During the 1960s, Scytharum was innovating in its space program, after the German testing of rockets from Deutches Afrika. The Scythian and German technologies alike became more refined, with Scytharum managing to land the first man on the Moon, and Germany following with one of their astronauts soon after. As well, numerous international insurgent groups, largely funded by the at-the-time newly created Comintern Internationale, were crushed by both SHTO and the European Commonwealth, now known as the Reichspact Europa after merging with the Balkan Pact, an event that occurred in 1971 after the Ottomans withdrew their membership of the pact. The EC crushed two revolutions, one in Deutches Afrika due to the aforementioned missile projects occurring while Africans starved on the streets in extreme poverty, and the other in Iran, a Communist revolution supported by the Soviet Union, and one which almost succeeded except for a decisive Bulgarian force's capture of the revolution's leadership. Meanwhile, Scytharum and the Southern Hemisphere Trident Operation also had to quell two uprisings, a Communist revolution in Cobango and another in Indochina, both of which were victories. Indochina, however, was a hard-fought victory, one which was only won due to Scytharum capturing and holding territory, rather than letting any go, leading to a quicker and decisive war and a victory.

Greetings from the United Commonwealths, a bastion of Freedom, Catholicism, and Cheese, oh my! With a strong military and stronger beliefs in liberty, morality, and equality, Scytharum as a nation seeks to reflect the best in mankind, from his ambition to his moral compass. If one has a desire for greater faith, cool muscle cars, or some pretty great food, Scytharum is the nation for you! Have a wonderful day!

The 1960s was a period of calm in Scotland. While social upheaval was experienced across much of the western world in this period, Scotland was relatively unscathed. The centre-right government oversaw continuous economic growth and the institution of anti-communist policies which helped stem the spread of radical politics in Scotland. The first generation of children raised under the Gaelic revival came of age, and the language flourished in both its traditional heartlands as well as the central belt. In the world of sports, the 60s marked the end of the dominance of Glasgow clubs in football, and the Premier League became renowned for its level of competitivity.

Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

In the 1960s Transsibiria (Aka the Soviet Union) was still busily rebuilding and redeveloping itself from hardships of the post World War II era altough things were rapidly improving and progressing that time and society started slowly to become more open and dynamic as well after the very harsh 1950s. Living standards became increasingly bearable too.

My country was considered a developing country until 1973 year We entered EEC.

During the 60s We were under a conservative military junta "soft" dictatorship from 1960 to 1967.

My country economy was hit very hard by ww2. My economy was based mostly on agricultural products for export. We were relatively undamaged by the war. Because also from civil wars in neighbouring countries and WW2 left wing guerrillas operated in remote border areas in my country weak military and police had problems disarming them.
During WW2 until the 50s. We lost most of our export markets.

We as a country relatively underdeveloped and undamaged We received little funds from Marshall plan. As result of that during the 50s my country was under political instability because of powerty. Also during the 50s We abandoned neutrality signing a defense agreement with the USA in 1952 entering NATO in 1955.

During the 50s my country economy started growing because our main partners started growing and buying our products again also my country industrialized as foreign countries had invested and more foreign industries settled in my territory because soil was cheap and wages too. So the first plans for expressway 1 were drawn.
During the 60s tourism boomed. We became a country recipient of migrants, as income per capita grew also did the middle class. There was a baby boom to and living conditions improved a lot since 1950.

And, the Junta in spite of being conservatives had to accept our Northern neighbours strong currencies and liberal behaviour. Also the in positions of the World Bank to give a generous loan to the Country.
In 1967 the Junta fell and was replaced by the Democratic Fuster Government.
Under his tenure. All Political parties were legalized, censorship ended and political prisoners were freed. And, We became EEC member nation.

The years 1960-1969AD are numbered 1174-1181AU by the Rhanukhani duodecimal calendar, but I'll convert dates for the benefit of my international audience.

This decade fell during the reign of one of Rhanukhan's most beloved monarchs, Dominus Anthony IV (r.1934-1992), popularly known by many as "Uncle Tony".

By this decade Rhanukhan had become a nuclear power, taking advantage of the extensive uranium deposits discovered in Harghattoria province, as well as a spacefaring one, with the first Rhanukhani astronaut setting foot on Sargvilosahnah's* moon in 1968 (Commander Amelia Vambrace, famously stating, "The journey into infinity begins with this single step.").

Work had also commenced on augmenting Rhanukhan's extensive rail networks with the MagLev XRT on major routes and the ongoing construction of an Interprovincial 10-Lane Mega Highway System was transforming the nation's transportation infrastructure for decades to come.

Truly, it was an age of great social and scientific advancement - the citizens of the Unified Provinces of Rhanukhan had never been happier or more prosperous. The reversal of the country's fortunes under the rule of Anthony's son just a couple of decades later is, of course, the subject for a different thread.

Historical Events

During the 60s, life expectancy and quality of life in Bukravia dropped when a coup led by officers with Communist sympathies overthrew the right-wing civilian government at the time. The army was disbanded and reformed into the "People's Army of Bukravia". This outraged the mostly-traditionalist and Catholic Bukravian people. Along with this problem was resentment from the now unemployed soldiers of the former Bukravian Ground Forces. This led to a right-wing insurgency which was mostly supported by the general public. With the US backing the rebel groups, this allowed the insurgents to overthrow the pro-USSR government in the "August 12 Coup" and reinstate the old Nationalist government.

Domestic Affairs

After the recent deposition of the pro-USSR government, many of the old staff joined a new communist insurgent group known as the "People's Revolutionary Army". The formation of this group in 1966 would go on to become one of the most challenging security threat the Bukravian military had to deal with, always remaining at the forefront of the armed forces' top concerns.

Military Affairs

With the reestablishment of the Nationalist government, the government authorizes the development of nuclear weapons in order to uphold the sovereignty of Bukravia and to deter foreign powers from invading Bukravia. And, in order to "get revenge" against the reds, they start intervening in wars on the side of the anti-communists.

Scotland was experiencing a period of economic and social progress in the early 1960s. The National League had a firm grip on power but its moderate faction was currently in control. Morgan Creag took over the premiership in Easter and continued the economic programme of Bruce Watson and Wendy Wood. Deficit spending was used to drive economic growth and unemployment reached record lows. The middle classes were growing rapidly and a golden age of Scottish football, both domestic and international, gave Scots reason to be happy. Creag was toppled by his own party in 1962 as A. D. Gibb took over as Prime Minister. Gibb was fiscally conservative and sought to curb inflation, resulting in diminished levels of deficit spending which slowed economic growth. He was re-elected in 1965 but his Euroscepticism caused issues with the public who desired membership in the EEC. Coupled with slow economic growth and an unpopular reform of the sales & luxuries taxes, the Nationalist golden era came to an end with the turn of the decade. Protests against the government were common throughout the late 1960s as Pro-European sentiment became widespread.
