Eagle, Bear, and Flower: A Three Way Cold War RP(OOC/Reboot)

[Exalted Inquellian State]

Well, yeah. The Saudi's, Iraqi's, and both Persia's are the only people in the middle east who are actually fine with doing buisness with them.

Wait, the Japanese don't mind the Iranians interacting w/ the Levant? I mean, it makes sense if it's just trade/business, but... that's weird.

No, not really. In fact, there are some that consider allying the Levant since they are one of the only 2 countries with nukes, but are stopped by whoever is ruling the,. Why did you ask if they minded?

I know you said Japan gave their "puppets" some independence, but I'm honestly surprised they didn't do a North Korea and isolate everything but only do trade with eachother (like Japan doing trade with Malaysia, Tibet doing trade with Iran, Sikkim doing trade with Nepal and Xinjiang)

And wait, the Levant has nukes? With Einstein being the head-of-state, that makes sense, but I would've thought only the USSR and the NT had 'em. I guess it also makes sense for the Japanese Empire to have them too, because of Kamikaze and whatnot, but that isn't really honorable - killing millions of people w/ a single button-press is as cowardly as it gets (or atleast I think, if this was about Honor and Cowardice)

Well, Iran is an influenced ally, not a puppet. The ruler, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, is very much in favor of independence. Of course, there is a chance Japan might... replace him if he goes to overboard. Japan is mostly fine with trading with other countries, as long as they are part of their sphere or neutral. The Levant is that.

Also, only America has nukes, and 350 of them. No one else besides the Levant has them. The Levant has 300.

All rights reserved. No part of this survey may be reproduced or used for any manner without written permission of the copyright owner.

Pretext

India, the former "crown jewel" of the British Empire. Only a few decades after London claimed victory for itself and its allies in the Great War, the Empire has disintegrated, leaving the spoils to factions across the globe. For the sake of knowledgeable preparation for the establishment of an Indian Technate in the future, the Technical Alliance of the Former Empire has compiled political information on the myriad factions that jockey for power in Delhi. Further information on India's recent history, economy, demographics, and other important information can be found in the Energy Survey of India, available for selection in North America, the Levant, and other areas that find themselves in favorable conditions for technocracy in the year 1949.

The Indian Nationalists - All India Forward Bloc

Once forming the backbone of a Provisional Government of Free India, the All India Forward Bloc has seen its power cut back following the Hyderabad Accords that saw the transformation of British India, the Provisional Government, and the Princely States into the Princely Federation of India. While the Respected Leader, or Netaji, Subhas Chandra Bose, remains beloved by the populace of India, his Bloc has seen a strong dip in popularity for perceived inaction against the Princes and the Japanese delegation. To make matters worse for the AIFB, the Indian National Congress has returned, claiming a sizable portion of moderates.

Ideology: Civic Nationalism, Social Democracy (de jure), Despotic Collaborators (de facto)
Public Goals: Preservation of an Independent India, Disempower the Council of States

The Old Guard - Indian National Congress

Long synonymous with the Indian independence movement, the INC was initially outlawed when the Princely Federation was formed, partially out of Bose's distaste for the moderates and partially out of the Princes' desires to keep the lower castes in check. The Japanese, however, sought to keep either faction from growing powerful enough to kick out the other, so the presence of the Congress party was welcome to the Tokyo government. Led by longtime independence activist Jawaharlal Nehru, the INC seeks to liberalize Indian politics - whether the Princes and the Japanese like it, or otherwise.

Ideology: Social Liberalism, Civic Nationalism
Public Goals: Liberalization of India, Disempower the Council of States

The Royal Remnants - Council of States

Though many of the Princes of India had prospered from British rule, the fall of the Empire brought them into the hands of the Japanese. Holding the leverage of preventing another long, costly war in the subcontinent, the Princes gave their loyalty to Japan in exchange for greatly increased powers in India. The Princes mainly exercise their political power through the Council of States, the seats of which are reserved for India's aristocracy. While certainly not united in purpose nor ideology, none of the Princes wish to risk the commoners diminishing their newfound control over India; with that in mind, the Council is more than happy to work to weaken both the INC and the AIFB.

Ideology: Decentralization, Conservatism
Public Goals: Preservation of the Hyderabad Accords, Disempower the House of the People

The Partners in Crime - Fifteenth Army

As part of the scheme to maintain Japan's control over India, the Princely Federation does not possess an army at the national level; instead, there exists a combination of party paramilitaries, princely militias, and the Japanese Fifteenth Army. Led by General Katamura Shihachi, the Fifteenth Army does not serve any of the political factions and possesses no formal representation in either legislative house. However, protecting the growing economic power of the zaibatsu in India and the lack of a strong opposition to their activities thus far has allowed the Fifteenth Army to remain a powerful faction in Indian politics...one that must be taken into account for most governmental decisions.

Ideology: Despotism
Public Goals: Military Protection of India, Strengthen the Zaibatsus

The Dark Horse - Young India Society

During the war, there was a sizable portion of the AIFB that had ties to the National Socialist regime in Germany. Though ostensibly still loyal to the Netaji and the Indian government, a circle comprised of Hindu ultranationalists and European émigrés known as the Young India Society has formed. Believing that India is the true homeland of a purported "Aryan caste", they are hostile to ethnic & religious minorities in India, and are among those most violently opposed to a Japanese presence in the subcontinent. Though not the largest of India's notable political cliques, they have succeeded in appealing to the Hindu youth in a violent wave of ultranationalism, to the point where the Indian Technocracy Alliance was destroyed by the Society for perceived betrayal of Indian ideals to the American Technocratic Republic.

Ideology: Ultranationalism, National Socialism
Public Goals: Expulsion of Japanese in India, Purge the Minorities

Regarding the Muslim Movements

Islam, as always, has played a role in the subcontinent, with particularly strong concentrations in Bengal and the Afghan border. However, due to the destruction of the Indian Technocracy Alliance as noted above, acquiring knowledge on the political strength of movements such as the All India Muslim League or the zealotic movement in the northwest is near-impossible from abroad. We ask any remaining technocrats in India to please write to our office in Edinburgh, that we might have a more reliable source on the Indian Muslims.

That. Was. AWESOME!!!

But shouldn't this be in the IC thread?

[HypErcApitAl]

What ideology is Southafrica? Are they still Segregationist? (Apartheid)

[Magnolixie]

While it was intended to be an OOC worldbuilding thing, I'd be happy to jump into the IC! I didn't know it existed, my bad (:

No, it's fine.

I guess I can start from any date of the year 1949. If not, I'd be glad to know.
Does the council "selection" occur every 10 years? If not, how often?
I'd use some bio on Harold Loeb as well. He might actually like an authoritarian approach and he can justify it with "ill-preparedness of the electorate minds" which he might try to deal with through an educational effort.
I wonder if Oppenheimer would lead some sort of a faction.

The start date was January 1st, but since 3 people did stuff, 3 days have passed. It's now January 3rd, and something special will happen every in-game Sunday that will count as a turn.
The council selection occurs every five years, on April 1st. It's basically a bunch of tests to determine the position of various scientists. of course, there are faction, led by strongmen, that wish to excel in the tests.
Oppenheimer does lead one faction-the Internationalists. They are in favor of ending the cold war, and are socially conservative and fiscally socialist.

Looks like no one apart from the British had actually cared about county borders. Some sort of a map of Britain with sector borders laid over traditional administrative division would be useful for other players.

[HypErcApitAl]

What ideology is South Africa? (I asked this question earlier but no one answered)

Also, how long will England be occupied? There could've been an independent Cornwall and Isle-of-Mann, but I guess everyone forgets about them.

South Africa is a monarchist country. They host the British Government-in-Exile, and are led by George VI and Jan Smuts. Their goal is to unite the empire as a military and economic alliance of independent nations, united under the crown.

England will be occupied until 1950, though obviously the player can extend that date. Regarding Cornwall and the Isle of Man, there is a possibility that the player could make a free Cornwall. The Isle of Man, however, can only be free by revolt.

What do you mean no one cared about the country borders?

Regarding Britain, you mean like the occupation sectors(under the rule of different commanders) overlaid above historical regions?

Do they still do Apartheid and Segregation? Also, so that means the Isle is controlled by North America?

[Greenwichian Arcadia]

What do you mean no one cared about the country borders?

What I mean is that most of the people outside Britain might be used to the single sovereign country on the island. I thought I had the idea where the Midlands is. Turned out I was way off the mark.

Regarding Britain, you mean like the occupation sectors(under the rule of different commanders) overlaid above historical regions?

Sure! That would help. I'd add some major cities onto the map as well.

They're slightly better than they were OTL. Blacks have voting rights now, and Jan SMuts is starting to question apartheid. Of course, it's never that easy.
