New World (Map Game)

Welcome to the New World.

The year in Gregorian terms is unknown, but we know it as . Centuries — or even millenia, we're not quite sure — have passed since we lost contact with the Homeworld. We only know it for certain as the planet on which our species was born. We know we came from another planet. It has many names. Some call it Gaea. Others call it Terra. But most people know it as Earth.

According to the oldest records we could find, humans have been here for quite a while, but no one is certain how long exactly we have been around. Since the first colonies were settled thousands of years have undoubtedly gone by, so we can't exactly ask them about what our Homeworld was like. According to legend, it was a dark place, full of destruction and wastelands.

In the years gone by since the first colonies were settled, expanded and then abandoned, our population now stands at over three billion, and we are spread out across the landmass of the planet. We've grown so apart in culture and politics that we have divided ourselves into what we call "nations" or "countries." Maybe they called them the same thing back on the Homeworld — no one knows for sure.

Tensions have risen between the nations of the world. War looms over us. Militaries begin to mobilise. But no one wants to fight. No one wants our world to share the same fate as the one before. But all it takes is that one command to open fire...

Information

 * This map game begins in the year 990. It has been 990 years since the first nations began to form on this planet.
 * Average technological level has reached what is projected to be that of the 2020s AD, as humanity has undergone another dark age since its disconnection from Earth. Nuclear weapons are common to most nations Tier 2 and above (see military tiers for details).
 * The planet is known as Novasol III-B. It is a large moon orbiting a gas giant, the third planet in a system of five. The star is a Yellow Main-Sequence Star.

Rules

 * If you'd like to participate, simply put your name down as one of the nations!
 * Half a year passes every turn in the map game. In each turn your nation can improve three of five aspects of your nation — infrastructure, economy, military, industry or technology. If your empire has vassal states these vassals can have their stats improved independently, as they're technically separate sovereign states.
 * The war algorithm is the God of War. Unless discussion effectively disproves the algorithm, events will proceed as calculated.
 * Please do not engage in sockpuppetry (using more than one account). If you do, you will be banned from this map game.
 * Be as plausible as you can! If it's implausible, the mods will help correct you. It is a fictional world, so don't stress if the mods think what you want will not work.
 * If you are inactive for a lengthy period of time, your nation may be subject to disaster scenarios created by the moderators. The nation will eventually be removed from the game entirely.
 * A new turn will start each day at 2230 UTC (0630 AWST).
 * Games will be archived every ten turns (five years).
 * Please be courteous and polite to other users. Do not engage in shouting or use profane comments. This is known as a flame war. If a flame war occurs all participating parties will be removed from the game and their territories put under mod control until a replacement player signs up. Instead, engage in a polite debate, and ask for a mod to mediate the discussion.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * Royal News: Prince August and Princess Aurora have returned to university to resume their studies after the conclusion of what has been dubbed as the Tsesarevich Crisis. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Edward is due to sit for his HSZ exams at the end of the year. Time and again, the Crown Prince has proven to be extremely intelligent, being fluent in German, English, Donetskian and Orientalian; he is also skilled in numerous other fields of study such as the sciences and history. The nation is watching his progress with interest.

North Orientalia: Construction of the 110-floor skyscraper continues. The progress of construction has sped up; it has already reached 57 floors in March. The earliest estimate of completion is by 1066. Meanwhile we begin printing commemorative banknotes for the upcoming centennial anniversary of the late Saiko Genshu's birthday in 1063, with the famous portrait drawn by Kenji Hayashi. However a second phosporus-ion bomb has been detonated at an uninhabited island. Corpses were placed on the islands as test dummies to observe the possible effects of exposure to such weapon to the human body. Mock buildings were also built to observe how great would the damage be inflicted by the incinerative blast and the shockwave.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko finishes creating the next Project Magician Temple game, Mystic Dream, and has it released. It gets excellent sales. Seocho continues to create their own game.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk Britannia
 * Royal News: Princess Maria of Novodonetsk is proving to be quite the athlete! She participates in various extracurricular physical activities, such as football, tennis and gymnastics. She also runs frequently, and recently participated in the Putingrad City-to-Surf Charity Run.

Holy Empire of the White Lands: We amp up our armed forces, open a chromium mine, build self levitating cars, covert to 100% hydroelectric power generation (takes 5 years), launch a space tether in to space over northern Bercow. We offer an alliance to New Rome, Cherbourg, Trenton and Madeira. We are upset by the presence of the Alliance to Restore Democracy to Terra Alba, but wish to ease of the cold war that we have if the Alliance to Restore Democracy to Terra Alba agree not to mess up our internal affairs. We crack down on poorly performing school kids. many of them are shot for having a sub-standard scholastic rating. The state open a chromium mine and covert over 5 years to 100% hydroelectric power generation (takes 5 years), We think Princess Haruko is a bad kid. We would like some of the Project Magician Temple games.
 * MOD: No, I don't think so. Holy Alba is currently in Tier 3 in technology. The most technologically advanced nations in the world are not even close to building self-levitating cars, let alone launching space tethers.
 * MOD: As I said before, you're not technologically advanced enough. Countries like Neubayern-Novodonetsk and North Orientalia, who are miles ahead of you, still are unable to rely only on hydro power.
 * Holy Empire of the White Lands: Hydro-electricity is banned and all known plants are disassembled. Space is abandoned and the used launch site demolished. We abandon all modern technology, that is anything more advanced than 1940 on real life earth.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We are appalled and shocked at Holy Alba's actions against innocent schoolchildren simply for performing poorly at school. The Government condemns these actions as genocide and urges other countries to also condemn Holy Alba's government. We increase funding to Democratic Alba so that they can accelerate technological and military development.
 * Democratic Alba (MOD): Seeing your recent actions, we condemn Holy Alba and continue to build up our military forces in cooperation with Neubayern-Novodonetsk. We will restore democracy to all of Terra Alba, whatever the cost!
 * Britannia: Britannia offers diplomatic and minor military support to Democratic Alba.
 * Britannia: Due to the shooting of innocent school children, Britannia places sanctions on the Holy Empire of the White Lands.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We do the same and cancel all trade between our country and Holy Alba. The Neubayero-Donetskian Embassy in Alb'bul is closed and our delegates withdrawn. All diplomatic relations are shut off.
 * HEWL: Agents go forth in anger. We start shooting at the troublemakeing ruling class kids.
 * 1) Princess Haruko of Kirschblüte,
 * 2) Prince August of Silverwood
 * 3) Princess Maria of Novodonetsk
 * They all get agent's attempts to be shot at.
 * Princess Haruko is hit in the leg on a walk about. Well, she looks and behaved better in a hospital wheelchair.
 * Princes Maria then got 6 spent bullets sent to her in the post a week later.
 * The kids had a low IQ and poor attitudes according to our standards. So be warned, stop pricking our political skin- exenophbia.


 * Britannia: The Royal Family of Britannia and PM Lucas Chamberlain are outraged at the blatant assassination attempts and close all diplomatic ties to the Holy Empire of the White Lands. Public support for the Alliance to Restore Democracy to Terra Alba rises dramatically. Princess Jane, already in Neubayern-Novodonetsk, visits Princess Haruko in the hospital and offers her condolences.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We are outraged by these assassination attempts on innocent members of our Royal Family. The agents are captured and are to be trialled for attempted murder. Unfazed, we further increase funding to Democratic Alba.
 * New Rome (MOD): Appalled by Holy Alba's conduct against its people, we refuse to have anything to do with the country and shut off all diplomatic relations.
 * Trenton (MOD): We also dismiss all possibilities of amicable relationships between us.
 * Madeira (MOD): We refuse to establish any form of diplomatic relationships with Holy Alba.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We discover that the Holy Alban government was funding Narodnaya Volya and supporting them in their attempt to overthrow the Donetskian monarchy. We condemn them for supporting a terrorist organisation. We look into whether they are also funding other terrorist organisations such as the Fatherland Front, etc.

1061
Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * Secret diplomacy: We propose a joint invasion of Holy Alba, in cooperation with Democratic Alba, with North and South Orientalia, and Britannia.
 * South Orientalia Diplomacy (Secret): Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima agrees with and supports Neubayern-Novodonetsk's plan.
 * Britannian Diplomacy (Secret): PM Lucas Chamberlain and King Jaime III agree with and supports the plan to invade the HEWL.
 * HEWL: A pact is offered to San Juan and Clan Ogilvy (in SE Ross). Our army creates 5,000 pistols and 2,000 machine guns like real life Vickers Guns. Boo, hoo to unwanted Haruko! we build a unflattering public statue of Haruko in her wheelchair so we can mock at here stay in hospital. Our leaders hide in the capital's hardened-bunker, hunder's-bunker, strategic-tatical-opps-bunker, secure bunker and clunker-bunker. A new coal mine opens in the far north. 10,000 troops are called up and trained up. We finely complete shooting the failed school kids we found.

'''Followers of Albanism around the world express shock that their Holy Land would do such horrible things to its people. They say that 'the gods would never allow this' and that 'genocide is an unforgivable crime.' Many Albans, fearful of persecution, convert to other religions.'''

NOTE: Holy Alba's recent deliberate downgrades have caused its tier levels to drop by one.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * Diplomacy: We declare that a state of war now exists between the Federated States and the Holy Empire.
 * Military: We begin bombing operations against key Holy Alban military installations.
 * Proclamation: After more than 3 decades of occupation in southern Ross, we declare the foundation of the Kingdom of Ross. The Kaiserin will be crowned as the first Queen of the Rossians next year.

Britannia
 * Diplomacy: King Jaime III and PM Lucas Chamberlain declare war against the Holy Empire of the White Lands.
 * Military: Paratroopers land on the two main eastern islands of Elbe and Neckar. Taking a quarter of the new Nuberu bombers from Derry Airfield, the aircraft carrier HMS Ankou anchors off the Alban coast in the Western Franklin Ocean.

1062
Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * War: After a series of decisive victories against Holy Alban armies, our 1st, 2nd and 7th Armies, in cooperation with Democratic Alba's 6th and 10th Armies, make significant advances into Holy Alban territory. Following this, the 2nd and 7th head westwards while the 1st goes north with the Democratic Albans. In our new territories, we establish an occupational authority, while we also assist with the extension of Democratic Alban rule over their acquisitions.

Democratic Alba (MOD) Britannia
 * Reorganisation: Our President, Marshal Janal Na'Kanar, proclaims the establishment of the Alban People's Democratic Republic (Albnïc Dëmakïc Halk Cämertl, ADHC), which will replace our provisional government.
 * War: Moderate advance is made in the Western HEWL. Fighting is fierce near the city of New Munich. The HEWL troops use chlorine and mustard gas against Britannian troops and massacre surrendering soldiers. Nuberu bombers drop incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs on factories and military bases in the city of Strosner. Meanwhile, the Lionheart-class ships HMS Murigen and HMS Nessa sink the HEWL aircraft carrier AIS Dresden.
 * Infrastructure: ​The Zarinthian Canal is finally finished. Military ships can go through for free; cargo ships have to pay a toll of £50.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko begins creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho continues to create their own game. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues war on the White Lands.

North Orientalia: Taking advantage of the war in Holy Alba, we revive Fall Mujona and the Terra Alba Worker's Guild, which, after 50 years, hastily decides to come out of the open. The TAWG begins guerilla operations against the Holy Empire, as well as their archrival Presidemt Jamal Na'Kanar, which they see as an authoritarian usurper. Meanwhile, for the first time in the battlefield, we launched a ballistic missile with a warhead containing the dreaded phosporus-ion bomb at the Holy Alban city of Werwippia, a large metropolis that acted as an industrial center, partly as vengeance for the Ueda-Takaoka incident.

1062.5
'''After suffering heavy military and territorial losses, as well as the destruction of one of their largest cities, Holy Alba surrenders to the Allied forces. Negotiations begin in the Democratic Alban capital of Hul'kars.'''

Cherbourg: The Duchess, Nanette, is crowned head of state. The fishing fleet is trebled over the year and a new pilchard cannery is built in the capital. Brothels are legalised. Nanette gives her condolences to Haruko, Maria, Aria and all the other recently threatened monarchs.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We propose that Allied-occupied territories of Holy Alba be permanently confiscated from the Empire and awarded to the Allied nations who fought in the war, namely Neubayern-Novodonetsk, Democratic Alba, South Orientalia and Britannia (see main political map for our proposal). We also further demand that free democratic elections be held in Democratic Alba to replace the incumbent provisional government, which we have observed is currently run as a military dictatorship under the President. South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko begins creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho continues to create their own game.
 * ADHC response (RNG): 6 (6 - 10 dem elections held). President Janal Na'kanar reluctantly agrees to dissolve his government and call fresh elections. However, following the elections, due to his massive post-war popularity, Na'kanar, along with his newly-formed Democratic People's Action Party, is re-elected, and begins his second term as President of the ADHC.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk (SECRET): We probe into the elections to investigate suspicions of electoral fraud.
 * RNG: 4 (6 - 10 found). We find no traces of electoral fraud and we are forced to conclude that Na'kanar was indeed playing fair for this election, and that he was re-elected purely based on his popularity with the people.
 * South Orientalia Diplomacy: Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima agrees and accepts Neubayern-Novodonetsk's proposal.
 * North Orientalia Diplomacy: We consider having a coalition government with the Terra Alba Workers' League, in exchange for cessation of guerilla operations against Na'kanar's regime.
 * RNG: 7 (6 - 10 success). President Na'kanar agrees with the leaders of the Terra Alba Workers' League, as he wishes to establish a true democracy in Terra Alba.

1063
'''The Treaty of Hul'kars is signed. According to the terms, occupied lands are distributed to the Allied powers. The Holy Empire of the White Lands is required to allow Allied inspectors to regularly check up on the government's activities to ensure mass murder that occurred in pre-war times does not repeat itself.'''
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk (SECRET): Despite being a signatory to the treaty, we are unsatisfied with the outcome and wish for the complete destruction of the Holy Alban government. We begin plotting with Democratic Alba the downfall of the rest of the Holy Alban Empire.
 * North Orientalia Dip SECRET: In the wake of the Ariena consulate bombing, we also consider participating in the occupation of Terra Alba, especially lands adjacent to Mabuda and the eastern half, due to fears that the Holy Empire leadership can use the terror group Shtrëngatë to reclaim control. We also begin to fund small-scale guerrilla activities by the TAWG in Holy Alban territory

North Orientalia: Construction on the skyscraper continues. Meanwhile, after long years of preparation the most awaited holiday has arrived; the centennial of Saiko Genshu's birth. We also have opened, for the celebration, a massive pavilion dedicated to showing up the best of what the Socialist Republic has to offer, and the fruits of the late birthday celebrant's works and efforts to open up a new age. A huge military parade and a wreath laying ceremony would be held on the exact birthdate. We invite foreign leaders and dignitaries to attend the said celebrations. Mayan Socialist Republic We encourage collectivization of the emerging fruit export industry and build several new schools, we request a trade deal with North Orientalia and South Orientalia.
 * Britannia: The Royal Family of Britannia and PM Lucas Chamberlain attend the celebration of the centennial of Saiko Genshu's birth. 96 year old General Hadrian Cross attends the celebration as well; he gives a speech praising Saiko Genshu's rise to strength after the Brittano-Orientalian War and his deposing of Bol Chong.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: The Royal Family of Neubayern-Novodonetsk and both Chancellors all attend the centennial celebrations. As part of the proceedings, the Kaiserin posthumously awards Saikō Genshu knighthood in the Most Noble and Honourable Order of the Golden Cross (Edelsten und Ehren Ordens des Goldenen Kreuzes).
 * South Orientalia Diplomacy: Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima acceptsd Maya's trade deal.

 * Exploration: The exploration team returns from the Mainland. They claim the northern outcropping for Britannia. They have discovered two new civilizations: the Republic of Pythinia and the Democratic Socialist Republic of New Shanghai. New Shanghai is made up of the survivors of the collapse of Republic of Anbar and the North Orientalian military aid sent there, while the Republic of Pythinia is made up of groups of city-states and praise strange gods such as Zeus and Neptune. We welcome the smaller countries to the international stage.
 * Public News: Lucas Chamberlain is re-elected to Prime Minister of Britannia. The Royal Family and PM Chamberlain congratulate the Kingston Senior High School Symphony Orchestra on receiving third place in the Prince Georg Cup. All members receive the Bronze Kotinos for representing Britannia internationally.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko finishes creating the next Project Magician Temple game, Crystallised Silver, and releases it. This game introduces a third playable character, Marisa Kirisame. It gets excellent sales, and becomes one of the most popular games in South Orientalia. Seocho continues to create their own game, and are nearly finished. The game's name is revealed to be Grand Prix (this game is like our world's Gran Turismo).

Havenstown Collective: We start developing super conductivity devices and low energy railway trains. A national magazine called Pilchards, that on the par with the IRL Charlie Hebdo, prints some weird photos with negative/comic captions on Princess Haruko.

The editor is called before the confused national council to tell us what exactly it all means.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We are shocked by the images claiming to depict Princess Haruko. Not only is this an insult to the Princess and the Royal Family, but to many of the Orientalian schoolgirls photographed. On behalf of the affected people, the Royal Family sues the Havenstown magazine.
 * Heventown legal response: We close the magazine down and start official libel actions against those who published these images. The editor refuses to co-operate with cops.
 * North Orientalia dip: We are also shocked of the great insult on Orientalian schoolgirls, and also claim that some of the photos are taken from the website of the People's Daily, the official publication of the Public Information Bureau. We also sue the magazine on copyright grounds.
 * MSR: We hold a literacy campaign and up both the efficiency and production of our banana plantations. We ban that sleazy Haventown magazine.
 * Haventown media response- Several noteworthy newspaper reports say it was a joke and that freedom of speech is at risk. National radio and TV reports condemn the magazine, but mostly over the coppyright issue.

1064
Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * ELECTIONS: The 1064 Federal Elections are held throughout the States. The Democratic Unity Front is re-elected in Neubayern, while the National Front is brought back to power, with Georgy Azov as its head.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko begins creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho finishes creating their own game, Grand Prix, and will have it released later this year.

Haventown Collective:

The editor and crew that made Pilchards Magazine are all jailed and the die of flue (well actually, we poisoned them so they would not show off in-front of the media). We are glad the magazine is shut since it was very subversive. Super conductivity and fusion power are developed in the proton-type stage. We take action against against Sylvester.com after showing these disturbing online videos. We try to trace the IP number it uses. It is on Starnet some were in the northern town of Marcon. VAT is later cut by 0.5%. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms are construction in several locations.Nano-Technology, space-tech and science are still invested in more deeply and are generally promoted as a good idea at school. We launch SPOT-1 type weather satellite. Nano-Technology, space-tech and science are still invested in more deeply and are generally promoted as a good idea at school. We start to biuld a new national soccer stadium in Gdinya. High power lasers, masers and electro-lasers are invested in. A track for solar Grand Prix cars opens in Gdinya.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: While we fully respect the right to free speech, we are appalled by not only the further insults towards Princess Haruko and her in reality respectable friends — who are all far underage and do not drink nor abuse any other drugs — as well as the Orientalian citizens involved in these videos, but also the lack of truth in the descriptions of the files. One obvious thing that makes the whole publication false is the fact that the Princess does not have a sister. The Royal Family once again pursues damages, suing Sylvester.com on behalf of all the affected people. Our government requests that Havenstown be more assertive over what their media outlets post. We stress again that while we fully respect the right to free speech, this same institution must not be abused by untruth, scandal and offensive rumours. To anyone who declares that our government is by saying this entrenching on the right to free speech, we remind them that we are not taking any further action than this to protect the privacy and security of all people.
 * Haventown Collective response:Now Sylvester.com is shut down. The small house it is was full of shady Afrikaans youths and a Afrikaans geek in his 30's (he is like IRL Julian Asange). We jail them for libel, they die of 'flu' in the jail-house few days later and the videos wiped. We call for all websites to remove and wipe them, but some are inevitably safe on private computers, but it is illegal to put the videos back on line.  We investigate Some rumours about a cyber-cafe in the near by fishing port of Ismir. All on line criticism of overseas royalty is banned for 2 years. Several noteworthy newspaper reports say it was a joke gone to far and that freedom of speech is at risk. National radio and TV reports condemn the webpage, but mostly over the copyright and Colonian police morale issues. The government apologises to N. Orientalis, New Bayern, S. Orentalis, Novadonetsk and Colonia.

.
 * MSR We condemn the online assault on various royals and offer our condolence to Prices Haruko.

1064.5
Haventown Collective: Maglev trains are made more efficient. New types of electro-lasers and early driver-less cars are invested in. The resent media attacks on Haruko have failed and a new group emerges as her online fandom (Help Haruku.com). They use this logo, derived from one of the libellous pictures. We encourage the pro-Haruko fan cult group. The government apologises to N. Orientalia, Nue Bayern, S. Orentalia, Novadonetsk and Colnia for the earlier farce.
 * Neubayern-Novodonetsk: We accept Havenstown's apology, though we have growing suspicions over the mysterious deaths of the arrested offenders. Secret: Our covert investigation unit, the Gemittstelle (Geheime Ermittlungsstelle, Secret Intelligence Unit) begins looking into these deaths.
 * Haventown Collective Dip:  We seriously consider the idea of merging in to Neubayern in circa 1068 since our territory is rather oddly shaped and difficult to defend. We build 2 stealth frigates, 60 telliport booths and 100 photo-booths.

Dukedom of Cherbourg: We create a self-driving hover car, a mile long fold-up self stick and launch a weather satellite in to space. The Anti-Haruko stuff is condemned.

MSR We develop a new fusion power test bead bed reactor and offer our condolence to Prices Haruko and as a sing of respect to her, we assasinate all the prominant newspaper cartoonists in Haventown's Co-Oprative Zone.
 * MOD: Impossible. The Mayan Socialist Republic is Tier 5 technologically. You wouldn't even be close to solar power, let alone nuclear fusion.

North Orientalia: Work on the skyscraper continues, and is 67% complete. When completed it would be baptised as the Hyunpong Tower, with 115 floors, dethroning South Orientalia's skyscraper in New Seoul. Meanwhile, a new version of OrientaLink (North Orentialia's version of America Online) has been released. It now even comes in an app form for smartphones. CocoNet, however, can now be accesed in other languages, primarily German, as this is the second language of North Orientalians ,even long before the lasting friendship with Neubayern, as opposed to French for South Orientalians.

PSR Ross: Continuing our rigorous economic expansion program, we continue to build more factories using imported technology from North Orientalia. We also begin to export coal freely after the monopoly expired. Meanwhile, following the retirement of Fionbhbarr MacGiolla Eoin as State Chairman after another devastating stroke (a stroke attack also happened to him earlier, precipitating the unrest), Premier Hamish MacBeth, now 68 years of age, is elected to the top post.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko continues creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho releases their game, Grand Prix, and it gets great sales.

Sorry for taking so long to start the next turn guys!

Neubayern-Novonetsk North Orientalia: Construction of the Hyunpong Tower continues, and is 90% complete. Most of the work is on the casino and the floating restaurant near the very top, and a TV broadcast transmitter to top it up. The ceremonial culmination of construction work would occur in July 1066. We invite potential investors and occupants to join the ceremony. SECRET: With the recent blunder by the Havenstown government in the wake of the secret execution, public disapproval rises, giving us an opportunity to attach the HECZ to our bloc by giving covert support for the left-aligned labor unions and the Havenstown Democratic League led by (insert name), who is in favor of the North Orientalian influence as a socialist state, rather than as a province of Neubayern.
 * Dip: In response to Havenstown, we at this time will not consider admitting the cities of the HECZ to the States. We have a lot of land and people to look after as it is, and adding more to our territories will not help administration.
 * SECRET: The Gemittstelle reveals that the 'criminals' in Havenstown who participated in the Haruko affair last year were in fact secretly executed. We condemn the Havenstown government for violating the basic human right of free speech.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko continues creating the next Project Magician Temple game.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk
 * Dip: Our people have had a recent change of heart. Many Neubayers and Donetskians, especially patriots, support union with Havenstown to further extend our influence over the Sebastianan continent, as well as to force reform to Havenstown's penal system, in light of the recent secret executions following the Haruko Affair. We hold a referendum in our territories to determine our people's willingness to unite Havenstown with the Staatsbund.
 * RNG: 7 (*10, % approval). 70% of the population have expressed approval in an annexation of Havenstown into the Staatsbund. We request that a similar referendum be held in Havenstown to establish their people's wishes.
 * RNG: 9. 90% of the Havenstown population have expressed approval in an annexation of Havenstown into the Staatsbund. The necessary changes will shortly be implemented. Havenstown according to the latest projections is scheduled to be admitted into the Staatsbund by April 1068 as the Commonwealth of Havenstown (German: Gemeinwesen Hawensburg). The Havenstown Board of Cities will be reorganised into the Havenstown State Administration Committee (German: Hawensburger Staatsverwaltungsrat; Afrikaans: Staatsraad van Hawensburg).

 * Democratic Alba (MOD): BREAKING NEWS: A bomb inside President Jamal Na'Kanar's car went off, throwing the car to a ravine. Na'Kanar survived with serious injuries, yet unconcious and needs immediate help. As a result Vice-President and Chancellor Ismail Hassan assumes the post of acting president, toghether with a triumvirate including General Werner Al'niyah and and the 23 year-old TAWG general secretary Wolfgang Klement Fubar (Hoover). The blame for the the attack was placed on the terror group Shtrëngatë, allegedy funded by the Holy Empire. Soon TAWG militias begin clash with the terror group.
