dont worry, if you want we can have one of our transports pick you up, we'll send our captial ship with them if you want as protection, since waiting for your own transports would cause you to miss the deadline for the vote

One division will be ready for pick up. Thanks. The commander, Jimmy Carter, has experience in this type of mission.
 
congrats on your 8000th post :)

and the nes seems to have picked up speed, i promise the best update in the nes so far as in quality.
 
how can you promise that before even reading the mostly unsent orders as of yet :p How do you know they won't be the most simple and uncreative orders thus far?
 
OOC: Looking into the thread, I've become extremely paranoid with the ah.. attention I'm recieving. Do note, in this nes I will follow the American policy of Isolationism, and if you don't bother us, we won't bother you. :(

A Brief Look at Brazil from the turn of the century to the inauguration of Vargas. - By Abel Anibal


At the turn of the twentieth century, Brazil’s future looked bright. The emperor had been banished from power seven years ago and the nation was rapidly rising under the rule of the various presidents. The economy began to boom as immigrants flocked to the country to take advantage of the rising needs for labor. The government- unlike most of the other Latin American nations- was relatively stable and managed to work together to bring prosperity to the nation. Only Paraguay’s long resistance in the War of the Triple Alliance blemished the nation’s record.

But that was as the turn of the twentieth century- not the actual twentieth century. If you look closely at the first couple of years – under the presidency of Ólivar Commeza- the first cracks could already been seen. Commeza’s presidency was marked by continuously increasing corruption and fraud. The populace became increasingly disillusioned with the government because of this and turned away from the hard-right.

Commeza’s presidency was also marked by a huge increase in immigration to the country from Europe- chiefly from Italy and France. These immigrants- mainly pools of lower class workers- brought not only their families, culture, and cuisine with them, but they also brought over their political beliefs- predominantly Socialism and Marxism. While their prescience wasn’t felt until the mid ‘20s, they would eventually have a profound effect on the country.

But the country wasn’t all in throws. The country continued to climb in both population and economic might. Industrialization continued to proceed at a breakneck rate- chiefly the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Saó Paulo. International cuisine grew and Italian and French cuisines were quickly incorporated into Brazilian society. Africans particularly also began to intertwine their culture into the tapestry that was Brazil.

The society continued to thrive- with music and dance finally beginning to become Brazilian than their European counterpart. Famous Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobes began to compile his greatest work –Bachianas Brasileiras in 1923. The Carnival was taken from its simplistic roots and was transformed into the major event in Rio in 1928 under directions from Vargas. Overall, while the early twentieth century wasn’t that nice politically to Brazil, it more than made up for in the cultural areas.

Now we discuss the meat of this article: politics. We must remember that Brazil was, in the very beginning, a colony and that much of its population was derived from the continent. But we must also remember that 200 years had passed since Brazil won its independence. European influences played a huge impact on Brazil during the ‘20s- but not from the national levels. Rather, as previously said, the greatest impact was from the poor workers.

Capitalism, Marxism, and to an extent, socialism all played major parts in Brazil’s governing. Many of the economic reforms that had been taken during the twenties were due to the influences of socialism. The populace- like their counterparts in much of South America- was increasingly against the old ways and tended to lean to the left. The majority of the seats in the Congress turned over from the landowners to the left-winged mass. As such, the Congress became able to pass major reforms that the landowners had prevented in earlier years- including reforms that took much of the landowners’ precious land away from them and put it to state use.

None of this- other than the last act- would have had a major part in Brazil’s history if it wasn’t for one man: Getúlio Vargas. Born in Saõ Borja in 1883, and having attended law school in Porto Alegre by allowance from a government grant, he was a natural statesman and orator. The man came from poor farming parents from Italy and grew up with the ideas of Marx all around him- the biggest influence on his governing style.

The man’s first entrance into politics came 1922 when he was elected into the Brazilian congress. He exerted a major socialist influence while in the office- introducing many of the left-wing reforms that took place. He gave up his seat in 1924 to take the position of minister of finance. He spearheaded the effort to spread industrialization in Brazil and was generally well-liked in the country.

By June 12, 1927 Brazil was beginning to implode. The country, under the rule of a coalition led by incumbent Washington Luís and his heir-apparent Júlio Prestes, was facing extremely rampant corruption. A major scandal broke when it was reveled that thousands of pesos were diverted from the treasury into the hands of greedy officials. Much of the population had no support for the current regime and the poor rioted throughout the country in response.

The results of the rioting would become known as the October Revolutions. Luís and Prestes were disposed of and exiled from the country by a military coup supported by the mass populace. Vargas, as the population would soon discover, was the mastermind behind the coup. Using his influences from his original position, along with the ones came from being minister of finance, managed to organize the coup that overthrew the republic in October.

In December of 1927, Vargas gave his infamous lines:

(Vargas stood in front of a podium on a large, white balcony speaking both to the leaders of the coup sitting behind him and a large crowd stretched out in front of him.)

“My brothers-in-arms, this day have finally come for our people! Never again shall the corrupt be allowed to rule over our glorious public, never again shall the rich exploit the poor for their gain, and never again shall we submit to the will of the so-called higher classes! Estado Novo - the new state- shall be built from the ruins of the old fledgling republic! March forward to freedom and democracy, my brothers-in-arms, march forwards! Take what is yours by god-given rights!”


Note: Yes I skewered history a bit. But oh well. Vargas would take power in three years anyway. And, as always, 95% BS/ 5% Truth.
 
And mine doesn't start with a capital letter. :p YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS GRAVE INJUSTICE! I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE! :mad:

Not that I care, really. ;) Nice to see Vargas in power, shame I failed to do him justice in that Cold War NES...
 
All are fixed and now look right,
This NES's future sure looks bright!
The nations dance with stately poise
Without the clamor of war's sharp noise.
 
You forgot to add numbers to the names of several benumbered NESers, plus conehead's name also should be uncapitalized, however. ;)
