Due to the unfathomable validity of the arguments of a few people on chat (Civ'ed NC, and Chester amongst others) I will be picking this up again in a bit. I am considering doing a time-skip of a few years though to reduce unclaimed territory.
So you can, if you want maybe send in an idea of your PAE or stories for the next few years - we'll have to sort out things like wars too so PM me if you had any intentions for war and suchlike. At the same time I will open up suggestions for how to improve the game now.

 

[Ailedhoo]

This will be my vision of the WAC...

Red is critical to claim; gold is additional by your permission.

 

[Civ'ed]

If the 5-year timeskip is true then
a) the UAC is defeated and redivided into Congo, Equatoria, and Cameroon
b) South Africa is restated as Rhodesian Puppet
c) Madagascar is taken as scientific area
d) LRAD and NOD are used in the Rhodesian army
e) Urquhart is not reelected, replaced instead with John Farraday of the Liberal Party

 

[Robert Can't]

For the sake of argument. Everything that players planned to happen has happened. Hence the PAU-Germany-Australia war was a thing.

 

[WhiteRobber]

For the 5 year timeskip....
- the "thing" with Sichuan
-some expansion ( see map for the "thing" )
-President Je Sung resigns, president Dae Chojun takes his place
-The Gangnam Restoration Program becomes the Asian Progress Program (APP) and extends to most Asian nations that accept it.
-Infrastructure upgrades everywhere
-A second Geothermal power Plant open in the Sakhalin island
-the East of Siberia is colonized, people are paid 1000$ a month and don't pay taxes if they live there.
-The merit reward system expands.
-Yearly Dota 5 Championships take place. The winners are: 2108 - France; 2109 - Indonesia 2110 - Indonesia ; 2111 - Gangnam ;2112 - Indonesia

Malacca takes all of Borneo, Sumatra and the Philippines.

 

[Robert Can't]

Malacca takes all of Borneo, Sumatra and the Philippines.

^^This, great job. It had flaws, but it was decent enough. I was going to leave, in any case.

Discrepancy detected

 

[JohannaK]

I just want to see it happen. But I will subsequently leave.

Suez will have reopened and the national railway project will be completed; Jerusalem will have approached Salisbury on actualizing Cape2Cairo through the Pan-African Railway Company, jointly controlled by all participating states. In order to safeguard the route, the UAR would first claim the land for the track and then establish local governments with shares in the Company. Estimated completion time would be 10 years minimum, but if Rhodesia does the same, construction time would be halved and the last spike might have already been driven:

Peacekeeping operations in Japan will have proceeded under UNJARMIS auspices (and remain open to other states' participation), but with the additional goal of utterly breaking remaining Ruchang loyalists and Shiro's militias, which can be reasonably expected to have continued their warlordist practices.

Also, Syria will have produced a revolutionary green car dubbed the Olive, because screw Friedman.

We're fine with this as long as the new african governments are part of the AF primarily.

 

[christos200]

I send my orders in PM. Just for those who are in East Asia, my expansion will be in Burma and East India.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

We're fine with this as long as UAR can into AF.

 

[Civ'ed]

hmm... The UAR, being a power centered in the Asian city of Jerusalem, may be an observer.

 

[Terran Empress]

here is Australia's planned expansion for the time skip.

I will continue to take Papau New Guinea, I will take the former British Islands in the Indian ocean. I will then move to take New Zealand from the terrorists and rebels that currently control the land.

Finally I will move into India and create Australian Bengal, and Australian Dravida as colonies of Australia-New Zealand. The goal is to acquire India's sources of thorium.

Map explanation:
This is a long-term territorial goal. I don't care in which order I claim as long as I have that. All these territories are really in many the leftovers of the planet, deserted and nearly inhospitable, so for example archipelagos at siberia should be claimed as one province. I will build infrastructure and trade posts there.
I will have basically, all of Oceania, including the green island in Hawaii. By force, if necessary. That nation is collapsed, from what we can see.
-The territories I 'think' that they are already part of someone, like Panama or Alaska, I painted them in lighter blue. If they are really so, I retract these claims, although I am open for acquisitions through diplomacy (buying).
-The whole thing about the Bering Strait is to enhance trade through the so much dreamt north passages, now that after the cataclysm the poles have receded very much and are practicable, and so linking the Pacific with Europe in a faster way.

Other directives apart from territorial expansion:
-80% of my whatever powers, decisions, influence, etc. I have to Sea: world's biggest navy, sea research, salty cuisine, trade economy (remember the art collection, initial base of our economy), etc..
