OOC: Well Germany's displeasure has been stated already, though you will be getting a talking too by PM as we sent England something and you did not deliver.
 
Thanks. Its now time for the most epic trial since Nuremberg ever.

There may be in absentia verdicts and I may put out the new Cabinet of Vichy France.

EDIT:

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM VICHY FRANCE, MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

We will be holding a grand trial to try the traitors of the French State, in particular Resistance leaders, foreign agents, and conspirators against the people. We will be holding this trial at the Palais de Justice in Paris, and will send special invitations to selected international observers to witness true justice. The trial will be set for the entire year of 1952.

OOC: There probably won't be any transcripts of the trial, since that would take forever to compile, but I will make a damned long list of charges, verdicts, and punishments. Possibly conduct during trial for a select few important people. Any foreign nations, feel free to respond.
 
Integrating Venezuela​
In the wake of the first of the South American Power Wars, Venezuela was a half destroyed province of Brazil. During the first year of the war, Brazilian troops marched steadily forward, and much of Eastern Venezuela was captured intact, with the exception of the border, and a few other places where pitched battles took place. However, as the world slid into 1951, Brazilian forces were halted in the in parts of Western Venezuela, and that area was heavily pounded by bombers, missiles, and back and forth ground fighting. When it was subdued, and Venezuela annexed into the Brazilian empire, it was closer to two provinces than one.

Eastern Venezuela is hardly a land of prosperity, but compared with the west it could be paradise. After many years of Socialist rule, this new prospect of freedom is an enchanting one. Already several attempts at business ventures have been made, and the people have quickly adapted to Brazilian Capitalism. The Brazilian armies were welcomed as liberators, and the people have taken quickly to life in Brazil. Many people expect to have independence once the last essence of Socialism is scoured from the land, for most it is a far off dream. Near, but not at the border between Eastern and Western Venezuela meets the shining beacon of Western Venezuela, the old capital Caracas.

Western Venezuela is now a harsh desolate land. Nearly a third of the people living there have died either during the Brazilian invasion, or after following the waves of Starvation and Disease that follows the destruction of a place that way. Even more are destined to die, despite shipments of grain and fruit into the province, as well as an infusion of Doctors and Medical supplies. President Quadros made the rescue of the province a priority, but Brazil lacks the overall capacity to quickly deal with the newfound burden.

Despite the attempts at lifting the poverty by the government, Eastern Venezuela is a hard and unwilling member of the Brazilian state. Many lost love ones, and with farms ruined and factories burned, almost everyone lost the life they had under socialism. This newfound freedom is a light at the end of the tunnel, but most are bitter at the fact that there are pitfalls and stalactites in the way to the end. Eastern Venezuela is currently based in Barquisimeto, the Brazilian armies’ major base during the attack of Maracaibo.

Originally the Brazilian government planned to have Venezuela be a single province of Brazil, however following the annexation, the stark differences between east and west required very different approaches from the Brazilian Government. They were going in two different directions, with two different objectives. Due to the difficulty of having two different parts to a single province, the Brazilian government made the decision to instead split them into east and west, with a different provincial government for each.

To England
From the United States of America

We are sad to see Prime Minister Mosley leave office, we realize he was a great leader, even if his ideology was different. Though we congratulate the new Prime Minister, Arthur Kellington Davis on his appointment and we look forward to doing business with him concerning England's possessions in the Western Hemisphere.

Our Secretary of State should approaching Heathrow Airport as we speak, with what we hope would be a sign of friendship and progress between our two nations after several years of bitter arguments and anger. As we speak, I have ordered the US navy to relieve the blockade for the most part, our subs and smaller patrol crafts will remain in the area to intercept your ships, but hopefully this will be the first step towards relieving tensions between our nations.

Thomas Dewey, President of the United States of America.

OOC: Forgive my long absence, I haven't had much time to respond to any posts or send orders due to a family emergency. Hopefully things will calm down and I can continue to participate in this.

From the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

We are also sad to see Sir Oswald Mosley leaving office, but his health has not been the best since the terrorist attack of two years ago, and that has prevented him from acting in several situations that required fast thinking and acting, such as the Jamaican blockade and Nigeria's declaration of independence.

We are glad that you are willing to end the blockade soon, and will gladly receive the Secretary of State into our lands, so that the relationship we had in the past may be restored.
