Imperium OffTopicum XIV

[WhiteRobber]

The Six nations of China, together with the transitional State of Beijing and the Gangnam Republic have decided to unite, for the progress of the nations, and for the well-being of the people. Therefore, the new nation of Greater East Asian Republic is formed.

The Glorious Map:

=============

The Government of the Greater East Asian Republic Announces;​

- The Gangnam Restoration Project will expand to encompass the entirety of the Greater East Asian Republic. It is currently acquiring new scientists and engineers for the transition to a continental scale and will be renamed to "The Horizon Program". It's aim: to make the GEAR a self-sufficient nation that will excel at infrastructure, production, workforce, education, and safety.
- Two secondary Geothermal power plants will be built , one in the Sakhalin Island , and the other in an undisclosed location in central China. These, along with the GUGEOP Power Plant in Seoul, would provide the Republic with sufficient energy to sustain itself and any allies it may have.
- The Banking system will be refined to provide flawless services to it's clients and to produce income; The Bank of Asia will operate in the whole world to facilitate transfers and building of income.
- The Winter Olympics will be resumed after years of absence. They will take place each winter in a random mountainous location in the world, funded by the GEAR.
- The first Global TV Network, GameNet TV, will begin broadcasting from Beijing, allowing viewers to watch live Sports competitions, such as Championships, the Winter Olympics, and even eSports competitions, such as the Annual International Dota 5 Championship.
- With the expansion of the Republic into Siberia, it's natural resources and the vast space will be used for the Republic's good. Families will be paid 1000$ a month to move to colder regions to even out the population and to expand the possibilities in Siberia. Investors and companies are advised to invest in the economic rise of the area. Thermally-secured shelters are currently being built in possible areas of interest. Uninhabitable places are turned into fields of eolian centrals, to provide even more energy for the everyday use of the population.
- Hospitals are being reopened. Volunteers and retired doctors and researchers will aid in the creation of cures for new and old diseases alike and will provide cheap and effective medication and medical services to all in need. Also, research will be carried out to counter the effects of radiation to help the population affected by it, both in and outside GEAR.
- Even if the current unemployment rate is minuscule, it is a stain on the reputation of GEAR. it will be cleaned up , with the relocation of the government to Beijing and the investments in energy and Siberian repopulation.
- Tourism will flourish under the new united government. Historical and natural tourist attractions will be restored and improved, national parks will be maintained properly, reservations for wild animals and plantlife , and locations reserved for further research.
- Three new universities will open, with campuses in several major cities; the Magadan University,Lhasa State University , and The University of Beijing
- Museums and memorials will be built and maintained
- Bridges, roads, railways, underground transport , naval transport and aerial transport will be expanded and improved
- The Internet will be back in complete function. To avoid the dangers of modern technology being used to hack economical and political networks, Banks and corporations will use a different network entity, GEARNET, similar to the Internet, but not available to the masses.





These, and many more, will improve life and happiness in the Republic.

==================================================
We are the Future.
We are Progress.
We are... GEAR.​

FORMATION OF THE GREATER EAST ASIAN REPUBLIC

Dà Dōng Yǎ Gònghéguó de Biānduì/大东亚共和国的编队

Daedong-a Gonghwagug ui Hyeongseong/광역 동아시아 공화국의 형성​

Delegates from the Republic of Gangnam Style, henceforth referred to within this document as Gangnam, the Beijing Government, henceforth referred to as Beijing, the People’s Republic of Han China, henceforth referred to as China, the Free Tibetan State, henceforth referred to as Tibet, the East Turkic Republic, henceforth referred to as East Turkestan, the Mongol State, henceforth referred to as Mongolia, the United Provinces of the Hui Peoples, henceforth known as Huiguo, and the Popular Republic of the Southern Hundred Yue, henceforth known as Yueguo, from which the latter six formerly constituted the once sovereign state known as the Grand Union of the Six Nations of China, and the former two were respectively referred to as their current titles as stated within this document during their durations as sovereign states, today meet in the capital of the former Beijing Government, the grand city of Beijing itself, to discuss the formation of not an inherently flawed federation or union as the disunited and inefficient experiments such as the German Empire or the Pan-American Union are, but rather of a united, solitary Republic for the varied peoples of East Asia. They meet, today to finalize an agreement that will cement the arising of a new truly global power. They meet to sign an accord that will bring eternal peace, prosperity, and freedom to the peoples of East Asia, peace, prosperity, and freedom that will never perish in the face of rampant imperialism, tyrannical radicalism, and class oppression. They meet here so that they alone may form, without arbitrary ulterior motive, a true island of peace and prosperity that will lie unperturbed, undisturbed in the sea of strife, war, and poverty that dominates a majority of our planet today. With the birth of this new nation comes a new glorious era of stability and growth to the united East Asian peoples. For it is this new nation, the Greater East Asian Republic, that will guide the world into a global society of peace and prosperity, and it is the Greater East Asian Republic that will guide both scientific and financial advancement as well. With the signing of this agreement, the former Republic of Gangnam Style, the Beijing Government, and the constituent states of the Grand Union of the Six Nations of China will henceforth be bound in perpetuity to the Greater East Asian Republic, and will be incorporated into this new grand global power.

HENCEFORTH, a new sovereign political entity will be created, based in the city of Beijing, to administer the territories of the former Republic of Gangnam Style, the former Beijing Government, and the former Grand Union of the Six Nations of China.

HENCEFORTH, the former People’s Elective Administration of the Grand Union of the Six Nations of China will be dissolved, placed under temporary military control, and subsequently annexed into the Greater East Asian Republic.
HENCEFORTH, the Beijing Government and the Republic of Gangnam Style will be incorporated into the Greater East Asian Republic.

HENCEFORTH, the administration of the Greater East Asian Republic, until further notice, and until fair and transparent elections may be organized and administered throughout the entirety of the Republic, will be placed under a joint coalition between ministerial and diplomatic groups from the aforementioned former sovereign entities.

In addition, the delegates and plenipotentiaries of the Greater East Asian Republic wish to send an invitation to the peoples of Japan to join the Republic in its goal for a prosperous and stable East Asia. Even if this beneficial offer is, for whatever arbitrary reason, declined, the Greater East Asian Republic will still move to send monetary and supply-related support to the Japanese, and, if it coincides with the wishes of the Japanese peoples as a majority, the Greater East Asian Republic will be willing to send a small pacification contingency to secure peace on the isles of Japan.

Still considering what exactly I'm going to do with this game, stay tuned.

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..

yeah we're gonna have a problem if you expand in north america

Panama is a part of the Pan-American Union

 

[WhiteRobber]

-*gibberish about wanting to rule most of the Pacific coast*

The GEAR would gladly offer you updated maps of the regions, as it seems that your outdated Oceanian maps cause friction with multiple large political entities.
Please refrain from declaring as yours territories that are officially owned by other nations, or face the consequences.
Panama, Alaska, Eastern Siberia, Sakhalin Island, the Japanese outlying islands and other territories are NOT YOURS and will never be. Attempting to contradict the claims of other nations will result in war, and your nation would not benefit from that.
Expand carefully.

 

[eduhum]

yeah we're gonna have a problem if you expand in north america. Panama is a part of the Pan-American Union

If Panama is not for sale we don't have business there, as I said.

The GEAR would gladly offer you updated maps of the regions, as it seems that your outdated Oceanian maps cause friction with multiple large political entities.
Please refrain from declaring as yours territories that are officially owned by other nations, or face the consequences.

All the new territories I propose as mine are not inevitably mine, it's just a plan of action.
It seems my interests clash with yours in some areas. We would gladly accept a map where the new republic shows where exactly these interests clash.

 

[Mosher]

If Panama is not for sale we don't have business there, as I said.

Alaska too.

 

[eduhum]

Alaska too.

Ok
RobertCan't, it would be nice to know if the Aleutian Archipelago counts as Alaska as well. If not, we do claim them.

EDIT: We see that the sakhalin archipelago is already part of the former Gangnam rep. and what is now the gear. We of course unclaim the territory. The rest of bits in Siberia are blank and thus I have the right to claim them as anyone else.

 

[Civ'ed]

out of curiosity, why claim those bits of siberia? There is *nothing*, it's freezing, it's harder to defend compared to, say, actual islands...

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

The Greater East Asian Republic notes the claims of Oceania on its rightful territory which inviolably constitutes an integral portion of Our Republic. As such, if Oceania were to make further aggressive and illogical movements to incorporate East Asian territory into their own tyranny, these attempts, no matter how futile they may be, will be seen as an act of war against the Greater East Asian Republic, and will be dealt with accordingly. The sheer ignorance that leads want-to-be colonist Oceania to presume that they, a nation arbitrarily cobbled from a diverse and distant variety of ethnic groups, has more claim to an integral territory of the Greater East Asian Republic than the Republic itself has, is truly perplexing.

The Republic highly suggests that Oceania thinks on its actions.

 

[Sonereal]

Ok
RobertCan't, it would be nice to know if the Aleutian Archipelago counts as Alaska as well. If not, we do claim them.

It does.

It is like Oceania wants to stop existing.

 

[eduhum]

out of curiosity, why claim those bits of siberia? There is *nothing*, it's freezing, it's harder to defend compared to, say, actual islands...

We ran out of islands
I would claim pixelsize territories to simulate trade posts, but I have to claim the entire province.

As for the GEAR:
I too am able to put LIE AFTER LIE mixed in a web of oratory and sophisms, but I won't don't it.
Let's thresh these last declarations:
1: The Greater East Asian Republic notes the claims of Oceania on its rightful territory. Since when? Oh! Since you self-proclaimed it. And now must I abide? (taking away the fact the I posted these provinces first)
2: As such, if Oceania were to make further aggressive and illogical movements to incorporate East Asian territory into their own tyranny… All these words mean NOTHING but blatant sinister use of words. When was I illogical when I posted a map BEFORE you? When was I aggressive since YOU have started this conflict, and YOU choose to maintain it? I don't see any tyranny at all. Our form of government is a Constitutional Representative Monarchy, and each island of our nation has a high degree of autonomy…
3: The sheer ignorance that leads want-to-be colonist Oceania to presume that they, a nation arbitrarily cobbled from a diverse and distant variety of ethnic groups, has more claim to an integral territory of the Greater East Asian Republic than the Republic itself has, is truly perplexing.
Sheer ignorance?? We demand to be treated with respect!
The GEAR, an artificial state the resembles nothing more than collage of nations pasted with super-glue, nations that englobe no less than Turkic and Cantonese ethnicities, for example, totally distant and unconnected, dares to call the mainly melanesians, polynesians and micronesians, one of the most cohesive groups of the entire planet, as one distant and varied??
The GEAR insult us, treat us like we were a puny nation that has no rights to expand to blank territories.
4: Has more claim to an integral territory of the Greater East Asian Republic than the Republic itself has, is truly perplexing.
My claims are based on the last updated map of turn 12. If you say that blank territories like Kamchatka or Anadyr were already yours you are LYING on front of everyone.


War, you say? Which nation on the planet desires war less than our 'Pacific' nation. We are the ocean, and we are it's name too. Let me remind you, in our inexpugnable island fortress of Nauru we still have all the historic and artistic treasures of your civilizations… With what will you fill your "Museums and memorials built and maintained"?
Us, who opening the north passages for commerce, were going to make you so much prosperous, and who could blockade your coasts completely, are being tried to be bullied by this wannabe-world-dominator…That calls us aggressive!!

The claims in in the tip of Siberia and the islands around Japan (except Sakhalin) are not yours. The very evidence of the turn 12 world map says it. So stop pretending they are, making thus some sort of casus belli to attack us.


That being said, we are open to negotiations on who gets what.

 

[Mathalamus]

the Roman Empire will just exist. improving the economy, and the military, but not expand anymore.

 

[WhiteRobber]

meanwhile, at the Horizon Program headquarters, news about Oceania's stubbornness reach the director's ears....


".....and they think they can claim Siberia like it's one of their tiny islands." says Chong Haewu, the chief manager
"Heh! since when are they relevant? Our scouting teams in Kamchatka did say that they saw some boat photographing the area and waving the Oceanian flag, but it makes no sense! First, their technology is not sufficient to sustain them in those cold areas, and second, it's so far away from their islands that it would make no sense to own those lands for them." said Dae Chojong, his assistant
"Certainly, they either have a deathwish or they've found petrol, which is highly unlikely." answered Chong. "Can't we just throw a wad of cash at them and be done?"
"Umm, no, they are fixated no this whole dibs thing"
"Seriously, what can they do to us? They live on low-population islands! We don't even need to fight them to kill them all, all we need is to drop a bomb in the ocean and let the wave wash them away! For God's sake, they pissed off everyone in the world!"
"Sir, we need a relevant solution to the matter..."
"Hey, do I look like I'm in charge? No. Request a relevant answer from the guys in charge, okay? For all I care, we could just go ahead and make a weapon that would sink their islands forever. Then we would grant them Siberia to live in. I'd really love to see them freezing to death in the wasteland they claim as theirs."
"But sir,that would be...cruel..."
"Cruel? That is supposing that they survive this claim altercation. I bet my two daughters that there's at least one rocket flying towards their capital right now and it isn't from GEAR."


Indeed, GEAR radars located a cruise missile heading in the general direction of the Pacific Ocean.....
Operator: "Sir, there's an unidentified missile heading towards east."
Boss: "Eh? What? trace it and do a scan for it's direction"
Operator: "Right away sir.... Sir, there's no relevant target on it's current course other than Oceania's capital"
Boss: "Did you just contradict yourself? Oceania... relevant...."
Operator: "Yes, sorry , sir. They're going to his the target in 3 hours."
Boss: "Alright, keep me updated about that. I don't want to miss it. Those beach-dwelling coconut heads had it coming for too long..."
Operator: "Sir, are you racist?"
Boss: "Are you implying that Oceania is relevant?"


==============

 

[eduhum]

<snip>

I actually loled at that


On a more serious note, I just made my arguments, and you throw away because 'implying is oceania iz relevant'
Erm, I know that we are not a superpower, but from from that to say what you said is over exaggerating quite a lot.
Also, didn't you read what I've said about Nauru's history in my intro post? Throwing a bomb? Heh. The island is unassailable. And you would loose your own artistic treasures.

Our plan is to colonize these cold places like the greeks. Don't occupy the territory, but build only ports and posts, infrastructure to create commerce between Europe and the pacific on the Arctic Ocean, as I specified in the last page. For Siberia I had to paint the entire thing blue, when I know I wouldn't occupy all the territory.
So I propose this:


I hear your response

 

[Sonereal]

Everything about that map is a declaration of war against somebody.

That being said, we are open to negotiations on who gets what.

Spoiler :

1. The diplomats of the Republic highly suggest that their Oceanian counterparts look up the definitions of the words "oratory" and "sophism".

2. Oceania is, seemingly, the only nation in the world today who continues to implant harsh and false statements in their diplomacy nowadays. It is most unwise to accuse the glorious Republic of sinning in the same capacity.

3. Apparently Oceania, as shown in the past, seems to see the historied world as a tabula rasa for their so-called 'colonial' might to stomp across. We can assure you that that is false.

4. The concept of Oceania itself was created as a catch-all term for all the various distinct islander peoples by the colonial powers of Europe who could not be bothered to distinguish each individual one, approximately three-hundred years ago. Curious, however, that the Oceanian peoples do not seem to know this. No doubt is this due to the Oceanian tyranny's ruthless state control over their education system, if it can be called such.

5. Since when did the Greater East Asian Republic ever claim any pretext of ethnic homogeneity? At least the Republic fully admits and embraces its ethnic diversity, something that Oceania seems unwilling to admit. You may comment on other nations' ethnic 'troubles' when you stop needing a translator between your Hawai&#699;ian dictator and his Nauruan people.

6. "The GEAR insult us, treat us like we were a puny nation that has no rights to expand to blank territories."

Well the Republic is pleased that at least some portion of our diplomacy seems to have reached Oceania. Congratulations.

7. It is amusing that Oceania seems to think its own military grandeur even half as great as that of the Greater East Asian Republic. Terribly amusing that the petty, outdated Oceanian navy seeks to imitate the glorious prowess of that of the Greater East Asian Republic.

8. Apparently, it seems as though Oceania has stolen various works of art and history from the former nations of the Greater East Asian Republic? There is no other reason why there would be Asian artwork in Nauru, given the fact that the nations of East Asia were unperturbed by the sort of disaster and misfortuned which the western nations suffered.

If Oceania is willing to continue its path to war against not only the Greater East Asian Republic, but also other nations in the world as well, the Republic has nothing more to say to Oceania, nor will the Republic be heeding any more of Oceania's drivel.

Good day.

FORMATION OF THE INDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE!​

(sorry for the absurd amount of provinces taken, but they were too small)

After annexing the territories according to an old UAR-Persian agreement, the Indo-Persian shah went on to "pacify" the regions in the frontier of Persia. He destroyed many jihadist organizations (although some continue to do sabotage missions). However, the Shah, Messam Ghorbani I died due to an infectation in his wounds.

On the 2110 elections that followed, the party of Tehran won and the first Shahbanu since the Sassanid times, Anahita Tehrani, was crowned in Persepolis. She settled the rest of Iran and the rest of India as well. When she finished, she began settling Afghanistan.

Her critics consider her a women with a major desire to showing off herself. She declared herself Padishah and declared the Indo-Persian Empire. This divided the society in those who thought her reign was glorious enough to have the claim recognized and those who thought that she was going too far. However, one thing is clear. She is the greatest ruler in the short Indo-Persian history.

From: Thailand
To: Australia

As we have stated above, East India is a Thai SOI. So, it would be good if you at least considering giving the Northern half to us.

 

[WhiteRobber]

Our plan is to colonize these cold places like the greeks. Don't occupy the territory, but build only ports and posts, infrastructure to create commerce between Europe and the pacific on the Arctic Ocean, as I specified in the last page.

The GEAR can do way better than you.
Firstly, we pay people to move in there to even out the population and start using Siberia's natural resources to our advantage.
Secondly, we're sending tons of money and investors in the area. I doubt that your nation can do anything similar to this.
Thirdly, economics and infrastructure are the thing that we're known for. GEAR can turn anything into a modern self-sustainable metropolis in less than a year.


Also, don't forget that there's an unidentified missile heading towards your capital. Out of goodwill, we sent a counter-missile to get it. If it catches up, you'll see fireworks. If it doesn't , you'll get hit by two missiles.
