The Republic of Rhodesia announces the reshuffling of administrative divisions within the Republic seeing as more claims in Mozambique are being made.
The Republic of New Rhodesia is now ruled as a more federal republic with Nations corresponding to pre-collapse borders, and provinces representing pre-reorganisation regional borders.
So far there are only two Nations: Rhodesia and Mozambique

Defining the Platonic Caste System
Dr Vito De Vita of the Sapienza University of Rome
Dr Vito De Vita of the Sapienza University of Rome
The Platonic Republic proclaims itself to follow the ideas of Plato’s Republic in the form of his envisioned state. This Platonic Republic as it now proclaims itself envisions itself in fellow of the virtue of justice by harmonising the virtues of moderation, courage and wisdom, set in a colour code as demonstrated well by the Platonic Republic flag.
Spoiler the flag :
Let in this emerges a secondary consideration: that of a caste system developed by line of Plato. These castes are set to represent the three virtues which combine for justice, set to represent Plato’s vision of the soul. The productive, protective and governing castes are each set in strict accordance but are not set in notion of birth for the child rearing and educational system of the Platonic Republic is set to trail each individual to determine the class they belong to, for it is personality not birth which is important to the Platonic Republic. Hence the child of a ruler could become a member of the commoner class, which is consideration as the commoners are the largest caste by populace with the rulers being the opposite in number obviously. The caste are also strictly divided by a colour coded scheme for their clothing; each class member is expected to wear the colouring of their caste and it is forbidden for them to wear a colour of a different caste. Notably special occasions does highlight the wearing of the national colour of the Republic: yellow. Whatever the castes will be defined their roles overall is designed for hierarchal harmony.
As for the castes I will define...
The Productive, Worker or Commoner Caste
Represented by the virtue of moderation, the abdomen and the colour red, this caste is by populace the majority but are the lowest in political power between the three castes. They are the factory workers, the farmers, the builders, the clerks, the merchants, the plumbers etch. In schools they are of the primal education notion. These correspond to the "appetite" part of the soul.
The Protective, Warrior or Guardian Caste
Represented by the virtue of courage, the chest and the colour green, this caste is, not surprisingly, made up of the military but the Platonic Republic also classes the police and medical personnel as of this caste. In education they are meant to test physic. These correspond to the "spirit" part of the soul.
The Governing, Philosopher Kings or Ruler Caste
Represented by the virtue of wisdom, the head and the colour blue, the philosophers are the best ones qualified to be kings according to Plato. In education they make up the top professors and the examiners. Those who make up this caste are meant to be intelligent, rational, self-controlled and in love with wisdom, well suited to make decisions for the community. These correspond to the "reason" part of the soul and they make up a significant minority yet process the final word.
In Consideration
Note that education has its roles in how to determine the caste of the individual and to also provide continued observation of Plato’s Republic. The Platonic Republic does allow a represented of the Commoners and Warriors to the Philosopher Council, the highest body of Platonic Republic made up of the Philosopher Kings (and Queens), but the voices of the other two castes are there as to voice consideration of castes, not to have the word of power as the kings have, although the military does have power over the commoner caste. This is taking of some liberties to Plato’s word as some interested considerations for the nature of the Platonic Republic…

RC what do you imply by Syria not being independent? Do you want Assad to send the Idarat al-Amn al-Siyasi to make you disappear?

Texarkana, while normally against unilateral missions such as this, does hope Japan the best when it comes to ending the violence in Vietnam.

2104 National Elections in Monaco:
2104 National Elections in Monaco:
Every two years, in the middle of October, all of Monaco elects councilmen (or women) to represent their administrative district in the Imperial Diet located in the city of Monaco itself. It is the highest legislative body in the Empire. The Imperial Diet now contains 13 council-members, one for each region. Some of the parties that run candidates for office are:
Imperial Party
The oldest and the ruling party of Monaco. Heavily favored by the nobility and the military. Supports expansion and the retention of noble privileges.
Liberal Party
The party of big business. Favored by wealthy industrialists, entrepreneurs, and the growing middle class. Supports international cooperation and trade along with development of urban areas and industry. Generally votes similarly to the Imperial Party.
Labour Party
Oldest opposition to Imperial Party. Favored by urban workers and some immigrants. Supports higher wages and better working conditions. Major disadvantage is that urban labourers are not a very large portion of the population.
Monaco First Party
Relatively new Conservative political Party. Favored by rural people. Has recently gained popularity from its opposition over-expansion and membership in international organizations such as the UN or MECTU. Supports small businesses, traditional values, and government on a more local level.
On October 15, 2104, Monaco cast its ballots. Turnout was unusually high this year, as 51% of eligible voters went to the polls. The Imperial Party won the most seats as always, but other parties made some gains. The changes in power are as follows:
19th Imperial Diet, 2102-2104:
9 members
8 Imperial
1 Liberal
20th Imperial Diet, 2104-
13 members
9 Imperial
2 Liberal
1 Labour
1 Monaco First

Nedim, when you contribute to my IOT in a way other than posting images/videos of Syrian nationalists then I will consider you a self governing nation.

Can't Mossad the Assad. Thor is my witness. Also your dislike of Syrian Nationalist videos and AMVs (Assad Music Videos) disturbs me. Have some before you judge.

Attention: the Platonic Republic has purposed, with the UAR's advise, a gold standard benchmark for MECTU to follow. All members of MECTU are advised to cast their ballots and to debate the rate. All Mediterranean should consider being members for the better of their trade. Remember: we are a regional body, so we are not competitors with global trade organisations like the IFTL but rather a regional body you can be member of at the same time as the IFTL.

The UN now has the chance to vote in the Olympic Game's return. Naturally we Greeks feel that Athens should host the first games in decades for symbolic revival.

Intervention in Vietnam: The Japanese Fleet in South China Sea
After learning of the atrocities and genocides of the Vietnamese Warlords and the pleas of the Vietnamese people for help, Japan has send a huge armada of battleships and carriers, along with two Army Groups (Army Group XII and XVII) of the Imperial Japanese Army, to restore peace and order in Central Vietnam.
The commander of the peacekeeping force is General Oyama Iwao. The Japanese air and naval forces have begun a huge bombardment of Central Vietnam. More than 1,000 tons of bombs and 200 cruise missiles have been fired at military and economic centers, airports, military bases and HQ, as as well as power stations and communication centers.
So far, central Vietnam has no electricity at all and all communications have been severed. This is part of Oyama's plan, whose strategy is to copy on a larger scale the bombardment of China and Taiwan. Oyama believes that by destroying the communications and the economy of the enemy, the enemy army will collapse without the need of a large scale land battle.
The Vietnamese warlords have been unable to defend themselves, as almost all airports and planes in central Vietnam have been destroyed, thus giving the Japanese air force almost total air superiority. The Japanese air force has tried to limit civilian casualties by using smart bombs when bombarding civilian centers, however casualties are inevitable and 3,000 Vietnamese civilians have been killed. The military casualties of the Vietnamese is 5,000 dead and 13,000 injured, while the Japanese have lost 30 pilots.
In a few days, the land invasion will begin. The land offensive will be spearheaded by the 7th, 9th and 17th Imperial Japanese Marine Corps (IJMC) and the 6th, 11th and 12th armored brigades, whose job will be to destroy any enemy resistance and capture strategic locations. Once this is done, the Army Groups XII and XVII will secure the cities and the countryside of central Vietnam.
The Imperial Mainland Japanese Army: New operations in China
The Army Groups VI, VIII and IX of the Imperial Japanese Army, which have been fighting in China and Taiwan, have been moved to a new command, that of the Imperial Mainland Japanese Army and have been renamed Army Groups I, II and III. The new Army shall be under the command of General Toyotomi Hideyioshi, who commanded the three Army Groups in the invasion of China and Taiwan.
The new Army shall begin new operations in Coastal China, with the goal of securing all the East China coastline and defeating the Chinese Warlord Sun Ce, who commands an army of 200,000 men, mostly untrained and badly equipped conscripted peasants, and is in control of much of Eastern China. A new offensive is about to begin, as a Japanese armada prepares to bombard Sun Ce's forces.
The offensive will be mainly an armored thrust spearheaded by 6 armored brigades. The offensive will be supported by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force, who will bombard military HQ and economic and communication centers in all of East China. General Toyotomi says that "Victory is the only outcome of this operation. Sun Ce's forces will not be able to resist our armed forces and soon peace will be restored to all of Eastern China. Soon, our operations shall expand in Central China."
