Also, mmm, Netherlands and Rum stronk in AU. AU is best union.

Catalonia isn't joining? In that case, it has the German sphere.

Also, both the EAU and OAS would dispute that.

Catalonia would probably either join the EAU or Germany's sphere of influence. Catalonia is hostile to Spain, and insists that it is the successor to the Kingdom of Aragon, and that the Union of Crowns is invalid with Barcelona being independent.

I don't know if France would really be included in the EAU considering it'll be a fascist regime...

Also, Great Britain is not going to join the AU, citing geographical distance from Asia and the fact that it has no territory in the region.

About me · by **Luziyca** » Mon Aug 18, 2014 12:29 am

I'm so obsessed with Kamuy-Mosir (Kerguelens, Crozet Isles, Heard and McDonald Islands, St. Martin and Amsterdam Islands) that I am tempted to start a student exchange RP in there for the Antarctic University (studying Antarctic science, but also literature, math, physics, chemistry, political science, and law), or at least some sort of RP like vacationing there in the (northern hemisphere) summer and getting stranded in a cabin in the mainland (Kerguelen Archipelago).

If I do this RP, it will be set in the AWWA-verse, and only those currently in this RP will be permitted to RP in that thread. If there's enough interest, I will put the IC up of that thread (I'll also let you guys decide) and let you make your characters on the spot (one or maybe two per ATL nation as of 2014).

And because it would be really silly to have Fiji as the only independent nation in the tiny-islands bit of Oceania, Fijian independence is no longer canon. German Oceania FTW.

Japanese Concern Over Ferguson

The Imperial Senate and Japanese human rights groups are calling for the punishment of Ferguson, Missouri's police department for their handling of the death and murder of an American teenager, who was shot six times, despite complying with the police officer's demands. The Chancellor's office released a statement that said that "the actions of the police in Ferguson were already reaching the border between police brutality and crimes against humanity".

An international outrage over the murder has peaked on social media websites, as many are calling for action. At the United Nations, Japanese ambassador Musashi Saotome spoke, calling on the need for international regulation on military proliferation, as many have blamed the murder and rapid escalation of tensions on the recent upswing in police militarism in the Confederate States.

Senator Takahiro Ryota Johnson, a Kuomintang representative for the Okinawa prefecture, echoed Ambassador Saotome's sentiment, calling on President Obama and the Confederate Congress to do "their best efforts to bring an end to the civil strife in Missouri." Many other Senators have condemned the declaration of martial law and the deployment of National Guardsmen in Ferguson. The Empress has not commented on the crisis.

Japanese Chancellor Kim Jong-un is expected to visit Washington D.C. next week as part of his itinerary on a Western Hemisphere tour. He is expected to visit New Cuzco, Ottawa, Washington D.C, Caracas and Managua.

^ This would be Japan's response to Ferguson, MO.

Malcolm X left the Confederate States on April 13, 1964, meaning that he probably would be in Mecca on April 22, 1964.

“America,” he wrote from Saudi Arabia on April 20, 1964, “needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases the race problem from its society.”

He was in Mecca on the 20th, so it's completely feasible for him to be caught up in the 4/22 bombing.

Selim IV, who had known that Malcolm X was in Mecca, since he had personally approved the man's application of entry and validated his Islamic faith, would name him a great martyr and that he had been brought to Allah's kingdom, and he would be one of the faces carved into the 4/22 memorial in Mecca after it's rebuild, along side Abdulhamid and some others.

POSSIBILITY OF A 'CRISIS OF 2014' GROWS AFTER CLASHES ON GERMAN-CZECHOSLOVAK DMZ CONTINUE

August 18, 2014
VIENNA, GERMANY - The United Nations has expressed concern following a second clash between German and Czechoslovak forces along the Central European Demilitarized Zone, with Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon telling the press that "the possibility of a Crisis of 2014 in Central Europe grows larger every day, so long as deescalation processes do not start."

The clash, which left 12 Germans and 4 Czechoslovaks dead, occurred on the banks of the March/Morava River, near the German town of Angern-an-der-March and the Czechoslovak town of Zahorska Ves. It comes only days after a similar clash left 7 Germans and 9 Czechoslovaks dead near the German city of Zittau and the Czechoslovak village of Hradek-nad-Nisou.

The heavily-fortified DMZ has been around since 1896, when the Uzhorod Armistice Agreement declared a ceasfire between Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Galicia(which joined Poland in 1991). Because the Uzhorod Agreement only declared a ceasefire, and did not end the Central European Crisis, Germany and Hungary legally remain at war with Czechoslovakia to this day, claiming it as their sovereign territory. However, the two countries have found themselves increasingly alone, with more and more countries recognizing Czechoslovakia- including several of Germany's former colonies and longtime allies.

If Ban Ki-Moon's hypothetical 'Crisis of 2014' becomes a reality, it would not be the first. Similar crises occurred in 1911, 1924, 1939, 1958, 1966, 1971, and 1985. It would, however, be the first in several decades, and the first after Poland's annexation of Galicia.

To the surprise of few, Hungary and Denmark have cast their support behind Germany, whereas Yugoslavia and Poland have expressed support for Czechoslovakia.

EDIT: Though unconfirmed, reports are coming out of Hungary that there has been a third clash between Hungarian troops in Esztergom and Czechoslovak troops in Sturovo, on opposite sides of the Danube River. No casualties have yet been reported. The situation is likely to escalate further. The North New Guinean government has ordered all flights to Hungary, Germany, and Czechoslovakia cancelled.

THIRD CLASH CONFIRMED ON IRON CURTAIN
The Czechoslovak government confirmed today that Hungarian forces in Esztergom attempted to cross the Danube, resulting in a clash between Czechoslovak and Hungarian troops. This comes only hours after a Czechoslovak incursion into Germany, and three days after the first clash of what is now the Crisis of 2014.
OBAMA CONDEMNS RIOTERS, POLICE IN MISSOURI
Confederate President Barack Obama acknowledged the grievances of both protestors and police, while condemning the violent actions of both, in the town of Ferguson, Missouri, urging both sides to "take a step back". He also emphasized to those watching that the investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown and the following riots and police actions, urging Confederate citizens and foreigners alike to wait for all the evidence to come in before "jumping to hasty conclusions... that might further inflame the situation".
IMPERIALS, REPUBLICANS AGREE TO MEET TO DISCUSS DETENTE
In what might be the greatest step towards intra-Russian peace yet, President Vladimir Putin and Tsar Dmitriy II Romanov agreed today to hold discussions over border disputes, easing the One Russia policy, family-visiting programs, and event the possibility of a constitutional monarchy, in a move by both sides towards detente following the 1991 Russian Revolution. The talks are slated to be held in Tinushtytlan, al-Mayiquh(a location chosen based on its neutrality on the issue).
VOLTAN GOVERNMENTAL FORCES RECAPTURE THE VOLTA DAM
A spokesperson for the Voltan military confirmed that, yesterday, governmental forces retook the strategic Volta Dam, which provides power and water to much of the country's center. The fighting is the latest in the Volta's ongoing multisided civil war. Before its recapture, the dam was held by forces seeking independence for the country's mostly Muslim north.
KAMERUN, VOLTA CLOSE BORDERS AS EBOLA OUTBREAK SPREADS
As Ebola spreads through Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, Kamerun and the Volta announced that they would be closing their land borders with their neighbors and turning back any ships or aircraft from infected countries. Ebola, feared as highly contagious and essentially incurable, has infected thousands in a recent outbreak, including some Canadian and Confederate doctors.
RUMITE ANGER OVER GERMAN SPYING CLAIMS
Germany's ambassador to Rum was summoned to speak with Grand Vizier Hussein and the Sultan today following revelations that the German government eavesdropped on Rum's foreign ministry and considered it "a prime surveillance target", a story broken by Germany's Der Spiegel. Germany is also accused of spying on Confederate Secretaries of State John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. Germany had earlier expressed outrage over Confederate surveillance of the German government, making it appear hypocritical.
POPE CALLS FOR "GLOBAL RECONCILIATION" AS ASIAN TOUR ENDS
Pope Francis called for reconciliation between warring parties in Central Europe, Russia, the Confederacy, Africa, and various other locations as a tour of Korea and Japan ended today. "The people of the world must reject the warring mindset and strive for global peace," he told a congregation in Seoul during Mass. "We pray that there are more opportunities for reconciliation, and more ways to peacefully solve our differences," he concluded. "We pray for a world that is not divided into victors and vanquished, but united as one."
ANTI-CHINESE RALLY IN QINGDAO DRAWS THOUSANDS
After what many percieved to be moves to take the territory, thousands of people in the Jiaozhou Mandate gathered in Qingdao's central square to "say no to the emperor". Jiaozhou, while officially German, is de facto independent in all affairs but its defense. Many in Qingdao are afraid that China will use the ongoing Crisis of 2014 to occupy the territory, which Germany bought from China in the 1890s after leasing it for several decades.
"HORRENDOUS ABUSES" COMMITTED BY ZANZIBARIAN DEFENSE APPARATUS
The Zanzibarian Royal Security Force, which serves as the police and paramilitary for the small African state, has used various abusive tactics(including kidnapping, extrajudicial murder, and property damage) against those perceived to be "dissidents against the crown". Zanzibar's African majority is discriminated against by its wealthy Arab rulers, widely criticized as an ongoing form of apartheid or getrenntheit.
CAUCASIA CONDUCTS MASSIVE MILITARY DRILL NEAR RUSSIAN BORDER
In the most recent of a series of belligerent actions by the Caucasian Free State, the country's government-run media announced that a massive military drill would be held in the region of Abkhazia "to intimidate the ever-present Russian oppressor and the constant Rumite foe." Despite being a pariah state for decades, the genocidal and oppressive Caucasian regime maintains a comparatively massive military.

And when the Confederates get to that final line near Albany, their commander will be shocked when his army is defeated by, of all things, a Canadian MP. The Leader of the Opposition, Liberal MP for Manhattan, and future PM Theodore Roosevelt. The Rough Riders will be the Defenders of Albany.
