Azeri-Turk Republic (Turkey)
 * Government: As Azerbaijan is integrated into the country, the government feels a need to change the official name of the country in order to represent the Azeri peoples. Two referendums were held: the first one asking if the name should be changed, and the second one asking which name (Azeri-Turk Republic, Anatolian Union, Taurus Union, Transasian Union), and Azeri-Turk Republic won. A month later, the official name was changed, though many documents still read "Turkey", "Armenia", and "Azerbaijan".
 * Azeri-Turk Conquest of Cyprus: In order to end the Cyprus conflict, the ATR decides to team up with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to break through the nonexistent UN buffer border and invade the rest of the island. They begin the invasion in March, and by October, the rest of Cyprus is occupied and the following month annexed into Northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus then joins the ATR as an self-sustaining region. The ATR also asks the UK if they can buy Dhekelia and, eventually, Akrotiri, but they are more interested in Dhekelia for now.
 * War on ISIS: As ISIS nears the border with the ATR, the ATR decides to launch an invasion of ISIS and invites Iran to help them in Iraq. Azeri-Turkish forces bombard the cities of Aleppo, Mosul, and Erbil, while ground forces are storming the borders.
 * Military: The total military does not increase too much, and it stands at about 1,002,039. However, many reserve troops are moved to active troops due to the wars in Cyprus and Syria/Iraq. WIP
 * Economy: The economy is doing very well considering the ATR's state. After having united with a country and waged a few wars, many economists are surprised at the state of the economy. Istanbul, Ankara, Ismir, Adana, Gaziantep, and Baku are all bustling economic centers, and many Aegean and Mediterranean resort cities are gaining many tourists. It seems like a new 'hotspot' of 2017, as Croatia was the hostspot before. However, it is far from surpassing Spain, Greece, Croatia, Italy, and Portugal in tourists, but it is a cheap alternative to Greek tarifs.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan: The ATR would like to instill freedom of movement with and between them to ease travelling between the countries. It also tells them that it would be a good idea to unite into some sort of 'Central Asian Union' or 'Turkestan' in order to secure their position in the region and to gain power.
 * Russia: The ATR offers an alliance pact, as they are now neighbors.
 * China: The ATR offers an alliance pact.
 * France: Turkey again condemns French support for ISIS, and if they don't stop, Turkey will have to assemble a coalition against France.
 * UK: Turkey would like to buy Dhekelia in Cyprus.
