This is the last GYWO prior to the epilogues. The outcomes of these will also have effects on the epilogues(as the epilogues are based on your status at the end of this turn).

==Russian Civil War==

Though the supporters of the Communist cause remain unknown, it is widely suspected to be the Comintern.

64 Russians versus 83 Communists.

The Communists naturally must go first.

Spoiler :

Russia has two units protecting each tile.

Russia is left with 19 provinces while the Soviets stand at 36. 30 of the Soviet armies remain ready for action.

Russia decides to be pragmatic, and so invades Minsk. Minsk protects its provinces with 3 armies each; Russia has +5 on them.

Minsk falls. Russia orders all its units to stay on the defensive.

The CCCP summons up 10 more armies, now wielding 40 armies. All move against Russia.

Russia protecting each territory with one unit, it makes things more in the Red Army's favor.

The net result is much of Russia turning red.

==Angolan Civil War==

The Perestroikrats have staged an uprising in Angola, a move that could ruin the Comintern. Making matters worse, generous funding has made them a serious force - 66 armies strong!

Angola has 147 armies, fortunately, and plenty of money to raise more.

To shorten this, armies will attack in groups of 5. (Think of it as the rebels are stacking their units, so Angola must counterstack to keep them from gaining an edge)

The rebels are cut down to one army. The stacking stops.

Free Angola destroyed. Angola, whole once more, can continue to proudly lead Communists around the world.

==Danish Civil War==

Denmark is supposed to have a brief conflict, but many would like to see them knocked down from their pedestal. As such, the Danish rebels have gotten a ton of funding from abroad.

The rebels stand proudly at 94 armies.

Spoiler :

Denmark's 57 navies attack Free Denmark's 9.

Free Denmark crushed.

Denmark entered with 176 armies and now stands at 54. While its economy allows a quick buildup to ensue that surges it to 86 armies, it is still enormously weakened, having lost several years' worth of income to the rebels.

==Nigerian Civil War==

With the world being torn apart by one civil war after another, the focus now shifts to Nigeria.

The Axumites have resurged, desiring a free state based on Trotskyist(rather than Stalinist, as was the case with the previous Abyssinia) ideals. Nigeria won't have any of that!

Axum summons up 73 armies.

Nigeria is, however, only able to muster little over 100. Constant war have taken their toll. As such, it negotiates. In return for 5 of its territories back, Nigeria grants them independence.

The Axumites accept, emerging as a regional power once more!

Axum logically joins the Comintern, which now has swollen enormously, and is likely to soon include Soviet Russia.

==Polish Uprising==

Germany is fortunate - the world has spent so much money supporting one resistance or another that Germany's hasn't received much at all.

Spoiler :

Poland has 19 armies, and despite hopeless odds, fights the Germans, as it has always done throughout the history.

Germany's fleets attack the Polish.

==Battle of France==

The FRA has joined the Free French to resist Danish rule. This puts Free French forces at 11 total.

Denmark is going to kick some ass this time around - it extracts tribute from its vassals as part of their defensive arrangements.

Spoiler :

Only 3 of the Free French are on par with Denmark; the rest are M0 due to being from the FRA.

Kazakhstan pays an additional 10 gold to cover casualties. The good news is Kazakhstan doesn't have to fight the rebels itself.

==Second American Civil War==

The USSR rebels have 17 armies. The USA has 29.

The USA sends all its might against the USSR's unfortified provinces.

Either way, the war is far from over.

The USA calls on its allies, citing its lucrative trade agreements with them. Alaska and Cuba each send 20 gold, which is spent on chemical weapons - all 4 hit. 4 armies of the USA move against the 2 of the USSR.

==Japanese Civil War==

Japan's navies attack!

The Imperial Navy crushes the rebel fleet. That leaves 21 fleets ready; they shell the rebels. 5 rebel armies destroyed!

The Imperial air force swoops in now.

9,8,9,8,10,6

Flawless victory!

18 air wings bombard. 3 hits.

That reduces Siberia to 3 armies. They soon get a boost, however, from an unknown backer.

80 gold makes its way to the Siberians. They combine this with their 40 to produce 24 armies. They now have 27 to resist the Japanese.

Given that Ahasira's not using its forces, they also bombard - 2 successful.

Japan detonates its T2, killing 3 Siberian armies. Siberia is down to 22. Standard attack now, with 2 defenders in the fortresses and 2 in ordinary provinces.

==Moroccan Civil War==

In addition to the USA having a weak grip on its allies resulting in so little funding, its allies also have their own civil unrest to take care of.

The Moroccan rebels have amassed 18 armies due to unknown backers. Morocco, as such, faces a daunting task!

It summons 38 armies and goes against the horde! An assault on the rebel fort is first.

==Central American Civil War==

The Panama Canal is threatened, even moreso as Panama's 30 armies now face 30 armies on the enemy side, many of whom are trained in M4.

As such, Panama stays on the defensive as the M4 troops move in.

==UFNAN Victory==


Link to video.

With the collapse of the 501st Legion and the immense weakness of the USA, UFNAN had no threats to worry about. A program of peace through strength dominated UFNAN, and it paid great dividends: while other nations waged petty, bloody stalemates and spent all their great-grandchildren's funds on weapons of war, UFNAN built up the world's most solid healthcare, education and social services. Poverty plummeted; the vast reserves of land in the south allowed UFNAN's small population to all stake their claim at the expense of the 501st. The USA and 501st dared not tempt the giant.

A war between the Triple Alliance and the Comintern would eventually mark UNFAN's place as the world's foremost power. With much of their nations reduced to hyperthermic dust, UFNAN was unchallenged by any single power - Japanese and Ahasiran forces had attempted to colonise the Americas and suffered heavy losses in the ensuing skirmishes. This in turn had allowed UFNAN to seize most of North America unopposed and become a superpower.

UFNAN would use its industrial might not to subjugate, but unite the world. UFNAN would dispense enormous amounts of aid to third world nations, ruining much of the support base for GDI, NOD, and what was left of the Visionaries and Chaos, Inc. Whatever didn't die out from this lack of support, swiftly fell to drone assaults by UFNAN, the 501st, and USA. Brazil's people, with UFNAN's assistance, overthrew the terrorist-sponsoring, brutal regime, and Brasilao would soon fracture into a variety of self-determining nations, all of whom had UFNAN as a benefactor.

The 501st Legion eventually peacefully joined UFNAN after many decades of integration. One strength the 501st lended was its forays into spacefaring technology. Mending fences with the Japanese and Ahasirans, the world's wealthiest, most stable nations joined together and built a space program for the good of humanity.

By 2139, 170 years after the Moon Landing, UFNAN's wealth, Japan's technology, and Ahasira's manpower had landed several groups of robotic colonists on the the satellite. The media was ablaze with rumors of space elevators and fruits of such a colonial enterprise, but would the result be a resource-stripped Earth, or humanity extending its dominance to the stars?

Time would tell.
