Also, OP, can countries change their government types and are other countries of the same content allowed to join? Like for example: "Idaho joins TUN due to the struggle in their government and economy, they yearn for a better government."
In addition, the empire has to deal with the bloody civil war in China, between communists and Kuomintang. The theocracatic elements bans civilian brutality tactics, to prevent the anger of the civilians. This severely hampers Kuomintang operations for 6 months, but becomes beneficial after this until the end. (Yes, I retconned it because it’s too convienient)
Alright. Back in-game. The purges are complete, and the Empire's ranks are swiss-cheesed, as corruption was rampant. This leads the empire to stop all additional external operations while they fill their ranks. This takes 1 year to complete. For now, the Kuomintang are on their own, and the rest of the Empire will only assist when absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, the empire is sending envoys to UK in order to negotiate a cooling of tensions. Without it, the world may once again spiral into war.
Oops. I was thinking the Chincse Civil War ended in 1945 after Kuomintang was pushed out to Taiwan. Forgot it was 1949. My mistake! On the USSR thing, I don't think I'll allow that, as East Germany was an occupied territory and not a part of the USSR - plus that'll be horrendous for me to do on the map. Since I split the United States up, it's only fair to do that to the USSR too. Countries may change their government types. In one of the previous games I think I went from constitutional monarchy to constitutional republic to dictatorship. Countries joining willingly like that won't be allowed until later stages of the game, when there are enough people playing and not more coming in.
Nation Name: Swissilia Acronym: SL (I figured SS wouldn't be a good option at this time ) Participating Countries: Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Sicily. Main Exports: Grapes? Form of Government: Anarchy Map Colour: Purple
Okay then. It’s only a minor loss. However, the fortifications will have to be retconned to the Polish-Russian border.
In addition, The HMKX Empire is sending a second wave of envoys to the UK! Peace must be restored. The Finnish negotiations, as I would assume would take 1 year to negotiate. Until then, the 920,000 thousand troop presence in the Polish border stays. Alright, let's recap my Country's status. The HMKX empire's status: 920,000 troops as well as 1,200 tank units stationed at the Polish border. Negotiating mutual defense pact with Finland. Ranks currently drained of manpower due to anti-corruption reforms, no new foreign operations unless absolutely necessary due to high likelihood of failure. Found oil, in the Russian Oil Fields, high steel production. Current Chinese Civil war going badly for Kuomintang, Kuomintang leaders ordered to change strategy in order to counter guerilla tactics. Only material assistance given is ammunition and food shipments. The rest would require manpower, and thus external operations. In the event manpower assistance is required to help the Kuomintang, Japanese citizens are banned, period. Food reforms underway. 1 year mark effects have begun to show, allowing food shipments to far-out military forces and Kuomintang. Significant amounts lost to poor roads. Directly due to last bullet point, infrastructure reform discussed. The people are now fed and while not full, no one starves and they are fit to work. It is time to begin to pull the economy together, as the significant resources of Russia and China are useless without proper transport. Planning underway for invasion of India. Invasion will not occur until 3 and a half years, if not more.
The United Kingdom of the North Sea has declared that, while they disagree with the HMKX's plans for expansion, the North Sea troops are war weary and the nation doesn't have enough military projection to defend an invasion of the Indian subcontinent without resorting to colonialism themselves. They accept the warming of relations from the HMKX, although have fortified the Swedish and Norwegian borders against Finland and the state of Russia (2 posts). A year since the war ended, the military has begun demobilisation and conscription has officially been ended. The army has shrunk from 4.14 million servicemen to around 2 million, and is set to decrease to 800,000 by 1950. The navy has 15 battleships, 7 aircraft carriers, 66 cruisers, 184 destroyers, 60 submarines, 45 escort vessels, and is the largest in the world - the UKNS maintains that it plans to keep this status and to modernise it once domestic issues are taken care of. Also by 1950, the government plans to have built around 800,000 homes required to house everyone adequately in the ruined Great Britain and Norway. They are relying on the public sector, rather than the private sector, as had previously been done and clearly having been a failure. The UKNS has extended an offer to Swissilia to join the European Commonwealth in order to share resources, have a mutual defence pact, and to place a military base within Italy and Luxembourg, and allowing for Swissilia to establish its own within the UKNS. Although it entirely understands if it wishes to reject these terms.
During the Great Colony and State split throughout the world after the war, Michigan, New York, Washington, and Alaska, have joined with Canada to form a grand nation; The United North. With the joining of two different nations entirely, it hasn't been any easy strech. Although with plans underway to form the UNAF and strength the TUN Government, TUN has successfully combined it's borders within the states at a fast speed. No longer is Michigan, Washington, New York or Alaska a part of US soil, it now belongs within TUN. This means that ALL citizens are free to pass through each previous US state without consequence, and now, border lines and checks have been established at previous US State borders. Also to note, the Federal Bank of TUN has been established, and adoption of the selected "Canadian Dollar" or CAD has been chosen. Effects will be in place within 5 posts.
The military base will not be placed, as almost the entire population is anarcho-pacifistic. Sharing resources seems good to most, but others are sceptical, as joining the European Commonwealth might mean hierarchy. It will take some time to discuss.
TUN announces the establishment of the United North Armed Forces (UNAF). Merging was made to combine the US and Canadian Troop. The UNAF has also founded new military branches: The United North Marine Corp (UNMC). A similarity between the USMC. The United North Royal Navy (UNRN). Being within waters near the hostile East Asia and Japan, and politcal conflict in East Europe, the UNRN has devoted a plan to be the main force in surrounding waters. UNRN has created a plan to produce a new fleet of corvettes, destroyers, frigates, and submarines. New fleet will be finished within 6 posts. The United North Royal Air Force (UNRAF). UNRAF has devised a plan to produce a total of 6,000 new aircraft, devised of Hawker Hurricanes, B-17 Bombers, and others. Production of the new air force should be finished within 4 posts. Currently, the UNAF has a total of: 168,000 military vehicles, 7,000 tanks, those of which are: M26 Pershing, M4A3E8 Sherman (along with other M4 Sherman variants), T26E4, M5 Stuart, Chaffee, M18, M10, M36, Ram, Grizzly, Comet and Cromwell, along with many other British/Canadian/American vehicles and tanks. Numbers of the current navy fleet have not been announced yet. UNAF has announced that the UNAF is made up of about 3.3 million servicemen, 1 million of which are planned to be active personnel, with 950,000 as reserves, with 7 million men and women fit for service around the country. The UNAF has announced to the world that they are not to be messed with, and TUN requests a state of alliance with fellow WW2 ally, UKS.
TUN has created a plan to reproduce new M26 and T26E4 Pershing Tank models. The Project will produce 3,000 brand new tanks, along with a project to bring in 5,000 newly built armoured vehicles and weapon carriers. This will be finished within 2 posts. UNAF have decided to move a small fleet of coast guard and military ships into the Bering Strait, the body of water between Russia and Alaska. The UNAF warns the HMKX empire that hostility within the pacific ocean waters will not be tolerated.
FORMAL LETTER TO LEADERS OF THE TUN: Hello. Long ago, we aimed armageddon at the gates of heaven. Out of our own ideological wants, we fought like a game. HOWEVER, the world is not a game. In the bible, heaven contains vast quantities of gold. We, the Empire will use that molten gold to rebuild heaven, at the thirty-eight line. We have no god. We have no masters. We only know of our house. A house should be prosperous. We are reforming. We are chaging, however slowly. Our house, our empire, our one roof. Hope. We are mankind’s best hope for long-term survival. Capitalism is doomed to destroy itself by tearing our world apart. And you c an see yourself how well communism turned out. We built a system. A hybrid system, Socialism straddling the line of Capitalism. So, we are warning you. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take further action in the Pacific. Yes, we backed off from Germany. No, this does not mean we have no ambition. Unless you feel Nuclear armageddon is worth the Empire’s end, stop. We will rebuild heaven. We will mend the families. We will fight for prosperity. A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage. We, the followers of hope know better than regurgitations of the past. A shiny new future for humanity awaits. You can already see it working. In our nation, in just a year, no one starves. Everyone used to starve, even I. So, I reiterate. Do not, DO NOT perform agressive action within the pacific, lest you perform the end. Oh Dong-Gyu, Empire President.
The Communists are losing their greatest advantage. The Kuomintang are gaining the people’s goodwill. Soon, the tide will turn. Of course, the Empire’s ranks are still swiss-cheesed. The Empire won’t do anything too much, but the Empire’s sending a few light tanks in celebration. Now, the Empire waits. Once the HMXK Empire can build proper roads and factories, the Empire will produce many things. However, The Empire need to actually build roads! The Empire will start in several posts, and it will take 6 months to build the infrastructure. Now, everyone can get water and electricity.
So a question about the game: can my state know things happening privately, like The United North producing tanks or the He-MaKiXi Empire sending a letter?
As a matter of fact, the TUN isn’t supposed to know about the invasion plans. Either it’s cheating or they have spies. In whichever case...
A RESPONSE LETTER TO DONG-GYU OF THE HMKX EMPIRE Greetings. We have evaluated your letter and have decided that we WILL NOT cease to deploy military units within the Pacific Ocean. These actions are to keep previous Axis powers in line and to protect the well being and freedom of the TUN. We agree to not perform aggressive action within the pacific, although be warned, we are allies with the UKNS, and any war or conflict will end poorly. Again, we are not pushing forth aggressive acts, but we are protecting the well being of our glorious nation, with that said, we are not sending in any more fleets within the waters of your borders, although, we will not hesitate if conflict should arise within the future. Sincerely, The United North Council.
