Council of Nations News Report

NEW CHAIRMAN ELECTIONS AHEAD. Stockholm, Scandinavia. The collapse of the Council of Nations in Switzerland seems to have been only a temporary respite for the diplomats of the Council. With the conclusion of the war several new nominees have emerged for the Chairmanship, all espousing different views for the world after the recent conclusion to the war. Both Germany and Russia have returned to the Council's table to help with the globalization of the organization. The canidates are:

Robert Taft (USA): Anti-alliance system canidate, very vocal against the great alliances he believes caused the war to begin with. Main goal is to restrict the power of large alliances across the globe
Molotov (USSR): Anti-imperialism, pro-communist, wants the world to reform its treatment of the proletariat. Main goal is to reestablish communist reputation globally.
Ayatullah Khan (Afghanistan): Prince of Afghanistan, pro-Islam, but also a hands-off canidate for Council of Nations on domestic affairs of nations. Main goal is to protect Islamic interests within the Council
Fransico Franco (Spain): Ex-military leader, pro-imperialism and heavily pro-European League. Main goal is to support European continental unification.

SPECIAL: End of the War!

NEW NATIONS ESTABLISHED. Victory of the Allies over the Common Front International has led to the recognition of several nationalist groups across Europe. The separate conference between Dar-al-Islam and Serbia led to recognition of some Serbian possessions and Islamic forces moved into other portions of the Balkans to create the fundamentalist states of Albania and Bosnia. Elsewhere in Europe plebscites were held to determine the fates of Austria and the Netherlands. The former remained part of the Second Reich, as shattered Austrian nationalist feelings did not survive the partition of their old Empire. However, Dutch nationalists ran a successful campaign and the nation of Holland has been established under Council of Nations supervision.

SOUTH AFRICA UNITED. Pretoria, South Africa. Having gained the largest amount of territory in the persecution of the war and having established a working democratic government, the Republic of South Africa has experience a minor economic boom in the year following the conclusion of the war. Fuelled by exploitation of new resources and the diamond rush, the South African economy seems to be on the rise. Domestically however, the new government has seen the creation of the Fascist, Liberal, Communist, and Conservative Parties all vying for power. So far the Liberals have the lead in political power, but communist influence grows daily, pushing out more conservative elements. (+1 Private Enterprise)

BRITISH ISLANDS IN RECESSION. Dublin, Eire. The cost of waging the war on Germany and the CFI has become apparent in the British Islands. The cost of mantaining the military apparatus of the British has wieghed upon the economies of the British island nations. Caused by the return of veterans from the field, unemployment has risen as women refuse to leave the jobs they took in the absence of the men at war. (-1 Base IC for Eire, Scotland, and Wales)

NIPPON WAVERING. Tokyo, Nippon. With the end of the war, the Communist Party has gained extensive strength in Nipponese politics. Having gained credit for ending the war and drastically changing the Nipponese economic field, the Communists have become more powerful than ever before. Despite everything, the communists have begun showing open fractures in their field as the party divides into different factions leaning from liberals to the furthest left of the commies. Despite the growth of Nipponese influence in the Indian Ocean, the radical economic shift taken by the communists has drastically reduced the economic productivity of the nation. (-2 Base IC for Nippon)

FRANCE COLLAPSING. Paris, France. The past twenty years have been devastating to France and the French people. First devastated by the effects of the Communist War, then wrecked by its loss of colonies as they were taken by Great Powers, and just as it recovered it entered the devastating Second Global War. With conscription leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths, France has had the largest casualty percentage out of all the warring nations. Exacerbating the situation is the famine which has plagued the nation as its fields were overrun by the opposing armies. It is estimated that 50% of those remaining in France are starving or close to starving. However, this is not as many people as it would sound. Foreign census bureaus estimate that France’s population is now 15% of what it was in 1910. The most extreme example of this population decline are the empty cities of France. Cities like Caen, Brest, and Lyon have become virtual ghost towns as its inhabitants have fled the war and destruction. Despite the heavy damage done to the nation in the war, Marshal Petain retains his absolute control over the French government. The military has so far supported his regime as French tanks level riotous barricades in Paris. (-5 Base IC for France; Global Reputation moves to Disliked)

GERMANY STANDS STRONG. Berlin, Germany. Despite great defeats in battle and the great invasion across the Rhine, Germany has retained much of its pre-war holdings and power. Though German reparations to the Allied powers are high in cost, Germany has retained most of its industrial strength and military capacity. The Kaiser has managed to keep the vital resources of Central Africa and the even more vital industries of Alsace-Lorraine. Though the loss of Amsterdam and Holland did lightly effect the German industrial strength, the effect is minor and without consequence. Finally, since Germany did not fully mobilize until the end of the war and never conscripted like other powers, the nation’s economy has managed to avoid the worst of the recession affecting much of Europe. (-2 Base IC for Germany)

IBERIA RESURGENT. Madrid, Spain. Spain’s first great victory since the conquest of Mexico has resounded through Iberia as the Spanish have gained a resurgence of pride. The annexation of the French Pyrennes has given Spain a vital boost to their resource production and the arrival of masses of French immigrants has given a population boom to man the new industries created by the war. Furthermore the loss of Angola has forced Portugal to rely on Spanish markets and resources to develop Portuguese industries. Portugal has therefore joined the European recession while Spain’s economy has grown. (-2 Base IC for Portugal; +3 Base IC for Spain)

ITALY VICTORIOUS. Rome, Italy. The Treaty of Munich has given Italy the largest amount of reparations of all the victorious nations while gaining only a small amount of territory from France. However, the German Operation Bismarck left most of northern Italy in ruins, devastating Italian industrial strength and the peacetime economy. Population losses have caused immigration from Italian North Africa where a lack of jobs has caused the population to migrate to the factories of Milan, where a lack of people has open many new opportunities for work. Furthermore, the heavy casualties sustained by conscripts in the Alps campaign has greatly effected Italian home life, though victory has prevent a dissent growth like that suffered in France. Through time Italy should be able to recover from the recession to move to greater glories. (-1 Base IC for Italy)

To France
From Eire:

Now that this war is over we cannot stand idly by and watch your people starve. Aid will be sent in the form of food and medical care under the conditions that it will be distributed directly to your people by our people instead of through your government which to be honest we do not trust at this time.
 
OOC: Damn, this is why I should refresh.

To Eire
From Nippon

Mind coordinating with us?
 
Finish of with Chile and then attack brazil! Use all money for 1/5 for p enterpeize and rest for inf! Co ordinae with all offences!
 
To Brazil
From Argentina

We have defeated you before. We shall defeat you again. We had planned on returning some of the land you just attacked. (honestly, ask EQ. It was in my orders) It would have been free for your nation. You have chosen war, and war it shall be. However, as we are generous. Withdraw from Argentina and Bolivia at once. We shall still give you the land we would have previously as a gesture of friendship. We shall make the other land de-militarized, and hold plebescites with the people, of which nation they would rather join. This is your last chance of peace. Do you accept?

TO CHILE
FROM ARGENTINA

You have fought valiantly. You have put up large resistance, but are now almost defeated. Surrender now, and you shall regain most of the land we currently hold. Do not surrender, and we shall hold no mercy, and the nation of Chile will cease to exist. We give you a chance at salvation. If you reject it, the people can only hold it against you.

TO PORTUGAL
FROM ARGENTINA

We mourn the loss of your king. He was a great man, and thankfully lived to see peace return. He fought the war throughout, and shall be remembered for all he did for the world and Portugal.

TO PRESIDENT GARDNER
FROM ARGENTINA

Congratulations on your ascendancy to rule of the most powerful nation in the world. I hope that you will be more friendly and reasonable than your predecessor. I implore you to cease all aid to the Brazillians and Chileans.

OOC: Nice update.\
 
What are you saying?!?!?!?!
 
To Nippon
From Eire:

Well if France agrees to our conditions we see no reason why not.
 
To Belgium and Holland:
From Italy:

We invite you into the European League.

ooc:
Aren't Romania and Poland in the EL now?
 
I'd like to say that the alliance section has yet to be updated mostly. Also if possible we could do the update Monday and get back up and rolling.
 
If there is to be an uupdate monday, can I get a response from Chile?
 
To France
From Italy

Italy will temporarily suspend the payment of reparations from France on the condition that France use the money to try and rebuild its economy and infrastructure, and feed its people and not military spending.
 
To: Argentina
From: Chile

We will accept peace at prewar borders. We will accept no more loss of Chilean territory. We will fight to the end and bring as many of you as we can take should you refuse.
 
From Argentina
To Chile

We currently own more than 50% of your nation (shouldnt that affect their economy?). You are in no position to make demands. We simply want a path to Tierra Del Fuego and the Chilean section of Tierra Del Fuego. It is sparsely populated, and we are prepared to offer you 1 IC for it.
Chile.PNG


If you accept that, you can accept peace with paying reparations to all nations this war has harmed. Finally, Chile will have to return to being a democracy. We do not care about the ruler, so long as it is of the people.
 
EQ France doesnt seem to be around... can we get a response to our aid proposal?
 
To: Argentina
From: Chile

We see no choice but to agree.

To: Eire
From: France

Your aid is greatly appreciated.

OOC: Orders in today (My time)
 
OOC: Should it not be contested, I, with full dedication to familiarize myself with "The World Turned Upside Down" (I have read the first 20 pages) and with full dedication to familiarize myself with the methods employed by the Civfanatics' forum NES-players, and finally (and tiringly) with full dedication to the proper execution of the playing of my part, do hereby establish myself as Farow's heir, so to speak. That is, he was removed for inactivity - makes the lands up for grabs, no?

Semilong post short, I'm playing as of now as Germany (as long as that's alright).
