United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelend:
 * Goverment: After the European Union collapsed because of Brexit, David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister, and elections had to be done early because all of the candidates from the Conservative Party declined the offer of replacing Cameron. Nigel Farage from the UKIP comes out as winner with nearly 52% of the votes and is named Prime Minister inmediately. In his first speech as PM, Farage says that he will "Make Britain Great Again" and that the British culture would be preserved at all cost. Inmigration is extremly restricted, muslins have to go through a long process that can take up years and convert to Christinianism because of the threat of the Islamic State. Multiculturalsm is being slowly taken down, as muslims and hindus are being forced to convert to Christianism, the ones who refuse are deported.
 * Military: Farage increases the military budget and it becomes the top priority for now.
 * Royal British Army: Thr British Army consists of 156,000 active troops and 185,000 Reserves. However, since 20,000 troops are recruited this year, the number of active troops raises to 176,000. 30,000 Reserves are also turned into Active Troops, totalling 206,000 active troops by the end of the year and leaving reserves with 155,000.

 * Integration of Ireland: After long talks between Nigel Farage and the Irish leader, Ireland agrees on joining the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland merges with Ireland, and Ireland (just Ireland) becomes the 4th constituent country of the United Kingdom, having the same autonomy than England, Scotland and Wales (Note: Lolistan and I agreed on this).
 * Wars & Conflicts:
 * Operation Tropico (March 1st-March 11h): A dispatch of 30,000 British troops is sent to invade the small independent nations of the Antilles (including Trinidad and Tobago). Most of the troops were allocated in the already British territories such as Anguilla, and then were sent to invade the islands with support of the Navy. Because the Antilles have a weak military, they were easily defeated and merged into the British Territory of Tropico.
 * War against The Gambia (May 15th-June 30th): For the sake of expanding the British Empire, war is declared in The Gambia and just 15,000 troops are sent to take down the country along with a couple tanks. Because The Gambia has barely ~1,200 military personnel and they have major technological disadvantages, they get massacred by the British Army. The Gambia surrenders to the UK in June 30th, and they are annexed as a colony.
 * Operation World Cup (July 2nd-September 29th): In order to secure oil reserves, Qatar is invaded in July in the Operation codenamed World Cup (Because Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup). Because Qatar is stronger than the rest of countries invaded by UK this year, 45,000 troops are sent along with a big dispatch of the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. While the UK does loses some troops and ships, the war finally results in a British victory after 2 months of fighting. Qatar is annexed and turned into a Overseas Territory, but they recieve better treatment than other territories, mostly because the British want to keep good relations with Arab millonaries.
 * Operation Greater Tropico (November 15th-December 19th): In mid November, the second phase of Operation Tropico (creatively named Operation Greater Tropico) starts. 25,000 troops used in Operation Tropico are sent to the south american nation of Guyana along with 5,000 reinforcements, totalling 30,000 troops in the operation. The Weak Guyanan Navy is destroyed by the Royal Air Force and the troops manage to land in Guyanan coasts. After around one month of fighting, Georgetown is captured and Guyana is forced to surrender since practically all of their cities are in the british-occupied coast.

 * Goverment
 * A coup organized by Franco Gurule occurs in Spain, overthrowing the monarchy and the government. A new government is quickly set up. After the drafting the implementation of various welfare and education policies, most of the populace in Spain are quite happy with this new leader. However, the reign of Gurule alarms pacifists as he has tightened recruitment laws, announced the idea of a "Greater Spain". He also mentioned the possiblity of neo-colonization outside Europe. Right before the invasion of Portugal, Gurule changed the official name of the Spanish state to "Empire of Iberia".
 * Economy
 * Following various government reforms, the decline of Iberia's GDP growth rate has halted. The economy is still deteriorating at a very slow rate, but analyists are confident that the situation will change for the better very soon. Unemployment levels have also dropped following the implementation of a distribution according to labour system.
 * Military
 * Following new recruitment laws, the size of the Iberian Army rose from 75,000 to 90,000. Gurule also disbanded the Civil Guard, instead moving the 80,000 military police to the army. This combined with the Spanish Army gives out a total of 170,000. However, most of the former Civil Guard personnel have not recieved advanced military training. Thus, a training program is set up to assist the transition from the Civil Guard to the Iberian Army.
 * The Iberian Navy has also undergone reforms, including the reorganization of various naval ships and the establishment of a colonial navy force.

State of Japan (pre-rev)/Imperial Empire of Japan (post-rev)
 * Government: A huge shift occurs to the right. The Republic is overthrown and the age of the Emperor/Empress begins once again.
 * Politics: A massive movement occurs. The people of Japan, seeing the circumstances of the world, want a powerful leader that doesn't need to deal with politicians spinning things in ways that help them. A young woman by the name of Okuda Matsuko becomes the leader of the movement, and after only 1 month the government is pushed out of the nation by riots and activists, fleeing into exile in South Korea.
 * Military: The Military is under absolute control of Okuda Matsuko. She promotes a council of Generals. Their names are: Numata Harukichi, Yasutake Oda, Arihyoshi Sojuro, Akoki Kimie, and Mihashi Yee. These 5 generals are the backbone of the military and are the best generals the state has ever seen. A draft is put into place. 20% of all men are to be in the military when the program concludes. This causes women to become the majority of workers in the country.
 * Laws:
 * Drugs: Minor drugs, such as mushrooms, marijuana, LSD, and Ecstasy are all legalized for medical and personal use, and are available to purchase in most stores in Japan.
 * Abortion: Abortion is made strictly illegal by Okuda, and will only be legal in cases of rape. If you do not want your child or do not have the ability to care for the child, you will put it up for adoption. To compensate for this, adoption agencies are greatly improved for the children that are living there, and any adoption agencies not taking proper care of the children situated in the homes will have their owners arrested and sentenced to five years in medium security prison.
 * Unemployment: Anyone that is unemployed is forced into the military.


 * Research & Development:
 * Military: A new body armour is researched, classified as "the most advanced body armour in the world", it can have up to 10 bullets shot at it before penetration, and weighs only 9 pounds.


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: The second reason as to why Okuda gained so much support to become the Japanese Empress is because of her economic policies, which most people agree would greatly improve the Japanese economy. The first policy is to increase interest rates through the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve's rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the government, but, in order to make money, they must lend it at higher rates. So, when the Federal Reserve increases its interest rate, banks have no choice but to increase their rates as well. When banks increase their rates, less people want to borrow money because it costs more to do so if that money accrues interest. So, spending drops, prices drop and inflation slows. The second method is to increase reserve requirements on the amount of money banks are legally required to keep on hand to cover withdraws. The more money banks are required to hold back, the less they have to lend to consumers. If they have less to lend, consumers will borrow less, which will decrease spending. The third method is to directly or indirectly reduce the money supply by enacting policies that encourage reduction of the money supply. Two examples of this include calling in debts that are owed to the government and increasing the interest paid on bonds so that more investors will buy them. The latter policy raises the exchange rate of the currency due to higher demand and, in turn, increases imports and decreases exports. Both of these policies will reduce the amount of money in circulation because the money will be going from banks, companies and investors pockets and into the government’s pocket where they can control what happens to it.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: boring stuff
 * Demographics: Japanese or something like that.
 * Development/Standards of Living: some more random stuff


 * Military:
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Japanese Restoration War: In order to "restore the glorious Japanese Empire", Okuda sends 3,500 soldiers to Brunei, who fully occupy the small state within a matter of weeks. It is annexed into the empire on April 10th. Following this, Japan sends 450,000 soldiers to fight in the Philippines from Brunei. The soldiers are split half and half between the Filipino cities of Manila and Davao, capturing both on June 16th and July 4th respectively. From there, they spread throughout the islands that each city is on, occupying half of each. The Philippines is told that they should just capitualite, to prevent more bloodshed.


 * Imperial Japanese Armed Forces:  Be fore the revolution, the Armed Forces of Okuda's regime were once the Japanese Self-Defence Forces.

Drakhian Empire (Official) | Drakia (Short term) (Formerly known as the Hellenic Republic) (note that I keep using Greece at times)
 * Government
 * Hellenic Civil War (8th January 2016-24th January 2016) (longer version is here [not uploaded yet]): A coup d'etat was staged by some nationalists that pledged allegiance to the Golden Dawn. It led to a fail after found by the government and with the set up heavy protests around Thessaloniki and Athens, a civil war began across the country. Just 6 days later, many people mostly in government-controlled area starts thinking of overthrowing the current government and 5 days later the government surrendered. An ultimatum was sent to the Golden Dawn to give up and guarantee autonomy but they will not be fascist in any way. However the Golden Dawn didn't gave up yet and they are crushed as soon an operative attack was launched to reclaim Thessaloniki. By the end of 23rd January, the monarchist forces proclaim what they call themselves as the Drakhian Empire and the leader they assigned to them is someone claiming descendant of a royal as far as the start of the independence war of Greece. (reveal name next turn)
 * Causalities: Civilian casualities are over 39,000. Military includes 8,000 government forces, 18,000 Golden Dawn supporters and 4,200 monarchist forces. Politicians include Alexis Tsipras (RIP from an attack committed by monarchists), 12 Hellenic Parliament members and over 50-60 Golden Dawn members including its leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos.
 * Political Parties: The Drakhian political parties are divided to three rather than two major parties. The Golden Dawn is now banned from politics from the absolute power of the monarch and current government and because the civil war it caused to destabilise Drakia temporaily.
 * Isolation Policy: The government prepares for isolation despite having to accept UK's invition to create the Golden Commonwealth. This would isolate mostly economically but will still accept exports and imports and its transition would take 20 years to completely finish this but not all should be converted into state-run, some current crucial resources like crude oil still is imported from other countries but non-renewable resources are expected to be converted. Diplomatically, they may become isolated and could accept FTA but still remain as member in a way to "benefit defence".
 * Laws:
 * Pokemon Go: We encourage current prisoners (whether political or non-political) to play Pokemon GO to be spared but in a condition they have to play it forever and have to be heavily moderated or be forced to stay at prison. this is a way to kill them secretly (of course they will eventually top off into the water and drown)
 * Drugs: Drugs are now only used for medicinal usage, any usage of marijuana or any other drugs for recreational use will incur a minimum fine of $20,000 and had to be destroyed. A huge propaganda campaign is made out of this new law passed.
 * Unemployment: Those who are unemployed may be forced into military particularly former FYROM unless new jobs were made available to gain manpower in a future invasion. If they refuse, then they are encouraged to either move to areas with vacant jobs and being funded. This is used to current regions of Drakia/Greece excluding Paeonia.
 * Military: Military funding and research is prioritised for now, with the funding taking up to 25.5% of its economy because of this.
 * Imperial Drakhian Land Forces (IDLF) | Land Forces
 * Imperial Drakhian Maritime Forces (DURF) | Naval Forces
 * Imperial Drakhian Air Forces (IDAF) | Air Forces
 * The Royal Guard of Athens | Royal Guard: All police in Athens have being merged to military by government decision along those in Attica and are sworm to protect the Emperor at all times. The highest rank (those who act as bodyguards of the Emperor) are heavily trained and are carefully chosen by loyalty, but the lower ranks are less trained and are police. This may expand into other regions of Drakia in the future and they number up to 30,000 in total.
 * Research
 * Kapodistrias-class Aircraft Carrier: Drakia current has no aircraft carrier. Funded heavily for research, the aircraft carrier Kapodistrias is 2x more larger than all European aircraft carriers together and is expected to be done 3 years time and would plan for two. Having planned to have a minimal amount of buildings to maximise their stationed planes, it also have some sort of sufficent defence system against submarines but if its on water, weapons systems stationed around would disintegrate with heavy weapons for few hours in combat still along with planes.
 * Conflicts
 * Drako-Macedonian War (National; 9th May 2016-18th May 2016): Seeing Macedonia or what they call as FYROM, Drakia declares war against their own enemy which is obviously FYROM. Since Macedonia/FYROM has a small army compared to theirs and are outnumbered, that country quickly fell within 7 days and is integrated as the Region of Paeonia rather than "Macedonia", though lower than Bitola (Monastiri), the "Macedonian" regions (particularly West and Central) take parts of that land. The remaining equipment is absorbed to the Drakhian military.
 * Operation Vilayet (National; 4th July 2016-25th July 2016): To secure their claims over southern Albania before Italy does take over and claim their Greek minority in the area, Drakia immediately strikes Albania with full force and occupying their southern lands (area until it reaches Durres, though Durres is not integrated) and annexing them to their region Epirus.
 * Operation EOKA (National; 8th December 2016-27th December 2016): Although Drakia has already conquered land from other nations, the last war concentrates mostly on Cyprus and also subjugating the Turkish in Cyprus as well. Drakia sends a huge force and within 19 days, the whole country including Northern Cyprus fell and was annexed under the region of Cyprus. After the war, many Turkish officials are now baffled over Drakhian annexation of Cyprus (Drakhian POV)
 * Regions: After the civil war but before the Drako-Macedonian War, it was divided to 7 regions, Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Attica, Peloponnese and Crete and the Aegean Islands. By the end of the year, Cyprus and Paeonia was formed from integrated lands.
 * Analytics
 * Religion: Mostly Eastern Orthodox but there are a minority of Muslims present but are in a process of conversion.
 * Culture: Official language is Greek, but there are minorities of Aromanians and Slavs in their 2016 borders.
 * Population: Their population is 10,919,459 at the start of the year. To stop declining their population which the Drakhian government wanted to, they decide to implement a 3 child policy, though it could also decrease literacy if not handled properly, their aim is to reach 30,000,000 by 2035 only in their 2016 borders, so FYROM and other integrated lands do not count. Immigration is strictly closed so no-one could stay in the country permanently and also put an end to the migrant crisis (in this TL, Drakia expels all refugees in Idomeni, Athens and Lesvos to Turkey or if they want to stay have a long-term conversion to Christianity) as a resident unless it's for tourism or business and they want to assimilate everyone to Greek (for now), especially those people of FYROM. By the end of the year, the population (only for 2016 borders), the population rose to 11,120,000.
 * Infrastructure: Drakia starts establishing a program to improve the quality of air and start converting power to mostly solar power (mostly in their southern regions) or hydroelectric dams (mostly in their northern regions). Funding is quite intense but not as much as compared to their military funding, it also only comprises of 0.93% of the funding in total in all sectors.
 * Economy: We pay debts!!!! (no clinches kkk so i ignore) As the European Union fell apart, as a result, Drakia readopts the drachma as the currency and free conversion from euro to drachma had to be reintroduced. Most of their industry in economy involves agriculture, especially importing resources such as olives and fish is sufficient. In other sectors, cigarette production steadily declines because the government attempts to outlaw them through phasing and marble (soon will run out) and other secondary industry tends to grow further, with Drakia planning to build a state automobile company very soon. For tertiary, they tend to focus on tourism and that's it. To decrease unemployment, and maintain that at 2.5% by 2030, further construction of businesses(local malls and other kinds of stores) are built, industrial ones are mostly built around the northern parts of Drakia, this unemployment rate dropped to 21.2% by the end of the year. For GDP, the per capita grows from $25,954 (PPP) to $27,500 (PPP). This gives us a total of $305.8 billion in total

Government: After the Oaxaca protests intensify and spread all over the country, Enrique Peña Nieto quickly flees to the USA. Manuel López Obrador sees his chance and wins provisional elections.

Both Gabriel Quadri and Miguel Ángel Mancera postulate for provisional president, and Mancera wins the polls. This was until a new president was presented by Morena: Miguel Hernández Badillo.

 * Government: The government is a monarchy. The name of the Emperor of Drakia is announced to the public as Paul II of Drakia (continued from Kingdom of Greece). Originally Paul Drakious (if you want to read this, that name nearly sucked) before the Hellenic Civil War, the name Drakia is mostly dedicated to him.
 * Suppressing of the IMRO-Skopje Front (Macedonian Nationalists) and Albanian Nationalists: Huge rebellious groups of Macedonians (a.k.a. West Bulgarians) revived the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation to create an independent "Macedonia" and not only they want their land back (Paeonia, which is former FYROM) they also claim the Drakhian province of Macedonia as irredentism. Minor Albanian groups also rose in the Epirot province, mostly to create another Albania. The government announces all local police are merged with the military as the Imperial Guard of Drakia, Paeonia and Cyprus with the Attican guards to increase efficiency and boost "personnel" numbers to suppress and control a lot of Macedonian and Albanian nationalists in Paeonia and Epirus at a high rate. No propaganda is used.
 * Political Parties: Didn't get to that stuff, but there are now three parties than two major. But as time goes on, new nationalist parties especially with the Rainbow party (rapidly got popular in the Paeonia province due to "Macedonia" but its now renamed to the Macedonian Liberation Party [MLP, seriously MLP confirm]) and some newly emerged minor Albanian party. These parties are secretly suppressed by DCIC to stop gaining influence in an act of suppressing IMRO and Albanian nationalist organisations. The legislature is split to two houses, the upper house and the lower house but the upper house is more important than the lower house in statistics and is dynamic (by upper house). There are 123 seats (Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Attica, Peloponnese, Crete and the Aegean Islands, Cyprus and Paeonia) divided to 12 seats each, with Attica getting 15.
 * Drakhian Imperial Party
 * Occidental Party
 * Conservative Party
 * Other parties
 * Isolation Policy: The purposed isolation policy is still delayed in a way.
 * Laws
 * Pokemon Go: As popularity has gone down the next year, they announce this law will be abolished next year. From this, they have successfully killed 17 prisoners from drowning over the past year and last year though they are now really aware of their sightings now, making it no longer a good law to implement to them
 * Three Child Policy: Last year, Drakia has implemented the three child policy and that all couples and women to have three children by the age of 45 or face a hefty fine. Now it is enforced over the place even in the occupied region of Lebanon to keep the population growing further.
 * War Policy: The Drakhian government along with Emperor Paul has passed a law that loot can be divided to general populace. If a soldier has taken part of war and successfully looted it, then they can divide it to themselves but must give 60% of the original loot to a hidden place until war ends. Once the war ends and is successful, soldiers get their money if they want and also civilians if they work well in contribution to military or if failed, they would still give them to civilians but not for soldiers for failed efforts,
 * Military: Military is becoming more heavily funded over operatives in Operation Hanno and conscription is made to only Greek ethnics, the unemployed and some "loyalists" in FYROM (carefully done).
 * Imperial Drakhian Land Forces (IDLF) | Land Forces: Last year it had over 293,000 when they mobilised for war, now they have cionscripted and reached over 350,000 through employing the unemployed militarily.
 * Imperial Drakhian Maritime Forces (IDMF) | Naval Forces: The Drakhian navy improves even more than they could produce (this is a priority to get superiority and claim over the Eastern Mediterranean) and started producing their own rather than doing it for foreign nations. They also begin to continue building their first aircraft carrier (more funding is given). 20 submarines, 19 frigates, 2 destroyers, 12 gunboats, 7 transport ships and 6 patrol boats
 * The Drakhian Centre of Intelligence and Covet (DCIC): Is an organisation that secretly counters any existing foreign spies in the nation and gather intelligence from nearby countries (not so much), collaborating with the military indirectly and also secretly. Currently it has over 1,000 spies, mostly chosen carefully by loyalty and to conceal their identities, their identity is entirely erased through secret destruction (this is the only way to let them in even if they are loyal, if they don't want to accept their identity erased, they don't join), from birth certificates to citizenship and are stationed everywhere in Drakia, with even more in Paeonia (FYROM) and Epirus.
 * Research
 * Mind Control Chip: Planned by themselves only just this year (yeah I'm stupid today and unoriginal) to start controlling the populace as planned (and reduce nationalism), they heavily fund it among with the military as first priority now for research projects. They mostly keep their project to themselves (Drakia thinks other countries could refuse a research agreement) but with only themselves developing, they only expect this to be done by 20 years time by themselves.
 * Conflicts
 * Operation Hanno (National; January 2017-present): The current goal is to destroy Islamic State by Drakia itself. They set up as many planes in Cyprus and then attacked Lebanon to set a near base and landing base for many Drakhian soldiers to combat with (they think Cyprus isn't enough). By early March, most of Lebanon fell and was occupied and oppressed mostly by Drakia as an effort to gain control over the Levantine Sea and claim their naval superiority over that region. Around 23 transport planes (about 2,000 soldiers land here) land in Lebanon to secure land and reduce rebellions. The rest (12,000 sent) are sent to Syria to occupy and wipe the remnants of Assad government forces (secretly seeks a new government established as a vassal [they claim secretly] and annex the coast of Syria) and attack the Islamic State directly coupled with airstrike attacks (over 16 jet fighters attack Islamic militants in Raqqa, Palmyra, Kobani, Aleppo, Manbij and those that are near Damascus) from Cyprus. A larger reinforcement (from mainland Drakia) of 80,000 are sent just 6 months after the starting of Operation Hanno and a 5 month heavy training was made to push them back even further and hopefully besiege Raqqa.
 * Operation Dido (National; 8th February 2017-11th February 2017): As a goal to conquer further land over the Balkans, they declare war at Kosovo to flank Serbia in the future. Within just 3 days, Kosovo falls and Drakia annexes them. Serbia would reduce their relations with Drakia further in the future due to the annexation of Kosovo (an unrecognised country), but it is the only way to block supplies from Kosovan Albanians to the remnants of the Albanian army indirectly (that's my assumption). Over 19,000 are stationed for heavy security over that land similar in the current situation with FYROM and Albanian-minority areas.
 * Operation Liberator (National; Casus Belli: need to claim Southern Bulgaria; 9th February 2017-May 2017): Russia had invaded Bulgaria (like what), idk the stance of the situation) last year and by now they have occupied a lot of land not mentioned. To secure their claims over due to history (Macedon and the Byzantine Empire) and Drakian irredentism, they secretly sent an army of 30,000 to occupy Blagoevgrad, south Pazardzhik, south Plovdiv, Kurdzhadli, Smolyan and Khaskovo and completely secure it when it is occupied by 24th February and annex that land quietly.
 * Analytics
 * Religion: The religion is still Eastern Orthodoxy at majority, but the mainstream churches here are divided to the Macedonian Church and the official church for Drakia, the Greek Orthodox Church and there are no resolutions given to merging, so they remain completely divided to this day. Islam is also widespread in West Paeonia, but they are undergo conversion peacefully to Eastern Orthodox with secret government support to both churches (GOC gets more than Macedonia) as an aim to convert much of the Balkans as Eastern Orthodoxy. Survey shows 78.2% follow Eastern Orthodoxy, which divided is 63.9% that are part of the Greek Orthodox Church and 14.3% being the Macedonian Church. 6.5% are Sunni (excl. occupied Lebanon) and the rest of this are either atheists, agnostics or other religion (paganism)
 * Culture
 * Population: They continue to enforce the three child policy and specific laws are now implemented (see laws) even to non-Greeks. Immigration is still restricted and controlled for those who want to go in with a business visa or whatever they are on other than a tourist visa, this is due to one of the three major parties having a problem with an "Eurabian" idea according to themselves. For abortion, they have illegalise it except in certain circumstances, such as rape and that's it, but if you don't want your child (still you have to comply with the three child policy), you can put it up for adoption. By the end of the year, the population rose to 15,153,000.
 * Greece (mainland Drakia): 11,563,000
 * FYR Macedonia / Region of Paeonia: 2,320,000
 * Cyprus: 1,270,000
 * Infrastructure
 * Economy: The GDP grows from $27,500 to $29,200 due to economical reforms. (full later)
 * Education and Public Services
 * Diplomacy: nu
 * Assad's regime (Syria): An ultimatum is sent to them privately (they are not pleased fyi after trying to take land) through local military sent by Drakia. "We demand that you should surrender your arms to us even if Damascus were surrounded. We would give your lands back and withdraw from your "lands" in exchange for giving us land on the coast (all of it), save one port for you. If you refuse, then bad luck Bashar al-Assad, this is your last chance to get a deal with someone not a terrorist.". Though Drakia still calls him a criminal privately (not to him though), no-one knows what will happen (especially with probably Russia, idk wtf). It could be Drakia's downfall if they try to do so but whatever Assad would fall anyway.

 * Iberia: We accept their offer to join the New Latin Union
 * London Metro Bombings: In September 12, multiple terrorist attacks occured in the British capital, London. The most significative one was the attack on the London metro with bombs, leaving over 270 deads, shootings in multiple points of Greater London were also reported and at least 41 people were killed before the perpetrators were shot down by the police. The death toll was estimated to be around 320, and at least 500 people were injured. Nigel Farage declared the States of Emergency and encouraged british people to stand strong while the motives of the attacks were investigated. Although it was initially thought that ISIS was the responsible, this theory was debunked as the British authorities discovered that the participants of such massacre were part of an undeground group unknown by the public until now, this group mainly composed by pakistainis and indians was called "Nation of Islam" and its goal was to establish an Islamic State in the UK. The British goverment launched a crackdown against this group, and officially banned muslims and hindus from entering the country.Although this actions were seen as fascist and extreme, the terrorist attacks increased islamophobia and hatred among the population, increasing the support for these measures. 1 month after this, all muslims in the United Kingdom were forced to leave, in order to "prevent terrorism" according to Farage.
 * Death of Queen Elizabeth II: As if the September tragedy wasn't enough for the British, Queen Elizabeth II dies on November 20th at the age of 91, after having ruled the United Kingdom for 65 years. After her funeral, Prince Charles ascends to the British throne in a rather symbolic ceremony.
 * Goverment: As stated above, Nigel Farage's goverment decides to focus on restricting muslim rights gradually while using the London attacks as an excuse to call them terrorists, something that was criticized by the Opposition (a few conspirationists claim that the entire attack was made up so Farage could get ride of muslims and become more authoritarian). Eventually, muslims are forced to leave the United Kingdom as a preventive measure, although colonies and territories are exempt from this. Muslims are given the choice to move to the muslim-populated colonies of Qatar and the Maldives, but if they refused they were sent to the United States by request of president Gary Johnson. Around 50,000 muslims agreed on relocating to Qatar, while only 300 moved to the Maldives. The rest were sent to the United States, but as there are too many of them, the process is expected to take up a couple years before completion. Adittionally, nationalist propaganda is implemented by the UKIP, promoting extremie nationalism among the population in the mainland.
 * Military: The number of active troops rises up to 325,000, while reserves are reduced to just 75,000. More vessels and tanks are also produced, and military equipment from conquered nations like Hong Kong and Qatar is integrated into the British Armed Forces (detailed stuff next turn).
 * Wars & Conflicts:
 * Operation Ferdinand (January 1st-January 2nd): During 2017 New Year's Eve, 900 troops land in the Danish-owned Faroe Islands along with 10 tanks and seize control over the islands while Faroe's inhabitants are celebrating the New Year (and drunk). Because the British found practically no resistance, the Operation is declared over in the next day with no casualties and the Faroe are annexed into the Kingdom as part of Scotland. Besides of this move, the UK stays out of the so-called Operation Greenville.
 * Operation Greater Greater Tropico (January 20th-February 16th): The third phase of Operation Tropico begins, once again creatively named Greater Greater Tropico. The remaining islands of the lesser Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago are taken over by British troops stationed in Guyana and Anguilla, sucesfully taking all of the lesser Antilles for the UK. However, the operation does not end here, and the fourth and final phase begins in January 30th with the invasion of Suriname. 25,000 troops from Guyana and the mainland are used to invade Suriname along with a couple tanks and AFVs. Because Suriname has a weak military, the British quickly seize the capital and the country capitulates on February 16. Suriname is integrated into the British Territory of Tropico along with the remaining Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago. Suriname now regrets not joining Brazil when they had the chance.
 * Operation Ceylon (November 6th-present): In late 2017, Operation Ceylon is launched as the British Navy departs from BIOT to invade the Maldives. Due to Maldives having weak defence forces, only 2,000 soldiers are deployed to seize the capital. Malé surrenders to British Forces on Nocember 14th and the country capitulates, which results in Maldives becoming a British colony once again. However, the true objective of the Operation begins until November 15th, with the invasion of Sri Lanka. 50,000 troops land in different points of the island and head to the capital, but when British forces reach Colombo in mid December, fierce resistance from the Sri Lankans is found and the war continues until next year. By the end of the year, the UK held around 50% of Sri Lanka's territory.
 * Operation Red Lion (November 11th-present): Another war in Africa begins, as Equatorial Guinea and Gabon are invaded by 50,000 British troops. This operation is named Operation Red Lion for no particular reason (although unofficial sources claim that Farage named it like that because of a "dank meme"). After a few weeks of fighting, the small Equatorial Guinean coast is seized by the Royal Army along with the capital, Malabo (located in Bioko island), causing Equatorial Guinea to capitulate and surrender to the UK. Equatorial Guinea is annexed as a colony, just like The Gambia. The war continues with Gabon being invaded, since Gabon is also weak, three quarters of the country are occupied by British forces by the end of the year but it hasn't surrendered yet.
 * Operation Kiwi (January 3rd-present): Plans for making a coup against New Zealand and establish a pro-British goverment to basically turn NZ into a colony begin. However, in order to increase chances of succes, the UK will take multiple years to prepare the coup, and for now only early stages of the plan are done.
 * Economy: Sorta stable, rises with integration of Qatar and Hong Kong
 * Research & Technology: Currently developing mind control chip and some new tanks.
 * Colonies & Territories:
 * Tropico (Lesser Antilles): Although the territory of Tropico originally included Guyana, Suriname and all of the Lesser Antilles, the British authority decided to recreate the territory of Guyana, which now also included Suriname, reducing Tropico to just the Lesser Antilles. The UK invests in the tourism industry, as Tropico has the potential to become a popular tourist destination.
 * Guyana: Military bases and outposts are made, while the local goverment appointed by the British decides to focus on modernizing the country and increasing trade by exporting more products like bananas.
 * Qatar: The UK starts rebuilding what was destroyed during the colonial war (which isn't really too much since the priority was causing as less destruction as possible) and by the end of the year Qatar is nearly the same than before the war.
 * The Gambia: Military bases are built and the governor of the colony begins a program to provide education to all gambian children for the sake of teaching them English.
 * Maldives: Military bases are built, and scientists start discussing different ways of solving the sea level problem.
 * Demographics: More Whites and less foreigners because far right goverment and nationalism.
 * Diplomacy:
 * New Zealand: The UK guarantees their independence for no particular reason.
 * Japan & China: The UK supports the Japanese in the diplomatic conflict regarding a hacked satellite. When tensions begin to escalate, the UK creates an anti-PRC coalition to aid the Japanese in a hypothethical war. However, after the PRC agreed on ceding Hong Kong to the British, the UK withdrew from such coalition but will still aid Japan if war breaks out.
 * South Africa: Continues to collaborate on mind-control chip.
 * Russian Empire: Their request for a FTA and non-aggresion pact is accepted.
 * DRC Civil War: The UK participates in the civil war by supporting Mboso Futa with military supplies and troops.

The United States of America: Democrats and Republicans continue to adapt their stances on numerous issues to gain votes. Currently, the Libertarian and Republican parties are the most well liked. This year, Congress and Johnson begin to this year, but not to the extent as last year. This year, 230,000 men are recruited, and 30,000 of these are put into the reserves. After the election of an Anti-American leader who is opposed to unification, American forces launch a massive attack into Canada. Due to a disproportionately weaker military, most of the major cities in Ontario, which are close to the border, are overrun by March. By December, most of southern Canada is occupied, and the nation is split in half as American forces reach the Hudson Bay. The war is expected to end within 2 years. 7,202 American soldiers are killed this year. Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are added as states. With the wars currently ongoing against Denmark in Europe, President Johnson sees it fit to quickly take Greenland to secure the northeastern flank of North America to be helpful against possible invasions and a base for planes attacking northern Canadian military outposts. Thus, American paratroopers quickly land in all major towns on the island, and Danish forces on the island surrender. Greenland is annexed as the 54th American state. American casualties are 8 soldiers who die of hypothermia. forces are sent into Mexico this year to assist the government to regain control over parts of the nation in anarchy. This year, most of northwestern Mexico is stabilized, and this reduces illegal immigration into the United States by 128,000 people, as stabilized areas and a resurgent Mexican economy allows for less people leaving. American casualties are 3 ICTT-16s, and 24 soldiers. American forces that have recently seized Djibouti (now called American East Africa) now receive orders to seize control of the Gulf of Aden from Yemen to block shipping from American and British enemies. That day, American forces seize the island in the strait and lock down the waterway. About 700 American troops land in Yemen and seize the other side of the strait. No deaths are reported and no further attacks are made. (Note: the Yemen NPC can attempt war to bring the occupied region back under it's control). American forces based in Pacific island begin a second string of occupations, with American forces quickly seizing control over all remaining island nations in the Pacific Ocean, with the exception of major nations like New Zealand. The only fighting that occurs is in the Solomon Islands, and that ends within 10 days. Only 12 American soldiers are killed. The islands are all added to the state of Hawaii, now renamed to Pacifica. begin joint exercises, and an official alliance is signed. American destroyers and submarines also start to escort Japanese naval and civilian vessels in international waters. MPs, and 20 T-16 Tanks are sent into Mexico to assist the current government in regaining complete control over parts of the country from drug cartels. that the PRC refrain from harassing Japanese vessels or they will be fired upon by American escorts. The United States also creates an economic embargo against the Peoples' Republic of China, refusing to let any Chinese imports into the country. Other nations are encouraged to join the embargo. The American Pacific Fleet, which is passing China towards India, also sails in the South China Sea region claimed by the PRC on April 4. CIA agents assist 26,000 Venezuelans by arming them with 2000s era military equipment (America uses new equipment now) to topple the current regime and replace them with a more pro-western government willing to allow oil companies from the United States, Mexico, and Britain to set up shop in the country.

Russian Empire (official) | Empire of Russian States (alternate) | Empire of the Rus' (unofficial)
 * Government & Politics: At the end of last year, the situation in the Russian Empire stabilizes to a point where no major problems will occur. The approvement of Emperor George I is getting bigger along with Monarchism in the nation. Although there were originally plans on the President's and Prime Minister's position to remain, as Russia wishes to reform itself similiar to how it was before the Communists governed Russia, but being more democratic. The bicameral system wasn't removed, but the Federal Assembly was renamed to Imperial Assembly along with the Federation Council renamed Imperial Council. As the system of semi-absolute monarchy wasn't explained before, the Emperor and other members of the Imperial Family (if they have the appropriate position) have the same legislative power as the Federal/Imperial Assembly (they can declare war, approve treaties, etc.), however, if two-thirds of either the State Duma or the Imperial Council approve on stopping the Emperor, their action will not be approved.
 * Political parties: Following the declaration of the Russian Empire, the political parties of Russia have been reorganized. The United Russia party, which had most of the seats in the parliament, got much less votes after the death of Putin and Medvedev. Instead, the party previously known as the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) has changed its policies and renamed itself to Imperialist Party, and became the leading party in the Imperial Assembly. Although there are people who wanted to align on the same sides as Russia, because of their actions against another Empire, Japan, which the Russian Empire wishes to have good relations with as a whole, the approval of the Communist Party has dropped and the party itself merged into the party 'A Just Russia' instead, renamed into Socialist Party. Currently, the seats are assigned like this:
 * Imperialist Party of the Russian Empire (IPRF) - 247 seats
 * Socialist Party of Russia (SPR) - 145 seats (opposition)
 * United Russia (UR) - 58 seats (opposition)
 * Imperial Armed Forces of Russia | Military
 * General: Since the Russian Empire wants people to be motivated to join the army, the so-called Merit System is introduced in all public classes of the military, which boosts the recruitment of people. The Merit System is based on someone's personal contribution to the military, with a certain amount of points given for designated actions. It can also motivate people during wars, as people gaining a certain amount of points can gain a new rank in the military, but it also needs a good personal evaluation of the higher-ups.
 * Imperial Ground Forces of Russia | Army: As countries around the world are starting to expand their arsenal, the Russian Empire also continues to produce new equipment for the Ground Forces. In top of that, more and more people join the army to gain benefits, which results in this at the end of the year (newest models of a certain vehicle are still in brackets):
 * 1,148,000 active personnel
 * 2,931,440 reserve personnel
 * 16,142 tanks (700 OT-14)
 * 33,244 armored fighting vehicles (1000 BM-15)
 * 6,588 self-propelled guns (7000 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV)
 * 5,230 towed-artillery (550 2B18)
 * 3,956 multiple-launch rocket systems (310 BM-35 Rad)
 * Imperial Aerospace Forces of Russia | Aerospace: Ever since the Aerospace Defence Forces and the Air Force merged, most of the upgrades were going into the Air Force, but along with the expanded growth of the Air Force, the Space Forces also managed to expand this year, bringing 1 more new military satellite into orbit. At the end of the year, the result are the following (newest models of a certain vehicle are still in brackets):
 * 340,400 active personnel
 * 67 multirole jet (22 Sukhoi RuM-38)
 * 775 fighters (25 Sukhoi Su-37)
 * 1531 fixed-wing attack aircraft (18 Beriev B-10)
 * 1248 transport aircraft (32 Antonov An-221)
 * 385 trainer aircraft (15 Yakovlev Yak-180)
 * 1,284 helicopters (18 Mil Mi-19)
 * 512 attack helicopters (12 Mil Mi-37)
 * Conflicts
 * Hungarian Civil War (Coup d'etat: Hungary; February 12, 2016 - Present): Although the Monarchist policies worked, they only worked on the eastern part of Hungary, resulting in a longer Civil War. Although Russia doesn't take part of the Civil War, but they heavily support Monarchist Hungary, resulting in them taking more land. On the acquired lands, mass propaganda is released to support Monarchism.
 * Livonian Unification War (Armed Conflict: Lithuania, Estonia; April 20, 2017 - June 12, 2017): As Latvia managed to remove Sweden from the Baltics with Russian help, they accepted the vassalage to Russia. To expand Latvian power, with the help from the Russians, Lithuania and Estonia is attacked by Latvia, and by June, both countries capitulate to Latvia. On June 12, 2017, the Treaty of Riga is signed and the three countries unite into the Kingdom of Livonia with Raimonds Vējonis as the King.
 * Russian Conquest of Belarus (Armed Conflict: Belarus; May 12, 2017 - May 30, 2017): Ever since Russia turned into an Empire, they have been eyeing the Republic of Belarus, as the rule in Belarus still haven't changed, with Belarus still being called "Europe's lasst dictatorship" by journalists. Since Russia both wishes to expand and wishes to end the authoritarian rule in Belarus, they declare war on them on May 12, 2017, and through the course of the month, they manage to obtain major areas of Belarus, with them capitulating on May 27. On May 30, 2017, the Treaty of Minsk is signed, with Belarus becoming part of the Russian Empire, but as a Kingdom inside it (unlike Latvia/Livonia and Bulgaria which are vassals).
 * Russian Conquest of Somalia (Armed Conflict: Somalia; July 18, 2017 - August 21, 2017): As the country of Somalia is in chaos because pirates, inner civil war and terrorists, Russia, wishing to pacify the region because of their regional trade interests, declares war on all territory of Somalia on July 18, 2017. Through a month of attacks, Russia manages to occupy most of Somalia and manages to weaken the anti-governmental forces. On August 21, 2017, the Treaty of Mogadishu is signed between the two nations. Somalia will temporarily be (officially) part of the Russian Empire and when the situation has stabilized (as the anti-governmental forces still have power), they will either be released as Russian vassal or an independent nation depending on their choices.
 * Diplomacy
 * People's Republic of China: Although originally we wishes for better relations between the two nations, because of China's actions and the coalition against them, we decline their advances.
 * Imperialist Empire of Japan: Although we had our differences in the past, after governmental changes in both nations, we wish to make our relations better. And to do that, we wish to sign a free trade agreement, a non-agression pact wish Japan, and if possible, create an alliance because of the current situation in the world. About their deal about buying Sakhalin, we decline, but we wish to make another deal instead: Russia and Japan will gain some territory in Sakhalin and Hokkaido as a fully autonomous territory, but to increase trade, they will expand these cities to larger trade cities if possible. We also join the coalition if its still intact.
