Imperialism

[Flagmauth]

That's right, it's back! The original nations RP. Pick a country, any country, and you get to control the actions of said country.

Some restrictions include:
You can't do stuff that WOULD NOT HAPPEN. For instance, North Korea can't take on the USA, and you can't override massive cultural differences by making Pakistan and India one country. Not without some difficulty. You start with the money, military, resources and culture that your country has as of 2011. Want more? Figure out how to get it.

I claim Russia.

[Savurl]

I claim India!

First of all, I would like to say that India has the most awesomely progressive politics for a country of its size. Second, a part of the first, it has an awesome (5-or 10-) year plan, in the old Russian style. They expect to see great growth in their GDP, 10% to be specific, and have already seen huge growths in their manufacturing, 18.5% in a single year.

It also has started to tax coal to pay for the pollution it creates, turning the economy into a bright future of renewable energy.

I start my belevolent dictatorship with a command to create a brilliantly shining city. I plan to upgrade Guwahati into the most high tech, progressive city ever, and researching how to upgrade my other cities in the most effective ways.

I also start upgrading slums around my cities by placing waddles (water retention devices, like long tubes filled with straw or other materials) around raises in the land to prevint landslides, and placing 16 Solar powered LED light poles for every square mile of slum, so that those in the slums do not use kerosene lamps, which are a huge waste. Also for every square mile of slum, I place a small computer center made from donated old computers in a concrete stucture. In ten or so years, the public will be much more educated, and this act will hopefully endear the public to my true efforts to improve India. I also subsidise the building of Sikh temples (through land grants) that will double as community centers. These Sikh temples provide a free vegetarian meal everyday to the public, which many partake in. It is a nutritious and and community building meal. Also at these meals, I intend to tell the Sikh temple-keepers to tell the public of my recent endeavors, as well as placing these on the web, and on radio. This will connect me to the public in the manner of THeodore Rossevelt in his 'fireside chats'.

I may provide more year one changes in further posts.

Russian politician Oleg Sarov rallies support among the common people and becomes President. His presidency is marked largely by the formation of a large and well-trained police force and the re-establishment of the KGB. Effort is made to strengthen the infrastructure and the economy, to general delight of Russians who are unhappy with the state of their country. Drafts are prepared for sweeping government reforms, including a call for the reformation of the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Approval ratings are high, though some countries of the former Soviet Union are reluctant to return to a Russian-dominated Union. Sarov also begins restructuring the military, using examples set by Nazi Germany, Imperialist Japan, and the USA itself. Morale is generally high as plans are made for the extensive use and marketing of Siberian resources, and shipping is encouraged to stimulate the fledgling economy.

why is it always a nazi like war? -_-

[Flagmauth]

[It's not.]

I here by Claim Ireland!

The Socialist leader of Ireland's Socialist Party has Taken Control over the Country. They keep the basic Governmental Structure... but after years of socialist propaganda, The Taking over was swift and Unchallenged. The Rest of the World Watching in horror as the Once Small country Of Ireland jumps into the spotlight of all We hold Dear.

John MCFlannery The Current President, has a Life long term as leader thanks to the Changes made by the National Socialist party, and the Irish Revolution of Socialists.

[Flagmauth]

The Russian president Sarov begins a sweeping wave of reforms, strengthening the country and ultimately reforming the USSR, which immediately annexes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and part of Eastern Ukraine. As the Soviet economy builds, Sarov begins to pressure the United States to return to its isolationist policies and pay off its debts to other countries. No real effort has yet begun on the Soviet military, but Moscow is one of the first governments to officially recognize the new government of Ireland, opening relations with the new nation.

I claim Great Britain! Great Britain is now ruled by a Czar named Ambrosius Fletcher, who is ruling with a good fist and turning the country into a military power.

[Flagmauth]

[Waitwaitwait. Tsarism in Britain? You'd better have a good excuse for that, and for apparently removing Parliament from the picture.]

Soviets continue to apply diplomatic pressure to the US, attempting to get them back to the isolationist policies of the pre-WWII era. After a week or so, the US media catches on and massive public support begins to clamor for the US to mind its own borders.

Meanwhile, Soviet heavy industry is slowly gaining momentum, with resources from Siberia to fuel it. Military designers are working on superb weaponry, vehicles, and aircraft, as old models are scrapped for parts. The newly reestablished KGB begins training to send agents into the EU to break it up, presumably because it would provide a better market for Soviet exports and less strong an potential enemy. The remainder of the Ukraine is plunged into civil war, thanks to KGB instigation, and the USSR annexes the country to stop the anarchy currently going on inside. Of course, they promise full representation to the Ukrainians, unlike the previous USSR.

[Death*Knight]

Lol, Brandon's going to fail at the excuse for having parliment being removed! XD

Obviously, I will claim Japan, since I am a japanese.

[Flagmauth]

[I specifically avoided using those words. My goal wasn't to annoy or tease him, it was to keep the RP somewhat logical.]

The USSR displays hesitance in acknowledging the new British government. They begin to build Vladivostok into a large port city, intending to start a profitable trade with Japan; raw materials for electronics.

[Death*Knight]

Japan's emperor Akihito (the current emperor of Japan since 1989) kindly accepts the offer by the USSR, which increased trade with Russia more.

[Savurl]

[For some reason the forum kicked me out of the thread just about when I was goin to post, and I had typed about two paragraphs worth. ]

So, India reverses the capitalization it has been doing. It started that process because the public was complaining about inefficiencies in the communistically controlled businesses. I whip the system into shape by having reglar inspections as well as throwing out heavy propaganda of making India the best country in the world, acheivable if we work together to revolutionize India. The public takes it and accepts the reversal I declare that is capitalistically controlled businesses becoming communistically controlled.

Also, those who do not work hard enough get 'demoted'. If they reach the bottom most level, we make them indentured slaves, until they work hard enough in their spare time (8 hours a day, not including 6 hours of sleep required by the masters) to purchase themselves up a societal rank. Caste system go!

To determine who works the hardest, we sum their taxes to the country, paired with a multiplier( unemployed is zero, Reasearchers and engineers are the highest at 3.0) that is assigned for level of work, and also other claimed contributions by the person( which may contribute to your tax value or your multiplier) . This is evaluated in general every two years by a small board in your resident city. This also does mean you must work or contribute to society in some fashion until you die, although the level of contribution required gets lower as you age.

The public isn't too happy about this, but I quash the opposition, as in general, those who would oppose the system ususally don't do much and are pariahs to start with. Those who do best in this system are those who in general work hard already, and thus would work hard to support the system.

The Soviets begin building more surveillance satellites to match those of the US, while final designs for engines of war are considered for production by Sarov. Annexation of the rest of the -stan countries, minus Afghanistan and Pakistan, soon follows, while the Soviets send a message to Japan [this is SECRET, Brandon!] involving the application of economic power to splinter the European Union, opening up massive opportunity for the Japanese and Soviets both to make huge economic gains as the euro and other currencies fall. This, of course, requires approval by the Japanese. The United States returns largely to isolationism, somewhat destabilizing the United Nations that was largely founded upon it anyway, though it continues to trade with other countries.

[Death*Knight]

Japan, being the kind and patient country, asks for some time to think about this, knowing they were given 1 month to think this through before accepting.

[Flagmauth]

Meanwhile, the US has removed its troops from South Korea.

The USSR removes the current leader of North Korea and begins building up their military, which actually means stationing newly minted Soviet armies on the Korean Peninsula.

[Death*Knight]

Japan, thinking about the offer, brews some tea to drink and calm down, to have a clear head.

[Sirius Lupin]

Britain and India form an alliance.

[Death*Knight]

Japan, now through and clear, accepts Russia's offer and increases trade with more countries.

[Sirius Lupin]

Britain's economy quickly grows after the civil war that allowed Ambrosius to reluctantly take over the government. The economy has grown due to the alliance with India.

[Flagmauth]

The EU fractures. Meanwhile the USSR launches a series of surveillance satellites as the new Red Military grows at an astounding rate; older, outmoded Soviet equipment is sold to African states in exchange for more raw materials for industrial and military growth.

[Death*Knight]

Japan, meaning to only be in the economic trades, begins to get a bad feeling with a second thought for why they parterned up with Russia.

[Savurl]

India sends representatives to all countries. It proposes to revolutionize the world through technological advancement. Any who agrees to cooperate towards this goal, and is not belligerent towards India, may be an open ally and trade partner of India.

Britainnia has already accepted this offer. Who else of the player countries?

Shining city completion ( 2 months): 8%

India also begins research on robotic grafts/ human robot advanced interfaces. It starts by beginning to devolop bionically enhanced legs. The human need to only provide some input to the legs, and they will move. At the current point in development, they are like lightly powered leg braces. By lightly powered, I mean that they could be powered by two connected 12 pound air compressor-like units, which the leg braces would be easily capable of supporting.

[Flagmauth]

The USSR also accepts, eager to see what possibilities Indian tech would open up for their military. In the meantime, North Korea attacks South Korea without warning. South Korea is able to hold off the invaders for a week or so before the Red Army unofficially backs them up. The Korean peninsula is now reunited.

Also, to keep an eye and if necessary a gun on the South American drug trade, Soviet air and naval bases are established in Cuba. Brief American alarm is soothed by assurances that nukes will absolutely not be considered, and that none of these actions are against the United States. Soviet emissaries are sent to China and India, while KGB infiltration of Germany begins. The Soviet Union also begins to support Zaire in Africa and Iraq in the Middle East, quickly stabilizing said countries and ramping up their military power right alongside that of the USSR (though on a much smaller scale).

Soviet suspicion of Japan develops. A diplomatic mission is sent to the Japanese government to smooth out relations, while air and naval bases are constructed in the newly united Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

[Tassadar]

I got the US. Imma kickn all yalls' asses!!
