You wouldn't, Iran & NATO would support Turkey. But that's never going to happen as it is impossible to play multiple countries at once, let alone countries that have pretty much nothing in common.

Description of Armed Forces: Organization:

The following service commands are directly subordinate to the General Staff, headed by the Chief of the General Staff, which answers to the civilian command structure under the Minister of Defense and the ROC President:
Republic of China Army (ROCA)
[spoiler]The Land force was first established in 1924. It can be traced back to the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy in Canton by Sun Yat-sen and built as National Revolutionary Army, the military arm of KMT. Whampoa Military Academy was relocated to Fengshan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan after 1949. It was re-established as the Republic of China Military Academy (中華民國陸軍軍官學校), and modeled after the United States Military Academy.

Republic of China Navy (ROCN)

The Navy of the Qing dynasty was first exposed to Western influence. With the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, many former Qing-naval officer agreed with the revolutionary ideal of Xinhai and joined the R.O.C. Navy. However, with warlordism continuing to plague Republic of China (Taiwan) in its earliest history, the development of the navy was somewhat slow. Furthermore, there were internal conflicts during its development. During the 2nd Sino-Japanese war, most of the R.O.C Navy was destroyed by the Imperial Japanese Navy. In 1946 the Republic of China Naval Academy was first established in Shanghai; it relocated to Taiwan in 1949.

Republic of China Marine Corps (ROCMC)

The R.O.C. Marine Corps was formed from the former Navy Sentry Corps in December 1914, it used to be 2 divisions, 66th and 99th divisions, in size, when its doctrine focused on retaking mainland China. Since its transition to a defensive posture, the ROCMC has been downsized from about 38,000 active personnel to only 9,000, the plane starts at 1997. In 2004, the ROCMC redeployed a brigade near the Taipei area to defend against a possible PLA decapitation strike. The ROC Marine Corps' official motto is "永遠忠誠" (Forever Loyalty), modeled after the USMC's "Semper Fidelis".

Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF)

In 1920 Sun Yat-sen established the Aviation Ministry in Canton. But due to the division of the Southern Warlords, it was later dismantled. In 1929, Chiang Kai Shek established the Aviation Class in the R.O.C Military Academy. It was relocated to Hangzhou in 1931. Following the outbreak of the 2nd Sino-Japanese War, the R.O.C Air force was responsible for shooting down many Japanese Air force fighters. After 1949 the R.O.C Air Force Academy was relocated to Taiwan.

Republic of China Military Police (ROCMP)

The R.O.C Military Police was established in 1914 when Sun Yat-sen assumed the provisional presidency. It was established as a police guard and to maintain discipline within the army. In 1932 the nationalist government established the "Command Work of Military Police"(憲兵勤務令) and the Service Procedure for the Military Police (憲兵服務章程), which established the military police system. In 1936, the Military police Academy was founded in Nanjing. The school relocated to Taiwan after 1949.

The Coast Guard Administration was created in 2001 from related police and military units and is administered by the Executive Yuan and may be incorporated as a military branch during times of emergency but for the large part remains in civilian control. The position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Service Forces exists in the Republic of China military. The last known person to hold this position was Muslim Lt. Gen. Ma Ching-chiang.[/spoiler]
Nuclear Program:

The development of nuclear weapons by the ROC has been a contentious issue. The U.S., hoping to avoid escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, has continually opposed arming the ROC with nuclear weapons. Accordingly, the ROC, although not a member of the United Nations, adheres to the principles of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has stated that it does not intend to produce nuclear weapons. Past nuclear research by the ROC makes it a 'threshold' nuclear state. In 1967, a nuclear weapons program began under the auspices of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) at the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology. The ROC was able to acquire nuclear technology from abroad (including a research reactor from Canada and low-grade plutonium from the United States) allegedly for a civilian energy system, but in actuality to develop fuel for nuclear weapons. After the International Atomic Energy Agency found evidence of the ROC's efforts to produce weapons-grade plutonium, Taipei agreed in September 1976 under U.S. pressure to dismantle its nuclear weapons program. Though the nuclear reactor was soon shut down and the plutonium mostly returned to the U.S. A secret program was revealed when Colonel Chang Hsien-yi, deputy director of nuclear research at INER who was secretly working for the CIA, defected to the U.S. in December 1987 and produced a cache of incriminating documents. General Hau Pei-tsun claimed that scientists in Taiwan had already produced a controlled nuclear reaction.[42] Under pressure from the U.S., the program was halted. During the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, ROC President Lee Teng-hui proposed to reactivate the program, but was forced to back down a few days later after drawing intense criticism. With the unbalanced military equation across the Taiwan Strait, Taipei may choose nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the military encirclement by the People's Republic of China.

Brief Description of your Economy:

Taiwan has a developed capitalist economy that ranks as the 19th-largest in the world by purchasing power parity (PPP), ranks as 18th in the world by gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity per capita (person), and 24th in nominal GDP of investment and foreign trade by the Republic of China (ROC) government, commonly referred to as Taiwan. The economy of Taiwan ranks the highest in Asia for 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) for specific strengths.[10] Most large government-owned banks and industrial firms have been privatized. With the technocracy-centered economic planning [11] under martial law until 1987, real growth in GDP has averaged about 8% during the past three decades. Exports have grown even faster and since World War II, have provided the primary impetus for industrialization. Inflation and unemployment are low; the trade surplus is substantial; and foreign reserves are the world's fourth largest. Agriculture contributes 3% to GDP, down from 35% in 1952, and the service sector makes up 73% of the economy. Traditional labor-intensive industries are steadily being moved off-shore and replaced with more capital- and technology-intensive industries. Economy of Taiwan is an indispensable partner in the Global Value Chains of Electronics Industry.[12] Electronic components and personal computer are two areas of international strength of Taiwan's Information Technology industry.[13] Institute for Information Industry [14][15] with its international recognitions [16] is responsible for the development of IT industry and ICT industry [17] in Taiwan. Industrial Technology Research Institute [18] with its global partners [19] is the advanced research center for applied technology for the economy of Taiwan. Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics [20] and Ministry of Economic Affairs [21] release major economic indicators of the economy of Taiwan. Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research provides economic forecast at the forefront for the economy of Taiwan [22] and authoritatively researches on the bilateral economic relations with ASEAN by The Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center (TASC).[23][24] Taiwan Stock Exchange is the host to the listed companies of local industries in Taiwan with weighted financial exposures to the FTSE Taiwan Index and MSCI Taiwan Index. International Trade is officially assisted by Taiwan External Trade Development Council.[25] Taiwanese investors and businesses have become major investors in mainland China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Because of the conservative and stable financial policy [26] by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the entrepreneurial strengths,[27] Taiwan suffered little from the financial crisis of 1997-1999 compared to many economies in the region. Other two major banks in Taiwan are Bank of Taiwan and Mega International Commercial Bank. Unlike the neighboring Japan and South Korea, small and medium-sized businesses make up a significant proportion of the businesses in Taiwan. Taiwan is characterized as one of the Newly industrialized economy in the wake of the Ten Major Construction Projects since 1970's. Since 1990's, the economy of Taiwan has adopted economic liberalization with the successive regulatory reforms.[28] London Metal Exchange, the largest metal stock exchange in the world, approved Kaohsiung, Taiwan as a good delivery point for primary aluminium, aluminium alloy, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc and as the LME’s ninth location in Asia on 17 June 2013, for future contracts on metals and industrial production of the global integration of the economy of Taiwan.[29] The economy of Taiwan has the world's highest modern convenience store concentration density.[30] The Indirect tax system of the economy of Taiwan comprises Gross Business Receipts Tax (GBRT) (Gross receipts tax) and Value-added tax.[31] The economy of Chinese Taipei is ranked 15th overall in the Global Top 20 Top Destination Cities by International Overnight Visitors (2014) by the MasterCard 2014 Global Destination Cities Index.[32] Taiwan is a member of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). Taiwan is also an observer [33] at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) under the name of Chinese Taipei.[34] Taiwan is a member of International Chamber of Commerce as Chinese Taipei.[35] The economy of Taiwan signed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement with the economy of People's Republic of China on June 29, 2010. The economy of Taiwan also signed free trade pact with the economy of Singapore and the economy of New Zealand. [36][37] Taiwan is seeking to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership no later than 2020 if economic requirements are met.[38][39][40] The economy of Taiwan also applied for the membership in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2015. [41] Taiwan's top five trade partners in 2010 are China, Japan, USA, the European Union and Hong Kong.[42][43] The economy of Taiwan comparing with other major economies in the region, is "at a crossroad",[44] facing "slowdown in response to world economy fluctuations" [45] in addition to de-internationalization, low-paid salary to employees and uncertain outlook for personal promotion of staffs, which results to human resource talents seeking career opportunities elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, and businesses in Taiwan suffer most from being the size of small and medium enterprises only with weaker-than-expected revenue of its hectic business operation for any consideration of further expansion, and overall impedes any attempt of economic transformation of the economy of Taiwan from the Taiwan government.[46] The World Trade Organization has also reviewed Chinese Taipei's economic outlook in 2010.[47] The international industrial forecast of semiconductor manufacturing, which is the flagship industry of the economy of Taiwan, that possesses immense competitions ahead with the American counterparts.[48][49]

RP Sample: From "Ashes of an Empire III":

New Alexandria, Queendom of Alexandria:
As the Queen Cleopatra Selene III walked through her gardens, she looked out over her city. The city was ancient, founded thousands of years ago. Around a thousand years ago, it had suffered a great tragedy, most of the city sinking into the sea. But it had rebounded, it had been rebuilt, and now it was among the largest cities in the known world, the center of culture and the capital of one of Africa's largest economies. Truly an accomplishment on the part of her ancestors. As for herself, she was named after one of the queens of Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra Selene II, the daughter of the ever so famous Cleopatra. And now, in a twist of fate, Africans began to colonize other continents. Speaking of which: "My Queen! The colonists have sighted land in what we believe to be North America! An island known by the ancients as 'Puerto Rico'. Shall we establish a colony, or continue to Cuba?". The Queen shook her head, and said "No. Cuba must be our goal. But we are close. This is good news. You are dismissed, enjoy a cup of wine 'on the house' as they say". The messenger bowed and hurried off. The Queen then turned to other matters, meeting with her High General, leader of the Armed Forces. Together with the Grand Admiral, the three were planning a landing and invasion of several coastal provinces across the Gulf of Libya. Soon, the preparations would be complete, and the expansion of Alexandria would commence. So far, the plan was to take only coastal provinces, so that the other powers of the world would not see Alexandria as a threat.
