GM Note: In the year 1926, I shall be changing the way orders are submitted. It was not made clear this turn as I received some interesting combinations. In doing this, I shall be borrowing from World in Revolution: 1815. Great Powers, nations ranked 1-8, shall be entitled to 1 Taxation Order, 1 National Focus Order, 3 Normal Orders, 4 War Orders/Lines of a Warplan, 2 Colonial Orders, and 1 Treaty Order. Every other nation is entitled to 1 Taxation Order, 1 National Focus, 2 Normal Orders, 3 War Orders/Lines of a War Plan, 1 Colonial Order, and 1 Treaty Order.

National Focuses, as you may guess, are new. They are special orders that you can place that will never roll below a 4. In most cases this means it is a guaranteed success, just depends on how much it costs. For the purpose of this game, you may NOT set a National Focus on anything having to do with the Military or Warfare. Anything else is completely open.

Hi Fry! I would gladly take any of those 2 nations. I cannot connect to IRC until this night or tomorrow, though.

January - December 1925


Europe​

The aftermath of the explosion in the British Midlands did not deter the men and women who were developing the weapons of war for the British Empire. Armoured Cars soon rolled off the charred and burned factory floor, ready to help support infantry, as well as their own assaults, opening up a new form of warfare for the British Army to develop.
[-100,000,000 $ to the United Kingdom. +50 Mobile Units in 1 turn. +1 Army Level if Mobile Warfare developed.]

While the British Foreign Office had prepared a memo to allow the ships and supplies of Scandinavia safe passage through British waters and in British ports, it was never cleared and signed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. When a Scandinavian ship approached the British Military Port of Malta, thinking it had full clearance, was turned away by the British Navy, where it ran out of fuel, and was set adrift in the Mediterranean, before slamming into the coast of France. Local commune leaders quickly scavenged, scuttled, and dismantled the ship, while at the same time sending the Scandinavians back home.
[-5% Equipment to Scandinavia. +5% Equipment to France.]

A legislative overhaul of the British Welfare system, giving more benefits to those unemployed and those with lower incomes, was boosted, while at the same time some waste was cut out, and the overall system was streamlined. However, even with all of these improvements, it did cost more to operate at the end of the day.
[+0.50 $ to Bureaucracy per Person to the United Kingdom.]

Across the United Kingdom, shipyards burst into activity as the Parliament passes the Royal Navy Act of 1925, which was fully focused on creating a massive, expansive, and huge new venture into the Navy, where once again, the British Empire would rule the waves, for another century. The expansion was so massive, it would take many years to finish, but once it did, the British Empire would be the undisputed master on the Seas, far outpacing even the United States.
[-750,000,000 $ to the United Kingdom. +200 Destroyers in 2 turns. +100 Cruisers in 3 turns. +50 Submarines in 3 turns. +5 Battleships in 3 turns. +10 Escort Carriers in 4 turns.]

One of the many active Shipyards across the Nation.​

While the Admiralty was focused on the actions of the Navy, the next action of the Labour Government did not have that much attention put into it. With the war in the Pacific dragging on, and the War in the Middle East becoming a drain, and the huge blow to morale with the loss of Palestine, the men at power did not go through with the Prime Minister’s request to expand the British Air Force.

The First World Congress of the Communist International is held in Paris, France, to display the might of the Communist world-wide movement. From across the world, representatives of Communist Governments, as well as Communist Parties, the largest of which was the Communist Party of Belgium, where they met to establish guidelines and rights of all Communist Nations. Notably absent were representatives from the communist Russians, who still took the snub as a direct threat against them. It was such a success, that the French Government moved forward with broadcasts into Luxembourg and Wallonia, with the ideals and promise of Communism. The Communist Party of Belgium was able to win almost thirty percent of the seats in the Belgian elections, instantly causing an anti-Communist alliance against them.
[-100,000,000 $ to France. +165 Prestige to France. Communist Support growing in Latin America and Western Europe.]

A major announcement, coming off the heels of, what was now called the Congress of the Workers, the French Government announced the “Arsenal of Equality” Initiative. In it, it would provide military and material support for any and all Communist nations, and Communist movements. Although a large amount of money was spent on this initiative, it was sure to help the United Communes in the future, as well as most other Communist nations in the world, including the Communes of Colombia.
[-165,000,000 $ to France. +200 Industry to France in 1 turn.]

The Women’s Congress is established in Lyons, France, and the French Government quickly uses it to rise it up to official status in the French Government. Its role will be to decide upon issues affecting Women, and to help bring Gender Equality to the nation, which so sorely lacked it.
[-50,000,000 $ to France. +8% Public Support to France.]

The United Communes of France, in full interest in keeping to their treaty obligations, began to build more ships for the People’s Navy, enough in order to ensure control over its national water boundaries, and to make sure it could provide a strike against an enemy nation that would threaten them. The first ship is expected to file out of the slips by the next year. Some older, unneeded ships were also mothballed to help save money.
[-60,000,000 $ to France. +60 Destroyers to France in 2 turns. +10 Cruisers to France in 2 turns. +80 Transport Ships to France in 1 turn. -50 Coastal Gunboats to France.]

The Treaty of Calais is signed between the Netherlands and the United Communes. In it, French Arms began to flow up north, where those weapons, as well as some advisors from the French Army, began to be used and integrated into the Dutch Military. Such an injection helped them a large amount, with their military being better trained, and better equipment being brought to the soldiers in the East Indies.
[-75,000,000 $ to France. +1 Army Level to the Netherlands. +12% Equipment to the Netherlands.]

The Kingdom of Belgium attempts to invest into the aeronautics industry, but quickly fall prey to the same fate that plagued their neighbour to the North. Many of the airplanes began to simply crash as they did not have the lift needed to stay in the air. The idea is scrapped as the public begins to mount an outcry against it.
[-30,000,000 $ to Belgium. -18% Public Support to Belgium.]

While the Government moved on from the aeronautics industry to the manufacturing sector, more specifically the military division of the nation’s industrial output, the King is devastated when he learns one of his own projects, the expansion of a large armaments industry, has no money in it at all, as much of it was taken by the Communist Party of Belgium, to help fund their own party, and to help spread communism in the country.
[-65,000,000 $ to Belgium.]

Jules Bordet falls gravely ill after doing research into immunization and other advancements in the medical industry. While he was expected to recover, his illness was a complete surprise to the medical world, and to the country, who they viewed as a national symbol.
[-20,000,000 $ to Belgium.]

After the recent events in Hungary, the King is determined to sign the Agreements of Hódmezővásárhely, but the Belgian Government refuses entirely, and threatens a Constitutional Convention to modify the King’s power so he could not do it himself . He steps down from it, and the Agreements remain unsigned.

The Belgian Government does move to sign the Treaty of Oostende, and the American Ambassador to sign it does not show up at all, leaving the Belgians confused as to why the Americans would bow out of the agreement at the last moment.

The Belgian Government does announce a new tax rate, however, which raised the income tax from a low rate of two percent, to a slightly higher and reasonable rate of seven and a half percent.
[Income Tax Rate set to 7.5% in Belgium.]

The Dutch General Staff commissions a report on asymmetric warfare, but the Generals involved had no experience or knowledge of the warfare in the East Indies, so any of the progress they would have made wouldn’t have an effect on what the Dutch soldiers were doing in the Pacific.

The Dutch Shipyards are once again put into action to replace the submarines that would be lost during the year. They estimated it would be about ten submarines, so fifteen were ordered, laid down, and expected to be finished within the year.
[-7,500,000 $ to the Netherlands. +15 Submarines to the Netherlands in 1 turn.]

Due to a bureaucratic error, the Dutch Government does not give out the expected contracts for oil shale mining, and the issue is put off until the next year.

The Dutch Fringe Division decides to try and look into Nuclear Physics, but they had gotten information from Black Mesa that was blatantly wrong, and all the money that was put into it seemed to do nothing to advance their knowledge.
[-35,000,000 $ to the Netherlands.]

The Italian Government decides to begin construction beautiful cathedrals in Milan and Naples, as well as funding some smaller churches throughout the nation. The Vatican is more than overjoyed with the construction of the ‘Twin Cathedrals,’ as progress goes extremely well, and wealthy Catholics donate large amounts of money to their construction. Throughout Italy, the Twin Cathedrals become a symbol of national pride, piety, and hope.
[-50,000,000 $, +9% Public Support, Twin Cathedrals 1/4 completed to Italy.]

With the nation fascinated by the construction of the Twin Cathedrals, the Italian Government tries to get investors’ attention by spending to increase the national currency’s stability and provide a stable market. Most of the investors donate their money to the Cathedrals instead, and no one notices the initiative, but fortunately this was noticed early on, and most of the budget was saved.
[-15,000,000 $ to Italy.]

President Facta then tried to use Italy’s pious feelings as the center of a public campaign to promote population. The campaign reminded Italians the official dogma of the Holy Mother Church was that marriage was for procreation. Unfortunately, many Italians were feeling particularly pious that year, choosing to avoid copulation altogether, as chastity was a Church teaching as well.
[-10,000,000 $, -.2% Population Growth to Italy.]

Facta’s luck turned when his newly-proposed program to expand Italian agriculture was met with multi-partisan support. Its passage meant a large government investment in the expansion of Italian farms. With it, many farms abandon from the Great War were restored to production, and Italy became a food exporter, as it was able to feed its entire population.
[-100,000,000 $, +170 Agriculture to Italy.]

Italian diplomats returned from Algeria with a stunning success: they had managed to win reparations in the peace treaty they signed. The Treaty of Oran gave Italy a huge reparations payment of $2,000,000 in lump sum. This was a cause for celebration throughout the nation as success for the republic.
[+2,000,000 $ to Italy.]

The Italian military began construction of a series of fortifications throughout its Northern African holdings, securing large portions of the colony from raiders. This meant the response time to any attacks or raids was significantly reduced, and Italy firmly controlled Libya, as well as extended control to the other lands it occupied. The stability and protection the colonial economies now enjoyed led to a noticeable increase in commerce, and Italian investors looked toward the colony to open up mining and extracting companies.
[-15,000,000 $ to Italy, forts throughout North African colonies, +75 Commercial to Italy.]

The Swiss government, in hopes to increase income in Monaco, invests in the creation of the Monaco Grand Prix. This oddity was a car race, like a horse race but with cars. The novel idea attracted many wealthy patrons, and the government followed this up with investments in swanky new hotels with casinos adjourning them, expanding the palace for tours and the swankiest hotel experience, and expanding the port for commercial traffic. The economic benefit was enormous, but the price tag was similarly large.
[-50,000,000 $, +10 Commercial, +25 Commercial in one turn, +30 Commercial in two turns to Switzerland.]

Many Black Mesa projects, including nuclear research and research into a ‘picture radio,’ were put on hold, as the scientists working there all took a holiday to bustling Monaco. By the time the Swiss government was able to get them back to work, the year was nearly over with not much done.

Attempts to build a radio network throughout Switzerland go poorly, as the initial towers are knocked down by an avalanche in the mountains, costing the Swiss government millions in dollars and months in work. By years end, it had one tower repaired. A second avalanche fixed that.
[-20,000,000 $ to Switzerland.]

Scandinavian attempts to complete integration of all the national provinces continues to be a drag upon the national unity of the Empire, with the Finnish having severe concerns about the Imperial Government. Their objections were lobbied to the Emperor himself, which he has yet to review.
[-9% Public Support to Scandinavia.]

Emperor Gustav tours the country in an attempt to promote Unity, but he only visits Sweden and Denmark, much to the ire of Finland and Norway. While he promises he will visit one day, the people of Sweden and Denmark highly support the new government.
[+21% Public Support to Sweden.]

The German High Command once again invests into the creation of a cheap and efficient sub-machine gun. It was to fire pistol rounds, and it was a greatly improved and better version of the older model, made 20 years ago, and very quickly seemed to be the direction in which the German Army was moving.
[-346,000,000 $ to the German Empire. +1 Army Level to the German Empire in 2 turns.]

A German Soldier in Berlin with the MP-25.​

The German Volkswagen, the Government-run automobile manufacturer gets an injection of funds by the German Government to try and make it more efficient and expand production. Mercedes-Benz does the same to try and ensure that their cars keep up with the Government business. German automobile production is expected to become one of the largest in the world in just a few year’s time.
[-75,000,000 $ to the German Empire. +45 Commercial to the German Empire in 2 turns. +20 Industry to the German Empire in 2 turns.]

A directive by the Reichstag was brought about to help fund and build Autobahns across the country, to allow German car owners to drive across the country efficiently and effectively. The SPD Government, focused on trying to expand the welfare program they had, took this opportunity to load the bill up with their pet projects, so much so that none of the roadwork had funding left after all of the different projects were completed. Taxes were also raised to help fund this project, and the projected gaps in spending.
[-450,000,000 $ to the German Empire. +2$ Bureaucracy per Person to the German Empire. Income Tax Rate set to 15% in the German Empire.]

Kaiser Wilhelm III gives a stirring speech to the Reichstag, attempting to drive himself as the unifying force in the nation. The Socialists and the Conservatives, while they have their grievances, do agree to find some common ground. They are all Germans, and they all do support the Kaiser. This goes beyond the members of the Reichstag, and spreads across the nation.
[+18% Public Support to the German Empire.]

The inefficient and unproductive German Agriculture section gets a boost as the Reichstag brings about bills to help land management, mechanisation, and more productive farming practices. The proposed changes did cost the government money in subsidies, but it would help the farming sector in leaps and bounds in the long run.
[-175,000,000 $ to the German Empire. +1$ Bureaucracy per Person to the German Empire. +100 Agrilcuture to the German Empire in 3 turns.]

The Hungarian government begins the year strong as it strikes out to repair the economy following the previous year’s economic heart attack. It begins with the creation of Munkaadók és Gyáriparosok Országos Szövetsége, a board of large companies and industries. The MGOS, along with the Hungarian National Bank and a council made up of workers’ organizations, was christened the Nemzeti Gazdasági Bizottság (National Economic Board). The NGB quickly became the most powerful organization in Hungary, more so than the government, and possibly the Balkans. It elected Tamás Balogh, a young but famous leftist political economist as its President. As confidence in Balogh and the NGB built up, confidence in the Hungarian economy grew, and stability began to rise.
[+12 Economic Stability to Hungary.]

President Károlyi continued his Program for National Restoration. Again, results were as spectacular as last year, as public works committees throughout the nation built infrastructure and fought unemployment. As more and more people had jobs, popular support for the government’s hands-on and active approach grew. After Károlyi asked Balogh to have the NGB surprise the works, they were unexpectedly efficient, though the price tag was still rather high.
[-665,000,000 $, +6% Public Support, +2 Infrastructure in one turn, +2 Infrastructure in 2 turns to Hungary.]

The Károlyi then launches a campaign called ‘National Struggle Begins in the Bedchambers of the Nation.’ Hungarian legislators laughed at him, then voted down the campaign, feeling the money was needed elsewhere and the campaign would be ineffective.

Soon after the creation of the Nemzeti Gazdasági Bizottság, Balogh would see it through its first crisis. After the Hungarian National Bank refused to adhere to the NGB’s recommendations on the new nationalized industries, and Balogh crushed it, bringing it, the Munkaadók és Gyáriparosok Országos Szövetsége, and Hungarian labor organizations into line with NGB policy. This consolidation of power was initially viewed with ire by capitalists, but after Balogh simplified all the organizations, slashed redundant ones, and streamlined the organization’s bureaucracy, the NGB became a powerful and effective organization. It was restructured so the it held five representatives from the Hungarian National Bank, and a representative from the management and labor of each industry. This body elected a president who would serve for a five-year term. All organizations that were members of the Nemzeti Gazdasági Bizottság would pay dues to keep it going and follow its decisions. Balogh was re-elected following the restructuring, unanimously and with many outsiders’ support. This new and simplified corporatist structure led to almost every major company and labor union, simplifying the organization of the Hungarian economy and leading to a major boost in stability.
[+20 Economic Stability to Hungary.]

Károlyi then asked for the income tax rate to be raised to 12%. While initial worries rose over if the measure could be passed, the NGB lent its support to the measure, and the bill passed with a significant majority.
[Income Tax Rate set to 12% for Hungary.]

Soon after Balogh’s re-election, the Hungarian government looked to sign the Agreements of Hódmezővásárhely, a series of agreements with the companies and countries affected by the nationalizations done by the Hungarian National Bank the previous year. Balogh and the NGB, who had taken control of the industries upon restructuring, blocked the Agreements, instead deciding to valuate the property nationalized on the day of nationalization, and create a repayment plan as to keep control of the industries but satisfy the country’s international obligations. The NGB valued the properties at the following values: $200 million owed to Belgium and to Chile, $300 million owed to the US companies and to Scandinavia, and $500 million owed to Venezuela, for a staggering $1.5 billion in total value owed. Obviously, this was not possible to pay in lump sum, so the NGB took the following steps. First, it gave Venezuela and Scandinavia their gold back, paying them in full. Next, it pledged to pay Belgium and Chile each $25 million a year until the debt was resolved, and the US companies $50 million each until the debt was resolved. While the cost would be enormous, faith was restored in the Hungarian economy, as capitalists noted the debts would be repaid, and a new stability came back.
[-100,000,000 $, +20 Economic Stability to Hungary, +25,000,0000 $ to Belgium, +25,000,000 $ to Chile, +300,000,000 $ to Scandinavia, +500,000,000 $ to Venezuela.]

In keeping with the Grand Ideas of Transcendence, the Czechoslovak Government begins to reform along the lines of keeping government workers busy and involved, while at the same time cutting costs. While a lot of waste is removed, not everyone believes in the ideas of Transcendence, and many departments will act wastefully.
[-1$ Bureaucracy per Person to Czechoslovakia.]

In efforts to try and establish a modern police force, the Czechoslovak Government attempts to use new and innovative techniques at finding criminals, and preventing crimes. Scientists were invited to take part in this new program, as a method of criminal research, they would apply some of their findings to help fight crime. The effects are not currently known, but the public view of it is seen positively.
[+9% Public Support to Czechoslovakia. -45,000,000 $ to Czechoslovakia.]

Rocket research continues in Czechoslovakia, along with the Poles, and in the quiet fields of Slovakia, they are able to create a small test-launch of a rocket. It traveled for about 20km before slamming down into the Earth. The destructive potential of such an idea is quickly covered up, and the two nations continue to peacefully work on ways for practical application.
[-50,000,000 $ from Poland and Czechoslovakia. Rocket Research advances 2 stages.]

New oil fields are set up in Czechoslovakia to help deal with the demand for rocket fuel and automobile fuel. The recent completion of the highway system gave people incentive to travel around the country. The refining process would soon bring petrol to the people of the country, to which they would greatly appreciate.
[-37,000,000 $ to Czechoslovakia. +45 Industry to Czechoslovakia in 1 turn.]

A small tax is placed on luxury products and services in the nation, intended to get slightly more taxes out of the wealthy in the country. It brings in some more money, and there are no objections to it.
[Duty & Excise Taxes set to 17% in Czechoslovakia.]

Polish diplomats scour the globe to try and find a nation willing to invest into Poland, but no such nation is found to the dismay of the President and his diplomatic staff.

The Polish Government loosens regulations and taxes on the Commercial sector of the country, hoping to spur investment into the Financial sector as well as some smaller businesses. The President signed the bill into law, officially enacting it into law, helping the sector expand.
[+0.5% Commercial Growth to Poland. Duty & Excise Taxes set to 13% in Poland.]

An exodus of wealthy investors in Hungary pack up and move north to Poland, where the more business-friendly environment allows them more room to grow. Many businesses follow the Hungarian investors into Poland.
[-20 Commercial to Hungary. +20 Commercial to Poland. -1,240 Population to Hungary. +1,240 Population to Poland.]

Attempts to create Armoured Cars are met with failure in Poland as the prototype falls apart when it was put into gear, and the German-made truck was declared to be complete garbage.
[-26,000,000 $ to Poland.]

With the deteriorating conditions in the Ukraine, elections are held. The incumbent Government is thrown straight out, and the Communists gain a firm showing, but the election goes to a member of the Ukraine’s Totalist party, called “Action, Now!”. The new government quickly gets to work trying to fix the country. Their first actions is to bring in Foreign Economists, but the only ones they could find who were willing to travel to the country were from Siam. The simple fact that the Government was doing something made the people more at ease. Tariffs are also raised to help the economy.
[+15% Economic Stability to the Ukraine. Tariffs set to 60% in the Ukraine.]

Totalists spread out across the country, trying to preach at how bad Communism and the Bolsheviks are. One of them is caught off the record saying that “Communism would do this country a lot of good.” This remark quickly spreads, as Communist support swells.

The government tries to rectify this by giving speeches about Stalinism and how bad it was, but Stalin barely had control of the country and many were unsure and did not know who he was or what he does. The message has no effect.

In the Russian Federation, the government begins to try and send out words of inspiration to the soldiers and the people, saying that the Bolshevists will stop at nothing to destroy all their property and the Communists will take control of it all. Unfortunately for the Tsar, he was the largest landowner in all of Russia, along with the members of his aristocracy, and the message resounded to a call to arms to protect his own land. This installed bitterness in the population, and caused some of the soldiers to defect from the Russian Army, joining the Soviets.
[-3,530 Regulars to the Russian Federation. +3,530 Regulars to Soviet Russia.]

The Russian Government attempts to inform the Persians that the railway belongs to the Tsar, when in fact it belongs to the Persians, as it was funded by the British, built by the Persians, and they allowed the Russians to transport cargo on it. Such a move caused the Persians, along with the American invading them, to declare support for Soviet Russia, and prevent the Russians from using the railway.

As this was unfolding, Soviet Russia under Stalin attempts to send a large, massive propaganda attack on the lands owned by Tsar Cyril, saying he is nothing more than a puppet of the Germans and the Americans, and that Stalin will be the leader of all of Russia. As it would be, the propaganda was released on land already owned by the Soviets, and had no impact against the enemy, only reinforcing their ideas that Stalin was brainwashing their own citizens.

Tsar Boris used the recent developments to show that both the Russian Federation and Soviet Russia could not control nor be the rightful rulers of Russia. While he tries to target Byelorussians, his attention turns instead to Russians and Ukrainians. He is able to recruit a decent amount of people for his cause.
[+34,235 Militia to the Russian Empire.]

Along the Soviet-Federation front, the Russian Generals begin an offensive against the Soviets, using some of their new Armoured Cars. The Soviets are able to see them approaching, and quickly begin to bombard the area. Not many of the cars are hit, but the resulting craters are so large that it renders some of them useless. They are able to establish a breakthrough on one front, although it is soon pushed back by Soviet Forces. The Russians simply didn’t have enough manpower to move the lines forward or back any measurable amount. The promised American support never came, as they instead decided to pay off the Persians as an apology for infringing on their territory.
[-550,000,000 $ to the United States. -20 Mobile Units to Russia. -9,394 Militia to the Russian Federation. -5,492 Regulars to Soviet Russia.]

In Belarus, the lack of a Russian Army lead the Soviets to undertake a crushing offensive into the area, putting it fully under its control. The Ukrainian elements of the Soviet Army quickly spread across the Ukraine, spreading their message. The Ukrainian Army, now mutinying against the Totalist Government, simply wait in Kiev as the Soviet forces march, taking them prisoner.
[Ukrainian Army disbanded.]

The Soviets have much less success in fighting the Russian Empire. Their usage of armoured cars along the front works much better, given the fact that the Soviets are not prepared for such a move. The Russians and Romanians began a massive surge, pushing back the Soviets at every battle they meet, until the siege of Kiev, where the Soviets were able to surprise the advancing Russians, and blunted their offensive. The year ended without much change, but a whole lot of lives lost.
[-139,530 Militia to Soviet Russia. -32,523 Regulars to the Russian Empire. -73,032 Militia to the Russian Empire.]

The Balkans/Near East​

Standing before the Romanian government, King Ferdinand I called upon the legislative body to sell another quarter of the government’s assets. The proposed bill is passed overwhelmingly, as the Majestății Sale Partidului Liberal, a market liberal party loyal to the King, was elected to Parliament with a supermajority following the year’s elections. The sales go exceedingly well, and the King is more than pleased with the final total by the end of the year.
[+300,000,000 $, -.25 $ bureaucracy per person to Romania.]

Romanian diplomats spent nearly all year waiting for American aid from the Treaty of Iași, and finally it arrived. Five fighter wings, fifty armored cars, the blueprints for both, a 600,000,000 $ interest-free loan, and the funds to establish a joint Air Force Academy, the bill completely footed by the US. This would be a tremendous boost to the Romanian military, though not until the next year.

The call for war bonds went out again as the Romanian government hoped to pay for its military, one of the largest in the world. Unfortunately, most people that could afford it had bought government assets earlier in the year, so the total war bonds bought were dismal, and it hurt the national mood.

Various armaments start rolling off the Romanian assembly lines to outfit the Romanian army with all the equipment it needs. While the production goes well, many in the Romanian government began wondering how they will pay for producing and maintaining the massive Romanian army.
[-10,000,000 $, +5% Equipment to Romania.]

King Ferdinand requested the Romanian Parliament reduce the tariffs to 5%, and while many agree with the move, and the bill passes, they also worry about the mounting military expenditure, which already was eating up more and more of the Romanian budget and racking up debt.
[Romanian tariff rate set to 5%.]

The Romanian market bids well, as the massive war production leads to factories expanding throughout the country. The boom in the armament industry leads to the Romanian armament industry becoming the supplier for many private security firms across Europe.

The call for more men to fight for the Jihad goes out, and the Muslim world answers, sending a huge new stream of Jihadists to fight for the Caliph and the Ottoman Empire.

The construction of the Trans-Ottoman Railroad continues on schedule. After some minor improvements with design of the railroad and some extensive mapping of the route the railroad was supposed to take, the railroad actually came in with money saved from the annual budget given.
[-200,000,000 $, Trans-Ottoman Railroad 3/5 completed to Ottoman Empire.]

The Caliph demands the mullahs of the Muslim World make a fatwā on the Shah of Persia. The call is somewhat effective. As expected, the mullahs of the Ottoman Empire declare the Shah a traitor to Muhammed and demand a death sentence, but outside the Empire, while many leaned toward the Caliph, not many definite opinions were made. The main effect of this was stiffening the Ottoman Empire’s resolve to spread the Caliphate to the entire Muslim World.
[+7% Public Support to the Ottoman Empire.]

The Ottoman war machine doubles its production of equipment to outfit the now massive Jihadist force the Caliph was currently fielding. The need for supplies is so great the Caliph has more factories built to help supply the army, and there are even rumors of women working in factories building guns to drive the British out of the Middle East. The Ottoman Armament Industry actually expands at an incredible rate, and by year’s-end almost one in every three Ottoman factory was for supplying the military.

Deep in the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom begins a bombing campaign against the industrial cities, ports, and docks of their enemy. Such a massive use of firepower, from both the sea and the air, was none that had ever been seen before. The destruction and devastation that was wrought from it almost completely destroyed the city of Constantinople. The Sultan was forced to flee, as the old underwater cisterns exploded open, collapsing a lot of the city into it. The old Hagia Sofia, a symbol of both Islam and of Orthodoxy, was destroyed by British Bombers. Not even the fighting on the Western Front had seen such devastation as what was brought upon the major industrial centres and some cities of the Ottoman Empire.

Even as these bombs were dropped, the British dropped leaflets along with the Palestinians. They were supposed to show and express that the Ottomans didn’t care about their citizens. The bombing devastation, however, was so bad that no one could possibly listen to the British, and when the news was reported by the BBC, support for the War in the Middle East dropped significantly.

In the Balkans, the Technocratic Wars raged on, and the region’s economy went into cardiac arrest. In Yugoslavia, the redirection of Trans-Asiatic and Central European commerce to Romania and the Black Sea led to a collapse in the Yugoslav commercial infrastructure, and many banks closed thereafter as the construction companies could not pay back their huge loans. The economic woes surged into war-torn Bulgaria and Greece. Fortunately for the Technocrats, many people began to blame the old order, and the depression took the revolutionary Technocratic spark and turned it into a hellfire that threatened to engulf the entirety of the Balkans.

Bitter fighting in Bulgaria for Sofia took up almost six months of fighting and the majority of both sides’ efforts until the summer. The massive Yugoslav offensive at first seemed to be going well, but as the Yugoslav soldiers pays’ kept coming late due to economic woes in Yugoslavia, more and more began to desert. ‘The Summer of the Cog’ began soon after, as a technocratic counter-offensive drove the Yugoslavs out of Bulgaria. The Tsar of Bulgaria and his chief officers were promptly executed, and the rest of the reactionary forces were granted amnesty. Chairman Blagoev soon began to prepare to send aid to help the Greeks drive out the reactionary forces occupying their country.
[Technocratic Union of Bulgaria takes control of Bulgaria.]

Despite the war fervor, calls for veterans from past wars to join the ranks of the Technocratic revolutionaries as officers go unanswered, as most are already serving for the King of Greece, and the veterans who do enlist are not enough to make a real impact.

The Greek revolutionaries got their break later on when a call for ethnic Macedonians and Bulgarians to harass and cut off the Yugoslav supply lines is answered beyond anything they could have dreamed. A massive uprising takes place, seizing huge amounts of Yugoslav equipment, and harassing and hurting further attempts to resupply the stranded Yugoslav army. With improved Yugoslav weapons, the revolutionaries were even more a potent force.
[+5% Equipment, +1 Army level to the Technocratic Union of Greece.]

Attempts to get women to participate in the revolution is met with staunch opposition. After the horror and slaughter they saw last year, many mothers’ organizations hold a boycott of any attempt to further put women in harm’s way.

Andreas Michalakopoulos called for the reactionary forces to surrender, offering amnesty to those that did. After the shock of the destruction of Kalamata, and hearing that King Constantine I had offered Greek land to save his rule, a completely collapse of the reactionary side ensued. King Constantine and his closest supporters boarded a Yugoslav naval vessel and fled to Yugoslavia, declaring themselves the Greek government-in-exile. This quickly led to the Technocratic forces establishing control over Athens and all of Greece, after a few minor battles to push out the stranded Yugoslavs.
[-13,049 conscripts, the Technocratic Union of Greece controls all of Greece.]

The Greek Navy then steamed out of port as a single large fleet of seven cruisers, ten destroyers, and fifty coastal ships to fight off the Yugoslav Navy. While the Yugoslav Navy was bigger and had more modern ships, its sailors had not been paid in months and were running low on rations. Instead of a battle of naval guns, it was a battle of handguns, as Yugoslav sailors mutinied. While the Yugoslav Navy retained control of all of its cruisers, twenty of its destroyers were taken over by the mutineers. The ensuing battle was bloody, but the end result was a Greek victory as the Yugoslav ships retreated back to Yugoslav territorial waters. Perhaps the bigger victory was having five Yugoslavs ships, full of newly-converted technocrats, willing to spread the revolution to the homeland...
[-1 Cruiser, -6 Destroyers to Greece, 5 Technocratic Yugoslav Destroyers accompany the Greek fleet.]

The Palestinian Air Force attempts to use hot air balloons to drop propaganda leaflets throughout the Ottoman Empire. Suddenly it realizes it doesn’t exist, and nothing gets done.

The Palestinian Army, which does exist, looks to recruit many new soldiers to fight against the Ottomans. They used the leaflets the Air Force was supposed to drop as their recruitment campaign, and are more than pleased with the turnout of the year’s recruitment drive.
[-10,000,000 $, +50,000 Regulars to Palestine.]

The Palestinian Central Command is too busy moving itself to Egypt and re-establishing the lines of command after the move to do any studying of tactics that year. They use the budget for a study for the move, and later are disappointed when they realize they left some shiny medals in Palestine.
[-5,000,000 $ to Palestine.]

In Tel Aviv, currently controlled by the Ottomans, Scandinavian money, arms, and equipment is quickly flooded in, along with a detachment of Imperial Marines. The Marines see that the Ottomans are fast approaching for their goods, and quickly begin to fire upon them, murdering most, and causing the Ottoman Commander to give a halt to the operations. Only the port itself is under control of Scandinavia, who now finds themselves at war with the Ottoman Empire.
[-102 Regulars to Scandinavia. -242 Militia to the Ottoman Empire.]

The Palestinian Central Command later is too busy using secret operatives to find their medals, which are in occupied territories. The operatives succeed in their operation, killing an Ottoman soldier who had found the medals, and then returning home. Unfortunately for Palestine, the costs were ridiculous, and the plans to make the Lee-Enfield rifle the standard-issue for the Army had to be scrapped and put off until the next year.
[-30,000,000 $ to Palestine. -1 Regular to the Ottoman Empire.]

With the capture of the entire state, Jewish Palestinians, many of whom now feared the Caliphate, quickly load themselves onto ships, and using the Palestinian Flag, quickly get through the Suez Canal, before settling on the island of La Réunion.

North America​

The Treaty of Montreal is signed between Canada and the United Kingdom, bring peace to Canada for the first time in a few years. In the peace agreement, Canada was forced to accept the independence of Quebec, and drop the claims she had on her, but Canada was given trading rights on the St. Lawrence Seaway. With this, the British were able to claim a victory, and the Canadians were forced to see it as a slight defeat, even with the slight monetary gain they got.

As a joke, the Canadian Government tries to issue a report on Artillery Doctrines, and some of the generals make a fake plan in which they advocate for the artillery to fire upon their own soldiers to make them go faster. During a live-fire exercise this was advocated and done, to where it killed soldiers and members of the Canadian High Command.

A new factory is opened in Ottowa using government money. It is expected to churn out weapons of war for the Government. Likewise, in Northern Canada, along the Hudson Bay, a new ship-building industry, specialising in the creation of Icebreakers, is also formed.

The Roosevelt Memorial is constructed and dedicated in Washington, D.C. to the slain President Roosevelt. It was a huge hall, with a marble statue of President Roosevelt, standing erect and starring forward inside. Along the walls were inscribed the various sayings and speeches he gave during his career. The dedication was one of the grandest in the country, and even the world.

The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is proposed in Congress, allowing for citizens of Washington D.C. to vote for President, and be represented in the Electoral College. The movement gains some traction, but no real support is gained by the states themselves, leaving President Coolidge with the option of pushing it again in the next year.

The United States Navy, leary of events around the world, and having a friendly rivalry with the United Kingdom, begin the construction of another round of ships. Two new Battleships of the Roosevelt-class, a brand new, bigger, better, and larger battleship than the previous class. It was a massive and complete undertaking, one that would make the United States Navy powerful and strong.

Tax Rates in Venezuela are readjusted, mostly the Industrial Tax. It was eliminated by and order of the Government. The sudden change allowed for a good growth in the industrial sector, as many capitalists rush to this tax-free industry.
[Industrial Taxes set to 0% in Venezuela. +2.5% Industrial Growth to Venezuela.]

The Venezuelans order than the Army should be improved, “At all expenses.” Such words were gold to the Military, and they quickly took their blank cheques and began to spend as much money as they desired. The effects, however, were very very good for the military. They quickly hire the best officers from around the world, as well equipment from the United States as Brazil, to help the Army along.

A large order for transport ships is placed at the DIANCA shipyards, with the intention of getting them within the year this plan quickly falls through, as budget cuts and some delays for private shipping quickly turn the process into a multi-year task.

The Venezuelan Transport ships arrive in Rio to pick up Brazilian soldiers for the invasion of Colombia, but none are found to be transported back. The Venezuelan Generals took the opportunity anyway, and surged into Colombia. Coastal city after coastal city fell to the Venezuelans, as much of the Colombian Army was massing at the Peruvian border, ready to stage an invasion. The Venezuelans, without any of the Brazilians, quickly become the hero of South America, advancing deep and far into Colombia, crushing resistance, and running well ahead of the supply lines. Such events quickly overshadowed the Brazilians previous Pomp and Glory, and thousands looked to Venezuela to see how they accomplished this, including the Germans.

In Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Government establishes the “Academia militar do Brasil”, with the sole purpose of churning out an advanced officer corps for the Army. It was to involve every sergeant to every General, to ensure quick, efficient, and a streamlined command.

The long and slow process of reforming the Brazilian Bureaucracy is long and strenuous, one that the Imperial Government would have to stomach. It was a holdover from the days of the Oligarchs that ran Brazil. When the layoffs and firings started, they took to the streets, claiming that Emperor Pedro III was a corrupt dictator who was bent on destroying the country. This small, but vocal, section of the country had a major impact on public opinion.

As a showing of their national growth and their stable Democracy, President Luis Barros Borgoño is re-elected with an overwhelming and seemingly impossible eighty per cent of the vote. After six recounts, the results are validated, and the opposition is ashamed at having lost so badly.

The continuing Government moves forward with their Naval Upgrades and research, finding new and efficient ways to use the Chilean Navy to defend, and even to attack other navies, if needed. Information was gathered about navies in North America and in Europe for this strange endeavour.

The Chilean National Highway System, along with production of automobiles, is expanded through a joint venture of cheap Government bonds and cooperation with wealthy Capitalists who wished to get a return back from it. Investors from Brazil were able to fully fund a much needed bridge in Northern Chile, which was crowned the Emperor Pedro II Bridge. While it caused some Chileans umbrage, it did benefit the nation as a whole.

Fighting in Egypt intensifies, and although the British sent a good force to combat the rising tide of radicalism, its only power was able to keep Cairo under British control, as well as Northeast Egypt. Sudan issued a full declaration of Independence from Egypt-Sudan and the United Kingdom, and it left unopposed. Radical moslems continued to take control and consolidate parts of Egypt, even after fighting with the United Kingdom.

The city of Dakar in Belgian Africa undergoes a transformation, as it is renamed to Albertville, in honour of the King himself. It was to be a “Model City” in Africa, where it would be installed with the latest sewer systems, transportation infrastructure, and even some factories to help stimulate the local economy. It would soon become the ideal “Model Colony” in Africa, and it reflected well upon the small European nation.

In the former Portuguese colony of Mozambique, the Germans from the North, under the command of Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, begins a lightning campaign with his army of Germans and Natives. They are able to quickly overwhelm the natives who tried to defend their land. They are able to reach the Zambezi River, and proclaim the area for the German Empire. To the South, however, the Brazilians surge up to the North, reaching the Zambezi river as well, and instead of stopping, they simply stepped over it, surging into German land. The sight of Brazilian soldiers in their territory brought the Germans to begin to defend their land. The Germans soundly defeat the Brazilians in a battle along the River, and begin to give chase to them across the river. Lettow-Vorbeck sent a dispatch back to Berlin, simply saying “You have wanted the North, I shall take it all.”

South Africa was declared a complete political safe-haven for those who wished to escape an oppressive regime. A disclaimer was put that they did not wish to have any coloureds come to the country, and were much more open to those of European descent. As it would be, it would seem that many Chinese simply ignored the fact of the matter, and soon, the overwhelming majority of refugees, filling out through the last remaining areas under control by Republican China, that were landing in South Africa were from China.
[-1,427,502 Population to China. +1,427,502 Population to South Africa.]

For all these hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants, new land plans were set up, and in completely unoccupied land, cities suddenly sprung up. Along the eastern coast of South Africa, a natural harbour, one on which no one had yet built, was given away to these new immigrants, and nearly all of them moved to this one place, concentrating in this area. Named Xiejing, it soon became a bustling port province, and helped the South African economy enormously with their various shops, and farms outside the city.

Nicolaas Havenga was appointed the Prime Minister of South Africa, and was able to form a Unity Government. However, his very first action he passed, a resolution to ensure natives could not immigrate to cities, quickly crashes and becomes the final straw for the formerly semi-independent states of Swaziland and Lethoso. Many of their citizens had been moving to the cities to try and get a better job, but this recent banning forced many of them back home. They were able to reform, and communicate with each other, before breaking out in open rebellion, and killing the South African garrison there. Pretoria and Bloemfontein quickly became the targets of this revolt, while the National Party leaders of the two provinces screamed at the Government to do something, President de la Rey declared complete and total martial law, and mobalised the South African Reserves. When December finally reached the country, Pretoria was left burned and charred by the natives, and the two forces quickly converged on Bloemfontein, to decide the fate of the city, and of the rebellion.

The Government of India mobilises its armed forces, to deal with the threat coming from the newly-proclaimed Pakistan, and other moslem peoples in the country. While the army is first met with some failure, they are able to make great advancements in the East, pushing them out, and ensuring that only Pakistan was a threat to India's security.

In the People’s Republic of China, Chairman Mao decrees that the previous years of corruption and ineptitude can no longer stand. During his weekly address to the nation, he says that the taxes upon the incomes of the people shall be raised to a level of fifty percent, only as a measure to try and ensure the country grows bigger and better. While talking, he announced the creation of the People’s Advisory Board, which had the sole goal of rooting out the corruption in the Chinese Government. It would be a few years before it was complete with their overhaul, but the Chairman said it was the best for the nation.

Attempts to expand the Chinese Railway system do not yield any results, as many of the corrupt officials, seeing as their time is done, quickly take the money they can, and run from the country, many heading to Japan, taking their ill-gotten gains, money that should have been used for railroads, with them.
[-50,000,000 $ to China.]

Propaganda showing all of the world’s socialist leaders is quickly commissioned by the Chinese Government, who wish to use it as a rallying call, showing the world that all of the Communists stand united against the forces of Capitalism. The images were useful, coming off of the Congress of the Workers, and served as a call to arms for both the Chinese, and their communist brethren in Siam, India, Siberia, and Japan.

A General Amnesty is ordered to all of those who would be willing to lay down their arms to the Communists, as well as food, water, basic tents, and medical supplies to those who need it.

Even with these people moving to the North, the People’s Liberation Army had a dismal year, unable to push forward enough to make any noticeable difference, as the Republican forces were determined to try and hold their faltering country together. A shipment of Scandinavian weapons shows up in Republican China, which would undoubtedly help them in fighting the Communists. Likewise the United States sends a massive injection of funds to the Republicans, to try and ensure they remain alive. Some of the money, however, gets into the hands of the Communist Chinese.

A massive, full-scale invasion of Manchuria takes place, with the Chinese Army quickly breaking their Army, which was limited by treaty, in the area. The first strike plan severed the connection between Manchuria and Korea, and the Army began to destroy the elements of the Japanese Army inside Manchuria. The entire colony had simply been a resource-extracting deal, and attempts for the Chinese to capture industry did not come to fruition. This sudden and unannounced war shocked the International Community, and served as a rallying cry for the Japanese.

When the Chinese forces attempted to break into Korea, the Japanese quickly brought up their reserves, and meet them head on in their charge. The Korean locals, not wishing to be sent under the control of the Chinese once again, decide to fight for the Japanese, who at the very least were not Communist and enjoyed some sort of prosperity. The Japanese were able to force the Chinese back across the border with Manchuria, and began to push North and West.

The Siamese Government, taking good note of their lack of transportation infrastructure, begin to order the military to begin a huge and vast undertaking into the North, trying to clear a way into the North, specifically into Laos, where many untapped minerals and riches lay. The slashing and burning of a path, as well as the steel of the rails laid down, made the progress rapid and very helpful. The construction itself was cheap and efficient, and would provide a wealth of benefits to the country.

As the Japanese Economy began to feel the effects of the Industrial Rehaul, as well as the devastating Chinese invasion of Manchuria, the Imperial Japanese Navy sponsors a campaign drive to try and drum up money for the year. The campaign is so successful, that the Japanese Government is able to use it to pay for all of this year's’ expenses, and it allowed them to be able to save up some more money for the next year.
[No expenses for 1925. +150,000,000 $ to Japan.]

Foreign Investors are encouraged into Japan, and while it seemed to be a dealbreaker that it was at war with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, some German and American Investors decided that it was wise to invest into Japan, as it was an untapped market in which foreign companies had not been allowed to operate. Mercedes-Benz, Krupp Heavy Industry, American Steel, and Chevrolet quickly make their way into the Japanese Market, with their businesses quickly taking a firm hold in the country, the public backlash was fierce, but the Government’s Treasury accounts made those voices strangely quiet.

[+35,302 Regulars to Japan in 1 turn.]

The Japanese Government attempts to improve the Naval and Military tactics once again, only to find that much of the improvements that could be happening were not acted upon, only because many of the Generals and Admirals that should have been in the Home Islands, were in fact in the Dutch East Indies, helping to fight the war, and win it for Japan.

The main Japanese Admiral in the Pacific, who was the de facto commander of the entire Japanese Armed Forces, is given a report about Air Power, and he immediately an instantly scraps it, saying all the resources should be focused on winning the war, not developing some new technology that would be of no use to them at the moment.

The Japanese open up the year with a brutal and lighting attack upon the rest of the Dutch holdings to the East of the Celebes Islands. Dutch New Guinea is the first to fall, as most of the defenders are just local garrisons and militia, and most had retreated back to Java. The Japanese showed such brutality and speed in this, that when the news reached Batavia, and subsequently reached Amsterdam, the Dutch public became very concerned with these events, and public support for the war began to drop.

The Japanese launch a similar effort on the High Seas, slamming the full force of their fleet into the locations of the Dutch Fleet, but upon arrival, the Japanese find that the Dutch Fleet had already retreated, and was nowhere to be found. The Japanese were able to surprise the Dutch Submarine Fleet, which was refueling, and was able to quickly decimate and sink most of the submarines, but not before they valiantly fought back, taking yet another good chunk of the Japanese fleet with it. This next blow to the Dutch made them even less willing to support the war.

The British Admiral, however, was completely cut off from orders, and was confused by the sudden withdrawal of the Dutch Fleet. The Japanese closed in quickly, crossing the T, and bring the entire British Navy in the area surrounded by the Japanese Ships. The Admiral had no other choice but to surrender to the Japanese. The ships were interned into the Japanese Navy, and the crew sent back to Java under a white flag. The complete abandonment of the Naval aspects in the Pacific left the Japanese as the complete controllers of the area.
[-17 Cruisers to the United Kingdom. -32 Destroyers to the United Kingdom. +17 Cruisers to Japan. +32 Destroyers to Japan.]

Some communications arrays are set up in the Dutch East Indies, to help with notifications against Japanese gas attacks. They were fully prepared and ready for the next gas attacks in the next year.
[-10,000,000 $ to the Netherlands.]

In a sudden and strange move, the Australian Army is put on full mobilization, pressuring people into the Army, for an invasion. Of where, they were not told and did not know.
[+40,001 Militia to Australia.]

Australia continues to attempt to work towards and aircraft carrier. This national idea gets to be so intensive, that loans were taken out, bonds issued, and all the stops pulled out to try and get them to the logistics and training needed to get an aircraft carrier. It would still take time to make one, as the process is long and hard, and many began to raise the issue of why they were doing this, when they should just an Escort Carrier. Public Support begins to drop because of this issue.
[-23% Public Support to Australia. +3 Naval Levels in 2 turns to Australia. -600,000,000 $ to Australia.]

The Australian Government has no money left over at the end of the year to try and run a propaganda campaign in attracting immigrants from other countries.

The recent mobilisation comes to fruition, as the Australians launch a complete and surprise invasion of New Zealand. This unannounced war came at a complete surprise to the British and the New Zealanders, and at the same time, the Australians declare that New Guinea is under control of Australia. Not even the Australian people support such an unprovoked war, and quickly support of the government plummets, but the invasion of Auckland goes over well.
[-34% Public Support to Australia. -145 Prestige to Australia. -2,539 Militia to Australia.]

The Sublime Ottoman State​

Today, I stand before you in the city of Ankara a sad man, a humbled man before Muhammad and Allah himself. The fact that the British Empire would completely destroy the Holy City of Constantinople for their petty war humbles me. It grounds me to this earth beneath my feet, our feet, to understand the very evil that we are fighting. That such a government would destroy the history of not only a country, but the world, for their own worldly gain is naught for the feint of heart to understand. This must strengthen our resolve to free all proper Moslems from the tyranny of the Mad King of England. The Ottoman Empire recognises the Free Islamic Kingdoms of Pakistan, Sudan and Egypt. Let not the Mad King put Moslems to the death on his quest into insanity. But fret not, my friends, my people, my fellow believers. Constantinople will be rebuilt, and be grander than ever following the war!

Concerning the port city of Jaffa, I do not wish to further cause death to those that don't deserve it. We will reach a dealing through polite and civilized discussion.

I pray to thee, that you will all pray with me. No Mad King nor his Shah dog will overtake the Nation of Islam, as the Caliphate will spread liberation to all true believers of the Prophet.

Allahu Ackbar! Allahu Ackbar! Allahu Ackbar!

The Italian government has no interest in the ongoing wars and is currently only engaged in a crusade of reconstruction and development. So long as the outside destruction stays outside of our borders we will continue this path. We will also honor the beliefs of those under our protection as it is only right and proper that religious tolerance be followed through on. There is so much more that we can do for our people than spending leagues of treasure worth on killing people of other nations. All that is needed strategically to protect our peoples interests is already under our flag.

On the BBC radio broadcast station to Palestinian homes

"People of Palestine,

We have killed thousands upon thousands of Turkish invaders and even have destroyed their sacred city. It is the beginning of the end for the mad sultan who wishes for war. He has already made many false promises he cannot fulfill due to his ineptitude leading a state. The sultan already prosecutes the religious minorities in occupied Palestine. The people of the middle east will and can rise up to meet this threat to all our peoples livelihoods and livings. The Ottoman Empire must be brought to it's knees due to their incomprehensible aggression towards peaceful states. If we do not rally against this threat they will eventually attack any and all peaceful states. The Sultan has also stolen the title of the previous ruler of the former nation of Saudi Arabia who established the Caliphate. This one fact proves the Sultan thus invaded for needless blood shed for his own betterment. We only followed up due to the fact that we wanted to protect the Muslim peoples across the Jordan River.

This sultan is a usurper who wants power and wealth which he uses to buy himself fancy cars from the United States and Germany. A usurper is not what the people of Islam need to lead them to spiritual ascendance. Another one of the many real truths about the sultan is he has already claimed the protector of Jerusalem when his people are in poverty and starving. The sultan is very mentally deficient by his recent actions towards the Middle East. He has not brought any prosperity to his people as a clear and mentally capable leader would do. We will win this war for the Middle East we may be in exile but we are able to fight this threat."

The Empire of Scandinavia​

Scandinavia has witnessed a tumultuous year. While our economy has been prosperous, and our people content, the programme of national integration has gone slower than expected. His Imperial Majesty assures the King of Finland and his people that they too are full partners within the Scandinavian Empire; and that they shall forever remain so. Turning to more international matters His Imperial Majesty's Government is shocked and dismayed by the actions of the British and Parisian governments in the matter of the unlawful seizure and destruction of the HMS Kalmar. We firstly condemn the British government for such rank incompetence as to have lead to such a tragic event in the first place; but second and most forcefully of all condemn the government in Paris for such a grossly illegal violation of sovereignty. The Scandinavian Government demands immediate compensation, and a formal apology from the Parisian government.

casting an eye towards the ongoing Anglo-Ottoman War, His Imperial Majesty is highly displeased with the horrific actions of the British Government who in destroying Constantinople committed the greatest crime against history and civilisation this world has ever known. To stoop to such depths is unforgivable, and the British government is roundly condemned for it. As for the seizure of the Port of Jaffa, the Port of Jaffa is formally annexed into the Scandinavian Empire; and His Imperial Majesty's Government would gladly enter into negotiation with the Ottoman government as to the purchase of the port by those authorities. There is no need for war.

-His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Gustaf I of Scandinavia, King of Sweden

Kingdom of Yugoslavia

​

We are aware of the dangers our nation has to endure. Stuck in a war against our neighbours and surrounded b hostile armies, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia has long been enjoying his independence, but at what cost? We are well aware of the state of our finances, and the impopularity of our intervention in the Technocratics wars. Thus, we will refelct upon this matter and decide what is better for our country, so God help us.

Alexander I of Yugoslavia

This year has been a quiet year for the Congo, with our focus turned inwards, and our goals simple. We shall continue this period of 'isolation' until we successfully conclude our war with the aggressive state of Gabon. They shall be defeated, and peace restored to our glorious state. While we have had little conflict between our two states in the past year, I have no doubt that the real fighting shall start in the coming year. We shall stay strong!

~ Joseph Bolamba, President of the Free State of the Congo

((Thanks for letting Congo sit out this turn Fry! I owe you one. ))

Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies

Her Majesty's Government reflects on another year of solitary struggle, patriotic sacrifice and international abandonment. There are, however, notable exceptions to the latter, to whom we wish to express our gratitude: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for her continued assistance in the Pacific Ocean; the United Communes of France, for her generous support; and the People's Republic of China, for its heroic decision to reclaim Manchuria from the claws of the Japanese Empire. For years, this territory has been subject to the cruellest of deprivations at the hands of its foreign occupiers. The Qing were too feeble to resist; the Wu, too apathetic even to notice. Its fate demonstrates what is in store for the Indies if they are not preserved from the Japanese; its reclamation, a signal of the downfall of those perfidious monsters. We extend our full support to the People's Liberation Army in its endeavour to drive the Japanese from Korea, and thus restore the last sovereign nation to succumb to Japanese aggression.

Unlike our Japanese counterpart, which can wage war with impunity and simply detain all those who dissent, Her Majesty's Government is accountable to the people. In this last year, they have exhibited their discontent with the current course of affairs. The confidence of the people is integral to democracy. As such, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers has asked for the States-General to be dissolved and fresh elections held at the first possible date. Her Majesty has received this request and approved it. The incumbent cabinet shall continue to perform its duties until this time.

Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies​

The Queen on Transcendention and Social Services​

My beloved people,

finally the great high ways are completed, the car industry is flowering and we have the oil to provide our drivers. But as with all things transcendent we will look beyond those achievements. We are a modern country with modern scientific police security, with groundbreaking practical research in cooperation with our slavic Polish sisters and brothers, with modern infrastructure and modern equality. But that is no reason to stand still and rest easy. Because as we speak, people in our nation are dying. They do not solely die because of age, but because of sickness and because of catastrophes. There are many problems related to that and I carry blame for that too. I have not worked as hard as I should have and I will have to do so now. For every child, for every woman and for every man who died in vain I feel responsible. There is no way I can't avoid the righteous accusations of our conscience as the ideal of transcendancy compel me as your head of state to think on everything.

To focus on our nation once more I will promote together with the government a new transcendant path in public services: We will show the world that transcendancy leaves no one behind as our greatest enemy is not a person, a people or a place. Our greatest enemy is our own shortsighting, our lack of knowledge, our stubbornness. To achieve transcendancy we must overcome the shackles that bind us as both communists, liberals and anarchists have taught us. We must not lose ourselves in that way as well because that would lead away from transcendancy as conservatives and reactionaries acknowledged. As we have seen, and achieved: Transcendancy encompasses everything.

The social services are not fit to serve for a modern country, a transcendant country, a country responsible in the eyes of God for the good of the people. There should be no need for men to die other than of old age. We will fashion a traffic law system and we will give supremacy to firefighters, doctors and the police on the streets so they may help those in need as fast as humanly possible. We will specialize and augment the medical service so our people stay healthy and are cared for. We will promote first aid studies for every citizen so that everyone can help with reason and knowledge, so that everyone can act in situations of need. Thus we will prevent more harm than ever before.

How should our nation be able to grow if it does not provide people with knowledge and security? As I am pregnant now I as a wife and a future mother must focus on the world my children shall experience. It should be a world where life is worth living in full. Because LIFE is at the heart of Transcendancy. I do not care how many children you will have, my people, but I care for every child as I will for my own. I care for a nation where our children can live to achieve all abilities and options avaible to them.

To achieve that is to achieve Transcendancy. I do not ask you to "produce" children but I will fight on to create a world where children want to live in and where you want your children to live in. For that I fight every day and with every breath. And even if I would die now I know that this ideal, the ideal of transcendancy, of life for everyone, that it would live on. Because we embarked on this journey together and I trust in God and in you my people that we will bring forth that better world. We will give the world a future worth living. We will give every child hope. And with a single spark of hope we might ignite stars gone out long. That, my beloved people, is my wish for the future, for our children and for our nation. That is my hope for humanity.

May the Lord bless you on this journey

Queen Milena I. of Czechoslovakia
