[FORUM GAME] New Nations

Discussion in 'Forum Games' started by Warlord678, Feb 28, 2019.

  1. Afghanistan had reached out to form an Alliance with the Sunayyad Empire. They fear a USSR invasion and seriously do not want to be taken over. They have maintained a peaceful attitude towards the Caliphate, and the Caliphate to them. They all enjoy diverse trade, especially food and fruits, and petrol from the Saudis.

    So far the Caliphate's biggest allies include:
    Afghanistan, Pakistan, TBF, Ethiopian Empire. Every other Muslim nation is generally just friendly. The Caliphate has no enemy, just minority people who dislike them. The closest thing to an enemy would be India, as the Caliphate regards India as a Muslim-hating nation which used to be grand and full of religion, culture and history, but now a USSR puppet. The SEU is tossed between, the Caliphate doesn't trust the SEU, but hasn't developed a hate for them, nor love.

    Plans for new mechanical firing systems are being researched. These systems will allow much more accurate guns, although research is taking longer than hoped. The research will end in 10 posts. 18-Inch guns are being constructed and 40 of them will be built in 20 posts. So far, 15 Inch, 4 Inch and 16 Inch guns are being constructed at a very fast rate, over 20 of each are built every 2 months. 6 more Aleppo Classed Destroyers are being produced, giving the Caliphate Navy 24 Aleppo Classed Destroyers.

    Shipyards are being built in Tunisia, Ethiopia Iran's Caspian Sea and in the Persian Gulf. These shipyards will mostly produce civilian vessels, merchant and tourist ships, although they have the capability of producing smaller military vessels, although Sunayyad has more than enough military shipyards and factories. The shipyards will be finished in 1 year.
  2. NAVAL GUNS REVIEW
    SNE: Due to having the British Empire, these guys received what is potentially one of the best Naval Guns ever, the 15-inch Mark 1. Despite the limitation that its mounting only allowed it to go up 20 Degrees, it is still a reliable and overall accurate design, even if the armor piercing capabilities are less than optimal. They are wire-wound, which means they are overall quite reliable and strong. Supercharges could be issued to combat this, but this creates Barrel Wear. It's a trade. The potential 18-inch guns the SNE could choose to mass produce is a copy of this design, which means it inherits much of its reliability and accuracy.
    The Islamic Caliphate: Due to the relatively rushed design of the gun, the 15-inch guns has some problems with reliability. This gun fails relatively often, especially in the heat of Battle. However, it is still a powerful Gun and has a fast Muzzle Velocity, allowing it to pierce armor well, with a high-quality Armor Piercing Shell and a decent High Explosive Shell. There are also no notable problems with its accuracy, it's actually not that bad. (Sorry Otus, your Battleship was kinda OP for its size and I needed to nerf it somehow.). Their 16-inch guns are better, incorporating design experience. The reliability problems have improved significantly, while the power has slightly been reduced. However, this is compensated for by being 16-inch guns. Their 18-inch guns are... dear god. The first gun manufactured blew up, and the guns that came after are problematic as hell and too unwieldy. They keep failing and is generally loathed by everyone, gun crews, the manufacturers, all of them. (OOC: Stop developing guns instantly. That's what you get for making guns out of nowhere.)
    Socialist Eurasian Union: These guys have two wildly different Guns, one mediocre and one good. The 16-inch Guns were built-up, but due to being a first attempt had many issues with accuracy and reliability, in addition to a lackluster muzzle velocity. While most of these problems were ironed out (although not fully, some problems remain with reliability especially with Supercharges), especially in the export models to UBR, the problem of a lackluster velocity still remained. Due to this, Supercharged shells have been issued to UBR and SEU. This however creates the problem of Barrel Wear, which SEU can't fix. They exported it to India as well. The 18-inch guns however are engineering marvels. While it has a mediocre Barrel Velocity, it is very reliable and reasonably accurate. It is also quite cheap to create, as well as being very light (for 18-inch gun turrets, they're still heavy). Due to the reliability and remarkable strength of the Barrels despite being Built-Up, Supercharges have been issued which lowers some of the reliability but greatly extends range and Barrel Velocity.
    The Federation: Despite inexperience and the fact it was pressed into service at only 3 months into development, the 16-inch guns they built have no glaring errors. While it is mediocre in almost every respect, and the only thing that is going for it is the fact it is slightly cheap, it can still fire, reload and fire again, hit its target and cause damage. In Naval Warfare, that's what counts. It may be a Master of None, but it is a Jack of All Trades.
    Lore post I made a while back. How good it is proportional to time of development as well as inexperience.
  3. Otus, I'm telling you you need to redesign your 18-inch gun, and actually take time on doing it. Stop designing your guns instantly. Your tendency to build ships way too fast are already questionable, and as GM I'm calling a fiat to make you stop developing naval artillery instantly. SEU is unmatched in mechanical firing computers. However, the mere fact of having them is impressive and the Caliphate has given itself a massive advantage by just developing it. While the Caliphate's system is not impressive enough to be called a "Computer" unlike the SEU, it is still able to vastly improve targeting. In a shell slugging match between the Caliphate and other World Powers, the Caliphate has a big advantage.
    Okay. The Socialist Eurasian Union's continued development is allowing it to build more, faster. However, a plague is on the horizon.
    A Flu.
    The Spanish Flu.
  4. The Spanish Flu is here, and people are dying. It came from a Chinese village, and is rapidly spreading across Asia, into Europe and the Caliphate.
    The SEU has been greatly weakened, but they are first to be hit, and will be the first and fastest to recover. The SEU and USSR mount an immediate response; India, also affected works with SEU to sweep up the plague. They pull their entire nations into it, doing whatever they could to stop the plague.
    Despite all of this, people die. The Plague is spreading, killing. The great industrialization slows, but it is not dead, merely weakened. The factories slow, and people band together. But people still die. Despite all the efforts made by the USSR, people die and the Economy slows.
    During this crisis, an Indian man discovers a particular sample of Mold that kills germs. While ineffective on Viruses, it kills Bacteria with ease.
    The man names it Penicillin. However, these is no clear method to mass-produce it, and so it sits inside a shed for now. Little does he know, just how revolutionary it will be.
  5. The UBR is taking extra precautions with the Spanish Flu. We are temporarily stopping free borders and trade agreements in favor for our national personality: "Well-being & peace of mind for all of our residents". This includes the health of our citizens. Also, I'm going to be doing one of those things Otus did earlier.

    United Baltic Republic
    Acronym: UBR
    National Capital: Gdynia, Poland is where the legislation meets; all other important offices are in Sopot or Gdańsk.
    Capital of each Country: Warsaw, Poland | Vilnius, Lithuania | Riga, Latvia | Tallinn, Estonia | Helsinki, Finland
    National language: Polish
    Officially recognized languages: Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Finnish, Swedish
    Recognized minority languages: Kashubian, Livonian, Latgalian, Sámi
    Currency: Euro
    Religion: There are no state-sponsored religions; people are allowed to worship whomever they want.

    Flag [technically a banner]:


    The UBR's goal is "Well-being & peace of mind for all of our residents". This means going about their day without having to worry about what disaster will happen next. War and colonization are not a goal of the UBR; instead, the freedom, rights, and opinions of the residents are among our top goals. Technology, infrastructure, medicine, and education are all prioritized over bickering and fighting in Gdynia.

  6. The Naval Base in Norway is now complete. It now hold 4 HMS Furious 47s. This ship's construction was started 2 years ago and now is suited with torpedoes, along with 2 18'' Mk1 guns and 6 5.5" Mk1 guns . The # of AA guns stays the same as the post before regarding naval ships.

    The CNE's communist society is starting to crumble. Unemployment is at an all time low at 30% and almost half of the population is in poverty. The CNE starts to go into a depression. To fix some of the problems more factories are developed to make more jobs and the government loans money to businesses to help them thrive. With the recent crisis involving communism going on, the government of Ireland starts adopting ideas of socialism. The UK isn't to happy with this but lets it happen to hope that the poverty goes away.
  7. The Caliphate shut down all trade routes leading to Spanish Flu infected countries. Luckily, the Caliphate barely trades anything with the SEU or USSR. Cities are quarantined and people are checked for the disease. Only accounts of 10 people have been found in Iran, although they have all be quarantined and taken care of.

    Sunayyad Scientists have discovered something. They hypothesize that some sort of mould or spore formation bacteria could indeed be a cure, yet they haven't figured out what it is exactly. This is just a mere hypothesis though, and the Caliphate asks scientists from around the globe to use this hypothesis in case a cure could be discovered.
  8. Stop annexing countries out of no where and not following the "captured in 5 posts" system.

  9. The Spanish Flu has hit The Balkan Federation. All cases in Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Montengro, and Bosnia have been quarantined and their care is the health service's ultimate priority. However, the government of Kosovo was slow to respond and the disease now runs rampant among Albanian ghettos. The only reason anything was done is due to the intervention of the federal government taking control of the state.

    This further proves that the matter of Balkan federalisation is difficult - the government of Kosovo is mostly controlled by 'srpska nacionalistička stranka/The Serbian Nationalist Party', due to democracy. They follow a new ideology called fascism, which was made by a sad little Italian madman called Mussolini who was deported from Jurachskavacia for his radicalism. They have a very violent streak, as well, and masterminded a giant filibustering of a debate that would have quarantined the first cases of the Spanish Flu.

    However, they only hold majority control. The other largest party is the 'Partia Popullore Shqiptare/The Albanian People's Party', who hold 48% of the seats in the Kosovar government. They follow the teachings of Karl Marx, as well as pride in their Albanian identity. They try to stick up for the Albanian interests when they can, but the Serb party abuses parliamentary rules and is very violent against them.

    The other important state parliaments look like this:
    Serbia
    Largest party: 'Socijaldemokrate Srbije/The Social Democrats of Serbia' - Social Democrats - 40% of parliament
    Second largest party: 'Liberalna stranka/The Liberal Party' - Conservatives - 29% of parliament
    Third largest party: Socijalisti Srbije/Socialists of Serbia - Socialists - 28% of parliament
    Fourth largest party: Komunisti - Communists - 3% of parliament

    Greece
    Largest Party: 'To Ethnikó Métopo/The National Front' - Reactionaries/Nationalists - 52% of parliament
    Second largest party: 'Kommounistés tis Elládas/Communists of Greece' - Communists - 48% of parliament
  10. The Caliphate has pushed hard on improving the training of their soldiers.

    They're trained by the greatest Muslim generals and even German military trainers. Every soldier is disciplined heavily, even the worst behaved members of society leave training as hardened respectable men.
    A few techniques that have been used in ancient timers are used again, except it is applied to be applicable in this time and age.
    Religion plays a massive part in the war and ultimately makes a soldier deadlier; they are taught that once to die if they die a courageous and honourable death they shall go to heaven with Allah and reap many rewards. Every division of the military has different levels of this mindset, but I'll get into it.
    Each soldier is trained with the world's best hand to hand combat techniques, they are fast, deceitful and have blows that could instantly kill anyone if done right. These hand to hand combat techniques are the greatest in the world.
    The training is rigorous and completely drains you, there are numerous marches, obstacle courses and combat training exercises which make you feel like crap in the end, but make you an effective warrior in the end.
    The Airforce is no exception, the pilot training program is one of the greatest in the world. Same with the Navy.

    Royal Sunayyad Caliphate Armed Forces
    Personnel: 1,200,000 men
    Active in Peace Times: 200,000
    Reserves: 1,000,000

    Corps: Royal Navy, Royal Airforce, Coast Guard, Army.

    In the army, there are a few types of divisions:
    Infantry Corp - The biggest corp and the typical one, basic training level, hand to hand combat requirements, religious teachings, etc. Basically the basic training for a basic soldier but with Caliphate adjustments. In this corp is the artillery divisions, mortar, gunners, paratroopers etc. (Just regular corp)

    Masif Corp - These guys are the special forces of the entire army, basically a marine and more, these guys do it on the sea and land, and even air if paratrooping is needed. Training, of course, is incredibly hardening and rigourous, and most don't make it to the end and are forced to go back to the Infantry Corp, training includes everything, from hostage situations to trench warfare, they know it all. Their hand to hand combat is unmatched and their way of the gun is impressive. They are hardened so much to the point where they are forced in cramped conditions during training for 3 days to a week with little to no food or water, they are usually forced to smell horid things as well. This isn't torture, this is to prepare for torture. Their main moto is to never give up fighting, and to never give up information to anyone. They are taught to fight honourabley to their deaths, and when they die their rewards will be reflective on their performance.
    These special forces range from around 30-70,000 men, literally the greatest warriors, all are incredibly fit, healthy, mentally and emotionally prepared and have even been given training when they were younger.

    Each Province has their own military sizes, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. They all have their own seperate history, culture and identity, but once they are called to arms, they all fight under the Caliphate, as one.
    Mandatory Service is starting to be in use, within 1-year males who are fit and healthy between 18-24 are required to serve. They take the most basic training as possible, basically like the Infantry Corp although they are only called when in dire need.

    This training across the Empire is to prepare for another country when they annex the Sunayyad Empire. Instead of easily walking in, you're going to be torn apart by every citizen who knows how to fight, and my gosh, they will use Guerilla warfare like no other.

    The military motto is simple,
    Use as much artillery, aircraft, ships and guns as you can to overwhelm the enemy with superiority. These are hit and run tactics, one moment it could be quiet, the next you are bombarded by aircraft, artillery and gunfire from every direction until your 1,000 man army become a 0 man army.
    "Fight, Fight, Fight, never give up, Allah is watching you, and he will reward you for your success rate, ignore death and kill them. If they take over your land and bury you in the sands, create tunnels under those sands and harass and kill them until they are all gone."
  11. State of the Spanish Flu:

    The Caliphate heavily underestimated this one, as over 600 cases have been reported and 20 deaths have been caused. The economy has stalemated, for the time being, industrialization slows down, yet keeps going at a slower rate. Affected areas have been quarantined and affected areas are not allowed to trade or go seaborne.

    So far, treatment is being used. It isn't a cure, but nonetheless, it does slow the effects and presents a 10% higher survival rate. The treatment is spreading throughout the Empire and people are requesting it, yet the negative side affects are a more painful death if the treatment doesn't work.

    (Warlord, i'm giving you the chance to figure out a cure for the Spanish flu, if nothing comes out for a while, i'll do it myself)

    The 18 Inch Gun design has been halted to 1 year. Only 4 were designed and all failed, production of the rest has stopped, and 20 will be finished within 1 years time, yet due to the redesign it might take 1 and a half to 2 years maybe, yet the outcome will be marvellous.
  12. Here is the Federations new ship

    63,124 tons displacement full load
    12 16-inch guns in 4 turrets
    Essentially an upscaled version of the previous one, it is slower by about 2 knots, clocking in at around 29 knots. Despite the inefficiency of the Guns, it takes a good design and improves upon it, allowing it to be reasonably fast despite the fact armament was substantially increased. It is able to fight multiple other ships at once, and has the advantage of having its armament spaced out. However, its lacking armor piercing ability is very concerning especially without the upgun.

    Once we finish these we will have a total of 10 Navel Ship
  13. Due to our advanced precautionary measures, only a few cases in remote northern Finland villages have been reported of the Spanish Flu. These people have been quarantined and all people who lived near these cases have been tested.
  14. The Caliphate has cut down on Aristocracy. This means rich people have much less power and say in government, and now poor people and middle classed people can finally get rich, which rich people gain only a little more, yet don't lose much.
    Basically, Rich don't get as rich as before, poor people do.
  15. I've annexed precisely none of the countries I've invaded. In addition, most of the states could not put up a fight/did not. They were in no condition to, and the -Stans just cooperated with the SEU.
  16. The Trans-Arabian Pipeline Company, a Saudi Arabia company of the Sunayyad Empire is constructing a 754 mile long, 30-inch diameter pipeline, with a capacity of 300,000 barrels of oil per day. It will run from Qaisumah Saudi Arabia to Haifa, Palestine. This will be groundbreaking, as being able to transport that much oil at those distances quickly will make quick cash for Palestine and the Caliphate.

    This project will take roughly 5 years to complete (In real life it was 3, but it was in 1947, so since I don't want to be too OP I'll leave it a bit longer). It will be finished in 1929. It could be faster, but risks of working too fast and risks of the Spanish Flu are all accounts which the Caliphate doesn't want to risk.
  17. The SEU, after a brief bout of the plague is starting to recover. Most of the USSR's working together to mount a response worked. There is yet no cure, but luckily people worked together well.
    Now, the SEU looks towards Japan.
    And Revenge.
    General Zhukov, a Russian General rising in the ranks has identified the main enemy of Socialism Nationalism and Religion, both of which the Caliphate has. To counter their tactics, he has created 4 basic rules:
    1. Attack only when having an overwhelming advantage of men and materiel. The Caliphate's hit-and-run tactics leave them weak on defense.
    2. Disarm and feed the populace as best as can be done. Destroy all weapons, and fight terrorism with love and benevolence.
    3. Let them bleed themselves to death, using overwhelming manpower. The Caliphate does not have near-unlimited reserves. SEU does.
    4. Above all, adapt. A very disciplined army such as that of the Caliphate is unable to adapt to changing circumstances. SEU must be able to change.
  18. SEU has created a new training program for their military. While it bears resemblance to the Caliphate's program to a layman, it is different. It cannot be said which is better.
    This training program emphasizes adaptability over iron discipline to create effective Soldiers, unlike the Caliphate.
    Soldiers are trained in the use of trench-digging tools (infamous for their weaponizablity, look it up) to counter hand-to-hand combat. They are mostly taught defensive techniques in hand-to-hand. A lot of their training is on how to fight insurgencies/fanatical opponents. They are taught to be kind to the populace and merciless to the enemy, and to engage very determined foes from far away.
    Anyone in control of a large amount of things that can go Boom is given special training on how to use it against a variety of foes. They are heavily trained and taught to value accuracy over quantity, despite the fact SEU can summon massive amounts of artillery.
    The Special Forces are given training only outmatched by 1 corps, the near-equal of the Masif Corps. They sre adaptable, picked from the finest, and lnow how to fight in any circumstances. They are the best of normal men the SEU has to offer, and they are very nearly the Masif Corps's equal, being given and working with the Best.
    There is a special corps of trained madmen and killers. Deployed to only the most hardy of resistance and the worst of fighters, they are Psychopaths, clever, sly and evil. They are like the SS in real life, but more clever and more targeted about atrocities. They are the worst of men, the most despicable that can be found, and the most clever. They have no qualms burning down an entire village to find a single Masif fighter. They are picked out of prisons and gangs. Their only rule is that Rape is not acceptable under any circumstances. Rapists and Child Molesters are not allowed to join. Everything else is allowed. There are not very many of them, and their uniforms are distinctive. There are around 5,000-10,000 of them. They are the counterpart to the Masif corps, designed specifically to defeat them. Trained with such rigor and power, they are the best of the best. They are convincing liars, they can give away true information delivered just too late to be useful. They are feared, hated by all who meet them friend or foe.
  19. I never said the Caliphate couldn't be adaptable, they train with every circumstance and know how to move around, the only non-adaptable thing is fighting in SEU specific terrain, which they have no need to really anyway. They live in a desert, so of course they know how to quickly make foxholes and trenches.

    The Caliphate's goal is really to expand a Muslim Empire, there is no need to get involved with the SEU or USSR, the SEU and USSR has no point in bothering them, the farthest out east the Caliphate would ever annex would be Afghanistan with the alliance of Pakistan, although they don't really have much of a point.

    The Caliphate tells the SEU and USSR to bugger off, go burn some South East Asian village instead of bothering the Islamic World, no matter how much you feed an entire populous, they will still fight back, and in the end men in the desert will be the end of you.

    If the SEU or USSR invades and tries to control any part of the Middle East, they will be kicked out from civil unrest and eventually leave with nothing. They will first leave with embarrassment from being kicked out by some civilian fighters and then they will realize the land they left is just pure ash with a broken economy and shattered lives. Nothing is gained at all, nothing... at... all...
  20. Discipline results in stratification.
    Stratification results in slowness.
    Slowness results in low adaptablity.
