Alright Update time! The SNE is now upping their navy even more! They are preparing to create a Admiral Class Battle Cruiser (Named the Tomohawk: Made up Name because Y not). This ship is a big ship with 72,101 tons of displacement. It is suited with 8-18' guns and 4 2 guns turrets along with a max speed of 32 knots. This is a fast and reasonably cheap ship, So 9 are expected to be done in the next 2 years. Along side the creation of the new battleship, the SNE is focusing on Air Craft Carriers too! The HMS Illustrious, this ship is in its own class of illustrious air craft carriers. It is 740 ft long, with a max speed of 30.5 knots. It is suited with thick armour and 8 QF 4.5' dual purpose twin guns, and 6 QF anti air guns. It can house a max of 43 ships. This is relatively expensive so around 5 are expected in the next 2 years. Border security is being upped around Germany and France to protect these countries surrounded by potential enemies. Immigration is being restriction and background checks are required for every immigrant.
The Federation has created the Royal Protection Cruiser Displacement 60,583 has 6 18 inch guns and is made of very high quality steel also has 3 torpedoe tubes to allow for maximum protection The Federation is making 15 of these to protect our exports 5 every 2 years
He made one post and left. Yosh did try to get Trump to destroy the world as a joke, but he was just quitting lmao
You have neither the shipbuilding experience, industrial capacity, nor the shipyards to build that many ships. 4-5. You also don't have 18-inch guns.
A alright got it B pretty sure i do believe i started research on them a while ago just never stated that it was finished
The Caliphate invests in computer technologies, creating computers capable of fast calculations and advanced mathematics. Sunayyad Caliphate cities are for the most part, well developed for their location, streets are strictly kept clean by the community, gardens, parks and trees are added to keep an adequate amount of greenery, sewage and plumbing systems are advanced, some major cities are developing underground subways and transit cars. Housing is spacious and clean, many homes are decorated inside and out, and are specifically designed to be warm during winters and cool during summers, the Caliphate has perfected this obviously. Due to above ground fresh water supplies being quite low due to the climate, Caliphate regional governors drill dozens of wells to gather water from underground aquifers, they are very good at this. It would be a lie to say there aren't bad conditions, obviously. Most major cities do have a slum section, like every city on earth (except for New Babylon). Poor people live in cramped conditions in connected apartments, streets are full of people, vendors, animals and animal feces, and the water supply is low. This is a small percent of the entire country though, large cities like Cairo and Baghdad are fighting these situations, but to say it is awful wouldn't be correct, people can get by in city life, people aren't living in rubble homes and attacked by rat infestations. Disease is well controlled, Penicillin is introduced to the military and hospitals and medical centres dot every settlement, Muslim doctors are skilled in medicine, and due to Musawaism, health care is free. Rural communities vary, some cities can be between populations of 80,000 to 10,000 and are still considered rural because they are not connected to major urban areas. Those outskirted settlements are rapidly being introduced to roadways and connections to main cities. Those communities are also flourishing, although yes some villages suffer from malnutrition, short water supply and disease, but you must be a God in your own right to rid your entire civilization of it. Overall, municipalities are improving rapidly, especially in larger cities from populations of 30,000 and up. Industrialization is huge, many products are being produced, but that comes to a cost of some poor working conditions which are slowly being reversed. The Caliph will come out with a Bill to appeal rough working conditions, but child labour and slavery doesn't exist at all. This would be an average city in the Sunayyad Caliphate: An old trading town on the outskirts of cities. These are usually mudbrick cities, living conditions aren't as bad as you would expect, but a lot of these cities are becoming like the ones above ^ This is definitely an unfortunate reality V If you could rate living conditions out of 10, it would be as follows Major Cities: 8 Smaller Cities: 7 Rural Settlements: 7 Poor very rural towns: 4 Transportation and the National railway which will be finished in a few years has drastically improved conditions in the Middle East. The Middle East will no doubt become a metropolitan powerhouse and a tourism hotspot in 50 years. The oil industry is literally creating the Emirates nations into mini-empires.
SEU living conditions: Major cities: 9 Minor cities: 8 Rural settlements: 5 People in the Middle of Siberia: 0 SEU cities are like NYC, impressive, big, and with ups and downs. The only difference is a smaller inquality curve, directly due to the Socialist Policies of the SEU.
Federation living conditions: Major Cities:8 Minor Cities:7.5 Rural Towns:6 Worst city in The Federation:2 the Federation prides themselves on keeping the people clean and happy no matter where they live
SEU is stationing the Yi Sun-Shin near Guinea Naval Base. Myeongyang is going in for Gunnery Training, and SEU Battleships are recieving training to aim right. In addition, Aircraft Carriers are also undergoing extensive training because they are not very good at their own jobs. SEU's Navy is frankly undertrained.
The Federation has seen how effective the firing radars for SUE's ships are and has begun work on their own sending spies into SEU to find out what makes the radar tick
SEU has intercepted several (not all) of these spies; they already know Caliphate spies have stolen information, but know that Federation spies are markedly inferior to Caliphate spies. They increase information security. SEU is now significantly closer to creating a proximity fuse and airborne Radar, directly due to the significant improvement of the Cavity Magnetron. This significantly improves all Radars, and SEU is installing it onto all ships, as well as certain types of aircraft. This will allow Radars to have better targeting. The Cavity Magnetron is top secret, and it will be guarded and only the unbreakable (directly due to it being a variation of the OMEGA code in an obscure Chinese minority language with no writing system) ALPHA code will be used to protect the secrets. Not even Caliphate spies (best in the World) will be able to learn about it.
Development on ship radar is successful, land-based radar is stretching throughout the Caliphate, but the only problem is that it needs improvements to be on par with SEU radar. In the end, if the SEU doesn't stop punching out radar technologies like a madman, they will always be ahead of everyone else. If they stop, the Caliphate will catch up. Ship-based radar has gone through various stages and is expected to be fitted on the first few ships within a years time. Caliphate spies have locked into the OMEGA/ALPHA code, they say, "uh... what is this?" It is so obscure and unintelligible that the only thing that can be figured out is that it is of East Asian descent... Or maybe, Tibetian? More research is being done on examples of this language, but as of now there is nothing known, and it most likely won't be known for quite a long time. The Caliphate has developed their own form of this secret language, known as the "ghyr qabil lilkasr code." Yes, that is very awkward to say, so just say "The Zeta Code" but it literally means "Unbreakable" in Arabic. To make it easier to define, it also looks like غير قابل للكسر. Although the name is unbreakable, it definitely does not par with the ALPHA/OMEGA code. It's a form of Arabic derived from ethnic minorities in the Hejaz mountains. The language has few speakers, but that indeed makes it easier to find as it does have a written form. Thus, with terribly tedious reworking it is formed by a mesh of Arabic, Hebrew and some other languages that use symbolic writing. It is quite difficult for anyone at the start to even understand the highly descriptive amount of symbols, lines and peculiar writing style, making it difficult for a regular soldier to understand. That's why only the top dogs of the spying program are learning this, and they are very serious, dead serious. They will never let this information go, they have been trained from the start to endure such horrible punishments to the point where they would never say anything. Due to their Islamic beliefs, they believe that muttering any bit of secretive information would automatically send them to a blasphemous eternal fire in the afterlife, as they are seen as the workers of Allah.
SEU's optical targeting sucks. This could be exploited, because if the Radar was destroyed... SEU's Battleships would be rendered ineffective.
FOR REFERENCE: 70/100 ENIGMA 57/100 PURPLE 91/100 SIGABA 31/100 LACIDA 85/CCM OMEGA: 74/100 Pros: Easily Usable, incredibly compact and reliable. Several Variants that are very different can be used, not very hard to come up with new variants. None of them all have 1 common weakness (that is yet known, there is a few) Cons: Has several significant weaknesses that allow it to be pierced with a sufficient computer. Is quite breakable, just hard. If one could find a common weakness, SEU will have to come up with a new code entirely. ALPHA: 98/100 Pros: Nigh-unbreakable, wholly spoken. Cons: Very difficult to use, too difficult to risk placing very few speakers in ships, takes 5 years just to train 1 speaker (although SEU is trying)

Most of the reserves... don't exist. yup. they could in theory be called up, but SEU cannot possibly arm them all in a short period of time, but give them time and... In addition, the Caliphate Air Force is larger (although quality of planes is debatable) than the SEU Air Force, although that could change with time as well. The Sunayaad Caliphate devotes a significantly larger part of its budget to the military, so that's natural. You stand a chance against the Fascists, but the Socialists aren't going to bother to invade you and waste lives.
For as long as the Caliph lives, SEU will never invade the Caliphate. They have no good reason, the Caliphate army will commit relatively few atrocities. After that? I can't guarantee much. Especially if the new rulers turn out to be nutjobs and SEU decides "okay time to kill"
