January 10th, 2019 (n-m) - Japan, South Korea in exile, Republic of China (Taiwan), DOTC, UK & crown (including Canada), and NATO hold a summit in Yorkshire, UK. They discuss how they are at quite a disadvantage with DOTC getting pushed further back in the Mid-West, China having the ability to overrun Japan if they wish, and the two-front war in Europe. Canada unveils the invasion plans to the group, requesting Mexico join. The group, plus Mexico, forms the Global Democratic Alliance (GDA), or the Allies. It is an extension of NATO planned to last for the war, allowing better communication and planning for the war effort. They agree to let the summit continue for several days to plan a counter-attack against the pro-Russia countries, and to give Mexico time to join the summit.

January 16th, 2019 (n-m) - Japan, South Korea in exile, and ROC devise a plan to undermine China, an essential ally of Russia in the war. They decide to hack China's censored internet and flood it with propaganda against the communist government sometime in the next few weeks. They hope they can instigate protests like Tiananmen Square and start a popular rebellion against the Chinese government. They decide to give their hackers a few weeks to work out China's systems and figure out the best way to compromise the censorship. They want to give the Chinese government a hard time removing the propaganda and restoring the censorship, so the propaganda sticks for as long as possible.
