Our Darkest Secrets-Map Game

The year is 2022.After years of stress due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is severely shaken, and turmoil looms ahead.The false illusion of peace has faded, revealing a world of chaos and conflict, where humanity is in a struggle for survival. As the Chinese Dragon clashes with the American Eagle, extremism swoops over the world like a plague far worse than the coronavirus. So the countries of the world find that their worst fear is not a foreign one, but one within themselves. Extreme-right wingers threaten to tear apart the HICs, while extreme left wingers threaten to engulf the LICs. As this happens, the world begins to be plunged into war after war after war. Climate change ravages parts of the world and the UN is left nearly powerless.

Thankfully, technological innovation inspire a path to turn away and find a brighter future in science. As science develops, the frontier of space seems close in our reach. This reward can only go to those who make it out of the storm. Who will guide their nation to become the greatest power there is?

NB:THIS IS NOT A COPY OF ONWARDS. This is an original idea I have created, in which there will be plenty of turmoil and struggle for survival. I have not copied from Onwards despite it appearing very similar. You will see once this map game is able to become active.

Rules

 * 1) There is no set time for when the events will be released. They will most likely be released on Saturdays and Sundays GMT, but if not everyone has submitted their turn, I will give an extra window of two days. After the window, the game wil proceed as usual.
 * 2) To apply, write 'Within us, [NAME OF NATION]' in the comments.
 * 3) It is strongly recommended to include lore on your nation. Check the template to see how to format your turn.
 * 4) Any player inactive for 4 turns will have their nation turned into an NPC. A further inactive 3 turns will result in the player losing the nation.
 * 5) Players may switch nations every five turns, before the game has started,is their country has been forcefully conquered or vassalised. You may also switch nations if your country descends into civil war. You may also switch your nation if you realise if you have made a mistake. You can only do this once, and a mistake counts as something pre-game existing problem which you were not prepared for. You need to request in the comments to do so. If the mods are the cause of the problem, it will not be accepted.
 * 6) Do not do godmodding. This is when you decide the results of diplomatic actions without consulting the mods or other players. Any turns will be immediately removed and have to be rewritten. If this is done three times, it will result in a temporary ban. If done five times, permanent ban will be the result.
 * 7) Do not metagame. This is when you use exterior knowledge to prevent certain events. Sometimes this can be a coincidence, but if this is intentional, the turn will be taken down and a permanent ban may ensue after 5 turns of doing so.
 * 8) Do not deliberately destroy your nation, which will result in a ban for 10 turns. Do not do anything absolutely stupid (like Sri lanka conquering China in two days), which will result in the turn being taken down.
 * 9) When undergoing military operations, you may decide what happens, but be alert that the mods will influence your war. Do not step outside the realm of plausibility, as it will be seen as godmodding.
 * 10) Technological development of your country can be created by your own nation, but development has to be realistic. For example,you can't have an LIC building flying cars in 2025 or have antimatter bombs in 2030.
 * 11) You may colonise space at any time if you have the ability and resources to do so. Take your colonisation step by step and be realistic. You can only colonise if you have a space agency and a spaceport.You may build a spaceport if you wish, but you must have sufficient funds and a space agency.
 * 12) The role of the moderator is for responses to players having diplomacy between NPCs, check and edit events if they wish and to make sure no one is cheating or not abiding by the rules. You can sign up to be a moderator in the comments, but to do so you must have prior map game experience (played in at least 2 map games or have had prior experience to running/moderating a map game). Moderators will not be allowed to abuse their powers.
 * 13) The role of the Supreme Gamemaster FireBlaze19 is to check all turns comply with the rules, write, check and edit events every turn, appoint moderators and fill in for empty moderator slots and ban players who do not comply with the rules. Any complaints should be lobbied with the the Supreme Gamemaster but you may not get a response.
 * 14) Turns are one year long until 2100 when they become 2 years long.
 * 15) Do not join just to spite another player.
 * 16) When you invade another nation, you must have good reason to do so. Any joke reasons (e.g. 'I felt like it' or 'I hate their country') will result in a ban for 3 turns. Also do not randomly launch your nukes, as the mods will not treat you kindly.
 * 17) Enjoy!

Events
'''The coronavirus pandemic has finally ended in Europe, North America, Oceania and most of Asia. It is now only present as a seasonal flu in these areas. But it still runs rampant in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia, still prevalent with cases in the tens of thousands in the worst cases due to the low vaccination rates.'''

'''The events in Myanmar become violent as the nation descends into civil war, splitting off into several factions, the main two being the Tatmadaw, supported by China, and the NUG, supported by the United States. Both countries are yet to send any support. There are several splinter factions, largely made out of separatist groups such as the Shan Coalition,Karen National Liberation Army, United Wa State Army and the Kachin Independence Army.'''

'''The Tigray War rages on, with the Tigray separatists still holding sway against combined Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. A fresh massacres occurs in the war, committed by the Ethiopian military, where 183 civilians are killed. It becomes widely publicised and turns much of the world's opinions against Ethiopia.'''

'''The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan becomes under attack by various resistance groups. Some are warlords seeking to control Afghanistan, some are various far-right and far-left groups and others are resistance forces organised by the government-in-exile and various other nations.

'''The wars in Tigray, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan are dubbed 'The Wars of the Deserts'. The growing violence in the region is especially concerning, as with the withdrawal of most Western powers, regional powers such as Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt begin to take matter into their own hands.'''

'''Haiti, still without a clear government, breaks down into civil war after another earthquake and storm combined. The most prevalent factions are The Constitution of Haiti under Ariel Henry, the Socialist Liberation Party under Ricardo Joseph (Supported by Cuba) and The Progressive Defence Force under Emmanuel Louis (supported by Mexico). There are also various splinter states. Both Cuba and Mexico have sent supplies to their supported factions.

'''Technology takes a turn for the better after autonomous cars hit the roads for the first time in Europe. Phages become used for the first time in medical treatment, helping to save many people from superbug infections.'''

Events
'''The Myanmar Civil War continues, with both sides making minor gains against each other in increasingly vicious battles. Only the separatist militias make any real progress, by mostly consolidating their position. The war spills over into Thailand, adding further reason for unrest in the country.

'''In a summit between China and the USA, both nations agreed to not send expeditionary troops to the region to decrease bloodshed. While most congratulate this peace effort in times of instability, some are angered that their governments are not doing enough. Germany, UK, Poland, Australia, South Korea and the Phillipines have all expressed support for the NUG, while Russia, Serbia and Kazakhstan support the Tatmadaw.

'''The Haiti Civil War takes a turn for the worse as The Socialist Liberation Party capture Port-au-Prince. Ariel Henry flees the country to the USA, with only small pockets of resistance left. The PDF still holds sway in the south.

'''A Kurdish uprising begins in Iraq, who are beaten back by the Kurdish armed militias, backed by the SDF. The SAR and the SIG clash around Aleppo as renewed attacks begin. Syria has turned into a battleground between Iran and Turkey.

'''The Tigray War takes a sinister turn when Somalia is revealed to be sending troops to Ethiopia against Tigray. Sudan then declares war on Ethiopia in support of Tigray after an especially violent border clash, in which numerous Sudanese troops were killed.

'''Rebels in Papua New Guinea start an uprising, demanding that the current corrupt government be replaced with a new legislation. They also blame the poor state of the country on the government. Bougainville took this opportunity to become independent. It is unclear who the rebels are supported by.

'''The fragile ceasefire in the Donbass region breaks down as renewed violence in the region begins after both sides accused each other of attacking the other.

'''Islamic State gains a foothold in Sub-saharan Africa after a devastating drought took hold of the region. They captured parts of Mali, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon. Most militaries were unable to stop them, as the IS used hit-and-run tactics to harass the poorly trained militaries.

'''After the 2023 Sub-saharan Drought,a military coup occurs in Liberia. The civilian government is deposed after a month of unrest.

'''As a result of the global warming and numerous wars, a global refugee crisis occurs. Most refugees come from Syria, Ethiopia and Haiti, seeking safety from the military conflicst and panic occuring in their countries. This causes panic and violent clashes in Europe as governments, not wanting to be swamped by refugees, deny entry to refugees. Although many condemn this response, right-wing politics begins to engulf parts of Europe.

Economy: France's economy is the second largest in Europe, and the 4th most populated behind Russia, Germany, and Turkey. Its life  standards are really high, with it having an outstanding HDI.

 * Wars and Conflicts: WIP
 * Internal Affairs:
 * Socialist Movements: Socialism was growing in the first half of this year, but then the growth is starting to stabilize, it is having a similar growth to the Communist Party. The Socialists, unlike the Communists, doesn't have a state in history which failed from the system, and the 21st century reformation in China also makes spotlight for the Social-Democrat Party.
 * Communist Movements: Communism is mostly growing, but the Communists only win support from the centralists, since the Democrats hate the idea of a Communist state; the communist movement has lost its power after the Soviet collapse.
 * Far-Right Movements: Far-right movements seem to halt for some time, since the agreement of the Refugee Aid has made the public somewhat lessen hate towards the refugees, but the ports which refugees are redirected occasionally get attacked by Far-Right groups. Originally having a 36% crime to being sent to justice ratio, but we put more police forces to the ports, and the crime to justice ratio goes up to 59%, and is still increasing. The implementing of cameras at the ports also help capture the horrible things done by Far-Right islamophobes, which we make public so the Far-Right movement has -for at least a few years, but most likely for a long time- lost its thunder.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Afghani Resistance [Secret]: We secretly start sending material support to the various resistance groups in Afghanistan, most notably the Afghani Restoration Movement (named it) and democratic opposition (if there is one).
 * United States of America: We ask the Americans whether they would want to take in the refugees from the new crisis, since Europe will be scarred by another refugee crisis if the refugees come into it. We also ask the other european NATO members what they think of this.
 * Refugee Aid and Redirection Proposal: We ask the members of NATO whether to set up ways that the refugees that can be directed from Europe and the Middle East into the United States. Macron shows a plan of diverting the refugees by sea and land: in the sea, instead of making a permanent move into Europe, the refugees can be directed by a series of ports across the mediterranean which they would be taken from the Strait of Gibraltar into America (if they want, they can build new ports); other independent additions to the proposal could be a series of railroads from Syria into Turkey, possibly Iskenderun, Payas, Arzus, or most likely, Samandag (All in the province of Hatay) (Hatay is Syrian).
 * German Response: Germany approves of this plan, but is also willing to take refugees in if there are too many refugees and migrants. Germany would also like to encourage fellow NATO nations to be on stand-by to accept refugees if the numbers are too high.
 * Mod Response: All NPC nations agree to this plan, with Canada, Spain, Belgium and Netherlands agreeing to accept migrants should there be an overflow.
 * Flag of UK.pngBritish Diplomacy: Britain agrees to accept 7,000 additional refugees a year from Afghanistan for the next 5 years on top of any and all Afghan nationals previously working (directly) for or with the British government in Afghanistan. Any more refugees and/or any economic immigrants must go through the usual immigration channels as Britain's immigrant assimilation programme is under immense strain.
 * French Response: We would also follow nations that would accept migrants in an overflow.

The idea, called American Socialism, takes hold among many in the progressive and liberal wings of the Democratic Party. Some local Democrat activists even call for Socialism, or a mixed economy, to take over what has been, according to them, "an oppressive capitalist greed culture, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Some American policy analysts point to China's rise as a potential soft power move into the United States.
 * NASA Budget Increase 2024: NASA, seeing competition from the Russian and Chinese governments, requests a budget increase for the year 2024. Biden considers this option heavily.
 * Foreign Affairs:
 * Refugee Crisis: Biden pushes Congress to lift the Refugee Cap in the United States, as a way to make sure peace is secure in the world.
 * Crimean Invasion: President Biden encourages Russia to call off their invasion of Crimea, and states "We hope to promote international peace, but threats to that same peace make it very difficult. We encourage Russia to call back their troops, and cease invasion into Crimea."
 * France and UK NAFTA: President Biden along with Anthony Blinken announce their support for France and The United Kingdom's interest in joining NAFTA. Many democrats and republicans agree with this, with Democrats claiming this will promote and strengthen ties further with allies, and Republicans saying the United States should unify with our allies against China and Russia.
 * Response to Russian Hostility: President Biden responds to the Russian Propaganda, saying "These are the tactics the Soviets used to pull during their decline. If Russia and the Kremlin desire peace, that is what we will work to achieve. If they desire brutalizing pre-war tactics, among other things, then we will have no choice but to respond." Biden also comments that "The United States is not pushing any country to join NAFTA, we are welcoming them with open arms if they would like to, and if not, so be it."
 * Haiti Government Recognition: Citing failing efforts by the Haitian Government, as well as the fleeing of Prime Minister Henry, The United States, reluctantly, recognizes the Socialist Liberation Party as the legitimate government of Haiti.
 * USA responds to Russia/Ukraine Conflict: The United States demands NATO or the United Nations intervene between Russia and Ukraine. In an emergency statement, President Biden says "We have received reports of a possible war between Russia and Ukraine. Rest assured we will not sleep until the Russian threat is dissolved, whether through peaceful means or warring means." Biden's statement earns him an improvement in the polls, with his approval rating sitting at a 60%.

 * Fallout of the incident - We are enraged by the clash between us and Ukraine, and would send an ultimatum to Ukraine: Apologize and hand in reperations, or we will declare war on them.
 * Mod Response: Ukraine refuses to accept the ultimatum. They will only pay reparations, but will not apologise as Russian troops clearly entered territory first, and that they are already attacking us in other regions.

However we offer to train members of the Tatmadaw to become pilots and then lend-lease them airplanes. Tatmadaw forces are also permitted to regroup and resupply in Yunnan, with several stations in south Yunnan set up to facilitate this.


 * Haitian Civil War: We officially recognise the Socialist Liberation Party as the legitimate government of Haiti, citing the Henry government's flee from the island and abandonment of their citizens.

 * Green Energy: We are working extensively to reduce our carbon emissions, and this year we extend our cap-and-trade policy from merely coal and gas fired power plants to all industry in China. Furthermore we plan to have constructed 10 geothermal plants across China by 2030, bringing our capacity to produce geothermal energy to 100MV. Research continues at the EAST fusion reactor to try and make this a viable option, but so far it remains out of reach.

Events
'''In response to increased support from Russia and China, the NUG recruits various separatist factions such as the KNLA and the Shan Coalition, promising them either autonomy or independence. This force the Tatmadaw on more than one front, causing them to lose some territory but are still holding sway in the North.'''

'''A coup by civilians in Thailand is made, allegedly backed by the army, who stormed the residence of the Thai king, who barely escaped. The Thai Revolution replaces the current monarchy with a more democratic Republic of Thailand. A few royalist resistance forces occupy the north.

''' The war between Sudan and Ethiopia reaches a gridlock as the two sides fail to make gains against each other. Eritrean troops are pushed back by the Tigrayan forces as Sudanese troops clash with troops on the border.

'''A far right-wing government is elected in Serbia, who spread the far-right movement into nations such as Greece, Hungary and Poland.

'''The PDF are almost annihilated by the new People's Republic of Haiti due to support from China. The remainder of the PDF continue to fight valiantly against the PRH.

'''Maduro is mysteriously assassinated in his home in Venezuela. He died of gunshot wounds, with a message written on the wall reading, Long Live The People. Just 3 days later, an armed far left wing militia attacked the government buildings, taking hostages and declaring a new Marxist-Leninist republic. Juan Guiado leads a resistance movement, telling the people he will restore the republic.

'''The STC secures an independence deal with Yemen, stating that once the war is over, they can have independence. However, the port of Aden must be shared by the two nations.

'''Tensions rise between Russia and USA, after Russia allegedly told USA to leave them alone. With Ukraine's rejection of Russia's ultimatum, a possible war looms on the horizon.

'''Although France claims that the far-right movement is diminishing, a terrorist attack by a far-right group of 10 men attacked Brussels, targeting immigrants by driving a van into a crowd of people before firing on the crowd. They killed 56 people and injured 98 more before being killed by police officers. A second attack just happened a day later in Leipzig, with 5 gunmen firing upon crowds in a shopping mall, killing 23 and wounding 64 before being shot dead. They shouted 'AfD forever!' before opening fire. Intelligence services note the similarities in the attacks, and fear an underground organisation could be behind this.

 * Human Development Index (HDI): 0.824 (Very High)
 *  Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Russo-Ukranian War - We will publish war updates here, as well as any use of "Special Weapons" (i.e. Illegal weapons).
 * January -Towards the evening of the first day of the war, the 1st Guards Tank Army is being transported to the northern part of the Russo-Ukranian border. They will be responsible for capturing the city of Cherniv and attack Kiev from the north. Meanwhile, the 20th Guards Army began it's offensive into northeastern Ukraine. They are split into two main sections: The 3rd Motor Rifle Division, responsible for capturing Sumy; and the 144th Guards Motor Rifle Division, responsible for capturing Kharkiv. The remaining compoments of the Army are split into these two groups relatively equally. Meanwhile, the 1st Army Corps is tasked with capturing the city of Mykolaiv as its first objective. Our airforce swarms the skies of the Crimean border, as bombs rain down on the cities of Zaporizhzhia and Odessa.
 * Northern Front - The 144th Guards Army, combined with the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, entered Ukraine at 0600 hours. We would advance along E105 highway and the T2117 road, capturing the village of Slatyne by noon. Pytomnyk was also captured around midday. By the end of January 5th, we would advance to the towns of Derhachi and Lisne, just outside of Kharkiv. Meanwhile, the 159th and 790th Fighter Air Regiment began it's strategic bombardment of Kharkiv and Izyum, clearing out any Ukrainian aircraft that face us. Further up north, the 3rd Motor Rifle Division attacked via the H07 Road and the fields nearby. The advance was less rapid due to the lack of roads into Sumy, but still, we would reach the village of Pishchane, just outside of Sumy by the end of January 5th.
 * Southern Front - The 1st Army Corps attacks from Crimea in the south. We would face a much larger resistance from the Ukranians, as they were expecting an invasion from Crimea. We would not make much advances, and suffer roughly 5,000 casulties before the day was over. Over the course of the month, we would make several smaller advances, in an attempt to reach the southern bank of Dniper River. Around the same time, the 58th Army arrives atthe rebel-controlled Luhansk, and began an offensive into the city of Donetsk. The fighting around eastern Ukraine was fierce, due to Ukranian soldiers already present in the area. Rocket Artillery from the 439th Rocket Artillery Brigade rain down on the cities of Donetsk and Severodonetsk, causing many casulties.
 * February - The Battles of Kharkiv and Sumy resulted in a Russian victory. However, we would suffer heavy casulties in Kharkiv, which many considered a major embarassment. The 1st Guards Tank Army also arrives at the Ukranian border, and began it's assualt along the Dniper River. The attack was rapid, using combined arms to take over multiple villages with stunning speed. However, we would be held off at the towns of Horodyna and Snovsk.
 * Battle Results: Sumy is an embarrassing Ukrainian defeat, with the Ukrainian forces being decimated by Russian troops. Sumy falls in just 12 days. Kharkiv however is the first Ukrainian victory in the war, despite heavy bombardment. The Ukrainians had surprisingly anticipated the attack, repulsing the Russian attacks 5 times before the Russians were forced to retreat. But just one month later, Kharkiv was evacuated, allowing it to fall into Russian hands, but the city's resources had been either removed or sabotaged, and all Ukrainian troops had safely withdrawn across the Dnieper into Kiev and nearby regions, using the river's defence against a Russian advance. Many see this as a Pyrrhic Victory for Russia: they suffered twice as many casualties as the Ukrainians.
 * March - April - Throughout March and April, we would sweep through most of eastern Ukraine, with suspciously minimum resistance. By April 30th, we are at the gates of Poltava and Dnipro, two major cities in Ukraine. In the southern front, we have swept across southern Ukraine, capturing Nova Kakhovka and Enerhodar. Meanwhile, the bombs are raining down on Kiev, Dnipro and Odessa, with the Ukranians resisting heavily on the River Dnipro. We are currently near Brovary, a town just outside of Ukraine. There, we set up rocket artillery, and fire it on Kiev, targetting the city center to destroy their morale.


 *  Internal Affairs: 
 * Reserved called up - With the beginning of the Russo-Ukranian war, we would call up all reserves aged between 25-27, in case if NATO retalliates.
 * 2024 Russian Elections - The 2024 Russian Elections will be coming in May this year. It is once again expected that Vladimir Putin will win the elections. He did indeed win the elections.
 *  International Affairs (Diplomacy): 
 * Russo-Ukranian War Begins - With our ultimatium rejected, and with the Ukranians "attacking" our soldiers we would decide to act. On January 5th, 2024 at around 6am, the 45th Guards Spetsnaz Brigade, along with the 106th Guards Airbourne Division landed in the Ukranian capital of Kiev, with the troops screaming: "Stay calm, do not retaliate or we fire!" in Russian. Shortly before dawn, the 20th Guards Army stormed the northeastern part of the Russo-Ukranian border, with rocket artillery raining down on the cities of Kharkiv and Sumy. Further down south, the 8th Army stormed from the Southeastern border of Ukraine, with the 1st Army Corps attacking from Crimea. The Black Sea fleet opened fire on the port city of Odessa at around 0800 hours.
 * Response to American condemnation - We would in turn, critzize the Americans for faking their protection of their ally. We would state that if they really had made efforts to protect Ukraine, they would have got them to join NATO.

 Fifth Republic of France: -TheOttomanConqueror

Economy: France's economy is the second largest in Europe, and the 4th most populated behind Russia, Germany, and Turkey. Its life  standards are really high, with it having an outstanding HDI.
 * Government: Federative Democratic Republic, Semi-Presidential, Bicameral.
 * President: Emmanuel Macron
 * Capital: Paris, the cultural symbol of France, the center of tourism in continental Europe, being the official capital of France for over a thousand years.
 * Population: 65,913,572 people
 * GDP: 2.733 Trillion USD
 * HDI: 0.901 (Really High)
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * War in Ukraine: We also make sure to send in another 10,000 reinforcements along with plenty of armored vehicles, tanks, and fighter planes to the front lines both in land and air.
 * Internal Affairs:
 * Socialist Movements: Socialism is continuing to increase, even with government propaganda on the internet. Its leader continues to make speeches across the country, but never staying at one place for long, to not get arrested or something. In the elections, the Socialists got a threatening amount of 14.1% of the votes, which concerns many in the government.
 * Communist Movements: Communism trend is losing its former growth, partly because of the Socialist party, and the fact that the government sends propaganda making Communism look bad (which it is). Although, the Communists continue speaking against the government.
 * Far-Right Movements: Far-Right movements seem to increase after the attacks on Leipzig and Brussels, to counteract this we put a temporary curfew, to make sure no more acts of violence happens. Even though protests back. Brute force or tear gas and stuff like that are reserved for if the protestors attack. There are a few violent protests, which attempts to calm them break down and we have to disperse them with... I dunno, tear gas or something. Sadly, far-rights attacking immigrants continue to happen. This year, a total of 76 peop muslims, repor being attacked of some sort, although the government continues to slowly crack down on these inhumane acts.
 * President Macron asks the USA for exactly why Biden decided to suppor non-capitalist nation, instead of trying to make a democratic nation in Haiti.
 * American Response: We decided to support the new government, as the old government had fallen. We want to promote peace in this new era, whether that be through support or diplomatic means. We will not abandon our allies, and we feel this will help strengthen our relations with the new Haitian government.
 * France: We can understand the USA's reasoning, but are still suspicious about whether Haiti would warm relations with China now. Meanwhile, months have passed and Macron hasn't made any public statement of Haiti.
 * China [Secret]: The socialist political party, Parti Socialiste, would like to get financial aid from China (This is also secret from the rest of politics in France).
 * Chinese Response: [Secret] Several Chinese state-owned companies agree to make considerable donations to the party in exchange for certain individuals deemed to be particularly “pro-China” being placed in positions of power in the party [End Secret].
 * French Response: [Secret]: We respond with "How many/ what percentage?". (Also, I don't know a lot about politics. Could you also say how influential what you want will be? Thanks...)
 * NAFTA and EU: We would ask the EU on whether to let us join NAFTA; on one side, this would mean for us a bigger collaboration with the USA, but at the same time might give it privileges to intervene in European politics, since France would become a gateway.
 * Nationalism On The Rise: We would ask our fellow NATO members to increase the security in cities and suburbs, since we would like to keep Europe in a democratic manner. Curfews or Martial Law may be needed when necessary. We also would point out that in the high chance the attacks on Brussels and Leipzig, a foreign administration may be involved. This is because the far-rights would focus on their country first. That means one option: it could be Serbia.
 * This is continued on the next paragraph.
 * Sinister Serbia: We would ask both the UN and also NATO members to intervene in Serbia, because the formation of a nationalist state is something that we should not let happen. We also say that we should learn from history, as in the 30's the Nazi Germans were continually appeased, and not intervened on. We say that the fascists should be replaced, and we could first threat them diplomatically, but if needed we should respond with brute force. If we let this happen, it would set a precedent for other far-right groups across Europe.
 *  [Player and Mod Responses for the last 4 paragraphs, please, NATO :)] 
 * USA Response: We offer to send 500 troops to assist in France's erasure of far-right nationalism, as well as offer economic support for certain pre-approved endeavors.

 * Continental Terror Attacks: The British government and public condemn the recent terror attacks in France and Germany in the strongest terms possible, warning that the Continent's turn towards left-wing and right-wing extremism is something that has happened before and should not happen again. Similar to Britain's reaction to the French Revolution, May 68, and the rise of Nazism, the British public have reacted to the Continent's extremism with characteristic scepticism, disdain and conservatism, leading to a rise in support for the ruling Conservative party and diminished support for the SNP and, after its leader refused to condemn the attacks, a complete collapse in support for UKIP, leading to its de-registration as an official political party.


 * Home Affairs:
 * General Election: The Conservative Party wins the 2024 British general election with a diminished majority of 360 seats.
 * Economy: British entry into the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) proves to be a massive boon to the economy as markets in the City of London are bullish and the economy sees a slight uptick above normal growth rates.
 * Devolution: The thorny issue of devolution is finally addressed by the Conservative party through the passage of a new Act of Union, resulting in the revocation of the unenumerated powers of the Scottish Government, but compensating for this through increased enumerated powers. The same is applied to the Welsh Government. The response is largely positive from the general public but pure fury from the SNP. The Prime Minister powers through, banking on the Act's popularity with Unionists to keep him in office.
 * Policing Reform: As part of a grassroots effort within the Conservative Party, a new law is introduced to curb the practice of various police forces across the UK, including the London Metropolitan Police, of recording 'non-crime hate incidents' including offensive remarks and offensive online speech, which many consider to be a violation of the freedom of speech. A new Metropolitan Police Commissioner is appointed who introduces reforms to "make the police less Orwellian", including the elimination of the practice of visiting the homes of those who have posted non-criminal offensive material (and that are not on any watchlist) and "verifying the benignity of their thoughts".
 * University Reform: A Royal Commission on University Reform For The 21st Century is established and is expected to produce a report in 1.5 years time.
 * Digital Currency: Under pressure from grassroots conservative campaigners, research and development into a British digital currency is accelerated.


 * Security & Defence Affairs:
 * Budget: Decades of defence cuts are reversed with the defence budget rising to 2.3% of GDP. Additionally, funding to the security and intelligence services is increased as well.
 * Research & Development: Research into military applications of artificial intelligence, augmented reality and microdrone technology are fast-tracked with additional funding. [Secret] Work on developing integrated head-up display (HUD) systems into soldier's helmets and into vehicle windows is reported to be ahead of schedule. [/Secret]
 * China Policy: With a shift away from combatting terrorism in the Middle East coupled with rising tensions with the authoritarian expansionism of China, intelligence and defence work is re-tooled to focus significantly more on the Indo-Pacific region.


 * Foreign Affairs:
 * Foreign Aid: In line with previously announced changes to the British system of foreign aid (and in light of the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban and its non-cooperation with British charities), foreign aid to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen are reduced, with funds diverted to Malawi, Lesotho, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda and Gabon with a particular focus on supporting mass vaccination (against malaria and other local diseases) and nutrition schemes. Funding is also directed towards the establishment of low-cost primary education facilities in rural areas of these countries.

 * GDP: $20.9 trillion
 * GDP Per Capita (USD): $14,768
 * Human Development Index (HDI): 0.767 (High)
 *  Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Myanmar Civil War: We continue our material support of the Tatmadaw. Also a group of Tatmadaw soldiers have successfully been trained to pilot Chinese aircraft and we send them back to Myanmar along with lend-leased fighter jets and bombers to ensure Tatmadaw aerial domination. The guidance of two of our finest military minds is also offered to the Tatmadaw, with both Wang Jianwu and Qin Tian being sent to advise the Tatmadaw in their efforts to bring stability to the nation of Myanmar.
 *  Internal Affairs and Events: 
 * Belt and Road Initiative: Construction on the belt and road railways in Western China, as well as other facilities to allow the transportation of large volumes of goods through Xinjiang such as huge depots and upgrading local infrastructure such as energy and road to support the increase in demand. In order to facilitate this construction we begin offering rebates for rent for construction workers moving from other provinces to Xinjiang. [Secret] It is hoped that this will help to displace the Uighur population from cities in Xinjiang [End Secret]. As Southeast Asia is very important to the belt and road initiative, and to our current foreign policy goals, we want to upgrade Port Darwin to be able to have a container capacity of 800,000 TEU by 2030. But we are hoping to be able to do this with as many Chinese worker on visas as possible, and limit the number of Australian workers on the site.
 * Internal Health Improvements: With the coronavirus pandemic having so recently devastated the world, and with it bringing to light how devastating the similar SARS outbreak in the early 2000s could have been. As both of these outbreaks began in China, we think that we can work to prevent similar outbreaks in the future. As of the beginning of the program in 2024, we have two main initiatives to achieve our goals. The first is to ensure that all Chinese citizens have an adequate level of healthcare through both the construction of around 6000 hospitals across China by 2030 and the implementation of the ChinaCare program which aims to centralise healthcare in China, providing standards for all hospitals to maintain to, as well as introducing a public national health insurance system for all of China to help pay for healthcare through the use of government rebates. Secondly we are increasing funding for research into drugs to cure coronavirus strains.
 * Made in China 2025: Made in China 2025 (MIC 2025) is a project to move China's manufacturing capabilities away from cheap low-tech goods and towards technology-expensive products. In order to achieve this goal, our government is seeking to invest in new technologies, with a particular emphasis on gathering experts to work on improving Chinese semiconductor technology. This year, we invest close to $2 trillion on the MIC 2025 project. We are also looking to in particular fund advances in biotech and biomedicine, which we hope to be able to use in our project to improve China's health system.
 * South China Sea: We continue to assert our right to use our island territories in the South China Sea including the Paracel and Spratley islands. We want to improve our aerial power projection in this region, and as such are committed to improving our radar system on the islands and to increase the number of aircraft that can be launched from our existing airstrips on the islands, in some cases increasing the area of the island to do so.
 *  International Affairs: 
 * Russia: We condemn the refusal of Ukraine to defuse tensions following their murder of Russian soldiers. In the face of increasing Western hostility we wish to offer a Sino-Russian Free Trade Agreement to safeguard both of our nation's economies.
 * Indonesia: The Yanzhou Coal Mining Company is looking to buy the company PT Arutmin Indonesia from its parent company of Bumi Resources.
 * Indonesia Response: We would accept, as long as there is reasonable regulation and oversight from our side.
 * USA: [Secret] We begin looking to insert a Chinese spy into the American congress in the 2024 elections. Philip Bao is a lawyer, living in California, who we are looking to work with as we have determined him to be sympathetic to our cause. We donate close to $5 million through subsidiaries of state-owned companies in a campaign to win Bao both the Democratic primary and general election for California's 39th congressional district in 2024 [End Secret].
 * Laos: [Secret] We would like to offer Laos a deal: if they intervene in the Myanmar Civil War, they can be assured a steady supply of Chinese equipment to help them in their efforts [Secret].

 * HDI: 0.934 (Very High)
 * Internal Affairs:
 * Memo on Socialism: [SECRET] An internal memo is published by the Department of Defense, warning of the rise of Socialism and anti-western messages, both foreign and domestically disseminated.[SECRET]
 * Increasing Socialism: Many members of the American public increasingly subscribe to the new American Socialist movement, claiming socialist and mixed economic policies are the best direction to head for the future of the United States. Along with the increasing socialist movement, the democratic party and the left-wing politicians are seeing increasing support, due to the new "blue wave".
 * Statement on Socialism: President Biden makes a statement on the increase of socialism, saying "The United States has not, and will never be, a socialist country. We continue to push democratic beliefs, despite what some may say. The United States needs to remain united, in the face of these increasing threats." The statement is seen as divisive, and President Biden's approval rating drops to a 54%.
 * Congress and Socialism: [SECRET] A few prominent members of Congress consider the socialist argument heavily. They say via internal documents, "Change will not wait for the United States, and we may continue to fall behind if we do not seriously consider allying with these ideals." These few Congress members create a secret "Socialist Pact." [SECRET]
 * Election Frenzy: With the election soon to be upon the United States, many citizens are waiting in hope, with many also waiting in fear. With the Republican's vying for control of the Presidency, and Democrats pushing back, trying to remain with a triple-majority, politics are once again dividing the United States. Many are starting to sympathize with the American Socialist Movement as well, adding a divide to the Democratic Party as to what path to choose.
 * Increasing Socialist Support: The American Socialist Movement has increased further, with many among the young population saying they would support a socialist and progressive United States over a capitalist and conservative United States. Additionally, socialism is starting to receive support from traditional democrats, who say change should happen for the future.
 * Biden on reelection: With many questioning whether Joe Biden will run for reelection, he prepares a statement, and gives a speech. "I will not be seeking reelection, as I feel our country should move forward in better ways, and I do not feel up to it. I have loved my job for the past 4 years, and I love helping and serving the American People. But at the end of the day, I do not feel up to full strength to continue this job anymore. I apologize to the crowd who wanted me to run again, but I will be a one-term president."
 * Election Frontrunners: With Biden announcing he will not run for another term, a popular frontrunner emerges among the Democratic Party, as well as the Republican Party. Most Democrats polled by Pew support a younger, more democratic socialist politician, such as AOC. AOC is backed by multiple democrats, with little competition from others, including Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang(identifying as a democrat) and a few others. Republicans have placed their bets on Donald Trump, whom despite having lost, has been the GOP figurehead for the past 4 years, while the GOP rebranded to fit younger conservatives. Trump seems to be the frontrunner, but has major competition in the form of Ron Desantis, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
 * Foreign Affairs:
 * Socialist Pact Support: [SECRET] The Socialist Pact, a newly created small congressional group, contacts the governments of China and Russia via private phone lines. They say "due to the hostile nature of the United States towards socialist/communist policies, we have chosen to remain anonymous with this information we are providing. We would like your help and assistance with trying to shift the United States to become more socialist, little by little. We believe this is the way the world will start to go, and we want to be ready for it."[SECRET]
 * Taking action on Russia: President Biden condemns Russia's actions in Ukraine, and calls on other countries to send support. We would send 50,000 troops for backup in Ukraine, and would also send 25,000 into Crimea. We would also send various military supplies, along with weapons and supplies for citizens.
 * Biden Response to Russia: President Biden claims the United States is very close to declaring war on Russia, claiming that "We will not allow our allies to be pushed around, and will send whatever help is necessary in the face of this threat. The Russians have their hand over the button, whether they press it is their choice." Americans are mixed on this issue, with the pro-socialist crowd claiming this will aggravate their possible relations with both Russia and China, and the patriotic crowd claiming the threat needs to be stopped, even if that involves nuclear weapons or mass casualties. Biden's approval rating rises to 56%.

Events
'''The Russian invasion force are stopped dead in their tracks just 10 miles from Kiev by combined NATO and Ukrainian forces. In the north, a deadly stalemate begins as both forces bombard each other with artillery. In the south, naval forces clash around Crimea while NATO forces make minor gains in the region. Forces are largely composed of US, German, Polish, Romanian, Italian and Canadian troops, with the refusal of British and French intervention leading to protests against the government.

'''Serbia commences an invasion of Kosovo, seeking the perfect opportunity to make major Serbian gains. Only Albania is defending Kosovo.

'''The world is shaken when a Socialist Pact inside the US Congress is revealed to the world by a double agent. The US and NATO begins a manhunt for the members, with more links found to Chinese support for the pact.

'''The IS capture Bamako, capital of Mali, forcing its capitulation. Only then does anyone intervene: Senegal, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, UAE and Oman form a pact to destroy the IS for once and for all. They also decide to try to end the Wars of the Deserts, forming an alliance called United Transnational Desert States.

'''The Myanmar Civil War become progressively bloody and violent. Uprisings begin in Tatmadaw controlled territory, allowing the NUG and its allies to advance rapidly towards Naypyidaw.

'''The PDF is annihilated by the PRH, with the remaining fragments fleeing to Mexico or forming underground resistance movements. Although Emmanuel Louis also flees, he says he will continue to fight against the PRH.

'''Papua New Guinea falls to the rebels, with a new socialist republic being formed.

'''Encouraged by the Thai Revolution, the people of Belarus rise up in revolt against Lukashenko. All connection with the nation is lost, with reports of extreme police brutality, mass imprisonment and use of military to crush revolts. An incursion onto Polish territory causes Poland to invade Belarus in response, backed by NATO.

 * Home Affairs:
 * Scottish Elections: As Scottish elections draw to a close, it becomes clear that the SNP has lost the vast majority of its support, likely in large part due to the decisive crushing of the nationalist cause the previous year. A coalition government for Scotland is formed between the Scottish Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats.
 * Socialist Treason: The UK conducts investigations into possible collusion between members of the British political class and the CCP of China, similar to many of its NATO allies. The investigations result in a scandalous discovery, that many members of the leftist faction of the Labour Party have been in contact with the CCP and requested cooperation to bring about a socialist regime in the United Kingdom. These individuals are immediately charged with treason by the Home Office but unfortunately all but one are ultimately acquitted. Nonetheless, this irreparably ends the careers of all these politicians and causes a collapse in the support of the Labour Party, resulting in a corresponding rise in support for the liberal faction of the Liberal Democrats.
 * University Reform: WIP
 * Digital Currency: WIP


 * Security & Defence Affairs:
 * War in Eastern Europe: Caught off guard by the amount of public support for yet another war, the British government responds quickly by deploying 20,000 troops to the War in Ukraine to assist in NATO operations in securing Ukraine from Russian aggression.
 * Research & Development: [Secret] The first operational head up display (HUD) systems are fielded for testing in Ukraine by special forces operatives. As part of this exercise, prototype aerial surveillance microdrones are deployed to provide real-time aerial reconnaissance information to ground troops through they HUDs. Early prototype suicide microdrones are also deployed to test their feasibility as a low-cost zero-unintended-casualty alternative to the American's preferred method of drone strikes. [/Secret]
 * China Policy: The UK offers to partner with Australia and South East Asian nations in launching patrols of International Waters and Sovereign waters in the South China Sea to counter illegal Chinese expansionism. [Mod/Player Response]

 * Foreign Affairs:
 * Wars of the Deserts: The UK commends the formation of the United Transnational Desert States as a step towards regional peace and security.
 * Belarusian Revolution: [Secret] Agents of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) are dispatched to Belarus to ascertain exactly what is happening. [Mod Response] [/Secret]
 * Mod Intelligence Report: [SECRET] Agents send back footage of a riot being brought down with tear gas and extreme brutality. One agent reports he saw police bash a protestor to death. Mass arrests are occurring, with some more influential people disappearing. The Belorussian Resistance Force, an underground organisation supporting the revolution, reply by sabotaging supplies, raiding military bases, organising attacks on industry, mass recruitment and attacking government officials. Military forces clash with resistance, which result in heavy firefights. Grodno has already fallen to the resistance control, who hope the incoming Poles will reinforce their position. For now, Minsk still remains under Lukashenko's control. [/Secret]
 * Invasion of Kosovo: As the embattled troops of the NATO Kosovo Force, including 40 British troops and hundreds of American troops, continue to struggle against Serbian forces, the British contingent to NATO calls an emergency meeting of NATO leaders to discuss what to do in Kosovo before NATO troops there are overwhelmed and annihilated. [Mod/Player Responses]
 * Mod Response: All NPC NATO nations accept.
 * USA Response: We are going to try to mediate a peace deal with Russia, and will see how that goes first. For the time being, our troops will remain, until instructed otherwise.
 * Papua New Guinea: The British government refuses to recognise the socialist republic in Papua New Guinea.


 * War With United States of America:
 * Government (Public) Response: The United Kingdom reacts to the American declaration of war with absolute shock and surprise. An immediate and publicly televised threat is made to the US, in the hopes that the American public will see the insanity that is this war and the insane person that is their president, who has gone far beyond the likes of George Bush or any of his warmongering predecessors. The threat is simple: cease all hostilities immediately and have AOC resign from the presidency or nuclear weapons will be employed against the United States. Wartime rationing and information control is introduced, with the nation's media going on lockdown. British citizens in America are advised to stay with friends, American British-sympathisers, or go into hiding, preferably having acquired a gun to protect themselves.
 * Nuclear Preparedness: [Secret] The United Kingdom's nuclear defences are readied in case of nuclear retaliation. Information is disseminated to the public as to the location of nuclear shelters. Meanwhile, the British nuclear submarine fleet spreads out in stealth around the world to prepare to initiate nuclear launches in case retaliation is necessary. The Royal Family and military command structure are evacuated to multiple safe undisclosed locations. Sleeper agents in the United States and Russia prepare to initiate emergency end-of-world protocols if necessary. The evacuation of millions of citizens to Canada and Australia begins. Millions more make their own way to Africa or to the shelters/bunkers of Continental Europe. It is aimed that in the event of nuclear Armageddon, there will be millions of British citizens around the world to carry on the fight. [/Secret]
 * General Public Response: The general public is beyond stunned at the sudden betrayal by Britain's former closest ally. The stunned shock soon turns towards intense patriotism. Thankfully, due to the efforts of the government and Americans in Britain, this does not turn into anti-American hatred of ordinary Americans, but does result in the most severe anger towards the American government in British history. Volunteering for the military skyrockets with the Armed Forces expanding to a whopping 300,000 enlisted personnel in days. New personnel are put on hold as the military acquires emergency new funding and equipment.
 * Military Response [Secret]:
 * Order Anti-66: All troops and military establishments deployed with or near to United States troops are ordered to kill or apprehend any and all American troops and destroy all American military equipment. This includes the launching of missiles against all American military bases on European soil [Mod Response]. Furthermore, all American military officials in NATO and the UK are apprehended or shot, with the cooperation of European partners, the American offices at NATO headquarters are ransacked. The American embassy in the UK is surrounded and all personnel within (military or not) are either apprehended or shot. The American ambassador is ordered to deliver Britain's nuclear ultimatum to the United States.
 * Defending Old Blighty: The Royal Navy and Royal Airforce prepares to defend Britain against the oncoming Americans. Sea mines are planted all throughout the Atlantic Ocean and submarines begin anti-ship patrols.
 * Cyber Warfare: [Secret] The advanced capabilities of the GCHQ and military cyber teams initiate wave after wave of cyber attacks on the American infrastructure system, targeting power plants, telecommunication systems, and the emergency services. British agents in America sabotage power plants and infrastructure throughout the country. [/Secret]
 * Guerrilla Warfare: Diplomatic and military staff in the UK evacuate their premises and go into hiding with MI6 operatives, launching a campaign of guerrilla warfare with the aid of over a million British citizens in the country fighting for their lives and their freedom. [Secret] This includes sabotaging infrastructure and power plants, blowing up nuclear reactors and coal plants, plunging much of the country into darkness. This is done with the aid of sympathising Republicans and ordinary anti-war citizens of America. British microdrone technology is unleashed in America with the aim of covertly assassinating the US President and Vice President, and America's top military leadership. [Mod Response] [/Secret] The spirit of the British people remain strong.
 * Propaganda: Copious amount of white propaganda are distributed to Americans and American soldiers, encouraging them to rebel against their tyrannical and warmongering government, encouraging Americans to put an end to their corrupt government's corrupt war by any means necessary. It is hoped that this will reach not only soldiers and Republicans, but also sane Democrat voters who not long ago were part of the anti-war movement. No doubt this will result in uprisings, particularly in Republican/conservative strongholds. [Mod Response]
 * Asymmetric Warfare: Realising the difficulty of winning a quick and decisive war against the Americans, the British resolve to use asymmetric warfare against them. Arms manufacturing ramps up to an unbelievably high degree, with the aim of giving every man a rifle or a shotgun to defend themselves, their homes, and their community. [Secret] The manufacture of chemical weapons is restarted for the first time in a century, to be used as a last resort. Secret shipments are made to Canada by submarine. Meanwhile, the tactics of the Swiss are employed swiftly, with bunkers and traps built all throughout the country. Troops are sent over to Ireland to help them do the same. [/Secret] Citizens living in dense cities such as London are advised to move to the countryside if possible, to avoid American attempts at aerial bombing. The Scottish countryside quickly swells with refugees. Most British beaches are mined and its coasts are well defended by anti-ship and anti-air defences. The Americans will have to die for every inch of soil and sea they take.
 * American Nuclear Weapons in Europe: The permission of the Netherlands and Belgium is sought for a joint British-Dutch-Belgian attack on American nuclear facilities in said countries. [Mod Response] The British request that Germany, Italy, and Turkey do the same to neutralise the American threat on the Continent. [Mod Response]
 * Mod Response: The Dutch and Belgian governments agree to this plan and the American facilities are successfully neutralised. Germany, Italy and Turkey assure Britain that attacks will be underway.
 * Continental Allies: An emergency meeting of NATO and the EU is convened, with the Americans not present (having previously been arrested or shot). The topic of discussion is the American War of Aggression. It is proposed that Europe's combined forces marshal on the East Coast of the Continent and its combined navies and air forces marshal in the air and sea around Great Britain and Ireland to smite the Americans into the sea. Together we are strong. [Mod/Player Response]
 * Mod Response: All member states agree to this plan, bar Portugal, Spain and France who keep their armed forces within their own countries to defend them from American attack.
 * British Allies: [Secret] Communications are immediately sent to Canada, Australia and New Zealand to ask if they may help in any small or large way that they can. To Canada in particular a request is made that they cut off communications with America and allow British troops to assemble in Canada for a coordinated land invasion of New England and Washington State. [Mod Response] [/Secret]
 * Secret Service: [Secret] Agents of the various intelligence services (MI6, GCHQ, DI) operating in America are ordered to acquire as much intelligence as they can to aid the war effort, including feasible ways to assassinate the American president. [/Secret]


 * Assassination of American Leaders: Following the breakdown of talks at the UNSC, tens of thousands of AI-piloted suicide microdrones are released in America, with their assassination targets being American political, military and intelligence leaders. They make quick work of their New York targets and soon make their way to Washington DC [Mod Response]
 *  Mod Response: The assassinations are mostly successful, killing 72% of targets. President Ocasio-Cortez survives the attack.


 * War With Russia:
 * Nuclear Threat: Following the wholescale Russian invasion of Europe and NATO members, the UK keeps to its treaty obligations and comes to the defence of its allies with an identical ultimatum to Russia: End all hostilities or face nuclear winter.
 * British Troops On The Continent: Though priorities are with the war against America, British troops already on the Continent, particularly those in Eastern Europe due to the recently concluded war in Ukraine, cooperate with local military and political leaders to halt the Russian advance.
 * New Russian Regime: With the surprising new turn of events unfolding in Russia, the UK accepts Russia's peace offer, and is prepared to sign a peace treaty. The terms are simply, Russia shall retreat East of the Dnieper River, Europe will not follow past that River.
 * Russian response: We would accept the peace deal.


 * Nuclear Strikes Called Off: Moments before retaliatory nuclear strikes were to be launched in response to the American attacks, the strikes are called off due to Russia's actions in keeping Europe safe from American nuclear weapons.

The United States of America:


 * Government: The United States is a presidential democratic republic consisting of a legislative, executive, and judicial branch. The legislative branch consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the executive branch consists of the President and Vice President, along with various cabinet members, and the judicial branch consists of 9 justices on the Supreme Court, as well as various other federal courts.

 * Economy: The economy of the United States is currently the largest in the world, in terms of nominal GDP. With large domestic and foreign trade capacity, the United States economy has seen a steady, but slow, rise. The United States has strong primary, secondary, and tertiary industrial capacities which allow it to trade in massive volumes with other nations.
 * Currency: US Dollar
 * GDP per capita (PPP): $61220 per person
 * GDP Total (PPP): $25.122 Trillion
 * HDI: 0.939 (Very High)
 * Internal Affairs:
 * Election Results: AOC, the Democrats Primary candidate for the 2024 election, is sworn in, along with Andrew Yang. AOC becomes the first female, first Puerto Rican, first Millennial, and first self proclaimed socialist, to win the United States Presidency. Andrew Yang becomes the second Asian American to hold the office of Vice President.
 * Clarifying on Socialism: President Ocasio-Cortez immediately attempts to distance herself from the socialist pact, a few days after being sworn in. She is looked at by many as a socialistic candidate, even going so far as to claim so during her Presidential Campaign. To clarify, she speaks about her views on socialism, saying "I would like to formally distance myself from the socialist pact. I have never held those views, nor do I plan to act on the views of others, except for the will of the American People. The values I hold can be classified as Democratic Socialism, similar to the democracies in Scandinavia. Their quality of life, happiness, education, and social services are some of the best in the world. I believe in a vision of the United States similar to that, not of the extremist socialist views of some others."
 * Election Fraud: Donald Trump claims the election was rigged. From his office in the Mar-a-logo, he claims voter fraud and election rigging were the cause of the swing vote. Many swing states in various areas of the US voted for AOC, giving her a decisive victory of 412-126. These swing states, combined with record youth voting, as well as an increase in the minority vote as well as current socialist support, gave her that victory. The 2024 election will go down in history as highly contentious, but one side ultimately winning.
 * Attempted Assassination: Not even one month into the presidency of Ocasio-Cortez, she is hit with an assassination attempt. Raymond Walton Johnson, a cashier from Charlestown, West Virginia, was the attempted assassin. RWJ, as many members of right wing extremist groups called him, was selected and recruited for the mission, which was to take the President's life, and end socialism. In his manifesto, which is quickly discovered, he had written "Socialism is a cancer, one which needs to be cured. As a patriot, I will be the one to end it, and may God protect me." The assassination attempt is quickly investigated by the Secret Service and the DHS.
 * RWJ Investigation: [SECRET] Details are easily found on RWJ, due to his heavy online presence on social media. Many of the pictures and wording on various social networks seemed to be consistent with Schizophrenic behavior, such as pictures asking if someone was there, or seemingly delusional rants against the "regime". He claimed to have an obsession with the truth, and wanted everyone to see the "evil monster of socialism," as well as referred to AOC and Yang as the "harbors of death for the United States." Secret Service agents move on to search for his phone, where they make a shocking discovery. His phone held deleted records and screenshots of various private chats and forums, with other right wing members. These forums were massive, with over 100,000 on the member count. The agents quickly see who interacted with and funded RWJ, which includes members of the KKK, Proud Boys, Nazis, but most surprisingly, they find members of congress on the forums as well. Thirteen total members of congress, including 6 senators and 7 house members, are going to be arrested, and have warrants issued for their arrests. Two more notable members of the Republican Party are ordered to be arrested, and have warrants issued against them. The DHS and Secret Service agents wrap up their search, with the search yielding two long guns, one pistol, and two pipe-bombs, as well as illegal telecom equipment. These are all confiscated.[SECRET]
 * Details of the Attempt: Film of the assassination attempt is spread online, through various journalism and media channels. On January 23rd, three days after the President was sworn in, decided to make a speech on the Front Lawn of the White House about her goals and agenda. Approximately 30 minutes into the speech, a man rushed the stage from the guest section, armed with a Glock Handgun, and fired three shots at the President. The first shot hit Secret Service Agent Dan Miller, luckily striking his bullet resistant vest. The second shot grazed Agent Miller's leg, with the third shot hitting Ocasio Cortez in the left hand. RWJ was quickly apprehended, with the reason being RWJ was in the direct line of fire with other journalists. RWJ attempted to take his own life, but was quickly swarmed by the Secret Service. While he was being arrested, RWJ chanted Weiße Macht, which translates into "White Power." After the scene was resolved, and Ocasio-Cortez was cleared, she resumed her speech, with many attributing this to Teddy Roosevelt's famous 90 minute speech when he was shot. After giving the report of her agenda, and denying medical attention for 75 minutes, she agrees to receive medical treatment. Agent Miller ultimately dies from his injuries, with the cause of death being loss of blood by homicide. President Ocasio-Cortez orders all flags to half-mast, and that the agent be given a funeral of the highest honor for an agent.
 * Rebuilding and Consequences: The Congressmen who funded the assassin are quickly arrested, with many wondering why. The reason is quickly revealed, causing support for the GOP to drop substantially, and Ocasio-Cortez's approval rating to skyrocket from 43% to 65%, one of the largest jumps in approval rating of the past century. The 13 congressmen who were arrested vacate their seats, and are charged with Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Homicide, and Treason. RWJ is charged with Murder, Intent to Commit Murder, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Terrorism, and others. All 14 are sentenced to life in prison without parole, with RWJ being committed to the care of the Washington DC Psychiatric Hospital for a minimum of 30 years, with the possibility of release after 25 years. The Federal Government has the power to carry out executions anywhere in the United States, in the case of a federal crime. With RWJ and the Thirteen Killers, as many in the media are calling them, the federal government initially pushed the death penalty on the Thirteen Killers, after it was found they were competent enough to be charged. In a shocking decision, President Ocasio-Cortez pardoned the Thirteen Killers, and effectively saved them from the death penalty. They were still charged and sentenced to life in prison. When asked why, she said "If I can prevent a death, no matter how grave the crime, I will." During her Presidential Campaign, she vowed to end the Death Penalty in the United States, which is another reason for her decision. All vacated seats in Congress are quickly filled, unanimously being Democrat positions after potential outcry by citizens. Democrats effectively hold a monopoly in the Congress and the Presidency, with the Senate Dems now able to filibuster, and the House gaining a larger margin. Support for the democratic party, The President, and the American Socialist Movement increase once again, with the President hoping to act on this new approval rating.
 * Legislations and Changes: President Ocasio-Cortez, with a democratic majority in both senate and house, is able to sign various bills into law, which will be listed below:
 * American Transparency Act: The American Transparency Act, hereby referred to as the ATA, effectively reverse many provisions of the PATRIOT ACT, including wire-tapping and domestic spying from government officials. The ATA mandates "No agency within the United States, or territories of the United States, may wiretap, spy, listen to, read, or obtain electronic records without the consent of the citizen or non-citizen who legally and lawfully owns the records. This act also allows citizens to file a complaint and sue federal agencies that violate this act, with no restriction on amount requested." In a speech, President Ocasio-Cortez says, "This bill is intended to give Americans their fourth amendment right back, which was unfairly taken away in the name of anti-terrorism. We cannot become a 'big brother' government, that constantly watches over citizens for any wrongdoing. This is not intended to lessen punishment for terrorism or acts of such violence, but to give Americans their privacy back." The bill easily passes in the house, with heavy bipartisan support, and passes in the Senate with an 82-18 vote.
 * Greener America Act: Among various pieces of the Greener America ACT, one major component is the increased taxation on fossil fuel and coal companies. Taxes on companies with renewable energy go down 10%, while taxes on companies with fossil fuels go up 15%. This is seen by some Republicans as very extreme, as they say the economy will shrink if the bill passes. The bill ends up passing in the house, with voting split across party lines. The bill goes to the Senate, where it is passed with a 63-37 vote, with three pro-environment Republicans supporting the bill.
 * 53 States Act: After continuing support from major Democrats and citizens in Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam, the 53 States Act is passed. This bill stipulates that Guam, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico, will now be admitted to the Union. The bill gained major support from Puerto Rico, due to President Ocasio-Cortez's heritage, support from DC, due to past legislative attempts to become a state, and Guam, which the majority of citizens claimed a desire for statehood. This bill was supported only by democrats, as the Republican Party claimed this was an effort to expand democrat's influence. Nonetheless, the bill passes the house, and the Senate with a 60-40 vote.
 * Ending Federal Executions Act: The EFEA effectively ends all federal executions, making the United States one of the last democracies to end executions on the federal level. This change does not apply to states, as individual states have set their own laws in regards to the death penalty. President Ocasio-Cortez makes a speech encouraging states to do the same, saying "The death penalty is rarely seen in any Democracies today. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Spain, and Italy have all banned the Death Penalty, and we seem to be behind in that regard. I would encourage all legislatures to attempt to end this barbaric means of so called 'Justice'." The bill passes the house, and moves on to the Senate, where it is passed 61-39.
 * 21st Century Act: The 21st Century Act is designed to modernize the United States in many areas, in regards to changes worldwide and domestic. This is by far one of the most comprehensive bills signed in recent memory, and was a surprisingly bipartisan act on many accounts.
 * Healthcare and Medicine: The first area of the 21CA is healthcare. The Healthcare section of the Act introduces a federal universal healthcare system, named AmeriCare by many. According to many prominent US economists, this will boost the countries work production as well as allow many who could not afford healthcare work once again. The growth estimate is 2 trillion dollars in the next 5 years due to the massive increase in jobs and work. Various other healthcare aspects include an abortion law, which allow abortions in all states, with reasonable restrictions. With the advent of Roe v. Wade, states are usually able to mandate abortions to a certain degree, but this provision was created with a loophole. All abortion clinics have the ability and right to apply for a federal land grant, which would render them federal property, and under the United States jurisdiction, instead of the states. Seen as a bold move by many, Ocasio-Cortez responds, saying "We cannot continue to restrict women's right to choose what they would like to do with their own bodies. I will say this as well however, the man must also have rights under abortion law, to a reasonable extent. Vice President Yang made that a very good point, so this law includes protection for men as well. Abortions must have both the consent of both parents under the new law, and if needed, the guardianship and rights to the abortion can be argued in court. The time limitation used to be a factor, but it is there no more, so courts will now be able to decide." Another major provision of this bill is drug pricing, which allows the Federal Government to institute fines and mandates if companies are found to have violated or overpriced their drugs, in accordance with drug laws. The drug pricing provision also allows countries to import medications and medical supplies into the United States easier, and will add a list of approved countries to the FDA's database.
 * Technology: The technology section of the bill is crucial as well. Several incentives, funding projects, provisions, and options are added to this section of the bill. The Federal Government will allocate over the next five years 2 trillion dollars to be spent on various science and technology initiatives. Some of these areas of spending include Quantum research, AI research, 5G and 6G research and development, aerospace initiatives, and many others. Top economics experts across the country predict this will add a massive 7 trillion dollars to the economy over the period of 5 years. In what will be a defining quote in Ocasio-Cortez's Presidency, in response to a Republican Senator about the massive spending, she said "Your party was the one that threw 2 trillion down the drain with Afghanistan, and your going to sit here and complain about spending?" A video of the quote goes viral, with many Democrats praising her, and Republicans condemning her. Another major piece of technology legislation is to reduce the powers of the FCC, in regards to fines and censorship. The FCC provision essentially gives companies broader control over what they can and cannot do online, while also increasing the punishment for a violation. This is seen as a win-win among Democrats and Republicans, as it lessens government restriction on the Internet and other digital mediums, but also increases penalties in a way that many say will defer companies from practicing illegal or monopolistic standards.
 * Good Results: With the new bundle of legislation, support increases even further for the Democratic Party, as well as the current administration. The 21st Century Act passes the house easily, as well as the Senate, with a 72-28 vote. Many now see AOC as a highly balanced president, and willing to listen to both sides of the aisle.
 * Recap and Results of Socialist Pact: With the events of the socialist pact last year, all congress people involved were found guilty of treason, and during Joe Biden's term, were given the death penalty. Many questioned why Biden would not have pardoned their lives, with Democrats claiming a harsh punishment was not needed, and Republicans supporting Biden's decision not to pardon them. The executions happened earlier this year in January, during Biden's final 20 days in office. His approval rating as of the time he left office was 40%.
 * Reaction to the UK's threats: The American Public reacts to Britain's threat with hostility. Due to her past history as a non-violent and peaceful politician, hate for the United Kingdom reaches a level not seen since the Revolutionary War, with many protesting by burning the Union Jack flag. Almost the entire American public does not believe the United Kingdom, partly due to public pressure, and partly due to her past image and the steps taken to avoid war with Russia. President Ocasio-Cortez makes a statement from the PEOC, saying "This is an attack against our government, and our people, but we should not return the hostilities. The hostility should be directed towards the UK, and their despicable government, for allowing this right wing hate to spread in their country. They were complicit, which makes them our enemy. Do not do harm to the British, unless they wish harm upon you. God Bless the United States, and May God protect us." Despite her reassurances, many Americans looking to protect themselves in case of invasion buy firearms, causing a massive spike in firearms sales not seen since World War 2. Companies ramp up production, as well as the United States military institutes a voluntary buyback for a surplus of weapons.
 * British Lynchings: Many British in the United States are lynched by various groups of Americans. With the increase firearms sales, the preferred method of death is a "firing squad." Over the next few weeks, tens of thousands of British in the United States surrender after being overwhelmed by the American public. President Ocasio-Cortez and Vice President Yang both appear to make a statement from the PEOC, saying "Together we hope the American people can emerge victorious in this fight for freedom, and may god bless the heart and soul of this country, as we look towards hoping for better times."
 * Foreign Affairs:
 * Russian Affairs: In her first major foreign policy move, President Ocasio-Cortez makes a statement about the ongoing Russia-Ukrainian and Russia-Belarusian conflicts, claiming the United States wants to mediate a resolution between these three nations, and wants to have a free and fair dialogue with all countries. She claims there will be no bias involved against Russia, and would request Russia bring two of their allies to the meeting, in an attempt to even the playing field for both. She gives a televised speech to go with this, "The United States does not want war with Russia, in any form. We would simply offer to mediate a peace deal or form of resolution between all three nations involved. I want the dialogue to be fair to both parties, so I would invite and request Russia to bring two of their close allies to the meeting, if they accept. As I said during my campaign, this will not be a war filled nation, rather, it will be a peaceful one. Diplomacy needs to change, instead of using bombs, we should use peaceful means. I will also make President Putin an offer up front, we will withdraw all troops from the area, if the peace agreement can reach a positive outcome. Thank you, and God bless."
 * UTDS Comments: President Ocasio-Cortez calls the United Transnational Desert States "a great success" and hopes "this will end tensions in the Middle East and Arab world."
 * Meeting with China?: President Ocasio-Cortez calls for a meeting with Xi Jinping, to discuss a possible restructuring of diplomacy with the Chinese nation, as well as to attempt to amend relations, after the events of last year. Many are calling on AOC to take action against China, to which she responds "War against China will not solve the issue, it will only divide our nations further, and result in the deaths of millions. We would like to take a different approach to this situation, which is contrary to that of past presidents. My administration will seek diplomacy with China, as well as try to facilitate an agreement when it comes to our various issues and clashes. Previous administrations, such as the Trump and Biden administrations, handled the situation completely wrong. War and tension between the two of our nations is not the answer, peace and free trade are. We will of course ask China to hold themselves accountable, but we will not seek drastic measures in the case that they do not meet our standards or objectives. The pure truth of the matter is, we have a competitor on the world stage at which we have never see before, but that does not mean we should poke and prod at it. We should instead build better relations, for the both of our countries, and for the future of the world." This speech wins AOC even more support from both sides, and the speech is seen as very tactful and intelligent.
 * Papua New Guinea: President Ocasio-Cortez requests to meet with the new leaders of Papua New Guinea to establish diplomatic relations, and to see what their objectives are. [NPC/Mod Response]
 * Reassuring Allies: In light of many Republicans questioning the NATO alliance, and the usefulness of it, President Ocasio-Cortez reaffirms the United States is committed to it's allies worldwide. "We are not abandoning ship with our allies, and I want to make that very clear. We still stand with our allies in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, as well as Australia and other island nations. My strategy of diplomacy is simply to look towards a better future, one where our children can grow up without hate, fear, or apprehension of another race or ethnicity. We currently see this with Russia and Eastern Europe, China and the United States, Pakistan and India, and Israel and Palestine. We do not need for this to continue, as this is only serving to harm humanity as our entirety."
 * Peace Deal Signed: In her first major diplomatic success, President Ocasio-Cortez successfully helps negotiate a peace deal between Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. The terms of the peace deal are the United States will occupy the Western territory of the country, while the Russians will occupy the Eastern territory. The line separating the two is the Dnieper River, giving a high majority of the territory to the United States. The Russians have agreed to refinance the rebuilding of destroyed Ukrainian territories, while NATO would refinance other areas. These terms apply for five years, expiring in 2030.
 * An Anonymous Caller: [SECRET] An anonymous, unidentified person calls the direct line to both President Putin and President Jinping's offices, claiming to be somebody who can help them "achieve their goals, and make sure they are never oppressed again." The person says "Socialism is our future," as well. [SECRET]
 * New Military Research: With the United States declaring war, President Ocasio-Cortez signs a bill allowing the use of surplus funding, which is 573 billion, to be redirected into military spending. The In Times Of War Act allows the funding, as well as upgrades and modernizes the US military further. [SECRET] Projects include heavy research into sixth gen fighter jets, autonomous weaponry to decrease reliance on human operators, further advancement into cyberwarfare, using AI to determine the best military tactics, shielding electronics from hacking or a blackout, and many others. While the public spending shows 573 billion dollars, the real amount is 2.5 trillion over two years, which means for this year spending 1.25 trillion dollars. We would also start to research possible space based weaponry, starting simulations and projections of space based debris by possibly launching kill-sat's. We would look to expand the range of our surface to air missiles, to increase our ability to strike down any spy-sat's or other space weapons. We start to come up with a contingency to possibly render Europe a nuclear wasteland, based on the nuclear weapons we have stored there. We have looked towards the future, and are planning to speed up the development of possible antimatter weapons, although this remains inefficient and expensive for the time being. We begin to work on a possible EMP device, which would be capable of anything from jamming signals to crippling an energy grid for a country. We would also work on EMP missiles. Scientists working in various labs across the country create a virus capable of constant mutations to evolve traditional vaccination. This virus is codenamed WORLDEND1, and would continue to be improved upon. Lastly, we start to mass produce Unmanned Heavy Vehicles, ranging from tanks to what we call Suicide trucks, which are outfitted with bombing equipment that would detonate on our command [SECRET]
 * War/Conflict:
 * Terrorists Attack: During a routine flight from the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, a flyover from the airbase into United States Territory occurs. The jet, an F-15 EAGLE, which is marked as a friendly fighter on US Radar, starts a quick descent maneuver towards the Russian Embassy in Washington DC, where the F-15 fires a large impact missile into the building, killing 358 in or outside the building. The F-15 starts to fly higher, starts to descend once again heading towards the national mall, where the F-15 fires it's Vulcan cannon and it's last missile at visitors. The jet is then shot down, with the death toll at the national mall adding up to 3,512 dead. In total 3870 people are dead, with thousands injured or missing. This is the deadliest terrorist attack in US history by far.
 * Declaring War: President Cortez releases a statement condemning the attack, and blames the right-wing movement in Europe for the attack. "These terrorists will end up attacking their own allies in the name of their right-wing movement. We are disgusted by these acts from this historically hateful continent, and Congress has subsequently approved a declaration of war against the countries of the United Kingdom, Germany, as well as the EU countries, for allowing this right wing cancer to spread. Congress has approved this in a majority, and rest assured justice will be served." War is declared on the EU member states, as well as the UK.
 * Reasoning: [SECRET] This is all a ruse, giving the US an excuse to declare war on the EU. In line with what many have already predicted, the United States is becoming more aggressive, and allying itself heavily with Russia and China. This is all secret by the way. President Ocasio-Cortez and Vice President Yang, as well as pretty much all democrats in congress are in on this plan, for their own benefit. [SECRET]
 * Giving the Order: The United States Navy and Air Force start heading towards Europe, with lethal force authorized against the EU. Additionally, the 20,000 troops stationed in Ukraine start moving towards Kiev, with reinforcements coming to support them in the coming days. They are given authorization to kill anyone they come across.
 * Operation SaveTheStates: [SECRET] We would come up with Operation SaveTheStates. Operation STS would involve us launching 2000 of our fighter jets, hypersonic glide vehicles, missile defenses, and other preventative measures for nuclear weapons. We are drafting this in the possibility of nuclear weapons being used, as an effective defense. The error rate is 10%, and even then, we can likely predict the area of impact, or use lower altitude defenses. Through a "leak" this information would go to the Kremlin, where Russia would intercept this information. We use strict measures to prevent the leaked info going anywhere else, and to make sure it only goes to President Putin directly. The WorldEnd1 virus(which does not go to Russia) is fully initiated, allowing a second level of offensive power against the UK. The virus will be used as a last resort, as it is arguably more dangerous than a nuclear weapon. [SECRET]
 * Death toll rises: In Ukraine, the 20,000 US NATO troops quickly receive command to start massacring other NATO troops. Meanwhile, the air force is commanded to commence carpet bombings across Europe. [SECRET] Some of these bombs, about 25% of the payload, include the WORLDEND1 Virus, which should double the effective death toll. The virus kills based on many versions of contact. If you breath it, touch it, or are within five feet of it without PPE, you will die almost instantly. This is by far the most effective Bioterrorism weapon developed by the United States ever. We would also include our previously tested EMP missiles, to cripple the European Electric Grid, as well as various telecom and emergency services in the areas. Within hours of the bombings, tens of thousands are dead, with some death tolls by the Pentagon extending into the hundreds of thousands. Within a day, satellite images return to the Department of Defense receives satellite images showing bodies in the streets of various cities, everywhere from London to Istanbul. The United States DOD has also crippled the electrical grid in many cities as well. The Department of Defense believes the death toll to be over one million, but is very skeptical at the moment. The piles of dead people in the streets show the estimates in the hundreds of thousands to be likely correct. [SECRET] President Ocasio-Cortez makes a statement from the PEOC, claiming these bombings were done in retaliation, and does not reveal a death toll. She says it is likely hundreds dead, if she had to guess.
 * R&D Work: [SECRET] Many of the research projects undertaken have finished or developed greatly from the In Times Of War Act funds. As a result, we have developed the previously mentioned EMP missiles, WORLDEND1 virus, and Unmanned Vehicles. We deploy several unmanned suicide boats, to crash into and render the UK's navy dead. We start to ready submarines, to launch more missiles at the United Kingdom, if they provoke another attack. Lastly, we would start preparing our nukes, in the worst case scenario. We have also developed several more unmanned aerial vehicles to suicide bomb or bomb the United Kingdom in general. We start research into possibly smuggling nuclear weapons into Europe, or using a method of cyberwarfare, hacking their systems to detonate their nukes prematurely. The first seems more feasible, as we assume they are required to be activated manually, similar to our nukes here at home. [SECRET]
 * All Hell Breaks Loose: The United States launches it's nuclear bombs at all military and civilian locations in Europe, except for Russia. We also put forth Operation SaveTheStates, which is now in operation, ready to intercept the British nuclear weapons. If that was not enough, American spies across Europe start spreading WORLDEND1 Virus via human contact and suicide. We also utilize space based debris, deactivating several of our satellites above Europe, which should cause millions to die within the next day. As a result of these attacks, the death toll in Europe reaches [MOD RESPONSE]
 * Mod Response on WORLDEND1: An approximated 7.6 million people die from the virus, mostly in Ukraine, Germany, Romania and UK. A further 10.1 million civilians are hospitalised, with governments racing to find a cure. The numbers are lower than expected due to Europe's new vast bunker complexes, shielding up to 80% of people from the virus and space debris.
 * President Ocasio-Cortez makes a simple and clear statement, from a broadcast in the PEOC. "Europe and all member states of it shall surrender in five days from now, or we will rain more Hell upon Europe than has ever been seen before. The terrorist attacks on our country are not going unnoticed, and I believe they will be returned more than ten-fold. Millions more will die, if you continue on this path. We are giving an opportunity to any country that would like to fight with us, you will be in a great position in the future. This is a warning to our enemies, DO NOT think we will not come after you." In a public department of defense memo, the estimated death toll is shown to be nearing ten million, due to the chemical, artillery, and nuclear attacks. [MOD RESPONSE]
 * Mod Response: As Europe deliberates, an unexpected transmission from Japan comes through. The Prime Minister of Japan tells President Ocasio-Cortez, "The world will no longer stand by. You threaten to murder millions of people for no clear reason. You have already murdered 10 million, we will now no longer let you continue." A second transmission from Canada reads, "He means we're going to kill you, delusional idiot, until this tyranny you have created no longer remains. Say goodbye." Just a day later, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the UTDS, India, Iran, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, Switzerland, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, the PRH, Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Guatemala, Belize, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Morocco, Somalia, Tigray, Ethiopia, Fiji, Philippines, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, Qatar, Chile, Uruguay and Gabon all declare war against the USA, calling themselves 'Grand Coalition of Humanity', alongside Europe.

 *  Wars and Conflicts: 
 * We will publish war updates here, as well as any use of "Special Weapons" (i.e. Illegal weapons).
 * Russo-Ukranian War - Towards the end of January, with us also having to fight Belarus, we would begin to consider using more questionable weapons to end the war. The Dnipro River has became the frontier for us, with Kiev and Odessa taking a massive beating by our bombers. Artillery shells rain down on Kiev as well. The deaths are mounting on us, and increased pressure is made to end the war.
 * Russo-Belarusian War -The 6th Army makes a swift invasion through the Belarusian plains, and makes a spearhead straight towards Minsk.
 * World War III - We would (for now) maintain neutrality for World War III, but would begin to mass mobilize our troops, bringing in most of our healthy, single and young men to the military, preparing for total war if required. Tanks and artillery are also being produced at a much faster rate, with all units and nukes preparing to launch at a moment's notice.
 * [SECRET] Preparation for Operation Katyusha - With NATO losing the United States, who are now their enemy, we would officially draft up the full plan for the invasion of Europe, codenamed Operation Katyusha. The plan is divided into 5 major stages, and it is hoped that this plan will be able to knock out every last member of NATO. The plan is as follows:
 * Stage 1 - We would first make a full blown charge, blitzing ourselves into the Northern European plain, and push as far as the Vistula River within two weeks of the war's starting. We would anticipate a full blon defense by Poland here, and so we would shell the river banks to ensure that they end up dying. Up north, Finland would also needed to be taken at lightning speed, preferably in 3 weeks. We would also take over Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova at the meantime. This stage is expected to last 3-6 weeks.
 * Stage 2 - This can be carried out once we reached the Vistula River and finished off Finland. We would focus on the Vistula offensive, using bombs and shells to weaken the Polish defenses, before breaking into the Polish rear. Then, the main army splits into three: A northern front to take Hamburg; a Central Front to take Berlin; and a southern front to take Prague. Down south, We would also make a charge into Romania, with us hoping that Hungary surrenders once we finish off Romania. Then, we'll head further south and take Bulgaria as well. This is expected to be completed in 2 months.
 * Stage 3 - This will be activated once we have Berlin and Hamburg. The North and the Central Fronts will continue their offensive, with the Northern Front splitting into smaller groups to take Denmark and Norway, while the rest will take over the Netherlands. The Central Front is expected to rush the Rhine-Rhur area, while the southern front will take over Bavaria and reach the French border as well. Turkey and Greece would also be invaded as a result. If all goes to plan, we should have taken over northern Greece, Thrace and has lands all the way to the Rhine River. This is expected to be completed in 3 months. After this, we would hope that NATO surrenders, and we can end the war quickly.
 * Stage 4 - In this stage, we would cross the Rhine River to invade France and Belgium. The main target here is to take over the port cities of Calais and Cherbourg, while also taking over the French capital, Paris. This is expected to be tricky as France is a impenetrable fortress by now, and as we do not want to damage the pristine French culture, we are not allowed to use artillery or planes to bombard France. We would also capture the rest of Greece and Turkey during this time. This stage would take as long as 6 months or even up to a year by our calculations.
 * Stage 5 - This stage is basically trying to capture the rest of France before signing a peace deal with the remaining NATO members. We would not invade Italy or Iberia due to their position in the mountains, or Britain as they are an island, and our navy is no match for them. This is expected to be completed within 2 years of the war starting. If all goes to plan, we could knock out most NATO members winin the span of a year.
 * Putin has a look into these plans, and he agrees that now is the best time to invade NATO, and to take back what we once had. The date of the invasion is set for December 1st, 2025. [END SECRET]
 * [SECRET] Operation Rostov Preparation - To prepare for Operation Rostov, we would begin to arm every silo possible to launch all 500 nukes on Britain all at once. All of the missiles are on high alert as well, and evacuations of big cities have begun as well. [SECRET]
 *  RUSSIA INVADES NATO, WORLD WAR III HAS BEGUN  - With the mobilization complete, we would launch the order to execute Operation Katyusha. On November 30th, 2025, a Spetznaz regiment entered the town of Narva in Estonia, and assassinated the border guards at the Estonian border. That same night, the 6th Army of the Air Force takes off, and began to shell the cities of Tallinn and Riga in the middle of the night. At 0500 hours, the entire Russian Army is on the move, crossing the Dniper River, with tanks and infantrymen storming across Belarus and Ukraine, while airplanes begin to bomb Polish and Romanian Cities. Around the same time, airbourne troops landed in Helsinki, with the Murmansk division invading Finland from the south. World War III has begun.
 * December - Within the first four days of the conflict, the 6th Army, along with the 90th Guards Tank Army would storm through the Baltic States, with us reaching Tallinn on December 5th, and Riga by December 7th. The 20th Guards Army marches across the Ukranian plain, capturing most of the western bank of the Dniper River on December 2nd. They would then proceed to rush through most of Ukraine. The 1st Guards Tank Army meanwhile storms through Belarus, capturing Minsk with ease on December 6th. The 58th Army attacks through Crimea, and proceeded to rush southern Ukraine with ease, reaching the city of Odessa on December 9th. The 2nd Combined Guards Army, transported from Siberia, attacks through Finland, and would reach the city of Helsinki by December 15th. The 41st Army is also on the move, transported to Belarus to assist with the invasion of Poland. The 5th, 29th, 35th, 36th and 68th Army are all being transported from Eastern Russia to the frontlines.
 * Mod response needed for the battles of: Tallinn, Odessa, Riga, Helsinki and Minsk.
 *  Internal Affairs: 
 * Preparation for the Moon Mission - We would prepare for our mission to land at the moon, with it being scheduled for next year.
 * Victory Parade - With the peace deal signed, and with the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of WWII, we would host a massive parade, featuring all of the personnel fought to protect our soverignty against Ukraine.
 * Annexation of Luhansk and Crimea - After the end of the war, we would request the Donetsk rebels to join the Russian Federation. We would hope to annex the rebelling Luhansk province from Ukraine.
 * Research into farming - As global warming continues, we would begin to consider the possiblity of farming, and if it can provide us another source of income like natural gas. Wheat and corn are the two main priorities, with vertical farming also considered.
 * Clashes between pro-war and anti-war supporters - On April 5th, the day after the Treaty of Volgograd was signed, a massive clash between pro-war supporters, who wanted no peace deals and wanted too fully annex Ukraine and Belarus; and anti-war supporters, who wanted Russia to be in constant peace, occured in Moscow. Over 100 people were arrested, and 3 people were killed as a result of these clashes.
 * Navalny Released from Prison - After being added another year for alleged "Tax Fraud", opposition leader Alexei Navalny was released from prison. During his time in prison, his team has made more and more videos of Corruption in Russia, which indirectly is contributing to the social tensions in Russia in the mid-2020's. [SECRET] We would obiviously be now finding new reasons to put him back in prison again, before he starts another massive protest wave across Russia. [SECRET]
 * [SECRET] Annexation of Eastern Ukraine [SECRET] - Despite the fact that 2030 is a long time away, we would already begin to draft up a 5-year plan to annex the entirety of Eastern Ukraine, all the way onto the Dniper River. This would include propaganda, cultural assmilation and passively make our country look better.
 * Cities evacuated - With the start of World War III, we would begin the evacuation of major cities, as well as preparing nuclear shelters across Russia. Putin and the cabinet have already left Moscow for the Ural Mountains.
 * Navalny Leaks Operation Rostov - It turns out one of our generals is a support of our mortal enemy Alexei Navalny. On December 21st, 4 days before Operation Rostov would be launched, Navalny's team published a video called "Putin's Plan to Destroy Russia", which reveals the full details, documents and plans of Operation Rostov. In it, he claims that Putin is attempting to destroy Russia by launching this "absurd plan", which will include launching 500 Nukes on the United Kingdom, commiting genocide on the British populace. He then went on to state that the UK has enough nukes to murder at least 100 Million Russians, and urge the citizens of Russia to rise up against Putin, and stop the operation from going ahead. He also claimed that Russia is collaborating with the "evil" United States, and called for a boycott of American brand deals. The video earned over 10 Million views in one day.
 * The #StopRostov Riots - The video worked very well. Literally less than 3 hours after the video was uploaded, massive crowds began to riot, demanding Putin and the cabinet to resign as President of Russia. They chanted "Putin is the Murderer" and "Stop Rostov", and some called to end the Russian invasion of Europe. The riots spread across Russia, and by the end of December 22nd, the cities of St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Rostov-on-Don, Tula, Smolensk etc. all have massive protests, calling Putin a traitor to the Russian nation. Twitter exploded with the hashtag #StopRostov as well.
 * Attempted Assassination of Yulia Navalnya - On December 23rd, Navalny's wife Yulia was at Smolenskaya Station with her son Zahkar at around 1800 hours. Suddenly, a man shot Yulia in the back three times, seriously injuring her. In the panic, another man was able to kidnap her son Zakhar. [ORIGINALLY SECRET, NOW NO LONGER] It turns out the two men are FSB agents, attempting to prevent a coup from Navalny for just long enough to carry out Operation Rostov.
 *  BREAKING: SECOND RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OCCURS -  Despite his wife being in critical condition and his son kidnapped, Alexei Navalny is not deterred at all. In fact, it tells the public that Putin is hell bent on carrying out Operation Rostov. On December 24th, Navalny and his followers marched on the streets of Moscow, with policemen and soldiers all joining them as well. Then, at around 1300 hours, Navalny's men stormed the Kremlin, overpowering the guards, before capturing both Vladimir Putin and Mikhail Mitshukin. The two were then cornered onto a wall, with Navalny being handed a MP-443 Grach. Before shooting Putin, he personally said to Putin: "Your tyranny is over. Russia will live on." before firing the gun twice, murdering him. Mitshukin survives, but is captured by the rebels. That same day, all the provinces United Russia has suffered similar rebellions, with the Armed Forces suffering a mutiny, resulting in the generals being overthrown, some even shot, all to prevent Operation Rostov from happening. Troops on the frontline were confused at first, but they soon realized that with Navalny in charge, they can finally go home, and can see their families again. By the end of the day, Russia is under a new regime.
 * Arrest of Dimitry Medvedev - One of Navalny's first acts as the temporary president of Russia is to arrest long-time Putin ally Dimitry Medvedev. At around 1900 hours, literally hours after shooting Putin, Navalny ordered the arrest of Medvedev on corruption charges. His rebels stormed Medvedev's apartment, and arrested him on charges of corruption and embezzlement. When he was told that he is under arrest, Medvedev, who didn't even realize that the coup occured, asked the police: "What are you guys doing!? I'm the Chairman of the Security Council, you cannot arrest me!" His wife was then forced to open the television, revealing to Medvedev about the coup.
 * Eurphoria of Russian Peace - When the news of the peace treaty was signed on December 26th, every citizen celebrated on the streets, kissing and hugging each other, with them proud that their country might have singlehandedly saved the world. Even if they haven't, they have saved their country from total demolition. The Russian song "Wide Is My Motherland" is sang across all of Russia throughout the night to celebrate the preservation of the Russian nature.
 * Yulia Regains Conciousness - On December 29th, five days after the Russian coup, the-now First Lady Yulia Navalnya woke back up at a hospital in Moscow. She was confused when people were talking about Putin's death and Navalny taking power, but when her husband showed up, the two shared their moment together, where Navalny told his wife how he managed to save the entire world from MAD, and that he is now the temporary President of Russia.
 * Zakhar Navalny found - That same day, the two FSB agents who attempted to murder Navalnya and kidnapped Zakhar Navalny were arrested, and Navalny's son was found alive and well.
 * End of the Year Address - On December 31st, 2025, Navalny made a broadcast on RT, now a free and independent news company, where he states that this year will be remembered as the year where everything changed, and how the world was saved from a nuclear war. In it, he express his intention to completely transform Russia to a democratic and equal society, and announced that RT will be rebranded as RMT (Russian International Broadcasting Company) on April 1st, 2026. He also announced that all of the media outlets will be given a restart, and the Media Reform Bill is currently under draft. Navalny also confirmed that the presidental election will be coming on June 15th, 2026, and that the government itself is going to go under a massive change, with the new Parliament Bill. Full details of Navalny's reforms will be written on the next turn.


 *  International Affairs (Diplomacy): 
 * Peace deal on the horizon? - On March 1st, 2025, the Russian Federation proposes a peace deal between us, Belarus and Ukraine This peace deal is made thanks to the diplomatic efforts of the United States of America, and it reads as follows:
 * 1. NATO will occupy the Western Bank of the Dniper River, while Russia will occupy the Eastern Bank of the Dniper River.
 * 2. Kiev and Dnipro, which straddles across both sides of the river, will be divided in the same way as well. All islands in the river will be split along the centerline of the river as it was at the time of this treaty's signature.
 * 3. Both NATO and Russia will help and assist the reconstruction of Ukraine.
 * 4. Both NATO and Russia would withdraw from Belarus. This is expected to be completed by July 1st, 2025.
 * 5. The occupation of Ukraine would last until 2030 at its latest.
 * A mod response is needed for both Belarus and Ukraine to confirm the signing of the treaty. If accepted, the treaty will be signed on April 4th, 2025.
 * Mod Response: Belarus and Ukraine both sign the treaty.
 *  OFFICIAL - PEACE DEAL SIGNED BETWEEN UKRAINE, BELARUS AND RUSSIA -  It is a glorious day for the Russian Federation, as we have laid our hands on the Treaty of Volgograd to end the Russo-Ukranian War and the Russo-Belarusian War on April 4th, 2025. We would occupy all of Eastern Ukraine, all the way onto the eastern bank of the Dniper River. NATO and us will both pull out of Belarus, but we would retain our economic support of the Belarusian regime, in order to ensure a buffer state between NATO and us.
 * Russian Invasion of Belarus - With Poland invading Belarus from the west, we could not allow our buffer state from those pesky Americans to fall. As a result, we would attack Belarus on January 11th, with the 6th Army diverted from Ukraine to attack Belarus along the front. We do not want a war against NATO, and as a result, we would not commit any aerial bombings or artillery attacks on the Belarusian Front.
 * Demands to end the expedition - We would demand all nations to end their interference of the Russo-Ukranian War, otherwise we would cut their gas supply off, as well as ban all of their airlines to use our airspace.
 * Economic Support for Belarus - We would provide economic and arms support for the Belarusian government, and hope that Lukashenko's government can crush the protesters to maintain their status quo. [SECRET] We would also prepare for the worst, and in the case of the rebels winning or Lukashenko being killed, we would invade Belarus via a masisve airdrop into their cities. This will be done within 12 hours of the rebels winning if required. However, we would attempt to intensify our support for the Belarusian government before going to this step. [SECRET]
 * Response to the attack on the Russian Embassy - We would condemn the United Kingdom and Germany in the strongest manner, and as a retaliation, we would cut Germany and Britain's gas supply off, as well as deny their airlines from using our airspace until they apologize. We would not declare war on them. Yet.
 * Flag of UK.png British Diplomacy: The British government barely pays any mind to the ridiculous Russian assumptions that the British were somehow involved in a terrorist attack, and brushes off its oil and gas threats by simply ramping up oil and gas harvesting in the North Sea. Furthermore, the British government warns against any Russian involvement in the ongoing war with America or any other conflict with Europe lest severe consequences be felt by Russia.
 * Russian Response - We would warn any use of nuclear weapons, and would warn Britain that if nuclear weapons are launched, we would launch our nuclear weapons as well.
 * Response to American Declaration of War - We are stunned by America's betrayal of allies, but would decide to not help either side in the conflict to come. [SECRET] At the meantime, our army is plotting a massive invasion into Europe, and reclaim what is rightfully ours. We would also consider invading the Caucasus as well. [END SECRET].
 * [SECRET] Total Nuclear War? - With Britain threatening to nuke America, an emergency meeting is carried out at the Kremlin, discussing if Russia should launch their nukes or not. If so, we would consider nuking the UK, as attempting to nuke the United States will end up destroying the world. The plan is called "Operation Rostov", the plan to nuke Britain to pieces. The plan is approved.
 * [SECRET] Full details of the plan - The plan is to launch a whopping 500 nukes onto Britain, and land it on 400 of the biggest cities in the UK. To ensure that Britain cannot retalliate, we would also nuke all of their airbases and ports, as well as any military camps. We would ensure that every city and town across the UK will be destroyed equally, to completely destroy the UK. In order to carry out the first strike, we would begin to prepare all 500 nukes in secret, and arming ourselves with anti-missile defense systems. The date for Operation Rostov is set for December 25th, Christmas Day. [ACTUAL OPERATION WILL BE WRITTEN IN A FEW HOURS] [END SECRET]
 * Attempts to end World War III - Right after ordering the arrest of Dimitry Medvedev, Navalny got to work to stop World War III. He first ordered all divisions to halt their advances first, before ringing up British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, telling him that he wants to sue for peace. The army is now currently being withdrawn from Poland and Finland.
 * Launch of ABMs - After hearing the news of America launching nukes on Europe, and the UK launching their nukes in retalliation, we would launch every single one of our ABMs in an attempt to save Europe from total destruction. This is done via using the A-135 Anti-Ballistic Missiles. [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED ON HOW MANY WE WERE ABLE TO DESTROY]
 * [SECRET] WMD needed? [SECRET] - Despite all our efforts, America is still as violent as ever. And so, Navalny made a meeting overnight to discuss if a WMD is needed to end AOC's tyranny, and to stop the war. We would consider a biological weapon, and it could be launched in less than an hour as we already have it armed.

Considering the arrestment of the congress, Macron also states that "President Ocasio-Cortes is trying to overthrow the government, and enslaving the country under her absolute rule, and that if you dear Americans who want "rule by the people" and had stood for it for centuries, should remove her from office before she establishes a totalitarian or a socialist government; we encourage you, dear American, to take arms against Ocasio-Cortez who would be more than happy to rob you of a voice in the government and burn the Bill of Rights, for a Democratic America!

Events
'''To say that 2025 was an eventful year is a severe understatement. Armageddon almost happened, but due to Navalny's last minute coup, Operation Rostov was prevented and the world was saved as Russian ABMs shot down most nuclear missiles which would have destroyed Europe. With Russia no longer a threat, European armies, alongside the Grand Coalition of Humanity, march to the USA.

'''Amphibious and aerial invasions commence all around the USA. A rebellion led by the states of California and Texas begins, with 10 more states rebelling. They are branded the Rebel12 (Texas, California, Nevada, Washington, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois and Guam) and immortalised by European media. With the west coast largely overrun, with further invasions from Canada and Mexico, things turn against the USA.

'''The Grand Coalition of Humanity sign The Endgame Act: US generals and government officials become international criminals, a total naval blockade of any trade around the entire of the USA, and the banning of any civilians from leaving and entering the country. US spies can be charged without trial due to their involvement in spreading the bioweapon.

'''The entirety of Europe goes under lockdown to contain the virus. 7.8 million people died due to the virus, with a further 10.8 hospitalisation. Ukraine 'has become a desolate wasteland, with no one in it' quoted by a German soldier describing the aftermath of clashes with Russia and USA.

'''President Ocasio-Cortez, while hiding in the PEOC, receives a transmission from an unknown sender. It reads, "You can not hide forever."

 * Virus: WORLDEND1 has killed hundreds of thousands of Britons, with the streets of Birmingham and London littered with dead bodies. The population has been ordered into a strict lockdown to contain the virus. People are not allowed to leave their homes, food rations are delivered by members of the newly formed Home Guard Militia, a volunteer paramilitary militia temporarily formed to aid the government and military in coordinating disaster and wartime efforts. Meanwhile, bioweapon-grade biocontainment suits are manufactured en masse and distributed to soldiers, medical personnel and other high priority personnel, while lower pandemic-grade personal protective equipment (PPE) are mass produced and distributed to the Home Guard, police, fire fighters, etc. Work on developing a vaccine or cure is made the number two priority (after containment of the virus, which is number one) of the nation's medical community, with public and private researchers instructed to drop (almost) everything and focus on these goals [Mod Response].
 * Mod Response: The mass containment is succesful. Cases of WORLDEND1 dropped dramatically, although some cities continue to record high cases. The research of a vaccine is currently at Stage 2, and could be completed as quickly as the numerous COVID-19 vaccines.


 * War With America:


 * American Allies: Noting the emergence of a home-grown American rebellion against their government, orders are issued to cooperate and coordinate with the troops (presumably National Guard and defecting US Military troops, as well as ordinary Americans exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights) of these rebellions. Additionally, great care is made to ensure that no war crimes are committed against America to ensure that post-war reconciliation is probable. Munitions and vehicles are sent to West Coast rebels in California and Washington, as well as East Coast rebels in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and the Carolinas.


 * Michigan Offensive: With the cooperation of Canada, troops already stationed in Canada move to take Michigan and ask Wisconsin for help in this offensive [Mod Response on Wisconsin help and success of the operation].

 * New England Offensive: [Secret] Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands more troops mass on the Canadian border with New England and the Royal Navy prepares to blockade New England in preparation for a late March pincer movement to cut off New England from the rest of America by launching a main offensive from the Niagara Falls heading towards New York City. French cooperation, particularly naval support is requested for this operation, dubbed Operation Old Meets New It is hoped that with the successful capture of New England, most of the East Coast and West Coast will be under the control of rebels or the Coalition. [Player Response] [/Secret]

 * A Plan to end AOC - [SECRET] As the war develops, the threat of total destruction of humanity has never been higher. While the citizens are enjoying their lives to the fullest, Navalny is working hard day and night to try and finish off the tyrannical AOC. On January 1st, the closest members of the Russian Military and the Russian politicans all gather around to discuss what can be done to end the war before the world inevitably ends. The scale of this meeting was so important, that even Mikhail Mitshukin and Dimitry Medvedev, whom were both arrested during the coup, were present at the meeting to come up with ideas. After a whole day of discussions, these are the plans to attempt to end
 * AOC and in turn, the United States.
 * Navalny's Plan: Operation Rostov II - Alexei Navalny himself has a somewhat insane and bloody plan to end AOC: To nuke Washington D.C. 20 times. His idea is that on January 4th at 2am EST, 20 nuclear missiles will be fired at 3-minute intervals, all landing very close to the White House. The idea is to punch a massive crater deep enough that it will eventually blow the bunker up, killing the entire cabinet of AOC. This idea could kill up to 600,000 innocent residents of Washington D.C., but Navalny insists that 600,000 is far less than the billions that could die as a result of a rogue America. [SECRET]
 * Gerasimov's Plan: Operation Smert - Valery Gerasimov is the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Military, and as a result, he is used to coming up strategies. Gerasimov's plan is codenamed Operation Smert, Smert meaning Death in Russian. His plan was to spray the virus WORLDEND1 onto Washington D.C. and all the roads leading to the city. The biological warfare, he said, would be justified as the United States had already unleashed hell on Europe. However, only the Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu agreed with him on what he said. The others massively objected to the plan, worried that if they managed to even obtain the virus, it could start a massive pandemic in Russia as well.
 * Shoygu's plan: Operation Kalinka - Sergey Shoygu is the Minister of Defense for Russia, and he has another pretty insane plan to deal with AOC - Directly invade the United States from Delaware. The plan was to capture an airfield, and use airbourne troops to attack Washington D.C. This plan looks sensible at first, as it is the most bloodless option. However, there is one massive issue: Russia's navy is too small to carry out an invasion like this. To compensate for this, Shoygu suggests that they should use the British Navy as well to help the invasion. This is a plan that is actually considered, however the problem with this is that it could be too slow to take out AOC.
 * Mitshukin's Plan: Operation Judas - Mitshukin himself also managed to come up with a plan: Operation Judas. This plan includes contacting one of the ministers that see AOC regularly, and have them assassinate AOC in the bunker. This would be bloodless...if it wasn't for the fact that it could end up alerting AOC, and turn Russia into a wasteland as well. This plan wasn't very popular in the meeting, but it is still considered. [SECRET]
 * [SECRET] Meeting Conclusion - On the morning of January 2nd, Navalny contacted Gerasimov, and told him this: "Carry out Operation Rostov II." The nukes are now prepared to be launched on January 4th, 2026, in an attempt to save the planet from total destruction. The reason for choosing 20 Nuclear Missiles to land at Washington D.C. is because the missiles from Operation Rostov has not been removed from the silo yet, so the military only needed to code the missiles to land at Washington instead of Britain to launch the operation. [SECRET]
 *  OPERATION ROSTOV II ACTIVATED -  On January 4th, 2026, at 9am in the morning, General Gerasimov and his men finished the preparations of 20 nukes at different silos. Then, he says the words: "ROSTOV", and the first of the 20 missiles takes off. Destination: Washington D.C. Then, at 9:03 am, the second nuke launches on time. Then the third launches at 9:06 am, the fourth at 9:09, and so on until all 20 nuclear missiles are launched from their silos. They are all scripted to land very close to the White House and the Capitol. Our remaining ABMs are on very high alert, in case if America retalliates. [MOD RESPONSE NEEDED TO SEE IF WE MANAGED TO HIT WASHINGTON D.C. 20 TIMES AND IF AOC WAS KILLED]
 * Mod Response: Due to the copious amount of missile defences around DC, only two nukes land on DC. Although the Capitol building is completely levelled and much of DC destroyed, President Ocasio-Cortez remains alive in the PEOC. but is effectively trapped by irradiated wasteland.
 * World War III - We would prepare for an airbourne assault into Alaska sometime in February. The plan is to airdrop ourselves onto the towns of Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau and Nome, before taking out the resistance there. We would also supply Britain and the colliation with weapons, supplies and other stuff. The 6th and 20th Army are arriving in Canada to prepare for the New England offensive.
 * [SECRET] Operation Rostov III? - With the failure of Operation Rostov II, we would considering launching up to 50 nukes on Washington, in an effort to fully destroy Washington D.C., and kill AOC once and for all. However, even Navalny's own wife objected to this, as she is worried that America will definitely retalliate and blow all of Russia's cities to pieces. [SECRET]
 * Operation Snezhny - Invasion of Alaska: On February 5th, 100,000 paratroopers dropped themselves from Russian transport planes, and landed in Alaska. They seized a road junction at Fairbanks, while capturing the towns of Nome, and the outskirts of Anchorage.


 *  Internal Affairs: 
 * Anti WORLDEND1 Plan - On January 3rd, the day before Operation Rostov II came into plan, Navalny issued the WORLDEND1 Plan - The plan to prevent WORLDEND1 from spreading into Russia. So far, we do not have any confirmed cases of the Virus. However, Navalny issued a bunch of emergency acts, including to shut off their borders completely, and evactuate everyone within 10 kilometers of our borders. We have assembled the Public Health Division, a detachment of the Russian Army to assist with the prevention of WORLDEND1. Here's what Navalny said:  "WORLDEND1 is a very serious and deadly virus. Although we do not have any confirmed cases yet, we are bordering Europe, which is very dangerous for us. As a result, anyone who has the virus will be shot on the spot of the testing site, and their bodies will be wrapped up in a bag and burnt by an incinerator. Any close contacts will immediately be isolated, and mass test-and-trace will be applied. If one city has over 10 WORLDEND1 cases, we would cut all transport links to and from that city. In addition, we would close our borders, and no flights or even boats will be allowed into our ports." 
 * An Enraged Navalny - After the failure of Operation Rostov II (As only two nukes ended up hitting Washington D.C.), Navalny had a huge rant about how screwed they are now, with AOC still alive, even though she is trapped in the bunker. He is seen swearing and complaining to his daughter Daria at a restuarant in Moscow on the evening when the news was broke to him.
 * Video Gone Viral - Navalny's rant about how terrible the American regime is and his anger of having his plan fail was captured on camera by other customers of the restaurant. The video went out onto YouTube as "Our president rants at restaurant", and it gained 20 Million views just in Russia within one day. This would have been maliciously defaming the president, however Navalny decided that the publisher did not mean it to be malicious, and so vetoed their arrest.
 * Mass Reforms - As promised, Alexei Navalny made many major changes to the structure of Russia. Everything has to be De-Putinized, in a process called De-Putinization. He has many bills to sign over the course of the next few months, the first being the Media Reform Act.
 * Media Reform Act - The Media has been, for a very long time, been under constant survillence by Putin's regime. Russia's international channel, RT, is nothing more than a propaganda show for Putin, as Navalny said. And so, he set out to full reform the media part of the Russian Federation. First of all, RT has been reformed into RMT (Russian International Broadcasting Company), and it will be free and allowed to broadcast whatever they wish. Next, all media have recieved a starting bill depending on their size, and the ones that was previously owned by the government are set free. Censorship has been practically abolished, although citizens are forbidden to seriously defame (with a malicious intent) or threaten the President. The bill was signed on March 31st, and it came into action on April 1st. That day, all television companies joked about all of the potential loopholes this bill could have, and some even thought this bill was fake due to it being enacted on April Fools Day. However, Navalny made a statement saying that the bill is 100% legitimate and real, and is a promise he promised to deliver to the Russian people.
 * Childcare Act - Russia's population has been steadily dropping since the 2000's, and it isn't slowing down. While it isn't dropping too massively, it is getting more and more serious by the day. And so, Navalny issued the Childcare act, having greater incentives to make people have children. This included benefits, housing, free childcare, and more, all to entie people to have children. Time will tell if this works though.
 * Parliamentary Act - The next reform Navalny made is the Parliamentary Act. Over the past 25 years, United Russia had near total control over the State Duma, which caused Putin to become a literal tsar. Navalny himself is adament that Putin is literally "a Russian Tsar, and behaves like so". And so, he set out to ensure this never happens again. United Russia is split into two new parties: The now-conservative United Russia, and the The Russian National Party, splitting off from the nationalist party of United Russia. Next, Navalny wrote that each party can only control up to 50% -1 of the seats, as he is worried that a majority of the seats will ruin the emocracy in Russia. In addition, the role of the Prime Minister will be abolished, and term limits has been reduced to 2 4-year terms. THis bill was signed on May 8th, and came into effect on June 2nd.


 *  International Affairs (Diplomacy): 
 * The Great European Airlift - Despite closing themselves off from the rest of the world, the Russians still wanted to help Europe to combat WORLDEND1. As a result, the 14th and 11th Air Force Army decided to do what the Americans did 80 years ago - to airdrop supplies into Europe. Thanks to the help of air refuelling, we are able to airdrop massive supplies of fresh water bottles from our streams, masks, PPE, canned food etc. into Europe, as far south as Spain and as far west as the UK.
 * WORLDEND1 Vaccination Research - We would request the UK to let us help them to develop a vaccine for WORLDEND1. The scientists who will be working on this project will not be allowed to return to Russia until the end of the pandemic.
 * Chinese Condemnation Reaction - We would justify our decision to drop 20 nukes on Washington D.C. by saying that we are attempting to finish off AOC, and save the world from MAD as a result.

 The People's Republic of China  Immediately the Chinese armed forces are put on highest alert, and the People's Liberation Army Navy and the People's Liberation Army Air Force begin patrolling the South and East China Seas and the Sea of Japan for American vessels and aircraft. We will be utilising our territory in the South China Sea to project air power in that region. [Secret] We are now looking to try and attack America through cyberspace, to take down America's ability to communicate effectively. Our attacks will impact both the American military and the civilian government services [End Secret]. We also wish to help take the fight to America, pledging 10 divisions along with fighter jets and close air support to support California and Washington in their rebellion. 3 divisions will be sent to Washington and 7 to California, with their first objective being an invasion of Oregon dubbed "Cāozuò yādǎo xìng kǒngjù" or "Operation overwhelming fear". This will be an invasion from the north and south and, if successful, will cut off America from the Pacific [Mod Response]. [Secret] We would also like to work with the Canadian government to use airborne soldiers paradropped across western America at known locations of American missile silos to disable their ability to use their remaining nuclear weapons [End Secret/Mod Response]. Mod Response: Canada accepts. Following the success of Operation overwhelming fear, the 10 divisions we currently have in America are supplemented by an additional 5, and prepare for an invasion of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, hoping to overwhelm the US forces in these states quickly and connect the west coast to Texas. We also hope to be able to contact resistance groups in these states to help with the offensive and occupation [Mod Response].

 *  Wars and Conflicts: 
 * World War III: So far China has remained neutral in the conflict known as World War III. On the 5th of January President Xi makes a speech to the National People's Congress (NPC) where he denounces the "wicked regime of President Ocasio-Cortez and the evil, imperialistic war she has begun." Following this, the NPC votes for China to officially join the Grand Coalition of Humanity and declare war on the USA.
 * Operation Overwhelming Fear Results: Oregon is quickly secured by the allied troops, falling in just 3 weeks. Neighbouring Idaho surrenders.
 * Myanmar Civil War: With America having shown itself to no longer be a reliable member of the international community, we no longer feel bound by the current agreement we have with America regarding the Myanmar Civil War. In addition, China feels it is imperative that no government loyal to the American government be permitted to exist. As such, 150,000 Chinese troops cross into Myanmar, with overwhelming air support and led by Wang Jianwu. Their goal will be to defeat the NUG and crush any remaining support they have in Myanmar. Alternatively we offer the NUG an opportunity to surrender to the Tatmadaw and end this conflict once and for all [Mod Response].
 * Mod Response: With the NUG pushed back, the NUG asks for a peace conference to determine an end to the war rather than continuing to fight in the bloody war.

 *  International Affairs: 
 * Russia: China congratulates Alexi Navalny for overthrowing the Putin regime and preventing Operation Rostov. We look forward to working with the Navalny government. However we strongly condemn the Navalny government's decision to use nuclear weapons against the USA. We wish to remind Russia that the use of these barbaric devices is what began this war against America in the first place.
 * Grand Coalition of Humanity: China calls for an amendment to the Endgame Act that would allow for generals and government officials that work to subvert the government of Ocasio-Cortez to be granted pardons [Mod Response].
 * Mod Response: The Grand Coalition of Humanity vote on the amendment, which passes.
 * Panama: We request that Panama's government close the Panama Canal to American shipping [Mod Response].
 * Mod Response: Panama accepts.
 * Ukraine: We set up a base on the Dnieper river just south of Kiev to study the WORLDEND1 virus. This will consist of a group of around 70 individuals with a roughly even split between researchers and military personnel, and will maintain a strict quarantine policy with the outside world and samples/subjects being studied. We also propose an agreement to share information between us, the UK and Russia regarding the virus [Player Response].

A Happy Ending?
'''We did it. We saved the world. Humanity made it through the chaos of the 2020s. Old governments fell, new ones rose. AOC was declared a traitor to humanity and executed. Navalny was elected President of Russia. A new UN was formed, one which promised to be a defender of peace.

'''But could it last forever? Ideology and delusion stands in humanity's in way. The old evils were returning.

'''And one evil we never expected coming. One we thought was dead.

Wrath.
