==Petrograd==

"Today, comrades, is the day for victory! Today is the day, Mother Russia no longer is a geographical expression! Today, Russians will be united under one banner once more!"

-President Ivan Fukurukov giving a speech in Arkhangel'sk.

Of course, first, Moscow's 10 armies move against the rebels there.

The rebels crush Moscow, and occupy 4/5 of the country. The pro-Petrograd rebels send a signal...


Link to video.

Petrograd steamrolls the area, and also takes the rebel forces as its own. It annexes Moscow.

(10 * 3.24) + (31 * 3) / 41 = 3.06.

Nizhniy is asked to join Petrograd... but refuses, as does Rostov. Allied with the Petrograd rebels, Russia is consumed by civil war.

Spoiler :

Nizhniy has 28 armies to defend against Petrograd's standing 35. That is, 2 per province. Petrograd has +6 to all rolls.

7 will fall without encountering a fort.

With that complete, a push begins into the impoverised Rostovite realm.

Rostov has 14 armies to protect 4 provinces.

Astrakhan is told to surrender or face the wrath of the Petrograd Army. 25% chance!

5. Astrakhan surrenders.

(5 * 3.65) + (60 * 3.06) / 65 = 3.11

Petrograd now has 10 armies free, inherited from Astrakhan.

Freedom Fighters continue to defy the regime in Kazakhstan. They are assaulted with a bombing barrage. None of the 5 hit. Chemical weapons it is then.

3 hits! The 10 armies move against the rebels.

Petrograd finishes off its rebels. It now stands at a proud 70 provinces and 50 armies.

The capital is moved to Moscow, and Petrograd declares itself Novaya Russia...

==Britain and France==

France has re-established itself. Possessing 26 armies, France is a force to be reckoned with.

...or would be, if it wasn't at M0.

26 armies order a full attack on the British. Britain being at M8...

The British shed not a single army, and swiftly recapture the province.

All over the globe, the FRA's bases are left defenseless. The bases in Poland and Buenos Aires are easy prey, as such, for the locals.

==Partitionania==

Poland desires the purging of the Philanthropy forces in its territory.

It is, naturally, a roflstomp.

==501st Legion==

With the world's eyes focused on the revolution in Russia, the 501st moves in to take Mexico.

Mexico has but 18 armies, with the 501st having +7 to all rolls.

10 501st fleets open fire on Mexico.

3 hits!

Up next, ALL 62 501st air wings begin aerial bombardment.

9 Mexican armies are destroyed. No planes are shot down.

6 Mexican armies remain.

The full brunt of the 501st army comes down on the Mexicans, and all are successful.

(5 * 3.58) + (75 * 3.16) / 80 = 3.19.

The 501sts actions prompt the Prelate Order to guarantee Central America so as to guarantee the neutrality of the Canal.

Angolan-Boer Union

Earlier this year, Boer leaders met with the Angolan Prime Minister, discussing the treaty of Johannesburg. The leaders of both nations, two of the poorest in the world due to isolation and biobombing, decided to form into the Angolan-Boer Republic to combine their economies and peoples. Angola and the Boer Republic, always enjoying good relations, strengthened by trade, decided that a national bond would only strengthen them. Setting the capital in the city of Luanda, capital of the former Angolan Commonwealth, Angola-Boer stands to become a major economic power in the world...

Pre-emptive FAQ: No, maxing out your research meter to 100 for a particular WMD research does not give it to you automatically. It merely guarantees you'll get it next turn.

Successful Programs

Poland has perfected a T5 PB

Jerusalem has perfected a T4 PB

Denmark, USSR - T4 PB

REDACTED has perfected a T5 PB

Numerous T3s, T4s and T5s unlocked.

5 states have advanced in CWs.

Province Busters

Tiny/T1 PBs cost 10 gold. Anybody with Military 2 can purchase.

Inquisition

Spoiler :

They seek to purge the world's regimes of corruption.

14 agents start.

5 steal from the NLR. 1 successful. +1 Infamy

5 incite revolts in Ahasira. All fail; 1 killed.

4 incite revolts in the 501st. All fail.

French Revolutionary Army

The FRA is non-existent now but is recovering.



VRF

Spoiler :

VRF's 28 agents steal from Brazil!

40 gold stolen; 2 agents killed. +4 Infamy

Chaos, Inc

Spoiler :

20 agents are assigned to blow up weapons in Abyssinia. It fails, +1 Infamy.

21-30 steal from Abyssinia.

31-35 steal from Michoacan.

36-47 steal from Petrograd.

4 agents killed; 20 stolen from Abyssinia. 30 stolen from Petrograd. +7 Infamy.

Philanthropy

Spoiler :

28 agents.

Philanthropy thinks the organisation needs a different approach. It realises it is too small and needs more agents, more bases, more power and influence around the world. Approprating weapons RnD funds for more noble purposes, therefore, is a sound strategy, proposed by the new Chairman Kane.

Denmark - 8 agents. 10 stolen; 1 killed.
Nigeria - 6 agents. N/A
Poland - 7 agents. 20 stolen.
USSR - 7 agents. 10 stolen.

Abyssinia - Chandigarh. BEEP. Chaos base found! Inquisition base found!

===Revolts===

Spoiler :

In light of globe-consuming anarchy, everyone has a 20% chance of a revolt.

How much of your realm will break away is your instability * 5, so instability 20 = every province attempts to break away. By contrast, instability 1(which human players are generally at) will only yield a mere 5% attempting.

Attempted incitations in:

-Vienna

-Monaco - Russia discovered to be behind it! 3 revolts. Monaco being a city state, it has 10 armies to the rebel 3. If it rolls 1-3, the city will fall and the government will change. 7. The rebellion is crushed.

-San Marino

-Bucharest

-Minsk

-Lisbon

-Dubai

-Singapore - Japan discovered

-Guyana - Successful. 3.

-Buenos Aires - Successful. Brazil. 5 Rebels. 19 armies to the rebel 5. 10. Rebels crushed.

-Nordeste

Ordinary revolts:

2-20

Norris - 2
USSR - 3
501st - 1
Ahasira - 3

21-40

Kazakhstan - 1
Gangia - 1
Guyana - 2
Chiapas - 1

Last 6

Medellin - 1
Dar Es Salaam - 50/50 chance of government change. 7. Government overthrown, non-rebel army executed and/or dispersed.

===Notes===

Terrorist groups can now fight eachother. They can search countries, but this consumes 5 agents. As such, terrorrists are the best anti-terror weapons, as they can search multiple states in a single turn. Whether terrorists reveal the information or not is up to them. Keep in mind terrorists can also lie.

[Tani Coyote]

The Partitionanian Prime Minister is enjoying a cup of coffee when he hears yelling outside. He looked at, and to his horror, saw what seemed to be a horde of tanks, men, and planes, all head to Capitol. He picked up the phone, calling the only person he knew could stop this, "Grand General Ivan, but are your men doing! They are marching outside, and I...I... I fear for my life!"

"Sorry, but something has to be done."

A loud burst was heard, and it seemed like seconds armed men where surronding him, lead by Ivan. He was shot in the stomach, and laid on the side of the room, unable to do anything. The Grand General set down, and flicked a switch. The TV on his desk flicked to a picture of him, and he repeated, "People of Partitionania, it is time to celebrate. We finally get our Revenge against the invaders. Let it be known Russia and Germany shall cease to exist on the world stage!"

He then chuckled and said, "Oh, it is just a red button." And by him pressing it he just released the entire arsneal of PL-1795 Missiles against the nations of Germany and Russia.
