Oh….yea. Man, it’s been too long since I’ve seen the main thread.

Summer 2019

World
-Germany is toppled, now it is up to the conquering powers to decide on how to partition it.

ALAN; 36.45T (+2.6T Income)
Ranked 1st
Average Economy
Research: None
-Moon mining continues, albeit at a reduced rate. (+$400B)
-ALAN spends money on finding more valuable lunar minerals, but comes up with nothing. (-$600B)

IDC; 0T (+600B Income)
Ranked 2nd
Average Economy
Research: None
-The IDC outfits the base in Turkey with all its necessary supplies. It is run by the joint IDC special forces and a focus of the specialized training present in the base is paratrooper operations, improving the ability of the IDC’s troops in that regard. The base will also be used for testing satellites, which China is doing this quarter. (-$600B)
-The IDC sends $600B to UFoW as an aid package so that they can recover more quickly; the last quarter proves that UFoW is still reliant on foreign aid for its improvements to the nation. (-$600B)
-The IDC helps out in Germany, paying no war costs thanks to the massive Brazilian overpay.

M-COW; 23.65T (+1.2T Income)

Turkey; 0B (+300B Income)
Sizeable, Sizeable, Veteran, Stable, Affluent
Trade Pacts: None
Research: None
-Turkey spends money on repairing areas damaged by the war, to improve the nation’s stability. There is also some propaganda presence, essentially informing the citizenry that the government is no longer an evil tyrannical pseudorepublic bent on genocide and jingoism. It’s a general success and stability improves. (-$600B, Stability Increase)

Mexico; 0B (+300B)
Sizeable, Undersized, Veteran, Solid, Affluent (partway to Prosperous)
Trade Pacts: None
Research: None
-Mexico works on repairing its German territory and taking in its economic wealth, and states it has no intention to relinquish its captured portions of Germany. (-$500B)

Miniscule (partway to Tiny), Miniscule, Professional, Shaky (1/3 to Stable), Impoverished (partway to Poor)
Trade Pacts: Chile (+$150B) Afghanistan (+$50B)
Research: None
-UFoW receives a $600B contribution from the IDC. (+$600B)
-Operation Genesis is continued and more land is cleaned, babies start being born at a reduced rate, and propaganda spews from televisions nationwide. The economy starts to perk up a bit, but not all the way to Poor. (-$1050B)

Italy; 0B (+900B Income)
Sizeable, Average, Specialist, Guarded (a little bit to Solid), Loaded
Trade Pacts: Australasian Covenant (+$150B) Saudi Arabia (+$150B) Spain (+$150B)
Research: None
-Italy contributes its usual overdonation of $200B to NHON. (-$200B)
-Vatican City joins NHON, but it is little more than a gesture as the tiny nation is obviously unable to contribute the funds required of it.
-$150B is given to West Ukraine. (-$150B)
-The rest is donated to the USA in light of their recent nuclear crisis. (-$1550)

USA; 2700B (+550B Income)
Sizeable, Sizeable, Veteran, Revolting, Impoverished
Trade Pacts: Korea (+$100B) Canada (+$150B) Saudi Arabia (+$150B)
Research: Better Stealth Fighter (Fall 2020)
-The US stays oddly idle after faced with catastrophe. Perhaps the President is in shock?
-The US receives contributions from Italy and the IDC, $1550B from the former and $600B from the latter. The US government and people are very, very thankful. (+$2150B)
-Radiation takes its toll, eliminating even more of the American population.
-Alaska and Hawaii, after massive demonstrations in Anchorage and Honolulu respectively, secede from the US and form their own originally-named nations of Alaska and Hawaii. This is another blow to the US economy as these are some of the few American areas with very little damage. (Stability Decrease, Economic Decrease)
-Canada and Mexico are hit hard as well, with areas such as Vancouver and Tijuana which are very close to nuked American centers of population suffering the most.

China; 2300B (+700B Income)
Huge (1/3 to Enormous), Big, Professional, Solid, Affluent [Has Superpower Status!]
Trade Pacts: Japan (+$150B) Saudi Arabia (+$150B) Korea (+$150B)
Research: Better Satellites (Done Summer 2021)
-China spends money on researching superior satellites; more accurate surveillance, less chance of failure, and better armor against Earth-based missile attacks. The testing location for much of the new equipment is located at the new IDC base in Turkey. (-$700B)

Germany; 650B (+650B Income)
Mediocre, Sizeable, Specialist (partway to Invincible), Guarded, Prosperous
Trade Pacts: Spain (+$150B) Australia (+$150B)
Research: Anti-Nuke Turrets (Winter 2020)
-Germany’s leader, cornered in a small town declared the provisional capital as coalition troops were closing in, writes his suicide note in a bombed-out apartment building with only the bottom two floors still mostly intact. “I, GotterakaThing, Premier of Germany, have failed in my goal of advancing the power and wealth of the German nation and becoming a positive force in the world, assisting the German people and the people of other nations. I had overstretched my power and foolishly tempted invasion, putting my people’s lives in danger. Even worse, as I was faced with defeat on the battlefield, I made the utterly dishonorable and despicable decision to order nuclear strikes on the American nation in hopes of convincing them to end the war, perhaps in fear of further casualties. I see now that I was wrong to act as I did; killing millions just to remain in power. It is on this note that I end my life; encircled by the enemy, with no escape, and remorseful and despondent. I do not seek forgiveness by person mortal or divine. I merely wish to make things right, in one final way.” As the town was captured, Germany’s leader was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound from his German-manufactured sidearm.
-Germany destroys its research on Anti-Nuke Turrets, and the technology is lost to the world.
-The great nation of Germany has ceased to exist, and its section will be depreciated next round.

-Saudi Arabia spends $500B on improving the size of its military. It gets about a third of the way. (-$500B)

I’ll get on that eventually.

Fall 2019

World
-An uneventful season; people are grateful for the uneventfulness. Except for the ones in the US. They’re more worried about not getting eaten by giant mutant bears.

Armenia; 0B (+150B Income)
Mediocre, Sizeable, Trained, Solid, Poor (near Average)
Trade Pacts: None
Research: None
-Armenia, like Mexico, seeks to improve its new land and make it suitable for further economic, ahem, exploitation by the Armenian government. One way Armenia seeks to do this is by taxing the new citizens. Right now, it is estimated that 70% of the new Armenians are not “in the system” so to speak, and thus will not pay taxes. Armenian income for this quarter is shifted towards getting these people in files and documents, so that Armenia’s well-funded ARSE (Armenian Revenue SErvice) can track them down and extract their untapped resource, I mean, gather rightful Armenian taxes. (-$400B)

Turkey; 0B (+300B Income)
Sizeable, Sizeable, Veteran, Stable (partway to Guarded), Affluent

Sizeable, Undersized, Veteran, Solid, Affluent (near Prosperous)
Trade Pacts: None

-Mexico, after another heavy round of investments into German land gets very close to Prosperous economic level, but falls just short. (-$300B)

Trade Pacts: Chile (+$150B) Afghanistan (+$50B)

-UFoW asks Alaska if they wish to join. To put it lightly, no.
-UFoW assimilates the cleared lands under its control. From now on, this will be an automatic action. (-$150B)
-UFoW clears Azerbaijan’s radiation in exchange for its union with UFoW. (-$150B)

Research: Better Stealth Fighter (Fall 2020)
-The American President feels a ghostly German presence near him. Spooooooooky!
-The USA cedes its captured German territory to Brazil in exchange for $750 billion. Brazil receives some ire for this transaction, as other nations donated similar or greater amounts for nothing. (+$750B)
-The USA makes a Herculean effort to clean up radiation, spending a record-breaking [I believe, I forget UFoW’s numbers] 3.8 trillion dollars on the cleanup efforts after many nations, especially the generous country of Italy, chipped in. Because of the USA’s delayed response, the Northeast from DC up is essentially uninhabitable, except for the very north of Maine. Texas has also been absolutely obliterated. The cleanup efforts are focused on preserving California, Florida, the South, the Midwest (excepting Colorado) and Oregon from radiation; other areas are essentially sacrificed. Minneapolis, chosen for its faraway location from any nuke sites, has become the provisional capital. The cleanup efforts are successful; a fair amount of California and Florida is saved and the rest is entirely successful except for some of the Eastern midwest near Indianapolis, the areas around Colorado, and Oklahoma and Louisiana because of their proximity to Texas. Stability is also invested in, and is boosted back up to Unstable, preventing further secession. (-$3.8T, Stability Increase)

-Brazil pays the ALAN tax. (-$150B)
-Brazil buys the USA’s German territories for a not-so-hefty sum of $750 billion. There are small demonstrations in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo (because those are the three Brazilian cities I know, why else?) protesting the government’s apparent lack of generosity, but Brazilian government officials maintain that Brazil is still being incredibly helpful compared to most nations who didn’t do a thing.

-Spain spends all its damn money (to quote the Spanish head of state) on improving the general logistics and organization of the military, general training emphasizing discipline, and better focus on leadership where weak generals are weeded out and young officers that show potential are mentored in order to turn them into great leaders. The military’s power gets very, very close to Specialist. (-$1600B)

I heard that substitutes are being accepted (thank god for literacy, amirite? no? nothing? c’mon guys… D:). So I would like to be added as a substitute, assuming this is the sign-up area for that sort of thing, which it appears to be to my untrained eye(s).

It’s nice to see that our world’s leaders are working together on solutions that will both entertain and devastate the people of the world.
