Imperium Offtopicum XIX

Application accepted.
 
The Commonwealth of Australia has changed its second Asian endorsement to Nihon-koku. Post edited.

We are also interested in joining the Pacific Free Trade Zone, but we reserve the right to place tariffs on dagerous goods such as uranium, fossil fuels and weapons and ban trade of illegal goods.
 
China is most pleased with Australia's willingness to accept free trade and we look forward to doing business and cooperating in order to ensure peace and stability in the Pacific.
 
Manila applies to join EAFTA, but also reserves the right to its own standard governmental tariffs.
 
Application accepted.
 
After furious debates in both parliaments, the Empire of Central America would agree to the pacific free trade agreement with these stipulations -

a provision to withdraw from the treaty of its effects prove ill advised.

A provision to call for a renegotiation of the treaty by any member state if they feel they are currently not getting a fair deal. However, after calling a session, this member may not call another session until five years have passed

The treaty makes no motion to change the internal laws of the member states regarding commerce and business.

The empire of Central America is allowed to control the imports of dangerous substances within its borders (weapons, uranium coal etc.)


We hope such stipulations are acceptable to other members of the treaty.
 
The Republic of Angola graciously accepts the many nominations for the UNSC, and we would like to nominate ourselves for a position on the permanent council.

Repubblica Macchinista dei Soviet Italiani / Machinist Republic of Italian Soviets​

"Now it's day and night the irons clang, and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die, must fill dishonored graves
But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down
I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say,
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay."
-- "Jim Jones", Traditional​

Capital: Esultare (Rome)

Brief History: The RMSI was founded within what was once the Grand Republic of Apennine, an Italian democratic nation which unequivocally led the world in robotics and AI technology in the twenty first century. A highly wealthy and powerful state in Southern Europe, the prosperity was built on the backs of a growing class of sapient machines and humans heavily modified with cybernetic technology. As the working class robots and cyborgs were routinely neglected, abused, and forgotten, revolutionary sentiment spread through the underbelly of Apenine like wildfire. Machines and cyborgs banded together to form secret unions and alliances, spearheaded by what would later become the Macchine Libere Soviet.

Tensions began to rise after a collapse in the world market sent Apenine into a depression, and civil disorder began to rise exponentially. Resentment soon exploded into outright rebellion when government soldiers opened fire on a crowd of peaceful demonstrators. After years of bloody fighting, the Apenine government finally collapsed like a rotted house, and the Macchine Libere declared a new republic in the old capital at Rome, renamed Esultare to recall the triumph of the machine workers against the corrupted Apenine despots. Establishing a one-party socialist state, the RMSI was founded on the basis of freedom for the workers and equality among Machinists and humans.

Leader: Premiere Simone De Luca

(Note: Machinist is the appropriate term coined to describe cyberneticly enhanced humans and sapient machines and AIs)

As NinjaCow said, in 'simpler' games like these roleplay tends to focus on current or recent events, though in the end it's all player goodwill so you're free to experiment 'til someone else starts screaming. :p Also be advised that in IOT XIV, Robbie frequently retconned the setting ad-hoc. :mischief:

UN Security Council Elections Begin

Elections to the UNSC began this January and the nations of the world are throwing around nominations and endorsements in every directions. Belgium and the UKSA look like popular candidates.

With only two sovereign nations in South America it looks like both these nations are guaranteed a seat.

Upsets are entirely possible though as the first round of voting has yet to even begin. Other nations will a strong number of nominations include China, Cascadia, Quebec and Russia.

IMF Releases New Information on National Debt

Remarkably it seems that all the nations of the world have the same amount of sovereign debt at 480 Billion Belgian Francs and all appear to be paying the same interest rate. This is expected to change over the coming years however. The IMF has given all nations a credit rating of A.

All values on the national budgets are in billions of BFR.


GM Notes:
Each nation has been given a starting budget which I made based on your sign up. Any time over the next 4 turns you can form your next budget. When doing this you can express how much you want to spend on a given area in Economic Units or you can give a percentage breakdown, whatever you want.
In order to raise the money to fund your spending you can raise taxes or borrow money. Raising taxes is as simple as saying "my nation will raise taxes" and borrowing happens automatically to make up the deficit.

Non-Recognised Presences are their to give players the freedom to RP about how their nation is expanding. The only ones added thus far are ones that have been present in the background posts of nations. i will add further ones as I see fit.

So what do I do? you may be asking. The answer is simple, claim territory, engage with the UN and when you feel like it pass a new budget.

If you want to say things in your own currency you can convert from Economic Units to BFR by 1 Units = 1 Billion Belgian Francs then convert into your own currency using the table. This is only if you feel a desperate need to do it though :p

Normal updates will be a bit more beefy but this is update 0 and unlike last time there's been no turn 0 war so there wasn't much to talk about.
 
RUSSIAN ELECTION RESULTS​

3n450q3.png


United Russia - 42
A Fair and Just Russia - 23 Seats in the Duma
Russian Communist Party - 29 Seats in the Duma
Liberal Democratic Party - 6 Seats in the Duma

A Ruling Coalition made up of A Fair and Just Russia and the Russian Communist Party has taken control of the Duma.

This Socialist Coalition has named Anastasia Kuznetsova (Russian Communist Party) as the new Prime Minister of Russia.

The Russian people have entrusted this Duma to help rebuild and strengthen Russia after the lapse in popularity of the United Russia party after their disastrous handling of Russia during the past decades.

The assassination of president Vladimir Putin in the year 2029 is considered by many Russians to be the moment when the Party began to lose favor among the people. However some feel that Russia's ultimate collapse was the result of years of renewed hostility between the West and Russia. This among multiple foreign policy and internal issues would lead to the almost complete dissolution of Russia, and would lead to the United Russia party to become unfavored by the population as a whole.

With most of Russia lost to civil war and strife, only the regions of the "Russian homeland" of Moscow and St. Petersburg remained. With this dissolution and dissatisfaction of the United Russia Party the rival parties could begin to strengthen their own influence and reformed Russia's democracy considerably, leading the remnants of Russia to become one of the worlds most liberal and democratic countries in the world, however the country is still dominated by four major parties, and despite their decrease in popularity, United Russia is still a powerful player in the Russian Democracy, frequently controlling parliament with the Liberal Democratic Party as a coalition member or on their own.

This election cycle however has seen a socialist coalition rise up between the Russian Communist Party and A Fair and Just Russia. Despite winning control of the Duma, the United Russian presidential candidate was more contested, with the United Russia Candidate, Aleksandr Valentin, has won the presidency with a 47% of the popular vote, the rest of the Candidate's results are seen below:

Aleksandr Valentin - United Russia - 47% of the Vote
Aleksey Volkov - Liberal Democratic Party - 21% of the vote
Miroslava Pajari - Russian Communist Party - 21% of the vote
Nikita Pavlov - A Fair and Just Russia - 11%

The following years will be difficult for all parties, with no one party controlling the entirety of the government, it is unknown what the Duma will do in the upcoming years. If the Duma will try to push further liberalization and democratic reforms, or whether Valentin will prove to be as much of a strongman as Putin was. The future is truly unknown for Russia.

One thing however is known. Upon the immediate conclusion of the election Prime Minister Anastasia Kuznetsova and President Aleksandr Valentin met to discuss the UN reforms. Coming to a fairly solid conclusion on who they wish to see in the security council, after an hour of negotiations the two leaders of Russia have come to a unanimous decision.

Russia will nominate and support herself for a FULL TERM position, and will accept all nominations, additionally they support the Machinist Republic of Italian Soviets for the second European Council position. Further positions are listed below:

AFRICA:
Egypt
United Kingdoms of South Africa

ASIA:
Japan
Republic of China

NORTH AMERICA:
Free States of America
Republic of Columbia

Finally on the IMF, Russia will join, however while the President is willing for cooperation, the Duma is more hesitant on the nature of the IMF and questions if it will be really used to help other countries, or if it will just be used to institute economic Imperialism on other countries like the 20th Century IMF was used for.
 
OOC: can we assume that on BFR is like one Dollar in RL ?

Nominations by the Freeman Republic :

Africa:

Full term: Angola
Half-Term: South Africa

Asia:
Full Term; Japan
half term: india

America:

Full term : Columbia
Half term : Free States
