The year is 2016. In the year 2004 the U.S. depleted it's supplies of fresh water. The president then made a fatal mistake. He declared war on Canada. The rest of the world was quickly drawn in on one side or the other. World War III was a reality. Luckily Nuclear arsenals were not put into play. Neither side could claim victory and the result was anarchy. Many small territories split of their respectives countries and the world was plaunged into chaos.Rules: 1. Keep your armies size realistic. Although the world population would have been much greater you must remember that many lives were lost in WW3 so the population is probably similar to what it is now. 2. You won't always win. If you win every battle you control then the rest of us will probably boot you. 3. Declare small countries to start. Maybe 6 or seven states/provinces to start. England would be an acceptable selection. U.S.S.R. would not be. 4. One day real-time = one year game time so try to make your accomplishments realistic in the given time frame. 5. The rest of us reserve the right to boot you. If we think you are playing unrealitically we may vote to boot you. I control Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Michigan, Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania. My army consists of 50,000 infantry, 15,000 artillery, and 5,000 tanks. My Navy consists of 2,000 destroyers, 1,500 subs(1,100 attack, and 400 missile), and 100 aircraft carriers. My Airforce consists of 1,000 fighter jets and 300 bombers. I am a dictator(but a benevolent one). My empire is known as the Shu dynasty.

So, Shu Dynasty, eh? *Begin transmission from Presidential HQ in Frankfurt, German Confederacy*
Well, greetings to all governments on Earth from the German Confederacy. The territory of this country consists of: The Federal Republic of Germany (borders of 1999) The Federal Republic of Austria (same as above) The Oath Fellowship of Switzerland The Benelux Federation (Netherlands,Belgium, Luxemburg,and France from Dunkirk to Metz) The country's capital city is Frankfurt/Main. The government is distributed over the areas to provide a reasonable operation base in all areas. The Federal Counsil is located in Vienna, the Federal Parliament in Zurich, and the Federal Constitution Court, in The Hague(using the chambers of the old UN Human Rights Court). As for politics, the country uses a presidential democracy, combining US and German elements. The government is elected by the FedPar,where the Liberals and Social Democrats currently hold a thin majority. The president(me, no less is elected by the people every seven years, and may run for the office up to three times. Shu Dynasty, we have no quarrel with you; although a dictatorship is not the correct answer in our case, it may very well be in yours, as your country has suffered much more than we have. We hereby offer a non-aggression pact to you (what is your capital,BTW?) *Transmission from Presidential HQ,Frankfurt, German Confederacy, ended*

A half-hour later. Sam: Sir, we have received a reply from Jonathon Doherty. Denny: Good, bring it up on my personal vid phone. Sam: Yes sir. Vid phone turns on and I see a mans face on the view screen, presumably Jonathon Doherty. Denny: Your reply. Jonathon: **** YOU!!! Vid phone screen goes blank. Denny: That's it, I want fifty persent our armed forces ready to deploy in Wisconsin. I will lead them. Sam: Yes sir! One month later... Denny: How soon till we are within sight of their force. Sam: We should be coming into sight of them in a few moments. As we crest the next hill top I see a pitifully small armed force, seemingly prepared to fight to the very end. Denny: Damn, I thought they would surrender, send out the signal for a retreat, Sam. Sam: But sir, we outnumber at least 20-1, we could easily crush this pitiful force. Denny: Yes, we could, but do you think that would be the way to win the people's hearts. If they surrendered, the people would have been too afraid to do anything but follow my commands, and in time would learn that I do not want the power to help myself, but to make their life better. However, if we slaughter this force, the people will resent us and will consantly work against, so we retreat. Sam(sighing): Yes sir. |

The Imperial State of Africa would like to announce its official inaugeration.We control all of the former African territories north of The Congo. An official list of territories would be: Tunsia, Libya, Egypt, The Sudan, Eritrea, Ethopia, Northern Somalia, Central African Republic, Camercon, Chad, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Benin, Guinea, Buinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Maurituania, Mali, Western Sahara, Morroco, Algeria, Ghana, Gambia, Cote D'Ivorie, Senegal and Togo. While this may sound like alot, mind you that the totality of Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Gambia, Bissau and Benin is about the size of Niger, which is comparable to the state of Washington in land mass. And since listing such minor territories is tiresome, we would like to declare them as part of the province of Niger from here onward. (OOC: Besides this, I joined two RP-years behind, but if it's really a problem I can draw back, say to the Central African Republic or, even further, to Chad) Kaiser Al Gore Rythm rose to power after the tribal strife and warfare which has been raging in Africa for millennia was put to an end by the African Unification Army, likewise under command of then-General Al Gore Rythm. My government is fascist dictatorship, we believe that the good intentions of Communism have, thus far, been poorly acted out and that Democracy is simply unfit for such chaotic times. Our army, as of now, numbers approximately 85,000 men strong, our navy ranks about 3,000 ships and our airforce is at around 15 hundred aircraft. We offer trade and treaties of peace to all nations. And we offer an alliance to the Shu Dynasty. However, we warn our fellow nations not to interfere with the struggling South African people. We shall soon unify them under our flag and any interruption of this process shall be met with great tension. |

Kaiser, although we wish for a peace treaty with you, we warn you not to expand into the South African Confederation. It is composed of Angola, DRC, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, and Swaziland. We have recently taken over South African and Lesotho and incorporated them into the EF. Any attempt to conquer the SAC will be met with fierce resistance from my forces and their own. (OOC: If any "newbie" to this thread wants to take over the SAC, that would be great, although you would have to have an alliance with me and a sort of hostility towards the ISA. In addition, you would have to be a democracy.) Our military system is as follows: Every able-bodied male serves in the military at ages 18 and 19, able-bodied females serve at age 18. Every year until they reach the age of 45 every able bodied citizen of the EF has one month of military training. There troops are reserves. There are about 8 million reserves in the EF. We also have a professiomal volunterr army, with about 350,000 infantry, 51,000 armour, 375,000 men in the navy, and 325,000 men in the air force. There are also a classified number of nuclear missiles in our arsenal. We are working on developing a hovertank prototype but so far progress is slow. |

Somewhere in an Australian Prison a felon convicted of conspiring against the government manages to overcome the guards. All the inmates rally behind him. Many guards join in behind the influential leader, known only as Shing; those who refuse to do so are locked in cells. A few guards attempt to over throw Shing, and they are executed slowly on a live video feed. The shing empire soon expands beyond the prison into all of Australia following thier capture of the nuclear arsonal of Australia. Many people flee in panic, but the fear subsides following the economic boom and over-all increase in the quality of life following the take-over. Shing announces to the world that he wishes peace, and offers a symbolic olive baranch to any one who desires peace. Rumors began to fly that Shing is requiring manditory IQ tests for all his subjects, to determine thier future in life. He also switches the national language to esperanto and gives two years for everyone to learn to speak it fluently. And that is where the situation stands now. Any takers on a peace treaty?

Spider, the Shing would welcome a non-agression pact with u, and we would propose an alliance, if u are interested.I have developed a society based on promoting intellegence and research. Social position is based on an improve version of the IQ test known as the PIQ (Practical Intellegence Quotient). Citizens with a PIQ above 120 are allowed to vote. Those above 150 have thier votes multiplied by 10. People with an intellegence below one-hundred live a life of servitute to a person of higher intellegence and perform most of the grunt labor (they compose about 60% of the general population and are called nulls). They enjoy happy lives, at least so happy as the government can make them. The government adimately denies any involvement or aproval of their mistreatment. The economy is booming since the removal of all market restrictions. Competetion is fierce keeping prices down and encouraging the improvement of the production process. Economic competition is not as regulated as most other areas. Any non-null is free to compete. Freedom of religion does exist, but the official "religion" of our people is athiesm. Any person interested in joining the country is free to, and the government pays the expences of the trip, by means of it's 20% sales tax (that is the only tax in the entire nation, btw). Overtime, the new citizen will more than payback that money in his/her contributions to the society. Anyone else interested in a peace or non-agression treaty is welcome. |

The SAC has asked me to tell the ISA that they will agree with the proposed peace treaty.OOC: manchot13, and Spider, if one of you wants to control the South African Confederation, composed of Angola, DRC, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, and Swaziland. The only stipulations are you would have to have an alliance with me and a sort of hostility towards the ISA. In addition, you would have to be a democracy. |

Is anyone else interested in instituting an international language to promote trade and free flow of information among our citizens? It has already successfully united the majority of my citizens! |

To the Shu Dynasty: Ja, we will send you the data, and we appreciate your well-meaning research data, though we use the extreme pressure to drive turbines before purifying and consuming/using the water thus obtained. BTW, that's considered a "basic", and is thus included in the data package being sent.Emperor Spider of the PSE |

(OOC: Manchot, your discription of your government is spooky, I have argued that posistion often discussing government, at least, that the smart rule. You have an aristocracy. Also, South America has no nukes, neither does Australia)From the computer of Galen of the Pacific Republic: Shing: We wish a peace treaty with you and wish to open up a trade agreement with you. However, we cannot let you take Antartica. If you checked your treaties, you would see Antartica CANNOT be owned by any country. If you wish to use it, you may, but must allow others a represenative portion, We have recently been using 43% of Antartica, and since no other nation seems interested in using we will increase that to 53%, and allow you the other 47%. We think that the international language should be English, everyone knows it, make it standardized, and it can work. ISoA: We wish to initiate a trade pact with you. PSE: We are sorry, but the Marinares Trench is ours, but we will allow you to stay there, as you appearently have been there for a while. However, in order to protect you we wish a full alliance and of course, a trade pact. We have taken India in a confrontation without to use of nukes. We also have advanced into the rest of Siberia and are trying to convince the nationalists in Moscow to join us, though recent tragedies in their party are providing us with an unexpected oppurtunity. We are also decreasing our socialism and increasing capitalist reforms.
News Release: Sony, along with Nintendo, have unveiled their's newest platform gaming system, the Nimal, a 4648 bit system, with such games as Bust-a-Move 4648, Noraki, Zelda: Aftermath, Mario 2061, and Toriso 3. This will be out in Europe, Africa and the Americas next month. President Galen has announced his intent to run for President for his 5th term in a row, making him incumbent for life, if he does. He also recently issued an approval of the treaty to ban biological and chemical warfare. The famous and weathly banker, Wen Ho Ju, died last night in his bedroom, appearently a homocide, the police are investigating this. As Wen Ho Ju had no will the government will take over his buisness. The World Seris recently ended, with HAL 9001 winning the final deathmatch beating N0r1k0, 3rr0r1, Darth Nick and Zathor, taking the Grand Master title. In a related story, the winner of this year's international Go champinionship was Wo Jian, a native of Kyoto. President Galen Tokyo |

To The Pacific Republic: We started as a research group exploring the Marianas trench, but when the USA fragmented, our funding ran dry and we went independent. We appreciate your generous offer, but we have no need of outside protection. You see, we cannot be attacked at our capitol, and even to attack an outlying base requires either a huge submarine, or large numbers of submarines, and both can be detected and intercepted. We apologize for the inconvenience.Emperor Spider of the PSE |

We have expanded to Nepal and the United Islands of Oceina, when both of their peoples voted overwhelimingly to join the Pacific Republic.PSE:I am sure you do not understand the power of modern submarines. Most of our navy is submarines, and your base could be nuked. since you have no BMD system you cannot protect yourself. Also, we wish an alliance for our own sake, becuase you are in what was our territory, we do not want the possibility of war happening. Press Release: Today, Mitsubishi announced a contract with the government to produce new tanks. The contract is estimated worth 50 million US dollars. Microsoft, the international software company worth more than Sony and Nintendo combined, announced today that they will be coming out with a platform gaming system. Already they produce much of the software for these systems. It is yet unknown who will do the hardware, though rumor has it Sega, the fledgling company, may do so. Sega last made a personal platform system in 1998, with it's 128 bit Dreamcast. Since then it has almost cornered the arcade market. President Galen won the election last month, setting up as president for life unless congress impeaches him. The socialist Pacific party, Galen's, regained control of parliment, and are repealing the reforms made last session by the capitalist Republican party, which caused many problems, leading to the change in Parliment's leadership this year. Researchers at Koyto have come up with proof of alein life, as they anylized samples of a meteorite, coming up with samples of DNA that is comepletely unlike ours. The smash hit anime cartoon series "Kitea", about space adventurours fighting an evil human controlling an army of aleins, will produce commercials to get people to enroll in the space program. The provisional government of Tibet, has agreed to join the Pacific Republic and is returning to the territory of Tibet. This comes after the rest of the government of Nepal agreed to join the Pacific Republic. The Hacker party won the majority of seats in Portland, and now control the city. The Hacker party is allied with the Libertarian party, radicals in that group have attacked several government buildings. |

OOC: Nepal is actually between China and India, which we had, and those islands are worth altogether, about as much as Mass in land area. No more expansion, I swear. |

OOC: I suggest that we start a new topic line for Aftermath. Galen, I think that you control too much, could you drop most of siberia?We have recently expanded into the rest of Italy, most of Spain, the rest of Syria, the rest of Georgia, part of Iraq and Iran and northwards from Ukraine so now we touch the ocean north of siberia. The MRF welcomes peace with all factions and offers treaties to those who do not already have them. |

OOC: Yes, I know where Nepal is. I also know how small the Pacific islands are. (I'm 9th place in MI for geography 5-8 grade.) Those last two territories just pushed it over the edge. |
