2021: A New Decade (OOC:Open)

[Monsone]

A question I am thinking for this rp I do a bit of a weird monarchist returning to brazil arch so should I app as the republic or the empire?

Unfortunately I do not think there is the public backing in Brazil for a return of the monarchy. A military dictatorship perhaps since that is how Bolsonaro came to power, but definitely not for a monarchy. Even a coup to install a monarch would fail epically as the public would depose the monarch. For a Brazil with a royal family and monarch, you would need a PoD in the 1800s.

At last, I am gonna make my first post in the IC. Monsone, does Russia intervene in Syria in this timeline?

Yes, yes it does. Though less so for Assad and more so to defeat ISIS and then replace Assad with a Russian puppet.

So Assad is not president of Syria in 2021?

[Monsone]

So Assad is not president of Syria in 2021?

I think he would be, but not for much longer. His power would be derived from Russia still and unlike Putin, Navalny will likely have Assad either resign or allow free and fair elections and then respect the result unless he wants to plunge Syria into civil war again, only this time he would lack Russian backing.

Ok, thx for the info. I needed it for my IC post.

All looks good aside from your carriers. Are you including the three amphibious assault ships France has that are used like aircraft carriers but without the fighter aircraft? Just looking for some clarification and maybe put the AAS somewhere else as another line lol.

Yes but France will have a carrier being built that is based off of the Nimitz Class super carrier the United States but due to expense,only 2 will built with the first going into service in 2023 and the second in 2027.

[Mathuvan Union]

Was my application accepted? I changed it to spain and someone who applied after me has already been accepted.

Hmm, I might see if I get France to help Turkey build a class of nuclear submarines...

I'm would be willing to help if my app is approved. Its time for France to become a major world power like it was during and before the Napoleonic Era.

Let's hope it is, though I'm not sure if Romextly took France's place.

Well tbh since the corruption charges of the 2010's public opinion for return of the monarchy has increased massively there are now public groups in the country who are actively working on bringing back a monarch. In my proposed timeline all that will change is there is more support for the monarchy through a political party that supports a restoration similar to UKIP does with Brexit before the EU referendum and my rp starts a month before a referendum on the issues.

[Greater Liverpool]

While I do want to explain more about the my idea, there is clear support in our timeline for at least a referendum on the monarchy.

Well we already allies because of NATO but if you want to improve relations with France,go ahead.

[The Vaktovian Empire]

I do!

Well we already allies because of NATO but if you want to improve relations with France,go ahead.

Just make sure you clarify how you only currently have one carrier in your actual application, and detail your plans for the expanding with the Nimitz like carriers you detailed you have plans to build. Then resubmit your app.

Thank you

Well if my app was accepted, we would already be good friends because of NATO and a seperate alliance.

History Changes:

3rd of May, 2016. The divergence. Artuss Kaimiņš, an actor and an anti-corruption podcast host, founds the populist party KPV-LV and subsequently gives chairmanship to Aldis Gobzems, a lawyer that represented the victims of Zolitūde tragedy. A course that changes both the outcome of the 2018 Parliamentary Election and the very makeup of the KPV-LV, without outside financing and an even more drastic populist campaign message the party split of 2019 doesn't occur. With a more nuanced campaign and appeal to the Russian minority, broad support from the diaspora and a politically motivated KNAB investigation against Artuss, the party carries 48 seats in an upset victory. After a month of party negotiation and withdrawn agreements, the hesitant conservative JKP agreed to form a coalition government. In the 2019 Presidential election, Aigars Bitāns is nominated and voted in.

In January 2020, following dissatisfaction with right-wing populism and heated parliamentary debates, a peaceful anti-government protest turned into the second Riga riots after undisclosed incident. After lasting three hours it dissipated, forever changing national political discourse - a foreboding sign for the National Guardsmen who look onto those clattered streets.

The course of the Republic remains undetermined.
