Izmirian Federation

 * Military: Thanks to a new program that allows for men and women to gain benefits after serving in the army, the army of Izmir has increased in population, with approx. 150,000 foot soldiers, 175 tanks, and 800 planes. Thanks to powerful shipbuilding, 75 new boats have been added to the grand total of 400.
 * Government: Ayla Aydın of the United Party has been elected prime minister of a minority. She proposes a powerful navy that can influence all nations on the banks of the Mediterranean, which increases her popularity in the eyes of the public. Zohra Aksoy is still president.
 * Science and Tech: Izmir has not improved much in this category.
 * Infrastructure: Thanks to the booming shipbuilding industry, an expansion of the docks of Izmir is underway.
 * Education: Education in the capital and Nazili is still top-notch, with 98% of the population literate. However, in the countryside, literacy rates are slightly lower, at 70%. A plan is created to increase education rates in the rural areas.
 * Economy: Business and wealth in the region is at its best in 70 years, with the newly-expanded shipbuilding industry booming the economy.
 * Conflict: Pirates of Rhodes Island have raided parts of the dock. In respone, Izmir stages an invasion of the island.


 * April: Rodos, the capital of the pirates, is invaded, along with several other northern portions of the island
 * May: The centre of the island, along with Lindos and Monolithos, is invaded.
 * June: The rest of the island is invaded, with the pirates surrendering in Macheria, sparking the end of the war.
 * Treaty of Monolithos: The Rhodes Island pirates are forced to cede all their land to Izmir. Signed, Izmirian Prime Minister Ayla Aydin, and pirate captain Aristotle Ambrosia.
 * Diplomacy: Izmir formerly was going through a stage of isolation, but thanks to the industry, Izmir has proposed new relations with the nations of the sea.


 * Athens: Izmir proposes good trading relations with Athens to decrease the chances of warfare. It is not known if they approve of this relationship.
 * Istanbul: Izmir proposes better relations and naval access with the kingdom, in exchange for Istanbul's own naval access through Izmir waters (it is known that Athens has not-so great relations with Istanbul) however it is not known if they accept.
 * Judea, Cyprus, Cirenacia, Tripoltania, Crete: Izmir proposes a military and trading alliance with these nations in response to Karaman and Mashriq's increased relations. All but Crete accept. Crete wishes to stay neutral.
 * Antalya: Relations with Antalya are at an all time low. Antalya has positioned more and more troops at the border, and in response, Izmir put a naval blockade on part of Antalya's shores along with more troops at the border. War is expected for the two nations on the next turn.
 * Ankara: Relations have greatly improved between us, and talks for unification have begun. These talks should come to fruition once the two nations share a common border.
 * Karaman: Relations with this nation have started to collapse, as Karaman looks away from the Aegean Sea and into the Armenian Plateau.
 * Demographics: 


 * Population The population continues to grow slightly, with refugees and migrants coming in from neighboring Antalya, thanks to the discriminatory government in place there. A new campaign to increase childbirth has been put in place for the nation.
 * Religion: The religion of Izmir is mostly Muslim, at about 95%. Several minority Orthodox Christians do reside in Izmir, however the graceful government allows them to freely practice their religion.
