Indian Expansion:
In the former states of Gujurat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajastan and Sindh, the AI directorate released neurotransmitters through all the water sources. By the time anyone knew what was going on, they were already hooked up to the system. While most of the population were malcontents, their desire to be free did not outweigh the rest of the nation's desire to integrate them, therefore their wishes were overruled and memories slightly readjusted ot believe things had always been this way.

In light of the actions of Unamerican Cults preying on the good defenseless citizens of Utah, The Second Directive Hereby accepts the responsibility of their protection, fully incorporating them into the scope, the purview of the Second Directive.

The Investigation into these unamerican ritual cults has resulted in the tracking of practitioners, and sympathizers, throughout the Old American West coast. Therefore, In pursuit of these heathens, anathema to Good Christian Americans, and to Freedom and Justice and Right Thinking Americans, the Second Directive is establishing Secret Service Authority over the States of California, Sonora, and Chihuahua.

Citizens of areas at risk by this cult are directed to report all suspicious activity to their regional authority, so that proper action may be taken.

God Bless America.

The Second Directive will see us all to the American Dream.

The Council voted on my behalf and I'm supposed to make a speech in one week, just when I was getting used to my office in Kyoto. I don't mind the promotion though; it's nice to be back on the field again (figuratively). They want me to command a team in order to establish a base in South Korea and for that the Council gave me 3 mobile battalions and two fully equipped garrisons. I don't know what they're expecting, it's not like we're expecting another Kiryu siege.

Toyama Marine assured me we'll have working logistics in three months. Tomorrow I'll have a meeting with Kusonoki Kinkiyo and ask him to be our leading scientist (someone has to make sure we have contact with Mother Brain as soon as we touch Korean soil).

Our first target is the Incheon Airport and from there, if everything goes as planned, we'll have a fully operational base in Seoul by the end of the year.

October, 9, 2033
As we suspected the areas north of Seoul are dangerous. The raiders there are disorganized and violent - well armed with old weaponry (enough to cause damage). All attempts to pacific annexation failed and last month we lost two supply caravans and one trade post in the Incheon International Airport Expressway. I detached another garrison to the expressway with more firepower and sent two intrusions missions up there to push them back.

In other news we establishing Seoul as our first city outside Mainland. Tomorrow I'm traveling to Fukuoka to a meeting with Mainland's Civilian Administrator to discuss new plans to Seoul, more soldiers to protect the territory and find who is going to be our C.A.

July 9, 2040
We finally got our comms with Mother Brain working again. The new core Fujitsu assembled was promised to not fry every 2 years. Plus it occupy less space than the old one.

Found today that our family is going to get a new member. Today just got better.

November, 27, 2040
Today's meeting with Saito Yukisada and other Korean representatives was positive. We've finalized the plans to expand STJ's influence in South Korea. Most of the cities agreed in joining us for protection and any "resistance" will be dealt the only way our task force knows how (it has been years since the last time I've heard the word raider was used).

Saito asked me to replace him as C.A. Should I accept?

They want me to find someone to command the Fukuoka Task Force (stress is bad for the baby and I needed to take a break of all the paperwork). More meeting yay! :(

What does it mean to be Jeannesque?

In la Saint-République Orléanaise, the Orléanaise and their wards d'Française strive in all ways to be Jeannesque, meaning to live their lives in the way sanctioned and embodied by the Maid of Orléans, Jeanne d'Arc. She who was chosen by God to lead her people against the wicked, she who was pure, béloved and déified, in the Holy Republic of Orleans all citizens worship her and strive to be like her. All women know and are known to have within them this potential in the fullest; all men know and are known to be Charlesque, with the ability to fulfill noble duties and accept the holiness of Jeanne.

To be Jeannesque is to be noble: to stare at danger, death, and dismay, and fear nothing, for they know no material danger can harm their immortal soul, no dismay can displace the love of god, and no death can put them beyond the reach of martyrdom.

To be Jeannesque is to be pious: to know the love of Christ and the love of God, to worship Him, and to be humble before his sacrifice, and strive to be Christlike as well.

eb834447a96c9d7df71511cefbd61c6b--joana-d-arc-fantasy-drawings.jpg


To be Jeannesque is to be strong: to wield the sword and the shield, to be an iron curse upon the wicked and a steadfast guardian of the weak. To hoist a banner and to feel the power of Christ within, for to bring His awesome and Holy might to bear against the forces of Lucifer.

Always to be Jeannesque is to choose goodness and righteousness, bravery and diligence, humility and charity, love and purity. To suffer not the ungood, the unrighteous, the cowardly, the slothful, the vainglorious, the selfish, the hateful, and the corrupt.

The Holy Republic of Orléans is the sixth French Republic, led by the pioneering movement of the Orléanists, who declared the great plague a punishment of God's. They seek now to make France moral and righteous once more, and have instituted in their laws and institutions the restorational values of Christianity and the political-religious school of thought known as Orléanisme. The women of Orléanisme, as vanguards of purity, lead the Holy Republic in all things, and from the elite ranks of their political clergy the guardians of Orléanisme are selected to lead the Holy Republic, to strengthen its borders, to maintain order, and to keep purity.

The Holy Republic, it has been noted, is motivated in pursuing a theocratic republican state with restored and novel religious values inspired, rather peculiarly, by what it deems one of few other pure states in recent history: the Islamic Republic of Iran.
 
Just so everyone knows: After it being requested I have added in some rudimentary rules/guidelines for Espionage and Secret Projects (see OP).
 
Florentius Natalis, known before his consulship as Fiorenzo Tornicasa, has began leading the armies of Rome into the north, successfully securing territories from the anarchic hordes roaming in Lombardia. The senate requested Florentius that, by next season, he leads the navy to secure the isles of Sardina, Corsica and Malta, and possibily Carthage.

Caelestis Silvanus (Celeste Silvano), second consul, has began discussing with the tribune of the plebs Antonello Colombera, for plans on expanding the iron industry, which will then be used to expand the Roman navy.

Political Culture of Canada

Although its citizenry was decimated, the federal, Westminster parliamentary government of Canada survived the Christmas Plague. The Charter, the Constitution, the provinces, the regally appointed Lieutenant Governors - Canada was, on-paper, the same country it had been since confederation. It was in-practice held together primarily by the emergency structures setup by the Ministry of Health.

When the global pandemic was finally overcome, the people of Canada were transformed - the proportion of Canadians out east were much smaller than those in British Columbia and the prairies relative to the pre-plague numbers. In the decades prior to the Christmas Plague the western provinces had developed a strong ecopolitics - from Alberta shifting away from the volatile oil industry, to Vancouver's pioneering programs at ecologically sustainable urban living, to the wave of legal recognitions of indigenous guardianship over ecological areas as part of dedicated reconciliation with First Nations (which mostly occurred in BC because the province contained the bulk of unceded land). BC was also host to a small but important number of ecovillages that formed out of a longstanding local semi-religious environmentalist tradition spurred on by the advance of climate change; these villages were self-sufficient, giving them the benefits of self-imposed quarantine throughout the pandemic. When the disease was largely gone, the Canada that remained was, on average, living in the western provinces and, on average, far more environmentalist. When the first post-crisis elections were held to renegotiate the terms of confederation in this new world, a wide spectrum of greens won out over traditional parties and amended the Canadian constitution to incorporate the principle of bioregionalism - abolishing the provinces as they used to be.

Today the new bioregionalist parliamentary system has a number of unique quirks, including special legislative powers being held by scientific committees of ecological experts at the regional level, indigenous stakeholder rights over developments in numerous ecologically sensitive areas, and a winter-time political capital in Vancouver as a compromise with the eastern provinces (Ottawa remains the summer-time capital). The dominant political parties include the Green Party of Canada (left-leaning, believe in environmental justice, progressive politics), Vision Canada (the current government in power that believes in ecomodernism - the idea that proper design and innovative technology can solve anthropogenic environmental threats), and the Ecological Democratic Party of Canada (a coalition of religious environmentalists and geolibertarians who believe in ecocapitalism).

Moreover Canadian society at-large has other interesting features. All urban centres have enacted a ban on personal automobiles; the criminal code punishes crimes against animals (in some cases) with comparable severity as crimes against humans; ecotaxes pervade all industries and are an important point of political debate; the country has high rates of veganism; and numerous natural objects and environmental areas have legal personhood (such as lakes, rivers, valleys, etc.).
