As the puissant leaders of the formidable nations of the day awake, they find on their desks the daily report of the going on's of the world. Rummaging through, they find in perhaps the third or fourth file something of import. The header might read, "ICC (IndoChinese Confederation) Undergo's Massive Political Coup". Some of the commander in chiefs who display more ignorance and contempt for the smaller of nations might pass the document by, disregarding a nation this small as being of any particular magnitude in the scheme of global and galactic operations. However, these leaders will find that the takeover was more than something of mere interest, but of global importance.
The ICC was formed under the idea of necessity to consolidate power in order to survive in a world where resources were scarce, while their economy was individually inadequate for competing and succeeding among the other space faring nations. This worked thus far, but a serious setback in the fact that they have rather limited space and therefor, could support only a smaller population.
The new party sought to return to these ideals, from which the past government was straying to a militant, war focused power. The first action of the newly appointed leader, a Miyamoto Musashi, an immigrant of Japanese heritage, was to begin the improvement on his country.
Musashi did this in a number of ways. The budget plan was revised and funding was reverted mainly to improving the education, the sciences/technology, economic power, as well as social reform and management. A plan was put in place to completely redevelop how education was dealt with in the country. (1 page?) In order to boost the economy of the ICC, Musashi knew that he required two things. Valuable commodity's, and trading partners. The main resources that have fueled the economy in the past have been the rich deposits of natural resources and REE (Rare earth elements) as well as timber, and offshore oil. However, over exploitation of timber has cut the forests low, and under exploitation caused by the lack of searching for more minerals and oil, has caused it to be largely unused. Edicts are set to begin reforestation, as well as using the oil and mineral deposits of the nation to the maximum. Yet still, the ICC required partners. Envoys are sent to the nations of China, Japan, India, CSA, Dominion, British, and the Germans. These government officials will attempt to initiate trade, and set about the new mantra of the ICC. A nation wishing to avoid war and the degradation of the planet.
The envoy sent to Japan however, carries a special message. "The ICC is under new management. We wish to establish a power capable of surviving in today's turbulent environment, and would be pleased to remain at peace and on friendly terms with a great nation such as yours. Therefor, we extend our hand in co-operation in any and all situations, and offer a trade pact, and a defensive as well as mutually economically and technologically beneficial alliance. The ICC and its people wish the great nation of Japan peace and well being"
However, Musashi makes vast reforms in other areas to. The past government had done little to stabilize, increase, and properly secure the nations safety. As such, Thailand is contacted and presented with a comprehensive list of reasons as to why they should join the ICC. Largely based on the same ideals as what it was once formed upon, it is hoped that the people of Thailand will realize the benefit of the Confederation, and will be willing to join. Failing this, the ICC is prepared to begin propaganda campaigns throughout the nation, cripple their economy through a naval blockade, and infiltrate the political system. (Mod please)
Income of the nation now reverted in the majority to education, economy, and technology, it is hoped that the ICC will be able to become a nation on par with the education of the world. Technology is Musashi's other large concern. The scientists of the nation are called upon to focus on three subjects. The first, Initiative Mechanization. This is so named as it is the effort to produce new robotic technology's to completely control, maintain, and produce more of themselves. These near self controlled robots will only be influenced by humans through a control structure similar to the military in which the they are each separated into divisions of a thousand, each with a small team of managers. However, they will not be militant in any form. The initiative, at this point in time, is to completely replace human effort in the economic and production fields. Robots are planned to be placed in all manual labor divisions, and with time replace humans in the less complex of intellectual fields. (3 pages)
Secondly, the outdated military is to be re-imagined. The squints will be directed to do essentially the same as they are with the labor divisions. Existing technology of the ICC military is not on par with that of larger nations. Most importantly, automation of the military and attempts to remove human involvement from the war efforts are expected. New robotic counterparts to the military are to be developed, such as recon, artillery, amphibian, sea, etc. (5 pages)
Finally, research for social reform is imperative. The ICC will attempt to research psychology, philosophy, and environmental sciences. The effort will be continual throughout the existence of the ICC. The real goal, is the betterment of humanity as a whole, and the preservation of the earth in its most natural and sustainable form. Research will be attempting to find non violent forms of bringing humanity together, ways to solve our issues through diplomacy and words, not guns and screams. The other effort of the research, is the stabilization of the earth. Research is focusing mostly on how the earth works in cycles, how the the resources we exploit are used in a system which produces more of them, just not fast enough. Exploitation and improvement of these natural cycles will of great importance. (Never really stops, its an ongoing effort.)
As his last action, Musashi himself responds to the the Chinese convention by boarding a plane immediately, sending word that he will be arriving in person shortly, bringing no forms of protection as a statement of peace and trust to other nations. (Please let me know if I've any issues such as length of projects or otherwise, this is one of the few of these types of things I've done.)
