That's odd. When I right-click on CFC, it seems to have a chance of opening a malware-site. update95 . com.

I didn't think that was a serious problem. No other pages are doing it though.

I haven't experienced any significant issues with CFC, but "update.95" has opened pop-ups trying to convince me that my Adobe flash needs to get an update from their website.
 
Well for the time being, it's making it so that if I try doing anything on CFC (going over orders and whatnot) an impossibility. It's quite maddening, I've tried several times this evening, and I hope whatever it is, that it's fixed soon.
 
Well, the problem seems to be resolved, I'll be resuming work on the update tonight, and we're tantalizingly close to completion. I'd say it'll be done tonight or tomorrow night.
 
Welcome to the forums, and Afghanistan is indeed available for the ruling upon the advent of the immanently imminent update.

GERMAN PILOT EXCEEDS SPEED OF SOUND. Hamburg, Germany. Reporters from multiple nations were on hand this year as young German test pilot Adolf Galland flew a highly experimental craft. Using a new highly secret method of propulsion on his new aircraft, affectionately called the "Komet," the test pilot has been confirmed to have travelled faster than the speed of sound. Spectators were awed by this development, which has shown a brand new advancement in technology and aeronautics beyond any older comprehension. Several anonymous sources from global aeronautics companies believe that the new craft will be unable to supplant older piston-engine craft, and leaked reports from the German military suggest a large number of fatalities in the testing process. Though the secrets behind the craft are tightly guarded, some allege that modified rockets such as those used for fireworks could be behind the high speeds. Still, the world of speed has to acknowledge this tremendous scientific and aeronautical leap that German scientists and developers has taken.

News from Europe​

THE INDEPENDENCE OF FLANDERS. Brussels, Flanders. As assured by the plebiscite in 1927, the Flemish people have been granted their independence by the united government of the Netherlands. Under the guidance of Flemish political leaders, a new republic has been established, similar to the united Dutch one. The first national elections were held in a spirited contest, and it came as a small surprise when Aart Gelens, leader of the Flemish Socialist Party was elected as the new Stadtholder. As one of the most outspoken proponents of Flemish independence, he was the natural leader and choice for the people of Flanders. The social proletarist organization also managed to achieve a clear majority in the Parliament, giving themselves an edge over any other party. The fallout has been felt in the Netherlands, as the government has returned to Amsterdam, citing its more defensible location, with the infrastructure currently intact. The withdrawal of the Flemish provinces has further led to a consolidation of the government as the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy of Stadtholder Gerbrant Smit has taken a new majority. This has managed to restore some stability to the government and nation. For the time being affairs are amicable between the two nations, as the borders remain fairly open and trade continues. (+1 Stability for Netherlands)

INFLUENZA OUTBREAK FRIGHTENS EUROPE. Nantes, Brittany. The latest outbreak of influenza has travelled across western Europe, leading to concern due to the devastating effects of prior outbreaks of this disease. Fortunately, the last decade has brought humanity great leaps and bounds in medicine, particularly due to Flemish research into the matter. Various new vaccines and treatments have improved man's understanding of illness and treatment, while modern media has allowed the words to spread to the masses. The worst of the epidemic subsided in mid-April, with less than six thousand, mostly the very old or weak, killed by it. Governments appeared behind the times, overreacting en masse, declaring quarantines and new measures to contain the lackluster spread. The disease faded down to more normal levels fairly quickly, as the scare was brought to an end with an incredibly low fatality rate among its victims.

MAJOR DROUGHT IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE. Munich, Germany. Scientists have noted that this year has marked some of the highest summer temperatures in recorded history in Europe. The summer proved unbearably hot and difficult, and with it, came a dearth of badly needed rainfall. This has caused some difficulties in the harvesting of crops from the former Confederation to Poland. The shortfalls have led to some localized food shortages in poorer nations, but fortunately the only effect has been in a marginal increase in costs. Local providers have been supplanted by foreign providers, particularly large food providers such as Russia, the United States, and Argentina. The new food supplies have prevented any starvation or massive price increases, allowing for most of the afflicted nations to maintain their standards of living. Governments have reacted to prevent price gouging and other exploitation of the drought by local dastards. There is extensive optimism that the coming of a particularly harsh winter heralds a much more temperate year in 1930.

ELECTIONS IN CECHY-MORAVA. Prague, Cechy-Morava. Elections in Cechy-Morava proved to be hard fought as the recent heat wave and rising food costs sparked a heavy debate. Opponents of the current government of President Přemysl Hlavač accused the conservative regime of spending the nation's money on military expansion rather than providing for the needs of the people. This proved a particularly effective campaign platform, and has eroded the base of the Traditionalist Party and its representatives. The leftists managed to present a hard fight for the conservatives, gaining a substantial number of seats, and forcing a coalition between the Traditionalist Party and the religious Party of Moral Defense. President Přemysl Hlavač has managed to retain his position along with his party, but has been forced to pledge numerous concessions to the leaders of the Moral Defense. This has been highly unpopular with the leftists resisting a religious presence in the nation's government and tensions among the political parties has become severely strained. (-1 Stability)

CORSICAN ELECTIONS HELD. Ajaccio, Corsica. The return of prosperity to the Mediterranean Sea has not gone unnoticed by the voters of Corsica. Despite the somewhat tarnished reputation of Prime Minister Antonio Carvelli from the involvement in the Rhine-Rhone War, it is widely agreed that the conflict was a desperate struggle for survival, and not a true hindrance to the political ambitions of his conservative Party of Tradition. With the nation's constitutional heavily weighted towards the conservatives, it still has been seen as a bit of surprise as the population has tended to favor them. With increased support from the Papacy, the conservatives have triumphed overwhelmingly, but there has been one problem. Prime Minister Carvelli has announced that he considers himself too old to undertake another term of office, stepping down and allowing his party to appoint a new head of government for the nation. They have thus selected noted conservative politician, Ricardo Martolla, who has been chosen to be the new Prime Minister of Corsica, and is one of the most favored and appreciated members of Corsica's Parliament by the masses. (+1 Stability)

ELECTIONS IN GERMANY. Munich, Germany. Despite any other failings of the conservative parties in Germany, President Anton Drexler has continued to be the most wildly popular head of state in German history. Still trumpeting his glorious victory over the Confederation, Drexler commands more power and respect than any of the previous German presidents or monarchs. Therefore it was very little surprise when he was reelected with his largest majority to date, giving him yet another mandate to govern the nation. The overall surging economy of Continental Europe and Germany's new position as its leader has further garnered domestic support for the New German Brotherhood, solidifying their position in the Reichstag. The growth of their own centralized power and Drexler's own electoral victory has promised another three years of the same regime for the leaders of Central and Western Europe. (+1 Stability)

OCCITANIAN ELECTIONS HELD. Toulouse, Occitania. The continuing strength of Europe's post-war economy has helped bolster the careers of many politicians throughout Europe. One of the beneficiaries has been Premier Ministre Pierre Durand of Occitania. This year, elections have once more been held for the seats within the Occitanian Chambre des Députés, the main governing body of the nation. With a surging economy attributed to the current regime's successful economic policies and programs, the population has turned out in support of the liberals. The success at the polls has been only slightly short of triumphant, as a considerable resistance to current governance remains in the nation's legislature. Regardless, this has been seen as public endorsement of liberal policies and position, presenting the Durand government with a new mandate to continue the economic reconstruction.

QUEEN PASSES AWAY IN POITOU. Poitiers, Poitou. To the dismay of the people and elected government of Poitou, the beloved Queen Joan de Guy has passed away from apparent heart failure. Though still fairly young, the stresses of the Rhine-Rhone War and its aftermath are said to have weighed heavily upon her. The throne of the nation now passes to her second child, who has been crowned as the new King Louis III of Poitou. While he has retained some of the moderate sentiments of his mother, he has a distinguished military record while serving in the Confederate army. Since the end of the war he has entered into the political sphere as an outspoken proponent of conservative values and political thought. He has frequently clashed with Prime Minister Rémy Corentin and other members of the Socialist Party, leading to some concern that he may abuse the powers which are allotted to the monarchy under the current constitution. The new King Louis has given weight to these concerns by pledging a new course for the nation, and promising that he will take an active role in the governance of his people.

OPPOSITION CALLS FOR NEW REFORM IN DAUPHINE. Grenoble, Dauphine. Despite reforms made in various states which have followed the fall of the Franco-Burgundian Confederation, the monarch of Dauphine has not been as affected as his fellows. King Humbert V has managed to preserve substantial powers over the legislature, among appointing people to the seats of Parliament, as well as having complete control of the nation's armed forces. It is these laws that the Grand Liberal Party has emerged to dispute and combat. While not having any substantial holding in the nation's Parliament with which to enact new laws, the Grand Liberal Party has taken its fight to the press. They have denounced the monarch as a tyrant in waiting, able to take away the liberties of the people at a whim or slightest excuse. The government of Prime Minister Roch Forestier has denied this claims, stating that the power in Dauphine rests surely in the hands of elected officials. It seems that much of the Grand Liberal posturing is nothing more than a way of making policy known for the planned elections in 1930.

UNIONS MOBILIZE IN NORMANDY. Caen, Normandy. The collapse of the Franco-Burgundian Confederation has led to a growing number of labor disputes and disagreements in the nation of Normandy. The local factory and shipyard workers have faced deteriorating working conditions and frozen pay, as the national economy shrinks, despite global growth. They have attributed these failings to corporate sloth and greed, and have called for immediate pay raises, and improved working conditions across the board. Conservatives and businessmen have responded to these claims by stating that the locally bad economic situation has made the situation difficult for all involved, and that further reform can only lead to further recession of the national economy. The unions have begun to mobilize threatening a strike should legal reform to curb corporate greed not be enacted, though some believe these threats could be an elaborate bluff on the part of the leftists in the government and society.

GREEK MOVEMENT GAINS STRENGTH IN ROMAN EMPIRE. Athens, Roman Empire. As the armed forces of the Roman Empire have become stretched increasingly thin across their holdings in the Middle East and Europe, the anti-Roman Greek nationalist group seems to be growing in strength. It has been reported and noticed that throughout the cities of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, numerous posters and even radio stations have begun calling for the rise of a new force to oust the outdated ideals of the Roman Empire and create a new Greek identity. It is claimed that a substantial militia force has been growing, resisting the control of Constantinople, and threatening to rise up against the dominance of the vestige of the Roman Empire. They have been called the Vox Populi, a name given to them by the Imperator's bureaucracy, and taken up by the rebel movement out of spite. According to foreign observers, military forces in Athens seem unwilling or unable to crack down on the new group, bringing speculation that elements of the army could even been in favor of a Greek nationalist identity. (-1 Stability)

CURFEW ENACTED IN POLAND. Warsaw, Russia. As recent acts of disobedience and unrest have been on the rise in Poland, the Russian authorities have immediately acted in response. They have declared a nightly curfew over Poland, and have dramatically escalated the size and scale of their military security forces in the region. Substantial new forces have been brought into the area, as modern weapons and well trained soldiers have been provided to prevent any overt unrest or uprising. The efforts have seemed mostly successful, and the region has apparently calmed, as the Russians have moved against any possibility of unrest, making discreet movement nearly impossible in the largest Polish cities. There have also been an increased number of arrests by local police forces, as they have alleged that continued republican dissidence will not be tolerated against the rightful rule of the Russian monarchy.

CONSCRIPTION RIOT IN CAGLIARI. Cagliari, Sardinia. The aftermath of the Rhine-Rhone War continue to be harshly felt in the island nation of Sardinia, and the country's resources are obviously strained. Though the Sardinian navy continues to be an impressive power in the western Mediterranean Sea, the army has been suffering from a lack of volunteers and supporters. The current military has required over half of the eligible population to be serving at any given time, putting immense strain on the nation's manpower. In recent years the government has been forced to escalate conscription, as desertions have been at an all-time high. Unfortunately the new harsh methods of conscription led to rioting in the nation's capital as would-be recruits resisted military membership. These recruits overwhelmed local authorities, and the army was deployed, adding more flames to the fire. Eventually the riot petered out, as many went home to sleep, but the aftermath was devastating, causing a substantial amount of property damage. Numerous arrests were made in the weeks following, though Prime Minister Luca Nalli has pledged to review current conscription standards and the military's needs.

ATTACKS SWEEP ACROSS SCANDINAVIA. Helsinki, Scandinavia. While nationalists groups have existed upon the fringes of Scandinavian society ever since the Swedes led the unification of the region, they have remained a fairly passive group. All that changed this year with a series of devastating and rousing attacks by the nationalists upon the policies and forces of the proletarist government. In both Norway and Finland, these movements, using newly acquired arms and equipment, attacked government controlled facilities in what many believe was a well coordinated offensive. Numerous military outposts were razed, arsenals were raided, and broadcasts were sabotaged, as the rebels announced themselves to Scandinavia in the world. They have apparently vowed to fight for the end of the "tyranny" of Stockholm, whether imperial or proletarist, giving voice to those who resist the government in Scandinavia. To the astonishment of many, these attacks have proven successful far beyond even the planners' dreams, as virtually every raid and effort they made has gone off without a hitch. They have managed to badly damage the Scandinavian military, while building up support among their local populations seeking to fight the dominion of Stockholm.

HUNGARY ACCUSES GERMANY OF FOSTERING DISSENT. Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian government announced implications of recent police investigations throughout Budapest and the surrounding areas. They have stated that it has become clear that the German government has sought to undermine the rule of the monarchy in Hungary to justify their own brash republican ideals. Some elements of the Hungarian regime have even alleged that the Germans may have supported the proletarists in the civil war. Hungarian newspapers have also begun listing the numerous crimes of the German government towards the Hungarian people, putting immense pressure upon the monarchy. These sources have stated that the Germans are propping up an illegitimate king in Croatia, while being allied to the proletarists who nearly destroyed the Hungarian nation. At the time, the king has stated that he is looking to review the official alliance with Germany, and that while he has not yet decided to cancel the nature of this arrangement, he will take all such matters into concern and determine whether or not the interests of Germany align with those of the Hungarian people.

ORLEANS RESOLVES STRIKE. Orleans, Orleans. After the launch of a strike last year by the National Railway Workers' Union, the economy of Orleans was brought to a virtual standstill. Faced with possible economic failures and the loss of control of the government, President Ethan Mathieu and the National Conservative Party have been forced to make a number of major concessions to the unions. First and foremost among these has been the recognition of unions as legitimate negotiating and political bodies, assuming they register with the government. New laws have been passed by the president further enforcing new minimum wages, working conditions, and hours for the Orleans' working class, dramatically improving their quality of life. The unions have had to make some concessions of their own, promising to use strikes as only a last resort, and focusing on negotiation and arbitration for future conflicts. Despite the betrayal of his own ideologies, President Mathieu has managed to play the situation to his party's benefit. Claiming that this was the only course to preserve the economy, he has managed to retain the support of business and the old guard, while presenting himself as an ambitious reformer to the masses. This seems to be a strong move for the conservatives, promising greater stability and support for the reigning government. (+1 Stability)

PAPACY OPENS NEW DOOR TO ROME. Rome, Papal States. The Papacy has provided funds and completed construction upon a modern new access to the center of the Catholic faith and Christian religion. The construction of an airfield on the outskirts of Rome itself has been completed by Christmas of this 1929. The airfield is open not just for military purposes, but also commercial flights from other nations. Previously, any air travel to the Papal States was impossible, with no local airstrips in the nation. Travelers were typically forced to go to Cagliari or Naples, and travel overland or by boat from their initial destination. The new airstrip is expected to assume normal operations as of the beginning of 1930, promising more open and ready access to Rome for the faithful of Catholicism.

FRENCH TRAVEL TREATY SIGNED. Toulouse, Occitania. A number of former Confederate states have signed onto a new travel and trade treaty with Occitania. The new terms allow for free passage and market conditions between the states of the former Confederation, with the exception of Switzerland. The new treaty has been signed to help build political and economic bonds between the varied republics and monarchies of the region, though there have been two notable exceptions to the new agreement. Both Normandy and Brittany have stayed out of the negotiations, while Dauphine has entered somewhat reluctantly. In order to encourage late membership and signing of the agreement, a clause was added to allow some flexibility for governments to respond to migrations and changes in the political environment. Representatives of the Occitanian government have claimed that this is a strong step forward for the French people, seeking to establish a new identity in the wake of the Rhine-Rhone War.

DENMARK BEGINS BORDER CRACKDOWN. Copenhagen, Denmark. Denmark has put its relationship with Scandinavian even further to the test this year, as they launched a major crackdown both within and without their borders. Initially announced to be performed to catch violators of the embargo against Brazil, it has since been confirmed that the efforts are to halt the infiltration of Denmark by proletarist spies and provocateurs, though this has been officially denied by the Danish government. Tighter border controls have been established with Germany, though the relationship along the border has remained somewhat cordial. In the Baltic Sea though, the situation has quickly escalated between Scandinavia and Denmark. The Danes have searched and seized Scandinavian ships, often arresting entire crews, due to their involvement in the Scandinavian proletarist regime. The Danish navy has enforced the effort, boarding Scandinavian flagged ships, though they have allowed all others to pass by unmolested. The situation escalated to a new level when two merchant ships simply taking a local route from one Scandinavian port to another refused to allow Danish boarders, maintaining speed. In response, the Danes used the heavy cannon known as "Fat Wulda" to fire upon the vessels. With a single shell per ship, the vessels were destroyed and all crewmembers were lost. The Scandinavians were outraged and announced that retribution would be imminent. In response they launched a massive airborne attack upon the cannon at its base on the coast near Copenhagen. Left arrogantly out in the open, the Danes responded with what aircraft they could and a raging air battle took place over the Skagerrak. The Danes were badly mauled, and the cannon was destroyed by the Scandinavian aircraft's repeated attacks, when the local ammunition dump exploded. Miraculously through the whole affair less than thirty people were killed, most among the pilots of the fight above the sea. Tensions have remained high between the two, but there have been no signs of further escalation, though the Danes have not stopped their search policies.

HALL OF NATIONS SCRAPPED IN FLANDERS. Brussels, Flanders. Since the unification of Flanders and the Netherlands, the Hall of Nations has stood a half-completed dormant building, playing host to no one. The defunct Council of European Nations was to be hosted there, and the new Flemish government has announced the end of all construction. The structure has been torn down and Stadtholder Aart Gelens has proclaimed that the destruction of the project shows the failure of the European diplomatic effort. The statement has declared that with the end of construction officially comes the end of the Council. This has shown the reality of politics in Europe, as Flanders looks to regain a new role in the affairs of both the continent and the larger world. According to reports, a drunken Vinlandic ambassador was removed from the half completed building before destruction, having frequented the half-built bar. He was described as "intoxicated but very dapper."
 
News from the Americas​

PADA LOSES MORE MEMBERS. Santo Domingo, Hispaniola. The withdrawal of Brazil, one of the primary members of the Pan-American Democratic Accord, has shaken that organization substantially, and it seems that yet another nation has abandoned it. After both Puerto Rico and Brazil withdrew, political elements within Hispaniola have been advocating their own withdrawal, stating the weakness, unreliability, and inconsistency of PADA and the remaining member states. The new president, Ruben del Salvador has held his campaign promise high, and with the ratification of the legislature, Hispaniola has ended its membership in PADA. The growing perceived international weakness of PADA has begun to be felt among other member states, as nations in both South and Central America question the validity and value of their continued involvement. Various political movements in Paraguay, Nicaragua, and Ecuador seem to be arguing for greater distance between their nations and what many feel is a failing organization. In Nicaragua, with the recent takeover of the government, the new religious regime there has also spearheaded that country's withdrawal from PADA.

ELECTIONS IN ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires, Argentina. The recent global economic surge has proven a boon for the National Conservative Party of Argentina. Previously faced with new challenges from liberals and other groups, the National Conservatives have managed to securely triumph in this year's elections. President Arthur Harkness and the rest of his party campaigned upon the promise of continued economic prosperity and development, providing the whole of the nation with increased wealth and growth. The recent handling of the Thacker crisis with Chile, and the aloof approach to moralism has further won over the support of many who would identify themselves typically as moderates. It was a resounding message, particularly after the violence which took place this year. This method has helped secure not only a reelection for President Harkness, but also the reelection of many representatives of the National Conservative Party in the nation's Congress. Observers see this as more or less an endorsement of the status quo and have noted that while the National Conservatives have won overall, they have not gained much more ground than they already possessed the year before.

ELECTIONS HELD IN ECUADOR. Quito, Ecuador. The elections in Ecuador turned out to be quite different than some expected, as in a surprising move, Prime Minister Mario del Santos legalized several allegedly extremist political parties, including the social proletarists. Though proletarists of all stripes have been illegal since the establishment of a new constitution in 1918, the social proletarists have been viewed as harmless enough to the current regime. The legislation has also legalized groups such as the moralists and various militarist groups. It is believed that this reform has been a move not only mimicking that of Peru but also to mitigate the campaign strategy of the conservatives, who have begun advocating a more independent economic and political course for Ecuador. Unfortunately, this has not proven effective as the liberal National Social Party has lost favor with the masses. Pledging a new series of policies, the conservative Party of Order has triumphed, promising a stronger military, and a revising of the economic terms of the treaties signed with Peru and Colombia. To lead the new government they have appointed the outspoken leader of the "independence" movement, Evaristo Cardona, highly popular and charismatic leader for the masses. (+1 Stability)

ELECTIONS IN PARAGUAY. Asunción, Paraguay. Elections held in the South American nation of Paraguay proved to be a tamer affair than expected this year. Recent international and domestic pressure have caused the Catholic Conservative Party to provide a greater challenge to the traditional champion of conservatives, the National Order Party. Calling for improved ties with moralist movements across the continent, the Catholic Conservative Party is the one most supported by the Catholic Church and the Papacy. Unfortunately for the religious cause, the support has not proven enough to overturn the current government. The soaring economy of both Paraguay and the larger world have helped consolidate the power of the National Order Party, presenting them with firm political stability at home. This has led to opposition parties reducing much of their efforts, and focusing on localized elections rather than the national ones. The policy easily supported the electoral triumph of President Jorge Marcos, and the National Order Party has continued to preserve majority control, despite some modest losses in various smaller local elections to leftist and moralist movements.

PERUVIAN ELECTIONS HELD. Lima, Peru. A rising economy and stable sphere has not been enough to preserve the leadership of the current Liberal Party leading the nation of Peru. The elections proved to be heavily divisive for the liberals, as the government passed legislation legalizing social proletarist parties for the first time in the nation's history. Attempted as a way to play to the liberal base, the move instead tore the party apart, as social proletarists abandoned their support for the Liberal Party, and ending efforts to reconciliation. With the liberals seen as a basket case cause, the Conservative Party has managed to make inroads, securing a solid majority in the nation's Senate, along with a variety of smaller conservative political groups. The victory was many attributed to the division of the liberals, but has also been granted towards conservative promises of strength against the threat of extremist ideals and principles. Lima aristocrat, Fabricio Tendor has been appointed the new President of Peru, and it seems likely that he will stay true to his conservative base and provide security for the South American nation.

ELECTIONS IN VENEZUELA. Caracas, Venezuela. The most heated debates in Venezuelan politics this year have been about the nation's involvement in the Pan-American Democratic Accord and the role of religion in government. The growth of the Catholic Moralism Party has been extensive over the past four years, as religious fervor arises throughout the nation. Anti-liquor and other moral movements have gained substantial traction among the masses, seeking to avert lives of excess and depravity. PADA similarly has fallen into disrepute among this group, as it has been attributed as a league of devils, and corrupt Protestants rather than looking towards the needs of the True Faith. Though their numbers were believed to be few, the Catholic Moralism Party managed to galvanize the masses, and bring to bear surprising political strength. With no true conservative party remaining, the Venezuelan conservatives have turned towards moralism instead. This has turned into a surprisingly large turnout for the religious party, leading to the fall of the liberal government. Both the legislature and presidency have fallen to the Catholic Moralism Party as contender Felix de Puga has managed to oust President Luis Pisani. The liberals have expressed concern that this could mean the end of the current democracy, which was hard fought for after Trujillo's death in 1921. Still, the masses seem to be backing the new government, and its moves ahead are so far unclear. (+1 Stability)

SECTARIAN VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires, Argentina. The recent Thacker Crisis has been a substantial foreign debacle in the southernmost parts of South America, but it has begun to have ramifications domestically for Argentina too. There has been some resistance even at home among Catholics towards the efforts of Protestant missionaries towards moralism, and this has turned to violence. Catholic militia groups have struck against the more evangelical churches throughout Argentina, through use of firebombs and random gunfire into congregations. More than a dozen such incidents took place within the first few months of the year alone. Protestant congregations soon took up arms of their own, and wound up engaged in multiple gun battles against with Catholic militias, causing extensive damage throughout the smaller towns and villages of Argentina. Eventually the government stepped in, ultimately resulting in the deaths of several prominent members of the Catholic clergy. Local authorities have reported that a number of Catholic priests sponsored and supported the initial attacks which began the violence. When raids were launched to confiscate the arms of the militias, it was reported that the priests actually took up arms against the authorities, firing upon them. Their deaths have led to the rapid soothing of some tensions and an immediate end to the violence, though simmering resentment and protests have remained at the handling of the affairs.

PETROLEUM WORKERS ORGANIZE IN AZTLAN. Oaxaca, Aztlan. The Aztec oil industry has faced a rising new group of organized labor in their nation, which has begun to mobilize due to growing Floridian and American involvement in the local petroleum industry. The new Body of Aztec Oil Field and Refinery Workers have begun to recruit from workers throughout the nation, seeking out potential for new growth against corporate corruption. As the main platforms of their base, they have begun to call for nationalization of the oil fields, and a closeout of American and Floridian companies. They have also lobbied for better working conditions, particularly in the wake of the oil fires not long ago. The union is still in birthing stages, and have begun to search out new members, though some of the more established local companies have stated that their own workers' union membership is not nearly as large as those owned by foreign corporations.

LEADER OF COSTA RICA STRIKES RIVALS. San Jose, Costa Rica. The reign of General Lopez de Luz has always been fairly tenuous and uncertain, and this year it appeared that at last he may have faced a final threat. Rumors were growing about further discontent in the officer corps which threatened to bring an end to his government. It was believed that rebellious forces would soon oust the general from power for their own malevolent aims. The general, however, caught wind of these plots and struck first. Taking the offensive to destroy multiple rivals, as well as to crack down on grass roots rebellious movements, the general has won a major victory. His triumph has come with the crushing of most of those who would oppose his reign, bringing new stability and strength to Costa Rica for the first time in decades. The general has pledged that this is the first step to the revitalization of the local economy and the rebirth of Costa Rica as an independent and prosperous nation. (+1 Stability)

MILITARY AND EXECUTIVE SEIZE POWER IN NICARAGUA. Managua, Nicaragua. After last year's highly disruptive and contentious elections, there has been a political standstill amongst government officials in the Central American nation of Nicaragua. The liberal Democratic Society Party, which had achieved a majority in the nation's Congress has refused any substantial cooperation with moralist President Hugo Urbina. President Urbina enjoys the significant support of the military and the masses, calling for reform similar to that being undertaken in Chile and Uruguay. The Democratic Society has opposed much of this on ideological grounds and thus has done their best to stand in the way. This year, the military, acting of its own accord, responded to these pressures from the liberals by acting with the support of the President. The Congress has been disbanded and a number of key spokesmen for the Democratic Society Party have been arrested by the government. The army has declared temporary martial law, though it was lifted by the end of the year. President Urbina continues to act as the head of state, pledging a purer nation under God, protected by faith and a strong executive and military branch of government. So far he has retained his popularity among the masses, and with the support of the army, it seems that most threats against the Urbina regime are nonexistent internally, allowing for consolidated control in Nicaragua.

HOSTILITY TOWARDS PROTESTANTS MANIFESTS IN PARAGUAY. Pilar, Paraguay. Despite the successes of more secular political groups in this year's elections in Paraguay, there has been a notable rise in disdain and contempt for Protestant sects. Though the moralists have gained some minor ground in Paraguay's Congress, they have been far more successful in grass roots intervention, fighting against the "corruption of the Protestant scourge of Argentina." Railing against modern films and music emanating with consistent frequency from the country to the south, the moralists have pledged to fight against decadence and decay, advocating a simpler life. They have gained substantial support on a grass roots level but have avoided much public attention until this year. Their discontent has turned into a series of violent acts, including riotous protests in front of theaters showing Argentine films, attacks on Protestant preachers, and intimidation tactics against non-Catholic voters. The matter has caused some concern among law enforcement authorities, but the Paraguayan government has so far refused to take any official stance on the matter.

DESERTIONS ON THE RISE IN PERU. Lima, Peru. Military and government officials have begun to announce something of considerable concern to the nation as revealed this year. Recruitment has dropped to a record low, and the nation's armed services have faced a severe dearth of volunteers and conscripts to serve. With the increase in local prosperity and growth, the army is no longer the assured meal ticket to wealth and fame that it used to be. With a considerable amount of new jobs and positions available to the working man, people are seeking early exit from the military to take employment in civilian life. Combined with allegedly worse treatment for new recruits in a proportionately large military, the Peruvian armed forces have found that many regiments are severely understrength. The army has continued to promise harsh punishment for these deserters, but it has proven difficult to track down these departed individuals. (-4 Infantry Brigades)

VALHALLA MOVEMENT CAUSES CONCERN IN VINLAND. Nya Stockholm, Vinland. Politicians in Nya Stockholm have begun to receive reports of an underground sporting event called the "Ring of Valhalla." It has been alleged that these groups have been sponsoring literal fights to the death among participants in bloody gladiatorial style fights. Local law enforcement authorities have stated that the rings are popular among the wealthy, and this year within Nya Stockholm itself, police broke up a ring which was implicated in kidnapping homeless migrants. According to an expose by a local newspaper, the wealthy and young have been pitting these poor souls in fights to the death and keeping them imprisoned the rest of the time. Local religious leaders have decried these activities as a sign of decadence of the current regime, and authorities have been notified through interrogation that other such rings could exist throughout the other cities of the nation.

THACKER CRISIS RESOLVED IN CHILE. Santiago, Chile. Last year the arrest of notable Protestant minister, Lynton Thacker, caused immediate and virulent tensions to mount between Chile and Argentina. The Chilean government was eager to try him for crimes against the regime, having accused him of undermining the policies of the current moralist president. Argentina protested extensively, and garnered substantial foreign support for their cause, and Chile was forced to free the minister and allow him to return home. Chile refused to completely concede the issue, confiscating the assets of Thacker's mission in the south, and sending home his staff under armed guard. Argentina further protested these measures, claiming that this is demonstration that Chile does not respect private property or rights. Chile pushed forward anyways, and relations are at an all-time low between the two powers. This was exacerbated as Minister Thacker has once more begun causing trouble, broadcasting by radio from a station in Patagonia, preaching against the Chilean regime. Santiago has issued a token protest, but it seems that they do not wish to escalate the matter any further.

COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA SIGN NEW TREATIES. Bogota, Colombia. This year the governments of Colombia and Venezuela have signed two highly controversial treaties, the first establishing the fledgling Bolivar Economic Zone. The Bolivar Economic Zone is designed to improve and expand local oil flow and production, while reducing tariffs and assisting with the construction of infrastructure. Ecuador has been invited to join, but the current government there appears less than eager to engage in further economic agreements with Colombia. The second of the two treaties is the Treaty of Friendship between Colombia and Venezuela, which establishes a defensive pact between the two nations, also allowing for cooperative training efforts and several other arrangements. Opposition forces in Venezuela have been outraged by this agreement, and have decried the regime of President Felix de Puga for this first, highly controversial act of his regime. Liberals and moderates alike have stated that this action exposes the vulnerability of Venezuela to its greatest enemy, the hated Colombians. Even among the Moralists, most are less than pleased that Venezuela is now allied with the nation that most Venezuelans despise the most. This could bode poorly for future elections with the moralists in Venezuela. There has been a somewhat similar reaction in Colombia as well, though significantly less virulent. The opposition in Colombia has pointed out that this new agreement effectively recognizes the Venezuelan occupation of the province of Santa Marta, which has always been opposed by all prior Colombian regimes.

FLORIDA ENACTS AMBITIOUS NEW PROGRAMS. Dallas, Florida. The government of President Lockwood and the United Front in Florida have begin immediately pushing forward a number of promising new programs with their new mandate from the masses. They have pledged that a new era is at hand to live up to the true promises of the old American Republic and ideals. These programs have been pushed forward against conservative opposition in Congress, as the United Front holds a clear majority. The first and largest of these efforts is the New Republican Order, which has begun establishing stronger links between the government and the economy. They have stated that the goal is to ensure that the best and brightest will always govern the national wealth. Government funds have provided support to enterprising young businesses, accelerating their development. As a move to those outside industry, the Rural Action Plan is dedicated towards provided vital infrastructure and development to areas outside of urban centers. Lastly, the New Patriots Program has been dedicated towards revising curriculums and developing a new educational program for Florida's institutes of higher learning. While the programs have all been brought legally through Congress, there has been immense criticism of the high yearly expense of the efforts, decrying the corruption and kickbacks which seem to be integral to the implementation of the plans. President Lockwood has assured reporters that the efforts are for the betterment of the nation as a whole.

BRAZIL BEGINS NEW HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. First Minister Souza announced this year an ambitious new project to bring new safety to the Brazilian people. The construction of a large highway along the Brazilian coast has been dedicated to helping allow the Brazilian military to have a rapid and mobile response to any attack. With the recent embargo from Europe and the turmoil throughout Africa and North America, it seems that a hostile world exists. The government has stated that the new roads will allow the military of Brazil to respond with the greatest haste against any and all possible threats. There is also likely to be a marginal economic benefit, as the construction of the new roads provides chances for new labor, plus it could allow greater speeds and usage of automobiles for personal travel from city to city.

SCHISM IN ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Catholic Church in Argentina suffered a major blow this year, as they found a local movement which spurred a schism within the clergy and congregation. A number of lower level priests have begun to state that the current involvement of the papacy in a large number of secular affairs has diminished the perceived papal infallibility. They have begun to reject this notion, and in a major conference on the affairs of the Church of Argentina, have rejected the idea of meddling in Argentine politics. Most of the opposition has been from the younger members of the clergy, seeking to remove corruption from the church and focus on religious affairs. They have refused to recognize the current papacy, and have split into the Old Church of Argentina. A portion of the congregation has departed with them, and local legal disputes have erupted on the ownership of various churches, as the separated clergy claim the old Catholic territories should belong to their congregation. The Papacy has appointed new clergy to replace them, and has stated that services will continue regardless of the opinion of a few dissidents.

COLOMBIA BEGINS WORK ON NEW CITY. Bolivar, Colombia. In the territories of northern Colombia, predominantly those formerly controlled by the United States of America, the infrastructure of the region has been neglected beyond the vital canal. The Colombian government now seeks to change all that as they begin construction of the new city of Bolivar, part of the larger economic agreement with Venezuela. The construction of the new city is to be planned on a grid layout, seeking to create a modern metropolis prepared for automobiles and to host a large amount of modern industrial complexes. They have also begun construction of numerous oil refineries and other structures, but business seems hesitant to move from their current locations. Surprisingly, the economic group apparently most interested in the new construction is the fledging cinematic groups in Colombia, seeking a new place to film free of existing city regulations. While heavy industry seems unwilling to commit the funds to build extensive new plants in an untested area, the film industry is obviously more than happy to oblige the government.

REFORM PASSED BY JACKSONIAN PUBLIC. Jefferson, Jacksonia. President Tuff of Jacksonia and several cooperating members of Congress proposed new legislation this year, presented to the people of the nation. As a constitutional reform, the new laws revolve around the participation within government and the legislative process. The laws proposed would place a one-term limit on presidents and a three-term limit for all legislators. The legislation also includes radical tolerance for all races and cultures, a move unthinkable to other Americans in the United States and Jacksonia. Many view this as the natural progression of the Jacksonian republic, taking steps in the true direction of the founders of the American Republic. Lastly, the new laws forbid the taking of any funds to influence legislative voting in order to prevent corruption of the political process. Surprisingly, the legislation has found plenty of support among Congress, gaining support both there and amid the public plebiscite. The laws were quickly passed, and President Tuff congratulated the Jacksonian public and Congress on taking a strong step towards a true democracy of the people.

CUBAN CIVIL WAR COMES TO ABRUPT END. Havana, Cuba. The fighting in Cuba escalated rapidly this year as the republican government struggled to restore their power and influence over the rest of the island. Aware that they were woefully outgunned on the land, but equipped with support from the Pan-American Democratic Accord, including new tanks and a naval blockade, they were forced to a realization. The militarists possessed substantially more weapons and resources than the republicans, meaning that an offensive had to be launched before they became too outnumbered to survive the onslaught. The republican offensive started well, but slowly bogged down, despite being backed up by Vinlander aircraft. Heavy casualties were suffered as they pushed east until eventually the attack came to a close. The Cuban aircraft devastated the older Vinlander blames, outflying them to every degree, and eventually turning their own bombs upon the enemy ground forces. With the defeat of their push, the militarists attacked themselves, routing the Cuban republican forces, and smashing through the center of their lines. The rout was lethal, leaving Havana essentially undefended as the military's forces pushed west. With the city about to fall, the republican government vowed a last stand, as their families and other refugees began to flee. Sailors were impressed into ground combat, as a last ditch defense of Havana attempted to hold makeshift lines. They proved little more than fodder for the militarist's forces, who quickly broke through. With the collapse of the defenses, the army seized the city, and those of the republican government were arrested, as most naval vessels were scuttled in the harbor by their crews to prevent capture. President Garcia has issued an immediate amnesty for all those who fought for the republican government, allowing them to return home without harassment. He has stated that the opponents of true freedom in Cuba have been defeated, allowing for the return of proper governance.
Casualty Lists
Cuba (Militarist): 7 Conscript Brigades, 3 Infantry Brigades, 1 Cavalry Brigade, 1 Artillery Brigade, 2 Sim27 Fighter Squadrons (+1 Army Quality, +1 Air Force Quality)
Cuba (Republican): 9 Conscript Brigades, 4 Infantry Brigades, 2 Cavalry Brigades, 1 Lejon-Modell Armored Brigade, 3 Artillery Brigades, 9 Trovão-class Destroyers, 1 Lioness-class Battlecruiser, 1 A-170 Fighter Squadron, 1 Sim27 Fighter Squadron
Vinland: 2 F-25 Fighter Squadrons, 2 P-16 Fighter Squadrons (+1 Air Force Quality)

UPRA COMPLETES AUTHORITY PROGRAM. Chattanooga, United Proletarist Republics of America. Chief Deputy Scipio of the United Proletarist Republics of America announced this year the successful and triumphant completion of the Mississippi Valley Reclamation Authority. The project began as an idealized program to harness the natural energy of the UPRA's many rivers throughout the north and west. It was expanded to include a number of efforts to increase local production and infrastructure, helping the people of the UPRA regroup from the devastation that was the wars of the American Crisis. The program was at last completed this year, and has been stated to achieved all of its numerous goals, despite being slightly reduced in scope due to agreements made with Florida over the Mississippi River. The Council of Deputies has declared that this is the largest step the nation has taken to establishing a self-sufficient workers' state and making it defensible against any threat.

COLORADO RIVER DISPUTE. Boulder City, Jacksonia. The Colorado River, marking the border of Florida and Jacksonia, was in dispute this year as elements of both nations make claims to various outlets and water production. With rainfall at a low for the past two years, the Colorado River has become essential for farmers in the southern counties of Jacksonia. The Floridians too have laid claim to the water for their own farming and irrigation, causing shortages and disputes. This scenario repeated itself up and down the river's banks, as neither side managed to reach localized agreements on water distribution. Failure of negotiations resulted in the outbreak of local violence between militias from both nations. The Jacksonian Bear Valley Militia engaged in combat with the South Colorado Farmer's Militia from Florida starting on the fifteenth and concluding upon the eighteenth. Dozens were killed or wounded on both sides, resulting in the intervention of the Floridian military, which was accused of crossing over the Colorado River to end the fighting. The situation continued to escalate until both governments took efforts to help the parties stand down. Representatives from Vinland were sent to help mediate a peace agreement, and a solid treaty was proposed and accepted. Florida accepted a long-term solution of a 25/75 split on water resources, and will civilly prosecute those responsible for the incursion. PADA officers will assess the damage dealt, and Florida pledged to remunerate the citizens of Jacksonia who have suffered losses due to the military incursion. Obviously, this treaty turned out to be highly unpopular back in Florida, as more farmers in Florida depended upon the resources of the Colorado than in Jacksonia. This has increased bitterness towards PADA and Vinland, as the nation looks to blame others for the failure of the government to protect their interests.
 
News from Africa and the Middle East​

NEW CONSTITUTION IN ZAMBIA. Lusaka, Zambia. Isolated from any British or South African assaults this year, thanks to the merit of distance from any coastline or British dominion, the fledgling nation of Zambia has organized a constitution for running its government. Ordered by the university elites who currently control the nation, the focus has been upon establishing an enlightened democracy and structure modeled on the most successful Western republics. With elections to be held every six years, the first are scheduled to take place next year, as the nation continues to steel itself against the possibility of British invasion. They have continued to entrench and recruit new soldiers in preparation for such a defense, pledging that the new republic in southern Africa will not be denied by British imperialism and aggression. Prime Minister Henry Afolayan has issued statements to the British, calling for a just recognition of Zambia's independence before more lives are lost in a futile struggle.

LIBYA HOLDS VOTE ON CONSTITUTION. Tripoli, Libya. The government of Libya faced a difficult internal struggle this year, as the interim leader, Rabi Karimi, has been challenged by the reluctance of the rest of the regime to embrace the Western ideals he espouses. During the periods of Spanish and Italian rule, most resistance against colonial tyranny was led by Islamic religious leaders rather than secular intellectuals like Karimi. Though the compromise ultimately led to the current leader taking his position, it seems that this was to be short lived. Aware of the difficulty his government faced, Karimi took his plans to the people, pledging a Western liberal state, fueled with Arabic national ambitions. The populace was given the right to vote on these policies, and they were rejected by popular mandate, spearheaded by the Islamic clergy. Rising to the forefront was the cleric Bulus Ajam, a charismatic war hero who led fights both against the Spaniards and Italians. By further democratic processes, he was able to oust Karimi, and has proclaimed the start of a nation governed by the will of Allah, and has been declared the Grand Imam of Libya. The bureaucracy of government has begun to be structured by religious authorities, and so far the path seems clear for the establishment of a properly Islamic state in North Africa.

ANGOLA COMPLETES TRANSPORT CONSTRUCTION. Namibe, Angola. Despite nearly a decade of setbacks, the Angolan government was pleased to announce the completion of their planned transportation upgrade. This has included the development of new roads, railroads, and even public transportation networks within Namibe itself. The project began ambitiously with providing it to the whole of the Brazilian dominion, but the outbreak of open revolt and the independence of Ovamboland and Chokweland led to a dramatic scaling back of the scope of the program. The reduced costs have allowed the current completion of the project, which has been heralded as a success by the current ruler of the nation, Teodoro Gallego. He has stated that this shows the government's commitment to the people and their pledge to help restore prosperity to Angola, despite the best efforts of foreign imperialists.

FIRST ELECTIONS IN EGYPT. Cairo, Egypt. The fragile coalition in Egypt which led the nation's independence has quickly crumbled as the country's first elections approached this year. Jamil El-Moft, despite his heart-felt appeals to maintain a moderate and pro-Arab base, found himself to be preaching to the air as the Independence Coalition fell apart. The two main political groups remaining have been noted as the conservative Coalition of Egypt has sparred off against the liberal People's Democratic Coalition. The primary speaker for the liberals, Fadl Fakhri Ahmed, has been largely given the attribute of the true fighter for Egyptian independence, while El-Moft has been derided as a pawn and force sponsored by Sudan. Ahmed has been known as an independence fighter as far back as the rebellions against Spain, even having spent time in Dumyat against the British. His reputation and his platform of working towards a better life for all Egyptians has proven to win the day, as the People's Democratic Coalition gained the majority and appointed him the first Prime Minister of Egypt. Prime Minister Ahmed has promised neutrality and a new life for Egypt, free of the threat of imperial rule and domination. (+1 Stability)

SCANDINAVIAN EMPEROR DIES. Haraldsholm, Kongo. To the dismay of the aristocratic leadership of the remnants of Imperial Scandinavia, the eighteen-year-old Emperor Harald III Gyllensvärd died of dysentery. The disease was believed to be related to his times spent visiting towns and settlements throughout Kongo's interior, as well as to the frequent outbreaks known in the slums of Haraldsholm. With no other living siblings, the throne has passed to his uncle, youngest brother of the late Emperors Harald II and Christian. The new Emperor Conrad has ascended to the throne at a fairly advanced age, but at least is secure in his heirs, unlike the recently passed ruler. The new Emperor is known to be more moderate than his predecessors, though not as liberal as his niece Christina who refused the crown in 1921. Still, the Riksdag appears optimistic about further cooperation with the new monarch, as opposed to those backing the regency of the passed emperor.

ELECTIONS IN ORANJIEN. Christiansburg, Oranjien. Elections in Oranjien were predicted to be one of the more boring electoral contests this year globally, as the regime of the National Conservative Party appeared quite secure. The National Conservatives have appealed to virtually all factions through the merits of both bringing the nation further away from Argentine dominion, while at the same time spurring a greater economy. Combined with the able handling of any threat from Chokweland to the north, and the government of Oranjien has very little with which to criticize it. Therefore, it was not a surprise to anyone at all when the National Conservative Party further cemented its majority, giving it over eighty percent control in the legislature. Meanwhile, Frej Stensen has once more been reelected, granting him yet another mandate as the small nation's president. He has announced, however, that this will be his last term of office, and he intends not to run for reelection again in 1933.

BOMBING IN JERUSALEM. Jerusalem, Papal States. Dozens were killed this year when an explosion damaged the walls of the Church of John the Baptist in Jerusalem during Easter Mass. The Church has become known as a popular location for the bureaucrats of the Papacy in managing their territories in the Holy Land. The explosion was detonated from inside the chapel, and it is believed that the operator died with it, as surviving witnesses reported that he had trouble using the explosive, and may well have set it off by accident. Despite the failings of the operator, the explosion was devastating, killing the local bishop among a larger number of the congregation, including many who play a major part in the management of the Papal colony. The local Arabs have claimed credit for the explosion, stating that it is a sign of resistance against continued oppression of the Arabic people by Christian imperialists.

ISLAMIC UNREST IN CENTRAL AFRICA. Abeche, Spain. The imperial remnants of Spain have had the luxury of being fairly passive even as British and Scandinavian Eastern Africa have been torn asunder. The Spanish have been standing stalwart against the threat of a local uprising against their rule, but now face a significant threat. Inspired by the successes of the Sudanese Sultanate, the northern Muslims of Spanish Central Africa have begun waging a guerilla war upon the Spanish garrisons. Deep within the African interior and far from their bases of supply and support, the Spanish have had difficulties combating the insurgent forces. Led by a number of ambitious leaders the Muslims have had a hard time gaining support among other demographics, and are apparently dedicated to waging the war on their own. They have viciously attacked Spanish and non-European Christians throughout the region, stating their desire for purity over the territory, and the removal of the infidel from their lands. The Spanish have responded by deploying more of the local garrison to the north, but the vast expanse of territory has made it difficult to track or contain these insurgent activities.

NATIONALISTS WAKE IN OMAN. Muscat, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Since the conquest of Arabia from the old empire by the European powers, there has been a considerable amount of residual bitterness among the locals. So far, it has been a low-key minor struggle with not much open resistance or unrest against the British, as the Arabs rally old supplies, but those of the former Arabian Empire were not the first to strike against imperial rule. The first organized unrest against the new British paradigm in the Arabian Peninsula has emerged from the former sultanate of Oman. Seeking to undermine the local monarchy, an Omani paramilitary group has emerged, and begun rallying the population to their aid. They have called for all likeminded Omanis to rise up and take up action against British occupation and dominance. British authorities have remained on alert in the region, but have so far indicated that nothing is too far amiss, as the local governor preserves power and authority.

NEW UPRISING IN MADAGASCAR. Antananarivo, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After several years of subdued behavior and activity, the Malagasy rebellion has begun larger scale activity once more, this time against outposts in the towns and ports. They have focused upon attacking British military bases and patrols with overwhelming numbers and have had some significant successes. It has been noted though that the British have been on high alert and have continued to attack and root out rebel bases and hideaways both in the jungles and in more urban regions. The casualties have begun to mount once more, especially as the rebellion brings about a drain upon the war effort in southern Africa. The conflict has been brutal as the rebels have not let up upon their own propaganda campaign as well as their military efforts. So far though, the British have reportedly managed to contain the unrest, and have stated that it seems that the current status quo will continue rather than an escalation or de-escalation of the bloodshed. (-3 Infantry Brigades)

SPAIN LAUNCHES IMPERIAL SURVEY. Algiers, Spain. Spanish imperial authorities in Africa have begun exploring new efforts to develop the inherent natural resources of Northern and Central Africa. With the larger loss of the empire and the final completion of reconstruction in Spanish Europe, the government is optimistic that efforts could be taken to expand the value of the African empire. Spain's holdings in Africa are considerable, and with the Imperial Reconstruction program, new railroads have been built into the various interiors of the empire. The new project is planned to first survey the imperial regions, announce recommendations for reform and development, and then follow up the program with the construction of new mines, rigs, and plantations to improve production. As a side portion to the program, they have announced the intent to reforming current methods of farming and growth to maximize already extant agricultural facilities where applicable. Some are concerned that reform of the economic system could lead to unrest, as it would involve the Spanish government taking a more active role in the lives of the citizens of the extended empire than they have since the Great War.

SOUTHEAST AFRICAN WARS BEGIN. Cape Town, South Africa. The Union Jacks of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland have at last made their stance clear upon the situation in Southeast Africa. Prime Minister Shaw has stated that no negotiations will be conducted with rebels and that all efforts will be launched to establish proper British rule over the colony. Massive forces were thus assembled in the Dominion of South Africa which has also deployed forces to assist in the push north. The Zulu have vowed to fight for their freedom, as they stand on the front line of the combat in the region. Breaking out every last weapon and arms they could steal, buy, or swindle, the Zulu managed to put an impressive force into the field. This force was ultimately defeated in bloody battle, lacking air support to repel the British bombing assaults. The heaviest fighting this year was in Lusaka, where the urban center and harbor was fortified, and each building became a stronghold. British forces suffered heavy casualties taking it, but did manage to at last secure it. Other fighting took place in the interior, but the Zulu quickly gave up open combat, choosing instead to wage war from countryside redoubts and old forts. With the defeat of the main Zulu army, the British have continued to push north into Mutapa, even with their supply lines and forces under constant attack. Here, the British were badly mauled and their army shattered as they were unable to bring the planes far enough north to support them. They were cut off and destroyed piecemeal, their tanks rendered useless with a lack of fuel. The Mutapans devastated the British forces, throwing them back south into Zulu territory. They have stated that this is only a taste of the fire that will continue to rain down upon any aggressors towards their people. British supply matters have been made worse with the passing of the Homestead Act, which has spread the rebellion to the base of their forces. Heavy fighting is constant, as any and all British outposts are under constant siege or attack by varying rebel forces throughout both South Africa and Zululand.

SUDAN BEGINS RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION. Port Sudan, Sudan. Seeking to help rebuild and expand his nation's economy, the Sultan of Sudan has ordered the construction of a new railway. Designed to complement the existing old Imperial Scandinavian railway networks, the new branch has been built to connect the nation's capital to the new Brazilian base at Port Sudan. The project is likely to be fairly inexpensive as much of the infrastructure already exists from imperial improvements, and the new construction is mostly just an expansion upon the old. Brazilian military authorities are cooperating with the project, helping guide the trains in and survey an acceptable and defensible route. The project will allegedly be complete within four years, and is providing vital work to local laborers as the new rails are laid.

TADJOURA SECURES PEACE. Tadjoura, Tadjoura. The Romans and Russians who now call Tadjoura home have at last been granted some measure of peace in the region. The military victories of last year have been turned into political gain, as they have signed new treaties of peace with their neighbors. Sudan and Adjuuramark have both been granted a peace without any true binding terms or agreements, as their forces recoup from their devastating loss. The Abyssinians on the other hand, have been more severely punished for their attack last year. King Lazar of Tadjoura has stated that the punitive reparations to be gathered from Abyssinia are reflective of their betrayal, of both a friendly recognition they had issued and of Christianity as a whole. The king has stated that never again will Tadjoura be taken unawares, as they will remain ever vigilant against the threat of treacherous activities by their neighbors and that Abyssinia has learned a new lesson about the will of the people of Tadjoura. This treaty has at last brought an end to the conflict in what was eastern Imperial Scandinavia's African holdings. The brutal war which began several years ago has at last been stopped and the eyes of the governments of these new nations are finally able to turn inward.

ARAB PACT ESTABLISHED. Khartoum, Sudan. The past war with Italy and the current ongoing war between the Africans and Britain far to the south have imprinted a fear of imperialism upon the new states of eastern Africa. The Sudanese, Egyptians, and Libyans have worked together to establish a stronger agreement for the protection of their nations. Despite the new regime in Libya being less than enthusiastic about cooperation with Sudan, they have agreed to the necessity of the arrangement. The agreement consists of four primary terms and elements that all three parties have consented to. First is a general defensive pact against European adventurism or assault upon any of the three nations. Second is to investigate and make efforts to expel Europeans from Arabic lands and territories. The last two elements are focusing upon coordinating with militaries and improving related infrastructure throughout the region.

ADJUURAMARK BEGINS WORK ON NEW DAM. Mogadishu, Adjuuramark. Under the super vision of skilled engineers and workers, the government of Adjuuramark has begun rapid construction upon a new hydroelectric dam. The new dam is focused upon providing electricity to the region, much of which lacks this modern new lighting. The efforts upon building the new Great Beledweyne Dam began this year, as substantial national treasure and labor has been dedicated to the task. King Daniel has pledged that the development of the dam will help modernize the nation, and has acquired much support from the local merchants of Mogadishu. They have easily seen the major economic opportunities of the construction, looking to enrich themselves and the nation at the same time. The dam is expected to take five to six years of construction, depending on the level of government commitment and financing.

HOMESTEAD ACT SPREADS WAR TO SOUTH AFRICA. Cape Town, South Africa. The ongoing Zulu and British fighting in southeastern Africa has led to dramatic new changes in the Dominion of South Africa. The British offensive has also included a large number of South African forces, seeking to help restore imperial control and dominance to the area. The South Africans have contributed whole-heartedly but the white regime has great fears about tribes in their own area. With the defeat of the main standing Zulu army, and before the disaster in Mutapa, the South African government passed the Homestead Act, seizing all native lands and preparing them for distribution to white settlers and farmers. Military forces were deployed to enforce the edict, but has found new resistance erupting immediately. With most of South Africa's army in the field further north, a mere nine thousand men were left to attempt to enforce the new law. In most cases they were easily overrun and murdered by the natives, who have since acquired their weapons. With Zulu help in the north, this has turned into an open uprising, as local tribes along the river join the Zulu cause. Throughout the rest of the nation, the rebellion has been in the form of sabotage and attack, as local officials and white settlers are assassinated and murdered by the rebels. The attacks have extended to British supply lines, as the whole of the dominion rises in revolt to various levels.

ABYSSINIA ALLOWS BRAZILIAN AIR FORCES. Mek'ele, Abyssinia. The Abyssinian government welcomed the construction of a Brazilian air force base within their borders, not far from Mek'ele. The new airfield is still under construction, as the Brazilian engineers have found it difficult to acquire all the materials and property they need to succeed in the construction. The Abyssinians have stated that this is a sign of further protection from aggressors, particularly the upstart government in Tadjoura. The Brazilians have stated that this is to honor the inherent alliance between the two powers and to secure economic interests in the region. Some local merchants have expressed concern about the presence of the Brazilians and the possibility of their efforts undermining the economic foundations of the nation. There has been some idle talk that the new airfield could also be used for civilian purposes, allowing the opening of the Abyssinian interior to passenger flights from various South American airlines.

ABYSSINIA BEGINS INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia. While Abyssinia was the agricultural and mineral heart of the Scandinavian empire in Africa, they face severe challenges of infrastructure. Though numerous railroads and mines exist throughout the countryside, many were damaged or destroyed during the recent war. To make matters worse, living standards have always been lousy outside of the larger cities, and most were kept in the dark with poor sanitation. The government has sought to fix these problems with new construction efforts being focused on the more rural areas of Abyssinia. The majority of this has been focused towards construction of new irrigation networks and repairing the damages caused to older ones during the war. This is to help improve agricultural production and bring back some prosperity and semblance of trade to the area.

TANGANYEKEN HOLDS FIRST ELECTIONS. Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyeken. Tanganyeken has declared its constitution this year, while at the same time holding first proper elections for various offices throughout the land. They have established a republic along parliamentary lines, developing a government with a head of state known as the Chancellor. The new reformed regime has been supported by the foreign mercenaries who helped win the nation its independence from Kongo, and they have formed the core of several political movements. This has been along with a number of local Christianized Africans, who make up most of the literate and educated members of the nation. These forces have spearheaded the constitution, looking to modernize Tanganyeken into a civilized Western nation above all else. The elections though have been directed at the widely illiterate masses, and have focused primarily on the issue of giving them a better life. In this, the Grand Liberty Party of Muhsin Hall has proven the most effective. They have promised a large number of new platforms and plans to help give the average native of the lands a shot at a better life. They gained a significant majority, but continue to face strong opposition from splinter proletarist groups and conservatives. Muhsin Hall has been appointed the nation's first chancellor from now until the next elections in 1935.
 
News from the Far East​

RADICALS CALL FOR UNIFICATION IN GERMAN INDIA. Gujarat, Germany. The agreement made with Indian leadership following the end of the Rhine-Rhone War led to the arrival of German imperial rule on the Indian subcontinent. The formerly Spanish and Dutch possessions have been secured by the German government, but there has been an underlying feeling that such rule would be short-lived. Promises made publically by the Germans and Indians have alleged that a plebiscite or other vote would be held in the colonies to see if they would be unified with the larger Indian nation. So far no plebiscite or even plans for a plebiscite have emerged. Radical proponents of Indian nationalism in Gujarat have lobbied the German Emperor to fulfill those pledges, calling for the plebiscite and the beginnings of unification with the free Indian nation. The German government has not issued a response, though the emperor advised the radicals that the notions would be taken into consideration.

REVOLT IN NORTHERN INDIA. Lucknow, India. Regionalist sentiment has been on the rise since the establishment of a unified India and the departure of Spanish rule. The spirit has grown even further as the Spanish weakened and a political gap emerged from their losses economically and politically in the subcontinent. Though ideologically, the leaders of India rejoice in a unified state, the practicality of the matter has been quite difficult. The current Hindi language was devised by a Spaniard of all things, and has become viewed as the voice of oppression, rather than a unifying bond to build a culture. The corresponding rise of regional dialects has been in direct opposition to official policy, particularly as only those who speak Hindi are allowed to participate in the electoral process. These tensions have at last come to a head this year with a major uprising in northern India, based around the city of Lucknow. Crowds attacked the local prince and his guard, resulting in a bloodbath all of its own, and to make matters worse, the local armory was seized, and the independent Republic of Awadh was declared by the leadership. Garrisons immediate to the area defected to the rebellion, granting them an army with which to fight the government's forces. Refusing to allow the partition of the nation, the main army of India was sent in to quell the uprising. A vicious fight ensued, but the rebels were outnumbered and outgunned, possessing little to no artillery or mechanized equipment. In Lucknow, the fighting was house to house, but eventually the rebel strongholds were crushed. The vicious struggle has still not managed to temper any resentment towards the government, and it seems likely that this is just a prelude to tougher times ahead. (-19 Manpower, 21 Infantry Brigades, 1 Artillery Brigade)

INDIA'S NEW DAM PROJECT. Bombay, India. Aware of the vast problems of local infrastructure and development throughout India, one of the greatest challenges to modernization of the nation has been the lack of electricity. Most towns and even some fairly large cities lack any centralized or developed electrical grid, making life comparatively subpar when compared to most modern powers. The Indian government, seeking to improve the nation's capabilities, as well as pledging to improve the lifestyle of their people, have announced a new plan to bring light to the darkness. The center of the plan is the construction of a number of large and small hydroelectric dams on various rivers throughout the country. These dams will serve as the central power hub for the creation of electrical networks to feed the needs of the people. So far the project is only in a surveying stage, as workers for the government look and lay out possible new locations for these mountains of stone and steel. There remains very little opposition to this plan, as the amount of labor required will bring much needed employment to the more destitute centers of India.

TIBET HALTS FORT CONSTRUCTION. Lhasa, Tibet. The highly ambitious fortification program designed to modernize and develop Tibetan military positions along the Chinese and Indian borders has at last been brought to a close. Though the project has not met planned goals or objectives, the government has stated that they feel the progress that has been made is more than enough for the purposes of national defense. They have stated that the funds dedicated to the construction must be shifted to higher priority projects if the nation is to remain truly secure. They have stated that this includes the development of a more modern army by arms purchases and new training procedures. The government has made it quite clear that while the fortifications are not complete, the resolve of the Tibetan army to defend themselves is as resolute as ever.

UNITED STATES LAUNCHES NEW ECONOMIC DIRECTIVE. Chicago, United States of America. President Henry Harris and his surprisingly cooperative Congress have managed to work together to establish new bipartisan economic policies. The new objective of the legislation is to adjust tariffs dramatically higher, seeking to maximize government intake upon foreign industrial goods, as well as improve the competitiveness of American industry. The new tariff increase has been applicable to all nations, even those with whom the United States had previously signed reduction treaties. They have still maintained the letter of the treaties, raising the tariffs to the maximum points possible without violation. The protection of American business is deemed the most patriotic cause, and President Harris has said that the new legislation and taxation shows what the government can accomplish for the people when they work together.

DEREGULATION AND MONEY IN PUERTO RICO. San Juan, Puerto Rico. Seeking to establish a thriving island economy, the government of Puerto Rico has launched a multi-pronged effort to improving local wealth and prosperity. They have looked to market towards the growing international tourism trade, which has exploded in recent years as new luxury spending becomes available to a larger group of people. The development has also focused upon surveying and opening new mines, though geologists believe that any mines on the island were exploited long ago, and hold little hope for further development. Lastly, the efforts have been directed at more financing for standard businesses, particularly those related to tourism. Some have claimed that the funds would be better directed at opening an airfield, as the current airline traffic to Puerto Rico widely rely on floater planes, and current airstrips are exclusively for the use of the military.

BRAZILIAN VARUKORGBOLL DEVELOPS. Natal, Brazil. Sporting enthusiasts in Brazil have begun to develop a new variation upon the Vinlander sport of varukorgboll. In a stubborn manner that foreigners find typical in Brazilians they have insisted upon some minor changes to the rules and regulations which govern the game in the United States and Vinland. This has included lengthening the size of the court involved, as well as changing other rules for the conduct of play. The debate over rules has continued throughout Brazil, as some have lobbied to keep the older rules, so that Brazilian teams could qualify to play and defeat the teams from North America. On the opposing side, there are teams which claim that the older rules are North American ones, and thus inherently inferior to their own development. The issue remains unresolved, but at the moment, varukorgboll fever seems to have gripped Brazil, and while it hasn't quite supplanted balompie, it is making considerable inroads into the national consciousness.

JACKSONIA INTRODUCES MARKSMENSHIP SPORTING FOR SCHOOLS. Jefferson, Jacksonia. In an interesting move, the Jacksonian government announced that all schools within the nation must now compete in a new sporting competition. This includes shooting with rifles and pistols on preset ranges in existing situations. They have announced that all upper secondary level schools will participate, with students no younger than the age of seventeen. This has come with the introduction of new gun safety and use classes and curriculums for elementary tactics and fighting. A number of conservatives have decried the loss of innocence this has meant for youth, but the addition of shooting sports seems to have allayed some fears. It has provided new entertainment for Jacksonia's young, as well as teaching them valuable skills in defense.

OLYMPIC COMMITTEE RELOCATES. Geneva, Switzerland. The International Olympic Committee has been located in the city of Brussels since the first games in 1900, helping to determine fair rules and city choices for all the games since. They have issued a statement this year stating that due to the current instability and confusion in Flanders and the Netherlands, that they will no longer be based in that particular city. After careful consideration and decision, the Committee has chosen to relocate to the nation of Switzerland, choosing the city of Geneva as the new base of operations. Representatives of the committee state that the Swiss represent the most fair and neutral voice in European and global politics, isolated from most tedious affairs. They have further commended them for their role in helping bring a treaty to end the Rhine-Rhone War, acting as a mediator between the two sides. The chairman of the Committee has stated that the goal of the Olympic Games is to foster peace and brotherhood among man, and that Switzerland seems to be the ideal place for such an effort to be headquartered.

1932 OLYMPIC CITY CHOICES PRESENTED. Geneva, Switzerland. Shortly after the Committee's move to Switzerland, the fact finding groups have presented their top three choices for the 1932 Olympic Games location. They have sought out cities in stable regions politically, while also trying to find locations with easy access from sea or even from commercial airlines. The first candidate presented was the city of Sevastopol in Russia, stating that the move is a symbol of reconciling the "two Europes" and bringing about a new peace. They have further stated that the region outside of the city is well suited for Olympic construction and the creation of new facilities to host the games. The second option presented is the city of Valencia in Spain, stating that the recovery of the Spanish economy and nation is nothing short of miraculous, and that the nation is well within its power to host an astounding set of games. Lastly, in the United States, the planned city of Columbia in the state of Delaware. Built in 1893, the city was designed to be the epitome of the best of American culture and civilization and with modern design. Today, it continues to be a technological marvel in many ways, featuring the world's first unified electrical lighting among other feats. The easy port access is also appealing, as is the recently constructed airfield. The Olympic Committee has stated that it will announce its choice at the beginning of 1930.

The Cultural Center​

El Cid
This is a new film that begins with Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar being expelled out of Castile by King Alfonso VI, and taking refuge with the Moors of Zaragoza, among whom he rises as an able general and great soldier, pushing back the Almoravids and defeating the evil Count of Barcelona several times, and coming to the help of Castile in the kingdom's time of need. It was created to show how brotherhood between all Spaniards, be it Christians, Moors or Jews, can defeat any enemy, while throwing several digs at the Catalonians for abandoning the nation. El Cid has also been noted in the history of cinematography as being the first film created in Spain by a Spanish company, mostly backed by financing from the monarchy. Though it has achieved some regional popularity, it has been banned in Galicia for reasons of undermining the government. It also has not come close to managing to compete with the latest and greatest Argentine films, and critics condemn it for being at least a decade being technically the latest advances in cinema.

Fortunate Son
The newly distributed song, "Fortunate Son," is believed to have its roots in the American Crisis during the most heated fighting between the rebellious slaves and their former masters. The song has only recently been recorded and published, and has been a wildfire success throughout North America, as a song of discontent and protest. The song is widely known as a "negro spiritual" and is one of many of its type, but has been noted throughout the region as the most evocative emotionally, and thus has significant popularity. The song has actually been banned in several of the remaining states of the South and West in the United States of America, but has gained popularity in both Florida and Jacksonia. For the time being, there's little known information about the singer involved, though representatives from the UPRA claim that the song was both devised and recorded during the intense revolution in Birmingham which began the local revolution.

Revolution in Review
Billed as another "Revolution in Review" film, this time with a primarily documentary slant, covering not only recent events in the history of the Workers' Revolution but also and mostly the history of the first successful liberation of the Workers in Scandinavia. The end of the film emphasizes the dire need to ensure the safety of the Revolution in Scandinavia, its birthplace, by crushing the illegal Kongo Colonial Society regime underfoot. The film labels the Kongo Society, as greedy traitors hiding out in the heart of darkness and profiting off of the dereliction of the Scandinavian colonial empire. The film also focuses upon the fact that the Revolution continues to prosper in the UPRA and in Jamaica. They state that this shows that not only has the Revolution succeeded at home but has begun to expand across the world. While the Revolution in Review is banned in a number of nations, it has begun to make an underground circuit among a number of traditional proletarist parties through Europe and the Americas.

In exchange for our past assistance in matters of armor, we are hoping that you would see the way to graciously allow us to use your new armored designs for our military.

@Azale: Exactly how much did you want per turn for the New Republican Order? I'm assuming not the full 25 EP?

@TheLizardKing: Army Doctrine is based on experience, and prior to the recent unpleasantries, the Confederation had one of the best armies (in terms of experience) in the world. The reason you may want to design your own doctrine is to customize it based towards your own specific needs. I wouldn't call it low though.

@TerrisH: I may have missed it, but I do not see permission from the individual from whom you would like to adopt your new army doctrine. That EP has been banked.

@luckymoose; You didn't include the numbers for the Port Sudan garrison in this set of your orders. Therefore that section is still blank.

@JoanK: Adjuuramark doesn't have nobles in the sense you mean, and thus, no noble daughters. The closest thing would be daughters of the wealthy, and we'd be talking about maybe five women total, if you excluded all the married, ugly, and irrelevant.

As always, feel free to vote for your city of choice for the Olympics. Or not.

We consider the recent assault on the cannon "Big Wulda" an act of defense. You have perpetrated a shameful act of unprovoked aggression. We will not tolerate your attacks on our citizens, nor what we have reason to suspect is a coordinated attempt to disrupt the peace and stability of our nation. You will allow civilian vessels access to the Skagerrak, and you will cease your heinous attacks on our citizens, as well as your disruption of peaceful commercial traffic in the Skagerrak. If you do not, the next time Scandinavian aircraft enter Danish airspace they will be bombers.

You have been warned.

P.S.


From: Workers' Commonwealth
To: World
It is the position of the Revolutionary Government that the recent instabilities inflicted upon the Workers' Commonwealth are the work of foreign agents attempting to sow instability, mistrust and violence amongst the free people of Scandinavia. Whatever measures are necessary to ensure the safety of major urban centers of the Workers' Commonwealth, as well as the stability of our nation, will be taken. The perpetrators of these heinous acts will be made to pay for their crimes; the Workers' Commonwealth remains open to foreigners who will have nothing to fear from the law and order-keeping forces of the Revolutionary State.
