I keep saying the GDR is in a horrible position, with the massive protests and most of the Government being in the Soviet Union.

If you want to get annexed, fine by me.

I believe that's roleplaying my nation, if you control West Germany, you should have no control over the domestic affairs of another player nation. That's just my opinion, but if the OP agrees with you, that's fine by me.

I'm sure I could salvage the situation if it is canon, the same types of protests happened in 1953 and were utterly smashed.

To be fair I'd argue that given AH is AH, Eastern Germany could be doing quite well at this point not to mention the Butterfly effect of changes elsewhere could in theory completely eliminate some of the Crisis that caused trouble for Eastern Germany, remember this is 1983 even if it wasn't AH there'd still be time to turn things around or at the very least preserve the status quo and allow time for a recovery...

Plus as well it's nice to have the Kebab King back

Ugh, that other RP turned ugly fast. I hope not to have the same thing here and will be taking a rather passive/proxy-war role. The Balkans and Middle East are a shitty place to play in. I'm planning to have an alternate timeline where the idiot Ubricht is replaced by Zaisser and the East German economy at least manages to not stagnate.

[Marsisian]

Oh, it's my fault for not putting the protests earlier, I just copied the previous German player's app and made a few changes.

[Novacom]

What is going to be different from your 1992 RP?:
Well this time, I think one of our main problems was me ending the USSR, leaving only the west as major powers and even though many nations grew, they would have probably ended up in a North Korea situation, with little support as their biggest has left. So with this RP, we are going to start in 1983, and allow for the Cold War to still rage on, to give it a more "Nuclear Threat Imminent fill".

I have a hunch a LOT of people's prospective apps are now well wrong

Yeah no. There is no way East Germany would have been allowed that territory by any Soviet leader.

Several island disputes, Japan's former atrocities towards Korea and Japan's ideology has made for cold and harsh relations.

Political Freedoms /10: 2
Economic Freedoms /10: 5

Military Size: 450,000 active and 1,000,000 reserves
Military Description: The Korean people's army is a large and well trained force mainly supplied by the USSR and China. It mainly operates defensively as all it's direct neighbors are somewhat friendly and definitively more powerful.
Strengths and Weaknesses: The KPA's main strength is it's creativity and training. While it's neighbors still have more advanced and larger forces than Korea despite attempts of modernizing with carrying results the Korean army uses creativity and training for combat in the hilly and mountainous terrain of Korea to it's advantage. It's greatest weakness is that it doesn't have as advanced weaponry as mentioned before and the navy is rather weak.
Law Enforcement: The law enforcement of Korea is an effective and feared force. While there is still large amount of poverty the crime level is keept at an low level because of fear of the law enforcement. Fear is a strong weapon of the law enforcement and few want to risk things when they could easily lose it because of the harsh rules against crime.
Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign): The state security department which acts as a secret police.


Description of Your Nation's Economy: The Korean economy is a state controlled one. While reforms are being made the economy is still dominated by the state but foreign investment and companies have started to pop up here and there though not in very large numbers. The largest trade partners are the USSR and China.
Description of Your Nation's Government: The country is dominated by the Premier who is elected by the Supreme people's assembly which acts as the countries parlaiment. The premier has much of the countries power and is then allowed to pick government ministers but needs an agreement with the SPA if only minor. The premier is always a member of the Worker's party of Korea which has dominated Korea since 1950.
History of your Nation: In June 1950 North korea launched an invasion of the south. The superior north Korean army quickly advanced and had by august conquered most of the south. While the south pledged for help the US was unwilling to do anything which didn't help by the USSR's stance against intervention. This resulted that by October North Korean forces marched victoriously into Busan officially ending the short but bloody Korean war.

With this victory all of Korea was now under communist control. The USSR And PRC where quick to supply Korea with weapons and money to help the rebuilding of Korea and the subjugation of resistance. Soon political camps and prisons sprung up in south Korea as a method of taking out dissenters resulting in thousands of Koreans dying.

In 1954 despite Kim-Il sungs best efforts a power struggle erupted in the communist leadership in which mars 1955 Pak Hon-Yong emerged victorious and Kim-Il sung was killed for being an "Agent of Japan during colonial times. Pak would soon consolidate his power and by 1957 he had full control of the country. He would would with Chinese and Russian support continue to build up Korea and reeducate the south Korean people.

When the Sino-Soviet split started Pak and the Korean leadership would play to both sides in order to gain more independence from both the USSR and China but ultimately sided more with China. By the end of the split Korea was no longer a puppet to the whims of China and the USSR. In 1978 Pak-Hon Yong died and was replaced by Yang Hyang-sop. He would take Korea in a different route than his predecessors and in 1979 he would start a series of reforms influenced by the ones in china which among many thing opened up the country to foreign investment. The reforms are however seen with suspicion as people wonder how the USSR will respond.

The Administration implements a new policy towards the Soviet Union and the Central American Republic to confront them on three fronts: decrease access to high technology and diminish their resources such as the embargo on the CAR, including depressing the value of socialist/communist commodities on the world market; increases in American defense expenditures to strengthen the U.S. negotiating position; and force the communists to devote more of their economic resources to defense. However the United States is more imperialistic in this timeline and will seek to expand it's sphere of influence. Has practically zero relations with the Central American Republic.

Claims: Modern Day Romania
Capital City: Bucharest

Government Form: Totalitarianist Single Party Communist State
Ideology: Marxist-Leninist
Foreign Policy: Romania sees the Capitalist World, including the U.S., as a corrupt state that needs liberation. Despite this, they have gotten involved in almost no Communist Wars, instead building up their economy so they can finally pay off the Soviets for fighting them in World War Two. They see the U.S.S.R as it's 'Big Brother', and all other Communist states as it's siblings, and treats them as such, listening to Russia and treating all other Communist states as equals.
Domestic Policy: The S.R.O.R is a Police state that sends Dissenters to the Firing Squad. People who support the government often find themselves suddenly wealthy, foremost of whom are those who join the Communist Party. Despite no longer being under. Fascist rule, many Romanian citizens have a lingering Hatred towards Roma.

Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign): R.P.I.A, the Foreign Agency; and the R.P.W.A, the Domestic Agency.


Description of Your Nation's Economy:
The Romanian Economy is surprisingly free, to an extent. Tiny private Buisnesses, like a small, down the street, Coffeehouse, are allowed to remain independent, but the bigger corporations have been seized and put under Governmental control. Free Trade is allowed with Most other Communist Nations, and the Economy is nearly at Pre-World War Two levels.
Description of Your Nation's Government:
Communist Romania is under One Party rule. Despite this, strangely, nearly all Citizens like the Government, to an extent where Law Enforcement has little to do. It is rather Conservative in it's policies, and has not been able to support any Communist Wars, due to huge payments that need to be made to the Soviets.

Fair does I was going off Wikipedia saying they didn't enter formal service till 1984, it might be splitting hairs but given you've already said you plan to annex a nation which isn't communist and isn't the biggest fan of the USSR then I think I have a vested interest in the little things
