The Future Reloaded (Map Game)



This map game is created by starring94, as the fourth installation of the The Future map games (the predecessors being The Future, The Future Revived, and The Future: Collapse (Map Game)), in order to have a fresh start. The current year is still 2015, and the players still have to solve problems, like ISIS and a few others. If you want to join, request it in the comment section.

Rules

 * Don't do something unbelievable, like invading New Zealand invading Switzerland.
 * Please be fair, don't make coalitions against players, or if you do, you shouldn't leave them in the dark.
 * In order for wars to be short (in order for not making them World War long), try to make a peace agreement when you can.
 * Only one country is allowed per player, and each turn equals to 3 days and 1 year in game time. Any person who doesn't complete their turn will be skipped. If you are skipped three times, you are kicked out of the game.
 * Try to be reasonable. You can't annex (with reason of course) areas bigger than Belgium, and you can only occupy an area around the size of Portugal at max (but that will exhaust your army).
 * Nukes are allowed, but you shouldn't use them as other countries will attack you.
 * As usual, the world alliances/organizations will start to crumble during the starting year.
 * Do not edit the page unless you are staff and / or doing your turn.

Mod Events

 * The international organization start to crumble all across the world at the end of the year. The European Union is disbanded (the first to leave it was the UK), NATO also ends, although its still there in America. Problems start to happen between the BRICS members too. Due to other countries dissatisfaction about the UN Security Council, the United Nations also ends. Some treaties, like the Nuclear Treaty still remain.
 * Virtual Reality...having been something of a gimmick in the 1980s, it is now becoming a serious tool for business, leisure, education and training. Much of the content in these 3D environments is user-generated, with online communities for sharing and exchanging virtual objects, buildings, avatars, etc. Among the hardware configurations to emerge is a circular treadmill-like interface, allowing players to move freely and naturally in all directions.
 * On 1st January 2015, Lithuania officially adopts the euro as its currency, replacing the litas and becoming the 19th Eurozone country. The euro had previously been expected to replace the litas in 2007, but the economic crisis and persistent high inflation – reaching 11% in October 2008, well above the acceptable limit of 4.2% – delayed Lithuania's adoption. In July 2014, the Council of the European Union agreed that Lithuania met its entry criteria and would be allowed to adopt the euro as its currency. As the European Union splits, the litas needs to be readopted along with other countries' old currencies, like the franc, lira, marc, etc.
 * Despite indications of recovery, the global economy remains in a fragile state. While growth is strongest in developing countries, it is still slower than during the pre-crisis period. A cautious attitude and ongoing aversion to risk mean that business confidence is tepid – especially in the EU, which has borne the brunt of this disruption. There is continued political and social unrest in the southern European countries of Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain, where debt continues to spiral. US is showing signs of recovery, China is growing as a superpower in the global economy. Other states are starting to enter the oppurtunity for global supremacy from the Great Recession, mainly Chile, Israel, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey. Who are capable of growing into superpowers if time plays them right.
 * On 10th September 2015, Elizabeth II becomes the longest reigning monarch in British history – surpassing the record held by Victoria, her great-great grandmother. Having ascended to the throne on 6th February 1952, Elizabeth II has now reigned for 63 years and 217 days.
 * Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range solar-powered aircraft project, led by Swiss psychiatrist and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard (who co-piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop) and Swiss businessman André Borschberg. In 2015, they aim to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power.
 * The first phase of Masdar City – a $22 billion eco-project – is completed in 2015. This huge development is located outside of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Entirely pre-planned and self-contained, it is the world's first carbon neutral, zero waste and fully sustainable city. A multitude of green technologies are utilised – including the largest solar power plant in the Middle East, rooftop photovoltaics, wind farms, geothermal sources and a hydrogen power plant. The city's water needs are fulfilled by a solar-powered desalination plant. There are extensive recycling systems too.
 * The first in a new generation of US aircraft carriers is launched this year. The Gerald R. Ford-class replaces the aging Nimitz-class which has been in service since 1975. This new class of ship includes some major improvements over previous generations. These include: increased automation, electromagnetic aircraft launch systems to replace previous steam mechanisms, increased stealth, a new type of nuclear reactor for more efficient power consumption, high tech radar and flight control, as well as the ability to carry the new F-35 Lightning II fighter jet. Ten carriers are commissioned in total, at a cost of $14bn each (including research and development). The 10th and final ship is launched by 2040.

NPC Moves

 * Islamic State in Syria: Despite the airstrikes conducted by multiple countries, the IS keeps advancing in Syria, and even worse, the Syrian goverment is focusing in destroying the last remaining moderate rebels instead of fighting IS. As for the Kurds, they manage to resist against IS's expansion, however, by the end of the year, the IS launches a full-scale attack on the Kurd city of Kobanî, starting the Second Siege of Kobanî.
 * Islamic State in Iraq:  In the other hand, the IS is getting weaker and weaker in Iraq due to coordinated attacks from Iraqi and Kurdish forces. Most of the IS militants in Iraq have either fleed to Syria or retreated to Mosul.
 * Islamic State in Libya:  The IS captures the city of Derna and manages to keep control of it aftee some clashes with other islamist groups and the Libyan goverment. After this overhelming victory, the IS starts to expand into Cyrenaica.
 * Turkey:  As Erdogan sees the total chaos that Syria has become, he secretly prepares a full-scale intervention for the next year, with the real objective being the full annexation of Syria, using the excuse of fighting IS. Thousands of troops are recuited for the operation. The code name of the entire operation is "Operation Aleppo".
 * Iran:  As NATO and UN cease to exist, the Iranian goverment decides to take advantage of it by invading the small nation of Kuwait in order to "secure their nuclear program", Saudi Arabia sends a warning to Iran, however they know they can't really beat Iran with NATO out of the global scenario and the Gulf Cooperation Council disbanded, so instead of trying to liberate Kuwait they impose sanctions on Iran and they call the international community to do the same. Israel,  in the other hand, demands Iran to stop their conquest or they will take extreme measures. Iran ignores the warning and annexes Kuwait 1 month after the invasion.
 * WIP

Player Events
invaded by Trieste HQ and its army and took 4 months to capture half of Slovenia and probably Ljubjana.
 * Italy (WIP)
 * Military: Going out on a conquest of Croatia and Slovenia for Istria, probably a historical Italian region in the past is now a priority but they decide to invade them for Dalmatia, Istria and half of Slovenia. Seeing that NATO collapsed, they can finally re-expand their empire once again. Other than that, they increase the number of reserves and active soldiers to strengthen the numbers against the weak forces of them.
 * Summary in military (starting off Italy's military with the website globalfirepower.com being used as main source and altered slightly over time with some slight additions and modifications):
 * Italy:
 * Land forces: 400,000 active soldiers, 586 tanks, 300 anti-tanks, 92 artillery
 * Navy forces: 2 aircraft carriers, 14 frigates, 4 destroyers, 5 battleships, 10 submarines and 4 navy transport
 * Air forces: WIP
 * Other: 80,000 reserve
 * Diplomacy: Nothing currently.
 * Intervention against Islamic State: They are currently sending out airstrikes to target IS militants in Syria to aid Kurds but not Assad's regime since they are tyrannical. They can't do anything in Libya and they seem to be heading for Benghazi one said. But they began launching an operation to annex Tripolitana and Cyrenaica as colonies but using IS as the target so basically waiting is the only choice, with IS taking over North Libya, we can swoop in and annex North Libya but it will be a huge secret
 * Economy: Doing well because it is a developed country but wars would stop the growth immediately. Their ultimate goal is to make their economy strong enough, paying off loans and have a sanction or embargo proofed nation but so far they can't do anything to do so than acquiring territories for later uses.
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * War against Croatia and Slovenia: Many troops are deployed in June and took over Istria in just 2 months. The Slovenian front is

President Obama decides in early 2015 to change the American military to a more organized and powerful structure. Set to be complete next year, the system has four parts: Navy, Air Force, Armored, and Army. The Navy has 10 aircraft carriers, 121 destroyers and other combat/transport/supply ships (I checked on wikipedia), and 73 submarines. The navy is split into 3 parts. Four carriers, 37 subs, and 54 destroyers become The US Atlantic Navy, or USAN for short: 1 carrier, 12 subs, and 23 battleships are sent to the Mediterranean, and the rest are sent to the Pacific Fleet. During the journey, each ship will be rearmed with new turrets and radar in order to have the ability to find sinking boats and enemy vessels. The UNAC (US Air Corps) is also founded. The USAC has about 6,650 military planes, including bombers, fighter jets, and transports. Obama agrees on a new fighter jet to be developed. The jet, called a Hydra Fighter Jet, or HFJ for short, is a jet that has a hover mode, advanced missiles and sonar radar to destroy infantry and mech. The USAD (US Armored Division) is massively reduced due to the huge number of tanks that were not needed. The number of main battle tanks is now at 6,400. A new light armored waterproof tank is made. This tank is called the LAT (Light Armored Tank), and is able to move faster than the tanks with light armor. Both the MBTs and LATs are upgraded with the advanced sonar and new missiles that can do massive damages to enemy positions. The US Army has 1.4 million active soldiers, with a further 900,000 in reserve. The infantry is completely redone. The army will be divided into 14 separate divisions of 100,000 men. The armor is upgraded with a Mopp 2 Armor plate, able to withstand 2 shots, and is lightweight. The back has a pocket in which a day's provisions can be stored. Helmets are also reworked into a less bulky design, allowing more maneuvering in the corps. The newest assault rifle, called the X-1, is given to the army. The rifle is accurate and parts can be switched, allowing for snipers and shock troops to have the same weapon. A new type of ammunition, called the USA1, shatters on impact and fries the insides of the target. Congress decides to move American corporations such as Apple and Nike back to the United States. Apple becomes based in California and Hawaii, while Nike moves to the territory of Puerto Rico and Louisiana. All property in America owned by Chinese corporations are kicked out. The economy begins to improve faster due to these actions. Obama decides to make each state create food and a certain resource. For example, California will supply wheat and mechanics. Texas would supply oil and weapons. This would create an organized economy, and the plan is implemented in late 2015. The United States, in May, declares total war against both the Assad regime of Syria and ISIS, declaring support for the Free Syrian Army. The Mediterranean Navy blockades the Syrian coast, effectively halting any Syrian naval attack. The US 5th Division lands in western Syria. The numbers are in favor of Syria, with 110,000 soldiers,900 planes, and 4,500 tanks, while the US has 100,000 soldiers and 478 MBT, 156 LAT, 26 ships, and 1,700 planes. However, Syrian equipment is outdated and rusty. During the early stages of the war, the US Army struggles to hold against countless Syrian attacks. In early November, a Syrian Free Army force of 30,000 arrives and helps the Americans defeat Assad's army of 60,000. The Syrians retreat to Damascus, Aleppo, and the Golan Heights. With Syria gone, IS manages to take over most of the northeast, while new Syrian warlord states declare independence. The Free Syrian Army declares a new state called the Republic of Syria. Bashur, the first president, asks US engineers to make a capital on the western coast. Engineers comply and begin making a refuge camp, temporary government buildings, and a military base, along with an airstrip. About 60,000 refuges find shelter while food is shipped from the states. A new oil well is found 10 miles north of the city, allowing for cheaper prices back home. The United States begins to equip the Syrian Army with X-1s and MBTs. The US army decides to guard the coastline while Syrian troops march towards Aleppo and take the city on Christmas. A death count is created by the UN. It is estimated that 12,000 US troops, 62,000 Syrian Arab Troops, 37,000 Free Syrian troops, 4,000 IS troops, 22,000 Warlord Troops, and 267,000 civilians, most from Turkish raids and bombings. The USA requests an alliance with Britain, the Republic of Syria, Japan, and Australia.
 * The United States of America: 
 * Japan


 * Goverment:The governor of Japan made Japan a dictatorship by getting rid of the royal family and banning other parties.But even the members of the party are kicked out and replaced by advisors so the advisors don't make problem of having lower political power and are more trustworthy then the ex party members.Despite all of these things he's not a bad leader because he started some serious reforms in the country to make a happier and less stressful population.These reforms are:glorifying big families over work(but working and studying stays an important part of the society just with much fewer working hours,fewer stress,more school vacation and students go to school only 5 times a week instead of 6) and they encourage children to go out and have fun outside instead of sitting at the computer whole day and discouraging peoples from suicide by making them believe it's okay to do mistakes sometimes and they can't bring shame to their ancestors only themselfs also giving them self esteem.And all these messages gets to them both by school and by animes which were bribed by the state.Also Japan started to work on an enviroment program to make the whole country oil free using only renewable energies(especially solar energy,biofuel and hydropower).Also Japan started a big dam building program to stop easier the upcoming tsunamies.And to pay off all these programmes the country took all major Japanese companies in state ownership.But despite the nationalization foreign companies can still invest in the country and the state owned Japanese companies can invest in other countries too.
 * Democracy:Japan accepts the alliance offer from USA and hopes to be treated as equal instead of a puppet as how it was for a long time.Japan offers an alliance to India
 * Military:Japan starts to spend heavily on it's military to prepare for the invasion of both Koreas.Preparation finishes in July 16th so invasion starts in July 17th and by the end of the year Japan captures most of the countries and kept them under blockade since the begining of the invasion.Also Japan started a cyber soldier program but it will take a few years to finish it.
 * Economy:The country spend a lot on social programs environment and military but they can pay them off due to the country's great economy and state owned Japanese companies
