A constitution for a new Nation

Xavier Vallat addresses the people before the old parliamentary building, donning his traditional military uniform look. “Men of France, People of the world, I stand here to announce a constitution for a new age of this Empire. This will be key in ensuring we continue the traditions and legend of Napoleon.” The constitution firstly establishes the position of the President, to serve a term of 5 years. Eligible voters consists of active duty members of the military or honorably discharged members. The constitution also establishes a lower and upper house. The lower house is selected by eligible voters living in various districts. An insignificant amount of delegates are also granted to French Africa for military veterans there. Finally the upper house is exclusively appointed by a special military commission. The primary duty of the lower house is to create laws while the upper house approves laws and has impeachment power. All candidates must either be veterans or have permission from a special military council. As a nation with conscription few are expected to lose voting rights. The first election under this model is expected to take place in March of 1950. (mod)

Britain

 

The German Question, and the fate of Europe

 

British officials write to ALL leaders of European nations to meet in a conference in London to discuss the way forward for European dealings with the militantist threat. Attlee claims it to be “The biggest question of the decade!” There is plans to discuss joint European efforts to deal with and counter any  efforts to undermine the efforts of the west to prolong peace and end further escalation of rearmament and violence in foreign affairs.

 

Dawn of a New Age

 

Attlee would stand from his dispatch box as many prime ministers have done before him, but unlike the rest Attlee promises a ‘New Era’ for British Politics.

“We must stand in the dark to find the light. By God we have found it!” claimed attlee to a reporter when asked about his new policy to colonialism. In the modern time.

Attlees new policy was complete insanity with a hint of genius as some in his party claim when he unveiled plans of a period of slow integration of the colonies to join as equal partners rather than master and servant. This was claimed atop of Attlees new plan to invest heavily in the colonies to grow their economies rather than abusing them a policy followed similarly by Macmillan to a lesser degree.

 

Home Affairs

  • Attlee claims to the people at a speech in Cardiff to a workers Union “ A real living wage is on the rise!” plans to increase the minimum wage by 5% is implemented. Claiming “Honest work for honest pay!”

  • Investment in a new jet powered aircraft is put forward to the military leaders and aviation experts of Britain to use they're rocketry science to build a new class of aircrafts to compete with U.S and Japanese classes.

  • As Well as investment in workers investment in workplace is also hailed with plans to end unemployment in Britain by mid 1950’s by offering men jobs in industry building planes cars and other machinery to help the british economy continue to boom! Building over 200 new factories throughout the nation in key pockets of unemployment.

  • Again Attlee puts forward a welfare state plan amended to better satisfy his party and his liberal allies.

 

Foreign Affairs

  • British government reaches out to the spanish royal family in hiding offering asylum in Britain as well as a marriage proposal to the heir apparent Princess Elizabeth Windsor

  • British Ambassadors in the USA, Japan, Italy and Brazil would all be recalled back home in due haste at the discovery of signing a communist nation to their alliance calling it “ A total abandonment of principle and character. A power grab! Dealing with communists are one thing an alliance is another!” claims Attlee to the global press in an attempt to sway global opinion in his favour.

  • Attlee would ask to hold a meeting with the Sobeski Pact as well as Mexico and Argentine governments respectively on a number of issues

The Federal Republic of Mexico

Domestic

 

 

Education:

(see diplomacy, the exchange between countries)

 

- Some of the best teachers and professors in Mexico (as well as some teachers and professors in America who are invited) gather in one of the Universities of Mexico City to discuss a new curriculum for the primary and High schools of Mexico. The hope is that this meeting will result in a better curriculum being created which help the students learn better.

 

-More High Schools and Primary schools are built across the country so that all of the Mexican children can have a good and proper education. 

 

 

Business:

- (see diplomacy,  investment into South Africa)

 

- Industrial development is further subsidized by the Mexican government. Making starting your own industry a lot easier than before. Again hopefully making sure that more industrial companies are started, which causes more competition and forces all of the companies to compete for who can make the most profit and force them to innovate.

 

-Amongst the media, a new attitude is encouraged amongst certain programs. A belief that anyone can achieve whatever they desire if they work for it hard enough. A belief that even a boy born to the poorest parents in Mexico can with enough hard work and intelligence become a factory owner or the boss of a multinational business. The hope is that this attitude will encourage the people to work harder.

 

-If there are any remaining funds left in the budget for the year the infastructure in Mexico is improved. Or more specifically the number and quality of Highways would be improved.

 

 

Research

- The ever continuous research into a better industry in Mexico continues. This time it is focused on making machines that work just as effective as current ones but is a lot cheaper to make. Hopefully speeding up the speed of industrialization in Mexico.

 

-Research is done on making what is said to be 'an aircraft designed to comfortably transport large amounts of people between countries' ((Commercial airlines)) the hope is that these aircraft can improve the amount of travel between countries. This is based on the jet engine technology of the GPP

 

Counter-Intelligence:

-The DIA is tested on how effective it is. This is done by letting the DIA attempt to keep the Commercial airlines project classified as a test. In the project 10 'infiltrators' will try and infiltrate the project. 

 

These infiltrators will act as if they are spies from the USA, Britain, and France. The DIA are ordered to capture any infiltrators and under no circumstances were to use lethal measures. 

The infiltrators would have subtle details that would indicate that they were spies. These would be tiny, something in their actions which might indicate they were spies. The hope is that the DIA would manage to capture all 10 of the infiltrators

 
Military

 

 

Diplomacy:

-Mexico joins the Global Prosperity Pact. With President Gonalez stating that by getting closer ties with the Americans and more economic developments between the two nations it would reduce the chance of war and it would help bring more prosperity to the people of Mexico.

 

-A decent investment is put into the South African Mining industry. This is to increase the influence Mexico has on the sourcing of raw goods into Mexico as well as generally hoping that this will create more profit.

 

-On top of that, the Mexican embassy proposes that there will be several exchange programs between Mexico and South Africa. Especially among university students between both countries. The hope of this is that the students will mutually learn more by seeing another take on education as well as getting to know the other culture better.

 

President Gonalez hopes that these actions will increase the relations between both of the countries

Roman Empire

 

Student Exchange Programme

With the recovery of academia, top students across the empire would be eligible to participate in a student exchange programme to better develop their learning skills, and to allow for students to experience life in another country or another part of the empire. Requests are sent to the Commonwealth, U.S.S.R., H.R.D., France, Germany, European countries (Portugal, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, etc.). [Mod+Requests]

The Lost Cities

With France and the U.K.'s permission, a group of archaeologists from the three countries would collaborate to reclaim the ruins of the ancient cities of Carthage in Tunisia as well as Petra in Jordan, and search for artefacts from the area. Artefacts collected in this expedition would be split between the three, and those taken by the Empire would be put into a Punic exhibition in the Imperial Museum. [Mod+France/U.K.]

Iranian Mission

With the approval of the Iranian government, churches would be built in communities across Iran to provide religious, and medical services where they are less available as well as providing education for those who desire it. While being built across the country, Christian communities would be given priority. [Mod]

Extended Conscription

The year of conscription (which was previously only required for Greeks and Kurds) would be extended to all men (barring Turks) graduating secondary education, and all women would be required to do one year of civil or religious service rather than military service. [Mod]

The Bulgarian Solution

A meeting is to be held in Adrianople to attempt to unify the country once again. [Mod]

The Imperial Museum

Plans are made to construct a museum in Constantinople that would rival the British Museum and the Louvre. This museum would hold a plethora of artefacts from across the world as well as having modern security systems such as thermographic cameras. [Mod]

War Simulation

Top commanders in the Roman military would be given the task of creating war plans and simulating battles against a variety of opponents to better develop the current military doctrines of which they follow. [Mod]

Technology

A pesticide designed to target. A farming vehicle designed to be affordable and reliable is created. This would allow for quick travel across farmland as well as being compatible with most modern farming equipment. [Mod]

Other

Villas would be created across Greece in a traditional Greek style with the most luxurious being of the Greco-baroque style.

The second half of 1948

 

The USSR begins conducting a Siberian and Arctic geological survey, looking for resources reserves, especially natural gas and oil.  Specialist teams are sent North to areas with a likely reserve to investigate with drilling equipment. (mod)

 

The Russian Oil Economy Plan

 

A late addition to Malenkov’s 5 year plan seeks to massively overhaul the USSR’s fuel production and make it a petroleum exporter to fuel the world’s automotive revolution.  New sources of petroleum in the arctic are to be expropriated, as well as new surveys established in the Caspian sea region. Special funds are allocated to develop oil and natural gas pumps and the necessary infrastructure to process and transport it in Kazakhstan. (mod)

 

The USSR begins constructing pipelines from major extraction sites to refineries to facilitate ease of transport.  

 

To aid with the extraction of oil from oceans, the USSR begins developing an oil rig that can drill into deep ocean or sea reserves.  (mod)

 

The Space Program

 

The USSR commissions the construction of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Moscow to enhance its space ambitions.  The best and brightest of the rocket program and its aspirants will have this facility to coordinate rocket and other space developments.  It will have extensive test facilities and a relatively open line of funding for research and development. (mod for tech slot and progress on space program) 

 

Premier Malenkov reiterates his desire to see a Soviet rocket reach space and then eventually deliver a payload into orbit.

 

The USSR implements the strategic air defense initiative to prevent any possibility of a surprise attack on its soil.  24/7, fighters will be airborne around the border regions of the USSR and standby bombers will be ready at airfields.  Rapid response air brigades are developed, designed around soldiers already mobilized at airbases who can be ready to scramble fighters within minutes.   (mod)

The People's Republic of Spain

 

Generalissimo Juan Guilloto León, General-Secretary of the Communist Party of Spain and President of the Spanish People's Republic, addressed the nation and the world via radio from the Palacio de las Cortes de España, with the whole Central Committee and the Political Bureau in attendance.

 

"Comrades; be you my Red Brothers or my Bourgeois Allies, once again the world has been the victim of the fraudulence and hypocrisy of one nation, a nation that continues her cruel and oppressive ways regardless of her government.

 

I speak, of course, of Britain. For centuries, the British have engaged in mindless imperialism and domineering of lesser lands, where the natives lacked the technological capabilities to defend themselves from the rifle and cannon. Britain speaks of demilitarisation conferences, calls for peace. How can there be peace when millions are forced to live under British boots?

 

Africa, a land where dwells vast sums of wealth, is inhabited by a people bereft of literacy, education and fair treatment because they are black. If Prime Minister Atlee truly desires peace, then his road is simple - he must allow the establishment of sovereign African nations, and support them through their infancy, in order to allow the African people the path currently denied to them - freedom, rights and equality.

 

The People's Republic of Spain is not a colonial power - already we are beginning to give former Spanish Colonies autonomy. The British should learn from our model. They have no right to integrate Africa into their nation, so Africa must be freed.

 

But not only Africa, there are lands in Europe that must be returned to its rightful owner - thus, I call upon Britain to fully commit itself to demilitarisation. I call upon Britain to remove the Mediterranean Fleet and to return Gibraltar to Spain - for it is sovereign Spanish territory."

 

Internal Affairs

-Juan Guilloto León unveils a brand new thesis, the first written on Communism in decades. Taking inspiration from the many revolutionary scholars that went before him, Leónism is presented as the next great step in the Communist ideology. Tenants include:

*Mass industrialisation

*Militarisation

*Market socialism.

*A guarantee of a decent standard of living.

*The allowance of foreign capitalist companies, so long as management is left in native hands.

*Modernisation

*Universal suffrage and regular elections for the Communist Party.

*A commitment to free education and healthcare.

*The introduction of ideals surrounding militant Christian Communism - emphasising the many links between Communist ideals and the ideals of Christian socialism.

*A commitment to the global revolution.

[Mod]

 

-Spanish children begin attending an ideological class at school, three times a week. This class is largely tasked with educating pupils on the various Communist treatises, but also tasked with drawing a direct link between religion and Red values. There is hope it will politicise the next generation of Spanish children. [Mod]

 

-León encourages a new movement, and soon leaflets, posters and speachmakers are in wide circulation. The goal - raising Spanish desires for the return of Gibraltar. Such action is done very heavily along the border between Spain and Gibraltar, in hope that some of the propaganda seeps across. [Mod]

 

-Every factory in Spain - be they native or foreign - is assigned a Political Officer in order to insure adherence to national policy. [Mod]

 

Education

 

-Millions is invested into a full educational overhaul, with key emphasis placed upon the STEM system employed in Italy and Russia. [Mod]

 

-The Ministry for Education announces an extension to its scholarship programme, and spends millions on upgrading Universities around Spain. Many of these funds go towards increasing the number of University students. [Mod]

 

-Spain accepts the Byzantine student exchange program in an effort to continue revolutionising the Spanish Higher Education. [Mod]

 

Industry

 

-The infrastructure programme is restarted under a new supervisor, with extreme emphasis placed first upon connecting the whole country by railroad. [Mod]

 

-Investments into upgrading civilian industry are doubled, while investments into military industry are quadrupled. The Spanish Government demands a capable war machine be built, along with the commercial industry to support it. [Mod]

 

-Japanese automotive and consumer companies are given access to Spain, operating under the condition that factory management be recruited and trained from the Spanish population. Ferrari also opens a factory under such conditions.[Mod]

 

-A series of subsidies are offered to any Spanish citizen wishing to start a small business. The type of business is thought to be irrelevant, so long as a decent business plan is offered a sizable grant will be given. [Mod]

 

-Large scale agricultural grants and subsidies are out into place - agriculture is a key Spanish industry and such grants are given easily in order to modernise farming techniques and equipment. A series of courses are also made available to teach modern farming techniques from other nations. [Mod]

 

-RADAR posts are constructed across the length and breadth of Spain with the aid of Italian engineers. The idea is simple - produce a nation wide RADAR system capable of giving decent warning of enemy ships or aircraft. [Mod]

 

-Resource surveying begins in Northern Morocco, the Spanish Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea. Oil and minerals are the goals. [Mod]

 

Military

 

-Military investment and modernisation continues - Old Guard officers are quietly promoted and pushed into retirement with enhanced pensions, and officers trained in the ideology of lighting warfare are promoted to take their places. [Mod]

 

-Spanish small arms factories transition from older equipment to producing AK-47s and Russian infantry equipment. [Mod]

 

-Political Officers and the Military Paper are introduced to Spain's military in order to ensure total loyalty to the State. Such loyalty is to be encouraged not by brutality and executions as it was in Stalin's Russia, but by glorification, rewards for merit and fair treatment.[Mod]

 

-Spanish pilots begin a programme of highly competitive, mock dogfighting in order to hone combat skills. Pilots with the best performances are glorified in the Military Paper. [Mod]

 

-Likewise, the armour divisions begin a similar series of competitive manoeuvres and wargames in conjunction with the infantry. The idea is to hone the new tactics being learned.[Mod]

 

-A series of airbases are constructed in Spain and Morocco along the Straights of Gibraltar. Such installations are built around the Bay of Gibraltar especially. [Mod]

 

Foreign Affairs

 

-Spain boycotts the demilitarisation conference on the grounds that no Imperial nation can truly be invested in demilitarisation while they maintain an Empire. 

 

-America is given permission to construct a series of navy and air bases in Spain.

 

-The Western Sahara, Northern Morocco and Equatorial Guinea begin the process of being converted into autonomous Socialist Republics. These Republics are designed to self-govern, but also to rely on Spain for military protection and investment, in return for resources. [Mod]

 

Sports

 

-Millions are spent on expanding Spanish football stadiums and teams. All major - and many minor - teams are given government grants in order to improve team quality and to force football forwards as a true national sport. Likewise, the national team receives a higher budget. [Mod]

 

-Boxing clubs are established around the country, and the sport is promoted heavily - Spain hopes to spawn a world champion at some point in the future and fans of Boxing in the government (including the General-Secretary) keep a close eye on potential boxers. [Mod]

 

-Likewise, Equestrianism receives large investment and emphasis, with the Spanish Showjumping Team being the centre of attention. [Mod]

 

-The Spanish Government launches an official bid for the 1952 Summer Olympic Games to be held in Madrid. [Mod]

 

Research

 

-The Ministry for War orders an extension on the TBE-48 project - rather than accept a poor design due to be completed quickly, the Ministry grants the project a lengthy extension and quadruples the project budget. Leading engineers on the project are ordered to refine the design and fix its faults. [Mod]

The Empire would be unphased by the Dutch putting any talks of a deal on ice, in fact Japan would simply say it would attempt to stop to put forward the deal but would instead encourage the Dutch towards a handover of territory by furthering the economic ties between the two Countries. Outside of that Japan would have to seek domestic talent for a revitalisation project of its Cities, to replace most that which was wood with stone.

 

Covert Actions

 

[Will PM the Mod]

 

Diplomacy

 

The Netherlands are once more approached, the Japanese said they’re happy to temporarily put talks of a deal that would transfer ownership of the East Indies on ice. However they would like to more closely tie the Netherlands and Japanese GDP together, a mutually beneficial trade agreement would be offered between the two Countries. Yamamoto hoping the lure of Japanese Consumer goods can help get the Dutch to agree to such. Yamamoto hoping that this would warm Dutch-Japanese relations into accepting the deal offered a year prior in time. (Mod)

The Japanese Foreign Office would beseech Kai-Shek not to accept the proposed French deal, hailing it back to the Unequal Treaties imposed on both early Japan and Qing China. Arguing that Chinese labour is worth more than the zero tariffs that the French offer. In turn Japan would offer a trade agreement that would be more mutually beneficial to both the peoples of China and Japan. (Mod)

 

Domestic Affairs

 

The Japanese would once more seek to revitalise their Cities to make them as modern as their American and European Counterparts and improve infrastructure overall. This time Yamamoto would make clear that Japanese Engineers and Architects would be hired. (Mod)

 

Economic Affairs

 

The Japanese would seek to create pilot schemes for creating new electronic consumer goods, seeking to see how far they can be developed. Looking to create cheaper radios and even televisions and of greater quality. The project would be managed using the Kaizen model. (Mod)

 

Military Affairs

 

The Japanese would seek to expand its Submarine Fleet (Mod)

 

Research Affairs

 

In line with Japanese policy of expanding its universities and STEM, it would put more emphasis and research into it. (Expanding Research Slots, Mod)

 

The Japanese with its knowledge of jet engine aircraft would seek to create a bomber that uses Jet engines. (Mod)

GERMANY

-In response to the tariff applied by the Scandinavian Pact, von Schleicher responds by announcing a trade deal with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will provide a discount on not only iron, but all natural resources, including oil, tungsten, and iron. When faced with criticism in the opposite parties of the Reichstag, he responded: "We must retain our economic edge over our competitors. Moreover, if the Scandinavian nations do not want our business or our domestic items, that is fine by us, we do not need to sell them our domestic goods and services, we can take our business elsewhere, and profit even more. The Soviet Union, cannot do harm to us, it is not in the state to do so. Our real enemy is to the east, the Sobieski Pact!" In return, Germany sends Russia newly graduated engineers for a temporary time on a rotation basis to manufacture consumer goods for them such as fridges, toasters, and microwaves and the like. (Mod for impact.)

 

--Germany attempts to once again increase its domestic production of rubber, by utilizing the new fertilizer created by the massive amounts of Algae in the North Sea. Russian Dandelion Farms are set up around the countries fertile regions, as well as in the colonies. It is hoped that mainland Germany can become at least mostly self sufficient in terms of producing rubber for all of its uses, military, and domestically. (Mod)

 

-Germany also begins to introduce the fertilizer to most farmers in the nation, and they hop the fertilizer will be successful enough to increase the nations agricultural output and not have to rely on foreign wheat or foodstuffs as much, as the nation is forced to do so currently as a result of a lack of fertile farmland available in the highly industrialized and urban nation that is Germany.(Mod)

 

-Scientists are tasked with providing another type of Algae to use in the country. (Mod)

 

-Germany accepts the Byzantine proposal of a student exchange almost immediately, with an entire school being set up near the Rhineland for the students t go where instructional class is given in German, and they learn German culture and history. Louis Ferdinand, begins to visit schools all across Germany as a result, hoping to promote education and the importance of schooling, He visits the school with the Byzantine school especially. (Mod)

 

-The German government begins to promote ideas in schools that have been promoted elsewhere in Germany in Austria, like emphasizing fitness, and military readiness. The Junior Officer Corps begins to set up in schools in Austria, where like elsewhere around Germany, boys can volunteer to learn basic military skills and combat readiness, and it can earn them a quicker promotion if they choose to pursue a life in the German Armed Forces, in any branch they wish to choose.(Mod)

 

-Germany begins a recruitment campaign across the nation, and it is the first to include Austria. Soldiers in the Austrian Army are given a choice to either stay in the service, or leave. If they choose to leave, they will receive their pension, and all the benefits that come with being a veteran. In the meantime, posters, recruitment booths, and more spring up everywhere from cologne to Innsbruck. (Mod)

 

-The Kaiser spends most of the year in Austria, touring the country, speaking with the locals. He dresses in the traditional Austrian manner, and practices Austrian traditions. He has even been photographed skiing in the Austrian Alps. This has all been done to foster and improve relations between the Kaiser of Germans, and the millions of "New Germans" which have entered the country recently. It is hoped that the Austrians can uphold a good opinion of the Kaiser, after spending almost a year in their lands, and learning their traditions and culture. (Mod)

 

-More investments pour into the colonies, and the colonial governor begins to put that money to improve infrastructure for the poor kaffers, set up German Schools, pave roads, and more. Germans in Germany are also encouraged to settle in Angola and Timor, where large amounts of rich, fertile lands await them. It is hoped that in a few years time, the colonies will be home to a large and bustling community of Germans producing for their fatherland. (Mod)

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

A SPECIAL REPORT ON THE BREAKING NEWS FROM THE VERSAILLES TIMES

AN ATTEMPTED COUP by forces loyal to HUEY LONG has failed, but it has started a Civil War that may tear America apart for a long time. Forces loyal to the President Elect and Congress found themselves firing on Minutemen loyal to Long, as well as military units commanded by Vice President MacArthur attempting to seize the capital. Long and MacArthur failed and there would be no quick victory.

 

What followed was stalemate. Over the next 12 hours Congressmen, generals, officers, magistrates and individuals picked sides. 'The Constitutionalists,' 'Blues,' or 'Warrenists' took control of much of the East Coast and Rural South, whereas the West Coast and Industrial South fell into the hands of Long's 'Anti-Congress,' 'Red,' or 'Longist' forces. The Longists are known as the 'Judas' forces to the Blues, who try to paint their enemy as traitors going to war for benefits and pensions, rather than principle.

 

Immediately before the coup, Long railed at Congress and called the election 'rigged', whilst a Republican journalist proved this not to be the case, in another early victory on the propaganda front for the Blues.

-The German Economic Minister, Hjalmar Schacht, is tasked with reversing the effects that the incident with the Scandinavian pact had with the German Empire. Soviet Iron now replaces Swedish Iron, and East Prussia becomes the go to place for Soviet Iron to travel to get to Germany, where it is put on ships and transported to places like the Saar Valley, and the Rhineland to be converted into Steel and exported throughout the world or transformed into domestic products. Investments pour into steel companies and other German industrial conglomerates to modernise factories and push for more goods manufactured, and hopefully improving the economy to be greater or return to pre-Scandinavian pact levels. (Mod)

 

-In response to the outbreak of the second American Civil War, the Kaiser announces that Germany will take in all american Germans who seek to flee from the conflict in America, where, if they can prove they are of majority German Descent. It is hoped that the Kaisers words can create a mass exodus of Germans that have settled in the united states in the 19th century to return to their country of origin, their fatherland. Those who choose to return and pass the credentials are given the opportunity to choose a government assigned house in a city, or a plot of land in the east near poland, where they can live in relative peace and start their lives over in Germany. This law only applies to americans.(Mod)

See the source image

-Germany institutes conscription throughout the Empire. The best and most talented German men from across the Empire are drafted into the Armed Forces. Roughly 4 million men are conscripted, bringing the total number of soldiers up to 5 million. Training begins immediately on them, and the men are divided into their respective Field Marshalls. A high sense of militarization is introduced in German cities. Platoons are often seen Goose Walking around Government buildings, especially near places with a high polish or Czech Minority. Enlistment into the army is heavily encouraged. (Mod)

 

-Heavy nationalist and unionist propaganda is spread throughout Germany, hoping to unite the country. This is especially the case in Austrian Schools, where the German Government seeks to win the hearts and minds of the Austrian youth to formulate a loyal, Austro-German core of young students supporting their rightful Fatherland, Germany.(Mod)

 

-The Government tries again the algae, attempting to this time make a pesticide that it can mass produce and apply on crops across the nation, therefore boosting the country's agricultural input. (Mod)

See the source image

-Defenses are significantly strengthened in the Rhineland and on the border with the Sobieski Pact, in response to them doing so as well. Trenches, pillboxes and watchtowers are all spread along each border to bolster German defences. These defenses are all manned by the German Army, who moves into the rhineland. (Mod)

 

-In response to the attempted coup in Lisbon, the German Government denounces the attempted coup as a ‘Spanish ploy to spread a satanic idea into a moral, christian nation led by a model leader.” 10,000 German Soldiers are transported into Lisbon as a show of solidarity with the Portuguese.

-Germany also, in another endeavour to boost the   economy, starts up a government controlled Automobile manufacturing company under the name Volkswagen. This company had been present under the communist government, however it was plagued by a series of mismanagement, incompetence from its engineers, and corruption. Therefore, the government hires Ferdinand Porsche, the owner of the world renowned company Porsche, t fabricate a car that can be used by the masses, in return the government will provide Porsche with a generous cut of the profits. The result is called the Volkswagen Beetle, and it is hoped that it will become a hit not only in Germany, but all across Europe and perhaps the world. (Mod)

Holy Roman Dominion

 


 

War in Anatolia

March 1st, 1949, after a long 8 years in the mountains of Anatolia from Trebizond to Constantinople, the last police forces leave Anatolia. The last troops to leave were the 44th Infantry Division, previously garrisoning the last Italian base in Southern Galatia, the last place in Byzantium where insurgent activities are still a fact of life, but after 8 years of back-straining work by Italians and Greeks, it seems a true Golden Age has erupted for the people of Anatolia, free of Turkish murderers and rapists. But this is not the end of Italo-Greek relations, one million Italians have settled in Greece and Anatolia and even though the soldiers have left, Anatolia will always stay close to the people of Italy

 

Papal Tour

After taking a brief 6-month break due to illness, the Pope continues his world tour. First, the Pope visits Mexico, visiting many charitable societies and diligently giving out masses to the people of Mexico. After the Papal visit, the Pope makes his way to both sides of the American Civil War, talking in each nation's capitals about the value of peace and a "moral way forward". The Papacy dispatches millions of tons of food and care packages to North America and additionally mobilizes tens of thousands of missionaries from across the Catholic world to help the American people in their time of crisis. (Mod).

 

Chariot Racing

To increase the popularity of Chariot Racing, two new events are added to bring in larger audiences. First of all, acting schools are invited to act out chariot racing operas. These operas will contain plenty of drama and intrigue, splitting and dividing the audience and encouraging participation. One such opera is set in the Roman Civil War with two charioteers masquerading as Ceasar and Pompey. 

 

Secondly, Tzykanisterion is brought back to the Hippodromes and rural fields everywhere. The sport which consists of charioteers with nets trying to move a ball into the enemy net might help the sport compete with games such as football. (Mod).

 

Debt Interest

After taking out a very sizable loan to pay for improvements in Italy and Spain, the Italian government announces the creation of the new Italian Foreign Trade Corporation. This is planned to be a large state-owned and backed import-export corporation. The first order of business is to import large quantities of cheap Anatolian grain and begin exporting it to America where a failed harvest is expected. The Italian government hopes to make back quite a lot of money over the years. (Mod).

 

Holy Roman Dominion Military

The Holy Roman Dominion’s Armed Forces continue with “Vision 1955” for the Federation. While the Navy and Airforce are neglected, for now, the Army is given the budget to pay for (within five years) enough equipment to poorly equip five million men for a two month period. Guns and artillery made in the late nineteenth century are bought up and put into large warehouses. (Mod).
 

Spanish Affairs

The Papacy begins working with the Spanish Government to increase the popularity of Church and State, Communism with Religion. The Pope himself even makes a speech about the matter while visiting Mexico City. (Mod).

 

Research and Technology

Several new laboratories and archaeological sites are paid for in a new series of research grants.  (Mod for Tech Slot).

Roman Empire

 

World Archaeology Association

Headed in Constantinople, the W.A.A. aims to preserve knowledge and artefacts from across the world as well as protecting and preserving heritage sites such as ruins, historical buildings, palaces, etc. All nations across the world are invited to enter. [Mod]

Roman Film Industry

Small investments are made into the film industry. As well, a film titled "Η Οδύσσεια της Γενναίας" or "The Triumph of the Brave" in English, one of the five languages the film would be released in (Greek, English, Italian, Russian, and French). The film would be a three-hour epic following Patriarch Benjamin, Emperor George II, and Field Marshal Alexandros Papagos through the recent civil war commonly known as the Anatolian Crusade. The film would cost a whopping £7 800 000, the highest cost of a film ever which would be shown by grandiose battle scenes and a full orchestral sound-track which would be available for purchase. [Mod]

American Civil War

Americans fleeing the civil war are allowed to settle un-occupied land. Though Greek-Americans are not asked to return, they are asked to serve themselves before either side in the conflict. American scientists, engineers, and professors would be offered jobs upon arrival. [Mod]

The Southern Province

A radio broadcast by the Emperor; "Men, women, and children of the Empire. Today, I speak to you of the liberation of our kin. For too long have the Roman people been under foreign occupation. Be it by the Moslems, Germans, or, in this case, the Westerners. We must work together to free ourselves from those who hold us hostage in our own land. While the British argue with our Arab oppressors, we will save ourselves." An army of 300 000 soldiers accompanied by aerial support moves into the province of Syria, headed for Damascus, and liberating the people from their oppressors. The U.K. are guaranteed liberal zones in Beirut and Aleppo upon Roman acquisition of the province. [Mod]

Technology

The turn-over conveyor belt would be created to increase industrial efficiency, and would be used in factories across the Empire once available. An insecticide which is harmless to humans and deters other animals from harming crops is developed. [Mod]

Other

The previous offer to France and the U.K. still stands.

The H.R.D. automatic rifle, the AM-46, would be integrated into the military. [Mod]
