Well, there is also pseudoEgalitist Russia and pseudoEgalitist Canada... none of which are your doing, ofcourse. And neither is Egalitist Britain.
meh I was merely an organiser...then the people in CHARGE of the country deceided to take it down that path and I was happy to co-operate/Let them, it only furthered my goals for world wide revolution
Meh, I grew up the cells in Russia and England so i affected them but no I'm not actually "in Charge" of them

Excelent work, das. 
"Ooh, Uranium." said Pikt, looking through a jeweller's glass, "Pity we never got to use it."
"Do you seriously think that Canada would nuke the world? No."
"Whatever Hakk. Could happen. This is a different Canada."
"Maybe, maybe. So, think we did well?"
"Well enough. I feel sorry for the guys who got stuck in that bunker in Ankara a few decades ago..."
"They're still there? Oh carp, they are."
"Stop reading my mind, you creepy psychic."
"I'm not creepy-"
"Enough!"
Both penguins turned to see Penguin Admiral Trik, resplendent in an authentic Turkish military outfit (which, being several feet taller than him, trailed rather less impressively behind him).
"I understand that this multiverse is finished. I'm here for a full report on your successes as the Ottoman Turks."
The two penguins simultaneously looked at each other and gulped. Pikt attempted to give a reassuring grin, but it came out as a pained admittance of guilt.
Trik cradled his head.
"Don't tell me that you lost again..."
Both penguins were silent.
"Idiot! I mean do tell me. When one says 'don't tell me', it means that they just don't want to hear it."
"What if that person will be horribly traumatized if they hear? What if they were serious in saying that?" asked Pikt.
Trik pulled a gun from his back and blasted the penguin with a black hole. Pikt made an odd squealing sound as he was compacted into a space smaller than a pintip and sucked into another dimension.
"Hakk. Mission status."
"Ahh..." started the penguin slowly, looking nervously at the point where his compatriot had stood a few minutes earlier, "Well, we lost the Ottomans near the end of the first IT."
Suddenly, a hooded figure burst into the room.
"My god! It's Darth Sidious!"
Iggy took off his hood. Gasping for air (from the run, not from being strangled by a hood), he started talking.
"Hmm, you blew up Pikt then?"
"Of course I didn't blow him up."
"Oh, that's a relief. Anyway, I want you to know who is fully responsible for the Ottoman mess..."
"And that is who?"
Iggy started to gesture to himself, then spun around.
"HIM!!!" he shouted, pointing at a passing Turkish Sultan. "Suleiman III! He's responsible!"
Suleiman barely had the time to ask why he was stuck at the same age he had been several decades ago, why he was still alive, what his was doing in this bunker, and why a caucasian youth was talking to some heavily armed, monochromatic flightless birds; for he was hit with a black hole. Though he made a darn good effort.
"Did you hear what he was trying to say?"
"Nah. It's all Greek to me."
"Turkish, actually."
Trik scowled and waved his gun threateningly at Iggy.
"Anyway, message from das. This NES is over."
"Better yet, ITNES seems to be reopening!" cut in Hakk.
"How do you know about ITNES? It's before your time."
"Um...er, uh, hey! Look at that!"
Into the icy bunker fell a smoking FTL helicopter. Before its ruins could even stop spinning, Gris leapt out.
"Sir! The command center is in danger. We've got most PB forces retreating, but a pocket is caught here."
"Well, we were about to leave anyway."
"Um, I didn't ask you to leave."
"Of course you didn't. Hakk! Get my bags."
Activity soon was buzzing through the base.
Gris rolled his eyes as Trik started to push Iggy and several other penguins into his ship.
"Chicken! Why are you leaving now? We're just starting to strengthen!"
Things continued as they were.
"Oh whatever. I'll keep a skeleton force here..."
"ITNES is apparently reopening." shouted Iggy.
Gris paused. Twitched a little.
"I'm in. You!" he shouted, pointing to a passing penguin.
"Um, yes?"
"You're in charge here."
"I'm honoured by your trust in me and-"
"Very good. Seeya!"
Gris sprinted off and leapt into the rising ship, in a style similar to Qui-Gonn.
The new commander stayed frozen in place, contemplating his position and feeling oddly like Darth Maul.
*****
In space, Trik's ship landed in the colossal ship 'Icetitan'. Iggy vaguely wondered if it was causing a sensation for earthside astronomers, but didn't probe to deeply into it.
As the ship began to accelerate, Iggy pondered the future.
Parhae would return.

Regeneration In Process
Awards for NES2 VI IT II:
Player Awards:
Winner: Symphony D. - having built up the world's most formidable fighting force, his GEAR defeated all of its natural enemies and achieved the goal of East Asian predominance (and control over the better part of East Asia as part of it).
Best Player: Insane_Panda - very good orders (when he did send them ), very persistant too, good stories.
Most Persistant Player: Thlayli - actually, most players showed amazing persistance, so I'll give this reward to the one who launched revolt after revolt in the same area, with the same ideology and with the leaders from the same bloodline, although the first two rebellions were in the previous IT.
Least Persistant Player: SwissEmpire - not really through any fault of his own, I suppose, but he switched his nations (or, more often, rebel movements) the most.
Most Innovative Player: Symphony D. - both lots of neat technologies, including the death ray cars, and some rather original campaigns, most notably the Arctic Raid.
Best Unsung Leader: Lord_Iggy - while the rest of the world fought its wars, Iggy led Canada to independence and prosperity; its probably the nicest country to live in in this world today, both because others are wrecked by wars and terrorism and because of Canada's social programs.
Most Agressive Player: Symphony D. - he attacked nation after nation with usually no warning at all; hell, some here still don't even know that he attacked them (okay, this is mostly about intelligence operations, but not only)!
Least Agressive Player: shortguy - sat nicely and quietly in Paraguay for several turns, not even attacking domestic dissidents, much less neighbours (well, attacking neighbours would've been a bit suicidal in his situation...). Then left, having not fought a single border clash.
Best Orders: Insane_Panda - generally good orders, but I especially liked the army/navy positions he gave; they greatly helped and generally eased my workload, though he didn't really have to copy them to each of his multiple order PMs.
Best New Player: LittleBoots - very well played with the ultranationalist Finland, not to mention actually quite succesful.
Best Storywriter: Insane_Panda - though maybe its just because I like the historical essay style.
Luckiest Player: Symphony D. - all his enemies, no matter how wary they were earlier, tended to redeploy the vast majority of their forces elsewhere or otherwise let their guard down just before he attacked.
Most Cunning Player: pretty much everyone had had their moments of cunning, and its quite hard to rate them... so instead of bothering to do that, I'll just give the award to Cleric, he was quite devious. Seriously, though, he was. He just was pathalogically unlucky as well.
Evilest Player: Symphony D. - betrayals, sneak attacks, assassinations and poison gas!
Most Inquisitive Player: Symphony D. - and that says it all, if we recall whom he had to compete with.
Most Rebellious Player: SwissEmpire - rebellions, rebellions, rebellions all over the world.
Most Suicidal Player: LuckyMoose - just see the entire NES.
Nation Awards:
Greatest Power: Greater East Asian Republic - although it has considerable competition.
Greatest North American Power: Estados Unidos Americanos (PUO is catching up, but is a) still weaker and b) a puppet ).
Greatest South American Power: Estados Unidos Americanos.
Greatest European Power: Holy Roman Empire.
Greatest African Power: Holy Roman Empire.
Greatest Asian Power: Greater East Asian Republic.
Biggest Rise: Krakow Union - from a fairly weak secondary power Poland, to the second strongest, second richest nation in Europe.
Most Influential Nation: Greater East Asian Republic, with advisors, diplomats, businessmen, spies and sold weapon designs all over the world.
Most Surprising: Segu - I didn't expect it to neither win so much early on, nor to give up so easily.
Evilest Empire: Holy Roman Empire of the French Nation, with the indiscrimate levelling of entire cities, gendarmes prowling the streets and bloody reprisals in rebel areas.
Longest Name: Holy Roman Empire of the French Nation.
Most Screwed-up Nation: People's Republic of Russia.
Strongest Army: Greater East Asian Republican Army.
Strongest Navy: Greater East Asian Republican Navy.
Strongest Air Force: Armada Aurea Americana.
Largest Nation: either of the three superpowers; I think the EUA, if we count Brazil as part of it.
Smallest Nation: Bhutan.
Strongest Economy: Estados Unidos Americanos.
Most Technologically Advanced: Greater East Asian Republic.
Most Patriotic: Kingdom of Greater Finland (the Greater East Asian Republic is very, very close, but hurt by disparity).
Most Original Nation: South Sea Company.
Favorite Moment: 1786, with the various exciting military operations all over the (old) world.

Aye, you're softening up. If this goes on like this, we'll have to find a replacement genocidal maniac... LittleBoots?

To be honest I'm glad I didn't get more than I did. Well, I do wish I'd written more stories and snagged that one, at least, but I was rather spotty in writing. But Panda certainly deserves the ones he got; between the three, he is likely the "MVP" (Most Valuable Player) of the IT, so kudos to him. Well played game, everyone!
HRE: 33,000,000 - 36,00,000km² (36ECs)
EUA: 29,000,000 - 31,000,000km² (34ECs)
GEAR: 23,000,000 - 26,000,000km² (41ECs)
Africa's like really big. Between the three, that's a combined surface area of between 85,000,000 - 93,000,000km², out of the Earth's total land surface area of 148,939,100 km² (57.1 - 62.4%) and somewhere probably in excess of 75% of the population. Frankly, I don't think combat too likely; only potential flashpoints really are India or Eastern North America, and what with those Communists in Russia I'm sure we'd have had a jolly good time beating them down collectively.
I had also personally toyed with the idea of suggesting joining the EUA and GEAR together to create a Pacific Superstate, but never said anything. Given the lack of serious ideological differences I think the scenario was either stable (like a more peaceful 1984) or possibly combinative (single superpower; world empire) rather than combatative.
Oh, yes, and the mystery of the death rays goes unsolved.

Bravo. Bravo. Now, can somebody elaborate to me what ITNES is? i missed it.
And doesn't anybody seem astounded that the, a nation erupted from rebellion, become one of the three great powers (oddly enough, it happened in real-life to). And Japan, the isloated island(s) in the East, soon become the most formidable fighting force in the World. It is astounding what can be accomplished with good leadership...
