Joining

 * 1) World Powers are for experienced players.
 * 2) When joining, state the name of your country followed by the phrase "letmejoin". For example, if you want to play as Sudan, you should say "Sudan letmejoin".

War

 * 1) You cannot declare war indefinitely. You must first send an ultimatum. If you do not do this, your war will be unjustified and your forces will be in unlawful territory. It is likely that this results in a coalition against your nation or a warning from the staff. (REDACTED)
 * 2) When at war with another player-led nation, play fairly. The war will be determined by three factors: The nation's number on the Strength Index; the nation's technology; the nation's strategy of attack.
 * 3) OP technology and nukes are not allowed. Technology will get better over time, and it is your job to utilize this technology to your own advantage.

Diplomacy

 * 1) Peace Treaties are to be agreed upon and signed. If a country requests peace and you accept, then a peace treaty is decided upon by both nations. If one nation unconditionally surrenders, the other nation may decide the peace treaty along staff guidelines.

Behaviour

 * 1) If a player is disturbing you, report it to a member of staff. Do not start an argument with the player.
 * 2) If you have a territorial dispute with a player, do not start an argument in the comments. Settle it properly with a treaty.
 * 3) All complaints must be submitted to a member of staff's talk page.
 * 4) Inappropriate behaviour will result in a warning.
 * 5) 3 warnings will result in a kick (you will no longer be able to play your current nation and you will be banned for one turn).
 * 6) Continued annoyance and inappropriate behaviour will result in a ban from the game. The ban will vary with the offence.

Mod Events

 * The 2016 European Football Championship is hosted by France between 10th June–10th July 2016. This year, the tournament is expanded in size from 16 to 24 teams, following a plan unanimously agreed by senior officials of all 53 UEFA member nations. The format of the final tournament consists of six groups of four teams, followed by a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The top two from each group will qualify in addition to the four best third-ranked sides, the same system as was applied in the World Cups from 1986 to 1994. This format generates a total of 51 games, compared with 31 prior to 2016, played over a period of 29 days.
 * A new method of IVF which involves the creation of babies with three parents has been introduced in the UK.* The controversial technique uses DNA from parents and combines it with healthy mitochondria from a female donor. This can prevent a rare, potentially fatal disease occurring that would normally cause a severe lack of energy, muscle weakness and in some cases heart failure. Although the baby has genetic material from three people, regulations state that for legal purposes it has two and the donor remains anonymous. A number of ethical concerns are raised by this landmark in IVF, but the treatment is shown to be safe. More advanced techniques will emerge in the decades ahead, leading to "designer babies" for the wealthy.
 * i5K is a five year project to sequence the genomes of 5000 insect and related arthropod species.* It aims to identify the vulnerable regions of insect DNA, which could then be targeted with pesticides and other treatments. This could reduce the $50 billion spent globally each year to control the many diseases transmitted by insects. It could also aid the search for suitable compounds for use as pesticides: ones that kill a targeted pest, but leave the beneficial pollinating insects unharmed. This may help in reversing colony collapse disorder, for example, which has ravaged bee populations for decades. On current trends, honeybees had been expected to go extinct by 2035 – potentially resulting in global famine.* The project could also be useful in combatting malaria, one of the world's most common infectious diseases and responsible for 2.2% of all deaths globally. The costs of genome sequencing have fallen exponentially in recent years – making it feasible to cheaply sequence huge numbers of animals and plants.

Player Turns
Arab Republic Of Egypt:
 * Government:
 * The government seeks to protect it's interests ferociously, hoping to subjugate it's rivals and finding a place on the African stage, its top priority is Sudan, seeing it as a top threat due to the Hala'ib Triangle dispute, it also sees Libya as a potential threat if it emerges from it's civil war with a nationalistic of possibly fiercely Islamic government hoping to spread it's ideals across the border. Egypt hopes to press the Hala'ib dispute with another pressure to force Sudan to give up the land. Alas, after no sign of Sudan breaking, an ultimatum is sent (Ultimatum demands later). It also presses claims on Libya, seeing the civil war as a prime time to bend the country to it's will. Egypt, with it's hot climate making it susceptible to insect transmitted diseases, tries to help fund the research toward sequencing insect related diseases' genomes and toward insecticides.
 * Analytics
 * A new law is imposed regarding the Suez canal, with Egypt having a much bigger say in transport authority, nations that have particularly sour relations with Egypt may be turned away from the Canal. Rumours of oil fields on the Sudanese border arise, making the government want an even bigger approach. Population begins to increase as family building is encouraged, and newly enacted work policies significantly reduce unemployment, army pensions for any kind of military service is also promised making the military benefit from the population boom, but this may affect the population in the long run. This military system is compared against Israel's in the news, and propaganda tells the population "Egypt rewards you in the Army even if you are peace loving, Israel forces you". Islam is still the dominant religion, but the government tries to let it hold little sway in politics and secularism is upheld.
 * Military
 * As mentioned above, the military increases due to promised army pensions and military enrollment encouragement. A strong navy to patrol the Suez entrance is planning to be built, and the air force is built and the military dream of winning a war without troops on the ground is portrayed as justification, though it is far from true with the air force currently. A small Egyptian contingent of 5000 troops is placed in the Hala'ib triangle, and, despite Egypt refusing to claim responsibility, eight Egyptian jets bomb suspected Islamic State hideouts in Libya.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Egypt proposes a guarantee of independence to Malta in exchange for the opening of ports and airfields to Egypt, it declares its recognition and full support for the the Republic Of Kosovo, and offers an ultimatum to Sudan. It also asks Chad for assistance if war is to break out.
 * The Ultimatum Reads:
 * 1. Sudan shall renounce all claims on the Hala'ib Triangle.
 * 2. The Sudanese government shall be fully open to Egyptian influence of events.
 * 3. Egypt will occupy the Northern Sudanese states of  Ash Shamaliya and Al Bahr Al Ahmar as a buffer zone.
 * 4. Sudan will cede the region of Gharb Darfur to Chad.
 * Failure to respond by 2nd January 2017 or Declining the ultimatum will result in a state of war being declared between the Arab Republic Of Egypt and Republic Of Sudan.

Croatia
 * Government/Politics: The president of Croatia is Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and the Prime minister is Tihomir Oreskovic.

A new centre is going to be built in Zagreb and it's a plan for ten years at least, the funding is small for now but there are plans and the land has been bought to build on.
 * Religion: The main religion in Croatia is Catholicism, then leading by Orthodox. There are small tensions between the Orthodox and Catholic but it is not outstanding for now.
 * Population: Right now there are 4.19 million people living in Croatia, and also there are ethnic minorities outside of Croatia in countries like Bosnia and Slovenia, the population growth is stable and it's increasing by 0.15% each year.

Croatia buys four jets from America. Military engineers start building six tanks. The military funding is increased by 10%.
 * Unemployment: The unemployment in Croatia is 15% of people, some people that are unemployed and have a good physical appearance(sporty) are called into the army for service and training.

Kingdom of Thailand:
 * Government
 * As Socialism comes to be greatly influenced in Thailand, the government leans slightly to the marks and laws of the ideology. Parts of socialism are adapted and put into major Thai policies and laws, greatly affecting the country's political standards. Thailand sees itself slowly shifting right, ditching most of its capitalist ideals for socialism. The Government's decisions is quickly praised by the people, they enjoy the idea that Thailand is swiftly shifting toward a "better system".


 * Military
 * Ground Army: Millions of Thai Bahts are put into the military, with more volunteers seeing the job as "romantic" to go and join the army. Others see it as an opportunity to make Thailand a great powerhouse in Asia. Military Bases pop up more often. A base operated and built on the island of Ko Sai becomes the largest Military Base in Thailand. 9000 Thai troops are stationed there to patrol the seas.
 * Air Force: The Royal Thai Air force in Thailand becomes one of the best in Asia, 30 Million Thai Bahts are spent on planes and Bombers in order to become a great Air force. 100 Thai Bombers are manufactured as well as 50 more helicopters and army transport/paratrooper planes each. The Air force practices it's strength by training in deserted areas. Practicing goes well, and they develop to become a strong and developed air force. 
 * Naval Force: The Royal Thai Navy is greatly improved, as stated before, Ko Sai Island becomes a Military operating base, normally for naval waters. 40 Million Thai Bahts are spent of storing strength to the Navy that wishes to become extremely powerful. Thailand manufactures at least five aircraft carriers, 20 destroyers and 40 transport ships, most are stored for the reserved army despite this fact. With excellent training, the Thai Army becomes the best in South East Asia.


 * Diplomacy:
 * Thailand begins seeking it's interests in different developed countries in far off regions. Thailand sends a request to Egypt and Persia, hoping to sign and form an alliance with the two countries, in order for our economy to grow greatly and increase in positive ways. Two large explosion is seen and heard on the Thai-Myanmar border, killing 63 Thai citizens. An Ultimatum is sent to Myanmar, stating that "If the nation of Myanmar does not kindly agree to send us an amount of money to fix the damage done and pay for the lost lives during the two explosions, Thailand will be forced to use its military strengths and efforts to wage war against the country of Myanmar." The Letter is sent four days after it's written. Thailand also encourages Vietnam to unify Indochina, Thailand and Vietnam both send an ultimatum to Cambodia and Laos to unify Indochina, or war will be declared.


 * Religion:
 * Buddhism remains the dominant religion, tough through Tourism, Christianity becomes a major religion with now about 5% of the Thai population being Christian related/declared. 86% still remain Buddhist, 8% Islam and 1% Sikh.

India
 * Government: Seeing the poverty in India the president decides it's time to change that. To solve the problems of the country India began importing modern agricultural equipment so it can feed its population better. Also, education is being improved and children are taught better English as they will need it in such an industrial country. Meanwhile, Indians are being influenced with propaganda to convince them into leaving Hinduism and become atheists. This is done because India will have an even larger population in the future and if they refuse to eat beef it will probably cause mass starvation later so it's seen as a necessary step by the Indian government.
 * Military: Although India already has a strong military but it decides to further modernize it just in case.
 * Conflicts:
 * Indian conquest of the Himalayas: India invades Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Although the terrain of Nepal and Bhutan causes India to lose 1.5 times more on that front than the two countries (due to terrain) but India manages to take them over in a few months due to the small size of the countries and India's strong military and larger manpower.
 * Indo-Bangladeshi war: In this war India has lower casualties than it's enemy due to Bangladesh not being mountainous and the Indian army is way more powerful than the Bangladeshi one. Bangladesh is taken over after a few months of fighting.
 * Economy: India has a huge GDP and a fast growing economy but the population is poor as there are so many people and giving even just the basic needs to so many people costs a lot. However, the rate of poverty is declining due to increasing foreign investment and tourism in the country.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Maldives: If they cede their lands to India the country will save them when the rising sea levels sink the island. If not it's okay but they can't expect any help from India then.

 * Government:
 * Political Party: The leader of the Law & Order party is assassinated so we have a immediate election. The Socialist-Imperialist party won. Their goal is the unite all East Slavs and Reclaim our long lost land.


 * Diplomacy:
 * Czechia: We ask them for a Unification, they would join as a 100% autonomous state, our goal is to unite all Slavs!
 * Slovakia: We ask them for a Unification, they would join as a 100% autonomous state, our goal is to unite all Slavs!
 * Serbia: We tell them we would support them if they were going to try and re-unite the Balkans and form Yugoslavia. We believe all Slavic Cultures should be friendly to each other.
 * Germany: We ask them for an NAP until 2025.
 * Russia: We ask for Alliance.
 * Lithuania: We are going to re-crate the PLC by force.

Islamic Republic of Iran
 * Government:
 * The politics of the country switch toward moderate Islamism, pan-Iranism, anti-west and militarism. The government funds with the money extracted from oil selling into more efficient oil obtainance methods such as fracking. The state begins preparations to turn it's healthcare and education into public and free, to promote better communication, railways and railroads are built across the country, reducing the unemployment (temporary) to a 4%.


 * Research:
 * As mentioned above, new techniques are investigated in order to increase oil production. Iran also has reserves of natural gas, but these are temporary put on hold. We ask China to provide us with materials and second class materials (Machines and such) in exchange for oil.


 * Analytics:
 * Education is made compulsory, but only around 70% of the children in the country actively assist to school even with that law. The solution may lay in providing a better educative system and better communications. Plans are made to make an university in Teheran and then in other big cities.


 * Military:
 * Iran continues to mass up its armies. Using the current military resources from the country, we build up 20 tanks and ten war planes. Industry is heading toward air superiority toward the enemy. We ask Russia and China for plans or either constructed planes of their models Suk-Hoi S-35 and Chinese high technology planes, yet again offering oil in exchange. Iran's fleet is really inefficient, that considered in the renewal of the air force. The land power is considered great. The project to build a nuclear bomb is paralyzed, but in secret we ask Pakistan to assist us to build a bomb in secret.

Prices of the Iranian oil are multiplied by 1.5 toward Western Countries (Europe and the United States). They remain the same for other nations. The Western demand of oil forces them to keep buying Iranian oil as there is no other way to obtain it in a short-scale. We threat the west that if they take action, Iran will close the Hormus Strait, that would mean freezing 70% of oil trade worldwide.
 * Diplomacy

Czechia


 * Government: New party election is held in Czechia. There is a new party that people can vote for: Bohemian Monarchist Party- BMP. This party promises to "Make Bohemia Great Again.".

 * Army: There is newly compulsory military service. All men from age 25-45 have to pass military service, so if anyone declares a war on Czechia, men must be prepared to defend their nation. Right now, about four million people fit service, 25,000 in active personnel and about 50,000 reserves. We have about 150 tanks, 80 helicopters and 120 aircraft.

 * Britain: We also send our diplomats to improve our relations.
 * Russia: Relations are also improved, we ask them for an alliance.

People's Republic of China
 * Government: The government remains the same, restricting freedoms and controlling the population.
 * Politics: The One Child Policy is replaced with a Two Child Policy, which means children will be able to support their families properly. Police are given more power, and the line between the Police and the Military is blurred. China also invests heavily in security and spy agencies.
 * Research: China is the home to thousands of technological advances every year.
 * Supercomputer: In 2013, China's Tianhe-2 became the fastest supercomputer in the world, achieving 33.8 petaflops, with a peak performance of 54.9 petaflops. It was nearly twice as powerful as its nearest competitor, the "Titan" machine at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, United States. In 2016, Tianhe-2 received an extra 45 petaflops, thanks to a novel system architecture developed within China. The machine was renamed Tianhe-2A and became the first supercomputer to demonstrate a peak performance of 100 petaflops, or 100 quadrillion floating point operations per second. Alongside this upgraded version was a second machine, known as Shenwei-x. This too was capable of 100 petaflops.
 * Telescope: The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a major new astronomical observatory built in Guizhou province, southwest China. Constructed between March 2011 and September 2016,* it becomes the largest single-aperture telescope in the world, half a kilometre wide and featuring a collecting area of 2.1 million sq ft (196,000 sq m). This dwarfs the next largest – the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico – which had held the title since 1963.* The dish itself sits within a natural depression and is unable to move, due to its enormous size. However, the surface shape is changeable and the feed cabin (where radio waves are focused) can be moved around. This provides a viewing angle of up to 40° from the vertical. FAST is able to gaze three times further into space and survey the skies ten times faster than Arecibo. Its primary roles include mapping the neutral hydrogen within the Milky Way at very high resolution, tripling the number of known pulsars from 2000 to 6000, and listening for possible signals from alien civilisations at distances of up to 1000 light years; far more stars can be monitored than in previous surveys. FAST is the latest in a whole series of massive new telescopes being built around the world in the early 21st century, heralding a new era of astronomy.
 * Environmental Clean-up - Phase One is complete: The Chinese government in 2011 began an ambitious Five Year Plan to stem the flow of pollutants and clean up the damage done.* A tax was applied to heavy polluters, based on the output of hazardous chemicals and sewage. The goal was to fix the situation caused by the previously unregulated industrial growth, which had first attracted the polluters to the country. The resultant revenue primarily went toward restoring damaged environments. Many non-profit groups aided in the clean-up during this time. New regulations were also introduced, putting a cap on energy use. Targets were set to lower carbon emissions significantly. This went along with China's long term goal of green energy dominance. Though some progress has been made over this five year period, the entrenchment of dirty industry and the explosive growth of the country makes it very difficult to turn the environmental situation around. It will take decades of further work before China has transitioned to a truly green economy.
 * Analytics:
 * Economy: China's socialist market economy is the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP, and the world's largest economy by purchasing power parity according to the IMF, although China's National Bureau of Statistics rejects this claim. Until 2015 China was the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over 30 years. Due to historical and political facts of China's developing economy, China's public sector accounts for a bigger share of the national economy than the burgeoning private sector.
 * Population: As of 1st January 2016, the population of China was estimated to be 1,375,137,837 people. This is an increase of 0.53% (7,317,837 people) compared to population of 1,367,820,000 the year before. In 2015 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by 7,276,802. Due to external migration, the population increased by 41,035. The sex ratio of the total population was 1.051 (1051 males per 1000 females) which is higher than global sex ratio.
 * Culture: China is an extremely large country, and the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity. More than one billion people live in China, according to the Asia Society, representing 56 ethnic minority groups. The largest group is the Han Chinese, with about 900 million people. Other groups include the Tibetans, the Mongols, the Manchus, the Naxi, and the Hezhen, which is smallest group, with fewer than 2000 people.
 * Religion: 85% of Chinese people have religious beliefs or had some religious practices and only 15% of them are real atheists. (The real atheists here refer to those who do not have faith in any religions nor had any activities related to religions or folk customs.) 185 million people believe in Buddhism and 33 million have faith in Christianity and believes in the existence of God. Only 12 million people are Taoists, although more than one hundred million have taken part in Taoism activities before. Thus, it is obvious that the Buddhism has the widest influence. The other major religions are Taoism, Confucianism, Islam and Christianity.
 * Education: Education in China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years, known as the nine-year compulsory education, which the government funds. It includes six years of primary education, starting at age six or seven, and three years of junior secondary education (middle school) for ages 12 to 15. Some provinces may have five years of primary school but four years for middle school. After middle school, there are three years of high school, which then completes the secondary education. The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school and an 80 percent rate for both primary and middle schools.
 * Infrastructure: Infrastructure development remains a top priority for China’s government, which has long recognized that a modern economy runs on reliable roads and rails, electricity, and telecommunications. From the late 1990s to 2005, 100 million Chinese benefited from power and telecommunications upgrades. Between 2001 and 2004, investment in rural roads grew by a massive 51 percent annually. And in recent years, the government has used substantial infrastructure spending to hedge against flagging economic growth. China’s leadership has charted equally ambitious plans for the future. Its goal is to bring the entire nation’s urban infrastructure up to the level of infrastructure in a middle-income country, while using increasingly efficient transport logistics to tie the country together. What follows is a by-the-numbers portrait of this dynamic sector. The Public Transport system in particular has been improved this year, with thousands of additonal buses and a new revision of the bus system.
 * Chinese People's Liberation Army: All aspects are improved.
 * People's Liberation Army Ground Force: The PLAGF has a strength of two million personnel making it the largest standing army in the world. In addition, the People's Liberation Army Ground Force has an estimated 400,000 strong reserve force. It has 9000 main battle tanks, 1500 light tanks, 1500 infantry fighting vehicles, 4000 armoured personnel carriers, 7000 towed artillery, 2000 self-propelled artillery, 2000 rocket artillery, and 2000 SAM systems. The PLAGF is regularly supported by the People's Armed Police and the People's Liberation Army Militia, who act as reserve forces.
 * People's Liberation Army Navy: With a personnel strength of 255,000 servicemen and women, including 10,000 marines and 26,000 naval air force personnel, it is the second largest navy in the world in terms of tonnage,only behind the United States Navy, and has the largest number of major combatants of any navy. It boasts 500 ships and more than 800 aircraft.
 * People's Liberation Army Air Force: PLAAF has a strength of around 398,000 personnel and is the largest air force in Asia. With ongoing modernisation, all older aircraft types in service are quickly being phased out and emphasis being placed on developing modern 5th generation fighters to replace them. It boasts 3000 aircraft.
 * People's Armed Police: The PAP is estimated to have a total strength of 1.5 million, with over half its strength employed in its internal security units. They patrol borders and help sustain internal peace.
 * People's Liberation Army Militia: The militia's principal tasks are to assist in production, to undergo military training, and to defend China's frontiers in peacetime. In wartime, the militia will supply reserves for mobilization, provide logistical support to the PLA, and conduct guerrilla operations behind enemy lines. It is estimated to be six million strong.
 * War: Currently at peace.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Russia: Relations improve with Russia as the Shanghai Pact is created.
 * Iran: Relations improve with Russia as the Shanghai Pact is created.
 * Mongolia: The PRC performs a coup in the Mongolian government.
 * North Korea: Relations deteriorate as North Korea claims to have nuclear weapons, which are very dangerous.
 * India: Relations decrease, as China rejects India's proposal of joining the SP.
 * Pakistan: Relations increase, as China starts funding Pakistani development.
 * Thailand: China sees Thailand's expansion in Indochina and Myanmar as extremely aggressive. It also conflicts with the interests of the Shanghai Pact. Therefore, in support of Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar, China sends an ultimatum to Thailand. The ultimatum states that: they must not declare war on Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia for the next ten years; they must reduce their active armed forces to 200,000; they must not ally nations for the next three years. If this ultimatum is not agreed to by Saturday, January 28th 2016, then the People's Republic of China will declare war on the Kingdom of Thailand.
 * TL;DR: China invests in spy agencies and the police. The Police and the Military become one. China completes various projects. The population increases. The military is improved. The Shanghai Pact is created between the United Kingdom, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and China. Thailand is sent an ultimatum.

United Kingdom
 * Government (no political parties for now in description, but I'll keep the real ones for the first few years but I do have a plan to change that.)
 * Death of the Queen: After the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, just two days later, she dies of cancer. A huge funeral involving the royal family and many people were attended at the city of London, leaving Prince Charles becoming King Charles III (or so, I don't know). It led to further problems after her death, many Scots were demanding higher autonomy and even independence as a republic, making the current government struggling with this quite harder than ever, already they have resorted to keep their kingdom in power by granting Scotland with more autonomous rights. Now later a decision was made to transition to a republic, so that everyone can be simply "equal", outside of the region Greater London, all will be mostly autonomous in an act to stop rebellions but will still be subjected to rule at the region of Greater London.
 * Transition to Republic: The decision to transition into a republic will take five to six years to turn into a "true republic", devoid of Charles' rule. This is what the parliament (strangely) wanted, to simply usurp all power from the head of state and leave the current prime minister to become absolute ruler, with a (new) prime minister assigned to. The republic will give out autonomous rights to outside Greater London, leaving Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland with much autonomy (but enough to efficiently be managed by the centralised government), with the rest of England lesser as they are more comfortable under that rule than other countries of the (soon-not-to-be) United Kingdom. Although next year the death of Queen Elizabeth II will be saw as the national holiday at 23th April, if the republic is finally made, then they may kick that out to abolish the last bits of monarchism.
 * Provincial Reformation: Existing countries are reformed to "regions" now as a majority of the parliament, even the upper house had agreed. Borders remain the same and autonomy is given out as much, except England which has less autonomous rights than Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland has. The region of Greater London will also be created to become the central power of the capital once transitioned to a republic.
 * Military: Improves in overall and renamed its military whole as Britannian in the rise of reviving the old name and begins a transition to abolish the royal name altogether by next year but remained the same with the extra Britannian name.
 * Personnel / Britannian Armed Forces (BAF): As militarisation starts, the military encourages and posted propaganda to allow men to stand up and prepare defences. All reserves are demobilised and vigorously trained and pushed the actives to 332,000 in active and is expected to be increased by 400,000 by the end of the year.
 * Land Forces / Britannian Army (BA): Land forces are not a priority, but tanks and other equipment were made. By the end of the year, 430 tanks, 6100 AFVs, 100 SFGs, 140 artillery and 42 MLRSs are currently in the military. (Lazily used a website)
 * Navy Forces / Britannian Royal Fleet (BRF): Prioritised, Greater London's Thame River is about to undergo part changes to build up a military port in the east of London, but Belfast, Edinburgh, Bristol, Southampton, Liverpool and Cardiff have being prioritised to make a military port for commissioning ships. By the end of the year, two aircraft carriers, 17 frigates, ten destroyers, two corvettes, 19 submarines (and growing to make surprise attacks), 23 minesweepers and at least an estimated 35 transport ships (carries 1500 or so men each) in the military
 * Air Forces / Britannian Royal Air Force (BRAF): The air force is a second priority, after navy. Helicopters, jet fighters and bombers (usually stealth) are produced in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast as priority. By the end of the year, 110 fighters, an estimated amount of 80 bombers, 398 transport planes, 329 transport helicopters and 67 attack helicopters are in the military.
 * Research: Britain starts to research deeper into military and space as they have a goal to become the most powerful. Other technologies not part of the category is either researched at a low priority or acquired.
 * Economy: Begins to show signs of growth mostly in the region of Greater London as it is developed more than any other location. Exporting (despite resources almost ran out), industry, services and tourism is now prioritised as the highest. As England and Wales is becoming mostly urbanised, agriculture starts to decline. In GDP it goes from 42,000 USD (estimate) to 43,200 USD due to this.
 * Analytics
 * Education: Education system changes. Only one absolute department of education is now responsible of managing whole country's education and will match closer to England than other countries in Britain. Funding is raised and education cities are planned to be built and/or converted, mostly concentrated on Oxford, Cambridge and very few other towns outside of England or in England. School days are now rescheduled to now generally 8:00am to 6:00pm as ordered for primary and secondary schools.
 * Health: This sector has changed it's stance in governing health. Only one absolute department of health is now responsible of managing whole country's health.
 * Demographics
 * Culture: The English culture and other significant ones remain the same, however the profound idea of reviving Roman texts made by government could reform Britain into Britannia soon.
 * Religion: As more non-religious people are appearing, mostly in urban areas where Christianity is popular and Islam is growing thanks to immigration, Britain is seeing more discrimination of Muslims given to terrorism. Propaganda is now put into the country's media and press to stop criminalisation and promotes people to turn the country into a full irreligious country similar to Czech Republic as they declare "It's enough". 2016 survey shows that the United Kingdom's population now is 40.2% Christian (45.2% of the Christians are members of Church of England), 50.7% are irreligious, 5.1% are Muslim and the rest are others.
 * Population: By the end of the year, at least 65,336,540 people are living in Britain/United Kingdom. Projections say by 2050, population will start to slow down its growth to 75.4 million, but Britain has initially now set a plan to keep the fertility rate as high as 1.9 and aim to two by the end of 2016. There will be no child policy but considering that they want to get as much manpower as possible, they begin planning to change that projection to by 2050, reach 100 million.
 * Infrastructure/Region
 * Region of Greater London: The central power of government and military headquarters. It prioritises research, business and tourism as millions visit London every year annually recently. Population of Greater London is now 8.632 million and is expected to become a "megacity with a population of ten million" by 2030s or so as planned by government.
 * Region of England: De facto capital is London, despite Greater London itself is declared as a region. The region is autonomous but not as much compared to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It focuses on research and industry mostly.
 * Region of Scotland: Capital is Edinburgh. Economy and tourism is a priority here, although there are some industry facilities in major cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Is the most autonomous of all. In the other side, Matthew Nicolson (probably by now 20/21, wtf why am I doing this!!!) has started beginning a pursue as an ambition, taking the lead of Britain which takes him a decade or so to start off.
 * Region of Wales: Capital is Cardiff. Focuses on military industry now, and existing businesses would still exist but more factories are built here and is mostly autonomous.
 * Region of Northern Ireland: Capital is Belfast. Militarisation starts in the region as many British soldiers from helicopters have landed at Belfast as a resort to defence if Ireland declared war and invaded them. It's main priority in Belfast is military factories and building ships as London has.
 * Diplomacy
 * Republic of Ireland: In a struggle to reunite the Isles again since most of those Catholic Irish people broke away, they sent an ultimatum. It stands, if they accept to join United Kingdom (soon-not-to-be), they will be guaranteed huge autonomy and Northern Ireland will be ceded to them as autonomy. If refused or not responded by the end of the year, then it'll be forced by declaring war. Militarisation of Northern Ireland starts and navy is prepared on Wales and Isle of Man in case they invade.
 * Shanghai Pact: Joins after being invited by China.
 * Tl;Dr: The Queen dies, a transition to a republic is now passed by the parliament. Militarisation of Northern Ireland starts as they begin the reunification of the Isles and sent an ultimatum to Ireland.

The Russian Federation:
 * Government: Prime Minister Vladimir Putin decides to take complete control of the government and disposes the president in a bloodless coup. With no one in Russia to counter him, Putin begins creating a police state in Russia, cracking down on resentment toward the regime. Putin proclaims himself indefinite ruler of Russia during this "time of crisis" and abolishes the Russian legislative bodies, taking control over federal departments and becoming the sole leader of Russia. Under his rule, Putin begins turning Russia into an imperialistic state via propaganda, military parades, and daily patriotic speeches. Russia also begins sending non-Russians in its territory to the border regions. Many new laws are passed by Putin and his ministers as Russia begins a massive modernization program and other laws begin to limit Russian freedom.
 * Politics: On August 18, 2016, Putin declares all political parties illegal except for the Russian Party, which is the only party in the country, and Putin is its leader. It is mandated in law for all Russians over the age of 18 to join this party by 2019 or face punishment, and on December 31, the first party census, 53.95 million people have joined the party.
 * Military: Putin realizes that the safety of the Russian people cannot entirely trusted with himself, and promotes Valery Gerasimov to be leader of the military. To launch a military operation, Putin "needs" the consent of Gerasimov to begin it. A massive modernization program begins to make Russia's military the most powerful on the planet. A draft is mandated, and another 20,000 men are recruited this year. The new military budget is7$2.9 billion dollars, and is mostly directed toward new weapons development and a new navy.
 * Drugs: All recreational drugs are declared illegal, and there are drug tests every two months in most parts of Russia. Drugs are allowed for medical purposes in the country, however.
 * Healthcare: Putin decides to privatize all healthcare assets in the country, so Russia can focus more on development and the military. Numerous new companies are founded, and all begin trying to outdo the other. This competition begins a growth in the healthcare industry, and this year only 1291 Russians die of disease. Putin does set some guidelines, however. 5% of company profit must be sent to the Russian government. He also makes it so all people are given equal status in hospitals.
 * Population Control/Immigration: Putin begins encouraging population growth in the regions surrounding the Baltic and Black Seas. While abortion is legal, women are only allowed to abort once in their lifetime. The Russian population inside Russia grows by about 400,000 this year. Immigration from Russians fleeing eastern Ukraine, Muslim refuges crossing from the Caucasus and Europe, and just regular immigration give Russia a total growth of 1.3 million people, giving the nation a population of 147.3 million people. Putin begins allowing immigration into the nation, as grower temperatures have begun making parts of Siberia habitable
 * Unemployment: With 5.2% of Russians currently unemployed, Putin decides to make it mandatory to have a job. He also offers a job to all those not with one currently: joining the military or government labor force. All Russians must have jobs by 2018 or face punishment. On December 31, a census shows that Russian unemployment is now 3.9%.
 * Research: Putin orders top Russian scientists to begin working on numerous new projects to benefit Russia for years to come. The first thing Putin wants is a new land army. A design is created for the new T-16 tank, and it has room for five people (one driver, one gunner, three transport) and has enough ammunition to shoot 28 shells and 5000 machine gun bursts. It has a defense against aerial attack, and this is done by a radar confusing burst from the top of the tank, confusing the missile lock-on. This only has a small success rate however. Next, Putin demands a new Russian infantry weapon. The IC-16 is designed in the early part of the year, and production begins at a massive rate. The gun has more accuracy than most current weapons (save for some British and Chinese weapons) and can fire 170 shots per minute. Finally, Putin wants to dominate the air. The only two planes deemed needed by the military are the new F-16 Fighter Jet and the C-16 Cargo Plane. Both are completed this year, and production started massively in early August. By December, the old military is modernized into these designs and a small surplus has grown. The new space program is created, and Russia has a mind set to begin a small moon colony (no permanent settlers, only small scientific visits) by 2019. The program has a government budget of 30 billion dollars, and this year about 300 government satellites and six man-controlled spacecraft have been sent into space by Russia. Russian WIFI is created, and by 2020 is expected to be over most of Russia's major cities, roads, and all of European Russia. By 2025 it will cover most of Russian territory. Designs are made for compact greenhouses that could be placed in Siberia, as Russian population is planned to increase massively in the next few decades.
 * Analytics: Russia begins a slope of positive growth in most sections as Putin's centralization of the government benefits the Russian military, economy, and people.
 * Economy: The economy of Russia begins to push itself back together as Putin increases Russian production and stops relying on imports. The GDP of Russia grows to $2,400,000,000,000 from $2,097,000,000,000 by $303 billion. Russia begins to cut down on imports and begins to mass produce its oil, weapons, wood and iron to become the most powerful economy in the world.

Malta
 * Events: Malta makes a request to join the Visegrad group.
 * Economy:
 * Military: N/A, as Malta currently doesn't have military but hopes to get support if they get accepted into the Visegrad
 * Health and medical Research: 1.5 billion
 * Business: Two billion
 * Schools and Housing: Three billion
 * They also Changed their flag.

Pakistan
 * Government: Due to the massive Chinese influence on the nation, Pakistan converts their government to a socialist state. Also religion begins to rapidly lose influence on the government.
 * Research: Pakistan offers a research agreement with the PRC. This is will open up Pakistani and Chinese scientists to each other's resources and minds.
 * Weapons: Scientists begin to focus on refining their vehicles from tanks to jets. A new tank and jet both begin to be refined and built. The tank is a MK1 Panther, it has very heavy armor that can even resist explosives. Its weaponry, however, is much more limited. The jet is the the MK1 Shard. It is a very quick fighter jet that can reach Mach 3.5 it is also equipped with four Air-to-Ground missiles and eight air -to-air lock-on missiles. Both projects will be done in three years.
 * Floating Cities: Engineers are put to designing floating cities that do not touch the ocean floor and actually float. This will cause these cities to be able to endure any floods or water rise. The platform will be heavily reinforced. Almost no weapon will cause it to sink short of massive bombs. The designing stages will be done next year.
 * Analytics:
 * Infrastructure: Cities are made much more efficient. Slums are tore down and replaced by real buildings which house the former inhabitants. This massive program will be complete in five years.
 * Education: Heavily funds education to get a very educated work force.
 * Population: The population continues to rise.

 * Air: The air force is improved. It has: 400 fighters, 500 bombers, 500 transports, 350 helicopters and 100 attack helicopters.
 * Naval: The Navy is improved, it has the following: one aircraft carrier, 15 frigates, three destroyers, ten corvettes and nine submarines.
 * War against Afghanistan: Pakistan declares war and using lightning warfare they surround the capital in two weeks. After the initial push the military slows down into more methodical advancement. A afghan breakout attempt from the capital fails due to Pakistani forces pinsering the attack and crushing the army.Jesbksnaeoinv.png

 * Farms: Farms are built in Major Cities to provide for the people. They will grow genetically modified food with special features to maximise yield of the crops, and then the food can be bought from a built-in marketplace below the farms.
 * Analytics:
 * Economy: The economy is privatised. Taxes are increased to provide for all government services
 * Infrastructure: Roads are improved around cities, to encourage people to move into them. The Slovakian Airline increases the fleet and all transport companies are nationalised by the government. The airport’s size is increased.
 * Religion: Slovakia is a secular nation, and the government uses propaganda and the media to make people support the government and increase the persecution of gypsies.
 * Education: The Education system is revamped, as Education itself is made compulsory. Private Schools are banned. The education program is made universal in all schools.
 * Population: The Government requires all families to have at least three children and if they can’t care for all of them to give them to the government through the adoption program.
 * Military: The military is revamped with new tech.
 * Ground: Tanks are improved with more resistant armour and better tracks. Trucks have reduced armour for increased speed and mobility. They have special sensors which allow for easy reconnaissance. Training is expanded to cover survival tactics and a better understanding of military knowledge and structure. People are forced to conscript, and so the reserve number goes up to 2.3 million. They will be trained, and eventually join the active personnel. The Active forces are currently at 13,500 personnel. All soldiers start being trained from birth by the government and brainwashed into supporting the government. Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems are increased to 20, the towed-artillery are increased to two and the MLRs to 20.
 * Air: The air force is improved. It now has 24 fighters, 24 fixed-wing attack aircraft, 48 transport aircraft, 20 trainer aircraft, 32 helicopters and two attack helicopters.
 * War: Currently at peace.
 * Diplomacy: Slovakia aims to improve relations with other countries in the Visegrad Group and for all nations in the Visegrad Group to have training exercises together once a month, with each month being in another of the countries part of the alliance.
 * Czech Republic: Slovakia wishes for a stronger alliance and for the militaries to train together at the Czech-Slovakian Border as well as assisting each other in any war (offensive and defensive)
 * Poland: Relations are improved between the two nations.
 * Ukraine: Slovakia asks for a peaceful settlement to Ruthenia and wishes Ruthenia to be returned to Slovakia as it was before the Munich Agreement of 1938.
 * Malta: We ask for a military base on your land as you are now part of the Visegrad Group. In return for the base we can help you there and if you agree we will start building a navy to help defend you

Mod Events

 * The Dream Chaser is a space plane being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems. Intended to carry up to seven astronauts, it provides low-cost, commercial transportation services to and from low Earth orbit, including the International Space Station (ISS). This vehicle, resembling a mini-Space Shuttle, launches vertically on an Atlas V rocket and can land horizontally on conventional runways. It is designed for simple maintenance and quick turnaround. An unmanned demonstration occurs in 2016, with manned operations beginning in 2017 – ending US dependence on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to provide an orbital taxi service.
 * In 2017, the European Space Agency (ESA) launches a new satellite to study exoplanets. Its focus of study is nearby star systems already known to host planets. The small Characterising Exoplanets Satellite, called Cheops, operates in a Sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 500 miles (800 km) and has a mission lifetime of around 3.5 years. It is powerful and precise enough to form accurate measurements of a planet's radius, as well as determining the likely density and internal structure.* The mission also provides unique targets for more detailed studies of atmospheres by the next generation of telescopes now being built, such as the ground-based European Extremely Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
 * Electric and hybrid trucks are now surpassing 100,000 in annual production numbers worldwide.* This includes hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, battery-electric and plug-in electric power take-off variations. Between 2011 and 2017, the overall truck market grew at roughly 4% per year. However, the market for hybrid and electric trucks grew almost 12 times as fast, at 47%. This was partly in response to oil and gas volatility, but was also due to significant technology improvements and, in particular, the falling price of batteries. The overall cost of hybrid and electric vehicles remains the largest barrier to full market proliferation, but this has improved markedly in recent years, with new battery technology that increases a vehicle's speed and range.* Progress has also been made in the time it takes to recharge, as well as the availability of electric charging points (now 7.7 million worldwide). Motors are also becoming available without the need for rare earth metals. The largest market for these trucks is still Asia Pacific, with around 41,000 being sold each year. Slowly catching up is North America, where the number is approaching 26,000. As oil prices increase, hybrid and electric trucks will eventually become more cost-effective than fossil fuel-driven ones. Technology in general continues to reshape the shipping industry. Manufacturers are looking into the possibility of driverless, fully automated vehicles, for example. The environmental benefits of going electric are potentially huge, as trucking makes up a significant portion of transport emissions, which cumulatively produce over 13% of the world's CO2 emissions.
 * In 2017, the next generation of microprocessor technology is released by Intel, with transistors using a ten nanometre (nm) manufacturing process – superseding the 14 nm process. Codenamed "Cannonlake", this family of processors is based on a die-shrink of Intel's Skylake CPU micro-architecture. More than ten billion transistors can now be packed onto a single chip – bringing greater CPU and GPU performance, and reduced power consumption for computers, phones, tablets and other electronic devices. Moore's Law will soon be hitting a wall, however, as the effects of quantum tunnelling begin to degrade chip performance at such tiny scales. Traditional silicon circuits will reach their limit in the early 2020s, with a new paradigm emerging in the form of graphene and other concepts.
 * More than 8.2 billion Internet-connected video devices are now installed worldwide, exceeding the population of the planet. This category includes a diverse range of products such as tablets, smart TVs, games consoles, smartphones, connected set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, laptops and PCs. With around 7.4 billion people it is equivalent to 1.1 devices for every global citizen, nearly double the number in 2013. The fastest growth has occurred in the Asia-Pacific region, driven largely by Chinese demand.
 * Electronic paper - this technology has been in development for over a decade and is now seeing widespread use. It works by combining organic, thin film transistors (TFT) with organic, electroluminescent displays. This produces flexible, paper-thin devices barely 0.3mm in thickness. Early applications included the first e-readers, but more sophisticated products have now emerged, some capable of running high-quality video. Ultra-thin smartphones, clothing and textiles with electronic displays, video ID cards, video leaflets, road signs that are self-illuminating, video instructions on food and other packaging – these are just some of the items to feature this technology. Further development leads to much greater contrast ratio – resembling printed paper more than a screen (the latter is hard to see in direct sunlight). This technology also marks a step toward the paperless office, which in turn will reduce deforestation.
 * HIV/AIDS was first characterised in 1983. By the early 2010s, the virus had killed over 35 million people globally and another 34 million were living with the infection. Although a cure remained elusive, anti-retroviral treatments were able to slow the progression of the disease and provide sufferers with a near-normal life expectancy. However, while anti-retroviral treatments reduced the risk of death, these medications were expensive and often associated with side effects. In 2012, a vaccine known as SAV001 – which had previous success in animal subjects – began Phase One human clinical trials in Canada. This randomised, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study used a ground-breaking technique involving a genetically modified, killed whole-virus vaccine. Prior to this, other experimental vaccines had either used subunits of the virus, or relied on genetically modified non-HIV viruses to carry an HIV-like genetic sequence. SAV001 was administered to infected men and women aged 18 to 50. Results from the trials showed that patients experienced no adverse effects – no local reactions from the injections, or any signs, symptoms, or reactions to any potential toxicities – while significantly boosting immunity. With proven safety and tolerability in humans, the experimental vaccine progressed to Phase II and Phase III trials, with similar success. By 2017, it is becoming commercially available.

Player Turns
Malta

Events and Diplomacy: Malta agrees to Slovakia's suggestion and Lets them build a base in the town of Delimara.

Crete: We see them as a independent Country, and hope to free them from their current owner

Sicily: We see them as a Independent Country, and hope to free them from their current owner

Military: Since a base has been build in Malta, Malta gets reinforced with 400 troops. Malta decides to create Two divisions: The First Maltian Assault Group, and The First Maltian Reconnaisse Group. They split the troops evenly between the Divisions. The First Assault is equipped with vz.58 Assault Rifles, The Grand Power K100 Pistol, and the standard Knife, While The First Recon is equipped with Dragunov Sniper rifles, The Grand Power K100, and Binoculars.

Besides that, everything is the same as last year, except the Military budget is now $700,000.

People's Republic of China (Federation of the East)
 * Government: The government takes huge steps toward civil rights and the people. Communism is branded as ineffective, but after decades of communist legislation and policies, it may take decades for this formerly red nation to transform. The unrecognised nation of Taiwan joins the newly reformed Federation of the East, as democracy and freedom is restored to the region.
 * Politics: The political atmosphere in the newly formed Federation of the East changes dramatically.
 * Freedom of Speech: Being one of the first issues the new government addresses, the people given more freedoms in what they can and cannot say, meaning that protests will be more common and more likely to be addressed.
 * Freedom of the press: The press will be released from the governmental grasp and privatised completely, since restrictions have been lifted, they start released classified documents regarding old communist leaders. This information continues to be released, and the government supports this.
 * Freedom of the internet: The Golden Shield is taken down, and internet users are greeted by a mostly anti-Chinese and anti-Communist global community. The Government warns them that this interaction with the outside world once again may affect the average citizen of the Federation, as they have been influenced over many years by the government, and are only now being released into the wild.
 * Freedom of movement: Previously, communist leaders had restrictions on migration, attempting and succeeding at funneling the population to the coastal regions. Now, the government lifts these, allowed people to migrate to the hills of West China once more.
 * Freedom of association: People are now given the right to join or form trade unions and political parties.
 * Freedom of religion: Religion is no longer discouraged, as pure Tibetan Buddhism heavily influences the Federation's politics.
 * Freedom of sexuality: People now have the right to marry whomever they choose, as long as the partner also wishes this.
 * Population control: Population control is lifted in rural areas, but it is very restricting in urban areas. the Federation encourages people to move out of cities and into the rural areas.
 * Capital punishment: It is abolished, and replaced with an extensive rehabilitation program.
 * Torture: Torture is outright banned, as it restricts human rights. However, organisations that work in co-ordination with the Federation are exempt from this law.
 * Research: Research continues, as the Federations ambitions grow stronger and brighter after every passing year.
 * Chang'e 5: Following the success of its first lunar lander in 2013, the Federation of the East attempts a more ambitious sample return mission, known as Chang'e 5. This is launched in 2017, obtaining about two kg (four lb) of moon rock, bringing it back to Earth for study. The robot deployed on the surface has a mission life of three months. It can choose its own routes, avoid obstacles and perform experiments with a mechanical arm. It comes equipped with a suite of sensors including cameras, X-ray and infrared spectrometers and a ground-penetrating radar. It has solar panels and a supplementary power source for night work in the form of a plutonium-238 nuclear battery – the same type of radioisotope thermo-electric generator system (RTG) installed on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory. The Federation has big plans beyond 2017. The nation intends to build its own space station by 2022, send humans to the Moon by 2025 and construct a lunar base shortly thereafter.
 * Electric / Hybrid Transport: This sector is key in the Eastern Transport sector, with East China being an extremely large market.
 * Analytics:
 * Economy: The Federation's free market economy is the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP. China has once again become the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates at 17%. Due to historical and political facts of the Federation's earlier developing economy, their public sector accounts for a bigger share of the national economy than the burgeoning private sector.
 * Education: Education is now run solely by the government, involving almost no companies at all. Education is made compulsory across the nation. Children are taught by nurturing and caring teachers. They are taught about respect, trust, openness, and empathy. The government aims that through this system, they will create a new generation of fulfilled adults.
 * Culture: The Federation is an extremely large country, and the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity. More than one billion people live in The Federation, according to the Asia Society, representing 56 ethnic minority groups. The largest group is the Han Chinese, with about 900 million people. Other groups include the Tibetans, the Mongols, the Manchus, the Naxi, and the Hezhen, which is smallest group, with fewer than 2000 people.
 * Population: As of 1st January 2017, the population of China was estimated to be 1,383,932,937 people. This is an increase of 0.53% (8,795,100 people) compared to population of 1,375,137,837 the year before. In 2016 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by 8,795,100. Due to external migration, the population increased by 73,035. The sex ratio of the total population was 1.049 (1049 males per 1000 females) which is higher than global sex ratio.
 * Religion: 85% of Eastern (Chinese) people have religious beliefs or had some religious practices and only 15% of them are real atheists. (The real atheists here refer to those who do not have faith in any religions nor had any activities related to religions or folk customs.) 185 million people believe in Buddhism and 33 million have faith in Christianity and believes in the existence of God. Only 12 million people are Taoists, although more than one hundred million have taken part in Taoism activities before. Thus, it is obvious that the Buddhism has the widest influence. The other major religions are Taoism, Confucianism, Islam and Christianity.
 * Infrastructure: A new bus system is added to major cities, involving massive train/bus/tram hybrids to ride along tracks that extend to the side of the road. The vehicle itself is elevated by the sides, allowing cars and vans to pass underneath. It was first introduced to Greater Guangzhou, and it has been extremely successful.
 * Greater Guangzhou: The Federation of the East has merged nine of its cities into one, creating the largest metropolitan area on the planet. This new megacity has a population of 42 million – over seven million greater than Tokyo, the previous record holder. The cities being merged include Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the second and third largest cities in the Federation with populations of 11.7 million and 8.9 million, respectively. This region covers much of the FE's manufacturing heartland, accounting for nearly a tenth of the Eastern economy. Around 150 major infrastructure projects have meshed the transport, energy, water and telecommunications networks of these nine cities together, at a cost of some two trillion yuan (304 billion USD). An express railway line connects the hub with nearby Hong Kong.
 * Eastern Liberation Army: All aspects continue to improve.
 * Eastern Liberation Army Ground Force: The ELAGF has a strength of two million personnel making it the largest standing army in the world. In addition, the Eastern Liberation Army Ground Force has an estimated 400,000 strong reserve force. It has 9500 main battle tanks, 1750 light tanks, 1750 infantry fighting vehicles, 4500 armoured personnel carriers, 7250 towed artillery, 2100 self-propelled artillery, 2150 rocket artillery, and 2200 SAM systems. The ELAGF is regularly supported by the Eastern Armed Police, Eastern Liberation Army Border Guard and the Eastern Liberation Army Militia, who act as reserve forces.
 * Eastern Liberation Army Navy: With a personnel strength of 275,000 servicemen and women, including 15,000 marines and 32,000 naval air force personnel, it is the second largest navy in the world in terms of tonnage,only behind the United States Navy, and has the largest number of major combatants of any navy. It boasts 515 ships and more than 900 aircraft.
 * Eastern Liberation Army Air Force: ELAAF has a strength of around 420,000 personnel and is the largest air force in Asia. With ongoing modernisation, all older aircraft types in service are quickly being phased out and emphasis being placed on developing modern 5th generation fighters to replace them. It boasts 3300 aircraft.
 * Eastern Armed Police: The EAP is estimated to have a total strength of 1.5 million, with over half its strength employed in its internal security units. They patrol towns and help sustain internal peace.
 * Eastern Liberation Army Militia: The militia's principal tasks are to assist in production, to undergo military training, and to defend the Federation's frontiers in peacetime. In wartime, the militia will supply reserves for mobilization, provide logistical support to the ELA, and conduct guerrilla operations behind enemy lines. It is estimated to be six million strong.
 * Eastern Liberation Army Border Guard: The Guard acts as a buffer between the Federation and aggressive nations, for example Vietnam and North Korea. They were created after the new government came into power.
 * Ongoing Conflicts: The Federation gets involved with many conflicts.
 * War for Thai Suppression: Through Myanmar, the Armed Forces assemble and attack Thailand. The advance quickly, taking kjey cities, and this year the advance as far as Phitsanulok.
 * War for Indochinese Dominance: Vietnam is attacked. Hanoi is immediately surrounded by the Armed Forces of the Federation. Occupation goes as far south as Nam Dinh.
 * War for the support of former Soviet nations: Thousands of Paratroopers land near Vilnius. A combined attack from Belarussian and the Federation's forces, with the Lithuanians flanking from the West, meant that the Capital was retaken. Polish forces are pushed back, as aid arrives in Lithuania. Belarus does not fair as well, as the Polish manage to break though their defences.
 * Diplomacy: The Federation starts becoming more aggressive diplomatically.
 * Myanmar: Relations improve with Myanmar as the Federations aids them in the war against Thailand.
 * India: India is warned to stop attacking innocent nations. The Federation increased border security wth the nation and aids Nepal with artillery and extra paramilitary forces.
 * Iran: As per their request, Iran is aided technology-wise. Relations improve.
 * Russia: Relations improve, as China helps with the problem in the Baltic region.
 * Pakistan: Pakistan is aided against the rising Islamic Extremists.
 * Poland: Poland is warned not to attack again, and that they must peace out become any further harm is done.
 * TL;DR: China reforms into a more democratic-socialist Federation of the East. Freedoms are given to the population, immigration increases, as wars break out with the Federation involved. The Poland crisis continues to escalate, as relations between the Shanghai Pact and the Central European Alliance are in a state of never-ending exponential decrease. Relations are generally improved.

Republic of Croatia: Bulgaria (Holy Bulgar Empire)
 * Government/Politics: The support changes by -5% making it 49% because of a new Nationalist faction called "United Right", they are patriotic but intend no fascist ideology, but the happiness of people is increased by 2%. The United Rights party has 23% of support and the rest of the percentage is other parties, media predicts that it will overtake the conservatives next election (in 2019).
 * Economy: The GDP now grows at a rate of 1.5% which changed by 0.3% from last year, this is because of a recovery from the recession the country had a few years ago. The GDP is now 50.6 billion. A company that has been started last year is about to start its sales, and the name of the car is Brza Vatra, it is a very modern car with newly developed mechanics and will probably becomes very popular in the Balkans.  The first factory (out of six) will be finished in six months and will be fully working next year.
 * Infrastructure: Currently 2500 new houses have been built around the country, mostly near the sea side and in the capital, the house company doesn't need any Government funding anymore since it is operating by itself by making loads of money monthly due to selling the 2500 houses. An architect has made a full plan of the new city close to Zagreb and it will be called Sumski-vuk, which will have an estimated population of 200,000 by 2028 when most of the city is built, it will be very touristy since many hotels will be built there and there an artificial lake next to it.
 * Population: The current population of Croatia is now 4.197 million, and the rate of growing population is now 0.20% each year.
 * Diplomacy: War is declared on Bosnia-Herzegovina since they didn't accept the ultimatum and Croatia is aiming to unite former Yugoslavian countries and recreate the name. Croatia also asks Slovenia to join Croatia, without any threats and no bribing of people, it up to them.
 * Military: The active military personnel is currently 95,000 and the reserve list has 19,000 people, people have been mobilised from the reserve list and some younger people want to join the army to fight against Bosnia for Croatia's Honour. 60,000 men are sent to invade Bosnia against their 22,000 men (Active and Reserve). 60 tanks are sent and also 42 Aircraft and 15 fleets into Bosnia, the military spending is put up for the soldiers morale and supply.
 * Unemployment: The unemployment in Croatia is currently 13.5% and it is falling due to new infrastructure companies looking for workers and engineers.
 * Government: The Government starts working on making the people not leave Bulgaria and to rise the GDP to at least 100 Billion by 2022. Bulgaria also starts creating more jobs to increase the economy. Bulgaria also renames its self to the Holy Bulgar Empire.
 * Politics
 * Population Crisis: Due to the population crisis and the war in Poland, Bulgaria takes this to an advantage and accepts any Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian or Belorussian refuges, which slightly help increase the population. Along with this the nation allows immigrants from war-torn nations in the Middle East such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, which increase the population and the Muslim population. Despite its name the HBE allows freedom of religion.
 * Laws
 * Military
 * Holy Bulgar Army:
 * Holy Bulgar Army Ground Force: The Bulgar Army starts working heavily on their defense and recruit 30,000 new soldiers putting the number of active troops to 67,400 and 300 Thousand reserve personnel. The Bulgar Ground Forces start working on better Tanks instead of the old Soviet Tanks. The Bulgars create the HBA-17, so fare there are ten HBA-17, however the Bulgar is starting to recruit Tank manufacturers to increase this number and by next year it is expected to reach at least 35 HBA-17 Tanks. The HBA is one of the strongest tanks in the Balkans and the Bulgar plan is to be the strongest Balkan Nation. Bulgaria also make 1500 AFV's. The Bulgars have also made 400 Towed Artillery Conflicts Bulgarian-Macedonian War: The Bulgarian Government tiered of the "Macedonians" calling them selves that (since they are Bulgarian) decide to invade the nation sending in about 15,000 troops that manage to occupy half of the nation, but the Bulgarians send in 20,000 more and manage to occupy the nation with little resistance.
 * Research 
 * Analytic
 * Cities:
 * Sofia:
 * Pliska: Pliska being once the capital of Bulgaria is not rebuilt However, the modern city of "Pliska" is expanded to make more people move in to Pliska and help the shattered city be one of the most popular.

The Russian Federation

The Russian Ground Force (RGF) consists of:
 * Government: Nothing really changes this year. Putin simply centralizes his control and begins taking administration of Newrussia into his hands.
 * Research: Russian military equipment is all being produced as all old equipment has completed modernization and is now being expanded upon (more on that below). Russian scientists begin producing the S-17 spacecraft, and the first Russian is sent to the moon in one this year. The spacecraft is a smaller more cost-effective version of the American Space Shuttle, and can hold five people and reach speeds of 3000 miles per hour. Plans for a Russian space station are also laid out. The RSO (Russian space Outpost) would be the largest structure built in orbit, and will be built by detachable rooms. This makes for easy upgrading of the space station, as old rooms can simply be scuttled for new ones. On the ground, Russian radar systems are upgraded and a Wi-Fi system is in place through most of the major Russian cities and roads. To some, Russia is beginning to enter a technological boom.
 * Analytics: Russian growth in most sectors as increasing at a ever-higher rate, and is expected to keep growing for at least five years.
 * Economy: The Russian economy grows from $2.4 trillion to $2.75 trillion, with a GDP growth of $350 billion. Unemployment in Russia is at 2.3%, and is expected to be at 0.4% by 2019. The average wage per year is $23,000, and many new jobs open up. Russia now produces its own oil, wood, military equipment, and steel.
 * Healthcare: The new healthcare system put into place by Putin last year is working, as deaths in hospitals not from old-age are down 17% and new modern equipment is being used.
 * Infrastructure: Putin begins a series of roads and public transportation systems throughout European Russia and a modernization of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. The road system, which will stretch from St. Petersburg to Volgograd to Novosibirsk will be completed by 2019.
 * Demographics: Russian population begins to boom in 2017 after the enforcement of Putin's new birth laws begin. In Russia, 470,000 new people are born (there are more but people die so I subtracted my original number). However, since Russia seized parts of eastern Ukraine, its population has grown by an additional 2.5 million people, and immigration into Russia this year reached a total of 640,000 migrants. The puts the Russian population at 150,440,000 people, with an additional 6.8 million people under Russian occupation due to wars in Ukraine and Poland. Additionally, most of Russia now is politically fascist, and this may cause change in Putin's future policies. Also, about 40% of Russians are now atheist, another 52% are Orthodox, 2% are Muslim, and the remainder are pagan, Jewish, or another Christian religion. Russia is 72% Russian, 12% Ukrainian, 1% Chinese, 1% Japanese and the rest are Siberian/Turkic groups.
 * Military: The Russian military continues its massive modernization and buildup program. By now, all of Russia's equipment is modern.
 * Military Projects: In 2017, the first designs for a primitive railgun are created. Set to be used in 2019, this railgun can fire shells and missile and bombs up to 18 miles at speeds of 390 miles per hour. Next, the IAT-17 is created and begun to be produced in factories. The trucks will be transport for infantry and cargo, and can carry 12 people/3,000 pounds of supplies. Next, the Resurgence Class Aircraft Carriers are put into production. Planned to be showcased until 2019, little is released except for the fact that the runway will be 4000 feet long. Finally, a new helicopter is created for ALL military branches: the H-17. the H-17 will be a combat/transport helicopter, with machine guns, missiles, and rope, and enough room to carry four people or 700 pounds.

 * Conflicts:
 * The War on Terror (International/National) (The Middle East, Afghanistan, North Africa, Russia) (2001 - Present): Russian forces in the Middle East begin bombing Raqqa in an attempt to neuter ISIS. Military equipment is sent to Assad's regime and a volunteer army of 5000 marches through Turkey and Georgia to help Kurdish forces attack Mosul.
 * The Russo-Ukrainian War (International) (Ukraine) (2017 - Present): In March, Russian soldiers cross the border and occupy the newly independent state of Newrussia. The exact border with Ukraine is unknown, and border conflicts increase massively. Putin gets extremely agitated at this and invades Ukraine. The invasion is launched by three separate thrusts. One is from the Crimea, which is aimed to move up northeast toward the Russian border and cut off Ukrainian soldiers. Another thrust is aimed at the capital of Kiev, in order to capitulate Ukraine and destroy its command structure. Finally, the last advance is a massive attack across the new border aimed toward the Moldavian border. The Russian navy quickly attacks Ukrainian naval bases with the assistance of air power, destroying or neutering most of Ukraine's navy, and only about eight planes and two small ships are lost. The air force relentlessly bombs Ukrainian positions. By December, only four months after war is declared, Russian troops are an estimated 60 miles from Kiev, and parts of the advance reach up to the Dneiper River. Estimated Russian losses are 8300 men, four tanks, seven fighter jets, two cargo planes, one battleship, 32 mobile trucks, 18 artillery batteries, and three small boats. The war is expected to end within the next two years.
 * War for the Former Soviet Nations (International) (Baltic, Poland) (2017 - Present): As stated by Russia previously, both the PRC and Russia join the war on Lithuania's side. Two offensives, each with 60,000 Russian soldiers, along with 980 tanks, 2120 trucks, 20 helicopters, and 290 artillery pieces, stationed in Kalingrad, are launched into Poland. (NOTE: THIS IS SECRET INFO: ONLY RUSSIAN ALLIES HAVE KNOWLEDGE. The plan is for one offensive group to move westward along the Polish coast, seizing Gdansk, then marching southeast toward Warsaw. The other group will march east linking up with Belorussian forces to surround Polish forces in Lithuania.) By December, Russian troops are engaged in house to house fighting in Gdansk, and have reached the border with Belarus. Heavy losses have been endured by Russian soldiers, but some captured equipment of GERMAN manufacture has shown that Germany is supplying Poland with arms. East Prussia is also partially occupied by Russian militia forces.

 * Government:
 * Reformation to a Republic: It reaches the second year of transitioning, but the monarch still holds power but the current head of government begins to gain more rights and powers and is starting to feel like the equivalent of the head of state than King Charles III was. The parliament continues to issue laws and legislations to continue the slow and painful transition, including the soon to come official rename and deposing Charles III from throne and instating the current Prime Minister into a new seat named as the Head Leader.
 * Political Parties: This year, a change to political parties occur. New parties emerge or break from major old political party, i,e. Conservatives
 * Military: Military is now officially merged with the local police force, giving advantage when it comes to defending but would make some civilians not satisfied with the current situation they have made. It continues to refine technology, especially in navy.
 * Personnel / Britannian Armed Forces (BAF): Recruiting propaganda continues to occur in the country and sonce the start of the Irish Civil War, the active personnel rose from 332,00 to 410,000 in overall.

 * Navy Forces / Britannian Royal Fleet (BRF): Prioritised, Greater London's Thames River is about to undergo part changes to build up a military port in the east of London, but Belfast, Edinburgh, Bristol, Southampton, Liverpool and Cardiff have being prioritised to make a military port for commissioning ships. Minesweeping is declared obsolete in Britain, therefore decreasing numbers of minesweeping boats. By the end of the year, three aircraft carriers, 20 frigates, 16 destroyers, six corvettes, 25 submarines (and growing to make surprise attacks), 20 minesweepers and 45 transport ships (carries 1500 or so men each) in the military.
 * Air Forces / Britannian Royal Air Force (BRAF): The air force is a second priority, after navy. Helicopters, jet fighters and bombers (usually stealth) are produced in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast as priority.

 * Conflicts:
 * Second Irish Civil War (Intervention; Ireland; 2017-present): As Ireland falls into two sides that are in conflict and possibly the government is going to lose, they began intervening to unite the Isles and attack mostly on almost all sides at the western front of Ireland, from Munster to Ulster. Cork, Galway and Sligo fell within few weeks due to their footsteps being superior, although most of the civilian "rebels" are still fighting upon the Republic of Ireland, they are likely to head back and attack back their own cities.
 * War on Terrorism - War against Islamic State (Intervention; Syria, Libya and Iraq; 2014-present): As an act to drive off the Islamic State off the world again, they sent in airstrikes across Derna and Benghazi. In the Levant, 10,000 troops were sent to attack against the Islamic State while the opposition and the government is not relatively taken seriously for this one. This may or may not affect relationships that are allied with the Syrian government.
 * Economy: Exporting (despite resources almost ran out), industry, services and tourism is continued to be prioritised as the highest. As England and Wales is becoming mostly urbanised, agriculture starts to decline in those areas, while many major cities such as London, Edinburgh and Manchester saw a growth to industry and commerce to those areas. In GDP it goes from 43,200 USD to 44,800 USD in nominal (didn't use overall so) and is expected to continue growing until it stagnates by 2020, although if Ireland were to join after the Irish Civil War, a boost would come.

Mod Events

 * Private Supersonic Jets: While commercial airliners typically cruise at Mach 0.85 (567 mph), the Spike S-512 uses advanced engine and airframe technology to reach speeds of Mach 1.8 (1200 mph). Holding up to 18 passengers, it can fly from NYC to London in 3.5 hours instead of seven hours; or from LA to Tokyo in eight hours instead of 16 hours.* This private jet, costing $80 million, is aimed at the richest business executives and celebrities, but supersonic and even hypersonic travel will become more affordable in future decades. A competitor, Aerion, will deliver their own supersonic jet in 2023. This will be followed by larger hypersonic commercial airliners in the 2030s.
 * African Central Bank: Following many years of diplomatic talks, a unified African Central Bank has been established. This represents a crucial step toward a more stable and developed Africa. Though international efforts made in recent years, mostly as part of the UN's Millennium Development Goals, the continent still had numerous problems to deal with. Despite medical advances and socio-economic progress, famine and disease were on-going issues. In the north, residual tensions and instability remained, following the protests and uprisings that raged earlier in the decade. The Horn of Africa was plagued by drought and civil unrest, while piracy off the coast of Somalia had only increased as oil and other commodities rose in value.
 * South Korean Winter Olympics: The 2018 Winter Olympics take place from 9th February to 25th February 2018, in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The elected host city was announced by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in July 2011.

 * Japan on the moon: In 2018, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) sends an unmanned mission to the Moon. This uses an Epsilon solid-fuel rocket to carry and deploy a "Smart Lander for Investigating Moon" (SLIM). The probe is designed to perfect soft-landing technologies for manned missions in the future. While previous attempts by space agencies have landed spacecraft within several kilometres of their target site, SLIM aims to land within 100 metres (approximately 328 feet). Face recognition software, similar to that found in digital cameras, enables it to identify craters. The mission costs ¥10 billion to ¥15 billion (between $83 and $125 million). Only five nations have achieved soft landings on the lunar surface – the former Soviet Union, the USA, China, India and Japan.
 * Universal Flu Vaccine: Influenza, commonly known as "the flu", is a serious disease that causes between 250,000 and 500,000 worldwide annual deaths, rising to millions in pandemic years. It can sometimes lead to pneumonia, either direct viral pneumonia or secondary bacterial pneumonia, even in persons who are usually very healthy. Because of the way it can modify proteins on its outer surface, influenza is constantly evolving. This means that vaccines quickly become useless and new versions are required each year. However, researchers found that material on the inside was common to many strains of the virus. By targeting this core region – that never changes, even in new strains – it was hoped that a universal flu vaccine could be developed that would be effective against all current and future outbreaks. A type of white blood cell known as CD8 – part of the body's immune system – was found to recognise proteins in the core. Using blood samples from human volunteers, taken during the 2009 pandemic, it was discovered that patients with higher levels of CD8 T-cells had milder symptoms and less chance of developing flu. By identifying the exact subtype of the immune system giving protection and which components of the virus it was attacking, researchers were able to develop a "blueprint" for a vaccine that could stimulate production of these T-cells. Following further years of research, the vaccine is made publicly available by 2018.
 * Polio eradication: Polio is a disease caused by a virus that enters through the mouth. Spread by poor sanitation and exposure to infected human stools, it can damage the nervous system, leading to paralysis and eventual death. During the first half of the 20th century, there was a dramatic rise in cases. Epidemics became regular events during summer months, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. It was especially prevalent among young children. This provided impetus for a "Great Race" toward the development of a vaccine. Developed in the mid-1950s, polio vaccines began to reduce the global number of cases per year. The last naturally occurring cases in the United States were reported in 1979 and the Western Hemisphere was declared free of the disease by 1994. However, it continued to affect countries in Africa, Asia and elsewhere.* Vaccination efforts were stepped up – led by Rotary International, UNICEF and the World Health Organization. New commitments were made by governments and philanthropists including Bill Gates,* enabling over a billion children to be vaccinated. By 2018, polio has been eradicated from the world. New knowledge about the viruses, new technologies and new tactics to reach the most vulnerable communities have consigned it to history. This is only the second time that a human disease has been completely wiped out; the previous instance was smallpox in 1979.
 * Anti-Obesity Drug: A drug that lets people eat whatever they want without gaining weight is being developed. This works by tricking the body into reacting as though it has already consumed a meal. Though initially expensive, there is enormous demand for this product, leading to a rapid fall in obesity levels throughout much of the world – especially in countries like the US, which until now had been experiencing a crisis in this regard. Average life expectancy is increased as a result, since there are less people dying of heart-related illnesses.

NPC Events

 * Iraq: Baghdad is captured, and so Iraq retreats from the Sunni lands, proclaiming Basra as the new capital. Iraq is hoping that Iran will protect them from the Caliphate.
