Federal Republic of Germany

 * Government: We are a Parliamentary Republic headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Our current capital (and biggest city) is Berlin and we are one of the leaders of the European Union.
 * Population 84,609,772
 * Laws:
 * Immigration Reform: We are the second highest country with influx of immigrants and we embrace them with open arms, but as seen across Europe, we can not risk our own security and national beliefs for these immigrants. Therefore late into the year a new law was made and passed (just narrowly) that will implement a bit more harsher vetting procedures and help them find new jobs, which in turn will re-stimulate the economy after the carbon winter.
 * New Water Program: With the water being infused with carbon, we have made plans to place many large scale filtration systems and distillation stations across the country to help get clean water back to the populace.
 * Military
 * Land Forces
 * Active Troops: 178,334

 * Economy: Our economy has taken a massive dip since the carbon winter and we have needed to take on some massive reforms. A type of keynesian-style stimulus has recently been implemented during the recession, this includes increases in state investment spending and lowering taxes in certain areas that were effected the most to boost disposable income. We have also made an increase in construction jobs to get people back out there as it's one of the easiest ways to create jobs, plus going along with this we have limited the power of trade unions that sort of still exist in Germany.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Südjütland und Fünen: Please realize why we invaded you and be a good puppet please.
 * Skane: I don't see what you can offer me? Anything?
 * Events
 * Invasion of Syddanmark: Late in November the new country of Syydanmark fell into a dictatorship as the new hated president was assassinated by members of the ex-Danish army. After attempts to bring the country back to democracy failed, the German army marched across the old Danish-German border, with political assistance from the remaining NATO countries, to make sure the country in the future didn't interfere with the now fragile Scandinavian politics, and to make sure the dictatorship didn't do anything funny in the future. The war was quickly ended two days before Christmas. The peace stated that the border towns with German minorities would be annexed into Germany proper while the rest of the country would become the German puppet state of Südjütland und Fünen.

 * Germany, Poland: Military and Research agreement?
 * Stockholm: Buddies?

Kingdom of Akershus:

 * Backstory:
 * Government: Ever since the collapse of the Scandinavian nations, the government of Akershus has been an absolute monarchy under the Brekke dynasty, its first ruler being Håvard.
 * Military: After the formation of the Akershusi military, King Håvard I introduced a sort of Council of Generals, consisting of the five best military generals in the nation, bringing them together to decide upon the military when Håvard couldn't show up. These five generals include Otto Rendahl, Bjørn Svendsen, Mathias Belgum, Christer Rasch, and Rebekka Laake.
 * Laws:
 * Abortion: Abortion was made strictly illegal by Brekke, and will only be legal in cases of rape. If the parent does not want your child or does not have the ability to care for the child, they would put it up for adoption. To compensate for this, adoption agencies are greatly improved for the children that are living there, and any adoption agencies not taking proper care of the children situated in the homes will have their owners arrested and sentenced to five years in prison under charges of child neglect
 * Unemployment: A program similar to Nazi Germany's Reichsarbeitsdienst was set up in order to deal with unemployment, named the Norskarbeiderparti.


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: Brekke introduced many policies in order to improve the economy of Akershus after the Carbon Winter. The first policy is to increase interest rates through the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve's rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the government, but, in order to make money, they must lend it at higher rates. So, when the Federal Reserve increases its interest rate, banks have no choice but to increase their rates as well. When banks increase their rates, less people want to borrow money because it costs more to do so if that money accrues interest. So, spending drops, prices drop and inflation slows. The second method is to increase reserve requirements on the amount of money banks are legally required to keep on hand to cover withdraws. The more money banks are required to hold back, the less they have to lend to consumers. If they have less to lend, consumers will borrow less, which will decrease spending. The third method is to directly or indirectly reduce the money supply by enacting policies that encourage reduction of the money supply. Two examples of this include calling in debts that are owed to the government and increasing the interest paid on bonds so that more investors will buy them. The latter policy raises the exchange rate of the currency due to higher demand and, in turn, increases imports and decreases exports. Both of these policies will reduce the amount of money in circulation because the money will be going from banks, companies and investors pockets and into the government’s pocket where they can control what happens to it.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: boring stuff.
 * Demographics: Mostly Norwegian, although there are some (yet very few) Polish, Pakistani, Swedish, and Lithuanian minorities.
 * Development/Standards of Living: some more random stuff
 * Population: The population stood at 1,674,883 people before the invasions of Vestfold, Østfold and Buskerud, but now stands at 2,472,525 people (after the invasions).


 * Research and Development:
 * Artificial Photosynthesis: One out of three and a half turns complete.


 * Military:
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Conquer of Oslofjord: The Norwegian minors of Vestfold, Østfold, and Buskerud have been sent a declaration of war citing 'reconquest' and 'border friction' as the two casus belli. 20,000 soldiers are sent into each minor, with Vestfold and Østfold quickly falling into our hands due to their small population and size. Buskerud is a tiny bit more of a problem due to them being larger in area than both of the former combined, and thus 35,000 are sent instead. However, this does not mean they are weaker than us in any way, and are quickly occupied. All three are annexed completely. Also, with the retaking of the Oslofjord, the nation is renamed to the Kingdom of Oslofjord.


 * Royal Forsvaret: After the Norwegian collapse, most military bases (and some equipment) were stationed around the Oslofjord area, and with the retaking of surrounding minors, Akershus/Oslofjord is now easily the dominant Norwegian minor.
 * Royal Hær:  Oslofjord's Royal Hær consists of:
 * 60,000 active, frontline personnel
 * 35,250 reserve personnel
 * 47 combat tanks
 * 850 armored fighting vehicles
 * 35 self-propelled artillery
 * 125 towed-artillery
 * 2 multiple-launch rocket systems


 * Royal Marinen: The Oslofjordan navy consists of:
 * 15,000 active, frontline personnel
 * 5,750 reserve personnel
 * 3 frigates
 * 1 destroyer
 * 2 corvettes
 * 4 submarines
 * 9 coastal defense craft
 * 3 ships suitable for mine warfare


 * Royal Luftstyrke: The Luftstyrke, or air force, consists of:
 * 35 fighter aircraft
 * 40 attack aircraft
 * 25 transport aicraft
 * 15 trainer aircraft
 * 45 helicopters
 * 1 attack helicopter


 * Diplomacy:
 * Germany: We request a research union, and promise that the Norwegian government, once restored, will transition into a constitutional monarchy that will be fair and democratic towards its people.
 * Etelä-Suomi: Research union.
 * Stockholm: Research union and alliance.

Armed Ladogan Movement

 * Government: An authoritarian dictatorship is set up, with Gryaznov Vladislav Fyodorovich (Slava Fyodorovich) as President. President Fyodorovich is the Governor of Saint Petersburg, and so he uses his powers to proclaim the Ladogan Confederation. His forces mobilize under his command.
 * Economy: The economy halted slightly, so President Fyodorovich stopped all movement out of Saint Petersburg and forced everyone to keep working. This restarted the economy and the ALM can continue to import weaponry from Europe.
 * Research: President Fyodorovich presses the Ladogan scientific community to research Artificial Photosynthesis. On their own, it is estimated to take 14 months. However, President Fyodorovich is looking to score research agreements with their friendly Baltic neighbours (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) so that the same research can be achieved in all four countries in just 8 months.
 * Military: There are 6 million citizens in Saint Petersburg. Manpower is at 3 million, and 2 million are fit-for-service. 56,400 reach military age every year. The ALM has 135,000 total forces, having 31,900 active forces and 103,100 reserve forces. The ALM's Air Force has 33 Fighter Aircraft, 60 Attack Aircraft, 47 Transport Aircraft, 16 Training Aircraft, and 21 Attack Helicopters. The ALM's Ground Force has 842 Combat Tanks, 1304 Armoured Fighting Vehicles, 248 Self-Propelled Artillery, 193 Towed Artillery, and 158 Rocket Projectors. The ALM's Naval Force has 3 Corvettes, 3 Submarines, 1 Patrol Craft, and 2 Mine Warfare Vessels.

NPC Events (Turn I)

 * Ostfold & Buskerud: Rebellions broke out but was quickly ended because of Oslofjorden military presence.
 * København: They appreciates Germany's protection.
 * Russia: Russia collapses as several regions declare independence. Russia is divided up into Smolensk, Kaliningrad, Novgorod, Karelia and St. Petersburg.
 * Estonia: For the greater good, we accept your proposal, Ladogan.
 * Lithuania: I'll just follow Estonia and help Ladogan. I've made some random filters with special ingredients "tin" from the far lands of Tinland... I don't know where it is, my dealer won't tell me where he gets it.
 * Hedmark: Europa Universalis IV becomes the best-seller game in the midst of the aftermath.
 * Netherlands: WEED SHIPMENT 4 LIFE!
 * Gotland: Accepts Åland's offer!

Turn II (January - April 2023 AD)
'''START WRITING YOUR TURN. TURN ENDS IN JULY 8TH, 15:00 UTC.'''



Lore (Turn II):
Scania’s research in what caused the Carbon Winter has brought up something interesting.

Operation: Fjord, although hasn’t been established for long, has discovered a system resembling a large device near Malmö. The contraption is beyond repair but interesting details were taken from it. It consists of a few filters, which appears to be breached, two interconnected medium-sized containers and a pipe to connect one of them to the outside. The exterior and interior of the system is completely coated with a layer of carbon, or more specifically, coal and some more carbon compounds.

The machine itself seems to be a victim of the Carbon Winter.

Swedish Unitary Legion | Jan Mayen Corporatocratic Sweden (proclaimed name)
WIP WIP
 * Lore: Some of our members are former comrades of the Paradox Interactive but due to the so-called Carbon WInter, eventually Scandinavia broke to anarchy and some employees have fled to Jamtland in some bunker for few months but now we have enough funding and with local cooperation even without Jamtland support and other "refugees" (actually those who want to fight), we fully begin setting a course to taking over all of Jamtland and profit their resources.
 * Military: There are at least 7,200 members in SUL (they are all available for arms) and Jamtland is estimated to hold 130,000 people which is enough for the northern regions of Sweden but not for the southern as they have a stronger manpower force
 * 4,000 militia
 * 30 stolen tanks
 * 10 stolen artillery (not rocket artillery)
 * 200 "armoured" cars (100% of these are from members of SUL)
 * 1 arbitrary plane
 * Operations: The worst SUL operation names you'll ever remember.
 * Operation Camp Lakebottom (Controlling Ostersund): As the first months of 2023 starts, we have to ensure that Ostersund - the capital of Jamtland - is under our control. All of our militia and equipment are nearly focused on that particular city, the rest have insignificant use. By March 2023, the city of Ostersund falls to our rule and some of the military personnel however had escaped to rural areas in guerrilla warfare
 * Operation Captain America (Rural War against Jamtland): A rural war is being taken care of, due to the control of Ostersund, the military of Jamtland went into the forest where we have to fight over it. The conflict continues into April and May which could take a while before eliminating all of them and show Jamtland the former company paradox Interactive what they are made of.
 * Funding and Economy: We get most fundings from smuggling resources in the black market of Scandinavia and also tax from residents once we control districts and towns.
 * Research (a.k.a. hacking): Artificial Photosynthesis, obviously. Uh.... 12 months I guess.
 * Diplomacy: We ain't doing diplomacy here.

Kingdom of Hordaland

 * Government: A Constitutional Mornachy ruled by Janus Janssen
 * Military: While Oslofjord/any other threat is waiting to invade us, I shall MILITARIZE. Biggest problem we need MANPOWER.
 * Land:
 * 50,257 active land infantry
 * about 10k reserve infantry.
 * 45 artillery available (15 are mobile artillery)
 * 156 armored vehicle
 * 14 M113F4 Armoured Personnel Carriers
 * 6 Leopard 2A4 left from pre-Carbon Winter times.
 * 1 NASAMS 2 for air defense.
 * Navy: Since the Haakonsvern harbor at Bergen was the main navy harbor of Norway (or at least that's what wikipedia says), we found a number of battleships still in quite good condition
 * 8,064 active personnel
 * 2,462 reserve personnel
 * NoCGV Bergen patrol ship.
 * 3 minesweeper and 3 minehunter ships
 * 3 submarines
 * 1 destroyer
 * 3 frigates (modern ones, not the one in Civ V)
 * 4 corvettes
 * Air Force
 * 18 fighter aircraft
 * 15 attack aircraft
 * 15 transport aicraft
 * 21 helicopters
 * 1 attack helicopter
 * Laws: We illegalize abortion due to our population is already low and we need to keep the growth. Also we try to create more jobs for people because we need better economy. The population is encouraged to have kids, for the sake of population.


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: Second problem WE ARE BROKE (jk not really). The economy is still bad, but fish trade and domestic industry has got it up a little bit. Efforts are being made to reduce inflation. We also have to import food from the Dutch and plant more potatoes.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: We are in a process of repairing damaged buildings and re-start public transport (aka buses)
 * Demographics: Norwegian (and Icelandic after invasion of Iceland)
 * Development/Standards of Living: idk kinda bad because toxic air and water.
 * Population: About 560 thousand at the end of Turn I, approximately 900 thousand after the invasion of Iceland and about a little over 1 million after the invasion of Sogn og Fjordane.


 * Research and Development:
 * Artificial Photosynthesis: Finished (2/2) (due to a research agreement w/ Norrbotten, Lapland and Germany)


 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Invasion of Iceland: At the start of WWII Britain invaded "small Iceland" to protect it. We have to do the same with it, but not because we want to protect. On January 4th, 2023, 3000 soldiers from Bergen are transported to Iceland and begin to attack. Without a proper standing army (like in real life), Reykjavik surrenders at January 7th and the whole nation is under Hordaland rule two weeks later.  The 3000 soldiers are commanded to stay in Iceland to keep watch on possible rebellions.
 * Invasion of Sogn og Fjordane: Sogn og Fjordane was a small Norwegian minor (smaller than us in terms of population). We initially send 3,000 men to invade the area. The operation starts on February 14th, 2023 (ironic? i don't think so)
 * Attack on Vik: The small town of Vik on our border is the shortest way to their capital Leikanger. 3,000 soldiers are commanded to take over the town. The town is gained after 2 days of fighting, however, their armies prepare a counterattack so we have to give orders to another 6,000 men to support. The town of Vik fell into Hordaland control on February 18.
 * Battle of Leikanger: The Battle of Leikanger takes place at the town of Leikanger (duh) and 7,800 soldiers in the 9,000 that comes take part in the battle. The remaining 1,200 is stationed to take over other surrounding towns and secure Vik. We encountered heavy resistance by the remnants of the Sogn og Fjordane army at the small town of Leikanger but managed to storm the town hall (which is the capital building) of the city after 18 hours of fighting.
 * Every irrelevant other stuff in the war: We sent another 3000 men to help with taking over the other towns. All of Sogn og Fjordane fell under Hordaland control by early March. Of all 12,000 men that took part in the invasion, about 800 died and about more than 1300 men got injured. We leave some of our armies there to prevent any rebellion from breaking out.

P.S. No one realizes I made 3 Kilian Experience references.

 * Artificial Photosynthesis: Two out of three and a half turns complete.


 * Military:
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Operation Sørkysten: Declarations of war are sent to the minors of Telemark, Aust-Agder, Vest-Agder, and Rogaland, citing Reconquest as the casus belli. Our force of 95,000 men quickly move into each, occupying the first three with ease (and soon annexing a few weeks later), and the last minor being halfway occupied by the end of the month. We demand a surrender from Rogaland, as we've only lost 15,000 men and they have lost nearly 35,000 - almost half of their army.

Federal Republic of Germany

 * Government: We are a Parliamentary Republic headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Our current capital (and biggest city) is Berlin and we are one of the leaders of the European Union.
 * Populaion 84,609,905
 * Laws:
 * Scandinavian Peace Act: The Scandinavian Peace Act was thought of after all the wars blew up in the now shattered states. The act guarantees that people fleeing the new countries would be accepted into the country with open arms after a vetting process. They would also be able to work and do what the EU does. The second part of the act was that if any country found to violating human rights, we're to be instantly faced with hard German sanctions and a swift liberation war. Also since most of these countries really wouldn't be in the UN yet, we are completely allowed to do this outside the UN protocol.

 * Economy: Our economy has started to recover, it is still very far behind what it was pre-carbon winter levels but it is slowly increasing with the increase of workable immigrants.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Belarus: We urge them not to accept Ladogan's offer, as they would be joining a new unorganized, war-mongerer nation, and potentially unstable nation. I mean look they already have taken over a nation in less then almost a month, do you want your peoples blood spilled in many wars that you wouldn't have any influence if it was started or not? Plus three of you are already in NATO still, you have enough protection as it is and all the German exports you could want.
 * Ladogan: Back off the Baltics, I'm not willing to give up such important countries and ports on the Baltic Sea. This is not an warning, this is an ultimatium, you want a war with countries that are much more powerful and stable then you are?
 * Skåne: Back off of Kaliningrad, either I will buy it off of you or there may be worse consequences.
 * Events
 * Südjütland und Fünen-Midtjylland Union Offer: This offer it basically to make some parts of Denmark, back more into old Denmark. We ask Midtjylland to join our puppet state Südjütland und Fünen, to form The New Danish Republic, along with this offer we agree if they were to unite they would become a full fledged independent country once again but still with the presence of German influence to make sure nothing bad happens.
 * Tech Research: I guess we just study Artificial Photosynthesis, we also have research agreements with Aland and Hordaland. 2/2 (aka Finished)

 * Kidnapping Eric von Schweetz: We actually kidnapped him a while ago as he is randomly trekking in the forests of Sweden and now he might want to regret it... and we force him to fight and become a suicide bomber to "bomb" Harnosand to hell and signal fight. (Why? I hate him anyway)
 * Establishing State Company: We establish a state company and manage all the resources, media and stuff over there. Any other material is not allowed except those before 2017, anything onwards or have any "decadent" material will be confiscated and destroyed.

 * Operation Howard Stern: We use full force against Vasternorrland with all of our militia (except 1,000 of them), our trained soldiers however remain standing put in defence because they are strong. We focus on the capital of Harnosand for various reasons and one is to dump Eric von Schweetz and remote control his suicide bombing material to signal invasion. Then all of our militia pours into the region despite winter which could take about few months to finish up. By the end of September, Harnosand is besieged but we suffer 2,000 casualties
 * Economy: State company does all the economy in the black market plus revenue from citizens.

With global technology level now at Artificial Photosynthesis, we have finally concluded what it is.

It's an air filter machine, adopting the same concept.

But it appears that the machine failed.

There might be more of them outside.

Corporatocratic Sweden

 * Government: No changes yet. Our motto is now "Liberty or death" (Americans must be furious over it, but I was referring to VMRO cringe from the modern Macedonian/Vardar region)

 * Police State Act: By passing the Police State Act, at least 10,000 reserve militia will be deployed to every town and city, also being trained with loyalty, any potential rebellion will be slowly reduced. If all else fails, 1,000 of the semi-professional soldiers will be deployed to stop the civilians from attempting to resist the rule of the new "Sweden".

 * Research: Artificial photosynthesis, 3.5 to 4 months (no u kms)
 * Diplomacy: I said it before, we ain't had enough diplomacy so don't do it. Even if you guarantee some nation, no deal.

 * Analytics:
 * Economy: Efforts are being made to reduce inflation. We still have to import food from the Dutch (cuz we poor) and plant more potatoes. Gradually our economy goes up. Also the weed trade is great. Probably the Dutch is benefiting from it.

 * Demographics: Norwegian, Icelandic
 * Development/Standards of Living: a bit better cuz done with Artificial Photosynthesis. The water is great now.
 * Population: about 1.6 million after the invasion of Nord-Trøndelag
 * Laws: With expanding weed trade from the Dutch, we make them legal for people over 18 years old as a rehabilitation medium. Minors caught smoking weed will spend 4 months doing community service. Also we legalize planting weed for personal use.
 * Research and Development:
 * Water Decarbonization: 2/2 (3 RAs) (Finished)
 * Wars and Conflicts: Invasion of Nord-Trøndelag
 * Invasion of Nord-Trøndelag coastline: Since we don't have land connection, we issue invasion via coast. 24 thousand soldiers are commanded and divided evenly to the coastline of Nord-Trøndelag. We face resistance from the local army but we crush them easily with our overwhelming manpower. The coastline is lost on October 14.
 * Invasion of mainland Nord-Trøndelag: 22,436 soldiers continue to march into Nord-Trøndelag and fight off opposing soldiers. On October 31 (coincidence?) we forced Steinkjer to surrender, thus having control over Northern Trøndelag. Other cities including Stjørdal surrender to Vestlandet on the first week of November.
