China starts propaganda campaign, and gives up Laos to NVietnam
China has started a Propaganda campaign, or continued their previous ones, against the Indian
Regime, as is to be predicted, as Fascism and Communism are ideologically against one another,
so naturally the Indians and the Chinese are going to dislike one another, or so says the Chinese
Propaganda. For the record, here is an example of the Chinese propaganda: Entire populations
to the size of the cities of Qingdao, Chongqing, Beijing and Guangzhou have so far been killed
by the Indians. Their rampage has not yet stopped even after our glorious defeat of them in
Tibet! In other Chinese news, China has given Laos to North Vietnam. China is also
stringently guarding the Indian-Chinese border, and is searching everybody fleeing from India to
China. This is making life hard for those trying to flee India, mainly Muslims, but some Hindus
and Sikhs as well, and the Tibetans still returning to Tibet. No comment yet from the Chinese
Government about the status of the land that China took in Siberia, and the millions of troops
and citizens that the Chinese Government send to live there, but it is expected that the USSR and
China will come to an arrangement.
Spain takes back E. Guinea, holds referendums, and more.
Under pressure from the EU, Spain has held referendums in France, Italy, and Iceland,
apparently as part of a peace deal that saw both Spain and the EU stop their fighting after their
devastating war earlier. Election observers oversaw these referendums, which were
overshadowed by the untold Billions of dollars that Franco pumped into these elections.
Estimates range from 10-20 eco, which is an immense amount of money. Citizens in France,
Italy, and Iceland were constantly bombarded with non-stop advertising for the whole of the
election, and promising everything under the sun by Franco. New Hospitals, Schools, Roads
were built, people were given excessively large amounts of money from Franco, what can only
be described, according to one Inuit Election Observer, as a large-scale bribery of the type that I
have never seen before. Apparently it paid off, because France, Italy, and Iceland all choose to
remain part of Spain. In Iceland, after everybody was bought a new fishing boat, car, and house,
about 54% chose to remain in Spain. In France, it was 51%. In Italy, it was 50.6%. Some are
crying foul over the numbers, and the campaign, in which Franco used all tactics in the book to
encourage voters to stay in Spain. In other Spanish news, Spain has sent a large force, about
150,000 men, in total, to take back Equatorial Guinea, as well as their entire navy and airforce.
Needless to say, they got back E. Guinea, and with relatively few losses. They opened up on
Nigeria with intense day-and-night bombardment, the Nigeria forces there mostly left, and re-
enforced in Nigeria after realizing that Spain was getting back E. Guinea, no matter what the
cost. The little amounts of fighting that did occur was clearly a win for the Spanish, with their
new Q-6 rifles, which are much better then a regular rifle, they quickly mowed down the
Nigerian Resistance.

Norwegians rally around leader, EU wants militaries back
After their successful attack on Spain, Norwegians are rallying around their leader, like never
before. They have held marches in the streets at the victory. There are some grumblings among
EU members about this militarism that is currently taking place, but most accept that it is
needed. EU nations are also starting to demand that the joint EU force be split back up among
EU nations, although not all at once, slowly, they say.
Australia takes Ceylon, disrupts Indian Shipping
In a very bold move, Australia joining in the fight against India by taking Ceylon! First, they
bombarded Ceylon, essentially destroying the city, with their large group of battleships, then
they stormed the island, quickly overwhelming the Indian forces there with a massive 100,000
troops and 500 tanks invasion force. They have annexed the island, taken roughly 2,000 India
troops Prisoner, and killed many more. The massive number of troops that Australia sent
quickly stifled any resistance, indeed, with 100,000 troops on such a small island, it would be
very difficult to resist. Nonetheless, troops and tanks were lost by Australia, although a minimal
amount. Australia is promising to make Ceylon a part of Australia, for the time being, and
improve it, like Australia did to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Speaking of that, Australia
just finished their Improvements project in Indonesia, which has made Indonesia a very nice
place to live, with a very revitalized economy, and the standard of living vastly improved, thanks
to new roads, hospitals, schools, houses, etc. This has bolstered the Australia Economy, as
Indonesia is a part of Australia, and not a colony. Some are speculating on the next Australian
Elections, however, since, with so many Muslims, Indonesias Muslim population will be
deciding the next Australian Election, if Indonesia remains part of Australia. Also, some
protests continued against Australia in Indonesia, mainly from Sukarno loyalists, although they
have died down in recent months. We have reports that Sukarno has returned to Indonesia, but
we dont yet know where. Also, Australia sent their 20,000 Elite Peacekeepers to assist
Malaysia against the Indians, and their 5 submarines, but more on that later.
(-8,000 Australian Troops, -5 Australian Tanks, -6,00- Indian Troops, -unknown Indian
Conscripts)
Thailand is now a country again, borders restored!!!
The NKE and Malaysia have come to an agreement to allow Thailand to become a country
again, after they led a joint attack to rid the old dictator. The King of Thailand has been re-
instated, and work is beginning to rebuild the country, but it faces many challenges ahead. The
new King has promised to work closer with APETO, and be a more loyal ally.
Massive Hindustani war results in no clear victor
A lot has happened in Hindustan over these past few months, and little of it has been peaceful.
- The First strike in this very bloody and drawn-out war was by the muslim nations, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Libya, to name a few. They realized that their people were being slaughtered on a scale never seen before since Histler, so, with weapons that they bought from the RSA with their eco that they pooled together, they launched a massive attack on India. They bought some of the RSA's fine units, and combined what units that they had into the Grand Muslim Army of Liberation. Apparently the genocide by the Hindustanis was enough of a catalyst to get them to put aside their differences, and fight their common enemy, the Hindustanis. Arming millions upon millions of volunteers, they striked against india, in a massive clash. With help from the CU, RSA and Malaysia, their first stop was to liberate Qatar.
- This was a fairly bloody battle, with the Hindustanis fighting for every square inch of land, and, when forced to withdraw, used a scorched earth policy. Thankfully, the Coalition forces managed to get the key Qatari Oil Wells in one piece, mostly, but pretty much everything else in Qatar is just gone, burnt like a crisp. Qatar has been returned to be a CU Colony once more. most, but not all, of Oman and the UAE have been liberated, and it is expected that the remained of those nations will fall soon. Again, the devastating Hindustani scorched earth tactic made whatever land that was liberated nearly useless. In Afghanistan, the situation is too volatile to determine what is happening, we have scattered reports, but do not truly know what is going on there. Massive battles, to be sure.
- Another interesting part in this war is the contribution by the USA and RSA. Together, they combined their eco, along with some sent by various Muslim countries, to bombard India with over 90 ICBMs, each with multiple warheads. These ICBMs contained not Nukes, for, if thgey did, Hindustan might be mo more, but mainly fuel bombs and napalm. These striked at Hindustani Military bases, and industry, for the most part, putting major dents in Hindustans troops. (OOC - only the worst strikes are listed on the map with the yellow X's.) These were very effective, damaging Hindustan's massivei industry for the most part, but obviously did not achieve the total effect that was intended.
- After this terrible inferno of ICBMs was finished, the coalition changed tactic, and divided their forces between the NKE, Afghanistan, and liberating the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. The fighting was devastating, with both sides having millions of angry conscripts or volunteers simply attacking and counter-attacking one another. Battle Fields were literally red with blood, this is war of a like that has never been seen before. Nobody has an estimate on the numbers of volunteers killed, but it must be into the millions. In the skies, the RSA fighters clearly dominated, shooting down many Hindustani fighters and the such. But, the war was not to be won on the sky, but on the ground.
- Inside Hindustan, some moderate hindus continued to flee the country, taking their entire family, and fleeing to neighbouring countries, mainly Malaysia, but also to Thailand and the NKE, among others. The Fascist Government has kept up the anti-APETO propaganda, making them be the "worst and foulest enemy ever!", according to State TV. Hindus for the most part are rallying around their leader, for they have been so brainwashed that they actually believe some of the propaganda that they are brainwashed with day and night. As for the Muslims, the bloodbath against them continue, with the Hindustani's feared 10 mile policy continuing, which has depopulated many parts of the Muslim-dominated areas. Concentration Camps have been set up for the Muslims, like Hitler and his Camps for the Jews, in the Thar Desert, and there Muslims are being treated brutally. No food, no water for days, mass harsh interrogation, random killings, as far as our reporters can tell. Clearly, Hindustan wants the land that it has to be rid of the approximately 450 million Muslims. Again, due to the nature of Hindustan, we have no estimate how many have been killed this way, just that untold numbers have been killed, in the millions, surely. Hindustan's millions of volunteers/conscripts have been very effective at putting down any resistance against the Government. Hindustan also ordered that all the major cities be evacuated, but soon rescinded that after they saw that the USA and RSA were targeting their industry, not their cities and populations.
- In the East, Hindustan launched an invasion of the NKE, and, with the massive numbers, managed to take a fair bit of land. The Muslims in the NKE that were preparing to attack Hindustan were surprised by the attack, and are doing their best to fend off the massive amounts of Hindus flooding into the NKE. The NKE army was, sadly, for the most part in Cambodia, making that nation in anarchy a part of their empire. They came back, and were successful in pushing back the Hindustanis a bit, but at a large cost to men. The Hindustanis scorched earth policy was effective at devastating some tracts of NKE land. Currently, the hindustanis stand a good chance of over-running the NKE forces, and over-running the country, which would be a devastating blow to APETO. Also, Tibetans inside Hindustan have all mostly gone back to Tibet, at the urging of the Chinese Government.
- In some odder news, Australia took Ceylon from Hindustan, launching a massive artillery barrage of Colombo with their fleet of battleships, then storming the island with 100,000 troops, and all their 500 tanks. They quickly subdued the island, and took about 2,000 Hindustani soldiers prisoners. This is likely seen as a launching point of an invasion by Australia and other nations of Hindustan proper. A harsh reaction is expected by Hindustani forces, if they can muster the strength needed to take back Ceylon.
- Hindustan, in an act of vengence perhaps, attached their two disabled Nuclear Weapons to large conventional bombs, smuggled them into Bangkok and Kuala Lumpor, and detonated then. These were effecitvley dirty bombs, which spread Nuclear Pollution everywhere. While these have not destroyed anything on a large scale, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok are both infected with Nuclear Radiation, which will take awhile to go away. The leader of Thailand was spared, but the leader of Malaysia got a significant dose of the radiation, and his health is starting to deteriorate.
- In the final bit of news regarding Hindustan, they also laucnhed an invasion of what was Malaysia, but was turned over to Thailand just before the Hindustanis invaded. The Hindustanis quickly pushed ashore, with massive naval support, which the Australian Submarines harassed, but could now stop. Hindustani forces have taken a chunk of Thailand, but are facing massive resistance from Malaysian and Australia peacekeepers there. Currently, the battle is a stalemate, but that might change, as the Malaysian-Australian forces have the better weapons and units.
(Hindustani Losses: 120,000 Infantry, 600 tanks, possibly over 1 million Conscripts, 10
Destroyers, 5 Battleships, 2 Cruisers, 13,000 Ghurkas; Malaysian losses: 16,000 Infantry; 50
Adnans, 10 Interceptors, 5 Rajawalis, 20 Tanks, 60 Special Forces Australian Losses: 4,000
Barneys, 1 Submarine; NKE Losses: 20,000 Infantry, 130 Tanks, 20 Adnans; CU: 6,000 Infantry; Joint Muslim losses: unknown numbers of Infantry and Volunteers, 170 Elephants, 60 Condors, 1,700 Hyenas, 40 Eagles)
NKE takes Cambodia!
The NKE army rolled into Cambodia, to restore peace, says the Government. In reality, they
took it over, but with little, if any resistance. This boosted the NKE economy, but the attack by
Hindustan weakened the NKE economy, so the NKE economy stays still.
