Delirium (Map Game)

Introduction


The year is 2280. The entire world is being ruled by into United Nations of Sol, a single confederation divided into different levels of sectors around the globe, with the major economic and cultural center being Europe. Humans have lived in peace for over 100 years.

However, something dark and worrying is approaching. In reccent years, UNS have implemented oppressive laws and censored information that they deem hazardous to their rule. The people are on the edge of rebellion. It is your job to fight against UNS as revolutionaries and overthrow UNS' harsh regime over Earth.

You have a limited number of men. They have millions of troops. You have limited food, water and ammo. They have thousands of factories at their disposal. Can you win against the odds? Can you succeed? It is all up to you.

Rules

 * 1) Teamwork. Teamwork is the absolute importance in this map game. You have to communicate with other players and plan out campaigns. Do NOT go lone wolf. You will be wiped out very easily.
 * 2) Be realistic in your turns. This is VERY important. Casualties have to be realistic and you cannot go soft on yourself.
 * 3) Be creative. You can do everything you want as long it is plausible. Blowing up bridges, blocking canals, intercepting supply lines, sabotaging other cities, fiddling with enemy weapons etc. are all doable.
 * 4) You do NOT have access to nukes or other mass-killing weapons. However, UNS will also NOT use nukes on you unless the situation is dire.
 * 5) You get to choose ONE city, and one city ONLY as your starting point. You can expand your territory each turn in every direction..
 * 6) Cities are hard to siege (especially capitals) and will take significantly more casualties to do so. You can choose to surround it instead, but you face the risk of an enemy breach.
 * 7) All of the players are ON THE SAME TEAM. You do NOT have to ask for alliances.
 * 8) Each turn is half a year.
 * 9) Turns last for 2-3 days.
 * 10) Sectors can help each other in supressing rebels, which means distraction and illusion are very useful strategies.
 * 11) You can steal intel from UNS. If you successfully do so, I will post UNS' plans for crushing rebels in the next turn. However, keep in mind that the plan will change over time, so you might have to steal it again. Keep in mind that the more times you try to steal, the less likely you'll be successful in doing so.
 * 12) You can rename cities if you conquer them.

Players
You can choose one city as your starting point, and give a name to your division. The name should be short and easy to remember. It should also be realistic (names such as xXMLG420blazeXx or Aswhole will not be accepted)

Tip: It might be better if all players choose cities near each other, as support between divisions would be easier

United Nations of Sol
United Nations of Sol is divided into different sectors. There are five levels of sectors: Primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, buffer states and interprovincial zones.

Primary Sectors
These sectors are the most powerful in the confederation. They have the most population, money and military. If one of them collapses, UNS will fall into chaos.

Primary sectors include:
 * Germania
 * Francia
 * Iberia
 * Italia
 * United Isles
 * Russia

Secondary Sectors
These sectors are major members of the confederation. Housing a notable amount of citizens and troops, they prove to be a tough match in case of war.

Secondary sectors incude:
 * Scandinavia
 * Baltic Union
 * Polish State
 * West Danubia
 * Greece

Tertiary Sectors
Tertiary sectors, although not as powerful as primary or secondary sectors, are also important members in UNS. If they combine their armies, the result can be quite terrifying.

Tertiary sectors include:
 * Benelux
 * Alpine Confederation
 * East Danubia
 * Balkan Union
 * Turkish State
 * Caucasus

Buffer States
Buffer states are states created out of bigger sectors for the sake of balanced power. They are partially controlled by their neighbours, but they have a high degree of autonomy and can send out armies on their own.

Buffer states include:
 * Ukrainian Buffer State

Interprovincial Zones
Interprovincial zones are usually territories in West Asia and Africa. They are governed by the primary sectors, which means they have low autonomy and are loosely controlled. However, resources and cities and scarce in these areas.

Interprovincial zones include:
 * Algerian Interprovincial Zone
 * Libyan Interprovincial Zone
 * Middle Eastern Interprovincial Zone

Winning Conditions
Sectors will collapse when they meet the following criteria: There are several conditions for the players to win:
 * If over half of the sector's cities are taken, it may collapse. The more cities the rebels take, the more likely the sector will collapse. Lower level sectors are more prone to collapse compared to higher level sectors.
 * If over two-thirds of the sector's cities are taken, it will certainly collapse UNLESS the sector is being supported by other sectors
 * If all of the cities are taken, the sector's government will go into exile and the sector falls into rebel rule
 * At least 1 primary sector have collapsed to the rebels
 * At least one-third of the cities on the map have been taken
 * At least 5 sectors have collapsed to the rebels
 * The UNS armies have suffered losses in reccent battles

Player-initiated events
Here's a list of the events you can do in your turns. They might or might not be successful. Feel free to suggest more:


 * Blowing up bridges/railways ( Slows enemy advance )
 * Intercepting supply lines ( Decreases enemy supplies, decreases enemy morale )
 * Building new cities ( Decreases recruitment for one turn, increases morale , increases recruitment afterwards )
 * Post propaganda ( Increases recruitment, decreases enemy morale )
 * Steal intel ( Shows enemy plan for rebel control for one turn )
 * Blocking coastlines ( Decreases enemy trade )
 * Blocking canals/rivers ( Decreases enemy trade, decreases enemy supplies )
 * Fiddiling with enemy weapons ( Decreases enemy combat efficiency, dcreases enemy morale )
 * Raiding enemy towns and cities ( Increases supplies, increases morale , decreases recruitment in raided cities )
 * Raiding enemy industrial capacity ( Increases supplies ,  decreases enemy  morale,  decreases supplies in raided cities )
 * Building walls around cities ( Increases defense ,  increases morale,   d ecreases recruitment for one turn )

NPC Events

 * The people of Earth have had enough of the tyrannical rule of UNS. Rebels begin to arise in various cities around Europe. The revolution has begun.
 * In response to the rebellions, UNS assigns armies in major cities as an attempt to stop the rebellion from spreading.
 * All six primary members agree to allowing local police to carry out house searches and arrests without a warrant.

Player Events
4th Polish Republic

The rebels in Warsaw decided to recruit as many members as possible, surpassing 50,000 members, later the rebels declare war on Warsaw, later many people start to join the rebels as it wants to free Poland from the abusive country, once they manage to get Warsaw it is said that they would build a new capital next to Warsaw called East Warsaw and later continue the counquest in Poland, Lodz.

They have 80,000 members as of Turn 1

Byzantine Revolutionaries (Byzantium)

The rebels have the intention of attempting to overthrow Greece. But their goal is to try gain Gallipoli and Nicaea (Iznik) and try to fiddle around on Turkish State and Greece through blocking supply route which they already controlled Constantinople. The ships supplying there should stop naval supplies from reaching the Black Sea but not through air. The founders of the Byzantine rebels were Giorgos Giassos and some person from the northern part of Constantinople under the name "Drazi" for private reasons as said from an earlier conference.

Giorgos was proclaimed as the emperor of Byzantium as head of the organisation and was born in 2254 in Canakkale. There is some lack of information about him by this time, but he did move to Constantinople in 2273 and met the soon to be founders of the organisation. Back to the starting point, the Byzantine founders and members post propaganda around the city and attracted many people as much about 45,000 in overall. They also force 600 members to spy on the movements and their amount of soldiers in the Turkish State and Greece, deciphering it bit by bit.

Those soldiers are usually trained moderately, the most elite ones, chosen nearly carefully are usually trained well and regularly. There is a plan to use the well trained soldiers for defensive operations and left the rest into offensive and defensive.

Most weapons they used were either looted or smuggled into the city, most are old weapons made around one to two decades ago or made by hand from salvaging and usually moderate or weak. Ammunition is also the priority, the seized factories are controlled but no order is taken place yet since they took over it. Navy is the priority than ammunition and other weapons, they need to take over the Marmara Sea and then conquer it by transport, so ships are currently in the build and at least one is finished.

Swedish Liberation Militia

The first leader of the SLM ,Aron Garet, was started the SLM by recruiting his friends and family. These are the Council of 14. By using books and researching the tactics of spies he trained all of them and himself to become very good spies. They all are experts at close quarters combat, masters of stealth (which is not as useful because of advanced detection), and know their own code. 1 month after expanding past the council, A training ground (Aron's apartment) Scandinavian police broke in and captured all 52 people there including Aron and 2 other members of the council. The 49 people are still in the Stockholm Maximum security jail while Aron and the 2 council members were executed.

Leadership passed on to Aron's Nephew ,Casper Helns. He set up a complicated system of recruiting and training members of the SLM. Under his leadership 87% of Stockholm supports the SLM and 46k soldiers are trained. The SLM is very lightly armed and relies on staying under the radar. However the soldiers are trained to a much higher standard then most common soldiers.

By using the assets of the those who support the SLM, a fleet of recreation private boats is amassed. They are used to sail closer than a standard ship would be able to in supply ships. Either ranged weapons are used or stealth is used to steal as much supplies as possible and destroying the rest to hurt the army in the area. On these missions about 24 specially trained soldiers participate. On boarding missions they use no electronics at all to avoid detections. They are also trained to swim like a fish wear a special suit to blur very defining human features. The missions are also done with false flags and names to direct blame to non-existent rebels.

On May 8th a group of Scandinavian police find a training facility that had 500 SLM soldiers. 35 police are killed in teh first confrontation. The police force sends heavily armed military soldiers to clean out the place. 34 Scandinavian soldiers die and 127 SLM soldiers. The rest of the SLM soldiers realised that could not escape or beat the force so they committed suicide in any way they could. No SLM soldiers survived but none were captured so no intel could be extracted by the Scandinavian government.

Cypriot United Federation (Nicosia)

The Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot populations meet in Nicosia, capital of the island of Cyprus. After a long meeting, the Cypriot United Federation is founded. The rebel army, called Omospondiakoí in Greek and federaller in Turkish, is about 47,600 men and 12,300 women.

With propaganda in cities in Cyprus and Greek islands as Crete, people join the Omospondiakoí Army, now with about 62,000 members.

The first battle in the Cypriot Liberation War is the Battle of Limassol, resulting in Cypriot victory after 4 days of fighting. After that, Vasilikos is stormed by the Omonspondiakoí Army, resulting in another victory for the Cypriot side. The army is later divided in two, and one is sent to take over Strovolos and Mount Olympus, while the other one will take over Larnaka and Dhekelia.

By the end of the year, both armies meet in Strovolos and siege Nicosia.

In politics, trade, and diplomacy, the Federation chooses a new Premier, called Konstantinos Charalambides. He creates a parliament and asks Constantinople and Berut to work together in order to get the independence.

Bohemia

Bohemia starts to block river of Elbe, so the supplies wont come further into Czech Republic (I know it doesn't exist now). After securing the rule in Prague, army of 20 000 men will make their way south to the city of Tábor. Here, they will try to persuade people to join the rebellion. Meanwhile, they will kill all armies/police that will attack them. But no harm to civilians of the city.

Government starts to post propaganda in Prague to recruit more men into the army.

Bohemia will blow up the railway that leads to city of Plzen. (West)

Dictatorship of Germania

The Dictatorship decides they have had enough and finally rise against the current German government. With the full city taken in 2 days, Leipzig falls pretty easily to the dictatorship army, having steamrolled through the area. Expanding ever out wards, bombs fall in the Subways of Germany, exploding and killing off many people. The people of Berlin, all support this movement and help out by looting, killing and capturing many people. Germany instantly becomes unstable, ready to collapse in anytime. Poznan is also taken by the Germans and Wroclaw is completely cut off from German supplies, surrendering easily. Tanks are purchased as well as ammo and food to keep the rebels alive.

Free Esceosian Army

The people of Budapest decided that they had enough of the oppressive rule across the world, so they decide to join The Rebellion against the United Nations of Sol. The current mayor/governor/leader of Budapest, John Zeszlenyi is elected as the leader. He declares that the new rebel group starting from Budapest will be named Esceosian Free Army, and has the goal of uniting West and East Danubia, in order to form Esceosia, a new country.

John Zeszlenyi was born in Budapest in 2258 and fought on the side of UNS since he had the ability to do so he was awarded with the governance of Budapest. However, when the UNS started to be oppressive, he changed his mind, as they became the same thing they fought against. He started planning in case of an rebellion, and when in 2280 it finally started all across the world, he also announced his intention to rebel against the UNS to the citizens of Budapest. As the citizens were the target of oppression, many started to joined his cause, thus forming the Esceosian Free Army. The word Esceosia(n) comes from the new ethnicity in the united world that was previously known as Slovakian, Romanian and Hungarian. These three main ethnicities started to merge when the regions of Danubia became sectors of the UNS, and by 2280 they fully merged together.

With the proclamation of the rebellion against the central government, Zeszlenyi managed to gather together 70 000 people in no time and started his plan. 50 000 people (the First Division) of the Army started to march towards west, in the direction of Vienna and Bratislava. With this large of an army, they managed to capture the city of Bratislava. As they captured it, they decided to rename it to Pozsony. Many people in Pozsony also joined their cause of rebelling against the government. This division of the army will stay in Pozsony for now. As for the rest of the army, known as the Second Division of 20 000 people, they started to move towards Cluj. They managed to capture small cities in no time, but the siege of Cluj is currently ongoing. The Second Division is urging for the people in Cluj to start rebelling against the government too.

Zeszlenyi knew that he doesn't have enough resources for now, but he also knew that the most important resource for the UNS armies is water, as for anyone. Zeszlenyi utilized the boats in Budapest to take control of the central part of the Danube (the part of the Danube that was part of Hungary and Slovakia 270 years ago). As the First Division was marching towards Bratislava, they were also helping. With this, Zeszlenyi managed to cut down water supply lines of the Danube.

The Free French

The Free French blocks the Seine and it's influents.The Free French captured Paris within a few days then recruited it's male population which means they have 560.000 people from Paris alone.The organisation spreads propaganda all over France to recruit more people.Most guns what the Free French use are stolen from the enemy.They not just steal handguns and explosives but even tanks and other ground military vehicles.The UNS's airplanes and helicopters are usually destroyed by the rebels due to a very few rebels able to drive them so out of 1000 lost aircrafts only 1 is stolen and the rest is destroyed by the rebels(these things usually happen at night).Also The Free French constantly destroys enemy bridges and railways and intercepts their supply lines.In the first 6 months The Free French sieged and captured Orleans but lost 55.000 people(they were replaced by the local man population but the rebel army still got smaller).In that 6 months the rebels also gained a tiny(but not extremely tiny) coastline and got very close to the city of Nevers but they haven't tried to siege it yet.To provide food The Free French first used the shops of the captured cities but later they sent women to hunt and do agricultural works.Some of the food are sent to the fighting rebels and the rest is to feed the childs,women and old people.Drink is provided from wells and from the rivers and lakes which are made drinkable by water filtration systems.And because all men are fighting the womens have to filtrate the water by using the water filtration systems too.The Free french gets a part ammo by stealing it from Sol but the rest is got from the women too who are making ammos in the factories(and guns too).For recruitment even children and old people can apply as long as they are a men.Women cannot apply because the rebels need a workforce too.And those old mens and childs who doesn't apply are helping the women in the factories farmlands and at the water filtrating.Bombardments from Sol aren't common because a lot of their aircrafts are blown up.And due to the tiny coastline of The Free French the organisation often trades with other rebel groups such as the Empire of the British Isles and Edwick's Putsch.But in the trades with them we don't use money.We use the barter system because it's much more efficient in theses times.Also when the rebels gained a coastline they captured a few ships so they often blocking a part of the enemy coastline.And because the rebels need raw materals to produce guns,ammos and ships non figting peoples are sent into the mines too.

Kirarica

We start our new government in Riga. Kirarican rebel group is founded. A lot of people wants to join us. So far we have about 50 000 men to help us over take Riga. Kirareens start taking the city for themselves. There was some problems, but with enough strenght, we did it. We first block off the docks, stopping the enemy trade. We destroy the railways leading to Riga. With more action more people are willing to join us. Kirarican army is getting slowly larger. Lastly we mess up and steal UNS weapons. We prepare for incoming attacks.

Current number of people willing to fight: 62 000

Roman Legion

In the night, the streets of Rome are ravaged and filled with the feeling of revolution. After the people of Rome being not able to resist the UNS' authoritarian and Oppresive goverment, the revolt sparks, and Rome is taken over with at least 60.000 armed citizens.

This Legions' target is to unify Italy under their control, and maybe farther, to Iberia. the Romans send a division of 30K troops to Napoli to take it over, meanwhile, 20K soldiers are sent trough sea to Ajaccio, where a siege is set. The remaining 10K that were in the first revolt move north and make defense lines, they also blockade rivers arround. Small towns in the region of Lazio join the revolution and gather 5K troops that are sent to Bari to take control down in South Italy, UNS ships in Rome are obviously stolen by the R.L. and are sent to blockade Genoa and Cagliari.

Nordic Federation

On this day, Danish people rebels in Copenhagen, killing most of Scandinavian police force with guns and then took over the City hall. After this, Copenhagen is conquered by Danish rebels aka Danish Liberation Army. While planing to unify Scandinavia, the name of the rebel group is changed, renaming it to Nordic Federation and starts it's new government based on old Danish governmental building Christiansborg Palace. The Nordic Federation is officially founded under it's selecting leader Rolf Nørup, formally leader of the Danish Liberation Army. On military, the revolutionary army has about 100,000 trained soldiers. Propaganda made by Nordic Federation are sent and spread to all cities of Region Hovedstaden, Region Sjælland and Scania, to explain people join the revolution, joins the Federation as Nordic Citizens and some of them becomes soldiers, resulting additional 20,000 soldiers. 30K soldiers invades regions of Hovedstaden and Sjælland, while 40K are invading Scania. The Federation also blocks coastlines controlled by Nordic Federation to decrease enemy trade.

The (Edwick) Putsch

Edwick was born on July 9th, 2241 with the Collar sign: Kankri-D1-114015182, He was the Great Grandson of the former Figurehead of the UNS (G. Grand F. Rommel Shruub Bush (B. 2154- D. 2256), reigned 2196 - 2212), (Grand F. B2192- D2287), (F. B2222-D2315).

Edwick grew up in the North Atlantic (Eastern USA and Carribean) Sector and moved with his family to Europe to attend college in 2260 by studying psychology, Art of politics, and Art. He graduated in 2265 with a Masters Degree in Politics. In Early 2267, he ran for Mayor of Brussels as the representative of the Social Conservative Bureau (SBU Party, The 8th most popular party in UNS). But lost the race due to discovering his fear of stage fright.

He was conscripted into the Army in Late 2267 to fight in the Stadtford's Bowl (sector) Campaign on Mars to quell the rising power of Cartels (Petersbourge Cartridge Coalition, PCC, a Movement of 23 seperate minor Cartels for the independence of the recently terraformed Mars). In 2269, Edwick rose to a Lieutenant and participated in the famous "Battle of Wickers Station", one of the bloodiest battles against one of the Cartels. He was wounded in action and was sent home after recieving the Medal of Honor, the Martian Cartel War ended in late 2271.

Edwick again campaigned for Mayor of Brussels in Early 2274 after healing from his wounds, and despite his fear for stage fright, he was famous for his service and won.

However, back in 2271, PCC released government documents right before their fall containing official info about censorship and mass killings on the Solarweb-net (the Internet in 2200s). Which caused mass protest in cities from Mid-2272- Late 2274. Brussels was thankfully saved from this due to this. However a Viro posted on Neutube (Future youtube in Mid2200s, called Viral Videos "Viro") featured Police in the Ausvictoria (North-Eastern Australia Sector) Sector firing on unarmed protestors caused mass violent demonstrations around the globe. By Early 2279 the rebellions were quickly gaining momentum.

By 2280 Eddwick/Edwick was deeply Pro-Government and tried saving Brussels from mass protests. The People rioted and, out of respect of Edwick, decided to force him to become their leader of the rebellion or will get executed. Edwick reluctantly agreed and became the figurehead and leader of the Brussels Rebellion. By the time of Delirium, Edwick's Rebellion became a Putsch (Basically German for Coup), to overthrow and establish a new order against the UNS government.

END OF INTRO

Edwick ordered all Military Police units (Numbering in almost 28,000 men) in Brussels to stand down to prevent any more bloodshed within the city. Out of 43,000 violent Protestors within the City of over 8 Million people, Edwick requested all volunteers within the protestors with military training to join the Brussels Military Police force. Only 13,000 Protestors had military training and experience, and joined the Military Police, now bolstered to well over 41,000 men. The rest of the population, 30,000 troops, formed the first Militia to defend the city and barricade it in case of attack.

Edwick requested the Rebels of London and Paris to meet up at the English strait for a trade route and to help bolster each other's numbers and supplies. In Later months, Edwick moved 35,000 armed troops in Brussels north into the other city to station a siege for extra supplies.

Edwick turned to the Brussels Espionage department and ordered to take Intel of the incognito enemy armies region (wonder why Brussels don't have that info XDDD)

Supplies/Production (for no OPness):
 * Almost 8 Million Food Crates per Week (because the population of Brussels in 8 Million)
 * Water Supply = Infinite (because Brussels is next to a body of water)
 * 30,000 Standard Guns (Rifles, Pistols, Shotguns, etc.), 14,000 Makeshift Protest Weapons
 * 800 Light Tanks (Brussels factory issue)

London

The people of London have had enough and rebel against the corrupt government. Being one of the most populated places in the world, it is not hard to create of formidable army of 75,000 people. Realizing the The Thames river is the key to success, the free British attack up the river, and make it to the coast. A navy is beginning to be created. Dover and southeast England is the next target. Trade is able to get out to Brussels and they begin to support each other. Propaganda including the Hunger Games Movies (sorry I had to I'm literally watching mockingjay right now) Londonions steal Intel from the enemy and also destroy their supply lines.

United Arab Emirates of New Baghdadid

As the vibe of rebellion spreads through the streets, a lone man steps up on a barrel in a busy market. His name is Abadid Baghdadi. He is the decendent of the man who liberated the Muslim people from the hands of western oppressors. The man spoke of unfathomable power in the uniting of the peoples, and he wishes to do what his ancestor did 270 years ago. He rallies the crowd. A squad of Federation arrives at the scene and shoots Abadid in the head, obliterating his Cerebral Cortex and killing him instantly. However, the rebellion has already begun.

The Squad car is immediately taken over by nearby men armed with kitchen knives. Many of the squad police that arrived are run over as a result of this, and the Market Area is taken over. Word spreads of this rebellion quickly. The docks are taken over, and some boats are damaged in the process. The main Beiruti Federation headquarters is stormed, as thousands raid the food and weapon stores. Within mere days, most of the city is taken over. The son of Abadid, Abudis, takes over and forms a rebel organisation called The Baghdadid State of Beirut, and he leads the rebels to victory in north Beirut, forcing the Federation to retreat from Beirut.

The people of Beirut are now organised. Every male above 18 with the required training is enlisted in the main army. Every male over 18 without the required traing will undergo traing and become part of the reinforcements unless suggested otherwise. Every male under 18 will work in the factories and farms. Every female will also work in factories and farms.

People are taken by one of Baghdadi's commanders to the Jordanese area, where an outpost is created. This outpost is supported by the growing Beiruti rebel army, and defences are constructed to combat the Federation. Abudis sends out the newly repaired ships to blockade the Suez Canal, and Abudis' son, Akbaru, in the guise of a refugee, takes shelter in Jerusalem. The Outpost in Jordan grows, but Akbaru spreads rumors of the corrupt Federation leaders. The people in Jerusalem begin to stir...

Player-initiated Events

 * Massive naval and canal blockades by rebels create massive transportation problems to the UNS, slowing their advance
 * Rebels in London and Brussels successfully steal intel from UNS, revealing their half-a-year (one turn) plan for eliminating rebels.

NPC Events

 * UNS announces a state of emergency. Citizens are not allowed to participate in assemblies with more than 5 people, white protests are forbidden.
 * Six out of six primary sectors agree with activating ECRL (Emergency Continental Resource Lockdown), redirecting trade and resource flow originally headed towards rebel-controlled cities towards UNS-controlled cities. This damages supply flow to the rebels.
 * Four of out six primary sectors agree with temporarily increasing interprovincial zones' autonomy. IZs can now command their own armies as they see fit.

Player Events
Byzantine Revolutionaries

Giorgos and "Drazi" organises an attack on Bursa with 30,000 troops before the UNS arrives at it, they have to go through a bridge since there are few transports and most were recently built that were able to hold 400 each. It is enough for 3,600 but were fewer. Continous production to ships continue and many were from ports captured six months ago by Byzantines and is not primarily transport but allowed it to blockade Bursa and conquer the Marmara Sea except the Dardanelles Strait. In the Black Sea, little presence of the Byzantines were gained and ships head for Burgas.

Giorgos meet Prokopis in Constantinople, in exchange of being general, Giorgos had to pay him every two months to keep him but his other 'friends' join him as well. Propaganda continues to thrive and around 50,000, making it 110,000 in total (incl. starting). There is no salary but they pay money around ~5-6 coins per month for the elite ones, but at least 1 coin for the lower ones per month or even none. This angers some people since they really need money to fund themselves with but minting them takes a long time and costly and some were stolen from banks in Constantinople to keep funding themselves. With not enough food from the UNS' ECRL, they limit the supply to only soldiers, loyal rich people and the leaders who are Giorgos, Drazi, Prokopis and other leaders that can't be whom to name. This increases attrition to the army and at least 12,000 deserted by the end of the year.

Back to Bursa, the soldiers land on Bursa and the bridge route took at least 8-12 days to move, surrounding it temporarily in July to September and then besiege it. It gradually fell until December, at least 22,000 died in the siege because those armies simply arrived here and obliterated most of the army and a batch of reinforcements arrived at the size of 7,000 in November in reaction. They looted food and supplies but not enough to satisfy with for the rest of the population and they needed more men to serve with. They also renamed Bursa to Prousa.

In Constantinople, around 50,000 men were barricading, along with 2,000 elites (52,000) and the army from Sofia was noticed when intel was stolen, they build barbed wires and 6ft trenches across the city, specifically on the western part of Constantinople and food is running low, ammunitions were nearly enough to supply a battle for twelve to nineteen days and 45,000 weapons are available for the army which meant any available materials here have to be used as weapons. There are tanks, however not many of them are here, they were captured and are only three dozen. However Constantinople needs its population to stretch out and have to found Kallipolis (in Gallipoli) later, which meant turning this town into a major city or some sort but they turn towards the rural population, rounding the loyal ones into the soon to be founded Kallipolis, with only 2,500 soldiers (due to manpower drops) guarding this fortress of Kallipolis. Giorgos orders the soldiers to the Greek front to pull back to the fortresses of Kallipolis, Constantinople or build trenches to mark the line and slow them down.

In addition to this, Byzantium plans to meet contact with the Cypriots in the south as their goal.

United Arab Emirates of New Baghdadid

Abudis Baghdadid is crowned Grand Emir of New Baghdadid. The outpost in Jordan is named New Annam, after the Jordanese Capital that was once there. Armies are travelling to Jerusalem to defend it against Beiruti attack, but the Federation does not realize the situation.

In Jerusalem, Akbaru, son of Abudis, continues to spread rumors. Rumor spreads around that a night club is the centre of all rebel activities, but most people don't take notice of it. Instead, many people go to the party thrown on that night. Suddenly, a bomb explodes in the Nightclub, killing 27 people. Federation soldiers arrive with guns and start shooting. In that night, 176 people died.

People panicked, but as his grandfather did, Akbaru rallied the Jerusalites to war. Abudis sent trucks full of supplies, weapons, and explosives from Annam and Beirut. The rebels were armed and they attacked back. Supplies were stolen from the Federation Army heading to Jerusalem from Alexandria, and the blockade in Suez is majorly reinforced. Unable to escape or retreat, the people loyal to the Federation attack one last time in Jerusalem. Most of them are killed in the minefield, and the rest are gunned down.

The Federation army has arrived at Suez and is attacking the Blockade in order to get across. However, the rebel army also arrives at Suez. Reinforced Catapults are used to throw massive scatter explosives into the large army. It is very effective, and most people that it kills die from the Scatter Bomb, not the initial bomb.

The Main Navy arrives in Alexandria, with a large rebel army in transports, as well as supplies. They are lead by the second son of Abudis - Arabar. Arabar rallies the Alexandrians to war, but a lot of them refuse to fight. However, they do permit the use of their supplies, and will help with Trade, Agriculture, and Industry. The ruins of Cairo are used to expand the Industrial side of Baghdadid. The rebel army takes over Alexandria, Arabar assuming natural control over the city.

As the rebel army in Alexandria advanced toward the Federation's Alexandrian armies, so did the Suez rebel army. The Federation's army was basically trapped between Arabar and Akbaru's forces. Attrition falls heavily upon the Federation's armies, as Arabar and Akbaru wait for them to starve or attack.

More women and teenagers are put to work as the demand for supplies increase. Scouts are sent out, and destroy enemy supply lines. Some enemy supplies are also hijacked by them, and the supplies are brought abck to Beirut. Plans are approved for a new city, appropriately called Suez, be build around the Suez Canal.

Propaganda is heavily used in Jerusalem and Alexandria, as many people are skeptical of whetehr this new rebel control will bring good fortune to them. However, Anubis promises that their cities will grow stronger in the coming years.
