Orders:

Increase Airforce 2 times
 
A deal had been made with Madagascar, Russia´s old colony, which involved bulding a air base in northern madagascar. This deal was good for both nations. Russia would get an important base in range of Africa and the southern Indian Ocean and Chernorossia got needed economic help to build up its industry.

-grow army 2x
-spend money to Chernorossia to build up a Air base
 
The Madagascar people had been used in the past by numerous nations for their strategic position in the Indian Ocean. However, as time went by, Madagascar began to modernize with it's occupiers, gaining imperetive knowledge that would form the modern nation of today. However still far behind most of the world in living standards and industrialization, the nation was picking up speed and heading in the right direction. The air force, the first ever air force for Madagascar, is highly trained to the best of their ability. For the most part, the air force was the pride of the Madagascarans. However, the first task of the new Russian-controlled Press Party, who was in complete control of the nation, was to improve the disastrous economy that the Tsar had left them. It would not be an easy run, but the Party hoped to rejunvinate the importance of this tiny island by renting out military bases to other nations.

The next part would be to use the limited money gained from the leases to build industry. Factories are scheduled to build as soon as the capitol, gained from the bases, would come in. These would create jobs, and decrease the dependency that Madagascar had on foriegn nations, and increase the exports capable of the Madagascar economy.

To The World
From Madagascar

We are willing to rent out naval and air force bases upon our island to anyone who needs them. Contact us and we will work out a price.

ORDERS
Invest money gained from the leasing of military bases upon build industry. If no money comes in from leasing bases, then invest whatever money we have extra on the industry.
Grant Russia an air force base in return for payment near Antsirananan (north).
 
Heine - These differ enough, I think. And since these are the ones you usually get in Civ III (dark green, the other Japanese color, is already taken by Italy), I figured it would be easier with these.

stalin006 - It does? Well, you using a map in your NES seems familiar to me. Even though it's a different one.

conehead234 - Glad to have new people aboard. Uh... I have nothing to add to what Stalin said.

human-slaughterer - the Spanish colonists never came to California, and Sioux (especially Communist Sioux) had no reason to name their city for a Christian saint. Yes, they're Sioux alright. The city was placed rather randomly.

everyone - I am lacking orders from conehead234 and from Amon Savag. Should both or one of them send in orders, I shall begin the update. Okay?

Announcement:

- Whoever guesses the Point of Divergence of this history from our history gets a free increase in education!
 
My guess is 31 BC-AD 14, when The Roman Republic was transformed into the Roman empire. Rome didn´t become a republic and ... history changed :D

Or something happened in America like the Indians fighting the settlers successfully.
 
If the "Roman Republic" in Italy confused you, I will give you the hint - it was just plain old Italy plus several colonies and occupied Greece and Thrace under a VERY catchy name.

So both of your guesses are wrong. Next...
 
Out from the map I would guess "30 years war".

Wait a sec, the "100 years war", England kept it's land in France, defeted france and Burgundy is still..... Thats the earliest I find atm...

Thats what I see as the mayor early changes, maybe we can say it was no "Jeanne D'Arc"

Global Events:

Iroquois begin their Militarization Program, seeking to improve and increase all branches of their military.
While it would take eight years, this is much of a warning for all of the neighbors of the Iroquois.

German leadership too starts a project – the First Five Year Plan – but it is a much more peaceful one.
It is believed that it will give a certain boost to the German industry and economy, and an important increase in education.

Depression and Fascist Coup in Italy – details below!

The remaining Italian colony in Africa – Italian Central Africa – is in chaos, as white bandits, natives and deserters take control over most of it’s territory, and fight amongst each other there.
The small amount of forces, loyal to the local government, took control over the two cities and their surroundings and declared martial law.
The colonial government then petitions for foreign intervention and annexation – most of their hopes are towards the UK.

Dissent rises in German-controlled Alpine Italy. Inspired by the fascist coup, many Italian nationals seek to rejoin with their country.
While nothing like a rebellion or uprising comes yet, it may come soon...

Scandinavia, Finland and Baltic Federation announce the signing of the Pan-Baltic Alliance treaty in Stockholm.
This a Mutual Protection Pact between the three nations, though it is more like Scandinavia protecting Finland and the Baltic Federation.

Madagascar begins to offer a sale of military air bases for other nations.
Although so far only Russia agreed, some others consider it as well, and already Occitania and Oceania decided to follow Russia.

Random Events:

Madagascar’s decision to allow other countries establish airbases is already paying off, along with the plan of industrialization.
This leads to a economic boom (+1 Economy) and that leads to the growth of the new government in popularity, strengthening the unity of the Madagascari people (+1 Culture).

An earthquake takes place in the British Turkey.
While this has only minimal effect on the overall British economy, the reluctance of the local officials towards acting to save the Turkish “natives” makes a farther increase in anti-British sentiment amongst the Turks.

Spotlight:

Depression and the Fascist Coup in Italy.

“People of Alpine Italy! Throw off the German Yoke, and their false utopia, and join your motherland! It never forgot about you!” – attributed to Generalissimo Antuan Filippi, soon after the coup.

The democratic government of Italy, ever since having been elected 1899, was unstable, corrupt and unpopular, mostly because of NOT doing anything about the German control of the Alpine Italy. The people demanded action, but they got none.
Thus the government, despite struggling to save the country’s economy, lost popularity to the National Italian Party (NIP) and it’s leader, Marshall Antuan Filippi. In 1901, the Italian economy collapsed completely.
In what became known as the Christmas Coup, Antuan Filippi came to power and declared himself Generalissimo of Italy, taking dictatorial powers.

The coup was not as bloodless as expected. When a thousand of Antuan’s closest followers, the Italian Legion, stormed into the Presidential Palace, they were confronted by a hundred or so of the Presidential Guard, the only branch of Italy’s military – and one of the few groups in the population – that was loyal to the democratic government.
The Guard was slaughtered, and the Italian government failed to escape. They and their known supporters were given public execution.
Millions all over Italy (though the colonial officials did not recognize Antuan’s takeover) cheered at the victory of Antuan, many volunteers flooded the military, and the Italians in Alpine Italy begun rioting in the streets, asking for Germans to leave their country. Antuan begun considering his next move...

NPC Diplomacy:

From: Ocitannia and Oceania (separate messages, same content)
To: Madagascar

We would agree to buy an airbase on your island.

From: Italian Central Africa
To: UK

Our country is in anarchy, and the new Italian government does not care about us!
We have an offer to you – intervene against the rebels and anarchists, and the colony is yours!

From: Italy
To: Germany

I, Generalissimo Antuan Filippi, request that you return the control over the Alpine Italy – the area in dissent – to Italy.
Surely you understand that Italians should not live in Germany!

From: Italy
To: Burgundy

Friends and ideological allies!
German communards threaten all of us. We need to sign an alliance.

From: Caucasus
To: Germany

Nations fighting for the same cause – the world-wide revolution – should ally and cooperate.
We propose to create the Comitern Alliance

OOC: Amenhotep, I only grew your economy as you cannot grow economy in the same time as any other stat.

Heine, you guessed the PoD right. English beat up the French, Occitania, which was until 19th century largely independant culturally and ethnically, seceded, and withotu France, Maximillian I and his followers begun the hard and bloody process of uniting Germany.

The white areas are areas in dissent, but not in an organized uprising. If an organized uprising begins, then a “nation” will appear, with it’s own color and stats but without borders until peace with the original territory owners is signed or until the rebellion is crushed.

The naval avation project:
This is a project to make ships able to carry planes (ie get carriers) and have planes specaialy built for this, this project will also be intended to make 10 new Airwings (2 upgrades) of the special airplane, and 10 new naval taskforces to carry this wings.
 
From: Iroquois Nation
To: Empire of Japan

Your proposal has merit. We agree to the NAP, and will be glad to have an alliance with your great nation...

*below is secret*

What do you say about a joint attack against the Sioux? We could divide their territory...
 
das said:
Economy
Otherwise you can sacrifice an economy level to be able to increase all six “increasable” stats once during one turn, or three stats twice. You cannot increase a stat more then twice within a turn, apart from military stats, which you can, in case of a “sacrifice”, grow thrice (meaning two military stats thrice). Never more then thrice though.
So... Losing 1 economy level, I could increase Education twice, Army 3 times and Culture once?

From India
To Japan
We accept your alliance, although we will note that it does not bind us to invading Tibet, as they have not attacked you.
*secret* Want some help invading Tibet? *secret*

Start great project: New India Program. Effects will be:
Reach next age instantaneously
+1 Education
+2 air force (well, actually just a better airforce, but I can't get air tech specifically, can I?)
+2 culture.
The fundament of the program is to raise each and every individual to a higher level of consciousness about their nation. Then we shall improve individual participation in all areas, modernize our airforce and become a well-recognized world power without having to resort to the crude force of huge armies.
 
Yes, you can.
 
OOC: I've always wanted to play modernday Finland in a NES! But would it be possible to make my government like a constitutional monarchy or something, I mean, maybe in a story or so.. maybe by a rebellion? I would really like to add the Finnish political parties into my future stories :(

Anyway, I hope it's okay that I changed the leader name from "Paul" to "Pauli", it sounds more like a Finnish name.. nice surname for the leader, by the way, that really does sound a little bit Finnish ;)

Nation Background: After two months of anarchy in Russia in 1897 following the defeat in WWI, Finnish separatists decided to act. They managed to gain independence, under a king of local descent, and the new Russian Republic decided to let them go, not wanting to start a war so soon after the end of the last one.

***

STORY (and some national background):

Looking at Finland from the outside, everything seemed to be fine in 1901: the country had gotten it's independence from Russia. But when you got to see things as closely as Per Evind Svinhufvud did, you would notice that domestically Finland was far away from being united.

The last 5 years had been filled with changes for Per Evind Svinhufvud. Finland had had a position as Russia's home-ruled grand duchy until 1896. The Finnish parliament, which had been established only one year before to work in cooperation with the Russian Czar, was dissolved. Reasons for this were Russian fears of Finland not cooperating with their mother country during times of war; "russification" was the name for this project to set the Finns straight. The dissolving of the parliament pissed off especially the social-democrats, who had held 103 seats out of the 200-seated parliament. But the conservatives were angry too, wanting to get back Finland's autonomic position. Per Evind Svinhufvud was one of the first conservatives to become a separatist, and he was sent to a Siberian prison for one year.

Then the year 1897 came, and in just two months Finnish separatists removed Finland from Russia's control - taking eastern Karelia and the Kolan peninsula with them. Svinhufvud was freed from the Siberian prison, and he took a train back home. While he was sitting on that train, the social-democrats decided to seize the moment and capture the power of the new country that had been independent only for a couble of days. That was quite natural, since everything was indicating that they wouldn't get back their 103 parliamentary seats - i.e. full legislative power - which they believed was rightfully theirs. The attempt failed miserably.

When Svinhufvud got to Helsinki, he was greeted as a national hero; people cheered when he stepped down from the train. He had been imprisoned for year for his country, and now he became the leading conservative for that. He, as all other conservatives, was afraid of social-democrats and didn't support returning to democratic parliamentarism, since that would propably give the power back to the leftists. The conservatives got their will through and an Absolute Monarchy was established. The new king Pauli Vakkapuli immediately gave a high position to Svinhufvud as his trusted man and suddenly this simple small-city lawyer found himself at the peak of power; as a friend of the king.

Indeed, everything seemed to be fine for Svinhufvud in 1901 when he was sitting in his big office in Helsinki, planning ways to run the country together with the king who now greatly trusted him, but he did have worries. The social-democrat leaders had escaped from prison, and Väinö Tanner, their infamous leader, had been rumoured to be planning a coup to get Finland back to democratic ways. As if that wasn't bad enough, all the recent polls were indicating that a vast majority of Finns would actually vote for social-democrats if there had been a parliament in Finland. And as if that wasn't bad enough, many of the social-democrats were beginning to worship the newly-established German communist system, since parliamentarism hadn't brought them the power which they would deserve.

Would the social-democrats get their will through, with the help of their legendary leader Väinö Tanner who was now hiding? Or would the absolute monarchy stand the test of time? Only time would tell..
