How is moving money from one place to another unrealistic. :/

It hasn't been implemented and won't be implemented until January 1st, 2015 (to which I think we are in march of 2014?)

You completely axed public social security in one fell swoop without any public dissent in your state, then announced you are increasing your military spending to become the 2nd largest in the world, when Germany has always taken action to avoid appearances of military strength because of WW1/WW2. It's not within the bounds of reality. You have leeway to RP your nation how you want but you can't just do a 180 on state policy in one post, we need to preserve realism. If you're hellbent on doing it though, be prepared for the consequences. If the recent activity with Hong Kong is any indicator, you're going to soon lose support from a lot of allies and you've pretty much destroyed Germany's international reputation.

I think the OP would have to rule if your actions are within the scope of the RP, because admittedly there haven't been any set restrictions. The last RL RP I did we restricted activities to being within the bounds of reason, and definitely not changing long-standing policy in one post. Either way, if it's okay'd then you will be facing serious repercussions. Maybe not from Japan, but the rest of the world will got nuts.

All that needs to happen is China removing its massive AIDZ.

I've stated this many times.

Many times.

I've submitted a resolution to the UN to vote on. If it is passed, Germany will not increase defense spending by nearly as much. Maybe two or three billion?

Two to three billion is more than reasonable. But I highly doubt China is going to buckle to a threat such as Germany massively increasing its military budget. If anything, you give China ammunition to show the West is openly intimidating China and is the aggressor. Still, it's so far out of the bounds of RL Germany's policies that it defies realism.

We all know what happened when Germany last increased its defense by a large margin.
China got the full head of it as well.
And China is being the aggressor of multiple nations by its new AIDZ.

Germany is simply standing up.

Yes, we all know what happened last time, Poland invaded, Netherlands invaded, Belgium...

so reason enough to see as a threat to dutch sovereignity

I agree that China is the aggressor, but your response is overblown. Are you planning to invade China if they don't capitulate? How are your people handling this, there is no mention of their opinions, like opposition parties?

Reserve DPRK

Aw hell yeah.

Official Name of Nation: Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Population estimate: 25 Million
Head of State: Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un
Head of Government: Kim Yong-nam
Capital City: Pyongyang

A brief rundown of the military
Army: 1,000,000
Air Force: 500,000
Navy: 500,000
Anything else? (Nukes, Chemical Weapons, Missiles, anything that doesn't fit in the other ones)

Describe the Government system: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a Dominant Party Juche state. The dominant party is the Workers' Party of Korea which adopts the idea of Juche. Juche which main motto is ""man is the master of everything and decides everything" can be seen as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist style system with an emphasis on the Korean people and their culture. This emphasis is to maximize the effectiveness of the ideas of Marx Lenin and Mao for the Korean people by adding political independence, economic self-sustenance, and self-reliance in defense. The country on a national level is ran by a unicameral parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly which is the final destination for a proposal before it is passed and becomes the law.
Describe the economy: The economy is heavily centralized to prevent things such as exploitation of workers. Centralization basically means that the government has control over all industries and there are no private owners of a company. This middle man eliminates a large sum of money in the prices which enables the prices of items to be cheaper then they would if there was privatization. The economy is recovering from a long depression which started in the early 1990s when they virtually lost all of their major trading partners in Eastern Europe. After the loss of their major trading partners the DPRK was forced to change their approach to trading with nations that do not share their morales and ideals. The main exports for the DPRK are minerals, metallurgical products, manufactures (including armaments), textiles, agricultural and fishery products, coal, iron ore, limestone, graphite, copper, zinc, and lead which they trade with their three major trading partners, China, Republic of Korea, and India. The GDP is $40 billion and per capita is $1,800. The GDP by sector are as follows: 43.1% in industry, 33.6% in services, 23.3% in agriculture and fisheries. The standard of living in the North has raised tremendously since the depression in the 90s, the blackouts have been stopped, the people are able to get food at a very cheap price since food is a necessity, and medical care has increased dramatically in the past few years due to advances in science and the boost in the economy.
Describe the state of Foreign Affairs: The DPRK is generally isolated from the world but does maintain relations with China, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Bolivia, Belarus, and Russia
Describe the state of the nation internally: (Just how it's doing in general, basically) Since Kim Jong-un took power, the DPRK has seen an increase in the quality of life. However, the Worker's Party of Korea is facing few issues within their party. With Songun not being needed, the few politicians which gained their power by military rank are fighting to keep their position while others fighting to remove them since their presence is no longer needed.
Any additional notes: To prevent claims of "godmodding" I must emphasis the amount of reserves the Korean People's Army has, they have over 8 million in their reserves due to the Songun (Military First Policy). However, these reserves are specifically designed only to be used in the events of an invasion from say the United States, South Korea, or Japan. These 8 million in reserve serve as militia for their towns and cities. The reserves are not as well trained and armed as the main army but they do provide a huge boost in the KPA's fight to defend the DPRK from an invader. The main army which is deployed is designed for both defense and offense.

RP example:

Democratic People's Republic of Korea

The January 31st, 2014 Edition of the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, Juche 103
Marshal KIM JONG UN has announced that he will be preparing visits throughout the countryside to see what needs to be done to boost the countries industry output. He plans to kick off this trip on February 10th in Anju which is north of Pyongyang. Marshal KIM JONG UN is planned to arrive at Anju's town hall by motorcade where he will meet the local leaders on what needs to be done to boost Anju's output in their coal production. He also hopes that his visit will also boost the morale of the workers to do even better then what they are doing and to inspire the children that no matter what the job they will be doing in the future, that they will still be very important and that they are the backbone which keep the DPRK standing tall against all other nations. In other news, Marshal KIM JONG UN has extended an invitation to new Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the country and to see the many beautiful things the DPRK has and he hopes that this will tighten the bond between the two nations and to return to the friendship that both nations had when both founders, Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and Eternal President KIM IL SUNG were still alive.

Well shizz....if he plays the DPRK and this China Air Defense zone heats up, most likely the DPRK will join china and we will have a serious ground troop problem if you know what I mean...

I, for one, welcome our Best Korean overlords

Ah it's all good, just give me the nod and i'll start reforming Japan's constitution to allow things like cruisers and aircraft carriers. Public support for reform is definitely at an all time high given Chinese aggression...

Aw hell yeah.

I am still thinking about what to do with civilians. And I'm not planning anything. I think China is about to do something stupid. So I'm just planning to defend NATO if something stupid happens.

(If China did something to NATO before 2015 im screwed)

That's why I want the AIDZ decreased.

Honestly, I highly doubt anything will happen. China's navy is no match for combined US/Japan and they'd be absolutely annihilated if they invaded Japan with anything short of nuclear weapons.

It's just a bit of a pissing match, really.

[Owlowiscious]

And because, I have a strong stance against China in real life, and now that I control a country that has say in the world, I'm showing my disdain.

no.

And Hong Kong is the ONLY reason China got to where it was at. China was nothing country until Hong Kong got ceeded back, and the World Player appeared.

Why would China do anything to NATO? They are on the other side of the world. China isn't militarily capable of projecting their power that far.
