I have a name for the conference. The Workers International - Caracas 1938

*Nods of approval* This is taking shape, I am so excited!
(At first I thought everyone was going to be like "meh..")

Will you call the Conference or shall I?

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Well I mean... Russia wasn't that Liberal and look what happened. Even the Bolshevik Party wasn't a majority, they named themselves Bolshevik even though they were a minority.

Were not the Bolshevik's called that do to the Mensheviks being around?

Mensheviks means minority
Bolshevik means majority

Those were the two socialist factions in Russia prior to the revolution. The Mensheviks (who were actually the majority within the faction) were against the Bolshevik's idea of a socialist revolution and a vanguard party.

Actually, now that I read about it again, they were both in a stalemate. They (Bolsheviks) called themselves Bolshevik to make it seem as if they were the majority in the faction.

[The Jonathanian States]

I think I finished my app

Updated parts of my application.

I'll take a look at that ASAP.

Also, any idea when the IC will be up?

Definitely not today, I doubt it'd be tomorrow.

Germany, you should totally go Communist too.

Then we can invade the USSR because they're not the type of Communist we like.

Damn Stalinists.

Lol. Not ironically the USSA doesn't agree with stalinism. Hence why Earl Browder will be my Roosevelt and people will be scared he is in power too long so they will put term limits on the politburo presidency after he dies in 1944.

Interesting...

If I do go communist, it will be the type that believes in liberty, representation, equality of opportunity, and so forth.

...Fourth International to spread Communist goodwill?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT THE COMMUNIST HORDES, NOT JOIN THEM! So that's how Obi-Wan felt?

Germany halp Red menace at borders

Yes. *loads and unlocks gun* seems its time to get ready.

So was I accepted?

Not yet.

So was I accepted?

^ This. Never got a response either

Neither, as of now. So many things.

Germany halp Red menace at borders

Well, for now it's merely a thing that could happen.

We'd still likely stay on good terms with Germany if it did happen.

And the reformed USSR and USSA, too

Ah, ok. Just as we'd like. Just ignore those armed men running into your parliament.

Well, for now it's merely a thing that could happen.

We'd still likely stay on good terms with Germany if it did happen.

And the reformed USSR and USSA, too

^ I love how everyone assumes that the USSR will be this monster trying to get rid of everyone

The surprise they will get

That sounds quite good.

^ I love how everyone assumes that the USSR will be this monster trying to get rid of everyone

The surprise they will get

Well, I do remember you saying something about reforms.

The hope was that should this chain of events go down, we'd end up striking an alliance.

Mhm... suddenly my whole secondary plan seems to go poof. The primary plan's been in doubt for a while, but plans indeed survive no contact with the enemy.

You get Serbia and Bosnia, and Slavonia, I get Dalmazia, Venice, Istria South Tyrol, Crete and Gorizia. Germany gets Austria, Bohemia and Austrian Poland, Romania gets Transylvania

Actually, TYROL IS ÖSTERREICH. I'd take that as well. At least, the northern half of it (Trentino, was it?)
But no, Austria is friend, not food.

Just give up on Central America and we're fine. We can't really do anything about Canada at this point.

You want Austrian rocket technology for much ICBMs, ja?

Wat? But Germany and Austria into cooperation?

Germany, you should totally go Communist too.

Then we can invade the USSR because they're not the type of Communist we like.

Damn Stalinists.

Screw them.

Never!

Do you control the Suez Canal or what is going on in that area?

He controls the western half.

Do you control the Suez Canal or what is going on in that area?

The Germans control the Suez canal I'm pretty sure. They wouldn't have bothered annexing eastern Suez if it wasn't the part with the canal.

The germans control the eastern half. That is enough to lock ships out, but not enough to be able to guarantee ships coming in.
When war comes to either Britain or Germany, let alone both, the strait is going to be interesting.

The Germans control the Suez canal I'm pretty sure. They wouldn't have bothered annexing eastern Suez if it wasn't the part with the canal.

Mkay. I assume everyone is allowed to cross it, correct?

Everybody who is a civilian not at war with germany (or Britain, I'd assume). Military ships need special permissions, ships at war may be denied.

The Germans control the Suez canal I'm pretty sure. They wouldn't have bothered annexing eastern Suez if it wasn't the part with the canal.

It's more of a split, I would think. I control one half, Germany controls the other.

Yes, exactly.

Actually I think I will switch back to Venezuela.

The President commands the air force but delegates power to the Air Marshall who in turn delegates power to the individual Squadron Commander.

Other
History: Everything is the same as in real life until 1914. The discovery of oil reserves, creating an economic boom and switching the economic focus from agriculture to industry proved to be key to Venezuela. By selling oil to both the Central Powers and the Allies they greatly increased the wealth of the country. Using this new wealth the government began to invest in the Five Year Plan, which specified for a new economic model, by reforming the business model and loosening restrictions to increase investment the plan, the plan helped industrialize Venezuela creating a vibrant industrial scene. Foreign business' started employing Venezuelan workers and by outsourcing to Venezuela.

Many people moved away from traditional farming into the now profitable industrial business. But as restrictions loosened the economic situations deteriorated. By 1926 the government had stopped making money on the oil business, because they had completely privatized it. In the government under President Raul Trinidad realized and the right-wing People's Front acknowledged that their model had failed. But they still refused to let go of power. But they still began to slowly tighten restrictions.

In 1927, three high-ranking members of the military, Lt. Gen Juan de San Dominigo, Lt. Col. Nicolás de Perón and Air Marshal José Cervantes established the Bolivarian Committee for Venezuela, inspired by Simón Bolívar's ideology. On March 1st, 1927 they lead the army and various civil factions in a bloodless coup. Raul Trinidad and his government fled the country for Colombia, where the Colombian government offered him asylum. The army followed him, invading Colombia the day after. They quickly marched through the country and defeated the Colombians at Bogota a week after. Colombia was defeated and the Treaty of Bogota imposed harsh terms. The Army of Colombia was permanently capped at 80,000, and Venezuela was given control of Colombian foreign policy.

The Committee quickly remodeled the nation, tightening restrictions on the economy and imposing a Bolivarian constitution. Soon it became obvious that Nicolás de Perón was the dominant member. When the military junta was due to expire on the 1st of December they determined that Nicolás de Perón would take control as the First President of Bolivarian Venezuela. He would rule as Provisional President until elections could be conducted, which he won. And has ruled ever since. And has reformed Venezuela into a mixed economy, strengthened democracy and is improving the military.

Ugh... Very well, I'll look at it later.

Am I accepted?

Not yet.

It's more of a split, I would think. I control one half, Germany controls the other.

It can't really be split into halves.

'course it can. It's a body of water. I sit on the east, Seg on the west. Both can stop ships from passing through, neither can guarantee a ship passing through safe.

Ferdinand I Wittelsbach became King Consort of Spain in 1906, as he was married to Maria Teresa, next in line to the Spanish Throne when King Alfonso XIII was assassinated.

Maria Teresa died in 1912. This leaves Ferdinand I unmarried and, in this timeline, childless.

Ferdinand I was married again in 1916, but with whom?

Which family provided the King of Spain with a suitable wife?

Haus Hohenzollern, obviously.

It can't really be split into halves.

No, but neither side can really claim to fully control it either, seeing as the other side could easily close it.

Yes.

Under special conventions (civilian and peace), yes.

Sorry, as has been said, it's been integrated into the United States of Greater Austria.
Though there are many other interesting options.

Well then may I reserve Finland?

Economy
History: The modern history of Spain's economy begins with the coronation of King Fernando I, the first Wittelsbach to be crowned King of Spain. Fernando immediately began developing a subsidized state company, Fundidora Española (Spanish Foundry), in order to promote industry and modern transportation systems throughout the peninsula and not only in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. Fundidora Es. was established in 1909, three years after Fernando's coronation. The company, under guidance of the state, set upon creating factories in the peninsula to provide work opportunities to the impoverished rural areas of Spain and attract peasants to urban centers in order to be educated and increase literacy. It was not long before Fundidora developed several branches to control factories in different provinces; an example is Fundidora Asturiana. This first measure was deeply expensive and thus set the country in considerable debt, although Fernando I held that this measure was a long-term investment and it would eventually return what it was given.

Other state investments include the government-sponsored construction of hundreds of kilometers or railroads, mainly from Spain's abundant mines to its industrial centers, where the material could be processed, from industrial centers to other industrial centers, and from industrial centers to urban centers. Madrid boasts one of the most efficient local transport systems in Europe in particular, and along with the neighboring Toledo is an important place for Spanish industry.

In 1932, the King and Parliament issued the Ministry of Tourism Decree, which created a new department exclusively for the purpose of managing tourism in the country. The department immediately eased restrictions for tourists to travel to the glorious Mediterranean beaches of Spain and dispatched propaganda throughout Europe to draw more tourists to places such as Ibiza and the Canaries. It is expected that tourism will soon become one of the dominant sources of wealth in Spain.
Main Exports: Iron ore, Grain (and other assorted foodstuffs)
Main Imports: Machinery, Processed Materials
Other information: Spain has been slow to industrialize, and a large part of the economy is still accounted for by agriculture or otherwise rural activities. Nevertheless, Spain has a plethora of iron ore and coal mines throughout the reaches of the peninsula, and urban centers such as Toledo, Madrid, and Barcelona have a large amount of manufacturing plants and factories that produce refined goods and materials.

Military
Ground Forces: The Spanish Army generally uses the "Spanish" M1916 Rifle, which has seen several modifications over the course of the years but retains its core properties. With the arrival of the German Ferdinand I and several German advisers and staff, the Spanish Army saw a major redevelopment in which the General Staff system, the Chain of Command, and several other aspects of the Spanish Army were considerably updated. The Spanish army is a competent force, and is trained adequately for operations both in Spain and otherwise. There is no standard tank employed by the army, and thus the armored divisions are comprised of a haphazard combination of Soviet, American, and German vehicles, a significant number of them obsolete. The number of active men in the Ejército de Tierra is 80,000, while its reserves are 697,000.
Naval Forces: The modern Spanish Navy is the antithesis to the Armada Invencible of the 16th century, both in size and status. The budget for the navy has decreased over the last twenty years. The force that was once a power to be reckoned with remains effective, but dangerously small. The Spanish Navy fields a single Battleship, the Rey Fernando I Wittelsbach, more commonly known as El Rey, a former German battleship that the Kaiserliche Marine considered obsolete, and was thus purchased by the King's. A second battleship is under construction, although it is presently halted due to economic stress. The Navy has no large Aircraft Carriers. It does have a handful of cruisers, and several dozen destroyers and smaller vessels. 18,000 men serve in the Navy.
Air Forces: The Ejército del Aire, literally 'Army of the Air,' is still an infant force, with little real experience and only modest funding. Having suffered from little patronage in the last few decades, only now has the true value of the air force been seen. As in the ground armor, the air force employs an assorted mixture of imported and obsolete aircraft and thus its efficiency suffers. A local design for an aircraft has been planned by the General Staff; the project is in motion although it is not yet completed. Approximately 7,000 men form a part of the air force, ranging from cadets to pilots.

Other
History:
- 1906: Alfonso XIII and his wife are assassinated by Catalan communist Mateu Morral at their wedding. Maria Teresa is crowned Queen of Spain, while Prince Ferdinand I Wittelsbach is crowned King of Spain.

- 1912: Death of Maria Teresa of Spain. Now, the crown of the Kingdom of Spain rests on the sole head of Ferdinand I Wittelsbach, who by now is known as Don Fernando I de Baviera y Wittelsbach. There are several demonstrations against the German, who is seen by some as a foreigner.

- 1916: Don Fernando marries Cristina, a daughter of the Bourbon dynasty that has recently been deposed from the Spanish throne. The couple will have three children: Cristina, Ferdinand (Fernando), and Juan Jose.

- 1931: A series of minor rebellions in Catalonia and the Basque Country are suppressed by the Guardia Civil. The result of these rebellions, however, unmistakably points to the fact that both provinces wish to break away from Spain in order to establish a Communist State in Catalonia, and a more profitable industry base in the Basque Country, whose mining of iron and coal has made the provinces attached to it rich. Several propaganda programs unsuccessfully attempt to lower the general opinion of Communism in Catalonia.

- 1937: The February Revolt of 1937 strikes home in Spain. In Catalonia, thousands revolt against the Spanish government which seems oppressive and distant. The revolt quickly spreads to poorer areas of Spain, such as Andalusia and Extremadura, where a significant number of men rise against the government calling for comprehensive economic and social improvement projects in their land. The revolt is suppressed by elements of the Guardia Civil and the Spanish Army, which manages to retain control of Madrid.

Any other things you might want to note: A second communist insurrection is on the works in Spain. A large amount of Catalans, always the radicals of the Iberian nation, head this planned rebellion, and are actively recruiting men from other provinces to achieve their goals of creating a communist country in Iberia.

Trotsky is a pretty cool guy, damn near kills his assassins and doesn't afraid of anything.

Or so I've heard. Would be mucho preferable to Stalin. Only problem would be opposition to German dreams of Baltic hegemony.

Which nation are you btw?

He's my Baltic brother.

Trotsky is a pretty cool guy, damn near kills his assassins and doesn't afraid of anything.

Yeah, that's quite a problem. We like our Baltic.

Remove Stalin from premises ew.

Nothing can make us like that man as far as I've worked out.

I agree. Remove Stalin. Remove also other communists. Monarchy STRONK!

Mexico is communist... Therefore, Trostky's chances of survival just tripled! This story line is getting pretty interesting, 17th Congress here we come.

Yeah. Northern Mexico was annexed by US. Southern Mexico is a puppet state. We'd support Trotsky and we'd make sure Stalin staid out of Mexico.

And, eh, I am still working on the reasons. If it happens it'll be peaceful.

Peaceful until the Black Legions of Italy invade and Purge Austria of Communist elements...

*cough*Languageborders*cough*

I'm not sure, wouldn't it be better to pick a foe of your own caliber? Like, Albania?

*laughs*

Fine....we in Rome will hold our own International....of the Far right!

Then Berlin will host a Monarch world fair!
Monarchs and their Heads of Government and discussing their policies and such in a rapidly changing world.

Smilies are evil.

Spanish Soviets aren't anarchist, so I guess the answer is no. At least not CNT-FAI, perhaps CNT is.

Good....Jose Primo de Rivera will see you soon.

Wat? No, he'll be shot in short order.

[Aden Protectorate]

Sounds good.

Yay! Caracas should even build a monument and call it something like "The Monument to the Workers". If you want, we could even help you build it

EDIT: Cool flag btw

Done. The Monument shall be erected by the time of conference.

Yay! Much progress for Venezuela, the rising state in South America!

Oh, of course we'll still have a technological pact.

Going Communist does not need to mean abandoning our allies. I'd like to think we're allies now because of more than just ideology, right?

Besides, it certainly will not be Stalinism. Ew.

History:

After the French defeat in the Great War, the treaty of Berlin forged the Maghreb Confederation from the ashes of French North Africa. The Confederation was to be a self governing protectorate of the German Empire. Using it's immense power and influence derived from the German liberators, the provisional government drafted the Constitution of 1920, establishing the Maghreb as a federal constitutional elective monarchy. The first general election, taking place in January 1921 upon the post-constitution dissolution of the provisional government, put into office a coalition of the Maghrebi Progress Party (MPP) and the Young North Africa Party (YNAP). While the MPP platform focused mainly on improving conditions at home, the YNAP preached the ideology of Pan-North Africanism, or the unification of North Africa under the confederation. Needless to say, the YNAP were, and are, expansionist militarists. When the Ottoman Empire gave way to the new Levantine Republic, liberating Ottoman Libya, Confederation troops quickly asserted order in the chaos of Libyan independence, seizing major Libyan cities and organizing a referendum on Libya's entrance into the Maghreb as a state. Under a deluge of Pan-North Africanist propaganda and doubts about the security of the new Libyan state in a world prowled by imperialist Europeans, the referendum passed with a sizable majority of 77% in favor of joining the Maghreb, and 23% against. Following the incorporation of Libya into the Maghreb, Pan-North Africanists rallied in triumph, broke ties with the MPP, and established a plurality in the Maghrebi parliament during the election of 1924. During the six years of the YNAP majority in parliament, the Maghreb signed several accords with the German Empire and the USGA, essentially slashing prices on Maghrebi crude oil and petroleum, as well as other Maghrebi exports to the rest of Mitteleuropa, in return for aid in building the Maghrebi Army and Navy into formidable fighting forces. The focus on oil exports prompted a boom, buoying the formerly mediocre economy and creating a rich capitalist class of oil barons. Between 1924 and 1930, the Maghreb imported tanks, machine guns, and aircraft in large numbers, in order to outfit the newly trained and expand Army and Navy. By 1930, the popularity of YNAP had declined, mostly due to soaring income inequality as the nation's poor remained behind the roaring oil economy, prompting the creation of the MWP, or Maghrebi Welfare Party. In The the MPP seized control of parliament in a coalition with the MWP, with promises of improvement at home. The new coalition set about forming a welfare state based on that of the German Empire, combating gerrymandering and vote rigging, and cajoling the nations of Europe into providing humanitarian and economic aid for the new nation. This culminating in several large economic aid deals made with the other members of Mitteleuropa. Meanwhile, the YNAP maintained a sizable voter base and enough seats in parliament, that the Maghrebi military remained up to date and ready for the promised war of North African unification. The 1930s saw the birth of the Maghrebi middle class, built on the back of the soaring demand for oil in developed nations. A 1937 survey noted that the GDP of the Maghreb had more than doubled since 1924, stating that "living standards in the Maghreb have increased greatly since the early days of the Confederation."

Ok.

Well, no. But having completely different ideologies might make things somewhat complicated....

Well, so at least there's that.

Now, to those apps I have to check. *sighs in despair at the endless mass of refilling texts*

Reatra, app will be checked once I reach it.

@Svet: Spark communist revolution in Gibraltar and hold a 150% turn-out referendum in favor of annexation by Spain, maybe?

Gibraltar is a Citadel. In case of open revolution there'll be martial law and the citadel opening fire on everybody not inside. It's not as if they are Germans or something
But seriously. That's a strategic point, getting it has been a gamble, and holding it will be critical.
