A few precisions: A) I totally reserve the right to miss some of your orders if they're not all conveniently packed into a single post per player. B) While I consider that as GM I'm the Alpha and Omega of this world, feel free to criticize my decisions. I reserve the right to not listen to you however. C) Turns will be either 48 hours long, or until everyone post an action. Countries that post no actions will have no actions done at all. So yeah, if someone invade you, you
might want to post a turn.
Also, normally you should be fine just reading your part (although there is interesting stuff in other sections). Bold stuff however is stuff that require actions from another government, so look out for bold segments.
ICBM Pilot: I'll need a color. I mean, the sign up sheet is basically two lines, country and color. You can do it!

You sign an open border treaty with the US to complement NAFTA and the visa deal you already have. Citizens of both countries can now travel, work and live on both side of the borders. A lot of American start immigrating to get better healthcare.
You order the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) to start working on weaponizing pepper spray. You get a memo stating that this would break the Chemical Weapon Convention, but thankfully nothing is leaked. In a month, your scientists come up with various ideas, from crop-dusters to adapting old Cold War era chemical weapons warhead. Another project work on increasing the time OC gas stays airborne and should be ready for next month.
You try to encourage Economic Growth, but words don't seems to be okay. Various advisers come with different ideas, from lowering taxes to infrastructure spending or increasing oil export capabilities.
ChinaThe presidents of SCO countries save Russia come back to you offering to sign a declaration whereas all countries pledge to help defend each others in case of an unprovoked foreign intervention. While not legally binding, it would be a very strong message indeed.
A mix of interest rates hike and new zoning laws is put into place. This prove wildly unpopular with real-estate tycoons and local party officials (who benefits from selling public land to the developers), but the beefed-up
Central Commission for Discipline Inspection conveniently finds evidence that the more vocals of your opponents all are corrupt.
However, in several boom town, residents who cannot move because of the
hukou system start complaining about the lack of available housing.
GermanyYou recall you ambassador in Russia and ramp up the military alert level. However, despite the distraction of the diplomatic situation, the population doesn't like your ditching of the deal with the SPD or the widespread economic change. Protests erupts in every large cities, while a large encampment establish itself in front of the Brandenburg Tor. Civil disobedience also prevent you from implementing most of your policies, although you do manage to increase the command capabilities of the Bundeswehr.
Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech republic and Austria all points at the EU and wonder why you want a new organization. Latvia do agree to join the Confederation of Nations.
RussiaYou manage to convince Lukashenka to let you route troops through his country and you start invading the country. Despite fierce resistance by the Ukrainian Army, they are quickly overwhelmed and the government in Kiev soon flee West,
trying to find political asylum somewhere. Meanwhile, all over Ukraine (although concentrated in the West) units of Partisan under the
UPA flag are assembling and harassing your troops. In the Crimea, you get news of Syrian and Chechen jihadis coming to help their Tatars brethren.
Back home however everything go according to plans and the small anti-war protests are swamped by the massive pro-war patriotic marches. And you didn't even have to pay for all the marchers!
LatviaYou assemble a list. It's not perfect (lots of cases of mixed ancestry for example), but it should be good enough.
You also declare your support for the Ukrainian partisans. They're thankful, but would prefer guns.
UKYou boost up military spending a bit. Given the increasing global tensions, the people seems mostly accepting of it.
DPRKSouth Korea and Japan both are frightened by your declaration and
calls on the US for help. They also threaten to cut off all humanitarian aid if you don't stop.
PolandYou contact the Lithuanian government, but they point out that NATO and the EU already unites both your countries. Your troops move to the Ukrainian border and watch as the Russian Army sweep the Ukrainian aside.
Given the situation, your massive increase in spending only trigger few protests, your army is steadily growing.
LuxembourgYou offer
Jean-Claude Van Damme a post a spokesman for your government. The world is puzzled.
But he seems pleased with the offer.You agree to an open border policy with Canada. A lot of Americans emigrate north for the better health care. Japan and South Korea request your help to stop the DPRK from producing nukes, and you use the excuse of needing more troops in the Pacific regions to send a large Navy contingent with several troops transport sailing toward Australia.
FranceAs in many other countries, you have massive protests, but yours seems to focus on the publication of a children book rather than your policies, which leave you a bit puzzled. You increase spending and pass several regulations, causing the MEDEF to whine and the European Commissions to worry about budget deficit, but it should be fine for now.
IranYour change in internal rhetoric seems to please the more hardliner, although ordinary Iranian would prefer bread to words. You increase your spending on Cyber Warfare and Defense, and implement new safety guidelines for all computers. Among other thing, you reorganize the network so that all the critical computer are either networked to nothing or to an internal Iranian Intranet, that can easily be separated into parts to prevent viruses from spreading.
IndiaQatar is glad for any protection it can get. You try to stockpile oil and gas, but you're lacking in production capabilities for both, and trying to buy more may trigger a currency crisis. You do launch a countrywide initiative to build more power plants, but it'll take year before they come online.
You start expanding the Indian navy.
DenmarkYour fellow Nordic nations refuses and try to convince you to stay in the EU. The last thing the EU need now is internal instability. Even Norway who is not a member threaten an embargo if you leave.
Massive protests erupt at the though of so much cash being spent on a religion no one practice. The building site is soon occupied by a protester encampment. Works begin on the port facility, but the protests slow down the works massively.
AustraliaBoth nations are interested, but would like to know more about the specifics. They also complain about the increased taxes on coal, who make their energy import more expensive, and would like you to stop being silly about refugees.
Lots of Australian sign up as reservists, and several large thermal solar power plant start construction in the outback. The ongoing campaign against New Zealanders strike many Australians as odd, but after a few weeks it pays: the
New Zealand Embassy was vandalized, with people spray-painting "Kiwis go home!" on the facade. IsraelYou manage to buy a few old artifacts from private collectors, but all the nations you approach refuse your offer. You step up the border patrols, soon resulting in several deaths, terrorists according to your general staff, civilians according to Hamas. Several Arabs countries send you Sternly Worded Letters of Disapproval.
You receive a report from Mossad agents in the US station that they're fairly certain Indiana Jones is a work of fiction.
Your media blitz seems to be slowly working. Your works on the horrors inflicted on Tasmanian aborigines get the Maori leaders and the left on your side, while the right like the idea of more sheep pasture.
Vatican CityYou restore the Palatine Guard, Corsican Guard, Papal Zouaves and Noble Guard, and expand the Swiss guard, as well as several othe defunct regiment, recruiting from the large number of jobless Italians. Your recruits are a bit raw, but you should soon have an armed force of around 6,000. You are seriously lacking in trained officers however.
