From New South Wales
To the world
CC: Canada, Japan and its allies

Ever since the collapse of the Russian state in the aftermath of the nuclear bombing of Tsaritsyn, stories of anarchy, poverty, and lawlessness have been reaching us from the Russian Pacific shore. Nearly total collapse of manufacturing chain and infrastructure lines has ravaged local economy that had always been dependent on the heartland to survive.


This year, leaders of New South Wales, Canada, Japan, and a number of Japanese allies have met in Sapporo (on the image above) to discuss the plight of Siberian peoples (both native population and Russian settlers). As a conclusion of the international talks, we are proud to announce a joint humanitarian and peacemaking mission to the Pacific shore of the Russian Far East. The region will be split into three Responsibility Zones: Chukotka for Canada, Kamchatka for New South Wales, and Magadan-Khabarovsk Regions for Japan and its close allies. Military task forces will be sent to secure the regions, establish law and order in them, and provide extensive humanitarian aid to the locals. In demonstration of good faith, all participating countries will allow supervision of their activities in their respective Responsibility Zones by other participants of the mission. In addition, free passage will be granted to the locals that desire to move from one Responsibility Zone to another or would prefer to leave the Far East for the Russian Heartland instead.

Please note that this mission is not a vanity exercise with free admission. Therefore, we encourage other countries to not apply for participation. However, if you find sympathy for our humanitarian cause, we encourage you to invest money directly into the Responsibility Zones, as we hope to help them rebuild their economy, administration, and infrastructure.

'I met your father at a New Year's Party in 1950. I went at the last minute, normally the parties that the Socialists throw are dull affairs but my parents made me feel guilty enough to go. Usually it is always the men standing around in circles talking politics while the women sit and discuss cooking or children. Since I was a excellent cook and had no children I was the outcast so I would listen to music or read. Being the only unmarried daughter of a dockworker made you into a outcast. The men for all their education and claims of tolerance seemed to be scared of a University educated woman and the women...well, they thought I did not hear the comments they said but I did.

So about ten Father comes in with Comrade Nala and this tall, dark haired gentleman. Now understand Father was tall and broad from years on the docks but this man was taller and around thirty. He did not look like a party member nor did he act like it, he was fit and strong looking and I felt like a schoolgirl with her first crush the way I watched him. The next thing I knew he was walking towards me and asked me "So are you a fan of the cinema?" I was stunned until I realized he was talking about the film magazine I had in my right hand. After I composed myself I answered yes and we started talking. We talked about the cinema, about music and food, no politics at all and for the first time in the last few years I was enjoying myself. You should have seen the looks the women were giving me! If looks could kill I would be dead a dozen times over.

So Midnight comes and every one is hugging and celebrating and this tall stranger hands me a class of champagne. "Happy New Year Miss.."

"Darzi. Devika Darzi."

"Devika, very nice. My name is Karan Kamal Singh."

I knew right then I wanted to see him again.'

If sign ups are open can I take New Zealand?

 

[SouthernKing]

I'd love to have you - but New Zealand isn't a playable country, unfortunately, as it's a territory of New South Wales.

 

[Sniiperman456]

What countries are open? I will take Madagascar if it is open.

 

[SouthernKing]

Madagascar isn't open, either. The countries that are open are those that have stats here but aren't listed in post #5.

 

[Sniiperman456]

I will take Switzerland

 

[SouthernKing]

Sure. If you still want to send orders you can; but if you want to wait until after the update (which I hope to get posted by this point next week, if all goes well) that's fine too.

 

[Sniiperman456]

Switzerland wishes to maintain its neutriality but is open to nonagression pacts and trade pacts.
