Shattered Stars and Stripes: Brave New World (Map Game)

Heyo Friendos. My idea for Scorched Earth kinda sucked, so I'm starting over. Welcome to Shattered Stars and Stripes: Brave New World.

The Year is 1991 in a timeline muich different than ours. The USSR has collapsed,leaving the People's Republic of China, The Brazilain Federation  and The European Comittee as the dominant world powers. The Red Star alliance is in shambles without the key player in the alliance. The Chinese led Shanghai Cooperation orginization has failed to establish a sphere of influence in the Former United States. The Brazilian Federation is quickly going the same way as the USSR, creating instablity in the Strategic defense coaliton. The European Comittee suffers from infighting, which threatens the future of the orginization.

Choose your nation, and lead it to glory in this Brave New World.

Rules

 * Mod word is law until proven otherwise
 * Have Fun
 * Be Plausible and Logical
 * In the event that one nation unites the former US or a peace treaty dividing the US is signed, the game ends
 * Keep things sane tech wise, no clones or stuff like that
 * Players who are inactive for more than 10 turns without informing a mod are removed.
 * Alliances will be monitored closely. If an alliance is regarded as excessive, meta, asb, etc, it will be retconed.
 * Nation pages are nice too have, but not required. Sooooooooo, please make them.

Expansion Rules

 * There are 3 primary ways to expand your nation:
 * War
 * Diplomacy
 * Vassalization
 * When you declare war, an algorithim will be used to decide the results of said war. The algo is final, and can only be overturned by a non-participating mod.  Players who do their own algos will get priority on correcting said algos.
 * You may request to have a nation join you for various reasons. A mod may use an RNG for this, or just decide out right. If you peacefully absorb too many states, this option will be closed to you. If you request to have a state join you, you must wait 10 years to try again or declare war. if you declare war, the nation in question will have it's score increased by 10% after all other multipliers. If a nation agrees to join you, it happens the instant a mod says yes. This is considered a merger, not just an annexation. As such, both states pre merge cease to exist,
 * Vassalization requires a nation that is completly dependent on you for it's economy, military, industry, etc. Every turn you attempt to vassalize a nation, it decreases your algo score by 3%. (So turn 2 would be 6% decrease of the origonal). You can not vassalize a nation that is in a different alliance than you.

Map Rules

 * Only Map makes can edit the map.
 * A new map will be created every 5 turns

Mod Rules

 * Players may nominate mods, but Edge may reject nominations.
 * If no one contests a nomination, that player is made mod.

 * Mods may not mod there own requests  UNLESS  there is no other mods active.
 * Non-mods may contest this if they have a valid reason and be willing to provide sources to back up any sort of claim.
 * Mods can be removed by the head mod or a vote of players
 * Should the head mod remove a mod that the players believe didn't deserve it, a player vote may overturn it.
 * Mods who are being impeached do not get a vote
 * The Head mod can not be impeached, only downgraded to a normal mod, in which case a new head mod will be elected.

Backstory
The first POD comes at the American Civil War. The US fails to stop the Confederates from achieving international recognition, and as a result, the US loses the Civil War. From there the US and CS become rivals, competing for influence in North America. The two come into conflict several times, with the conflicts always being ended by the timely intervention of the UK and France. When Europe divides itself into two sides, the US and CS find themselves on oppisite alliances, foaming at the mouth for war. World War 1 happens, with the US aiding the central powers and the CS fighting with the Allies. Eventually, in 1922, World War One ends in an Allied Victory. The Us is divided into 4 seperate nations, The Confederation of New England based in Boston, The United States based in Colombus, The Allied States based in Albany, and the Western States based in San Fransisco. There was a breif period of peace, but, in 1936, a radical took power in The United States. By 1942, the US was reunited. Similarly, the CSA found it self ideologcally closer to Hitler than to The Allies. When war broke out in 1945, the CSA and the New USA found themselves on the same side of the fight. They breifly merged to form the Union of America, and joined Japan, Germany, and Italy in the Second World War. But yet again, the Allies won. In 1962, the Soviets took Berlin, and proclaimed a new People's Republic of Germany. Disagreements post war established the foundations for the cold war. Brazil, which was now the largest power in the Americas, took the chance to expand her influence and established her own sphere.

From 1964-1991, the cold war divided the world. China's civl war ended in a communist victory, and as more and more colonial rebellions took place, the Red Star Alliance rapidly expanded her influence. However, a politcal drift between the USSR and China in 1980 ruptured the alliance. China broke away and established her own Sphere under the Shanghai co-operation orgnization. In response to the RSA, the Free nations of Europe formed the European Comittee in 1949.

The USSR would meet its end in 1991. Caused by many factors (Including the Hungarian Revolts in 1981, 1982, 1984, 1987, and 1989), the USSR simply could not survive any longer. On Christmas of 1991, a coup was staged by Vladmir Putin and Boris Yeltsin. The coup spairled out of control, and the Communist superpower ceased to exist.

''' Lets kill some people. '''

''' North Carolina offically withdraws from the SDC after years of disagreements. The Brazilain navy is sighted off the coast of Myrtle Beach. North Carolina begins conscritpion. '''

''' A Fire breaks out in Salem killing 4 people. '''

''' Russia continues to experince negitive GDP growth. Many fear that the nation will fall apart soon. '''


 * The Federal Republic of Michigan notes with worry the seeming fall of Russia. This leads to concern about what may happen in Minnesota, which is very close to Michigan. Michigan currently has the largest navy in the Great Lakes Region, and Mackinaw Island is the foremost naval base in it. A small minority of Michiganders call for the invasion of Ohio, citing Toledo as "stolen from Michigan." While ignored, they can be considered a left over from the era of wars fought between Ohio and Michigan. The current President, Paul Nightling, sends diplomats to New York, hoping to increase relations with the nation. Furthermore, though neutral, Michigan has sided with the EC in most issues. Michigan also has a bustling economy, benefiting from it's strategic position, beautiful landscape, and booming auto industry. The population is roughly 11 million, and Lansing has over 1 million residents, though Detroit is still the largest city. The Federalist Party, which is very conservative, pushes for action to be taken by Michigan in the wider world, namely, by calling for an alliance against the SDC. The President issues his support for North Carolina.
 * Population is closer to 9.5 million, and Minnesota has no ties with the current Russian government.
 * Oh. Thought it was. Like, the RSA collapse and everything. Also, how is my population at 9.5 million?
 * Columbus Dip: Columbus desires no war with Michigan, but does warn Michigan that it will not tolerate hostile behavior. 


 * South California: A presidential election is held in South California following the end of our Republican President George Deukmejian's second term in office. In the election, Democratic candidate and former vice president Leo T. McCarthy successfully ran for the presidency with over 55% of South California's voting demographic specifically voting for him. He immediately begins to focus on improving the infrastructure in our most populated and least populated areas, significantly increasing the power of the public sector of our economy, and maintaining a policy of isolationism in world politics. We officially end our membership in the European Committee and we begin to improve relations with North California and Oregon, with some private charity organizations sending humanitarian aid to the people of Salem affected by the fire. 
 * The Lone Star Republic: Makes note of the Red Star Alliance's current weakness, and warns our long time enemy Mexico that if they where to invade, they would not have the backing of their former chief ally the USSR. We instead offer them a 10 year NAP. Population stands at roughly 18 million and rising. Military stands at 65,000 regulars, who are armed with the LSAR7 rifle.  The navy expands rapidly, incorporating 6 new vessels this year. As a result, the airforce program suffers budget cuts galor. President Ryan Blake of the Centrist party is elected again for the Third and final term of his carrerer. He promises to continue the economic policies that made him great in the first place.
 * The Republic of Maryland: Spiro Agnew maintains his position as President. Political parties are abolished by President Agnew as part of a plan to consolidate the nation. The population stands at 4.7 million, but family growth is encouraged as abortion is abolished. Marriage laws are being reevaulated by the Supreme Court as possibly too strict. As the capital is moved to inner Baltimore, a plan is drafted to clean out crime and polution from the city. This plan is seen with some skepticism by those who consider the city a lost cause. Many engineering companies in Maryland are contracted by the government to encourage growth in science and technology, particularly in the newly-created internet. The Maryland Energy Efficiency Agency (MEEA) works to consolidate the farm lands of western Maryland as an indigenous bread basket for the nation. The largely unsettled area around Washington, DC is expanded as part of the consolidation process. The military is expanded, with 10,000 men positioned at key points allong the Potomac River, and 5,000 in reserve. The alliance with the European Committee is strengthened, providing the best political support from all the east coast. We ask for a personal union with West Virginia, Delawere, and New Jersey, explaining that it is by our combined strength that we can survive from outside threats. We ask the European Committee for aid in strenghtening our military in the goal of increasing the EC's control on the East Coast.
 * ​New Jersey: No
 * Deleware: No
 * West Virgnina: No (MOD all three)
 * Cuba is concerned by the chaos triggered by the disintegration of the United States, and begins a serious of military upgrades designed to increase its' military forces' professionalism and size. The navy, in particular, is upgraded considerably, while Cuban forces successfully seize the former American base at Guantanamo Bay. Cuba proposes to the culturally similar nation of Puerto Rico, which relies heavily on imports of food and power, that the two nations unite, offering to pay off Puerto Rico's massive deficit in return (Mod Response). An offer is also made to the tiny and helpless US Virgin Islands (Mod Response). Cuba also asks to join the SDC (Mod Response). Alliances are also sought with other regional actors, notably Texas and Florida.
 * The SDC accepts and immediately acsends Cuba into the alliance due to the current tensions in Carolina.
 * Puerto Rico: Rejects given diplomatic pressure from Brazil (RNG, Even yes, Odd No, Result: 7)
 * Virgin Islands: Accepts. ((RNG, Even yes, Odd No, Result: 8)
 * Republic of New York: We begin to split our nation into 16 federal districts, akin to states in the former USA. Our recently completed elections leave the New Democrats in power in parliament, but with the Prime Minister being a federalist. This government quickly passes several education reforms, as well as a military expansion yet, Increasing the military's size to 90,000 active soldiers, as well as numerous trucks, tanks, and a small but effective air force. the Economy is also Improved, mostly through industrial growth in major cities, such as Buffalo, Albany, and NYC, but also through increased agricultural production in the Upstate regions. With our population already vastly in favor of the EC, we ask to officially join the origination.
 * SCO:  The Organisation begins military buildup and economic expansion. With recent growth in these past few years, we continue our economic growth and expansion of our political alliance, and China, using the organisation as a tool, proposes the membership of the following nations to SCO, now seeing itself as a replacement to the RSA: Korea, Japan, the West Coast members of the RSA, and the members in Southeast Asia. The organisation decides to take advantage of the chaos in the former USSR to make way for new alliances and trade pacts in the region, all while secretly preparing to finish off the RSA.


 * Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved. Missouri remains subdivided into 114 counties, as it was pre-independence. Elections for President and Prime Minister are due to be held next year.
 * Virginia asks Missouri if they would like to establish embassies and free trade amoung each other.
 * Missouri Diplomacy: President John Ashcroft agrees in establishing embassies and free trade.


 * The Republic of Virginia: Virginia starts to build up it's economy and military. President Ron Jones is elected into as the first president of Virginia, with the promise of protecting the liberty of the populace and to ensure that no foriegn nations shall infringe on the independence of Virginia. To ensure this, Ron signs a bill which makes it manditory for every household to have a firearm to protect themselves from any threat at anytime. Ron also signs a bill which allows the former United States Navy in Norfolk to be given control by a milita. Congress also passes through a bill that cuts all government programs in Virginia (Exculding the fire and police department) to allow the people to do what they want with their tax dollars. Congress also encourages people to form militas and to train themselves in case of an attack. Any foreign nation/organizatiom that agresses against Virginia shall be met with hositility. Virginia wishes to establish free trade with any state former U.S states to help grow our economies as well as to get on each other's good side. Virginia also asks whether North Carolina and West Virginia if they would like to union in the common intrest of defending liberty from foriegn nations. (Mod Responce) Rothbardian works gain popularity amoung the populace.
 * North Carolina:No, although they request a military alliance given the tensions with the SDC (RNG, Even yes, Odd No, Result: 7)
 * ' West Virgnia: Rejects. (' RNG, Even yes, Odd No, Result: 1)
 * The US hasn't been a country for 50+ years, the base is long gone or looted already.
 * Columbus requests a trade agreement with Virginia.
 * Arizona:We upgrade our military.We tell New Mexico to unite or face war.(RNG please).
 * ​Please add more info to your post.
 * ' New Mexico: ' RNG, Even yes, Odd No, Result: 5) Rejects and asks the EC to intervene and prevent war.
 * Columbus Republic: The Colombus Republic decides to apply to join the EC. President Wil Trapp is elected first Columbian President. Several laws are made, including laws regarding abortion, firearms and same-sex marriages. Columbus legalises the same-sex marriage, it legalises the posession of firearms and declares it mandatory for teachers to be trained with a firearm so that they can protect their students if neccessarily. Columbus legalises abortion, but it also makes it so that the mother can not decide on her own. All citizens between the ages of 18-50 have two serve two years of military training, so Columbus can call upon them if need be. Border patrols are installed at every border. Columbus ask for an alliance with New York. Effrost are made to rebuild social life in theRepublic. A football league is set up(for true football not handegg).

1993
''' Shocked by the lack of war and conflict turn one. Lets see how mod events change that. '''

''' The Brazilian Navy is accused of sinking a North Carolinian cargo ship. North Carolina requests aid from the Euro Commitee and her American allies, and Virgnina. '''

''' The Virgninan milita plan has a minor hiccup when 5 men calling themselves "The Patriots" seize a Wildlife reserve. Local police storm the building and arrest all but one of the men without a single casuality, prompting the group to be laughed off. '''

''' A fire breaks out in a New York City bar, killing 16 people. '''

Border disputes break out between North and South Dakota, showing further incohesion in the RSA

Border dispute near Toledo City results in the deaths of 2 people.

Be more specific. Were the people that died Michiganders of Ohions?

Upheaval in RSA nations worldwide begins as the People's Republic of Germany assumes the role as the orginizations leader.

The RSA nations of East Asia commit to containing the SCO and agree to work toghether to limit the power of the SCO, a stark difference from the RSA's status in the rest of the world.

'''Note: Deleware was supposed to accept the Marylander proposal for union. As of this turn Deleware and Maryland are united.'''
 * The Federal Republic of Michigan sends diplomats to Columbus to resolve the situation that has arisen from the border dispute. The diplomatic team assures Ohio that it does not seek war, as it would rather focus on maintaining peace in the Great Lakes region. Having hand a long history with Wisconsin, the President proposes that Wisconsin and Michigan merge together to form a Great Lakes Union, citing long cultural, political and economic ties, stemming from Michigan being one of Wisconsin's key trading partners, to Michigan aid for Wisconsin against Minnesota in the War of 1910. The result of such a union would benefit both nations greatly. (mod response) Domestically, Detroit is booming, with the auto industry expanding greatly. Ford Motors begins expanding across the North American continent and overseas in Europe. Michigan also sees a rise in the size of it's reserves, leading to over 30,000 men in reserve. As part of Michigan's policy of branching out to the world, aid is sent to New York City. Noting the border dispute between North and South Dakota, vice-president Jack Swanson calls for the removal of communist governments in North America, stating "The RSA is no longer welcome on North America." His words cause a stir, not least because it is seen as a sharp derivative from Michigan's policy of neutrality. Jack Swanson points to the Superior Crisis, when Minnesotan vessels violated Michigan waters and sunk a fishing boat back in the 50's, as an example of why Michigan must be more firm in defending itself.
 * Wisconsin Rejects (RNG 5)
 * You are allowed to make up some history but not all of this to justify war against random nations. Also your MAX man power is currently ~26k so there is no way you have 30,000 in reserve. Aslo both North and South Dakota are Pro-RSA so I don't understand why your president would be making such statements. Also I would advise against pissing off two of the largest alliances in the game at the same time.
 * It's the vice-president.
 * The RSA responds by calling Michigan's president a "Capitalist Tyrant". Minnesota in particular responds by petitioning to join the RSA as a full member.
 * Columbian Dip: Columbus seeks no conflict with Michigan. As far as the republic is concerned the incident is nothing but an incident with no relation towards the government. To cement the peace, a 5 year NAP is proposed.
 * Michigan agrees to the proposal.


 * The Republic of Maryland:  Spiro Agnew maintains his position as President. Political parties are abolished by President Agnew as part of a plan to consolidate the nation. The population stands at 4.7 million, but family growth is encouraged as abortion is abolished. Marriage laws are being reevaulated by the Supreme Court as possibly too strict. As the capital is moved to inner Baltimore, a plan is drafted to clean out crime and polution from the city. This plan is seen with some skepticism by those who consider the city a lost cause. Many engineering companies in Maryland are contracted by the government to encourage growth in science and technology, particularly in the newly-created internet. The Maryland Energy Efficiency Agency (MEEA) works to consolidate the farm lands of western Maryland as an indigenous bread basket for the nation. The largely unsettled area around Washington, DC is expanded as part of the consolidation process. Delaware is folded into the republic, with the Atlantic navy thus expanded. The military is expanded, with 20,000 men positioned at key points allong the Potomac River, and 10,000 in reserve. We ask for membership in the EC. Maryland declares war on Pennsylvania, invading with 15,000 troops and 12 tanks to capture Philedelphia and surrounding counties. Maryland declares support for the rebellion in Virginia. 


 * Michigan considers Maryland aggression with extreme concern, and thus, sends 4,000 troops to Pennsylvania, to aid in defeating Maryland forces. 5,000 more troops are prepared for deployment.
 * Maryland asks for Wisconson for an alliance, seeing a mutual problem of Michigan's aggression
 * South California: Our president Leo T. McCarthy continues to focus on heavily improving infrastructure withing our largest and least populated areas, re-vitalizing and significantly strengthening the public sector of our national economy, and keeping the country completely isolated from world politics. We offer non-aggression pacts to North California, Oregon, and Washington.


 * Cuba is disappointed by Puerto Rico's rejection, and also disillusioned with the fact that the leader of the alliance Cuba just joined actively diplomatically opposes it. President Castro continues the expansion of the military, especially the navy, as well as expanding agricultural production. Disillusion also grows as the Cuban government watches the SDC's tacit acceptance of the Dominican Republic's repressive government and rigged elections (OOC: going by OTL events in the Caribbean here). Cuban spies, gaining the tacit support of the shut-out left-wing opposition, plan an intervention in the area. Late in the year, after several opposition politicians are seized, Cuban forces launch a surprise landing near Puerto Plata, using the full deployable strength of the Cuban military. The much larger Cuban air force and navy offer support, crushing their Dominican equivalents. Cuba demands the Dominican Republic be expelled from the SDC for its human rights abuses until a more repressive government comes into power. It asks for aid from Florida and Louisiana to uphold democracy and the rule of law in the Gulf. Secretly, Cuba offers Brazil basing rights in Guantanamo Bay in return for its non-intervention. (Mod Responses).
 * ​RNG USED: 1,2 Brazil goes to war, 3,4 Brazil Accepts the deal, 5,6 Brazil expels Cuba from the SDC, 7,8, Brazil sanctions Cuba and pushes for peace, 9,10 Brazil does nothing. 
 * Brazil, with the ongoing tensions in the Atlantic, decides that a base in the Gulf would be valuble, and accepts the Cuban proposal (RNG result 4)
 * Louisana Rejects
 * Florida is considered a player nation until turn 5.
 * Republic of New York: We begin to split our nation into 16 federal districts, akin to states in the former USA. Our recently completed elections leave the New Democrats in power in parliament, but with the Prime Minister being a federalist. This government quickly passes several education reforms, as well as a military expansion yet, Increasing the military's size to 90,000 active soldiers, as well as numerous trucks, tanks, and a small but effective air force. The Economy is also Improved, mostly through industrial growth in major cities, such as Buffalo, Albany, and NYC, but also through increased agricultural production in the Upstate regions. After almost 50 years of our capital being in Albany, we change its location to New York City. In order to deal with the bar fire, we put stricter regulations on flammables in bars and introduce small fines for being drunk in public. With our population already vastly in favor of the EC, we ask to officially join the organization(Mod Response). We declare war on Pennsylvania, and send 40,000 troops, as well as 25 tanks and air support, with the goal of taking over much of the nation. 


 * Due to the entry of New York, Michigan declares war upon both Maryland and New York. The army is mobilised, and navael vessels begin engaging New York forces. Furthermore, an alliance offer is sent to the Columbus Republic, with the President stating that a new era is dawning for both Michigan and Columbus, and it is best that the two nations join forces against Maryland and New York Aggression.
 * The Republic of Virginia: Virginia continues to build up it's economy and military. President Ron Jones continues his term as the President of Virginia, with the promise of protecting the liberty of the populace and to ensure that no foriegn nations shall infringe on the independence of Virginia. Learning of the wildlife reserve incident, the men are innterogated fiercly. After three long hours, the five men say they are Marylander patriots, trying to cause unrest amoung the Virginia. Ron Jones calls for the possibility of sending men up to the border to protect in the case of an incursion. Ron signs a bill which makes it manditory for every household to have a firearm to protect themselves from any threat at anytime. Congress also passes through a bill that cuts all government programs in Virginia (Exculding the fire and police department) to allow the people to do what they want with their tax dollars. Congress also encourages people to form militas and to train themselves in case of an attack. Seeing how the Marylander government is agressing against the liberty of their people, the Virginian government dissuades trade between the two nations Virginia wishes to establish free trade with any state former U.S states to help grow our economies as well as to get on each other's good side. Virginia asks Kentucky whether if the nation would like to union with Virginia, to protect the people's liberty and freedom from oppessive governments (MOD RESPONCE) . Rothbardian continue to be large hits amoung the populace. After a vote from congress, North Carolina's offer is rejected. After about 60,000 militamen have been mobilized at the northern part of Virginia, Virginia declares war on Maryland, citing that the state has been oppressing its populations freedoms and trying to destablize Virginia.
 * The state of Minnesota is declared a Parliamentary Semi-Socialist Kingdom. We stand firm against Michigan. Pablo DiMaggio is declared king with Walter Mondale as Prime Minister. King Pablo I first act as king is to. Support is pledged to South Dakota. A request is sent to Iowa for a confederated merger that would give Iowa a larger influence and provide them with a larger economy. The millartry grows in light of the current tensions against Michigan. Local maltias are established. Iorn mining increases. Agricultural prediction also increases. Shipping in the Great lakes increases. Many former United States coast guard ships our equipped with guns, to be used as defense against Michigan in trade.  We also request a business deal with New York with Buffalo serving as point of entrance for our trade ships, full of Iron and agricultural goods . Ties with the RSA worsen because of our support of South Dakota and declaration of a Monarchy, but we remind them of our semi-socialist views are still open for membership.
 * New York agree to the trade deal and alliance.
 * Oct, you retard. Communism is against monarchism. You cannot be a member, period. Full scale civil war should have broken out now.
 * We never were communist we were just influenced, and we are still semi-socailist, which is possible, look at the Nordic countries.
 * *sigh*
 * Iowa Response: rejected. (7)
 * Michigan sends diplomats to Minnesota, in order to explain that, dispute Vice-President Jack Swanson's declaration, the President only wishes for peace with Minnesota, as Michigan would prefer not to be involved in a war against them. Michigan proposes that Minnesotan vessels will be allowed entry to Lake Erie in return for a NAP of 5 years.
 * Lone Star Republic: Seeing the insanity of war in the North East and Midatlantic, Texas decides that this is a good chance to limit Virgnina's power and sends men to support Maryland. However direct decleration of war is avoid and the operation remains top secret within the Government of the Lone Star Republic. The current government functions essientally as a Duumvirate, with President Blake and High-General Sampson controling most of the nations government and actions. Population breaches 19 million, and the military is increased to 70,000 given all the current craziness in the world. The navy again nearly doubles in size and power projecton, while the airforce finally sees some love at the expense of the nations ground forces, the technology of which remains the same as last year. Oil production increases, and we seek deals with any nations willing to take a strong deal. The army moves to seize territory in Oklahoma, hoping to gain a strategic edge in the region. However, a Defensive line is formed near the Rio Grande, although not on the River itself,  should Mexico get any funny ideas about what they want to do.
 * Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved. Elections for President and Prime Minister are held. Mel Carnahan and Roger B. Wilson are elected to be the new President and Prime Minister, respectively.
 * Rhode Island: We continue to build our military and infrastructure. We normally looking to recruit troops at R.I. and aiming to gain more of that. The military usually looking to be completed next year and we hope that there's no such things to improve wisely, but indeed we could build one of the defensive buildings for more matter defense.

 * Columbus Republic: The Colombus Republic decides to apply to join the EC(EDGE PLS RESPOND M8). President Wil Trapp is elected first Columbian President. Several laws are made, including laws regarding abortion, firearms and same-sex marriages. Columbus legalises the same-sex marriage, it legalises the posession of firearms and declares it mandatory for teachers to be trained with a firearm so that they can protect their students if neccessarily. Columbus legalises abortion, but it also makes it so that the mother can not decide on her own. All citizens between the ages of 18-50 have two serve two years of military training, so Columbus can call upon them if need be. Border patrols are installed at every border. Columbus ask for an alliance with New York. Effrost are made to rebuild social life in theRepublic. A football league is set up(for true football not handegg). The Columbus Republic attacks Indiana with the goal of quickly bringing the state udner our rule so we can spread our superior ideals to their people. 30.000 troops move in.
 * ​EC is still considered a player nation.
 * In response to fire in Flint, the Federal Republic of Michigan attempts to address the crisis by diverting resources to find another source of water. Noting the Columbus invasion of Indiana with alarm, Michigan sends a message to the Columbus government, requesting that Michiana be ceded to Michigan. Otherwise, Michigan will regard the NAP as having ended. Michigan then deploys ten thousand men to the border with Indiana. A further five thousand are deployed to the border with Columbus. Any damages incurred by the War are swiftly being repaired, with trade being opened with several nations who are willing.
 * ​The war in penn is over. Are you invading New York?
 * Oh. Whoops. Let me fix this.
 * Columbus states it does not seek war with Michigan, but that it simply doesn't need to give Michigan anything to keep peace. Should Michigan end the NAP, that would be seen as an act of hostility towards Columbus.
 * Michigan cites that Michigan City, an area which historically has had close ties with Michigan, is the center of Michiana. Thus, Michigan feels that it is in it's best interest to secure this area. 9,000 troops move into Michiana, claiming the land as Michigan territory.


 * Cuba ends its offensive in the Dominican Republic having seized the capital and much of the southern areas. A provisional government consisting of Dominican opposition forces is put in place in this area; the Cuban government announces plans to unite the two nations into the Caribbean Commonwealth, for which national elections to a united Caribbean Parliament are to be held next year. Cuba is concerned by Venezuelan withdrawal from the SDC, particularly in light of the fax this was done in support of the brutal Dominican dictatorship. It offers the tiny SDC-aligned nations of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis, all of which are immediately beside Venezuela, a place inside this new Commonwealth for protection from Venezuela. (Mod Responses)
 * All nations reject citing the Cuban agression.
 * The Republic of Virginia: Virginia continues to build up it's economy and military. President Ron Jones continues his term as the President of Virginia, with the promise of protecting the liberty of the populace and to ensure that no foriegn nations shall infringe on the independence of Virginia. The general that was in charge of the Maryland campaign is relived of his duties, and goes into exile. Strangely, the man dies a few weeks after his revilement of duty. Ron signs a bill which makes it manditory for every household to have a firearm to protect themselves from any threat at anytime. Congress also passes through a bill that cuts all government programs in Virginia (Exculding the fire and police department) to allow the people to do what they want with their tax dollars. Congress also encourages people to form militas and to train themselves in case of an attack. The military campaign in Maryland finishes up this year. (Will make a map of what I took) Virginia wishes to establish free trade with any state former U.S states to help grow our economies as well as to get on each other's good side. Virginia asks Pennsylvania whether if the nation would like to union with Virginia, to protect the people's liberty and freedom from both (the now weakened) Maryland and New York, both who are seemingly be hostile (MOD RESPONCE) . Rothbardian works continue to be large hits amoung the populace. After a vote from congress, North Carolina's offer is rejected.
 * Pennsylvaia rejects, saying that they just fought a massive war to secure their independence.
 * The Republic of Maryland:Spiro Agnew maintains his position as President. Political parties are abolished by President Agnew as part of a plan to consolidate the nation. The population stands at 4.7 million, but family growth is encouraged as abortion is abolished. Marriage laws are being reevaulated by the Supreme Court as possibly too strict. As the capital is moved to inner Baltimore, a plan is drafted to clean out crime and polution from the city. This plan is seen with some skepticism by those who consider the city a lost cause. Many engineering companies in Maryland are contracted by the government to encourage growth in science and technology, particularly in the newly-created internet. The Maryland Energy Efficiency Agency (MEEA) works to consolidate the farm lands of western Maryland as an indigenous bread basket for the nation. The largely unsettled area around Washington, DC is expanded as part of the consolidation process. Delaware is folded into the republic, with the Atlantic navy thus expanded. The military is expanded, with 30,000 men positioned at key points allong the Potomac River, and 15,000 in reserve . A military alliance is sought with North Carolina, pledging support in their fight for freedom. The military is greatly pulled back to more defensible positions near the borders of Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Chesepeake Bay is blockaded by the navy to prevent Virginian incursion.
 * ​Still beyond your current capacities
 * North Carolina Accepts.
 * SCO: We continue our military buildup and economic expansion. Seeing the rise of the GEAA and the (possible) downfall of the RSA, we decide to conduct a military buildup along the Indian border as a counter-measure (and as a military ruse to distract them from the real objective: the GEAA) and begin providing money to other RSA members in Southeast Asia in an attempt to contain their influence. The nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan and Tajikistan are proposed to join the organisation, with a 2/3rds majority of approval being obtained for all three nation-states, and a proposal is sent to them to join SCO (RNG required).
 * Kazakhstan: Accepts (6)
 * Krygstan: Rejects (3)
 * Tajikistan: Accepts (2)
 * Minnesota: Trade continues. Iron mining continues to grow. Alliance is requested with the SDC. A request is sent to South Dakota for a confederated defense oriented merger. The purpose is stop the Dictatorship of North Dakota from interfering in our affairs. Military grows to stop the Michigan threat. A small Minnesotan fishing boat sinks near Michigan waters near Isle Royal. A request is sent to Michigan for a investigation.
 * Michigan commences an investigation into the incident, but also questions what the vessel was doing so close to Michigan land, and in Michigan waters.


 * Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved.
 * Red Star Alliance:Germany suddenly due to the collapse of the USSR becomes the most powerfull member of the Red Star Alliance,wanting to take a leading role, now Germany plans to make the European part of the Red Star alliance into a United European Federative Socialist Republic (UEFSR) or simply United Europe, promising a free undictactorical equal state and a stop to the collapse of the Red Star Alliance,with the general thought being that they should also include Turkey in. Germany's Gov take publicly an oath to stop the collapse of the Red Star Alliance, but not at the expense of others, as the USSR did.Ge rmany create its planned union,with the support of many other Red Alliance members, with their policy being initially of intergrating their United Republics.At the end of the year the United European Federative Socialist Republic (UEFSR) or simply United Europe is created including Turkey and Cyprus too.Berlin becomes the capital of the United European Federative Socialist Republic (UEFSR) and also the capital of the Red Star Alliance.With the United European Federative Socialist Republic (UEFSR) moving ideologically closer towards socialism, the Red Star Alliance also starts moving ideologically closer towards Socialism .United Europe asks the Greater East Asian Alliance to find a settlement and stop quarrel with each other,in order to stop the collapse of Communism.We also ask the SCO to imrpove relationships and make a deal to split the former USSR in spheres of influence.We also pressure Hungary, Montenegro, Macedonia, Estonia, Lithuania, Letonia, Finland and Belarus into joining the United European Federative Socialist Republic (UEFSR)(Mod Responce)/(RNG required).
 * ​You control the military force of the RSA/The alliance as a whole. You can't just declare that every nation in Europe is unititing. Not only is that beyond your capablity, but it is also wicked dumb and impossible. Specially uniting Turkey, which isn't culturally European, with the Balkans, who are culturally balkanized, and Germany. This just isn't possible.
 * The Batlic Nations Reject. (MOD)
 * Belerus rejects (3)
 * Hungry rejects (MOD)
 * Macedonia: rejects (1)
 * Kosovo: Rejects (1)
 * The Greater East Asian Alliance accepts the proposal for peace but refuses to rejoin the RSA and asks that the RSA recognizes this choice. (4)
 * Can we talk in chat?
 * Rhode Island: We continue to build up military and expand economy, as plans for expansion is not yet planned fully. We recruit 350 troops to make better military.
 * The Lone Star Republic continues its miltiary build up. The War in Oklahoma concludes, and in order to ensure that rebellions do not occur, the territory is occupied as it is prepared for full absorbtion. Airforce and Navy continue to expand, while the army also sees some expansion. Population stands at 21 million. Expansion of public works continues, as irrigation technology improves. More in the next turn.
 * Military Dictatorship of Florida: General Henry Mountbatten ruled over the Dictatorship with an iron grip, with the capital of the Florida based at Tallahassee. The land forces stood at 85,000 with an additional 200,000 reserve force constituting of former U.S. military and the U.S. Defected Units. The naval forces were exceptionally strong, particularly due to the capitulation of the Floridan Republican Navy to the Dictatorship. The Dictatorship invested into the automobile and armaments industry, in order to outrank other U.S. states in terms of armament technology and also monetarily funded the Neo-Confederacy Movement, aiming to establish and secure Southern Unity.

 * The Federal Republic of Michigan expands the war in Indiana by sending even more troops, moving to seize all Greater Michiana. 10,000 men are now moving in to secure the area, to keep it out of Columbus hands. Michigan seeks closer relations with Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wisconsin, while also requesting an alliance with the New England states. (Mod response) Economic ventures aboard bring back luxurious trade for Michigan. The President request closer relations with the EC, while also moving to restore Michigan to pre war strength. Due to war with Ohio and New York, Michigan fully mobilises, and sends a message to Illinois, requesting that they join the war to stop Ohio. The same is asked of Canada and Pennsylvania. (Mod response) A defensive line of 10,000 troops is made before Lansing.

'''The Dictatorship of Florida request the states of Alabama and Georgia to pool their economic, and military resources together as a Southern Republic, designed to secure hegemony in the South as well as the upholding of Southern cultural values and the individual integrity of each state. [Mod Response]'''
 * Canada: With the secession of the Greater East Asian Alliance and the rejection of the Eastern European countries, we see this as an ample time for expansion. We begin an invasion of Alaska. We also support separatists in the former USSR, mostly the Karelians, Transnistrians, and Chechens. We attempt to establish more favorable relations with Wisconsin and Michigan
 * ​Columbus requests an alliance with Canada
 * Michigan accepts closer relations.
 * The Republic of Maryland: Spiro Agnew maintains his position as President. Political parties are abolished by President Agnew as part of a plan to consolidate the nation. The population stands at 4.7 million, but family growth is encouraged as abortion is abolished. Marriage laws are being reevaulated by the Supreme Court as possibly too strict.

The military is expanded, with 40,000 men positioned at key points allong the Potomac River, and 20,000 in reserve. With the alliance with North Carolina, pressure is placed on Virginia from the south, ensuring that they do not attempt an invasion of Maryland again for fear of attack. Military and economic aid is asked from Maryland's allies in Europe, declaring that Maryland should be the de jure administrator of the East Coast on their behalf. 
 * ​Maryland invites Texas to build a single naval base on an island off the coast of Delaware
 * Max capacity is 13k at the moment. Even in a dire pinch you could only get that up to ~20k
 * Last game had troop spam as common place. This game does not. Your maximum capacity for troops is currently ~93,000.
 * Georgian Response: Rejected (RNG USED, EVEN YES, ODD NO, 9)
 * Alabama Response: Rejected (RNG used, 1-4 yes, 5-10 no, 10)
 * Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved.
 * Rhode Island: We continue to recruit 500 troops and normally build up the military to increase military better. So far our plan, for any invasions is still not yet planned due to the smaller troops. Indeed the more population we can have the troops can be recruited as much as possible. We also continue to build defensive buildings through the closer borders.
 * Columbus Republic: The Colombus Republic decides to apply to join the EC(EDGE PLS RESPOND M8).  President Wil Trapp is elected first Columbian President. Several laws are made, including laws regarding abortion, firearms and same-sex marriages. Columbus legalises the same-sex marriage, it legalises the posession of firearms and declares it mandatory for teachers to be trained with a firearm so that they can protect their students if neccessarily.

Border patrols are installed at every border.   Effrost are made to rebuild social life in theRepublic. A football league is set up(for true football not handegg).  The Columbus Republic is pleased with the taking of the majority of Indiana(considering how Michigan went in for Michiana and thus won't have that much of Indiana) and sets its sights on the traitorous michigan, which betrayed our NAP. 30.000 troops move for Lansing, intending to cut the head as quickly as possible. 15.000 troops are stationed in Indiana and Ohio, to defend our territories. 
 * Republic of New York:  We begin to split our nation into 16 federal districts, akin to states in the former USA. Our recently completed elections leave the New Democrats in power in parliament, but with the Prime Minister being a federalist. This government quickly passes several education reforms, as well as a military expansion yet, Increasing the military's size to 90,000 active soldiers, as well as numerous trucks, tanks, and a small but effective air force. The Economy is also Improved, mostly through industrial growth in major cities, such as Buffalo, Albany, and NYC, but also through increased agricultural production in the Upstate regions. After almost 50 years of our capital being in Albany, we change its location to New York City. In order to deal with the bar fire, we put stricter regulations on flammables in bars and introduce small fines for being drunk in public.  With our population already vastly in favor of the EC, we ask to officially join the organization(Mod Response). New York declares war upon Michigan, joining Columbus on a seperate front. 25.000 troops are used. (FIRES ASKED ME TO POST FOR HIM)
 * You assholes. You complete and utter.....how is going the War on the same side as you breaking an NAP? Also, I have to question weather joint the EC is a good idea. It has a player. Joining it means you are a vassal.
 * Need fires to come on and verify this for me. ~Edge.
 * I can.
 * My talk page verifies this. Also Spar, no swearing on the game page. ~Tech
 * SCO:  We continue our military buildup and economic expansion, as usual. With Kyrgystan and Kazakhstan as full-fledged SCO members, we decide to propose to Tajikistan to become an observer instead, seeing as they had rejected the full membership. With this though, we see the opportunity to continue our buildup along the Indian border, and in  secret  prepare to take Korea. Although, keeping this in mind, we propose to Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar/Burma to join SCO and withdraw from the RSA. as full members, and promise them a better future and better economic prosperity than the RSA could ever give. However, we begin to prepare to include long-term plans to expand our sphere into the former US, and various trade packs as proposed to RSA members in the region. Meanwhile, with a 2/3rds majority approval from our members, Venezuela is invited to join SCO.


 * ​SCO Diplomacy: This Organisation formally invites Venezuela to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
 * Red Star Alliance Dip:We also formaly invite Venezuela to join the Red Star Alliance.

''' The European Committee, Mexico, and North California are now considered NPC! '''
 * Minnesota: war is declared on Michigan to support new York/Colombus and to stop Future Michigan aggression.
 *  Mod Event: The European Committee votes to send troops for the defence of Michigan, as Minnesota is historiclly anti-European Comittee. Wisconsin also joins their ally, but the New England States and North Carolina do not. The EC rejects Colombus' and New York's request to join the orgniziation. 
 * Columbus spits on the EC's ignorance towards Michigan's treacherous behavior. If it wishes to support a nation which is prepared to break pacts and alliances then Columbus seeks no relations with the treacherous Europeans. 
 * Columbus reaches out towards the SDC, seeking their backing in this war against Michigan and the EC.(EDGE pls respond)
 * The SDC pledges support but can only spare supplies due to the nature of the conflict against the EC (2)
 * Michigan fights with the courage of wolverines. With fight against New York in Detroit, and support from the EC, Michigan requests that Canada and Illinois join the war, as well as New Jersey. (Mod response) With peace having been made with Columbus, Michigan now divides her forces to engage both New York and Minnesota. The Michigan navy sets sail, heading to cut off New York's supply line, with fighting against Minnesota in the north. An offensive is planned to seize Duluth from Minnesota, and drive to Minneapolis. As of right now, 16,100 troops are fighting for Detroit, while 10,000 fight against Minnesota. Guerilla activity in occupied areas is encouraged, and Vice-President Jack  Swanson declares this the War for the Great Lakes.
 * Illinois Accepts (6)
 * New Jeresy Rejects (1)
 * Canada: We join the war on the side of Michigan. While most of our forces continue to invade Alaska, a third of our forces attack Minnesota and New York.
 * RSA:We declear war to Canada, cause they are attacking Alaska, which is an RSA member.
 * Columbus suggests a treaty with Michigan, proposing a white peace(Michigan gets Michiana) a 10 year NAP and Michigan no longer involving itself in Columbus's war with Pennssylvania
 * Michigan accepts.
 * The Lone Star Republic: Continues military build up, and begins construction on the Maryland Naval Base. The base is planned to house 2,000 Texan troops and several battle ships.We offer the Desert Freedom fighters arms and training if they agree to become a Lone Star Republic Protectorate post independence. 
 * Deseret(MOD): 7. Deseret declines the offer
 * Red Star Alliance:We offer alliance to the Lone Star Republic,seeing that they are not aligned with any other alliance, promising support in future wars, as well a mediation between them and Mexico.
 * Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved.
 * Columbus Republic: The Colombus Republic decides to apply to join the EC(EDGE PLS RESPOND M8).  President Wil Trapp is elected first Columbian President. Several laws are made, including laws regarding abortion, firearms and same-sex marriages. Columbus legalises the same-sex marriage, it legalises the posession of firearms and declares it mandatory for teachers to be trained with a firearm so that they can protect their students if neccessarily. Columbus legalises abortion, but it also makes it so that the mother can not decide on her own. All citizens between the ages of 18-50 have two serve two years of military training, so Columbus can call upon them if need be. Border patrols are installed at every border.   Effrost are made to rebuild social life in theRepublic. A football league is set up(for true football not handegg).  The Columbus Republic, now at peace with Michigan, focuses all it has on Pennssylvania. 40.000 troops are used to repel the Pennssylvanians from our land and to push further into Pennssylvanian land.
 * Red Star Alliance:After 3 years that the People's Republic of Germany assumes the role as the Red Star Alliance leader, the infighting inside the alliance stops, thanks to People's Republic of Germany efforts to consolidate their position, as the alliance's indisputable leader,with the nations of the Alliance see this infighting leads nowere,agreeing to recognize German leadership of the alliance and the alliance becomes a lot more stable.  Many efforts are made to improve the economy such as a new 5 year plan improving the RSA industrial productivity and also planning to eliminate any food shortages/ importing with collectivization farms opening all around European RSA member, Turkey, Cyprus and Egypt, but adapting to a more humane way from the USSR collectivization programs by using better technology and having a little less expectations, expecting to completly eliminate food imports by 2002. New reforms are made encouraging the creation of new technologies,such as the creator gaining a special creator's salaries, which are 5 times bigger than the average working class salary, also the initiative reforms were any RSA-citizen could suggest a new initiative, and as long it doesn't contradict the values of communism and its efficiency be checked by a committee, goes straight to a poll, initially will be implemented in a small-scale (like a small city) to test the results and then if successful will pass through the government as a bill, and shall be implemented across the RSA, with the person that had the idea gaining a special innitiative salaries, which are 5 times bigger than the average working class salary, while they would still have to continue to work and get paid only the special salary . The alliance's ideology slightly turns towards socialism. People's Republic of Germany proposes a reorganization to the People's Republic of Austria with them forming a single People's Republic in order to stall the fall of communism, since both our People's Republic's have ethnic German majority, however the People's Republic of Germany threatens that they have the backing of the RSA military and will just enforce this decision if the People's Republic of Austria declines, for the good of the whole RSA. We start doing military buildup, and inscrease our nuclear arsenal by 5.000 to 10.000 by mining Uranium from from Dresden area with the Wismut mining company returning to 1970 uranium peak production with near 7000 tons of Uranium per year been extracted. We ask Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, UAE, Oman, Qatar to join our alliance. (RNG required) As the Greater East Asian Alliance seems that will never join the RSA again, we are forced to offer them recognition but under terms, as we ask them since we are both communists to aid each other, since this is the most crucial time for communism from WW2, by aggreeing to help/aid each other stop any alliance members that try to leave, by force if nessecary, also with our influence in Eastern Asia failing, thanks to the SCO, we offer to give them our remaining members in East Asia (Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, Laos) and Afghanistan in exchange for all the things mentioned above plus the promise of future military help in any wars and alliance between our alliances. (Mod Response) We also ask European Committee to warm our relationships by giving us Hungary, in exchange we will give them Libya and agreeing to a 2 year NAP, for start. (Mod Response) 
 * Military Dictatorship of Florida:   General Henry Mountbatten ruled over the Dictatorship with an iron grip, with the capital of the Florida based at Tallahassee. The land forces stood at 50,000 with an additional 43,000 reserves. The naval forces were exceptionally strong, particularly due to the capitulation of the Floridan Republican Navy to the Dictatorship. The Dictatorship invested into the automobile and armaments industry, in order to outrank other U.S. states in terms of armament technology and also monetarily funded the Neo-Confederacy Movement, aiming to establish and secure Southern Unity. The Dictatorship of Florida begins expansion of the Key West, and Whiting Field Air Stations; hoping to establish air dominance in the Carribean. The NAS Jacksonville Base is heavily fortified, and emphasis is given on securing naval shipping lines in the Atlantic and Carribean, to secure Floridan trade. Meanwhile, General Henry Mountbatten visited Cuba to recognize the new regime, and promise friendship and goodwill, as well as pledge support to Cuba in face of Brazils opposition. Meanwhile, Florida begins to influence Georgia to merge with Florida [Turn 1 of whatever].  


 *  ​ Can't do that. War or 10 turns till peacful annexation attempts.
 * The Republic of Virginia: Virginia continues to build up it's economy and military. President Ron Jones is re-elected as the President of Virginia, with the promise of protecting the liberty of the populace and to ensure that no foriegn nations shall infringe on the independence of Virginia. The general that was in charge of the Maryland campaign is relived of his duties, and goes into exile. Strangely, the man dies a few weeks after his revilement of duty. Ron signs a bill which makes it manditory for every household to have a firearm to protect themselves from any threat at anytime. Congress also passes through a bill that cuts all government programs in Virginia (Exculding the fire and police department) to allow the people to do what they want with their tax dollars. Congress also encourages people to form militas and to train themselves in case of an attack. Virginia wishes to establish free trade with any state former U.S states to help grow our economies as well as to get on each other's good side. Rothbardian works continue to be large hits amoung the populace. Virginia declares neutrality in the conflict, and starts to work torwards it's long-awaited islolationist policy.
 * SCO:  We continue our military buildup and economic expansion. With Venezuela's refusal to join SCO, we instead look to the Caribbean Commonwealth for membership, as a counter-balance. With this in mind, we decide to propose them membership, with a slight 2/3rds majority taking place. However, with this in mind, we begin to stop our buildup, but construct some low-level fortifications along the Indo-Chinese border, and at the same time, we begin to sponsor uprisings in Korea in order to sway them to the organisation's side. Keeping this in mind, we also decide to sponsor uprisings in Vietnam to saw them to SCO as well, and in the RSA nation-states in Southeast Asia.


 * SCO Diplomacy: We propose to Cuba, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar to join SCO as full members, Tajikistan as an observer member, as well as Russia as an observer member (due to recent unrest in the region, for now).

The Republic of Maryland:  Spiro Agnew maintains his position as President. Political parties are abolished by President Agnew as part of a plan to consolidate the nation. The population stands at 4.7 million, but family growth is encouraged as abortion is abolished. Marriage laws are being reevaulated by the Supreme Court as possibly too strict. The Agnew plan is enacted in Baltimore, resulting in crime rates dropping dramatically in the first year. Many engineering companies in Maryland are contracted by the government to encourage growth in science and technology, particularly in the newly-created internet. The Maryland Energy Efficiency Agency (MEEA) works to consolidate the farm lands of western Maryland as an indigenous bread basket for the nation. The largely unsettled area around Washington, DC is expanded as part of the consolidation process. Delaware is folded into the republic, with the Atlantic navy thus expanded. Massive expansions of the military continue, with new military hardward from Northrop Grumman added.

Arizona:We expand our military. We again ask New Mexico to merge as an Autonomous Region (Mod Response). We ask the EC not to infringe on our affairs as we will no longer attack New Mexico if they decline. We ask for an alliance with Texas and a trade agreement with California. Kevin O'Reilly is elected president of Arizona and begins reforming the political system. We will aid Deseret if they become our vassal post independence(Mod Response). We stay neutral in the many wars racking North America for now. We offer an alliance to Canada. (Sorry about not posting for a while, I was busy with other stuff).
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We accept the alliance with Arizona. We allow Arizona to use land near Blackhead in Newfoundland as Naval Base on the Atlantic.
 * Arizona doesn't have a massive navy so this is pointless. ~Edge~
 * New Mexico rejects. (You need to wait 10 turns)
 * Deseret Rejects (RNGesus says 7) 

The Federal Republic of Michigan celebrates a hard won victory against New York. With new allies in the EC, Michigan finds itself in a rather stronger position politically. However, the cost is high. Rebuilding begins in Detroit and other areas affected by the war. Michigan produces a peace treaty, which states that Minnesota must cede it's coastline to Michigan, and pay damages it has caused. New York is also told to pay for the damages. The expansionist side has clearly won the debate, and in Presidential elections, Jack Swanson is now the President. He moves to claim land he refers to as Michigan proper. These lands include the Minnesotan coast, Michana, the Toledo Strip, parts of New York and parts of Indiana. He also declares the end of the war Great Lakes Day, to commemorate those who died fighting for Michigan's freedom. Economic ventures are conducted in Europe and Canada, as well as other EC aligned nations. The military is updated with the latest technology available from Europe. Missouri: Missouri builds up its military, and infrastructure is improved. Rhode Island: We continue to improve our military and infrastructure while more troops are recruited and more defensive buildings have been built in closed lands. For the future of Rhode Island, it seems that it's not most powerful state that can annex some of it. As it stands, we might recruit more troops and hopefully to plan the invasion which it could increase much more better pressure.
 * You should realise that you're being really hostile towards Ohio, Minnesota and New York. 
 * Columbian Dip: We request that President Swanson retract his statements regarding Columbian lands being Michigan proper. Both Toledo and Indiana are ours.
 * Michigan points out that Columbus has no legal claim over Indiana, and further reminds them that they have left thousands of dead civilians in Detroit, And Arbor, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Both nations should focus on peace, however.
 * Columbus laughs at Michigan's ridiculous claims(srsly, the war wasn't that bloody). Michigan has no legal claim over Michiana or anything it lays claim to outside of Michigan and the UP.
 * The GAF propuses SQAB for the sake of peace and sanity.
 * Fix your formatting next time. Same goes for Rhode Island
 * Sean pls Formatting was supposed to be bullet pointed but I gave up trying to fix it.

Greater American Federation: With the annexation of Oklahoma complete, the Lone Star Republic becomes the Greater American Federation. The Federation government holds elections, although the traditional Duumvirate remains in power. The Duumvirate conslidates power with military reforms, improving and modernizing the navy and airforce, as well as increasing the size of the army to 100,000. '''We propose froming the Concil of America to New York and Virgnia in order to promote an America free of Forgein Influence. '''
 * Columbus was thinking of the same idea, noticing the EC's expansion towards the traitorous and hostile Michigan. It suggests that the GAF, NY, Virginia and Columbus send representatives to discuss the idea.
 * Colombus is an SDP alligned state and is rejected from the concil on face until they sever ties with the SDP.

''' New Jersey withdraws from the European Comittee. '''

The Federal Republic of Michigan officially begins it's annexation of the Minnesotan coastline, (I assume this is what I gained in the war) and President Jack Swanson sends representatives to the GAR, explaining his position on the idea of Council of America: "While the concept is certainly enticing, Michigan has to defend itself. Thus, Michigan requests that if there is a COA, that it's members agree to defend the victim of aggression. If this is agreed, Michigan will leave the EC and join the COA. Michigan would also like it's claims over Columbus and Minnesota given recognition, citing that both nations are aligned to foreign blocs." Minnesota: Cook county is given to Michigan. A request is sent to Iowa for merger. '''A request is sent to New York and Columbus to form the Great Lakes Treaty organization, NATO for the great lakes and SDP aligned. '''Millatry grows with many young men wishing to join to combat the Michigan thereat. trade grows.
 * The GAF cites that Michigan only exists because of forgein aid and is a proxy of the European Commitee, so they should not throw around such acusations
 * You get 1 province. Not the entire coast.
