Shattered Stars and Stripes Revised (Map Game)

Shattered Stars and Stripes Revised is the Sequel to Shattered Stars and Stripes (Map Game). This game details the chaos within the former US following a collapse of the USA. Now many states looks to establish dominance, while the US Military secures a small area of DC from the seceding states. Pick your State and prepare for Chaos. It is up to  you  to decide who shall rise, and who shall fall.

Background
2021 - China’s economy overheats with GDP growth plummeting into the negatives, with the value of the RMB plummeting. This has a ripple effect, which cascades into throwing the world into another major recession. Unemployment reaches 15% within the United States and is coupled with skyrocketing prices upon many goods. Rising dissent occurs in the US, with several riots occurring and clashes between varied groups.

2022 - A revolution is staged against the Russian Plutocracy

2023  - Central Mexico is devastated by a massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake, which levels several cities including Mexico City. This leviathan of a disaster, combined with the already destabilizing effects of the current economic crisis, results in Mexico becoming a failed state with cartels and rogue factions of the former Government battling it out over territory. This prompts millions of Mexican nationals to flee northwards into the United States.

This major migration only exacerbates the internal situation of the United States, with the already overburdened Federal government proving inept in handling this new calamity and dealing with the continuing economic problems. Efforts to provide relief to these refugees is met with outrage among many in the American public, who are just barely getting by themselves. When the Cartels begin to use the increasing lack of clear law and order within the Southwest to expand their operations (Thus bringing increased violence and drug problems), the Militia movement truly begins to explode in terms of members. Several bloody clashes occur along the border and within cities between fed up citizens and militia groups against the Cartels and the Mexican refugee

2024 - The Texas Governor goes against the Feds to use the National Guard to try to use restore order and force out the refugees, prompting the Feds to remove him by force. This leads to a renewed debate about States's Rights, while a small leftist movement arises in Liberal areas in response to the growth of the Militia movement. This group fights several battles with law enforcement, and manage to take a few cities while the Militias manage to start restoring order in the rural areas. Meanwhile, the conspiracy that establishes the US remnant in D.C. begins.

2025 - The US President is assassinated, proving to be the final straw for the United States. The US government is overthrown, the states begin to succede, starting the Second American Civil War…..

''' launches his coup against the US government. Things do not go as planned however, and the government falls apart. With some military support and a portion of the US navy, he secures DC from the seceding states and prepares for the worst. The seceding US states also prepare to fight, each believing themselves the true successor of the US.(Seceding states and USR gain a Popular revolt for the first 5 turns) (Major enemy bonus granted to all states against the USR)'''

'''The Global Economy collapses, the UN is left in Ruins as the third of the "Big 5" collapses. Violence is on the rise world wide. Many US Soliders Stationed overseas and in other states return to their home states. The power vaccum caused by the loss of the US, China, and Russia only creates more problems.'''

New York: With the mysterious assassination of the US president, New York declares itself separate from the Union. The 42nd Infantry Division, along side numerous other military, law enforcement, and militia groups, form the New York Provisional Army and Navy. Weapons are smuggled in from the black market, or taken from the military and national guard bases in the state. We also begin to seek trading partners. Though the domestic economy is rattled (to say the least) by the collapse of the US, the provisional government of New York takes strides to protect and improve it's economy. '''We request alliances with the nations of Massachussets, Ohio, and Illinois. (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED FOR THE ALLIANCE WITH MA)''' Michigan Republic: We declare independence from the USA, calling the current regime a dictatorship. We begin building up our military, and call upon other states to leave it as well. We ask for an alliance with Ohio and New York. We begin building military weapons to fight the USA, and prepare to invade states that are still loyal to it that border us. We state that we are a democratic republic, and will fight for our rights. James M. McFinn is elected the first President of Michigan, and hopefully not the last. The militia movement attempts to take control of the Upper Peninsula, but are soundly defeated. We launch a full scale invasion of Wisconsin so as to restore order to it. We land troops near Madison, and begin pushing towards it. (half)
 * Republic of Massachusetts: We accept the alliance and express our gratitude over having had New York extend an olive branch to us.

Ohio: We are the third to last state to secede from the US, and still have most of our infrastructure intact. We declare ourselves to be somewhat like the former US was, and model our government off of the old one. We become a parliamentary republic. We accept the deal with New York and Michigan, but attempt to stay relatively isolated for the moment. Other than that, we try to bring up relations with Kentucky. (with secret plans of annexation later on). (Full year turns, probably)

North Carolina: After waiting a few months and seeing that the former United States is in ruins, the government decides that it is best to declare independence from the United States of America. The somewhat of an economy begins to be rebuilt, with a problem already among us; the sea. Wilmington has few ships capable of reaching the strength enough to secure the former United States from potential foreign invaders, and is afraid that many others will fall into the wrong hands. As a result, an invasion on Norfolk, one of the former USAs' largest naval bases, is attacked to secure our nation and the rest on the former United States from foreign forces and to keep seas in a good hand of power between the former USA. (an alliance is Requested with Florida in case any other southern bound states try to attack us both. The government starts influencing South Carolina. (half turns, let the fun last)

South Dakota: After the collapse of the Federal Government's control in the nation Governor Shaun MacGregor calls up the State National Guard along with reservists and the various citizen militias to congregate on the Air base at Ellsworth. There they all agree to create to form the State's new army, the South Dakota Self Defense Force. Meanwhile city officials set a curfew and martial law is put into place. While Pierre, Aberdeen and Sioux Falls come quickly into control of the new nation's government while Rapid cit devolves into Chaos as looters, rioters and various other gangs force Police and city officials out of the city, cutting the city up between their various groups. The city is a battleground as racists, radicals and gangs fight it out in the streets, settling old scores. Governor MacGregor, after declaring his state's independence from the union orders various units of the South Dakota Self defense Force to surround the city and prepare to put down the rioters. Meanwhile Governor MacGregor secures his position at the head of the new nation's government, using his control over the army and police to solidify his rule. The new government begins to buildup its industrial capacity. We request an alliance with the Michigan Republic. New Mexico Things fall apart quickly after the collapse of the US. The governor initially tries to retain order, but is unable to prevent societal chaos. After the government becomes unable to pay the border guards, having prioritized the National Guard and army, they mutiny and abandon their posts. Immediately, tens of thousands of Mexicans cross the border. Militias launch attacks on Mexican immigrants across the state. Having had enough, the ethnically Mexican portion of the population, which makes up about 60%, revolts, supported by most of the other ethnic minorities and the cartels, overthrowing the governor (who is shot) and declaring the Republic of Nuevo Mexico, adopting a constitution based on the Mexican Constitution of 1917. The anti-immigrant militias disintegrate as the cartels deploy thousands of battle-hardened killers, armed with modern weapons. The National Guard and army either join the new government or disband and leave, while rapid recruitment enables the army to be reformed, largely now made up of those loyal to the new government. Weapons pour north over the now open border. The new President, Ayala Salazar, forms a junta made up of left-wing groups, reconquista advocates, cartel interests, and Pueblo Indian local governments. The situation has stabilized by the year's end. An alliance is requested with California and Louisiana (Mod for Louisiana), and full turns
 * Michigan Dip: We accept the alliance offer.
 * Louisiana Response (RNG USED, 1-10, ODD NO, EVEN YES, RESULT:6)Louisiana accepts an Alliance.
 * Cali: Declined

Colorado: After the collapse of the United States of America, Governor Tom Tancredo (who won the 2022 gubenatorial race) declares Colorado to be in a state of emergency. After recognizing the need for a legitimate government, he petitions for state secession. This movement is passed with relative ease, and the state constitution is used in the interim to govern the Mountain Republic of Colorado. Tancredo then convenes a constitutional convention, and a system mirroring the US Constitution is adopted, with counties becoming the equivalent of states. The interim Congress, heavily dominated by conservatives, decides to take control over military installations and streamline the former US Army with the National Guard, into the Colorado National Army. Tancredo then sends the National Army into New Mexico with the intention of seizing the Northwestern quadrant of that state. He also sends expeditions into Oklahoma/Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah.

Pennsylvania: Kevin Lopez becomes the first President of the nation. We leave the U.S, becoming the 5th nation to leave. We start to farm food only for our nation. Steel and oil are our biggest industries. The military starts to form. A boarder control team is set up on the Penn/New Jersey boarder. We ask New York for an alliance. The economy starts to rebuild itself after we leave the U.S. (full years)

Arizona: Arizona cedes from the former US, and the Federal Republic of Arizona is established. Spanish is made a co-official language along with English. A trade agreement is offered with California and Nuevo Mexico. Barbara Rubin becomes the first President of the nation. Meanwhile, the government declares neutrality but builds up the military for only defensive purposes. (Full turns) Nuevo Mexico accepts the trade agreement.
 * CA Dip: We accept the trade agreement

US Remnant: Following Jonathan Friedman's coup, the Provisional Emergency Government of the United States of America is born, also known as the United States Remnant, which secures Washington D.C. and the area around the city, establishing a temporary defensive perimeter. We officially declare to the seceded states to expect no recognition from the Provisional Government. We begin to put down any secessionist sentiment in occupied regions, and decide to immediately invoke the National Restoration and Restructuring Plan, which calls for the restoration of the country in a gradual plan that calls for military action against secessionists and the restoration of the Federal Government in the current civil war's aftermath, should the Provisional Government survive, and lastly, for the gradual process of rebuilding the ruined nation. Meanwhile, any available national guard still not under state control is ordered to head to the D.C. area to be temporarily integrated into the recently reestablished US Armed Forces. (Full turns, my good sirs.)

California: We double expand infrastructure. '''We request an alliance with Washington. '''The República de Nueva Estados Unidos de América(NEUA) is established. Spanish and English are the official languages. Juan Toledo is the first president. '''We request Nevada to join our country, as we can thrive if we join each other.(MOD RESPONSE). '''We immediately begin construction of our navy, starting with 3 destroyers and 2 submarines. The fifth fleet, previously in Bahrain, returns to the US, and decides to stay in California, granting us a navy. (full)

'''Umm... Map. Fleet in Bahrain is not going anywhere near California, I think.'''

Washington: Washington secedes from the US. the United Republic of Washington (hereby it shall be United Republic of Washington) is established. we ask for a NAP with Oregon. military is vastly improven. the Independents (due to the United Republic of Washington being new-founded) are the only parties in the Senate and House of Representatives. Seattle becomes capital, and the Washington State Legislature is being rebuilt, to hold more seats. (half turns)
 * Washington Diplomacy: Washington accepts the Alliance.
 * If you want to openly declare yourself the only successor, then you can't go building alliances. Most states believe themselves to be so but do not openly state so. ~Edge
 * Nevada Response (MOD RESPONSE): We reject (Popular Revolt still in effect, you need to take nations with Force during this time).

Maine:more logging is happing make maine a powerhouse and also lobster and seafood world gets more of maines seafood.

Republic of Massachusetts: With the assassination of the President, Massachusetts announced its secession from the Union. Once this had been done, it was important for Massachusetts to maintain a stable economy as well as to protect it's trade; therefore we set out to bring forth a series of economic reforms. Orders were given to transform the navy that would be strong enough to defend the coasts and to modernize the military in order to push back any invasion. Governor Charlie Baker took up the position of President and orders were given to launch an attack upon Vermont in order to unite the state with Massachusetts. Meanwhile, with New York having sent an alliance to us; we accepted it with gratitude.

Texas: Following the assassination of the President, we secede under the name of the One Star Republic. We declare permanent and unequivocal independence from the United States. Mining and Steel Refining are uped, as is the production of Oil, which we offer to sell to any legitimate government willing to recognize the One Star Republic's sovereignty All military units within our territory swear allegiance to the One Star Republic, and we request that all Texans serving in other units around the Former United States return to their home state. As members of the Mexican Cartels invade New Mexico, a conscription order is announced, and tens of thousands of reserves and those trained to fight are immediately called up, with potentially hundreds of thousands more available if necessary. War is declared. We request that California breaks off its alliance with the gangs that are running roughshod over American Citizens. Texan troops move into New Mexico. Mil & Inf
 * CA Dip: We recognize the One Star Republic, and request an alliance. We want to buy oil.
 * One Star Republic Dip: We accept this request, and allow California to purchase oil at $110 per barrel. (Pretty decent given current situation) Also accept alliance.
 * CA Dip: Deal
 * Michigan Dip: Michigan would also like to gain Oil. What is a good price?
 * OSR: Recognise us as independent, and then its $110 a barrel.
 * New York Requests that instead of trading with Michigan, they trade with us instead. We will pay the $110 per barrel.
 * OSR: Accept New York's terms, assuming New York recognises the independence of the One Star Republic.
 * Republic of Ohio: We accept
 * Washington: We reconginize the One Star Republic.

Oregon: Following the assassination of the President, Oregon secedes from union and becomes independent under name Republic of Oregon. Salem become capital city of Oregon, Governor becomes president and Secretary of State becomes prime minster. The most imported is to build up an impressed armed forces, with over 40,000 troops joins the Oregonian Army each year, 8,000 new tanks and military aircrafts made each year. They builds a minority production of battleships and destroyers to Oregonian Navy. Population grows faster with 500,000 people added each year as well the new skyscrapers are built in Portland. Economy grows faster with new offices and commercial buildings are built in Portland and other largest cities in Oregon. Meanwhile, Oregon asks California and New Mexico for an alliance.

'''Nope. Just nope. 8000 tanks? Only US Battle Tank in production at present: M1A2 Abrams. Manufacturer: General Dynamics Land Systems. Headquarters: Michigan. US Factories: Alabama. Future tank is the M1A3 Abrams, BTW, so still not in Oregon. But sure. You can make 8000 tanks in a year without any factories. Also, 40,000 new recruits in a year would cause irreversible infrastructure damage to your army, as the recruits would far outnumber the actual soldiers, and the training centres would be flooded. And 500,000 babies in a year would mean that in 7 years there would be more babies than adults. So yeah. All wrong. All of it. Rant terminated.'''

'''Eric, remain plausible. Seriously'''

Minnesota is left in a state of flux following the collapse of the US government. The governor is able to initially maintain order, but, as he proves unable to pay government salaries, quickly loses most authority. Acting quickly, the Farmer-Labour Party demands snap elections with its majority in the legislature, which it wins, officially seceding from the US. A new state, the Agrarian Republic of Minnesota, is declared, and a parliamentary system is adopted. The National Guard and military units in the area are united into the Minnesotan Army. Seeing Michigan's invasion of Wisconsin, Minnesota rushes to the defence of its neighbour, declaring war on Michigan. Conscription is declared and 15,000 troops are mobilized.

Virginia retains her neutral stance on recent wars and matters, while we stengthen and improve military power, we garrison more and more troops alongside our border with the United States Remnant. We '''send an alliance request, or at the least, a non-aggression pact request to North Carolina. '''

2026
''' Mod Events will be up later. '''

'''No more maps. Post then at ther regular time, not everytime you win a war.'''

'''ANNOUNCEMENT: The next time someone complains because he lost a war and got his nation destroyed, you will get a ban. Seriously'''

Federal States of New York: With the mysterious assassination of the US president, New York declares itself separate from the Union. The 42nd Infantry Division, along side numerous other military, law enforcement, and militia groups, form the New York Provisional Army and Navy. Weapons are smuggled in from the black market, or taken from the military and national guard bases in the state. We also begin to seek trading partners. Though the domestic economy is rattled (to say the least) by the collapse of the US, the provisional government of New York takes strides to protect and improve it's economy. '''We recognize the One Star Republic as an independent government. '''Elections are held this year to officially establish the New York Government. the Governor wins re-election, creating the '''Federal States of New York. '''We join the war on the Side of the Allies, First by sending soldiers to aid Minnesota-Wisconsin's counter attack. The allies sweep through Upper Michigan, before New York, taking Pressure off of Ohio, invades South East Michigan. By year's end, New York and Ohio surround Lansing, and the Capital falls. With the end of the war, Michigan is divided into 3 states, West Michigan, (Controled by Ohio), East Michigan (Controlled by New York), and Upper Michigan (Controlled by Minnesota). Michigan Republic: Stunned by the unexpected declaration of war by Minnesota, we deploy as many troops as possible to fight off the attack. We declare that we were only restoring order to a lawless region, and call upon our allies South Dakota and Ohio to join us in defeating Minnesota and Wisconsin. We begin producing tanks, and they are sent to the battle front in the Upper Peninsula, with enemy forces nearing Mackinaw City. We recognise Federal States of America as an independent nation, and ask for a trade agreement with them concerning their oil, which we agree to but at $110.
 * North Carolina: The government offers a trade pact, with us sending you agricultural food and for raw materials to help build North Carolina's industry into a leading one in the former USA.
 * FSNY accepts

Agrarian Republic of Minnesota continues to support Wisconsin in the war. As conscription comes into play, more troops can be committed to the war, bringing the total numbers of Minnesotan troops to around 20,000. Various liberal militias within the Republic swear loyalty to it and are combined into the paramilitary Agrarian Guard. Meanwhile, the government raises taxes on the rich to begin paying government employees again, making it less popular among the wealthy but more so among the poor. It also legalizes marijuana, which makes everyone happy. Minnesota appeals to South Dakota and Ohio not to assist Michigan it its unjustified and expansionist attack on Wisconsin, and to fight against unjustified aggression by defending Wisconsin.

'''You....what? You legalized marijuana? really? Once I take you out, I am taking all your terf. Spar. '''

Spar, your nation is dead.

One Star Republic: We continue to battle the increasingly weakening Cartels. After much debate, the heads of the state's various militias are approached, and they become the Republic Defence Force. We offer an alliance to Arizona. Economy is increased. The militias are allowed to retain their independence from the state government, in exchange for a contract to not take up arms against Republic personnel, and to fight in the defence of the homeland, to which they agree readily, swelling our defensive forces to around 45,000. Training of the new conscripts continues apace. An inspection of NASA reveals a single prototype exo-suit, designed to aid astronauts on higher gravity locations, or help pick up large items when in space. This suit is taken to be studied and hopefully recreated.
 * Arizona Diplomacy: President Barbara Rubin kindly declines the alliance offer with the One Star Republic, as Arizona is a neutral state. However, she offers a trade agreement instead.

Republic of Ohio: The first election goes through swimmingly, but their results are shaky. Due to the Federalist candidate Josh Baltimore winning, people are enraged about the lack of Democratic and Republican candidates. Popular revolts occur throughout the new nation, and people want a constitution based on the US one. We take these threats and protests lightly until the Vice President is mysteriously assassinated. Not wanting the nation to collapse under it's own weight, we agree to an actual constitution, and write one up immediately. It is heavily based off of the old US one, but with a few minor changes (to prevent a collapse). Some of the revolts stop, while others continue. We send our loyal troops to handle them. We offer Minnesota an alliance and attempt to raise diplomatic relations with the USR and Kentucky. Kentucky is doing well, and is beginning to lean towards us for help. ''As an act of kindness towards Minnesota, we send in 10,500 troops to attack Michigan from the south. This leaves us with 17,000 troops in our main state.''
 * The Agrarian Republic accepts the alliance.
 * The USR hates all of us

Arizona: Arizona continues to build up the military for only defensive purposes. Some funding is put into public transportation and alternate fuel sources.

Pennsylvania: Farms continue to grow food for our people. Steel and oil are our biggest industries. The military continues to add more people. A boarder control team continues to add more people to the Penn/New Jersey boarder. The economy continues to fix itself since we left the U.S. Marijuana is legal in our nation which makes people happy, more sales, and more money in our nation.

South Dakota: Despite calls for support from her ally, Michigan, South Dakota cannot come to the assistance of its ally as rebels in Rapid City have the state's attention at the current moment. However Governor MacGregor admonishes the pointless act of aggression perpetrated by Minnesota and promptly breaks off diplomatic relations with the Agrarian Republic. In response to the aggression of Minnesota the Governor orders 10,000 troops from the South Dakota Self Defense Force to the border with Minnesota. These troops are there for defensive purposes only. The government begins to build up industry and develop South Dakota's fracking industry. We ask for an alliance with Ohio and a trade alliance with the One Star Republic.

Republic of Massachusetts: With the assassination of the President, Massachusetts announced its secession from the Union. Once this had been done, it was important for Massachusetts to maintain a stable economy as well as to protect it's trade; therefore we set out to bring forth a series of economic reforms. Orders were given to transform the navy that would be strong enough to defend the coasts and to modernize the military in order to push back any invasion. Governor Charlie Baker took up the position of President and orders were given to launch an attack upon Vermont in order to unite the state with Massachusetts. War was aged upon Vermont, and within 2 years; we had managed to occupy 27% of Vermont, therefore terming our invasion a success. Having already signed an alliance with New York, we called upon the Republic of Rhode Island to sign a Joint Defence Pact with the Republic of Massachusetts, that is us. [Mil/Eco Turn]

The Mountain Republic of Colorado has its first elections since independence. There are two primary parties in the MRC: the Libertarians and the Socialists. This interesting split is the result of the breakdown of the US' two-party system. The Libertarians, who, quite contrarily to traditional libertarian values, embrace an aggressive foreign policy, win the elections by a wide margin, keeping President Tim Tancredo in office. The National Army now numbers about 40,000, with a total population in Colorado of 6.5 million. The forays into New Mexico have been quite successful, with the Republic having secured ten counties from violent cartels and Mexican warlords. The US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is retooled to host the Colorado Military Academy. Tancredo and the Congress decide to redefine the tax code and regulation system as opposed to using the outdated American system that was inherited. As a result, regulation on oil production greatly decreases and fracking is opened up to more of the state. The idea of double taxation is done away with, and a single national income tax covers all expenses, with counties receiving all of their funding from the national government. A lot of infrastructure is poured into the cities of Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Pueblo in order to create oil refineries and other industry. An attempt is made too attract industry through the aforementioned reforms and political stability.
 * One Star Republic Diplomacy: With all due respect to Colorado, we must ask politely for you to withdraw from New Mexico, or it will be seen as an armed incursion into the Republic's territory, and dealt with as such.

'''NEUA: We declare war on Oregon, and call upon Washington to aid us in our effort. The war with Oregon goes very well, and Salem falls on 26 October. '''Marihuana can only be used for medical purposes. Cigarettes are banned. Arizona is asked for an alliance. United Republic of Washington: We recongnize the One Star Republic. Military and Navy is improved. Scientology begins to grow.
 * United Republic of Washington: We aid NEUA in the Invasion of Oregon.

Why was everything crossed out?. IrishPatriot (talk) 08:07, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

Florida: We have our first elections since declaring independence. Ronald Ferguson is elected the president of Florida and has sworn into office. The orange industry and tourism continues to grow rapidly. We ask the Federated States of New York for an alliance.

Federal Republic of North Carolina: After the succession of securing Norfolk to prevent others from getting their hands on many valuable ships there, the military is being built up to secure the area from others. The economy also improves also, with a shipbuilding industry being founded in Norfolk to help make more ships to secure the government. A vote is held, where the country is renamed to the Federal Republic of North Carolina. '''A trade pact is asked for with California and Texas, <to fuel our navy, one of the biggest of the former USA. ''' The government continues to influence South Carolina.

More resistance than expected is found in Oregon, making it harder for troops to capture Oregon's Capital (War takes one more year).

Subbed out this event for the other.

Most Mexicans that have moved to the former country of Nuevo Mexico are starting to illegally immigrate to Arizona, with the imminent danger that they might bring drug cartels with them to their new home.

'''The UN is offically disbanded as the world collapses into Chaos. '''

'''The Second Russian Revoultion ends with the collapse of the Oligarchy/Plutocracy in Russia. A new, provisonal Government is formed with the guidance of the EU.'''

Seeing the disorder in Oregon, Leftist parties take rise, some using violence in the occupied territories.

Republic of Massachusetts: With the assassination of the President, Massachusetts announced its secession from the Union. Once this had been done, it was important for Massachusetts to maintain a stable economy as well as to protect it's trade; therefore we set out to bring forth a series of economic reforms. Orders were given to transform the navy that would be strong enough to defend the coasts and to modernize the military in order to push back any invasion. Governor Charlie Baker took up the position of President and initiated the start of developments in the navy with orders given to construct 24 frigates and 4 cruisers, with plans having been brought forward to construct an Aircraft Carrier. Men were conscripted into the navy and military with a National Guard of 40,000 men established. Moreover, being of the few states with coastlands; Massachusetts took upon a large part of trade with foreign nations, especially those in Europe. Having already signed an alliance with New York, we called upon the Republic of Rhode Island to sign a Joint Defence Pact with the Republic of Massachusetts, that is us. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Rhode Island Accepts.

Federal States of New York: With the mysterious assassination of the US president, New York declares itself separate from the Union. The 42nd Infantry Division, along side numerous other military, law enforcement, and militia groups, form the New York Provisional Army and Navy. Weapons are smuggled in from the black market, or taken from the military and national guard bases in the state. We also begin to seek trading partners. Though the domestic economy is rattled (to say the least) by the collapse of the US, the provisional government of New York takes strides to protect and improve it's economy.  We join the war on the Side of the Allies, First by sending soldiers to aid Minnesota-Wisconsin's counter attack. The allies sweep through Upper Michigan, before New York, taking Pressure off of Ohio, invades South East Michigan. By year's end, New York and Ohio surround Lansing, and the Capital falls. With the end of the war, Michigan is divided into 3 states, West Michigan, (Controled by Ohio), East Michigan (Controlled by New York), and Upper Michigan (Controlled by Minnesota). '''We offer to construct tanks for Minnesota, all we need are the plans they aquired. '''We can currently only produce on the small scale, though the hope is that, in time, we can expand our industry to allow for greater production. One step to continue this is to retro fit factories to produce tools of war. We also begin to develop industries such as Glass, with Cornery Glass leading production of Fiber Optics and Durable Glass. New York's growing industry creates a stable, reliable stream of lower income jobs. Population stands at roughly 22 million, with our armed forces numbering 42k in total.
 * Reformed Republic of Michigan: Military and economy improve. New York Occupation ends, with a new government being formed. Government sponsered Industrial programs, Known as "Operation Re-Energize", begin. these include the construction of new factories as well as the retrofitting of older factories to allow for increased output of both military and nonmilitary goods. Fracking begins to decrease reliance on Texan Oil in both New York and Michigan, but Texan oil still makes up a majority of our oil use. Population stands at roughly 6 million, with 12k armed forces,
 * Minnesota agrees and provides copies of the plans.

Virginia continues to build up military. As we continue to garison troops, we ponder about invading the West, uniting two Virginias.

Agrarian Republic of Minnesota The dominant Farmer-Labour Party renames itself to the Agrarian Party to match its paramilitary wing. Following the conquest of Michigan, much of its military-industrial complex is transferred to Minnesota. The headquarters and manufacturing centre of General Dynamics Battle Systems is ransacked, while its stockpile of tanks and fighters is opened to the Minnesota military. The government begins manufacturing of rifles, while retooling outdated factories to produce tanks. The military is expanded to 20,000. The government also continues its liberal drug policy, legalizing dozens of drugs, including heroin, following Portugal's model. Some Michigan officials and troops flee into North Dakota, where they seek refuge. Seeing this as a justification to seize an opportunity to remove a rival and reestablish stability in North Dakota, Minnesota invades, deploying 15,000 troops and its newly enlarged but still small air force. Minnesota urges South Dakota to join the war to stabilize the former state.
 * Upper Michigan joins the war, while improving military and economy.

'''You cannot make tanks from a headquarters, because it is not a factory. Spend a turn or two studying the blueprints and converting car factories or whatever. Currently not possible, nor will it be next year.'''

'''And it will never happen. The Yooper has no factories. And just so you know, the militia movement is racist. '''

US Remnant: The Provisional Government begins to push further into Maryland, while Jonathan Friedman is selected by the remnants of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to be the head of the Provisional Government. We begin to hunt down any suspected rebels in accordance with the National Restoration and Restructuring Plan, while we begin planning an invasion of Philadelphia in secrecy, codenamed: Operation: Liberty Bell. Meanwhile, we decide to monitor the situation in West Virginia carefully in order to ensure the safety and security of the Provisional Government. Any unassigned troops are then garrisoned at the Virginian border, fearing a possible attack.

Meta.

One Star Republic: Troops move to the new border with Colorado, who we demand negotiate on the settlement of New Mexico, as they have currently unlawfully seized an area of our New Mexican Territories. Continue studying the exo-suit. We offer an alliance to Alabama. Training continues, and the Class of '27 joins the military, swelling it to around 50 thousand, with 15 thousand of those in purely defensive positions. The Militias are given standardised weaponry, and training begins, as many militiamen are inadequately prepared for an actual war, armed only with shotguns as they are. Mass production of rifles begins, and after a few stop-start attempts by private companies, the government is forced to standardise, leading to the planned production of the Standard Militia Rifle (SMR), a bolt action rifle, whilst the Army of the One Star Republic will be given the Standard Infantry Rifle, a semi-automatic rifle. Both willl load with the same cartridge. Officers will carry pistols, loaded with standard clips, whilst Special Forces will be armed with assault rifles and other weapons as and when they are required. This plan will go ahead as soon as possible, likely next year. Our first Election results in the election of Rick Perry as President, as expected. We hope for a peaceful resolution to the New Mexico issue. Military/Infrastructure Turn. Republic of Ohio: We work on weakening the remaining revolts in the country, changing our constitution to be even more like the former US'. We change our name from the Republic of Ohio to the Unites States of Greater Ohio, and it divide our country into seven states. We use this year to focus on building up our military, and putting up minor propaganda to get people to join our army. We gain 1,560 troops by the end of the year, for a total of 18,560 troops in the original state of Ohio. We work on getting the 7,900 troops that survived the Great Lakes War back to Lima or South Michigan safely. The states in Michigan integrate relatively nicely, with only minor revolts (due to the country being similar to the former Michigan Republic). Because we have an active tank producing factory in Lima, we offer Minnesota production of tanks if they give us their new tank plans. We work on bringing up relations with Kentucky, and send 1,250 troops to help them crush their revolts. We have plans to vassalize them in the near future. [Military Turn/Naval Power]
 * Minnesota agrees

Arizona: Arizona continues to build up the military for only defensive purposes. Some funding is put into public transportation and alternate fuel sources. President Barbara Rubin sends the Arizonan National Guard to the Arizonan-Nuevo Mexican Border to try and stop immigrants that are fleeing here illegally and has that border have tighter security for the time being. Cops across the nation are ordered to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity and to crack down on any drug cartels they find.

Indiana: We begin building up our military. We request that Minnesota end it's war against North Dakota.

The Missouri Republic: After several riots, we secede from the United states by popular vote. We start working on organizing our military, currently numbering about 35,000 men, but its unorganized. We do this by dividing it into 7 "legions" of 5,000 men each. Many are commanded by officers of the former United States army. Well it is not the most effective fighting force ever, we plan to standardize their weapons as much as possible. We also recover 16 fighters from bases across Missouri. The new government knows a Military will not support the economy alone, so we work on subsidizing farming and factory work. We request an alliance with the One Star Republic and the Republic of Ohio. South Dakota: In support of our neighbor's efforts to stabalize North Dakota we deploy 12,000 soldiers in support of the invasion. Meanwhile Governor MacGregor orders a draft to be enacted for three weeks calling a further 13,000 men to the armed services. Elsewhere, South Dakota's first defense factory, the plant is designed to build tanks and other armored vehicles. The engineers running the factory take three weeks to look over the design of the M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams. Meanwhile with the help of private investors the country's fracking operations begin, we are looking for customers to buy any excess oil. However the fracking draws protests from local enviormentalist groups which are quickly put down by police and militiamen, 16 people are killed in clashes. In Rapid City the 1,500 SDF troops that surrounded the city are ordered to retake the bloody metropolis. In 48 hours of brutal combat between police, troops and rioters the government reclaims control of the city. Over 200 members of various racist and Neo-Nazi organizations that helped to instigate the violence are arrested and put on trial The Missouri Republic dip: Regarding your excess oil, we are willing to buy it at a reasonable price. We are willing to pay from $75.64 - $99.76 american dollars per barrel, but we are willing to negotiate.
 * United States of Greater Ohio: We agree to your proposition.
 * the Missori republic: thank you for accepting
 * NEUA Dip: Seeing as you have excess oil, we would like to buy it. $95 per barrel?
 * South Dakota: Due to competition with the oil industry of the One Star republic we are willing to sell the excess oil at $95 a barrel. Thus we accept the NEUA and Missouri Republic's offers.
 * The Missouri republic: we will buy 8,600 barrels of oil from you at 95 dollars a piece. if you accept, the transaction will take place as soon as possible
 * South Dakota: Agreed, expect the oil to be delievered by the start of 2028. 
 * The Missori Republic: agreed we will pay you on delivery

Atlanta: Rising unrest in Georgia and around it forces authorities to organise elections. The most popular candidate is Jack Sweettea (for the lolz), he is a great speaker and manages to persuade the public that the state needs to take part in the action to prevent some "external" power catch it napping. Sweettea wins the elections and proclaims himself The president of Atlanta, renaming the state after it's capital city. Federal administration is replaced, as are the laws. Special force units and former National Guard units are reformed as the base for the new national army. 100 units of militia, with 100 men each are formed and trained by aforementioned special force units. Even tho numbers are quite good, militia is poorly armed, with most people using their own guns and light helmets/armor for now. Military headquarters promise to fully equip militia units by the end of next year as the state has more than enough equipment in reserve. In total, there are 11,000 men in National Army and 10,000 men in militia units. State also has decent Air Force and Navy. Diplo: We seek close cooperation, trade and all that stuff with South Carolina so we could later unite into one state. (Vassalisation)

Pennsylvania: Farms continue to grow food for our people. Steel and oil are our biggest industries. The military continues to add more people. A boarder control team continues to add more people to the Penn/New Jersey boarder. The economy continues to fix itself since we left the U.S. Marijuana is legal in our nation which makes people happy, more sales, and more money in our nation.

'''Guys seriously stop acting like marijuana makes everyone happy and is the most important thing, it doesn't make your population really happy. Unless your country is called 420BlazeIt'''

'''It doesn't make everybody happy. But it makes a lot of people happy. And as for it being the most important thing, well, that's a matter of personal opinion.'''

United Republic of Washington: We invade Idaho.

USW: Develop Mil and Eco. We seize the nuclear weapons stationed in California and in Oregon, and keep them here for now. We begin making chemical weapons and dirty bombs. The NEUA was a transitional name, fueled by ambition and passion in the start, but we decide to rename ourselves into the more diplomatic name of United States of the West(USW). Oregon is incorporated into our country, as the State of Oregon. This makes it the third state in the country, after California and Los Angeles. The leftist uprising is more tenacious than expected, and they have a few successes in Oregon, mainly the occupation of a part of Salem, which is defeated quickyl though.

North Carolina: Double develops economy.

2028
''' The leftist extremists have a few minor successes in Oregon, mainly the temporary occupation of a part of Salem. They are stronger in Washington however, where they make more mahor gains. This Lefist Group proclaims themselves "The Nationals". One sucsses of this group is an attack on a Californian Military Depot, where they are able to kill 6 soliders and also aquire dozens of combat rifles, shotguns, and other miltiary grade weapons and ammuntion. Using these supplies, the Nationals launch an attack against Washginton Occupied Oregon, damaging several key locations. ~Edge'''

USW: Develop Mil and Eco. '''We invade Nevada. '''Great progress is made, and Carson City is captured after 5 months. However, the Nevadan governemnt had already moved towards Las Vegas, and thus Nevada still stands. In the new elections, the Leftist Party makes a rise, but Juan Toledo of the Nationalist Party remains president of the USW. A new policy is implemented, the Reverse Manifest Destiny, focused on expanding our strong and stable nation into the areas that are less strong. with the war against Nevada as the first example.

US Remnant: Within the year, Maryland becomes the first state to be successfully retaken by the Provisional Government. Reconstruction of Maryland's infrastructure begins, in accordance with the National Restoration and Restructuring Plan, whie we begin to hunt down suspected rebels in the region. Meanwhile, Operation: Liberty Bell begins to reach the final stages of planning, while we decide to encourage membership in the military in order to bolster our ranks, while simultaneously, we decide to provide some more intensive training to our forces, in order to provide them with the best training and equipment available at the present time. Meanwhile, in order to refuel our Navy, we decide to reopen Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, much to the dismay of the locals.

Federal States of New York: With the mysterious assassination of the US president, New York declares itself separate from the Union. The 42nd Infantry Division, along side numerous other military, law enforcement, and militia groups, form the New York Provisional Army and Navy.

'''(Little Slow with this, Sorry) We accept Florida's Alliance. '''With DC's recent invasion of Maryland, the Coast Gaurd/Navy remains on alert off the coast of NYC

Dakota Confederation: With the collapse of North Dakota and the annexatio of Western North Dakota, Governor MacGregor declares the newly expanded South Dakota to be renamed the '''Dakota Confederation. '''The 13,000 troops currently deployed to North Dakota become the new occupying forcing taking over the jobs of the local police and militia forces as they are investigated by the newly created Bureau of National Affairs, a investigatory agency meant to collect intelligence, and provide other internal "security measures". The North Dakotan shale deposits are quickly taken over and put back to work. Meanwhile the Confederation begins developing their small airforce with now two major air bases in their hands. Shaun MacGregor, feeling that Governor no longer suits his job anymore changes his title to Chancellor. The population of the Confederation sits at about 4.5 million. The shipment of oil promised to Missouri is delievered on time. '''We ask for an alliance with the Agrarian Republic of Minnesota, The United States of Greater Ohio and The Missouri Republic. We are also looking for more customers to buy up excess oil. Prices are set at $90 per barrel.''' Arizona: Arizona continues to build up the military for only defensive purposes. Some funding is put into public transportation and alternate fuel sources. The Arizonan-Nuevo Mexican Border continues to be watched over carefully and security is extremely high, so to stop illegal immigrants in their tracks. Cops across the nation are ordered to keep an eye out and continues cracking down on any drug cartels they find.
 * Reformed Republic of Michigan: Military and economy improve. New York Occupation ends, with a new government being formed. Government sponsered Industrial programs, Known as "Operation Re-Energize", begin. these include the construction of new factories as well as the retrofitting of older factories to allow for increased output of both military and nonmilitary goods.

 * Minnesota requests an alliance with New York.
 * New York Accepts.
 * USGO: We accept the alliance.
 * Minnesota accepts the alliance.
 * The Missori Republic: we accept your alliance and express our willingness to buy more oil as soon as our current order is delivers

Pennsylvania: Farms continue to grow food for our people. Steel and oil are our biggest industries. The military continues to add more people. The military tightens the Penn/New Jersey boarder by adding more troops to the boarder. The economy continues to fix itself since we left the U.S. We ask New York if it is ok if we can trade with them. More planes and tanks are being built in military factories.

United States of Greater Ohio: Another 1,600 people join our army. This means that there are 26,810 troops in the USGO and 1,250 in Kentucky. The main rebellions have mostly stopped, as we have complied with most of their demands. Although, a new type of revolt has risen in our Northern Michigan state. We send 1,600 troops to deal with the rebels, and they are mostly taken care of by the end of the year. We work on our naval power, and begin to ship tanks into Minnesota by barge. [Military Turn/Naval Turn]

Pacific State: the United Republic of Washington is renamed to the Pacific State. We have conquered 13% of Idaho.

Atlanta: Militia units get full equipment and necessary training, so the units are now part of regular Atlantan army. 20 more militia units are formed. 7,000 troops are relocated to the border with Alabama, 5,000 more to the border of Tennessee. President Sweettea gains many more followers for his aggresive policy of "self-defense". More and more people are supportative of military intervention to secure the region. This effort will be nullified without a strong economy and so the massive changes are introduced. Since the state mostly uses nuclear power and gas for energy (I exclude coal because it was like 30 percents in 2013 so by 2028 it would be even less), it is planed to build one more nuclear power plant and far more HEPP's. Old factories are being retrofitted to be as efficient and as good as possible, hybrid cars and public transportation are encouraged. This will supposedly make the state cleaner and more green, as well as decrease the demand to import oil and gas. Agricultural sector is given subsidies to increase output of food, and soybeans in particular. All four major ports get funding to renovate and buy more ships so trade would increase and bring more profits. Diplo: We seek close cooperation, trade and all that stuff with South Carolina so we could later unite into one state. (Vassalisation)

Agrarian Commonwealth of Minnesota Following the conquest of eastern North Dakota, the conquered territories are split into two; the northern half, containing much of the valuable Bakken shale oil reserves, is annexed directly into Minnesota, while the southern half becomes the People's Republic of Fargo. The government is reformed into a Commonwealth, in practice simlar to a unitary state. Fargo and Upper Michigan join the Commonwealth as associated states. The first national elections are held. The Agrarian Party wins 40% of the seats, followed by the centre-right Minnesota First Party with 27%, the Socialists with 23%, and the Greens with 10%. A grand coalition is formed between the two largest parties, and the Agrarian Johan Lukeno becomes Chancellor. Factories continue to be refitted to produce tanks using the knowledge and plans taken from Michigan, while more factories are refitted to produce AK rifles. Several dozen nuclear ICBMs are captured from Army bases in North Dakota. Although unable to use them, they are disassembled. The contents are placed under guard and technicians begin work on producing gun-type fission bombs (which require little technology) and dirty bombs. The government continues to consolidate leftist militias into its own paramilitary group, while giving them free rein against right-wing ones. Meanwhile, conscripts enter the military, while militia members are recruited, and it expands to 23,000. The navy expands also. The government offers oil for sale at $95 a barrel, while expanding hydroelectricity to cover domestic needs. Minnesota accepts. Indiana: We begin building up our economy, and ask for an alliance with Ohio and New York. We also request a trade agreement with Texas.
 * Upper Michigan begins construction of several armed ships for the navy. The economy improves.
 * Fargo works on expanding oil production and recruiting for the Commonwealth.
 * The Missori Republic: we request an alliance with the Agrarian Commonwealth of Minnesota

Utah declares itself the Holy Republic of Deseret and begins building up for the unity of Mormons everywhere. Troops are deployed along the border with Idaho and other states that have Mormons, and the government begins calling on them to fight for their religious freedom. Deseret invades Wyoming to bring it's Mormons home.

The Missori Republic: We first take stock of our military situation. Of our 7 legions, 2 are combat ready and 2 more are close. The none ready legions are sent to different locations across the country to receive training and standardized weapons. We also retrofit 2 factory's to create a new fighter the M-23. this fight will have medium range and a maximum speed of 974 mph. Each factory is scheduled to produce 36 of them by next year. we begin planing operation: DREAMLAND. this is a plan to either attack or defend ourselves from neighboring country's. as well as DREAMLAND we work on 2 more operations, operation: BEAR and operation: TITAN. we also plan to add 1 more legion, to be active by mid-2029. we offer to buy more oil, we will pay up to 98.64 american dollars a barrel. we also ask for an alliance with both Atlanta and Florida. One Star Republic: Mil/econ turn. Continues training new recruits. Demands Colorado withdraws within the year.
 * Atlanta: We accept alliance offer from Missouri.
 * Dakota Dip: The shipment of 8.600 barrels of oil is delievered as ordered.
 * The Missori Republic: we pay $817,000 american dollars for the oil. due to the expected increase in fuel demand next year we would like to order an additional 16,780 barrels of oil, at any price under 98.64 american dollars per barrel

Deseret Dip: Deseret offers it support to the One Star Republic, and will aid them in defeating Colorado.

North Carolina: Double develops military.

With the conquest of Vermont, it is decisively annexed. [Naval/Eco Turn]

Arizona: Arizona continues to build up the military for only defensive purposes. Some funding is put into public transportation and alternate fuel sources. The Arizonan-Nuevo Mexican Border continues to be watched over carefully and security is extremely high, so to stop illegal immigrants in their tracks. Cops across the nation are ordered to keep an eye out and continues cracking down on any drug cartels they find.

US Remnant: We continue to repair Maryland's infrastructure and recruit more troops. The Provisional Government decides to finally launch Operation: Liberty Bell, as tanks begin rolling across the Pennsylvanian border. We continue hunting down rebel forces across the newly integrated state of Maryland, while we decide to plan out our post-Liberty Bell long term plan. We begin to make the necessary modifications to Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, once again, much to the dismay of the locals. We decide to also turn Guantanamo Bay into a Navy refueling station to compensate for Puerto Rico's Roosevelt Roads. In other areas, we begin to start opening factories in Maryland from the already standing or recently reconstructed infrastructure to increase military strength.

Pennsylvania: Farms continue to grow food for our people. Steel and oil are our biggest industries. The military continues to add more people. The military tightens the Penn/New Jersey boarder by adding more troops to the boarder. The economy continues to fix itself since we left the U.S. We start to trade with New York. More planes and tanks are continuing to be built in military factories.

One Star Republic: Follow the Coloradian refusal to back down, Texan forces cross the border into Colorado-Occupied New Mexico. We offer non-military support to any defence of Pennsylvania following the Remnant's illegal and unjustified assault on the state. Recruitment continues, and more conscripts are fully trained, bringing our war time strength up to 80,000, and our peacetime up to around 50,000. Our only aim in the war with Colorado is to remove their forces from New Mexico. We continue to research the exo suit, and begin to understand how to create another. We offer to make Alabama a protectorate of the One Star Republic


 * Deseretan Dip: An alliance is proposed to combat Colorado. Deseret would like the border counties.
 * OSRD: Accepts
 * Alabama Response (MOD RESPONSE):Rejeceted.

Holy Republic of Deseret: Following it's defeat in the Wyoming war, President Henry Young, of the Deseret National Party, or DNP, blames the Catholics as traitors, and they are banned from holding any civil office. War is declared upon Colorado, and an invasion is launched to aid Texas and bring the Mormons of Colorado into their new home. The entire Colorado border is proposed as becoming part of Deseret. We begin rounding upon members of the PAPP, and shipping them off to prison camps. North Carolina: Dexlares war on the US Reminant.
 * USW Dip: Any deed done by Deseret that goes against our interests will be met with force. This includes the Pacific State. We also inform you, as we are a proud Catholic nation, that a genocide of Catholics will NOT be tolerated. 
 * Deseret has done no such thing. 
 * They are only in Michigan
 * The Nationals are the closest thing to the PAPP in the West, though they are currently limted to Oregon, North Cali, and Washington State.

Virginia the land of sweet 72 virgins, declare war on the USR.

The Missori republic: we now have 7 legions, 3 ready for combat, 2 on standby, and 2 in reserve. our fighter factory filled only made 35 fighters last year and will be shut down for the time being, until our economy can support more fighters. we finally locate a chemical weapons facility. our scientists say by 2031 we will have about 14 useable weapons. we start to build up industry, subsidizing many factory's along the Missouri river. these factory will hopefully build our economy pretty well within 2 years. We also start a more formal government. 3 main party's emerge, the republicans, the democrats and the federalists. the president, to serve a 3 year term is republican John Lee. currently, our unemployment rate is 6.8% so we offer more military and factory jobs to reduce it to about 6.4% by the end of the year. we also wish to buy oil from the '''Dakota Confederation. '''we will buy as much as you are willing to sell at 102.00 american dollars a barrel. we finish the plans for operation: DREAMLAND and operation: TITAN. we also ask New York for an alliance.
 * New York Accepts

'''Federal States of New York: The Hour of Reckoning is here. '''With the USR's invasion of Pennsylvania, New York declares war upon DC, moblizing our armed forces to cut off off the US forces. Though we are able to stop the US from collapsing Pennsylvania, the damage done to their nation is severe. New York leads the Coalition For Liberty in Operation Shattered Stars and Stripes, a counter attack against the USR. A draft is issued, calling an abled bodied male or female between the ages of 18 and 40 to pick up a rifle and fight. This causes the numbers of the New York Armed forces to swell from 50,000 to almost 75,000 (this includes militias btw). The military is improved. Economy is transtioned to a war time model, with a focus on rapidly developing our industy to meet the need for the war. As the war begins in to sway in our favor, We propose the Treaty of Washington DC  to the other members (Leaders) of the Coalition of Liberty.(The full treaty will be up later).


 * Reformed Republic of Michigan: Military and economy improve. New York Occupation ends, with a new government being formed. Government sponsered Industrial programs, Known as "Operation Re-Energize", begin. these include the construction of new factories as well as the retrofitting of older factories to allow for increased output of both military and nonmilitary goods. Fracking begins to decrease reliance on Texan Oil in both New York and Michigan, but Texan oil still makes up a majority of our oil use. Population stands at roughly 6 million, with 25k armed forces. A special forces team is deployed to combat violent leftist movements.

Agrarian Commonwealth of Minnesota expands its military to 30,000 active-service, with larger numbers available through militia networks. Conscripts continue to pass through training and enter the military. Although heavily supportive of the war on the US Remnant, Minnesota does not get involved, feeling that the distance and logistics, as well as the overwhelming odds, would prevent it from making an effective contribution. Non-military support is sent, however. Small-arms production rises, but is carefully controlled by the government. Meanwhile, efforts to retrofit car factories to produce tanks finish, but only eight tanks are completed this year, with production expected to rise next year. Troops are moved to the southern border with Iowa, the major remaining non-ally in the region. Plans for Operation Butterfly, an invasion of the state, are finalized and circulated to officers. Blitzkrieg-like combination of new tanks and fighters form the centre of the offensive.
 * Upper Michigan: Economy double develops.
 * Fargo: Military and economy develop.

United States of Greater Ohio: We build up our military, and defeat the last of the popular rebels and the rebels in Michigan. Out of the total 27,500 people in our army, we send in 10,000 to combat the USR in Pennsylvania. Our economy improves as we send more tanks to Minnesota.

USW: Nevada is ours now, as the State of Nevada, the 4th state. We expand military and economy. We continue researching several ways of warfare, with mainly chemical weapons being the prime goal, with seperate research on exoskeletons and mechs. Area 51 is the place where the majority of this research is performed, as it is now opened again. The Nationals have no ground in the State of California, although they remain in small parts of Oregon. Most have moved into our neighbor's(Pacific State) territory, although we try to prevent that and kill them instead. John Carlton is the president of the USW. Las Vegas proves to be a worthy investment, as it brings a lot of money into the USW. Currently, the only public air travel done from our airports goes to and from the One Star Republic and the Pacific State. However, we request air travel with Arizona, Ohio, New York and North Carolina.
 * Arizona Diplomacy: President Barbara Rubin agrees, and allows air travel into and through Arizona.

Pacific State: All members of The Nationals are ordered to be executed as terrorists. Scientology and Military begins to grow. (Washington if you didn't notice the name change).

Alaska: Since we are out of the fighting between states, our economy and brute military has grown immensely in size. We no longer weep of our fallen stars and stripes but we stand proud and strong in the glory of our new nation. We ask the UN  for an alliance and we definately are a parliamentary democracy with manpower and a non-corrupt society. For Alaska and the world.
 * Deseretan Dip: An alliance is requested, so that Deseret may bring Idaho Mormons into this God-given republic.
 * Pacific Dip: We shall make no more alliances for now.
 * Deseretan Dip: Deseret wishes to know why.

The Nationals launch a massive attack against the government of the Pacific State.~Edge 

 The PAPP continues to plague both Ohio and New York as non-violent leftist parties rise in both Nations.~Edge 

Republic of Massachusetts: With the assassination of the President, Massachusetts announced its secession from the Union. Once this had been done, it was important for Massachusetts to maintain a stable economy as well as to protect it's trade; therefore we set out to bring forth a series of economic reforms. Orders were given to transform the navy that would be strong enough to defend the coasts and to modernize the military in order to push back any invasion. Governor Charlie Baker took up the position of President and initiated the start of developments in the navy with orders given to construct 24 frigates and 4 cruisers, with plans having been brought forward to construct an Aircraft Carrier. Men were conscripted into the navy and military with a National Guard of 40,000 men established. Moreover, being of the few states with coastlands; Massachusetts took upon a large part of trade with foreign nations, especially those in Europe. With the conquest of Vermont, it is decisively annexed. [Naval/Eco Turn]

The Missori Republic: we initiate operation: DREAMLAND and operation: TITAN, in an attack on Kansas. we send 2 of our battle ready legions, with 1 legion in reserve. (15,000 men) our legions penetrate deep quickly, and with heavy air support, make sort work of the enemy solders. operation DREAMLAND was a jet strike designed to take out impotent targets, and it was a huge success. we call on the Kansas government to surrender, as to limit destruction of their army and economic assets. Because of new factory jobs our economy improves significantly,and our unemployment rate goes down to 6.2%. our president, John Lee is popular, and announces plans for increased subsides on farms, a bill that is past easily. John Lee also publicly thanks our allies for allying with us.

Arizona: Arizona continues to build up the military for only defensive purposes. Some funding is put into public transportation and alternate fuel sources. The Arizonan-Nuevo Mexican Border continues to be watched over carefully and security is extremely high, so to stop illegal immigrants in their tracks. Cops across the nation are ordered to keep an eye out and continues cracking down on any drug cartels they find. Dakota Confederation: The Confederation continues to patrol the newly annexed part of North Dakota, meanwhile in an attempt to make use of the newly grown population Chancellor MacGregor calls for another four week draft to be put into effect. The draft calls up another 6,000 men and women to the service of their country. With these new recruits the Dakotan military is now at 30,500 men and women in unoformed service. Down in Rapid City the 1,500 SDF troops who were patrolling the city are called away restoring order to the police and city officials, these men promptly move to border defenses. In a suprising move, Chancellor MacGergor allows women to serve actively in combat units angering a few far-right allies but in the end most are glad to now have more people open for service to their country. The massive oil shipment order placed by Missouri goes into production and looks to be completed by the year 2034. The first 800 tanks to be built by the federal arms factory located in Pierre roll off the assembly line as the republic develops its military and economy. Also our oil prices rise to $105 per barrel. We offer Montana to join the great Confederation.
 * USW Dip: We propose that Arizona becomes our vassal(Terms have already been discussed)
 * Arizona Diplomacy: President Barbara Rubin accepts the USW vassal proposal.

Agrarian Commonwealth of Minnesota 's military reaches 35,000. More tanks are produced this year, as well as other munitions and small-arms. Work on producing a dirty bomb continues. Since refined uranium is already available from dismantled missiles, it progresses fairly swiftly. Plans are in place to produce radioactive artillery shells and bombs, but the time scale is uncertain. As Iowa suppresses leftist militias within its own borders, the government seizes the opportunity to intervene against the major remaining regional rival, invading to reestablish "stability and civil rights". Leftist militias within the nation continue to be consolidated into a paramilitary wing of the gov., although attacks in other nations are condemned. The economy improves from oil production and eco-friendly energy developments. Realations and influence in Wisconsin are improved. Implementing Operation Butterfly, 20,000 troops, spearheaded by heavy armour and fighter-bombers, cross the border into Iowa, advancing on Dubuque and Des Moines. United States of Greater Ohio: We quickly make Westlvania a state in our country, and begin work on a new flag. A new president, David Williams, is elected into office. We return our military from D.C., and are left with 25,000 people in our total army. We gain 1,700 people by the end of the year, totaling our army at 26,700. We begin to heavily influence Kentucky and Indiana, and plan to annex them by 2040.

Holy Republic of Deseret: Henry begin putting pressuring on Arizona to allow the Mormon counties to hold a plescibite on whether they will remain part of Arizona or become part of Deseret. (Local or Edge can do vote, not Sean. He is biased towards me) Deseret requests an alliance with Pacific State, and request that both Pacific State and Texas back up our claims in Arizona. Anti-Catholic feelings continue to grow, with many being forced out of high paying jobs. Many begin demanding that the Mormon counties in Idaho join Deseret as well, and several groups begin putting pressure on the government to bring these counties into Deseret. (Mod Response)
 * USW Dip: There won't be a plescibite. Also, you have bigger issues now.
