Introdruction
Over time, the NES has left its beginnings as a story into a more board game fashion. Well, I want to make this prospect a story again. When a person takes a nation, they must not only engage in international relations, make war, etc., but also provide a story for the internal happenings of their nations.
In order for this to maintain as a story, and not just back-and-forth glorious victories as it turned out, battles will work a little differently. Each is expected to be fully and richly detailed, however, by a neutral noncombatant nation. This will be the first one to step up to the plate. By the end of the year (1 day in the real world) each nation must supply orders, such as military expansion, economic expansion, etc., along with any military engagements they might pursue. Should a writer choose to give a battle story and decision, they will post it first, because they take a while to write out. These are the only two rules.
Country characteristics are to be thought of while creating a story, or while a writer is describing a battle.
All information will be posted on the timeline, and this will include updates from the mini-stories in each nation, as well as the battles and expansion.
This is set in the year 2002.

Timeline:
2002 - Egypt begins civilian nuclear technology development, but Great Britain and America claim otherwise. In retaliation, Egypt halves its oil exports to America. In further retaliation, America and Great Britain declare and embarge of Egypt. Military spendings by America on Israel are cut. Italy signs MPPs with America and Great Britain, but after the killing of the Italian parliament and the invasion of Switzerland, these ties are nulled and relations are broken. Russia plans to invade Khazakstan, and under mobilization for war declares "National Crisis" and socializes the Russian industry. The invasion is, as predicted, a smashing success. Peace between Italy and the other nations is reached after a withdrawl from Switzerland. Israel begins a covert and military mission against Egypt.
2003 - Isreal invades across the Egyptian border and takes much of Sinai, but is still a fair distance from the Suez canal. Terrorist activities erupt as a bombing of the party in Rome, and the sinking of an American fleet in the Mediterranean Sea occur close together. Emperor Anders Scotterson thought to be dead but is in fact alive and kicking. Russia's economy improves due to Khazak annexation. Great Britain and America openly prepare for war against Iraq to help the Kurdish resistance. Secret police in Italy begin to eliminate political dissidents in cooperation with America to extinguish terrorism by and large.
2004 - Israel destroys the Cairo nuclear power plant, leveling two-thirds of the city. Following an indication that Israel was committing terrorist acts by this and her planned launch of cruise missiles to Memphis by the new Iranian head of state, Ayatollah Pezhman, Iran and the United States force Israel to open into peace negotiations. Iran contacts France about possible strong friendship ties. British submarines intercept the submarine wolfpack that sunk several American carriers and sink one submarine. There are no survivors, but an intercepted SOS transmission suggests the subs are of Italian nationality. America begins massive fleet expansion.
2005 - Iraq commits terrorist acts against the now-demolished Eiffel tower, London, and several other major coalition cities as they have begun an invasion of it. The explosion in Cairo is revealed to have been caused not by the destruction of a civilian nuclear power plant, but in fact the destruction of several nuclear warheads. As a result, Italy declares war on both Egypt and Israel.
