Intrigue:
Get the NZ ambassador to the US to keep us updated on the situation on the ground in the US, with particular attention to the governmental situation as it develops.

The Great Leader of True Korea may have made a fatal error in his calculations driven on by his True Korean arrogance.

(If I don't suicide troll (i.e. nuke everything possible) but die is it possible to become a new country?)

Hey, don't give up! Pull back now, plead some superfluous provocation. If you can shell an island and get away with it, you can pull back here. Declare a cease-fire so that the UN has time to create a commission to investigate the fiendish South Koreans.
*Ahem*
Speaking as a strictly neutral party of course.

On one hand, I'd like to see the rolls, but on the other, it breaks me immersion. Ehh, yeah, put them up.

The Islamic Republic of Iran
Foreign affairs
>Pressure Assad to move to win decisively or settle, soon, as Iran's patience is wearing thin. And Iran gives him the guns.
>Similarly, lean on Hezbollah to behave near the Israeli border, at least for a while. Tell them we might be on the verge of something interesting.
>Continue not giving a fuck about the UN. Give no fucks, take no prisoners, that's how we roll.
Domestic affairs
>Must modernize! Iran's economy is fairly centralized, so it should be easy to manipulate the slowly growing free market. Focus investments into industrial tech and factories. Recede some government control and incentivize new owners to grow and expand, keeping an eye open to avoid corruption or exploitation.

I've been putting up a date at the start of each turn. So far, we're doing 1 turn/1 month.

Shoot thought I did and I wasn't blaming you sheb just hmm thought I did whatever could you get me a status report then because I dont know whats going on.

Sure. Here you are.


Actually I've been a bit rash with Yourmaster. It's just that having the world's biggest power nuke countries at random is a game-breaker. North Korea acting crazy is more normal, because it's Best Korea. So don't give up yet, but sure, you can get another country if your government get overthrown.

This is just a thought, but a war would probably last quite a long time, even if one side was far more powerful, due to the terrain of the Koreas and based on the last war (though DPRK had China's support that time). Just a question but how would you regulate the time for a long war?

I will probably post my action later today because I am still trying to decide what to do.

Chinese Orders, Turn 5
1. Establish new alternate sources of covert funding and operation in Taiwan, to replace those assets burned in the previous failure.
2. Temporarily close the North Korean border, allowing food aid and refugees to cross the border.  Reduce all oil shipments to North Korea, along with steel, iron, machined goods, and the such, by 25%, to avoid preventing the North Korean population from being able to heat their homes or fuel their power plants.  Redeploy military forces to the Shenyang Military Region in order to enforce this mandate.
2A. In order to "deter accidental airstrikes" against the food aid shipments, offer to the North Koreans (RE: Erils, include a note in your orders if you accept) to allow Chinese guards to escort the aid shipments, so long as it remains outside of the warzone.
2B. Begin establishment of refugee camps at the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture to temporarily house refugees from North Korea, with an eventual aim at their return home once the war ends.
2C. Warn North Korea that any use of nuclear, biological, or chemical weaponry may result in a reconsideration of those goods permitted to cross into North Korea. 
3. Move naval forces into the Yellow Sea.  Punctiliously observe the maintenance of our national waters, and declare Chinese waters and airspace inviolable by any war combatants to either side. 
4. Continue expansion of submarine forces. 
5. Offer to send civilian relief (food and temporary housing) to South Korea to aid the refugees from Seoul, including the deployment of our remaining two Type 071 amphibious docks to Mokpo and Incheon, along with sufficient military escort to confirm their security in a warzone.  Stress to North Korea that this is not military aid. 
6. Accelerate funding in China's space program. 
7. Establish an international commission with Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, and Malaysia to determine the status of the Spratley and Paracel Islands.  Continue to maintain claims to the entirety of the Paracel Islands (which are Chinese-controlled in their entirety de facto as well) in order to maintain the military security of Hainan Island and Chinese interests in the South China Sea, but signal a willingness to negotiate on the long-term status of the Spratley Islands.  Propose as well a possible extension of the 1978 economic agreements regarding the exploitation of South China Sea oil between Vietnam and China to a possible multinational consortium comprising all of the affected nations to govern mineral and oil rights in the region for all of the involved nations.  Offer the potential for economic investment in the other nations in return for coming to an agreement, pointing to our fruitful partnerships with Central Asia and Mongolia. 
7A. Should negotiations on the South China Sea succeed, begin steps towards the implementation of the proposed military alliance with the ASEAN nations.

Chinese Long-Term Order Timers
1. Amphibious Ships/Submarines: 10/11 months
2. Carriers: 19/20 months
3. Astana Pipeline: 11/11 months

I wrote the Japanese turns, and re-wrote the turns result for China and Mexico (I was running out of steam and they were of very low quality.

Germany

Foreign Affairs

Begin sending soldiers by train to the eastern border of Poland. Erect temporary facilities, ie, FOB areas for the troops. Continue to pressure the UN that, despite the current insane US and DPRK, Russia is still a closer threat.  Request cross training of troops with Poland and Lithuania.

Publicly denounce the US nuclear action against Australia, and send aid in the form of chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate.

Ignore the DRPK, but pull out diplomats.

Internal Production
Continue to increase armed forces, while using propaganda to increase the lure of the army.

I'm just going to point out that specifics have more chance to succeeds than vague stuff. "Boost the economy" will fails, "Try to secure preferential treatment for my sugar exporting industries in the EU in exchange for passing legislation protecting freedom of the press." is much more likely to succeed (if the EU doesn't implode in nuclear fire on the same turns of course).

Some goes for orders like "Try to use propaganda to boost the army's standing". You did that already, trying the same again  will have minimal effects at best. But maybe you can think of something better to achieve the same goal. Not going to give you ideas, but I'm sure you can think of something.
