1936 Q3
''' Francisco Franco leads the Spanish Army of Africa in what has come to have been known as the Spanish Civil War. Initially beginning in Morocco, the uprising has spread to a significant area in Iberia, with the nationalist factions fighting against the socialist Republican Spain. '''

''' As there is no such "Axis" faction, Germany has no idea what Austria is talking about. '''

''' Trotsky is reported to have been present in Paraguay speaking with Rafael Franco, sparking suspicions that a Trotskyist Paraguayan State may soon be a reality. It is also noted that Trotsky was seen in Portugal a few days prior, leading to the USSR accusing Portugal of harboring a political enemy. '''

''' The Moscow Trials are held in the USSR, incarcerating suspected supporters of Trotsky or executing them. Also known as the Great Purge to many, who see this as Stalin clearing out any opposition to his rule and criticise it. '''

''' Britain and France formally recognise the independence of Egypt and Syria in the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty and Franco-Syrian Treaty respectively. '''

''' Martial law declared in British Palestine. '''

Commonwealth of Australia

 * Government: In general, the government remains almost the same as is from last turn, with the Communists and Fascists losing even more popularity, however a scandal initiated by the Prime Minister may set things up for a different election next year.
 * Joseph Lyons: An interesting yet surprising scandal surfaces involving Prime Minister Joseph Lyons. A rich agricultural company known as Williams-Goldburg Farming Co. has allegedly been bribing the Prime Minister for unknown reasons, as specified and stated by Labour Party leader James Scullin. An investigation has begun as many question the Prime Minister's legibility.
 * Economy: The economy growth slows a little bit, as the shipbuilding investment mentioned last turn turns out to fail completely, as the Darwinian forest fire damaged the docks severely. Agricultural exporting however does allow for growth in the farming sector, and gold is found in Alice Springs.

 * Spain: Similar as above, we pertain to a strict neutrality to the nationalistic/socialist war currently proceeding in Spain.
 * Events:
 * St. Kilda Attacks: A synagogue attack near Melbourne resulted in 1 death and 3 injuries. Many suspect that the attack was carried out by people from the National Socialist Union of Australia as Australia rarely has anti-Semitic attacks. An investigation currently is underway.
 * Socialist-Nationalist Clash: During a Socialist demonstration in Perth, several Nationalists/Nazis arrived and began clashing with the Socialists. Nobody was killed, but 18 were injured and 5 were taken into custody.

Austria

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

 * Backstory: After Vladimir Lenin's death in 1924, a fight emerged between communist supporting the People's Commisar of Military and Naval Affairs Leon Trotsky and the General Secretary of the Communist Party, Joseph Stalin. After the defeat of the Trotskysts, Stalin became the factual autocrat of the Soviet Union. Under Stalin, the Soviet policy shifted from internationalism to nationalism. Stalin decided to build 'aocialism in one country', thus reducing his support to foreign communist factions.

There's only one true evil in this world. This evil is fascism. We shall fight fascism with all our might, with everything we have in our disposal. That's why I'm offering you economical support and political and military protection against fascism and nazism. The only thing we want in return is the guarantee that you will not let a trotskyst or a fascist take control of your government.
 * Czechoslovakia: Czechoslovakia! Woe is thou! You'll never be friends with Hitler! Instead, he will smash you, together with his Hungarian companion!
