Talk:Pandemic: Plague Z (Map Game)/@comment-26031225-20170204183653

Republic of Cuba

 * Goverment: Protect Cuba from the zombies and stuff blah blah memorable Castro speech blah blah create Caribbean Union blah blah shoot down everything blah blah (rushed this section).
 * Plague Z:
 * Isolation policies: No one can get in or out. All airports and ports are shut down because of this, except for trading with a few countries. Trade with CDC members, the ZPL and some pacific islands is not stopped. However they are almost entirely based on food, tobacco and oil, and all imports from the UK and Australia are stored in Juventud Island to be analyzed and inspected since these two countries are more prone to infection than the others. As for the tourist issue, they are all given the status of "permanent residents" and forced to find a job in order to serve their new Motherland. They are not allowed to leave either.
 * Safe Water: Because of the Mediterranean Sea becoming contaminated with Plague Z, Castro becomes very paranoid and he inmediately begins a water treatment program, basically copying UK's plan and hopefully their technology as well because we are probably too poor to do that ourselves. The other alternative is bottled water which is being funded through the water industry to provide cubans with enough bottled water in case of emergency.
 * Operation Toreador: The civilian population is being trained on self-defence (gun use included) and survival measures so they know how to defend themselves if zombies end up reaching Cuba, with simulations of zombie attacks being done on schools and work centers. With the disease posing a serious threat to mankind, this training becomes mandatory for everyone over the age of 16 (old people and people with disabilities or terminal diseases are exempt). Children also receive some insight at school, mostly through simulations of zombie attacks so they know how to hide or escape.
 * Worst case scenario preparatives: Underground shelters are being built in most major cities and Juventud island, plans for storing food on these are made. We speed up this project as we use our reserves to further fund it, we also analyze the possibility of building a wall in our cities, but since the chances of an invasion in the mainland is low, we decide to focus on defending our waters for now, but we will still make an action plan for this if it is required.
 * Operation Shoot 'Em Down: Cuban waters are heavely patrolled to watch out for any refugees boats and unidentified vessels, Castro implements a "shoot before asking" policy, similar to that of Madagascar. Regardless of where they come from or their purpose, all unidentified ships will be shoot down . The same goes for unidentified planes.
 * Military:
 * Cuban Revolutionary Army: Recruiting is stopped for now, and the priority for the land forces is to build more tanks and artillery pieces. Military factories are being built because of this. The Cuban Revolutionary Army consists of;
 * 350,000 active personnel (+10,000)
 * 100 tanks (+9)
 * 1,900 armored fighthing vehicles (+0)
 * 115 self-propelled guns (+0)
 * 280 towed artillery (+15)
 * 110 multiple-launch rocket systems (+5)
 * Cuban Revolutionary Air Force: Though it doesn't receives too much funding, the Air Force is also increased under Castro's administration. The Cuban Revolutionary Air Force consists of;
 * 25,000 Active Personnel (+0)
 * 55 Fighters/Interceptors (+3)
 * 40 Fixed-Wing Attack Aircraft (+0)
 * 30 Transport Aircraft (+6)
 * 26 Trainer Aircraft (+0)
 * 16 Helicopters (+1)
 * 20 Attack Helicopters (+5)
 * Cuban Revolutionary Navy: The Navy receives the most funding, since protecting our territorial waters is now a top priority, especially when the zombie infection spreads to mainland North America, we will recive boats with refugees that we will need to shoot down. But due to ships being expensive their production slow, Castro makes a new plan to produce a bunch of small patrol boats armed with machine guns and rocket launchers. Since they are cheap in comparision with bigger vessels we produce 15 of those this year. The CRN consists of;
 * 25,000 Active Personnel (+0)
 * 8 missile boats  (+1)
 * 2 Pauk class corvettes (+1)
 * 6 Rio Damuji class frigates (+1)
 * 8 Delfín class midget submarines (+2)
 * 4 intelligence collection vessels (+0)
 * 12 minesweepers (+3)
 * 16 coastal defence craft (+1)
 * 15 patrol boats (+15)
 * Operations:
 * Operation Rode: We inmediately declare support for the rebels in the Dutch Caribbean because we believe in self-determination. We donate weapons and military equipment, and send a couple tons of food. Our navy is also sent to their waters to protect it from incoming Dutch vessels (if any, cuz they are getting shrekt by zombies).
 * Operation Bolt: We continue to influence Jamaica, and we focus on trying to alter their decision about creating the Caribbean Union by massively posting propaganda in favor of Caribbean unity and by bribing goverment officials into accepting the union.
 * Operation Z: We officially begin the construction of research labs in the british territory of Tristan da Cunha, they will be finished by June. There are two laboratories; L1 will be only used for research purposes, scientists will experiment with virus samples on it to try and find a cure. The second lab (L2) will be used for human experiments, since a cure can not be confirmed as effective unless it is tested on humans. Both labs will use extreme biohazard preventive measures since Plauge Z is a biosafety level 4 virus. Our best scientist are sent to the laboratories, expecting to retrieve the samples of Plague Z from Russia by late June (under extreme precautions of course).
 * Economy: The economy is still focusing on farming, fishing and oil. We keep producing more and more food and as stated before multiple times much of it is being stored in underground apocalypse shelters since we plan to use these as last resource if the diseasw ends up reaching the island. Oil extraction is also increased since we need it to power our military. Adittionally, synthentic food is being produced to have as much food available as possible. The unemployment rate is now 0.2% because we keep tracking down unemployed people to enroll them as farmers and fishers.
 * Vassals & Puppets:
 * Bahamas: Tony Tormenta becomes president after a successfull coup to overthrow the old goverment lead by Perry Christie. He inmediately locks down the whole country, closing airports and banning everyone from entering or leaving, tourists included. Bahamas ends up joining the CDC and lifting the travel and trade ban with its members. Tormenta also funds the fishing industry and it becomes the primary economic activity now that fishing is gone. Bahamas also agrees to form the Caribbean Union with Cuba.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Mainland Europe (except Iberia and Russia): kys
 * Africa (except Madagascar and USIO): kys
 * India and Pakistan: kys
 * Brazil: kys
 * Indonesia and Philippines: kys
 * Syria, Iraq and Kurdistan: kys
 * CDC members & (former) Dutch Caribbean: We think that it's time to take our alliance one step further. We propose to unite into the Caribbean Union, every country would have autonomy and its own regional goverment so it would work like a federation. This union would make us stronger, military and economically speaking, and with the zombie plague thing going on that's something that would be good to do. They should accept because I've been heavely influencing Jamaica for a bunch of turns and Dominican Republic has been my ally since turn one, plus they wouldn't have annexed Haiti without my help. I helped Dutch Caribbean gain independence and Trinidad gained protection from another foreign invasion since I invited them to the CDC.
 * (former) Dutch Caribbean: We help the young nation with military equipment and food. We also try to bribe goverment officials to accept joining the CU.
 * UK: danke
 * Russia: They are accepted into ZPL.
