Possibly, but I have a completely full day of classes today along with a good amount of school work that needs to get done (procrastination, woo!). I'd work on it tonight regardless, but I'm not sure I can get it done in one shot.

RUSSIANS INVADE BELARUS
Elements of the Russian 20th Guards Army move towards Minsk
Minsk, Occupied Belarus - Early in the morning of January 6th, aircraft of the Russian 16th Air Army carried out several raids across the border in neighboring Belarus. The strikes caught the Belorussians completely off guard as they helplessly watched much of their airfields, radar stations, anti-air batteries, and military installations crumble. Within twenty minutes of the attack, reports reached the capital that the eastern cities of Vicebsk, Mahilёu, and Homel' had been captured by a pair of Russian armies, with the Russians 120km from Minsk and approaching rapidly. However, the Russians didn't immediately head for the Belorussian capital. Instead, the Russian 20th Guards Army stopped short of the city and took special care to destroy any and all anti-air sites in the eastern half of the country, thus giving themselves air superiority. This allowed for the strategic bombing of the newly constructed defenses in the evacuated Minsk and paved the way for Russian ground troops.
Minsk fell on January 24th after several days of bitter urban combat, which proved devastating for the defending army. The present situation has a broken shell of what was once the Belorussian army facing a well equipped and well prepared Russian adversary which has uncontested control of the skies. The remnants of the Belorussian military have fortified the cities of Brest, Pinsk, and Baranavičy in a last ditch attempt to stop the Russian onslaught. It seems as if the Russia has succeeded in their newest war, and the Russian populous is quite proud to see their nation doing so well.

BRAZIL'S CITIES GROW
New Skyscrapers fill the skyline of São Paulo
New Skyscrapers fill the skyline of São Paulo
Brazilia, Republic of Brazil - By order by President de Moraes and his government, Brazil has spent a large amount of money on expanding five of its cities. The cities of São Paulo, Manaus, Recife, and Porto Alegre, as well as the capital of Brazilia, all now sport increased industrial production, higher populations, and improved infrastructure. While these new super cities are several weeks from completion, their economic benefits have been near instantaneous. Economists have shown the Brazilian economy has increased by over 40%, a pretty impressive feat.
While many Brazilians are happy for the economic growth, even more are skeptical. The majority of Brazil's populous is concerned about the massive amount of debt the project has created and believe the program's losses outweigh its gains. President de Moraes addressed the concerns in a televised speech, stating that he intends to pay off the debt within the next few months. Brazilians have made it clear that, should he not keep his word, serious complications may arise.

EF TANKS ROLL INTO BALTICS

European Mechanized Infantry maneuvers outside Kaunas
Riga, Occupied Lativa - In an effort to establish a land route to Estonia and increase their strength in the Baltic Sea, the armies of the European Federation launched a two pronged attack to capture the nations of Latvia and Lithuania in one swoop. Within minutes of each other, the two armies struck, the first (Das Altes Heer) made an amphibious landing in the outskirts of Jūrmala, Latvia, while the second (L'Ancienne Armée) crossed the Polish border into Lithuania near the town of Marijampolė. Like the Russians in Belarus, the Europeans were quickly able to capture a fair amount of territory before a proper defense was established. However, unlike the Russians, the Europeans did not support their ground forces from the air. This has proved to not be a problem in Latvia, but it has caused a stall in Lithuania.
In Latvia, the EF forces landed near Jūrmala and cut off the communications to the town, allowing enough time to land most of their forces. They then quickly moved into Jelgava, about halfway to the Lithuanian border, secured the town, then bee lined for the Latvian capital of Riga. Fighting in the city proved fairly easy with support from the Northern Fleet, although the Latvians had trouble putting up a fight to begin with. With Riga secure, the Europeans controlled all the roads connecting the eastern and western halves of the country. This allowed for the easy capture of the entire western half of the country. Most of the Latvian Army still remains to be encountered, and has had ample time to construct ample defenses amongst the swampy eastern territory.
In Lithuania, the EF forces crossed the border from Poland and quickly took the towns of Marijampolė and Alytus. Sweeping east, mechanized infantry stormed into the capital of Vilnius with nearly no resistance whatsoever. While securing the city, the European forces could hear the Russian bombers attacking the town of Astravec, 40km away in Belarus, which caused the Europeans to take up defenses to fend off a Russian attack. No attack came, and the army disembarked for the city of Kaunas. Upon arrival, Lithuanian artillery positions within the city began firing frantically at European armored vehicles. Fortunately for the Europeans, no hits were made, and an assault upon the city began. Fighting was fierce, and the Lithuanians managed to hold the northern half of the city, holding the enemy south of the Nemunas River, despite heavy losses. Currently, the remnants of the Lithuanian army are dug into Kaunas, and enjoy air superiority, although their capabilities are extremely limited.

UIR AND SAUDI ARABIA SQUARE OFF

UIR Armor engages Saudi forces along the Abu Hadriyah Highway in eastern Saudi Arabia
Ad Dammām, Occupied Saudi Arabia - The full strength of Southeast Asia's strongest nation slammed into the best symbol of oil wealth early this month. Along the west coast, the Army of the Nile, using Saudi highways, quickly took Tabuk with little resistance and headed as fast as possible toward the cities of Jiddah and Mecca. A strong defense, which is composed of approximately half of the remaining Saudi Army, around the city of Medina has stopped the invaders. Should the Army of the Nile break through, before them lie the two holiest cities of Islam, but they are in for a hard fight.
Meanwhile, in the east, the Army of Babylon maneuvered around Kuwaiti territory and moved into Saudi Arabia's oil rich Persian Gulf coast where they encountered heavy resistance almost immediately along the highway. After several hours of intense fighting, the UIR forces broke through to the outskirts of Ad Dammām. A second round of fighting lead to a retreat and the UIR control of the city and the surrounding area. After securing the city, reorganized Saudi forces amassed between the Army of Babylon and the Saudi capital of Riyadh in a position which threatens to cut off supply routes from southern Iraq. It is very possible the Army of Babylon could be wiped out soon and Ad Dammām recaptured by the Saudis.
At the present moment, in the west, the UIR holds a slight advantage with a larger ground force which has naval support. However, in the east, the defending Saudis have the advantage. Ground forces on either side are about equal, but the Saudis flaunt both naval support and air superiority. This may all change however with the re-stationing of the Fuad I Air Wing in Basra.
At home, the people of the UIR are very supportive of the war. The oil wealth of the Arabian Peninsula as well as their holy cities would be some of the best trophies to win, although this war could swing the other way, and end with the destruction and/or humiliation of the UIR military.
UIR: +3 Stability; -2 Mech. Infantry, -1 Armored (Army of the Nile); -2 Infantry, -1 Mech. Infantry, -1 Artillery (Army of Babylon)

New Army in Poland
Kraków, European Federation - In order to “better protect European borders and the European people” a new army was established in Kraków. Albeit small, the Armia Krajowa has been praised as the future protectors of Europe’s border with Russia, with the local Poles expecting much from their native sons.
Border Defenses Praised by Russians
Khabarovsk, Russian Federation - Newly constructed fortifications and surface to air missile facilities along the Sino-Russian border have been praised by the Russian people, especially those living in the country’s eastern most regions. The extensive fortifications protect the otherwise vulnerable Pacific region as well as its key port of Vladivostok. This has been met with harsh criticism from the Chinese people, who see this buildup of arms along their border as an act of aggression.

Botswana Falls
Gaborone, Occupied Botswana - Forces of the Union of South Africa stormed into Botswana for the sole purpose of securing their homeland’s borders. The military of Botswana, nearly completely contained in the capital region, Gaborone, quickly were surrounded by the South African Lion’s Pride and became besieged. Over two weeks of heavy bombing, shelling, and missile strikes killed soldiers and civilians alike before the army finally moved in. The Batswana military is in shambles and is scattered across the country. The South Africans are more likely to fight park rangers than soldiers at this point.
Indians Winning Space Race
Bangalore, Republic of India - A new space race between the world’s powers has begun. Between the Europeans, Americans, and Indians, the Indians have a very clear lead and could potentially have a manned space mission by next month.
The Big Apple Gets Bigger
New York City, United States - Government funding, along with support from businesses like the Trump Organization, has lead to the expansion of NYC. Expansion has stretched further into Long Island and has absorbed portions of northern New Jersey. No longer will people get Newark and New York mixed up, for they are now the same city.

Nuclear Research Complicates Tokyo Summit
Tokyo, Japan - A meeting of seven powers to discuss nuclear weapons may be turning sour with emerging information of Russian and Japanese nuclear programs. The Tokyo Summit, which is floundering in its ability to produce a final treaty, may have trouble when its host is discovered to be on the fast track to nuclear devices.
Mexico Annexes Belize
Belize City, Mexico - Mexican troops, with support from the Flota del Caribe, quickly overran the tiny Central American nation with very little bloodshed. Mexican President Aberquero made it clear that the new territory would be given state status with all the rights all other Mexican states share. Belizeans didn’t seem to be as welcoming to the Mexicans as they had hoped, but influxes of investment are believed to fix the problem quickly.
Mexico: +1 Credit
Chinese Flex Military Muscle, Bombs Myanmar
Mandalay, Myanmar - Swift and hard strikes by the Chinese Wang Hai Air Wing against targets in northeast Myanmar caused panic throughout the country. Fears of a Chinese invasion quickly spread while the cities of Keng Tung, Bhamo, Myitkyina, Mandalay, and Lashio were being bombed, which provoked a hurried defense. Scrambled interceptors and surface to air missiles managed to take down some Chinese aircraft, but the Chinese losses couldn’t be compared to the damage done by bombing. Nearly every military installation in the region was destroyed and a good portion of Myanma aircraft were shot down or taken out while grounded. Although a Chinese invasion never came, the army of Myanmar has begun constructing defenses across the country in preparation for the inevitable.

Indonesia Vanquishes National Debt
Jakarta, Republic of Indonesia - The Southeast Asian power of Indonesia managed to pay off its debt in full this month, the only power to do so. This action has been met with applause from common Indonesians as a massive step towards fiscal responsibility from the government.

Vietnam Home to World’s Only Paratroopers
Saigon, Socialist Republic of Vietnam - Vietnam’s crack 4th Corps have trained a division of paratroopers, and are the only nation to currently maintain any so far. The 4th Corps, known for its proficiency in jungle warfare, could now possibly be the most well trained army on the planet.
Argentine Forces Cross Uruguay River
Montevideo, Occupied Uruguay - An aggressive invasion by the Argentines decimated the southern portion of the nation of Uruguay. Argentine naval ships, after cutting though the meager Uruguayan Navy, commenced missile strikes against the capital while Uruguayan fighters fell from the sky after being shot down by vastly superior Argentine warplanes, both of which paved the way for ground forces. The defending army, quickly realizing their capital was about to fall, left only a basic defense in the city and retreated to defenses toward the Brazilian border. Much of the Uruguayan Army still remains to be defeated, but the Argentines enjoy air superiority and naval support.
Japanese Begin Island Hopping
Saipan, Japan - The most peaceful military action of the month was the Japanese invasion of the Mariana Islands. The invasion is the first aggressive military action made by Japan since the end of the Second World War. Japanese warships and landing forces were met with islanders carrying out their daily routines. It was as if the people there expected it. The rising sun was hoisted over each island, with not a single eyelash batted by the locals.

I received orders from everyone except Abaddon, which was a good first start. If I don't get orders from Abaddon this turn, Nigeria is open.
For those of you who sent money to people, please make sure that nation wants said money. As far as you know, they could have pocketed it and their views of you haven't changed. Also, remember, you must send equal payments over at least two turns. So if you sent credits this past turn, I'm taking another payment out this turn. No exceptions.
Speaking of the rules, I highly advise everyone read them again. Half of the things I read weren't possible nor, if they were, would they help you in any way.
I'll be sending everyone PMs later tonight. In these will be national goals and other such things.
