Nightfall - Modern Nations Survival Rp Thread

[Will (TauFirewarrior) 2466]

The Commonwealth of Australia 

 

The Commonwealth of Australia enjoying the benefits of it joining the Transcontinental Accord, the strong mining economy along with receiving technology from its allies to aid in its defensive research. All ships in the Australian Navy begin to be retrofitted with the Type 1 Static Defensive Cannon in order to outmatch its rivals if need be.

 

Training exercises in Central Australia between the PMC forces and the Australian standing army continue as within the past decade it had become mandatory that all the infantry train in deadly environments and learn survival skills both in the Desert and in the Bush. While the State Run and secretly owned Military Private sector continues its research (9 more pages for Advanced VI) (19 more pages for the Autonomous Mechs) starting to pick up the pace, with the Mechs being specifically designed for open desert warfare as well as Urban environments in the initial concepts.

 

 A Missive is sent to the Commonwealth of New Zealand, it states "In these times of heightened tensions between many of the nations outside of the Australasian Region of the world Prime Minister Dorahy wishes to discuss the possibilities of a Federal Union between Australia and New Zealand that would be known as the Australasian Federation continuing under the British Commonwealth and keeping King William as our honorary and respected heads of state. It would include economic benefits, military co-operation and above all Autonomy of New Zealand with few changes in Administration." (( Mod Approval Needed to decide if New Zealand would accept a Federal Union with Australia ))

 

Mining

Being a leader in the Primary Industry known as mining Australia has many ores on offer to trade being the worlds third largest exporter of iron, second largest in gold, second largest in nickel, the largest in Aluminium, third largest in diamond, second largest in Zinc and the worlds largest in Coal. Australia has also become the largest exporter of natural gas since 2020 (( Mod Approval putting this up there as I did my research into Australian mining )) and is a world leader in Uranium mining.

 

Military 

 

The Commonwealth has always kept a standing army, navy and air force however it was not as large and still not as large as some of its counterparts around the world as it has never needed a large military due to the enemies it has made being unable to invade a nation like Australia. However since the significant conflicts in the early 2000's and during the 2010's it has risen to three quarters of its size during the early 21st Century to become a somewhat significant force. Numbering over 200,000 supported by 900 Infantry fighting Vehicles and APC's, 600 main battle tanks and 400 artillery pieces including this is all including reservists, its navy once a small and insignificant force during the 2000's now has over 150 commissioned ships and its air force being over 1200 aircraft assorted fighters, helicopters and other utility aircraft. Then the three significant "Private" Military Companies secretly state owned and run pulling together a combined force of 120,000 Contracted soldiers and researchers for defense development on contract to the Australian Government 

(( PMC Troops)) 

(( Australian Regulars ))
Manufacturing 

 

Having mastered the Primary Industries of mining and agriculture the Australian Government has supported the biggest automobile car corporations to set themselves up in Australia, now being traded on the Sydney Stock Exchange with the various mining corporations, manufacturing is becoming a big part of the Australian economy once more. These cars are being built using Australian resources and are being exported to other nations around the world.

 

Trade

 

Australia accepts the trade agreements proposed to them save any that would contradict its obligations to the Transcontinental Accord.

 

Diplomacy 

 

Australia would agree to hold a defensive alliance with the United Kingdom, as the nation houses the King and the Royals who are much loved in Australia. It also waits for other members of the Transcontinental Accord to make a statement concerning the continued aggression shown towards the Commonwealth of Afrika. The Commonwealth of Australia does send missives to the Arab Federation and the Islamic Caliphate expressing its concern about the conflicts of aggression clearly instigated by them and says African nations that are fundamentally Christian belong to the ethnic majorities of its nation.

 

R&D
Research continues on advanced Virtual Intelligence (9 pages)

 

Concepts and ideas are drawn up for the Autonomous Mechs official project designation is now given as the Emu Mechs (19 pages)

 

Creation of the Australasian Federation

The leaders of New Zealand and Australia have agreed to Union and form the Australasian Federation, which renews its British Commonwealth Status 

(( Boundries of the Federation and Oceanic Claims ))

 

The Australasian Federation lays claim to Polynesia and invites the leaders of the Polynesian Micro-nations to join the Australasian Federation with under the same terms as New Zealand ((Will need a mod again for that but willing to wait until the next page for any action to occur ))

The Afrikan Commonwealth:

Both Ghana and Gabon agree to join the Commonwealth, seeking to join in on the relative prosperity that the Commonwealth was enjoying. However, the Democratic Republic of Congo denies the offer, themselves being quite strong and prosperous, rivalling the Commonwealth in both of those things. The Civil War in the DRC had been resolved, with the state now enjoying new unity and as a result, was similar to Nigeria in how modernised it had become. They themselves had managed to annex the Republic of Congo.

Madagascar does not accept the Commonwealth's offer.

The construction of a single aircraft carrier begins, though it will take some time to complete. ((15 pages))

Australasian Federation

The majority of the Polynesian States, namely Tonga, Tuvalu and Niue, accede to the AF's offer, joining them as member nations. The majority of the rest followed New Zealand into the Federation already, those being the Cook Islands, and Tokelau. Samoa however does not join and promises to fiercely protect their independence.

The Arab Federation

Morocco agrees to join the Arab Federation, seeing them as bring strength back to North Africa, and believing that if they didn't willingly accept now, they would be forced to later.

 Secundum Imperium Romanum

The Second Empire of Rome

Rome, Italy, The Roman Empire 18:06

The Emperor stood triumphantly atop the tank as it drove through the streets of the capital, Rome. Glistening marble and dark brick reflected off of the tank's metal, the sound of marching boots and rolling vehicles echoing off the ancient walls of the great city. War was coming and with war would come the glory of the Roman Imperium. As the military parade swept across the city, protesters were marching towards the column. Many of the protesters began to trickle away at the show of power but the more dedicated citizens kept steel hearted. As the parade slid to a halt in front of the protesters the Emperor smiled warmly, walking off his platform to greet their leader. He invites him inside to talk of ways they can work out a deal to end the riots, meanwhile the Emperor's retinue moves about the remaining protesters offering fine foods and alcohol  A party begins in the center of the conflict, the Emperor and the Protest Leader go off to talk over a glass of wine. Across the sea a war rages, men are dying. They are not dying in vain, they are dying for the glory of Rome! 

Roman-Hungarian War, Hungary 20:14

The Roman Legion's offensive had slowed majorly, their original success halted by the waken Hungarian dragon. But the Wolf and its pack does not bow to the weakened Dragon. They would continue their advance, to take the Hungarian lands for the Empire! The German special forces are a welcome help to the Romans. The Iberian, Italian, and French Romans greet the German force, the generals work together to divide the armies up. The German-Roman Division of 400,000 Soldiers is sent on a quick strike to root out the main artillery of the resistance, an Roman force of 100,000 stays behind to secure and repair the anti-air as well as the currently occupied Hungarian land. 

Research Facility, Venice, The Roman Empire 19:17

 

Using the designs and research co-funded by Rome in the German Empire, a new technology of armor is developed for the Legion. Albeit heavier this new armor is fireproof, bulletproof, and a better buffer against blasts. 

[Praetor 1550]

 

New Californian Republic

 

Project Terminator is well underway, through the past year half the army has been equipped with cybernetic implants, leaving only the Mexicans and a large part of the CSA/NCR border patrols unaugmented. While most units have passed boot camp and practiced extensively in the Nevada desert, training regimes increase as they prepare for potential conflict in the Middle-East. Old experts and veterans from the wars of the early 21st century are called upon to teach their tips and tricks to the army.

 

Already, certain contingents are sent towards Australia to muster and train with their army. Approximately 100 thousand are shipped and flown over, escorted by a Carrier fleet. These men disembark and would probably begin to train and learn about one of the worlds harshest environments with the Australian soldiers. While they are drilled and augmented, the NCR government believes it is best for them to be in peak condition and ready for anything. Another 300 thousand are planned to be shipped in over the following year, should the Australian government accept.

 

The NCR pulls 50 thousand men out of their jobs to reintegrate the army. All of them are fresh out of their mandatory year of service, with the ideals of the Arnoldian Youth still present in their minds. They are fanatics driven by years and years of brainwashing and will soon join the regular army.

 

Meanwhile, the railgun tech continues to progress as it is now adapted to tanks aswell as ships. Most seafaring war vessels are now equipped with railguns, far-outranging classical canons and top of the line CSA AA equipment is also equipped. On par with the usual T.R.A.C agreement, the technology has been shared with allied nations.

 

With the basic cybernetic research over, the NCR now turns towards a more complex system, Active cloaking for special operations and sharpshooters. While there had been advances in this region previously, the NCR and other nations scientists from the T.R.A.C focus much more attention on it, believing it will be of much use in the jungles of sub-saharan africa as well as the desert. (9 pages mod approved)

 

 

In other research bunkers, nuclear power is examined with a closer eye as the NCR begins to study possible nuclear batteries to power railguns and heavy tanks. Precautions will have to be taken to avoid radiation leaks and catastrophic failure, the research will take some time but with their current experience, and the USA’s past experience with nuclear power they believe it can be achieved. ((15 pages modplz judged as impossible, will rp it next turn))

 

The second NCR carrier fleet begins retrofitting with CSA AA guns and railguns for more than just essential ships. The resources pouring in from the Commonwealth and Australia as well as the CSA allow for quicker modifications.

 

The NCR asks the Australian government if it would be willing to use its shipyards to begin the construction of a third aircraft carrier for the NCR, to further reinforce its presence in the pacific.

 

Speaking of problems in the pacific, NCR operatives around the world notice the sudden retreat of forces and economics executed by Japan. The massing of forces across the pacific are a worrying prospect for the New California Republic as a large part of the American west coast is under its control. Of the many spies and operatives in the NCR, a born japanese is found and implanted with a control chip in his brain. A small pill of highly corrosive acid is implanted above the chip, should he be captured a simple touch will activate it and irreparably damage the chip, most probably killing him with it. A fanatic indoctrinated for years in the Arnoldian Youth he is given a false identity and sent into Japan through various flights and ships to avoid any connection with the NCR. His objective, should he manage to land in Japan would be to feel around japanese society for hatred towards a particular nation and attempt to infiltrate the government to ascertain the reasons behind these curious movements.. There is no telling how long it would take but it is possible for him to slip by the Japanese security nets, however there is no certainty. While he is not the only one sent, he is the best.

 

Should he be caught, he has no link with the NCR and chances are extremely high that he will find a way to kill himself to avoid interrogation. ((Not out of the blue, Arnoldian Youth, brainwashing etc…))

 

The NCR factories continue to pump out weapons and war equipment that it ships over to the other nations through Panama and into CSA protected waters before lounging the brazilian coast in international waters and going straight for Nigeria. A select few tanks now have railguns, though very few are sent overseas and most are kept on NCR soil or shipped to Australia under heavy escort. Submarines and destroyers protect NCR trade routes in the atlantic, however the NCR asks the CSA to keep an eye on them to avoid any raids as it must focus primarily on the pacific.

 

Operatives are sent into Iran through India and Australia, they forewarn the government that they wish to speak of important matters in the utmost secrecy. Should the Iranian government accept, then the operatives enter their land and request to speak to highly ranked intelligence operatives. To them, they offer funding and weaponry as long as they continue their offensive into enemy lands. Should they agree they will receive modern T.R.A.C technology such as weapons, tanks and aircraft.  ((Mod plz))

The Australasian Federation

 

Due to recent additions to the Federation it is now a nation that spans the length of several continents, with member states accepting the head of the Federation being Australia to take on the priorities of defense and diplomacy while they govern themselves elevated from the pressures of the international stage. With New Zealand and many Polynesian states joining the combined population now exceeds 64,000,000 people in total spread across the whole Federation.

 

The Military access and combined training programs with the NCR are accepted and the further troop movement into Australia is also accepted, the elements from the Australian Navy and that of New Zealand begin to gather and troops from New Zealand are moved into Australia to train alongside their counterparts as intense realistic training exercises are carried out and troops are taught surviving techniques both in the desert and the famed Australian Bush.

 

Australia accepts an exchange of researchers to help quicken the pace of its current research projects by a few years (( Mod approval for decreased time in researching the VI and the Mechs, the VI still needing another 8 pages and the mechs needing 18 pages if researchers are helping from other nations mod approval for the time currently required to go down )) the researchers come from the UK and NCR to help increase the the research output and bring results.

 

The Australian Navy is retrofitted with its new rail guns supplied from the NCR, a similar approach is taken in arming the light and main battle tanks of the Australian army with the same weapons however it may take some time (( Mod approval for time it takes to retro fit the Australian Armies Armour divisions ))

 

More warnings are sent the way of the Arabian Federation and Islamic Caliphate for their persecution of those not of the Islamic Faith and alleged ethnic cleansing of Jews, Christians, Kurds among others. In secret agents are sent to Oman, Qatar and Bahrain offering support to their respective Monarchies, elements of the Australian S.A.S are sent to help train Qatari, Oman and Bahrain troops and have their borders begin to set up defensive lines for the onslaught of extremist troops heading their way.

Slavic Confederation

 

Invasion of Slovakia

 

The pressure on Slovakia encountered little resistance to the Polish and Czech Republic's joined attack from two sides. The defense minister of Poland issued to test their awaited project locked up for 30+ years in storage and producted when enocomy was high. The Poland's stealth tank. It has an active protective system radar sensor heads, remote controlled weapon station, and modular unmanned turret.

 

 

As the pressure on Slovakia grew by how Germany and Italy might get involved. So the Slovakia surrenders to the might of the Slavic Confederation. As the leaders in the Slavic Confederation does what they promise, they opened arms the Slovakia to the seats of the Slavic to make decisions for their country, economony and military were given aid to them.

The small test of Poland's stealth tank became useful, and it was issued for them to replace the current tanks for all Slavic Confederation, these may take years as these tanks will be producted and current tanks will take them to take out of duty. ((5 pages))

 

Diplomacy

 

The Slavic Confederation noticed the nationalism in their countries, they ensure them this is a temporary joined alliance until Europe is at peace or Slavic Confederation under a right alliance. They will dismiss it until that time, they asked to be patient.

 

To Germany, Poland and few nations of Slavic Confederation wishes to offer Stealth tanks blueprints for the German's new battlesuit so they the Slavic Confederation product their own troops into these armour.

 

To Support the Roman-Hungarian war, Poland wishes to join the war into supporting and to make sure this war is ended quickly without anymore innocent lives caught in the cross fire. Poland army is there to take hold of cities and not advance, they are to be played defencive and not offensive. This is to be made clear to the Roman Empire.

 

Poland invasion force

-30,000 soldiers

-50 Tanks (Poland's Stealth tank)

-5 Tolled Artillery

-10 Attack heliocopters

-Armoured personnel carriers with Bee dones (for scouting and explosion)

THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN

 

 

The British naval additions, started in the Franco-Iberian War, had finally been completed, and 10,000 more British soldiers had finally returned from Normandy, the confidence in the loyalist 3rd Army, now 50,000 strong, and the PFN (Peacekeeping Force of Normandy), growing greater and greater by the day.

 

A single aircraft carrier, 7 destroyers and 10 frigates had been added to the fleet, in addition to the captured French warships.

The request made by the Confederacy is cautiously considered and weighed. At last, the British make a public declaration swearing to aid the Commonwealth of Afrika in the event of an invasion, and decide to prepare a task force of 70,000 soldiers to assist the Confederacy in protecting the Afrikan Commonwealth.

 

The new carrier H.M.S. Excalibur, packed with RAF fighters and bombers, along with 6 destroyers, the 2 French submarines, 3 Trafalgar Class submarines, and 10 frigates make up the British naval task force.

 

The force would be dispatched to join the Confederate fleet, notably avoiding the Suez Canal to get there, and the British admiral would wish to confer with the Confederate and Afrikan leaderships to discuss defensive strategies. Great Britain also calls for Ireland and Iberia to send troops to aid the Expeditionary Force in it's endeavors.

 

----------

 

Norman farms help to increase the food supply of Great Britain as their crops are harvested, and the nation now has a surplus of food.

 

----------

 

The United Kingdom has created a research agreement with the Australians, and is pleased to hear that they've consolidated New Zealand and convinced them to renew their membership in the Commonwealth of Nations. 

 

The Australian scientists immediately begin to aid Britain in it's energy weapons research.

[Endovelicus 614]

United Federation of Iberia

 

The King now adressed his people.

 

"People of Iberia, I come with sad news. Yes, sad news indeed, another war. Not with Europe this time it's abroad. The Caliphate marches closer and closer to our shores."

 

The king pauses taking a deep breath.

 

"How much time until they conquer moroco and march up to Iberia? How much time until they destroy our churches, kill our children, and force Sharia law upon ourselves?"

 

King Anfonso speaks with fervour.

 

"No! I say no! I shall not let that happen! I shall not let the God forsaken terrorists take over Europe. We the Iberians fought them off once, and we shall again! We shall fend off the muslim threat! We shall destroy the caliphate and destroy the cresent moon! God wills it!"

Iberia gives it's body armour blueprints to Britain, in turn they'll give them energy weapons blueprint once they finish it.

With this new fervour many young men sign up for the army. Now at the strength of about 300.000 men total. They send about 100.000 of those with the new tech. They also send many AFVs SPGs and a few Tanks.

They also ask for trade agreement with Angola. They promise food for oil ((Mod pls)) And any other country with oil that isn't Muslim and needs food is also sent the request.

Iberia starts re-building old structures in their cities making them more modern. Iberia also starts building the first skyscrapper in Lisbon. ((Mod Pls))

[bickando 3967]

The Japanese Empire

 

 

"My Empress, the Australians have managed to take our friends in Tonga, who hate them, under their wing."

The Empress stands from her command chair, infuriated, but catching herself, she calmly speaks, 

"They would dare to encroach upon us? For this, they will have to answer to me."

 

The Australasians are sent a list of demands:

 

-Release the once sovereign Polynesian Islands.

-Remove all foreign troops from Australia. Japan in turn will not invade Australian soil.

-Submit to the hegemony of the Eastern Bloc in Asia. Australasia will be allowed to stay in TRAC.

-End railgun retrofitting.

 

If these demands are not complied with, the Japanese Empire will proceed to send its navy and airforce towards Australia, and once in range, attack the Australian navy with its anti-naval drones and veteran ship-ship combat captains. The airforce would launch from Japanese Indonesia and launch air raids on all 480 of Australia's serviceable airstrips. It also threatens to embargo any TRAC nations it currently trades with and pull out all Japanese companies, severely weakening the economies of TRAC nations. It also threatens to enforce a blockade in the Pacific, preventing American powers from moving their navy through it.

 

((Also, there is no way in hell you tripled your airforce and navy and on top of that quintupled your army. I don't want to be that guy, but I'm going to have to call you out on that, because not only would they have to be built with a defense budget of $26,000,000 a year (which is also spent on current upkeep), you also couldn't have had the upkeep budget to have that large of a military force.))

 

The Japanese Empire asks that Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei join the Empire to defend against the Western scumbags to their South. ((Mod))

 

The NCR spy would report that the Japanese nation has been bred to love its leader with a passion, and that recent Australian movement has led to what can be described as anywhere from discomfort to radical hatred of the Australians. He is the only spy to successfully make it into the hyper-exclusive Imperial faction, the others being found out and killed or never being accepted in the first place. From a lowly minister, he learns that he will have to infiltrate Japanese Imperial High Command to learn the reasons behind its movement.

 

Japan orders a massive increase in naval size, large amounts of destroyers being built with the titanium and iron imported from its protectorate-states. More F-3 Sakura model planes are also built, and Japan for all intents and purposes appears to be gearing up for war. A batch of 100,000 troops are currently half finished with training.

 

The few Japanese-born Caucasian children begin to be trained to be effective assassins, diplomats, and spies, while being taught fanatical love for Japan. This would not reach offshore, and in most cases, the parents themselves are told that their children were either abducted or disappeared.

[Zanderaw 162]

The Islamic Caliphate

 

 

 

It had been a hard fight through the mountains, but finally the Iranian army had broken as both the Caliph and the Turks pressed toward Tehran. In that time, however, more pressing issues had arisen. The Caliphate occupies all land south of the Zagros mountains up to the Straits of Hormuz, and then stops, laying down brutal airstrikes on the valley beyond. The Turks are given the responsibility to send in ground forces, as the combined army led by general Saeed is needed elsewhere. Most of these troops withdraw from the mountains and are redistributed.

It is finally decided that the entire Arabian peninsula must at last bow to the Caliph. The same force which conquered the UAE now travels west and marches into Qatar. Bahrain destroys its bridge and tries to hold out as long as possible, but it too is soon taken. The 50,000 troops still stationed in Arabia meet another 50,000 returning from Iran, and mass on the borders of Yemen and Oman. They, like the Emirates, had backed the wrong side of the war and would now suffer for it. The Caliph demands that they submit at once to his authority, or be annexed in the same way that all Arabia has been thus far. Should they refuse, the Caliph's men cross the border and exert the will of Allah.

The main force returning from Iran moves southwest by way of Kuwait, easily outnumbering any defenders and seizing the country. The tiny UN peacekeeping force had pulled out as the fates of the Irishmen became clear, and the Caliphate's forces encounter no resistance. Continuing west, they pass into Federation territory and move across the Sahara, to finally regroup in the plains of Sudan, out of the unlivable environment of the desert. There, they take what time they can to recuperate. The army's eyes, however, are on the west, where the defensive lines in Chad look north to the Egyptians. These soldiers are true jihadis, and they itch for a chance to fight the aggressive buildup of troops across the border. But for now, they rest, as more reinforcements come in every week.

The longer time went of of course, the weaker the other side became. The Accord had sought for complete self sufficiency in all resources, but as a whole they used hundreds of thousands of barrels more than they produced every day. To try to support the ridiculously-sized navies that they were trying to on top of this deficit was frankly madness, to say nothing of the vast merchant marine needed to transport soldiers and supplies to their oil-hungry armies. The Caliphate now extends the embargo to all members of their treaty, as well as to the Iberians. Those who threatened the rightful territory of Islam would pay for it with stagnation. In addition, prices are normalized for UEDI countries.

The Islamic State's rhetoric reaches new heights as they condemn the buildup of troops in the Commonwealth, and efforts begin to utilize every resource available to the Caliph. vast recruiting drives bring thousands upon thousands of jihadis into the holy army of Islam. The new advanced anti-air systems are installed all over the Caliphate, particularly in Arabia and Israel. Similarly the iron dome system begins to be installed across the nation's borders.

Confederate States of America

 

The first and second waves had reached Nigeria's coast, unloading their troops and supplies. Setting up in the camps waiting for them, CPNA troops gear up for desert warfare. Nigerian officers filter through their ranks, giving desert warfare and survival tips. One hundred thousand troops are soon moved from the camps to bolster the general line. The others would stay to await the unloading of CPNA vehicles, and train in desert conditions. The third and fourth wave would arrive soon, and after that the supply ships. After safely transporting the transport fleets, Confederate ships would set to guarding the Atlantic trade. Anti-air tracks are unloaded and dispersed through the lines, keeping the troops covered. 

 

Back on the home front a recruitment drive starts, the national government recruiting from all states. Many flocked to the recruitment stations to join in a war against Islamist factions. They would primarily be trained in New Mexico and Texas, aquatinting them to harsh climates. A large garrison is kept in Venezuela to protect the increasing amount of oil companies moving in. Oil consumption is sought to be lowered. The national government urged the states to reduce their oil usage, appealing to the sense that it was for the war effort. Oil companies are increasingly given permits in states to drill, trying to squeeze every last barrel out of their production.

 

The CSA was still in the process of going green, and was determined now more then ever. Hemp is becoming a big industry, it's multi purpose appealing to the government. This reduced the amount of rainforest needed to be cleared, and still profitable. Gaining 2/3 of state approval through war fever, the national government issued state wide oil restrictions. Besides public transportation, driving in cities was prohibited unless a license was purchased. The national high way limit becomes fifty five miles per hour, and citizens could not fill up tanks unless they were under 1/2 a tank. Nuclear power plants are planed to be built, in areas that had to be surveyed.

 

The new states and territories in the south's output of raw materials was fed into industrial American cities such as New Orleans and Tampa. Selling to markets still available, a profit was made to help cover other cost. Agriculture and industrial goods became the main export, and a lot of the food was shipped off to Africa to feed the armies there. People sent care packages and letters to the soldiers, trying to keep their morale up. 

[Han Solo 35]

 

The Union States of America

 

No doubt, the world was different. Patterson studied a map of the planet. Mother Earth lay spread in her endless beauty in front of him and he scowled when he pictured the tyrannical states across the globe. Mankind had destroyed her and her grace and moved to subject each other to a state where one greedy human would have seemingly infinite power. The United States of America had nearly collapsed during the changing Climate, and had worked hard to build a stable infrastructure. However too many powers had made its people slaves to the state and had forgot of the democratic values that once united a truly global world. American democracy was scarce and General Patterson hoped to change this. He received a Military Census report from his secretary and his scowl remained. The Accord was the global dominator of Planet Earth now, taking the place of the United States. Although America was still considerably powerful - maybe powerful enough to take on the Accord nations one on one, it was still a Lion among the Dinosaur. America needed an overhaul. And it needed one fast.

 

Diplomacy:

 

The United States immediately tells the Australian Commonwealth to retreat from the Polynesian islands. Some of the islands Australia lay claim to are American, such as the Marshall Islands and the American Samoa, and the Union Pacific Fleet guarded these 24/7. Engaging in further expansion would mean engaging the United States Navy in the Pacific. Australia is warned that even though it is a British Commonwealth nation, if it attacks, it will be a declaration of war.

 

Union Pacific Fleet since Page 11:

 

United States Pacific Islands Naval Fleet:

 

- 500,000 Navy Sailors and Active Front Line Personnel

- 8 Aircraft Carriers including the U.S.S Nimitz

- 665 Fighter Planes (On Carriers)

- 225 Fighter Planes (On Base)

- 22 Destroyers

- 20 Submarines

- 300 Long-Range Bombers (On Base)

- 25,000 Navy SEALS Special Operations Forces

 

 

The Trade Embargo on the NCR is lifted and the treaty is accepted. The Confederates helped the Union cool its attitude towards the NCR, but tensions remain. General Patterson would like to meet with the leader of the NCR and discuss the future of both nations.

 

A missive for a temporary defensive alliance is sent to the Japanese. If Australia or the Accord pushed forward in Pacific Expansion, the two nations could work together to repel the threat from the region and launch a counter-offensive.

 

The troops stationed near Canada start constructing a base of operations. They are not an invading force and General Patterson assures the UK King/Prime Minister that the U.S would not betray a trusted ally or disrespect Canada's sovereignty. The General also visits the UK to pay respect to the King who recently passed.

 

The U.S pushes for trade with all nations. The oil deal with the Confederates greatly aided the United States, although the high priced oil by the Caliphate was detrimental as there was a deficit. Even with the oil reserves in Alaska, the Union would be in deficit soon. America admitted 100,000 Union troops to be under Confederate command in Nigeria to help strengthen relations and show that the U.S would not sit idly by when its ally was at war.

 

The Union is interested in trade with China. A non-aggression pact and a free-trade offer is sent, waiting for approval.

 

Technology:

 

The Union army stars the development of Project RHINO. It is expected to take a few years to finish. ((Mod-Approved)).

 

Military:

 

The Union starts its second major conscription. Although the Union army only now consists of 1,700,000 personnel, that number is expected to double in ten years of gradual recruitment programs. Military factories ((started page 6)) finish completion and overhaul America's military production. It employs hundreds of thousands and allows America to quickly and efficiently produce military gear and vehicles. It almost quadruples America's military production rate, making it amongst the fastest on the Earth.

"The Australasian Federations foreign minister may have misinterpreted the original demands of the Empire of Japan, we acknowledge the strength of the Eastern Bloc in Asia and will not infringe on its power in Asia, we will however not adhere to the other demands as it is not the place of the Empire of Japan to dictate the defense of Australasia on the whole and we aren't in the place to dictate the defense of Japan and her Empire. In light of this recent diplomatic standoff Australasia continues to offer its agricultural exports and mineral exports to the Empire of Japan, knowing in these times the comforts of food can help ease the tensions of the world today."

 

The Referendum is cancelled concerning the Eastern Bloc due to misinterpretation of the Japanese missive. A trade agreement of agriculture and mineral ores are offered to the Empire of Japan to help feed and continue to build the Empire.

 

A statement is issued to the United States 

 

"The Australasian Federation does not hold any United States Polynesian territory, however we believe that it may be time for the United States to consider de-colonization and allow the Islands in Polynesia that you occupy to hold referendums about independence or joining the Australasian Federation. This is merely advice as we are not interested in conflict, we are happy to draw out borders in Polynesia in which we can properly determine our borders in the Oceanic Territory. The Foreign Ministry would like to remind the United States that it finds its initial statements out of the ordinary as you appeared to approve of the subversion of democracy in the region."

 

 

 

Mining

 

The Mining Industry is still in boom in Australia managing to extract and produce almost every resource under the sun, trading with the nations in Europe and the members of T.R.A.C the economy is still strong.

 

Military 

 

In response to Japans threats, the threat level in Australia is raised with 1st Brigade being stationed in Northern Australia and the 3rd Brigade being moved up to support, along with a compliment of an armoured division, the PMC Emu Company move up several divisions of its own men to support. However it would only seem as defensive or even part of training for this amount of troop movement to be recognized as it is partially for both purposes. The Australian Radar system is working in shifts in order to ensure an early warning system is ready in case Japan tries to invade.

 

The Retrofitting of the Armoured Divisions and Navy is halfway complete, with approximately half of both being retrofitted with 285 of the 600 main battle tanks being ready and an undetermined number of the commissioned ships being fitted with the rail guns. (( 1 page left ))

 

The Virtual Intelligence Project is just under half way done, with a prototype in pre-alpha stage (( 6 pages left ))

 

The Emu Mech Project is a quarter the way through, prototype chassis are made and will be tested against most modern weapons, research into the Bio-mechanical legs of the mech is under way (( 15 pages for entire project completion ))

 

The Australasian Federations government contracts many of the university labs around Australia and New Zealand to conduct significant research into hydrogen fuel for basic vehicles such as cars as it is shown that the Federation cannot rely on Oil forever (( Mod approval needed for this project ))
