That was what I wanted to propose but since you stated that communication from Oz will no longer be received...
Well let the negotiations resume.

Technically the whole point behind locking is to make it so I don't configure half an update and then players go, "Woah woah I change them!" Embargoes, UN votes, etc. aren't too infuriating since I do that quickly, so embargos don't really apply.
For reference: I still apply RP bonuses AFTER the lock. Things you will collect on next turn.
(So this lengthy discussion has been boosting the participants' economies; who said war can't stimulate the economy?

"With a conflict between Oz, Korea, and India going on" Hanna said with a worried tone "It won't be long before the entire world goes up in flames as people fight against each other".
"Perhaps, now is the time to start signing NAPs to other nations" Tifa suggested.
Hanna simply nodded and started drafting NAP proposals to Scotireland and the Papal States.
Diplomacy:
Offer NAP to Scotireland
Offer NAP to the Papal States

Just popping in to say that during the next two days, and after spring break (which begins on Thursday), I am not allowed on the computer until I get my grades up (but don't worry guys, its only in two subjects). So after the 16th, NPC me.

The 501st Legion would like to host the 2072 Winter Olympics
McDonald looked up from his reports on the UN as his computer beeped loudly. A message. He quickly scanned the proposal from Coruscant. Good news, finally. He took a long hard look, and then pulled up his chart. Yes, Coruscant was Comintern. He frowned slightly. Did Coruscant not trust the WP-CI NAP either? He began typing out a cautious response, questioning the exact terms of the agreement before he could send it on.
The next day, a response arrived. McDonald grinned triumphatly as he absorbed the news. Perhaps things could still be salvaged from the scrapheap they were piling towards. He reached for the phone. "This is McDonald, I have an urgent Communicaion for the PM, it's from Coruscant." He waited for a minute, before Irish' voice sounding in his ear. "Yes Sir, it's a communication from Coruscant. They're offering us a seperate Non-Agression Treaty. I'm having the exact details sent to you now," he clicked the 'send' button "but I strongly recommend taking it. We might be able to avoid an Atlantic war if things go south."
McDonald was ecstatic when Irish informed him later that his recommendation was being accepted. Scotireland would agree to the pact, and they hoped that when the Merger was complete the new government could see the sense of keeping it in place. McDonald sent a single, short response to the Coruscant Government: 'We Accept.'

Siberia would like to state that it shall be neutral (but still part of the WP) in any world, or Asian affairs. We would also like to let you guys know that we would be willing to host governments in exile as well as hosting peace talks.

Signups for those olympics not open yet so those don't count.
===Ops==
The Baltics, Paraguay and Fuzhou are all reporting HUGE swaths of agents having attacked their networks and banking systems, wiping out practically all agents present. Fuzhou reports that its ESP level has skyrocketed several levels due to the sheer scale of the repulsed attack.
Are these attacks connected, or independent? The international community will have to deliberate. What's clear is that the Rublezone is bound to suffer some destabilisation thanks to the impending economic crash in Paraguay.
==Coups==
New Zealand had a pro-Oz coup.
Pro-Crusader coup in Quebec; pro-independence coup unseats Crusader government right afterward.
Mongolia had a pro-independence coup.
Pro-Crusader coup in Astrakhan.
Pro-Crusader coup in Persia.
Pro-Papal coup in Naples.
Pro-Italian coup in Vietnam.
Pro-501st coup in Neo-Inca.
Pro-Korean coup in Vladivostok
Pro-Angola coup in Boers.

UPDATE XI
The Year is 2170.
World total population - 37425 * 10,000 = 374.25 million
Global soldier population - 2985 * 10,000 = 29.85 million (8%)
Economy - 225,762 (GDP) + 58,410 (Global trade)
Stats: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AutAtpCOU6gNdFUwYUZqSlVWLXpCSXk0eFBMc1YwN1E&output=html
In a shocking move, India has been destroyed by Korea and Oz launching a surprise invasion. Their basis is that India did not amass enough of a military to be viable, and thus was a liability to the Comintern. Critics allege it is simply an attempt by Oz and Korea's radical Toshiro government to try and recover from the Hawai'ian nuclear assault of years past. But they will reap what they have sown - the many ISS agents who fled the country have pledged allegiance to the Government in Exile.
Meanwhile, Vietnam has switched sides, having become a capitalist dictatorship, a military coup having overthrown the Communist Party. The junta has pledged loyalty to Italy, which has eagerly accepted its new trade partner. Asia is rapidly becoming a source of Fifth Columns - the Demon Realm and Vietnam to name a few. Meanwhile, the Comintern's dominance of China has dissolved, with Mongolia, Wuhan, Beijing and Shanghai all having switched to non-Comintern regimes. China is now a power game between Xinjiang, the Demon Realm, and the Papal States. All the while, the Chinese Resistance Front seeks to regain control of the region; the Free China movement also continues to harass Papist forces despite being attacked by both Shanghai and Wuhan.
Meanwhile, the Demon Realm has been formally classed as a dictatorship by Freedom House; Lord Iblis has stripped away any semblance of democracy and concentrated his power. The country is very secretive, however, and has mostly kept to itself - while it has assisted neutral nations with their research, it has sought to remain a pivot in a world that is torn between the Comintern and the Warsaw Pact.
Debates raged in the UN with attempts to condemn the Comintern for its horrific betrayal; the acidic remarks were such that they threatened to shred the Non-Aggression Pact Poland has sponsored in the hopes of avoiding a devastating war between the blocs. While the measure failed, the reprisal is still felt: Somalia, Chile, and Kongo have closed their markets to Angola, Korea and Oz.
Massive thefts have occurred that bring back chilling memories of the mysterious thefts well over a decade ago. Who was behind it, if the culprit is one and not many?
Recessions and bankruptcies have flooded the Comintern, crippling it even further, while mighty Scotireland and its close ally the Lowlands have found themselves hit by a recession as well, their bubble having burst at last.

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.
Scotireland - Lowlands
Quebec - Astrakhan
Hedjaz
Tibet - Chile, Egypt, Quebec, Bolivia
Boom - 5% chance of hitting any nations and increasing its Industry by 10%. It will in turn have a 20% chance of hitting any other nation with that currency - 25% if the nation affected is the sponsor of the currency.
NCSA - Nordeste, Cuba,
Papua - Xinjiang, Chile, Paraguay, Egypt, Boers, Dubai, Papua, Rome, Pakistan
Resource discovery - Hits two nations, grants +.5 Industry.
Xinjiang, Ecuador
Baby Boom - 5% extra pop OR 1 new population for each province controlled; two nations
Coruscant, Kazakhstan
Bankruptcies
States that default (they run a deficit and cannot cover it) go bankrupt, and lose 10% of their Industry. This has a 20% chance of spreading to all similar currency users. Fortunately all debts are forgiven and forgotten that go beyond the actual income a state brings in.
Paraguay has defaulted! The economic disaster has spread to Korea, Bolivia, and New Zealand.
Brain Drain
Angola, Italy, Oz - Top
Somalia, Chile, 501st - Bottom

Uprising
Korean India : 37 occupied zones
4 vs. 2 - rebel victory. Baluchistan province freed!
7 vs. 4 - Korean victory
4 vs. 4 - Korean victory
19 vs. 14 - Korean victory
3 vs. 2 - Korean victory
All rebel troops except for one, adding 360,000 Indian soldiers to the casualties. However, Korea loses 12 (that is, half their total forces) armies. 480,000 have perished in just the first stage of the uprising. 140,000 Civilians died in the intensive fighting.
Australian India : 23 occupied zones
4 vs. 8 - Oz victory
1 vs. 1 - Rebel victory
5 vs. 18 - Oz victory
13 vs. 18 - Oz victory
Oz kills all 230,000 rebel soldiers, but loses 11 divisions. In total, 340,000 soldiers perish between the two sides for the Spice Islands. 50,000 lives are lost due to the chaos.
TF's Tips:
-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.
-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.
-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?

A Rising Star - Java
A state that rose triumphant from a bloody civil war that Hawai'i and its enemies both traded blows to try and tilt one way or another, Java has achieved a status of being just as wealthy as Finland, a "major power." It has now emerged as another member of the Comintern, ready to defend its goals and fight for its aims in the Asia-Pacific region.
The World Bank
Funded by loans, gifts and dues, the World Bank has established itself to try and stabilise the global climate. All nations can henceforth borrow against their future income, to the value of 100% of their current income. While lucrative, bear in mind the consequences of bankruptcy will be harsh.
MADness
It is now possible to sell WMD technologies - Chemical, PB and Nuclear - without losing your own technology. It is also possible to gift them, but if WMD knowledge becomes TOO widespread, it is very probably a rogue minor state could easily get its hands on the technology as well...
Espionage Alterations
To speed up updates, it is only possible to do FIVE missions per turn from now on. Updates are often slowed because of the sheer number of missions espionage powers do.

Java = major power now.
Ergo, Java qualified for the Secretary seat.
Of course, this will make embargoing the Comintern via the UN even more fun.
They were all totally random!
Most likely. Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully.
Either way Lord Iblis is sitting in his fortress swilling his wine.
