It is now mid 2013. You quietly begin raising the price of the Canunawine. By now, nearly the entire eastern seaboard is saturated, and the drink is making in-roads into the mid-west, gulf of Mexico, and California. The rest are slowly being infected as well, but not as quickly.
Already we are able to fully fund the CSA to the same level of NASA purely through wine and energy sales (we have raised the price to 3/4ths of the lowest competitors) and the profits continue to grow. Soon we will be able to either stop collecting taxes from Canadian citizens entirely or use the tax money for Super-Socialism.
The CSA begins building a extremely modern complex for testing, research, and missile launches on the Turks and Cacaos, which we have begun flirting with in earnest as the 11th province. As stated, we already obtained permission for our launch facility in exchange for free energy. As the Turks and Caicos are near the equator, this will make launch much easier than otherwise.
We will be able to begin the first all-Canadian, cold-fusion powered launch vehicle within 5 years. We just don't know what we want to do up there, besides moon colonization and satellites. However, we've already managed to bring 2% of NASA scientists into the CSA with promises of more funding, and they have a few ideas of things we could do in space.
There is a minor breakthrough in the matter synthesis branch of research. We are now able to extract enormous amounts of energy from materials, freezing them to below 100 degrees Kelvin instantly. With this, any fusion power plant we set up will have a ready access to the Cold it needs, and our scientists are already hard at work weaponising this process.
ALERT: We have received reports that the Russians in the University of Kamchatka have made a similiar breakthrough as our cold fusion power plants. They've already begun exporting some amount to northern China and Japan, as well as North Korea and South Korea, with plans to expand and move in to the American market as well as the Indian market. How shall we respond to this economic aggression?
