A Kysu Bomber waited at a crude dirt airstrip carved into the coastline outside the camp of Wang Tong. A line of restrained men and women slowly marched into the belly of the aircraft, brown-camouflaged soldiers watching them. On every breast, and on the wings of the great bomber, laid an insignia. An Eagle, dark as midnight, blood dripping from its wings.
Kalani felt the cuffs dig into her skin. She was a short woman, and couldn't quite touch the floor from her position handcuffed to the bomb racks within the aircraft. The soldier who had roughly placed her there hadn't seemed to care when she screamed. Blood slowly oozed from beneath the cuffs as she felt the aircraft begin to accelerate off the ground. Around her, almost sixty men,women, and children, stuffed into the aircraft like human cattle cried & screamed.
The Kysu Bomber, joined in formation by at least seventy other aircraft, powered down its ramjets to conserve fuel on its long journey. Operating on the turbulence-prone turboprops alone, the massive formation made its way to what the Acting Dictator called "The heart of all evil".
Kalani felt herself drifting in and out of consciousness as the pain overwhelmed her. One minute, she was stepping off the boat into Korea with the man she had fallen in love with while he was on a business trip in Hawai'i, the next she was watching their little son playing with his new friends in Seoul, then hearing the news that what was once her country was firing nuclear missiles at her new nation, feeling helpless as she cowered in the city of Shikoku on her vacation, finally crying upon hearing of the utter devastation of Seoul, traveling to Wang Tong as an aid worker, and then the hard knocks of the soldiers some call Black Eagles at the door of her clinic. Their expressionless faces and refusal to answer any of her questions, then being roughly shackled and put into line with many others. Now, flying somewhere far away in a military aircraft...
The Black Eagle pilot carefully steered the mighty bomber as they approached the destination. She felt no remorse for what was about to happen. After all, Hawai'i had decreed the death of all Koreans, so it was not wrong to respond in turn. As the aircraft approached a carefully calculated point 10KM above the ruins of Honolulu, she nodded at the man sitting next to her.
The Black Eagle bombardier carefully pulled a lever, then nodded back. Slowly, the aircraft began to gain altitude and turn back towards the remaining airbases in Korea.
Kalani was jolted out of her reverie as the bomb bay doors opened and the bomb racks opened. She felt herself sliding off the rack as everyone in the bomb bay fell out towards what looked like the island of Oahu. She screamed at the top of her lungs even as the wind snatched her breath away.
The lucky ones hit the ground or one of the many ship hulks in the harbor, dying instantly as they splatted like insects on a windshield. But several fell in the irradiated, nightmarish water. Of those, almost all died. But one breathed still, with every bone broken and suffering from radiation poisoning...

UPDATE X
The Year is 2168.
Population - 32,948 * 10,000 = 329.48 million
Economy - 137,199(GDP) + 37,000(Global trade)
As the radioactivity over the Hawai'ian Empire finally reaches acceptable levels, conflict will surely ensue over these lands. Korea has ordered its navy to blockade the entire region to ensure that it can monopolise the new territories.
In Europe, the Greeks have grown fed up with the Neopolitan government, and have declared a Free Republic of Greece. While technically pro-Papal, they will side with anyone who will give them the funding necessary.
In Asia, Wuhan has ruptured into Wuhan and Free China, a movement that rejects both the fragmentation of China and the CRF.
As the CRF grows in power and the Order of Iblis and UDPRK both show signs of dangerous leadership, is the East destined to be the site of a second war?
Meanwhile, Siberia is the host of the 2168 Winter Olympics. Registration open for the 2170 Summer Olympics! Venezuela excluded as it hosted the 2166 games.

For 2168-2169, the Secretary is Oz.

Events:
Recessions - These have a 5% chance of hitting any nation and wiping out 5% of the Industry. They will in turn have a 10% chance of hitting any other nation with that currency - 20% if the nation affected is the sponsor of the currency.
Vietnam - Perth
Pakistan - Angola, Chile
New Zealand
Hungary - Finland
Boom - 5% chance of hitting any nations and increasing its Industry by 5%. It will in turn have a 10% chance of hitting any other nation with that currency - 20% if the nation affected is the sponsor of the currency.
Venezuela
Brazil - Trinidad
Somalia
Quebec - Takrur
Resource discovery - Hits two nations, grants +.5 Industry.
Venezuela; Catalonia
Baby Boom - 5% extra pop OR 1 new population for each province controlled; two nations
Xinjiang, Neo-Inca
Brain Drain
Chile, Italy, Oz - Top
Coruscant, 501st, Scotireland - Bottom
1.43-.54 = .89 industry shifts downward. 30 population as well.
Foreign Investment
Happens to two countries below the average taxes - currently 30%, granting an extra .50 Industry.

TF's Tips:
-If you post in the thread after the update, I WILL count you as having given orders. Why? Because if you're capable of posting witty banter, you could at least give some vague orders in the event the lock occurred. Failing to do so is 100% on you.
-It is more useful to invest all in one tech than equally divide it, as you'll get the benefit from a completed tech immediately.
-Empires will start to rupture at turn's end if weak enough. For this to happen, you must have only 25% more income than a client. Former clients (usually) show interest in remaining friendly, but will relegate your relationship to a mere alliance. If a radical regime is in power, however, they will usually instead try to form alliances, or may even try to break off other clients to form one.
-Winning battles, repulsing enemy spies or successful Black Ops will upgrade your relevant technology. This represents experience.
-Supporting one side in a civil war is a way to win over very loyal clients.
-Defensive states get at least 20% against spy missions provided they have at least one spy. Make sure to pool agents with your clients or allies, and regularly rebuild your forces.
-Only one-third of a state's income can get stolen, so at least three nations must agree to steal from them.
-Spies always kill 10% of their value on the opposing side.
-If you steal tech and there's no tech to steal, your spies go for money instead. If you're that deep in their computer network, why not?
-Theft can never take more than what the person could have, but it will bankrupt them anyway if you manage to get more than what they took in.

SR Somalia (Income: 1843)
The new government is DEMOCRATIC. All in the nation can buy SRMN stock.
Lower Tax Rate to 15%
400 into Black Budget
1487 into Industry
"SR Somalia, in an attempt to foster better economic relations with foreign investors, is lowering our tax rate to 15%. We hope that this will allow foreign investors to invest in domestic service industries which will also allow domestic business to flourish after long suffering under the 30% tax rate. SR Multinational is also pushing forward with a massive international public relations campaign to attract skilled immigrants and capital.
Along with the MIPRC, we're spending heavily to invest in growing arms industries, consumer electronics, and etc.
Finally, SR Somalia will be the base of the SR Multinational Space Program which is a joint-venture among several space firms with the goal of lowering the costs of going to space for the average middle class citizen to the point where the experience could be considered mundane after a period of time.
That are our business goals for 2168."

Given the nature of their shattered nations, Korea & Oz declare that the Hawai'i'an Wasteland, minus the Falkland Islands, is their explicit and shared territory, and that claiming by other powers in this region will be treated as an Act of War.
Furthermore, given the needs of the Korean & Oz people of non-irradiated land, Korea postulates that powers which would interfere in the noble goal of providing food for their own populations wish the absolute annihilation of Korea & Oz.
