Country Name: German Democratic Republic
Motto: Wo ein Genosse ist, da ist die Partei (“Where there is a comrade, there is the party”)
Anthem: On the Road!
Fictional or Real: Mostly Real (slightly tweaked timeline, regalia, nomenclature, etc.)
Head of State: President Wilhelm Pieck, Chairman of the Socialist Unity Party
Government Type: Federal, Marxist-Leninist, One-Party Socialist Republic
Capital: East Berlin
GDP: $49 billion
Population: 18 million
Location: East Germany
Faction: Soviet Satellite State, Warsaw Pact, Eastern Bloc

History:
In 1945, after the end of World War II, antifascist and democratic political parties were legalized under the Soviet military administration of Germany. However, the "National Front" coalition of the Christian Democratic Union, Liberal Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party, and Communist Party of Germany were effectively institutional parties under the one-party state controlled by the pro-soviet Socialist Unity Party, “SED”, a merger of the social democrats and communists. The SED created the German People's Congress, “Volkskongress” in 1946, and the Constitution of the German Democratic Republic was ratified in 1948 as a federal, socialist republic, with Wilhelm Pieck elected as its first president.

Economy:
Despite the fallout from the partition of Germany, and on top of paying reparations to the Soviet Union, East Germany has conducted a largely successful economic reconstruction campaign under Soviet guidance and nationalized 60 percent of the economy, seizing industries formerly controlled by Nazi Party members and organizing them into “people’s enterprises”, “Volksbetriebe”. The remaining 40 percent of the economy is left to private enterprises and civil society. By the end of 1948, the Soviet Union reported that East Germany had returned to near pre-war levels of industrial productivity, with a budget surplus of $1 billion GDR marks.

Priorities:
☭ Maintaining the blockade of West Berlin
☭ Developing the hydrogen bomb
☭ Launching rockets into space
☭ Stocking grocery shelves
☭ Supporting Soviet hegemony

Principles and Aims of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany

Germany was turned into a field of ruins.

Twelve years of fascist dictatorship, six years of Hitlerian war, have flung the German people into the most dreadful economic, political, and moral catastrophe of their history.

Hitlerian fascism was the instrument of domination used by the wildest reactionary and imperialist elements of finance-capital, by the lords of the armaments combines, and by the large banks and the owners of large estates.

Fascism attained power by splitting the working class. It destroyed all democratic rights and liberties by the cruelest terror and transformed Germany into a military prison.

This cleared the way for an unimpeded imperialist war policy. German imperialism had no compunction about sacrificing the lives and means of existence of millions of workers, farmers, tradesmen, intellectuals, and above all, youth, to its claims of world hegemony; it risked the existence and future of the nation.

How can a way be found out of this catastrophe?

Militarism and imperialist policies of force and war have twice plunged Germany into the greatest national disaster.

To safeguard peace, to reconstruct the German economy, and to preserve the unity of Germany, it is necessary to destroy the remnants of Hitlerite fascism, and to liquidate militarism and imperialism.

Never again must reaction be allowed to rule.

Never again must reaction be allowed to rule! The unity of the workers' movement and a bloc of all anti-fascist democratic parties is the most important prerequisite for this.

Of all strata of the German people, working men and women have endured the greatest suffering, have borne the heaviest burdens. They constitute the vast majority of the people. On their shoulders first and foremost the burden of reconstruction and of restitution rests.

Therefore the working people must decide the fate of the new democratic Germany.

The working class will unite all democratic and progressive groups of the people. It is the most consistent democratic force and the most resolute fighter against imperialism. It is the force which will surmount our national disaster. The working class alone has a great historical aim: socialism.

The future therefore belongs to it, together with all working men and women. The bitter experience of the past has taught us that only the working class can take the lead in building the new, free, and indivisible German republic—and only then can it achieve the reform of all political, economic, cultural, and intellectual relationships and the building of socialism, if it overcomes the split in its own ranks, if it creates the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and gathers the entire working population around it.

Homeland, do not fear the enemy,
We will always stand by you!
We fought halfway around the world,
If we must, we will again!

Country Name: The Hellenistic Kingdom
Fictional or Real: Fictional
Head of State: Constantine Apostolotis, King of the Hellenes
Government Type: Traditionalist Theocracy
Capital: Athens
GDP: $15,000,000
Population: 8,000,000
Location: Greece
History: During the chaos of the Greek Civil War in which the extremely polarized population of Greece was torn between the Greek government (supported by the United Kingdom and the United States) and the Communist Party of Greece (supported by Yugoslavia, Albania, and Bulgaria) a new faction began to emerge. A former monk and university professor, Constantine Apostolotis, claimed to have developed a new political theory, a supposed "superideology" to united the disparate forces of radical Greek politics around common goals and common enemies. Claiming a right to the throne based on a bloodline of heritage leading back to the ancient Byzantine Emperors, and spreading a philosophy influenced by Traditionalist metaphysics, Greek Orthodox theology, and Martin Heidegger's ontology and politics, Constantine's political group began gaining traction. Fighting in every arena -- traditional warfare, assassinations, gang brawls in the streets, debates in academies, books and pamphlets spread by hand, underground radio broadcasts and more, the rising Hellenic Revivalists eventually eliminated, overcame, or consumed the competition and united all of Greece in a new society, aimed to the future. Constantine was named King of the Hellenes, and began making real his vision of a reborn Byzantine Empire, centered in Greece, the cradle of Western civilization itself.

Nice. I can make my first post today. I'm excited to flesh out this Hellenic Kingdom idea.

Well, he did answer, but only a while ago to thank me about my telegram.

And you can decide when the rebels you aided rise up, just don't do it when he's not around.

Now that we have more RP-ers, this will be interesting.

[Tolyakovo]

are applications still open?

[Tranzoria]

are applications still open?

Yah, so hit us with your nation! I'll tell you if someone already took the location of it.

Speaking of which, a map update may be due soon. Especially with all these new nations.

Would it be fine if this country has (historical) connections with Diarcesia? Aside from that, the latter will have no presence.

If yes, here's my app.

Country Name: Hongma
Fictional or Real: Fictional
Head of State: XUE Jin
Government Type: Self-styled "Ancient and Enlightened State of Territories"
Capital: Dili
GDP: $2.82 billion
Population: 470000
Location: East Timor
History: The island of Neanatolia (Timor OTL) was first found by Diarcesians (Latinized Greeks) in the mid-15^th century, the eastern half already home to a community of Chinese and Malays. By the 16^th century, it had become a major Sino-Greco-Roman trading hub and artisanal center, based largely on the manufactured goods it could buy with gold or silver. The territory was once part of the Monarchy Diarcesian. However, in the late 16^th century, Hongma and Diarcesia voluntarily severed ties with each other, something almost unheard of elsewhere.

Despite heavy resistance, Hongma officially became a Portuguese colony in 1702, and would remain to be so until the 1942 Japanese occupation. Portugal did not seek to reclaim it after the end of the war, when Hongma declared its independence. Recently, it saw a wave of Chinese immigrants in the wake of Mao's takeover of mainland China.
Faction: Non-aligned. There is tension between Lusophiles, Sinophiles (both pro and anti-PRC), Hellenophiles (who look up to both the Hellenistic Kingdom and the "Diarcesians of legend"), and Hongman nationalists (sympathetic with Nusantara).

Speaking of which, I have a new system to track the time. Starting now, every real-life day is a month. That way, time goes faster and Stalin dies more quickly!

Oh no. And that means de Gaulle comes quicker to power. And wouldn't it easier to make every 48 hours a new month in case a month is very exciting in action terms, and to allow people to respond to the players involved?

And it it's August, the Soviet's have a gift for the globe on the way.
