NATO and the EEC allowed this because Spain needed a stable country like Portugal in case ETA started a war in the Basque Country for independence. Some countries like the US were opposed to the Union because they were afraid of a left-wing government getting control of the Union which did happen. But the EEC and the majority of NATO just wanted stability and didn't want another war in Western Europe which would've affected all trade in the Mediterranean and caused a major European recession.

I'm not sure how you would be able to get the British out of Gibraltar, and even so, not sure how you would be able to keep the Meditteranean closed as such, someone would object, like US or USSR.

Nation Name: (You are encouraged to include both its formal name and its informal name) Ottoman Federal Republic, New Ottoman Republic
Head of State: Col.Mehemed AbdulazizII
Head of Government:Col.Mehemed AbdulazizII
Flag:(Put in Spoiler)
Claims: (The official territory of your country)Turkey, Syria,Iraq
Capital City: Constantinople
Government Form: (Yes, this is a field you must fill out) Military Dictatorship, veneer: Republic with puppet Congress
Ideology: (Refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_po ... gies)) Nationalism, Fascism, Militarism
Foreign Policy: (How does your nation see the world? What is its stance or position on issues outside its country? Make sure you include relations with "The West(USA)" and "The East(U.S.S.R).
The Ottoman Federal Republic believes it is stuck in the middle of the "West vs.East" conflict and wishes to get close to neither in fear of the repercussions. However, it doesn't realize the dangers of being neutral on its own. It tends to sympathize with the USSR since the colossal nation is much closer to the mainland. The Ottomans believe they are the rightful heir to all of the Middle East lands and tends to have an aggressive foreign policy towards its neighbors.
Domestic Policy: (How does your nation internally operate?) The Congress headquartered in Constantinople acts as the legislative body. There are 60 senators in total, 20 from each of the comprised countries that form the Ottoman Republic. There are 300 Assemblymen total, 100 each from the 3 comprised countries that make up the Republic. 3 main party's dominate the political make-up of the Congress; the Liberty Party, the Conservative Party, and the Janussary Party. The Congress recently has become Janussary dominant as Col.AbdulAziz created it. The government has become a military style Junta and the Congress is just a puppet to AbdulAziz.

Military Size: Active: 890,000 Reserve: 750,000 Paramilitary: 175,000
Military Description: (ie, quality of equipment, doctrine, etc.) The Ottoman Armed Forces are divided into sections: the Ottoman Republic Forces, Ottoman Republic Airforce, Ottoman Naval Force, Ottoman Territorial Defense Force, Republican Guard, Ottoman Special Operatives, Ottoman Airborne Force. The Ottoman miltary since maintaining good relations with the USSR tends to import most of its equipment from the Soviets, and began establishing its own line of arms manufacturing after obtaining blueprints for the T-55 and the Su-7B. Most of the small arms are imported from the Soviets as well, along with artillery and AA weaponry. Its Navy, however, it purchases from the US.
Strengths and Weaknesses: (What is your military good at, and what is it bad at?) Land and Air the Otomans excel at, however, on the Naval front the Ottomans lack experience in.
Law Enforcement: (How does Law Enforcement operate in your country? Who runs it, and how efficient is it?)
The Law enforcement of the Republic is ran by the Department of the Interior and specializes in counter insurgency operations. However, they mainly focus on expelling and ridding the country of dissenters and opposition. The standard Law Enforcer looks like this:
Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign): The Domestic Secret Police is called the Ritajin Services in charge of apprehending any threat to the regime it also serves as a foreign intelligence service for the regime and serves dual roles.
Description of Your Nation's Economy: The economy of the Ottoman Republic is a mixture of industrial based and agrarian sectors. The industrial produces textiles, auto parts, industrial equipment, canned goods, gas and oil, petrol products, jewelry, concentrated ores. The agrarian produces, meat and poultry, grains, various desert fruits, bread and wheat, milk, cotton, wool. The economy stagnates from the recently imposed inequal tax which tax more if you dont make above the annual median income. The stock market for the Ottoman Republic plummeted resulting in slow economic growth.
Description of Your Nation's Government: The regime keeps a iron grip over its populace. Propaganda tends to show militaristic pride and pride in nationalism. The regime intimidates its populace into submission, it demands fear instead of respect. It has various departments if ti were that of a democracy,however, all these departments report back to Col. Mehemed Abdulaziz II and take orders directly from him. Abdulaziz runs the show in the country and no one makes any decision without his consent.
History of your Nation: The Ottoman's history throughout its existence pretty much ran its course, but the major change came after WW1. After assuming defeat in WW1 the Allies wished to dissolve the Ottoman Empire into smaller spheres of influence controlled by other imperial powers. However in 1920 after a petition to keep the core of the Ottoman country together it agreeed to relinquish its controls on the Arab peninsula. The Ottomans were dissolved to just Syria, Turkey, and Iraq. In 1925 after the economy became relatively stable for growth a massive industrial reform was advocated. In 1930 5 years of growth saw an economic gap grow between the rich and the poor and would lay the foundation of economic disparity for the next century to come. This angered a prominent group who rose to power called the Janussaries. The Janussaries voiced there opinion heavily and gained traction in Iraq and Syria. They advocated a more equal stance across the board, equality for every citizen in the Empire. The Janussaries, however, looked like a bunch of young radical officers to the establishment. So in 1938 the Dahr trials began which the arrest and execution of 700 Janussary officers and leaders.
The core of the Janussary movement didn't shake and in 1939 a coup was staged on Mehemed VII and installed Gen.Abdullah Abdullah. In the wake of the German invasion of Poland, Abdullah Abdullah sympathized with Nazi Germany. Like the Nazis, the Janussaries were radical extreme fascists and emphasized law and order. Abdullah Abdullah adopted Hitlers final solution idea and used it on the ethnic Jews living in the Empire. The Republic again saw one of the darkest moments in its history. In 1941 Abdullah Abdullah officially joined the Axis, sending oil and raw materials to the axis members. He even bailed out Mussolini in his failed invasion of Greece and sent troops to the troops to invade Russia through the Causcus when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa. When Mussolini invaded Egypt Abdullah Abdullah invaded from the West. However,after the Allies expelled the Axis out of Africa they turned there attention on driving out the Ottomans in the Middild East. In early 1943, Allied forces penetrated the Sinai line and drove the Ottomans into Palestine. There a stale mate ensued, with the Russians slowly pushing back the German onslaught the Ottomans held onto their newly acquired Causcus land dearly. In August of 1943 the Russians took the Crimea and drove the Ottomans to the Turkish border. The British and French simultaneously landed near Basra,Iraq and the Ottomans had transfer significant forces from the bulk of their army to entrench themselves around Baghdad. In 1944 the Ottomans lost Baghdad, the Russians blockaded Constantinople, and Allied penetrated Syria. On October the 2nd, 1944 Abdullah Abdullah surrendered.
In 1945, a popular uprising overthrew Abdullah Abdullah and his Janussaries and elected Azizi Pasha. Pasha in a move that shocked the world, dissolved the Sultanate and established a Republic. Under Pasha considerable democratic reforms were undertook and the Ottoman Federal Republic was born. The constitution of 1947 was written and the Constantinople Congress was established. Pasha won a second term in 1950 and began a massive education revitalization, renovating primary schools and constructing universities. Under Pasha the Republic embraced Western ideas and culture and opened up Cinemas and Casinos. A great debate arose over conservative traditional principles and modernization. In 1953, relations thrived with the West. Britain, France, and the US poured billions of dollars worth of aid into to Pasha's education drive. Pasha had a surplus even to fix up the infrastructure damaged and/or destroyed during the war. In 1955 elections were held again and Dilla Kemal of the Liberty Party was elected. Under Dilla's administration infrastructure thrived. Bridges, roads, railways, dams, power lines, communications, and docks were constructed or repaired. The economy strengthened as oil became the primary export in 1969. In 1970 Attaturk was elected from the Conservative Party and began focusing on healthcare. A state controlled insurance program was instituted and services at clinics were free whilst visits at hospitals were severely reduced in cost. A medical fund was opened up as government subsidies and donations were poured into it. Under Attaturk the Academy of Science flourished in Constantinople and 3 new Medical Lab were erected. 1973 saw a Janussary insurrection in Syria. Attaturk was reelected in 1975. Later that year, new hospitals arose throughout the country. In 1978 however, a scandal arose as serious allegations of voting fraud was accounted for. Attaturk had bribed the counters to stuff the ballot and not only that but began embezzling profits from the medical fund. 2.6 billion dollars in all were embezzled. A coup was staged by Col. Mehemed AbdulAziz which overthrew Attaturk's administration and executed not only officials within the administration but President Attaturk himself.
Col.Mehemed AbdulAziz disbanded the constitution of 1947, made the newly created Janussary Party the majority in Congress and party membership mandatory for administration officials. AbdulAziz took on the title of President, and began working on improving industrial capabilities and welfare development. In 1979 AbdulAziz purchased blueprints on the T-55 tank and Su-7B. He began drawing designs on making his own cheaper version of the AK-47. In 1980 tensions brewed over the straight of Hormuz with Iran. In September of 1980 the puppet Constantinople Congress declared war on Iran. The war has dragged on for 3 years and continues now.
