--The CA-MP7 is 55mm medium tank designed for most combat purposes, it excels in open field combat, the only true flaw for this tank is its limitations in the engine, the same being true for all current model Canadian tanks.
--The CA-HP9, a 90mm monster of a tank is best known for it's near impenetrable armor and oversized gun. It excels in street combat due to the lack of need for mobility in such close quarters, although it is extremely strong and can withstand a great deal of punishment, it is usually looked upon with scorn by most tank operators for its lack of speed and the combustibility of its engine, which is known to burst into flames when climbing hills at a certain angle.

EVENTS OF 1873 – NPCs and MISC:

-With military and espionage efforts escalating on both sides of the German split, war in Europe is beginning to look increasingly unpreventable.
-With the submissive nature of the weak Luxembourg government, West German troops march into the nation to a cold but subdued reception having annexed the nation.
-A mysterious religious sect has appeared in Eastern France. Defined by their limited yet fanatically devoted support they have held meetings and services across Western Europe during which they pray to the strung-up corpses of deceased Catholics and give their life servitude to the supposed three Gods who oversee the goings of the world.
-Beyond the absolute control of the supreme council of the 'Eight Enlightened Apostles' there is little internal order and the matter of recruitment is achieved entirely through word of mouth or through pamphlets. Those who dare to refuse the attempted conversion are brutally murdered.
-Due to the secrecy in their operations and to the bizarre nature of their rituals, most authorities simply refuse to believe that the sect exists. Those who do believe can only determine that they initially originated in Lyon. This discovery matters little however, as members of the sect have already infiltrated far beyond the French borders. The increase in their popularity is slow but highly extensive.
-The Russian and Indian forces are struggling to crush the civil disobedience that has developed in Kazakhstan. The matter intensifies somewhat when the uprising spilling over into the land that was once Afghanistan with some unrest occurring even in far western China. Beginning initially as lowly objections to the imperialistic efforts of Russia and India on Kazakhstan, a mighty rebellion has occurred with order and authority ceasing completely in some regions of central Asia.
-From nothing, a large scale guerrilla effort emerges within Ireland to attempt to oust the SAE presence and their incumbent puppet government. With clashes centered in the western and northern reaches of Ireland, rebels and government forces claw for supremacy in tight urban combat within Derry and the small villages surrounding Belfast. In addition, armed unrest is reported deep inside Dublin.
-While any lesser government may have collapsed, the SAE forces are comprehensively trained for such a uprising and the sheer weight of their military occupation of the island ensures that the rebels do not gain any large swathes of territory nor do they manage to maintain any settlements captured. Regardless, industry and order across the island have taken a heavy knock.
-The capability of these Irish rebels is amazing. Despite their position in the world, they are well trained, well armed and well supplied. Your guess is as good as mine. (This is my legacy? Fuck.)
-Piracy within the Atlantic Ocean has witnessed a considerable comeback with the rise of globalism and international trade. These are not common criminals. They are organised and attack in large numbers with fleets to rival those of professional navies.
-There are instances of raids across the western coast of Portuguese Africa where the people, Native or Colonial, are pillaged and massacred. Oil depots on the Nigerian Delta are set ablaze and burn without end for months. The SAE and Gran Colombia are not exempt from occurrences of this type. Attempts are made on the Chinese holdings although the pirates are blown out of the water due to the extend of the Chinese defenses. (Chinese ships suffer standard procedure).
-How these scum came to be so well armed and well financed are matters unknown and 'untraceable'.
-The world is essentially becoming more liberal to notions such as Prostitution, pornography and sexuality in general. This combined with rising standards of living and healthcare, the world is experiencing a 'baby boom'. The situation in Europe suggests it may need it.

Inventions and discoveries of 1873
-Radar by China.
-Desalination techniques by the People's Caliphate and China.
-Railway operating weapon design by the People's Caliphate.
-Hazmat suits by West Germany.
-Sealable Tanks by West Germany.

-Nerve Gas by Austria.
-Botulism poison gas by Austria.
-A treatment for Mustard Gas wounds by Austria.
-Long range ballistic missiles by Canada.

EVENTS OF 1873 - Players:

KriegsMar1ne - United Central European Federation

-A large fortification effort takes place consisting of entrenched gun placements, anti-mechanized and anti-aircraft weaponry constructed above a hefty network of underground networks and bunkers. Quite predictably, the 'Luzendorf Stronghold' is positioned by the border with those pesky West Germans.
-A series of reforms are enacted which over-arch to include seemingly all aspects of the Austrian military with numerous new designs and models forwarded for mass production followed by field service.
-Flamethrowers are produced and make their appearance on the battlefield within special 'Sturm Pioneer' squadrons. Additionally, the tank is tweaked so that the flamethrower may potentially function as the primary weapon.
-The existing Semi-Automatic Rifle, gas mask, smoke grenade, body armor and camouflage designs all undertake standard improvements to increase their performance. Notably, the new battledress is produced from a lightweight, durable plastic and rubber material and with the incorporation of a gas mask it covers the body entirely. Thus, rendering the use of airborne based chemical weaponry useless and completely ineffective.
-A program to introduce a unique wave of super-soldiers through the use of steroid drugs concludes as an absolute failure. Many patients begin to experience violent Heart failures, expiring within the first week. Those who do survive abandon all sense of duty or loyalty to Austria, working together to gruesomely butcher their commanding officers in a single, coordinated assault. The exiled leader of the program now lives in California where he is seeking a political career.
-A pioneering coma inducing nerve gas is manufactured. As well as this, a destructive new poison gas is discovered. The byproduct of heating Botulism to intense heats, it attacks the Lungs of the victim, rendering them dead within moments.
-The buddy system of a two-man sniper unit is realized and quickly becomes a proven tactic. Such that an entire division is created to host these Sniper-Spotter pairs.
-Three battleships, Three Destroyers and Five Submarines are hastily constructed and await command. Austrian industry is now almost entirely devoted to the possibility of an outbreak of war.
-Many projects involving artillery, tanks and bomber aircraft are suggested yet they remain in development. This is due to the allocation of funding to developing the terrifying bad asses of the Austrian infantry.
-Manufacturing, logistics and healthcare all witness general improvements. A treatment for Mustard Gas wounds is discovered.
-Television sets have become commonplace. The government exploits them to full measure as an instrument to distribute propaganda, recruitment advertisements and pornography.
-Horst Wessel Lied is made the national anthem. This combined with the endless degree of propaganda leads morale and public hatred of West Germany to delirious levels.
-A refugee camp is constructed on the border with West German administrated Switzerland. There is some success with local villagers leaving with their families. However, the border is now so heavily guarded and patrolled that it is near impossible to ferry people through.
-Swiss politicians in exile are welcomed into Austria.
-West Germany is publicly berated for their holdings of Switzerland. Their punishment is issued in the shape of an embargo.
-Fascists, Communists and espionage agents are both imprisoned for lengthy periods or executed.
-Ties with Gran Colombia and East Germany are reinforced with a sharp increase of trade
-The Austrian President has become most likely the most heavily guarded official in the world. Testament to the overall paranoia of the country.

Mr. Face - East Germany

-The 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 13th armies position themselves on the Rhine border where they begin a major preemptive defensive campaign. By the fall of the year the defenses of the natural border are such that many view them as impenetrable.
-The takeover of Switzerland by West Germany is a declared unjust and against the will of the Swiss people. Resultantly, all trade is ended with West Germany.
-Reforms are made with the aim of improving healthcare in the nation.

Eli45 - Gran Colombia

-The lucrative industry of exploiting the Earth's riches is increasingly invested into. Mining projects are continued and multiply. Oil rigs are refined so that they are more efficient and therefore more profitable. However, this has the nasty aftereffect of a slight rise in fatalities as the incentive to make more money causes dastardly managers to make cuts in the wrong areas.
-A new model of gas mask is distributed to all infantry units that is successful in filtering even the most volatile of chemicals.
-The efforts to manufacture and weaponize a highly toxic and deadly gas are successful.
-While auto loading tank weaponry remains in the prototype stage more accomplishment is found in developing a 60mm Stub cannon.
-Pornography is invested into. Filthy Latino women enter the field and the world is forever changed.
-Trade is reopened with Oceania.

[Seed Eater] - West Germany

-Württemberg is blamed for the bombing incident that murdered countless West German agents as well as the entire Württemberg political assembly at the time.
-Hans Guttenberg, the President of Württemberg is imprisoned indefinitely until it is possible for him to be cleared of charges.
-Luxembourg is leaned on to join West Germany with emphasis placed on the fact that the two nations share valued ideologies and were already within an alliance. Arguably a mere puppet state to begin with, the Luxembourg government submits and the small nation is peacefully annexed.
-The same cannot be told for Switzerland however. Protesting and unrest is heavy across the Swiss people with many frightened of the unfamiliar, extensive and thorough social change that is promised by the West German controlling body. Though these protests are typically violent and some West German troops are indeed killed, the protests are sporadic and quickly subdued by the heavy military presence present within the land.
-Trade is opened with Russia.
-West Germany works with the RoNC to establish ComRADE (Communists and Reds for Democracy on Earth).
-Financial aid and technology is received from the RoNC.
-Propaganda predominantly focused on the military now consists of 10% of the West German economy. Those who volunteer are promised a set pay increase of 10% of their current wage. The weight of the military bulges.
-Tanks which can be completely sealed are researched. Secondly, full body battledresses familiar to modern Hazmat uniforms are also researched. These assure that the West German military can effectively combat the chemical warfare propounded by Austria and East Germany. Motivation and performance within the military grows as a result.

Obnobs - Republic of the Nordic Communes

-ComRADE is established with West Germany.
-The RoNC comply by the demands of the SAE. As requested, all RoNC troops leave Ireland.
-A new military concept known as 'Black OP' warfare is introduced. Scopes, individually issued high explosives, portable radio equipment and weapons with silencer technology additions all become the recognized standard for RoNC forces.
-A portion of the armed forces positioned on the border with Russia are moved to the Danish border with East Germany.
-West Germany is ensured that their occupation of Switzerland has the full military backing of the RoNC.
-The straight that separates Jutland and the remainder of Scandinavia is blocked. All ships that wish to pass must first be checked for shipments of weapons. Ships that disobey the maneuver are shot at with order to sink.

Eat Children - Democratic Union of Russia

-The Department of Economic Motion (DoEM) is created to discover why the Russian Economy is failing and then find solutions. It begins with a large budget which is tripled by the year's end.
-Huge parcels of Siberian land are promised, free of charge, to those who can successfully 'tame' and exploit the tundra for means of industry & enterprise.
-Many aspiring industrialists head east to discover their fortunes. Resultantly, there are direct increases in Timber, Iron, Oil and Rare Metal yields as reserves are located beneath the Siberian forests.
-A Crude oil pipeline is constructed along the Trans-Siberian Railway. It begins at Novosibirsk and connects the mines of the east and the factories of the west.
-More factories are build, primarily in the Oil and metal production industries.
-Minimum wage is increased by 15%.
-Greece is declared an 'administrative zone' under Russian control. Greek politicians are allowed to govern their nation through the Russian parliament but they are not allowed into the Russian parliament. Taxes are lowered, direct military and economic assistance is given and work begins to rebuild the nation before they are fully incorporated.
-Hoping to profit from the rapidly liberalizing nature of the world, sex laws across the nation are heavily relaxed.
-A district in the center of Moscow is created named 'Sodom'. Two whole blocks dedicated to sex theaters, seedy hotels, poker halls, drug dens, Burlesque clubs and other crude shows. In the streets there are acrobats and other performers. Prostitution is legalised and taxed. Maple Syrup fountains flow freely as decorations.
-To enter Sodom, an expensive pass is required but this is mainly to keep locals out. Large discounts are offered to foreigners. Sodom quickly becomes popular and is higly successful in seperating horny fools and their money.
-The Tabulating Computer is invented.
-Work on the 'Moscow Underground' train network is continued. It is 75% finished now.
-A new carbonated soft drink is brewed. Renowned for it's sweet, pleasurable taste and low cost. Due to it's Cocaine contents, it is named Coca-Cola.
-Kazakhstan research into rocket engines and missile is found and exploited. It is quickly implemented into military use.
-The budget of the Armed Forces is doubled. The technological branch has it's individual budget quadrupled.
-The R73-SIR 'Standard Infantry Rifle' is introduced. Semi-Automatic Rifle known for it's simple and rudimentary design but also it's hardiness and accuracy.
-The R73-T is derived from the SIR. An anti-armor, bolt-action rifle, it fires large, steel core 13.2mm bullets that punch through the thick shell of a tank. Based on the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr.
-The R73-PM, Heavy Machine Gun is introduced, firing 7.62x54mm rounds.
-The modern 'Helicopter' structure is developed and implemented for military use. Two models of the new Helicopter design are introduced, both made from an alloy of Aluminium and Titanium:
-A single-rotor, Close-air support/Attack Helicopter, named the R73-HA. Carrying a crew of two (Driver, Radio operator) it is designed to fly low at high speeds and strike artillery and mechanized infantry with rocket fire.
-A double-rotor, Troop Transport/Evac Helicopter, named the R73-HB. Carrying a crew of three (Driver, Radio operator, Gunner) it much larger than the R73-HA class and serves to carry teams of men to the battlefield and evacuate the wounded.
-The battledress of the Russian infantry is re-imagined. It is nicknamed 'Bear Armor' by the troops. Light, water-resistant fibers are woven between two layers of cloth to create the new fabric of the uniform. Other inclusions are puttees, a gas mask and a Stahlhelm, steel helmet. All white during winter and standard khaki shades otherwise.
-Officer training is intensified heavily to increase military strength/performance
-25 tank and 25 Airplane/Helicopter production facilities are built.
-Russia and West Germany have become trade partners.
-Orders are given for regular patrol of the Kazakh steppes and for troops to be raw and unforgiving when dealing with rebels.

UrbanMachismo - People's Caliphate of United Islam

-An alliance is entered with China.
-Named the greatest engineering project of its time, Arabian and Chinese scientists work to develop Desalination plants capable of removing the irregularities of sea water and making it consumable. The Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean feed colossal networks of pipes that traverse the Caliphate. Further ambitions are to irrigate, fertilize and genetically alter the Saharan Desert into a replenished state from which crops can be drawn. It will be several more years before this can be achieved.
-Algeria and Nigeria are asked to join the Caliphate. The Caliphate noting that they will benefit greatly from the Saharan project. The two nations refuse, deploring the claims as insane and impossible to the hands of man. Only once they see results will they agree to join.
-Two pieces of artillery are produced: A 210mm Heavy Howitzer and a Rocket launching mechanism mounted onto a flatbed truck. Of a maximum 20 rockets it fires at 2 per second.
-The heavily financed 'railway' project is half successful. The 240mm beast of a cannon successfully attached to a railway line works, yet the mount requires further refinement. It will be ready next year.
-The remaining military projects you noted will also be ready next year.
-Oil and rare metal industries are invested into and the railway is expanded.
-Grants into the field of scientific education results in a more literate and aware populace. However, this leads more people to question Allah. Believe in a God drops below 98% for the first time in the Caliphate's history.
-A counter-espionage organization is established. They take great pride in the strength and security of their operations.
-Those discovered to be agents operating against the Caliphate are tried for treason and publicly executed. Hanging in urban areas, beheading, stoning and other means of mutilation in rural areas. A sickening display for a civilized nation.

Ruskie - China

-Typical Chinese procedure. The military is overhauled and the economy is engaged to expand into those sectors either with great promise and potential or at risk of becoming neglected.
-Those weapons noted in the 1872 turn begin regular service after replacing the previous models completely.
-The effort of mechanizing the armed force's supply lines continues into the second year. The Horse or Mule system of delivering necessary supplies is abandoned completely. Half-tracks capable of off road delivery are now tasked with handling the role.
-With large investment into education, 75% of the nation's citizens can now read and write. Those who cannot read or write either live away from the urban areas and maintain the peasant life of their ancestors or they belong to a culture that is hastily dying out.
-The newly formed Chinese police force happens on their first major issue. Impoverished Korean and Japanese are emigrating to China in their hundreds of thousands having preferred their own nations when they were under Chinese governance. They bring their criminal underlings with them. Consequently, crime rates witness a sharp rise.
-The Navy and Airforce receive many new toys to play with:
--7,500 Type (A-F/B)71 fighter aircraft.
--2,500 Type (A-S/B)71 heavy bomber aircraft.
--7 Type NS(AC)-72 Aircraft Carriers
--30 Type Ns(DN)-72 Battleships
--70 Type NS(SD)-72 Destroyers with a revolutionary inbuilt radar system.

Intoxicated Spy - Oceania

-Communist and Socialist ideologies are declared impure diseases and crimes against humanity that require swift eradication.
-Those accused of been Communists or Socialists are rounded up and executed alongside their sympathizers. There is no mercy by the government nor is there any major cry out by the Oceanic people.
-The mass of the collective armed forces bulges as recruitment is intensified.
-Phallic shaped Airships are designed. What sets them apart from the Airships of Russia and West Germany is the inclusion of a frontal cannon.
-The barrel and scope of the adopted Bolt-Action Rifle are improved providing better accuracy and service for the armed forces.
-A Tank is produced with 55mm armor and 100mm cannon. It is by far the slowest tank in service.

Ven Kaeo - Confederacy of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories (Happy Birthday)

-The name of the country is changed as displayed above.
-The invasion of the United States continues:
-Group designated 'Alpha' advances though Central Eastern America before becoming bogged down on the Appalachians. The cities of Memphis, Nashville, Baltimore and Washington DC are completely encircled. The besieged defenders, starved and forced to resort to using their own urine in manufacturing gunpowder, battle on. But by the fall of the year Canadian forces break through the trenches and DC is finally overrun. A flag of triumph is risen over the remains of the White House and the battalion that fought to the last man defending it. Following this, Memphis, Nashville, Baltimore all surrender. Atlanta is announced as the new capital.
-Group designated 'Beta' is stopped completely at the Mississippi with some of the most ferocious and desperate fighting witnessed in the war. All bridges are destroyed before they can be crossed. As Canadian forces attempt to cross, Steamers filled with explosives crash into the side of the Canadian ship before detonating. The river turns grey with soot.
-New Orleans is assaulted after the Canadian forces finally traverse the Bayou. It is like hitting a rotted wooden door with a siege ram and the city is quickly liberated.
-Group designated Delta has had the easiest task of the three Army groups. They smash through Florida, capturing Carolina and linking with Group Alpha as they do so.
-The loyalty of the Confederacy is called into question. They are asked for their support in dissolving the United States. Only Minnesota, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire assist. The others remain rigid regardless of the Canadian propaganda effort.
-Long range ballistic missiles are research. They receive extensive testing during the war.
-Nuclear reactors receive better shielding from the harmful effects of radiation.
-Work on the Bering Straight bridge continues with railways extended to meet it. Just one more year.
-A large counter-espionage organization is established. They are highly successful in discovering numerous spy cells within the country. They are quickly given show trials for treason and executed.

EVENTS OF 1874 – NPCs and MISC:

-The cur of Eastern France is awake. For a year, the 'Order of the Divine Star' have lived within the shadows. Responsible mainly to their obscure and silent beginnings, many French people had figured them to a cruel invention. One of hooded heretics and night prowlers. A particular form of myth exercised by parents to terrify their children into obedience. Such was their legendary status that once the Order began to dare work beyond the safety of night and expose their true bizarre character to society, the French people could not react. They became numb and disbelieving even as the religion asserted itself firmly within the nation. It was a revolution that they could not act to stop.
-Guarded compounds are constructed across France and Europe. During a period of fear, propaganda and oppression these holy places of worship offer warm beds, medicine and education and all they ask is your gratitude and devotion. The Order becomes unbelievably popular in the northern districts of France, offering hope and spiritual guidance to those still recovering from the RoNC's slash&burn tactics following their retreat during the First Great War.
-The political wing named 'Divinity' becomes the fastest growing party in France. With each vote, conversion and ritual, the Order's grasp on France tightens.
-Despite the best efforts of the Chinese Navy, piracy is continuing to plague the Atlantic, spreading to infect the World's waters like a disease. Everywhere the scourge arrives they infect the land with tyranny and slavery with men willing to leave only the grayed out husks of villages and small portal towns.
-Amongst the society of thieves and murderers a new fleet has appeared to stand supreme above all. It is an armada of Airships eighteen in total, linked by rope ladders and coarse iron walkways. With deep black fabrics and rusting metal features they make a terrifying, foreboding spectacle, descending from the clouds to devour settlements which considered themselves safe. The armada is christened 'Aethon after the Eagle who served to torment the Titan Prometheus, cutting into his belly to consume his Liver, only to repeat the action once the man had healed. The men of Aethon retell this myth through their vicious attacks on the innocent people of proud superpowers such as China, India, Russia and Oceania.
-It appears that even the worst individuals may contain some sense of decency with members of the Order of the Divine Star massacred as they attempt to integrate into the decadence of Pirate society. However there are some cases of success and soon, the lowly pirate vessel has become a vehicle for the Order to spread their influence.
-Despite the unflinching stance of the SAE in their dominance of Ireland, urban and woodland fighting persists and the rebellion effort in limps on for another year. But without secured funding from a global power, they will not last a third year.
-The frenzied insurgency from within central Asia continues to rock Russian, Indian and Chinese investment in the area. Centered on the mountainous landscape on which mechanized units cannot function, the tribesmen of the land have been very successful in their armed struggle. In one encountered they caused the death of eighty Indian soldiers in a single ambush where the infantry were enclosed within a tight mountain pass. In another case, they shot down a mighty Russian Airship as it patrolled the local airspace.
-To illustrate their strength and intent, the fighters have committed themselves to the title of 'United Mujahedeen'.
-Chinese efforts to win the 'Hearts and Minds' of the rebels have been somewhat unsuccessful. The Mujahedeen wish to make it clear that they will stand to be 'groomed' and taken under the wing any foreign superpower.
-As if to make a statement, two Chinese envoys are kidnapped ten miles outside of the walled city of Kandahar and paraded through the streets. When the exhausted Indian forces finally punch into the city and expel the militia, they can only release the mangled corpses from their chains from which they had hung over the city for the entirety of the battle.
-At long last, the construction of the Bering Strait Bridge is accomplished and is linked to the extensive railway connections that promises travel from Cape Horn to the Cape of the Good Hope in three weeks.
-As the final touches are completed, people of all nationalities arrive to celebrate the joining of the Old and the New Worlds. A nuclear Submarine and the flagship of the Canadian navy, oversees the celebrations ensuring that people understand that it was they who accomplished this feat of engineering.
-The island of Big Diomede now supports of a city of 3000 people seemingly built readily overnight with the facilities to rival those of New Sodom in Moscow. West and East Germans, SAE and Gran Colombians, Capitalists and Communists all discard their differences for one week of jovial drinking, gambling and regular whore fucking.
-It was going so well too, that a missile suddenly appeared in the sky, flying over the bridge and the city. Revelers could only stand and watch in horror as it then arches and hits the hull of the Canadian submarine, engulfing it in a mighty explosion and taking the lives of all hands on deck.

EVENTS OF 1874 - Players:

Ven Kaeo - Confederacy of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories

-Someone has enacted an extensive campaign against the Canadian Navy, engaging and destroying ships across the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Casualties taken are several Canadian submarines, destroyers and merchant ships each destroyed through a series of orchestrated strikes that began initially with the Bering Straight incident.
-While their navy may suffer, the infantry department of the Canadian armed forces has witnessed a major reform concerning equipment:
--A bolt-action Sniper Rifle with a new design of magazine in which the ammunition is contained within a box before insertion into the rifle.
--A medium range main-battle rifle. 15 round box magazine, semi-automatic.
--A medium to short range, automatic assault rifle. 30 round banana magazine.
--A tripod-mounted Heavy Machine Gun.
--An anti-material rifle that functions to pierce the steel shell of mechanized units and kill the operators within. With all early versions of this form of weapon it has the unfortunate tendency to terribly injure the rifleman with such an aggressive fire.
--CATS: Canadian Anti-Tank Shell.
--A high speed and moderately armored APCs and Infantry Fighting Vehicle capable of transporting 10 soldiers with a crew of 2, a driver and gunner (14.5x114mm Mounted machine gun). 8 wheel design, no tracks. Independent suspension for each wheel
--A high speed and moderately armored scout and recon tank designed to get behind enemy lines and relay information and disrupt supply lines.
--A moderate speed and heavily armored main battle tank designed for mainline combat sporting a 110mm main cannon and a 14.5x114mm mounted machine gun
--A low speed and very heavily armored mobile anti-tank gun designed to sit in the rear and pick off enemy tanks, artillery, and other armored targets
--A mobile rocket artillery platform based off of Arabian Katyusha design, built on a half-track flatbed truck designed to put as many explosives in the enemy's lines as possible.
-It is with the arrival of these weapons onto the battlefield that ensures that within this year Canada completes their conquest of the United States of America:
-Ground designated 'Beta' exploit their control of New Orleans to full effect as they rethink the crossing of the Mississippi. Rather than advancing eastwards into the sight of the American guns, the Canadian forces opt to assault the considerably weaker southern flank. The American defense cannot sufficiently slow this mechanized advance stabbing at their underbelly and soon they are in full retreat. The abandoned heavy guns, fixed to point only to the Mississippi are rendered useless by the change in tactics. Such was the ferocity of the Canadian attack, the defenders could not adapt swiftly enough.
-The Mississippi itself is in a sorry state. Ruined woodland and flattened towns follow the river on either side due to the barrage of artillery and heavy shelling. Millions of deceased fish gather to scar the landscape, the byproduct of a last ditch effort to dissuade attempted crossings by flooding the waterways with chemical pesticides and industrial slurry.
-Despite the breakthrough on the Eastern Front, it is the efforts of the men of Groups Alpha and Delta in the west that ultimately lead to the capture of Dixie. The city of Atlanta, third capital of the USA and last bastion of hope for her people, falls following a relentless siege that made full use of the army’s new missile technology. It is the news of Atlanta’s fall that provokes General Stonewall Jackson, Commander of the Defense, into calling his forces to lay down their arms in an absolute surrender.
-Now that the war is won, the rebuilding process must commence. This will not be an easy task. Many civilians emigrate to China or Russia with dreams of balance, wealth and stability. Those who do remain exist in conditions of chronic poverty and humiliation. Each mired street or blown out factory and shipping yard where bodies and knocked out tanks still lay; illustrate the ruined mess of the now, southern expanses of Canada. Industry, manufacturing, coal and oil have each ran dry and the single worthwhile commodity that remains in wide circulation amongst the former American people is guns. Lots and lots of guns.
-With each mile into Dixie that the Canadian forces achieved, the conquered land behind brewed with the sentiments of armed rebellion. Taking their family, bible and the clothes on their back, many have chosen to abandon the ruins of their former lives for the humble life of a militia.
-The mineral wealth of Alaska and the Northwestern Territories is invested. Acres of land across the width of Canada are cleared for the construction of an Oil and Natural Gas pipeline. A second pipeline is planned that would run along the eastern coast beginning at the Gulf. Both projects will take a further year to complete.
-Experiment dry cell batteries and nuclear reactors are placed on submarines and Dreadnoughts. Shame.
-A rocket is developed that is exhibited as capable to leaving the Earth’s atmosphere and entering low orbit. Though early signs were indeed promising, there are red faces across the nation as the rocket burns up shortly into flight, slamming into the heart of the Hudson Bay and sinking below the icy surface.

Ruskie - China

-The release of Korea and Japan is seen as a mistake. China returns to their previous position on the two nations and absorbs them into the empire once more.
-Financial and physical aid is poured into both Korea and Japan to advance their domestic economies onto acceptable standards. The modernization effort begins.
-Portrayed as a home for immigrants, thousands of American refugees have landed in the east of nation hoping to escape the war and the budding insurgency. A large percentage of these workers are tasked with constructing the infrastructure required to support such a vast nation, primarily the railways. Unfortunately, race riots have gripped the nation with many Chinese accusing the American immigrants of stealing their jobs.
-In response to recent developments, policing is beefed up considerably with the state having declared war against the Korean and Japanese thugs through the use of secret police. In 120 years it will make a fine movie.
-A Chinese Red Cross is established with grand intentions of assisting the families displaced in the Canadian-American conflict.
-The individual budget for the Naval forces if tripled. This combined with the construction of shipyards and naval facilities ensure that China affirms its position as the supreme power in the Pacific.
-The staggering bulk of the collective Chinese armed forces has allowed for the development of new battle doctrine known as ‘Chinese Deep Battle’. The principle of the doctrine is to bluff and fool the enemy into making errors while striking them with overwhelming force. The nature of the Chinese military allows.
-A further 7,500 fighter aircraft and 2,500 heavy bomber aircraft brings the total order over two years, to 15,000 and 5,000 respectively.
-Desalination techniques co-developed with the People’s Caliphate are extended to reach into Chinese cities. Combined between the two nations- water from the Indian and Pacific Oceans now feed a quarter of a billion people.

UrbanMachismo - People's Caliphate of United Islam

-The battledress of the Caliphate’s infantry is modernized. Steel plates are used sparingly to defend the chest, abdomen and limbs while two layers of thick fabric cover the remainder of the body with an additional layer of a Carbon material to protect against radiation. Despite the use of steel and carbon, it remains somewhat lightweight and not restrictive of movement. However, the use of the uniform is excruciating within the desert environments that the Caliphate forces operate on. Men have been known to suddenly collapse and die while on patrol.
-The weapons that Canada developed this year are adopted within the Caliphate as per the CATS agreement.
-300 Katyusha Launcher models are produced.
-The mount of the Railway Artillery weapon is successfully engineered and a further two produced (a total of three), trials can now commence to test the weapon’s effectiveness and potential in combat.
-Now codenamed the ‘Eden Project’, the effort to irrigate and revitalize the Saharan Desert continues. Research and Development strategies are heavily subsidized by the government so that their absolute assistance is assured. A breakthrough is discovered under laboratory conditions. With the addition of a few meager nitrates and phosphates, a genetically manipulated plant has grown from a sample of North African sand. This development is extensively publicized to the world. One rather overexcited reporter announces that the craft of man and God are blurred.
-Hangings and Death by Firing Squad become the official methods of execution in the Caliphate. The use of any other method is ended.
-Islam is propounded as the ideal religion for those of ambition, chivalry, science and the quest for knowledge. Reflections are made on the Islamic Golden Age. While the Arabic world would pursuit science and free-thought, the men of Europe would allow themselves to stagnate within their fortresses squabbling over pathetic swathes of land and living beneath constant fear of the enemy.
-The laws of the land are relaxed to accommodate a steadily liberalizing people. Homosexual relationships are permitted.

Intoxicated Spy - Oceania

-War is declared against West Germany and her allies with the opening shot fired in Algeria. Entering the Mediterranean theatre through the Suez Canal, the invasion force makes landing near Algiers to the complete surprise of the defenders. After establishing a beachhead, the Oceanic forces use the coastal road to swiftly advance east and westwards, capturing the city of Algiers following a relentless naval bombardment.
-The Strait of Gibraltar is blockaded to West German and RoNC forces. An attempt is made to persuade Spain to attack Catalonia. Spain outright refuse and are not overly pleased with the Oceanic presence themselves.
-Italy and Catalonia have declared war on Oceania. Surrounded by nations loyal to West Germany, the Oceanic forces have struck the Hornet’s nest and are at risk of encirclement. The core weakness now in the Oceanic assault is maintaining and recovering supplies. They are relieved however, due to the extensive development into improving engine models, resulting in the Oceanic navy fielding some of the fastest merchant ships in the world.
-Uniform designs are purchased from Austria. Within Algeria, they pop their combat cherry, proving considerably successful as a deterrent to the chemical weaponry used in Algeria.
-The slaughter of those guilty of the crime of Socialism continues.

MountainWatcher - Portugal

-Spain is invaded after their government had dared stand firm against the notion of annexation. Ideals such as patriotism and honor do not stand for much when your military is so hopelessly outclassed and the nation collapses after four months. Not wishing to miss such an opportunity, the sly Catalonian forces pounce, capturing Valencia and the Balearic Islands within the final days of the war.
-Motorbikes are produced for civilian use. The number of fatalities directly caused by the introduction of motorbikes outweighs the number of Portuguese killed in the fall of Madrid.
-As they march, the Portuguese soldiers carry medical supplies for the poor Spaniards. Hospitals are constructed in each major formerly-Spanish city.
-French markets are invested into. Anti-Catholic sentimentalism has reached such highs that some flatly refuse to take the aid, in fear of Divine Star reprisal.
-Research on missile technology that can stand against the instruments of Canada and Russia, introduce ballistic missiles and Anti-mechanized rockets.

Eli45 - Gran Colombia

-The Semi-Automatic Rifle experiences banal improvements such as scope size, caliber and accuracy. The new model remains in prototype forms as refinements continue.
-The 55mm Auto-Loading cannon is completed and tweaked for use as the primary weapon on some Tanks.
-Soldiers positioned on the border are taken off high alert.
-Pornographic magazines for the leisurely gentleman-masturbator are mass produced. Soon, many of the world’s people can boast they have at least seen the front cover art of the penny pulp: A rather bored looking Canadian housewife with stockings looking longingly through an open window.
-A major infrastructure project is begun. Factories are constructed with a network of railway lines to connect them.
-A trade embargo is placed on West Germany. The Auto-loading technology is shipped to both East Germany and Austria. -Construction of the indefinite tallest building in the world begins.

[Seed Eater] - West Germany

-West Germany places faith in one of the more standard, trusted methods of defense. On their border they construct two big walls separating themselves and their adversaries. The frontal wall is 12 feet tall and 3 feet thick. Mainly of bare concrete, it is also reinforced with wire meshing. The secondary wall is where the armed forces are garrisoned with all the instruments required to wage a successful defensive war. The four mile hiatus between these two walls is pockmarked with landmines.
-Troops begin to gather on the western border with France. Morale is low amongst the men who believe it is dangerous to be this close to Eastern France. Rumors persist about soldiers who were ‘turned’, losing their minds and emptying a full magazine into their commanding officers before the firing the gun on themselves.
-Russia is placed on the spot. Should East Germany and Austria invade, could Russia be called upon to support West Germany? Russia is adamant that they will remain neutral but does not condone any expansionistic campaigns in Western Europe.
-Tunnel Boring Machines are invented.
-Production starts on a vast Railway Siege gun that would dwarf standard battle tanks in combat. It not only makes a terrifying spectacle for the enemy combatant, the gun is capable of firing shells with the volume of a car, piercing cement material nine meters thick. Production will be finalized next year.
-An attempt is made to begin a vehicle export industry with India. It fails due to the embargo imposed by Gran Colombia.
-War is declared against Oceania. A battalion of West German troops march into Italy to assist with the war effort there.

Mr. Face - East Germany

-The ‘Boelsen Kampfer II’ fighter plane is attained. Reaching maximum speeds of 234mph it claims the award of fastest aircraft and armed with a 50 caliber machine-gun, it is specifically effective in decimating targets with long, strafing runs.
-Three new destroyers are constructed and deployed alongside a number of corvettes.
-Three-way trade connections are opened between Gran Colombia, East Germany and Austria.
-Minimum wage is increased slightly.

KriegsMar1ne - United Central European Federation

-Auto-Loading technology is received from Gran Colombia.
-Hazmat uniforms are produced. They are sold to Oceania and prove to be very effective in combat.
-Reforms are made with the aim of improving healthcare in the nation.
-A minimum wage is instituted and matches that set by East Germany.
-Elections come and go. A new Prime Minister and governing cabinet are sworn in.
-Radio equipment is handed to the East German army.
-“Fuck West Germany.”

Stethor - South American Empire

-Large amounts of manpower and military equipment is shipped to Ireland to stem the uprising there and bulk up the nature of the occupation there. A colossal naval base is completed in Dublin to house the SAE navy. -The Irish rebels are branded filthy communist swine in cahoots with communist nations to do their bidding. Anti-communist propaganda is dispatched across the island to promote capitalist ideals and dissuade any further rebellious activity. This propaganda is repeated within the mainland also. -Sao Paulo is set to become a financial capital of the world as their independent stock exchange becomes the world’s most sophisticated. -A tour of the world is to begin for the Pope this year as he circumnavigates the Catholic nations and colonies of the world. Maybe Gran Colombia can show him their extensive porn collections.

asantos3 - India

-The Indian military asserts itself as a dominant force as numerous long-scale projects finally come to fruit:
--The GX-1, GX-2 AND GX-3 main battle Tanks are all thoroughly bettered in each conceivable aspect that an instrument of war may be improved. The maneuverability and capability of the GX-3 is reminiscent of an APC while retaining the Tank function and model. These developments will surely aid in putting down the Mujahedeen.
--Smoke and Incendiary grenades.
--Grenade launcher for the above.
--Semi-Automatic Pistol with improved accuracy and optional silencer technology.
--Working with Portugal, the Torres Rifle is improved for keeping the incredibly rapid rate of fire while improving accuracy and decreasing the recoil punch on the soldier.
--A regular medium bomber aircraft named the AMBX-1 and a torpedo bomber aircraft named the ATBX-1 respectively.
--A Helicopter similar in design to the modern Sikorsky R-4
-20 munitions factories, 10 tank factories, 10 aircraft factories and 10 shipyards are all constructed in a major investment into the military industry.
-The first Indian Aircraft Carrier ship is produced for service.
-More rigorous and intense training is required to become a member of the Elite police service or the Military Special forces. Borders in the north of the country are reinforced in direct response to developments there. Restoring peace within the country is recognized as a policy that must be achieved.
-The potential prime commercial and residential real estate is invested into. Many ‘planned cities’ have begun construction to relieve the major cities. The age of suburbia is upon us.
-The entertainment industry is invested into.
-The grand electricity project to supply each family with some form of electric power is continued but now with the inclusion of a television and a radio set also promised for each family.

Turn 40: 1875 (Part 1)

Dr.Strangelove - Ending 1080p

Music of 1875

Post link: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1160570&p=35803850&viewfull=1#post35803850

EVENTS OF 1875:

-Since their grand entrance onto the world stage, the nation of West Germany has lived constantly on the brink of outright war. War that would be provoked by sentiments of hatred and hostility, mutual between neighbors locked in a quagmire of escalation and espionage. A war of bitterness and brutality, fierce in nature, fueled by propaganda and orchestrated fear. There were no embassies or diplomats, no meetings or long talks to discuss a peaceful alternative. If their was a red phone that existed between West and East Germany there was certainly nobody at hand to answer the call. It is apparent, that all options that were available, were taken to ensure that it was inevitable that war would occur.
-It was no great shock then, when West Germany was plunged into a defensive battle against the collected invasion force of East Germany, Austria and a 200,000 man shipment from Gran Colombia. The Federation now aims for just one objection: the complete and utter annihilation of the West German nation and their ideals.
-In a spectacular demonstration for universal peace and understanding, numerous nations of the world have abandoned their personal inhibitions and conflicting ideals to develop and sign a treaty resolving any existing hostilities thus, bringing forth an era of economic and technological harmony. Additionally, should a nation under the jurisdiction of the treaty be attacked through foreign aggression, that signer would be defended to the utmost to protect their personal sovereignty.
-Initially propounded by Canada, the development of the Treaty was a lengthy and excruciating process not aided by the embarrassing and largely unprofessional arm-twisting that was required for the SAE and West German delegates to find an agreement on particular notions. Finally, following bonding sessions where both Karl Marx and the Pope were present pretending to be good pals, the two nations agreed put aside their differences and work together.
-The official title of the organization established by the Treaty goes as following: Federation of United Countries Keeping You Or Underlings From Aggression and Controlling Everyone'. Abbreviated: 'FUCKYOUFACE'.

-The signers of the Treaty and inaugural members of the Federation are: the Confederation of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories, the People's Caliphate of United Islam, West Germany, the South American Empire, the Republic of Nordic Communes and the Democratic Union of Russia.
-Resultantly, I regret to inform that the above 'Allied' nations are now at war with the 'Central Powers': East Germany, Austria and Gran Colombia.

-The armed forces of Oceania have suffered an embarrassing and expensive defeat in North Africa. Their slim chance of victory was one that rested entirely on the ability of their navy, which was put into question by the ability of the navy of the People's Caliphate of Islam. As the Oceanic ships attempted to traverse the Suez Canal, they were blown out of the water by the Caliphate forces, who continued to then rather coldly leave the survivors to sink and die in the water.
-With no ultimate objection or clear plans to reach that objection, the land that was captured on the coastal road by Oceania was hastily reclaimed and within the city of Algiers where the original attack was centered, the tired and starved Oceanic forces laid down their guns to surrender to the forces of West Germany and her allies. No relief effort is ever attempted and the defenders must now live in humiliation as prisoners of war, beneath the heel of the victorious party.
-Domestic reactions to the disastrous conclusion of their little adventure in Algeria are a humbling experience for the ruling government, the magnitude of their military's defeat having highlighted their ineptness and incompetence. Protests are a daily occurrence and seemingly, it is only the bulk of the floundering authority forces are holding the nation together.
-Not one to miss an opportunity to further demonstrate their iron-hold supremacy of Asia and claim another land mass for the empire in the process, China declares war on an Oceania weakened greatly following their defeat in the Maghreb. The Chinese naval forces assault the Philippines Islands and capture it with ease.
-Indian armed forces continue to stagnate within their besieged military positions inside the mountainous steppes. Lacking assistance and guidance from Central government, many of the most exposed bases in Afghanistan and Kashmir have been simply swept away by the a United Mujahideen who continue to grow in strength and dexterity with each passing day. Failures by the inept Indian military to contain the uprising are repeated within Russia.
-There are extensive reports that Pirates are working in the area wishing to exploit the chaos for own gain. One incident is especially heavily publicized. Not far from the border with the Caliphate, a luxury airship destined for China is intercepted en route. All of the passengers, including powerful Chinese industrialists, are brutally and cruelly put to the sword.
-Rebellion in Ireland persists and experiences a sort of resurgence despite the best efforts of the SAE to pounce upon the last remaining Rebel strongholds in the west of the island and extinguish what little flames of rebellion remain.
-Healing wounds are reopened in Dublin as the port of the city is struck by a team of crazed gunmen with reckless abandon. Exchanging small arms fire well into the night and the early dawn, the men are finally ran into a position from which they could not escape. The actions of the SAE combatants prove fruitless however, as the survivors had all chosen to take Cyanide rather than endure capture and interrogation.
-Piracy continues to plague the economies of even the World's most rigid superpowers, successfully entering the previously save waters of the Indian and Southern Oceans. It has become apparant that there is movement within the Pirate community. All of the smaller bands are been consumed to form a single mighty, autonomous conglomerate of Pirates. At their head is a Zulu warlord named Mnqobi, plus many of his followers. Due to this, a great majority of Pirate attacks are directed at the Portuguese colonial holdings.
-Despite the best efforts of the Canadian government to reach out to the former American people by rebuilding their Dixie nation and preserving their enjoyed social liberties i.e. the right to own and bear arms, these achieve little to sway public opinion. In their eyes Canada remains the aggressor, the oppressor and unlawful occupier. Thus, within the homes, the churches and the General Stores where silence and tight lips is assured, tales of rebellion are growing. Wild stories fabricated of militia communities exisitng within the untamed woodlands with instances of heroics and villainy that would make a nickel pulp novel blush. For post-war America, these stories of success allow sentiments to resonate, for an armed struggle and the perceived heroics that follow. Canada's job is easy now, but if these attitudes to an uprising or insurgency continue, then they will have a serious issue to tend to.
-Elections proceed across a French state warped by the radical nature of their transition. The Divinity Party, political wing of the Order of the Divine Star, has gathered immense support and claims victory through a thorough landslide. Proving that threatening your opposition and their voting body with slaughter should they not vote for your man, is a sure way to claim the ballot in your favour.
-As they consolidate their great triumph, a high ranking Divinity Party official is shot dead by an anguished Communist who wished to prove that the politician was not a mystical being but a simple Frenchman. Albeit a Frenchman with raving-mad psychopathic supporters who immediately stab and hack the Communist to death on the spot.
-France is plunged into civil war between the forces of the Order against those loyalists who appreciate not having to live beneath a Theocratic Oligarchy where only party officials can truly succeed. Order territory is centered on the eastern border with West Germany where the religion originated and continues to flourish.
-In the center of all this, Communists have risen to gain a foothold through the crazy. Success is achieved mainly in the far east along the border with Catalonia whose people do sympathize with the Rebels and are liable to smuggle in guns and hapless young volunteers willing to give their lives for the cause.

Bismarck's March to France

-On the first day of May, the people of West Germany wake to the noise of sirens, cries of terror and the deployment of their nation's defensive maneuvers prior to the unmistakable whistle of a missile piercing the skyline and striking a local factory, warehouse, shipyard or other unremarkable form of industry. Civilian casualties were not orchestrated but remain high. This is largely due to the large number of families that lived in squalor nearby the missile's intended target: West Germany's industrious heart.
-The opening barrage, initiated by East Germany, Gran Colombia and Austria was to assist their advance in two ways. Firstly, to collapse West Germany's economy and secondly, to discourage and unnerve the people by displaying their collective might, placing fear in the belly and the ending the fight before it had the chance to begin. Such a compact nation, there is not a single square-inch of land from which the dull thud and subsequent explosion could not be heard. Primary targets (mainly steelmills, munitions factories etc), at a minimum, were left badly scarred and disfigured. Most were left with their roofs blown clean off or raised completely. What quickly becomes a compelling image of the early days of the war is West German workers evacuating to the sound of a siren, to rush back into the factory when the bombing wave had concluded, traversing through what still worked and the mangled remains of what didn't, only to evacuate once more when the following bombing raid struck.
-The advance began in two waves, bringing upon the destruction and ferocity typically associated with 'blitzkrieg'. Using all of the available instruments to penetrate West Germany's weaker defenses before trapping the bulk of the army at the Rhine front.
-The aggressors may have ended the war within the remainder of the year, yet they did not consider West Germany's last-minute preemptive maneuvers. 40% of the troops initially positioned on the western border with the chaotic France, were moved to reinforce the northern border alongside the great Siege Gun that they had developed the previous year. East Germany's larger force, plus the pressure placed on them that they desperately required a quick win, reflect the outcome of the battle somewhat. East Germany advances but fighting is sporadic and inconclusive and the battle rages on.
-Reasonable success is discovered on the Austrian front. Jovial scenes are reported where Austrian soldiers easily raze the border wall that separated the two foes, only to find the wall completely undefended. Moods quickly darken when Austria discovers the wall was a ruse and that the true defense consisted of a four-mile minefield before a second defensive wall, this one pockmarked with machine gun nests and angry, shouty Communists. Austrian infantry losses are heavy and needless and with progress ceasing completely at times, no breakthrough is ever found. The war on the south-east border is the confused and costly mess that it had always promised to be.
-Gran Colombia's input on the war proceeds as was planned. They fight and kill alongside their East German allies. They fight and die alongside their East German allies.

The East German conquest of the Netherlands and the Wallonian response

-The Netherlands, having never truly recovered from the wars of past, are swept away by the present war. The particularly lucky East German battalion responsible for the attack, having been handed such an easy and rational task during this turbulent year, march into the Netherlands whose laughably primitive army simply cannot respond to the speed and co-ordination and the East German assault. East Germany is fast to assert absolute authority on the nation, implementing it as a manner of forging another front and stretching West Germany's already confined military.
-The Wallonian government is quick to react to the invasion and it is in their final act, they renounce themselves and their country, allowing for the annexation to be absorbed into West Germany who wish to counter East Germany's conquering. Wallonia, with their physical industry untouched by the war, and with entry into the Atlantic Ocean, quickly becomes a hub for the West German war effort who are sure to bolster the newly claimed land.

The defeat of the East German Baltic fleet in the Kattegat

-The reasons for why East Germany wished to enter the North Sea are obvious. To establish a blockade against West Germany in this manner, by ceasing all the exterior assistance they were receiving from their allies would surely bleed them dry. To achieve this blockade would require continuous monitoring of the Baltic and North Sea. What they had not bargained on was that the troops of the RoNC, testament to their paranoia, had direct orders to target and light up on any ship carrying arms, which did not hail from a Communist nation.
-What commences is a grueling battle to ultimately achieve supremacy over the Jutland peninsula and the Baltic waters. Though the military ability of East Germany far surpasses the capability of the RoNC's military on paper, it is in with the factor of manpower that RoNC may claw out a victory against their southern adversaries. While East Germany has focused much of their forces on aggression against West Germany, RoNC has spent numerous years concentrating men on their own Danish borders. Consequently, when East Germany's Baltic fleet is patrolling the Baltic and attempting to link with their forces in the North Sea, they are bombarded, chased into the Kattegat and soundly forced to surrender.
