Chewion's app has Reagan elected early due to the Oil Crisis

If I remember correctly, Reagan was Democrat at this time

No he switched in the early 60’s. In 63 he was helping campaign for Goldwater and was elected governor of California and sworn in in 67 as a Republican. He switched back in 1962 but even before then was turning conservative.

Something something Democrats and Republicans are basically the same.

Well remember the last two Arab-Israeli wars? That went swimmingly, hey?
But also there's no point as long as the Israelis also respect the rights of Palestinians inside their borders. Besides, there's bigger fish to fry and we'd like to not make unnecessary enemies

EDIT: Also IC post is up!

When the next map arrives, I want Sweden to be colored in orange.

Also, Gavdos is not visible enough on the current map.

Is anyone gonna respond to my telegram? Monsone what would be the likeliness of the NPCs joining?

Can I ask the OP and the soviets players for their input on a potential Balkan Socialist federation? I have been reading up on it and it sounds interesting. Excluding Greece of course from the federation.

You guys need to start writing in paragraphs, its in the rules. Three sentences just won't do.

The point of divergence is 1950. Unless Tito (or whoever is leading this nation) wants war with the Eastern Bloc and later the Warsaw Pact, such a nation will not be able to exist. Albania was already paranoid of everyone and everything by 1950 and Romania was having it's own troubles at the same time. Greece has already been taken by a player, and I don't think Bulgaria would willingly join either.

The only way to form such a nation is by war. That is going to to not end well. Furthermore, I should note the USSR remained Stalinist in this timeline, so a very pro-Western but non-aliged Yugoslavia is possible.

I must warn you that Libya is a very important source of oil for Europe. Invading it will likely lead to an intervention by countries like France, Italy, and maybe even the Imperial Federation. Libya is a critical oil source, and the UAR taking is is going to go over well. The same goes for Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. Realistically the IF will come to their aid as might other countries.

I highly doubt the UAR would survive a joint Anglo-French intervention. Or if NATO and the west feel threatened enough, possibly even a NATO intervention.

Nasser's entire swing was driving the Zionists back into the sea. Whether or not wars were lost on the way is irrelevant. I would expect a massive popular uproar if a Pan-Arab icon like Nasser suddenly decides to shake hands with Zionists.

It's in the rules. Any violation of the rules counts against you. After three violations you will be removed from the RP for being a repeat offender.
