There's now a map of our military districts in the main post. EuchreJack, you have the 6th Tank Division in Bryansk:
Zrk2, you have the 191st Infantry Division, in the same corps as Taricus' 163rd Mechanized, both of which remain in Leningrad.
Alrighty. Time to get down to business. Ministers, all the information you need (ish) is down below. Ask me any questions you have.

Production information:
74 IC allocated to consumer goods production
38 IC allocated to new production
34 IC allocated to supplies production
25 IC allocated to upgrades
15 IC allocated to reinforcement
Army receives 20 IC and 2 research teams
Air Force receives 11 IC and 2 research teams
Navy receives 7 IC and 1 research team
The navy already has two submarines and a destroyer in progress, costing its full 7 IC allotment. They'll be done by the end of March.
The armed forces are in a sad state, hence the large investment in upgrades and reinforcements. We have 1600 manpower and are gaining 1 per day. Unrest should reach 0 in 253 days, at which point we should have another 12 IC to play with. Most of that will probably go to building more factories, which is the only way we'll be able to challenge the US in the later game.
The investment in consumer goods is what's paying for research and unrest reduction.
The world is quiet, little suspecting the war whose fires will soon rage unstoppably across it...
