[Mosher]

Greco-Turkish Republic​

Government: Parliamentary democracy
Capital: Istanbul (not Constantinople)
Economic Policy: Socialist
l'histoire:
Approx. one year following the collapse of the USSR and the descent of the world into chaos, the warlord, Tanik Sadik, rose from the ashes of the small town of Batman, in what used to be the Republic of Turkey. In the year since the Fall, he had assumed control of Batman and had trained its beleagured inhabitants into soldiers. Marching his army across Anatolia, they quick seized control of the nation; unfortunately, raiders from the east descended upon the eastern half, and it was soon out of their grip. Wary to venture into barbarian-infested lands, the now-Caliph Sadik marched his armies into Greece. The semblance of government that remained, which was on the eastern coastline, surrendered immediately.
Tragedy struck in 1995. Sadik lost a long, drawn out battle with testicular cancer and perished, on the 25th of March. Sensing a chance to become free of the Turk yolk, the Greeks rebelled. Unfortunately, they were crushed by Turkish General Emir Değirmenci. Değirmenci, knowing that utterly crushing and humiliating the Greeks would only brew more rebel sympathy, the now leader of Greece offered dual Greek-Turkish rulership over the nation, and began elections; the first Turkish prime minister was Cem Yılmaz and the first Greek prime minister was Iason Metaxas. Ruling benevolently and strong, with socialist tendencies, they reformed the nascent Greco-Turkish economy into one of a socialist structure... and now the year of 1998 dawns on our beleagured people.

Novum Imperium Romanum Sacrum​

Capital: Munich
Government: Constitutional Monarchy de jure, Absolute Monarchy de facto
Leader: Emperor Streiter Wernher von Niederbayern
Language: German, Slovenian, Italian
Social Policy: Theocratic
Fiscal Policy: Interventionism
Trade Policy: Protectionism
Monetary Policy: Monetarism
Currency: Imperial Franc
Foriegn Policy: Imperialist
Religion: 75% Catholic, 15% Protestant, 10% Other
History: After the collapse of West German authority during the chaos caused by the near-collapse of the Soviet Union, the various states of south Germany reasserted their independence; in one of these states- Niederbayern- a charismatic man by the name of Streiter Wernher rose to power. Using his natural talent with words & magnetic personality, he was able to sieze control of the city of Landshut and declare himself King of Lower Bavaria. He spent much of the next year gathering allies & spreading feelings of Bavarian nationalism throughout his realm; in 1992, with widespread popular suport & the aid of the states of Tyrol & Salzburg-Kärnten, he invaded the neighboring country of Oberbayern. The fighting was swift but brutal, and in 1993 Oderbayern was partioned between Niederbayern & her allies.

6 months later, citing a comment made by the leader of the Primorskan Republic as a pretext for war, Niederbayern & her allies invaded the country. Once again, the forces of the Niederbayerner Alliance were victorious, and the Primorskan Republic was partioned betweenn the three allies, with Gorenjska going to Tyrol, Notranjska going to Salzburg-Kärnten, and Primosrka proper going to Niederbayern. The Niederbayerner Alliance was now one of the more powerful power blocks in Central/Southern Europe, with much of Southern Germany, Austria, & Western Slovenia under their control. In 1995, the Republic of Lombardia approached the Niederbayerner alliance with an offer they could not refuse: Lombardia will join their alliance, which would then invade the various North Italian States. Two months later, they were ready to stike, & launched a coordinated assualt upon the states of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Venetia, Trentino-Alto Adige, & Emilia-Romagna. The fighting lasted a year & a half, and at times it seemed the Niederbayerner Alliance would taste the bitterness of defeat, but in the end, they triumphed; Lombardia took the states of Venetia & Emilia-Romagna, Tyrol took Trentino-Alto Adige, & Friuli-Venezia Giulia was split between Niederbayern & Salzburg-Kärnten.

The relationship between the members of the Niederbayerner Alliance was now very close, and in order to better secure themselves from foriegn aggression they convened in the city of Venice to discuss the possibility of forming a Unified Nation. The talks carried on for four months, during which the representatives proposed & discarded a number of possibilities; eventually, they settled on a revived Holy Roman Empire, feeling that such a nation would promote national unity much better than the Bavarian, Austrian, & Italian centric nations that had previously been proposed. Streiter Wernher, being the only monarch in the Niederbayerner Alliance, became Emperor by default, with the position intended as nothing more than a figurehead. The leaders of Lombardia, Tyrol, & Salzburg-Kärnten underestimated the cunning of the new Emperor, however, and through the careful manipulation of Parliament & with the support of the Catholic Church, he was able to secure near-absolute power for himself. Now the Emperor has consolidated his hold upon his new Empire, and is beginning to look beyond his borders once more...

History: During the 19th century, many East Asians, mostly Chinese, emigrated to the western coast of North America, forming the various Chinatowns. In some cases, Chinese became the largest ethnicity in the city, as was the case with San Francisco and Vancouver. However, during the last years of the Cold War, the Republic of China fell under the Communists, and so most of its then 21 million population, refusing to be ruled by their enemies, escaped overseas as refugees towards the western coast of North America, into the ports of its allies the United States and Canada. Following the collapse of the United States, these refugees formed government as the Jinshan Republic.

History: As apartheid gained enemies in Southern Africa, Minister Adriaan Vlok looked for any way to escape the wrath of the majority Africans who opposed his cruel policy. When Russia fell, and the world sifted into chaos, he saw his chance. As his nation fell around him, he led his men to a new land- India. With British rule a recent memory, it was not difficult to institute new Apartheid over the Indians, and a system of rule was developed under the numerous wealthy whites who financed Vlok's operation. Now, as minister again, it is his duty to completely wrestle control from the unruly masses and deliver it into the hands of Christian souls.

Will Gorbachev in his continued process of turning the USSR into a democratic force succeed in repairing the Soviet Union?

No Christos. No Greece occupying anything.

Double posting since I just noticed.

Nations that don't make sense to me will just get a flat 20% revolt chance every turn since I really do not have the patience to explain what's acceptable with a point-of-divergence of 1990 and what isn't (it is only 1998 so there shouldn't be gigantic demographic shifts shifts or anything of the sort).

For now, Krz and Christos. Christos's is so off-the-wall that the attempt is flat out rejected. Krz, yours looks like it would make sense but with a PoD of 1990, I would probably need to see how it happened since I'm having trouble imagining how it would.
