World War III: Black Gold Map Game

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

Rules

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

Globalfirepower Rule

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

Nations
Here are the nations of the war. Feel free to put the name of your selected nation/faction and add your signature on it.

2013
World:The world still suffers from the Great Recession.

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

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

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


 * What is the Russian Civil War? Reximus55 (talk)Feudalplague (talk) 04:35, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * My bad total typo Russia is currently involved in the Syrian civilwar

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

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

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

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

Indonesia: We offer trade with South Korea, and Japan as well as Trade with the United States.

USA:We attempt to fix the problem by promoting renewables within the construction industry as well as promote the computer and biotech industry to revitalize the American economy. Military buildup begins near the Syrian-Israeli border and the Syrian-Turkish border as America now wants to help the Syrian Opposition. The USA invades Syria, albeit reluctantly, to help the rebels and topple Assad. The US also halts its withdrawl from Afganistan until the Irani problem is dealt with. US forces are on DEFCON 2, the closest the world is to WWIII since the Cuban Missile Crisis. American satellites notice the military buildup in Colombia. The CIA notifies the president and has a a couple of decisions. Decision one is enforce sanctions on Colombia, decision 2 is invade Colombia and 3 is to find a peaceful alternative. The president decides to leave the affair for a later time and decide to focus on the Middle East instead. The US finally reaches Damascus with help from NATO forces(mainly UK-Turkish). Upgrades research by 0.25.
 * American Diplomacy:The American government asks that the US station forces in Taiwan and that they help the UN forces in the Middle East. America also requests trade with Brazil for the recently found oil fields in order to jump-start the US economy as well as temporarily gain access to Colombian oil in order to jumpstart the US economy.

Israel:Israel begins nuclear testing on September 5, 2013.This causes tension to rise in the Middle East,especially with Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Israel invades Lebanon,Syria and Jordan in an attempt to reach Irani borders. Israel claims that they need those 3 nations in order to fight off Iran and they are helping America dispose of Assad. Israel finally takes control of Lebanon and has half of Jordan and Syria.
 * The UN places economic and political sanctions on Israel.
 * The UN threatens to use military force against Israel if they do not withdraw from the three nations immediately.
 * The UK asks the UN to remove sanctions, and supports the Israelis in their pre-emptive strike on nations that intend to harm them. The UK furthermore, refuses to comply with the economic sanctions.
 * America asks the UN to remove their sanctions from Israel and ask to find a peaceful solution as they warn America is at DEFCON 2 and do not want to risk another world war.

Iran:Days before the Israeli nuclear tests Iran tests out its own nukes and builds up for war. This causes further tension to rise in the Middle East. Iran responds by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Iran tightens the blockade instead of stopping saying that their threats dont scare them and invades Iraq and Afganistan. The Iranis continue their attack and state that any ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz will be sunk on sight. Irani troops finally reach Badghad and a brutal battle between Iraqi-US-UN forces and Irani forces breaks out. The Taliban decide to join the Irani's side and begin(along with the Iranis) wrecking havoc on American-Afgani units. ​Ireland: Ireland drafts 50,000 and builds barracks. The nuclear program begins, and a bomb is being built.
 * The UN places economic and political sanctions on Iran.
 * The UN threatens to use military force against Iran if they do not discontinue blocking the Strait.
 * The UN sends a military force of 100,000 from various member nations to push back the Iranians from Iraq and Afghanistan.
 * Russia warns Iran to use less agressive tactics. SECRET - We consider you a strong ally, do not get us into a massive UN/NATO war just yet.

2014
'''World:With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, oil prices skyrocket to 230 USD a barrel and about 4.30 USD a gallon. '''

'''Europe:Similar cases of economic chaos are reported in Europe as some consider leaving the EU and in term the UN. '''

'''Middle East:With Iran, Israel, the US and NATO at war, the entire region is sent into a bloody war over oil. The Syrian Opposition begins to gain ground as the US and Israel roll into the country. '''

'''Asia/Oceania:China begins to consider becoming an expansionalist nation in an attempt to cope with their citizenship's increasing demand for natural resources. '''

'''South America:As the oil embargo against the rest of the world for South American oil begins, this hits western nations hard as so far only Venezuela is trading oil with America and its allies. The Colombian government begins a massive military buildup, which begins to concern the CIA.'''

India: Indian troops march on the Strait. We declare war on Pakistan, and thousands of troops pour across the border into Pakistan.

Germany: German forces are parachuted to the Strait. With the aid of the Indians, we take it in a week.

Algorithm Please.

America: We begin to increase our military involvement in the Middle East and attempt to move military forces into the Gulf and attempts to smash the blockade. The US meanwhile rushes the attempt to find renewables in response to the rise of oil prices. The US is able to stall Iran at Iraq and Afganistan.
 * American Diplomacy: Hey South Korea, Japan and Indonesia, you guys want to trade with us.
 * Irish Diplomacy: Do you wish to become allies?
 * American Diplomacy:The answer is that next time you want to nuke our allies, you got another thing coming, and  they accept but only on one condition:not to help the USA's enemies. OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iran:The Irani military is locked in a stalemate in Badgad after nearly 7 weeks of heavy fighting, meawhile in Afganistan the Irani war machine has been stalled by the Americans despite the Taliban's best efforts at crippling it. Iran begins to build more nukes. Iran fires an ICBM at Tel Aviv. The Iranis launch every nuke available at the Israelis. Israel:Jordan quickly falls to the Israeli war machine and provides support to Iraq in order to defend themselves from the Iranis. Israel begins to build more nukes. Israel retaliates by destroying Dublin and fire an ICBM at Tehran. The Israelis launch every nuke available to Iran.
 * Irani Diplomacy(SECRET):We ask the Russian people to join us in secrecy by providing training, weapons and equipment for our soldiers and some of their units in an attempt to break the stalemate by attacking Saudi Arabia.

'''The amount of nuclear weapons used in the Middle East increases global radiation levels by 2.0% and ecological balance has decreased by 6.4%. The radiation from the atomic explosions spread across the region and the world is thrown into a Second Great Depression.'''

'''American Alliance Association condems all nuclear strikes, Forces put on high alert. Oil Trade will resume on a nation by nation basis, each nation must ask the AAA individually to resume trade. '''
