So, do I own them now, either directly or via clientisation, or are they just returning the taken territories?

A Little Sketchy
ZIAN: Welcome back to The Round Table. The Chinese Empire has recently concluded elections that saw the Republican Party come neck-and-neck with the incumbent Democrats. Here to weigh in on the consequences are Satyajeet Dipankar, Asian historian and journalist for the East India Daily; Lifen Ling, current affairs analyst from the Deming Institute; and Yan Huang, professor of political science at the University of Nanchang. Good to have you all here tonight. Mrs. Ling, start us off: what changes were there from last election?
LING: The Catholic-Democratic Coalition survived, but only just. Only two seats changed hands, but it was enough for the Republicans to threaten the Democrats' plurality. This follows a downward trend in support for the Democrats since their 3000 majority, first losing votes to the Catholics and Communists, and now to the Republicans.
ZIAN: How significant is this loss?
LING: Regarding the immediate numbers, it's almost inconsequential. More significant was the plunge in 3006: the Democrats lost 16 seats, which put them in a tighter race against the Republicans.
ZIAN: Mr. Dipankar, you've closely followed Chinese politics for years; why do you think the Democrats are losing traction?
DIPANKAR: It's symptomatic of the growing militarism within the country. The Republicans have always associated themselves with the nationalist base, whose public presence has been on a disturbingly sharp rise within the country these past years. I don't think it's any coincidence that the resurrection of Mad King George coincides with this recent upswing in party support.
HUANG: You don't think it's due to any shortcomings in Democratic policy?
DIPANKAR: I think we can all agree, the Imperial government will come up short no matter who's in charge.
*round of low laughter*
DIPANKAR: In a way it is, but only in the sense that the Democrats haven't been as bloodthirsty as the nationalists want. If you look at the past decade's track record, the government pulled some pretty aggressive stunts: the Somali blockade, declaring war on Russia. But both times it pulled out when the nationalists—certainly the Republicans—probably wanted to stay the course. They see Ngan-xiang as 'weak-willed' and ineffective, irrespective of whether or not he actually is.
HUANG: I'm not sure whether you can attribute it to a split between the parties. After all, it was the current government that initiated the 'rehabilitation' of George the First. Jing may be the loudspeaker for the nationalist rhetoric, but I don't think what Ngan-xiang has been implementing is too far removed from the nationalists' platform. They don't just posture it as violently.
DIPANKAR: You don't think all this chest-thumping we're seeing has helped Jing's campaign?
HUANG: In 3006, Republican support remained unchanged. Mrs. Ling would probably have the numbers... The Nationalists have always remained relegated to a 'niche', as it were; Jing's own combative attitude has prevented the party from making any headway with the rest of the electorate. They'd certainly never win enough support to form a majority. These elections have never been the Republicans' to win; they're the Democrats' to lose.
ZIAN: Mrs. Ling is shaking her head in amusement, so I'll pass the spotlight back to her.
LING: I don't think Mr. Huang quite recognizes the severity of the Republicans' threat. It's true that they've never had tangible mainstream appeal up to now, but Jing's goal is to supplant Chiang, and he'll do whatever he can to undermine confidence in the Democrats. He doesn't need a majority; he just needs to split the vote in his favour. Recall that in the 3012-3013 session, Jing was constantly interrupting the other parties every chance he got. The Republicans' complete lack of respect for parliamentary decorum was a major impediment to the coalition, and that's what's been eroding Ngan's standing.
ZIAN: Is there hope for the Democrats to recover? Mr. Dipankar.
DIPANKAR: It's tenuous at best. As Mrs. Ling explained, the Republicans have been systematically degrading parliamentary debate at the same time they've shifted the public discourse in a militaristic direction. In this respect, the cards are in Jing's favour; Ngan will have to come up with some truly inspirational policy in a very short time to win back confidence in his government, and this is made all the more difficult by the Empire's absolutely abysmal foreign policy. The incident in the World Bank has led to international derision; Greece has gone so far as to claim China is actively attempting to overthrow the Byzantine government.
HUANG: Now that's just ridiculous.
DIPANKAR: The point is, world opinion holds the Empire suspect, and whenever it feels isolated, its reaction tends to be violent. The Republicans are much more conductive to that sort of knee-jerk self-assertion than the Democrats.
ZIAN: Mr. Huang, go ahead.
HUANG: I think they have a good chance. Ngan hasn't done anything to discredit himself, and if the electorate is paying attention to what's happening in Europe, support for Jing will plummet by next election. The real threat they face is vote splitting by the other parties.
LING: The Democrats need to win back seats; that goes without saying. But it won't be enough simply scrounging back voters who turned to the Catholics and Communists in '06. They need to develop a strong counter to... Jing's jingoism. *laughs* It's going to be an uphill battle: the Republicans have grossly simplified the debate, and for Ngan to reply with anything less than similar mobilization will take a tremendous resolve from the coalition.
ZIAN: Both Mrs. Ling and Mr. Dipankar seem to think a Republican-led government will be markedly worse than what we've seen thus far. Mr. Dipankar, let's start with you; what might we expect if Jing displaces the Democrats next election?"
DIPANKAR: Fire and brimstone. *laughs* If the Republicans get in, God forbid with a majority, we can expect Jing to make good on his threats against the Chinese Union. Demonizing the country's neighbours was a textbook strategy of the Kingdom of China back in the day, and Jing is probably the most fervent disciple of that school of thought, at least in party politics.
HUANG: That assumes he wins a majority, though. Like I've said, the Republicans don't have a history of broad public appeal—
DIPANKAR: They've been polling in the high 30s for over a decade. That's a fairly significant percentage.
HUANG: And so far, it's been a fixed percentage. The only way the Republicans will win is if Ngan totally fumbles his second term, and even then, they'll be a minority. Jing will not be able to implement his agenda as part of a coalition.
DIPANKAR: That depends on the coalition.
HUANG: No, it doesn't.
DIPANKAR: The Catholics?
HUANG: What about them?
DIPANKAR: I will guarantee you that if Jing wins, he'll partner with the Catholics, because the Catholics are pro-George. Jing and Hon are ideological allies: they both advocate a military solution to state problems, and they both worship the image of the Mad King. I mean, for a supposedly faith-based party, its platform really doesn't say anything about social issues: they promise industry, and they promise soldiers. They're essentially Republican-lite.
ZIAN: I'm going to cut in and let Mrs. Ling weigh in on this.
LING: I wouldn't go so far as to say Hon is Jing's mini-me, but I do agree they're more alike than they are different.
HUANG: Then why did Hon partner with the Democrats?
LING: Because Hon is more pragmatic. Jing likes to throw his weight around, and it's one of the reasons his popularity remains fairly unchanging. Typically, just as he looks poised to break through in the polls, he says something totally outrageous that scares off the swing voters. Hon's campaign has always remained low-key; in fact, I don't think he was even present in the '06 debates. He doesn't want to associate himself with the Republicans because of their stigma both at home and abroad, but at the same time, he's always had difficulty crafting original policy to set himself apart both from Jing and Chiang. Most of the Catholics' support is from the less-educated demographics who vote, erroneously, more out of religious identity than affinity for the party's policy.
ZIAN: Now, I know this will terrify Mr. Dipankar, but for the sake of argument, what would a hypothetical Republican majority look like? Mr. Huang.
HUANG: I can agree with the panel; it'll be much less welcoming than anything we've seen thus far. Jing knows all the right sentimental buttons to press, but in terms of actual policy he'll fall flat on his face. His military budget combined with the proposed tax cuts will cripple the economy, and his foreign policy will completely ostracize the country on the world stage. I'd be surprised if he even completes a full term before a petition circulates to boot him.
LING: You think he'll burn himself out?
HUANG: Even with a majority, he'll be forced to retract simply because the public won't stand for it.
ZIAN: Mr. Dipankar, what's your forecast?
DIPANKAR: War in five years.
ZIAN: War in five years?
DIPANKAR: Absolutely.
HUANG: Come now, you don't actually think he would authorize a wholesale blockade of the Union because they regard George as anything less than a saint?
DIPANKAR: Have you actually read any of his public statements? It's right there in black and white: he's been pushing for mobilization since day one.
HUANG: Actually implementing his policies would be political suicide—"
DIPANKAR: Which government authorized the Somali blockade? Which government threatened to break a UN blockade?
HUANG: The Democrats, technically—
DIPANKAR: Precisely. Public sentiment already tolerates a dangerous level of confrontation. It would not be an extraordinary leap to sincerely push for war against the Union, and that's been the crux of Jing's campaign.
HUANG: But openly campaigning for—
DIPANKAR: Remember—
HUANG: —war runs contrary—
DIPANKAR: Remember—
HUANG: —to any sensible—
DIPANKAR: Remember who his role model is. People who have studied the Republicans in depth are utterly terrified by the parallels between their agenda and George's régime. This was a man who destroyed Hawai'i. Destroyed it. And for no other reason than petty revenge. Now you tell me: if that's the man you want to emulate, will you be even remotely concerned with rational policy? Indians have been following these developments with baited breath: in Uttar Pradesh, in Andhra Pradesh, all across the subcontinent, there is a real fear that a Republican victory will lead to continental warfare on a scale not seen for centuries.
ZIAN: We're almost out of time, so I will give the last word to Mrs. Ling.
LING: I'm not sure if it's quite as dire as Mr. Dipankar makes it out to be, but Imperial aggression will surge, without question. The sheer relentless hostility the Republicans have been promoting has sullied parliamentary debate to the point that there really is no moderate position left regarding relations with the Union. Democrats call for escalation. The Catholics call for escalation. Even the Communists, who are traditionally the least populist party, have become swept up in the brinkmanship. On the other hand, I think there is a recognition by the other parties that the Republicans have to be contained; if the Democrats can reverse their fortunes come next election, we may see public attitudes begin to calm.
ZIAN: For all our sakes, I hope Mr. Dipankar's prediction proves false. And that's all the time we have for this episode of The Round Table. Tonight's guests were Satyajeet Dipankar, Asian historian and journalist for the East India Daily; Lifen Ling, current affairs analyst from the Deming Institute; and Yan Huang, professor of political science at the University of Nanchang. I'm Xiaoli Zian; see you next week.

China, Sumatra dispatch troops to Philippines
The Chinese Union has negotiated the deployment of combat personnel to the Philippine Republic to defend the government against rebel attack. The initiative was endorsed by Sumatra, who also pledged military forces to the country's defence as Philippine officials investigate a peaceful settlement. The peacekeeping force, which currently comprises 40,000 soldiers and two fleets, is mandated to defend government-controlled territory, and will not pursue aggressive action outside current borders.

This follows a downward trend in support for the Democrats since their 3000 majority, first losing votes to the Catholics and Communists, and now to the Republicans.

What happened was thus:
Taken territories returned.
Java loses the bulk of its industry and territory.
The 501st and its vassal horde would have royally curbstomped the Javanese anyway, so I just had them become a Tributary client to save the hassle.
Also holy crap Thorvald that RP.

Government soldiers don't usually devolve into rebel bands. In fact I'm sure most of them are happy as heck to go home rather than fight the beast that is the 501ster Empire.
Though I'm sure Kinich likes hearing how you wanted to back rebels in his turf...
Nice edit though, good sir! The Justinian Era: The Flight to New York
No sooner had Justin I taken the reins of America's government had the Arlington Republicans taken advantage of the chaos and discord to begin building their own powerbase. What had been a relatively small movement quickly budded into a major threat, with Philadelphia easily falling thanks to the deaths of most major sources of leadership.
The Treasury sat without a Secretary crunching numbers. The Defense Department lacked generals to direct the troops. The Science Department lost track of what it had been pursuing with its most brilliant brains destroyed by bullets. Within a few weeks, half the country's population was in the hands of what had once been a small terrorist group.
Taking a liking to New York City during his stay there for Taylor I's funeral, Justin decreed that an emergency capital be set up in the city. The mayor graciously offered the mayoral estate for royal use, and any vacant office space in the still majestic Manhattan skyline found new occupants. Justin told all living and able members of the Parliament to convene so they could approve his large slew of cabinet officials.
With so much overwhelming support for the Emperor, however, few wanted to go against his decisions, however, at least publicly. Justin had been sure to have a poll on support for the monarchy issued within days of Taylor's assassination; the results were naturally skewed in the monarchy's favor. Justin's government used it as further evidence that the Arlington Republicans were radicals and enemies of the popular will.
The American Civil War, however, was vastly different from the other civil wars of the time. In the others, the government had a clear advantage, usually two to one. The American state was split more or less evenly down the middle, the Republicans quite successful at raising regiments to oppose the government's professional forces. It thus would require a different approach.
The American government never built up any investment fund over the years, so could not tap into a ready pool of wealth like its peers had in their time of need. Evenly matched man for man with the Republicans, a move by either would prove fatal. Foreign support would be necessary.
Justin was naturally quick to change foreign policy's course. The antagonism towards the USSR ceased almost immediately, and a new trade treaty was negotiated to ensure a steady flow of goods between the nations. If the state could amass a bigger economy than the rebels, it could defeat them. Until then, neither side would have the courage to strike first, with each increasingly more dug in along critical locations. The rebels having set their capital up in the wilderness, a swift decapitating strike against them would not be easy either.
The Emperor did have one clear mandate, however: Philadelphia, the great capital since time immemorial, was to be the first priority whenever the slightest advantage was gained. He placed importance on the royal cemetery, as well; the monarchy was a symbol of the nation, as was the crypt all its members would be entombed within.
Hey, you're the one that wanted me to nuke Poland to prove that I was worthy for you to militarily aid me in my war, so don't go pointing fingers.
Incidentally, this will be my last post in English in the thread. Everything else is going to be in Orkish, as my NGO is a bunch of Freeboota Kommandos.

The Soviet Union has some gall to brand us as the aggressors, when our brave men and women were mercilessly slaughtered by your invasion into Partitionanian Estonia. As contemptible as any agreement with this red monster remains, we will concede peace on the understanding the Soviets accept responsibility for the death of our peacekeepers.
We were never at war.

Mandatum asks: why is the world backing down? Stalin and his minions have commence great acts of terror and aggression. Your responce is not to act but rather to make peace with a warmongering force?!
Mandatum issues the nations join its vendetta against the USSR, if not openly via war then via sealth such as funding and setting agents to cause dissent.

Armed forces find cache of Ozian experimental technology in the eastern provinces
Rumours coming out of the Eastern Provinces, indicate that the fourth division has uncovered a cache of experimental weaponry from the former Ozian regime. Our reports tell us that the discoveries include schematics for nuclear technology, although other sources have indicated that the technology uncovered was destined for asymetric warfare and could have applications for the Office of National Intelligence.
Regardless the military has denied any such find, and the Emperor refused to comment to the Times today stating "Don't you worry about that".
Katter invests in Philantrophy
Our gracious Emperor, ever the benefactor of charitable causes has indicated that he intends to invest a sizable sum in the famous philantrophy corporation to assist it in its good work. Speaking to us today he noted that "although finances mean we cannot use its services this year, we feel that this investment will reaffirm our nations intent to promote good will amongst the nations and to all sentient beings.
The Cake is a lie
Well known mass murderer, David Tanios was found dead in his cell today with a half eaten cake on his table. The cake was brought to a medical centre at the prison and was discoverd to have been infected with a weaponised biological agent, similar to the kind believed to have been developed in London before its fall. ONI agents quickly requisitioned the cake and all samples before it could be properly studied, presumably so it can be appropriately analysed in safety.
ONI has denied sensationalist reports that David Tanios was murdered by ONI as part of a biological weapons testing program.

Mandatum speaks out against the U.S.S.R. for acts of terrorism, but Brazil doubts that Mandatum has not committed any terrorist acts themselves.

The UN has made it clear that Mandatum is not a terrorist cell. We suggest perhapes a observation to see if the USSR is a terrorist power. Anyrate we suggest Brazil observes the aggressive nature of the USSR and in the name of the ballance of power ensure that the USSR does not grow stronger to the point it may wish to make Brazil a mear soviet of the USSR.
Brazil has no fear of becoming a soviet to the U.S.S.R. (for various reasons) and any espionage against them would be a violation of the agreement we have made with them.

HX: So, let's begin. Yesterday, Wang Jing, the leader of the Republicans made a speech in King George's Square. Hundred of Thousands of people came to hear his speech. Let see what he aid:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leader of the Republican Party, Wang Jing (WJ):
''People of China. See the situation we are today and see the Empire we had in the past. In the past, our Empire steched from Pakistan to Manchuria and from Mongolia to Central India. It was the largest Empire in the world. We were the economic powerhouse of the world. We had the greatest economy and army in the world. Look where we are now. The Union of Turks in the North has a far better economy and army than us. Our ancient Imperial capital, Uruqmi, is at their hands. Meanwhile, we are isolated in the diplomatic field. we have no allies. The Union and it's puppet states will attack us, unless we strike first!!! I promise you that in the next elections, we shall win!! I also promise you that we shall make cut taxes and create a strong economy. Our army will glorify again the Chinese Nation, like it did before 800 years, under King George the Great. The Union does not want peace. Those cowards Democrats wanted good relations with the Union. If so, why the union blocked our loan and allies with our enemies? We shall win.''
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HX: Dowyuang Hunsin, what was the answer of the Government?
DH: Mr. Chiang said that ''Those who dream of lost Empires that fell almost 800 years ago, either are blind or populists.''.
HX: Ok. Can you tell us more about the new economic policy of the Government?
DH: The funds given to the industry under the Government's ''Support Industry'' policy, have led to the increase of Industry. Right now the Government hopes to increase it's economy, by making a new tax that the Farmers will have to pay in products. The farmers who will accept this, will have a 4% tax cut. The farming products will be selled for a low price in China and they will be cheaper than in most Super Markets. This will lead to an antagonism between the private and public farming industries, that will lead into the Markets lowering their price and money flowing in the Market.
HX: In other news, Today the Emperor has his birthdays. He is now 32 years old.
DH: The celebrations by the people are crazy. Just see this pic:
