This game takes place in fictional Universe, not unlike ours. The Great War has only recently come to an end, and our country, though not heavily involved, still bears the scars of this devastating event. The fighting was not over however. Their eyes opened by the senseless slaughter, the people of our Glorious nation have revolted and overthrown the brutal monarchy that had reigned over the country for almost 200 years. A new government of the people was installed, and peace and prosperity restored. This is however not a time for festivities war is once again looming over our country. Our neighbors have refused to recognize our country, and covet our lands.
Our nation sits on the tip of a large peninsula, and also controls a couple of small islands nearby. A large mountain range obstructs our only land route to our largest neighbor, so we're mostly reliant on sea shipping for resources. Luckily, our nation is rich in resources. The waters for our coasts hold plenty of fish, and the mountain range mines produce both coal and iron, fuelling our steel Industry. Additionally, the formerly Royal mines on the Crow's Isle ensure that we have plenty of funds for oil, rubber and other resources.
So Today is the first day of your new job, as head of our nation's only institution on military development. Our military is severely hollowed out after the revolution, and most of the navy has fled together with the monarchy, or has been sunk to avoid falling into enemy hands. Our equipment is seriously outdated, and the threat of war once again looms over the nation. You've been given control of a small military base, or what's left of it.

Designer notes:
I am using plenty of abstractions and best guesses. So well, when giving details, please say what's special about them.
I will occasionally come in with demands from the government and military to develop a general/specific type of thing. You are otherwise permitted to design any kind of hardware you like. Note that the more outlandish technologies you propose may be impossible, have severe drawbacks, or take far more resources than you have to develop. Even for entirely reasonable projects, there will be some element of chance where what you want to produce will end up costing more or less than you anticipated, or what you get may not exactly match your proposed design.
Design of vehicle and ships is a large project, design of new large weaponry is a medium project, and modifications of either and small weaponry design are a small project.
Rules1. All proposals must be bolded
2. All proposals must have an unique number
-In case of accidental duplication, please split in 6a and 6b, or add one to the end of the queue. Don't move up everything else. That causes confusion
3. All proposals must be marked as a Large, Medium or Small project.
4. Design proposals begin at 1, for each year
-Proposals continued from last year will be placed in italics, and include the year before the number. (Only do this for proposals that were worked upon).
5. Production proposals begin at A, for each year.
6. Other proposals, like reorganization of the team or political war plan suggestions will be marked using the greek alphabet
7. Proposals and Votes are unlimited. Please don't abuse this.
8. Each proposal that doesn't follow these rules will be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Example: 1. I propose we mount lasers on sharks 1920:1 Seeing as the project wasn't finished last year due to a shark shortage, I propose we continue with mutated Sea Bass1: All rules for proposals apply except the following.
2: Modifications to proposals will have a number in the format of proposal.sub-proposal.
3: A modification may be supportive (default) or a counter (must be explicit).
4: You can vote for a Proposal and it's supportive subproposal, but not for a proposal and it's counter subproposal.
1.1 I think we should go all the way and mount the National Ignition Facility on the head of a sharkasourus.
1.2 I counter propose that we should instead create lasers that shoot beams composed of sharks. Format for votes1: you must specify the proposal number explicitly.
2: you must use the word vote.
3: Each user should make all of their votes with one post if possible
4. You should edit in your vote into the proposal tracker (template below). Always use the latest quoted example.

Nope, no Innovation. Just copying the old setting over and over again. Worked last time...))
