The World Turned Upside Down

Yes I am a 'he' although I try to keep posts ICC so just call me Mr. President He until I get a chance to write my first story.

Now that I'm here I'd like to greet my neighbors: Day Glow Pink, Brown, Grey, Deep Blue, Bright Yellow, Light Yellow, and Dull Pink. Care to tell me something about yourselves?

Sokoto is an African Monarchy that oppresses Mexicans. The Mexican Free State is a Communist Dictatorship that oppresses capitalists and Africans. Liberia is a military dictatorship that oppresses pretty much everyone. New Zion is a Israel-in-Africa that oppresses everyone that isn't Jewish.

And the WAU is a bunch of European colonials, that oppress everyone who isn't European.

Welcome to West Africa, the place where Europe and America dump their garbage.

AFRO-ASIANS JOIN SPACE RACE. Nagasaki, Nippon. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Afro-Asian alliance, the first satellites of the alliance have been launched from Nagasaki. Scientists from a half-dozen nations have assisted in this project, which has been extensively delayed due to cuts in funding to assist in other projects. This puts the Afro-Asians as the third power to enter into the space age.

European News Report

CIVIL WAR IN EIRE. Dublin, Eire. A series of events beginning with a threatening leader to President Kennedy’s government in Eire has culminated in civil war. After a series of investigations pointed at several prominent anti-American politicians and military officials, attempts were made to detain those responsible. With the support of more conservative elements of the military, a coup was attempted by the fascists on the right. However, a significant part of the military has remained loyal to President Kennedy and the rebels were driven out of Dublin. The rebels have established the Irish Army of the Republic and have seized control of Cork and most of western Eire. Attempts to establish control over northern Eire failed after the Protestants declared support for the Kennedy government.

CIVIL WAR CONTINUES IN LITHUANIA. Vilinus, Lithuania. Heavy fighting has continued between Fascist and republican forces in Lithuania. Fascist military forces have won a minor victory and have managed to seize the Memel coastline from the republicans. Latvia has continued to threaten intervention if the fighting continues at its current scale.
Casualty List
Republican Lithuania: 3 Militia Divisions
Fascist Lithuania: 1 Infantry Division

WAR IN IBERIA ESCALATES. Burgos, Castile. Combat in the Iberian states has escalated following a series of events which has increased the scale of the war. The war has been symbolized by incompetence on behalf of both sides and poor communication. Early in the year, Euskadi fulfilled threats to enter the war on behalf of Catalonia and Castile, seizing the main passes in the Pyrennes and cutting off French military forces. A desperate French counteroffensive failed to reunite the armies with the French mainland. This was followed by heavy fighting in Catalonia, as the Catalonian government ordered a fight from the hillsides. The militia forces of Catalonia refused to follow orders and remained to defend the capital. After a brutal 3-month battle, the city fell to the French and has become besieged by Basque, Catalonian, and Castillian soldiers. Though the Catalonian militia remains embroiled in the fighting in Barcelona, the regular military forces launched a large but futile attack over Pyrennes into France. French armored and local forces easily defeated the clumsy attack. In the skies, the Iberian nations have easily taken control of the air thanks to superior forces provided by Euskadi and Catalonia, and wiping out the French air force. For unknown and possibly foolish reasons, the Catalonian government ordered a bombing of Rome by the entire air force. Only two planes ever made it to Italy, the rest having ditched into the sea on the way. Both incurred only minimal damage upon the Italian defense forces and were shot down soon after. The Italian populace have been angered by the attack and have demanded retribution.
Casualty List
France: 12 Infantry Divisions, 1 Armored Division, 2 Jet Fighter Squadrons
Catalonia: 14 Militia Divisions, 5 Infantry Divisions, 1 Armored Division, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron, 1 Bomber Squadron
Castile: 3 Infantry Divisions, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Euskadi: 1 Infantry Division, 1 Mountain Division, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron, 1 Bomber Squadron

African/Middle Eastern News Report

ELECTIONS IN DAR-AL-ISLAM. Baghdad, Dar-al-Islam. Elections in Dar-al-Islam have had surprising results. The Pan-Islamic Party has once more acquired leadership of the nation, but many regions have seen the rise of yet another party. The Party of Mohammed has at last arrived in Dar-al-Islam. Spearheaded by Persian radical Muslims, the party calls for conversion of all infidels to Islam and the use of violence to achieve that goal. At the moment the Party of Mohammed retains only 39% of the vote, the party grows with each passing day.

CRISIS IN THE RED SEA. Djbouti, Abyssinia. A group of Abyssinian and Islamic ships clashed in a minor naval skirmish in the Red Sea after Abyssinian forces attacked believing the Muslims to be smuggling in arms for rebels and agitators in Abyssinia. The Abyssinian task group was easily defeated by the Islamic force. A group of destroyers were sent to the bottom of the ocean, though it is believed that most of the crews survived and have been picked up by other naval vessels. (-1 Destroyer Group for Abyssinia)

WORLD WAR FOUR ERUPTING? Mogadishu, Somalia. Heavy fighting has occurred throughout Somalia as an international coalition, spearheaded by the Afro-Asian Alliance, reacts to the Somali revolt against the Abyssinian government. However, the coalition’s efforts have been stymied by the arrival of over 200,000 Islamic volunteers, including enough planes to support ten modern air force squadrons. For the first time in history, a rebellion has had air superiority over its masters. The planes from the Dar-al-Islam air force have devastated several Abyssinian armored columns, held the CSA forces at bay, and sunk several major South African ships. Tanks and militia fielded by Somalia and the Islamic volunteers have held most advances into Somalia, and have even threatened to launch raiding offensives into Abyssinia itself. Atrocities have been committed by both sides, as in Addis Abba, Islamic agitators attacked and slaughtered innocent civilians at Easter worship. After hearing of the Easter Massacre, Christian Abyssinian soldiers in Somalia ran rampant over several villages, slaughtering all Muslims they could find. Only after deployment of armored forces to restore order did the rioting end. The obvious Brotherhood of Islamic Nations involvement in the increasing crisis in Abyssinia and Somalia has dramatically increased tension between the Afro-Asians and Muslims.
Casualty List
Somalia: 15 Militia Divisions
Dar-al-Islam: 2 Infantry Divisions, 4 Jet Fighter Squadrons
Pakistan: 1 Infantry Division
Abyssinia: 7 Infantry Divisions, 3 Armored Divisions
Guangxi: 2 Infantry Divisions
South Africa: 1 Infantry Division, 1 Motorized Division, 1 Cruiser Group, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Poland: 2 Jet Fighter Squadrons
Vietnam: 1 Infantry Division
Nippon: 1 Infantry Division
Siam: 1 Infantry Division
CSA: 1 Infantry Division

WAR IN WEST AFRICA CONTINUES. Sokoto, Sokoto. Mexican forces have made significant inroads against Sokotan military forces in their drive west. The fight has become a war of attrition much like the Thames Front in the Communist War. Though Mexican helicopter forces have won significant victories against the Sokotans, but the front remains mostly stable and casualties light. Both sides launched offensives this year to no avail or success.
Casualty List
Sokoto: 2 Infantry Divisions, 1 Motorized Division, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron
Mexican Free State: 3 Infantry Divisions, 1 Jet Fighter Squadron

@those concerned, the proposed research into techs which did not become available until after this update did not take place. What techs were under research have been completed, otherwise Private Enterprise has been directed into making more money for rich people.

@those concerned, nuclear weapons research costs are determined based on a variety of factors and there is no set price. The median cost is 45 IC for nuclear weapons, but this can change nation by nation.

@Mindtoaster, the reason your people are unhappy is because your nation is ruled by whites, with a large Mexican/native African underclass. Furthermore, to do research it is best to specify what you are researching and at the moment, I’ve put your research IC into the African Research Fund with your allies’ IC.

@carmen510 and Pinman, Chile already possesses both Tank Turrets and Napalm, therefore, neither has been traded to Brazil.

Palad07 and fantasmo have been dropped from Castile and Norway due to inactivity.

To Catalonia:
From Italy:

We hereby declare war on your nation for your attack. You're government will be overthrown and a new one put in its place as a result of this attack.

To Castile and Euskadi:
From Italy:

We wish to remain neutral in your war with France, however our war with Catalonia calls for a joint effort with French forces in that region. As such we ask you remove any military forces you have from Catalonia and remove any air forces from it's skies.

To France:
From Italy:

We wish to utilize your current zone of control in Catalonia to demolish what remains of their government. However once the nation is in our control we will not accept any attack into Castile from the new Catalonian borders. We will ask that all French forces in the area remove themselves from Catalonia once that nation has been pacified.
 
OOC: Great Update

BREAKING NEWS:

Saladin Khan, the Hakan(President) of the Turan Ummah was found dead today in his personal room-he died under suspicious circumstances(OOC: All I know right now is that he is dead...). 7 days of mourning have been declared and the nation he founded will wear all black during those days.

Israfil Rizwan was taken over as Hakan. He is the popular President of the
Legislature and native to the province of Afghanistan. The nation is concerned though that he may be a bit on the young side, as he is 30. Hakan Rizwan responded jokingly that he's had a beard since before the Ummah existed, so they shouldn't worry. He has shown a secular and internationalist streak at time, and his progressive beliefs are mostly in line with the youth of the Ummah, who make up an overwhelming majority after the post-war baby booms.
 
From: Catalonia
To: Italy

We were following our foreign policy for tit-for-tat. You bombed our nation with no legitimate cause, we bomb in retaliation. We hereby nullify your declaration of war.

From: Catalonia
To: Castile, Euskadi

Let us drive the French out of the continent, permanently and let us move into Paris and destroy them.

From: Catalonia
To: France

Surrender now.
 
From Abyssinia
To World:
The coutnries of the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations (except, at least from what we saw, Turan Ummah) are clearly trying to destroy us, our territories, and our independence. We ask for your support and to begin discussing collective action in solidarity against their aggression on us, a sovereign country, in the UN [thread].
Their illegal, unwelcome incursion into our land is a blatant act of war against us, with the simple exception that no formal declaration was sent.
Will you allow them such latitude to attack whomever they wish, setting a precedent for more countries to take what land they want from neighbors? Or will you stand with us and against imperialist aggressors? (Ironically, we're the "Empire" here and we're not invading anyone...)

@EQ: Good update!

Woo, a backwards nation. That's so fun to play. =)
 
President Lord Chiang Kai-shek grants his stamp of approval to the idea of citizenship for his Instruments of War, and the update. He also reaffirms his commitment to the Afro-Asian Alliance.
 
@EQ thanks for clearing that up.

all the CSA will say for now (before further inquest into exactly what has happened, discussion with alliance, etc.) is that we have NO territorial designs on Somalia at all. Also, we will do all we can to avert a World War 4, after the horrors of the previous ones.

To Catalonia
From Italy:

You can not simply nullify another nation's sovereign declaration of war. Your leaders are as insane and ignorant as they are insolent. Your pathetic government will be wiped from existance.
 
OOC: We hereby decide that france is cool, and as catalonia's PM sign an agreement merging the two countries permanently, and forcing all catalonians to commit suicide, so the area may be repopulated with actual frenchmen, so there will be no rebellions possible.

We also declare that DaI is withdrawing from Abyssinia, and are partitioning the nation into 36 micronations, each led by a different form of government/sect of islam combination (eg: sunni theocracy, shi'a monarchy, sunni communist dictatorship, shi'a communist dictatorship, etc.) so that all people may choose how they truly want to live.

see what would happen if MY leader could write things for YOUR leaders? same reason you can't do ANYTHING about a declaration of war against you, except attempt at peace.
 
OOC: Oh. I know that. I'm just pretending that Catalonia can do it.

IC: From: Catalonia
To: Italy

We are not stupid enough to egg the Italians on. We are willing to negotiate a peace treaty to avoid war.
 
To Catalonia
From Italy:

You have shown your distaste for peace by attacking civilians in Rome, not a military target, and your constant desire to overthrow our French allies. We demand the immediate stepping down of your government to be replaced with a pro-European League one, and the ending of hostilities with France. These are our demands. Failure to comply will result in Italian troops marching through your countryside in an effort to kill your government officials and ensure the stability of a new, peaceful, one.
