A Victory in the East (Alternate History RP/OOC) Open

[Imperialisium]

I'm back

Welcome, back.

[Deblar]

Alright, so what is the possibility of the nations I have in mind (Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago) actually wanting to join the economic union I have planned? I assume that Cuba has good relations with all of these countries, so would that make it any more likely?

It’s def on the likely side since there isn’t really a draw back to this.

So the President has essentially lost what was once their closest ally because of her actions.

What the UK is doing is committing a major diplomatic incident that can severely damage their economy. America in a civil war is still far stronger than Britwin, militarily and economically

Thats sort of a topsy turvy topic with many variables. Most of the military apparatus is based in the secessionist states. Most American soldiers across all branches herald from the Secessionist states (which means entire units possibly just switching to secessionists could happen). Depending how the situation unfolds and the action of the Federal government in accelerating or trying to keep together the Federal forces will largely determine the initial situation. Economically once its full blown civil war the US economy will begin contracting hard as its cities, industries, and resource extraction infrastructure is fought over.

Actually by trying to get the UK kicked out of NATO started all this. The President must know that the British Government is right leaning plus Boris isn't gonna allow foreign troops to arrest British citizens as we have our own police and military to handle stuff like that. If someone being chased by ODP troopers enters British territory, they would have to stop at the border and notify British authorities.

[Antimersia]

Hey, if it is alright with OP, I would like to request that I may rescind my withdrawal from the RP.

Sure.

many thanks

dear god, it's finally happened

rip, America

[American Pere Housh]

dear god, it's finally happened

rip, America

They better be prepared because I will enter this war plus all it takes to put a carrier out of business is to knock out the flight deck and boom the carrier is useless.

[Imperialisium]

Balkanized America. Oh boy.

[Speyland]

Is Bhutan open?

[Imperialisium]

Is Bhutan open?

yes

[Antimersia]

Balkanized America. Oh boy.

I really hope you are ready for the response you will get if you proceed to attack a civilian, transport vessel. America still has control over most of its navy.

[Monsone]

Hmm. I need to write a post about the events in the US because they do implicate Argentina, but it would be nice to have an OAS response regarding the possibility of a coalition to stabilize the US (since most countries in the Americas count the US as their largest trade partner, and are generally reliant on the US to some extent or another).

That is why I haven't attacked yet. Two of your major sub base in Charleston and Bangor, Washington are not under your control plus what is to stop mutinies aboard your ships. With Texas gone, their goes your oil refineries plus the largest natural gas pocket in the United States sit right beneath Mobile Bay.

[Antimersia]

You're also assuming that secessionist would want british help. And even if texas declared themselve independant, there are still troops in austin enforcing marshal law. much is lost, but not 100%. and sure mutinies or defectors in the navy are inevitable. but GA only talked about army defectors. Navy is still up for grabs. further, these splinters were only just declared. it will take time to coordinate the control of those ports. Time that can just as easily be used to shove them out to sea and move the fleet to washington dc

My app for India should be done sometime today.

My app for India should be done sometime today.

Yay

Just a WiP app for now, will hopefully finish it up tomorrow after work!

Breakdown of ground forces

Indian ground forces are traditionally split into two intertwined organizations, the Imperial Indian Army and the Indian Army.

The Imperial Indian Army number roughly 250,000, and are a collection of elite units of the Indian ground forces. Trained to high standards and armed with the best modern equipment, the Imperial Army are under the direct command of the Imperial Majesty.

The regular Indian Army is far larger but also far more varied in terms of training and equipment, though most units are equipped with mid-to-late Cold War gear of both US and Russian make. While all army formations need to meet basic requirements for training, formations are graded on ability and assigned accordingly, with the better units being posted on the borders.

Imperial Indian Army: Elite, fully mechanized army formation under the command of the Imperial Majesty
250,000 troops

Indian Army, broken into corps of Holding, Strike, and Mixed Corps
Three million troops

The Indian army operates its own fleet of helicopters, numbering roughly 600, with primarily a mix of attack and transport helicopters, as well as scout helicopters.

Breakdown of naval naval forces
The Imperial Indian Navy is a well rounded, modern force, and one of the shining jewels in the Empresses crown, owing to its calls back to the legacy of the Maratha Empire.

1 Super carrier, Nimitz class
1 Fleet carrier,
1 Battle-cruiser, Kirov class
2 Cruisers
12 Destroyers
30 Frigates
47 corvettes
24 mine clearing vessels

2 Amphibious assault ships
2 LST
9 Medium Landing Ships

13 conventional attack submarines
2 Nuclear attack submarines
3 ballistic submarines

The Indian Navy maintains a single Marine Brigade, roughly 7,000 strong, including 2,000 marine infantry in two battalions. The Imperial Marine Brigade includes aviation elements, including VTOL jets and helicopters.

The Imperial Indian Navy operates roughly 350 aircraft, both from the carriers and land installations.

Breakdown of air forces

The Indian Air force maintains roughly 2,000 aircraft of Russian and US design

Major foreign military suppliers if applicable Russia and the US

Extra Armed Forces details
The Assam Rifles are a paramilitary force nominally under the command of the Ministry of Home Affairs, seconded to the Indian Army as needed.. They number roughly 70,000 active members, focused mostly on assisting in internal matters, but able to undertake active war-time service if needed.

The Special Frontier Force is a para-military special operations force, numbering roughly 10,000 troops. It operates under the command of Imperial Intelligence.

Ongoing major and minor domestic Issues
Uneven economic growth: Even though Empress Anaya undertook a vast infrastructure development program during her reign, economic growth is not an even thing. There are clear divides between richer and poorer states, which continue to worsen.

The past brought into the future: The call-backs to the age of the Maratha Empire and subsequent formation of the Imperial Confederation has re-solidified some of the caste system and conservative thought, as well as bringing in old and new nobility, leading to uneven prosperity among the population, leading to a slowly but steadily worsening GINI.

Political Breakdown
Her Majesty's Imperial Party

History During the hectic time of early Independence from British rule, there were many voices trying to pull India in many ways. One such voice, which would swiftly rise in prominence were the ones calling to India's past, to the Maratha Empire. They argued that India should return to the days before foreign domination, rather then following in the ideological foot-steps of their now former overlords.

With positive press and propaganda, this faction swiftly achieved nation wide support, and with the coronation Shiva Bhonsle I the Imperial Confederation of India was born. Emepror Shiva was a much beloved ruler, fair but stern, and forward looking, jump starting India's development and setting about creating the modern Indian nation. His reign would last fifteen years, dying in 1970 and leaving the throne to his daughter, Empress AnayaBhonsle I.

Empress Anaya, much like her father, was a stern woman, and was intent on progressing India as well, but she was more brutal in her approach. Using the vast population of her nation, Anaya commenced a series of massive public works. By the end of the 70s her works had greatly improved India's infrastructure, built great feats, and expanded the economic potential of the nation, but at the cost of tens of millions of lives. Even with this tragic loss of life, she retained a mostly popular image in India until her death in 2018, when her granddaughter would be favored for the Imperial crown.

Empress Amara Bhonsle I is a young ruler, aged only twenty-five years old. She is well educated and ambitious, and has quickly established herself as the most popular Indian monarch to date.
