Unions
Unions are very important. They act as alliances, but also as Economic Unions. The player has the ability to create new unions, but only with the consent of 1 or more other countries who the player wishes to include in this. If the player wishes to exit the union, they union will stop providing money and support to the player. If the player attacks another member of its union, then the player is kicked out of the union and a warning is issued to the player.

Militants / Rebels
Militants and Rebels work almost exactly the same. They appear when there is evident oppression or disagreements between the public and government. However, the rebels are not terrorists, and it is unlikely that they will form international alliances. Militants are terrorists, and so they can ally themselves with other Militant Organisations across the globe. They can also attack countries indirectly via terrorist attacks.

Current Situation

 * War for Argentinian Suppression: The Latin Coalition and the Mediterranean Union are working together to defeat the Argentinian Empire, which is suppressing it's people and becoming extremely corrupt. Many ethnic groups are longing for independence or recognition.
 * The Angevine Civil War: Since the ISMK terrorist attack, the French region was becoming very unstable. Then, it suddenly erupted, France trying for independence. The French Rebels believe that their culture has faded, even though it was the French who had begun this Empire in the first place. They believe that the French deserve recognition and independence. Both the Mediterranean Union and Nordic Union have been offering support, but Angevine officials have not responded.
 * The Islamic State in Mesopotamia and Kurdistan (ISMK): These new militants have been spreading terror across the world. in 2013, there was a massive terrorist attack in Paris, which provoked the Angevine Civil War. ISMK claimed responsibility for this. Since then, the group has expanded greatly.
 * The Second Libyan Civil War: After they Libyan leader was assassinated, Libya has been in great turmoil. ISMK has taken the advantage to start taking over Libya. International support has dwindled since this.
 * The Boko Haram insurgency: Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon have all been experiencing mass terrorist attacks from the Militant group known as Boko Haram. They have affiliated themselves with ISMK, and there are rumors that Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to them.
 * Celtic Union: Recently, the Celtic Union has joined the Nordic Union, which makes it the 11th member to date. The Lowlands and Germany then started negotiations concerning their admission.
 * Occitania: They decide to intervene in the Angevine Civil War in Angevine side since they don't want a new France to form and they also have good relations with Angevine. Occitanian troops march into rebel territory and they meet with Angevine troops, they start a series of attacks against the rebels in order to encircle them.

NPC Events

 * Gran Columbia: The Columbians decide to invade Amazonas since they're busy fighting against Argentina and they're very vulnerable to invasions. Columbia sends half of its army to the Amazonan front, where they are advancing really quickly, and the rest is left to defend against an Aragonese landing coming from the Caribbean.
 * Bavaria: The alliance request of Switzerland is accepted. As the Germans advance into Bavarian territory without showing mercy, the bavarians move most of their troops to the city of Munich in order to defend it at all cost. Bavaria also requests Switz asistance in the war.
 * Silesia: Silesia accepts hosting a referendum for joining the PLU next year.
 * Brittany: Brittany decides to refuse joining the Celtic Union since they would be menaced by the Angevine Empire if they did and they prefer to keep good relations with it.
 * Austria: As Bavaria is invaded by the imperialist Germany, Austria decides to ally with Bavaria and support them since an important part of it is ethnically Austrian. Weapons and money is sent to the Bavarians as well as some defense forces to help them defend against the germans.

 * Lowlands: The Lowlands condemns the German and Celtic attacks against Bavaria and Angevine, however, since they have little power, there's not much they can really do for intervening in these two wars. Lowlands also stops with their plans of joining the NU because of the attacks against Angevine.
 * Kutadila: The Taliban continues with their ruthless expansion in Kutadila, taking over entire cities step by step and massacring entire towns that refuse to follow their ideology. Terrorist attacks are also becoming more and more common in government controlled areas where suicide bombings occur practically everyday. The government of Kutadila desperately requests the intervention of the Himalayan Triad in the country since they're not able to fight the militants back themselves. Samarya has approved intervention in Kutadila so far, however, Bharat still has to authorize it.
 * Iran: Iran, in the other hand, is successfully fighting back the Taliban thanks to their ell-funded armed forces and the support of Russia. Iran retakes multiple cities previously controlled by the Taliban. Terrorist attacks also occur in government controlled areas, especially in Tehran, however, they're still not as a common as in Kutadila.

Player Events

 * Greece: Greece sends some sort of military alliance with Serbia. In attempt to eliminate the northern neighbour of Macedonia, it prepares its army and equipment to defend it's borders between Albania and Macedonia. Albania has a less amount of population and Greece claims Corfu and Epirus as a rightful land to them, which makes it a good flanking point for attacking Macedonia and sends its army to go to it's borders and build some barbed wires across the northern border, considering the government proclaiming it as a closed border between both of them, this may or not affect the economy such as tolls. They are considering to industrialise Attica, Euboea and Crete, as to increase their production on military and goods.
 * United States: With the United States Ban on confederate flags the southern states begin to start tensions from Texas to North Carolina they start to desire for independence.

 * Switzerland: The Swiss Government asks the Republic of Bavaria for an Alliance, to help contain Austrian power in the Region and quickly suppress their oppression of Swiss and Bavarian people on their territories, The Swiss economic is mainly based on the gains in trade and banking, so the help maintain a safe place for the money while they are at war the swiss create the Free Republic of Genebra, a satellite of Switzerland.
 * Celtic Union: The Celtic Union sees the Angevine Civil War as a chance to invade England and Wales. While its troops are either fighting the revolt or have joined it, the Celtic Union invades England and Wales. Most of the people in the Celtic Union sympathize with the French, as the same thing that happened to them happened to Angevine Celts. People in cities like Dublin and Edinburgh join the Military. By the end of the turn the Celtic Union has occupied Northumbria, Cumberland, Wales, and Cornwall, with plans to annex Wales and Cornwall. Changes to the school system are made, with Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, and Manx being taught in their respective areas before any other language. In occupied Northumberland and Cumbria Scottish is taught in schools. The Celtic Union adds Welsh, Cornish, and Manx to its list of official languages. Brittany is asked if it wants to join the Celtic Union. The Celtic Union begins improving relations with Germany and The Lowlands because of them trying to join the Nordic Union.
 * PLU: The PLU improves its military and to rise  its economy it decides to build cities these are: Polish Minsk, East Warsaw and Warkow. They also build larger building in order to gain more tourist so that they can gain more money. The PLU asks Silesia for hosting a referendum for joining the PLU. The referendum will be held in Silesia next year. The PLU and Belarus make an Eastern European Alliance. The PLU asks the Germans for an alliance.
 * Australia:
 * Government: For many years Australia has been governed by the Labour Party, which has always kept an isolationist policy as well as progressive policies in social security and welfare. However, in the 2014 presidential election, the Labour Party's candidate, Wendy Harper, was defeated by Bill Chandler from the Libertarian Party. Bill assumed the charge in February 1st, 2015. One of his first actions as president was the establishment of diplomatic relations with other countries in order to end the isolationist period, and the privatization of some industries in order to make the economy grow even more.
 * Operation "Oceanic Wave": The new, expansionist government also begins an underground secret operation with the major companies of the country, the plan basically consists of expanding Australian influence in the Pacific by slowly influencing and sphering other countries in the region. The first stage of the operation, at least for now, is vassalizing New Tarragona, this would be done by establishing a monopoly over the small country by buying the country's companies one by one. In order to achieve said objective, Australia's major companies unite into a conglomerate called "Victorian Conglomerate", with headquarters in Canberra. It is estimated that this operation will be complete by 2017 or 2018.
 * Economy: Because of the privatization of industries and the rise of the Victorian Conglomerate, the economy is growing, with the main economic activity being mining, the manufacturing industry is also one of the main contributors to the economy. Australia is now also open to trade with more countries, the main Australian trade parthners are New Tarragona and, to a lesser extent, the Buddhist Union. In November, Australia proposes the creation of the Oceanian Council, inviting New Tarragona to the Union.
 * Oceanian Council: As a part of the secret "Oceanian Wave" Operation, Australia invites New Tarragone to becoming part of an Union with Australia. The government says that this is done for the geographical proximity and in order to strengthen the ties between both nations, as well as increasing trade between both nations.
 * Armed Forces: Australian armed forces do not increase greatly this year, although the recruitment and military budget are slightly raised this year with the excuse of possible terrorist threats because of the ISMK expansion across the globe and the recent attacks in the French area of the Angevine Empire. This being said, around 15,000 new military personnel was recruited this year. Most of the extra budget goes to the Navy, 2 new vessels are also starting to being built.
 * Diplomacy:
 * New Tarragona: Australia greatly improves its relations with New Tarragona, the president visited the country in July and trade between both nations has increased. The creation of an Oceanian Council was also proposed with New Tarragona as one of the members of the Union. As for the Victorian Conglomerate, it has not expanded to New Tarragona yet. However, it plans to do as soon as the Union is formally established between Australia and New Tarragona.
 * Buddhist Union: In order for trying to decrease the influence of Indonesia in the region, Australia tries to improve its diplomatic relationships with the member countries of the Buddhist Union, and it plans to achieve a few trade agreements with the Union im the future as the Oceanian Council.
 * Angevine Empire: Australia offers support to the Angevine Empire since the Celtic Union attacked them first without having a valid casus belli. For now, Australia will offer diplomatic support to the Angevine Empire and troops will only by sent to aid Angevine if things start getting out of hand. Australia suggests that Angevine should create an autonomous french region in order to stop the rebellions and focus in defending against the Celtic and Froni invaders.
 * Kurdistan: Australia funds the Kurds against ISMK and starts to analyze the idea of making an International Coalition against ISMK.


 * Ethiopia: The ruler of Ethiopia, Zewditu I dies, and Haile Selassie I Takes control of Ethiopia and proclaims it great, Highly increasing the military spending up to 2% of the Ethiopian GDP. Selassie privatizes the mining sector, giving the country more money. Although this causes some unrest due the switches of government between the more leftist Zewditu and the iron fist of Selassie, legalizing death penalty for several crimes such as murder, and even robbing at a large scale, making the Ethiopian police more likely to kill criminals. Which causes unrest across the people that disagrees with this method, rising up in protests which are ignored. Selassie moves the Ethiopian Army, now much more equipped and better trained, spending 22 Billion (real timeline) Dollars. Ethiopia has now risen as a threatening warmonger power on the rise on the horn of Africa, desiring all East Africa, and Selassie aspires to take over the Arabian Peninsula to take profit out of its oil.


 * The German Empire: 
 * Emperor Frederick I of the German Empire decides to gear the nation of Germany towards war. In years previous, the German military has created new weaponry that has changed the way war is conducted in central Europe. In the early 2010s, the infantry received the SIG, or the Standard Infantry Gun. The SIG allows for much more accuracy and range than previous assault rifles, and is much easier to fire. The SIG uses A-1 bullets, which shatter upon entry and fry organs. Infantry units also receive the X-1 combat gear. Designed in 2014, the armor is light and mobile, and can withstand two bullets, and also allows for a slight boost to physical ability, allowing for faster running, higher jumping (about two inches), and sticky gloves to climb walls (glitches a ton). The German Army also uses American Hummers to transport soldiers, and are slightly armored and can carry 900 pounds of supplies and 10 soldiers. The German armor uses the Panzer 14, a new type of tank. The tank holds 20 rounds, and a submachine gun mounted on top. The P-14 Panzer also holds crew for 4 and can reach top speeds of 30 miles per hour. The German Air Force is also much different. The Germans use the Blitz Fighter, a jet that can reach speeds of 800 MPH and has missiles, cannon, and is very fuel-efficient. Drones are also used for bombing, and the German Army has nuclear missiles. The German navy is not as strong as the other branches of the army, but is still a power. The navy uses the N-7 naval frigate, a destroyer with massive armor, missiles, and enough room for 1,000 soldiers. Supply and transport ships are managed by donations, so fishing boats and speedboats are used to transport soldiers.
 * The German Armed Forces consist of:
 * 310.000 active personal
 * 385,000 reserve forces
 * 9,000 Hummers
 * 500 P-14 panzers
 * 50 fighter jets
 * 17 destroyers
 * 60 transport ships
 * The economy of Germany is quite decent. The currency is the Mark, and unemployment is only at 4%, out of a population of 56 million. In January 2015, alliances are requested with Switzerland, Aragon, and Sweden, and the alliance offer from the PLU is accepted. In February, terrorist attacks near the Bavarian border occur, killing 267 people. The terrorists are found to be Bavarian, and war is declared. The German Air Force utterly levels the border regions, as the German War Machine marches south, seizing Mainz by June. By December, Stuttgart and Nurenburg have been taken. Causalities are moderate, with 18,900 German soldiers, 26,000 Bavarian troops, 89 German citizens, and 2,345 Bavarian citizens.Angevine warplans.png


 * Angevine Empire: The Angevine Empire redirects some of its forces from the French front to the Celtic front. Most of Cornwall and Wales is recaptured due to our bigger population and better military technology. From England the celts are fully kicked out and the Angevine Empire took some of Scotland. The country did a surprise attack on the Scottish oilfields and their islands too(both are captured by Angevine troops). A surprise landing is done in western Ireland but it's only to divert their troops from the actual fronts.Every piece of coastline they own is put under a naval blockade by Angevine ships.Military is improved and those who don't join the French rebels or the Celtic military are promised to be given more rights after the war. But those who do even if they survive the war they will die.The Empire advances against the French rebels. A piece of their land is surrounded then easily taken over because of their lack of supplies. The Celts are in full isolation because of the Angevine blockade and they can't trade with any country.Their attempts to break the blockade have failed because of the superior Angevine navy.The empire warns the Nordic union not to help the Celtic Union because he attacked first. The empire also warns Brittany not to join the Celts because now they're under a naval blockade so they can't send them any help and we will finish them off fast.An alliance is offered to the PLU and Iberia and relations are improved with the Mediterranean Union.The empire accepts any help from anybody.On the lands that the empire occupied a defence line is built.US ships are sank by Angevine submarines so they can't send support to the French rebels and if they try by air transport then their planes are shot down by Angevine ones so they can't influence the civil war.


 * Serbia : Serbian Republic declares war on Sprska and the Ground Forces advance very quick to the Bosnian-Sprskan border and they split Sprska in 2 and the forces with the best tanks and forces keep advancing very quick to their goal this war is ending too quick. Serbia Education is good, the Economy medium, there are no fascist, communist, monarchy movements, Serbian Police enters the houses and kills the Non Serbian populations (ethnic cleaning). Serbia Politics supports the Nordic and Mediterranean union and all the other nations. Sprska president suicides after the first attack.
 * ​Italy: Italy makes its army bigger and stronger because it needs land. A weaker country on the other side of the Alps, will most likely be attacked, since it has a weaker and smaller army.​​
 * Kurdistan: Taking out ISMK is the nations top priority at this time. President Barzani authorizes a mass military draft in order to rebuild numbers. Attacks are launched against ISMK in the west with fortifications set up in the in the east.  In term of diplomacy, Kurdistan begins trading oil with some surrounding nations (namely Anatolia and Aegypt) to improve relations. They do not take a side in the Angevine civil war.
 * Bharat: Bharat condemns the actions of both the Celtic Union and French rebels, characterizing them as "attacks on the clearly democratic process that had been so carefully forged in the Angevine Empire". Bharat sends 1,000 paratroopers as well as 150 bombers and an additional 300 fighter planes to conduct military operations targeting the French rebellion which is ongoing within the Angevine Empire. An additional 3,000 Special Operations units are sent to Paris where all of the Bharat Military will converge, in Operation Bullet, which is designed to quickly liberate Paris from well behind front lines. Airstrikes will target prominent rebel headquarters throughout Paris, all the while with the intent of preserving monuments, as well as create a sort of barricade surrounding the city in order to assure that the Rebel government is held cleanly in check. Paris is entered through a landing point on the southern Seine river, and Bharatian forces secure the rest of Paris like so. Rebel leaders whom are unable to escape the scene are escorted to London by Bharat's Air Force, and the Special Operations Troops/Paratroopers all diverge and meet up with Occitan forces, Angevine forces, or both in order to assure the security of France. Additional military support numbering about 250,000 troops enters Kutadila in an attempt to protect Bharat's ally from the terrors of the Islamic State, and additional reinforcements have been mobilized. A "Democratic Bloc" has been proposed as an alliance between the Himalayan Triad, the Mediterranean Union, and the Angevine Empire due to the common interests shared by these groups. A diplomatic decision is eagerly being awaited in New Delhi, Bharat from the Unions and the Empire, respectively.
 * Algeria: Algeria officially declares war on Morocco sending 45,000 soldiers 80 Tanks and ten Fighter airplanes to fight in Morocco.

Current Situation

Austria also accepts Switzerland's alliance request and they propose to create the Alpine Confederacy along with Switzerland and Bavaria.
 * Boko Haram begins attacking the Central African Republic and they expand more into Cameroon and Chad. However, the Nigerian government has started a full campaign against them and they have been able to recapture some areas in Northeast Nigeria.
 * The War of the Latin Coalition is also escalating. Mexico and the USA are being increasingly drawn into the conflict, with Mexico supporting Aragon and its allies, and the USA supporting Argentina and Gran Colombia. Meanwhile, Aragon lands in the coasts of Gran Colombia, sending troops from Caribbean. However, after a bloody battle, the defending colombian troops are able to drive Aragon back. Aragon decides to not send more reinforcements to the Caribbean from the mainland until they're done with the war in Europe, since they consider it more important. In the Amazonian front, the Colombian advance is halted after Amazonas took troops from the Argentine front to defend its border. However, this also allows Argentina to regain some land.
 * The Islamic State in Libya continues to expand in the country since no country has sent support to Libya. There are also rumors that the ISL has started to cooperate with the insurgency in Western Libya for attacking the legitimate Libyan government.
 * The Taliban's expansion in Kutadila has been halted thanks to Bharati support, terrorist attacks have also decreased a bit, however, it is clear that the war against the Taliban is still far from ending since they have gained a considerable amount of power throughout the years. In Iran, the government keeps advancing in their territory, almost driving them out of their borders by now.
 * ISMK has stopped expanding in Kurdistan and they have now focused on Mesopotamia. They keep advancing into Mesopotamia with little resistance from the government, they have also expanded farther into Jordan and they plan to start an invasion of Saudi Arabia soon.

Player Events

 * Switzerland: Switz responds to the Italian threat by asking Aragon to become an Observer State of the Mediterranian Union, the Government of Switzerland also activates the Herberge Plan, A defensive plan using Switz High-Tech Equip, And lots of tactics, as said by its inventor, Pierre Pantalonflons: "The plan is the best we know today for fighting blitz tactics and over numbered troops, if done well, you can even defend in a margin 1 against 9!" later Pantaflons confirmed he exagerated: "In the best conditions it can be 1 against 8, tough if the proportions are similar, for example 1 to 2, you can fight without losing 1 soldier!" we think this is also exageraton of his part, some of the Defensive gear is moved, as Switzerland directly intervenes in the German-Bavarian War, "This aggression won't stand!", says the Swiss Minister of Foreign Affairs, as Germany is probably not stopping the Bavarian attacks, the Swiss Government refuses there alliance. Switzerland calls for the Lowlands, Bohemia, Silesia, Moravia and Denmark to intervene, as German Imperialism is a danger for all nations in the area. The Swiss Government also sees that Austria will be helping in the war, and asks for an alliance.The Swiss Republic supports the Angevine government indirectly against the French reformist rebels, due to the fact of the Occitanian Majority.

 * In all main Railways and Motorways (including bridges) there are Dragon Teeth and pre-prepared Czech Headhogs, as in the northern Alpinian Wall (Swiss Defense in some parts of the Border with Neighboring Countries). Bunkers are installed all across the territory. The Switz Government also starts a secret project in one of Swiss unfiltered countries it's called Operation White Dove (it's secret so I'm not revealing what country it is in until the plan is concluded).
 * As the Austrian,Bavarian and Swiss Coalition against Germany (Alpine Coalition) starts to push back german attacks,  they quickly take down 19 German Jets by using the SAM system

The German troops are taken down by using the Herberger Defense Plan, The Body Armor of the German troops was captured by Bavarian troops during the start of the war, and is now being studied by the Alpine Coalition scientists to create a form to turn it against them, some soldiers are also using captured armor.

As the troops advance trough Germany and near the start of December, a siege is managed in the the area near Berlim, as there are 3 countries in the coalition a large area can be occupied in one turn, some people start Rebelling to end the war, they are called the Bavarian Supporter Group (BSG).

Due to the destabization of the main government, a group of Militants also emerges called the Pomeranian Liberators or the Pomeranian Liberation Movement (PLM).

In the end of the year the area occupied is this:

As the war starts being won the Swiss military starts working on a peace proposal:

In the end of the year war casualties are passed:

German Manpower: ~310,000

German Brute Land Systems Power: ~9500

German Brute Air Power: ~60

Alpine Coalition's Manpower: ~550.000 (Austrian Manpower ~190.000, Bavarian Manpower ~210.000, Swiss Manpower ~150.000

Alpine Brute Land Systems Power: ~12.110

Alpine Brute Air Power: ~180

Heberge/ Defensive Part:

The first part of the Herberge Defense plan managed to take down ~40 German Jets and Completely Overwhelm the German Forces in the battlefield, by taking a defensive position in the high areas and taking out most of the German forces by sniper shots and fast fire attacks.

Counterattack:

With the German troops badly prepared for the overwhelmingly large coalition's manpower and land power the Alpinian troops quickly advance over the German territory, starting the full blown counterattack in June, In December the area of Berlin (what we think to be Germany's capital) is reached and is now on a siege.

A counter attack is highly unlikely as the troops are mostly overwhelmed.

After Effects of the Year

German Manpower: ~190.000

German Brute Land Systems Power: ~8200

German Brute Air Power: ~8

Alpine Coalition's Manpower: ~490.000 (Austrian Manpower ~170.000, Bavarian Manpower ~190.000, Swiss Manpower ~130.000

Alpine Brute Land Systems Power: ~10.130

Alpine Brute Air Power: ~153 Angevine Empire:The Angevine Empire took most of Scotland by the end of the year and Isle of Man is taken, too (Scotland is smaller than Azerbaijan). The Empire made a deal with the Froni Union to hand over it's occupied territories and leave the war but the Empire pays the Union 2 billion US dollars(you can find it in the comments). There are several offensives launched against the French rebels one of which is made to meet up with the advancing Occitanian forces.The naval blockade of the Celts is still kept up.There's a blockade for the Irish and an other blockade for the Scottish parts. This way the two parts can't support each other and they can't trade with anyone.They're outnumbered too because their population before the war was 11 million (according to wiki) and the Angevine population was 98 million.And if they try with any offensive it fails at the beginning because of the bigger Angevine population and better military.An alliance is offered to Australia,Bharat,The PLU and applies for observer status in the Mediterranean Union(joining is not possible because the Empire doesn't have Mediterranean weather).
 * Serbia : Forces Continue braking the defences of Sprska while heavy defences are made near Bulgarian border. On Equipment Serbia has 1000 T-99 tanks, 300.000 Ak-12 for the soldiers, 600 sukhoi (T-50) planes and 400.000 Makarov pistols. The Serbian Army is marching to the deeps of Sprska while all Serbia walls itself. Alliance with Albania does NOT exist. Meanwhile, there's only a non aggression pact. Sprska is dying slowly.
 * Bulgaria: The Bulgarian president makes improvements to the military and begins modernizing major cities like the capital. An alliance offer is sent to Anatolia and Germany.
 * Ethiopia: Selassie declares war on Somalia and the already mobilized troops enter Somalian Territory, closing in really quickly to the Somalian Capital. Selassie makes government conscription a thing, which is heavily criticized across the country, Selassie makes propaganda in schools and such to show how it's " beneficial for our great country " the military spending is increased a 50% compared to last years, showing it drastic as 3% of the Ethiopian GDP is dumped on military spending, counting for 100.000 Active personnel equipped and trained.WIP
 * Greece: Greek soldiers march into Gjirokaster, as an act of war for acquiring South Albania, seeing that they have a weak army for now, they used full force to capture Gjirokaster by few weeks later after the war. Given to some sort of warning, they become feeling worried about a coalition against Greece will happen soon. The army grows in size by conscription, they make sure training is enough and may take at least ten months to finish this full-scale training. So far they've increased it by 50,000. As the Macedonian population is about ~17.5 million (estimated, but they control Constantinople), they want to take some precautions on their huge manpower and want to turn their men against them. Funding an organisation may be the cause. Industrialisation continues, while Athens becomes modernised further.
 * Russia: The government starts a mass propaganda movement to get people to join the army to fight ISMK and ISL from billboards to newspapers to television to anything else you can imagine. Gay parades are banned to appease Orthodox Christians and Muslims. The flag is changed.
 * Kiev: Russia sends a peace offering to Kiev, with the terms that the become a vassal and are renamed to Malorus.

 * Buddhist Union: Russia is considering letting Siberia join the Buddhist Union. Russia proposes a treaty of friendship with the Buddhist union.
 * Albania: Russia deploys troops to fight against Greece in Albania as Greece declared war on Albania with no valid justification.
 * Greece: Russia sanctions Greece and declares that it more sanctions will come if Greece does not sign peace with Albania.
 * Serbia: Russia threatens Serbia with war if they do not surrender and peace out. They accept and a provisional government is set up backed by the Serbian military but administered by Russia. ((The player of Serbia accepted this))
 * USA: Russia threatens the US to intervene on the brazilian side if they intervene on the Argentine side of the war.
 * Australia: Russia signs an alliance agreement with Australia.
 * Mediterranean Union: Russia urges the MU to take steps to get Greece to end its war against Albania.


 * Australia:
 * Government: The libertarians of Bill Chandler win the majority of the seats at the parliamentary elections of the 1st of July, guaranting the liberty of making reforms to the government. The opposition, although much less stronger than before, is still present in the parlament, but there is not much they can really do with a libertarian majority. Bill Chandler also decides to begin a propaganda campaing against terrorism, he performs multiple speeches and encourages people to unite against these threats. There were not major changes to the government this year, except for a very controversial resolution that was passed in December by the libertarian-dominated parlament. This new resolution allowed the government to enforce a forced conscription among the population. This means that military service will be mandatory from now on, starting in 2017.
 * Operation "Oceanic Wave": The operation continues as the Victorian Conglomerate starts acquiring companies based in New Tarragona one by one, as well as properties, shops, etc. By now, most of the companies in the island of Tasmania are already owned by the VC, which has successfully established a monopoly in there. The VC also starts expanding operations in the two main islands of New Tarragona, the vassalization process is expected to end in 2018.
 * Protests: Some pacifists supported by a few members of opposition parties protest peacefully against the new military law in cities such as Sydney, Canberra and Perth. No major incidents were reported apart from what would be seen in a typical carnival organized by drugged-out hippies.
 * Economy: The Australian economy continues to increase as trade is increased with the New Tarragona due to the Ocenian Council and some other nations such as Russia for example. The possibility of creating a new and common currency for both New Tarragona and Australia is currently being analyzed by Australian economists in order to bring the two members of the Oceanian Council even closer.
 * Armed Forces: Propaganda has some effects on the Australian population, which causes more people to join the army, air force and the navy. Around 45,000 new recruits were recruited this year and this number will be even bigger next year because of forced conscription. Australia starts preparations for the War on Terror, the military budget is increased and it is now clear that the old isolationist and peaceful Australia is now a thing from the past, a new Australia is on the making, an Australia that promises to make this nation the one and only great power of the region, an Australia respected by its neighbors and feared by its enemies, an strong Australia. As of December 31th, 2016, these are the numbers of the Australian Armed Forces;
 * Military:
 * Active Military Personnel: 95,431
 * Reserve: 120,159
 * Tanks: 77
 * Armored Fighting Vehicles: 2,320
 * Air Force:
 * Fighter Aircraft: 82
 * Transport Aircraft: 152
 * Attack Helicopters: 29
 * Navy:
 * Aircraft Carriers: 1
 * Frigates: 13
 * Submarines: 7
 * Destroyers: 11
 * Transport Ships: 45
 * War against ISMK: Australia officially declares war on the Islamic State of Mesopotamia and Kurdistan due to their breaking of civil rights and the fact that they're a menace for global security. Bill Chandler orders the creation of a Special Brigade consisting of special forces from the military that are well known for their experience, the total number of members of the brigade is around 3,500 troops. This Special Brigade (or SB) is sent to the country of Mesopotamia, they arrived at the port of Kuwait in the east of the country. In Kuwait City, Australia establishes a military base with the permission of the government of the Mesopotamian government, this base will serve as the headquarters of the SB. The objective of the SB is to help the Mesopotamians against the ISMK. The SB starts training mesopotamian troops in order to improve their skills in combat, the SB also learns some tactics against the ISMK that local troops know. After several months of training, Mesopotamian troops march into ISMK territory along with SB and Russian troops for retaking key cities in the center of the country. Airstrikes on ISMK bases are also conducted by the Australian Air Force with support of Russia.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Russia: The Sustralian nation decides to sign an alliance treaty with Russia, since Australia considers Russia as a powerful ally, and both countries also share their interests in destroying the ISMK and countering the Aragonese Empire in the Pacific.
 * Angevine Empire: Australia accepts the alliance request of the Angevine Empire, hoping that both nations strengthen their ties in the future, this also causes a decrease of diplomatic relations with the Froni Union and Celtic Union, although mostly with Froni Union.
 * Mesopotamia: Relations with Mesopotamia increase greatly since Australia is supporting them against the ISMK.
 * Bharat: Since one of the main objectives of Australia is decrease the indonesian influence in the region, Australia decides to increase relations with Bharat and they ask for a trade agreement between the Oceanian Council and the Himalayan Triad.
 * Ethiopia: Since Australia considers Somalia a failed state and a refugee for islamist terrorism, Australia decides to fund the Ethiopians against Somalia, relations with Ethiopia are also increased because of this.

South Africa: Economy, infrastructure and military improve. Population continues to grow stabilize slow. Fewer churches, harbors, militaristic buildings and more houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, factories with less,shops and mining plants are built. Roads, railroads and farms are built or improved and cities continue to grow. Education is improved and more educational buildings are built. Continues building underground houses, shops, factories and offices in largest cities. Continues building solar plants on homes' roofs and deserts, and wind farms on hills, deserts and farms. South Africa decided to declare war on Namibia to help Zambia and ultimately invade the country.

Kurdistan: The Kurdish military uses the ISMK invasion of Mesopotamia as an opportunity, and launch a massive offensive against the terror organization, regaining major territories from them. Kurdistan calls for an international coalition against ISMK. The economy continues to improve despite the conflict, mainly due to the increasing oil trade. They remain isolationist in terms of other international incidents as they are still heavily focused on ISMK at this point in time.
