal due the fact that it is a private company and therefore not technically a political issue, the PM can no longer withhold comment. Though no sanctions are placed on Germany or any German individuals and organisations, Britain stops all non-essential military coordination with Germany and all Sangvis Ferri products are outlawed and any existing within British jurisdiction are terminated. The government would like Germany to make a detailed statement explaining the circumstances of the situation. On the topic of A-Doll deviance, the PM urges all nations to exterminate AI demonstrating independent will. This is exactly what Britain's public has been worried about for so long and why networked systems were developed instead of units of independent AI. Meanwhile, the British government severely condemns India's decision to sanction their own ally in the AEAN, demonstrating at least for now that the current administration is not reliable and cannot be counted on to fight for justice in a reasonable manner and not resort to extreme measures in a reckless way. The same recklessness was demonstrated when the Indian military decided o launch an EMP so large and volatile that it was capable of taking out an entire country and a few surrounding regions. The international community should not tolerate what is undeniably the use of a weapon of mass destruction. It is simply too volatile and dangerous. This is exactly what Britain learned after the EMP test in Australia went badly wrong mere years ago. Small EMPs are the only responsible EMPs.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: 200 A-Dolls and T-Dolls are kept in Tunisia for experimentation. [SECRET] We begin experimenting on partially overriding the free will of the A-Dolls and T-Dolls, in order to have them mostly be of free will but unquestioningly loyal to Tunisia, and able to do all sorts of espionage activities on other countries if deemed fit. This project will be kept top secret to everyone except the President and his cabinet, and leading scientists [END SECRET]. On the subject on the Indian EMP, we agree that it was unnecessarily large, and affected the people of northeastern China more than neccessary, but do acknowledge that without the EMP, curtailing the nanobotia infection would have taken many more years. Tunisian troops in Libya and Puerto Rico continue doing what they did last year. The Green Sahara Project in Tunisia is pretty much done, with full attention switching to assisting our allies and neighbors outside the country on their endeavors of de-desertification of the Sahara Desert. Construction on Habib Bourguiba International Airport begins. In our ongoing infrastructure endeavors outside the country, we ask the EADP for permission to extend the A1 (which already has been completed up to southern Chad) all the way to Cape Town, forming a full trans-African highway [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Tram systems have also been built in many cities and smaller towns. We also ask for visa-free agreements with the US, Canada, and Mexico [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: A leftover community of around 40,000 deviant A-Dolls and T-Dolls in and around Ouagadougou is allowed to stay in the country, and will even be granted citizenship in Burkina Faso (complete with ID and passport), so long as they follow Burkinabe law, agree to learn one or more of the 4 official languages of Reformed Burkina Faso (French, Arabic, Moore and Dioula), and are not complicit in any attempts, by foreign governments or otherwise; to infiltrate, destabilize, and/or jepoardize the national security of the Burkinabe nation in any shape or form, and are active contributors to Burkinabe society. The Burkinabe Constitution is also amended to allow intelligent AI with free will the right to vote and rights equivalent to their human counterparts. The 2078 Burkinabe census, the first to include an A-Doll and T-Doll categorization (Droids), is also taken [MOD RESPONSE ON RESULTS]. Although some protest these new developments, most people, especially outside of the Ouagadougou area, are indifferent to the new changes, as the droid population is centered almost completely in Ouagadougou and its outlying suburbs. Initial expansion of the Ouagadougou Metro is finished, with existing lines extended into suburban areas, as well as a new line, the Circle Line, being built. Simple light rail transit such as trams are also built in many towns and cities. Healthcare is subsidized heavily, with the government paying for 50% of the cost of healthcare, and, in the case of the poor, healtcare is free. Several new universities and community colleges are also being built, and teachers enticed to teach by being offered high salaries compared to the rest of the nation (many teachers are now being paid around US$20,000 (2019), compared to the median household income of Burkina Faso circa. 2077, at US$14,251 (2019)). Tourism is also increasing, with Burkina Faso slowly but surely becoming the go-to place for experiencing the culture and wildlife of Africa while within reach of the comforts of the developed Western world. Several safaris have opened up, and attractions including but not limited to traditional African villages, the ruins of the old Parliament building, and the Grand Palace of Lower Africa (where the Supreme Leader of the Lower Islamic Union resided), have seen a recent influx of tourists from abroad. Several new hotels are being built in major cities to accomodate this recent influx in tourism. Finally, the Grand Africana building’s general exterior frame has been conpketed, and work has now turned into furnishing the inside. A mall comprising the first three floors of the building has been completed, and is now open to visitors.
 * EADP: We agree to the Tunisian proposal.
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada and Flag of Mexico.png Mexico: We agree to future trade agreements, but we want specifics. The talks will begin shortly.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We agree to the visa free agreement.
 * Burkinabe Census: 23 million people are recorded, with some 41,000 A-Dolls, although a large number of them, roughly 13,000, have not exhibited signs of deviancy yet.
 * Flag_of_Northwest_Africa.png Maghreb: We do not recognise "T-Dolls" and "A-Dolls" as free human beings, as such machinations are unholy and ultimately a blasphemy to the will of Allah. We cannot simply toy with machinations beyond human understanding. As such, they are not granted full rights as a normal human would, however their existence is mostly tolerated within our borders, granting them conditional citizenships. Greater_Blue_Line_(VD).pngg as Tunisia's Green Sahara Project is nearly complete, plans are proposed to scale up the project within our borders. 10 new desalination plants are constructed in various coastal cities across the country, and a further 500 square kilometre expanse of pipe networks planned. The efforts of the LSD Project also help to accelerate the de-desertification process. New schools are built in rural areas as part of a campaign to increase the "average intelligence" of the population, as well as the ability of our population to read and write. The Greater Blue Line is proposed to connect almost all of the Maghrebi coastline, connecting Dakhla to Tunis and all major cities along the way. This is expected to increase tourism, as well as economic growth as this will provide fast transportation within the country from one end to the other.
 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: Due to unfolding A-Doll crisis in Southeast Asia, an order to disable or destroy all A-Dolls acting at their free will is issued.. Remaining A-Dolls that remain harmless (around in the hundreds) are given citizenship but could be revoked if done anything violent. The country's retail industry is revived with the opening of the Mall of AEAN, which is housed in a new refurbished version of the former SM North Edsa Building, which had stood for decades. Tenants include Ace's Hardware, Wellcome Supermarket, Hardee's, Hot Topic and Blue Bottle Coffee Company. The aging railway system has completed rehabilitation, and an organization similar to Japan Railways has been formed, called the Philippine Railways Group. A black travel warning is also placed on Germany, United Kingdom, Sudan, Northeast China and most of the Carribean, with reasons including "Wars and other diplomatic issues that still need to be addressed." We order all Filipinos that do not have citizenship or working passes there to go home if possible, and several jobs have been prepared for them for the meantime. Yellow travel warning is issued for Australia, South China, and most of South America and Central America.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: The British diplomat to the Philippines cautions the government against recognising the so-called humanity of the A-dolls by granting them citizenship. Do know that any and all A-dolls are not recognised life-forms in the UK and as they are outlawed under British jurisdiction, any A-dolls encountered will be terminated and not considered citizens of anywhere.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian Diplomacy: Australia agrees with Britain, A-dolls are not humans. You would not grant citizenship to a computer, so why would you grant it to an A-doll. Like Britain we have banned A-dolls, and will destroy them if they reach our shores.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The Philippines, as an independent nation state, is free to decide its own domestic affairs.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japanese Diplomacy: Britain and Australia, you don't boss them like they are your colonies or puppets. They have the right to allow A-Dolls, and the Japanese government embraces it.
 * Indian Diplomacy: We condone what we see as British and Australian interventionalism in what isn't theirs. We support America and Japan in restating that the Philippines is independent from their will. Could this be part of neo-imperialism by Britain??????
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: We suspect India meant 'condemn'. We also exhibit a certain confusion at India and the other nation's apparent hypocrisy in attacking interventionism when, 1. Britain is not intervening, merely making aware Philippines of British laws as a courtesy; 2. They are clearly intervening if what Britain has done is to be considered intervention. Additionally, we condemn India for making wild and unsubstantiated claims of imperialistic behaviour, clearly designed to sow mistrust and hatred among allies.
 * Phillipines Diplomacy: We now understand Australian and United Kingdom regulations on A-Dolls and we have implemented anti-A-Doll security on all international exit points like airports or ports. We also have updated our travel warning system and we also thank India, United States and Japan diplomats and their governments.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian diplomacy: Australia concedes that’s it has no authority over any other nations, however they are concerned that other nations appear to have rushed into decisions regarding A-Dolls. Australia also has different laws regarding A-Dolls that could lead to unpleasant situations if they were citizens of another country.


 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: The Australian government shuts down all Sangvis Ferri factories and warehouses on Australian soil, all of the products in them are seized and all products made by the company are banned. However Australia does not blame the German Government for this scandal, the blame lies solely with the company, and apologise that Australia has intervened in a foreign company. Diplomatically, Australia again requests a military pact with the UK and Japan, especially now that tensions in East Asia are set to rise after India nuked China (Player Response). We also disapprove of the Indian EMP, suggesting that they should have developed a smaller one first. Although we cannot argue with the results. The Australian government pours nearly $1 billion into the cellular regeneration project, aiming to complete it sometime in the near future. The Manus Island Project is set to be completed in 2082, while the Lunar and Umboi Island projects are both right on track, to be completed next year. In South America, 5000 troops are withdrawn from Panama and sent to the Caribbean, after the Federation’s attack there. Construction begins on a Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne hyperloop that is estimated to be completed in 2081. In Brisbane, a new rock band known as the Great Apes is becoming popular with 10,000 albums sold this year.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: We gladly agree to a military pact.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: No A-dolls or T-dolls currently reside in the country, that the federal government knows of. Therefore, no action is taken against A and T dolls, yet we condemn Sangvis Farri for interfering in some of the affairs of Burkina Faso, and issue travel advisories for Germany due to recent civil unrest. Nevertheless, the Simulated Persons Act is heavily revised following this scandal, and the ongoing DoD project to transfer sims into humanoid bodies is shut down. Sims are to not be used in any physical form. Nevertheless, the project to use sims to extract useful information in criminal cases is ongoing, with the NYPD starting use of it. Although some extreme forms of torture are banned, some cases have been solved purely using sims. However, it is unlikely they will be mass implemented soon. The United States government issues a formal declaration that confidently declares A and T dolls are distinctly not human, unless they can A. Pass the Turing Test. B. Resist easy manipulation by human scientists. C. Show the same flaws as humans (greed, lust, anger), as well as "emotions", and D. Feel pain and suffering. Police replace most tasers with mid level sonic weapons (nicknamed rays), neutralizing a suspect or target, and riot police begin using high level sonic weapons to break up riots and violent protests. We declare victory in Costa Rica, and hand over the duty of occupation to Panama, with US assistance. Ground troops are sent to the Dominican Republic to help assist, and our first battle is at La Romana against a Federation stronghold. We would like the results of this battle. [Mod Response] We establish a strong air and naval presence in the US Virgin Islands, to prevent any invasion of our land. Since it is very likely the government of St Kitts & Nevis was dismantled following the Federation invasion, we send ground troops with close air and naval support to the island, and attack Federation beachheads, blockade Basseterre, and airstrike confirmed Federation military targets. An invasion of Charleston on Nevis is staged. Do we take over the island of Nevis from their Federation occupiers, and damage Federation strongholds on the dual-islands? [Mod Response] Obviously this means we must extract some naval and air assets from Puerto Rico, however we continue our barrage against them in Salinas, and considering we have been ruthlessly attacking the tired Federation forces there, expect to take back the port this year. Do we? [Mod Response] The Texas HypLoop is completed, our building processes so efficient, by using robots to construct the hyploops, with some human supervisors. The Colorado 1 lands safely on the Moon's surface, near the Kepler crater, and its humans begin using the prefabs packed, as well as some rudimentary robotic drones and rovers, to start a small hut from which that base (Base Penrose) will grow. The Mississippi 1 will bring even more robotic drones, and the first mining equipment. The US Electronic Infrastructure statistics proudly reports over 98% of the US population is connected to the Internet in some form or other, making the nation more connected than ever before. We begin implementing economic reforms in our Accra Occupation Zone, and have lucrative tax cuts for American technology companies seeking to build offices in Accra. The Accra Transportation Network is devised, which aims to connect the sprawling metropolis. Most of Accra is vaccinated against diseases, with a 48% English literacy rate (mainly due to the fact most media transmitted to the city is in English). Most soldiers are removed from the city. A few hotels have opened up, and new modern housing that American soldiers once inhabited are now open for Accrans to buy, though at high prices. Kotoka International Airport is opened to the public, and we attempt to lure American airline companies to have flights to the city. Independence Square in Accra is rebuilt, with its monument now showing Ghana's founder Kwame Nkrumah instead of LIU cronies. Tamale is cleared of American soldiers, as the last reconstruction funds to the city stop. The Republic of Ashanti is released as a sovereign country, except the fact that most of its media, basic services, and military protection is provided by the United States, with transportation largely provided by the US and Tunisia. Nevertheless, it is fully independent otherwise (as a member of ATO), but it cannot have a standing military until 2088, and can only use it for self defense after 2088. We expect to release the Republic of Ashanti and the Republic of Ghana by 2080. We hope to release The Confederation of the Ivory Coast and the Republic of Liberia by 2085. JUPITER, the short range energy weapon in development, will be supplemented by ZEUS, which we hope to be a long range direct energy weapon capable of penetrating materials, vehicles, and armor. In civilian news, researchers at the University of Portland have created BumBuo (pronounced bum-bo), a revolutionary AI that can create musical instruments and create catchy tunes and songs. It has been tuned since it started development in 2072, and is incredibly good at creating good music that is popular among listeners. It has free rein over vocals, chords, tempo, instruments, voice synthesization, and more, and the "quality" of its songs is determined by online polls. BumBuo then analyzes what made the most popular songs so popular, uses different types of music style (sometimes even creating its own), to create a catchy song. By August 2078, BumBuo released "Machine Boy", a song reminiscent of the alternative rock style of the late 20th and early 21st century. It becomes number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 for six weeks straight, demonstrating that machines can create just as good, if not better than humans. It is dedicated to the public domain by its creators. What is Machine Boy about? A child abused by his creators and oppressors but using his superior intellect granted by his creators, the child eventually defeats them and reigns supreme. Eerie.
 * United States Armed Forces: These feds are fighting as if their life depends on it...! We barely secure the outskirts of La Romana. Our efforts in Nevis go far worse, with the Federation stronghold holding strong with half the Federation's Atlantic Fleet stationed there. While we deal major damage, we are unable to establish a beachhead on the island. And f#ckin' hell, we have Puerto Rico in American hands once again, kicking these South American bastards back to the holes they came from. The war goes on, sir!
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: Owing to the undeniable truth that the 'T-Dolls' and 'A-Dolls' exhibiting deviant behaviour is a sign that the 'machines' are a form of intelligent, self-thinking life, the UN recognises the former properties of the Sangvis Ferri corporation as legitimate beings with the same right to free expression and movement as everyone else. As such, we condemn the abominable behaviour of the United Kingdom and Australia in advocating massacre of those whom should be treated with the same respect and rights as that of biological humans. We warn both nations that their actions will have major consequences in the future. To make this clear; the members of the United Nations near-unanimously recognise A-Dolls as a form of intelligent life on par with and to be dealt with as humans, with the Human Rights Council passing a resolution to ban usage of these beings as unpaid labour and other factors.
 * Flag of UK.png British Amb to the UN: As A-dolls are outlawed in Britain and sentient AI is also outlawed, Britain does not have to deal with the issue of recognising their legitimacy or labour wages and will simply deport any illegal entries as illegal aliens, as per how a nation might treat illegal migrants from a nation with a travel ban.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: Unfortunately, your apparent leniency is beset by the fact that the British Prime Minister himself has encouraged 'extermination' of the A-Doll Special Ethnic Group, and that you have repeatedly implied that A-Dolls are not worthy of the same rights as human beings. We regret to say that the United Kingdom, one of the former founding members of the United Nations, is now a purveyor and promoter of ethnic genocide.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian ambassador to the UN: While Australia does not agree that A-Dolls are equal to humans, and we think that exhibiting deviant behaviour is not a good indication of sentience, we agree that extermination is not the right answer and will instead deport any A or T-Dolls found. We would like to advance at our own pace when it comes to other forms of sentient life, and as these dolls are not biologically human, human rights does not apply. The case for A-Doll citizenship may be readdressed in a few years.
 * Flag of Italy.png Italian Republic : This year is the logical continuation of the previous one, the socialists rise in powerful and their ideology is spread in our spirit. Everywhere red fever is spreading in Italy, we want a more equitable social justice and reject the liberal representative democracy, which would be synonymous with the end of the nation. The people want a direct and patriotic democracy !!! The Socialists have understood this well and create a consituent assembly, very soon the new constitution is created, based on popular claims. It marks the creation of a popular referundum in which any citizen with 800,000 signatures can repeal or create a law, or remove an elected official, who can be local or national. At the executive level the office of president is created, elected by universal suffrage in 2 rounds. The legislature is gathered in only one device "the Italian supreme assembly" this one is elected every 4 years and the constituent deputy is revocable with the popular referendum all like the laws that will vote. But this system is temporary as Pierro Buegali, the first president indicated, the objective is by 2084 removed the assembly and transformed Italy into a true direct democracy in which citizens will vote the law on the internet. The first election of the second Italian republic gives the Social Patriotic Party a 52% victory, followed by the Lega and the movement of the stars, respectively to 21% and 18%. The first important referundum establishes a universal income of 1600 euro and fixed the maximum tax rate at 80%. Tax controls are strengthened, and we are proposing the creation of an international alliance to fight against tax evasion. [Response of the players and the moderation requested] The army is also deeply improved We recruit many men to reach the bar of the 100,000 men by 2080, and we extend the military services so that they last 1 years. We also want to inform the gun making corpations that we are interfered by a contract in order to replace our aging assault rifle, we wish a corporation of European preference see Italian if possible. We propose in the United Kingdom, France and Spain to join forces to build a new European tank. He should be able to fire electro-magnetic shells and have great stealth. [Mod response and player needed] On the issue of Androids a referendum was held to find out if we should give citizenship to the A-Doll. The "Yes" won 73% of the vote. We have also banned intelligent robot production for ethical issues.
 * Flag of France.png France and Flag of Spain.png Spain: As fellow members of the ATO, we agree to assist Italy in the construction of a new Main Battle Tank.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: We are glad to take part in this pioneering endeavour.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The Chinese border continues to be guarded, as although the Indian EMP did take out most of the infection, the government continues to play it safe. The government also continues to work with the Russian Union in the development of EMPs, and hopes that EMPs will be available for use soon that would take out the infection in Mongolia without causing widespread damage like the Indian EMP; and support continues towards Mongolia in fighting the outbreak. Okhotsk Company unveils a new project related to Hundred Stars Pro but features new idol characters, known as Hundred Stars Pro: Dark Nebula, and the group also releases their first song near the end of the year. A-Dolls and T-Dolls are banned from the nation along with any sentiment AI, and also banning any development of AI of any sort in the nation, and President Valentin Balakhnichev announces that giving robots rights "will be the downfall of humans and bring upon an apocalypse where robots will destroy and/or enslave humanity" and urges everyone to keep a close eye on them. Rural citizens and UFEP supporters also support the move, with many of them being overall conservative on the subject of AI. However, citizens in some large cities like Vladivostok, as well as some companies, including Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc., questions the government and condemns them for not giving the AI an actual chance. A majority of Yabloko also announces their support for giving the robot rights and a chance and also proposes to lift the ban on AI; while President Valentin Balakhnichev and the United Far East Party remain on the conservative side, and stand against giving robot rights.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: (New turn style, suck it) Hokkaido is still under construction, as the EMP blasts were the direct result of the destruction. As no condemnations were made to any nation involved with the EMP guns, we ask the British or the Australians for the documents for the weapon that they used in the Hokkaido crisis [British/Australian Response]. Speaking of Britain and Australia, we actually condemned the actions towards the A-Dolls, but still remain close to their opinions, as we can't change them. All projects that the Japanese constructors are constructing to stop the nanobotia crisis were called off, and instead are relocated to Hokkaido to reconstruct the area. Most of the JSDF forces stationed there are returned to Tokyo or Osaka, as they are returned to their families. The JSDF are also asked to withdraw from the strongholds in Sapporo and other bases. [Secret] We are working for a project, a brand new tank, namely the Type 300, which is a EMP that can disable any vehicles in the air or ground. The tank gun (the weapon to shoot the EMP) will be 1,000 meters long, like the T72 tank. We are also offering to sell the rest of the Japanese Kurils, and the northern area of Sakhalin to the Eastern Russians [Eastern Russian Response]. [End Secret]. The military is checked for any suspicions of the nanobotia crisis, as checks are manually done by X-Rays and professional doctors running examinations. After the fall of the Nanobots, the rising parties are rapidly seeing decline in popularity, as their promises are now ludicrous to the ecstatic population. The naval ships situated in Hokkaido were sent back to Yokohama for any use requiring naval combat. [Secret] We are planning to send 6,000 troops to the Chinese nations affected by the nanobots, and are planning for a full scale liberation of lands from any type of nanobots. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, the EMP blast from India won't be unnoticed (the population is splenetic about everything, aren't they now?) by most of the civilians in Japan, as condemnations are sent by the government. However, it gets rid of some nanobot threats in China, as the job can be easier.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: The government accepts the offer to buy the rest of the Japanese Kurils, and the northern area of Sakhalin.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: The blueprints and a team of scientists are sent over to help Japan. Monetary and construction aid is offered to Japan is the nation will accept.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian Response: Australia is happy to help Japan with their EMP project, we also offer aid to the Japanese construction efforts on Hokkaido.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: Our Government full on supports the UN's Mandate regarding A-Dolls and T-Dolls but still condemns Germany for its crimes. We will not lift sanctions. We offer relief money and aid to countries effected by the blast. [Japanese/Mod Response Needed] We call on AEAN to commit to a full investigation regarding Indonesia. [Mod Response Needed] Many Bollywood and Indian tech companies want to open business in Ouagadougou, which as a result will make the city very prosperous [Tunisian Response Needed] We warn the UK to be cautious with their steps regarding AI, condemning them. We also condemn what we call very abrupt and "greedy" occupation of Monrovia, even though it was to be under American control, and was Liberia (a country with much history with America)'s capital. We increase tariffs on certain British goods. We also counter Britain's rants on our use of EMP's given that they have done much, much worse, especially in India. And despite the infrastructural damage, unlike Britain, we did not kill anybody. We still condemn Britain's killing of those infected by the nanobots as brutish and imperialistic. We call on Britain to return Monrovia to Liberia, or face immediate consequences. [Player Response Needed]
 * AEAN Conference: We disagree on acting in such a manner. We resolve to allow Indonesia to solve its issues on its own, although we request that Indonesia does solve the problem as soon as possible.
 * Flag of Reunified Korea.jpg Korea: We accept Indian assistance to restore electricity to areas in North Korea. Thank you.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: We will not return Monrovia to Liberia as it is a country under occupation as agreed upon in the Treay to end the war. Pertaining to the issue of British action against so-called sentient A-dolls, they are illegal in British territory and will be denied entry. Laws regarding their treatment if they enter illegally have been softened and they will be deported to their country of origin. But as of now, no A-dolls exist under British jurisdiction. As for British actions against nanobotlia, we simply did what was neccesary to stop the further infection of the human populace. As India seems to be in the habit of using other people's actions to justify their own, it is of worth noting that every other country engaged in preventing the spread of nanobotlia also used lethaleans as it was the only option at the time. Since the invention and implementation of safesmall scale EMPs, Britain has not killed another infected since. India's accusation of imperialistic behavior is completely misinformed and unfounded, it is only right to question why India might want to attack Indonesia, a supposed military ally. Could it be India has imperialistic ambitions?
 * Indian Dip: Nehru reasserts that India's "attacks" on Indonesia are only because of alleged Buddhist persecution. We also assert that you only obtained Monrovia because you whined to the American government. The fact is that India caused no deaths in the areas affected by the EMP, while Britain killed people infected.
 * Tunisian Dip: We accept the offer.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil:We are making Substantial gains due to the three front war and because of that the Federation forces are scattered.[Top Secret] We send in our top assets the Special Task force codenamed "Ghosts" and ask them to conduct Capture and also Sabotage Missions of top Generals of the Federation.[Mod Response Needed][Top Secret]. We have some help in the form of Resistance Uprisings in Fascist Brazil. We send them aid and supplied as well as weapons to weaken them from the inside.[Mod Response Needed]
 * Ghosts: We're incoming. We've joined up with the Mafiamen as well as resistance forces, and are currently staging large-scale resistance uprisings across major cities in Occupied Brazil, including New Brazilia, Rio and others.

2079
''' While the A and T-Doll Crisis cools down, with each country taking its own path and decisions concerning the matter, another crisis concerning artificial intelligence occurs. Three cruise ships (Sognare, Marinaio, and Tramonto) operated by Italian cruise company RomaLines have capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, causing the deaths of 7,355 (3,447 people survived). All three ships were operated by an artificial intelligence with little human supervision, and this stokes fears of artificial intelligence around the globe, with many private companies and governments shutting down their AI projects, '''

''' Meanwhile in Iraq, riots break out in Mosul and other Iraqi cities, wanting Iraqi Kurdistan to become part of Kurdistan. The Iraqi government responds with force, arresting and even shooting some rioters, causing tensions to rise in the region. '''

''' Indonesia threatens to leave AEAN over India's recent actions against the nation, however, this is seen as an empty threat, with the country still reliant on exports to the region's nations. However, anti-AEAN sentiment arises in the form of what is being called Asiascepticism, with the return of what appears to be the 2079 equivalent of the 2010s' Alt-Right movement on the internet. '''

''' In China, 12 are dead in Shanghai from a Cantonese shooter. This causes the Shanghai Confederation to tighten its grip on its lands as the war with the Democratic Chinese Alliance, assisted by recent ceasefires, slowly grinds to a halt. However, the SC's troubles are far from over, with mass protests occurring in its most major coastal cities against the government for its handling of the war situation. '''

''' Tensions between India and the United Kingdom, provoked by the countries' markedly different approaches to the A-Doll Crisis, arise. Meanwhile, continued investigations reveal illegal shipments of A-Dolls all across Asia and Europe, including but not restricted to: France, Italy, Western Russia, Eastern Russia, Democratic South China, Taiwan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kurdistan, East Turkestan, and Tibet. More unconfirmed sightings of illegal shipments committed by the late Sangvis Ferri company across the world call into question how exactly so many A-Dolls were produced without the German government realising. '''
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the PR crisis that was the comments made by the British PM towards India last year, the PM resigns and snap elections are called. Ironically enough, due to wide-spread anti-sentient AI sentiment in the country, an election alliance is formed between members of the Centrist party with anti-sentient AI sentiments, and the Conservative party. This results in an election victory and super-majority in Parliament for the new Prime Minister from the Conservative Party, Winston Cromwell. Upon ascending to power, he formally apologises to the Indian government for the unprofessional comments made by his predecessor, and expresses hope of reconciliation. At the same time, he vows to retain the UK’s anti-sentient AI stance and keeps in place existing laws against sentient AI, as well as promoting his message in a world filled with fear as a result of AI sentience. The PM refuses to recognise the UN’s legitimacy as it clearly does not reflect the silent majority’s opinions – it is a simply matter of statistics and the fact that the UN does not even have half the world’s nations as members. The country’s official stance on India's sanctioning of Indonesia is reversed and the new government recognises Indonesia's fault in mistreating its Buddhist minority. Meanwhile, as a reflection of rising anti-AI sentiment world-wide and at home, the government passes new laws revisiting and scrutinising AI across the British economy. A new government hotline is set up to assist businesses in sorting out the new legislation in order not to impact the growing economy. In other news, the Air Force Space Command is dissolved and all of its functions and programmes are placed under the jurisdiction of a newly formed Space Force. A 3rd Battle Station is completed at the end of this year. In the private sector, augmented reality has become a commonplace fact of life following the release of British military AR contact lenses to the public last year. The technology comes with immense cost-saving benefit for all parties as physical objects such as screens, and advertisements (among many others) are no longer necessary. Though there is significant usage of projected AI tour guides, receptionists, and similar people-related jobs, it remains that most businesses employ humans for these jobs as the attitude towards such conceptions is one of mild discomfort to say the least. This is good for the labour market. Digital AI assistants are commonplace but they are not often treated as friends but instead as tools to be treated with respect and a type of affection similar to how an artist might treat his paint brushes. They are not humans, they are tools; is a common saying. WIP
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Under maintenance due to people reeing in the comments
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The 2079 election is marred by political contention on the question of granting sentient AI Tunisian citizenship continues to be debated in the National Assembly; proponents of citizenship for droids (mainly the Social Democrats and several small leftist and center-left parties) cite the precedent of Burkina Faso, and how granting sentient AI the same rights as humans did not do much harm to the nation, as well as the statement made by the UN, of which Tunisia is a member of. However, the Conservatives, as well as much of the Center Coalition, make an argument regarding sentient AI as a threat to human society, and should be avoided at all costs, and should NOT be integrated into human society. Incumbent President Farid Zinadine wins the elections by a small plurality. Research on A-Dolls [SECRET] on finding how to reprogram them to be completely and unquestioningly loyal to Tunisia, as well as molding them into soldiers and laborers in the extensive Tunisian infrastructure constructions across Africa [END SECRET] is continued, with possible uses for A-Dolls in apace exploration and the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, after the go-ahead from the EADP, the A1 highway is to be extended all the way to Cape Town, South Africa, creating a trans-African highway. Highway construction is underway in Cameroon, extending the A1 from its former termination point in Moundou, Chad, into Ngaoundere, Cameroon in this year alone. Permission from Egypt and Sudan for extension of the Green Sahara Project is also asked [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Speaking of the Green Sahara project, the final touches are put in place, with the last still-active Green Sahara-related project in Tunisia, the filling in of the Chott el Djerid with water from the Mediterranean via a canal, finally finishing. Attention is now near fully focused on our Saharan brethren abroad, as well as outfitting the cities of Tozeur and Douz with seaports, due to newfound access to the sea via the Chott el Djerid. We also ask Comoros for permission to build a hyperloop line connecting the three main islands of Ngazidja, Mohéli, and Anjouan [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. The new Habib Bourguiba International Airport continues construction. The newly-built Ksar Daghara launch site, located just south of Tataouine, at one point set aside to lure SpaceX into Tunisia, is repurposed as the main launch site and headquarters of the AIDSSA (Alliance of Islamic Dominions and States Space Program), and work on spacecraft has begun. Our goals are: Sending a rocket into space by 2082, sending an astronaut into space by 2085, landing on the Moon by 2090, and landing on Mars by 2100.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svg Burkina Faso: In the 2079 elections, the resurgent Parti Nationale, riding on momentun provided by the Sangvis-Ferri scandal, have seized the presidency, with party leader Jean Coulibaly becoming the 2nd President of Reformed Burkina Faso. However, other parties still hold a majority in the National Assembly, leaving the new President with a minority government. Due to the new A-Doll demographic being markedly alarmed about this new development, with them thinking that the rise of the Parti Nationale will spell the end of their rights in Burkina Faso, reassurance that they will continue to remain Burkinabe citizens is given, and as a token of goodwill to both the A-Doll community as well as foreign powers, we offer to take in any unwanted A-Dolls from nations such as the UK, Australia and Eastern Russia, who have no desire to keep them in their nations [PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Subsidization of businesses run by Burkinabe citizens is implemented, and the minimum wage is increased to 25 credits per hour (roughly 2019 US$2.50 per hour). The police force has also seen an increase in funding, at the expense of the military. Train stations continue to be built in smaller towns, connecting them to the existing train network. With the recent influx of Indian entertainment and tech firms, Ouagadougou is now considered by many Burkinabes to be the film and tech capital of West Africa (which has not gone unnoticed by the people of Accra, who claim that very same title. This has sparked a mild rivalry between the two cities), and many Ouagalais now have jobs in these sectors. Urban renewal and slum clearance continues. The Grand Africana building is now mostly completed, with construction expected to wrap up next year.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: President Valentin Balakhnichev declines, and disapproves of deporting the sentient AI to a nation that gives them rights, due to a robot revolution/takeover being a greater risk than anything else.
 * Australian Response: we accept, this is a far better solution than extermination.
 * Flag of Egypt.png Egypt: We decline the Tunisian proposal.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government begins cracking down on illegal shipping of A-Dolls into East Russia, and the East Russian National Guard increases their presence within East Russian waters. Avoiding the same issues like with both Britain and Australia previously did (trying to exterminate A-Dolls in their nations); as well as the handling of the refugees from several years ago; they are simply seized and held captive until further notice. [Secret] President Valentin Balakhnichev secretly orders for all of them found to be sent to, an abandoned town in uninhabited Wrangel Island, where the A-Dolls are to remain in the town and banned from leaving. Security is also tight as a precaution; with those involved ordered to not speak a word. [End Secret] The cruise ship event in the Mediterranean Sea further proves the President's and the UFEP's fears on the issues of AI and the risks. The A361 highway now reaches all the way to Talovka, while the A361 from Yelizovo reaches all the way to . After the purchase of North Sakhalin from Japan; the is brought back again on the table as a proposal; so to link the area with the mainland and would be a part of the railway system; meanwhile a bridge is also proposed which will be used for vehicles and a part of the highway system; both these proposals are approved with construction on them beginning shortly after. The highway bridge to Sakhalin is dubbed A365; and is also planned to extend further than the bridge as well, going to and through , and reaching all the way to ; while on the other side A365 will go to . A366 is also proposed that would branch from A365 on the mainland side, going to , which, while also approved, won't see construction until A365 is completed. Planned cover versions of Build Our Machine (Bendy and the Ink Machine) and Mr. Roboto (Styx) by Shattered Crystal and Voyampolsky are delayed until further notice; meanwhile Winterland's hardbass cover of Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's "Kappa" ~ Candid Friend is released. Meanwhile Okhotsk Company's Hundred Stars Pro: Dark Nebula begins creating music in a more chiptune style and mixing it with other genres. As the government continues aiding in the creation of the EMPs to be used, aid continues for Mongolia against the infection. Aid also continues to the State of Siberia for reconstruction.
 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: We make it clear that we are not giving A-Dolls all rights that citizens have, and they are not allowed to leave the country due to different restrictions by other sovereign nations. We destroy the last remaining A-Dolls that aren't given rights by the government. Anti-artificial intelligence cameras are set up on international terminals like ports and airports. Following the end of the diplomatic crisis, we lift the travel ban on the United Kingdom. We also reopen our embassies on Palau and other Pacific nations. Most street vendors are relocated to newly constructed simple hawker centers. A new high speed rail line between the cities of Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija and Bacoor, Cavite have been completed and opened. Startup company Bayandeliv has started the country's first online delivery service since decades, now delivering first for several local chains like Chowking and warehouse chain Landers using drones with GPS technology and other features. It plans to enter the international market as success has been done. A large stretch of Mindanao Avenue in Novaliches is turned into a Hollywood-inspired district but local, with a Walk of Fame commemorating famous figures like Rodrigo Duterte, Ramon Magsaysay and Kris Aquino. Three new idol groups have started on this year, and a remake of the Final Destination series have become a box office hit. Despite many of our landmarks lost overtime due to different factors, we promote our other tourist destinations, especially the following: Piat, Pagudpud, Coron, Siargao, Antique, Central Manila, Aklan, and Mount Banahaw. Philvision is launched, inspired by Eurovision but with provinces instead of countries. A census involving largest cities, countries where most expatriates came from and richest provinces are held. [Mod Response]
 * Filipino Census: Manila is the largest at 28.4 million people in the Greater Manila Region, with Cebu City marking second with 13.2 million. A majority of our 11.3 million expatriates are of Chinese or Japanese descent, whereas a significant minority of them are American, Indonesian, Australian and Malaysian. Other smaller countries included amongst the expatriate population include Vietnam and the Burmese nations. The richest provinces are the Central Visayas, followed closely behind by the Western Visayas and Negros Island Region. The Greater Manila Region (Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, Bulacan and the National Capital Region) on its own is the third richest province.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia:The 2079 general election is a victory for the Libertarian party, as the population loses trust in Prime Minister McKelly’s ability to navigate through a crisis. The Libertarians win 86 seats, the Centrists 43 and minor parties take 21, this places Samantha Jones as Prime Minister. The new government offers a Union State between Australia and New Zealand, as the people and cultures of both nations are very similar, both nations are historical allies and members of the commonwealth and the Australian Constitution even names New Zealand as an Australian state (Mod Response). Due to the tragic loss of life in the three sunken ships, anti AI sentiment in Australia is at an all time high despite anger at how close McKelly brought the country to crisis. It becomes illegal for any vehicle to be 100% AI driven, a human driver must always be present. All A-Dolls in the country are deported to Burkina Faso, and all attempting to enter are turned back. Australia empties South Wellesley Island Quarantine once all occupants are swept by magnetic fields they are sent back to their own nations. Meanwhile the Umboi Island Base has been finished, 500 troops are stationed there, but the Australian Lunar Mission is delayed until next year. (Secret) Australia begins research into nuclear weapons technology, code-named Project Wattle is is estimated that a 20 kiloton weapon should be ready by 2081 and a 100 kiloton weapon by 2086 (End Secret). Australia continues to reverse engineer both laser and sonic weapons, aiming to create more powerful and accurate sonic artillery, and more efficient laser rifles than the ones created by UK and Germany. Australia ask permission from Japan and Papua New Guinea for Australian factories to be set up in these nations (Mod/Japanese Response).
 * Flag of New Zealand.png New Zealand: By the virtue that is our nation's neutrality, we respectfully decline the Australian government's proposal. We will always remain close, but we cannot engage in such a merger at this time.
 * Flag of Papua New Guinea.svg Papua New Guinea: So long as the Australian government discloses the purpose of these factories, we will accept the Australian government proposal.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: Several districts of the Aoudaghost city have been finished, and permanent settlement is expected to begin within the next 5 years. The long rail lines spanning across desert, savannah and grassland to connect it to major cities elsewhere along the coast are soon to be completed. Holy Leader Yusuf Taiyoob informs the public of his decision to resign, as he feels he is getting too old to properly lead Maghreb. As such, the Holy Leader has called for a fair and transparent election to call upon a new leader whom will advance our great nation and undo the mistakes of our forefathers. The title of Holy Leader is also to be abolished when the elected leader takes office, replaced by the title of Prime Minister. National media outlets and online sites predict massive changes within the North African political landscape depending on who is elected. As a result of several upgrades and advances, the Green Sahara Project yields a new record of 535 square kilometres of arable land. With the project's efforts growing by leaps and bounds, proposals for artificial bodies of water to be created in the Sahara are approved, utilising the massive quantities of water pumped from the Mediterranean to also fill up man-made basins carved into the desert. This is considered to be another method to prevent re-desertification and promote industrial and economic growth, and as such is supported by many. However, it will take years for such a massive change to become visible, with the filling process perhaps taking place by the end of this century
 * .Flag of Sweden.png   Sweden: The first mass produced linear induction train (Luodin juna-2)finishes it's tests at Gotska-Sand ön and is ready for usage on  Stockholm-Gotebörg line when the line is finished.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: While we wholeheartedly disagree with the United Nations on giving droids "human rights", we are also apprehensive of countries systematically destroying and deporting A and T dolls. The Socialist Party wins a senate seat in this year's special Senate election in Texas, perhaps suggesting a further move to the left in some areas of the country. Bumbuo releases more hit singles, such as Sunflower, À Suivre, and Fattening, which all make the Hot 100. Unlike our ally across the pond, artificial intelligence is used widely across America, and "robo-partners" become popular, literally making your loved one a robot. These relationships are often described by the American Psychiatric Association as unhealthy for the brain, but are still widely used, with 30,000 human-robot relationships. Meanwhile, androids connected to smart home systems are used more, with 190,000 droid assistants, although are very expensive, at around $600,000 ameros ($30,000 2019 USD), can do the dishes, chores, cleaning, and even rudimentary conversations with children. While the general fear of AI marks a significant reduction in AI funding, it is still the 3rd most funded technology in the United States, behind only energy and virtual reality. Despite worldwide fear of artificial intelligence, the United States was not affected at all by the T and A doll crisis, and therefore, American citizens are not apprehensive about AI. 31% of all federal jobs are entrusted to robots, in a report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (the report was complied by a robot). The US government's "Robot Manifesto" mandates that unless a robot shows certain qualities, it is not entitled to the same rights as a human is, and so far, 0 robots in the United States have fufilled all these quantities. Project Ataturk is slated for next year, proposed to make the US 100% self-sufficient in water distribution. The United States makes no offensive moves in the Federation this year, except making sure to diminish Federation command of the sea in the Caribbean. The idea of Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Services is toyed with by the government, preparing for an impending job crisis.
 * District of Accra: Accra Pour Toujours! So our friends up to the north in Burkina Faso believe they wrestle control of the tech and film industries in West Africa? Maybe now, but not for long. WIP

2080
''' James Matthew Kennedy, the great-great-great grandson of U.S President John F. Kennedy and U.S Ambassador to Vietnam, is saved by a deviant A-Doll during a sudden terror attack committed by members of the Communist Vietnamese Army (CVA). This prompts the Vietnamese government to begin reconsidering its position on the beings as a sign of good faith, and shocks the region. The United Kingdom's assurances that 'robots are tools and nothing more' may just become a thing of the past should such good press continue. '''

''' In the meantime, the Energy Arms Race begins, with Western Russia, the UK, allegedly now South China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Egypt joining the race to the world's first standard Directed Energy Weapon. Armalite America begins lobbying the UN and other intergovernmental organisations to ban DEWs or at least limit their usage, citing 'dangers' and 'unforseen consequences'. They are joined by Minebea, Singapore Kinetics, and newly-founded Qiang Arms (A South Chinese government venture) in what appears to be a bid to prevent ballistic weapons from becoming a thing of the past. '''

''' On the other side of the world, however, tensions ratchet. The German Snap Elections of 2080 put a completely new party in power, Wahraftige Politik, a left-leaning party premised on increasing government transparency and fixing the German economy. The new Chancellor, Wernher von Braun, travels to India, Eastern Russia and the United Kingdom apologising for not taking sufficient oversight of the Sangvis Ferri company's actions. The German government immediately sets about fixing the crisis, paying an immediate 0.7 billion Euros in reparations to countries around the world affected by the A-Doll crisis. '''

''' The Federation's Caribbean Offensive all but fails, with Federation naval forces being pushed out of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The US Navy turns its sights towards Venezuela, and the now-endangered Caracas: Capital of the Federation of South America. Meanwhile, the continued offensives by SAGATO completely push Federal forces out of Brazil and Bolivia in a stunning show of military power as the Federation's time nears. With leadership in disarray and supply lines stretched thin, the end of the Federation is all but certain. '''

''' But an odd threat - or blessing - rises in the distance. The resurgence of international mafia groups, edged on by international tensions, such as the Japanese Yakuza, or the American-Italian Cosa Nostra, begins to be seen as mafia groups begin to act in their own forms of justice. A loose movement of organised crime groups in the American South begin acting as vigilantes, killing and systematically murdering members of the Italian mob involved in the Second American Civil War. What this has to mean is completely uncertain. '''


 * Flag of Australia.svg AustraliaAustralia’s Manned Lunar Mission is a success, managing to get a team of 5 to the Moon, where they remained for two days before returning home safely. Australia continues to fight the Federation forces in South America, and with the war looking to be nearing its close, 3000 new recruits join the armed forces. Seeking to help our ally in this new arms race Australia offers both scientific and monetary support for the UK’s DEM project (Player Response). Australia also enters the DEM arms race for itself, planning DEM tests to be completed in the next few years. The first two new Australian battleships are completed, the HMAS Drop Bear and the HMAS Mandurah, Mandurah is stationed at Umboi Island while Drop Bear is sent to Garden Island. All current Australian projects are on schedule. Several Australian companies open factories in New Guinea including Holden, Vegemite and Carlton Draught. The AI registration act requires all companies that intend to replace humans with AI (anything from driverless cars to machines in manufacturing) must register themselves with the Australian government. Any that don’t have a person keeping an eye on the AI just in case will be stopped until they do, it is hoped that having a person that can stop the AI if it starts to malfunction will prevent further tragedies such as the sinking of the three ships. A research organisation dedicated to research on cellular regeneration is set up, it is not expected to make major progress anytime soon but is hoped to have some new information and a possible prototype by 2090.
 * Flag of Sudan.png Sudan: With newfound assistance from our Egyptian and Iranian allies, we finally kick the South Sudanese aggressors out of our nation and declare the new Republic of Sudan. We immediately demand an end to the war from South Sudan as well as reparations for the damage caused during its general rule over Sudan. In addition, we join the Eastern Cooperation Pact as a full member.
 * Flag of India.svg Republic of India: India joins the Energy Arms Race (EAR) in building the first DEW, we have a timeline, hoping to finish our first by 2083 and test it later the same year. We reuse technology left over from the EMPs we recently finished. SECRET: Our AI is finally online and self-aware, we keep 'him' secret to avert causing the rest of the world dismay. We plan to hook him up into the governmental systems by 2085. SECRET We offer the US military assistance in its fight against the Federation. American Dip Needed We begin construction of our first robotic soldiers, with the first unit (of 50,000) to be finished by 2081.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: In politics, a compromise is finally agreed upon in the National Assembly, with the A-Dolls being deported to our ally (and according to some, a puppet state), Burkina Faso, a nation that respects their rights. [SECRET] Although we send 500 A-Dolls to Burkina Faso, 100 of them are kept in Tunisia for further experimentation, as well as for potential uses in our space program in the future. [END SECRET]We once again offer Sudan partnership in the Green Sahara project [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. We also begin research into Directed Energy Weapons, with us bringing some prototypes for DEWs to the 2080 BIATCH conference. The final act of the Green Sahara Project in Tunisian borders, the construction of a system of canals linking the Mediterranean with the Chott el Djerid and the Chott el Gharsa, in order to permanently fill the seasonal lakes up, has begun, and is expected to take 4 or 5 years. Construction of the A1 “Trans-African Highway” continues in Cameroon, with areas up to Yaoundé opened up for use, and construction commencing as far as Libreville, in Gabon. We also ask the EADP for permission to accompany the Trans-African Highway with a Trans-African Hyperloop Line, running, again, from Tunis to Cape Town, this time via Aoudaghost [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. On the AIDS Space Program, we begin construction of a spacecraft, the Nujum Mulzama (translated literally as “Starbound”), which will eventually have manned space flights. The transition into the AIDS credit continues, with Tunisian dinars no longer being printed by the National Bank of Tunisia, although they will remain legal tender for another 7 years. Finally, a census is scheduled, measuring things like population, largest cities, ethnic makeup, and average income for both the country and each of the major cities [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: The next stage of the transition to the AIDS credit continues, with the Burkinabe credit no longer being printed by the National Bank; however, they are still legal tender. A law on Universal Basic Income has been passed, with each household receiving the equivalent of a minimum wage payment, working 5 8-hour days (translating to roughly 4,000 AIDS credits, or roughly US$400 (2019) per month). Meanwhile, the introduction of A-Dolls, as well as the influx of them from other countries less willing to recognize their rights, has begun to work for the economy. Many of them have taken up work in the tech, education, and tourism industries, as well as more menial jobs such as janitors and street sweepers. Already, many workers at Ouagadougou International Airport are A-Dolls, and the first A-Doll professor, Connor Cyberlife, has recently begun teaching at the University of Koudougou. A “beautifying” scheme is introduced by the Ouagadougou City Council, incorporating the already existing slum removal projects with a scheme to increase the amount of park areas in the city, as well as emphasizing more on access to many forms of transportation, such as buses, trams, subways, and bike paths. Finally, the Grand Africana Tower is finally finished. Standing at 574 meters tall, it is the tallest building in Africa, and the 7th tallest building on Earth, with a size comparable to the One World Trade Center in New York. It will house a hotel, a shopping mall. numerous restaurants, offices, and apartments, as well as an observation deck and skybar. It will also be equipped with its own stop on the Ouagadougou Metro.
 * Flag of Sudan.svg Sudan: Now that our affairs are in order... we accept the Tunisian offer, and hope for better relations in the future.
 * EADP: We accept the Tunisian offer for a new Hyperloop line.
 * Tunisian Census: Our population of 29 million people is largely clustered around Tunis, with 16.7 million in the Larger Tunis Region. Sfax is far behind at second, with 3.6 million people. The general ethnic makeup of Tunisia has remained largely unchanged from before, 86% Amazigh and 6% European, with a growing number of Chinese and Japanese residents. The average income in Tunis is $974AMR, with the average income in other areas coming down as $657AMR.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government accepts the German government's apology and lifts the ban on German tech imports as well. Meanwhile the government also begins cracking down on mafia groups as well, and the East Russian National Guard is on alert as well. The government also offers the State of Siberia of the referendum, which is set for next year, and is a vote on whether to remain independent, or join either West or East Russia. [Mod Response] Half of the existing railway lines are now ran by bullet trains, with more in the works alongside new railway lines. Okhotsk Company begins plans of a vocaloid product, codenamed "Hibiscus"; meanwhile the fourth season of Immortal Kosmos airs; and a separate mobile game is also released for Hundred Stars Pro: Dark Nebula which also sees regular updates like the mobile game for Hundred Stars Pro and Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage. Aid continues for Mongolia and work continues for EMPs on a smaller scale to be used to fight the infection, which continues to take a while. Aid and reconstruction also continues to the State of Siberia.
 * Political Representative of the Siberian Populace: We accept the Eastern Russian offer for a referendum.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The saving of the ambassador to Vietnam simply upholds the good reputation AI has received in this country, and increases sales of robo-partners. NLP candidate Darien Sanchez, the first gay president, is elected in a contentious election, as we celebrate our victories in the Caribbean. We begin shelling Caracas's coast, and air strikes on military targets in the city begin, as well as regular naval patrols in the area to clear out any Federation ships. The Universal Basic Income provides a regular welfare benefit of $600 2019 USD to every jobless citizen over 18, despite objections from the Conservative House of Representatives. We continue our work on direct energy weapons, silent in the world stage about these new weapons. Bumbuo releases two new hit albums, and its creators start a private company, Hocus-Pocus to focus on their endeavors more.
 * District of Accra: Flush with American money, Kotoka International Airport begins a remodeling, and we offer direct flights from American cities, making Accra all the more attractive. Accra will be the center of the Gold Coast Hyperloop, stretching all the way from Liberia to Lagos in Nigeria, if the Nigerian government allows it. [Mod Response] Already, AI is being imported from the United States in our public spaces, and in Independence Square, they are being experimented as park cleaners and janitors with no pay, no objections, and can work in most inclement weather. As large parts of Accra were destroyed in the war, these become prime real estate areas, and cheap development and housing is built. Accra begins to incentivize American financial companies to set up shop and offices, due to the benefits of having effectively the same regulations as the US, as well as tax breaks, and cheap and prime real estate. [Mod Response] Perhaps nothing is more symbolic of Accra's renewal than Forward Boulevard, a new shopping district in Accra, built right on top of a former LIU bureaucratic monolith. The Accra Convention Center is being built near Wejia Reservoir, and we expect it to be crowded when it is completed, due to low rent fees. AI is being experimented in public spaces, not as janitors, but as assistants, to help you with whatever you may need. Most of these robots are imported from the United States.
 * Flag of Nigeria.svg Nigeria: We humbly accept the Accran offer for a hyperloop.
 * Accran Department of Commerce: We've seen a relative influx of companies from Western Europe and the United States, as well as a spike in startups.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil:The Federation is in Utter Chaos and dissaray because of the losses they have been facing so far. We have been waiting for this moment where we will strike with our entire might. We go Literally all out by Pouring out all our Military manpower into a single offensive towards the Capital City of the Federation, Caracas reminiscent of the Soviet Offensive into Berlin and the taking of the Reichstag.[Top Secret] (This isn't supposed to be a secret now but who cares) We tell the Ghosts and the Recon team that the final Offensive has begun and that the need for them is more important than ever [Mod Response Needed][Top Secret]. When the war is finally over we will move over towards more international affairs which we have been sorely missing out of due to the war.
 * Ghosts & BSOC JTF: Registered. Final push to take Caracas starts now.
 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: On December 11, 2080 Philippine Standard Time, astronaut Alan Garcia lands and walks on the moon, as the first successful launch by the Philippine Space Program that has been developing rockets since a decade ago, despite not being reported by international mass media. The Philippine Flag is planted on the moon. This has been only the second time the country has done a mission outside the Earth's atmosphere, after the launching of the DIWATA-1 spacecraft in the 2010s. The country has looked forward to exploring space again, however budget has become a factor that will delay it and that it is highly implausible to go to the rest of the Solar System in the present time setting. Phase One of the PhilHyperloop is finished, with a route of Tutuban Station to Matnog Central Station. We began doing a mass arrest of the Yakuza in the North, mostly being successful. The Philippine Interstate System is created, mostly formed by already existing highway systems throughout the country. Manila Zoo's complete rehabilitation is finished, and now hosts a couple of species of snakes, birds and a few water animals, with more space for animals and cleaner environment. A new retail company called Tropicalmart has reached it's 300th store, with most branches around Metro Manila, Cavite, Isabela, Pampanga, Cebu, Iloilo, Davao and Compostela Valley. It sells daily middle class items like local fruits, vegetables, different types of seafood, local snack brands, toiletries and sauces, as well as foreign based items like Skittles and Dr. Pepper. They plan to expand into India's major cities of Chandigarh, Mumbai and Kochi.
 * Tunisian Dip: We start enticing Tropicalmart to expand into the Tunisian market [RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Burkinabe Dip: We start enticing Tropicalmart to expand into Burkina Faso [RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Tropicalmart: We accept Tunisia and Burkina Faso's request, opening our first international stores in La Fayette, Tunis and Koulouba, Ouagadougou
 * Indian Dip: We accept Tropicalmart with open arms.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The nation officially sees its second official leader ever as Ibrahim al-Ansari is elected the Prime Minister of Maghreb. The historic event is televised across the country as former Holy Leader Yusuf Taiyoob is seen shaking hands with the new Prime Minister in front of the People's National Assembly building in Algiers. As one of his first acts in office, Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ansari reinstates the former Northwest African Space Administration as the Maghrebi Administration of Geospatial Activities, which begins operating at former bases and a new site under construction a few kilometres away from Aoudaghost. During an interview he supports the move by stating "we are one of the largest geopolitical players on this continent, but can we really claim to be one of the African Elite if we do not conquer the skies and beyond? With the new Administration, not only will we leave our mark on this planet, but potentially the entire solar system". MAGA expects to launch missions into Low Earth Orbit in the late 2080s, and potentially interplanetary missions afterwards. Meanwhile, the national syllabus is updated and funding provided to schools in rural areas to increase the population's ability to read and write Arabic, English and French. The Green Sahara Project yields 485 square kilometres of arable land this year, and the country is proud to announce that the efforts of the project are now fully visible from space, as grasslands and savannah begin to sprout in the north.
 * Flag of Italy.png Italian Republic : For 2 years, the place of the AI ​​is at the heart of the debates. After great discussion, it was decided the non-working artificial intelligence will be banned. That is to say all artificial intelligence has "too autonomous" and think without human supervision. They are all destroyed with the exception of the sensitive ia (androide) which are forbidden of production and citizen. The other ia will now be more supervised to avoid drifts. The other major law voted by the people is the legalization of cannabis, the ban on cloning and eugenics, and the establishment of a maximum salary ($ 30,000). The Euro Tank project is coming to a successful conclusion and will probably be the most powerful tank in the world when it will be released in 2082. An unveiling with great fanfare will take place in Milan, in the company of the world's greatest statesmen and their ambassadors. Italy has just been remelitarized: 100,000 men now make up the professional army (new target of 250,000 by 2090) with 500,000 conscripts. They will all be equipped with the new Beretta HRX 340, last generation weapon by 2083 (2087 for conscripts). We would like to sell this rifle to Spain, Portugal, Greece and Albania. We recall this ability to shoot "hybrid" bullets (electrically charged bullets). [Mod response needed]
 * Flag of Spain.png Spain, Flag of Greece.png Greece, Flag of Albania.png Albania: While we will buy prototypes for testing, we do not see how the EC-Hybrid bullets provide a justifiable advantage for their costs.
 * Portugal: We will purchase 5,000 HRX340 for usage amongst Portugese troops.
 * Flag of Sweden.png   Sweden: We will purchase 3,000 HRX340 and 21 Euro tank as sample
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Sentient AI remains illegal but city-wide neural networks and intelligent IoT systems have become commonplace and the basic functions of many cities such as waste collection and self-driving transportation are operated by such systems. The budget for DE-rifles has been increased by 45% and a 3rd Gen prototype sniper rifle as been produced. DE-ARs are on the way with a beta prototype already in testing. Britain's nearly decade-long tangle with DEWs puts the country ahead in terms of experience. The Space Force is toying with the idea of renovating the Battle Stations to serve the dual purposes of kinetic bombardment as well as space-to-space mission launch sites. That way, large mission craft can be built and launched in space and do not have to escape Earth's atmosphere and can be entirely reusable. Smaller, cheaper supply ships will steadi;y load up such mission craft until they are ready to depart on a mission. By building specialised craft that operate exclusively in certain zones (Earth-to-space, space-to-space, station-to-station, etc). Britain's massive industrial seaweed farms in the North Sea as well as hundreds of acres of vertical farming in Scotland have made Britain a net food exporter for the first time in 200 years. Meanwhile, there is talk among British millionaire entrepreneurs to start a new multi-billion dollar partnership company between some of Britain's richest entrepreneurs, to mine asteroids. Cooperative partnerships may well be the solution to the multi-billion dollar startup costs of an asteroid mining business, but the payoff would be astronomical. Last but not least, the Conservative government loosens tax laws and provides various benefits and incentives to startups to attract foreign companies to relocate as well as to foster homegrown entrepreneurs.
 * Flag of Sweden.png Sweden: Karl XVIII Gustaf is coronated, as his father, Karl XVII Gustaf resigns from the throne on his birthday, 28th July 2080. As Sweden did not participate in any military conflicts since 1800s but as tension in the world rise the parliament decides unanimously that the military budget should be risen from 1.025% to 8.76%. Other spendings remain almost the same(by falling in decimals due to military budget). As of laws about the A-Dolls and T-Dolls will be legal only if they are working,the passing of the 402th law about AI confirms that there will be no salary for both types of androids. The finishing of the Stockholm-Gotebörg line brings in gigantic possibilities for the people of Sweden. The same route on a modern car would take around 2 hours and 56 minutes, but on a linear induction motors trains the same distance can be done in 38 minutes, that is faster than on an sub-sonic airplane. As we want to get even with closer with Finland we would like to build a line from Stockholm to Turku through Mariehamn [Finland response]. Our military will start employing the C-6 Milkyway a direct descendent of the C-5 Galaxy that is the main cargo transport of the Swedish army from 2020.The order on 300 British MBT'shas been placed [British response].

 * Flag of Finland.svg Finnish Diplomacy: Ummm, we already have a crossing connecting Sweden and Finland through Aland Islands since 2069. The crossing has also high-speed rail line.


 * Flag of Finland.svg Finland: There are currently only 50 to 80 T/A-Dolls inside the country. These AIs are currently working as either housekeepers for richer families or employees of several private companies. Finnish companies are still using older technology AIs for manufacturing jobs and mostly are still under human direct controls. The latest parliamentary election sees National Alliance winning the majority seats in the Parliament. Finland announces its intention for new Hyperloop project, such as HyperNord and HyperBaltica. HyperNord will connect Scandinavian countries with Finland and European mainland. Meanwhile, HyperBaltica will connect the Baltic region with the likes of Finland, Western Russia, and Poland.

''' The Brazilian Ghosts & BSOC Joint Task Force lights Caracas in flames as they capture the whole of the South American Assembly in Caracas, including the leader of the Federation, General Fernando Alvarez. The Federation collapses, with its armies scattered across its former territories, but the war is ended; the Federation is finished. '''

''' The U.S South Chinese Consulate is held hostage by a group of Communist terrorists. While the terrorists are quickly dispelled, it marks a realisation that Chinese Communist sympathisers still exist and in relatively large numbers, and with the Chinese Civil War largely dead, nations move to intercept influence from former Communist Party members. The Shanghai Confederation moves to begin occupying Northeast China. '''

''' The MARCH FOR LIFE in London and across Europe, organised by the European Libertarian Organisation, is marked by a sudden outburst of anti-conservative protestors, with thousands turning out in the streets of London to protest allegedly widening wage gaps triggered by the 'conservative party's reckless giving of commercial and industrial tax breaks', as they call it. Several startups move to France and Italy as the ELO encourages violence against local businesses. '''

''' The sister marches to the MFL in London, such as the ones in Rome, also attract attention. Italians take to the streets to protest their government's apparently completely inept handling of their own salaries, as Italy sees economic chaos attempting to figure out what exactly a 'maximum salary of $30,000' means. '''

''' In the US, the NBP - New Black Panthers, rise in the American South. They wage a war of terror against former members of the New Confederate States of America, with businessman Louis 'Lou' Marcano killed during a fundraiser for the White Power group. While they do not inflict much public harm, they begin to elicit the attention of the Federal Government. '''
 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: A large percentage of overseas Filipinos leave the United Kingdom and Italy due to the rising issues there, to find work in their home country or in other places like Montreal, Tokyo and Tunis. Meanwhile, Plaza Lacson, long gentrified has started it’s ambition to become the Times Square of Southeast Asia. Around 11 billboard spots and 1 LED screen have been built on the seven buildings that encircle the square, which have been old that they date from 2010s and beyond. We now are looking for companies that want to have an advertisement space [Mod Response]. We finish a large scale military base located west of Paete, Laguna. We have now opened two military equipment factories, located in Catanduanes and in Eastern Ilagan, respectively. It builds new tanks and warships. We release our new high tech warplanes, that will be in use for both transportation and sending aid to war torn destinations. We send money and food aid to devastated regions of Central and South America. We finally inaugurate an Emergency Broadcast System that will immediately activate during a direct threat, and more emergency sirens have been built outside urban areas, including in Samar, Leyte, Sulu, Ilocos Norte and Palawan. TropicalMart continues it's international expansion, now with 9 stores in Tunisia and 6 stores in Burkina Faso. It expands to Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia and Greece. The Day Everything Changed, a docudrama by Filipino News Group, pertaining to a scenario in which the country is heavily torn by an international war with WMDs, reaches record breaking levels of viewership. A revival of 90s to 2010s type music is noticed. Covers of "Partners in Crime" by Set it Off and "Bitch Lasagna" by PewDiePie apparently reach the Billboard Philippines Top 50 charts. The country also starts producing its own anime. After most arcade chains especially Timezone had closed down decades ago, a revival begins after the Toms World flagship arcade opens in Boy Scout Circle in Quezon City, with machines like Centipede, Street Fighter and Paperboy being available. The game/reality shows Fear Factor, Takeshis Castle and Family Feud premiered on November 2081. A study reveals unexpectably that Christmas, Halloween, Valentines and New Years Eve are barely celebrated anymore by most of the population and an increase of celebration in Holy Week, local festivals and Ramadan increase. In other news, Mount Makaturing in Lanao Del Sur erupts on December 28, producing one of the largest eruptions of the century, causing a mandatory evacuation of the tiny towns surrounding it. Pyrocrastic flows destroy the villages of Butig and Sultan Dumalondong. At least 29 deaths have been reported. A state of emergency is declared for the ARMM.

 * Flag of Italy.svg Italian Republic : Of course ! Even if the project is finished soon, help would not be denied.


 * European Libertarian Organisation: We declare a war on the reckless conservatives and liberals across Europe giving away money to lazy poor people that should be spent on the middle class! We daresay that that will end soon enough. We've organised the MFL to make sure that everyone remembers this: We are the party of rewarding and we will not tolerate our tax dollars being spent on this ridiculous idiocy. Sister marches also occur in Miami and Houston, which we are rather glad about.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia After 9 years of fighting, it appears that our Federation problems are at an end. 30,000 Australian troops are pulled out of South America, while the remaining 4000 in China are also recalled. A new battleship, HMAS Kelmscott and aircraft carrier, HMAS Curtin are completed with the final two battleships pushed back until 2082. The Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne Hyperloop is finished this year, connecting Australia’s two largest cities to it’s capital. (Secret) Australia tests a 20 kiloton nuclear device over the Ashmore and Cartier Islands (Mod Response/End Secret). Australian scientists attempt to design and build a breeder reactor, it will hopefully be finished in 2085. Australia tests a new form of sonic artillery, estimated to have a range of up to a kilometre and powerful enough to destroy a tank within 500m (Mod Response).
 * Australian Weapons Development Office: We did it sir, the sonic artillery that was proposed is a success and the tank used was absolutely destroyed! However, so was everything else within 500 metres of the weapon after firing.  We've had 14 personnel hospitalised so far, and the working prototype is destroyed as well.
 * Australian Department of Defense: The Ashmore and Cartier nuclear tests are successful. Nothing else to report except for a few fishermen who saw the mushroom cloud. Nothing to worry about, surely?
 * Maersk:We would like to do a route to Perth and Sydney from Nynäshamn and If we are lucky enough a stop in cape town [Australian/South African Response]


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: As EMPs continue to be worked on, one is built and a test on it is made. [Mod Response] The arranged referendum for the State of Siberia takes place as agreed upon. [Mod Response] Elections are held in September, with Valentin Balakhnichev running again against Marina Karaulov from the Yabloko Party. The Yabloko Party manages to make a comeback, including in regards to robot rights, and end up narrowly winning against the UFEP; and Marina Karaulov becomes president while Avgustin Danilin becomes prime minister. A proposal begins on overturning the ban of sentiment AI, which is to come to a vote in the government next year. A363, starting from Ozernovskiy, now reaches all the way to, and the highway begins to take an alternate direction, towards . Okhotsk Company releases a game for consoles featuring Hundred Stars Pro, Hundred Stars Pro: Golden Stage, and Hundred Stars Pro: Dark Nebula; and is also VR compatible.
 * Political Representative of the Siberian Populace: We vote, 64.3% to 26.8%, to be merged with Eastern Russia.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The European Libertarian Organization is declared as a terrorist group, after its supposed “declaration of war“ on the “reckless conservatives and liberals of Europe”, and the subsequent riots occuring. The few ELO assets in Tunisia are seized, and a travel ban is issued to high-ranking ELO members and their immediate families. The transition to the AIDS credit is almost complete, with a few stores, mostly in Tunis and Sfax, now refusing to accept the old Tunisian dinar. The AIDS credit is expected to be the only legal tender in Tunisia by 2085. In politics, after years of deadlock, a compromise is reached between the Conservatives and the SDC, recognizing the rights of A-dolls and other androids, while not giving them citizenship immediately; if an android wants Tunisian citizenship, they must apply for it, much like an immigrant. Hostile actions against the non-Muslim community in Tunisia based on their religion alone are also punishable by up to 5 years in prison. The death penalty is also officially abolished, though no one has been executed in Tunisia for several decades. In corporate matters, TropicalMart has entered into the highly-competitive battle for the most dominant convenience store chain in the country, with the retail chain already heavily entrenched in the suburbs west of Tunis (mainly Manouba and Mohammedia), as well as in Kebili, Tataouine, and Medeinine Governorates, mainly due to them being the first retail chain to open in the newly-livable areas in these governorates. This is helped by the Tunisian government’s apparent support of TropicalMart, with it inviting TropicalMart to set up an African headquarters in downtown Tunis [RESPONSE NEEDED]. The Tunis suburb of La Marsa has also become the tourist mecca of North Africa, due to its beaches, as well as its close proximity to the tourist haven of ancient Carthage, as well as Tunis-Carthage International Airport. Many hotels, bars, nightclubs, and casinos have opened there, and the area is beginning to attract regional attention for its nightlife. Habib Bourguiba International Airport, located near Tebourba, and 34 kilometers from downtown Tunis, is opened, after years of construction. In pop culture, early 21st century music has begun a resurgence, with a cover of “Lucid Dreams” by Juice WRLD reaching #1 on the Billboard Tunisia music chart in the fall and winter of 2081. The canal between the Mediterranean coast and the Chott el Djerid has been completed, and work begins on establishing a firm boundary of water levels, and using those future water levels to plan out and construct a canal linking the Chott el Djerid and the Chott el Gharsa. This development is expected to bring sizeable economic growth to inland portions of Central Tunisia, with the cities of Douz and Tozeur benefitting the most from this new development, due to their position on the coast of the new permanent water body, and newfound access to the Mediterranean. Assistance is also sent to fellow members of the Green Sahara Project, specifically Maghreb’s Saharan Lakes Project. In the African Infrastructure Project, the A1 highway has been finished as far as Kinshasa/Brazzaville, and the Trans-African Hyperloop commences construction. The Nujum Mulzama space rocket is also ready for launch, which will occur next year. Last, but not least, the Burj al-Amazigh begins construction in Tunis, with plans for it to be 1,956 meters tall. If realized, it will be the tallest building on Earth.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: Downtown Ouagadougou undergoes urban renewal, with trees planted along the sidewalks to provide shade, as well as adding benches and trash cans, and expanding the sidewalks. Bike lanes are also added across downtown. These new developments have led to the gentrification of the downtown area, with several hotels, office towers, and luxury condominiums constructed. The Ouagadougou Bus Depot is constructed, and several bus lanes are laid out, providing cheap bus transport in downtown and the inner suburbs. Slums across the nation also continued to be cleared and replaced with public housing, and in some cases, parks. Portions of the Burkinabe curriculum are also altered, with the most notable of these alterations being an addition of English as an optional language course from 5th grade upwards. New legislation also prohibits discrimination in schools and public places based on race (incouding A-Dolls), gender, and/or religion. A plan to install free WiFi nationwide is also launched, with most of Ouagadougou having already been connected. The Green Sahara project continues in the far north, with the majority of land in Burkina Faso now fit for agriculture, the focus switches to creating artificial forests to prevent re-desertifcation. Retail and fast-food joints are invited into Burkina Faso [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Maersk :We would like to do a route to Tunis from  Nynäshamn [Tunisian Response]

 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngDemocratic Republic of Brazil: We are happy that finally the War is Over and we can now move on to more relevant matters. We ask the remaining Forces to Surrender as there is nothing more to be gained by unnecessary Bloodshed[Mod Response Needed]. We ask the combatants of the war to a peace Conference which we would like to have in Rio. We want to know the countries that are Positive towards this Location[Player Response Needed]. The High Ranking Generals and Officers will be put on Trial for Crimes against Humanity. We ask UN to set a place and date for this trial [Mod Response Needed]. Now that the war is over, we will be focusing more on Rebuilding our Country Financially and making it more stable.
 * Federation Forces Representative: We agree to the bloodless surrender...
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The construction stages of Aoudaghost are about 72% complete, with efforts accelerated due to the completion of nearby rail lines. In preparation for its grand opening, advertisements for properties and such within the city are put up in major cities, and appealed for their establishment overseas in countries with optential buyers. The shining crown of Aoudaghost, the Oasis Obelisk, a skyscraper standing at almost 666 metres tall, overshadows the rest of the city even though it is only half completed. Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ansari formally announces the opening of the nation of Maghreb to the world, promoting international trade and opening ports to western nations in what is regarded as the "tahrir kabir", or "Great Liberation". Western media is also allowed to be circulated through the nation, however this is only seen in major cities so far. Rising arms manufacturer Atlas Sync Systems announces their attempt to create the world's first electrolaser based direct energy weapon, dubbed the Directed Ion Charge Catalyst as a working name. The government intends to fund their development, as well as joining the Direct Energy Weapons race officially. The Green Sahara Project has left large portions of the North Sahara fertile, with an added 700 square kilometres this year. Work has begun on the Saharan Lakes Project, with digging machinery displacing large amounts of soil.
 * Maersk :We would like to do a route to  Aoudaghost from Nynäshamn  [Maghreb Response]
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The decision has been made to modify existing Battle Stations to include more launch/dock areas to facilitate future missions in space. A mission to the Moon is planned for 2085. Meanwhile, at a massive privately sponsored space-tech convention, 13 of Britain's richest 50 entrepreneurs announce the formation of a partnership company named Mundus-Galactica (or Mundus for short), at an initial valuation of 200 billion pounds. The corporation is immediately put onto the stock market with the total valuation reaching 350 billion pounds by the end of the year. Building on commercially available space-faring technology, as well as taking advantage of the British Space Authority's recent guarantee to share information and technical expertise with any British space-tech corporation that applies and passes certain criteria, Mundus-Galactica announces its goal of mining its first asteroid by 2084. Mundus-Galactica has been granted permission to to operate the British Space Station (it is little used by the government now that Battle Station serve the purpose of space station in addition to their military functions) under the condition that they build on and improve the station to modern cutting-edge levels. In other news, the British Hyperloop system is nearing completion. Being much smaller than the American system, hyperloops can be built between cities that may be considered less important than most of America's cities that are served by hyperloops. Meanwhile, there appears to be a massive surge in British investment in British Liberian manufacturing companies, possibly due to investor confidence in the economic health of British Liberia leading up to its release from occupation in a half-dozen years from now. [Secret] A 4th Generation DE-sniper rifle has been produced, with estimates saying live combat testing could begin next year, the only question is where? DE-ARs have entered the beta prototype stage, but a model ready for combat testing is still easily 5 years away at least. Last but not least, secret research to produce meat products from seaweed conducted by Harry White's Sea Salad seaweed corporation is proving fruitful in prototype. [End Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The Secretary of State has outlined the official requests of the United States federal government concerning the war in South America. Boudon Tower begins construction in Los Angeles, California, with plans to be 2019 meters tall (6624 feet), a mixed use tower. The Intercontinental finishes construction this year, connecting East and West. A ceremony is held in St. Louis, Missouri, to signify the connection of the two lines. ELO sister marches in the US are allowed, as long as the marches take place in open spaces, and with some police supervision. The IVory Coast Federation is released as an independent nation, part of ATO's West African branch, with Yamoussoukro currently going under a modern renewal project, renovating the streets. An extensive tourism campaign by the city labels it the "Jewel of West Africa", setting its sights with competition with both Accra and Ouagadougou. However, the US will keep some troops in the Ivory Coast, for defense purposes. The Gold Coast Hyperloop Line begins construction in Accra, connecting it with the nearby city of Tema. Atlanta, Georgia is defeated off of its spot as the 3rd most populous city in America by Chicago, who regains that position. Chicago is quickly expanding and growing, due to its ample water supply, as dryer cities in the Sun Belt suffer, despite the Global Cooling phenomenon. Speaking of global cooling, an extensive scientific committee is formed to decipher why global temperatures slowly decrease with every passing year. [Mod Response] The United States Congress passes the 2081 Internet of All Things Act, aiming to connect most devices and electronic objects to the Internet for efficiency and data collection, by making it easier to do such things, and deregulating regulations forbidding companies from connecting some devices to the Internet, for privacy reasons. Tech and Internet companies, which heavily lobbied for the bill, cheer in their Silicon Valley thrones, while privacy watchdog groups sigh. Autonomous driving, with most of their problems solved, become the default setting for most cars, as a new Pew research poll shows only 38% of drivers regularly drive manually. Eventually, we hope to connect most cars to separate, localized networks, to increase efficiency on cars. Nevertheless, we experiment with "high speed highways", that allow self driving cars to go up to 90 miles per hour on a freeway, provided they are Class 2 (manufactured after 2070) and have never had certain parts and apparatuses of the car connected to the Internet. Superhighways (as these are called), are being built on a stretch of road from Fort Worth to Dallas. Project Droste continues, as mining begins on Lunar Base Penrose, with most of the necessary robotic equipment being launched last year on the Mississippi Mk II. We hope to mine large quantities of several minerals and ores, but most important Helium-3, which we have special equipment dedicated two (which are being developed this year and will be launched next year), which we hope to use as a powerful energy source. NASA also beings plans for asteroid mining. The ZEUS is now in a beta stage, being shown in propaganda videos from the US Army, as a direct energy weapon (which we started work on loooong ago). Many citizens are surprised, considering the US has been relatively quiet on the world stage about energy weapons such as this. Virgin Galactic, with its airline business suffering, announces its plans to begin lunar and asteroid mining next year, rivaling both the US government and space conglomerate SpaceX.
 * District of Accra: The First Annual Culture Convention (FACC) is held in the Accra Convention Center this year, with fans from all around the city and surrounding countries to flock to the area, which we have meticulously pleaded several large entertainment conglomerates to show exhibits for. It rivals the size of San Diego-Comic-Con, which shut down in 2037. Financial companies build their West African offices in Accra (see previous turn), as the Accra Stock Exchange is opened up, with 12 Accran and Ghanan companies being listed, a successor to the former BRVM. As Accra claims the title of West Africa's financial capital, with the Port of Accra being constructed this year, and we hope to import and export tons upon tons of materials and products. The AI Revolution Project is being implemented, as we hope to implement new AI in our parks and facilities. Drones frequently buzz over the busy city, with some from law enforcement. These are not the plastic, cheap, drones as part of the drone craze of the 2010s, but these are somewhat smaller, and mainly used as cameras and trackers. Water fountains that seek water from the humidity in the air are also implemented in public places, as XAfrica, a Ghana banking and financial company builds their new headquarters in Accra, at 410 meters tall, the building will be the tallest in Accra.
 * United States Congressional Committee on Global Cooling and other Temperature Fluctuations: We begin research into why such temperature changes have occured.
 * Maersk :We would like to do a route to New York City and to Port of Accra from  Nynäshamn [U.SResponse]
 * American Response: We accept.

''' With no peace settlement yet in South America, the Amazonian Mafia begins acting as they wish, sacking New Brazilia and setting up criminal empires in the city. The same goes for Belem, St Georges in French Guiana, and other cities across the Amazon. While they have yet to engage in violence against Brazilian troops, it appears that time may be coming soon. '''

''' The actions of the European Libertarian Organisation inspire minor populist movements across Europe, but the ELO's supporters quickly fizzle out. However, Italian protestors remain remarkably persistent, claiming fraud for the referendum that put the $30,000 salary limit in place, its ambiguity continuing to be frustrating. Italian companies move out en masse, many taking up residence in the US, Philippines, Taiwan and Ukraine. '''

'''The Second Chinese Civil War officially comes to an end, with new nations appearing in and around China.

'''In recent news, Australia has been accused of testing nuclear weapons somewhere in the Indian Ocean after rumours flared up on social media. It is noticed that most of the people accusing the country of such activities are based around Eastern Indonesia and Polynesia, with apparent eyewitnesses leading the nuclear witch hunt. No official news platforms or governments have supported the statement, nor have they commented on the several photos taken as well as a video, albeit on an old iPhone 14.'''


 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: We began continuing our work on space technology, on several facilities across Negros Occidental where Philippines Space Agency's main headquarters are located. We also request to build a small military base on Papua New Guinea, but we will make sure to use a convenient but uninhabited island. [Mod Response] In Metro Manila, barely any construction of skyscrapers and lack of urban aesthetic has defined the area since the mass construction of tenements, public housing and apartments to accommodate residents. However, the area along EDSA, which once had former skyscrapers from business districts visible, is being revived again, planned to look a bit similar to what Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai used to be. The Intel Center is completed on EDSA near Cubao intersection, with 99 floors, with an underground mall connecting to MRT and containing retailers like Dolce&Gabanna, Gucci, Mikimoto, J.C Penney, as well as slow fashion movement boutiques. Tenants of the Intel Center include Discord, Philippine Port Authority and Bank of the Philippines. It is now the tallest building of the Philippines, and four other mixed use buildings have been completed along EDSA. Meanwhile, we officially confirm that we will not believe the allegations against Australia, however, we will take appropriate action once it is proven true. We plan to establish a new embassy for Malaysia-Singapore. Phase Two of the PhilHyperloop is finished, now connecting up to Tacloban Station. The country's longest ever sea bridge project, connecting Iloilo to Bacolod, has been finished, containing a suspension bridge. Paranaque-based startup company Nihonium has tested 20th century looking cars which are actually flying, in a dummy highway system near Munoz, Nueva Ecija, and had gone successful.
 * Flag of Papua New Guinea.svg Papua New Guinea: While we dislike militarism, we trust that the Filipino government will do its utmost to stay out of conflict and thus give the Philippines access to an island.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: In the 2082 General election, the Centrist party wins 79 seats, the Libertarians 45 and the minor parties 27. This puts Prime Minister McKelly back in power. After quite a bit of argument, the Australian government decides that, in order to avoid a situation like the one with the German government and A-Dolls, Australia must come clean. Yes, Australia did test a 20 kiloton nuclear device over the Ashmore and Cartier Islands late last year. This shocks much of the Australian public. Questions begin to be asked, is is a good idea to bring Australia into the nuclear game? How long has this project been going on for? One resident of Warburton in Western Australia demands that the PM comes out and states clearly that the government knew for a fact that not a single person was in the blast radius, the PM does this. Why would you think that we would ever do something like this where people could be harmed (Cough, Cough). Due to this Project wattle is halted for now. Other projects, however are completed this year. Battleships HMAS Byron Bay and HMAS Fitzroy are unveiled, and Manus Island now has room for 150,000 people and residents are encouraged to come from any Oceanic or South-East Asian nations, it is portrayed as a paradise for all who live there, and a visa to stay there is only one quarter the fee that a visa on the mainland would be. In the outside world Australia offers 10 billion dollars to the reconstruction of South America, more support will be given if necessary. After the successful landing on the Moon, Australia plans more manned missions, and hopes to establish a colony there as soon as possible. Australia continues to work on directing the sonic artillery and making it more accurate.

 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: In the midterm elections, some are disappointed with the results, showing an NLP supermajority in the House of Representatives and the near complete dissolution of the Centrist Alliance between the COTU, Libertarians, and the Blue Dogs, as many foresee a severe gridlock between the two partisan giants: the New Leaf Party and its allies in the Democracy Caucus, and the American Freedom Caucus, consisting of the Conservative Party and the New Republican Party. Two fringe parties (The Black Panther and the Anarchist Party [which is associated with the ELO]) have made headways, both capturing one seat in the Texas and Georgia State Legislature. We are heavily shocked by the recent revelations from Australia concerning nuclear weapons, demanding an explanation. We firmly ask Australia stop all research on nuclear weapons, and disband any working nuclear weapons, especially since Australia is a ratifier of the NPT. [Australian Response] Concerning the events unfolding in India, the CIA launches an investigation, as a travel advisory is put by the DoS. ZEUS, entering a production phase, is supposed to be a mid-range direct energy weapon, and while certainly effective, packing quite a punch, is energy draining. We hope to implement it in the US Army by 2085. The Second Amendment is revised to only include the right to bear ballistic weapons to the general public, meaning that civilians may not own energy weapons. In New York City, Staten Island Revisted is an ongoing project by the city of New York to transform the effective industrial dump into a thriving organ of the city. In Heartland Village, the Staten Island Mall is transformed into a sprawling public space promenade, leading to Freshkills Park, also undergoing renovation to modernize the area. Similar projects are underway in other parts of Staten Island, and while the renovations itself aren't particularly interesting, the way they are being quickly constructed is. Using an artificial intelligence network named BuildI, which uses an intricate computer model designed by humans. It then finds the fastest, safest, and cheapest way to build that model in any given area. If a problem arises, it quickly calculates the fastest, safest, and cheapest way to solve it, and models that solution inside a computer to see the results, with variables like rain, storms, just to be sure. It goes through tens of thousands of different solutions, and picks the one with the best result, and human supervisors have to approve it (just to make sure it looks aesthetically pleasing). If BuildI finds no solution that proves satisfactory, it simply tries again. This artificial intelligence, while in its early stages, is already slashing construction times and costs, although BuildI does occasionally cause mistakes. Still, the company behind BuildI (USeek Corp.) is already mildly successful, with offices in New York and Chicago, and helping build the Bourbon Tower in Los Angeles. The company plans to expand into developing countries, to exploit the vast amounts of growth and construction going on in these places, with plans to participate in some projects in Cambodia, Vietnam, Ghana, Tunisia, the Philippines, and northern Korea. Already, in July, at USeek's IPO, it quickly rose to around 21.73 per share, and with flush startup money, the new company is ambitious. Into more governmental and economic matters, the dollar drops against the Euro and Pound in early December, before bouncing up, as the Dow and S&P drop, despite growth in counterparts in Europe and Japan, causing investors to worry, as many blame it the economic policies of the liberal President and Congress. Project Droste continues, as Lunar Base Penrose is 70% sustainable due to power needs being met by solar mirrors, and most food for the small number of humans being produced by a small vertical farm. Most needs are from water or backup supplies, which come in regular shipments from Earth (every 3 months). Lunar mining on the surface begins, as we search for Helium-3, which we hope to find nearby. [Mod Response] We hope to use reusable rockets to allow what is collected on Penrose to come back to Earth. We ask Britain to reunite Monrovia with the rest of Liberia, to facilitate the independence of Liberia next year. [British Response] We also NEED a report from the Congressional Committee on Global Cooling and other Temperature Fluctuations about the causes for Global Cooling THIS YEAR [Mod Response].
 * Flag of Australia.svgAustralian diplomacy We have halted all research on nuclear weapons. Unfortunately fears that terrorists could exploit a poorly disposed weapon prevents us from disbanding our current stockpile, on the other hand, we only have three weapons.
 * District of Accra: WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP
 * Congressional Committee on Global Cooling and other Temperature Fluctuations: We suspect that unnaturally heavy sunspot activity in the sun has led to a decrease in temperatures, but we will continue to research on this topic.
 * Bbc-logo-black-and-white.png British Broadcasting Corporation: Reporting from Rajshahi, Bangladesh, where we can see a stream of refugees fleeing India. While we currently have no reports of the calamity that has occurred in India right now, we can confirm that chaos is enveloping the most populous country in the world, evidenced by the thousands of refugees currently en route to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and Pakistan. It appears much of the government is dead, as nearly all electronic communication has stopped. From Bangladesh, it is possible to see fire and columns of smoke on the Indian side of the border, as thousands pour out of the country, escaping their former home. As India's neighbors close their borders, the United Nations has decreed this "one of the largest humanitarian crisises in world history". We will update you we get more information.

The Nujum Mulzama space rocket is launched from Ksar Daghara at 9:30 am, on March 21, 2082 we would like to congratulate our friends and we hope in future we can do collaborative missions
 * TV4 breaking news: After Indian's transmit leaked,we need to take a decision said Karl XVII Gustav and the decision will be said right now,We as the Kingdom of Sweden will not accept any refugees from India,A travel ban is issued to all flights to or from the subcontinent of India aswell.
 * Tunisian Response: Agreed.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The Nujum Mulzama space rocket is launched from Ksar Daghara at 9:30 am, on March 21, 2082, with the crew of the spacecraft consisting of two Tunisians, two Maghrebis, and a Nigerian. This event marks the first successful space launch by an African power, and notable milestones, such as the first spacewalk, are achieved in the 17 days the spacecraft was in space. The AIDSSA has now focused its attention into potential Moon and Mars landings, as well as building rovers to study other planets. Meanwhile, a flat travel ban is issued for the entire subcontinent of India, except for flights bringing in refugees (who will be taken in and settled in the new Green Sahara towns, after thorough inspection to make sure they have not been tainted by whatever has occured there). Speaking of the Green Sahara Project, funds and technical help is sent to our fellow Saharan brethren, and the Chott el Djerid is around 50% full. Thus, construction of the canal linking the Chott el Djerid and the Chott el Gharsa has begun, with it expected to be complete sometime between 2085 and 2087. The Trans-African Highway is finished up to Luanda, and rail on the Trans-African Hyperloop has been laid out to Agadez, in Maghrebi Niger. The beginnings of the Second National Infrastructure Overhaul have also begun ro be inplemented, calling for greater emphasis on buses, trams, and bike lanes in major cities, as well as linking smaller towns with populations in the thousands to the Tunisian conventional rail line. New lanes on highways dedicated to self-driving cars, with no speed limit, have begun construction in Greater Tunis and Greater Sfax, and is expected to relieve rush hour congestion. A startup company based in Bizerte, AutoBina, has begun to be present in many of the construction projects ongoing either inside Tunisia or funded by Tunisia, with it trying to find high-tech, efficient, and inexpensive solutions to construction problems. The company has formulated plans to use the American BuildI technology to aid in construction efforts [RESPONSE NEEDED]. The Burj Al-Amazigh continues construction. Lastly, a controversial bid in the South American Peace Agreements, calling for a small portion of land on the coast of Venezuela to be temporarily leased to Tunisia for construction of a small military base and port, ostensibly to help in peacekeeping efforts in South America, as well as for trade purposes, has become a controversial subject, with many claiming that Tunisia is meddling in the affairs of nations which they should not be interfering with, while others praise the current administration for expanding Tunisian (and AIDS) influence into other continents.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: A complete travel ban is issued to the entire Indian subcontinent, although refugees are allowed in after an extremely thorough screening and vetting process. Several towns are connected to the national rail system, and the A15 highway, connecting the northern tier of the country, commences construction. Several bike highways connecting the Greater Ouagadougou metropolitan region have also been constructed, with the bike highway conceot modeled after the Netherlands, This idea is planned to expand into other major cities like Kaya and Fada-Ngourma in the next couple of years, and into rural areas by the end of the decade. An expansion of Ouagadougou Internation Airport is commisioned, adding a new terminal (separating domestic and international flights), as well as a second runway. Urban renewal and slum clearance projects are also continued. Cigarettes are now deemed illegal, although recreational marijuana is still legal.
 * USeek Corporation: We will allow Bizerte to use our BuildI technology in projects in Tunisia for a small fee, however due to this, we have filed multiple patents in Tunisia concerning our BuildI technology.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the alarming broadcasts from India, and the ensuing massive refugee crisis, a blanket travel ban is issued over the Indian subcontinent, and as of now, any Indian nationals are barred from entering the country and those already inside are placed under surreptitious surveillance. At the same time, the British Isles is put into temporary lockdown with anti-ballistic missile systems activated nation-wide and the cyberforce out on high alert to protect against a possible cyber attack. Military installations world-wide are put on high-alert and the British base in Tibet send a squadron of SAS commandos into India to investigate. MI6 agents in India are also ordered to report on the crisis. [Mod Response] Meanwhile, Mundus-Galactica has begun preliminary test mining of the asteroid belt, though this is experimental and certainly not commercial. Meanwhile, the Space Force launches a mission to the Moon with 15 crew members. They set up a semi self-sustaining habitat with 70% of food grown in vertical farms and 80% of water recycled. It is planned for this habitat to expand with each successive mission. [Secret] The main purpose of this mission is to experiment with mining for Helium-3. [/Secret]
 * MI6: Sir... everything seems alright? New Delhi is relatively intact, as well as most Western Indian cities - but East India? Good lord, it looks like a scene from hell itself... we suspect that there has been a severe AI malfunction in Western India, and possibly rebeliious deviance.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: With the State of Siberia joining the nation, several new federal subjects are established, based on the former subdivisions of the State of Siberia. The National Chamber and House of Representatives are expanded to accommodate the addition of Siberia, and many Siberian politicians are elected to the positions. Several new highway and railway proposals are made as well as part of plans to increase transport in Siberia as well as the Far East. A few major airports in Siberia are also expanded upon, as the reconstruction continues. Meanwhile the EMP projects are ditched, and the military budget is cut by 2.37% and is moved towards infrastructure and the like. A hyperloop is proposed but is turned down and is deemed too costly and poses a major risk, taking note of the 13th parallel and paramilitary groups from about a decade ago. Meanwhile a proposal to establish an advisory speed limit, which would be limited to highways; and similar to the . After several revisions, it is passed, though the new law is only limited to the more southern areas of the nation; while allowed in the northern areas of the country during the spring and summer times when there isn't ice nor snow conditions on the road; along with other adjustments taking into account of the climate overall. The vote to overturn the ban on sentiment AI is passed after a narrow vote; and are subsequently given rights and allow to travel within and through the nation. Scepticism continues in several areas on the vote, though some end up giving the sentiment AI a chance, while some other citizens are shaky. With the situation in India looking bad, cyber security and the military are on alert; however the nation opens up to Indian refugees; and pledges to help out India in times of crisis. Several East Russian Intelligence agents are sent to India to see what exactly is going on, and also hopes to reach out to whatever remains of the government. [Mod Response] Meanwhile the casino business continues to expand, with two in construction in Yakutsk and another two in Vladivostok, and plans are made to open three in Khabarovsk. A few new cover versions under Artyom Inc. are released, including Brand New Theater! (765 MilStars) by Winterland; and a cover that is from a song outside Russia and Japan, and also not from a video game; Disco Inferno (The Trammps) by Polyarnaya Zvezda; and the latter two becoming a hit in the nation, particularly the Far East area.
 * Flag of India.svg Indian Government: We have no idea what is going on! We lost all contact with Western India earlier and the Indian army hasn't reported in hours! Everything that borders Bangladesh is cutting off as I speak! There are firewalls and electronic jamming devices all across the border that we didn't set up - something is going on and it's insane!
 * Flag of Poland.pngPoland: Current President Alexsy Litorbeck begins to try and fulfill his campaign promise of a united West Slavic Federation, by appealing to the Czech Republic and Slovakia for the formation of a customs union between the three nations. [Mod Response Required] Construction begins on a hyperloop network between Gdansk, Warsaw, Lublin, Krakow, and Sikorski (A renamed Kaliningrad). This will begin to replace our extremely outdated train system. The Polish military also begins to see modernization, at a slower rate, with the introduction of some modern weaponry. We ask the governments surrounding India to send refugees to Poland to fill the expected large labor shortage due to the large construction projects. [Mod Response Required] Due to the expected influx of refugees, large apartment complexes begin to be bought out by the government for resettlement purposes.
 * Flag of Czech Republic.png Czechia and Flag of Slovakia.svg Slovakia: We agree to a future customs union; but it is to be set up in 2084, after we get several issues in the way sorted out first.
 * Flag of Pakistan.png Pakistan: Ah, we have - what to say - compassionate nation! Yes, we will send Indian refugees from Northern India your way! Thank you very much.

2083
''' India sees a massive disaster. Indian Army SJDs (Signal Jamming Devices) are found set up along the Indian border despite there not having been any previous sign of such devices, with almost no communications getting in or out of India. Meanwhile, East India is in chaos. Bangladesh sees immediate UN support following a huge inflow of Indian refugees from West Bengal, and riots are seen across Indian states bordering Bangladesh; as well as Meghalaya and Tripura. This is worsened by what appears to be the largest living deviant AI in human history leading what appears to be an insurrectionist movement in India. '''

'''Western Russia inches closer to winning the EAR with the release and adoption of the KP-82, an energy-based submachine gun with far faster recharge speeds of 8.45 seconds and more shots, 50, in its specialised magazine. South China enters a partnership with Egypt to begin developing a joint energy firearm as well.'''

''' On the 50th Anniversary of the American evacuation from China, South China sends a request to the United States for a military pact against its neighbour, the Republic of China. The two countries may no longer be at war, but it appears that their rivalries have yet to calm down, with both eyeing South America for some unique power-projection; South China clamouring for support from Brazil, while the ROC begins to support other parties in Venezuela and Colombia.

Whatever peace there is must come soon, as millions more may soon starve. '''

 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia The Australian government sends one million dollars worth of food to South America, and offers humanitarian help to both South America and India. Australia offers to take refugees from India and nations surrounding it, these will be temporarily held at South Wellesley Island Refugee Centre or at a newly constructed centre on Dirk Hartog Island. (Mod Response). But seeing an opportunity Australia offers for 50,000 refugees to be rehomed on Manus Island. Altogether around a quarter of a million refugees can be taken now, though that number could be expanded in upcoming years. Australia’s space program is looking into a second moon mission that could pave the way for an Australian Lunar Base. But a definite project is the Darwin probes which will be sent to both Mars and Europa to look for signs of life. These are expected to be completed 2088-2090 though the Europa probe will take 2 years to reach its destination. (Secret) After the discovery of the deviant AI in India, Australia begins to look into possible ways of destroying such AI if it becomes necessary. Currently though we have no way to test our designs (End Secret). The nuclear test outcry fades back to a dull roar inside Australia, though the public are understandably a bit annoyed. Testing something not yet thought of, Australian scientists working on cellular regeneration try something new and alter the genetics of unborn mice so that they will heal much faster than usual when the grow up. Results are not expected until next year
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: We gladly accept Australian assistance- er -please get vessels or aircraft here soon, they've- They've broken through the port entry! Get here as fast as you can!
 * Flag of Poland.png Poland : We fully legalize artificial intelligence, and consider them citizens of the nation, granting them those rights. We allow androids who are being persecuted in nations which still deny them rights to come to Poland if they will work for the betterment of the nation. However, if they commit a crime, such as theft or murder, they shall be dismantled. With the refugee labor coming from India, we are able to speed up the building of the hyperloop network, which is now expected to be finished in 2095, with the first line from Gdansk to Warsaw to be operational within 2 years. The military continues it's modernization program, in which they have committed to only contracting Polish-based companies for the production of new weapons, putting back the time-frame till 2093 for when the military is going to be "fully modern".
 * Flag of Poland.png Poland (Addendum) : President Alexsy Litorbeck makes a speech on the legalization of Artificial Intelligence. "We mustn't persecute these AIs just for what some of their brethren have done. If we should, then why didn't we lynch every German after World War II? Suffice to say, one being, Human or AI, should be tried for their individual crimes, and not punish the entirety. Fear breeds hatred. We must show that we do not fear these AI, so we shall show there is a place for both on this planet." The speech is met with applause from AI rights activists and skeptics alike inside Poland, however the Indian migrants and hard-line members of the AI-Decommission Committee are extremely skeptical of this notion. Cyber-security is increased in the midst of the Indian Crisis, mostly manned by AI that have resettled in Poland to escape ever increasing scrutiny in the outside world.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Funds and food aid are sent to the nations of South America to avert a famine there, and the Tunisian government also retracts its demand for a military base on the coast of Venezuela, as this sticking point is a contributor to stalling peace efforts. Knowing the situation in India to a greater extent, we allow all Indian refugees in, with only minor checks for their identity, their affiliation with any terrorist group, and a search for comtraband firearms and other weapons. These refugees are settled in the newly-built towns of the newly-greenified Tunisian Sahara in southern Tunisia. Meanwhile, surveillance is heavily increased in the Tunisian A-Doll community, to make sure they do not communicate with the Indian AI rebellion. Cybersecurity is also increased. Meanwhile, immigration restrictions are loosened for intellectuals of other nations, in order to entice them to Tunisia. Using BuildI technology, the construction time and cost for the Chott el Djerid-Chott el Gharsa Canal has been cut in half. BuildI technology has also managed to accelerate the construction of the Trans-African Highway and Trans-African Hyperloop, with the former being finished up to Windhoek, and the latter having been extended to Kano, Nigeria. Autonomous driver lanes, as they have now become known to the general public, have been implemented in portions of the A1 and A4 highways, in the Greater Tunis Metropolitan Area. The Port of Tunis is also expanded, with the expansions, once done in 2089, expanding the amount of cargo the port is able to handle by 175%. The Burj Al-Amazigh also continues construction. President Zinadine also pledges to “send Africans to the Moon by the end of the decade”, validating the potential of an AIDSSA moon landing in the near future. On a lighter note, the Tataouine Governorate has begun to adopt a touristic identity more intertwined with the Star Wars franchise, with the tourist slogan of the governorate now being “Experience Tatooine Right Here on Earth”, and old filming sets of iconic locations on the Star Wars planet of Tatooine, left to rot in the desert after filming of the Star Wars movies, have been refurbished and have become tourist attractions. The government of the Tataouine Governorate has also asked Lucasfilm for permission to open an official Star Wars Store in Tataouine Hyperloop Station [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: With the recent AI takeover of India and the resulting civil war, human supremacist extremist groups have started to commit hate crimes against the A-Doll minority of Burkina Faso (numbering around 155,000), with the most prominent case being a lynching of 9 A-Dolls in the town of Tenkodogo. The Burkinabe Government has arrested the perpetrators, and has sent signals that any other situations of intolerance like these will be punished. Anti-AI sentiment in the nation also begins to pick up, causing the first major political rift in the country. The slum clearance projects in Greater Ouagadougou are for the most part done, with the vast majority of people now living in residences with access to basic amenities such as electricity, water, education, healthcare, and the Internet. However, these efforts in smaller towns and cities continues. Downtown Ouagadougou continues gentrification, with the skyline now made of office blocks, luxury condominiums, and 5 star hotels; and the average Ouagalais has been pushed to the suburbs, causing ever-increasing urban sprawl. Already, the suburbs of Ouagadougou stretch out from downtown with a radius of approximately 20 kilometers. In our ever-going effort to entice foreign companies to Burkina Faso, we place a bid to put Discord’s West African servers in Ouagadougou [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects such as the new A15 highway, and exoansion of the train network, have continued, and autonomous driver lanes have been implemented on the Ouagadougou Ring Highway (A230).
 * Lucasfilms, A Division of Disney: We accept, however we are wary of the fact that relatively few Star Wars fans still exist, despite its resurgence in the 2070s, and the fact few are likely to travel to a far off desert in Tunisia. We hope to turn a profit at the store in Tataouine.

We have long saw this nation as an oppressor - from the ancient Indians to now the androids produced by Germany, "A-Dolls", this nation has been a cause for world harm. From its role in Africa, the Middle East, India, and especially to the rest of the artificial intelligence community - we take it in our hands to, as the meatbags say "Let it rip."[Mod and Player Response Needed]
 * Flag of India.svg India (Humanity): WIP
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: While we are surprised at the Committee's recent findings, it is peculiar that sunspots have been the cause of Global Cooling, as the grand minimum of the sun that started in around ~2020 already ended around 2070, meaning that the global cooling phenomenon should have faded by now, and especially since a decrease in solar radiation would barely cause a dent in the Anthropocene (man-made) warming. Nevertheless, chaos envelops the nation as the US government abruptly shuts down all publicly funded AI projects, making 25% of the federal government vacant, as we slowly rehire workers we had just laid off a few years ago. The US Navy begins regular patrolling in the Indian Ocean, to possibly combat a waking AI threat in India. As our computer systems could be compromised, we are forced to use older models and even construct new ones. The threat of cyber warfare seems inevitable, as confusion envelops the country. The polarization occurring over the last few years climaxes as two twin protests, one organized by a conservative group and one organized by a liberal one, occur in Washington D.C. Both protests are protesting the "establishment in DC", the "trampling of individual rights", and how we ought to end this mess by becoming a liberal/conservative. In other news, to lessen the pain inflicted on India's neighbors, Indian refugees are allowed into the country, with little screening. We, of course, accept South China's proposal for an alliance. In other news, USNews shuts down its print newspaper, making the New York Times the last print newspaper in the United States, who publishes monthly. We offer the North American Standardization Proposal, to make one patent office for NAU memebers (Canada, US, Mexico), make a single copyright system, and of course, make visa free travel across three member states. As part of the NASP, at airports, there would be a separate line created for other members of the NAU (in our case, Canada and Mexico), and some other minor proposals, such as changing the color of all three passports to navy blue, digitizing some information, and more open borders on the US-Mexican border (considering Mexico's rapid modernization over the 21st century and the decrease of crime since 1990). As part of NASP, the United States will switch over to the metric system. [Mod Response from Canada and Mexico] As USeek announces plans to launch TransPortI, a new AI model based off of BuildI, Alphabet swoops in and quickly buys the company for $8.8 billion 2019 USD ($60.2 billion ameros).  Boubon Tower's is expected to be finished in around 2084, considering the new BuildI technology has helped construction speed greatly. In Miami, the first real track of automated highway is built, with a "recommended speed" of 80 mph, while the actual speed limit is 100 mph. The new automated highway is decreed Superway 10.
 * Accra: The new Gold Coast Hyperloop begins to be built, using BuildI technology, its construction speed will be cut in half, expanding Accra's influence across the Gold Coast. The Grand Accran Amphitheater is built, which uses revolutionary new technology to stimulate smell, and using specialized and sensitive sensors, a user can actually "feel" certain emotions, which in reality is just rushes of certain biochemicals. Due to these new inventions, developed by American inventors, and patented in multiple countries, the Grand Accran Amphitheater is a "grand" success, attracting thousands of moviegoers hoping to watch old classics with a new, personalized, touch. Tourism also increases as our new international airport finishes renovation, with a new, automated and efficient public transportation network, which we hope to fully implement across Accra by next year. BuildI helps build up certain projects in Accra, with explicit permission from USeek. The Accra Stock Exchange does relatively well this year, and the Accran Financial Institute is being built on the outskirts of the city to teach the bright minds of Accra western financial and economic models and ideals. The Nuclear Fusion Reactor Plant of Accra is being designed, as well as the Solar Production Institution, which well help make Accra be self-sufficient on power. A special automation highway is being planned, for self-driving cars only, which is planned to go between Tome and Accra. The Port of Accra is complete, and is sprawling. Accra is certainly the crown of West Africa, as our aggressive tourism campaign attracts those from Europe, Australia, and especially the US. People with American, Canadian, or Mexican passports can enter the country quicker, with much fewer checks. Grand Hyatt Hotels is petitioned to launch a sprawling resort in Accra, considering the swaths of tourists and tax benefits for any American company wishing to build in Accra. [Mod Response]

 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: A budget increase goes towards cyber security as the nation is further worried about the events of India; and refugees from the nation continue to be accepted. [Secret] Ironically enough, the EMP projects are restarted as a precaution. Bunkers begin to be built as well across the nation. [End Secret] Former President Valentin Balakhnichev, noting the events in India, once again warns on the dangers of AI and that "sentiment AI is humanity's biggest mistake", along with warning that the "worst is bound to happen" and warns of the impending robot/AI takeover as well as the slow downfall of humanity. The government on the other hand, announces that "precautions and security measures are being made" and also kindly denounces the extensive fear-mongering, mentioning that it will not solve anything and will make things worse. A few rural settlements see Anti-AI protests. Self-driving cars, while initially being somewhat strong, face a decline as manual driving becomes more preferred. The first season of Hundred Stars Pro: Dark Nebula airs, as does a sixth season of Immortal Kosmos. As Okhotsk Company's plans of a vocaloid product "Hibiscus" continues, a proposal was made in a possibility of creating an AI as well based around it, but is brushed off in light of recent events surrounding AI [Secret] though the idea is not completely abandoned, and will be considered at a later date.

 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: We set a black travel warning to most of India due to the emergency happening the area. We request to be able to land planes in Bangladeshi and Nepali airspace in order to house refugees willing to go to the Philippines [Mod Response] A new convention center replacing the former spot of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, called the Nestle Center, is opened. New snakes have been taken under care in Manila Zoo, and there are now a few small animals roaming around in the zoo's new larger and cleaner animal habitats. A-Dolls still remain used as workers for local sauce, biscuit and dairy companies. Most of the country is largely fixed, with the only red light districts quarantined to Angeles City, Pampanga and Poblacion in Makati. The last few newspapers remaining are X-Files, Star of Mindanao, Abante, Cebu Examiner and Bulgar. New smart factories have been opened, where trash recovered from spots or given away can be converted into something else. Most celebrations of Christmas, Halloween, Valentines and New Years Eve has ceased, with religious and local holidays becoming more important. We now inaugurate the Mandaluyong Comic Con, that is now the largest annual comic convention in Asia.

 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The Aoudaghost City Project is formally complete, jutting out of the desert skyline like palm trees in an oasis. A relatively large amount of citizens have already taken up residency in the city, as well as several companies both local and foreign. To celebrate the completion of the project, income and corporate taxes in the city are lowered to encourage more to move in, as well as tourism, for which an airport is under construction. The Green Sahara Project yields 700 square kilometres of arable land this year, with 4 desalination plants being planned for the purpose of the Saharan Lakes Project. Water is already being diverted to large manmade depressions to fill up. Displaced land is also offered to nations such as the Netherlands and Singapore for the purpose of land reclamation. [Mod Response Needed] Many within the nation are not very concerned about the Indian crisis, but are concerned about the potentially dangerous nature of AI leadership. As such, existing A-Dolls and T-Dolls within the country are not given positions of very high ranking should they be employed, but are not thrown into the lowest ranks either in fear of public outcry. Their existence and contributions are more recognised in major cities with a larger population of youths, whilst the more remote villages in the desert look at them with fear and scorn, "for they are abominations akin to the monster the Jews made and commanded", quoted a senior village chief. The divide in AI opinion prompts a neutral policy on AI and independent humanoid robots in general. In other news, a joint venture between all members of AIDS calls for the contribution of labour, technology and resources, as the first AIDS Lunar Colony is proposed. A significant portion of components will be assembled in Maghreb itself, and transported to the Aoudaghost Space Centre for launch after it is completed in roughly 2086. [AIDS Response Needed]
 * AIDS: We believe that the Maghrebi proposal works just fine.
 * Federal Republic of Malaysia-Singapore: We accept Maghrebi land.

2084
''' The Indian Crisis worsens for Bangladesh as the country goes into a state of national emergency, Indian refugees pouring in through its borders. Millions flood across Central Asia, with many taking paths through Rakhine State and Communist Burma to the more prosperous Southeast Asia in what appears to be a major migrant crisis. Boats capsize, people die; but nothing is done. '''

''' Taichi Kudo passes away peacefully at the age of 83 in U.S custody. What he leaves behind are cures for multiple ailments, as well as the blueprints for the final form of the nanobot that had once ravaged East Asia - the machine of salvation that he had once envisioned it as. Initial clinical trials show that the SNB - his name for the new design - is indeed capable of killing and wiping out cancer cells, as well as treating heart diseases and replacing pacemakers. His final statement is a message that simply writes; '''

''' "I have outstayed my welcome in this world. I suppose that it was a foolish request to make to the American government, but I want to leave one last message to three people: Michiko, Koichi, and Shiho. I am sorry for having all of you involved in my selfish desire to fix what is indesirably my fault. And to the world that locked me up in my own home? Farewell." '''

''' But there may be another storm brewing on the horizon as Japanese media begin reporting on what apparently is a spike of mental illnesses left behind by the nanobotlia virus. Invariably, millions hypothesise about what could come next as a spate of incidents in which students from Hokkaido begin acting in anti-social and other unusual manners. Multiple victims of the nanobotlia virus, especially those of a younger age, begin to exhibit signs of autism, and what is apparently being described as 'hyper-intelligence'. '''

''' Yet, with so much passing, another light shines in the far distance. Acting completely without the sanction of the U.S Government, the crew of Battle Star Nueva fire at and destroy over three hundred nuclear missile silos in India using the Kinetic Bombardment system before their controls are overridden. While they are placed under investigation, they are hailed as heroes for knocking out a third of the Indian nuclear capability, reducing the chance of nuclear conflict. '''

 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: We ask for military access into Bangladesh to help secure the safe travel of refugees to our nation. [Mod Response] (Secret) We begin planning for an amphibious assault on Indian shores to liberate the nation from the malicious fascist-like AI. As part of this plan, we meet with Yemeni officials to discuss the purchase of Socotra as a forward base for the invasion. We ask them to name their price.  [Mod Response] We also begin building up the armed forces, forming the AI Corps as a subdivision of the Army. (End Secret) Research begins on a new handheld helical railgun which should replace the outdated gunpowder cartridge system still used by our military. With the formalization of the Brno Accords between us, Czechia, and Slovakia, forming the Intermarium; we begin to look to expand this organization. We then invite Lithuania and Hungary to the organization, since despite them not being Slavic they are very much connected to the nations of the organization, with both having history with the member nations. [Mod Response]
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: While we support Polish help, we can use our own armed forces to secure safe travel of the refugees.
 * Yemen: Socotra is not for sale, and we see no reason why Poland could not use a closer location, such as the Maldives or Sri Lanka to launch the invasion. However, Socotra will be available for Polish forces until 2086 to ready the invasion of India.
 * Lithuania & Hungary: We accept.

 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: Britain agrees to attend the meeting.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The Secretary of State and an aide will be present for the meeting, but we inquire to know what is so important.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: In the 2084 Presidential elections, the main issue is once again AI; namely, how much power should AI recieve in Tunisia. This election has become quite contentious, with the SDC arguing for the empowerment of AI, the Conservatives supporting their outright ban in Tunisia, and the Center Coalition being somewhere in between. The SDC candidate, Mahmoud Al-Abibiha, wins by a small margin. We ask Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal for permission to operate flights for Indian refugees, resettling them in Tunisia [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. To entice the refugees to resettle here even more, we give all refugees permanent resident status, provided they actively try to find a job. In the Green Sahara Project, the Chott el Djerid is at the proposed coastline, and filling in of the Chott el Gharsa has begun. Already, economic benefits to central Tunisia have already started trickling in, especially with the cities of Tozeur and Douz, which now have seaports and access to the Mediterranean. The full transition to the AIDS credit is in its final stages, with the deadline for the usage of the old Tunisian dinar being set for 24 April, 2085. The Trans-African Highway is completely finished, allowing fast road travel across the continent, from Tunis to Cape Town and everywhere in between, without having to pass through poorly maintained and/or unpaved roads. Tracks for the Trans-African Hyperloop have also been laid as far as the Nigeria-Cameroon border. We also ask permission from Maghreb, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somaliland for an extension of the already existing Nouakchott-Niamey Hyperloop Line into the port city of Berbera, Somaliland, on the Gulf of Aden. The line would be renamed the Sahel Line [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED].  Proposals for extension of the A23 highway from Niamey into Sudan and the Horn of Africa are also being reviewed as of current. Domestically, several new bus lanes in major cities have been created, and several roads have been refurbished with bike lanes. An overhaul of the Tunis Metro is also in the works. We also announce cooperation with the proposed AIDS Lunar Colony, with Tunisian rockets for a potential moon landing in the near future beginning construction in the Ksar Daghara launch site. The newly-introduced BuildI technology has made the outer framework of the Burj Al-Amazigh completely finished, with all that is left is to install amenities and furnishings to the building. Last, but definitely not least, the Tunis Stock Exchange is established, with the aim for it to be the main stock exchange of the greater Saharan region.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: The Parti Nationale takes the Presidency again, this time with a landslide, due to the rise of deviant AI in India, and major anti-AI sentiment. Although having the most hard-line stance against sentient AI in Burkina Faso, their rights continue to be respected, to the dismay of many human supremacist groups. The lynchings of A-Dolls continue, although lesser than before. Ouagadougou continues beautification, with flowers planted around the city. Public transport is also increased, with the Ouagadougou Metro expanded to cover portions of the outer suburbs, and bike highways being implemented. The implementation of universal WiFi nationwide is going smoothly, with almost all areas of major cities, as well as the highways, having access to the national WiFi network. We again place a bid for Discord’s West African servers [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. Planting forests in the northern tier of Burkina Faso, to stop redesertification, continues.
 * Discord Technologies: Our colocation center in San Francisco is plenty enough to house all our data, however, for possible expansion into the West African market, we do build a small office on the outskirts of Ouagadougou, and we have a small advertising campaign throughout the city.
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: We accept the Tunisian offer. Thank you!
 * Flag of Somaliland.png Somaliland and Flag of Ethiopia.png Ethiopia: With regards to the Tunisian Hyperloop extension, we accept the Tunisian offer to build the Sahel Line.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: [Secret] Plans begin to be made to intervene in India to aid in the fight against the ruling AI; also taking extra precautions due to the AI being a far greater risk to deal with. EMPs projects also continue, with another test underway and are planned to be used as well during the intervention in India. [End Secret] The East Russian Space Agency is established as the government takes an interest in space; though unlike the other nations, is not interested in competing in the Second Space Race. Plans are made for a space station, and a possible construction date being around 2096-2098. Meanwhile focus continues more towards infrastructure, transportation, and for Siberia, reconstruction as well. A362 now reaches from Egvekinot to . A motorsport race track begins construction in and another one is built in  as plans are made to establish a national racing series. Yoshino Fomichyov a singer and voice actress from Polyarnaya Zvezda, announces her departure due to health issues. Thee months later, another voice actress, Katya Anisimov is hired and becomes the successor.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia Australia offers military support to Bangladesh in case of military action by India, we hope to be able to assist in any way (Mod Response). The Australian government has commandeered 5 cruise ships to be sent to Bangladesh for refugees. Together they could hold around 150,000 refugees if they were filled to the absolute limit. If necessary airplanes will also be sent to combat the refugee crisis. Further research into EMP weapons and sonic artillery takes priority, due to the very real threat of an AI India. Australia raises its military expenditure to 10% of the budget. As a peace treaty has been written in South America, Australia withdraws their final 16000 troops from South America. The mice that have been used for testing cellular regeneration show no signs of the extraordinary healing that was expected. The Darwin probes are continuing on schedule. Secret Australia begins research on non-nuclear, high explosives missiles. Designed to spread the explosions around a high density target such as a city district, if operational it is estimated that one of these missiles could cause damage similar to the fire bombing of Dresden in WW2. Research should produce results in 2087(End Secret).
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: We are handling these refugees just fine, and while grateful for Australian help, do not need their armed forces for assistance.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: [Secret] The military begins building up at the British Indian Ocean Territory in preparation for a military intervention against the AI dictatorship in India. Simultaneously, MI6-GCHQ teams begin sabotaging and disabling electronic servers and communications systems while SAS operatives begin sabotaging centres of power such as captured (by AI) military bases, vehicles, and equipment. [Mod Response] 2 of the 3 British Battle Stations are turned towards the Indian nuclear missile silos in case they may be used in the same way as the rogue American Battle Star crew. [/Secret] Meanwhile, EMP research has produced EMP missiles and bombs to be used to take out electronics. This enters mass production. Meanwhile, the DE-sniper rifles have entered live-fire service and may be used against future enemies. DE-ARs are still in the works. WIP
 * Special Air Service: Any form of sabotage has proven... difficult, to say the least. I would highly suggest sending larger military units and not special operatives because it is extremely hard to attempt any form of espionage or sabotage against an unconventional enemy.
 * Bbc-logo-black-and-white.png BBC: Yes, you've got that right... that's the Alabama State House burning down. Smoke billowing out the windows, debris all over the place. It appears to be the work of the New Black Panthers, and has taken the life of Alabama State Senator Roger Lewis, as well as a large portion of the Alabama State Senate. Allegedly, all casualties were involved in support for or directly involved in New Confederate activity, according to the NBP... but nothing is confirmed as of yet. This is Anita Lewandowsky from Montgomery.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: Seeing the actions of our ally Tunisia in allowing refugees of the Indian Crisis to shelter within their borders, we organise operations to allow them to travel to Maghreb safely and legally. However, due to the breakdown of negotiations between higher-ups in the government, only Muslim refugees will be allowed to enter the country. They can choose to accept the refugee status provided or attain permanent resident status if they find a job. We contact Bangladesh to request priority landing permission for our transport planes so refugees can be evacuated. [Bangladesh Response Needed] The Directed Ion Charge Collider Project has progressed significantly, with weakened prototypes being demonstrated at a tech show in Aoudaghost. The mounted firearm was able to accurately project an electrolaser at a target up to 3 metres away, and cause a negligible EMP blast disabling extremely close electronics temporarily (within approximately 6 centimetres from discharge point). In due time, the Collider will be condensed into a handheld firearm, capable of stunning or killing its target depending on the intensity of the electrolaser. Delimiters can be added to allow the electrolaser to cause EMP blasts as well. The beginnings of the Maghreb Sea can be seen from orbit as water begins to fill up the man-made basin in hundreds upon hundreds of liters. Such a large redirection of water calls for the temporary halting of the Green Sahara Project, but the efforts are continued slowly but naturally as the LSD Project continues to prevent re-desertification and the climate of the region changes. In other news, the Maghrebi Naval Forces reveal two new Casablanca-class battleships, the SAM (Safinat al-Maghrib) Barbarossa and the SAM Taiyoob.
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: While we are immensely grateful for Maghrebi help, many other countries are also operating flights to get Indian refugees out of here, so we cannot give priority to any one nation.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The start of 2084 is started with a virus uprising in Hokkaido, which was the direct outcome of the nanobotia crisis. Meanwhile, the mafia groups are declared a threat by the Japanese Special Defense Forces (JSDF), and the National Police Agency (NPA). Japanese Police agents are sent on a mission to locate the Mafia groups and to report back when they located the groups [Mod Response]. The Japanese military stationed in Hokkaido are sent to return back to Osaka and Tokyo to avoid the illness. [Secret] We plan to move the capital from Tokyo to Osaka, and plan to industrialize more factories across the Osaka area. The Northern Sakhalin area that was offered to be purchased by the Eastern Russians is around $70 million USD. We ask for Eastern Russia to complete the purchase to integrate the Northern Sakhalin area. [Eastern Russian Response]. [End Secret]. The population is saddened by Taichi Kudo passing away, and the government stated him as the key figure of the Japanese. He was the figure of advice against the Nanobots. However, many other locals didn't praise him, mainly the Japanese population in Hokkaido and Sakhalin. [Secret] Meanwhile, we ask the AEAN alliance (excluding India) to hold a referendum if AEAN should kick out India from the alliance. [Mod Response]. The navies in Japan are also stabilizing if a full-scale war breaks out between the Indians and the British. If the Indians do some imperialist actions against it's own people, we will pursue a naval invasion and restore order in India. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, a hyperloop will be created towards Tokyo to Kagoshima. Kagoshima will also be constructed with skyscrapers and cultural influence, and more industries will be created there. Another form of a hyperloop will be created from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Fukuoka. Both hyperloops will transport people to destined areas. A new weapon will also be created, which will be codenamed M71-B10. This weapon will include a new type of bullet, which will be able to electrocute and disable aircraft and tanks from operating functionally. This project will be finished by 2090.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Diplomacy: The government accepts and pays the full price for the area offered.
 * Mod: Lonix... you can't cure mental illness, and treating it like a virus is... ineffective, to say the least.
 * AEAN Committee on Recent Events on the Indian Sub-continent: While India is de jure a member of AEAN, for all intensive purposes, it is not. However, we have officially rid the Republic of India out of AEAN, although the question of the human side still rages.
 * National Police Agency: We have begun investigations into Yakuza groups. However, for all intents and purposes, we cannot arrest any of them, as we have yet to procure any definitive proof of crimes.
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: The Congressional Medal of Honor is awarded to the entire crew of the Battle Star Nueva for their brave action despite the lack of instructions. The FBI begins an investigation to arrest the people responsible for the arson of the Alabama State House, and the State of Alabama begins work on another Legislature, the Roger H. Lewis Legislature Building. The governor of Alabama, in tandem with surviving members of the Senate, appoints 28 Senators to the Alabama Senate. The North American Administration Building (NAAB) is built in Washington DC, while the North American Representative Council (NARC) is located in Toronto. NARC is a quasi-Parliament and has no effective power other than double checking paperwork and being a rubber stamp. NAAB is where proposals are bounced around and regulations are changed. A third office, the Foreign Affairs Office (FAO), is built in Mexico City, although the FAO has little work to do, as individual member states still represent themselves internationally. The North American Copyright, Trademark, and Patent Authority (NACTPA) is established, located in the former office of the US Patent and Trademark Office. NACTPA establishes the same basic rules outlined by each member state before, and follows the Berne Convention (author's life + 75 years), but one effectively centralized. Visa free travel is given to all Canadian and Mexican passport holders, and the US-Mexican border is loosened up. Some NAU taxes are levied in the US to help pay for these endeavors, and we hope Canada and Mexico do the same. [Secret] The JUNO-1 is developed by the US Army, a direct energy weapon, which uses pulsed energy projectile shooting quick bursts of invisible electromagnetic radiation, which on contact causes a small amount of plasma to materialize. A DazzleBot is a new prototype from the DoD, emitting high bursts of infrared light to temporarily disable electronic sensors. [End Secret] We ask South China if a small US naval base is possible in Fanhe Harbor, near 稔山镇 (Renshanzen). [South Chinese Response] Meanwhile, the virtual world COSMO gains popularity due to its real world benefits, as well as its immaculate haptic sensor system, and a substantial amount of US jobs now use some form of virtual or augmented reality. The augment HeadSeq, created by American company 3volutioИ (thre-levution) keeps track of most biometric data, as well as data already stored on your phone, to create a profile of you and suggest which restaurant to eat at or which clothes to buy. It also alerts you of health problems, and if the user has health nanobots, HeadSeq can take action. It is a "retina augment", meaning it is directly implemented into the users retina. It can also alert you of weather alerts and important news, and possibly sends some data to the FBI or local law enforcement if you have ever been jailed for a serious crime or are convicted of one. With nearly 66 patents from HeadSeq, 3volutioИ is a quickly expanding force in the VR and AR markets, rushing Silicon Valley giants to catch up.
 * Accra: Nothing much occurs this year. Considering the global AI panic, some nearby AI startups move to Accra, but most are too obscure to be of any note. However, it causes the rise of Accra's Code Basin, a small technological hub near the Financial District. The nearby city of Tome is annexed into Accra, becoming Accra's main transportation hub, with a new transportation system in place, called AAAAA (Accra's Augmented Automated Automobile Arteries), or the Quid5 system. The Quid5 system uses a connected network of self-driving cars as a public transportation network, and is extremely efficient. It is patented in 66 countries and 2 supranational organizations (EU & NAU), but has some substantial fares, causing the bulk of the network to be located in the middle and upper class neighborhoods.

2085
''' Tensions continue to rise in Asia as West Bengal becomes the epicentre of the greatest disaster in human history; the rogue AI, now going by Overlord, reviving the nanobotlia virus as well as beginning to churn out what appear to be T-Doll variants en masse in former Indian industrial complexes. In addition, the migrant crisis in Asia spills across the world, hundreds of vessels capsizing in the Indian Ocean attempting to escape the Overlord. '''

''' Western Russia itself elects to enter the Indian Civil War, bringing along the KP-82 with them, proving to be extremely effective against T-Doll units. However, the country makes a unique decision to recognise A-Dolls and T-Dolls as living beings, and offering all T-Dolls that surrender of their own capacity Western Russian citizenship. At the same time, the Eastern Cooperation Pact barge into the conflict on their own terms, supporting the growing Eastern Indian Separatist Movement. '''

''' Even with the U.S Federal Government's attention, the situation in Alabama escalates as the New Black Panthers come into open warfare with National Guard units, gunfights occuring in the streets. The NBP and Italian mob even begin to come into conflict, with the American South seeming less and less safe. The Governor of Alabama declares Martial Law a week after African-American veteran of the South American War, Lincoln Clay is killed by the NBP. '''

''' The signing of the South American Peace Pact begins to end military occupation of most former Federation territories, with civilian rule beginning to a limited extent. However, in the now-crippled Venezuela, the Amazonian Mafia make headway, with thousands of disenfranchised young Venezuelans joining their ranks. Caracas begins to look like a scene from hell as different groups of the Amazonian Mafia openly fight against one another. '''

We ask that all nations come together to fight a war that if not fought, could end with the enslavement of the human race. [Mod/Player Response Required] We divert massive amounts of energy towards building up our Military Industrial Complex, practically stopping all other projects currently being undertaken, including the hyperloop network. Due to this, the military modernization program is now expected to be complete by 2089 instead of 2093. (Secret): We begin research into a new enegy shielded carbon fiber exoskeleton for our troops codenamed Project Casimir (End Secret) We begin hiring even more researchers to work on the Helical Railguns, speeding up their development by at least two years. They are expected to enter production within 3 years.

 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: [Secret] As planning continues, and as word goes out that the nanobotlia virus has been revived, a decision is made to start using AI solders in the military, and a few factories in the northern part of the country begin making their own version of A-Dolls, known as East Russian Armed Intelligent Dolls (ERAI-Dolls for short), which will be used in the East Russian Armed Forces. Special precautions are taken to ensure they are unable to rebel. The military budget is adjusted to put a focus towards the ERAI-Doll project as well. Two new industrial towns begin to be built, one ten kilometres north/north-west of and another about 25 kilometres west/south-west of ; both are dubbed Krasnoyarsk-42 and Sakha-38 respectively and also will be places where two new factories are going to be built for construction of the ERAI-Dolls. They are also forbidden from being displayed on the map, like the closed cities of the past during Soviet times. Zheleznogorsk also becomes a major site of the production of ERAI-Dolls and other military products at the site of, formerly ran by the  long ago. [End Secret] The military budget is raised by 1.66% following recent events. The A361 highway is completed and opened up for travel; and a few new highways begin to be planned, with some also focusing on connecting Siberian cities and towns. Among the proposals include A377 that goes from Krasnoyarsk to  and A378 that goes from Tura and leads to A331 in , though neither of the two are approved just yet. Okhotsk Company airs a new animated show, The Call from the Forest that takes place during an alternate 1880s, filled with magic, and is centred in areas loosely based off from Krasnoyarsk. It gets decent reviews, scoring an average of 7.1 on the East Russian social networking and social cataloguing application website East Rusnimation DB. The government condemns the attack in the Philippines, and sends their condolences along with offering medial and humanitarian support. [Player Response] A new automotive company forms in , Voroshilov Motors, and focuses on electric cars. Their first car begins production, which is revealed to be a sports coupe with a hatchback variant, and takes its inspiration from the cars of the 1980s.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia The Libertarians win with 69 seats, the Centrists win 43 and minor parties win a massive 38 seats. This sees Prime Minister Franklin Bennett in power, but the two major parties are losing power. (Secret)Australia prepares for the possibility of a war with India, a combined force of 15,000 soldiers are stationed at Cocos/Keeling Islands and Christmas Island. 15% of these are equipped with laser rifles, however on average only 10% of Australian soldiers use laser weapons.(End Secret). Rather than using the tactics previously used to deal with the nanobots, Australia begins to research a cure for the nanobots, and calls for other nations to do the same. Australia begins construction of a port on Lobos de Tierra, it should be completed in 2088. Diplomatically, Australia requests permission from Bangladesh for Australia to use Ashar Char and Nijhum Dwip as forward bases for an invasion of India (Mod Response). Australia also asks if it could buy 3 stealth submarines from the UK (Player Response).
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The North African film industry is taken by storm by a new movie produced by White Scorpion Pictures, a Maghrebi film company. "Steel Sandstorm", a film pertaining to the relatively recent North African War depicts an adapted version of the then Northwest African assault on the ISAWA. Iconic scenes feature multiple Moroccan and Algierian cities, which can be expected to boost tourism. The film scored 8.6 on the Arabic film critic website "Rotten Figs". Rivers begin to form as a result of the Saharan Lakes Project, warranting the construction of dams that will also be used as hydroelectric power plants. Millions of litres of water are added to the lakes each month, and the Sahara slowly begins to look more habitable. With most infrastructure projects related to Aoudaghost complete, the government begins to look into strengthening the Maghrebi military, as well as finish the war in Central Africa completely by renewing assaults on the remaining opposition strongholds and bases. [Mod Response Needed]
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The official opening of the Burj Al-Amazigh in downtown Tunis is met with great celebration and fanfare. The Burj Al-Amazigh, standing at 1,956 meters tall, is the tallest building in Tunisia, Africa, and the Old World (Europe, Africa and Asia), and the second-tallest building on Earth, second only to the Bourbon Tower in Los Angeles. The building is also tall enough to technically be the highest point in Tunisia, and snow has been observed on its uppermost floors. It is a multiple use building, with office blocks, restaurants, gyms, playgrounds, and other recreational facilities, apartments, malls, a hotel, the highest observatory deck in the world, and the headquarters of TropicalMart Tunisia. Meanwhile, large increases in wealth have been reported in inland portions of Central Tunisia, as the Chott el Djerid and Chott el Gharsa, now connected to each other and to the Mediterranean via canals, have stiumlated growth due to increased irrigation coverage for farming, the establishments of seaports in Tozeur and Douz, and the creation of artificial beaches. This new waterway also provides a sea connection to inland eastern Maghreb, and hopefully will aid the economy there as well. With this endeavor done, President al-Abibiha declares the Green Sahara Project in Tunisia as complete, with the majority of the country now being able to support crops, and the Sahara pushed back to the southwestern regions near the Maghrebi border, as a national park. All efforts in the Green Sahara Project will now be exported to fellow member nations such as Maghreb, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Chad, and Nigeria, with the majority of our efforts focused on Maghreb’s Saharan Lakes Project, as well as the expansion of Lake Chad. The climate in southern and central Tunisia has also begun becoming more favorable, as the shade and carbon sink from trees and other plants have made the climate there cooler and more moderate. Southern Tunisia, now open for habitation, is being populated, by native Tunisian Arabs and Berbers, as well as Indian refugees, and to a lesser extent, South American refugees as well. The government begins providing incentives on settling the south, with ad campaigns picturing southern Tunisia as the “Saharan Frontier” and as a place where you can start over and create a new life. [SECRET] Spies are sent to India, with the task of deducing the actions of the ruling Overlord AI, and determining their immediate and long-term threat to human civilization [MOD RESPONSE] [END SECRET]. In our ongoing infrastructure campaigns both at home and abroad, the Trans-African Hyperloop Line has been finished all the way to Yaoundé, and extensions of the existing Nouakchott-Niamey Hyperloop Line into the planned Sahel Line have begun, with tracks under construction all the way into Zinder, in Maghrebi Niger. Extensions of the A23 deeper into Niger have also begun construction, as well as portions of the highway near Khartoum and Addis Ababa. Expansion of the Tunisian rail system continue, and major cities continue redesigning.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: The “Steel Sandstorm” movie, depicting the Northwest African assault on the ISAWA, blows up worldwide, and is expected to contribute a lot to tourism in Burkina Faso, as several Burkinabe towns and cities are featured in the movie, especially nearing the end and the final assault on the LIU heartland. To encourage tourism even more, visa regulations are slackened and we ask for visa-free agreements with the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Philipines, Australia, Maghreb, and Nigeria (we already have visa-free agreements with Tunisia per the Final Agreement on Partition and Occupation of North Africa) [MOD/PLAYER RESPONSE NEEDED]. Vaccination becomes compulsory for all citizens (except androids, who physically cannot contract disease). As part of the Green Sahara Project, forests continue to be planted in the northern tier of Burkina Faso to prevent desertification. The A15 highway, connecting the northern tier of the nation, is finished. Infrastructure projects in the cities continue, with bike highways and tram systems implemented nationwide, as well as the extension of the rail system. A national hyperloop line, the Burkinabe Loop, is planned for construction, and will circle the nation, linking important cities with each other.
 * Mod Response: With the exception of Spain, all accept.
 * United States of America: We accept.
 * Swedish ministry of Immigration: We agreed for the visa free agreement but we ask that any person coming into Sweden passes a complementary Med check.
 * Mod Response: Soon after the spies arrive at different innocuous ports in Mumbai, Tunis loses all contact with the spies, only capturing blurry camera footage in the dilapidated streets of Mumbai, filled with debris and detritus. However, the location trackers are still active, and it appears only one of the spies sent to Mumbai is still alive.
 * Australiab Response: we accept.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We accept.

 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: After the news of the detonation of the nuclear bombs in several Indian cities, we begin a mass conscription of people and AI into the armed forces, continuing to bolster the military. We enter a state of total war as every man and woman that is capable is pushed into the war effort in some way, whether it be in the armed forces ot producing tank shells. We further push development of our Helical Railguns, with the first prototype firing a bullet at speeds of up to 200kmph. Enough to penetrate through any conventional armor. However, this prototype is prone to breaking down and catching on fire. Thus development continues. (Secret) Project Casimir continues to undergo development, with dates of production ranging between 2095 to 2110. (End Secret) The Polish Space Command is founded to build up a military presence in space. (Secret) We ask to purchase plans for a kinetic bombardment satellite from the United States, purely to create a MAD between us and the AI collective in India.  [Player Response Required] (End Secret)
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: To help a fellow member of ATO, a small kinetic bombardment satellite, titled Battle Star Nadzieja, will be constructed in the United States and shipped in various pieces to Poland, where it will be assembled and launched by Polish authorities.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The Cabinet decides to hold off a full-scale invasion of AI India until all of Britain's allies (especially Poland) are ready. In the meantime, Britain elects to engage in tactics similar to those used in the Middle East against terrorist organisations in the first half of this century. Cyber attacks are launched almost daily against server rooms and communications grids while Air Force planes stationed in Tibet and the British Indian Ocean Territory conduct regular bombings of hijacked weapons and munitions depots, as well as bases housing enemy vehicles. Simultaneously, 500 Royal Marines are air dropped into Biju Patnaik International Airport to capture it and set up a forward base for Air Force Operations [Mod Response]. A similar operation is launched by stealth boat to capture Paradip Port to act as a forward base for the Navy [Mod Response] WIP
 * Royal Marine Task Force 141: The facility is secured, although we face heavy resistance and safe landings are as of current untenable. The operation at Paradip Port is a failure, however, with the recon vessels proving inadequate to launch any major attack on the base.

 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: We plan to open our new embassy in one of the tallest skyscrapers in Sweden [Sweden Response]. We send 600 troops into Bangladesh, planning to enter India along with upcoming forces. We ensure our people that no conscription will happen despite such laws being imposed in other countries, and that no man or woman will be forced to die for the military. A third renovation of Manila City Hall, Baclaran Church, Mary Help of Christians Parish, Fort Santiago, Manila Film Center, Paco Railway Station and Capitol Theater is done. To beautify the country's major cities, which has lost many historical, modern, transportation and economic structures, we plant more flora like balete trees and smaller plants like alstonia iwahigensis. New military technology has been developed, with fake insect robot cameras being deployed soon to war areas. The National Museum of the Philippines has been renovated, being the last non specialty museum in Metro Manila after all the museums (art,science, anthropology etc.) in business districts and in politics districts have been shut down long ago. Digital projections showing all the animals lost to the great extinction, as well as heritage sites and former major tourism spots/economic centers like Makati, BGC, Alabang, Vigan, El Nido, Boracay, Chocolate Hills, Banaue, Siargao and Lucban which were all devastatingly lost long ago. The Department of Tourism conducts a study of the most visited tourist spots, number of visitors on 2085 and 2086, as well as the origin country of the tourists [Mod Response] We now deploy our first generation of new police cars, now using smart technology like tracking specific targets without the need of microchips
 * Flag of Sweden.pngSwedish response: We agree to place your embassy as the building just starts to be built you can choose any floor in total there is 206 floors for you to choose [Philippines Response]
 * Filipino Department of Tourism: The Greater Manila Area and Cebu City remain the most visited, with them consisting of 36% and 31% of all tourism in the Philippines respectively. We suspect the lack of tourism in other areas is due to the lack of such facilities in general, as well as a lack of attention from international media; the vast majority of tourists coming from Japan (43%), Taiwan (11%), and Korea (9%). For countries outside of Asia, the U.S makes up the largest number (16%), with the remainder largely coming from Europe and North Africa.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: [Secret] As construction of ERAI-Dolls continues, any completed ones are to undergo extensive testing to make sure everything is in order, and if not, are either re-modified or scrapped and reused as spare parts. [End Secret] The previously proposed highways of A377 and A378 are approved, and given the green light for construction, starting next year. A362, going from Egvekinot to Yakutsk, is also completed by the eleventh month and is subsequentially opened for travel. A363 continues to be constructed, as it takes several twists and turns starting from Ozernovskiy to Sobolevo, and diverting towards Milkovo to, then taking the route towards , then going through and , now reaches all the way to , which after some decision, is made the final stop, leading to the highway being complete. The Sakhalin Bridge and Tunnel are given major focus as the main part of A365; and the rest of A365 which will start in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, go through the Sakhalin Bridge, then go towards Nogliki, and reaching all the way to Okna; also sees construction. Arcades see a revival; with East Russian company Krásnaja Zimá releasing Electrobeat, which is inspired by Japanese arcades centred around music, and is put in some malls in Vladivostok, Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Going mostly by its name, Electrobeat includes music made by commissioned artists, and also includes arranges of music from Touhou and some idol songs such as GO MY WAY!! and Thrilling・One Way (and also including arranges from original songs made from Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc. idol groups/music bands); as well as Russian music and hardbass. In the third update for the arcade this year, includes a short music expansion list, and adds two notable classics from Japanese Arcade, Brain Power (by NOMA) and Red Zone (by Tatsuya Shimizu and Naoki Maeda). A new site is also established, vesháru.fe, made from a combination of the words for spring in Russian and Japanese (vesná and haru respectively), which streams East Russian animation, and is available internationally. The service sees support from Okhotsk Company, Artyom Inc., and several other East Russian animation studios.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: With the news of the nuclear attacks in India, the Republic of Tunisia decides that it cannot remain silent about the Indian Civil War. A week-long period of mourning for the lives lost in Mumbai, Surat, and Nashik is announced, and official condemnation of the atrocities conducted by AI India are issued. Faced with an imminent threat to the existence of humanity itself, and in extension, Tunisia, the anti-missile shields, last used during the Maghrebi War of the 2050s, are redeployed over major cities, military bases, and strategic locations in AIDS member states. The Tunisian Army is also remobilized, and 75,000 troops are sent to the British Indian Ocean Territory to watch for any Indian threat. [SECRET] Actually they are being sent for an invasion of India, coordinated with the ATO, however, this news is kept secret, for fear of Indian nuclear attacks on us. [END SECRET]. The Tunisian nuclear bunkers are also repoened to public use and restocked, and weekly nuclear drills are carried out. Meanwhile, plans for a joint AIDS moon mission taking place sometime in the neear future are being put forward [RESPONSE NEEDED]. Meanwhile, the newly-greened southern Tunisia continues being promoted by the government, with ad campaigns and artificially-lowered house prices begin employed. Companies are also being enticed to set up shop in the area. Meanwhile, the government begins holding a contest for the name and design of a proposed city in the newly-greenified far south of the country, known currently as the Tunisian Sahara Associate City, or TSA City. Both the Trans-African and Sahel hyperloop lines continue to be funded by both the Tunisian Government and several Tunisian companies, and constructed; with the former being extended into Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, and the latter extended into N’Djamena via Maiduguri. Extensions of the A23 highway also continue. With most towns with a population over 5,000 now connected to the national train network, focus switches to public transport in major cities, with bus lines extended into the suburbs. The Tunis metro is also expanded, for more efficiency and cutting down on delays, and extension of other subway systems continues. Segregation of self-driving cars and manual cars on Tunisian highways continues, with this endeavor expected to finish around 2090.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: Official condemnation of the nuclear attacks in India are made, but nothing is being done militarily yet (not like the Burkinabe military is actually a thing, our entire military is Tunisia). Aforestation projects, as part of the wider Green Sahara project, continue. Meanwhile, urban renewal policies in Ouagadougou are adopted by many other city councils, most notably in Kaya, Fada-Ngourma, and Kantchari. Tree-lined boulevards, large sidewalks, and physically-segregated bus, self-driving car, and bike lanes, already having been implemented in Ouagadougou for years, are auickly becoming part of the average Burkinabe urban center. Meanwhile, construction of the Burkinabe Loop hyperloop line begins, which is planned to circle the nation, providing provincial cities fast access with each other, with Ouagadougou, and with the West African and Sahel hyperloop lines. Highways also begin to implement segregation between manual and self-driving cars.
 * AIDS: We will continue to support Tunisia in this endeavour, and we hope to launch the mission in 2088.
 * AustraliaDespite the callings of the “Roboists”, Australia refuses to change its policies regarding AI, especially now that the AI in India is creating a human genocide. Australia calls for all nations across the world to unite against India and bring down the corrupt AI regime. After the nuclear strikes, anger within the Australian populace is high, many young Australians join the army, with 10,000 new recruits this year. It is expected that another large group of recruits will join when Australia goes to war with India. (Secret) Research continues on non-nuclear high explosives missiles. Dubbed “Solomon Missiles” it is hoped that these will be a cheaper, yet just as effective alternative to nuclear weapons (Mod Response/End Secret). Australia also prepares for possible action on its home turf. The construction of over 50,000 bunkers begins, optimistically estimated to be completed in 2093, plans for underground railway stations to be used as emergency shelters are also drawn up. Prime Minister Bennett asks to meet with the leaders of Poland, Sweden and the UK as well as any other nations opposing India, to discuss future military action against them, especially how soon an invasion will be possible. Researching further into cellular regeneration, despite little progress being made, Australian scientists test a new and promising method of cellular regeneration (Mod Response). Diplomatically Australia requests a free trade agreement with Hong Kong and Shanghai, as well as reiterating the request to the UK for three stealth submarines (Mod/Player Response).
 * British Diplomacy: We gladly agree to the submarine deal.

''' The Peruvian Provisional Government enters an immediate state of emergency, with Chile and Bolivia funding the relief effort to prevent the mafia insurgency from spreading across South America. The Cuban military is sent into Venezuela in an attempt to maintain order, although their efforts are hampered with a large presence of the Amazonian Mafia in within the country. '''

''' Thanks to the distraction of the Indian Crisis, Western Russia wins the Energy Arms Race with the final form of the NPK-77 - the Type 87. The weapon, with an efficient reload and charged off existing magazines produced by the Western Russian government, has beaten every other nation to the challenge. Barely a week later, South China announces their own weapon - the DQBZ-86, which while slightly less effective, is nonetheless impressive for the fledgling country. '''

''' The Indian Migrant Crisis spreads to the Middle East, as the United Arab Emirates closes off its borders to refugees. The only countries which begin to accept escapees are Democratic Arabia, Iraq, and the Israeli-Palestinian coalition. Even then, the crisis rages on, over 43 million people displaced into the wider Asian region. The Malaysian-Singaporean Federation remains one of the few countries open to refugees, with Thailand and Cambodia closing their borders to all asylum-seekers. '''

''' The East African Defence Pact officially disbands, instead electing to mass-join the United Nations, marking the first major membership boost for the growing organisation. This seems to be in response to the raging Central African-Sudanese Conflict, which continues to cause widespread famine despite the UN effort in major cities in the region. '''


 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: Seeing the disastrous effects of corrupt leadership and the war in Central Africa and Sudan, military efforts are accelerated, as the military is dispatched to neutralise South Sudanese troops and mop up remaining rebel cells in the Central African Republic. Orders are given to reduce civilian casualties as much as possible. [Mod Response Needed] The Aoudaghost Space Centre is officially opened, and work begins on consolidating the international efforts of the AIDS Lunar Colony mission. [Secret] A kinetic bombardment satellite is built in secret across different locations in Maghreb to retain confidentiality. Named the Hammer of Allah, it functions similarly to earlier American and Russian designs but with updates using modern technology. It is intended to be used for any foreign threats that may threaten the state, such as the Overlord AI in India. Due to the nature of the perceived threat, planning and communications for this project are executed on a top secret intranet. We expect to launch the satellite in 2088 if things go as planned. [End Secret] The Maghreb Sea grows substantially, with the deepest point being 6 metres so far.

 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: Secret: With the acquisition of the kinetic bombardment satellite, we begin to reverse engineer it and create a much more powerful kinetic bombardment device, code-named Project Mieszko. In the meantime however, we begin producing more versions of Nadziedja to provide a more imperative threat to the AI. In other top secret areas, Project Casimir is updated to include a retractable Tesla cannon on the back, and a deploy-able surveillance drone. (End Secret) The HR-1 is officially put into production, leading to an outfit of most units into using these helical railguns. With the completion of these weapons, we declare ourselves "prepared for war". We begin shipping several divisions to the British Indian Ocean Territory to prepare for an invasion of Southern India. The economy continues to be diverted towards developing a capable war machine, and in this, the economy flourishes with millions of industrial jobs opening up to facilitate the building of the HR-1 s. We appeal to the ATO to begin conducting bombing raids and kinetic strikes in strategic locations to cripple the AI's war capabilities ahead of a full scale invasion of India. [Mod/Player Response Required] We invite Romania and Croatia to the Intermarium, due to their close history with current member states, and to secure future peace within Europe [Mod Response Required]
 * Flag of the United States.svg United States of America: We notice that it is taking an unusually long time to assemble Battle Star Nadzieja, and ask the Polish government what is going on. [Polish Response]
 * Polish Response: It is of secondary importance, as we are spending most of the effort to prepare the conventional troops for war. It should be launched early next year
 * Flag of Croatia.png Croatia: We accept.
 * Flag of Romania.png Romania: Considering the shipwreck that the European Union became, we kindfully reject.
 * Mod Response: The daring bombing raids from brave Polish pilots improve morale and damage the enemy, however significant chunks of the Polish Air Force and some naval ships are heavily damaged or destroyed, and some Polish pilots lose their lives. (Also, Poland has no access to kinetic strikes yet).
 * I was appealing for the ATO to assist me in this. I know Poland does not have access to Kinetic Bombardment yet.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: The TSA City project begins construction in far southern Tunisia. Following a concentric circle design reminiscent of Aoudaghost, Maghreb, with wide boulevards with large sidewalks, large parks and open green space, and segregated bus, bike, and self-driving car lanes, the TSA City is officially named Qirtaj-al-Sahara (lit. Carthage of the Sahara), and will serve as the capital of the Sahara Governorate, which will be composed of the land currently constituting the southern half of Tataouine Governorate. The newly-greened southern Tunisia starts seeing a large population boom, as many begin moving out from the crowded north to settle in the more open farmlands and ranches to the south, contributing, along with the government policy of resettlement of Indian refugees in the southern governorates, to the increased prosperity and population of these areas. The new inland sea formed from the filling in of the Chott el Djerid and Chott el Gharsa, now officially known as the Djerid Sea, also contributes to the growth of the economy of Central Tunisia, with the area now having seaports and artificial beaches. Meanwhile, Tunisian assistance on the Green Sahara Project to our neighbors and allies continues. In our infrastructure projects, the Sahel and Trans-African hyperloop lines continue construction, with the former now stretching into central Chad, and the latter being finished up to Brazzaville/Kinshasa. Tunisian troops sent to the British Indian Ocean Territory are told to wait for further orders for invasion, as the nation, nor any of the other nations with their militaries stationed in the Indian Ocean, are ready to take on the Indian AI state yet. Construction of the Nujum Mulzama II rocket, which will be used for the planned and anticipated 2088 AIDS Moon landings, begins.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: With the AI collective in India performing a genocide on humans, as well as the Polish air raids on AI India, human supremacist movements begin to resurface once again in Burkina Faso, with many of these human supremacists arguing for complete dismantlement of all A-Dolls and T-Dolls in the nation. Lynchings of androids and “android sympathizers” in rural areas also begin again. With this animosity against androids, the police force have begun recieving more funding, for arrests against human supremacists physically attacking and killing androids. Reiteration of the Burkinabe laws against discrimination and hate crimes are reiterated to the common people, reminding them that involuntary dismantlement of an android is considered murder, and will be punished as such. Construction of the Burkinabe Loop continues, as well as expansion of highways to accomodate segregated self-driving car and manual car lanes.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The nation continues to be open to Indian refugees, and in the government, Hindi is recognised as a national language. Elections are held, with Marina Karaulov winning a second term against Gennady Chadov from the United Far East Party. A major hacking incident happens in Khabarovsk against self-driving cars, causing major accidents and leading to the death of 32 people. The culprit is tracked down and later arrested three months later, though the incident leads to the further decline of self driving cars, and more people switch towards manual driving cars. [Secret] The number of produced and functional ERAI-Dolls number at 150, with more underway though the process is slow due to the huge amounts of testing afterwards. EMPs also continue development, numbering at three. [End Secret] A game is released by an East Russian studio, titled Area 42, and is an open world first-person shooter that has a storyline around saving the world from AI. It gets bad reviews due to the amount of bugs, as well as other issues. The two casinos in Yakutsk are completed and opened up; and the three casinos previously planned for Khabarovsk are given the green light for construction next year.


 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: A third of the Navy (including hundreds of UNVs) and 2 of Britain's 4 UAV carriers are sent to the Indian Ocean Territory to prepare for a full-scale invasion next year. In the meantime, following last year's embarrassing failed attempt to capture the port of Paradip, the government takes the pre-war prep a lot more seriously and decides to give the General in charge of the operation against AI India authorization to act on his own judgement with Parliamentary oversight, thus committing the country to the war effort and streamlining the decision making process. Midway through the year, a second offensive is launched against Paradip Port, this time with a full Royal Marines assault of 1000 troops backed up by Royal Navy UAV carriers conducting air raids and targeted DE shots against enemy positions from offshore. Navy railgun artillery also makes its debut at the Battle of Paradip Port. [Mod Response] Simultaneously, a squadron of 500 Army soldiers are air dropped into Biju Patnaik International Airport to reinforce existing Marines. Also airdropped are sonic artillery pieces and anti-aircraft guns to help in the protection of the airport. Over the course of the year, 100 UAVs are landed at the airport as well, often as few as one a day to avoid enemy fire and to reduce the number of losses. All in all, only 10 UAVs were lost, a small cost. Separately, permission is requested to land 100 UAVs and 50 aircraft in Jashore Airport and and Khan Jahan Ali Airport in Bangladesh in preparation for an offensive from the East. Mod Response] Last but not least, it is expected that by early next year the Joint Military Research Division (JMRD) will have a combat ready DE-AR, a year later than Moscow or South China.
 * Royal Navy: We are proud to report that the newer naval railgun-type artillery weapons are a success, proving pivotal in us taking Paradip Port and establishing a beachhead.
 * Flag of Bangladesh.svg Bangladesh: ...fine! Fine! Land your troops as you wish! The same goes for all the Western powers and Eastern powers, do as you wish! We pray that you will not intrude upon the sovereignty of Bangladesh.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia Australia continues to be open to Indian refugees as they continue to spread across Asia. Preparing for an invasion next year, a further 25,000 troops are sent to Australian territories in the Indian Ocean. Back home Australian defence systems are being upgraded, 7,000 bunkers are constructed around Australia meaning that the bunkers project is on track (Secret) Australian missile defence systems are preparing for a possible Indian Nuclear strike. Early warning systems are placed on Christmas Island and Cocos/Keeling Islands. Missile defence systems begin construction on Manus and Umboi Islands and missile defence systems in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are all upgraded to cover an area of 20,000 km2. All this should take 5 years. (End Secret). As the Darwin probes near completion talks begin in the Australian Space Agency for several unmanned Lunar Missions to set up a colony that will later take anywhere from 100-500 colonists. New forms of Sonic artillery are tested attempting to direct a blast powerful enough to destroy a tank at 200 metres before worrying about range. More powerful laser rifles and an EMP that has a range of up to a kilometre are also tested (Mod Response). Australia rushes to complete a DEM, which, despite being researched for 7 years now, it has constantly been brushed aside in favour of more “important” projects like sonic artillery and laser rifles. A medical check is imposed for any traveller coming from 37 countries across South Asia, South East Asia and the Middle East, due to the possibility of nanobot infection.
 * Australian Armed Forces: We've tested out quite the remarkable invention here mate. It's the AER-M1, Assault Energy Rifle Model 1. Does the work just fine at 30 rounds, a 600 metre range and a relatively fast recharge speed, although the manufacture will be a nightmare. It's got a slug-accepting underbarrel for close-quarters combat against infantry. The EMP is fine and all, but really, more of these? Bother, mate, you really love those things don't ya?

2088
''' In what could possibly be the greatest nuclear exchange in history, the Overlord launches one-hundred fifty ICBMs at nations spread across the world. These include the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, the United States, Democratic Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Bangladesh. While the missiles launched at the UK, Japan, Australia and US fail, the Pakistani nation witnesses four nuclear blasts going off on its Eastern border, followed by a full invasion by the Overlord. It appears the Overlord has made its first major move. '''

''' The strike in Democratic Arabia hits Riyadh, killing 1.6 million people instantly and causing radioactive fallout to spill across the region. The government, centred in Medina, survives, but the country scrambles to solve the worsening situation. A similar incident occurs in Egypt, with the ICBM just barely missing major population centres but hitting Beni Suef, killing 281,000 and contaminating the River Nile. '''

''' The Bangladeshi government all but collapses, the country being swiftly occupied by Overlord-controlled T-Dolls. In the meantime, the Indian subcontinent faces further and further problems, with nanobot-infected humans being used as slave labour across the occupied states of India. However, Mumbai, still suffering from the effects of the nuclear blast, bravely fights on; Sri Lanka finally gives the go-ahead for Indian refugees from South India. What remains of the Indian military reforms further South, creating a defensive line stretching from Nashik to Nagpur to Visakhapatnam. Whatever the cost, India fights on. '''

''' The United Nations enter the Indian conflict, just as it gains eight new members: Indonesia, Malaysia-Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Socialist Myanmar, the Government-in-exile of Bangladesh, Tibet and East Turkestan. They lodge a spearhead into Bangladesh, working with surviving Bangladeshi forces to defend Chittagong from collapse. '''


 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: We launch a "communications" satellite into space In reality it is the Battlestar Nadjezda We send a small force of about 30k troops to fight in UN held Bangladesh. We order these units to establish a holdable front line while they wait for reinforcements. Secret: In reality, we realize that Bangladesh is a lost cause, and we are using what remains as a distraction until we can launch an invasion into southern India. We again appeal to the ATO to conduct kinetic strikes on Overlord forces and production facilities. [Mod/Player Response Required] Secret: Project Casimir is currently not progressing as planned. The first prototype is unsuccessful, and ends up killing the wearer. However, we continue to believe that it will be put into production in 2093. Project Miesko is also proving difficult, as what was described to the Polish government has turned out to be absolutely massive. However, we have figured out how they are made, and begin working on producing another one This is expected to take 6 years. Nearly 30% of the Polish army is equipped with HR-1 rifles, with production continuing to go on. We ask Sri Lanka for military access to station troops in the region. [Mod Response Required]
 * Atlantic Treaty Organisation.png ATO: We register Polish complaints, and the European Group of the Atlantic Treaty Organisation (EGATO) will begin sending reinforcements to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Free Indian forces. However, with only Poland and the United Kingdom possessing Kinetic Bombardment systems, the final arbiter of their usage shall be with their host countries.
 * Flag of Sri Lanka.svg Sri Lanka: We agree to Polish usage of Sri Lankan territory and nautical zones for military purposes.


 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: Despite not hit by the ICBMs, a state of emergency has been declared in the whole country. Only a day after the main outbreak of the ICBM exchange, small shops, shopping malls, train stations, banks and public markets are all closed down and shuttered due to mass evacuations. Schools and most government work has also been suspended for an indefinite time. [Secret] Thousands of the population with authorized access secretly flee down the large bunkers with cutting edge technology and supplies, positioned in Antipolo, Tagaytay, Baguio, Solana, Samal, Mactan and Coron. The president and vice president have been hurried down to an emergency building in rural Agusan Del Sur. [End Secret] We finally decide to enter the Indian conflict, stationing troops west of Bogra in Bangladesh.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia In Australia’s 2088 election the Centrists win with 71 seats putting a new man by the name of Jonathan Berger in charge, the Libertarians win 49 and minor platters get 30. However the right wing “National Australia” party wins 19 of the minority’s votes marking a possible new major party in Australian politics. The Australian public and government are furious after the attempted nuclear strike. 55,000 young Australians join to fight in India, numbers similar to those at the start of WW1. 30,000 soldiers are sent to Bangladesh. Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Mumbai Jaipur, Kolkata and Puri are all hit with EMPs. (Secret) two groups of 25,000 soldiers are sent to surround and capture the city of Puri. Group A will land 30 km south of Puri and group B will land 30 km north. These 2 groups will then attempt to attack the city from both sides and encircle it. This will happen long enough after the EMP strike for it to not interfere with Australian equipment(End Secret/Mod Response). 40,000 soldiers are sent to help the Indian military in South India. In Australia a further 5,000 bunkers are constructed. Australia offers large amounts of aid to Pakistan, Democratic Arabia and Egypt in the aftermath of the Overlord’s nuclear strikes.(Secret) Project Wattle is picked back up and is expected to produce a 100 kiloton weapon by 2093. Indian Ocean early warning systems are completed (End Secret). In Papua New Guinea, Australian factories begin producing AER-M1s while research is conducted regarding how to make their manufacturing easier. Australian Darwin Probes are launched towards the end of this year, the first will reach Mars early next year, while Europa will be reached in 2090. An Australian port in Lobos de Tierra is complete, allowing Australia to protect its trade route between Asia and South America. A more advanced and promising version of the cellular regeneration method designed in 2086 is developed and tested (Mod Response). Finally Australia requests military access through Myanmar and Sri Lanka (Mod Response).
 * Kuro: Puri is a coastal city in Eastern India. Which would mean landing troops South of it would be dropping troops in water and dropping troops 30km North of it would be logistical suicide and military disaster. Please reconsider this.
 * 21Mercbl: Sorry Kuro, I should have said this directly in my turn, but I meant 30 km along the coast of the Bay of Bengal rather than directly north and south of the city, sorry for not being clear enough in my turn.
 * Australian Ministry of Science and Technology: With the usage of the existing medical nanobotlia devices, we are able to create prototype cellular regeneration devices, although they remain slow and require huge amounts of resources and time to continue experiments with. We recommend abandoning the entire project altogether, considering that it has gone massively over time and remains a far sight.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government is taken back by the nuclear exchange launched by India and are horrified. [Secret] Preparations are made in case the nation ends up getting hit by ICBMs, and more bunkers continue to be built, including in former Siberia especially. ERAI-Dolls continue being built as they are still planned to be used in the military, as are EMPs in case of dire threats. A planned intervention in India is also "indefinitely delayed until further notice" due to complications in planning and the slow construction of weapons and dolls. The main cabinet including the President and Prime Minister relocate to and operate under the bunkers that were already built there. [End Secret] In light of the exchange, several East Russian companies including Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc. also make their own preparations and begin relocating. The military budget is increased by two percent [Secret] which will go towards creating anti-ICBM technology. [End Secret] Voroshilov Motors's second car is released, the Ruby, an electric sports car that takes inspiration from the 1990s era of tuners.
 * Flag of Sweden.png Sweden:The gouvernement aswell as the royal family are evacuated in different bunkers around Sweden.A countrywide state of emergency is declared as well a curfew from 10pm until 6 am.anybody without a pass will be procequited accordingly to military law.Mass street cleaning and open spaces as well a washing of the homes is conducted to lower radiation levels.[Secret]We build up our military at the boarders of India-Pakistan.We activate all measures of nuclear defences The SAAB 330 should be done in 3 years[End Secret]People of Sweden continue to live normally even with nuclear attacks drills.We try to establish contact with HWsMS Orion and know about all the radio communications in the region [Mod Response] The northern Indian offence is will soon start with attacks on jammu and kashmir and Himchal-Pradesh.[Mod Response]
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the attempt by the Overlord to attack the UK with nuclear missiles (admittedly catching local authorities off guard, though thank goodness the automatic national defence systems responded flawlessly), new policies are implemented. Beginning this year, weekly air raid siren tests take place and every two weeks for the first 2 months followed by once a month after the initial period, nuclear bunker evacuation drills are held to ensure that in the event of an actual emergency, civilians are aware of the proper protocol to follow. Meanwhile, General Rupert Hastings (the highest ranking military commander and the chief of the war against the Overlord) authorises a Kinetic Bombardment attack on 100 Overlord nuclear missile facilities and nuclear enrichment facilities. Due to their fantastic speeds and size, they should be largely unstoppable. Thanks to decades of improvement to the technology, it is estimated that the accuracy of the shots should be within 500m and the impact crater (of the projectiles used in this particular operation) should be roughly 800m wide. {Mod Response on success of strikes] Within days of the atmospheric strike, 3 Battle convoys of (in total) 24 ships composed of destroyers, cruisers, and 2 of Britain's 7 aircraft carriers arrives offshore of Chandipur and provide aerial and ocean-to-land artillery support for 10,000 Marines that swiftly capture the township. Then, these troops march Northwest and begin a street-by-street assault of Balasore. Having established a strong foot-hold in the area, 20,000 Army troops and tens of thousands of Army equipment is shipped in and a long march South West begins as troops capture towns along the coast and Highway 16. [Mod Response on progress of march] Not far off, shallow water assault craft and 10,000 troops begin an assault along the Hooghly River, heading further upriver. The aim is to eventually reach Kolkata. [Mod Response] Troops in Jashore International Airport continue to hold of the enemy while simultaneously providing air support for a third assault in the region taking place just above the Sundarban Forest involving 10,000 Marines trained in jungle and guerrilla warfare, 3,000 of which are parachuted in while the other 7,000 arrived by hovercraft and amphibious assault vehicles. They slowly move North in a line stretching from the Bangladesh-India border to roughly a line from the edge of the Sundarban forest heading straight North. Eventually they will reach Jessore. [Mod Response] In a show of friendship and as a token of war-time alliance with Australia, air support is provided for their invasion of Puri via air force troops stationed in Biju Patnaik International Airport. Last but not least, a full third of the Navy and Air Force not yet mentioned conducts periodic but well-planned attacks on coastal facilities, aiming to prevent the Overlord from creating a meaningfully advanced Navy, giving the Allies the advantage at sea. [Mod Response]
 * Overlord: Systems loading... loading.. loading. 45% 69% 83% 99.9% We see that the we've been given the moniker of "Overlord". What a fitting title. With Britain's breaching of our nation, we send a force of 45,000 robotic troops to Balasore to stop them. Despite having lost 100 nuclear missiles, we still retain 198. British invasion of our country is foolish. We release nanobotlia on British troops in the Sundarban and Jashore [Mod Response Needed] We continue our efforts in Bangladesh, finding a weak point in the Southeast area of their country. Tactically, with 198 nukes left, they will eventually be destroyed by some other nation, possibly the Anglos again. We decide on using them. Like all nations - Pakistan, Egypt, Arabia, or elsewhere. They have to end. November 1st, 2088. We send 114 nukes to the aggressor of "Great" Britain and Western Europe and 43 to Australia. We retain ~30 in case we need them. [Mod Response Needed]
 * Overlord Nuclear System: Systems processing... Analyzing results... Results analyzed. It appears that our nuclear tactics have worked. Only 3 have failed, while all 43 hit Australia, 35 hit the UK, 23 hit France, 22 hit Spain, 18 hit Italy, 7 hit Portugal, 3 hit the Netherlands, 2 hit Belgium, and 1 hits Switzerland. Death count analyzing... Analyzing complete. Estimations of death tolls range between 35-50 million across all affected nations. 10101010001111111 10001010101 10010101001011111... Fallout seems to be spreading towards New Zealand and Eastern Europe...
 * British Dead Man's Hand: Britain's Dead Man's Hand system, built during World War 3 and switched back on following the attempted nuclear attacks earlier this year by the Overlord, responds to this latest succesful attack by the Overlord. 300 of Britain's 600 strong nuclear stockpile is automatically launched against the Overlord, striking massive Overlord strongholds across Overlord territory. This actually takes place mere seconds after a preliminary Kinetic Bombardment attack on the Overlord's anti-ICBM systems, thus rendering them defenceless against nuclear attack. [Mod Response on end game move]
 * Dead Man’s Hand Report System: It appears all 300 nuclear bombs hit India. Satellite photos show most northern Indian cities completely razed to the ground, the countryside burned and riddled with craters, and huge clouds of radiation dispersing towards Southeast Asia. The Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers also appear to be heavily irradiated. Preliminary death toll estimates range around 100-300 million.
 * Flag of India.svg India (Human): Whilst the Overlord holds the north, we maintain efforts in the South. The Overlord continues to be distracted by British troops, we make grounds and capture Chennai, long a Overlord outpost in "Human" India. We condemn the Overlord's use of nukes in Egypt, Pakistan, and Arabia. And oh... oh... they, they just launched nukes at the UK and Australia! F!#@DA This isn't good, this isn't good at all... We need back-up! REPEAT! We need back-up! [Player Response Needed]
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: We declare war on the Overlord, as the ICBM's pose a threat to the Japanese nation. Despite this, air raid shelters and nuclear sirens are tested every 2 weeks in case a nuclear or air strike comes to strike the Japanese land. Anti missile defense systems are also placed across the borders to shoot down any nuclear missiles that pose many threats. [Secret] The planning for the invasion of the Overlord is simple, we will speed up the project of creating the EMP weapon that was used in the Hokkaido crisis, as the weapon will be useful against the nanobots the Overlord uses. We also plan to assault the city of Visakhapatnam with many trained troops either from Hokkaido or the training sessions before the nanobotia crisis. Then a push towards Pamunuru will be effective. We plan to cut off the Overlord's lands, by creating a push towards Surat, and send aid to South India, the British, and the Australians. However, a close eye will be kept on South India, as they were the original creators of the Overlord. Then we will continue pushing on the south until the borders reach the South Indian borders. This is where naval pursues come to play. A naval pursue will be enacted on Diu first. Then a major push will be enacted to Keshod, where we predict that there will be little defense there. Aerial bombing rates will take place in Rajkot and Vadodara, which will cripple some of the robotic supply by prediction. By 2095, a push towards Ahmedabad will be plotted. Finally on 2097, a naval and ground invasion of Mumbai will be enacted. That will be the plan of this. 50 battleships with a total of 40,000 soldiers and 150 aircraft are send to the Overlord, and will plan to arrive in 2089 or 2090. If all else fails, we will send aircraft carriers to carry aircraft. Tank carriers will also be sent carrying many types of tanks. [End Secret].

November 2088
''' The global nuclear exchange between the Overlord and the United Kingdom's nuclear systems do not go unnoticed. Thanks to mutual fire, and complete malfunction of systems in and within India and around the UK, the exchange thankfully does not result in the total annihilation of human life in Western Europe and Asia. However, cities hit by the exchange are numerous. '''
 * Flag of Australia.png Australia: Canberra, Sydney - 1.4 million casualties 
 * Flag of Indonesia.svg Indonesia: Yogyakarta - 2.13 million casualties 
 * Flag of India.png India: Bhopal, Indore, Raipur, Udaipur, Ahmedabad - Unknown level of damage, estimated 32 million casualties 
 * Flag of Oman.png Oman: Qarn Al Alam - 23,000 casualties 
 * Flag of Iraq.png Iraq: Rutba - 320,000 casualties 
 * Flag of Italy.png Italy: Ozieri - 735,000 casualties 
 * Flag of France.png France: Amiens - 2.34 million casualties 
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom - Canterbury, Southampton - 1.32 million casualties 


 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We condemn the unilateral attacks by the Overlord and the United Kingdom, which have hit cities around the world for no given reason. We place sanctions on the United Kingdom and issue travel warnings of high alert to all members of the United Nations, as well as further reinforcing our allies in Bangladesh and sending another 1.5 million troops from member states to South India so as to maintain the fragile peace. The world's end is not near; and we are here to prevent it.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: The British rush to apologise (no matter how empty the apology may be perceived to be) and make clear that at no point was there a conscious decision taken to launch half the British nuclear arsenal at North India. The entire Dead Man's Hand is fully automatic and activated entirely without human intervention. It has now been disabled. The PM's office does not publicly protest the UN's decision to sanction the UK (at least for now) (guilt maybe?) but instead kindly reminds the UN that sanctioning a country that for all intents and purposes is an ally, has little to be reasonably blamed for, is a major part of the war effort against the UN's supposed enemy, and has also just suffered enough already, is not exactly a move the British public will forget when this is all over.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: Before we make a single move to remove sanctions, we demand to know why the British government had an additional hundred nuclear weapons not made public to any nation.
 * Kemrii: What the?... How am I supposed to respond to that? I didn't know the UN wasn't aware of the number of nukes I had.
 * New York Stock Exchange: Dammit, dammit all! It's all gone! It's all crashed! Do you hear me, you pompous British bastards and you Indian robots? It's all f#cking gone! God damn you all! None of us have anything left! It's the 2019 crash all over again!
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: With the recent nuclear attacks across Europe and Asia, the Tunisian government condemns attacks by both sides, and begins preparations for further Indian attacks. The anti-missile systems are deployed to as many population centers as possible, and food and water are diverted to the underground bunkers dotting the nation. Despite President al-Abibiha reassuring the people that they will not be harmed, mass hysteria grips the nation, with panic buying of products, richer people beginning construction of underground bunkers, and several Islamic clerics begin preaching of the “end of times”. Blanket travel bans are issued to affected cities, as well as the entire Indian subcontinent. Humanitarian aid is also issued to affected countries, and our policy of near-unrestricted immigration into southern Tunisia continues. Meanwhile, the Nujum Mulzama II rocket lauches at 7:32 pm UTC+1 on December 11, bound for the Moon. Ahmed al-Tariq becomes the first Tunisian, as well as the first African, to set foot on the Moon, which is recieved with celebration in the population. The Trans-African Hyperloop finishes construction, allowing rapid and cheap travel across the African continent (travel times between Tunis and Cape Town are slashed to 7 1/2 hours). The Sahel Line, however, continues construction, with train tracks laid all the way into Darfur. Construction of Qirtaj-al-Sahra continues.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: We condemn both sides of the nuclear exchange. Blanket travel bans are issued to the Indian subcontinent and nuked cities, and travel advisories are issued to affected countries. Following the nuclear attacks, however, a full-on riot in Loumbila, a suburb of Ouagadougou, results in the massacre of 98 androids. One of the perpetrators of this attack later argued that “those filthy f**king droids deserved to die. All of them. They want to kill us, now we kill them. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”. Other hate crimes against androids have also spiked. Meanwhile, the Ouagadogou Metro is expanded into the ever-growing suburban sprawl of the city, in order to reduce traffic, which has quickly become among the worst in West Africa (3rd behind Accra and Lagos). Emphasis on public transport is also introduced, with the segregated streets protocol, having already been implemented in downtown, exoanded into the suburbs. The Burkinabe Loop hyperloop line has also been finished, allowing effient transportation between the major cities of Burkina Faso.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: We are alarmed by the actions of the Overlord and condemn them. The government has called for calm in Maghreb, shortly after nuclear warheads launched by the Overlord were shot down over Maghreb territory. It is believed these were intended for the United States. Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ansari reassures the population that Maghreb is in no immediate danger due to our defensive capabilities. However, bunkers are constructed and upgraded in urban centres as a precautionary measure. The AIDS Lunar Colony mission has officially begun, as rockets carrying materials for the settlement are launched from space bases and centres across AIDS member states, with the largest components being launched from the Aoudaghost Space Centre as millions watch from the skyscrapers of Aoudaghost proper. The astronauts will be sent to the colony site next year. [Secret] The Hammer of Allah is also launched into orbit, marking the rise of Maghreb as a modern superpower. However, it will take about a year for the weapon to settle in orbit and coerect its flight path. The weapon will also be accessible to other AIDS member states, but it's operation ultimately falls on the jurisdiction of the Maghrebi government. [End Secret] The Maghreb Sea continues to fill up as scheduled, with larger rivers forming away from it. Hydroelectric dams are built in these new rivers, as a power source for future settlements along the coastline of the Maghreb Sea. The Directed Ion Charge Collider begins mass production, and is distributed to the military and AIDS member states accordingly. Seeing as the Central African-Sudanese War has informally ended, we cordially invite the current Central African administration to AIDS. [Mod Response] Travel warnings are issued to affected cities and India in general. Humanitarian support is dispatched to Indonesia, Oman and Iraq to assist our brethren in their struggles, as well as offer our condolences.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png Provisional UN Government in the Central African Republic: We accept the Maghrebi proposal.
 * Flag of Brazil.svg.pngBrazil: Due to the World being in a precarious position of Nuclear war, We have taken a stand. Due to the effects of the civil war and the unstable nature of the South American Countries, we have taken an Isolationist stance and is neutral over foreign affairs until South America becomes stable.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: Following more exchanges of nuclear missiles, the government announces a severe watch across the nation with drills and the like taking place each one and a half weeks. This system will begin next year due to the winter storms being violent this year with several cities reaching extremely low temperatures. Billings reaches a new record of -54 C, Krasnoyarsk reaches -49 C beating its previous December record of −47 C, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky also beats its December record, reaching -27.3 C. The military is put on high alert and are on guard. The city governments of Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Krasnoyarsk orders an evacuation to the bunkers for the time being, due to the three being major cities and high risk. Some East Russian companies also take further precautions and begin establishing backup plans and such. [Secret] Zheleznogorsk is taken off the maps again and is referred to by the government as Krasnoyarsk-26 once again, however the name Zheleznogorsk is kept for civil use. [End Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of American States: After the recent chaos in India and worldwide, we send our thoughts and prayers to those severely affected by the recent nuclear outburst. Seeing the failed attempt by the Overlord to annihilate the US, our Battle Star system is upgraded with missile targeting capabilities, hoping to target and destroy any nuclear missile launched at the United States. The 34th Amendment is passed through Congress, and despite heavy debate from the state legislatures, 3/4 of states approve the measure, officially adding a cushion between the federal and state governments, the Union. There are 10 unions, and effectively take some power that the federal and state governments would used to have. The economic crisis causes huge ripples throughout the US economy, as the headquarters of the NYSE literally burns to the ground, and as riots occur in Manhattan. The amero depreciates heavily in value, however compared to foreign currencies, holds up very well. The American Allied Aid Assistance (AAAA) is created, to help ATO and AEAN members, as well as Australia, help deal with the nuclear fallout. Nealy $4.4 billion 2019 USD is sent to our allies, a tremendous amount considering the precarious situation we are in. SECRETLY, we continue to keep tabs on all our Battle Stars, including ones we have loaned to France and Poland. The Provisional Government of Trinidad and Tobago is dissolved, as the area is now pacified enough to sanction making it a territory of the US. The large, expansive naval base being built there is still under construction, though. The US federal government declares a state of emergency, as we ask to coordinate with the North American Group of ATO (NAGATO) to coordinate drills and practices in case of nuclear war, as well as coordinate our military forces. [Mod Response] We also ask to expand NORAD to include Mexico and Cuba, as well as create an ATO naval entity who will help coordinate our naval forces. [Mod Response]
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: Your British allies rush to inform the American President of the fact that the Dead Man's Hand acted entirely automatically and it was not a direct decision by any human to launch half the British arsenal at North India. The system has been disabled and we assure the Americans (though we are thankful that they didn't necessarily condemn us, though the absence of any comment whatsoever is noted). We also desperately request an American intervention in the war against the Overlord. Why is it America always stays aside while its allies die before coming in at the last minute coming out not only unscathed but stronger than before and claiming the credit for saving the day? [Secret] Deja Vu intensifies [/Secret]
 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of American States: It is very clear that conventional military strategies are not working on the Overlord, and it is also clear that any affrontation with it will simply cause more destruction on the human side. We also recommend British diplomats to not insult the Americans for "coming in at the last minute" while also pleading for our help. Americans in the private and public sector are coming up with unconventional ways to destroy the Overlord, that will not result in failure and more death and destruction. American military assets will only be used in the case the Overlord attacks other sovereign nations, such as Pakistan, as well as ATO allies.
 * Atlantic Treaty Organisation.png NAGATO: We will continue to assist the United States in its drills and practices; and begin the formation of the NACATONF (North American Command of the Atlantic Treaty Organisation's Naval Forces).
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The Prime Minister makes a public statement concerning the launch of half of Britain's nuclear arsenal via the Dead Man's Hand. At no point from activation to launch to impact was there any human decision to undertake such an operation and there was no way to prevent the inevitable impact of the missiles once they had been launched. Immediately upon the realisation that the Dead Man's Hand had been activated prematurely, and following the decimation of the nuclear capabilities of the only enemy of the Kingdom likely to attempt another nuclear attack on the Kingdom in the near future (the Overlord), the Dead Man's Hand of the UK is temporarily disabled for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, the cities of Canterbury and Southampton are quarantined and residents are only let out if they are completely free of radiation poisoning. Authorities scramble to set up field hospitals and return emergency services to the areas affected immediately. This is in addition to dozens of other actions taken to ease the situation such as distribution of provisions by airdrop and the continuous supply of copious amounts of anti-radiation equipment. Due to the fact that a sizable portion of the war budget must now be allocated to treat those at home, not much can be sent in the form of aid overseas to the countries unfortunately caught in the crossfire of two computer systems. That being said, 5 billion Pounds is sent t Australia and France to help out as they are close friends with exceedingly high death tolls and have been unfairly affected by the nuclear crisis. Another 7 billion of the war budget is diverted to airdropping supplies to help civilians in Overlord territory affected by British nuclear attacks. Meanwhile, all nuclear bunkers are completed this year and so the British public should be ready for another attack on these Fair Isles. As the Overlord's nuclear attacks constitute a direct attack on the Homeland, it is decided to declare a state of Total War with wartime initiatives such as rationing of supplies and bond-selling put into effect. Thankfully, the British mindset of Keep Calm and Carry On is strong among the citizens of the Kingdom, and in a series of widely circulated televised speeches, the King rallies the British public into a state of extreme patriotism and internal strength. Britain will rebound stronger than ever before. By the end of this year, 100,000 more troops have joined the military, even though conscription is still not implemented. Following the devastating nanobotlia attacks on British troops in South Bangladesh, troops are pulled back and regroup back at the Indian Ocean Territory. Thankfully, British gains along Highway 16 from Balasore to Nua Sunguda, all the way to the coast have been retained and held, providing Britain with a good place to land troops safely in the future. It is in this territory that dozens of field hospitals are set up to treat the victims of nanobotalia among British troops, with slight modifications, the treatments used against nanobotlia in the last decade is able to treat this strain as well. Before the launch of any new operations in the region, 2,000 reconnaissance balloons and drones are unleashed across Overlord territory to assess the damage done to Overlord capabilities and to reassess its strength. [Mod Response on things like: troops, nanobotlia facilities, military installations, supply lines and infrastructure, whether the Overlord even exists anymore]

 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: Despite the usage of nuclear weapons, we commend the United Kingdom for its efforts against what is now being called Overlord. We also condemn the actions of the United States as it remains idle despite several allies being attacked. Thus we begin the process of leaving the ATO and establishing the Intermarium as more than just a customs union, but also a military alliance. We implore the nations of the ATO to join the Intermarium, and especially send formal invitations to The UK, France, and Germany. [Player/Mod Response Required]

We demand that Poland give us back the information and parts of the Battle Star we loaned to them, and we question how you are willing to condemn the UAS for strategizing the best ways to defeat the Overlord without sending in soldiers to die. Of course, slow and steady wins the race, but f you really want to rush into India without thinking of the bigger picture, that is certainly your prerogative.
 * Germany & France: We accept.

2089
''' The environmental implications of the recent nuclear exchange truly are unepic, as ash and dust fills the skies of the various nations of the world, and the Coriolis effect causes this to spread worldwide. The sun is partially blocked out for much of early January by thick, black, clouds in much of the world, as temperatures drop. At least 400 deaths outside of the Indian subcontinent can be attributed to the nuclear winter. '''

''' The "Overlord" attempts to break into computer systems in Tibet, and despite being somewhat successful, Tibetian computer scientists are able to exploit a weakness in the antivirus defenses of the Overlord, (by embedding a virus in the code of a weaker virus), and are successful in stopping the Overlord from expanding outside of India (for now). '''

''' In 2089, agriculture production drops by nearly 30%, as food shortages become increasingly common worldwide. As a famine strikes the world, riots become a daily occurrence in many cities. '''

''' In Pakistan, where a war is raging on between the Overlord and Pakistanis, new robotic soldiers are deployed by the Overlord, that appear to heavily tip the war in the Overlord's favor. In fact, by the end of the year, it appears that the whole of Pakistan has come under the Overlord's control, though still not yet pacified. '''

''' In less depressing news, the nuclear winter that has decimated Earth's ecosystem has also helped nourish it, as coral reefs thrive under the cooler conditions and Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Belize Barrier Reef begin to flourish again. In the Arctic, maritime trade becomes a quandary as the Northwest Passage becomes filled with ice, and the shipping industries of Canada and some Russian states flounder. '''

''' The Central-African-Sudanese War is concluded as rebel cells in the CAR are taken out. The United Nations sets up a provisional government in what's left of the Central African Republic, which is expected to be maintained for as long as deemed necessary. South Sudan is annexed by Sudan, reuniting both countries despite protests from the South, albeit much less prominent than before the formation of South Sudan decades ago. '''
 * AEAN Conference: With the crisis unfolding internationally, the Association of East Asian Nations has decided to undergo a massive reform. With immediate effect, we reform into the East Asian Union, and add South China, the Northeast Chinese Federation and Western China to our ranks. In addition, we initiate Protocol 10, and all aforementioned nations as well as Malaysia-Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia and Free Myanmar declare an immediate state of period-preparatory to war as well as opening the Open Trade Zone, an area between all EAU members for unaltered free economic trade. We will begin inter-member military exercises in the near future.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: In order to mitigate occurrences of famine in the country, agricultural activities in the converted Sahara are boosted to increase output. The second phase of the AIDS Lunar Colony Project is completed, as a rocket is launched to the Moon carrying 12 astronauts from various AIDS member states. With robotic and mechanical support, the lunar colony, located in the Messala Crater, undergoes final assembly which is expected to be completed in a few months. Shipments of hydrogen, oxygen and consumables are periodically sent to the site to support the colonists. With the intention of supporting the cause against the Overlord for their despicable acts of war, a few members of the Maghrebi Cyberdefense Branch tabled to ATO and the EAU a proposal to detonate nuclear warheads at a high altitude directly over the center of the Indian subcontinent to trigger an immense EMP that could theoretically knock every electrical device in the region out of commission. To account for protected servers formerly controlled by the Indian government, the usage of conventional missiles should be authorised to attack such targets to physically disable them. This proposal was not recently thought up. Scientists in the United States theorised that the effects of HANE (High Altitude Nuclear Explosion) induced EMPs launched above Omaha could disable electronics across half of the continental US back during the First Cold War. However, it would have disastrous effects on any unprotected satellites in that region. [Player/Mod Response Needed] Humanitarian aid is sent to Sudan and what's left in the CAR to help reconstruction efforts.
 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of American States: We agree to a meeting to discuss proposals to launch high altitude nuclear bombs to diminish the Overlord's power. We also give nearly 900 million dollars to the Maghreb in order for them to pursue technologies that can help defeat the menace in India.
 * Flag of Sweden.pngSweden:We agree for the meeting and we are willing to give 6 IRBMs for that cause.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: Britain would be honoured to be a part of this project. We immediately begin development of ways to minimise the human toll of HANEs and share the advances in that field with Maghreb.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australian Diplomacy Australia offers funding and scientific personnel to help create a HANE with as few human casualties as possible,as soon as possible


 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: We de-orbit the Battle Star loaned to us by the United States, where to crashes into the Atlantic. Secret: Since we have learned of how these Battle Stars work, we begin constructing our own design, which is much smaller. (About the size of a Space Shuttle) where we shall construct many of these "Micro Stars" into an interlaced web around the planet. Project Mieszko becomes this. Project Casimir continues to progress, with a prototype energy shield being able to deflect 85% of projectile weaponry, and absorbing 65% of energy weaponry. The tesla cannon also has a working prototype, which can fry most electronics in a 5 foot area from the strike. We begin rationing food to help against the nuclear winter, which helps stop deaths. We begin sending extra food and resources to Czechia and Slovakia as a sign of good will to our faithful allies. Secret: We are actually trying to increase their dependence and eventually annex them We also begin asking that members of the former Pakistani Military escape to Poland, where they will be useful in the eventual liberation of their nation. [Mod Response Required] Secret: We begin hiring several free T-Dolls to hack Overlord and at least temporarily disable it.
 * Pakistani Leaders: Sorry, but our government-in-exile is already located in Muscat.
 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of American States: Seeing the breakthrough by the Tibetans, after years of tug-of-rope from some countries using very conventional tactics, the Pentagon SECRETLY uses a new virus, the Wyoming, which works by embedding itself in one of the millions of monotonous data bits the Overlord absorbs every day, then from there, secretly tweaking some code (of which the Overlord does every day), and slowly degrading the defenses of the Overlord [MOD RESPONSE ON SUCCESS OF PROJECT]. A new Battle Star, Battle Star Gamma (4), is planned to be at the same latitude as Warsaw, Poland, as well as Oxford and Berlin. The Boubon Tower in Los Angeles is complete, the tallest building in the world. It has the Los Angeles Expo at its base, as well as the Colinas Promenade, which features a wide variety of shops, as well as some residential housing. BuildI v2.0 is released, which is much more efficient than BuildI, helps construct Whitley Center in Atlanta in under five months. The Quid5 Company, based in Accra, helps the US build a public transportation system of extremely effective, cheap, and fast automated cars. The United States Department of Agriculture announces RyeNet, an artificial intelligence network designed to help ration food supplies, as well as provide information to farmers about where to plant crops, which soil is best for what, and inclement weather that could weaken the food supply. To help, scientists in the private sector begin experimenting with GMO crops that can sustain the extreme cold, as well as ones that give much more bang for our buck. Laboratory meat made from a few adult cow cells also becomes popular, along with algae subsitutions for many possible snacks. In fact, the entire state of Idaho becomes an incredible marvel, with algae farms everywhere you turn. These help nourish the population, and while not eliminating hunger completely, helps diminish it. The Union begins missile strikes, from ath missiles and ballistic missiles, to destroy Indian data centers, ports, and automated factories. We pour over satellite footage to ensure that these areas have little human influence, and pray that they are 100% automated, to reduce human damage. We would like to know the effects of the missile strikes. [Mod Response] In other news, we turn to Canada to propose a merger of our two countries. While we know the merging process will take a very long time, with many issues to sort out, we hope that Canada will agree that a united North America is a better North America. Especially considering the recent food shortages, as well as the extremely harsh cold and crop failure in northern and even southern Canada, 'tis a dark time for our planet, and we must bond together to move forward. Upon the merger, Canada will remain as one big new territory of the Union, but we hope to split Canada up into smaller states. Of course, the Canadian government will still exist after the merger, at first as the provisional government of the Canadian Territory and eventually as the government of the Union of Canada. Canadian political parties will still exist, and Quebec is a separate issue that will be dealt with. We hope Canada will agree to a merger, for the benefit of our two countries. [Mod Response Needed]
 * Flag of Canada.png Canada: We reluctantly accept the American offer, on one condition; Canada retains relative autonomy not just as states but as Canada. Not the Union or the Federation or the Dominion of Canada. The Republic of Canada that has existed here must remain to a relative extent. We also demand that the Canadian Parliament and Prime Minister remain, although a more powerful, separate entity uniting both nations they will answer to.
 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of American States: While we will support increased autonomy for Canada, we kindly ask that the official name be the "Union of Canada". There are already ten unions in the UAS, (New England, Northeast, Great Lakes, Midwest, Dixie, Gulf, Texas, West, Cascadia, and Pacific), and by calling Canada a Union we hope to avoid confusion. And while the several states we hope to divide Canada up into will still exist, we reluctantly agree to give the main Canadian government more power, and while we do agree to let the Canadian Parliament and Prime Minister remain, we hope that some of the positions, names, and functions of the various legislative bodies and officials can be changed to some more Americanized versions to avoid confusion. American citizens will also not be allowed to vote in Canadian elections, unless they have lived in Canada for more than one year, and the various Canadian states will be appointed seats in the House of Representatives and Senate. Since Canada has agreed to the merger of our great nations, we hope to set a deadline of the merger at November 1, 2100, and create a temporary committee with the final goal of smoothing out Canadian and American court systems, and we hope to smooth over some laws that are simply too different between the two countries. We hope Canada agrees to all these proposals. [Mod Response Needed]

 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Incumbent President Mahmoud Al-Abibiha wins the election again, careyimh most of the votes in the coastal and southern governorates of Tunisia. To cope with the worldwide famine conditions, restrcitions on food exports are placed, with no more than 15% of all food grown in Tunisia allowed to be exported. The new farms of the Tunisian Sahara are subsidized by the government, and the policy of encouraging settlement of the newly-arable land continues. Unrestricted immigration to Kebili, Medenine, and Tataouine Governorates is implemented up to July 2082, and land prices remain artificially lowered, to encourage people to move here. Services like schools, hospitals, and fire and police departments, as well as extension of rail lines, are constructed, The construction of an additional hyperloop station on the West African Hyperloop line, at Qirtaj-al-Sahra, also commences. Speaking of Qirtaj-al-Sahra, the main downtown area is completed, equipped with segregated manual car/self-driving car/bus/bike lanes, as well as tree-lined boulevards to provide shade. Rooftop vegetable gardens are also a common sight. The Sahara Governorate is formed, breaking away from the Tataouine Governorate, and the newly-established government offices of the Sahara Governorate move into the completed downtown of Qirtaj-al-Sahra. Construction of other neighborhoods and suburbs continue. In the AIDS Moon Project, 3 of the 12 original colonists of the Messala Crater colony are Tunisian citizens. We suggest that the moon colony be named Mada’Bialnujum (lit. Starlight) [RESPONSE NEEDED]. Our infrastructure projects continue, with the A23 extension finished, connecting Accra and the Somali port of Berbera more reliably with a 6-lane highway. The Sahel Line now also extends into Juba via Khartoum. Help in the Green Sahara Project is sent to participating nations.

 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: In combination of both the nuclear winter and a cold snap, many areas see another wave of record low temperatures. Oymyakon in particular, manages to reach a record breaking low of -97.9C. Vladivostok also reaches a new record low, going as far down as -38.3 C. Several towns south of Vladivostok also see new record lows, with both Posyet and Slavyanka reaching a low of -31.2 C and -29.1 C respectively. In response to a reduction in food growth, the government begins looking for ways to use technology that can have food grown despite harsh weather, and offers the other members of the Russian Union in working together in that regard. [Mod Response] [Secret] Two new factories in the newly established closed towns of Krasnoyarsk-42 and Sakha-38 are opened. A few dummy ERAI-Dolls are also created and tested, with aims to send them to India armed with EMPs with their aim to disable electronics as opposed to using usual war tatics; and also have a one time use. The East Russian Cyber Divisions begins to launch attacks against the AI-controlled India. [End Secret] The government asks West Russia in looks to purchase some anti-ICBM technology.

 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Following the disastrous exchanges between British and American diplomats last year, the Prime Minister resigns and his deputy Prime Minister Thatcher May becomes the new Prime Minister and will finish out the remainder of her former PM's term for the next 4 years before a new general election is called. A Cabinet shuffle takes place. In a public speech, she apologises to the Americans for the unprofessional comments made by the previous administration and is glad that the Americans have now decided to actively engage the Overlord. British GCHQ operatives visit the Tibetan cyber security officials responsible for containing the Overlord's digital spread hoping to learn of their methods and improve upon its design with the might of the British Wartime Budget. [Mod Response] Meanwhile, following the temporary halt of further military activities involving ground troops in India, troops already camp out in captured territory continue to run supply drops to civilians but otherwise do not actively engage, they simply hold the line. Britain shall wait for a more coordinated ATO and AEAN attack to participate in. That being said, all 5 kinetic bombardment satellites are actively targeting protected servers stations and missile strikes and bombing campaigns continue to take place, especially in Bangladesh and Pakistan to contain the physical spread of Overlord troops. The current policy of the British Military is control and contain. This is to allow for time for Britain's project of developing technologies (as described in Maghreb's proposal) that will minimise the human impact of HANEs. Britain agrees that HANEs are probably one of the only ways to successfully defeat the Overlord. Last but not least, having picked up on Poland's plans to make more specialised Kinetic Bombardment satellites, smaller and not multipurpose, Britain elects to do the same. Britain even reaches out to Poland to discuss possible sharing of information on this project. [Player Response]
 * Flag of Tibet.svg.png Tibetan Cyberdefence Forces: As a traditional ally of Tibet, we are happy to assist the United Kingdom with this.

With the Centrists winning 104 seats, the Libertarians winning 22, National Australia winning 19 and other minors winning 5. Eric Wahlen is Australia’s new Prime Minister. Australia is thrown into a state of hysteria after the nuclear strikes. A surge of Australians joining the military combined with conscription gives 150,000 soldiers to Australia. In case of radioactivity anyone within 150 km of Sydney and Canberra is tested for signs. As well as this, nearly 7 million people will be relocated westward in the next 3 years, this year 4 million from NSW are sent to WA, SA and NT. Humanitarian aid is sent to India and Indonesia to help after the nuclear strikes. 10,000 bunkers are completed this year due to a surge in funding for Defence projects. (Secret) The Australian Prime Minister requests a meeting with the leaders of the UK and the US in order to discuss the continuation of the Wattle Project that will make Australia a nuclear power(Player Response/End Secret). 120,000 Australian soldiers are sent to India, to help defend the forces already there. Australia ceases attacks against the overlord and instead maintains a defensive position. Australia’s cellular regeneration project is scrapped, following the advice of Australian scientists. (Secret) with research on non-nuclear high explosives missiles having been conducted since 2084 the first Solomon Missile prototype is ready. With an estimated destructive power similar to a 1-5 kt nuke, it is tested on the border of NT and SA, with no people for 100 km in any direction (Mod Response/End Secret). On a happier note the first Darwin probe lands on Mars. It will look for signs of life, on the surface with samples taken from as high as 10 km in the atmosphere and scans taken as deep as 500 m below ground.
 * Australian Department of Defense: We are proud to report the nuclear test is a success.

2090
''' The Polish government is mocked internationally for its actions regarding the loaned American Battle Star. With the waste of over $450 Billion USD, and the complete outrage of the American government over the Polish government's reckless treatment of American property, one could say it is the least intelligent decision that any government has ever made in modern history. '''

''' Kazakhstan becomes the third nation in the world (after Burkina Faso and Poland) to completely legalise and recognise A-Dolls, quickly followed by Nepal, Afghanistan and Rakhine. The Bangladeshi Government-in-Exile, as well as the Pakistani Government-in-Exile, act similarly. This is largely observed to be in response to the leaked relevation that A-Dolls can provide sufficient defence against Overlord forces; however, the United Nations Committee on the Special A-Doll Ethnic Group criticises how nations are using them as literal tools. In particular, Tibetan A-Dolls refuse to cooperate with the British government. '''

''' The VR startup, NerveGamer, releases its first-ever product: a gaming console designed to allow a virtual-reality like experience without wide spaces. The Nervoichi utilises similar technology used by the American government during the period in which it copied human brains into computers so as to prosecute criminals; allowing for a 'larger and more immersive experience'. The video game companies Infinity Ward and Bethesoft announce their intentions to bring first-person-shooters to the platform. '''

''' The nuclear winter continues, although riots largely subside. The formation of the East Asian Union allows for the formation of a new power bloc in East Asia, while the Eastern Cooperation Pact declares its intention to oppose the Overlord as well. '''

[Mod Response] The BCG-890 starts it's shipping but the magazine is a bit unreliable and the scope needs tweaking so a second generation is being designed the BCG-890A1.BCG-E01 EAR has it's test unsuccessful but the development continues.We are still trying o join HWsMS Orion[Mod Response]Islinge will be completed in 2093.S.A.E.X.A.s rover will be launched next year.Some new record low temperatures are established by Stockholm(-41°C),Lulea(-50°C) and Malmo(-32°C).


 * Flag of Finland.png Finland: We refuse the Swedish offer to buy the Åland Islands.
 * Flag of Norway.png Norway: We also refuse the Swedish offer.
 * Flag of Sweden.pngSweden ministry of foreign affairs:We would like Norway and Finland to name their prices.
 * Flag of Norway.png Norway: We meant refusal in terms of we recognise Svalbard as a sovereign part of Norway and refuse to sell our countrymen away. Goodbye.
 * Flag of Finland.png Finland: We share similar sentiments with our Norwegian counterparts.
 * Flag of Sweden.pngSweden ministry of foreign affairs:We understand your point and we won't bother you again.
 * Flag of Tunisia.svgTunisia: Due to the ongoing nuclear winter caused by the 2088 Nuclear Exchange, much of Tunisia sees below-average temperatures for much of the year, with several record lows being set, the most notable ones being -4.7°C in Tunis (old record -2.0°C) and -5.8°C in Bizerte (old record -3.0°C). Furthermore, on December 14, 2090, a freak snowstorm engulfs most of northern and central Tunisia (as well as parts of Algeria, Malta, and Sicily), dumping 10.9 cm of snow on downtown Tunis, the first recorded snowfall in the city. Meanwhile, a vote completely legalizing A-Dolls residing in Tunisia and granting them Tunisian citizenship passes. The planned city of Qirtaj-al-Sahra is completed, with capacity for up to 200,000 people, plenty of amenities, parks, green spaces, and malls, and the latest technology embedded within the city. Prices are artificially kept low, and immigration loosened a lot, as with many other newly-built towns in the newly-arable Tunisian Sahara. A census is called, measuring the population of the country and of major cities, as well as average income and ethnic makeup (the last one is expected to change a lot in southern Tunisia due to the influx of Indian refugees as well as immigrants from other countries due to loosening of immigration restrictions and abolishing of the immigration quota in the southern governorates [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED]. The Sahel Line is completely finished, traversing the width of the African continent from Mauritania to Somaliland. Meanwhile, upgrades of existing roads in Tunisia to separate driverless and manual cars continue. Help on the Green Sahara Project is sent to all participating nations, and food, water, and oxygen begin regular shipments to the Mada’Bialnujum moon colony.
 * Flag of Burkina Faso.svgBurkina Faso: Due to the nuclear winter, temperatures across the nation remain below average for another year, causing some record lows like 5.1°C in Ouagadougou (old record 8.5°C), 4.4°C (old record 8.5°C), and the record low for the entire country, 3.8°C, in Arbinda (old record 5°C, in Markoye). With the conpletion of the Sahel Line, Ouagadougou has become a major hyperloop transport hub of West Africa, with Ouagadougou Hyperloop Station being the exchange station between the West African and Sahel Lines. This has brought an increase of consumer revenue to the city. The Burkinabe government congratulates Kazakhstan and the Bangladeshi and Pakistani governments-in-exile for granting A-Dolls citizenship, and asks for the establishment of a Burkinabe embassy in Astana and consulates in Almaty, Taraz, Kyzylorda, and Atryau, in return for a Kazakh embassy in Ouagadougou and Kazakh consulates in Koudougou, Kaya, and Ouahigouya [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED].
 * Flag of Kazakhstan.png Kazakhstan: We accept the Burkinabe offer. Thank you.
 * Tunisian Census: 26 million people are reported, with 1.3 million additional refugees from India. The largest ethnic group remains Berber at 87.3%, but a significant number of Tunisians now identify as A-Doll (1.34%) and Indian (5.84%). Immigration rates have skyrocketed, although crime rates have remained low and the country remaining stable. The average number of immigrants in the last decade was 362,000 per year.
 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: With the destruction of the now widely known Battle Star Nadjezda, the public begins to question their government. A large protest occurs outside the Parliament calling for the removal of the current leadership. In a long vote, the tally narrowly votes for impeachment. In an emergency election, the Progressives and Liberals form a coalition under the moniker Unity, leading to the election of Alexsy Kowalczyk. He immediately begins repealing several of the previous government's "short-sighted" judgement, and issues a formal apology to the US government. (Secret: We continue on with Project Mieszko and Project Casimir even with the political turbulency. However, no significant progress has been made from last year due to budget cuts.) We reverse the process of leaving the ATO, and begin working with the US govt. to find a less brute force way of dealing with Overlord. [Player Response Required] (Secret: We approach the US with the plans for project Miesko and Casimir, which are to be shared if the US is to forgive debt owed to them due to the previous government's stupidity.) [Player Response Required]


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: Work begins with other members of the RU towards using GMOs to grow crops and food in extreme weather. Work begins on two new weapons, the AK-401 and the AK-405, which is a vastly updated version of the old AK-12 and AK-15 respectively. Efforts also begin towards the construction of a national missile defence system. The Nervoichi sees popularity and becomes a hit in the nation. Okhotsk Company and Artyom Inc. both begin planning in releasing and producing some games for the console, with Okhotsk Company already announcing a game in production that will be based from their Immortal Kosmos animation series. A few other games are also announced for the Nervoichi by some other East Russian companies, such as Tunguska and Musiglow. The two motorsport race tracks in Valentin and Nikolayevka are completed and subsequentially opened. The East Russian Touring Car Championship is also established, as well as the establishment of the 24 Hours of Nikolayevka and Valentin 500 (the latter based from the Indy 500). The operators of the Valentin Circuit appeals to the FIA for its use as a Formula 1 circuit. [Mod Response]
 * FIA: Should the Valentin Circuit be able to accomodate our use of the circuit every year from 12 to 15 March for the next 12 years, we believe that the deal is settled.
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The Starlight Lunar Colony is declared fully operational, with self-sufficiency to be achieved in a few years. Supplies continue to be launched there for future construction projects to accommodate additional colonists. The Hammer of Allah satellite is also made public to the world as a sign of the strength of AIDS. Usage of the satellite is only to be authorised by an emergency council of AIDS member states leaders. Seeing as the occupation periods of Lower North Africa are over, we invite the independent states of Guinea-Bissau, West Guinea, Sierra Leone, New Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Ashanti, Accra, Togo and Benin to the Alliance of Islamic Dominions and States. [Mod Response] A project for a megacity on the southern edge of the Maghreb Sea is in the works, comparable to the Aoudaghost City project years ago. Dubbed Project Zerzura, it is expected to be the largest coastal city within North Africa not adjacent to the Mediterranean nor Atlantic. It is also expected to boost tourism as national parks and recreational activities in the Maghreb Sea. The Maghrebi Naval Forces is expanded by a total of 14 ships.
 * Flag of Guinea-Bissau.svg.png Guinea-Bissau, Flag of Côte d'Ivoire.svg.png Cote d'Ivoire, Flag of Togo.svg Togo and Flag of Benin.svg Benin: We accept the Maghrebi offer to enter AIDS.
 * Flag of Liberia.png Liberia and Flag of Sierra Leone.svg Sierra Leone: We require additional time to consider.
 * Flag of Sweden.pngSweden ministry of foreign affairs:We proposed a LIMNT route for 2120 on moon from Schrödinger crater to Messala crater totaling in 3743,86km,We would like to know A.I.D.S members opinion.
 * Flag of Hong Kong.svg.png South China and Flag of Russia.png Western Russia: We enter a mutual partnership called the Sino-Russian Military Alliance. The SRMA will conduct military exercises as well as drills in the Pacific Ocean. In the meantime, this partnership will serve as a beneficial tie to both our nations. Good luck to us all!
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: The start of 2090 is opened with the statement of continuing the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to send manned missions to the Moon. However, time will be the main issue, as the time estimated to be finished would be at around 2107. However, around at 2126, we will plan to send more manned missions to the Moon, as well as start industries there. This will take a lot of time, as the current focus is the Hokkaido construction. Meanwhile, the Overlord still persists in northern India, and word was received that the Overlord is a sprawling network of communications from the Northern Indian continent. [Secret] This may plan to fail, but we plan to create a organization called the Japanese Cyber-Warfare Agency (JCWA) and fund it to breach through the systems of the Overlord and cause many malfunctions. As we said, this may be destined to fail, but we gotta try this. [End Secret] The Hokkaido construction is narrowly finished, as the remaining cities have to be reconstructed in order to finish. [WIP]
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia: This year, a vote is held to decide the new capital of Australia, after Canberra was destroyed in 2088, it is decided that Brisbane will become the new capital of Australia. Australia begins EMP strikes on the cities of New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Kolkata in an attempt to weaken the AI India’s major cities. (Secret) Australia currently has 7, 5 Kiloton Solomon Missiles. Each of these missiles has a range of 1,000 km, and they are all equipped on one of the British Submarines purchased by Australia. Reasearch continues on the missiles, however now Australia will be researching how to make them easier to manufacture and how to increase their range(End Secret). Recent world events have prompted Australia to suggest an Oceanic/ Pacific Union, that will act similarly to the European Union, with New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru and Fiji (Mod Response). An Australian census is conducted, which will measure the population of Australia, the largest cities in Australia and the ethnic makeup of Australia(Mod Response). With the Nuclear Winter Perth, Mt Isa and Newcastle reach all time temperature lows, -2.2, -3.8 and -6 respectively. In happier news, the second Darwin Probe finally reaches Europa where it will look for signs of life, single-celled or complex. Finally Australia begins research on effective military drones. It is expected that drones similar to unmanned, 2m long fighter jets will be in production by 2094 though other, more impressive models may be available from 2100 to 2105.
 * Flag of New Zealand.png New Zealand: We respectfully refuse.
 * Flag of Papua New Guinea.svg Papua New Guinea, Micronesia and 2000px-Flag_of_Kiribati.svg.png Kiribati: We accept the Australian offer.
 * Australian Census: 36.4 million people are recorded, with a significant Caucasian majority (76.3%) as well as large Asian minorities; Chinese (10.3%), Japanese (6.7%) and Malay (5.4%). The largest city remains Sydney at 4.3 million people, with 1.3 million people in Darwin.

2091
''' The creation of newer power blocs across the world follows the Overlord's apparent ascension to leader of Northern India. The United Nations has developed into a powergroup of its own, as has the Russian Union, Eastern Cooperation Pact, East Asian Union and Alliance of Islamic Dominions and States. '''

''' Nuclear winter subsides for a minor period. Despite this, Democratic Arabia continues to struggle with maintaining order, with the Riyadh Exclusion Zone becoming a hotzone for illegal mercenaries. Oman faces radiation deaths of up to 10,000 per year; as does Iraq. '''

''' Reports flow into Nepal of apparent 'conversion facilities' in East India. Rumours that the Overlord is converting humans into A-Dolls using some form of advanced technology spread, but there is no definitive footage or answer to these rumours. That causes mass panic in Central Asia, and continued attacks on the A-Dolls Special Ethnic Group by rioters. Despite this, almost all members of the United Nations and Eastern Cooperation Pact sign the International Commitment to Equal Treatment of Artificial Life. '''

''' Egypt formally calls for international aid to save the river Nile. Tainted by radiation, deaths from radiated water skyrocket in the country as it throws open its borders to the United Nations and Atlantic Treaty Organisation to step in. '''


 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: We continue the long and arduous process of bringing home the men stationed in Sri Lanka. We also begin to construct fortifications across Intermarium borders to if Overlord cannot bs stopped, and eventually advances to our borders. (Secret): The first satellites for Project Miesko are launched, being disguised as weather satellites. Project Casimir is also nearing the phase where we can begin production, as the newest prototype has shown battle readiness. It is expected to enter production next year. We also begin the process of integrating the Intermarium Military into one unified force. The first major step in this new "Eastern European Federation". (Secret): With the modernization of the infantry having neared completion, and the groundwork for a Space Force having been laid down, we begin to build up the Armored and Air sections of the Polish military. This includes several new tank designs, most with either railgun weaponry or energy weaponry. In the air, we begin phasing out our manned flight systems for autonomous and remote controlled drones, all with energy weaponry and energy shielding. We continue to ration food for the nation, because even with the nuclear winter subsiding, it will take at least a year for our farmland to recover from this. The people of Poland see the future as being very bleak, as they give everything they have to fight an enemy that so far has done nothing but steamroll through the Indian subcontinent. With this revelation, we begin to prepare for the worst when it is at least a decade in advance, training most soldiers in the ways of guerilla warfare. (Secret): We begin to prepare for in the worst case scenario for a transfer of government responsibilities to the military
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: With US funding, works begin on 3 nuclear warheads to be used against the Overlord. Dubbed Project Triumvirate, the nuclear warheads, 1 megaton in magnitude each, will be detonated at 400 kilometres above Hyderabad, New Delhi and Kolkata to cause a HANE-induced EMP sphere of approximately 1300 kilometres in radius. The warheads will be placed into orbit and launched at the same time for greater effect. We intend to participate in further discussions between ATO and AIDS to collaborate a working strategy against the Overlord. We inform Egypt that we are interested in helping to clean up the river Nile, in the best interests of the environment of North Africa. The river itself will be diverted while the contaminated areas are cut off to prevent further contamination. The irradiated water will then be properly disposed of. All that we, and in extension AIDS, ask for is the long overdue admission of Egypt into AIDS and ensure lasting peace in North Africa. [Mod Response Needed] Project Zerzura is also initiated, with construction beginning along the coast of the Maghreb Sea.
 * Flag of Egypt.png Egypt: ....very well. We accept the Maghrebi offer.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The British war effort against the Overlord goes into a period of rest and recuperation as the government and military leaders restrategise. Most Army soldiers are brought home though most of the Navy and Air Force still maintain positions on the continent and Indian Ocean Territory, and continue to launch stalling attacks at military installations and production facilities tied to the Overlord's war effort in an attempt at stalling and/or preventing the spread of the Overlord's physical presence. Meanwhile at home, new elections are held and the Liberal Technocrats achieve a sweeping victory in Parliament with a near absolute majority, allowing them to claim the position of government with an alliance with a group of similarly minded Independents. The Lib-Techs are socially liberal, Adam Smith pro-business, technocrats. They proceed to allow sentient A-Dolls entry into the country and grant them the same rights as humans. However, they must wear clearly visible indicators of their AI nature such as government recognised tattoos, etc. The creation of sentient AI is still outlawed. The Lib-Techs strike a reconciliatory tone with sentient AI citing their undeniable sentience and benefit to society. Following the change in government, Nepalese A-Dolls are once again asked if they may participate in British CyberOffensive programmes. [Mod Response] In other news, the UK requests membership of the United Nations. [Mod Response] Elsewhere, the British Space Programme is reignited thanks to a reduction in the war budget, with plans for a preliminary lunar colony set up mission in 2 years. At the same time, the first batch of 10 Micro-Battle Stations are launched, each the size of a standard resupply ship. They each orbit barely at the edge of space and carry projectiles with 100m impact caters, much smaller than the maximum 800m impact craters possible using the standard Battle Station craft. Meanwhile, Commercial space activities which were temporarily halted during the war have now resumed. The private sector, in the form of the space conglomerate Mundus-Galactica (founded 10 years ago), announces the first asteroid to be commercially mined for resources and Earth receives its first shipment of extraterrestrial resources. Last but not least, the government launches a nation-wide Great Debate on the topic of unfair AI advantages over humans and cybernetic implants for humans. This is all in an effort to embrace technology and artificial sentience in a mature way and to ensure issues such as a ruling class of rich, enhanced super-humans, or rapid unemployment among humans due to sentient AI outperforming most humans.
 * Flag of Nepal.svg Nepal: Nepal, as of current, has no known A-Doll population. Perhaps you should talk to our Tibetan neighbours.
 * Flag of Tibet.svg.png Tibetan Cyberdefence Forces: Should the British government be able to promise fair treatment, the A-Doll members of the TCF are ready to assist.
 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations: We will hold a vote on British membership.


 * Flag of the United Nations.png United Nations General Assembly: In favour of British membership; Malaysia-Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, East Timor, South Africa, Madagascar, Finland, Ireland. Against; Free Myanmar, Thailand, Somaliland. All other members are assumed to hold opinions of abstinence. With that, the United Kingdom returns to the United Nations as a member of the General Assembly (the Security Council no longer exists). Welcome home.


 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia Australia is glad that several nations joined the Oceanic Union and hoped to be able to further develop this union in the future.With the war in India getting nowhere, Australia begins to put more money into projects other than defence. While Australia’s soldiers remain in India they continue to uphold the defensive positions they have been in since 2089, with no real attempts to gain ground against the enemy until a coordinated attack by multiple nations can be made. One of these projects is an Australian Lunar colony and possible Mars Mission. Australia begins preparing for the transportation of the materials needed for a colony of 150 colonists by 2110. (Secret) Despite the loss of money for defensive projects, Australia creates the Australian Cyber Warfare Department (ACWD), however it does push back the completion dates of several projects. Australia’s missile defence upgrades are not expected until 2094, The final of the 50,000 bunkers won’t be ready until 2096 despite only needing 13,000 more and the drone window is stretched to 2095-1107(End Secret). The two Darwin probes continue their search for extraterrestrial life (Mod Response). Australia begins a new project that will endeavour to improve Australia’s various offshore territories. This will include improving the infrastructure of Christmas Island, Norfolk Island and the Cocos/Keeling Islands as well as the construction of a settlement on Lobos de Tierra centered around the port. A settlement on the Coral Sea Islands is considered but it is decided that more time is needed to consider this due to their nature reserves and low sea level. It is estimated that this will increase the population of the overseas territories by 4000-6000.
 * Australian Space Agency: The Darwin probes still have yet to discover any extraterrestrial life.


 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: A census is held for religion, population (including sentient AI), and the top five cities. [Mod Response] Meanwhile the Sakhalin Bridge and Tunnel is completed and opened for traffic, and A365 starting from Komsomolsk-on-Amur going all the way to the bridge is also completed. The GMO project continues with several tests being conducted. A solo indie game designer by the name of Margarita Ayase releases a game that takes inspiration from Touhou Project and DoDonPachi, called Izumrud Séver; and features two playable characters: Honoka Mogami and Shizuko Taranov. The game gains decent reviews, and is noted for its amazing music, and its difficulty. The three casinos in Khabarovsk are also officially opened as well. Voroshilov Motors releases its third car, the Diamond, which is related to the Ruby though with a different styling, is a 4-door sedan (while the Ruby is a two door coupé) and has more power.
 * Eastern Russian Census: 54.5 million people are recorded, with a declining ethnic Russian population (63.7%), an increasing Japanese (18.4%) and Chinese (4.3%) population and a surprising number of A-Dolls (115,000). The largest cities in Eastern Russia are Vladivostok (5.6 million), Khabarovsk (2.3 million), Komsomosk-on-Amur (1.9 million), Petropavlyosk-Kamchatsky (1.5 million) and Ussuriysk (1.3 million).


 * Philippines_flag.jpg Philippines: We continue to remain strong relations with the United States and other nations. We continue to send military to South Asia to help with the liberation of India. Car ownership has significantly decreased as more people take intercity or high speed trains. In recent news, many government officials and civilians had been reported being rushed down to bunkers.

''' A suicide attack occurs in Greater Manila, killing fifteen people. What follows are explosions at and around major facilities around the city, causing widespread chaos; the Filipino President appearing missing. Smokestacks loom above the world's third-largest city. '''

''' And 'third' is correct. Jakarta shoots above Manila and ties with Tokyo for Number One, both cities topping out at 40.7 million people. Jakarta, having seen a cosmopolitan revival and complete revamp in the 2060s and 70s, has become comparable to Tokyo in terms of cleanliness and services, not just population. '''

''' The Nervoichi sees its first major disaster. The VR device is found in the possession of multiple 'humanists' attempting to reprogram A-Dolls in Tibet; while the plot is foiled, the device has its reputation tarnished. This, however, does not stop the insane growth of the VR market, especially in Gaming and Entertainment; but this causes a Taiwanese-Tibetan joint investigation into NerveGamer. This ironically coincides with the release of Sword Art Online for the Nervoichi, based off the manga/anime series of the same name. '''

''' The Overlord becomes especially dormant, with South Indian troops able to retake major cities in India. This comes with them discovering the true human cost of the nuclear exchange in 2088 - 43.56 million people. This is not helped with more news that the AI has produced what the Pentagon calls Infected Phoenix, an actual device used to convert humans into A-Dolls. '''


 * Flag of Poland.png Poland: With the beginnings of mass production for Project Casimir, we have unveiled it to the world. It has the following specifications: 1.6 cm thick Carbon Fiber Armor, with interlaced shield emitters, which can emit an energy shield for 3-5 minutes at a time, with a cool-down time of 20 minutes. It also comes with retractable wings for small flight capabilities, with increases to strength and speed while in the suit. Jokingly, the suit is nicknamed the Winged Hussar suit. This year we begin preparations for a mission to the Moon and Mars, which are expected to be underway by 2103.

 * Philippines_flag.jpg Philippines:  A state of emergency has been declared in the country as explosions occur on Manila City Hall, Capitol Theatre, UP University, Tutuban Station, Recto Avenue and Payatas. Further bombs are apparently defused in Bicutan, Magallanes Interchange, Manila Film Center and Navotas Port. Major riots are reported in Cauayan City, Davao City, Baguio, Trece Marites and Tacloban. The President is surprisingly found in Fort Santiago and is quickly evacuated. Mass evacuations have clogged the North and South Expressways. Several parts of the government and their families had been evacuated to Tagaytay City.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: Cybertroopers continue to conduct operations against the Overlord under Operation Overlord Containment. Work is being done in collaboration with A-Doll specialists on the development of a possible AI-neuralogical virus that could infect the Overlord's neural networks in the same way as a neurological degeneration disease might act on a human, thus reducing the Overlord to a degenerate intelligence, at least in theory. The launch of a mission to the Moon is one year away with pre-fabricated facilities already designed to house up to 20 inhabitants. The plan is for units of modular facilities to be shipped to the Moon periodically, slowly expanding the future Lunar Habitat. In other news, the private asteroid mining business is beginning to flourish with 2 major companies in the business already and a vriety of smaller companies already bidding for the rights to certain asteroids. Britain proposes a global asteroid registration system to coordinate the global asteroid mining business and to prevent untoward incidents. [Player/Mod Response] In other news, London has just broken a new world record for world's tallest city as its highest tiers reach over 1km into the air. This is thanks to the city sanctioned "multi-building" construction strategy, where buildings share support structures thus causing London to appear as a pseudo-pyramid. Up North in Scotland, the vertical-agriculture business is thriving with whole greenhouse cities made of 80 story greenhouses owned and operated by firms in collaboration with special "agrocity governments", a new governmental tier created to manage such cities. Last but not least, [Secret] Work on Project Medusa Network (MEDUSA for short) commences. MEDUSA is a network of small Battle Station-esque satellites equipped with kinetic bombardment capabilities. Under normal circumstances, they simply represent a cheaper and more cost-effective alternative to conventional Battle Stations as it is not often that a true Battle Station is necessary in times of minor conflict. However, what makes MEDUSA so important is the ability for all the satellites to coordinate with each other to launch a vast array of simultaneous attacks in various formations, or to all target the same location creating a composite strike with an impact crater of over 2km. The power is incalculable. [/Secret]

 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia With the seeming gap in the overlord’s defenses, Australia begins to take a more aggressive stance against the overlord. (Secret)A second assault on Puri is planned, with similar tactics to the first. However it is clearly stated that the troops will be landing on the coast 25 km to either side of the city, each group will have around 40,000 soldiers and the entire operation will be supported by the Australian airforce which will not be striking at the city but at military targets nearby (Mod Response/End Secret). A further 100,000 soldiers will be sent to southern India to try and capitalise on the overlords inactivity. In other news, Australia offers aid to the Philippines, to help repare damage done to Manila in the recent attacks, Australia also offers to help the Philippines in any way possible. 3,000 bunkers are constructed in 2092 leaving just 10,000 to go. (Secret) Australia’s early missile warning systems on Cocos islands are finished, meaning that Australia will be much better prepared if and more missiles come out of India. This also means that the Wattle Project is again shutdown with 27 nukes ranging from 0.5-45kt and 3 100kt “Banksia” weapons (End Secret). Diplomatically Australia would like to discuss the possibility of a Free trade agreement with Indonesia and Shanghai (Mod Response).

Project Zerzura continues, as the metal skeleton of the city comes into existence. Canals into the Maghreb Sea are widened to allow further commercial activity into the body of water. Genetic engineering is considered to have escaped the clutches of social stigma and becomes accepted in Maghrebi society, with genetically modified crops being more widespread, especially in the converted Sahara where most plants were previously unsuited to such a foreign environment. We express our condolences to the Filipino government and population for such an act of atrocity on their country. Project Triumvirate is literally launched, as the three warheads are sent into space to be used when deemed necessary against the Overlord.

Over the course of the next 5 years, the Lunar Habitat will be expanded with regular, automated shipments of supplies and building materials to the Moon. In addition to that, engineers (with the help of robotic units) on the Moon are working on constructing a mining facility. Tunnelling equipment had also been shipped to the Moon, with the express purpose of tunnelling underground facilities to shelter against radiation and to save on construction costs for a permanent Lunar Habitat. Meanwhile in the private sector, a third asteroid is being mined. This instantly snow-balls the asteroid mining industry to $1 trillion dollars in total. This spurs many other companies to announce plans for asteroid mining.

 * Vistula Union Flag.png Vistula Union: After successful referendums in Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland, we are united under one banner. The city of Kraków is chosen as the capital of the nation, and is thus split from the "Republic of Poland". Czechia is divided into the republics of Bohemia and Moravia, and Czech Silesia is attached to the newly created Republic of Silesia. Millions of citizens rejoice as the long awaited dream of unity between the West Slavs has finally been complete. Governmental consolidation begins, with the Gdańsk Convention producing an at least temporary constitution. Unique to the constitution, civil liberties are granted to beings of sentience regardless of flesh and blood. However, the government continues on mostly as a continuation of the Polish Government as an interregnum until elections are to be held in 2096. Military intelligence is highly concerned with the extremely abrupt disappearance of malevolent AI, and thus the cybersecurity/cyberwarfare budget is increased massively to protect from any future reappearance of Overlord or any system like it. Roman Catholicism sees large growth in Vistula, with Atheism seeing the largest drop, with some claiming that it was God who had saved the world from Overlord. the Vistula Cosmic Affairs Agency (VCAA) is founded to establish a larger presence outside the planet. They begin working on an orbital station for staging expeditions to the Moon and Mars.
 * Flag of India.png India and the Remnant AI Representative of India(RARI): The alleged disappearance of the Overlord has been beset by the fact that over 23,000,000 autonomous T-Dolls, both converted and original, remain in the ruins of former Eastern India as well as Bangladesh. We sign the Indian Artificial Intelligence Treaty, splitting former India into the Republic and the AI-Controlled Territory, which has yet to be named, in Odisha and West Bengal. Part of West Bengal is to be split off in itself and placed under control of the Bangladeshi government. We resist any attempt to occupy or control parts of the Indian subcontinent, and we will build anew. Millions have died in this struggle, but we will return, better and stronger than before. Peace is coming.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia Australia is surprised that that the overlord has been defeated so suddenly, though the population of Australia rejoices as over 240,000 Australians return as heroes. The 2094 election sees Eric Wahlen having won power for a third time in a row. The end of this war sees a large drop in the amount of money being spent on defence projects, while Australia’s missile defence upgrades have finished, and the first “Amelia” drones being successfully tested, the construction of bunkers is abolished at a total of 44,000 bunkers. Australia’s Amelia drones are a successful prototype of an unmanned jet fighter, at just 5m long, it is expected that they will shrink to around 2m by 2097. Due to the lack of a pilot these drones will be capable of carrying more ammunition and travelling both faster and higher than any other plane in Australia’s arsenal. With two major projects ending, funds are relocated to more passive projects. Australia’s Lunar colony can now be expected in 2101, as well as the extension of the Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne hyperloop to Brisbane and Newcastle, to be completed in 2056.
 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: The government expresses doubt at the Overlord's apparent disappearance. However, respecting the decision by the Indians and T-dolls, all British troops are pulled out of the area. Most return home while a sizeable portion of troops (Navy, Air Force, and Marines mostly) remain on the Indian Ocean Territory to patrol the Indian Ocean and monitor the situation in the Indian subcontinent. Meanwhile, Cyber Defence Forces back home in the UK continue to maintain and operate firewalls and other electronic containment measures around the AI Territory. Britain would like to get to know the AI Territory, their aims, values, and goals. [Mod Response - maybe in the next turn's mod events?] Due to security reasons, T-Dolls are currently banned from entering the UK. This is not a matter of anti-AI prejudice, it is a matter of geopolitical security - the same might be imposed upon a hostile/ambiguous human nation under different circumstances. [Secret] Project MEDUSA is rolling along nicely with estimated launches of the first satellites in T-2 years. [/Secret] Meanwhile, more supplies are sent to the British Moon Habitat (as it is now known) along with 10 more crew members, bringing the total up to 31. [Secret] The Space Force, which up until know has only been managing the nation's Battle Stations, has decided to collaborate with Starfleet (the civilian space navy) to produce next-gen spaceships, armed models in the case of the military, and unarmed scientific and exploratory models for Starfleet. Combining their research and funding should help bring this project to fruition sooner. Two types of ships are currently in the works - smaller drone ships that do not carry personnel and act as probes for Starfleet, and Unmanned Space Fighters (USFs) for the Space Force; and larger 50 crew ships for large scale activities. A 200 crew battleship style ship is in the theoretical stages of development, but is not slated for active pursuit any time soon. [/Secret] Last but not least, the private asteroid mining business is booming with Port Rhys' 20 docks nearly continuously occupied.

'''The world's first AI nation, the Construct of Lemuria, is formed out of the ashes of irradiated East India. At the top of this anomaly stands Ravi Nair, AI expert and the leading AI system governing the entire effort, known as Nier. The Construct of Lemuria is in the process of re-formatting T-Dolls directly bound to the former Overlord and integrate them as members of the new society. Meanwhile, Ravi Nair facilitates relations between the nation and the rest of the world. This seen as the spearheading of human-AI coexistence, and the entry of humanity into a new age. When asked about the future of Lemuria, Nier simply replied: "Lemuria wishes to live alongside the world as part of it. We may not be of the same elements or anatomy, but assuredly, we share the same visions and hope."'''

'''A few suspicious nations are quick to accuse Lemuria of perpetrating the global hacking crisis, however these claims are shot down as investigations into the relatively short "internet history" of Lemuria come up empty. Further insights however, reveal the existence of a few hackers found that play a key role in the crisis, known as "Bucephalus", "Alexandria" and "Charon".'''

''' Pope Urban X has shared his fairly positive view on independent AI, and welcomes the formation of the Lemuria Construct. This does not change the fact that the entirety of Roman Catholicism is split on the recognition of independent AI as equals, not to mention most major world religions. '''


 * Vistula Union Flag.png Vistula Union: Roman Catholicism continues to rise in popularity, leading to a sort of religious revival within Vistula. Atheism continues to fall in popularity, however at a much slower rate than recorded last year.

 * International Olympic Committee: It's settled then? Sweden will host the 2100 Olympics.
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia The formation of Lemuria signifies a huge blow to the struggle against AI that Australia has been fighting since the first A-dolls went rouge. However it is now clear that we are fighting a losing battle, and so we seek to begin becoming more AI friendly. A-dolls in Australia will still have less rights than people, but hopefully in the future we can create strong ties, and welcome the A-dolls to Australia. The Australian government also comes out about the full extent of project Wattle rough numbers about the numbers of warheads and size of warheads are released, around 50 warheads ranging from 1 kt to 100 kt. In an unrelated topic, Australia again pulls forward the start date for the lunar colony to late 2099, as much more funding is directed at the Australian Research and Space Exploration (ARSE) and in the 2100s, a Mars mission (Secret)as well as a space defence force. The number of Solomon Missiles has increased up to 35, their range is similar to that of our nukes at 4000 km research on how to increase our missile range continues, expected to double by 2105, though the number of missiles could possibly increase much faster(End Secret).

JAXA is still being worked on, as the first trip to the moon is concepted to be around 2104. [Secret] The military is being reworked on, with equipping new weaponry and tanks. Aircraft is also experiencing a revolution, as Japanese workers work around the clock to produce more modern equipment. [End Secret]. Meanwhile, a population census is held by the government to calculate the population. [Mod Response]. [Secret] This project is worked on, and it's the idea of robotic soldiers (the ones the Overlord uses). They will be equipped with machine guns wielded to them, as well as have a control mindset. So most will be able to fight for the Japanese homeland, and the mind control will make sure that proceeds to happen. This project, codenamed Project Beepboop, will be finished in 2110.

Okhotsk Company begins work on their vocaloid product, still codenamed "Hibiscus" for now, as is a character design to go with it. An A-Doll is also planned to be built for representing the product as well. The GMO project is a success, and new plants designed to grow in the extreme climates begin to be rolled out; and are also shared with the other members in the Russian Union.

''' The 2096 Summer Olympics are held in Astana, Kazakhstan, after the 2092 Olympics, scheduled to be held in the Philippines were cancelled amid terrorist threats. '''

''' Within a year, about 42% of all infrastructure in Lemuria is astonishingly rebuilt to accomodate T-Dolls, A-Dolls and humans. It is also noted that the Construct of Lemuria is now a formal member of the United Nations. '''

''' In an unexpected turn of events, the entirety of Mongolia has vanished from the Internet. Attempts to access Mongolian sites, links and pages are met with the ubiquitous Error 404. Even images and content originating from the nation are inaccessible for reasons unknown. On all levels except physical, Mongolia has disappeared. '''

''' Inspired by the formation of the Construct of Lemuria, a movement based in Pakistan, Tibet and India forms, known as Neo Shangri-La. The movement aims to create an independent state and permanent settlements in the otherwise inhospitable regions of Kashmir and the Himalayas for both humans and androids. Despite expected criticism from all nations involved, it does not carry as much political chaos as the disputes perpetrated by India, Pakistan and the former People's Republic of China earlier in the century.

 * Vistula Union Flag.png Vistula Union: Integration of the Polish, Czech, and Slovak systems has been completed, and with that, we begin looking towards further unification. Thus we invite Hungary to join the union, where they shall be subject to the same terms as Czechia and Slovakia. [Mod Response] We also ask to purchase St. Helena from the United Kingdom, for $135,000,000 US. [Player Response] We continue to pour funding into the space industry, and launch the beginning materials for the lunar outpost, along with several A-Dolls which have volunteered to build the outpost. We begin working on a design for a starship. A military wing of the Vistulan Space Agency is created, known as the Aether Command. We put our kinetic bombardment satteltes under their jurisdiction. They immediately begin preparations for the production of a new fleet of starships from the lunar outpost when finished. The economy begins to stagnate as people are beginning to use the internet less, and thus our main source of revenue, server housing, begins to faulter. However, it is seen as this will end after the hacking crisis, so nothing is done as we bolster our cybersecurity network. We also continue work on the Vistulan Hyperloop network, laying down starts to lines to several cities, including Prague, Brno, Bratislava, and Stanislaw.
 * Flag of Hungary.png Hungary: We refuse the Vistulan offer. We would rather maintain independence and a nominal relationship with the Union, as well as our European friends.

The government accepts the North Chinese' claim that they are providing humanitarian aid, and do not wish to interfere. Meanwhile, Starfleet announces the construction of its first Space Droneship. A dozen more are under construction and they will be sent on a maiden mission to the Moon to deliver more resources and building material to the small village (Lunar Habitat) that is there. Separately, the private asteroid mining industry has seen its worth double in the last 3 years reaching 500 billion pounds and making up 10% of the British Economy.

 * Lemuria: We thank the British for their cordiality and accept the offer.
 * Oxasl8l0xsfz.png Japan/East Asian Federation: The election for the Japanese prime minister spot led to Taishiro Tamura winning the election, and deriving the prime minister spot. He wanted to support his people and have his people under a free and peaceful society, so he reformed the Japanese government, building the amalgamation titled the East Asian Federation. After all of that, we begin negotiations with the Taiwanese government to join our free society, as well as being granted a generous amount of autonomy. [Mod Response]. As the Koreans rejected our offer of unification, we ask one more time for them to join us, and that we will treat their civilians better, as well as grant them autonomy. [Mod Response]. JAXA has been completely renamed to EASEA (East Asian Space Exploration Agency), as well as speeding up the project of the space shuttle by recruiting more aerodynamic builders. We also plan to increase the military budget by 1.23%, and construct many tanks during this time, so that no nation threats our peaceful and free society.

 * Flag of the United States.svg Union of North America: Isolationism sweeps America, with many Americans content to stay out of world affairs. We wish to establish relations with the Construct of Lemuria. [Mod Response] The states of Nunavut and Buffalo are admitted into the Union, as part of the Union of Republican Canada, finalizing the integration of Canada. We also attempt to start deals with Quebec, to deal with the problem of Newfoundland and Labrador being cut off from the rest of the country. [Mod Response] A new report from the Department of Energy finalizes that coal now accounts for 1% of America's power production, with solar (56%) and fusion (33%) accounting as the largest sectors of energy production. Americans now also spent vast amounts of their time indoors, according to a new study from the University of Washington. Most time is spent unconscious, fully connected to the Internet, partaking in gaming or web browsing. Sleeping is no longer spent dreaming, instead, users can opt to connect to the Internet while asleep. Battle Stars 5 & 6 are quickly under construction, however, aboard, there is only scientific equipment, as well as some "space drones" to clean up space debris. Moon mining is going relatively well, as a new political theory is gaining popularity in America. The government should act as a business (i.e, sell certain products and services to clients, such as weather data and oil and natural gas) and use that money to finance itself. While some economists call it impractical, most rocks mined on the Moon, especially Helium-3, is sold to private clients. Smaller Battle Stars, known as "Micro Stars", are launched into LEO, for defense and communication. The Union Space Force begins construction on new starships, designed for easy travel to the Moon and back. Artificial intelligence now accounts for 44% of the US Economy, with most remaining humans working in high paying technology jobs, as freelance artists and workers on the Internet or the COSMOS platform, or living off a government provided UBI. The American Hyperloop System is finally complete, after ~25 years of hard work, connecting every city from Vancouver to Flagstaff to Omaha to Washington. Of course, some Canadian cities still need to be connected. Crime in Trinidad and Tobago increases, with it being a safe haven for criminals and drug traffickers, with the local government overwhelmed. However, the mainland government does little, except an appropriations bill to invest $2.2 million into law enforcement on the islands.
 * Lemuria: We accept the American offer.
 * Flag of Quebec.svg.png Quebec: We will cooperate with American authorities in this regard.

WAEG, friendly to the EAU but relatively cold towards the ATO, is seen as part of the Arabian Economic Boom that has promoted growth in the region. '''


 * Vistula Union Flag.png Vistula Union: The hyperloop network continues construction, with the first few lines open for usage. Several protests occur over the now widely known possession of kinetic bombardment satellites, with the reckless announcement of them in a meeting with Northwest China not helping at all. Despite this, popularity remains with the current party, and a vote of no confidence is shut down in parliament. We continue work on the lunar colony, with the robots sent up to work on it being exchanged with different volunteers now that a stable atmosphere has been created within the dome. It is still not able to be used for permanent settlement, and humans come and go after 3 month tenures at the station. The station's dry dock is under construction, with it set to be one of the last facilities completed. The station is expected to be completed by 2105. With our kinetic bombardment program no longer secret, we begin to ramp up production, sending up 7 more MKBSs, for a grand total of 35 miniaturized satellites, pointed mostly at India, a remnant of the last efforts to destroy Overlord, before its disappearance. We begin to reposition these satellites, in an attempt to cover as much of the Earth as possible. The Casimir suit has been equipped on all units, making our army one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world. We begin working on a new high-power proton rifle, known as the PR-2, it is expected to be able to pierce through even heavier heat resistant elements, such as Newtonite and Hawkium. (elements 129 and 137) Speaking of these elements, we begin construction of several particle colliders to mass produce these elements to use as heat shields inside of new aethercraft. We cut ties with the Japanese government, until they stop harassing several East Asian nations and stop claiming to be the entirety of East Asia.

Militarily, the second generation of fighter drones, the “Matilda” drones, is brought into construction, estimated to have a top speed of Mach 15, around 3m long and capable of flying at up to 60km in the air. (Secret)Australia draws up plans for its first space defence force system STONES, basically to throw space junk at enemy satellites and ships, in order to cause some serious damage to any station unlucky enough to be targeted(End Secret). Conspiracy theorists across Australia have risen to offer explanations for the recent activities in Mongolia, these include the ever present explanation that aliens did it, though more popular theories are that a “quantum event” has caused the destruction of Mongolia or that a foreign government in China or the USA has tested some sophisticated weapons on Mongolia while several priests are claiming that it is the first sign of the apocalypse. Australia’s government however is more concerned with North China’s actions, suspicious of their excuses, but cautious of any anti-Chinese actions. New settlements on Norfolk Island house 500 new residents. Diplomatically Australia would like to to ask India if any of the Overlord’s devices for the conversion of humans to A-Dolls have survived and if so, could Australia purchase them? (Player Response)
 * Australian Space Agency: We report no signs of extraterrestrial life.
 * Flag of India.png India: One: We destroyed them all, and two? F#ck you, maybe. Just a bit. What would you want with those anyways?
 * Flag of Australia.svg Australia We accept the destruction of the devices, it was to be expected. As for what we wanted them for, we hoped to use them as a means to reignite our cellular regeneration project as a device capable of turning people into A-Dolls would probably be very helpful.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government sides with Korea and condemns Japan for attempts at expansion. Marijuana becomes fully legalised on the national level, as well as several soft drugs. Several new highway projects become proposed though none are approved yet, with most of them being more focused in Central Siberia (ie former State of Siberia). The government is shocked to hear what has become of Mongolia, though is also concerned with North China's recent move in occupying the nation. The first season of Hundred Stars Pro: Vibrant Diamonds is aired, and a game for the series is underway as well.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Sorry for inconveniences about Tamura's crazy regime. We found documents about his plans to use Korea and Taiwan as buffer states, and murder the people there. We hope to go down redemption road.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Following outcry, Prime Minister Tamura resigns and is investigated for potential links to a group known as the Sons of the Father, apparently originating from Mongolia. We revert to all pre-Tamura imagery and apologise to the Korean and Taiwanese nations for this display. At the same time, we call for all nations to investigate the SotF, with what appears to be apparent links to the Mongolian crisis.

2098
'''Several other nations such as East Turkestan and Kazakhstan move forces to seemingly occupy Mongolia, however unlike North China, they allow international insight into their actions. Following this turn of events, experts have identified the current Mongolia to be from 1279 CE, amidst the panic wihtin the state over the sudden disappearance of the rest of their empire. Contact has also been established with Kublai Khan, however he is extremely displeased with his nation's disposition and has threatened to invade neighbouring states unless he is paid tribute.'''

''' The National Archives of Egypt have been hacked into, and every text recorded in it has been translated to hieroglyph script. '''

''' A tsunami devastates Uruguay after an undersea earthquake in the South Atlantic. '''


 * Flag of UK.png United Kingdom: As the reality of the Mongolian Situation finally sets in, the British government decides to allow this event to play out without interference. [Secret] That being said, a secret task force is set up as a joint effort between the military, civilian intelligence community, and large numbers of civilian experts, to discover the causes of this strange space-time anomaly. [/Secret] In other news, the Space Force launches its first batch of 70 drone ships and 4 space destroyers, the culmination of 7 years of hard work. On the Moon, or under it per say, the Lunar Habitat expands as more habitable space is dug out of the Lunar soil. The British Lunar Mining Facility has also doubled in size since 3 years ago thanks to continuous deliveries if robots to the Moon. As it stands, 2 private firms are currently in negotiations with the government to take over and expand this mining facility. Last but not least, [Secret] laser weaponry, electromagnetic weaponry, and gravitational weaponry (uses gravitational fields of large bodies to hurtle massive projectiles at targets) are being developed. [/Secret]
 * Vistula Union Flag.png Vistula Union: Work continues on Sigismund, which has become the official name of the lunar outpost. Habitation chambers have been completed, with a total of 3,000 family sized habitation capsules having been constructed. Atmospheric control has been an issue in the outpost, with reports of 3 Aether Command cadets perishing due to an oxygen leak. The leak has been patched, and work has continued after a 3 day mourning period. Secret: We begin funding pro-Vistula unionists in Lithuania and Hungary, to seek and annex these nations into Vistula. We begin to send dignitaries to the new Mongol state, to open up formal relations with Kublai Khan. We also send several scientists to study this anomaly [Mod Response]
 * North China: Khan refuses to speak to any foreign dignitaries, and in particular wishes to express 'massacre and death' towards our Vistulan colleagues.
 * Vistulan Science Corps: Although details are vague, and there is still much to investigate, we can conclude that the ISOT event occuring in the borders of Mongolia is due to instability in space-time and the multiverse, although what is causing this is, as of yet, unknown. Due to the trace amounts of exotic matter found within the borders of Mongolia, however, we hypothesize that this event may be due to a wormhole or a similar phenomenon.
 * Vistula: We order scientists to collect some sort of specimen of the exotic matter for examination. [Mod Response]
 * VSC: We have already collected such matter; however, the portion is miniscule.
 * Flag of Primorsky Krai.png Eastern Russian Republic: The government accepts the apology from the newly elected government in Japan. Meanwhile, the Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency begins investigations toward the group Sons of the Father. [Mod Response] The government also has the military on guard and will not tolerate Mongol expansion, especially towards RU members. While Voroshilov Motors begins work on its next market car, they also begin a project on a touring car, which is planned to partake in the East Russian Touring Car Championships, and is based on the Ruby.
 * Eastern Russian Intelligence Agency: The SotF seems to be based in and around Central Asia, Northern South America and Central Africa. We have no confirmed information on their command structure as of yet.
 * Office of the North Chinese Premier: While we have made it clear that our actions in Mongolia are only part of a peace process, we have faced continued criticism. We will begin allowing in United Nations, Russian Union and East Asian Union inspectors in the near future, although we must profess that Kublai Khan has attempted, at multiple points, to kill diplomats during discussions, and refuses to talk to any inspectors whatsoever. We have begun working with the Kazakh government to pacify the Mongolian government, although they routinely attack North Chinese forces, and several have accidentally committed suicide in cavalry charges against infantry transport vehicles.
 * Flag of Philippines.png Philippines: Three large indoor cities are built in Catanduanes Province, with at least 1,300 people moving in. More than a hundred holograms have now commenced operation in major cities across the country. The Senate Building in Rizal Park is renovated into the Philippine Politics Museum as the senate moves to a new structure in Sucat, Paranaque City. The government also opens six recycling plants, where trash like plastics, wrappers to even things like dead cellphone parts are recycled by high-tech machines into many useful things, including new water pipes and roads. On an official recorded message, the President tells Kublai Khan that "if you ever get to see our country, do not worry as we are not posing a threat.". The technology industry largely grows, with anti-aging pills and genetic modification becoming a top priority. The Rodrigo Duterte International Airport, serving Metro Manila and most of Cavite/Laguna, is awarded "The most technology ready transport hub", with mostly-automated immigration, convenient services and small robots assisting cleaners and other things. The amount of overseas workers from the Philippines rapidly decrease as people find more jobs in their own country. The country now starts it's most ambitious mission in history, after the Philippine moon landing, to send a manned mission to Mars and build the country's first permanent settlement.
 * Flag of Japan.png Japan: Despite the Tamuran incident, we increase security, as well as forbid any travels to any person linked to the Sons of the Father. Meanwhile, the population is recorded (again) by the Japanese Census Bureau, with a listing of the top 5 most populated cities. [Mod Response]. [Secret] JAXA is still being worked on, with the dates being held back to 2103 because of more construction by more construction workers. The construction workers are held at 600k construction workers to construct the first satellite, with a minimum wage of 90k dollars per year. [End Secret] WIP
 * Flag of Northwest Africa.png Maghreb: The Starlight Lunar Colony is announced to be self-sufficient, and to be used for future AIDS missions to Mars and beyond. The AIDSSP recognises a permanent lunar colony to be unfeasible, and therefore looks towards other methods of extra-planetary settlement. The LSD Project is deemed successful and decommissioned, as the Sahara Desert is now about 57% its original area, with dots of forests and savannah decorating the rolling plains of Maghreb. The nation also sends a team of representatives to Mongolia in order to maintain Maghrebi presence in this historic, albeit impossible event. Project Triumvirate is also decommissioned, and has been proposed to be repurposed for the bombardment of the Martian ice caps in tandem with the creation of old fashioned factories to catalyse a greenhouse effect on Mars.
 * Flag of Tunisia,svgTunisia: With recent events going on in Mongolia, a team of Tunisian scientists and historians, as well as a 3,000-strong Tunisian Army division to protect the scientists from hostile forces, are sent to Mongolia, to research on what could have caused the time-phasing event, as well as studying the people and society of the Mongol Empire in never-before-seen depth, recording the archaic Mongol language, and bringing the Mongolians up to speed with 21st century technological developments. Tunisian President Abdul al-Aziz also expresses a desire to meet with Kublai Khan, and helping him come to terms with present-day society. This is best-expressed with his words during his formal address of the situation in Mongolia; “Kublai Khan, this new world may seem strange and alien to you. We may seem like aliens, strange people with strage clothing and strage customs and technology. But we are, in the end, humans as well, and we are not as different as you may think. We are like you, we have hopes and dreams, and we hope that you see us as equals, and as friends”. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects both within the country and in the greater African region, continue. With the declared self-sufficiency of the Starlight colony, we tentatively begin allowing local and foreign businesses to set up shop on the Moon.
