The Republic of India
11:30 AM

the Republic of India is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

The Indian economy is the world's tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks ninth in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 29 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

India comprises the bulk of the Indian subcontinent, lying atop the Indian tectonic plate, and part of the Indo-Australian Plate. India's defining geological processes began 75 million years ago when the Indian plate, then part of the southern supercontinent Gondwana, began a north-eastward drift caused by seafloor spreading to its south-west, and later, south and south-east. Simultaneously, the vast Tethyn oceanic crust, to its northeast, began to subduct under the Eurasian plate. These dual processes, driven by convection in the Earth's mantle, both created the Indian Ocean and caused the Indian continental crust eventually to under-thrust Eurasia and to uplift the Himalayas. Immediately south of the emerging Himalayas, plate movement created a vast trough that rapidly filled with river-borne sediment and now constitutes the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Cut off from the plain by the ancient Aravalli Range lies the Thar Desert.

The original Indian plate survives as peninsular India, the oldest and geologically most stable part of India. It extends as far north as the Satpura and Vindhya ranges in central India. These parallel chains run from the Arabian Sea coast in Gujarat in the west to the coal-rich Chota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand in the east. To the south, the remaining peninsular landmass, the Deccan Plateau, is flanked on the west and east by coastal ranges known as the Western and Eastern Ghats; the plateau contains the country's oldest rock formations, some over one billion years old. Constituted in such fashion, India lies to the north of the equator between 6° 44' and 35° 30' north latitude and 68° 7' and 97° 25' east longitude.

India's coastline measures 7,517 kilometres (4,700 mi) in length; of this distance, 5,423 kilometres (3,400 mi) belong to peninsular India and 2,094 kilometres (1,300 mi) to the Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep island chains. According to the Indian naval hydrographic charts, the mainland coastline consists of the following: 43% sandy beaches; 11% rocky shores, including cliffs; and 46% mudflats or marshy shores.

Major Himalayan-origin rivers that substantially flow through India include the Ganges and the Brahmaputra, both of which drain into the Bay of Bengal. Important tributaries of the Ganges include the Yamuna and the Kosi; the latter's extremely low gradient often leads to severe floods and course changes. Major peninsular rivers, whose steeper gradients prevent their waters from flooding, include the Godavari, the Mahanadi, the Kaveri, and the Krishna, which also drain into the Bay of Bengal; and the Narmada and the Tapti, which drain into the Arabian Sea. Coastal features include the marshy Rann of Kutch of western India and the alluvial Sundarbans delta of eastern India; the latter is shared with Bangladesh. India has two archipelagos: the Lakshadweep, coral atolls off India's south-western coast; and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a volcanic chain in the Andaman Sea.

The Indian climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert, both of which drive the economically and culturally pivotal summer and winter monsoons. The Himalayas prevent cold Central Asian katabatic winds from blowing in, keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations at similar latitudes. The Thar Desert plays a crucial role in attracting the moisture-laden south-west summer monsoon winds that, between June and October, provide the majority of India's rainfall. Four major climatic groupings predominate in India: tropical wet, tropical dry, subtropical humid, and montane.

The economy of India is the tenth-largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies, a member of BRICS and a developing economy that is among the top 20 global traders according to the WTO. India was the 19th-largest merchandise and the 6th largest services exporter in the world in 2013; it imported a total of $616.7 billion worth of merchandise and services in 2013, as the 12th-largest merchandise and 7th largest services importer. India's economic growth slowed to 4.7% for the 2013–14 fiscal year, in contrast to higher economic growth rates in 2000s. The Indian Finance Ministry projects the GDP growth for fiscal 2014 will be 5.5%. IMF projects India's GDP to grow at 5.6% over 2014-15. Agriculture sector is the largest employer in India's economy but contributes a declining share of its GDP (13.7% in 2012-13). Its manufacturing industry has held a constant share of its economic contribution, while the fastest-growing part of the economy has been its services sector - which includes construction, telecom, software and information technologies, infrastructure, tourism, education, health care, travel, trade, banking and other components of its economy.

The post independence-era Indian economy (from 1947 to 1991) was a mixed economy with an inward-looking, centrally planned, interventionist policies and import-substituting economic model that failed to take advantage of the post-war expansion of trade and that nationalized many sectors of its economy. India's share of global trade fell from 1.3% in 1953 to 0.5% in 1983. This model contributed to widespread inefficiencies and corruption, and it was poorly implemented.

After a fiscal crisis in 1991, India has increasingly adopted free-market principles and liberalised its economy to international trade. These reforms were started by former Finance minister Manmohan Singh under the guidance of Prime Minister P.V.Narasimha Rao. They eliminated much of Licence Raj, a pre- and post-British era mechanism of strict government controls on setting up new industry. Following these economic reforms, and a strong focus on developing national infrastructure such as the Golden Quadrilateral project by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the country's economic growth progressed at a rapid pace, with relatively large increases in per-capita incomes. The south western state of Maharashtra contributes the highest towards India's GDP among all states, while Bihar is among its poorest states in terms of GNI per capita. Mumbai is known as the trade and financial capital of India.

Agricultural and allied sectors accounted for about 52.1% of the total workforce in 2009–10. While agriculture employment has fallen over time in percentage of labor employed, services which includes construction and infrastructure have seen a steady growth accounting for 20.3% of employment in 2012-13. Of the total workforce, 7% is in the organised sector, two-thirds of which are in the government controlled public sector. About 51.2% of the labor in India is self-employed. According to 2005-06 survey, there is a gender gap in employment and salaries. In rural areas, both men and women are primarily self-employed, mostly in agriculture. In urban areas, salaried work was the largest source of employment for both men and women in 2006.

Unemployment in India is characterised by chronic (disguised) unemployment. Government schemes that target eradication of both poverty and unemployment (which in recent decades has sent millions of poor and unskilled people into urban areas in search of livelihoods) attempt to solve the problem, by providing financial assistance for setting up businesses, skill honing, setting up public sector enterprises, reservations in governments, etc. The decline in organised employment due to the decreased role of the public sector after liberalisation has further underlined the need for focusing on better education and has also put political pressure on further reforms. India's labour regulations are heavy even by developing country standards and analysts have urged the government to abolish or modify them in order to make the environment more conducive for employment generation. The 11th five-year plan has also identified the need for a congenial environment to be created for employment generation, by reducing the number of permissions and other bureaucratic clearances required. Further, inequalities and inadequacies in the education system have been identified as an obstacle preventing the benefits of increased employment opportunities from reaching all sectors of society.

Child labour in India is a complex problem that is basically rooted in poverty. The Indian government has implemented, since the 1990s, a variety of programs to eliminate child labor. These have included setting up schools, launching free school lunch program, setting up special investigation cells and others.Desai et al. state that recent studies on child labour in India have found some pockets of industries in which children are employed, but overall, relatively few Indian children are employed. Child labor below the age of 10 is now rare. In the 10-14 group, the latest surveys find only 2% of children working for wage, while another 9% work within their home or rural farms assisting their parents in times of high work demand such as sowing and harvesting of crops.

India has the second largest diaspora around the world, an estimated 25 million people, many of whom work overseas and remit funds back to their families. The Middle East region is the largest source of employment of expat Indians. The crude oil production and infrastructure industry of Saudi Arabia employs over 2 million expat Indians. Cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates alone have employed another 2 million Indian construction workers during its construction boom in recent decades. In 2009–10, remittances from Indian migrants overseas stood at INR2500 billion (US$39 billion), the highest in the world, but their share in FDI remained low at around 1%.

Since the early 1950s, Indian government initiated various schemes to help the poor attain self-sufficiency in food production. These have included ration cards and price controls over the supply of basic commodities, particularly food at controlled prices, available throughout the country. These efforts prevented famines, but did little to eliminate or reduce poverty in rural or urban areas between 1950 and 1980.

India suffers from substantial poverty. According to World Bank's estimates on poverty based on 2005 data, India has 456 million people, 41.6% of its population, living below the new international poverty line of $1.25 (PPP) per day. The world Bank further estimates that 33% of the global poor now reside in India. Moreover, India also has 828 million people, or 75.6% of the population living below $2 a day, compared to 72.2% for Sub-Saharan Africa.

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 (or, NREGA No 42) was later renamed as the "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act" (or, MGNREGA), is an Indian labour law and social security measure that aims to guarantee the 'right to work'. It aims to ensure livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

Starting from 200 districts on 2 February 2006, the NREGA covered all the districts of India from 1 April 2008. The statute is hailed by the government as "the largest and most ambitious social security and public works programme in the world". In its World Development Report 2014, the World Bank termed it a "stellar example of rural development".

The MGNREGA was initiated with the objective of "enhancing livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year, to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work". Another aim of MGNREGA is to create durable assets (such as roads, canals, ponds, wells). Employment is to be provided within 5 km of an applicant's residence, and minimum wages are to be paid. If work is not provided within 15 days of applying, applicants are entitled to an unemployment allowance. Thus, employment under MGNREGA is a legal entitlement.

MGNREGA is to be implemented mainly by gram panchayats (GPs). The involvement of contractors is banned. Labour-intensive tasks like creating infrastructure for water harvesting, drought relief and flood control are preferred.

Apart from providing economic security and creating rural assets, NREGA can help in protecting the environment, empowering rural women, reducing rural-urban migration and fostering social equity, among others."

The law provides many safeguards to promote its effective management and implementation. The act explicitly mentions the principles and agencies for implementation, list of allowed works, financing pattern, monitoring and evaluation, and most importantly the detailed measures to ensure transparency and accountability. In the November 2014 cabinet expansion, Birender Singh replaced Nitin Gadkari as rural development minister. Among the first statements made by the new minister was an assurance that NREGA would continue in all districts.

The Twelfth Five-Year Plan of the Government of India has decided for the growth rate at 8.2% but the National Development Council (NDC) on 27 Dec 2012 approved 8% growth rate for 12th five-year plan.

With the deteriorating global situation, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia has said that achieving an average growth rate of 9 percent in the next five years is not possible. The Final growth target has been set at 8% by the endorsement of plan at the National Development Council meeting held in New Delhi.

"It is not possible to think of an average of 9% (in 12th Plan). I think somewhere between 8 and 8.5 percent is feasible,” Mr Ahluwalia said on the sidelines of a conference of State Planning Boards and departments. The approached paper for the 12th Plan, approved last year, talked about an annual average growth rate of 9%.

“When I say feasible... that will require major effort. If you don’t do that, there is no God given right to grow at 8 percent. I think given that the world economy deteriorated very sharply over the last year...the growth rate in the first year of the 12th Plan (2012-13) is 6.5 to 7 percent.”

He also indicated that soon he would share his views with other members of the Commission to choose a final number (economic growth target) to put before the country’s NDC for its approval.

The government intends to reduce poverty by 10% during the 12th Five-Year Plan. Mr Ahluwalia said, “We aim to reduce poverty estimates by 9% annually on a sustainable basis during the Plan period. Earlier, addressing a conference of State Planning Boards and Planning departments, he said the rate of decline in poverty doubled during the 11th Plan. The commission had said, while using the Tendulkar poverty line, the rate of reduction in the five years between 2004–05 and 2009–10, was about 1.5%points each year, which was twice that when compared to the period between 1993-95 to 2004-05.

The Midday Meal Scheme is a school meal programme of the Government of India designed to improve the nutritional status of school-age children nationwide. The programme supplies free lunches on working days for children in Primary and Upper Primary Classes in Government, Government Aided, Local Body, Education Guarantee Scheme, and Alternate Innovative Education Centres, Madarsa and Maqtabs supported under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, and National Child Labour Project schools run by the Ministry of Labour. Serving 120,000,000 children in over 1,265,000 schools and Education Guarantee Scheme centres, it is the largest such programme in the world.

Under Article 24, paragraph 2c of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which India is a party, India has committed to providing "adequate nutritious foods" for children. The programme entered the planning stages in 2001 and was implemented in 2004. The programme has undergone many changes and amendments since its launch.

The MDM scheme has many potential benefits: attracting children from disadvantaged sections (especially girls, Dalits and Adivasis) to school, improving regularity, nutritional benefits, socialization benefits and benefits to women are some that have been highlighted.

Studies by economists show that some of these benefits have indeed been realized. The positive effect on enrollment of disadvantaged children (Dreze and Kingdon), on attendance (by Chakraborty, Jayaraman, Pande), on learning effort (by Booruah, Afridi and Somanathan), on improving nutritional inputs (Afridi), on improving nutritional outcomes (by Singh, Dercon and Parker), and so on.

Literacy in India is a key for socio-economic progress, and the Indian literacy rate has grown to 74.04% (2011 figure) from 12% at the end of British rule in 1947. Although this was a greater than sixfold improvement, the level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84%, and of all nations, India currently has the largest illiterate population. Despite government programmes, India's literacy rate increased only "sluggishly," and a 1990 study estimated that it would take until 2060 for India to achieve universal literacy at then-current rate of progress. The 2011 census, however, indicated a 2001–2011 decadal literacy growth of 9.2%, which is the slower than the growth seen during the previous decade.

There is a wide gender disparity in the literacy rate in India: effective literacy rates (age 7 and above) in 2011 were 82.14% for men and 65.46% for women. The low female literacy rate has had a dramatically negative impact on family planning and population stabillisation efforts in India. Studies have indicated that female literacy is a strong predictor of the use of contraception among married Indian couples, even when women do not otherwise have economic independence. The census provided a positive indication that growth in female literacy rates (11.8%) was substantially faster than in male literacy rates (6.9%) in the 2001–2011 decadal period, which means the gender gap appears to be narrowing.

The Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (Hindi for Total Literacy Campaign) was launched in 2001 to ensure that all children in the 6–14-year age-group attend school and complete eight years of schooling by 2010. An important component of the scheme is the Education Guarantee Scheme and Alternative and Innovative Education, meant primarily for children in areas with no formal school within a one kilometre radius. The centrally sponsored District Primary Education Programme, launched in 1994, had opened more than 160,000 new schools by 2005, including almost 84,000 alternative schools.

Unemployment in India is a serious social issue. Unemployment records in India are kept by the Ministry of Labour and Employment of India. The Government of India has taken several steps to decrease the unemployment rates like launching the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme which guarantees a 100 day employment to an unemployed person in a year. It has implemented it in 200 of the districts and further will be expanded to 600 districts and soon all districts. In exchange for working under this scheme the person is paid 150 per day.

Proposals have been made to construct high-speed railway lines in India but no concrete action has been taken. In 1999, the Konkan Railway Corporation introduced the Roll on Roll off (RORO) service, a unique road-rail synergy system, on the section between Kolad in Maharashtra and Verna in Goa, which was extended up to Surathkal in Karnataka in 2004. The RORO service, the first of its kind in India, allowed trucks to be transported on flatbed trailers. It was highly popular, carrying about 110,000 trucks and bringing in about INR 740 million worth of earnings to the corporation till 2007. but in 2008 the Indian government approved the construction of high-speed railway lines in India by the made in India plan of which over 100,000 KM of high rail way will be built by 2018.

The Indian Armed Forces are the federal military forces of the Republic of India. It consists of four professional uniformed services: the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force and Indian Coast Guard. Additionally, the Indian Armed Forces are supported by two paramilitary organisations (Assam Rifles and Special Frontier Force) and various inter-service institutions such as the Strategic Forces Command. The President of India is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces. The Indian Armed Forces are under the management of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), which is led by the Union Cabinet Minister of Defence. With strength of over 1.3 million active personnel, it is world's 3rd largest military force and the largest standing volunteer army in the world.

It is important to note that the Central Armed Police Forces, which are commonly and incorrectly referred to as 'Paramilitary Forces', are headed by officers from the Indian Police Service and are under the control of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Indian armed forces have been engaged in a number of major military operations, including the Indo-Pakistani wars of 1947, 1965 and 1971, the Portuguese-Indian War, the Sino-Indian War, the 1987 Sino-Indian skirmish, the Kargil War, and the Siachen conflict among others. India honours its armed forces and military personnel annually on Armed Forces Flag Day, 7 December. Since 1962, the IAF has maintained close military relations with Russia, including cooperative development on programmes such as the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) and the Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA). The Indian armed forces are steadily undergoing modernisation, with investments in areas such as a F-INSAS, missile defence system and a nuclear triad.

The Department of Defence Production of the Ministry of Defence is responsible for the indigenous production of equipment used by the Indian Armed Forces. It comprises the 41 Indian Ordnance Factories under control of the Ordnance Factories Board and 8 Defence PSUs namely, HAL, BEL, BEML, BDL, MDL, GSL, GRSE and Midhani. The Indian Armed Forces are the world's largest arms importer, with Russia, Israel, France and the United States being the top foreign suppliers of military equipment.

The Indian armed forces launched the 2025 military improvement program in 2001 which saw the purchase of major equipment from foreign and local manufacturing including a major 2015 arms deal with the US all of which was delivered in early 2016 including fighter jets, electric warfare systems and Attack helicopters.

The Indian air force expanded its fighter force under the 800 fighter plan along with the modernization of helicopters with newer gear. The Navy also expanded by ordering more domestic ships to replace older ships and counter China along with the purchase of four Mistral class ships in 2004 which ere all delivered by 2016 The Indian sub fleet also expanded with 6 French Scorpene based subs and six domestic subs which expanded from the Kilo subs to replace current ones but the biggest was for four type 216 sub ordered in 2001 .

The Indian ground forces aimed to have 1600 T-90 tanks by 2018 and up to 1000 domestic Arjun tanks while replacing current APC and IFV with domestic, US and Russian vehicles with delivery's starting in late 2015 with the kistrel IFV of Indian origin but the foreign gear included 1250 BMP-3 that were ordered in 2000 along with 820 LAV-III and terminator APC from Russia and canada after conflict with Pakistan where it was decided full conflict may be near and current equipment may not be enough despite opposition at the time no vehicle was ready of Indian origin The military also started the 5 billion artillery deals to purchase many hundreds of different artillery pieces for the army starting in 2000 with the purchase of 350 Pegasus howitzers from Singapore followed by the purchase of the G6 Self propelled gun at 350 units and has expanded ever since as the total number of artillery pieces exceeds 2000 over the 16 years and over 800 Self propelled pieces over 14 years. The Indian future soldier program based on similar French programs was delayed but on a steady track for now although nothing other major happened not already planned in defence budgets other then small arms purchases.

Helicopters became a major focus as well despite cutting said fund to purchase up to 80 more SU-30 and up to 185 Rafael's in 2004 along with the mistral purchase although along with these were upgrades to older craft with the MIG-21 being replaced by the Tejas which was aimed to reach a fleet of 320 by 2025 the Helicopter force aimed to purchase 600 new copters including Mi mil-24, 18, 38 and US based Apache, Blackhawks and Chinooks plus the South Korean Surion and Canadian cyclone by 2016 with domestic designed gear including the light observation helicopter, light attack helicopter, Dhruv multirole copter for all three branches to replace older copters. The Indian air force also got new modern Spartan transports to replace the Avro aircraft and dozens of UAV such as the AURA and such for extended operations other aircraft such as the Mig-29 and Mirage fighters were upgraded with the Mirage-2000 being upgraded to a 4000 status and the other MIG fighters being replaces in the early 2020 by the AMCA and the FGFA fighters.

The Navy was based on the purchase of dozens of more ships then needed but the government still wanted it so they increased the numbers and threw more money at it... This included the Kolkata class, Project-17, Kamorta ETC that were entering service and ordering more of current ships such as three more Telawar class and 4 more Shivalk class ships for bigger operations.

Today was the day of suppleness in the country as the nation felt safe as the current world conflicts started to end. The nation remained neutral but sided against the nation as China was they're rival but because of this the nation could now focus on they're main enemy...Pakistan....

Jesus Christ Zatak... relax :clap:

The North African Union was forged out of blood and pain with a nasty war with the poorer African nations.
The North African Union sports mainly western beliefs and has stamped out terrorism within the region.
The government has also began paying attention to social welfare and public education.
New schools and hospitals are being opened all across the NAU, in a hope to create new, smarter generation.
Military and Law Enforcement seems to be the number 1 priority within the government of the NAU.
The NAU offers the following alliances:

Military, Economic & Trade: Pan Eastern Coalition
Economic and Trade: India

-edit-

Seeing as no one is on-line, I will take this opportunity to add more to my post:

The North African Union hopes to start a close alliance with the Pan Eastern Coalition to utilize their vast oil and gold reserves.
With an NAU foothold in these reserves, our military can rise and our economy would truly flourish.
Expansion into West Africa (no, Ebola does not exist) is also a key priority for the NAU.

Greetings North African Federation,

You'll have a good, secure life when being alive means more to you than security, love more than money, your freedom more than public or partisan opinion, when the mood of Beethoven's or Bach's music becomes the mood of your whole life … when your thinking is in harmony, and no longer in conflict, with your feelings … when you let yourself be guided by the thoughts of great sages and no longer by the crimes of great warriors … when you pay the men and women who teach your children better than the politicians; when truths inspire you and empty formulas repel you; when you communicate with your fellow workers in foreign countries directly, and no longer through diplomats.

Novelty and Security: the security of novelty, the novelty of security. Always the full thing, the whole subject, the true subject, stood just behind the one you found yourself contemplating. The trick, but it wasn't a trick, was to take up at once the thing you saw and the reason you saw it as well; to always bite off more than you could chew, and then chew it. If it were self-indulgence for him to cut and polish his semiprecious memories, and yet seem like danger, like a struggle he was unfit for, then self-indulgence was a potent force, he must examine it, he must reckon with it.

When anything in life is an absolute requirement for your happiness and self-worth, it is essentially an ‘idol,’ something you are actually worshiping. When such a thing is threatened, your anger is absolute. Your anger is actually the way the idol keeps you in its service, in its chains. Therefore if you find that, despite all the efforts to forgive, your anger and bitterness cannot subside, you may need to look deeper and ask, ‘What am I defending? What is so important that I cannot live without?’ It may be that, until some inordinate desire is identified and confronted, you will not be able to master your anger.

We here in the Republic of India would gladly accept your agreement for we believe that as regional powers it is are duty to protect and spread the essence of freedom through Asia and Africa as a whole be it with guns or be it with love.

Signed,
Indian Ministry of External Affairs

All across the lands of the North Southeast Asia, people are celebrating the new year of 2015, a year that promises stability for the newly formed coalition. The nations of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia formed this unity of military and economical strength to face the new world with Myanmar joining shortly after the formation of the coalition.

Nattapon Chirativat is the Chairman of the NSAC. He is a very logical and experienced man having served as Thai soldier and Thailand's Secretary of Defense. His heritage is also what makes him voted as the leader. His father's grandparents were Laotian (grandfather) and Vietnamese (grandmother), while his parents were Lao-Viet (father) and Thai-Cambodian (mother) respectively.

Nattapon Chirativat, Chairman of NSAC

Public Speech to the people of the Coalition at Bangkok, Thailand

"Hello and good morning to all citizens of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar, or as I would call us, Brothers of North Southeast Asia. It is of my utmost respect to serve you all, as the Chairman of this great Coalition.

Before we move on to the next agenda, allow me to wish you all, a Happy New Year 2015! May our nations will prosper in the good direction. Let us spread good will and peace by gifting or visiting each others, to further strengthen our bonds as the peoples of this coalition, and show to the world our close relations, so that they may not have the will, to provoke us.

Brothers,
With the come of this new year comes new challenges, and we will make sure that we overcome these problems; so that we may live in peace and harmony. We must stick together in times of peace or war, like a stick and a bundle of stick, which would break if I were to apply the same pressure to both? Of course the single stick would easily be snapped, but the bundle of stick will need far more power and pressure to snap all of them in one go."

*he stands after sitting and talking, lifting his arm up in the air*

"We need to be like the bundle of sticks, for the sake of our countries! Our heritage! Our FREEDOM! Rise! people of North Southeast Asia! It is time for us to unite under ONE flag! Under ONE name! It is TIME brothers! It is TIME for us to UNITE!!"

*pause*
"Thank you."

Stockholm, Sweden
The citizens of BSF were celebrating New Year's Eve in the capital of BSF. There were fireworks and parties.

Baltic Sea
No oil spillings occured on the Baltic Sea.

The Baltic Sea Federation is a federation of six Baltic states, excluding Denmark, Russia, Kaliningrad Oblast and Germany. It was founded in 2010 to protect the Baltic Sea from illegal oil spillings and foreign military exercises. It hasn't been in any conflict since it's establishment, except for the Terror War against al-Qaeda.

North Southeast Asia Coalition (NSAC)
Myanmar - Cambodia - Thailand - Laos - Vietnam

NSAC Military Branch
With the new year celebrations already behind, Supreme Military Commander of NSAC, Kanok Thaksin along with the highest generals of each members of the coalition assemble at a secret military base.

If possible, he wants to make sure that their army is up to date and can withstand against any foreign invasions. For this matter, he discusses the possibilities of decommissioning some old Cold War era tanks with Vietnam, as they cannot keep up with today's engineering marvels. The materials that they get from scrapping them will in turn be used to make newer tanks, as they plan to design and manufacture their own tank for use in the jungle terrains of the lands.

This is still in preliminary stage, and the process of designing the tank in blueprints has already begun. Several noted main points that should be incorporated into the design are the following:

- It should not weigh more than 50 tonnes
- Good acceleration and speed are both important
- Efficient fuel consumption rate (doesn't consume too much fuel)
- Armour: Composite armour all around + ERA blocks at the front and sides (hull and turret)
- Gun: 120mm Smoothbore gun
- Affordable price to be mass-produced

However, this would likely take around 2 years to finish its first prototype to iron out flaws and because it is the first tank developed indigenously by them. The platform of the tank will eventually be used as the basis of several other military vehicles.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

NSAC Territories
New schools and learning institutes are now currently being built and existing ones are being upgraded in line with NSAC's policy on its people. They want to increase the literacy rate so that new generations will be able to smoothly govern the nations.

Other civil infrastructures such as roads and hospitals are also going through the same process. This is of course will take a lot of money that was diverted from other sectors but it will pay off in the long run.

The Republic of Wadiya
"Aladeen Motherfuckers!"

Wadyian Military

All nations in the world are jealous of the Republic of Wadiya, as it is described as the best country on earth. Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen has declared that the Wadiyan Military will meet the standards of the US and China, and possibly even Russia. Education and healthcare are dropped, and Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen states that you must be in the Wadyian Military to recieve them. But glorious Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen goes one further by stating that all businesses, corporations, transport, and more are now run by the Wadyian Military and that if the citizens of Wadiya do not serve within the military they will be shot. Wadiya has an alliance with the Rouge Nation of North Korea, both nations constantly sending each other arms, and both leaders constantly in touch and meeting. The Wadyian Military is soon to become to envy of Africa and the Middle East.

Over all, military spending now consumes 70% of Wadyias high GDP.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen demands that all nations begin trading with Wadiya. He also asks for a military alliance with the NAU and PEC.

Labour in India refers to employment in the economy of India. In 2012, there were around 487 million workers, the second largest after China. Of these over 94 percent work in unincorporated, unorganised enterprises ranging from pushcart vendors to home-based diamond and gem polishing operations. The organised sector includes workers employed by the government, state-owned enterprises and private sector enterprises. In 2008, the organised sector employed 27.5 million workers, of which 17.3 million worked for government or government owned entities.

The India Labour and Employment Report (ILER) 2016 prepared by Institute for Human Development (IHD) and the Indian Society of Labour Economics was released by Union Minister of Rural Development, Mr. Jairam Ramesh, who was also the Chief Guest on this occasion on 15 December 2013 at New Delhi. Professor Deepak Nayyar, former Vice Chancellor of Delhi University chaired the release function. Ms. Tine Staermose, Director, ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and Country office for India addressed the gathering on behalf of the Ms. Sandra Polaski, Deputy Director General, International Labour organization, who could not join the release. It was followed by comments by Dr. Simon Deakin, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge and Dr. C. Rammanohar Reddy, Editor, Economic and Political Weekly. The Report was released amidst a distinguished gathering of eminent experts, scholars, civil-society representatives, policy-makers, representatives of the international organizations and development practitioners. The preparation of this Report was supported by International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

Professor Alakh N. Sharma, Director, Institute for Human Development while presenting the ILER 2014 said that the first report provides an overview of the labour and employment scenario in India during the last two decades after globalisation. Based on latest data, the Report succinctly brings out the emerging pattern of labour market outcomes and challenges of employment. It assesses the gains and losses for labour in the first round of globalisation during last two decades. The central message of the report endorses that a responsive, fair and comprehensive labour and employment policy is vital for sustainable and inclusive development. He also informed that the Report is planned to be brought out by IHD biennially, and the ILER 2016 is the first in the series.

Mr. Jairam Ramesh, congratulated IHD and Professor Sharma for bringing out a first class Report on employment which was very timely. In his address he expressed his concern about why small scale manufacturing never took off in India while Bangladesh is ahead of India in garment manufacturing. He also said that there is lack of flexibility in leading entrepreneurs to invest in capital intensive and not labour intensive industries. He further argued that migration should be encouraged for employment generation. It is important that there should be no barriers to migration by youth. The minister said that the report will inform policy in a big way.

Reflecting on the report, Dr. Arjan de Haan of IDRC said, India is the world’s 2nd largest emerging economy, with 15 % of the global labour force, a very good growth record over the last two decades. Yet 62% of its workers are still engaged in informal employment, working without contract, no social protection, and with sub-standard productivity. 82 million workers live below a poverty line of $2 per day, and their bargaining posi.5tions have declined as the economy grows. This India Labour and Employment Report 2016 provides an excellent description of this astonishing reality, and – at least as important – identifies options for addressing this reality, highlighting urgent needs for job creation in and by the private sector, balancing expansion of the number of jobs with enhancing job quality, and improving the skills and capabilities of workers. We at IDRC hope and trust that this excellent report prepared by the Institute for Human Development will give a much-needed push to help address these urgent challenges.

India has four major social insurance programs. However, small enterprise employers and employees have been choosing not to join the insurance programs, worrying about cost burden, income being disclosed or welfare benefits being cut. As a result, workers are unprepared for unemployment or life after retirement, making it urgent to introduce more systematic and specific protections. To make sure vulnerable groups are covered by a social safety net, the government has decided to subsidize the insurance premiums and has revised a relevant law. Under the revised law, the government has covered part of social insurance premiums for about 890 million people as of late 2013.

With the types of working arrangements becoming more diverse, an increasing number of people are engaged in special types of work. In courier services, where the risk of accidents is high in particular, the numbers of workers have rapidly risen. In response, the government has expanded the coverage of the workers’ compensation insurance to include people in special types of work who are in urgent need of protection from accidents. The government is also considering expanding the coverage of the employment insurance to cover people in special types of work in which workers have highly dependent relationships with their supervisors.

For the poor, the government plans to reform the benefits system of the National Basic Living Security program to make work pay and expand the scope of preferential beneficiaries of employment services to ensure self-reliance and self-support through work. The report gave rise to a new 40 Billion dollar program that was passed on May, 30, 2016 called the Indian Social Development Reform or ISDR for short.

India Social Development Reform: 2016 (ISDR Project)

The following points cover a number of initiatives which the government of Korea is currently undertaking.

The people can only hope that things work out yet the year is young and much can still happen but as it is so early nothing has happened minus stupid conflicts in Qatar but that did not effect India that much so it was calm for now and hopefully they could make it through another year with out everyone killing each other or worse them killing there own country....

That changed when the PEC shot down a 289 manned civilian aircraft of Indian origin and while it was Indian most of the casualty were from people of other nations with only 88 people being Indian born or Indian civilians, 97 being from South east asia, 62 being from North Africa and the rest being of mixed. The people got what they expected with the government releasing some sort of patriotic message crap that no one cared for after which they gave there demands which included a apology, compensation for the families, the wreckage, the bodies and the black box of the aircraft all in hopes of given some people closure.

GRAND ORDER OF THE 4TH REICH

From: Kaiser Adolf Hitler II
To: Government of the BSF

Greetings,

We are disturbed and shocked by the acts taken by the BSF which put the borders of the 4th Reich at risk. We understand it is your common goal to unite the Baltic Sea nations under one banner for protection from foreign aggression, but the recent submission of Poland and Denmark, which are areas of interest to the 4th Reich to the BSF has alarmed myself. We do not appreciate our border nations being militarized and it is taken as an act of hostility towards the 4th Reich, which is why the government of the 4th Reich and myself are asking for the following things:

A. Poland and Denmark are succeeded into the Reich
OR
B. Demilitarization of Poland and Denmark

Kind Regards,
- Kaiser Adolf Hitler II

The United States of America

Strengthening the Military

Earlier today, the Republican-dominated Congress signed off a bill that would reduce Social Welfare and public support and instead, further strengthen the military in such dark times. The newly-elected President, Kenneth Gates, and the previous Mayor of New York, stated, "it is crucial for us to understand that the World is becoming an even more dangerous place. We hope that the citizens of the United States will support us in this endeavour by trying to boost national security." However, this move has come under the fire of the Democratic Party as well as many other moderate-left wing parties advocating for peace in the world. "PEACE! WE NEED PEACE, not more war!" A member of the National Peace Society slammed the table as he stood up angrily. "What is the point of spending people's hard-earned money on a man-destroying machine?"

Education to be accelerated

The Secretary of Education has also announced his plans for creating a more efficient and much better education system. "Our education system, under the liberal ideals of the Democratic Party, have failed," Richard Harwick accused Obama of causing the decline in the performance of public schools. "From now on, we would introduce a more disciplined, regimental and faster education system to truly challenge our young children. Primary Education in the formative years of 6 to 13 will be made compulsory for all, regardless of background, and all public schools shall have a standardised syllabus. The students to teacher ratio shall be at a maximum of 20 students to a teacher for high achieving classes and a reasonable 30 students to a teacher for normal classes, and special Gifted Education Programmes will be crafted for especially gifted children."

More to come, after the break.

Canadian Legislative Elections.

The Canadian Elections have finished yesterday evening at 0:00 AM. This morning, the results are the following:

The Coalition between the Canadian Ecologists and the Liberal Conservative Party (blue) is the new ruling party. Its progressive ideology seduced 61,4% of the Canadian Population. The Party has been very Popular in the Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and, more surprisingly, the Nunavut. A women in Windsor, Ontario, close to the US border said;"The idea of reviving the NAFTA is simply brilliant. I voted for the Ecologist-Liberals!
A deputy in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, declared: "Nunavut has had enough of being ignored.
Even Quebec voted for the Ecologist-Liberals, with a mass vote in Montréal. At midnight, when the first results were given, a mass of festivities started in all the country, notably in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Winnipeg. The only part of the Nation which has resisted to the Ecologist-Liberal invasion was Newfoundland and New Scotland. There are nearly no deputy representing the ruling party in these constituencies.

Info on...

John Westey. John Westey is Canada's new Prime Minister. At an interview on CTV, he declared he wanted, at short term, an alliance with the United States and a new NAFTA. When Yoann Juk, the Journalist, asked Westey what his priority was, he replied: "My priority is certainly education... education is the fuel of future."
Nevertheless, he is also concerned by the environment, being a Ecologist Liberal. He said to Yoann Juk that he wanted to preserve all natural sites and species. But what set up a scandal was the answer to Yoann's question : "But how about energy ? "
Westey's amswer was: " There shall be no more petrol and gas. this is too polluting. These energies must be replaced by renewable ones such as dams and solar pannels." He then added "At a point, I would rather have nuclear energy than fossil energy. "
John Westey is definitely a peculiar and puzzling person. Will he be a good Leader for Canada?

GRAND ORDER OF THE 4TH REICH

From: Kaiser Adolf Hitler II
To: Government of the BSF

Greetings,

We are disturbed and shocked by the acts taken by the BSF which put the borders of the 4th Reich at risk. We understand it is your common goal to unite the Baltic Sea nations under one banner for protection from foreign aggression, but the recent submission of Poland and Denmark, which are areas of interest to the 4th Reich to the BSF has alarmed myself. We do not appreciate our border nations being militarized and it is taken as an act of hostility towards the 4th Reich, which is why the government of the 4th Reich and myself are asking for the following things:

A. Poland and Denmark are succeeded into the Reich
OR
B. Demilitarization of Poland and Denmark

Kind Regards,
- Kaiser Adolf Hitler II

To: 4th Reich
From: BSF
Dear Kaiser, your nation is a potential threat to mankind due to Nazism. Denmark and Poland is your territories now, but if you try to get more land, consequences can be possible.

Sincerly, Chancellor Oscar Wolfheart

Official Communique of the Federal Republic of Canada
Communiqué Officiel de la République Fédérale du Canada

From: John Westey, Prime minister of Canada
To: Kenneth Gates, President of the USA
Subject: Seeking alliance with the United States of America

Mr, President
As you know, we share a common border, the longest in the world, over 8000 km long. We also share the same seas, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Beaufort Sea and the arctic ocean. we share the Great Lakes, with Toronto at one side, Chicago at the other. We share the same borders, may it be with Mainland US than with Alaska. But why don't we share an alliance and a free trade agreement?
The goal of this alliance is to regroup our military, in order to become stronger in these difficult times, but not only. Trade is an essential component of this alliance. As you may know, Canada wants a new NAFTA, and this free trade agreement is a good step to it. It is win-win.
I hope you will consider this offer

Sincerely
John Westey, Prime Minister of Canada
