Capto Iugulum: 1920 - 1939

Odd, we could have sworn we had captured some Portuguese speaking South Americans in Kongo during the numerous rebellions there. They had been conducting a tour of our camps in Siberia, but we can't seem to remember what happened to them. We'll have to double check...

OCC: What is Siberia? There is only Nemasukyojin Apparently Siberia is quite big. I always thought it was the bit at the end.
 
It's been a while since I've posted stories, and I've written a few scenes while here in Idaho. They're mostly exercises, but they're based in CI, so they may be worth the time. The first is the Xinjing Massacre, the others are at present.

Spoiler :
Anthony Burbridge burst the palace doors open and ran inside, his head jerking around in all directions frantically. Which hall? WHICH? He had to find the hall the King's suite was in, before the King left for the Xinjing Palace for the gala. There were several halls he could see from the ground floor, and he needed to find the right one.

There! The fifth hall from the end! Anthony ran up the stairs, his fleet almost slipping on the carpet. When he reached the top of the stairs, he cut hard to the left, then to the right down the hall.

He could see the King's suite down the length of the hall, the door at the very distant end. His pulse beating in his ears, Anthony sprinted down the hall, his pace undignified for a palace. The door grew closer and closer, until finally Anthony reached it and twisted the cold handle around and flung the door aside with a loud bang.

"Your Majesty!" Anthony cried, "Your life is in grave danger!"

The butler placed his tray on the table beside the couch. "His Majesty King Henry XIII is not here. He has left to attend the gala. And who are you to burst in upon him uninvited?"

Anthony's heart dropped. He heaved, "I am... the man... to save His life!"

Lawrence dragged one foot in front of another, exhausted, with little more to give. He knew the bandits would get there way. He would walk and he would die in the desert, never to be discovered, his family in Cornwall to never hear of him again. He didn't know why he kept walking; he just kept walking. Coming to Arabia to work on the railroad was a mistake. A fatal mistake.

He reached the top of a dune to see shimmering ahead in a valley. Water! It must be water! Never before had Lawrence's lips felt so dry than when he saw water in the desert. "PRAISE GOD!" he cried. He ran down the dune as fast as he could until his feet slid out from beneath him. He tumbled down the rest of the way, sand entering his mouth, his eyes, and every crevice in his body. His shirt (which was wrapped around his head) fell off on the way. Beaten, Lawrence looked to where he fell, and at the trail that marked his tumble. His shirt was in the sand. No matter; he would not be needing it. He looked ahead to a small dune ahead, the dune before the valley. Slowly he inched his way up the dune, one hand in front of the other, dragging himself up the face. His feet gritted on the sand, trying desperately to get a hold.

Finally he reached the top. The shimmering was gone. "No... NO!" Lawrence screamed. He flailed down the dune to the valley below, crawling like a dog to where the water used to be. The sand wasn't even wet. No sign of water anywhere.

Lawrence rolled onto his back, exposing his chest to the sun, roasting his skin in the heat. No water. No hope. Lawrence prayed to God for death.

Gerald Sharp slapped the elderly Malagasy prisoner across the face, making the prisoner's nose bleed. He crouched down to the prisoner's level. "We know the rebels will strike again, and soon," Sharp said. "Our only question is this: where?"

The prisoner slowly turned his head to look at Gerald Sharp, his hands gripping the electric chair. He smiled, then laughed at Sharp. This angered Sharp. "Where? Do we need to show you the power of this chair?" The prisoner broke his laugh to listen, but continued laughing afterwords.

Sharp lifted his hand, and the aid in the back of the room dropped the handle. The man screamed as volts flowed through his body, his muscles contracting violently. After five seconds, sharp dropped his hand, and the aid returned the handle to its default position, ending the flow of electricity.

Sharp allowed the man to regain his breath before slapping him across the face. "Answer this one question, and you will be free. Where?" The prisoner continued to breath hard, then whispered, "No."

Sharp lifted his hand again. The man's screams hurt Sharp's ears, but he had heard worse. He could take it, though. This man was almost ready to break.

When the electrocution stopped, Sharp asked, "Where?" The man heaved, exhausted, his head lying on his shoulder, enjoying the moment of rest. One more little jolt, Sharp decided. He lifted his hand and the aid dropped the handle. The prisoner convulsed but suddenly stopped, his body falling limp in the chair.

"David, stop!" Sharp shouted. The aid dropped the handle. Sharp released the man and felt his wrist. No pulse. His heart had burst.

With that, Sharp pounded his fist on the floor and broke his pinky.

Jeremy O'Hare gripped the saddle of his horse with his legs with all his strength as his horse galloped down the narrow path along the river. He had been driving the horse as fast as he could, but the rugged mountainous Chinese terrain made the journey treacherous and restricted his speed. Curse these bloody mountains! They were a death trap, and an army column was preparing to march right into an ambush. He was the only one who knew.

The path ahead of him veered sharply to the right, and Jeremy followed it. But the horse lost its footing and Jeremy was thrown to the ground, knocking the wind out of him. He struggled to get his breath back as the horse flailed on the side of the path, trying to get up. Jeremy regained his footing as his horse managed to stand up. Jeremy quickly grabbed the rains. "Easy, Chestnut, easy!" he cooed, trying his best to sound calm.

The horse calmed down, and Jeremy put his foot in the stirrup and lifted himself back into the saddle. He slapped the horse's rump and resumed the frantic gallop. He was nearing the radio post, he was sure. Up ahead in the path was boulders he remembered from leaving the camp. He gave the signal, and the horse jumped over the boulders. Thankfully, the horse landed square and didn't slide out.

The path made another wicked veer to the left. Fearing he would fall off again, Jerome pulled back on the reins, slowing the horse down to make the turn around the rocks. He safely made the turn, and in the distance was the outpost, as he knew. He slapped the horse's rump again, resuming his speed until he reached the outpost.

He stopped the horse abruptly outside the radio tent, and leaped off as attendants behind him got his horse under control. He burst into the tent. "I have an urgent message for the tenth brigade!" he shouted. "There is an ambush in the mountains ahead waiting for them."

One of the radio operators immediately began to signal. "This is an urgent message for the tenth brigade: there is an ambush waiting for you ahead!" The radio operator waited for a response, but heard none. "Tenth brigade? Hello?" He then threw off his headphones. "Their radio must be out! They're on the march!"

Jeremy's heart stopped. God above! They would be massacred!

THE LISBON CONFERENCE BEARS RESULTS. Lisbon, Portugal. After last year’s catastrophe along the border between Portugal and Spain, it seems that the nations of the world are confronting the awful use of chemical weapons. Most nations have retained a stockpile of these weapons since the Great War or earlier, and over the past thirty years, the world’s worst conflicts have seen their use. Over fifty nations have attended the conference in Lisbon this year to discuss the demobilization of chemical weapon assets and to sign a treaty against their usage in combat. To the world’s surprise, the move has been supported collaboratively by both Britain and Russia, and it appears that their support has led to others to join the movement. The new Treaty of Lisbon has been presented, starting with signatures from Brazil, Britain, and Russia, as well as Portugal itself of course. The new treaty has outlawed the use of chemical weapons in combat in clear terms, forbidding signatories from using them in warfare. The treaty has also called for the destruction of all current chemical assets over the next five years, and forbids research into new types. Russia and Brazil have led the charge on chemical destruction, and both have already destroyed over half of their chemical weapon arsenal. The British have begun their own effort, but there is still some concern about a number of nations which have not signed on. The most obvious nations still foregoing signing this proud, humanitarian document are Japan and Scandinavia. Both powers have been condemned in international press as barbaric states, particularly the former which continues use of chemical weapons against both civilian and military targets throughout the Far East.

MORALISTS CONTINUE TO CALL FOR END OF WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE. Madrid, Spain. The onset of Brazil’s “Back to the Kitchen” program of last year, other moralist nations have begun to follow suit. It has been argued by the religious that the role of the woman is to raise children and support the man of the household. This traditional alignment of marriage is the focus of the latest press offensive by moralist parties throughout the world. So far, no nation has gone so far as to forbid the participation of women in the modern work place, but they have begun encouraging the removal of those that already are. Some radical Catholic clerics have begun pushing for actual legislation and legalization of the removal of women from traditionally male employment, stating the probable economic benefits, as well as the creation of a more moral society. In Spain and Brazil, the effort is by far the most aggressive, but Uruguay has begun their own program, while some begin to look towards the Papacy to see Pope Pius X’s take upon this new trend among moralist states.

News from Europe​

SPANISH UNIFICATION EXTREMISTS ARRESTED IN MULTI-NATION STING. Bordeaux, Occitania. In cooperation with the Intelligence Directorate in Occitania, government forces from Euskadi and Catalonia have led the arrest of dozens in alleged plots against their freedom. The individuals arrested have been confirmed to be Spanish agents, sent to rile up agitation against all three governments. It was discovered by Occitania intelligence that these agents planned a number of critical strikes in Aquitaine, which would have crippled local management and infrastructure. After arresting those planning the attacks in Occitania, the larger network was revealed in Euskadi and Catalonia. With the support of the Occitanians, the organization has been dismantled, and it has been revealed to have been fully financed by the Spanish government. Outrage has emerged throughout all three nations, and protests have been lodged from Galicia in sympathy for the other states affected. The Spanish have so far refused to respond to these charges, but have not denied their involvement in this attempt to destabilize their neighbors.

ELECTIONS LEAD TO BLOODY COUP IN CECHY-MORAVA. Prague, Cechy-Morava. This was to be the year of the ninth elections held in the history of the Republic of Chechy-Morava, but they did not play out as intended. The elections were highly divisive to begin with, as numerous fringe parties began to emerge in the wake of the worsening global depression. The situation was escalated as the traditional proletarists came to the forefront, calling for an overturn of the constitution and government of Cechy-Morava. The elections proved to be just as tumultuous as the campaign season, and much violence and disturbance was reported at the polls. The election results were barely in, seeming to announce a surprise upset victory for the Czech Proletarist Party. The actual results were more nuanced, but the traditional proletarists did indeed have the most seats of any other political group. This proved unacceptable to the military, and in order to “save the nation,” a cabal of leaders in the armed forces declared martial law in Prague, and arrested the key leaders of the Proletarist Party. The elections were suspended and revoked, as the army moved to secure control over the local press and other key institutions. Unfortunately, the proletarists were prepared for a fight, and the result was bloody civil conflict throughout the country. The armed forces eventually prevailed through superior weaponry, even requesting and gaining support from Russian and Hungarian forces along the border. According to reports, order has been restored, and a new government has been established around General Jarek Szalbirak. A number of nations, including Russia and Hungary, have offered their full support for the new regime, and declared this a victory against rampant proletarism.

ELECTIONS IN CORSICA. Ajaccio, Corsica. Elections were held in Corsica this year, as the people of the nation have had a fairly intense road to these affairs. In recent years, the island has had numerous protests calling for reform and condemning the current political system, which greatly favors the conservative Party of Tradition. The use of appointees to fill out spots has in the past allowed the kings of Corsica to manage the actual results of the elections in the favor of conservatism. King Sampiero III has recently begun taking a new approach, and has appointed an even divide of the island’s liberals and conservatives, opening this year for a truly fair election. The results were strongly in favor of the liberal National Reform Party, which has campaigned pledging economic and social reform, to help spur the local economy out of the marsh that the conservatives have driven it into. The electoral success has led to the appointment of Petru de Meo as the new Prime Minister of Corsica, an outspoken liberal advocate.

GERMAN ELECTIONS HELD. Munich, Germany. For the fifth consecutive time, President Anton Drexler of Germany has run against several opponents for the presidency of his nation. Remaining the overall hero of Germany and as a person who most consider to be the true father of the unified nation, Anton Drexler has continued to smash his opposition. His opponents have only slightly dared to oppose the pro-military bias of the President, and his platform has not yet been tarnished by the global economic failures. His victory was never in doubt, and President Drexler has vowed to continue serving the people of Germany for as long as he remains fit and able. The New German Brotherhood has managed to latch onto the popularity of the president, putting economic blame on foreign sources, and most who have been elected have remained in their offices. It seems likely that between President Drexler and the New German Brotherhood, the people of Germany will continue to have familiar and consistent governance. (+1 Stability)

ELECTIONS HELD IN ITALY. Naples, Italy. After five years with no change emerging for the worker, the Social Party of Italy felt the aftermath in their election results this year. The economic failure, and the faltering wealth of Italy itself has led to many to blame the social proletarists for the worsening situation. Matters have not been helped as King Niccolo himself has actively campaigned on behalf of the conservative cause, providing his own money to support victims of natural disasters and help to reconstruct the countryside. Prime Minister Beppe Accardi has been incapable of reversing the press arrayed against him, and he quickly announced that he would not run for reelection. The rest of the legislature fought a hard battle, but ultimately did not prevail, as the Italian Republican Party achieved a substantial upset, securing themselves a majority. The Republican candidate for prime minister, former naval captain Vito Corleone, also triumphed, and is the new head of government for the Italian nation. The people of Italy are optimistic, as the king attempts to rally them behind a new position, including stronger economic and political ties with the Roman Empire and Russia. (+1 Stability)

OCCITANIAN ELECTIONS HELD. Toulouse, Occitania. The outbreak of war in Burgundy and the rising new tensions with Spain have given much concern to the people of Occitania. On top of these political crises, the economic situation continues to be exacerbated, and the Party of Order faces strong threats to its lofty position in control of the government. They have responded by putting forward a new platform for peace in Western Europe, claiming that under the Franco-Burgundian Confederation, these sort of things were kept at a minimum and the people of the region were happy and prosperous. Acknowledging the failure of the idea of a French state, the Occitanians have argued instead for a new Confederate one. They have stated that one of the key pillars of their new platform will be constructing a proper political structure to replace the fallen Confederation. This has spurred new hope for the party, helping them retain their majority in the legislature, though some few seats have been lost to more liberal groups. Premier Ministre Xavier Savauge has been retained in his position, and will continue to lead the nation.

ELECTIONS HELD IN POITOU. Poitiers, Poitou. Elections were held for the first time since the crisis of 1931 this year, which had previously been resolved in favor of the conservatives. The monarchy and military continue to fully back the Unified Conservative Party, pledging a strong army and the protection of colonial interests. Unfortunately with the loss of Burgundy’s control over Gabon and Benin, it seems hard to maintain the promises of the latter. The elections were thus greatly weighted in favor of the liberal opposition, particularly as proletarist movements have also begun to gain strength. Therefore it came as a great surprise to many people when the Unified Conservatives won the elections, and maintained their majority. There exists substantial concern and evidence leaning towards tampering with the voting process, and it seems quite probable the elections were completely rigged by those in authority. This has only increased the displeasure with the regime, as people begin to join radical groups to demonstrate their opposition. (-1 Stability)

SWISS ELECTIONS HELD. St Gallen, Switzerland. This year’s elections in Switzerland have proved to be a bitter contest as both right and left dispute viciously for control of the nation’s Congress. The dispute has been widely focused around the internationalist ideas of the Greater Peace Party, which has called for aid to the people surrounding Switzerland. They have started with the financing of the Outer Haven project, which would provide better standards of living to people outside Swiss borders. This has provoked severe backlash from the liberal Progressive Party which has argued that reform needs to be completed at home before the Swiss can look towards helping others. They have alleged that vital working class reforms have been overlooked by the current regime, and that proper change is required for Switzerland. These statements have been rejected by the current government, but not without a hard fight. The Greater Peace Party has managed to retain the majority in the legislature, but President Christian Zilberschlag has not kept his own post. His rival and opponent from the Progressive Party, Carlo Heller, has won the majority vote for the office. Many are concerned that this will likely lead to government deadlock and confusion as the president and his legislature remain highly opposed in goals and objectives. (-1 Stability)

RESISTANCE GROWS IN BOSNIA. Sarajevo, Bosnia. The Free Balkan Movement has continued to gain momentum in Bosnia, particularly as the Bosnian monarch has invited Russian intervention and aid into the matter. With the growth of this combined resistance movement threatening to undermine the Bosnian monarchy, it has been argued that Russian aid is essential for preserving the peace. The Emperor’s Hand has begun to take an active role in investigating acts of the Free Balkan Movement, and limited Russian military forces have been moved into the region to preserve order. The Bosnian army itself has been placed under investigation as rumors that several officers may have sympathy to the rebel cause abound. The Bosnian regime has denied that these actions will grant greater control to the Russians over the nation, stating that the cooperation is between mutual friends and allies.

DIVIDE SHATTERS POLISH RESISTANCE. Warsaw, Russia. The Russian authorities have announced this year the utter smashing of Polish resistance forces. Credit has been mostly attributed to a papal appeal for nonviolent resistance, which has led to a stark divide among the formerly united coalition against Russian rule. The more religious, Catholic members of the resistance have argued to follow the Pope’s guidelines, while the larger proletarist segment of the group has called for continued warfare against the Russian occupiers. Eventually, the religious leaders simply turned in the proletarist leaders to Russian authorities, allowing a full rounding up of the resistance, who were promptly interrogated and executed. Thanks to these interrogations, the Russians have further managed to identity, arrest, and execute the remaining former members of the united resistance movement, including the religious ones. Over twelve hundred people have been executed in this purge, gutting the Polish resistance movement and depriving them of virtually all of their leaders and stockpiled munitions. (+1 Stability)

UK ANNOUNCES MAJOR NAVAL MOBILIZATION. Liverpool, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Prime Minister Edwin Halifax made a highly public speech over the radio and other mediums this year about a new initiative to help provide both employment and security for the British people. The new Labour Prime Minister has stated that the British government must turn towards protecting the direct interests of the nation. Citing recent Italian, Russian, and South American naval buildups, he has declared it to be unacceptable that the Royal Navy has not received the proper financing. The new program of naval construction and modernization has begun already, as a number of obsolete warships have been scrapped. New naval construction will accompany the revitalization of the main ports and infrastructure, helping to rebuild Britain itself from the ongoing recession. The new program has stated that it is the government’s goal to establish a new fleet consisting of twelve carriers, and over one hundred and fifty support ships by 1940.

REIGN OF TERROR IN PARIS. Paris, Burgundy. As the walls have come crumbling down around Philip de Gaulle, the state of Burgundy has descended into state-sponsored anarchy. The secret police have been ordered to execute anyone opposed to the government, and military units have begun barging through the city looking for deserters and anyone refusing to fight. Blood has run in the streets as the city has turned upon itself and erupted in flames, as units have refused to obey orders. The suicide of Philip de Gaulle has led to a utter collapse of the government, even as forces fall apart on the battlefield. The royal family too has gone missing, and are believed to have been killed by unruly mobs or possibly even executed by de Gaulle loyalists. The bloodshed has seemed without end, and continued in an orgy of violence and looting until order was restored by advancing Norman and Orleanais armies. Martial law has been declared, as much of the historic city has been left in complete ruins, and completely unrecognizable from the devastation.

THE FALL OF BURGUNDY. Dijon, Burgundy. An international force fell upon the collapsing nation of Burgundy this year after the country’s humiliating attempt at invading Dauphine in 1934. Last year’s defeat had been so total, that the army spent most of its time trying to regroup and restore order. With the outbreak of the reign of terror in Paris, much of the army’s command went missing or were executed by rebellious troops. Therefore, when the invasion actually began, there was no coordination or plan awaiting the attack. The few forces that were assembled were easily wiped out by overwhelming airpower and massive force used against them. Most chose to surrender, though in the north, numerous units actually cooperated with the armies of Orleans and Normandy, keeping the roads clear and helping to restore order. The little bit of fighting that took place was bloody, but thankfully scattered across the country. Due to the extreme state of anarchy which existed, the nation has remained under occupation for much of the year, and the occupying governments have issued a statement. They have declared that the new order will divide the lands of Burgundy and Paris once more, and create two separate entities. With the disappearance or death of much of the royal family, it seems likely that both states will become republics, and the populace within will be allowed to determine their own government once order is restored. Very few in Europe mourn the loss of the old government, but all mourn the loss of all the people it murdered.
Casualty Lists
Burgundy: 18 Infantry Brigades, 2 Cavalry Brigades, 1 T-20 Armored Brigade, 9 Artillery Brigades

SWISS ANNOUNCE OUTER HAVEN. Geneva, Switzerland. The latest pet project of Swiss President Christian Zilberschlag was the so-called “Outer Haven” which was announced in time for the election season. The new program is aimed at improving the standard of living for those surrounding Switzerland, including towns and villages immediately adjacent to the country. It has been viewed as a humanitarian exercise, particularly in the wake of the war in Burgundy, but it remains bitterly contested at home. The Greater Peace Party has fully supported the former president’s measures, but the new President Heller is less than in favor of the Outer Haven. He has vowed to revoke the program and reverse it to the best of his ability as the head of government, but he likely faces harsh resistance from the legislature. The new president has stated that the Outer Haven is a waste of Swiss funding upon those who once oppressed and sought to destroy the Swiss nation and people.

DENMARK BEGINS NEW FORTIFICATION PROJECT. Copenhagen, Denmark. Though some had hoped that the victory of the Socialdemokraterne in last year’s elections would lead to a reduction in military spending, this seems to not be completely the case. Though there has been a drop in recruitment drives and conscription, the Danish government under new Statsminister Christian Zahle has stated that they seek to create jobs, while preserving the defense of the country. They have stated that the answer to security is not extant in a large, crippling military, but in the establishment of a Fortress Denmark to deter any determined attacker. The new fortifications are said to rival those of the Mannerheim Line in scale and significance, designed especially to knock out enemy air or land attacks. The fortifications have been predominantly focused on the neighboring boundaries with Scandinavia and Germany, and the President has stated that while his party is still interested in reconciliation with the proletarists, they would have to show some form of similar sentiment before any demobilization could be considered.

DEATH OF THE KING OF PORTUGAL. Lisbon, Portugal. King Pedro VI has been one of the longest reigning monarchs in the history of Europe, and certainly the longest lived in modern Europe. To the dismay of the Portuguese people, Pedro VI passed away this year, due to health complications resulting from his old age. Pedro VI took the throne of Portugal in 1882, and has overseen the nation for over fifty years, through some of its most tumultuous events. He had taken the throne at the age of twenty-eight, and under his reign, Portugal was able to establish itself as a moderate global imperial power once more. Unfortunately, this was not to last, having chosen the wrong side in the Great War and losing of Portugal’s overseas empire. The king used the discontent to allow new reform and change, introducing a constitution and legislature, and voluntarily giving up power. His withdrawal from politics for a time, led to the debacle in Jamaica, but afterward, he has led the charge in establishing Portugal as a dominant state in aeronautics trade, research, and development. He has been known as one of the greatest kings in Portuguese history, and his son, the new King Alfonso II has large boots to fill, and most are unsure whether or not he’ll measure up to the challenge.
 
News from the Americas​

WAR ENDS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. Managua, Nicaragua. The brutal bloodshed between Nicaragua and Costa Rica has been at last brought to an end after a ceasefire was declared this March. With San Jose under siege by Nicaraguan guns and the Colombians threatening an intervention, both countries agreed to come to the negotiating table. After several key losses on the battlefield, it is clear that the Costa Ricans were at a severe military disadvantage, and the Nicaraguans had the luxury of dictating the new peace. Rather than seeking territorial conquest or advantage, the government of Nicaragua has insisted upon the holding of free and supervised elections next year. They have demanded that the Costa Ricans return immediately to the constitution proposed after the dissolution of the United States of New Spain over a decade ago. Faced with little alternative besides oblivion, General de Luz has agreed to Nicaragua’s terms, and the fighting was brought to an end. Nicaraguan forces have remained behind in San Jose to monitor the elections, and have called for Vinlandic and Colombian observers to take part in supervising the results. (+1 Stability for Costa Rica and Nicaragua)

Costa Rica: 2 Conscript Brigades
Nicaragua: 1 Infantry Brigade, 1 Artillery Brigade

MASSACRE ON US-VINLAND BORDER. Duluth, United States of America. As the Americans remain locked in a death struggle with the United Proletarist Republics of America, the border with the north has been fairly undefended. The Vinlandskridningpolis have done their best to maintain border patrols and the infrastructure of customs between the two, as well as enforcing the rule of law on the frontiers of Vinland. The recent war has led to a rise in smuggling across the border, and the government of Vinland has done its best to crack down on the crime which has emerged. This year tragedy struck as a large party of American militiamen crossed the border and razed several outposts of the Vinlandskridningpolis, brutally executing over twenty captured members of the organization, and dismembering their corpses. It has likely been given as a warning to the law enforcement group, warning them to stay away from the smuggling enterprise. The American militia group responsible has simply stated that it was enforcing local law and preventing the theft of American property and possessions by the Vinlanders. New outrage has emerged in Vinland over the barbaric actions of the Americans, though the governments of both nations have remained quiet on the matter to date.

AZTEC ELECTIONS HELD. Tenochtitlan, Aztlan. After the troubled and divisive elections of the past two campaigns in 1927 and 1931, it seems a bit of a shift that this year the elections were quite subdued. The Democratic Party and President Matlal Banegas have been noted as secure in their power base and capable of retaining their posts. The global economic situation has not been as harsh to the Aztec people, and the economy, while not booming, continues to somewhat grow. The modest prosperity in the midst of global economic downturn seems to be a magic bullet for the Democratic Party and their president. Both legislators and the president were handily reelected, though various opposition parties continue to maintain a tough position, refusing to give an inch to the liberal majority. The president has pledged a continuation of successful policies, hoping to maintain the prosperity of the Aztecs, while remaining isolated from the growing conflagration in North America that is the war between the United States of America and the proletarists.

ELECTIONS IN CHILE. Santiago, Chile. Chilean elections were deemed to be a sure thing this year, as Davros Cruz stood poised for another triumphant campaign for himself and moralism. Unfortunately, as the campaign season began, President Cruz died of a heart attack, leaving the electoral race anyone’s contest. Despite the president’s own personal popularity of a sort, this did not extend to his own picked successors and the rest of his government. The loudest voice to emerge from the chaos of Chilean elections was that of liberal reformist, Michael Viana. He has called for the restoration of the Chilean legislature and once more for the separation of the Catholic Church from the apparatus of state. These platforms have endeared him to the working class and the intellectuals, and while not being a proletarist himself, he has called for the legalization of all political parties. With Cruz dead and no one willing or able to fill his shoes, Viana has achieved a strong electoral victory, pledging reform to come in the next couple of years.

CUBAN ELECTIONS HELD. Havana, Cuba. The government of Cuba undertook what some consider to be a façade of elections this year, as President Adolfo Garcia has campaigned against other opponents. Despite the protests of the opposition, the elections are actually believed to be fair and upright, and have borne greater legitimacy to the absolute rule of the president. The conservatives under President Garcia’s command still waged a fairly dirty campaign, using intimidation methods and control of the media to marginalize the efforts of the opposition. The elections themselves were unbiased and unaltered, resulting in a slim majority of support for President Garcia. These elections have justified another term of office for the president, who has vowed to restore Cuban prosperity in a troubled region.

ELECTIONS IN HONDURAS. Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The National Order Party in Honduras has begun to rally the people ever forward in the course of this year’s elections. As peace has at last come between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, it seems as though the situation in Central America is moving towards stability. The National Order Party has alleged though, that there is still great risk, due to increased agitation and trouble emerging from the nation’s Mayan minority. They have alleged that these disturbances could be the prelude to a new war with the Mayans, one which no one desires. They have played off these fears and rallied the populace, pledging to maintain Honduran alliances and military force to discourage any opportunistic attack. The people have fallen in line, and the National Order Party has overwhelmingly triumphed and President Javier Sol has once more been returned to office on a majority. (+1 Stability)

ELECTIONS IN JACKSONIA. Jefferson, Jacksonia. After four years of a partition between the executive and legislative branches of Jacksonia’s government, it seems that the time of troubled political dealings may be at an end. The Party of Order and President King have remained diametrically opposed, and have accomplished little beyond the conclusion of the War of the Colorado River. The credit for the end of the war has not fallen to the president, however, and the legislature has claimed that peace has come by their hands, and the concessions made were the fault of the president. The Party of Order has claimed that they alone can provide the military strength required to prevent opportunistic attacks by Florida or the United States. Thomas Boden has been one of the key advocates of this policy and was the candidate for Presidency nominated by the Party of Order. With strong push, they managed to achieve control once more of Congress and the presidency, and a new leadership has begun for the people of Jacksonia, with a unified government.

FIRST NEW ELECTIONS IN JAMAICA. Kingston, Jamaica. For the first time since the Portuguese invasion, the Jamaican people have undertook the process of fair and free elections under Vinlandic and Brazilian supervision. Due to the atrocities and hardships faced under the rule of the proletarists, all proletarist parties, social or traditional, have been illegalized and disallowed from participation. The interim President Dove did his best to hold together a coalition government, but factionalism took hold as conservatives and liberals faced off once more. The conservatives under the reformed Democratic Party have called for the rebuilding the shattered coastal and military defenses, as well as being highly opposed to proletarism internationally. They have stated that Jamaica needs new friends and alliances in a troubled world. The liberals have instead argued that Jamaica does need to rebuild its defenses, but should focus inward, and work on its own protection, as allies have been proven to be unreliable, as seen when Portugal invaded and the UPRA took over. Eventually the conservatives triumphed, and the Democratic candidate, Samuel Dunlop, has become the new president of Jamaica.

DEATH OF THE KING OF THE MAYANS. Belize, Mayaland. To the bereavement of the Mayan people, King Ceh of the Mayan Kingdom has passed away this year from natural causes. Though his reign as king has been brief, his rule over the nation consisted of some of the most dramatic events in modern Mayan history. During his time with the military, he served honorably in war against the Aztecs and Spanish, and then led the revolt which deposed the corrupt republic and established military rule. Under military rule, the Mayans have more or less prospered, and he crushed a revolt that sought to restore the old regime. The Mayans only recently became a monarchy, and his eldest son has been crowned as King Janaab, with the full support of the military establishment. While not having seen combat himself and not as militaristic as his father, the new king is still widely respected and of conservative values.

ELECTIONS IN PARAGUAY. Asunción, Paraguay. The nation of Paraguay went through the process of elections this year, and they proved to be exciting and tumultuous for all concerned. Much concern has existed from the left about the ability and functionality of the conservative government. They have alleged that the conservatives lean too close to moralism, seeking to undermine secular rule with interference from the Catholic Church. The liberal Social Democratic Party has sought to make these platforms the foundation of their campaign for political office. The secondary platform has been in regards to the faltering local economy, which continues to grow weaker as the world falls deeper into economic depression. The Social Democrats have pledged to establish stronger trade ties with Peru and Argentina, while maintaining the separation of church and state. They have further promised to work on reversing the economic situation and restoring prosperity. These have rung true with the voters, and the Social Democrats have won the majority in the legislature, while their chosen presidential candidate, Andreas Villalobos, has triumphed on his own merits.

ELECTIONS IN URUGUAY. Montevideo, Uruguay. The weak economy has taken its toll this year upon Uruguayan politics, as the Moralist Party has taken most of the blame. They have been accused of hindering the economy and worsening the situation through prohibition of liquors, increasing criminal activity throughout the nation. Papal favorite, Roberto Lonzo has faced a harsh challenge to his position as President of Uruguay, as liberal contender Philip Duval has managed to win the hearts of the masses, pledging a reduction of crime and a resumption of prosperity for Uruguay. President Lonzo, despite using every resource at the disposal of the Moralist Party, was unable to triumph in the executive elections. His fall has led to the inauguration of the new President Duval, but the victory has not been complete for the liberals. The Moralist Party remains firmly entrenched in the Uruguayan Congress, and has vowed to fight to maintain all of the legislation they’ve forced through in recent years. (-1 Stability)

VINLANDIC ELECTIONS HELD. Nya Stockholm, Vinland. Numerous new issues have arisen in recent years for the people of Vinland. The two key parties, the conservative Konservativ Industripartiet and the social proletarist Socialproletärpartiet have been locked in vicious struggle throughout the year for power and the all-powerful majority. The struggle was brutal and both parties have accused the others of making the situation worse, while the social proletarists have claimed that the government is wasting funds on ultra-secret projects kept from the legislature as a whole. At first it actually seemed that the social proletarists may once again gain the majority, until the vicious massacre of members of the Vinlandskridningpolis by an American militia. This proved a decisive issue, and while many believe that the conservatives are stronger on military, they still were lax enough to allow this catastrophe to take place. The social proletarists were forced to a back seat, as the more moderate, but still liberal, Socialdemokratiskapartiet came back towards prominence. While not being able to gain a majority, the liberals were still able to gain the most seats of any political party, and established a coalition government with some of the social proletarists. This allowed them to place liberal politician, Mika Saari as the new Statsminister. The liberals are a bit of an unknown in Vinlandic politics, and no one is quite sure what will come of this unexpected twist in the elections.

RIOTING IN SAN JOSE. San Jose, Costa Rica. The conclusion of the bloody war with Nicaragua has left only bitterness in the hearts of the people of Costa Rica. General de Luz has rightfully been given most of the blame both for the war and the defeat which resulted from it. Though new elections are scheduled for next year, the general temporarily retains control and seems to be free from any repercussions from his disastrous reign. A protest against the general quickly turned violent in the streets of San Jose, prompting the general to flee to a military base outside of the city and declare martial law. The rioting caused extensive damage to the urban interior of the city, and hundreds were killed or badly injured in the process. The general has stated that the unrest will not deter fair and free elections, and has blamed the disturbance upon the efforts of unruly proletarist plots.

FLORIDA OFFERS SUPPORT FOR STATE SECESSION. Dallas, Florida. New tensions have emerged between the United States of America and the nation of Florida this year with the announcement that Florida would welcome any state that chooses to secede from the union. The ongoing war between the United States and the United Proletarist Republics has threatened to further destabilize the continent, and it seems as though Florida is exploiting the situation. The Floridians have offered peace and security, as well as an inherent prosperity and growth for any state that joins them. This offer has been completely shunned and rejected throughout the western United States, which remain some of the most loyal in the country. The only result has been outrage in Chicago, as President Harris and his government have condemned the Floridian attempt to destabilize the nation and have warned of potential repercussions.

THE RECLAMATION WAR. Chattanooga, United Proletarist Republics of America. The war in North America between the United States and the United Proletarist Republics seems to have entered a new stage. US forces are scrambling to recover from last year’s losses, looking to take the fight back to the proletarists. The UPRA continued to put up a good fight for the sky, denying superiority to the USA for the first two thirds of the year, as their planes remain overall superior to the American ones, and the Catalonian expedition continued to be reinforced. This changed dramatically later in the year, with the arrival of a Russian expeditionary force including jets, and more traditional aircraft were also sold directly to the United States Army Air Corps. The Russian jets quickly swept the significantly inferior proletarist planes out of the sky, devastating the pilot corps of both Catalonia and the UPRA, and giving air superiority to the US as a fine Christmas present. On the ground, the US was able to start the year off with an offensive in the Appalachians. Unfortunately, they ran face first into much larger proletarist forces, and without control of the skies, they were devastated and pushed back. The proletarists used the rest of the year to slowly gain control of more of the Appalachians consolidating the defensive lines in the eastern part of the country. In the north, heavy fighting has continued to take place along the Ohio river, and towards the end of the year, it seems matters have gone in favor of the Americans, as use of close air support has devastated the river boat corps of the UPRA. The heaviest fighting of the war, however, took place along the Atlantic coastline, as proletarist forces approached the greatest city in the United States, Charleston. The sprawling metropolis was the focus of the proletarist offensive, and they managed to reach the outskirts of the city in the early part of the summer. The city has been heavily shelled, and proletarists have pushed into the urban center by the end of fall. Fighting has continued to be reported throughout the year, and the city has been devastated by the onslaught, as both sides have waged a relentless urban war, as the US managed a successful counteroffensive which retook over twenty square blocks of the city by the end of December.

WAR AND UNREST SPUR US REFORM. Chicago, United States of America. The war with the United Proletarist Republics and the 1934 uprising in the western states has spurred the need for reform and change. The harsh costs of waging the war has forced the US government to shut down a large number of the departments and institutions established by previous regimes. They have announced that much of the current power will be centralized with state governments and the military. Similarly, they have authorized the formation of citizen militias and posses for enforcement of laws throughout the western states and other regions. Effectively condoning vigilantism, they have asked people to be on the lookout for dissident behavior and the threat of rebellion among elements of the population. The formation of militias has been whole-heartedly embraced by the white population in the western areas, as they seek to prevent further disruptive rebellion from among the blacks. Of course there has been a cost to the policy, as witness with the massacre that took place along the border with Vinland, but with the army and federal government’s resources stretched, it seems that this is a move of necessity for the President and Congress.

BOLIVAR DECLARED FREE TRADE PORT AMID END OF HARSH TARIFFS. Bolivar, Colombia. Even as the Colombian government has begun enacting strict liquor prohibition throughout the rest of the country, there is one area that remains an exception to the law. The growing city of Bolivar on the Panama Canal has been allowed to continue serving liquors without restriction. In theory the city was also meant to act as a refining center for petroleum imported from Venezuela and locally, but with recent economic developments, this has come to a stop. Instead a lucrative gambling and tourist industry has begun to emerge, as the location is a favored destination for cruise ships from both South and North America. This has been aided with the repeal of harsh tariffs and other restrictions upon shipping from both Japan and Jacksonia, aiding to the development of tourism in Bolivar. Moralist leaders have decried the rising depravity of Bolivar, but with the election of a liberal legislature, it seems unlikely that the situation will be changed.

VENEZUELA CUTS THE PIPELINE. Maracaibo, Venezuela. In retaliation for the recent nationalization of oil refinement in Colombia, the Venezuelan government has responded with the ending of all petroleum exports to Colombia. They have stated that the Colombian actions are in violation of a number of economic treaties signed in the past, and that with the nationalization, they are done participating as well. They have further cited the Venezuelan worker and industry which have been negatively affected, stating that Venezuela was not consulted on this development, while they were supposed to be equal participants and owners of the pipeline. President Felix de Puga has called the nationalization a betrayal of good faith and reason, and has refused further business with the liberal regime in Colombia. The Venezuelans have instead begun exporting oil directly, and have been working on building their own export and merchant marine to handle increased demand. This has dramatically raised oil prices in Colombia and has created a new divide in the northern part of the continent as the local rivalry has arisen anew.

CHILE BEGINS FORT MODERNIZATION. Santiago, Chile. Despite the results of this year’s elections, the Chilean government has begun to push forward with a program modernizing the existing forts along the borders with Argentina and Peru. Though the new regime is not as hostile to the nation’s neighbors as the Cruz government was, it has been stated that this is a matter for needed defense. The dramatic enlargement of both the Peruvian and Argentine army in the past decade has been cited as the first step towards the domination of Chile. Similarly, the construction of modern new forts and Argentina’s own modernization program are the recent reason for the improvement of Chile’s own defenses. President Michael Viana has stated that due to the unique geography of Chile, every effort must be taken to prevent an unseemly invasion by either of the nation’s neighbors.

FIRST ZULU ELECTIONS HELD. Bulawayo, Zululand. After the onset of reforms last year, the Zulu people began holding their first regional and national elections throughout this one. The elections were harshly disputed, but the chief contender remained the Party of Tradition, which was endorsed and supported by King Shaka III. The Party of Tradition’s core remains the old aristocracy and plutocrats who managed the nation during the war for independence and in some cases, before the war with the British. They have advocated the retaining of old traditions and social systems, resisting the disruptive change that comes from liberalism or other branches. Under their influence, traditional proletarist parties have been barred from participating in the elections, and they have managed to get the party’s voice heard above all others. With full exposure to the masses, the Party of Tradition found the contest far more easily won than expected, and they have appointed former military leader Thalbo Malan as Zululand’s first prime minister.

REPUBLIC FORMED IN CHAD. Abeche, Chad. The people of Chad have voted in their first and final constitution this year, seeking to create a republican government free of the corruption witnessed under Spanish rule. Within the committee assembled, the conservative voices were heard the loudest, as former members of the old supportive regime managed to get their own views heard the most. They have supported the creation of a constitution highly favoring the status quo and old business exploitation. While not exactly a popular platform, it has been justified under the pledge of creating more employment and removing corruption from the day to day life of governance. The Foundation Party has been formed, pledging to retain a favorable relationship with all neighbors, including Spain. The new legislature has been packed full of these conservative ministers, after the elections proved highly successful. The next elections are slated to be held every six year, with the following ones being in 1941. Adoum Dadnadji, a popular militia leader, has been selected as the first prime minister of Chad by the majority party in the new nation’s Congress.

FLOODING CAUSES DAMAGE IN ABYSSINIA. Kebri Dehar, Abyssinia. The Shabelle River overwhelmed its banks this year after a season of torrential rains and unusually high river marks. The floods have wrecked a number of riverside villages and communities, causing many to be forced out of their homes. The damage has been badly treating the nation’s infrastructure, and series of new bridges were washed away and wiped out by the rising floodwaters. The government has stated that the cost to the nation’s new road and railroad development program. The construction has been delayed substantially, as the nation has been forced to focus resources towards rebuilding those bridges recently destroyed. The worsening floodwaters eventually receded, but many are now returning home to shattered lives and wrecked houses. Talks have begun about extending the current infrastructure program to include reinforcement of riverside levees, in the hopes of preventing worse flooding in the future.

EGYPTIAN ELECTIONS HELD. Cairo, Egypt. Elections have been held for only the second time in Egypt this year, as the People’s Democratic Coalition at last fell apart. The various parties involved have consolidated into smaller groups, some religious, others more secular. The leading liberal party which has emerged, led by President Fadl Fakhri Ahmed, is the Republic Party, and has vowed to continue the currently extant policies of the regime. The elections have proven to be fairly straightforward at first, but the inherent chaos caused by the collapse of the coalition have led to confusion among the electorate. This in turn has resulted in a drop of the overall liberal control of the legislature, and it seems likely the situation is not going to improve. Substantial bickering and infighting has taken place, and with this has come worsened stability, even as President Ahmed has graciously accepted yet another term in office by the sympathetic majority.

ELECTIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA. Cape Town, South Africa. The nation of South Africa has not faced the same level of economic woes as the rest of the British Empire, or indeed the world. The lack of economic failure in South Africa has done much to bolster the credibility of the reigning Labour Party government under President Robert Hazard. Though the economy has stagnated as a whole, the situation is still better than most countries globally, and the approval of the masses has been witnessed at the polls. The majority of the population seems to still support the Labour Party and they have managed to win a handy victory across the board, keeping them in charge of the nation. The one change this year has been as President Hazard announced his retirement of politics, and a new President has been appointed. Christopher Mitchell has been selected as the new presidential representative of the Labour Party, and he has promised to continue forward the popular and successful policies of his predecessor.

ARAB FIGHTERS ATTACK IN GERMAN ARABIA. Damascus, Germany. The German colonial government in the Middle East has begun to face direct attack by the local movement unknown as the Arabic Islamic Fighters. These guerillas have begun to assault German military arsenals and positions directly, with greater numbers than previously surmised. The rebels have vowed to overthrow the German “crusader state” and have vowed a holy war against local rule until freedom is obtained. They have won some successes against the German garrison, wiping out a number of border outposts and raiding arsenals for supplies. Against this has been German military successes as the Germans undertake their own campaign to quell the resistance. The Germans have successfully destroyed several rebel strongholds, wiping out a few minor cadres of the rebel movement against them. The German colonial governor has declared the situation to be well in hand, despite a few minor setbacks across the region. (-2 Infantry Brigades)

BLOODY REVOLT IN SPANISH CENTRAL AFRICA. Bria, Spain. The independence of Chad has only encouraged other groups within the faltering Spanish Empire, and the rest of Central Africa has continued to suffer. This year a major revolt took place among the Baya population of the central parts of the Spanish colony in the middle of Africa. The revolt has been to a great scale, not seen in the region before. Massive attacks were launched against the Spanish garrison, and the Spanish were hard pressed to maintain order and even their hold on the colony as a whole. The fighting was brutal, but eventually the Spanish garrison managed to turn the tide and suppress the uprising with heavy casualties. The rebels attempted to appeal for the support of Chad and other surrounding nations, but the newly elected government of Chad declined to provide aid to the uprising. The Spanish have since arrested most of the rebel leaders, but the brutality of the unrest has led to the destabilization of relations with other tribes, and it seems likely the situation in Central Africa has only been exacerbated by this abortive revolt. (-2 Infantry Brigades, -3 Cavalry Brigades, -2 Artillery Brigades)

ATTACKS IN BRITISH ARABIA. Riyadh, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The British colonial government in Arabia has continued to face unrest from the tribal nomads that now make up much of the resistance in the peninsula. Though there are more organized groups in the larger cities of the colony, the tribes have spent much of their history first fighting the Arabian Empire, and now the British. They have raided British caravans and assaulted forts and other bases throughout the colony. This has included some attacks on the vital oil facilities, though thankfully these have all been repulsed by defending British garrisons. The British have condemned these attacks, but have not had much luck in tracking down and eliminating the offenders. It is believed the attacks will continue as the tribes fight to retain their way of life and internal autonomy. (-1 Infantry Brigade)

COUP DEPOSES TYRANT IN ABYSSINIA. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia. After a lackluster government response to the devastating flooding along the Sabelle River, factions within the military against the regime of Grand Marshal Orit grew. Yared Orit was already a man with substantial enemies due to his takeover of the Abyssinian government after fighting for independence against the Kongo. A group of military leaders and republican activists have since launched a revolution against the Grand Marshal, and it proved to be a highly successful action. The revolt was staged within Addis Ababa itself, and the Grand Marshal was placed under arrest, and loyalists across the nation were rounded up over the course of a week. The leader of the revolt, Kifle Bulti, has declared the beginning of a truly free republic and the end of military rule. He has announced that fair and free elections will be held next year, with the implementation of a new, liberating constitution. (+1 Stability)

ANGOLAN CIVIL WAR ERUPTS. Namibe, Angola. The small African nation of Angola has erupted into civil war this year after an attempted military coup failed to secure a rapid transition of power. The tyranny of General Teodoro Gallego has been well known since the acquisition of power from Brazil’s dominion. Despite some early hopes that he would establish a free democracy in Angola, it seems that he has grown too accustomed to power and its perks. A group of rivals within the army have sought to end the reign of Gallego, and launched a move to seize control of Namibe and arrest the tyrant. Unfortunately, General Gallego caught wind of the upcoming coup, and was able to fortify the capital with loyal regiments. The fighting was brutal, but eventually the loyalist forces were able to push back the attack and maintain the general’s power. General Anahi Simbron, the leader of the opposition, has vowed to continue the fight until the Angolan people are truly free from oppression, whether foreign or local in its origin.

MUTINY IN BURUNDI. Kalemie, Burundi. The nation of Burundi emerged from the end of British colonial rule in Southeast Africa as a raider state, seeking to pillage its neighbors for wealth. The large war with Zambia and the support of Chokweland forced a conclusion to this method of economic sustainment, and the government has instead focused on consolidating power. Unfortunately, these efforts and changes are not appreciated by the rank and file, some of whom generally enjoyed and profited from the looting which took place. This year they turned their guns against their superiors, and proceeded to begin marauding throughout the countryside of Burundi itself. Obviously, this flagrant attack and revolt could not go unanswered by the leader of the nation, Imamu Bapela. Loyal military forces were immediately moved in to quell the revolt, and after a bloody fight, succeeded in executing all those who had dared to revolt. The possessions of the slain mutineers have been divided among the victorious troops, helping to buy the loyalty of the remaining forces. (-1 Infantry Brigade)

CONSCRIPTS RIOT AMONG THE CHOKWE. Luau, Chokweland. The war between the Chokwe and Ovambo has not been very popular on the home front, despite the encouragement for the offensive from foreign powers. This year, the unpopularity of the war was demonstrated with a revolt among the new ranks of Chokwe conscripts recruited for waging the war and invasion. When ordered to march to the war in the south, these conscripts chose instead to riot, killing their officers and threatening to bring chaos to the area surrounding the base. Loyal military forces were quickly sent in to restore order, but found the riot too large to immediately handle. The base was cordoned off, and more military forces were diverted from the front lines, including aircraft and heavy equipment. With the deployment of artillery and tanks, the revolt was suppressed, but casualties proved heavy on both sides of the impromptu battle. (-2 Conscript Brigades)

EGYPTIAN UNIONS SPLIT AMID BICKERING. Cairo, Egypt. The largest and most prominent Egyptian unions suffered a severe blow this year, as union leaders wound up disagreeing on a number of key issues. Several proponents of proletarism have found their words unwelcome among the majority of union leaders, and the result was a violent confrontation which has led to the collapse of a unified worker front in Egypt. The event has resulted in an clear and obvious loss of power and influence for unions, and with it, the subduing of one of the most politically disruptive forces in the nation. Business leaders have privately rejoiced upon the news, and it seems to have gone a long way to helping stabilize the nation’s overall internal situation. Some workers have called for reconciliation, but it seems that ideological differences will make forward progression too difficult. (+1 Stability)

COUP CRUSHED IN GABON. Moanda, Gabon. Despite the nation’s short existence, there has been more than enough time for political factions to form in the African nation of Gabon. It has become clear to some leaders of the armed forces that General Ekene Mba has no desire for anything other than his own power and glorification. His absolute reign is to be unchallenged, and this has not sat well with those who had helped lead the fight for independence against Burgundy. A number of reformists began plotting this year to undertake a revolt against Mba and his own supporters, ousting him and helping establish a free republic. These plans, while not immediately discovered by the government, ultimately were revealed not long before they were put into motion. General Mba was thus able to lure the rebels into an ambush outside of Moanda, and enact a devastating slaughter. While this has been a success for now, most of the leaders of the revolt have eluded capture or death, and could still pose a threat to the stability of General Mba’s regime. (-1 Infantry Brigade)

ATTACKS BUILD SUPPORT AGAINST IRAN. Baghdad, Iran. The Arab revolutionaries in Mesopotamia have continued their own war against Iran this year, seeking to undermine and overthrow the occupying government. An attempt was made to assassinate the leadership, but was easily detected, and the would-be assassin was sent back in pieces to the Iranian leadership. This was followed by a series of bombings against government installations and the assassination of Iranian occupation officials throughout the area. This has done much to destabilize the region, and has built up even more support for the rebels against Iran. Reports have also indicated that several major successes were had by the rebels in seizing munitions from the Iranians, and with these successes, the Arab rebellion has swelled its ranks, and reportedly grows stronger with each passing day.

REPUBLICANS RALLY IN KABINDE. Luanda, Kabinde. Since acquiring independence from the Netherlands, Commander Ludo Janz has ruled Kabinde with an iron fist, without heeding any calls for reform or change. He has further garnered support from foreign governments, particularly Brazil as he retains a militaristic stance towards Kongo and proletarism in Africa. The Commander faced a new threat this year as a number of people have marched in Luanda demanding democratic representation and the formation of a republic. The army was immediately called in, but proved lackluster in their performance and attempts to shut down the protests. Thankfully, violence was avoided, but the protests have seriously damaged the credibility of the regime, and have rallied support for the opposing cause. The republicans have lauded the protests as a major success, as they have built up more support for reform or even the ouster of the Janz government. (-1 Stability)

VARUKORGBOLL RIOT IN KONGO. Haraldsholm, Kongo. The sporting event known as varukorgboll started in Vinland, but has since been a popular pastime in both Scandinavia and Kongo. This year, the game was turned upside down when a team from the interior of Kongo deployed a black player. The team played against the home team in Haraldsholm, and managed to humiliate them with a crushing victory. This victory sparked outrage among the viewers of the game, and the result was a sprawling riot throughout the area around the arena. The rioting was vicious and racially based, as the angry crowd attacked black members of the populace, and proved to be brutal in their treatment of these poor souls. The black player of the varukorgboll team barely escaped with his life, but is unlikely to ever play again due to his injuries. The Emperor has denounced this riotous behavior, and has called for calm, thankfully having his request answered. The crowds dispersed after only one violent evening, and it seems that the debacle was a one night only display.

BRAZIL GAINS NEW PORT IN AFRICA WITH BENIN TREATY. Lagos, Benin. The young nation of Benin has only barely begun its existing, receiving much sympathy from the global community due to its treatment by the crazed regime in Paris. The Brazilians have capitalized upon the current status of Benin with the signing of a new treaty which has granted them a fifty year lease upon a naval base in the port city of Lagos. Three destroyers are now stationed at the old Burgundian facilities, on rotating patrol duty throughout the southern Atlantic Ocean. Benin has also benefitted from this deal with the acquisition of a number of older Brazilian aircraft and tanks, helping to somewhat modernize their armed forces and weaponry. The treaty has been pledged as the start to a new era of Brazilian relations in Africa, complementing a similar naval base constructed on the eastern coast of the continent in Sudan acquired after that nation had won its independence from Kongo not long ago.

IRAN COMPLETES OIL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. Basra, Iran. The Iranian government was pleased to announce this year the completion of a multi-year program to expand and develop their national petroleum supply. The program has including the opening of a number of new wells, all owned by the monarchy, and expanding existing refinery facilities to increase production of refined goods. The production has been increased exponentially, and the program can be declared a success as global oil consumption continues to climb, even in the economic recession. The program has also help supplant Venezuela and Colombia, who have been faltering in their own refining and production. Iran has easily surpassed the quality and scale of those two nations, and is quickly edging them out of the international marketplace, though they still face stiff competition from places like Aztlan and Florida.

MALI GAINS ITS FREEDOM. Bamako, Mali. In the latest success for decolonization, the nation of Mali has forced the Imperial Scandinavians in Haraldsholm to recognize their independence. After years of indecisive conflict in the nation, the government in Kongo has agreed to grant freedom to the Malian people. The new treaty has allowed for the peaceful withdrawal of all of the armies of the League of the Three Emperors before the occupation of still imperial held provinces. The treaty has assured the independence, but at the same time, binds Mali not to allow the military presence of any other state within its borders. The treaty expressly forbids the construction of any other military bases or arrival of other states in the area. It has also placed restrictions upon the arms trade, allowing Mali to only buy munitions from Kongo and its allies. Faced with their own base of support and a tough war, Mali was forced to stomach these provisions, and their success has helped contribute to a growing rise of instability throughout neighboring imperial possessions.

CONSOLIDATION IN BENIN. Lokoja, Benin. With the success of achieving a recognized independence from the global community as a whole, General Emile Dawon has begun focusing on consolidating his power base and military. This has included the establishment of an internal intelligence network, as well as building loyalty among the main military forces of the young nation. The primary reform has been the creation of a standard system of pay for the soldiers of Benin, which they did not have before. This key step has allowed for the creation of true regulars and the end of the old militia system in Benin, and has actually been fully embraced and supported among the other military leaders of Benin. They stand in full step behind General Dawon, aiding him to the best of their ability in forging a true nation out of the disparate peoples in Benin. Military forces have also assisted in the construction of rudimentary housing for the large refugee population of the capital of Lokoja, as the Red Crescent has also provided money and support for the measure. Dawon has begun to secure true popularity among the masses, further improving his regime and government’s stability. (+1 Stability)

END OF THE CHOKWE-OVAMBO WAR. Velamanville, Ovamboland. The brutal two year war between the Ovambo and Chokwe has come to an end, with the complete defeat of the proletarist government and their armies. The proletarists of the Ovambo were incapable of matching the same size and scale of the Chokwe armies, and have been forced to surrender with the collapse of the front lines. The collapse came early in the year after the larger Chokwe force launched a frenzy attack upon all points along the border. The attacks broke through in numerous places, and within a few years, the Chokwe forces were entering Velamanville, and ending local rule. Syndic Amadi Beloyi and his cohorts have mostly fled to Scandinavia, leaving only a token group of leaders to surrender to their enemies. Nehale Nelumbo, a military leader who had been captured early by the Chokwe, has been put in charge of the Ovambo nation. He has stated that he will prevent the succumbing of the nation to proletarist wiles and deceit once more. The new treaty between the two has also ceded the northern provinces to the Chokwe, granting them a larger territory and control, looming over the southern state. Lastly, the new treaty has allowed Chokwe goods to go through on Ovambo infrastructure with no tariffs, inspections, or taxation, being protected by Chokwe soldiers. It is clear that a new order has been established with the Chokwe as the dominant power in the region.

PORT SUDAN RAILWAY COMPLETED. Port Sudan, Sudan. The Brazilian naval base obtained from Sudan at the end of the war of independence against Kongo has been long promised a railroad coming from the center of the nation. This supply line would help feed and clothe the Brazilian personnel stationed at the installation and build trade and relations between the two nations. Unfortunately, the outbreak of the war against Sardinia over Tunis diminished the resources available for the construction of the railway. This delayed the project by a number of years, and only now have the Sudanese completed this new railroad. According to some it seems to have come a couple years too late, as the Brazilian post is fairly miniscule and irrelevant. There exist other concerns that the obtaining of a base in Lagos may further remove the need for the ties with Sudan, and some are concerned that the Sultan has missed a chance.

FORMATION OF THE DOMINION OF AUSTRALIA. Sydney, Australia. As pledged after years of negotiation and preparation, the island continent of Australia has been granted status as an autonomous dominion of the British Empire. The younger sister of King Edward III has been crowned the new Queen of Australia, and is highly popular among the masses due to her recent humanitarian tours of the continent over the past few years. The nation has formulated a constitution not unlike the laws which govern Britain, and a new Australian Parliament has been established to rule from the key port and economic hub of Sydney. The Royal Governor, Michael Kelly, has remained in his post for the time being as elections are prepared for 1936, and a census is undertaken to establish the proper jurisdictions and legislature size. The population eagerly anticipates next year’s elections, as they at last begin to forge an semi-autonomous identity of their own.

DEATH OF THE KING OF NEW ZEALAND. Akarana, New Zealand. The old son of King Marcus, who established the monarchy of New Zealand, passed away this year after only reigning for ten years. Under King Joao’s reign, the nation of New Zealand has managed to persevere with minimal effected under the current global depression, while remaining aloof from international politics. With no living progeny of his own, the throne of New Zealand has been passed on to the king’s younger brother, the new King Pablo. The new king, unlike his brother and father, did not serve in the military and has had only administrative service under his belt. While many are optimistic that this will serve him well when dealing with the legislature, there are some in the military who are less than pleased. Nonetheless, King Pablo is still an inherently conservative individual, and it seems likely that he will only continue the policies of those who have preceded him.

NATIVES RILED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. Samabusa, Netherlands. The Dutch have struggled to maintain the slightest foothold in the Pacific after the loss of the pride of their empire to Japan in the Pacific War. It seems that the last tenuous foothold has begun to unravel as the island of New Guinea finds itself in growing upheaval. The local tribes have recently begun to be engaged in larger amounts of tribal warfare, which have disrupted the interior and begun to drag the European settlements along coast into the violence. As tribes have migrated and intermingled in these cities, there is still some sectionalism within the area. This has led to growing unrest and the Dutch garrison remains badly stretched and incapable of being in all location at once. The European citizenry have begun demanding more troops from Europe, but Amsterdam has stated that the situation in Europe is too dire to allow for the transfer of any more soldiers to the Far East.

CONSCRIPT REVOLT IN GUANGXI. Quzhou, Guangxi. As the nation of Guangxi mustered for a planned offensive against the Red Army, they faced a dire threat of their own. Agents of the Red Army and dissatisfied and ill-trained conscripts launched a large-scale mutiny against the main forces of Guangxi. They have come out in full support of the Red Army’s cause and the destruction of imperial rule of all types in China. The revolt was ill-planned though, and the Red Army was not able to come to the direct aid from their positions in Japanese territory. The rebels also lacked any heavy equipment or artillery, but still caused a massive amount of damage. Estimates place the uprising at nearly three hundred thousand in strength, without any proper centralized leadership. The resulting chaos led to the utter destruction of the German expeditionary force and heated engagements with the British. Eventually through the use of armor and airpower, the rebels were crushed, but at a massive cost to Guangxi and its army and economy.
Casualty Lists
Germany: 1 Vy-24 Fighter Squadron, 2 IGL-28 Fighter Squadrons, 1 I-1923 Bomber Squadron, 2 Berlin-type Bomber Squadrons
Guangxi: 102 Conscript Brigades
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: 4 Infantry Brigades, 3 Cavalry Brigades, 5 Artillery Brigades

KOREA RISES IN REBELLION. Pyongyang, Korea. The Japanese situation in China has improved somewhat this year with the entry of Guangxi and Britain into the main land war. Unfortunately, matters have been made worse with the full scale revolt of the Red Army of Korea. With ample guns and munitions stockpiled after years of preparation and saving, they have at last launched their rebellion against the Japanese Empire. The Koreans have succeeded for the most part, overwhelming the Japanese garrison, and fighting a bitter battle with the reinforcements brought in from the Home Islands. The Koreans have established their headquarters in the fortress city of Pyongyang, and have made an effort to seize the colonial capital of Seoul. The Japanese have resisted throughout the peninsula and for the most part been defeated by the rebellion. The remnants of their garrison in Korea has entrenched itself around Seoul, as they fall under siege by the rebel forces. The Red Army of Korea has declared the end of the Japanese is at hand, regardless of the events playing out in the much larger battles to the west.
Casualty Lists
Japan: 31 Conscript Brigades, 3 Infantry Brigades, 3 Cavalry Brigades, 2 Artillery Brigades
Korea: 46 Conscript Brigades, 6 Infantry Brigades, 3 Artillery Brigades (+1 Army Quality)

CHINA STEPS OUT OF THE FIREWORKS WAR. Lanzhou, China. The fighting between the Unified Realm of China and Guangxi has been brought to an end this year as a final peace agreement was signed between the British and the Chinese in Lanzhou. The new treaty has declared peace between the British Empire and the Unified Realm, insisting the withdrawing of Chinese forces to prewar borders in the north. The Chinese have agreed to the treaty after forcing the British to concede official diplomatic recognition for the Unified Realm and its territory. The new treaty has helped the British refocus their efforts, bringing troops back from the border and enabling the opening of a second front upon the Red Army. To the British people, the Fireworks War continues, as the Red Army fights on against both Britain and Japan, and the struggling seems only to be starting a new chapter. Of course before the treaty was signed, there were some final battles, thankfully only a declining amount of small skirmishes, but quite a few were still killed in the war before the conclusion was announced.
Casualty Lists
China: 17 Conscript Brigades
Guangxi: 19 Conscript Brigades

THE RED ARMY REBELLION AND THE FIREWORKS WAR. Harbin, Japan. The vicious fighting between Japan and the Red Army did not abate this year, regardless of the uprising in Korea and the treaty between Britain and China. The Red Chinese have done their best to launch a strong offensive early in the year, and actually achieved substantial gains in the process. Lacking artillery, however, their armor was highly vulnerable to the Japanese guns and tanks, most of which is superior. After only a few weeks of fighting, overwhelming Japanese airpower and firepower brought the Chinese offensive to a bloody halt. Counterattacks soon cut the gains made in half, driving the Red Army out of Manchuria, and pushing back towards Peking. The Japanese made even more gains with an amphibious assault upon the Shangdon Peninsula, and faced little to no resistance beyond minor partisan activity. The Japanese quickly consolidated their beachhead and easily rebuffed Red Army attempts to push back in the area. To add to the Red Army’s woes, after the devastating mutiny which hurt Guangxi and Britain, Guangxi’s army launched a frenzied attack from the south, and by sheer weight of numbers, overwhelmed the Red Army’s positions across the board. Guangxien and British forces have pushed deep into Guangxi all along the front, and by the end of the year, it seems that the Red Army in the south is a hollow shell, and is rapidly disintegrating in front of the Dominion’s hammer blows. At sea, a new front has opened, as the Red Army attempted to build new submarines and send them against Japanese commerce. Of the nine planned, only two were ever completed, as the other seven were destroyed during construction by Japanese air raids. The two that were active managed to only sink a handful of merchant vessels, one was sunk by a Japanese destroyer. The other managed to sink another destroyer before being chased out into the open ocean.

Guangxi: 117 Conscript Brigades, (+1 Army Quality)
Japan: 50 Conscript Brigades, 5 Infantry Brigades, 1 Type-92 Armored Brigade, 1 Akizuku-class Destroyer (+1 Army Quality)
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: 14 Infantry Brigades

CIVIL WAR IN INDIA. Bombay, India. The brutal civil war in India has been a struggle to the death for two ideologically opposed factions. The central government in Bombay has vowed to restore order and preserve the established united Indian nation, while the regionalist alliance has instead pledged to restore freedom to the princes and establish free states across the subcontinent. They have with them the support of the kingdom of Kalinga, and have begun a full offensive on all fronts against the federalists. In the south, where the federalists expected the heaviest blow, the fighting has been the most brutal, but the allies have kept up a slow advance throughout the year, eventually gaining air superiority thanks to Kalinga’s aid. The fighting has been an ugly slog, but so far the tide is definitely in the favor of the alliance. In the north, matters are even more clear, as the allies have managed to break the federalist army totally, and achieve great territorial and military gains throughout the area. The federalists have been badly mauled, despite fairly equal numbers, and have been forced to retreat far to the south before lines were finally stabilized. It seems likely the fight will go on, as the federalists have further consolidated their lines, seeking to hold back the enemy onslaught.
Casualty Lists
India (Federalist): 48 Conscript Brigades, 25 Infantry Brigades, 8 Artillery Brigades, 1 Sim27 Fighter Squadron (+1 Army Quality, +1 Air Force Quality)
India (Regionalist): 46 Conscript Brigades, 22 Infantry Brigades, 2 Cavalry Brigades, 4 Artillery Brigades (+1 Army Quality)
Kalinga: 11 Conscript Brigades, 14 Infantry Brigades, 4 Cavalry Brigades, 3 Artillery Brigades, 1 Sim27 Fighter Squadron (+1 Army Quality, +1 Air Force Quality)

Financial Section​

ARGENTINA PUSHES THROUGH FINANCIAL REFORM. Buenos Aires, Argentina. As the economic situation worsens both globally and locally, the Argentine government has taken some new steps to help stabilize the economy. The steps have been fairly modest when compared to the sweeping reform of other nations, allowing for bank and stock holidays, allowing a better and more fair calculating and hoping to prevent runs. The efforts have been moderately successful as the financial sector has more or less stabilized, but the liberal critics of the current conservative government and President Harkness have alleged that the economic failures have been for the worker, not for the banks. They have called for actual working-class level reform and more employment, particularly as work on the Public Development Fund has begun to taper off to a close, threatening higher unemployment when the project is completed. Similarly, labor is lowly paid, especially in the growing city of Rosario, and people claim that the wealthy have seen more benefits from the government’s actions than those most suffering.

VINLAND COMPLETES STIMULUS PROGRAM. Nya Stockholm, Vinland. While the Vinlandic government of Statsminister Fredrick Gustavski was on its way out this year due to elections, they still had the power to complete the conservative pet project. The stimulus program helped provide financing to industry and other sources to help big business create new jobs and employment for the people of Vinland. The program was noted as a moderate effort to help improve the nation as a whole, but it was seen by many as an attempt to enrich the capitalist partners of the conservative regime. The elections mean the conclusion of this project anyways, and Statsminister Saari has stated his opposition to the program several times. Regardless, it is hoped that it has helped more than harmed, and has certainly kept a number of companies and groups from bankruptcy during its heyday.

COLOMBIA NATIONALIZES PORTION OF OIL INDUSTRY. Bogota, Colombia. The nation of Colombia has still been reeling from the devastating political fallout of the wildfires throughout the eastern part of the nation a few years ago. They have been struggling to rebuild both political support at home and their economic share abroad. Placing the blame for lax security and safety measures upon private entities in Colombia, they announced the nationalization of almost all oil industry relating facilities and production. Specifically this has included the now defunct pipeline and the refinery system at Bolivar. This has mostly affected homegrown businesses, but has also included several conglomerations involving Brazil or Venezuela-based companies. These international companies have lodged their own protests with governments back home, threatening to create a new political divide in South America. The effort has been fairly popular at home, as the government has successfully transferred the blame to the corporations rather than their own regime.

Dear friends, we request permission to adopt your doctrine in order to allow us to modernize our standing armed forces.

OOC

Nevermind on the whole stability thing with factions. Don't like the look of it, so we're not doing it.

@TerrisH: I don’t include irrelevant parties in the election portions of the updates. At the time of writing this OOC section, I haven’t done your elections yet, but just to let you know, if the moralists aren’t relevant, they aren’t going to be in it.

@Sonereal: I think we had a misunderstanding. You can spend both the currently banked EP and the incoming EP if you choose. Just be sure to pay your Domestic Spending costs too.

@Ophorion: The Portuguese royal family is already set as it was. I did use your suggested name for the heir, but that’s it, the rest is out of your control I’m afraid. Your defense plans have been saved, you do not need to resend them.

@Ahigin: I’m a little confused on what you want to do the Equality Tank, as it already has stats of 5-5-8.

If you are not directly mentioned in the update’s first article, I will require a “signature” on the thread acknowledging that your nation has signed the new Treaty of Lisbon forbidding the use and research of chemical weapons. A list of the NPC nations which have signed on will be provided not long after the update.

@christos200: You’re not coming back as Burgundy, it has been made NPC temporarily. May I recommend instead of keeping one of the successor states, a nation like Burundi? I think your talents and attitudes would be far better suited for a militaristic African nation rather than a modern European one.

IMPORTANT FOR ALL PLAYERS: Some of the elements of the update may not be up immediately, as there have been numerous new additions to portions of the front page, in terms of units and modules for unit design. Special Research Projects and results from past projects will also be trickling in throughout the course of the afternoon, as there are a lot of those as well this year. More importantly, I will be on vacation starting July 18, and while the update deadline is a little longer this time, I cannot promise that after that point that I will respond to diplomacy or questions with speed. So, get in timely orders and any questions you may have early. After July 18, I should still be able to respond to PMs at least once a day, so you can send a response that way, but don’t expect a lengthy PM conversation.

Can I join as Australia?
 
No, you can't have Australia.
 
Sorry, I edited my post. Can I be Australia?
 
I believe Ravus did not join in waiting that Australia became independent.
 
Edited my post, I've got a list of about a half dozen people waiting for Australia. Christos, stick with Federalist India.
 
I do not know. Which one of the two Indias in the map is the Federalist? Because, if it is the purple (or whatever this color is), then it is ok by me. But if it is the Green, then instead I will join as the Burundi and loot Africa.
 
@Ahigin: I’m a little confused on what you want to do the Equality Tank, as it already has stats of 5-5-8.

Crap, sorry, I meant to make it 5-6-8 instead of 5-5-8. Just as I said, I had a crazy week. Sorry :)

Should I include the correct redesign order in my next set of orders again?
 
The united states of America GAINED income when Charleston is a scene of bitter street fighting?
 
Economic stats are known to increase or decrease without any apparent logic. Like when I completed the dam, and it did nothing, or odd growth when Brazil was embargoed, etc. Presumably, EQ's equations figure. :p
 
They do figure. Though the case of the USA will be more clear when the stats are posted. That growth is elsewhere in the country, while an additional 30 EP are currently occupied by the UPRA.
