Summary: The turn of the century is upon the world. A great century of war and technological advancement has just occurred between the darkness of the Napoleonic years and the Industrial Revolution. A few great nations have solidified their places in the world while a few new nations intend to show their might. You will decide what the fate of these nations is.

overpain - United Kingdom

-The Kingdom invests in a strengthened navy, investing heavily in the creation of submarines. As a result, eight submarines are built and three destroyers are built as well.
-Diplomats are sent to Russia, Canada, and the United States to work out an alliance. Canadians everywhere are confused as to why a diplomat was sent to what is essentially a puppet state under the Confederacy Act. The United States accepts the alliance but still sticks to its Monroe Policy.
-A new tax is implemented that forces 2% of all income to go straight to the Royal Family. Not many people are happy about this but they go along with it anyway.
-A large investment is spent in the building of entertainment centers. Great opera houses and large cinemas are built. Happiness improves across the entirety of the UK as a result.

Ruskie - China

-The Great Reform begins, its plan is to effectively modernize the Chinese military. It is entirely modeled after the the German General Staff.
-The military is turned into one of Meritocracy, allowing the accomplishments of its soldiers to allow them to climb the ladder rather than the family name.
-Experts all around the world are sought after to help begin reforming China, many see China as a worthless cause but a good number still arrive in Beijing.
-The Boxer Rebellion is ongoing at this point but is being won by the forces that assist China.
-The economy is changed into a more capitalist format, free enterprise is introduced and businesses around the world flock to this new location for business.
-Government funding is placed on the improvement of infrastructure, this puts a heavy strain on the Chinese economy due to the heavy military reforms. China is quickly falling behind economically.
-Paranoia shows through as a great many government officials and generals are "purged" or rather placed in work camps. There is a 58% mortality rate in these camps.
-The government begins to "westernize", turning into a "democracy" but is still fairly one sided.
-The administration turns into a meritocracy, following in the military's footsteps.
-There are reports of rebels being brutally slaughtered across the nation. These reports are generally credited towards the idea of a "secret police".

Intoxicated Spy - Russia

-The armies, if they can be called armies, are mobilized and stationed along the borders of Central Europe.
-Austria-Hungary is invited into an alliance, Austria-Hungary respectfully declines, citing the tensions between Russia and Germany and the strong alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary.
-Rifling research begins and subsequently ends with a much more powerful rifle. Is is a bolt-action rifle, allowing more efficiency in firing.
-The idea of a mobile artillery unit is surfaced and research begins on this idea. A prototype is built but is abandoned due to its incredible sluggishness.
-A vote is called around the nation for which type of government they would wish to have. 10% vote continued monarchy, 46% vote democracy, and 44% vote communism.
-Poland asks for a small amount of independence.

MountainWatcher - Ethiopia (I still can't believe you chose Ethiopia)

-The military budget is increased by 15%, putting an incredible strain on a weak economy.
-A message is sent to Europe falsely claiming that the country of Ethiopia is extensively civilized and religious.
-Mining efforts increase and diamond yield increases as a result.
-The process of building a great cathedral, yet to be named, is started. The leader of Ethiopia forces the government to become a theocracy.

[Seed Eater] - Germany

-The top five private businesses are hastily shoved into worker control. The upper class of Germany cries foul.
-A reason for this is also hastily brought forward, citing it being a result of pressure from the Social Democratic Party. The SDP is fully endorsed by the Kaiser.
-The seats of the Reichstag are opened for free election. Many members stay put but a few are replaced by SDP members.
-All researching power is put into the increase of efficiency in the output of food.

Stethor - Brazil (Turn one and a large turn to start, how lovely :v:)

-Local police militias are established, the formal military force is abolished. The economy begins to flourish.
-Communications begin with the European powers to negotiate trade. Austria-Hungary and Sweden wholeheartedly agree to a trade agreement with Brazil.
-South Africa and Peru both agree to import foods into Brazil.
-Coffee and Sugar are heavily produced and exported.
-Heavy investment is placed in the improvement of communications.
-European countries are contacted, they are asked if they wish to have a bit of the Amazon Rainforest. I foresee disaster.
-An election occurs that is most likely rigged, the outcome is a ratio of 8-2
-Propaganda is distributed, closely tying the revolution in Brazil to the American and French revolutions. This keeps the civilian populace ignorant and happy.

Liem - Italy

-A reform begins with the intention of modernizing the military, this puts a strain on the economy but not enough of one to damage too much.
-The borders are fortified in paranoia of an attack.
-Working class men are encouraged to enlist in the military. An influx of enlistment begins as a result.
-Cheese and other dairy products are subsidized to sustain them, these productions flourish.

DPennington - Canada (Ven Keao is still with us in spirit, influencing DPennington to do his bidding... that bastard)

-The idea of a mobile artillery platform comes about but isn't seriously considered due to the lack of practicality at the moment.
-Submarines are developed, modeled after their British counter-parts.
-The idea of an automatic rifle is also surfaced but isn't very seriously considered as well, although a private institution begins the development of one.
-A non-aggression pact is signed and sent to the United States, the US agrees to it.
-(Goddamn it, here we go) Maple Syrup is advertised heavily and exported.
-A minimum wage is developed after citing the lack of humane conditions in factories, the lower class is greatly pleased by this but still unhappy with the amount of children working.
-The concept of "shifts" at the factories is implemented, allowing these factories to run 24/7. The output that is a result is astounding.
-Mining and oil-drilling begins around the nation, increasing the worth of Canada and its economy.
-The government begins shifting its ideals to that of a Marxist-Communist one, much to the upper-class' dismay.
-Socialized health-care is established, allowing for everybody to gain access to healthcare.
-Socialized education is also established, allowing a basic education from K-12.
-Military service is required for at least one year for anybody between the ages of 18-25. If they continue to serve for another year they will receive a free year of college. A max of four years (eight years of service) can be acquired.
-Canada has established itself in the forefront of all things economic due to its ability to exploit its natural minerals and market its goods.

[Seed Eater] - Germany

-The Kaiser steps down for what is suspected to be pressure from the Social Democratic Workers and the position is abolished. The Reichstag is disbanded and 58% of seats are guaranteed to the SDP, 12% to the General German Workers' Association (ADAV), and 10% to the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany (SDAP), the rest is left to free election. The Transitional German Workingmen's Association is implemented to help smooth the transition from capitalism to socialism, ensuring that the military doesn't gain full power. Protests begin in Frankfurt and Berlin due to the sudden changes that have caused mass upheaval worldwide economically. Germany's economy is in shambles due to debts piling up as a result of nobody spending anything on the German government. (This is only a temporary side-effect of such a dramatic change in the government, it can become worse if nothing is done in Frankfurt and Berlin).
-Enlistment campaigns begin but are ignored.
-A join-military training day is hosted with the Austro-Hungarian government, helping the relationship and increasing morale.
-An ambassador is sent to Canada, for what reason is to be seen.
-The government begins the process of researching an auto-cooling system for their currently inefficient machine-guns. The economy is further strained by this funding but not dramatically so.
-Caravans are seen leaving Germany and heading towards Africa. It would seem that weapons and other goods are being sent to Ethiopia. The government denies involvement but the question is left of whom is sending these supplies.

DPennington - Commonwealth of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories

-The research of a mask that blocks out outside gasses using a filter is begun, a mask is produced by December but most soldiers complain about its bulkiness and uncomfortability.
-Rifled weapons are built, allowing for devastating fire upon the enemy lines. Cannons are given similar designs with similar results.
-The first modern frigate is designed and built at a high price, further production would result in a heavy strain on the economy.
-Combat Dirigibles are developed but are decided to be too unreliable in relation to the expense.
Submarine and Frigate outputs are increased but put a heavy strain on the economy, there is now more expenditure than there is income.
-The mass production of small arms begins, they are fairly cheap so this does nothing to affect the economy.
-A new uniform is introduced, designed specifically for cold weather conditions.
-Canada decides that it will gladly accept an alliance with the United Kingdom at a price, autonomy for the Canadian government.
-Canada asks for autonomy officially.
-A request is made for the United Kingdom to relinquish Prince William Island and Newfoundland and Labrador (the Eastern regions of Canada).
-Many construction projects begin around the nation, large power plants are built in vast urban centers that are relied upon for industrial output, factories are built to increase the output of goods, mainly military goods, foundries are built to smelt metals that are being mined across Canada, and the construction of a railway network begins. Industrial output is increased dramatically.
-Two is established that effectively ends any and all child labor and increase education tenfold. Those under the age of 16 are prohibited from working. Those under the age of 18 are required to go to school.
-Women are allowed to work in factories to make up for the loss of child labor, a huge propaganda project is started to change the image of women from low-order housewive to the industrial backbone of Canada and the very reason Canada can thrive.
-Canada is renamed to the Commonwealth of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories
-The year is an average year, the economy doesn't get any better due to high expenditure, nor does it get any worse due to the industrial output increasing.

Ruskie - China

-The Reform is slowed down, the economy improves slightly as the strain is lessened.
-A few divisions are sent to put down the Boxer Rebellion. This proves to be especially successful, the entire rebellion is destroyed and the economy essentially liberated.
-More economic experts are hired, these men and women are becoming far less timid due to the end of the war.
-A new taxation system is implemented, it is said that the cheers of the civilians of China could be heard from the Americas.
-Infrastructure becomes the top priority to get the reforms working, large amounts of money are put into the development of roads, railways, and mines. Trade is far easier and the strain that was previously put upon farmers becomes a lighter weight.
-Following Canada, China implements a "shift" idea that allows 24/7 working in the factories.
-Further paranoia in the government as more government and military officials are "purged". Everybody in the government fears for their lives...that is besides the emperor.
-Further westernization occurs, namely the increase in the building of factories.
-A well known Opium Smuggler is killed by an unknown source. It is thought to be the fabled Secret Police.
-The Chinese language is bastardized and simplified.

MountainWatcher - Ethiopia

-The military budget is decreased by a solid 5%, the economy shows signs of improvement.
-Aid is sought from those religiously strong nations in Europe and the Americas. France and Spain show up, nobody else really gives a fuck though. Christianity is spread throughout the regions surrounding Ethiopia.
-Mining efforts increase, diamond excavation increases tenfold and the economy further improves.
-A vast amount of homeless and otherwise poor people are rapidly disappearing from villages, most of them arrive in the Americas and the majority are women. The government plays it off as a minor crime-ring but it is thought to go much deeper than that.
-Church going is mandatory. If church is missed two weeks in a row the offender has their smallest finger on their left hand chopped off. If they run out of fingers the entire hand is lopped off, then it moves on to the right hand.
-Vast amounts of money arrive from what seems to be Germany.

Flag unavailable
Aerkhan - Netherlands

-The army is further trained to be ready to attack or defend. A lot of money goes into this and the Netherlands seems to have a bit of a problem on its hands economically.
-A diplomat is sent to Germany to request an alliance (you can do this by PM as long as it is confirmed by both sides in the turn).
-The economy is focused upon the militarization of the nation.
-The entirety of parliament is dissolved and the monarch is given total rule over the Netherlands.

Flag unavailable

-Scientists are funded by the state to research physics. Nothing groundbreaking has been reported yet.
-Mass deforestation begins, especially in Siberia.
-A military draft of exactly 33% of the male population begins.
-The government system is changed to mirror that of England. A two-party system is created and free elections begin. The monarch no longer has any true power over the government. This transition goes surprisingly smoothly although there is a slight economic downturn.
-Free education is given to the civilians of Russia.
-Poland is granted limited independence, similar to that of what Canada is, if Russia goes to war Poland must follow. Poland is also required to support Russia in economic matters.
-Prior to the Polish liberation a small protest begins in the name of the "Kadets" in Warsaw. These so called "Kadets" are credited to the spreading of the message of idealism.

Liem - Italy

-The border is fortified out of what is thought to be paranoia.
-A formal navy is finally formed. It consists of exactly zero boats.
-After sitting around like idiots for awhile the government decides to build boats and recruit sailors. The Italian navy is still weak due to these boats not being very top-of-the-line.
-Requests are sent out to anybody and everybody to allow the Italians to build embassies on their soil.
-Alliance requests are sent to the following nations: Canada, Spain, Britain, Brazil.
-Cheese and Pizza are heavily exported. The crates are all marked with the words "better than Maple Syrup". And so the competition begins.

-A railway system project is initiated and scheduled to be finished by 1905.
-Heavy investments are made in the extraction of oil.
-Religious freedom is granted... except the Jews... fuck the Jews. :v:

overpain - United Kingdom

-Research is begun on the development of a trustworthy airplane. Nothing groundbreaking is developed although there is a promising design in production.
-Armored Cars are built for the first time, they, like their Japanese counterparts, are slow and unreliable.
-All parts of America that the UK still owns is given to Canada in exchange for an alliance.
-A non-aggression pact is agreed with Russia. Germany is still a question mark.
-A proposition is sent to Ethiopia. In exchange for food and other support Ethiopia will give half of its land to the crown.
-A law is established that every citizen is to be granted a month of vacation time. Businesses gawk at this idea but are forced to accept it anyway.

DPennington - Commonwealth of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories

-Gas Mask designs are revised and are noticeably improved in their comfort and portability.
-The first true magazine fed semi-automatic rifle is designed and tested. It has yet to yield favorable results in durability and accuracy but its firing rate is astounding.
-Production on frigates and submarines is cut back, but only slightly so. The strain on the Canadian economy is lessened.
-Funding is placed in the development of a new kind of artillery unit, one using explosive shells rather than cannonballs. It is currently still in the design stage due to the lack of ability to control the recoil and retain necessary propulsion.
-Funding is placed in the development of a handheld weapon that can, quite literally, throw flames. The first prototype explodes in the user's face, killing him brutally. Designs are still being drawn up at this point.
-Embassies are built for the following nations: United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Russia. All embassies are based in Ottawa. Ambassadors are invited from all four of those nations.
-A mass shipment of Maple Syrup is sent to Italy for the low price of nothing. Italians everywhere are finding new ways to use Maple Syrup (Will provide list in Italy's turn).
-A petition is sent to the United States to allow Canada to drill for oil in Alaska.
-An offer is sent to Italy, Canada wishes to sell frigates and submarines to Italy.
-A rail project begins, it is to connect all industrial and residential centers of Canada to each other and possibly into the United States.
-Small arms and riffled cannons are exported to a variety of smaller European and South American nations.
-More mines are opened, increasing the demand for miners, increasing the amount of jobs available, all in all this was a very good idea economically.
-Oil drilling is likewise increased.
-The first off-shore drilling platform is built off of the western coast of Canada. This monumental event has sown the seeds for the well oiled age of the world.
-The economy again improves dramatically and it is very safe to say that Canada holds the best economy in the world.

Crossu88 - Japan

-The funding for improvements on Japanese rifles increases by a full 50%. This shockingly high increase pays huge dividends towards the effectiveness of the rifles but doesn't do the economy any good. The Japanese have created the first truly lightweight rifle, disposing of any usage of wood. Rifles are entire made of plastic and metal. Unfortunately the rifles aren't the most powerful but they still provide reliable accuracy and, of course, can kill.
-A massive tank is designed, it is currently in prototype form. It is a heavy weight tanks designed for defense. It is very slow and cumbersome but is difficult to destroy (due in part to the sloped armor). A lightweight tank is also designed, using a much smaller base and a weaker cannon but it is capable of high speeds (relatively speaking) and good maneuverability. Yet another tank is designed, it is to be a tank destroyer. Sacrificing armor for speed and cannon strength, it is designed to be an “anti-tank tank” of sorts. All three tanks are currently being tested and are sure to be expensive.
-Japanese Frigates are designed and the first one rolls off of the dock in Nagasaki. This singular ship has damaged the economy heavily.
-Funding is placed in the design of fighter planes and bomber planes. Nothing practical has been designed yet.
-A tax of .035 is placed on all sales, many citizens gripe about it but are reminded that it pays huge dividends towards the safety of Japan.
-Propaganda is heavily distributed, patriotism is at an all time high.
-Japanese imports to China seem to just disappear at the borders of China for no apparent reason at all. As a result, Japan is currently receiving no income for their exports to China.

overpain - United Kingdom

-Funding is continued in the field of fighter planes. A prototype is finally developed and flown. It crash lands after three minutes, the pilot survived with minor injuries. It is thought to be a success and engineers begin diagnosing the issues of the design to improve the performance of the plane.
-Investment is placed in the creation of kinetic bombs, for use on airplanes. Nothing has been created yet.
-Gasmasks are created, they follow the design of the Canadian gasmasks heavily.
-Italy and the United Kingdom join in an alliance.
-Ambassadors are sent to Germany, requesting that they accept the non-aggression pact. Another ambassador is sent to France requesting a non-aggression pact as well.
-An offer is sent to Ethiopia: Food, weapons, and money are given to Ethiopia in exchange for an alliance.
-The government mandated holiday time is reduced to three weeks (a far more acceptable number).
-Investment is placed in the betterment of the infrastructure of the United Kingdom, a great deal of the funding goes towards electricity.
-A new fund is implemented that supports small and new businesses and favors them over big businesses.
-Taxation of farmers is decreased, allowing more income for them and giving them more room to buy land and farming equipment.
-A large project begins: the implementation of the telephone system. Once thought to be incredibly unnecessary by most, the telephone is quickly becoming a relied upon system in the United Kingdom.
-London bids for the 1904 Summer Olympics.

MountainWatcher - Ethiopia

-A series of mysterious arrests occur. It is suggested that there is a group of vigilantes on the loose, or even perhaps a government sanctioned Secret Police. The Ethiopian government denies involvement.
-Aid is requested from France and Spain.
-Germany is thanked for its generosity, it seems that Ethiopia does not care about the possibility that Germany is not involved in the supplies.
-Mining efforts further increase, the economy takes a dramatic upswing due to the influx of jobs.
-Oil derricks are built in large amounts along with refineries. The economy further improves.
-Scholars are hired from Spain and France to help educate the Ethiopian people and research new tools and weapons.
-The tribal culture of Ethiopia begins being systematically destroyed.
-The Ethiopians follow a developing trend, factory shifts.
-Investment is placed in the improvement of infrastructure. While pricey in the short term, it will pay huge dividends in the long run.
-The civilian populace calls for a response to the Italian armament of their colonies bordering Ethiopia.
-Ethiopia's economy has now increased dramatically but is still at the bottom of the pile.

Ruskie - Chinese Empire (Don't worry, your secret mistake is safe with me)

-The Great Reform continues quite smoothly.
-A great deal of scholars and scientists are heading to China at this point to assist in the improvement of China's technology and infrastructure.
-A non-aggression pact is signed with Russia along with a trade agreement.
-The infrastructure is further improved, allowing for quicker communication and trade.
-Taxes are lowered, support for the current government improves and nothing happens to the economy due to the high amount of income from exports and production.
-A thorough check is run to gauge the amount of corruption in the Chinese government, corruption is at an all time low but due to the purges there is a lack of experience in a lot of key parts of the government, especially at the military level.
-The government is as westernized as it can be at this point.
-Crime rates are at an all time low due to the fear of the so called “secret police”.

Yersinia - United States of America

-A modernization project begins.
-The United States already has rifled weaponry.
-A new design is tested, a clip-loaded semi-automatic rifle. It will take awhile to create a reliable and accurate semi-automatic rifle. The bolt-action rifle is still the weapon of choice in the United States military for the time being.
-Funding is placed in the development of a more efficient diesel engine, estimates put a new version of a diesel engine at one year.
-The border to Mexico is armed and reinforced.
-The United States begins producing a fleet of Frigates and Destroyers, putting a large strain on the economy but not near enough to actually damage it due to the vast resources.
-Alliances are offered to the following nations: Canada, United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany
-Child Labor is made illegal, women replace the children in the factories as a result.
-Following the growing trend, the United States implements a shift system at the factories.
-A vast amount of power plants, factories, railway lines, mines, and oil wells are built all across the United States. The economy jumps and America assumes its place near the top of the world economically.
-E Pluribus Unum becomes the official motto of the United States.
-A law is barely passed that enforces the Separation of Church and State. All politicians are forced to leave religion out of their decisions. Any decision or vote that is blatantly influenced by religion awards the politician a “strike”, three strikes and the politician in question will not be allowed to run for office again. The law is in review in the Supreme Court.
-Tax exemption is revoked for churches and religious organizations. This is also being reviewed by the Supreme Court due to the controversy involved.
-The upper class is taxed a higher amount, enforcing the equality of taxation based on the percentage of income.
-A large crackdown begins on the illegal gun trade.
-The acquirement of weaponry becomes easier for law abiding citizens. Due to the influx of the purchase of weapons, the government sponsors a training course for $40.00 that will provide a rifle and ammunition and will train a gun owner in the workings of a weapon.

Liem - Italy

-A massive expansion project begins with the military. New units are commissioned, training time is doubled, and reinforcement begins in the Italian colonies.

-Freedoms granted to the European states are granted to the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to catch up the the European standard of life.
-Public Schools are built more frequently to help the education of the Empire.

KriegsMar1ne - Austria-Hungary

-The German Mauser rifle is copied and reproduced in Austria-Hungary. It is further improved by implementing a ten round clip. It also holds improvement in accuracy and durability.
-Mustard Gas is further developed.
-A prototype of an armored car is developed based off of a farming tractor. Its speed is horrendous at the given moment.
-A new plane design is drawn up and a prototype is created. It fails miserably.
-The idea of a rocket is formed, so far there are no reliable designs.
-Three railway guns are built, the massive expenditure damages the economy.
-The novel idea of a Sniper squad is implemented. A Schwerner rifle with a telescopic scope mounted atop it provides great range and due to the accuracy of the rifle it proves greatly effective in testing.
-The KMS Dreadnought comes off of the docks, mounted with six 12 Inch Guns and eight 9.2 Inch Guns, it proves to be quite the formidable ship. The expenditure further damages the economy.

Daniel Smith - Ottoman Empire

-Research begins on a new vehicle called the All-Terrain Armoured War Mobile (ATAWM) and nicknamed the Autumn Tank , it is capable of relatively high speeds and is capable of going through any terrain without slowing down. The downside is its notable lack of armor and cannon strength.

-The Ottomans developing and producing stationary machine guns.

FurFag - France

-France declares war on Germany! Army groups attempt to smash into the Alsace-Lorraine, in an attempt to liberate "lost French lands". Surprisingly, dedicated German resistance in Strasbourg slows the French down, but the absolute pulverization of German positions results in most of the central corridor of Germany being lost.

Wars:

-Korean War: 1913-

--War of Eastern Expansion: 1913-
--Russia:
---Russian troops storm across the Polish and Austrian borders in the millions. Some troops get bogged down in the mountains of Austria but very quickly break out and continue on their way. By the end of the year half of Austria is taken and a quarter of Poland is controlled. Only one French army is devoted to attempting to stop the Russians.
--Ottoman Empire:
---Ottoman troops begin the invasion of Austria and quickly seize most of the southern cities before being gradually slowed by the French and then stopped cold at the French front lines. A massive counter-offensive begins in which the French, Austrians, and Germans push all they way back to the border.
--Austria:
---The highly touted Austrian border defenses fail quickly due to the waves of Russians and Ottomans but with French help the Austrians manage to stop the Ottomans and push back.
--Poland:
---The Polish armies are very easily handled by the Russians at the beginning of the invasion but a miraculous victory at Olszlyn manages to slow down the Russian armies enough to allow the German armies to put a stop to the invasion. As of now the Russian armies are based in Elblag, Lomza, and just outside of Warsaw. The entirety of the Lubelskie and Podalski regions are under Russian control.
--Germany:
---German armies arrive just ten days after the beginning of the war to assist their allies. Though spread fairly thin, the well trained armies of Germany provide a major boost to the Polish and Austrians.
--France
---Three months into the war France finally decides to help the Austrians and Polish. They decide that the best course of action is to focus on the Ottomans.

-Canadian Civil War: 1910-
--The Western Canadian dominance continues due to Chinese support. By year's end the only cities left are Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. East Canada is on the verge of defeat and the end of the war is finally in sight.

-Romanian Revolution: 1913-
--The dramatic Battle of Bucharest occurs, 3,500 Romanian militia men defend the city from a massive force of 11,000. Those 3,500 men hold the city for four months, frustrating the Ottomans and causing 6,000 casualties. Bucharest finally falls but at a great price. A message to the Ottomans that this war will not be easy.

Post link: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1190776&p=37991241&viewfull=1#post37991241

Events of 1914:

-The Canadian Civil War is finally brought to an end as East Canada surrenders in Ottawa. The Republic of Canada's new constitution is modeled after America's Constitution but with more restrictions to ensure nothing like what had occured ever occurs again. Rebuilding begins in Canada.
-Japan begins an offensive into northern Korea. By July, the Japanese have the Koreans on their heels. Japan begins a large amount of recruiting and people are speculating that an attack on China might occur. If China isn't careful they may lose a valuable ally in Korea and may be endangered by Japan.
-The European economy crashes in August. England has now decided to take a role in the war to ensure their own economic safety. They begin sending supplies to Austria and Poland via land. This takes time of course.
-At this point Mexico has ensured that they truly are the strongest nation in the Americas. Their military is only rivaled by the truly elite of Europe and their economy is only beaten by China's. -The United States begins making alliances and opening trade again. It still refuses to work with Mexico.

Wars:

-Canadian Civil War: 1910-

-Korean War: 1913-

-War of Eastern Expansion: 1913-
--Russia:
---The armies in Austria continue pushing forward but the defenses strengthen as the Austrian armies converge. Another quarter of Austria is taken. Meanwhile in Poland the Russian armies are fairing much worse. A daring maneuver by the Polish cuts off the Russian supply line and encircles two of Russia's armies. One at Radom and another in Warsaw. The army in Radom surrenders after two months. The army in Warsaw continues to hold out hope for another Russian army to break through the Polish defenses and give them supplies.
----The Battle of Gdansk - Russia begins an attack on the port city of Gdansk but soon finds that the Polish have dug in deep there with German assistance. The battle rages throughout the city for months without any territory being permanantly gained. At one point the Russians nearly had the Polish trapped but the brave actions of 50 men allowed supplies to enter and the Polish broke the encirclement.
--Poland:
---The Polish Sixth Army, in conjunction with the German Eighth Army, make what will perhaps become the most famous offensive of the war, completely encircling the Russian troops in south eastern Europe. The offensive becomes known as the "Jedermann Pincer", named after the German general who planned to attack.
--Austria:
---A devastating year for Austria. An offensive by the Ottomans and Russians has devastated their military. The wounded armies converge on Zagreb, making this their fortress city. The ensuing battle takes up most of the year. The fighting continues into the winter.
--France:
---France uses the same tactics of baiting as they did the year prior. This time the Ottomans are cautious and prepared. Instead of being turned back the Ottomans begin using their own trickery. False maneuvers serve to confuse the French armies, these armies move to block the Ottomans, opening an avenue to flank the French. The French 2nd Army is completely destroyed and général Bellerose is captured and tortured for information. He dies before giving any information.
--Germany:
---Heerführer Jedermann devises a beautiful maneuver to encircle two of the strongest Russian armies. His "Jedermann Pincer" is a major success and the Russian army is completely stopped. In Austria the Germans aren't doing quite as well but this can be blamed on Austrian shortcomings as well as général Bellerose's blunder.
--United Kingdom:
---The UK begins sending supplies to the western nations of the war.

-Romanian Revolution: 1913-
--The city of Deva becomes a major battleground as the Romanian Revolutionary Army shows up there. The citizens of Deva welcome the Romanians with open arms and many of them join the Romanian cause. The Ottomans charge into the city, taking heavy losses along the way, and raize it. This turns the rest of Romania on the Ottomans. The Ottomans have no chance of a cooperative Romania ever after this.

-Finnish War: 1914-
--The Republic of the Nordic Communes invades Finland. From the get-go it is known that this war will be long and difficult. An amphibious attack on Helsinki fails spectacularly and the border battles continue. No land is gained or lost. The Baltic is also a major area for battles. Large Scandinavian fleets clash with the outmatched Finnish but Finnish bravery continues to allow their success. Finnish ships are known to slam into Scandinavian ships if the Finns know they have no chance at survival.
