The Invasion (Map Game)

Remind Soaringhawk if anything is missing and it will be added immediatly!

The date is 1/1/25. The world has grown peaceful since the dawn of civilization. While certain things disrupt the peace 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?

Inspired by Delerium (in loving memory)

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).
 * 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.

The United States of America:  The United States is no longer the democratic nation it once was. In 2016, Donald Trump became president. He quickly took over Congress by paying off the representatives, and anyone who refused was quickly silenced. The Supreme Court was disbanded, and the rest of the Judicial Branch became part of the executive branch. The Electorals were replaced by people who owed Trump and had been bribed. Little by little, the freedoms of the people were taken away. Trump deported about 14 million Californian Latinos back to Mexico, and another 500,000 were murdered in New Mexico. Trump had also mobilized the American war machine in 2017. The US Armed Forces had about 1.5 million soldiers in 2024, with a further 1.2 in reserve. The Air Force has about 7,654 jets, and 98 bombers, and 194 drones. The US has 786 tanks, 2,768 Bradleys. The Navy has 7 aircraft carriers, 76 combat boats, 3 nuclear subs, 213 subs, and 143 transport ships. In early 2023, the Enclave was founded by members of Congress who escaped, and they elected John O'Connell as their president. The next two years, the Enclave slowly gained support from about 30,000,000 Americans out of a population of 346,000,000. On January 2nd, 2025, the War of Liberation began. About 300,000 Enclave troops quickly rose up in the West Coast. They opened the border gates on the Mexican border, and two million immigrants streamed across. Out of these refuges, about 600,000 wanted to fight, while the rest were settled in California. The beginning of the war shows massive losses for the Capitol, with everything west of the Rockies being lost. In this time, Trump forced citizens east to help out in labor projects. By April, the war had slowed down, and the Red Cross counted deaths. The figures were quite high for only a few months. About 54,000 Enclave troops, 57,000 Capitol troops, and 89,000 civilians had died. In September, another offensive was launched. The rebels managed to convince New York, Florida, and Ohio to join the rebellion. A massive attack across the Rockies with Colorado, Texas, and Louisiana captured. In October, Trump launches a nuclear weapon against New York City. The blast kills 1.3 million people, with radiation killing 1.4 million in a day. Other strikes are launched at Denver, Seattle, and Las Vegas. By December, Trump has retaken most of the US. Enclave forces only own Texas, New York, Colorado, Idaho, and parts of southern California, anarchy consumes Connecticut, Arizona, and Utah. Causalities are MASSIVE. About 295,000 Enclave troops have died, 245,000 Capitol troops have died, 67,000 Mexican refuges, and 5,398,000 civilians. Things are looking grim for the Enclave, who is December only seized NORAD and made a capital in the bunker.
