Azeri-Turk Republic/ATR (formal) | Aratian Republic/Aras (informal)
 * Government: The presidential elections were held last year, and Erdogan won by a landslide. He promises to 'Make Turkic Great Again!', following the Trump's iconic slogan. The Treaty of Iskenderun is signed in Iskenderun, and it proclaims the official end of ISIS. The Acts of Isparta come into effect, and The War of Isparta is declared against Bulgaria, which is occupied by the end of the year.
 * Treaty of Iskederun: The Treaty of Iskenderun deals with ISIS. Aras will annex their occupied lands in both Iraq and Syria AND the port of Latakia in return for war reparations from Aras. Aras will offer an Non-aggression pact request to Syria, and it will reopen borders once everything settles down. Also, Aras will make sure nobody threatens Syria, though this does not mean it is an Aratian protectorate.
 * Acts of Isparta: Aras welcomes Bosnia, Malta, and Tunisia into protectorateship, and promises that they will protect them from any outside forces, prominently Italy or Serbia. Aras also condemns Italy's invasions of Albania, Croatia, and Slovenia, but does not take any military action.
 * Bosnia: Bosnia is welcomed as Erdogan and the foreign minister visit Sarajevo. Bosnia was Erdogan's first stop in him visiting the states of the Acts. Erdogan and Bosnia's president discuss trade and freedom of movement as well as the clauses of being a protectorate. Aras is scheduled to send Bosnia economic help, especially now as Bosnia used to rely on Croatia for trade through boats, but now with it being invaded by Italy, it can no lonher depend on Croatia. Plans are made for the Neum, the only city on the coast of Bosnia, to be developed into a major trading hub for Bosnia.
 * Malta: Malta is welcomed by Aras in Valetta, Erdogan's second stop. Aras' main concern with Malta is Italy, so Aras will send some battleships on Malta's north coast to help. Flights to and from Malta and Aras become daily.
 * Tunisia: Tunisia is welcomed in Tunis, Erdogan's third and last stop. Tunisia and Aras discuss opening the border with the Overseas Territory of Libya, which has started applying for territory status. Defensive initiatives are also taken against Italy in case of an invasion.
 * War of Isparta: Because Bulgaria has denied to join into protectorateship by Aras, Aras declares war on them in late march. 150,000 troops stationed in Edirne and Kirklareli march across the border and begin to invade Bulgaria. another 200,000 troops stay in Aras to defend and go into Bulgaria if needed. Burgas, Plovdiv, and Varna are easily taken over. By the end of the year, All of Bulgaria is captured and, in november, Sofia capitulates to Aratian forces.
 * Second Acts of Isparta: The Second Acts of Isparta deal with the partition of Bulgaria. The provinces of Burgas, Silven, Yambol, Haskovo, Stara Zagora, Plovdiv, Kardzhali, Pazardzhik, and Smolian will be annexed into Aras as the territory of Eastern Rumelia. The rest of Bulgaria EXCLUDING the province of Blagoevgrad will form the Aratian State of Bulgaria, and FYROM + Blagoevgrad will form the Aratian State of Western Rumelia, both being satellite states of Aras. Screen_Shot_2016-11-09_at_7.02.25_PM.png
 * Military: The military continues to grow due to conscriptions for the War of Isparta, but at a much slower pace. After Bulgaria, Erdogan has said that Aras will try not to be too
 * Economy: The economy stays relatively the same, but the government begins to make attempts at increasing tourism, especially in the south and west coasts and Cyprus. Aras also begins plans for the Trans-Caspian Highway, which will connect Aras to Turkmenistan and, ultimately, the rest of the Turkic Council.
 * Trans-Caspian Highway: After being mere rumours for the past two year, the Aratian government and Turkic Council chairman announces that the Gurgan-Guwlymayak Causeway or Trans-Caspian Highway will be built in cooperation by the governments of the Turkic Council and possible the Aras-Egypt-Iran Alliance. A highway will be built from the eastern tip of Azerbaijan to the western coast of Turkmenistan, and will thus connect Aras to the rest of the Turkic Council. In the future, The Turkic Council even hopes to undergo a massive land reclamation project to make an artificial land bridge that expands upon the highway.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Turkic Council: Relations increase, and the countries become increasingly interconnected. Aras encourages the countries of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to negotiate with Tajikistan to sort out the enclave situation between the three.
 * Egypt, Iran: Relations increase.
 * Syria: Non-aggression pact is offered, and Aras begins to help Syria with war reparations
 * Bulgaria: War is declared.
 * Italy, Congo: Denounced by the government.
