Well folks after problems over at Apolyton all the side threads for the number one Diplogame in history will be moved here. Anyone interested in Diplogaming and wants a taste of drama and story telling with their civ this is the place to come. Go here to get the latest on History Of The World 2:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25296&goto=lastpost

This thread is a poll set up to allow all fans, players and spectators of HOTW2 a chance to affect its outcome by voting for who will be the next president of the Union of Asian States, formally known as Mongolia.

A brief summary of events in UAS. In 1645 Genghis Khan of the Asian Unity Party was elected President and started a war to drive the Chinese out of Asia. UAS has many successful campaigns early in the war, but were turned back by the Chinese counter offensive.

Currently the UAS citizens are in a state of collective malaise over the military losses. Their thirst for blood abated now that they have lived through 5 years of war. There is still a large war hawk segment but much of the population is now calling for peace. With the rest of the world errupting in war it is uncertain if any peace will be long lasting.

Please vote and feel free to contribute to the story by role-playing various interest groups and characters. Write up posts for Asian citizens and give their views of the election but don't do any posts by the candidates themselves. Enjoy!
 
<B>Kublai Khan</B> - <I> Asian Unity Party</I>
Vice-president Kublai Khan accompanied President Genghis Khan and the ceremonial Mongolian Golden Horde Calvary unit to oversee the capture of Nanking from the Chinese and then watched in horror as the President and the entire unit was destroyed by Chinese tanks. Kublai Khan escaped with his life and has presided over the country for the past few months while the special election was set up.

Khan vows to continue Genghis Khan's war on China and pledges to drive them into the sea or fight to the last man. Disturbed by the lack of military intelligence and the underestimation of Chinese forces Khan will take a more tactful approach to the war. Confident he can secure support from WAAR to win a great victory for Asia against the Chinese.

<B>Mahatma Gandhi</B> - <I> Green/Peace Party </I>
With the country entering a phase of deep malaise over the losses in the Sino-Asian war many are fearful of Australian involvement and further losses to the Chinese. Gandhi, a social activist from Calcutta has long tried to push for full peace for his nation. The still homeless Green Party has split from Labor and has joined with the Peace party in light of the current world situation.

Gandhi favors the full end to the war and advocates that all measures must be taken to prevent future wars from occurring. Gandhi advocates beating Asian swords into plowshares and improving the land and the people rather than killing others. Total peace at any cost.

<B>Mao Tse-tung</B> - <I> Labor Party </I>
A radical socialist, Mao ran in the '45 election but was defeated soundly. With the world erupting into war Mao is running again in the special election. Tse-Tung was arrested in '19 and '24 for advocating armed revolution. After stewing in federal prison for 7 years Tse-Tung has turned slightly more mainstream and decided a political course of action is best.

Tse-Tung supports raising taxes on the rich and expanded welfare programs to benefit "the victims of capitalism" Stable Labor party issues of increased factory production, infrastructure and workers rights are still important. Tse-Tung pledges peace with the Chinese and support for Europe who he feels has been victimized yet again by capitalism run amok.

<B>Kang Kukjin</B> -<I> Conservative Party </I>
Serving as Vice-president under Bogd Khaan and then temporarily President for the remainder of Khaan's term Kukjin lost in '45 in the election fiasco that got the Asian Unity Party elected. Blamed by many for not sufficiently equipping the UAS to face its current war his selection as Presidential candidate in the special 1650 election is a surprise.

Kukjin is confident he can negotiate an honorable peace between the Chinese and UAS. Kukjin has been critical of Genghis Khan's war with China but will continue it if a fair peace cannot be met. "Our people have lost battles and soldiers but we will never loose our pride and our honor."

<B>Tserehuu Sharavdorj -</B><I> Liberal Party </I>
Sharavdorj the leading Liberal Party Senator from Ozidelphia is running for President, being out of power for the past 25 years Sharavdorj hopes the dire events of the last 5 will persuade his people to restore his party to power.

Worried more by Australia's actions in South America than in the UAS-China war Sharavdorj advocates rearming UAS and joining together as brothers with the Chinese and all nations to stop the Australian juggernaut from conquering the world. At a recent speech given in Kazakhstan Sharavdorj was quoted as saying this is "the wrong war at the wrong time."

<B>Liu Xiaobo</B> - <I> Libertarian Party </I>
With a strong showing in the last election the Asian Libertarian Party has again nominated Lui Xiaobo for President. The moderate Lui Xiaobo served 6 years in congress before moving up to the Senate after the '45 Presidential election.

Xiaobo supports individual freedom both personally and economically. Xiaobo supports dramatically reducing taxes and cutting the size of the UAS government. As President Xiaobo proposes peace with the Chinese and neutrality in foreign affairs. "UAS initiated force against a sovereign nation, that is inexcusable, our defense power responds to force, never initiates it."
 
hold it,hold it...only 1 thread per game guys.I'm closing this down.





j/k:p ..have at er :goodjob:
 
Hey Smash i agree with you that we should let HOTW2 have the posts :) hopefully TF will make me civ2 mod again soonn :)
 
The people of the Province of Sun Tzu Tung vote for Mao Tse-tung - Labor Party
 
The Province of Uralsky, which has recently been captured from the Europen Union has voted for Labor candidate Mao Tse Tung. This area of the world was one of the many who supported Vladimir Ilyich Lenin's Communist Party in Europe, and as thus seen to it that Mao, who follows the same basic principles of Lenin (which are base on Marxism) should be elected as the next President of Mongolia.

And there we go..
 
I voted for Kublai, got to keep asia for asians. ;)
 
looks like you're heading for a coalition government :)
 
the mongol people better hope that its Sharavdorj...otherwise Mongolias going to end up like the zulus....

The land grabbing hordes of australia are coming. China truly is a peaceful nation. If left alone they will not give mongolia problems...

However australia is after land, and the Mali and Mongolia have been declared as targets. If Mongolia does not prepare for war against australia they may as well kiss their asses goodbye.
 
Chung “We welcome you to the 1650 Debates. This first debate will be in a round-table discussion format. I will ask the questions and direct each question to a specific candidate. After that candidate has made a statement the others are able to add their thoughts. The rules set forward by the debate commission outlines that candidates must be polling at at least 10 percent in the nation before the debate to qualify. Four candidates have met that requirement and we are joined today by Liberal Party candidate Tserehuu Sharavdorj, Asian Unity Party nominee Kublai Khan, Labor Party candidate Mao Tse-Tung, and Mahatma Gandhi who is representing both the Peace and Green parties. Welcome gentlemen.

“Let us start with a question directed to you Mr. Khan. The war against the Chinese so far hasn’t yielded many results. They have recaptured all the territory we took from them and have occupied additional UAS cities. With our armed forces depleted you still call for a war to drive the Chinese out of Asia, please explain.”

Khan – “I have been to the front. I have witnessed battles, I have seen our proud men attack the mulatto Chinese and I have watched as the vicious foreigners responded. They have captured our cities and they have murdered our President. There are many now who suggest we accept peace and run on home with our tails between our legs, this is outright cowardice and those who advocate this shame our mighty nation and our proud people. We will betray the memory of the men who have fought and died for the cause of Asian Unity if we submit to the enemy now. How are you going to tell the parents who lost their sons in Nanking that they died in vain? -that their death served no purpose. I for one hope we never have to say that.”

Gandhi – “Their death <I>did</I> serve no purpose. What is Asian Unity? Genghis Khan and now Kublai Khan think we can unify Asia through death and destruction, all this will do is create bitter enemies out of one-time friends and divide our continent and humanity. Unity is a goal that can be achieved through peace, and only through peace. All of mankind are our brothers and we must treat them as such.”

Sharavdorj – “The war against China was undertaken for reasons that many feel are justified, many others however feel this war is a crime. All I know is that the war is a failure and thus far has done more harm than good. I did not come here to talk poorly of late President Genghis Khan, and certainly not to talk poorly of our boys lost so far in the war but it does a greater injustice to all to continue an unwinnable war which will only result in more death. Lately the Chinese have shown themselves to be a fair people, a peaceful people. They have offered to end this war and restore peace between our two cultures; this I feel is gracious and desirable. This is the wrong war at the wrong time.”

Chung – “The next question is for Mr. Gandhi. With the world erupting in war and aggressive nations attacking peaceful ones with no cause, how successful do you feel a policy of peace will be?

Gandhi – “Connie, the question we must ask first is how successful a policy of war will be. From the beginning of time we have seen the cycle of violence repeat itself over and over again. Just look at the Europeans and Israelis. Violence begets violence. With thousands of years of history to prove that wars will only create more wars I find it foolish to consider ourselves safe behind tanks and bombs. True peace has not been tried and with the failure of war it is the only option we can consider.”

Tse-Tung – “The cycle of violence has been caused by greedy capitalists. As can be seen in the recent attack of Israel on the peaceful EUSSR, the invasion of South America by Australia, and our own attack of China. All motivated by ills of capitalism, greed, nationalism and such. Of course it is always the poor who are sent off to fight the battles as a popular musical group from the Ozzy Khan era once said, “Politicians hide themselves away, they only started the war, why should they go out and do fight, they leave that all to the poor.”

Sharavdorj – “Peace is always the best course, but unfortunately it is not always possible. As we have seen over the past five years aggressor nations such as Australia can attack viciously with no warning or provocation. When innocent nations can be conquered in such a fashion and when no one is safe there can be no peace. It is clear that the world is in danger from the Australian juggernaut and the only way to secure peace is to stop the thunder from down under.”

Chung – “Since we are running out of time I have one last question for everyone to respond to. There have been some vocal promises by Australia to defend their Chinese ally by attacking UAS. How does everyone respond to the threat of Australian invasion?”

Khan – “I do not put much faith in those reports. Simply smoke and mirrors to try and convince the Asian people to forget the Chinese in favor of a new enemy. Right now we are dealing with the Chinese, they have occupied vast tracts of land in Asia, they have proven to be the greatest threat to our security.

Gandhi – “It may happen if we do not act soon. Violence begets violence, we attacked the Chinese without provocation and now the Australians have stepped in to defend their ally. The only way to protect ourselves from both the Australians and Chinese is to make out a peace deal. No matter what we have to sacrifice now, it will be less than the sacrifice of eternal war.

Tse-Tung – “It looks as if the powerful Australian capitalist pigs are out for world domination. They represent all that is evil in this world. Their free-market economy ruthlessly crushing the poor worker classes all over the world. If that isn’t enough for them now they viciously conquer innocent nations all over the world.

Sharavdorj – “The Australian threat is the greatest our culture has ever been faced with. All other problems are merely a diversion from the danger presented by the Australians. They have built up their military unchecked for countless years and with no opposition have taken all of South American from the Zulus. Once a powerful nation the Zulus have lost half of their land in less than 5 years. Now they threaten us, one can only imagine what they have planned for us. For the future of our culture and society it is essential that they be stopped by whatever means necessary. China, Zulu, WAAR, Europe, Mali, all are at risk from the Australian menace, I propose a world alliance be formed to shut down the Australians once and for all.

Chung – “Thank you all for your time tonight.”
 
Unfortunately MBC couldn't get its hands on an actual photograph of Kublai Khan so here is an artist's rendering of Khan at an ethnic festival.

BALLOT STUFFING CONFIRMED

“What for several days appeared to be a rumor circulated by some ethnic Zulu minorities and conspiracy theorists has been confirmed. The crucial special election to determine the new UAS President has been terribly tampered with by Australian operatives working to disrupt our nation. Authorities have discovered and arrested a ring of Australian spies who have generated thousands of false ballots for Asian Unity Party candidate Kublai Khan. Information is still sketchy but MBC News is told these operatives report to the highest Australian office.

“In 1645 the UAS election was side tracked by the Ming Dynasty monarchist faction, that election resulted in the election of Asian Unity Party candidate Genghis Khan. With yet another election being tampered with to support the AUP candidate there is much speculation as to the parties’ involvement with Australia and the Ming Dynasty. The AUP is currently under investigation and many are speculating that Khan may be disqualified from the race. MBC News will get you details on this scandal when they are made available.

“With us in the studio today is Western Mongolia University international relations professor, Xion Chau, who will analyze how this scandal affects power plays and relations on the world stage, welcome Xion.”

“Thank you Connie, this is truly a desperate move by the Australian government. Fearing possible competition from China it seems the Australians have attempted to rig the UAS election in order to keep China and the UAS locked in war. With the blatant conquering of Zulu land in South America it seems Australia will stop at nothing to make the international chess board favorable for their conquest of the world.

“The Zulus are attempting to build a world coalition to defend against Australian aggression but there are many key pieces that are still up in the air. One of these pieces is the strong Chinese nation which Australia is now attempting to force into perpetual war with the UAS to prevent China from stopping Australian conquest. This is indeed troubling news. Two powerful nations, WAAR and China are still undecided as to their involvement in this last great war of modern history. It is a fascinating struggle to watch, will Zulu diplomacy or Australia’s Machiavellian string pulling win out? It is anyone’s guess.”
 
Today we are reviewing a quality work of fiction, <U>Ostriches Under Fire</U>, that has recently been published. The author, American born Edward R Murrow has created a compelling world much like our own but a fictionalized account of nations, wars, people and politics. The book follows the life of a British Diplomat attempting to court the great powers of this planet to stop a power mad German dictator. Murrow paints an involved picture for the reader, (he even makes it convincing that the world is made up of dozens and dozens of tiny soveriegn nations), any lover of war, politics and intrigue will love this book.

Central to the plot are the leaders of the nation of "USSR", a Communist nation that expands from eastern europe all across the top of Asia to the Pacific, Joseph Stalin, and the leader of the "United States of America" a democratic nation which occupies the midportion of North America from coast to coast, Franklin Roosevelt. The story begins as the leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler, begins to take land in Europe, occupying the nations of Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Poland. Other nations attempt to appease Germany and stay out of its way, some like the USSR even work with Germany for its own gain.

The main character, Winston Templehill, working for the British government is deathly afraid of Hitler's true ambitions in Europe and around the world, thus Templehill sets off to travel to the USSR and USA to convince these two superpowers of the impending war and crisis. Here is where the plot thickens, USSR and USA are very distrustful of each other and despise each other's policies. Templehill flounders initially as each leader feels content that they are safe within their borders and are more skeptical of assisting past enemies. Eventually as the book continues Hitler's Germany begins to attack its neighbors and before long the USSR as well! By this point all major world powers realize that they must put aside their differences to face a common enemy bent on world domination.

This is a delightful tale woven in what the author calls a "paralell universe" Murrow in his insight draws comparisions to the real world and real situation in the world today but keeps his tale in his fictional world of Gaia. Look for <U>Ostriches Under Fire</U> at your local bookstore.
 
no need for that. We don't allow 'trolling' here. So your now on my list of people to watch.

Paris, France. European Union.
President Lazlo D'Medici

It has come to our attention that Australian operatives have tampered with the elections in the Union of Asian States. History has shown, and depending on the actions taken towards this grevious act, that Europe and Asia have less than stellar relations.

As of right now, as President of the European Union, I would hope and pray that the government in Asia decides to rescind all votes for Khan, it is clear that he is not going to represent the Asian people, but rather represent the foreign influence that wants to see Asia embroiled in struggle, and divided rather than united. Asian unity is the goal of the UAS is it not?

Therefore this enemy, this enemy of the world should not be tolerated. Its actions involved in this election should be condemned, and its actions in South America should be condemned. To even consider the point that there are nations on this planet that have yet to even administer a single word against Australian activity in recent years is absurd. It is a disease, this inept and hesitant approach to what should be seen as blatant and naked aggression. Imperialism on such a scale has not been seen since the colonialism that ushered in the first Great War.

Now we have hit a cycle, the very same imperial ambition; this time not on free uninhabited land but on sovreign states, will bring about the third and bloodiest world war.

The people of Europe, and I believe this holds true for the nations of China and the Zulu Federation, hope and pray that justice and freedom reign supreme in Asia. And not a battle of injust politics.

Thank you for your time, and may God bless you all.

--President Medici--
