GoobNES01: Fallout Update 1 - As the balance of power shifts . . .
May 18th, 1963
Apparently isolationist Spain was a thing of the past . . .
Spain undergoes some major upheavals. First, they have decided to move the new Government
and Capital City of Spain to Barcelona. But, that is not all. They have invited His Holiness, the
Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, to live in Barcelona, and make it his new residence. The
Papal Apartments are being built in Barcelona for the Popes exacting specifications. More on
His Holiness later. Spain has acquired Japanese assistance in stopping the Nuclear Fallout from
Madrid, Burgos, and Gibralter from spreading, they were not successful, but they successfully
evacuated the affect areas in time. Spain, led by the ambitious General Franco Francisco, has
annexed Portugal in a virtually bloodless battle, he told the Portugese people that they needed to
unite through a fairly successful propaganda campaign, and it worked! Spain now has
possession of Portugese Colonies, as well. Some minor fighting did occur, as some Portugese
troops resisted. Spain also sent out a message to all nations affected by the Nuclear barrage, and
got a flood of refugees, greatly bolstering the nationss population, and got most of the refugees
from the UK, which was almost totally destroyed by Nukes, Ireland, and lesser numbers from
Germany, Poland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Spain has invaded, and, essentially, annexed
much of France, and the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. They did not annex all of France
because a French General was successful in uniting the last if the French Army that had not
given up all hope, and is currently trying to resist the Spanish. Casualties were minimal for the
well-trained Spanish, and high for the shocked and hastily arranged French, still not really
believing at what is unfolding. Some areas in Spanish-annexed France are resisting as well.
Spain, getting ambitious, also decided to declare war upon, and invade Italy. The Italian troops
were not prepared for this, but Italy and Spain are now in a state of war. Spain has gained Sicily
with minor fighting, but the mainland fight was a different story. By the time Spain had annexed
Sicily, the Italians knew that they were coming, and were somewhat ready for the Spanish. As
the Spanish confidently strode ashore, they were cut down by gunfire. What could have been a
disaster for the Spanish turned better as they finally outgunned the Italians. The Italians
managed to inflict pretty harsh casualties on the Spanish, until the Spanish finally woke up, and
send air units. Spain also sent more forces to the North of Italy, in secret, and have gained
ground there, as the majority of the Italian forces were battling the Southern Spanish invasion.
They overwhelmed the Italian Air Force, and the Spanish pressed on, gaining a sizeable amount
of land, but paying for it dearly. The Italians are defending as well as they can, but they are
clearly outgunned, and might soon fall. Several Libyan ships carrying refugees to France were
destroyed by the Spanish fleets patrolling the Mediterranean. Is it unclear if Libya will react.
Ireland has also been annexed, but much more peacefully then France. Iceland has also been
annexed, but there was some negligible resistance to the relatively massive Spanish invasion
force. The Spanish Government has also relaxed some of their tough rules, and made life easier
for Spanish, and are soon thinking about becoming a democracy. The persecutions of Socialists
and Communists has ended.
(-32,520 Spanish troops, -2 Spanish Tanks, -45,000 Italian troops, -80 Italian Interceptors, -35
Spanish Interceptors, -70 Italian Fighters, -45 Spanish Fighters)
Khmer Alliance
The Khmer Alliance has struck against the corrupt Burmese Government, promising a glorious
new future. They have incited a popular uprising that only time can tell if the Burmese
Government can stop. They have also proclaimed themselves to be a new nation. Fighting
between the Burmese and the Khmer Alliance has caused casualties on both sides, but clearly
the people of Burma prefer the Khmer to the Burmese Government. The Khmer have been very
successful at hit and run style guerilla tactics, but they are feeling the effects of the Burmese air
power, and their tanks are difficult to hide.
(-3,000 Khmer troops, -20,000 Burma troops, -41 Khmer tanks)
Japanese Expertise has helped China reduce the effect of the Nuclear Fallout at Chengde. With
their new Radiation suits, the peoples Liberation Army shall soon be very well equipped to deal
with the Nuclear Fallout. Chinas prompt action to evacuate its citizens from the affected areas
have helped the production in China by saving the lives of many valuable workers. China has also peacefully annexed the terriroies of Hong Kong and Macao, giving them a boost to their economy.
(+3 eco, +1 Industry)
South Africa has annexed Lesotho and Swaziland, facing little to no resistance, except from
some loyalist forces.
Australia has annexed Papua New Guinea, and made it into a province. This is fine with the
Papua New Guinean tribal chiefs, so long as Australia holds up its bargain to improve the Papua
New Guinean standards of living, and infrastructure, and agree to let Papua New Guinea
separate when so desire.
India expands - both through peace and war
India agreed to an agreement with Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Nepal for those 3 nations to merge
their economy and military with India, but keep semi-autonomous rights over their respective
areas of land.
(+1 eco Level, India, +30,000 troops, +2 Industry levels)
But, India has also over-run East Pakistan with troops, and are seeming ready to do the same for
West Pakistan. As the Pakistani Government is still in chaos, the resistance was light, initially,
but then grew, but the result was more land for India. In fact, the chaos in Pakistan has
increased, with various factions fighting for control, and the violence is spiraling.
(-1,000 India troops, -10,000 Pakistani troops)
The USA is slowly starting to re-unite, after its devastation. A Fascist leader, General patten has
come to power, of sorts, and is pledging to guide the USA through this Nuclear nightmare that
the USA is in. He started off by withdrawing all citizens to the midwest, and recalling all USA
troops abroad. This may have consequences in the days ahead, however . . .
(+760 Tanks, +12 Destroyers, +3 Battleships, +1 Carrier +60 USA bombers, +100 USA
Interceptors, +500 USA fighters +5 Subs +290,000 troops)
The leader of Malaysia has managed to unite his people behind him even more then they were
before. There have been spontaneous demonstrations in the streets with thousands of people
chanting their support. Brunei has asked, and received permission, to join Malaysia. Also,
Malaysia is the first nation of any to start designing a new technology. Rumor has it that this
new Tank will be very powerful, and far better then any modern-day tanks. Malaysia has also
been extending its hand to other nations nearby, and will surely sign an economic pact sometime
soon with their neighbours, which will do a lot of good for the struggling Malaysian economy.
Japan - The new center of the world?
Japan has taken the initiative and proposed that the new United Nations be based in Nagasaki,
the city that people once thought would take 70 years to get rid of the pollution from the Atomic
Bomb that struck it in 1945, but is now back on its feet, and thriving. Many nations around the
world have agreed to join, including Finland, Norway, Italy, Sweden, a number of African
nations, Turkey, Iraq and Iran, Afghanistan, Mexico, Panama, Indonesia, and many other nations
(Full list to be released tomorrow). This is expected to boost Japans economy greatly. Also,
Japan, with so much experience with cleaning up Nuclear Pollution, has developed a method of
cleaning its Nuked cities of Kyoto and Sapporo in just one year (2 updates from now).
Furthermore, with the USA removing its troops, Japan has changed its pacifist Constitution, and
now no longer has limits on the size of its Military. Japan was unable to claim any American
Military Equipment, as the USA evacuated its Military Units back to the USA. Furthermore,
Japan has discovered 3 nuclear weapons, undetonated, off its coast (marked by black xs).
Furthermore, Japan has massively invested in its education and Industry, making Japan one of
the most productive nations on this planet, and certainly the most well-educated. Japan is
rapidly getting back on her feet.

Martial Law has been declared in Colombia! This was done to ensure that Colombia is more
secure, after the riots which left many people dead. The nation is slowly returning to stability,
thanks to prompt Government action. Martial Law is not something that many Colombians will
like for very long though.
(+1 Stability Level)
Argentina has signed an historic deal to have the economies of Argentina, Uruguay, Chile,
Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela and Ecuador work closer together. This is being accomplished
through short-term regulations on Business and Industrial production and wages until the
economies stabilize in those countries, and they have also agree to conform their Pollution,
Labor, Patent, and Banking Laws, that will make it easier for these nations to trade. They have
agreed on one set standard for their currency, and are discussing the idea of having one common
currency. Furthermore, they have agreed to a mutual defense pact, and to have their militaries
coordinated by one regional coordination center, of this the location was not announced. This is
a very historic treaty, and an example for the world. Invitations are opened to Brazil, the
Falkland Islands, and Colombia, should they choose to join. The immediate benefit of this is
that all nations involved get an economic bonus of their economy being raised by one level, and
this applies to any nation joining as well. More benefits will surely come in the years ahead.
(+1 economy level to all nations involved in the South American Defense and Economic Treaty
(SADAEC))

Random/NPC Events
Some of the worlds remaining top scientists, meeting in Seville, have announced that the
worlds temperature has dropped by 5 degrees celcius, and say that they have no predictions
about the future drop in temperature. This is less then their previous estimates of 7-10 degrees
celcius. They were non-commental when asked if the world could survive this, only saying that
everybody will have to wait and see. They have warned that the massive Oil Fires in Kuwait and
the Middle East must be put out, that they are having a fairly significant impact upon the Earths
temperature and warming.
Oil Shortages? Yup. Its gonna happen, says some of the worlds largest remaining oil
companies. Even with the Demand in the USA and USSR down to virtually nil, Oil shortages
will still be occurring. They are urging nations to world towards getting Saudi Arabian Oil
flowing again, and to put out the horrendous Oil First in the ME. Also, all nations should work
together on this through the new UN, or chaos will results, warned these companies.
Massive Earthquakes, volcanoes, and other nastiness. Massive Earthquakes have devastated the
USA, but no real damaged was done. Earthquakes of 8-9 in magnitude are being felt there, but
they have been diminishing in these past few days. No US citizens were hurt, or killed, since the
epicenters were all along the Nuked uninhabited areas of the USA. Volcanoes have been more
active as of late, and Mt. St. Helens exploded in the USA, once again, killing nobody.
Earthquakes have been felt in other parts of the world, particularly Europe, and Asia, near the
USA, but no reports of casualties. Japan has had some minor tremors, but nothing big thus far.
More Nukes detonate in the UK! At least 20 massive detonations occurred in the UK. This is
likely a result of part of the UKs arsenal detonating. Since Spain evacuated most UK citizens,
the only real damage will be to the Earth, and contributing to the pollution and such. Other
detonations occurred in Canada, the USA and Iran, mostly from Nukes that were undetonated.
Also, China has found a USSR bomber loaded with 2 Nuclear Bombs What they di with them
remains to be seen.
Of the Governments in Anarchy, the Canadian Government returned to some semblance of
normalcy, with the General of the Canadian Armed Forces taking over some command, but this
are still very touch and go there, with mostly complete anarchy. Also, Governments have taken
over control again in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Still no word on what the USSR and UK troops shall do that are in other nations, as well as the
status of the former UK colonies. We will keep you updated on what occurs there.
Lastly, North Korea has over-run and annexed South Korea. Since the USA withdrew their
troops, the North Koreans had an overwhelming Military Advantage, and moved in without too
much of a fight. They have proclaimed the United Korean state, and have pledged to work for
the great glory of the Great Leader.
OOC - Map coming soon. As well as updated Nation stats, I will do those tomorrow, the Map tonight, hopefully. Well? What did you guys think? That took me like 4 hours. Was it ok? I would appreciate it you PMed any concerned, I prefer dealing with those privately.
