We go by months, look on the front page.

Mexico will come to Moscow on the 20th Feb so when will that be?

[Elepis]

What happened on the IC yesterday?

Nothing, a battle in PR Japan.

Also, the DSE has won in Greece, with USSR support, will UK recognize the new Greek People's Republic?

Note: Unlike E. Germany etc, the GPR is NOT a puppet, it is like Cuba was IRL. It is allied closely the the USSR and we will protect it but it is not a puppet

Cultural Diversity Information
Religion:

For centuries Spain was devoutly Catholic, it was the 2nd home of the Church. However by the 20th century this began to change. As liberalisation spread across Europe, the ideals of Socialism, Anarchism and Secularism took hold. The industrial and rural workers in most of Spain began to reject the Church. When the republic was declared on 1931, workers took to the streets and began looting churches and convents, seeing them as aristocratic, feudal propaganda. This angered the devout aristocracy and was a leading cause of the Nationalist Revolt.

After the nationalists were crushed, the state continued to take away the church's ill gotten gains. Now all religious institutions receive no public funding and are taxed by the state. Many in government, especially the powerful anarchist CNT vow to dissolve the church.
