Talk:Shattered (Map Game)/@comment-26044830-20180317231919

United States of America
 * Government: Bold is the most important ones in the map game.
 * Antifa-Alt-Right Clashes: The times of an economic crisis and polarisation came to play here. Far-left anarchists, along with communists and white supremacists clash in southeastern United States and even Detroit itself, which was increasingly impoverished in the early-mid 2030s. Hundred thousands were arrested during this violent battlefield that lasted for few days. Many are calling the end of the United States as we know it as the NSM leader called for white supremacists to rise up when the appropriate time comes. (Soon, the US will collapse into a civil war in the late 2030s, I'm starting this up first, when the Democrats win the election in 2036 as spoilers, their chance to support the Commonwealth if the civil war continued is too late)War_Profiteers.jpg
 * Socialists/Communists Praising US Support for the Greek Civil War: Socialist Party USA spokesperson and co-chair leader Samuel Beverly said that "the US government did the right thing" but is widely criticised by the majority and people, who protest against Paul's decision to support the communists. "We are a democracy, how come we have the commies being supported and not our own democratic friends [Greek Commonwealth]?" Some are raising concerns that Ryan's goal was to create a self-interest of benefitting the US itself and leaving other nations to waste by supporting unusual allies by being fully isolated and self-reliant while corruption as he promised isn't cracked down at all after the bill to order US soldiers to drop out of the Greek Civil War. It could be the largest crisis since Watergate (and Trump) and a polarising point for US politics to take place.
 * 2034 Midterms: The Senate is given up to the Democrats once again in the midterms as Ryan's reputation and the Republicans decline significantly as a result of supporting communists, giving them big leverage to swiftly repeal Ryan's decision to support the communists but there's still a bill that has to be passed by the House of Representatives which is Republican-majority where they decided to refuse to have all US soldiers withdrawn from the Greek front and 'never intervene again', leaving it to the hands of Europeans to handle it and to appease them. Many Democrats are outraged when Ryan announced he would run for a second term after this bill failed to pass but polls suggest Ryan is at gaining 29% projected voters compared to a generic Democrat.
 * Military
 * The Greek Civil War: 40,000 extra soldiers and a fleet of some 19 ships were sent into the front to support the communists - regardless of relationship and ideological type. However all US soldiers are suddenly being ordered by local generals despite getting reinforcements to only focus on National Front militia after becoming no longer confident communist motives to fight all sides rather than being against the National Front and negotiate peace with them after insight by intelligence showing militia groups led by SYRIZA killing German and British troops in the Battle of Amaliada inside US makeshift camps. Thus these generals have decided to only support them against the National Front and only provide training to the communists to crack down these fascist militia. Many Democrats still pointed out that it doesn't help how NATO is going to react though because the US are still supporting the communists in an extent. Paul also used the Turkish accusation method used during Warren's administration at one point that the Commonwealth is aided by Turkey publicly as well due to their "intention to join and become observer member of the Turkic Pact" to further make anti-Turkish sentiment within the general population but it isn't that effective.
 * Military Technology: Handheld railguns are also on research.
 * Economy
 * The Great Recession (2033-present): The Great Recession continues, with high unemployment rates reaching 25% to 30% in average last year. Ryan decided to domestically tackle jobs through expansion of industry but because the Second Automation Boom had already started by the end of this year, unemployment is expected to reach 32%, even more dangerous as usual. Failed regulation processes had led to Ryan encouraging more to volunteer and join the military to slow down next year's dangerous unemployment rate while the universal basic income protests continue to be ignored in most aspects. A second proposed bill was being conceptualised by the Democrats should they become government again.
 * Research and Technology
 * SpaceX's Lunar/Martian Plan: Since NASA can't do much anymore last year after a major economic slump and the Congress is more interested in the military and welfare, SpaceX and other smaller US private companies have decided that they would 'control essentially US operations in space'. Then came NASA in mid-2034. NASA proposed that they would be allowed to independently operate but they would also want to assist any operations to reduce the time from the scheduled establishment of a Lunar colony in 2040 to 2038. SpaceX somehow accepted this deal but only if they get equipment and few men into space by that time, which became even more unrealistic and ambitious. Then they also want to be the first organisation/company to land on Mars by 2043, unlike Elon Musk's proposed 2024 plan which went all wrong back then.
 * Quantum Computer Technology: Still trying to commercialise this beauty.
 * AI development: Some of the money allocated by the US government has gone into researching artificial intelligence that can 'learn' certain subjects. No-one knows how it'll be developed or what the US government's purpose but they are trying to achieve assistance in developing more technologies but at the same time try to minimise the impact of employment from AI handling certain aspects.
 * Virtual Reality Training Simulator: To improve military quality in training, military generals have proposed to developers to build an extensive military training simulator that soldiers would see them almost indistinquishable from reality. They would be subjected to lessons that would happen on the occasion every seven hours out of the 150 to 250 hour work (depending on which service they're on) before being prompted by tests, according to an anonymous source. It is scheduled to finish by the end of 2036 and will only be exclusive to the US military itself.
 * Diplomacy
 * Europe: Our own interest in this war is to get rid of the Golden Dawn fascists and we need that sufficient number of troops to rid of them. However, the United States somehow made themselves even more divided with Europe, with relationships declining rapidly.
 * Italy: If you hate Turkey so much like me, then you should've exerted pressure to refrain your backed Greek Commonwealth to become observer member. Because I fear Turkey will have the Commonwealth become observer member. ((Note we only accused Turkey of having motives of taking advantage in Greece, so we don't have any confirmation of doing so asides with breakaway nations making ties))
 * People's Coalition: You should've made peace with the Commonwealth - you are literally on life support because they are supported by those with high-quality equipment and better training, we will only aid you against the National Front from now on and nothing more.
 * Commonwealth: Yeah, well sorry to break your "the US will support us because we're a democracy" bubble, we can't support you in any way. We will only come to fight together against fascists.
 * Turkey: We accuse you of supporting the Commonwealth and have motives of spreading your influence into Greece to "forge a claim that we can't support the Commonwealth" by having Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia become members, with the new Greek Commonwealth becoming observer along sending in "suspected settlers" as evidenced by the rise of Sandzhak.
 * Iranian Opposition: Despite backlash in Greece, the United States decided to do 'the right thing' by secretly funding the Iranian opposition to depose the ruling of the theocracy with more equipment than the PC in Greece. But that doesn't help the reputation of US-European/Canadian relations at all.
 * People in the US protesting against the support of the People's Coalition: We decide to ignore your pleas for the US to support the Commonwealth. (Inserting a middle finger)
