Foreign Policy: The People's Socialist Republic of Spain has been on good terms and on the side of the USSR since it was clear that other Western European countries wouldn't assist it during the Guerra Civil. While different from the USSR in some ways, it has maintained by its side and has increased relations with its allies and other socialist countries across the globe, especially in Latin America and Europe.
Relations with NATO members are highly strained, especially with its "neighbor" in the West. The PSRS is an ideological and often military enemy of Portugal, and considers the Spanish lands owned by them as "occupied". Relations with other opposing, nationalist or capitalist countries are also quite strained. The army has increased its quality and size due to the numerous threats posed by other nations, either in the mainland or in Africa. This is a reason the PSRS seeks to increase relations with the Eastern Bloc and other socialist countries.
Domestic Policy: The PSRS is split in provinces where each of the groups composing Popular Front(PF) are active and represent their province in the Central Government in Madrid. Other parties, while legal, are almost nonexistent, since the Popular Front is particularly popular across the country, both in the mainland and the African provinces. The economy is state run and necessities are being made available by the State. Private corporations are nonexistent.

Description of Your Nation's Economy:The economy of Spain is collectively run by the State and the various respective representatives of the Popular Front coalition. For example, in Catalonia, the economy is managed by the workers, due to the influence of CNT-FAI, where a significant portion is redistributed among the workers and the people in the firm of labor marks, while another portion goes to the State. In Angola, the People's Revolutionary Movement of Angola is responsible for the well being of the economy and the people. In other areas, groups such as the Communist Party of Spain, the PSOE and the POUM, which is mostly active in Aragon and Catalonia in an alliance with the CNT, are responsible for the economy.
Description of Your Nation's Government:The Central Government is centered in Madrid, where decisions on a national level are made. Each of the districts have a group which acts as their representative in Madrid and for local affairs. All the different groups from across the country form the Popular Front, the largest, by far, party in Spain. The country is run like a socialist country of Europe or Latin America. The Popular Front has the first and last say on decisions. While provinces can follow a distinct example, such as the CNT/FAI-POUM coalition, the criteria of the Popular Front have to be met. The President doesn't have major power and is usually responsible for meetings, either in Spain or abroad for diplomatic, economic or military reasons. The Head of Government is the national representative of the Popular Front on a national level and wields important influence. He is elected from the Popular Front and its members, as the Popular Front has remained in power, uncontested, since 1936.

History of your Nation:
1936:The Guerra Civil breaks out by a reactionary coup by supporters of the monarchy and Falangists. Battles ensue across the country.

I do have a question. Ernest Hemingway is your Head of State? How did that happen since he was there to report more then do something? For prime minister, I would recommend George Orwell since that makes two famous writers that were there during the Spanish Civil war. Juan Negrín could be good as well, as he was the leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and served as finance minister

Yes, since he fought a bit, and since the Republic survived he could remain there. And since the President is but an international representative, someone with fame and multilingual can work.
The thing is George Orwell died in 1949. I considered having him the President before Hemingway.
Juan Negrin,eh? Yes, he did live until 1956...
Yes, I will have him, I think. Thank you! I had forgotten about him.
It's a shame both Azana and Caballero were dead at the time,though...

George Orwell died on January 21st, 1950 and of Tuberculosis which could of course be altered in our timeline. But I assume you're going with Juan Negrin correct?Old Tyrannia wrote:Without wishing to commit myself just yet, would a restored Austro-Hungarian Empire be beyond the realms of possibility?

I got someone already talking with me about a Danubian Federation, so this will have to be placed on hold for that one.

It has 1,000 centurion general use tanks, 1,300 reiters(armoured car domestically produced, similar to the Alvis Sacaren),5,200 Willy's M38 Jeeps, 2,500 "Duce and a half" cargo trucks, 170 M46 Patton heavy tanks and 40 Archer anti-tank guns.The army also has 5 long tom artillery cannons, 28 BL 2.5 inch medium guns and 550 QF 6 pounder guns.The navy consists of 4 frigates, 3 submarines, 3 destroyers and roughly 60 PT boats.The Air Force is very modernized and it took a very active role in WW2, it consists of 30 Avro Yorks and 70 Beechcraft model 18's which serve as transports, 300 De Havilland Vampires and 470 Gloster meteors which serve as fighter aircraft, and 280 Martin Baltimore's which serve as the nations bombers. The Air Force also has 5 S-51 Sikorsky helicopters which it uses for search and rescue and medvac operations.
Military Description: The military is very experienced as many are veterans of World War Two and some of its most senior commanders participated in World War One and the Boer Wars. South African troops participated in many engagements throughout the war, they were the main force that liberated Madagascar from the Vichy forces. It also took active roles in the campaigns in East Africa, the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Europe.The South African army is well equipped and manufactures guns such as the Webley revolver, Bren LMG, Lee Enfield, Sten gun, Reider Automatic Rifle, PIAT, and 2-inch mortars domestically and have foreign suppliers such as the UK and US that supply them with other commonly equipped weapons such as the M1911 and M1 carbine and M2 Browning.
Strengths and Weaknesses: The military is highly experienced and has a decent size and supply base, it lacks a serious navy and has a relatively small air force but it is still the most powerful in Africa. The military is also very experienced at fighting guerrilla style bush warfare. The size of the military is somwhat limited as only Whites, Coloreds, and Asians are the only ones permitted to use and carry weapons.
Law Enforcement: The South African Police are well trained and equipped with most of their members being veterans of WW2. They are equipped with large amounts of riot gear and reiters, domestically produced armoured cars which are used jointly by the police and military. The objective of the police is to protect white citizens and enforce Apartheid throughout the country. They number at about 35,000 officers.
Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign): The South African intelligence service is the South African Bureau of State Security. It serves as its primary intelligence service both domestically and internationally. Its prime duties are to combat socialism abroad and at home and to enforce Apartheid at home. It consists of 11,000 agents who are mostly veterans.
Description of Your Nation's Economy:The South African economy is decently diverse and has the largest economy in Africa and one of the fastest growing in the world. Its main industries are the mining and agriculture sectors as well as significant alcohol, manufacturing, trade, construction, ranching,wool and fishing industries. The discovery and new found usefulness of Uranium has lead to significant growth. South Africa has also profited from the manufacturing industry which has increased dramatically as large amounts of factories were built for the war effort and are now being converted into domestic use. South Africa also profits from trade which has seen growth as commodities such as tools, alcohol, tobacco, and furniture are traded north to new and growing markets in other parts of Africa.
Description of Your Nation's Government: The government of the Union of South Africa is democratically eleceted with the most recent elections taking place in 1948. The government has a high approval rate among whites, asians, and coloreds but is seen as oppressive by most of the black population. The current government is a alliance of the United Party and the National Party. The current president is John Harrington, a South African of English descent and the leader of the United Party and the current Prime Minister is Volker De Jager, an Afrikaner who is the leader of the National Party. The government has begun to enact Apartheid policies and current there are three branches of citizens under Apartheid, the Whites who enjoy all social and political freedoms and have the greatest economic oppurtunity(Asians are classified as Honorary Whites and have equal status with them), Coloreds who are mixed race and live primarily in the Cape. The Coloreds enjoy almost equal rights as Whites and have the ability to vote, hold public office, serve in the army, and seek higher education, however some minor petty Apartheid laws apply to them such as it is forbidden for them to marry outside of their sect and outside of the Cape they have their own hospitals, libraries, schools, and housing districts, however these laws are not rigidly enforced. Blacks are the lowest tier of citizens and compromise both native Blacks and Indians. Apartheid is rigidly enforced on them nationwide and they cannot vote, hold public office, or join the army and they have the worst public facilities and are forced to learn English in their schools as Hindi, Zulu, and Xhosa are not given any staus.
Nation History Timeline:
-1927: The Native Administration Act was never passed and segregation laws continued to be passed and by 1948 Apartheid was fully installed with Blacks having to carry passes at all times, forced to learn English and Afrikaans, unable to vote or hold office, and unable to buy land outside of reserves or live in White districts.
1939-Due to the fact that the Native Administration Act was never passed relations between the Afrikaner and English settlers are much more cordial and after war breaks out in 1939 there is much more support in South Africa for the war than historically and South Africa becomes very militarized.
1946-South West Africa is fully incorporated into South Africa following an election held after the war and the voting age is lowered nationwide to 18.
1947- South Africa passes the Refugee Act allowing White refugees fleeing socialism in war torn Europe citizenship in South Africa.
1948- Due to increased support for the United Party it forms an alliance government with the National Party.
1949-After India gains independence South Africa acts similarly and becomes a full republic within the Commonwealth and ends its recognition of King George as head of state.
1950-South Africa extends the Refugee Act to whites fleeing decolonization in Africa and Asia.

The Coloreds enjoy almost equal rights as Whites and have the ability to vote, hold public office, serve in the army, and seek higher education, however some minor petty Apartheid laws apply to them such as it is forbidden for them to marry outside of their sect and outside of the Cape they have their own hospitals, libraries, schools, and housing districts, however these laws are not rigidly enforced. Blacks are the lowest tier of citizens and compromise both native Blacks and Indians. Apartheid is rigidly enforced on them nationwide and they cannot vote, hold public office, or join the army and they have the worst public facilities and are forced to learn English in their schools as Hindi, Zulu, and Xhosa are not given any staus.
Nation History Timeline:
-1927: The Native Administration Act was never passed and segregation laws continued to be passed and by 1948 Apartheid was fully installed with Blacks having to carry passes at all times, forced to learn English and Afrikaans, unable to vote or hold office, and unable to buy land outside of reserves or live in White districts.
1939-Due to the fact that the Native Administration Act was never passed relations between the Afrikaner and English settlers are much more cordial and after war breaks out in 1939 there is much more support in South Africa for the war than historically and South Africa becomes very militarized.
1946-South West Africa is fully incorporated into South Africa following an election held after the war and the voting age is lowered nationwide to 18.
1947- South Africa passes the Refugee Act allowing White refugees fleeing socialism in war torn Europe citizenship in South Africa.
1948- Due to increased support for the United Party it forms an alliance government with the National Party.
1949-After India gains independence South Africa acts similarly and becomes a full republic within the Commonwealth and ends its recognition of King George as head of state.
1950-South Africa extends the Refugee Act to whites fleeing decolonization in Africa and Asia.
Population of entire nation: 16,300,000(4,075,000, 25%=white, 326,000, 2%= asian, 978,000, 6%=colored, 10,758,000, 66%= black)

Done!
@Sanabel, yes I would be interested in an alliance, I could take out his colonies while you focus in the front back in Spain.
On another note I will try and get an IC post up by tomorrow, I am considering creating an Eastern Nato called the Oriental and African Treaty Alliance or OATA, pretty much a Nato but for capitalist states in Asia and Africa.
