The Gethic Hand will like to not only announce the confirmation that we are indeed aiding the CERN program but we also are entering into a non-aggression treaty and research pack with both the New Kalmar Union and Arctica. We also are signing a special trade deal with the Kalmar for the benefit of both our powers. May this aid peace and order!

We accept both Arctica, for which we are especially interested as a nation, considering about one thrid of our coalition is made of technocrats, and the United People's Republics of Yugoslavia, for which we are overjoyed, seeing that they have decided to repeat the moves of the past, being once again a founding member of the CERN Program, and reminding us of long - past times of international co - operation.

Waah waah waah, Japan got more land than me, time to game the system:
A history of Korea
Thankfully for the Koreans, the 1950 war was the last major conflict not fought with supers. While U.S. general Dwight Eisenhower had repeatedly proposed seconding Major Howitzer to the mission, mainly in an attempt to pre-empt Allied commander Douglas MacArthur's incessant petition for the nuclear option, the ongoing standoff in Europe was deemed the higher priority and the war was fought through conventional means. Korea was ultimately inconclusive, resulting in a tense, decades-long cease-fire during which time the North stagnated and entrenched while the South flourished, both sides anticipating a future, decisive confrontation.
With virtually all data on the Halifax project destroyed following the world war, partly over the memory of von Fertig and partly as a precaution against Soviet infiltration, quests to replicate the 'super serum' continued unabated, with both empires seeking to harness the power of the burgeoning super population into weaponizable form, to mixed success. The super equivalent of the atomic bomb emerged in the 1980s with the patent of the Cherenkov-Kirby reaction; as the Cold War entered détente, the US government turned from fear of the Reds to fear of its own, killing the legendary superhero Ultra and carving up his pineal gland to power a handful of reactors. The so-called C-K reactors became the holy grail of supervillains and the black market alike, either to power superweapons or as a means to manufacture new supers.
While North Korea failed to obtain a working C-K reactor, it did develop a super of its own, the psychopathic Colonel Glass of the Korean People's Army. P'yongyang also pursued a clandestine breeding programme, abducting pregnant women with the C-K strain and subjecting them to heavy radiation in a bid to stimulate dormant genes; so far is known the project was only marginally successful, and most children suffered birth defects and/or later health complications. In 1985, Glass killed South Korea's leading superheroine White Heron in a botched prisoner exchange, although the incident was suppressed by Seoul and official media pretended that White Heron had retired. For the next twenty-odd years the North held the strategic super advantage, until Glass was killed in 2014 attempting to steal a C-K reactor from the United States.
The Other's attack left the peninsula devastated; both countries having lost their star supers, the South Korean military fared only marginally better than the North in repelling the invaders, and public fears ran rampant on both sides of the border that either China or resurgent Japan would take advantage of their weakened state, fears exacerbated following rumours that a sizable and mostly intact piece of spaceship had crashed into North Korea. Fearing that P'yongyang would recover readily usable alien technology—or worse, something resembling a C-K reactor—Seoul launched a desperate attack against the North. P'yongyang attempted to retaliate with its covert nuclear arsenal, but most missiles had been destroyed in the Other's invasion and the few remaining warheads were so damaged that they exploded in the silos. The ensuing battle was mercifully short, and after only three months the starved and demoralized North Koreans surrendered.
The ensuing united Korean government is a strange hybrid of north and south, with an ostensibly democratic civilian government and reorganized military that bears faint traces of the old Northern heavy-handedness. P'yongyang's C-K breeding programme has been dismantled, with the government focusing on technology-based one-upmanship in partnership with the high-tech corporation BJGNB that more or less devotes itself to studying Other artifacts. While Seoul remains receptive to supers, it requires citizens, residents, and even travellers to submit a long-form census to a state database; critics charge the census is overly invasive but the government insists it is a safety measure owing to a string of suspicious disappearances of both known and suspected supers that began in the South two years before the defeat of the Other.

The United Kingdom would also like to join the CERN project. We believe that is is in the best interests of the whole world that all should be involved in this project. As an international initiative it can help expand our understanding and commitment to the field of particle physics and thusly science as a whole.
We also express interest in Germany's proposals for a new European Union and we would be very happy to stand with them as a founding member.

We welcome the United Kingdom into the CERN project, and are happy that they are willing to revive the ECU with as. As such, we are willing to extend the second offer to any european nations willing to join the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany into reviving our Union of old.

Since Arctica owns Iceland, would it be eligible to join?

The Italian Social Republic's armies march in the name of civilization and peace to incorporate these regions of Gallia and Hispania under the Black Prince's benevolent shadow. The Italian people, of course, wish no quarrel with our Maghreb compatriots, and our expansion into Hispania is peaceful, and we guarantee no expansion into Baetica and environs.

Link to video.
Deep within the complex that is Citidel Victoria is the primal centre of Vinsin Vancore. A meeting room in this centre consist of a great computer screen and a table with seats facing the screen. In the central seat sat Director Vinsin Vancore himself; he had bushy long brown hair complete with goatee. Is in a stone grey trench coat with dark blue strips. Wearing black leather gloves and boots. Dark red long sleeve shirt. Wearing a dark blue bullet proof vest. Dark grey trousers. White socks. Middle height.
Also in the room sat 6 other individuals; General Kasun Thyrng whose image was still of an over medalled smile. Next were the Chief General of the Gethic Intelligence Brigade, Gabriel Bainimarama. Other figures include Admiral Isabel Lal, General John Hale and Air chief marshal Naomi Khan. Finally but not least was an administrator officer appointed to oversee civilian command in the soon to be province of Vanoria, Akanahe Kaʻanāʻanā. At this moment Akanahe Kaʻanāʻanā is not in his seat but rather in the front of the screen, which images will be shown for the purpose of context.
Kaʻanāʻanā: The United States of America; “Home of the Free,” a hegemonic marvel that had dominion of the last century and the pre-alien parts of this one. This bastion of a empire now is divided, suitable to be carved up like a cake by the remains of the USA and the Gethic Hand. As the Director most gladly commanded we are to focus and lay claimant to California, from where we will make our ways…
Kaʻanāʻanā: …and set out the glories of what to be. As planed the blue California will be joined by cyan future provinces of the Gethic that we will desire the…
Hale: Command Kaʻanāʻanā! Command! We are the wasting time if we do diplomacy with ruins!
Thyrng: Patiance Hale! Tis better to safe our strength then waste it.
Hale: Right…
Kaʻanāʻanā: Anyway cyan ours, purple is to be our aims but will compete or compromise with Texas over that, red we believe is Texan plans and green Cascadian… orange is Canadian and out of our issue…
Lal: …and the focus is?
Kaʻanāʻanā: May I direct the answer to the Director?
Vancore: You may.
Kaʻanāʻanā: As you can Director our strike force for California, or Vanornia as it will be known, will be but the baby step of our great North American plan. We will secure a dominion in the North American “west coast” by striving to claim inwards within the ex-United States. Nevada, as you planned, will become a beacon while the primal target is…
Kaʻanāʻanā: …Wyoming.
Bainimarama: The mineral properties in the state will provide the Gethic Hand greater development in her projects and grand the great Vancore additional glory.
Kaʻanāʻanā: As you direct.
Lal: We will need to convince both Cascadian and Texan governments to respect our sovereign claim to Wyoming.
Bainimarama: As your purpose is Mr Kaʻanāʻanā but have you the reality of it?
Kaʻanāʻanā: It is the will of Vancore I do my purpose.
Vancore: Really? Because I have heard from your… trial today is talk and… have you convince?
Kaʻanāʻanā: I did my…
Hale: The Director asked you and you will give a straight answer, otherwise I will execute you for wasting our time!
Thyrng: Hale! Please!
Vancore: Sit down Hale; tis not my interest to kill my administrator…
Kaʻanāʻanā: Thank…
Vancore: …yet
Kaʻanāʻanā: …you. Err…
Vancore: Anyrate we focus on the present before the future.
Thyrng: Of course Vancore.
Khan: Director my air forces will be prepared to aid Lal and Thyrng in the invasion of California. From Hawaii we will launch our path on its former fellow US state. As directed the Gethic aircraft carrier G.A.C.V (Gethic Aquatic Capital Vessel) Julian will serve as the bastion of command for the whole conquest of California. With my bomber aid and paradrops we will catch any resistance off guard while Lal’s battleships conduct bombardment and security for Thyrng landing force.
Thyrng: I will then commence the directive to secure Vanornia for the Gethic Hand.
Vancore: Vanornia… I will want every city claimed, every dissident dominated, every loyalist rewarded. Los Angeles will provide moral importance for the Gethic efforts; secure it with care but if you must demolish an area do so effectively so a Gethic settlement will be set in its place. San Francisco is a dead city; raze it and any other dead areas to make way to the era upcoming, for Vancore’s age is own of renewal and recreation requires termination. Returning to Los Angeles the district of Hollywood will be necessary for preservation.
Bainimarama: To control is to control the mind.
Vancore: That and to reward James Owens for his services.
Thyrng: I will do my best to secure.
Vancore: You, Lal and Khan better do more than your best to serve Vancore. I want you to cleanse the area of resistence, detain dissedents at the camps planed to be deployed and to ensure that the local populace come to see us as their saviours. I want the rich to feel protected, the poor felt liberated. This must be the way! Administrator!
Kaʻanāʻanā: Director?
Vancore: You will as your first proper diplomatic field test go to both the Texans and Cascadian, presenting our planed future claims in the former United States. Tell them that we will respect their soveriengty if they respect our dominion.
Kaʻanāʻanā: Your wish is my destiny.
Thyrng: I will head off now to commence my duty!
Khan: As will Lal and I!
Vancore: Good.
Thyrng: Hail Vancore as we claim in his name!
Vancore: Excellent. Be off administrator and spymaster for I have… to talk to Hale.
Bainimarama: Of course Director.
Kaʻanāʻanā: Hail Vancore!
Vancore: Hale?
Hale: Hail thee, Director?
Vancore: Your revised plans in the invasion of North Borneo… strategic considerations as they were for the future Vinneo…
Hale: I will show from this file sir…
Vancore: ...then I will show the world their hegemony.

ELECTIONS IN THE FOURTH REICH
Elections in the 4rth Reich are handled as they were handled in the Federal Republic before the Xeno Invasion. Elections in Germany include elections to the Bundestag the Landtags of the various states, and local elections. The federal elections are for all members of the Bundestag, which in turn determines who is the Chancellor of Germany. The 2022 federal elections, which were the first of New Germany, showed directly the National Dillema: Creation of a new nazi state or a republic. The elections showed that the people wanted the creation of a new republic, but with heavy nationalist and scientific undertones. As such, 33% of the votes was received by the Union of Technocrats, which secured chancellorship for Otto Klug, leader of the party, with the German Patriotic Party , a right - wing party which had secured 20% of the votes in the elections, and the Nationalist Liberal Party , a liberal party which had secured 26% of the votes.
However, there were other, smaller parties running around in the Bundestag. The Democratic Society, a party which wanted the complete strengthening of the Republic and the creation of a pan - humanist egalitarian state secured 7% of the votes, while 6% was secured by the Nationalist Party of Germany, a neo - nazi party. Suprisingly, 8% was secured by the communists under the Socialist People's Party.
And as such looked the first elected Bundestag of New Germany.

Military Technology Report:
Dear Acting Prime Minister Ronald Henderson,
ONeil had requested a report on the technological advances that the armed forces had made before his death. I know that you probably have more important things to deal with, but the report was almost completed so I decided to send it to you regardless.
Firstly on an unrelated note, the Civilian Research Division wishes me to tell you that we will be sending a delegation to CERN in Germany. This will hopefully help foster international cooperation that ONeil wished to see come to life.
The Drone reestablishment program has been highly successful. We believe that by the end of this month that we will be able to perform full-scale reconnaissance and air strikes against the Indonesian insurgents, which will help greatly with our peacekeeping efforts in the region.
We have been expanding the Drone program to provide a better defence against the Others. As you probably know, their elite green armoured soldiers possessed some sort of mind control powers that makes conventional warfare against them impractical. Air Strikes would cause a large amount of collateral damage and using snipers was an unreliable method to destroy them. That is why we have developed the Super Heavy Infantry Vehicle (S.H.I.V). It is a remotely-controlled weapons platform that utilizes similar technology to the aerial drones. It is equipped with a minigun and it is designed for combat in areas where an air strike would cause unacceptable collateral damage, such as urban areas. We believe that this weapon would be effective in dealing with psychic superhumans and Others, as they cannot mind control a machine. The S.H.I.V will be tested in Indonesian peacekeeping efforts.
Naval Engineers have managed to refurbish and reverse engineer the CSS Gerald R. Ford (formerly USS Gerald R. Ford) Aircraft Carrier. They have also managed to make some major improvements on the design as well. We have named this new improved class the ONeil Class and we will begin constructing them immediately. We plan to establish formal carrier battle groups to begin to standardize and reorganize our navy from the disorganized post-invasion state it is in now.
Our nuclear program is progressing well, however it will be unfeasible to maintain as large a stockpile as the nuclear nations did during the cold war. It appears that the Others intentionally sabotaged sources of uranium and other radioactive materials worldwide in an attempt to prevent their construction. Still, our modest stockpile will help assist in ensuring that our nation is secure from outside threats.
Research of alien technologies is frustratingly difficult. We cant tell a weapon from an iPhone, heck, we cant even tell if something is salvageable or damaged beyond repair. Although research of alien technology is important, it is progressing painfully slow and I believe resources could be spent better on rebuilding our armed forces using human technology. Which is why I am recommending that we reduce the funding of the Other Research Division and redistribute it elsewhere.
On another unrelated note, we need to have a discussion on expanding the NERO program, but that is probably best left for a later date.
Yours Sincerely,
Chief of the Armed Forces Richard Smith.

The United People's Republics of Yugoslavia ask to join the EU.
OOC: In case you are wondering, the EU is a defensive/research/environmental alliance, and not a political or economic one, so Yugoslavia remains Stalinist.

The Federal Republic of Germany is positive regarding The United People's Republics of Yugoslavia's proposal to join the ECU, but we are waiting to see the response of our English friends and Arctica's too, if the English deem it fit to join. Everyone is equal in our new Union.
OOC: Christos is right, he asked me and I clarified, the members of ECU are in a defnsive alliance, while also co - operating regardings environmental and scientific issues.
