[FORUM GAME] New Nations

The Sunayyad Empire has begun rebuilding what has been torn in the past. Many Arabs and Non-Arab Muslims still feel dazed, some feel as if the ideology of Arabs being the superior race will still persist within this new Empire, but the Caliphate dismisses these claims, stating that Allah has planned for there to be an equal level of superiority in the Muslim world. All Muslims, whether Shia or Sunni follow the exact same God, they all are Muslims.

To unite them furthur, the Caliphate met at Baghdad, Istanbul, Riyadh, Damascus and Cairo all separately, he came in riding on a white horse declaring to every inhabitant in the region that Allah told him in a dream that they should all unite as one and that the only way to become successful in an Islamic Regime is to treat thy own brother the same, and to treat each other as in the image of God. The Caliphate stretched his hand to the Persians in the land of Persia (Iran) inviting them to a peaceful reunion, and a feast upon chalices of gold, a merry splendour where they shall forget their indifferences and unite as one.

This works, as people all throughout the once-shattered Ottoman Empire now raise their hands in praise and bow to Allah, preaching in the streets of the return of Mohammed the Prophet. This new King is surely a genius, who knows if he's telling the truth, maybe Allah never gave him a dream, but his Charisma and his overall religious affiliation strengthen his entire Empire.

The Sunayyad begin immense reformation projects, rebuilding broken down villages and towns, as well as constructing farms and using advanced irrigation methods all throughout the region. Schools are full of children and teachers, hospitals recieve brand new equipment and the Royal Palace re cleaned.

The Caliphate directly rebukes the leaders of the USS, claiming them as direct hatred of humankind and bringers of war. A possible trade deal could of happened, but for now resists.

Ethiopia and the Sunayyad Empire have begun improving their relations, with both kings directly showering eachother with gifts, and both wanting an alliance. They begin trading and begin the start of a new era. The Caliphate dismisses any feud between Islam and Ethiopian Orthodox religions, stating whether they believe in different gods, they still believe in "God," meaning whatever view they have of Him, they still are brothers made in the same image.

Rigged up a hotspot, should be fine for next 3 days.
As the Industrialization continues, the USS prepares to go to war. They shall bring the Socialist Revolution (actually state capitalist) to the first unwilling country;
Japan.
USS's Hitlist:
Japan (Turn into constitutional monarchy)
Malaysia (State Capitalist Republic)
Turkey (State Capitalist Republic)
Poland (State Capitalist Republic)
Asian -stan countries (annex/SCR)

New Map. I can be the map guy for you if you'd like

The EFJ denounces this move as dictatorial, autocratic, and undemocratic and a step backwards away from the future. The EFJ does not want to support any state that forces beliefs or ideals upon it's people that denounce their identity.
As the EFJ finds success in making canvas and wood planes they invest in more durable yet light aluminum. But as there is a shortage of aluminum in the EFJ, work is stalled by the need to scrap aluminum from buildings. After testing more planes the fastest is able to travel at 200 kilometers per hour. Another issue comes from the inefficiency of the engines, they burn natural gas at a rate of 10 liter an hour when at 70% throttle. The engines also start to over heat and pilot casualties are a new issue with the project, officially called: Project Soar.
But as more citizens become economically empowered, a company looking to capitalize off air travel is born. It's name is Flug-Nehmen, the parliament votes to hand the project to them.
A currency is created, the Peuro, which is given to citizens in exchange for giving things to the government. (approximate value: 1 USD = 1 peuro).
The EFJ also creates the Subsidy Referral Department to give money to people still affected by the volcano rebuild their lives. Funding comes from the newly created tax system, designed to economically empower poor people with a 5% tax on reported income of 30,000, a 10% on 40,000, a 15% on 50,000, a 20% on 60k, and so on until 100k, which is the most one can earn.

The SEU and USS bluntly states they are a Democracy and only let in Democracies, operate with Democratic Principles, and that they do not ban religion. USS is now exporting Aluminum and Steel Worldwide.

With devasting losses after WW1, the Sunayyad Empire is now developing the chance to finally rebuild their military. After the loss of the Central Powers and entire loss of the Ottoman Military, now calls for a new uprising.

The military lay broken and scarred, most men fear to fight another bloody war. What brings them together though is a glimmering hope... That hope is the Caliphate. The Caliphate calls for all men, young and old, strong or weak to call up to arms to defend their nation and state of life. (The Caliphate, of course, doesn't want brittle men fighting, but it is a metaphor for every man to stand with his country)

At last, military barracks and training compounds are rebuilt, and new tactics are brought into the military, brutal tactics from ancient times, but most important lessons learned from the Great War. Alas, an army of 1,200,000 men is called to rise from the desert sands and into the eyes of Allah. Within 10 posts, the Sunayyad Military is expected to have 200,000 active personnel in peace times and 1,000,000 reserves, ready to call in within a week. All men who train are expected to be young, between roughly 18-28, fit, healthy, mentally sane, and well trained with rigorous training, one of the best types in the world. Of course, every fighter fights with the mind of Jihad.

Sunayyad Military Tactics:
A simple moto: "Use as much force as you can to attack the enemy. Swarm in from every direction, fire from every direction, rain hell with more than enough artillery and quickly gut through the enemy before they can even see you. Be as brutal as you can be."

"During the case of the elimination of the mass military, every single man who is true to his God must take arms and fight a nasty fight. Use Guerilla tactics, use awful traps, execute their officers before everyone else, and make sure it is done in the name of Allah."

Their tactics are basically overwhelming the enemy from each side, and keep fighting no matter what. No matter if your entire army is wiped out, fight from every angle, even beneath the sands, do whatever it takes to stop the Infidel.

Turkey will be guarded by 300,000 men in 6 posts. They will protect the capital of Constantinople and protect it at all cost from any threat. Iran is also being eyed on as a juicy target...

The Sunayyad Empire adopts the M1903 Mauser as the main battle rifle, glorifying the Ottoman Past, as well as the adoption of the German Luger Pistol.

Out of Game Chat (OOC): In general though, the Sunayyad Empire is pretty civilized, the "brutality" with the military is basically a tactic to scare the enemy, and the whole Allah, Allah, mush, mush thing is just to raise the morale of a broken nation.

The Sunayyad Empire starts using their entries to the Mediterranean sea to their advantage. They tax merchant ships from foreign or Non-friendly powers, gaining tons of money and power.

The USS is confused.
Why would the Sunayyad Empire neglect armored Support or an Air Force?
USS and especially SEU has gone through great pains to create an effective, combined arms fighting force.
The T-18 is being produced in great numbers, as well as many types of Air Force planes. Yes, did I mention the Air Force is now an independent branch of the armed forces?
The USS has modified its name.
It is now the United Soviet State-Republics, the USSR, operating under a Eurasian Socialist ideology (State Capitalism)
Construction on the
Revolution-Class Battleship:

56,100 tons displacement standard load, 49,121 tons displacement full load.

30 knots full speed

With 9 16-inch guns in 3 turrets, distributed in a 2-1 style, this ship is a stepping stone to the much bigger ambitions of the SEU Navy. These battleships are ships made to combat the IJN in any context. 2 will be built. The reason that it is unusually heavy is because of the fact that it will be upgraded to 18-inch guns later in their service life, making it the equivalent of the

Java-Class Battleship

has begun, as well as the

Dokrip-Class Destroyer

3,650 tons displacement full load

35 knots

The primary class of destroyer of the Navy, it is a good design. Straddling the line between a Light Cruiser and a Destroyer, it still has the design objectives of Destroyers, including Pacific Warfare in mind, with an extremely long range. It is armed with many torpedoes and antiaircraft guns. Being fast and powerful, it even has 8 5-inch guns to better attack other ships.

Chandragupta-Class Heavy Cruiser

19,121 tons full load

32 knots

A large Heavy Cruiser for the purpose of attacking Submarines and Convoys alike, it posses 9 8-inch guns in 3 turrets, 2 in Superfiring pair. It saves displacement while being a fast ship, having a very long range for Naval Warfare as well as posssesing a fast loading system that allows it to have a fast fire rate. SEU will mass produce this Heavy Cruiser for use. Heavily armored and fast, it is powerful.

Beijing-Class Aircraft Carrier.

12,000 tons displacement standard load. 32 knots maximum speed.

32-fighter capable. This is a light aircraft carrier with some AA firepower. A capable carrier. These things are fairly easy to build, and taking 1 year, this will be for now the primary aircraft carrier of the SEU. 8 in construction.

Belarussia-Class Aircraft Carrier.

37,000 tons displacement standard load. 33 knots maximum speed. A powerful Aircraft Carrier for all purposes, built to compete with any other. This aircraft carrier is one of the largest to date. It has some AA firepower and is built specifically to escort Battleships and to work with them to create decisive naval superiority. SEU decided upon a doctrine of combined Aviation and Big-Gun Battleships. 4 in construction, 4 planned.

OOC: I am (relatively) well-read about Battleships and other WW2 Naval equipment.
Want a Battleship designed? PM me. Just specify the main caliber of the guns and displacement, and I'll make it realistic.

USSR is afraid, but SEU is unimpressed.
They've seen this kind of bravery before in the Japanese.
They know how to fight it, how to defeat it, and most importantly how to break it.
They are now creating a type of light infantry machine gun for use, to mow down enemy soldiers with ease, and great and terrible artillery guns to defeat their madness. SEU has fallen in love with Machine Guns, Aircraft, Artillery (including Mortars) and Tanks and pours the military budget into this. Their army, despite their population is a measly 1,000,000. But the ever-increasing factories produce artillery, planes, tanks and machine guns.

Here comes the creation of...

THE ACT OF SALAAM

This declaration created by and signed by the Caliphate dictate the National Law of the land.

The Act of Salaam is an act of Peace, an act following the steps of Pax Romana and taking bits of Sharia Law into account.

This Act shall be the law that every inhabitant in the Sunayyad Empire will be affected by, whether Kurd, Arab, Persian, Turkish, Egyptian or of any other ethnicity and faith. All are affected.

What the Law states:

It states a divine peace between the people of the Sunayyad Empire. It states that all men, women and children, regardless of ethnicity, religious beliefs or family are permitted at the same level in society. Everyone is united, and everyone is a brother and a sister. Taxes are the same between every citizen of the Sunayyad Empire, and every legal citizen who has sworn the rights of citizenship are granted the same options to education, health, safety, religion and care. The Caliphate believes that relying on a society with multiple layers of worth are selfish and greedy. He believes that to survive as an Empire and to grow, everyone should be educated and be healthy, this high-performance level can reach the peaks of Empires. Everyone should work and provide to the Empire, Everyone should realize they are there for a purpose, the purpose of creating a New World.

Freedoms and Rights:

Every human has the freedom to health, safety, education and religion, but freedom of self-expression and freedom of speech is different. The Caliphate believes in freedom to express one's own self and ethnicity, although when that freedom of speech comes into the light of blasphemy towards the Caliphate and Allah, then that freedom must be stripped from themselves, and that persons shall be punished. Yet everyone has the freedom to travel, trade and the freedom to work. Basically, all freedoms are given, except the freedoms to spew hate towards the Caliphate, Allah, Islam or the Holy Teachers. Those who do this shall be punished severely.

What this means for women:

As Allah created it, both men and women are meant to be partners on this divine earth. One cannot depend without the other, and both are expected to make their own contributions, men are expected to express masculinity and women feminity. Women must obey and submit to their husbands, they must serve them and treat them with care. As for men, they must respect their wives and mothers, being fair to them and respecting them as images in God, men who severely abuse and mistreat their own mistress must have a reason, or be punishable by death. Women, serve your men, and men, treat your women with prosperity. As is of many traditions, society is Patrilineal.

Culture and Art:

The Caliphate believes in the creation and expression of art. No matter your enemy, every piece of art shall stay within the existence of our being. Even during conquest, preserve the arts and crafts of your fellow nations, and keep them within museums for millennium to come. Keep writing alive, poetry, sagas and any form of writing must be preserved with dignity. People throughout Sunayyad, create carpets, pottery, clothing and paintings like you have never done before. Take after your ancestors, respect them and follow their culture and arts. Do not forget them, and do not cease your gifted talents.

Colonies, Annexations and Conquests:

During the case of conquest upon another nation, arm yourselves with weapons, find whatever you must and fight for your lives, for when you die you will be in Heaven with Allah, and your contributions on earth shall represent your divine reward. When conquesting, leave no one to rebel, enslave the populous, kill all who fight back, but do not kill the ones you have enslaved. Feed them, keep them warm during cold nights, but never submit to them as an ally. They are your enemy, but they are also very important to the growth of the Empire. In short, word, keep the innocent alive, kill anyone who dares oppress the Caliphate. Keep all art and treasure safe, stow it to Sunayyad, take all of their riches. After the process of Annexation, kill off the rebellion, but once a Sunayyad nation, rebuild their villages and towns, repay them, and invite them into Salaam that every Sunayyadian shall enjoy.

Islam:

My brothers and sisters, keep the word of Allah by your heart, recite it by day and memorize it by night, the scripture is a weapon, a very powerful weapon. Spread throughout the region, and convert everyone that you see. Inform them of the good news of Allah, inform them of the treasures that await. Do not force conversion upon the innocent, keep the act of killing to convert only for the worst of your enemies. Do not cast a stone upon one who has never cast a stone upon you.

Punishments:

The law of Punishment resides with Sharia Law. An eye for an eye, and ear for an ear. Any thief who is of the age of knowledge (Above 18) cut one finger of the hand that he stole from. The adulterer who walks to his brother's house to sleep with his brother's wife, stone both him and the woman. If someone shall lie a great lie which causes treason to the Caliphate and Allah, kill him by brutal execution, if one shall lie to a greater extent, yet not to the Caliphate, cut off his tongue. If one shall lie a smaller lie, feed his mouth with thorns. If one shall kill another brother out of revenge or in cold blood, and in a way that is not related to the will of Allah or military wise, he shall be hung by a Sycamore tree. These Punishments are by the will of Allah who promises his people goodwill if they shall follow his will. So my brothers, follow his will.

This concludes the Salaam Act.

Everyone shall follow this act with pride and dignity, for we are all the same, my brothers and sisters.

Sunayyad Empire Weaponry:

Smalls Arms:
M1903 Mauser Rifle
Luger Pistol
(assortments of other rifles may be used)

Machine Guns:
Loads of Machine Guns are being built, at a very fast rate, used in large amounts during attacks and defensives to cut down enemy advances, literally cut them up.

Submachine guns:
Not much is being talked about as of now, but the Sunayyadians have blueprints for the German MP 18. Being a recent German ally surely is a treat. These MP 18s are being considered for use, although their minimum range is troubling. More work shall be done, but for now, current MP 18s in Sunayyad hands are for city and close combat

Sniper Rifles:
Denominations of the M1903.

Aircraft:
Aircraft are being produced at a rate faster than before, now with urgency for the new technology.
Military named aircraft belonging to the G, H, and K class is being produced. The G class is light to unarmed biplanes, the H class stands for medium armed nimble aircraft, while the K stands for heavily armed aircraft.

As of now:
Fighter Aircraft Class: Alhawa Class, nimble, light, and decently armed, used to evade the enemy during dogfights and to gain overwhelming speed.
Attack Aircraft Class: Aljahim Class, similar to the Alhawa class of Fighters, nimble and fast, used to evade ground force attacks from AA.
Bombers Class: Mufajir Class, Able to evade most ground attacks, yet able to carry heavier amounts of weight. Perfect for bombing targets yet having a higher chance of survivability.

Over 450 of these planes are in the making and will be produced in 3 posts.

Over 900 pieces of Heavy and light Artillery are being produced in 4 posts.

Highly Advanced and strategic AA systems will be produced at large amounts and will be placed in strategic positions in Turkey and all along the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean in 6 posts.

Land Vehicles: WORK IN PROGRESS

Naval Units: WORK IN PROGRESS

Nergal Class Battleship

15-inch variant:
46,851 tons displacement full load
9 15-inch guns in 3 triple turrets
32 knots full speed
A powerful option, it has it all. Firepower, speed, economy. Its only shortcoming is armor, and even then it is not that bad at it. Its armament is only slightly light. It has heavy Antiaircraft Armament as well as its other components, a good design if there ever was one.

6 of the Nergal Class Battleships will be built, all with the 15-inch Variant. Construction will be costly, yet it will be worth it. Construction will end in 15 posts.

SEU continues industrialization. It is encouraging new methods of production, especiay war materiel.
They plan for a war in Asia, to spread their Socialist Revolution. Meanwhile, the 18-inch guns roll off the assembly lines.
OOC: reminder that I am relatively well-read on battleships, and that if you specify a few things I can make a text-based design for you.

Nation Name: The Communist Nations of Europe
Acronym:CNE
Countries: Uk, Ireland,Germany and the Netherlands. (Is this allowed? They aren't all touching because only 1 thing touches the UK)
Main Exports:Oil,Machinery,Chemicals, and more Oil.
Type of Government:Communist Monarchy. (This means everything is communist, but the leader is a king or queen chosen through the bloodline)
Map Color: Dark Red
After WW1 these 4 countries banded together and agreed upon the communist manifesto, created by Karl Marx. They didn't all agree on the monarchy part though. This country is heavily militarized because of Germany and The UK combining. The UK and Germany came to an unlikely agreement after WW1 where they come together and make a strong army, in order to be a world power. Their is constant fighting between citizens and the government because communism doesn't always work and the citizens don't like the leader being chosen from the bloodline.

I believe Germany was taken. Take another nation.

As other nation gear for war, the EFJ decides that planes will only do so much against possible invasion from nations to the south east or north east. It decides to research into warships and tanks which of many can be built with the vast supply of workers and steel.

For the job of producing these tanks the government hands the job to a company it's created known as: Panzerstören. Panzerstören begins making the Mark V Tank it calls the Zerstörer. The job of making warships goes to: Bateau-guerre, who start creating advanced Class Dreadnought warships (basically the HMS Bellerophon).

The military is also officially created and is given money to build barracks and pay soldiers. They gathered around 100,000 active members and 600,000 reserve that could be moved to any border in about a week.

Looking at the slow deploy time the EFJ uses it's vast supply of steel to begin laying the rails for a vast rail network to connect all of the nations great cities, the EFJ expects this to take 2 years to finish.

Yea i have germany

You're going to need to start building a lot bigger Battleships. The Bismarck-Class could be a good idea, just make it 4-shaft propulsion. Or Hood.
Also, I don't think your Iron reserves as Vast.
Maybe large, but nowhere near as vast as China or Russia, and definitely not Australia. Also, you have little Oil.

According to a chart i found from 1913 to 1918 Germany produced about 270 million metric tons of ore (assuming this mostly refers to iron ore). I think we're pretty well off (how much does you make?), you are right about oil though.

The Federation has decided to send out a peace treaty to all major nations

The peace treaty states that no one will attack anyone else without a good and viable reason

The Federation has also started producing food for it's people and is working on getting it's peoples re-settled in the land

The Caliphate addresses the same message to everyone in the land. Work. Work. Work.

After the Caliphate gave the people the Salaam act and after he united them and rebuilt a broken Empire, he expects the people to work. No matter what it is, work should be on everyone's mind, but Industrialization is the main thing. No matter how old or how young, everyone has a task, whether children do chores, older people write motivational books, or while weak people make pottery, textiles or carpets, everyone works. All throughout the Empire, dots of factories are popping up with speed, and mining has begun to boom. Money is starting to dip though, and new ways of obtaining money are looked for. Food is becoming a slight problem, although the work attitude has brought in the development of new farms, at a very fast rate.

The relationship with the Arabs and Persians has doubled since the last meeting. The Caliphate visits Persia, bringing good news that Allah has sent a period of peace and prosperity to the Persians. (He is lying though, it is only to make Persians like Arabs, but it works.)
