Republic of India

 * Government
 * An Election of Ages: The Indian General Election of 2019 was one the world over was watching. Ever since the Kamal Scandal, the popularity of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has been steadily falling. In their place, Sonia Gandhi's Indian National Congress is set to smash the polls. And they did. Modi's party fell like a house of cards, allowing the INC to sweep the election away and take control of the Indian government. A new Prime Minister for a new age.
 * Feminist Icon: Sonia Gandhi, already the most powerful woman in India, was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India on 26 May 2019. With this unprecedented new leader comes unprecedented times. Many Indians are tired of the long drawn diplomatic conflict with Pakistan and China, as the country shifts from a large American base of operations to a democratic bastion in Asia. The socially liberal Gandhi will make the Chinese much more happy than a nationalist Modi, and the Pakistani government is most likely pleased with the outcome too, given that this may lead to the end of hostilities, finally.
 * A Modern Age: With the rise of technology comes the rise of India. Tech icon Elon Musk is being followed closely, as his designs for a hyperloop system could solve a transportation crisis stunting Indian growth. However, this new technology is not the only solution to the problem.
 * Transportation Chaos: Prime Minister Gandhi unveils a new infrastructural program which renovates many large roads. She also convenes a council of road planners to find a solution to India's driving problem, in that many drivers are incapable of following driving safety standards. However, no plan has been confirmed yet.
 * Water resources: A new program starts this year to update old irrigation systems with modern standards, as well as improve flood control.
 * Flood Management: India has suffered from large-scale floods for a long time. It has caused so many deaths, the destruction of public property, and has especially hit rural areas hard. It also impacts economic growth, as the flood-prone areas get less investment due to the high risk of flooding. This is why the Indian government is specifically looking to combat flooding and reduce its impact by reinforcing existing schemes which mitigate these disasters.
 * Flood Damage Assessments: Flood damage assessments are now done biannually instead of annually to provide more depth and detail. They will now be done scientifically and realistically.
 * Post-project Performance Evaluations: There will now be representative, scientific and credible post-project performance evaluations of past flood management works to replace the previous informal ones.
 * Unplanned Intrusions: Unabated and unplanned intrusion into the flood plains and river beds, sometimes with the approval or acquiescence of the Indian Government has now reached alarming dimensions, and so this will now be appropriately managed to limit flood losses.
 * Irrigation: India has 15% of the world’s population but has only about 4% of the world’s freshwater resources. This is unevenly distributed. 75% of the annual precipitation occurs during the monsoon season, confined to 3-4 months per year. There are a number of problems with irrigation specifically which are also being solved.
 * Incomplete projects: The backlog of irrigation projects is ever increasing, so extra funding is diverted to this to clear this backlog and appropriately accomplish these projects.
 * Time and cost overruns: There are many delays in these projects, and these are often correlated with increases in cost. Better management will be implemented to curb this and create realistic goals for projects, not ones that can easily be overextended and cost the government more.
 * Underutilisation: There is a lot of irrigation potential being lost by lack of proper operation and maintenance, incomplete distribution systems, non-completion of CAD works, and changes from the initially designed cropping pattern and diversion of irrigable land for other purposes. This is mainly due to inadequate budget provisions, which is being fixed.
 * Military: The Indian Armed Forces are comprised of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy.
 * Indian Army: The Indian Army is comprised of 1,445,000 active personnel, 1,155,000 reserve personnel, 4,500 Combat Tanks, 3,200 Armoured Fighting Vehicles, 190 Self-Propelled Artillery, 4,200 Towed Artillery, and 270 Rocket Projectors.
 * Indian Air Force: The Indian Air Force is comprised of 139,576 personnel, 600 Fighter Aircraft, 810 Attack Aircraft, 710 Transport Aircraft, 260 Trainer Aircraft, and 15 Attack Helicopters.
 * Indian Navy: The Indian Navy is comprised of 67,228 personnel, 1 Aircraft Carrier, 14 Frigates, 11 Destroyers, 22 Corvettes, 16 Submarines, 139 Patrol Vessels, and 4 Mine Warfare Vessels.
 * Economy: This year, there is a focus on the Raw Nickel and Telephone industries, attempting to save them and boosting their growth rates. There is also a focus on reducing dependency on importing crude petroleum. The GDP of India is $2.26T and its GDP per capita is $6.57k.
 * Demographics
 * Population: 1,324,172,000
 * Growth Rate: 1.19%
 * Birth Rate: 19.3 births/1,000 population
 * Death Rate: 7.3 deaths/1,000 population
 * Life Expectancy: 69 years
 * Fertility Rate: 2.2 children born/woman
 * Infant Mortality Rate: 41 deaths/1,000 live births
 * Research
 * Indian Space Research Organisation: The ISRO unveils a new government-subsidized plan that involves launching 500 small satellites into orbit that will not only further connect India with the globe, but also provide internet to millions across Asia. India looks to China and Russia for confirmation on this project.
 * Car Communication: Using recently invented technology, India is working with car manufacturers to ensure that all new cars have wireless connectors that connect them to other vehicles. This, along with limited self-driving capabilities, is set to reduce collision fatalities by up to 80%. Many hail this move as the right one, and the project will begin next year. The government is also looking into modular designs so that they can be attached to any car for a small fee.
 * Automated Freight Transport: Although many complain that this may cause the loss of jobs in the freight industry, India has pushed ahead with the automation of freight transport. To be unveiled in 2021.
 * LED Supremacy: Incandescent light bulbs are completely banned in favour of more energy-efficient alternatives.
 * Nuclear power: Two new nuclear power plants open as India moves away from coal to become a truly nuclear-powered nation. Five more plants will be built over the next 3 years.
 * Lotus Credit System: Embracing technology, the government has adopted the Chinese credit system for itself, so that the Indian people are more connected with each other. Companies such as Facebook are left out of this due to their data-stealing aggressive attitudes. In the future, India may put penalties on Facebook to promote their own state-sponsored version. The government is also considering making voting online, so it is accessible through this app. Negotiations with technology experts are still underway.
 * Diplomacy: India seeks to protect itself but also gain valuable allies.
 * Pakistan: We have had a long history. This story has been fraught with conflict and bad decisions. Let us finally make a good one. India proposes a mutual defence pact, so if either nation is attacked, the other will honour the pact and defend their ally. This will usher in a new era of peace and stability. India is also willing to negotiate a joint administration of Jammu and Kashmir between India, Pakistan, and China. We must all be willing to give something up to push for real change and real peace. Along with this MDP, India proposes that India and Pakistan create a South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance, or SAEMA. We can invite nations such as Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, etc.
 * Bangladesh: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance? Bangladesh and India have a shared history, and this shared history is what unites us. We should put aside past differences and work together for a peaceful and prosperous future.
 * Bhutan: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance?
 * Nepal: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance?
 * Sri Lanka: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance? India and Sri Lanka are very linked, and it is important that we strengthen this link.
 * Myanmar: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance? We can collaborate on many projects and initiatives, such as resolving the Rohingya crisis, and boosting the Myanmarese economy.
 * China: Would you be willing to negotiate a joint administration of Jammu and Kashmir between India, Pakistan, and China? It will be for the good of all of our nations. Also, India is willing to sell the claimed portion of Arunachal Pradesh to eliminate all territorial disputes. India is also willing to sign a Non-Aggression Pact, and if China were to agree to it, a Mutual Defence Pact. India will stop at nothing to repair relations with China.
 * Malaysia: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance? It will be very beneficial for both of our nations. Malaysia is a beautiful country with great economic opportunities, lying on one of the most important sea routes for freight travel.
 * Philippines: Would you like to join the South-Asian Economic and Military Alliance? India is offering the Philippines this economic and military alliance as an alternative to the Americans, who only wish to retake Filipino land. Our navy will protect your waters, and our economy will supplement yours.
 * Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan: India will support and fund the formation of the East African Federation.
 * Israel: India and Israel will forever be partners.
 * Turkey: Congratulations on your surprising pivot towards peace. However, your aggressive attitude towards Russia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria is worrying. We should be focused on peace, not war. Please refrain from engaging on hostile diplomatic disputes further.
 * North Korea: This transition is a very important one, and so Indian Prime Minister Sonia Gandhi personally congratulates Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un on this move. India will definitely be willing to open up trade. We will modernise North Korea, once and for all, together.
 * Brazil: India is always happy to be working with a good friend and ally such as Brazil. Brazil and India shall always harbour good relations, and India is very willing to revive the BRICS institution, but with some changes. Instead of five countries, have twelve. China, India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Iran, Nigeria, and South Africa.
