It is now 2014. You have begun a campaign of economic sanctions and incentives to deteriorate the Russian economy, as well as bring Russian nationals to the cities of Canada. With the new, freshly deglaciated land in Greenland, many Russians settle in the countryside of the newest province. Already the population in the cities has reached 75 000, and rapid city development has begun in the northern coasts.
An attempt to sabotage the Russian reactors failed, as the security was too great. Our best agents were lost, and any espionage in the future will be less effective. Reports indicate that the security was upped just after we asked them to join into an energy bloc.
Our offer to export cheap energy to Japan was accepted, but South Korea, North Korea, and China refused, possibly as they felt it would be too dangerous to anger the Russians due to their proximity. Our probings into south-east Asia and India reveal we still have a chance to corner the market.
In America, saturation of Canunawine has reached a plateau. All cities have become addicted, and most of the countryside has too. There are a few regions where the locals either have not heard of it, or refuse to try it due to it being "foreign", and any attempt to crack those markets would cost too much to be worth it. As it is, all of Canadas government pre-cold-fusion is entirely funded by wine sales, and we have begun probing the European and the rest of the Americas.
In addition to the wine sales, we have bumped up the price of energy and wine extremely in certain industrial cities in America, with the intent to bend them to our will. It is too early to tell who, if any, will break.
The newest Canadian ships have just come off the line, enabling us to project ever more Canadian power into the Pacific coast. They have yet to be christened, and need a name before their first shake-down cruise.
Finally, our first rocket launch was successful, with a rendezvous with the International Space Station, and a 3-day orbit period. We now have guaranteed space capability, and already plans are being drawn up to land on the moon and set up a colony.
