OOC: First of all, I would like to remind you that all I was very tired, so it is not ideal, and I will not necessarily remember all orders. I SAID that. You might as well have noticed that. Secondly, the map is fixed.
Capulet, you brought it up to date with the other armies. Korean army is technologically advanced, but Russian army has more modern weaponry.
Erik, yes, it means that it is nuked. And I'm not sure the weapons are ready, the research just started.
Jason,
1) Those are not fully ICBMs, perhaps. Well, some of them were prototype ones, but most of them were short-ranged ballistic missiles... like the ones used by Finland. The effect is the same because Germany has everything required to deliver the attacks even without the ICBMs.
2) Forgot that part, really. It is Social Democracy, which, well, is barely half-Communism. The Russian Fascists, led by Wrangel, are likely to rebel soon. Other nationalities are mostly calm, although some Islamic fundamentalists are on the verge of rebelling - problem is, most of them need the Caliph to declare a jihad for that. Caucasus and Persia are likely to rebel soon no matter what the Arabs do, though.
3) Germany and other nations don't have much of a trade with the DU, from what I remember you refused to the German-suggested free trade. So there is not much damage here.
4) Yes, some of the Communists resent it - Israeli, Occitanian and Indochinese governments included. Numerous opposition groups within the communist governments appeared. In Catalonia and Turkey, several factions are pushing for war against Germany, and are getting more numerous. However, the world is more confused and startled then angry so far. Wait for it to sink in.
5) Is that REALLY important?
6) Huh? You mean that Brussels fending back the attack, Korean army retreating in good order, the succesful offensive in South Sudan, the fact that Italian military is at a breaking point, the Liberian landing in unprotected Congolese territory, the defeat of Oceanian navy, the fall of Panama Canal - all those things were beneficial to the Comintern?
7) Yes, it DID join the anti-Comintern coalition. The story about Libya being scared into is just popular speculation.
8) Found out WHAT from the counter-intellegence?
And btw, Finland IS a member of the DU.
Insane, welcome in. Was it the Nuclear War that made you join?
Erik, as to who didn't cut ties with Germany save for the Comintern, communist nations and direct allies - India, Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Java-Sumatra...

From: Israel
To: Turkey
If we leave it before, it will fall prey to the DU, who supported the mafia - not something unexpected. So, for PROTECTION reasons, our forces will remain on Cyprus. Note that we plan to instate democratic civilian administration for the rest of our occupation period.
Finally, our "attack" was in response to the plight of our Italian allies, who suffered from DU's and Cyprus' unlawful, illegal, and uncalled for attack. When one is your enemy in a war, the ideal course of action is to attack him.
From: Israel
To: Arabia
Out of the question. We will not restore the mafia to power.
From: Libya
To: Arabia
What for? They ARE our allies. Or would you rather have godless atheists having a base from which to attack Islam?
From: Oceania
To: APR
If we manage to liberate Indonesia from the DC, then we will assist the Hawaiian cause.
From: A few random nations throughout the world
To: Finland
We officially cut our ties with you as well.
From: Japan
To: Korea
Bah! We will not work with dishonorable Korean scum!
From: Japan
To: The World
We have made up our mind. We REENTER ISOLATION. There is no honor left in this world, apart from in Japan. And we will NOT let it be tarnished by outside corruption. All nations of the world have two weeks to withdraw all their citizens, embassies and so on.
