The Extraterrestrial War - (Map Game)

'''Game needs experienced staff! Will start when there is staff and a spot is open!'''

The date is 1/1/25. The world has grown peaceful since the dawn of civilization. While certain things disrupt the peace like the dwindling supply of oil and the massive Kurdish movement in Turkey, a new threat is on the horizon. An advanced alien race has discovered Earth. They have an invasion force the planet and they are nearly there. Their advanced technology has hidden the advancing threat from satellites and the world is unsuspecting. Take control of a country! Will it survive the coming invasion? Crumble? Sacrifice?

Remade by Soaringhawk as it had a very unfortunate turn of events IRL that caused it to be shelved and Soaring really liked the idea.

Rules
This map game will be team based (most likely).The first turn will be a standard map game. Starting on turn 2 the aliens will arrive and cause chaos. In turn 2 you will not be able to fight back as the shock of the attack will cause chaos and your government will not know what to do. The aliens are very cost efficient due to technology. Valid strategies include: Studying their technology, and drowning them in numbers as they have limited fighters. (naturally there are other strategies). Alien casulties will be decided by the Alien Turn Maker.
 * Be realistic (aka not op)
 * Do not be unrealistic in relations. Israel and Iran are not suddenly best friends just because they are fighting a threat together.
 * 1 country per person.

- Mod Events -

 * World population reaches 8 billion. China and India still are miles ahead of other countries in population with India about equal with China now and quickly surging ahead.
 * Arial drones replace man piloted planes. In 2025 a plane piloted by a human inside of it is extremely rare in modern countries.
 * Swarm Robotics revolutionize war. The USA, Japan, China, Russia, France, Germany, the UK and Brazil have now begun to create swarm robotics. These robots all have a very small set of abilities but communicate with each other to get complex tasks done. The amount can range from a few dozen to hundreds.
 * Electromagnetic weapons become a reality. Most of the world powers now use electromagnetic (rail guns) instead of normal weapons.
 * Hypersonic jets.
 * 3d printed organs
 * Reusable rockets are becoming more advanced.
 * Much of China and India are now urbanized. Food in India, and water in China is becoming much harder to come by.
 * Europe is slowly becoming left wing again. Due to the Syrian refugee crisis, Europe become way more right wing. Even more so than the US. The European Union fell apart due to Europe changing rapidly. Due to ISIS being defeated and Assad defeating the rebels in Syria, refugees have stopped for now and Europe has begun to lick its wounds and move to the center once again.
 * Libraries around the world has been weirdly robbed. History and Politcal books gone

- NPC moves -

 * Albania: Tensions over Kosovo has reached the limit. With political changes also occuring Albania has had enough. Albania declares war on Serbia and seeks allies in this. Kosovo is occupied by Albania as Kosovo invites them in.
 * Hungary: Agrees to help Albania attack Serbia. Forces move slightly past the northern border
 * Bosnia and Greece: Helps Serbia in their war
 * Latvia: Right wing and Left wing parties reach a breaking point. Multiple extremists on both sides attack high profile officials. This leads the country into a civil war between Right Wing and Left wing parties. The left loses multiple large battle in the east causing them to move everything to the east while the Right does the opposite. Riga is thrown into riots.
 * Kurdish Factions: Turkey begins to ease up on the Kurds giving them more automany.
 * Haiti: Another earthquake happens in the area causing immense damage. This is the final straw for Haiti and the government collapses. The Dominican Republic takes over the area and helps the area recover.
 * Columbia and Panama: Multiple trade agreements have been building up in the past years causing the two nations to basically be the same nation. An official union occurs with the two nations forming the Colombian Commonwealth.

- Player moves -
Japan


 * Government: The Japanese hold a referendum to remove the clause in the constitution that says the Japanese military can only be used for self defense. It fails at 67% No and 33% yes. Because of this the government decides to focus on developing Japanese soil over taking land from others.


 * Military: The military is increased to 750k infantry soldiers, 7500 land combat vehicles, 250 naval ships and 15 fleets of swarm drones and 2500 Ariel drones. The military is one of the most advanced in the world and is keeping up.


 * Economy: The GDP is one of the highest in the world due to tourism, and technological exports. Tokyo remains the largest city in the world although Chinese and Indian cities are very very close and will over take Tokyo in the next 5 years.


 * Diplomacy: Japanese and Korean relations are very good. Japan founds the East Asian Defense Pact. The nations invited are: Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand.

New Zealand:
 * Diplomacy : An alliance with Australia is requested, A letter is sent to the US asking to sell more weapons to the New Zealandic nation.
 * Goverment : The Flag Referendum, so talked about in the past 2015, votes for the new silver fern flag, which becomes the new flag of New Zealand. Military spending is increased, tough the goverment has no plans to do anything with it, just to become a little bit more relevant. Standards of living are trying to be pulled up by force.
 * Economy : The New Zealandic economy grows along with employment rates, nominal GDP and HDI.
