Re: Pope
We approached the Vatican with the purpose of evacuating the Pope and other Catholic cardinals and bishops to the safety of America, away from the nuclear war that is slowly engulfing the continent. We asked the permission of the Italians to send in a small contingency of troops to ensure the Pope's safety. The Italians have not responded to us in any form. We will not stand by idly and potentially allow the Catholic Church to be destroyed. We have contacted our ambassador in Vatican City and have had the Swiss Guards there put on high alert. They will not be allowing ANYONE to enter the Vatican, under penalty of death, until our troops have arrived and the Pope is safely away.
Be warned, anyone who attempts to impede, molest or attack our forces in this mission will be obliterated. Any military units that attempt to block our path will be viewed as hostile and destroyed. You have all been warned.

AMERICANS CLAIM THE MOON. Cape Canaveral, United States of America. As part of the ongoing Apollo program, the United States of America has successfully completed a moonwalk on August 30, 1960. American Buzz Aldrin and his copilot Juan Haverez, were the first men in history to land on the moon and when Aldrin stepped off the rocket, he said on TV broadcast throughout the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for the United States of America. President Eisenhower with support from President-elect Nixon, has claimed the moon as sovereign territory of the United States.
SOUTH AMERICA SUPPORTS ITALY. Brasilia, Brazil. The South American Alliance, particularly Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Bolivia have all pledged support for Italy in the ongoing war in Europe. With no United Nations support in sight, the South American nations have vowed to combat imperialism and tyranny wherever it exists. This entry has sparked a vicious battle in the Atlantic and continuing intervention by the League of African Nations. See the Special section for more details on the ongoing Great European War.
North/Central American News Report
UNITED STATES ELECTIONS. Washington D.C., United States of America. For the first time since the 1920s, the conservative Democratic Party has won the Presidential elections under President-elect Richard Nixon. With a split in policy between President Eisenhower of the Republican Party and Lyndon Johnson of the Progressive Party, neither of the moderate political parties were capable of winning the election. Furthermore, much of the liberal vote was stolen by the rise of the Socialist Party, playing on the Hispanic vote in many of the new states. Young Fidel Castro, an up and coming Socialist from Cuba, has unified both the old Socialist party and the multitude of smaller Hispanic ones. The new Unified Socialists of America have called for extensive welfare reforms along the lines of Scandinavia and closer ties with the Soviet Union.
South American News Report
CONSERVATIVES WIN VICTORY IN CHILE. Santiago, Chile. In a surprising move, the pro-United States Liberty Party has won a resounding victory in Chiles elections. The newly established political party hope for a reentry into the Atlantic Security Agreement as well as increased trade with North and South America. The brutal anti-American propaganda recently arriving from Brazil and Argentina has once more turned Chile toward the United States, as has South American involvement in the Great European War.
European News Report
GERMAN ELECTIONS CONTINUE DESPITE WAR. Berlin, Germany. Even as more cities succumb to nuclear fire, Germanys elections have continued. Chancellor Goring has been reelected in a massive majority of the German vote. Despite deprivation and devastation of land, the German people still vocalize massive support for the war, hoping to regain honor lost in previous struggles.
SCOTTISH ELECTIONS. Edinburgh, Scotland. The 1960 Scottish elections have had surprising results. The Commonwealth Party, a long-time, politically minor organization, has won a major electoral victory. The Commonwealth Party calls for application to join the Union of Commonwealth States, and unification with the government in London. Harsh economic times and the growing instability of Europe have caused many people to respect and admire the UCS and its achievements. Many hope for unification with the rest of the Commonwealth within the next three years.
REUNIFICATION OF GREECE. Athens, Greece. With joyous celebrations of victory, the fledgling new Greek republic has assimilated the island of Crete. After struggling for years under communism and foreign occupation, the Greeks now once more have the chance to build a new nation. Despite the victory, problems remain on the horizon. With war still engulfing Europe and hundreds of political movements, Greeces future is far from certain.
African/Middle Eastern News Report
ELECTIONS CANCELLED IN ABYSSINIA. Addis Abba, Abyssinia. The king and his Cabinet have taken full control of the Abyssinian government. Military law has been declared throughout Abyssinia as threats of instability and unrest continue. Tribal interests, stirred by Islamic missionaries, have caused several incidents of violence in Sudan, though Abyssinian military forces have viciously retaliated against any group foolish enough to attack another.
OLYMPICS HELD IN BAGHDAD. Baghdad, Dar-al-Islam. With Europe embroiled in nuclear warfare and the world looking towards war, in Dar-al-Islam, a variety of competitors have met and participated in a variety of contests. Like the earlier Berlin Olympics, the Baghdad Olympics have been a gala, nation-sponsored affair. Athletes from Asia and the Americas have competed, and most notoriously the Soviet Union. The Chileans swept many of the contests to much surprise, though Scandinavia won three gold medals as well. Many people wonder if the next Olympics will be held at all with much of the world lying in ruins.
MEXICAN-SOKOTO WAR. Heavy fighting has continued in western Africa as the Mexicans break through the final Sokotan defenses. With their armies in shambles, the Sokotans have surrendered to the Mexican Free State. King Ademola II has fled to neighboring Liberia, pleading for shelter and support. Mexicans everywhere have celebrated this victory and many call for further advances against Monrovia.
Asian/Pacific News Report
VIETNAM ANNOUNCES NEW PLAN. Saigon, Vietnam. The government of Vietnam has announced the groundbreaking for the Black River Dam, a massive hydroelectric plant to be the first of several. The dam is to provide electricity for much of northern Vietnam as well as for segments of the proposed electric railway. Many Vietnamese politicians have grand hopes for the new program.

SPECIAL: Great European War
BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC. With over forty assorted divisions and squadrons being deployed from South America to the fighting in Europe, elements of the Kriegsmarine and the South African Navy moved to intercept the convoys. The main engagement was fought at sea when scout planes from the Italian Navy spotted the South Africans moving to intercept. After brutal combat in the skies, the Italian planes, armed with air to air missiles, smashed the bombers and fighters of the South African task group. With their air forces destroyed, the South Africans quickly moved to withdraw, but limited Italian pursuit sunk a carrier and assorted cruisers. The surface fleet was not the only gauntlet the convoys needed to run. German and South African submarines, based out of the Canary Islands, struck at the convoys as they moved to enter the Strait of Gibraltar. Several transports were sunk, but overall the South American forces deployed made it to Europe intact. Foreign observers believe the freshly arrived forces will be deployed at some point in 1961.
Casualty List
Germany: 2 Wolfpacks
South Africa: 1 Carrier, 2 Cruiser Groups, 1 Destroyer Group, 1 Wolfpack
Italy: 2 Cruiser Groups
Brazil: 2 Infantry Divisions
France: 1 Destroyer Group
Argentina: 1 Destroyer Group
FRENCH FRONT. Italian and Free French forces launched a major offensive into southern France after using a nuclear weapon to destroy the regional German headquarters at Marseilles. With the command in disarray, the Italian and French militaries broke German and Iberian lines, driving deep into southern France. The city of Vichy has fallen to the French, and European League forces have threatened to cut Iberia off from the Germans. Basque and Castilian military forces have held the French advance as their supply lines grow shorter, but many fear that with the arrival of fresh troops from the Americas, the front will soon collapse.
Casualty List
Germany: 4 Infantry Division, 2 Armored Divisions
Castile: 3 Infantry Divisions
Euskadi: 2 Infantry Divisions
Norway: 1 Infantry Division
Italy: 1 Marine Division, 1 Armored Division
France: 5 Infantry Divisions
ALPS FRONT. A nuclear attack similar to the one on Marseilles was launched outside the ruins of Milan, where German forces also were believed to have established a headquarters. However, with fears of devastation like in France, the headquarters was moved merely hours before the attack. The Germans, Serbs, and Latvians on the Alps Front managed to repulse the Italian advances, and a stalemate has continued in the region.
Casualty List
Germany: 2 Infantry Divisions, 1 Mountain Division
Serbia: 1 Infantry Division
Latvia: 1 Infantry Division
Italy: 2 Militia Divisions, 3 Infantry Divisions, 2 Mountain Divisions, 1 Motorized Division
AMERICAN INCURSION. The United States of America launched a major operation to remove the Pope from Rome to safety in the United States, the nation with the largest Catholic population in the world. Italy moved forces into the Vatican to hold back the American move, but the Swiss Guard managed to hold the city until American helicopters arrived from an off-coast carrier based out of Andalusia. Pope John XXIII has been evacuated to Washington D.C. in order to wait out the war before determining the next move of the Catholic Church, particularly considering the destruction of Rome.
AIRBORNE AND NUCLEAR WARFARE. In the skies war has continued to be a brutal struggle for supremacy. Though Italy maintained air superiority for most of the early part of the year, the development of air to air missiles within Germany has allowed for them to contest the superiority. With aid from their allies, the Luftwaffe have held their own against the Italians and even managed to strike at some of Italys more southern cities. Shortly after Operation Archangel, the removal of the Pope from Rome, the city was struck by a daring German raid which dropped a nuke and leveled the city. The raid had heavy casualties, but the Italian successor to Mussolini was killed in the blast, leaving the remains of the Italian nation in the control of General Alfredo Guzzoni, the head of the Italian military. Other German raids hit the cities of Naples and Palermo, striking across the Mediterranean Sea from Castile. The European League managed to hit the German city of Frankfurt, when a French partisan convoy was intercepted in the city. Rather than losing the bomb to German authorities the partisans detonated it, killing them and destroying the city. The bomb had a far greater yield than previous weapons and many believe this weapon to have been a hydrogen bomb. An Italian raid group managed to shatter Castilian air defenses and penetrate deep into northern Iberia. However, a navigation error and strong surface to air defenses resulted in the bomb being dropped on Saragossa rather than its target of Burgos. The King has vowed to fight on regardless of Italian terrorism.
Casualty List
Germany: 6 Jet Fighter Squadrons, 2 Bomber Squadrons
Norway: 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Latvia: 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Serbia: 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Castile: 1 Infantry Division, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Italy: 1 Cruiser Group, 1 Destroyer Group, 1 Wolfpack, 8 Jet Fighter Squadrons, 1 Bomber Squadron

@Vanguard, your economic plans have yet to show benefits due to turmoil within the ASA, a closing of markets in Europe. Youve had good plans, its just that the global economy isnt cooperating.
Everyone has researched Vertical Landing and Take off, so it has been removed from the Tech Tree. Modern Research Techniques has also been removed.
@everyone, I have been given some questions regarding projects. I guess in an odd way, I have made a liar of myself. You can do projects, such as the 10-year plan currently ongoing in the Soviet Union or the Autobahn Project in the CSA. Just tell me what you want to do, and Ill tell you the cost and time.

The Turan Ummah is officially declaring that the recognized law of Terra Nullius must come into play when colonizing empty, uninhabited celestial bodies such as the Moon, Asteroids, or the various planets in the solar system. This makes the most sense, as this has been the law invoked when colonizing territory in the past and was in fact crafted for issues such as this one.
International relations between state entities ought not be backed up by force but by legal and just relations between nations. This is the reason international law was established, and this is how this world has kept from decent into barbarity. It is our common humanity that binds us, and it is the common and universal yearning for law, order, and prosperity that must keep us that way.
The law backing up the colonization of uninhabited and empty lands extends back more 4 centuries, and all empires the world over have respected it since its inception. The United States even made use of it during the colonization of Australia and this law governed the very colonization of North America that gave birth the USA. These laws, which have their basis in the works of Emerich de Vattel, John Locke and the School of Salamanca, have governed the conduct of international states, and they must continue too.
Thusly, we recognize the claims of the United States to sovereignty over land that their citizens have entered and have displayed an ability to use/cultivate-pursuant to already established international law-and we welcome with open arms the dawning of a new era for humanity that involves the colonization and exploration of outer space!

The Turan Ummah should check their history before stating what laws a nation has followed. Terra Nullius is an old English law, from the 1700s-1800s used when the English colonized Australia, not ourselves. They used it as a means to take land from the aborigines, stating that since they were not cultivating the land, it was thence forth the property of Englishman.
Here in America, we take what we can through force of arms and diplomatic treachery (see: Native Americans). Were we to go around following all old antiquated laws from that period of English history, it would be illegal for a woman to be astride a man during sex, nor would they be allowed to vote, only those who owned property and had gone to college could participate in politics, and only monarchs would be allowed to rule our country. We kindly decline your request to follow such out of date methods. While we cannot cultivate the Moon now, we have claimed it so that we may do so in the future unimpeded by marauding outsiders.
