World War III: Black Gold Map Game

This map game is all new. This is a world at war. The human race here will face the most brutal war in history. The world is slipping towards annihilation in this war. Now the players in this map game will fight the last human war. Will humanity be united or will it become extinct? The fate of the world is in your hands.

Rules

 * Oil is a very valuable commodity and its useful for many resources soo, you use oil for every last military movement except for nuclear weapons and advanced techs and other stuff, but be careful, you must be able to protect your oil infrastructure or else your nation would descend into chaos and out of the game, unless you have access to alternatives.
 * Space Colonization is a very useful thing if you want. After all even I would attempt space colonies should Earth get annihilated but remember, those colonies must be self-sufficient first if it is ever to survive the extinction level event ending.
 * You have to watch out for Earth's own ecological balance, if Earth is wiped out of life. It ends with an immediate game over and means an extinction level event ending. This can be caused by either extreme global warming (beyond 6 degrees) or nuclear war.
 * The players' own selected nations, if they have a space program need to be divided into 2 groups:Earth nations and colonies. Ex.United States of America/United Colonies of America. The latter refers to its space colonies.
 * The only way to defeat a nation is to crush all resistance entirely and take all their cities. In other words it must be total annihilation.
 * 3 implausibilities and  YOU ARE BANNED!!! 
 * You can use alliances, but however as the war progresses, there maybe a chance they may turn against you either out of desperation, or from political or economic reasons. So watch out who to ally with.
 * If too many nuclear weapons are used on the planet or the world average temperature reaches critical levels then the game ends with an extinction level event ending.
 * Your choices affect the final outcome of the war sooo be careful with every decision because once done. It cannot be reversed.
 * Oh and be as realistic as possible in this map game. I hate it when people arent realistic.
 * 3 nations for each player. As the timeline progresses, the prelude to war will serve as a founding for every faction.
 * Once a nation is out of the equation, you must cross it out and write down what happened to it in parenthesis.
 * In order to win WWIII, you must defeat the opposition along with your allies, that is as long as they dont turn on you.
 * Each user has a total of 10 turns per year, but they don't have to use all of them.

Globalfirepower Rule

 * Each user can have a country in top 4 at globalfirepower.com (USA, Russia, China, India)
 * Each user can have two countries from the rest of the world, and it doesn't matter which countries. If all countries in top 4 are already taken, you can have three countries from the rest of the world.

2013
Mod event: The world still suffers from the Great Recession.

'''North America: 'The United States suffers as its housing market has once again crashed, but many of its other industries are secure. NATO still survives as do most other US alliances.'''

South America: Brazil begins to rise as an emerging superpower as it economy has been boosted by its recent exploitation of the massive oil reserve under its coast.

Europe: Tensions between NATO and Russia slowly increase as the Russian involvement in the Russian Civil war is causing great concern to the Eurpean powers.

Africa/Middle east: Egypt has suffered another regime change as their struggle for democracy continues, the Syrian civil war continues.

'''Asia/Oceania: The Growing power of the PRC is stunted as the recession hits them hard stagnating their economy. A landmakr Trade Deal between Korea and Japan is signed prompting a notable cushion from the recession'''

Japan: We amend our Constitution allowing for a notable increase to the Self Defence forces to 500,000 by the year 2015 as well as double our Naval Procurement. The Deal with Korea heavily unites the Two nations erasing many of the tensions between the two giant East asian economies.

South Korea: We begin drills and movement of South Korean troops to the Border with North Korea following recent buildup and issues with North Korea

North Korea: Troops are mobilized on the Border and we send angry messages to the South Koreans and US threatening to nuke them (our nukes however do not exist in a powerful enough form to use) However many hardliner Generals seeing the possible end of their Country begin trying to figure out ways to contact the South Koreans for reunification talks and reconciliation between north and south

USA:We attempt to fix the problem by promoting renewables within the construction industry as well as promote the computer and biotech industry to revitalize the American economy. Military buildup begins near the Syrian-Israeli border and the Syrian-Turkish border as America now wants to help the Syrian Opposition. The USA invades Syria, albeit reluctantly, to help the rebels and topple Assad. The US also halts its withdrawl from Afganistan until the Irani problem is dealt with. US forces are on DEFCON 2, the closest the world is to WWIII since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Upgrades research by 0.25.

Israel:Israel begins nuclear testing on September 5, 2013.This causes tension to rise in the Middle East,especially with Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Israel invades Lebanon,Syria and Jordan in an attempt to reach Irani borders. Israel claims that they need those 3 nations in order to fight off Iran and they are helping America dispose of Assad.
 * The UN places economic and political sanctions on Israel.
 * The UN threatens to use military force against Israel if they do not withdraw from the three nations immediately.

Iran:Days before the Israeli nuclear tests Iran tests out its own nukes and builds up for war. This causes further tension to rise in the Middle East. Iran responds by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Iran tightens the blockade instead of stopping saying that their threats dont scare them and invades Iraq and Afganistan. ​Ireland: Ireland drafts 50,000 and builds barracks. The nuclear program begins, and a bomb is being built.
 * The UN places economic and political sanctions on Iran.
 * The UN threatens to use military force against Iran if they do not discontinue blocking the Strait.
 * The UN sends a military force of 100,000 from various member nations to push back the Iranians from Iraq and Afghanistan.

China: improves military and goverment is granting some freedom. sends aid to israil

Vietnam:asks china to talk of of a union between the two nations. we buy 10 jets fromchina

Mongolia: asks china for a union
