"Secondly, manpower. Reach out to any cells in Londonderry Derry, see if you can't stir up any flames. But, be discreet, secretive. You get caught trying to recruit, you say you're with the IRA. No one knows about us yet, the Letterkenny Paramilitary doesn't exist, for now we'd like to keep it that way. We aren't only against the Brits, we're against others with the same ideas for the North. We need majority support in the Derry before we start getting serious around the border." (@Pokplz)

The police forces within Letterkenny take hold of the bribe and turn a blind eye to some of the activities undertaken by the force. In Londonderry Derry, recruitment moves at a snails pace though non-violent support does appear to be on the rise. Many attempts to recruit are met with words of support, but reluctance to take up arms for what they believe in. This mentality would have to change if they wished to get anything done.

The Federation of Oceania

 

 

Research begins on underwater oxygen synthesis, and on new technology that might allow the Federation to build underwater mining/drilling/research stations in the deep sea... ((5 turns)) In the meantime, scientific submersibles are dispatched to scout out possible locations for mining/drilling sites along the coasts of the pacific island nations and Paupa New Guinea. ((MOD REQUESTED. If this is too much, PM me Pok and I'll void it))

 

Other than some light deposits of minerals and precious metals, nothing of significant value is found in the searched regions. The Australians now face two options: widen the search area at the cost of an even more expensive submersible scouting mission or abandon the search and avoid such costs. Most experts argue that further searching will bear little to no fruit, though a few fringe groups encourage further ocean mapping.

After a long period of research and development, the Spookman MVII Gunship is now ready for construction. The Spookman is specialized for air to ground and air to air combat. It has extremely heavy armor that can resist many types of anti air flak cannons as well as 2 AGM-176 Griffin Block II B air to surface missiles, as well as a GAU-8/A Avenger anti-tank gatling gun. Construction on the Spookmen begins immediately [[5 PAGES]]

 

President Trump makes an hour-long speech on white house lawn denouncing fascism around the world but particularly in the Russian Federation, aiming to stir up anti-fascist sentiment from the left and right wings. An anti-fascist propaganda campaign is set into motion aiming to stir up American people against Russia. [[MOD PLEASE]]

 

Ambassadors are sent out to Finland, Estonia, Lithuania to discuss possibilities of further cooperation between the countries.

The  speech made by president Trump is met with thunderous criticism. Where was the comments on the Chinese? Why wouldn't he address the fact that his own party had disowned him? With the election right around the corner, President Trump would need to answer these questions. He was already polling far below both Rubio and Newsom and now this speech only further separated him from his base. Russia hadn't made a diplomatic move of any significance since cooperating with the U.N. to root out ISIS, and now Trump stands before the American people criticising them.

The Republic of Korea had done what it had sought to do for more than 60 years, unify the peninsula under one, democratic state. Many feared it would end in nuclear annihilation, a peninsula wiped from the map in nuclear fire, but instead it was done with a relatively low loss of life. Integration is slow, and the change in many of these citizens daily lives will shock their system for months, if not years. The money required would also be unimaginable, but unification was certainly worth it.

A letter is also sent to Austria asking if they'd have any interest in sending one to three Austrian astronauts on the mission, as a sign of friendship between the two countries.

A new government-funded television network has been set up to promote government events and world news. 

A referendum is taking place to illegalize all non-prescribed drugs. Dietrich and various other officials argue that drugs weaken the mind of the youth, and funding is distributed among numerous rehabilitation centers.

 

Austria naturally accepts such an offer, honored to be considered a part of the mission.

The referendum passes with a result of 55% to 45% with the majority being in favor of the ban. This is largely thanks to the effort made by the government to demonize these drugs.

As the crew of 10 astronauts reach the orbit of the red planet, broadcasts from the ship finally make it back home. The mission is a resounding success! Switzerland used the maps given to them by China to help find a landing place. They decide to land in what they called "Dietrich Pass", named in honor of the leader who had put the Mars initiative in order. Finally, the spacecraft lands on the craggy wasteland that is Mars. While the storms and harsh Martian environment was strenuous, it was no match for the Swiss engineering put into the space suits.

Back at home, an earthquake in Bern has occurred. Dietrich has taken immediate action and has supported the relief effort with funds and propaganda. It will be a long recovery, and the costs are unknown. While this wasn't some freak of nature, it did damage many parts of the older town. Those affected are now given free housing in the other cities until the matter is resolved. [[IMPORTANT; I'm going on vacation for a week, after that I'll be back and rping!]] [[MOD PLEASE]]

The Media Today: 

 

 

"--The People's of Republic of China will be the new superpower relatively soon, the United States cannot catch up with its international endeavours on all fronts. The nations of the world look up to China for investment, for trade, for spacefaring and security; the US has simply fallen into obscurity. The Trump Administration doesn't know what it is doing, simply put. They either lost their spirit or ability to be the centrum of the world financially /and/ military." 

 

 

"--To be frank Willis, I think the merger of Oceania and the African states is something simply beautiful. It unites the people, stops war, and with that; finally brings cooperation and humanity back into this world.  It is why it is so important for the European Union to follow suit! Bring so many cultures together and discuss like the civilized people we are." 

 

 

"Behind me stands the very town hall where protests ensued against the touring Chinese delegate that visited Detroit last night to have talks about a potential investment. Many people in Detroit are sceptic and scared of the Communist China gaining such a prominent role in the world, especially after President Trump so specifically mentioned at the start of his first term to counter them. The people in Detroit feel worried that American jobs may be lost with the Chinese putting their hands in the cookie jar; but to what extend their sentiments are truthful, is yet to be seen." 

 

 

 

"--Isn't it exciting? Isn't it great? After speaking to three presidents in a row with the same warning, we have finally reached a stage of no return. What began as a cooperation between nation states, has become the integration to a single state. Not surprising, is it? I anticipate that next elections in France will empower the voice of the people, and have them say 'no' to this undemocratic union that is bleeding out our sovereignty.  Third time's a charm is it not?

The European Union

Bundesrepublik Deutschland

 

 

The integration of the European continent went relatively well. Not only did the Unionist policy of Brussels again considerable support from Oceania, China and the Netherlands; but it was succeeding on all fronts, in some countries..

 

The dark blue represents the nation states that adopted enough of the 16 integration laws to have officially ceded sufficient authority to the European Government; making their economies and militaries fall under the jurisdiction of central European organs. Nations such as Austria, the Netherlands and the Baltics have passed all 16 laws and have fully merged their borders and governments in the autonomous federative government of the European Union with Germany, while Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Czech Republic are still to unifiy their police and implement their European constitutions. Despite that, these four nations are still in practice governed by the EU.

 

Aggressive integration propaganda, lobbying & funding of pro-Integration parties begin in Poland, Hungary & Belgium to speed up the process and enlarge the European Economy.

HALF TIME REPORT: THE NEW AFRICA REFERENDUM

 

Nigeria, and the ECOWAS Council offers this to the governments fearing the loss of their jobs: The new Union will be a Federalized one. Whilst they will be subservient to the Federal ECOWAS council, they can maintain their position as leaders of their respective state governments, maintaining their current powers and privileges. Mostly. Any nation where the referendum fails, will be allowed to not enter, anywhere it succeeds, is expected to enter. [[MODS PLEASE]]

 

After months of anxious campaign and stirring up of a new, unified West African identity, the New Africa referendum is on the ballot for millions of citizens on the continent. Voting goes largely as expected, with Cape Verde, Gabon, Mauritania, and Equatorial Guinea all striking down the idea of a federalized Union. One small shock to the system though is the failure of the legislation to pass in Gambia, a country that polled in the opposite direction ended up turning back and voting itself out of the federalized form of the Union. 

Though these nations may have declined the Union, they are still expected to cooperate in any other Pan-African movement coordinated by the new Union.

 La République Française

 

With the European Union seemingly unifying at a greater pace, alarm grows among the French people and government. Soon the entire continent would be under German dominance, and France was determined to protect herself and the other nations from this fate. The French government conducts counter-propaganda to the German efforts in Poland, Hungary, and especially their neighbour Belgium, providing funding and advice for the more conservative parties in those nations. Given that national conservatism and soft euroskepticism are currently strong themes in the current Polish and Hungarian political zeitgeist, it is unlikely that the German efforts would see much success here. These efforts are conducted to a lesser extent in all other non-integrated EU nations. [MOD PLZ]

 

Closer ties are also sought with other nations in the EU. The French Foreign Office reaches out to Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland, and Poland in order to bolster relations between them and France. Greater integration between Belgium and France specifically is also sought, as France offers Belgium unified law enforcement and counter-terrorism efforts and sharing their foreign policy, both within and without the EU. [MOD PLZ]

 

The slow rise of the Occitan independence movement was noted by the French government. A campaign is begun in the region to try and promote French unity and nationalism, pointing to the strength and prosperity of the united France, and the needs for a continuation of this in the face of the trouble brewing in both Russia and the EU. [MOD PLZ]

 

Meanwhile, the method for mass production of graphene, and so a government-owned factory is constructed to facilitate it. Before production of the extraordinary material begins, the French government patents the method and enforces the requirement that all graphene produced is scoured of the substances left over from the production process, so that other corporations and governments will not be able to gain production information from French graphene. 

 

A design for a second French aircraft carrier begins to be drafted, utilising the new graphene reinforcement in its construction in order to massively increase its hull strength and overall endurance. As a gesture of good-will, the French government reaches out to the Nigerian-led ECOWAS in order to co-operate on the design and construction. They also seek greater economic and political co-operation between the swiftly growing market of West Africa and France.

 

France also opens talks with Switzerland to strike a agriculture deal that will work in favour for both nations, rather than risking the livelihoods of one's farmers.

THE UNITED KINGDOM

 

The newest batch of Challenger 2 MBT’s have finished production - an armoured regiment to be deployed wherever it is needed. The tanks are some of the best protected tanks in the world, no casualties have ever been recorded, are are equipped with multiple guns and a V12 engine.

 

 

In response to the European Union’s pontificating and general approach to federalisation the United Kingdom makes an offer to all nation states in Europe: join with them in the creation of a new single market without tariffs and including anti-competition laws - but without the free movement of labour, only of the sale of services. The offer is also extended to nations like Portugal that had recently left the zone. [[MOD PLEASE/EURO PLAYERS]].

 

With regards to the Irish troubles, half of the recently deployed soldiers are withdrawn as post-Brexit tensions are seen to ease while a strictly worded missive is sent to the government of the Republic of Ireland - politely requesting that they end their nationalistic drive and stop driving up tendencies. They are reminded of the bloody troubles before the Good Friday agreement, while behind-doors talks are held with the pro-Unionist majority in the north to see if they are prepared to quash troubles.

 

An offer is made to France - information on the newest generation of rifles in exchange for their patented graphene research - along with a small financial gift given the Brit’s recent prosperity.

A number of new research projects begin:

 

A push is made into new synthetic oil refineries and drilling methods to boost both the reach and productivity of North Sea oil platforms. Although not intended to be overly extensive, they are aimed at reducing the deficit of oil production/consumption in the British Armed Forces. [[5 PAGES.]]

 

New research is put into the development of motorised vehicles in the form of Jeeps - armoured personnel carriers capable of carrying 2,4,6 or 8 occupants with light armour, camouflage, and mounted rear-guns for use. Known as Bevans, they are expected to be great help in the deployment of troops in desert or tundra regions. [[8 PAGES.]]

 

 

A similar concept begins with relation to air forces - research beginning into sixth-generation close air support planes that would be capable of flying extensive distances and offering detailed assistance to ground troops. Although not inherently fighter planes, they appear to be a hybrid between them and former CAS bombers. [[7 PAGES.]]

The Belgians would respond warmly to the efforts of the French, accepting most of their proposals save for the idea of a shared foreign policy as the Belgians still wished to be represented as Belgian upon the world stage. The response to the campaigns in Poland and Hungary is also positive, at least for the French side, as nationalist movements continue to gain traction and anti-EU sentiments are at an all-time high. In Poland, a referendum is to be put on the 2021 ballot and it will ask for the complete exit of Poland from the EU. Hungary is soon expected to follow suit. 

In regards to the Occitan independence movement, the efforts of the French government do well to quench the fires of nationalist rhetoric. A recent study done by a local University found that only about 20% of those living inside the region would be in favor of leaving France should it ever come up on a ballot.

The only nation to respond positively to such a proposal would be the Kingdom of Spain who express great interest in exiting a now very German European Union in favor of this British alternative. It would put a referendum on its ballot in 2021 as well in regards to what to do about the economic future of their nation.
