GamezNES - The Setting Sun

I'm pulling out because I have no clue what's going on now and I am very inactive at this time. Cheers!

I am afraid that I lack the mental capacity to possibly continue this game which is why I must quit. Maybe some day I will have the mental understanding to play a NES.

Hopefully everyone else can get their orders in nice an on time.

Cute. Thankfully, France is in it to win it.

Expressing my interest in joining the game. Checking my options.

No further orders will be accepted, unless you have a really good excuse.

This doesn't mean the update is progressing well, because I haven't been able to get into it/keep getting distracted. Damn you Nuclear kid and your awesome NES taking up all my time!

I can wait for your update Gamez, take however long it needs for it to be finished up.

My apologies to you all, but as I am currently sick, the update is yet further delayed. I hope to get it out this weekend.

No rush. I'll pick a country once the update is finished.

Hmmm... did the illness screw up with your plans?

Just wondering how far has the update gone.

SPACE RACE HEATS UP. Brazzaville, France. The Space Race intensified this year after the United States formed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Axis formed the Axis Space Agency. NASA and the ASA join the Soviet Space Agency as three major space agencies in existence. Sweden also formed a small agency this year, which became a major headline in Germany, who seem notably absent from this new power race. There was continued talk in the German Parliament to form a Space Agency, and there is rising anxiety among the German populace that Germany is falling behind. However, we still have not seen a successful launch of even a satellite into space, although there are rumors that the Soviets and Axis are very close to launching something.


ANNEXATION OF GREECE. Athens, Turkey. The Turkish Federation took advantage of the unstable situation in Greece this year, and used their de facto control of Greece to annex the nation into the Turkish Federation this year. However, the move did not come without some problems, as anti-Turkish sentiment exploded into civil violence. Similar feelings surfaced in Bulgaria, and guerillas began popping up in both the regions. The Turks managed to end the violence and stabilize the regions, and fortunately they put them down before the start of the conflict in Serbia. The Greek Army was also easily integrated into the Turkish Army, since it was essentially under the command of Turkey already. (-2 Infantry, Turkish Federation)

ITALIAN KING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. Rome, Italy. King Umberto II of Italy was diagnosed with cancer this year, and doctors have given him only a couple years to live. In response, the Italian government repealed the longstanding Salic Law, and Princess Maria was declared to be the legal successor to the king. However, journalists have noted that Italy’s powers have been greatly weakened, it really doesn’t matter who Italy’s monarch is, so the change is mostly just for ceremonial purposes.

WAR IN SERBIA. Belgrade, Serbia. Tensions over Serbia erupted into war late this year, after a pro-Turkish coup in Belgrade failed, but not without sending the country into chaos. Turkey, seeing the instability, invaded Serbia under the guise of restoring order. However, the Serbs generally united to combat the invaders, and the Turks encountered much more resistance than expected. However, Turkish Air superiority over Serbia enabled them to eventually deliver a decisive victory over the opposing Serbian forces, taking light causalities while inflicting heavy casualties on the Serb Army. However, Italy, expecting such a move by Turkey, intervened on behalf of Serbia, and sent forces into northwest Greece and Serbia. The Turks, needing to combat this wider front, were forced to withdraw from their attack on Belgrade to deal with this much wider threat. With a weakened Turkish attack, the combined Serb and Italian force managed to deliver a decisive victory over the Turkish forces near Belgrade and turn them into retreat. At the end of the year, Turkey has been driven almost entirely out of Serbia, but they have managed to stifle the Italian advance in Greece. The air war has been mostly back and forth since the entrance of Italy, with no side having clear air superiority to begin focused bombing campaigns.

ACCIDENT IN PARIS ARMORY. Paris, France. A large ammunition factory in Paris was destroyed in an explosion and fire this year, causing some logistical trouble for France this year. Thirty-seven people were killed in the blast, which sent projectiles in all directions and also caused a large fire. Fortunately, the factory was in a somewhat secluded area, and police were able to evacuate the few small surrounding and well distanced factories before the entire facility was destroyed when the fire when it hit a large storage area in the building, causing a chain reaction of explosions that nearly leveled the building. Consul De Gaulle stated that he has reason to believe the attacks were perpetrated by socialist subversives hired by the United States, with the aim of striking terror in the heart of innocent French civilians. The Consul has reaffirmed his commitment to weeding out the enemies of fascism within France, and without. (-1 EP, French Empire)

ITALIAN CULTURE IN BALKANS. Tirana, Italy. The Kingdom of Italy has been promoting Italian culture in the Balkan Peninsula this year. Students in Bosnia and also Serbia before the war started are urged to attend Italian universities, as part of the “One Empire Project.” They learned a variety of subjects, varying from economics to engineering, Italian to math. No one is certain what Italy is hoping to achieve through exporting its culture throughout the Balkans, though.

ELECTIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Dutch Empire underwent a change this year, as a new party was elected into power. The Oranjist Party, led by Christofoor De Vries, took a majority of seats in the Dutch Parliament, and Jan de Quay was ousted from power. Now the Prime Minister, De Vries has promised a new era or prosperity for the Dutch Empire, and has renewed the vigor of the Dutch people. If he can deliver, however, yet remains to be seen. (+Stability, Approval, Dutch Empire)

BALTIC TRADE LEAGUE. Stockholm, Sweden. The nations of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Germany entered into a trade compact this year, in what is commonly called the Baltic Trade League. The new agreement has thus far helped to boost trade in the region, mostly to the benefit of Germany and Sweden, but also to Denmark, Estonia, and Lithuania, which have all increased exports to the other states in the agreement. However, it has allowed all of the economies to become a bit more specialized. (+EP, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania)

FARMS TO FACTORIES IN PORTUGAL. Libson, Portugal. The Portuguese government continued its reforms this year, taking a number of larger farming villages and turning them into industrial centers. As the farms were modernized, some workers were freed to work in the factories. However, most of the manpower has come from immigrants from surrounding areas. The factories have been producing mostly rail related material, and ammunition/weapons. However, some factories have been built to produce other products. Ultimately, this project has worked out much better for Portugal then last years projects relating to collectivizing the national agriculture. (+EP in Portugal)

SPAIN INVESTS DOMESTICALLY. Barcelona, Spain. The Spanish government initiated three projects this year. One project consisted of the construction of hydroelectric dams for fresh water and electricity, and was actually started the previous year. Spain also invested into domestic industry, notably the automobile industry, and the third project was a massive road construction project, intended to better connect all the towns and cities in the country. Also, a small domestic tax cut was initiated, which has helped to boost domestic spending, and provided a small boost to the economy, and also moved the country into a better position on the Laffer curve, though so far no major increases in income have been seen from it. However, things are improving in Spain. (+EP in Spain)


BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Little Rock, United States. In a landmark decision, the United States Supreme Court voted 5-4 to overturn the longstanding decision in Plessy v. Ferguson legalizing segregation in the United States school system. However, the integration of the school districts did not come easily, as in many cases there were huge riots or protests. However, the private schools in the Southern United States have seen huge boosts in admissions, as many white parents are pulling their children in a refusal to have them attend school with the black kids. In one case, at Little Rock Central High School, only nine black students needed to be admitted into the school. Segregationist mobs supported by the Arkansas National Guard block all entrances to the school from the children. In response, federal troops were sent in to enforce the integration of the school. Although the schools remain integrated for now, black students are often subjugated to intense bullying and often much worse. Regardless, the civil rights movement is only growing stronger in the United States.

ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT IN JAMAICA. Kingston, Jamaica. The Jamaican populace seems to be growing discontent with the new state of affairs for their country. The initial excitement has worn off about independence from the Commonwealth, and now Jamaica sits as another protectorate in what appears to be a growing American Empire. Many Jamaicans are upset about their country essentially just changing British oppressors for American, and demand complete and total independence from the United States. (-Stability in Jamaica)

KENNEDY CALLS FOR RACIAL EQUALITY. Washington, United States. President Kennedy, in his State of the Union, called for increased racial equality. Taken to his speech, "All human beings are equal, all Americans should be united in our universal struggle against the tyranny of Fascism and Communism, which threaten our nation, I call on the South to do the right thing, and pass anti-segregation laws and give equal opportunity to Americans of all colors and creeds.” Little is known whether this actually will do much to effect the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.

NEW INDUSTRIAL REGULATIONS IN CANADA. Ottawa, Canada. The Canadian government has reworked its industrial regulatory framework this year. Tighter restrictions were placed upon pollution, but in exchange, regulations have been loosened on the actual operations of the factory. The entire system also received a massive rewording, making is much simpler to understand and much more straight forward. So far, the changes have made no significant impact on the economy in Canada.

CRACKDOWN IN NICARAGUA SPELLS CATASTROPHE. Managua, Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan government’s attempts to put down the socialist insurrection backfired massively, when soldiers sent to destroy the rebels instead joined them. As a result, the rebels have only intensified. As the country descended into civil war, the rebels suddenly found themselves armed with many new Soviet made weapons, only strengthening them. As government forces launched attacks into rebel territory, the war only intensified as they were repulsed. As a result, rebels have managed to take control over the western half of the country. (-1 Infantry, Nicaragua; +Communist Nicaragua)

QUEBECOIS SEEK RECONCILIATION. Montreal, Canada. After a rather turbulent year last year, the mood in Quebec seems to have shifted. A new group has formed, and is pushing for a renewed peace with Canada and the United States, and has condemned the totalitarian nature if the French Empire. Although there is still a strong Quebecois independence movement, it seems to have tapered off from the extreme of last year, and most Quebecois favor the United States to France. Also, most Quebecois are content with being a part of Canada, which is otherwise more British, then French.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR VISITS WASHINGTON. Washington, United States. The German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, visited Washington this year, to meet with President Kennedy. With a variety of issues at hand, it is expected that they discussed the Axis of Nations, as well as the Comintern, both becoming clear threats to both the superpowers. The move signals increased relations between the two nations in the coming years, and some are hoping for a German-American alliance to curb the growth of the Axis of Nations, and keep the Comintern at bay.

SOUTH AMERICA​

COLOMBIA EXPLODES INTO CIVIL WAR. Bogota, Colombia. Civil war erupted in Colombia this year, after Colombian security agents reportedly bombed a Falangist rally in southeast Colombia. Although Colombian and American officials promptly blamed France for the attacks, the Colombian people blamed the government and the Americans. Falangist movements quickly gained extreme popularity across the nation, but especially in the Colombian Amazon and the Los Llanos region. When the movements tried to seize power, the Colombian government stopped them and martial law was declared, as the Colombian military is staunchly anti-Falangist and pro-United States. In response, uprisings began to sprout all over the country, only to be made worse when some of the Colombian army defected to the Falangist side. In the ensuing fighting, the military began to lose control, and eventually the rebels began to threaten Bogota. Seeing an opportunity to assist this friendly rebellion, France and it’s South American allies began to send supplies and advisors to the rebels, who helped them quickly get organized and form a basic command structure. The National Falangist Council of Colombia has been formed and placed in charge of all Falangist forces in Colombia, and has petitioned for international recognition as the legitimate government of Colombia, and also entrance in the Axis. However, the tides changed with the arrival of a CAS coalition, committed to end the fighting in Colombia and restore order. In some of the most brutal fighting seen since end of the Second World War, CAS forces led by the United States relieved Bogota of its siege and began to drive the suddenly well-organized rebels out of the Bogota vicinity and the Los Llanos savannah. The United States also began to operate heavy border guards in controlled regions, especially along the controlled Venezuelan border, to end the some of the flow of supplies to Falangist forces. However, since the rebels control a large portion of the Colombian border with the Axis, it has done little to weaken them. The CAS peacekeepers also began to occupy controlled Colombian cities, in order to keep them from rebelling, but at the cost of furthering the grip of martial law on the nation, making the CAS and Government even more unpopular among the Colombian people. The rebel forces are far from defeated, though, as large numbers of rebels have taken to the mountains and rainforests, and continue to resist from there, and have taken with them a large number of refugees fearful of Coalition rule, and also supporters of the movement. (-6EP, -13MP, -1 Stability, -2 Infantry, Colombia; -2 Infantry, United States)

IDLE HAND SOCIETY IN VENEZUELA. Caracas, Venezuela. The new Venezuelan government spent some resources this year forming what is only known as the Idle Hand Society. Not much is known about the movement, but it has become an integral part of Venezuelan society. The movement is naturally pan-Hispanic, and the movement has spreading all across Latin America, joining literally dozens of falangist movements in South and Central America.

CHILEAN ELECTION BRINGS ANTI-CAS COALITION INTO POWER. Santiago, Chile. Recent Chilean elections have brought an anti-CAS movement into power. The movement, wary of Argentina, is distinctly pro-Chile and opposes both the CAS, which it views as a group of American puppets, and the Axis, which it views as a group of French puppets. The new government has proved to be quite popular with the citizenry, and the government has promised reforms to modernize the country and build a strong military capable of defending newly found Chilean neutralty. (+Stability, +Approval, Chile)

MORE TROUBLE IN BOLIVIA. Sucre, Bolivia. Things in Bolivia went from bad to worse when a local corruption scandal initiated a firestorm across the country. Falangist and socialist alike used it as an excuse to paint the current administration as corrupt and willingly keeping Bolivia or its proletarian down at the behest of its neighbors or bourgeoisie. However, so far the government has been able to avoid further bloodshed since the assassination last year, but it is looking like Bolivia might be the next big civil war in South America. (-Approval in Bolivia)

PERU JOINS THE CAS. Lima, Peru. The nation of Peru joined the Coalition of American States this year, out of fears that growing Falangist influence in the region was a threat to Peru and the region as a whole. The nation also readily contributed forces to the peacekeeping mission in Colombia. However, some falangist leaders have noted that this is just a further sign that the South American governments are out of touch with their people and a pan-Latin American movement will eventually prevail.

EMBARGO OF VENEZUELAN OIL. Caracas, Venezuela. The war in Colombia came with an unexpected consequence for Venezuela, as the United States has led the entire CAS as well as its other allies in the region to issue a full embargo of Venezuelan oil. The move has greatly upset Venezuela’s oil industry, as American and Canadian oil has essentially replaced the Venezuelan oil in the region. Venezuela has struggled to find new buyers for its oil, and the newly found economic recession has caused some resentment among the lower classes to the new government. (-EP in Venezuela)

ASIA​

CHINESE MODERNIZE ARMY. Beijing, China. The People’s Liberation Army has been given a facelift, according to the Chairman. New training measures have been enacted, and some of the irregular forces have been shaped into regular infantry. Also, several new weapons designs are being integrated into the army, most notably a modified version of the Soviet Union’s AK-47. Also, Soviet Advisers have come and begun to shape a new Chinese special operations force in line with the Soviets Spetznaz forces. Finally, the officer corps has begun to modernize their tactics, designing them to defeat the types of forces seen in recent wars on similar terrain as to what China has.

THAI REBELLION ENDS. Bangkok, Thailand. The guerilla campaign in Thailand came to an abrupt end this year thanks to the efforts France’s Biological Peacekeeping Department. The fighting started when French forces launched a guerilla campaign against Thai rebels, and managed to deliver a series of defeats upon the rebels, disorganizing them and massively decrease the amount of territory they held. Then, France demanded a full surrender, and in exchange for full amnesty. Very few of the rebels accepted the offer, and then France revealed the full extent of her power in Thailand. A massive chemical warfare campaign was waged on the remaining rebel outposts in northern Thailand, using various lethal gases, killing almost everybody in the region, though some rebels had obtained gas masks. Once the chemicals had been given time to wear off, France simply moved in, killed the remaining rebels, and burned all the bodies. The few surviving civilians were detained. All rebels that surrendered before the biological campaign were granted promised amnesty. (-3 Infantry, -1 Armored, -1 Artillery, French Empire; -1 Infantry, -2 Irregulars, +3 Stability, Thailand)

ARAB FEDERATION ON THE EDGE. Jerusalem, Arab Federation. The war between Turkey and Italy has put the Arab Federation on edge. The country has been placed on a war footing, and the military has begun to stockpile resources. Also, anti-Turkish sentiment has been exploited by the monarchy to rally support for the nation. Ba’athist rallies have been held across the nation, and some radicals are even calling that Arabia intervenes in the conflict on behalf of Italy, to destroy the Federations one true enemy. The government, seeing Turkey as the aggressor in Serbia, has begun to construct some defenses in northern Iraq and Syria, and has also instructed the army to punish Turkey if they try to gain “retribution” for the border incident last year. (+1 Stability, Arab Federation)

IRANIANS PROTEST BRITISH INFLUENCE. Tehran, Iran. Iranians seem to have grown further discontented with substantial British influence, with a new series of protests to British rule this year. The Shah, under the support of the United Kingdom, has authorized lethal force to put down the protesters, and has thus far managed to keep them at bay. However, a growing reactionary movement is also emerging in Iran, supportive of the Shah, calling the protesters subversives, and claiming they are led by communists. They also point out that Iran is better under the influence under a decayed Empire then under their massive neighbor to the north, and call for the British to remain in Iran. (-3 MP, Iran)

INVASION OF NEPAL AND BHUTAN. Thimphu, Bhutan. The People’s Republic of China launched an joint invasion of Nepal and Bhutan this year, much to the chagrin to their neighbor in India. The two small countries have since came under the full occupation of the People’s Liberation Army. However, the invasion did not go by India, who used it to justify a declaration of war on China, and an invasion of the region to end Chinese occupation. However, the Chinese forces were well prepared for the fighting, and repulsed Indian attacks into the region easily, although India managed to get control over some of Nepal before China could secure the region. The Chinese then invaded India in all across the border region, where they also won easy tactical victories over the undertrained, undersupplied, and underequipped Indian forces. However, then the fighting quickly died down, as China began to regroup. However, due to the recent coup, the Indian military has also withdrawn from the front lines where possible and has begun to regroup and prepare stop another Chinese advance from overrunning the country.

COUP IN INDIA. Calcutta, India. The Indian High Command has long been disappointed with the corruption of the nation’s civil government, and it’s willingness to be a foreign puppet. This disappointment finally culminated in a coup this year, as soldiers stormed parliament and the executive residence, evicting the President and held suspended the constitution. As the nation is currently at war, the military has promised a new constitution for India with true democracy and fair trade after the end of the war. The new government has also promised to negotiate an end to the war, which thus far has been a disaster for India. However, the new government quickly won some popularity with the Indian people when it nationalized the nation’s armaments industry, officially to assist the war effort. Also, the government began to place a few regulations on foreign owned industry, and also began to place some taxes on foreign business operation in India, officially to raise more funds for the war effort. Despite this, the new government has also pushed for recognition from Europe and has requested funds and supplies, as well as training, to help it defeat the invaders, if a peace deal cannot be reached. (+Stability, Approval, EP, India)

PROTESTS IN SUMATRA AND JAVA. Batavia, Netherlands. Protests have been staged in the Dutch East Indies, pushing for the independence of the colony from the Netherlands. The Dutch came down on the protests swiftly and brutally, and the protesters were dispersed. However, the move was condemned in Amsterdam by some liberals, who say that the way the government came down on the protests was unnecessary and simply will breed more resentment. However, the conservatives and nationalists have noted that the democratic nations of Europe cannot afford to let their colonies go, as they are what maintain the strength of the Grand Alliance against of the Axis of Nations, and are essential to the balance of power in the world, which is the only thing that keeps the world from nuclear annihilation.

AFRICA​

FAILED REVOLT IN LIBERIA. Monrovia, Liberia. A revolt in Liberia against what is viewed as Liberia’s status as an American economic colony failed to get off the ground this year, when the leader of the revolt found himself up against an American Marine regiment that was temporarily deployed to the region. The rebels were dispersed, and the leaders have been imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, at the American naval base. The quick defeat of the rebels also has given an appearance of strength to the government, which has helped to stabilize the country in the time after the revolt. (+Stability, Liberia)

FRENCH SETTLEMENT PROGRAMS PICK UP. Algiers, France. France’s settlement programs have begun to pick up, as more and more people have begun to emigrate from Metropolitan France and leave for Africa. So far, there have been no real problems with any tribal leaders, and new settlements have mostly been limited to northern Algeria and Cote D’Ivoire. Also, the French government has begun plans for a large road network in West Africa, to better develop the colony, and give the impression of it being an integral part of the French Empire. So far, emigrants have mostly been limited to a few unemployed citizens. Finally, several new aquifers have been erected to provide better access to water for the new colonists.

NEW MINERALS DISCOVERED IN MOZAMBIQUE. Lourenço Marques, Portugal. A new vein of gold was discovered in Mozambique this year, and a new mine has been erected to extract the resources. The precious resource has proven to be a valuable resource for the Portuguese, and has managed to quickly create a bit of a gold rush for Portugal. Many people somewhat discontented with the state of things in the mainland have taken advantage of this to immigrate to the colony, where things are much more free, and search for gold. So far, they have found as many gemstones as gold, which the colony also has large reserves of. (+EP, Portugal)

REVOLT IN SPANISH MOROCCO. Casablanca, Spain. A new revolt erupted in Morocco this year, centered near Casablanca. The rebels demanded Spain give Morocco independence, and Spain naturally refused. In a result, Spain sent a force to the colony to put down the revolt. The crackdown came quickly and was bloody, as Spain simply gunned down walls of rebels, until they broke and surrendered. The leaders of the rebellion were then publically executed, and the remaining rebels were dispersed. (-EP, Spain)

WORLDS BIGGEST BOMB TESTED IN SAHARA. Algiers, France. The Department of Public Information released video footage, and photos, of the test of an atomic bomb in the deep south of the French colony of Algeria. Often referred to as the "Napoleon Bomb," the bomb was the largest nuclear device detonated since the first tests of nuclear weapons. The images were spread throughout the French press, and the rest of the world latched onto the terrifying story of fascist military might. American and German politicians cite the French nuclear device as evidence of the negligence of their governments in pursuing nuclear technology. Whether the large bomb is an actual advancement in nuclear technology is up for debate, but the power of the image of a massive mushroom cloud is undeniable.

I would like to note that I do not like over spenders, so please double check your spending before sending orders. I’d really like a Soviet player before the next update. I’d also like to remind players that there is no United Nations in this timeline, and also that the decolonization is not likely, because the Axis would simply never do such a thing, and the Grand Alliance won’t allow their colonies to go independent just to be gobbled up by the Axis.

Japan, Mexico, Arabia, Brazil, Ireland, and the Soviet Union are free, due to players dropping out, lack of activity, and Androgan's hiatus from NESing.

Also, I’d like to apologize for the late update. If there are any errors, notify me, and I’ll either fix them or declare them to be acts of god. Stats are up with everything else this time.
