PM Winstone was not looking forward to the Biannual Reports. The World had been continuing it's descent into insanity, and he knew reading about it would merely depress him. He Sighed, settled into his chair, and took a long drink from his cup of tea. The first reports were the security ones, shuffled to the top for reasons of urgency. They told a grim tale, the PUB having finally uncovered a number of illegal bases within it's territory. Not only that, but the allied Lowlands had seen the virtual destruction of their security agencies in a massive attack on their financial institutions. Security would have to be stepped up.
The foreign reports were similarly worrying. It appeared that the CRF had somehow managed to reconquer China, destroying the state of Xinjiang in the proccess. At the same time, the Boer state was directly attacking the UN itself, with a decidedly non-commital international response. To make matters even worse, a huge civil war had broken out in the 501st territory, which could wreck the balence of power in North America. On the positive side, the wars in both Quebec and the NCSA had ended, although only Quebec had decided to remain PUB-aligned. Much of Continental Europe, as well as more distant SE Asia, was now working inside the IRA alliance, which was feared to be developing a strong relationship with China.
The Economy seemed the only area where the news was consistently good, with the PUB controling an estimated 6.88% of the worlds income. Debt was also falling to more controlable levels, although planned spending over the next few years would neccessitate that borrowing rose again. Industrial development was continueing apace, and the PUBs status as a leading Industrial power remained, although several other nations were in close competition.
Overall the PUB itself remained in an excellent shape, but the world around it was increasingly intruding onto them, bringing less positive influences than might be liked.

Captian McTavish looked down at the sensor boards. Everything was clean, with not a ship in sight for miles around. It was so different to how the war had been. He felt a chill run down his spine. The war had been messy. He remembered how friend and foe had intermixed on the status readout, the hopelessness he had felt as the lights of allied forces blinked out and died. And he had done nothing.
Of Course, nothing was what he should have done. The captain of a missile submarine, his job was not to throw himself at the enemy, but to avoid them, remaining undetected until the fateful order came to launch the deadly cargo he carried. The order had, thankfully, not come. He hoped it would never come. Having seen the damage inflicted by Partitionania, using weapons of the same capacity, in a few cases the same very design, as what he carried, he realised just what he could do with the missiles his Submarine contained. And it terrified him.
"Captain!" McTavish recognised the voice of Ensign McShoutout "New orders from HQ!"
"Alright Ensign, now what do they want?" McTavish turned to face 'Roach', and took the decoded message out of his hands. He read through it slowly. "The Indian Ocean? They must be worrying about China again. Not that we can blame them I suppose..."
"No Sir, I'd be worried too in their position."
"Well, if they say India I guess we go to India. Tell the helm to set our course to these co-ordinates" McTavish handed back the orders and returned to the sensor screens, wondering if the Indian Ocean would be as quiet as the Atlantic.

The BUS054 'Wavedancer' seemed to jump at the impact. The terrible sensation of a missile slamming into the prow rocked the ship violently, sending crewmen stumbling, or even falling, as they either succeeded or failed to stay on their feet. The clamour of battle was loud, and everywhere flashes of light seemed to burst into existance like mocking fireworks.
The metal beneath Dwars' feet groaned in protest at the strains the small ship was put through, and she looked down in horror as it began to come apart. She struggled to stay upright, to move away as the gaping hole opened beneath her, but it was in vain, and she began to tumble slowly into the darkness, surrounded by the flashing lights of war...
Dwars Geheugan Sat bolt upright in her bed, shivering in horror as she remembered the nightmare that had haunted her. War was Hell. Dealing with the aftermath was also hard. Fortunately the damage to the 'Wavedancer' had been largely superficial, and the ship had been able to dock in freindly Quebec harbours to repair. The memories were less easily fixed...

Russia:
"Simply putting Poland out of its misery was - the state was crippled and broken beyond repair. The survivors, few they are, will live much better lives under a united Russia."
Da, we have. The Russian Empire saw an opportunity to demonstrate its rise to the ranks of the major powers, and took it, comrade. The Polish people, furthermore, were unable to secure their future as an independent nation-state. Their well-being being more important than their sovereignity(or not, given the state recruited them all into the military, where they were sure to die against mighty mother Russia's arms), we made the appropriate decision. We have also secured the Russian nation's ability to claim much of the wastelands. Partition to be discussed with our allies in the Papacy and Italy, who we assume will be acting through their allies Helvetia and Hungary.
Furthermore, Russia has never been a state to try and veil its intentions. We pursue our national interests, same as other nation, and do not hide this fact. All people Russian and Polish benefited from this forceful union. This will be shown as Russia avoids the burdens of empire taken on by its Italian allies and focuses on building up the quality of life its citizen enjoy. After all, we want to be fully developed by the time we begin to seize control of destroyed Eastern Europe.
Finland:
Seriously! Do we really want a power like this overseeing the global order?!
Russia:
Finland, you shut up before we invade you. Your lack of a WMD arsenal is legend.
Finland:
And we'd send you packing Winter War II style, "Comrade." Come at us, bro.
Russia:
Ah, you see, Stalin was an idiot and believed going to war after killing your higher ups was good idea. But, ahem, our military tradition is very rich and very proud. While you spend your money building hospitals, we spend ours making our soldiers invincible.
Finland:
...
Umm. Well. Powergamer?
Russia:
Is it powergaming if it's true?

Jenkins McDonald took another drink of coffee, and looked over at his old friend. Irish McScotsman was sprawled unconscious in his chair, surrounded by empty and discarded whiskey bottles. Jenkins sighed, worrying again about his friends failing health and worsening depression. Irish had been his friend and mentor for decades, since before the PUB even existed, and now Jenkins was forced to watch as he drank himself out of the game.
The fall of the first government in the elections had hit Irish hard. He had built the nation up himself, playing a leading role in unifying the Isles into what they were now. To see that work dashed against the rocks of the opposition had been a crushing blow, and Irish had soon retired completely from the political scene. Now absent from the scene, Irish had quickly become despondent, and a few months back had taken to heavy drinking.
The last Prime Minister of Scotireland, the man who had taken it from the trashcan of the world and turned it into a power to be reckoned with, appeared to have reached rock bottom. But Jenkins remained, determined that he would do what he could to help, despite being already under intense pressure as leader of the opposition. Irish would not go through his ordeal alone.

Siberia embargoes Russia.
"Sir? May I ask you something?" Said one of the dictator's secretaries.
"Yes. What is the question?" Asked The Dictator.
"What's with embargoing all of these countries? Can't we all just get along?" Said the secretary.
"My, my..... You don't know anything do you. If you don't embargo a nation, then you're not stating that you dislike a certain action that the nation did. Now, if you would remember your world history, the United States did that during World War 2 when Japan attacked Nationalist China. I'm[ doing the same thing to Russia." Said The Dictator.
"While I get your point, doesn't it seem worthless to embargo a nation that is doing a good deed to the world?" Said the secretary.
"Is it really a good deed? I mean, sure Poland killed at least 10% of the world's population in a matter of minutes, but that doesn't mean that a country should take them out. Even if that was a good reason, Poland still shouldn't deserve death. I mean, I think I even gave them money." Said the Dictator.
"But what about those idiots in the Chinese government. We embargoed them didn't we?" Said the secretary.
"Yes we did. But, they are a threat -even though they claim to be a democratic government- to the good of the world. That is why I embargoed them." Said The Dictator.
"Ah. I see. That is all I have." Said the secretary. "Good day All Powerful Dictator."
"Thank you for this conversation. I have been quite lonely since my wife and 3 kids were taken in a plane crash a few years ago. Let us talk again. Bye bye."
