Construction of Concentration camps in border passes
President Mahmoud Shaybani has sanctioned an order July 6th 2082 regarding the construction of concentration camps. The reports on illegal border immigration has escalated to new heights. Iranians trying to escape the country will be charged under conspiracy on Socialism and will be sent to these new concentration camps. Smugglers and cross-border insurgents will face life imprisonment in these camps. The Government requests the Imperium of Man to extradite/ repatriate those who escaped to the territory of The Imperium of Man.

Deputy President Ameer Hazari remarked on this issue , '' It is good to know that cross border immigrations to escape Communist rule will never ever happen . Not even a dog will be able to escape Communist rule from now onwards , if you go against it ; you never know what will happen to you.''

The Concentration camps will be built in five main border passes.
1) The Concentration camp no -1 will be built near the Said border pass in Mary Autonomous Oblast.
2) Camp 2 will be built near Baluchestan Federal region border outpost
3) Camp 3 will be built near Kermanshah Federal Autonomous Republic outpost
4) Camp 4 will be built near Lebap federal Region border pass
5) Camp 5 will be built near South Khorasan Autonomous Republic border pass

History:The Federal Republic of Portugal was founded in 1949 as a result of dissatisfaction with the Portuguese Monarchy. Portugal had been neglecting minority rights for many years , since the 19th century. This prompted several nationalist factions to come up and fight against the Royal Portuguese Government forces , Antonio Joseffe , the current Portuguese president , was a member of one faction that fought for the abolishment of the Monarchy of Portugal. In the year 1910 , the Portuguese Nationalists planned an organised uprising against the Portuguese Monarchy which was in favour of the Nationalists , which paved the way for the abolition of Monarchy and Manuel II , stepped down as King of Portugal. The country faces a bleak future as it's trade relations are not well , with other European nations.
RP Example(s): Prime Minister Alfonse Diego has plans to modernise the city of Braga to accommodate the growing urban population of Portugal. Lisbon has seen a population rise over the past 5 years , and new illegal settlements/slums have started coming up in the Northern parts of the Capital Lisbon. To accommodate the growing urban population , the third largest city of Braga will be planned accordingly and new facilities for new immigrants shall come up in Braga. The response has been overall satisfying for this issue.

Would Finland be considered a militarized society? IRL around 1/5 Finns are either in the military or are reserve personnel which is really high.

In this RP, Germany is their biggest threat and I plan on having Finland focused on a policy similar to the one they took against the Soviets in our own world. Oversized military as a deterrent, political subordination as a way to maintain independence and a form of democracy.

Obviously this would mean buying German weapons, cars, food and other goods, probably deporting all the Jews after WW2 wrapped up, banning leftist political parties while allowing fascist parties, and censorship of media critical to the German government.

Finland is also a EEC member too (not that they have much of a choice)

Well as it currently looks it may seem that we will end up encountering each together somewhere around Perm if we both keep up the slow, and steady pace in the next few months.

However it may prove difficult to give reason for anyone up North to join this commune of yours, people prefer a more refined existence under God, Tsar, and Country.

APPLICATION
NS Name: Beutarch
RP Name: Maritime Special Military District (Приморский Особый военный округ), often referred to as "Primorye," or the "Vladivostok Government"
Flag: Here
Capital: Vladivostok
Territory: The Maritime Special Military District encompasses Primorsky Krai, extending northward up to the Amur river.
Population: 1,272,100 approx.

Official Language(s): Russian (official), Korean, Ukrainian (recognized minority)
Ethnic Breakdown: Russian 90%, Ukrainian/other Slavic 4%, Turkic 2%, Korean 2%, Other (either native Siberian or Chinese/Manchu) 2%
Religious Breakdown: Eastern Orthodox 50%, Irreligious 35%, Other Christian 6%, Buddhist 5%, Slavic Paganism 1%

Type of Government: Authoritarian Democracy
Head of State: Fleet Admiral Ivan Yumashev
Head of Government: Chairman Genrikh Lyushkov
Legislature: Vladivostok Oblast Soviet
Legislative Houses: n/a
Party in Power: Due to a series of haphazard elections and military appointments, the Workers' and Sailors' Union has held a monopoly on power since the end of martial law in '46.
National Issues:

A Ravenous Fleet - Even before Moscow was captured, the Soviet Naval presence in the Pacific emanated from Vladivostok. Keeping a modern fleet fueled and fed was an enormous economic endeavor even for the intact Soviet Union, and now that task has fallen to the comparatively feeble Vladivostok government. In the early days, the Admiralty was so desperate as to engage in coordinated acts of piracy to provide for its sailors, but those practices have largely come to an end. Instead, the reluctant officers struck deals with foreign financiers and business interests, largely American and Japanese. In exchange for protecting international trade in the region from other piratical warlords, foreign investments poured into Primorye. Maintaining this arrangement is crucial to the state's survival.

Softening Collectivism - The introduction of large quantities of foreign money fundamentally reshaped much of Primorye's heavy industry, with many shipyards and factories becoming essentially privatized after decades of state-ownership. Having access to foreign technology and processes, productivity has increased dramatically every year since 1947. Vladivostok itself has grown into a wealthy metropolitan center, the entry point for nearly all Western goods into the post-Soviet states. Despite this, the Admiralty's policy of economic liberalization has been seen by many, rightly, as bending the knee to the Western bourgeoisie. As most of the population still labors within a collectivized, state-operated system, Vladivostok's decision makers face frequent and occasionally violent resistance. It remains to be seen whether or not Vladivostok's burgeoning middle class of shipwrights, dockyard managers and junior officers will be able to weather the storm of Neo-Bolshevik opposition.

The Tetrarchs - Vladivostok has long looked upon Irkutsk and its four leading men with dread. Thought to be consumed with rage and thoughts only of reconquest, it is held that, because a Navy serves little purpose in a ground war with the Nazis, the Neo-Bolsheviks would dismantle the beloved Pacific Fleet and reorganize its sailors into shock-troops to be marched westward. Though uninformed and, to an extent, irrational, such sentiments formed the basis for the forming of an independent military government in Vladivostok during the aftermath of the Battle of Moscow. Now, years since the Soviet collapse, Irkutsk and Vladivostok have grown even more distant and chilly. In the event of armed conflict between the two states, military planners on the side of Vladivostok often speak of a grand blockade which would strangle the Restorationists' economy from the high seas, but it is an open secret that the few marine units attached to the Pacific Fleet would rout before the naval action would produce results.

Public Goals: Encourage economic investment and stability in the post-Soviet far east, defend international trade from errant Russian warlords
Private Goals: Seek a closer and more involved relationship with the United States, or find another benefactor capable of subsidizing the costs of the Pacific Fleet. Remain independent from the Neo-Bolshevik horde.

GDP (nominal): 1.8 Billion USD
Currency: Nominally, the Soviet Ruble is used for day-to-day transactions. However, due to the instability of that currency, the American Dollar is used by most large businesses in Primorye.
Economic System: The majority of the economy remains collectivized under old-Soviet planning, but an increasing fraction is privately-owned.
Major Trade Partners: The US, Japan, China and Korea are large importers, while most goods are exported to other post-Soviet warlords in the Far East.
Alliance(s): n/a

Military Branches: The armed forces of the Vladivostok Government are divided between the Naval Infantry, the Air Defense Force and the Fleet.

Active Duty: 80,000
Reserve Duty: 30,000
Total Manpower: 250,000

Land Forces: The Special Military District is protected on land by a division of Naval Infantry. This formation, as with the Fleet and ADF, is staffed by career soldiers and veterans rather than conscripts. Despite seeing relatively little combat during the Second World War, the bulk of the Infantry's experience is from the chaos during the immediate aftermath of the Soviet collapse. As such, they excel in counter-insurgency and irregular warfare, but have little knowledge of pitched, set-piece battles. On average, a member of the Naval Infantry is equipped more amply than most comparable post-Soviet soldiers. The novel and domestically produced SKS has been declared the Infantry's service weapon, but due to limited availability, many imported weapons have filtered into the ranks. It is not uncommon to see a squad brandishing surplus M1 Rifles or captured Type 100s. Most of the bigger ticket items, however, are inherited from the Red Army. T-38 Amphibious Light Tanks constitute the bulk of the division's armor, for instance, while the artillery brigade is a motley mix of pieces assembled after the landing and subsequent capture of Vladivostok.

      Armored Reconnaissance Battalion

Air Force: An extension of the fleet, Vladivostok's Air Defense Force is appropriately enormous. Up until the collapse, the Fleet's warplanes stood ready to descend southward in the event of Japanese attack. Though that attack never happened, and ever increasing numbers of planes were siphoned to support the defense against Germany, the number of planes fielded by the Fleet never dipped below 1000. Though outdated, the most numerous design of aircraft is the Yak-1, followed by the Pe-2. Delivered during or just before the collapse and unable to be shipped westward, large numbers of American lend-lease items are also present, chiefly A-20 Havocs and P-39 Airacobras. On top of the obvious logistical issues of maintaining such a large force, Vladivostok's air wings are hindered by the fact that they are chiefly equipped for naval combat in a period of time where attack is far more likely to come from the land.

Naval Forces: The pride of the Special Military District, the Soviet Pacific Fleet is integral to the stability and legitimacy of the Vladivostok government. Being the largest employer in the region, and increasingly involved in civil matters, the Fleet is immensely important to Vladivostok, both politically and economically. But, in comparison to other navies of the world of 1951, the Pacific Fleet is aging. Struggling to adapt to a battlefield filled with advances in electronic and carrier warfare without an advanced economy behind it, the Admiralty is keenly aware that their precious ships may be utterly obsolete within the decade. Even still, the Fleet is one of the strongest in the Pacific, and undoubtedly the most powerful fielded by any single post-Soviet state.

Maritime Special Military District Pacific Fleet
    2 Cruisers
    1 Destroyer Leader
    10 Destroyers
    2 Torpedo Boats

    10 Minelayers
    43 Minesweepers
    30 Anti-Submarine Boats
    150 Motor Torpedo Boats

Other Military Information: After the disaster of Beria's NKVD-led massacres, the Vladivostok government used Naval Infantry units to violently dismantle the NKVD's presence within its borders. This, while not only setting the stage for future economic and ideological liberalization, resulted in a power vacuum that was intermittently filled by the military during a period of martial law. Searching for a more permanent solution, the Admiralty sought to create a new secret police force, loyal to Vladivostok instead of the talking heads in Irkutsk, or Moscow. That goal ultimately resulted in the creation of the "Operations Directorate," an ad-hoc military intelligence agency headquartered on Leninskaya Street in downtown Vladivostok. Though remaining superficially similar the numerous previous Soviet agencies that fulfilled the same role, the OD was intentionally kept isolated from the rank and file military. "The Political Commissar," as a rank within the Naval Infantry and aboard the ships of the fleet ceased to exist.

History: Inspired by concerning pace of the fascist advance into Russia's western frontier, a cadre of naval officers in the far east constructed a series of contingency plans in mid-1941. The stated goal of the project was to, "ensure the failure of a Japanese offensive in the event of continued German pressure," though the plans would prove effective during the altogether different reality of 1942. Consuming vast quantities of oil and aviation fuel with each moment spent underway, the contingencies of the Fleet called for the securing of all available supply reserves, in the event that supply lines from Moscow were compromised. As such, in 1942, when the fate of Moscow was still a matter of debate in much of the Union, a regiment of Naval Infantrymen marched through the streets of Vladivostok. By the time Beria had arrived in Irkutsk, the commanding officer of the Fleet, Ivan Yumashev, declared himself Military Governor, at the behest of the local party officials. In short order, Yumashev decreed that the entire province of Primorsky Krai was essential to the well-being of the Fleet, expanding his soldiers' mandate from the city limits of Vladivostok, to an entire federal subject. He would modify the bounds of his Governorship several times thereafter, eventually reaching as far as the Amur river in the north.

Banditry and lawlessness spread in the east far quicker than in other locales, as the region quickly became inundated with refugees and those attempting to flee across the border. Consequently, local apparatchiks and administrators welcomed the order brought about by a heightened military presence. Wildly popular with his troops and ostensibly loyal, Beria allowed the Special Military District to remain the chief political entity in Primorye. In Irkutsk, Soviet logisticians were allowed some breathing room to reorganize the ad-hoc arrangements that had sprung up in the wake of the Battle of Moscow. The Pacific Fleet was to have their share of the gravely diminished resources of the Union brought into proportion with the needs of the state, as dictated by Beria's cronies. Shortly after this news reached quartermasters in Vladivostok, conflicting orders bearing Yumashev's approval arrived. Harsh words were exchanged between Irkutsk and Vladivostok, but no Red Army units headed East to requisition the fuel. Instead, Beria would enforce his will through far closer means.

At the height of the so-called “securocracy”, the NKVD embarked on an ambitious plot to behead the Soviet Navy in the Far East. Prior to the commencement of these plans, Beria ordered that the NKVD rid itself of any loose ends. The most important of those items was the sitting NKVD Chief, Genrikh Lyushkov. Having narrowly avoided persecution during the Great Purge, he was suspected of planning to defect to the Japanese. Officers of the secret police successfully managed to seize his family members, but Lyushkov himself was intercepted by a unit of Naval Infantrymen guarding the border. Despite not being explicitly told of the NKVD plot, he accurately predicted that his death warrant was the prelude to such an operation. The Fleet was placed on alert, and rival NKVD and Naval Infantry units prowled the streets of Vladivostok. Unwilling to report failure to Irkutsk, the commissars pushed their luck. A kill team was sent to Yumashev’s quarters, and they quickly found themselves embroiled in a gun battle with the officer’s retinue of infantrymen. That event would spark fighting throughout the city, resulting in the fiercest combat seen in the Far East between two post-Soviet entities. At one point during the night, a cruiser was called upon to bombard an NKVD safehouse just outside the city’s limits. In the end, several thousand NKVD affiliates were shot or captured, even more fleeing into Beria’s fief.

Cut off from the rest of the Union, the Fleet gradually ate through its reserves of fuel and food. Strict rationing, enforced by martial law, was implemented. This, however, only slowed the onset of starvation and naval impotence. Several captains set out from Vladivostok, "requisitioning" civilian vessels as they passed through the region. Targeting the supply lines of other warlords, this form of thinly veiled piracy gained Yumashev's tacit approval. It would remain an important source of income for the Fleet up until 1945, when Tokyo surrendered and international civilian commerce returned to the Pacific. The Fleet's captains went out of their way to avoid intercepting American shipping, but the pervasiveness of the American economy made this a difficult task. In the spring of 1946, a Japanese hauler with 13 American passengers on board was looted by sailors from Vladivostok. This event was quickly followed by a condemnation of Vladivostok issued jointly by the US Department of State and Department of the Navy. With the very real threat of an American intervention in the northern Pacific, Yumashev suspended all “requisitions quotas.” Desperate for a way to support the small eastern economy in a way less destructive to international relations, keen-eyed Western investors descended upon Vladivostok. Initially offering food subsidies and eventually bidding on whole city blocks of Soviet-era factories, Vladivostok opened its doors to foreign businesses. This has lead to growing prosperity and a strengthening state, but also isolation from other Russian warlords and ideological inconsistency.

Now, the Maritime Special Military District prepares itself to enter the global stage as a respectable successor state to the long-dead Soviet Union.

I am terribly sorry to disappoint you, but your app has a number of problems:

1) Population seems alright, assuming that aside from Portugal you also claim the Angola, Mozambique, and other Portuguese territories in Africa. But you seem to claim only Portugal for some reason, so the app should be corrected to reflect on the fact you have a colonial empire. You should also fix the demographics to reflect on the fact you have colonial subjects in your colonies.

2) Why and how did Portugal become a federation? Or a liberal republic for the matter? What happened to the Estado Novo one party regime? If you want Portugal to be a federal republic, you should come up with some explanation for it and justify it.

3) The history section needs to rewritten. You do not need to write many paragraphs of history: some of the accepted applications have only one short paragraph of history after all. But your history needs to a) be concise, b) mention what happened to your nation in the 1940s. You history mentions that the monarchy was overthrown in 1910, which is of little interest to an RP that takes place in 1952. You do not mention anything about what happened in Portugal in the 1930s and 1940s, which are of interest to the RP. You only mention that the republic was founded in 1949 without explaining how and why.

You need to rewrite your history to mention what happens in 1930s and 1940s. You need to explain how Portugal became a liberal republic. You also need to consult the Indian app, about their capture of Portuguese Goa. If you want a model on how to write your history, look at the Spanish app: it is short, one paragraph long, but it details in a concise manner what happened to Spain in the 1930s and 1940s. That should be your model on how to write your history.

[If you do not know enough about Portuguese history to justify a liberal republic in 1952, you could keep the RL history of the country and RP as the Estado Novo regime. It would be easier and it would also fit with the world we are in]

4) For national issues, trouble at the colonies should be one of them. Maybe there are guerilla groups fighting against Portuguese colonial rule? Maybe there is unrest? Up to you to decide.

You already have truce with other European countries, so this issue should be deleted. Inability to foster trade should also be deleted, unless you are running some sort of protectionist administration.

5) The GDP is meant to be total GDP, not per capita. So that should be corrected to about 2,5 billion (approximately).

6) You need to correct your trade section: Morocco is a Spanish colony, not an independent state.

7) Why would Portugal be an American ally? It should be either neutral (leaning towards the US perhaps, but not outright pro-US) or pro-Axis, considering it borders Francoist Spain and that the UK (Portugal's closest European ally) is appeasing Germany.

eight) Portuguese army should be larger than 10,000 men. In its colonial wars in the 1960s, Portugal fielded about 148,000 men. You do not have to mobilize to that extend, but you army should be larger than 50,000 men.

So, unfortunately, I cannot accept right now the app. Correct those mentioned issues, and I will review it again. :)

No problem. RL always comes first. Hope you are better now. :)

Feel free to take as much time as you need. Will keep you reservation in roster.

At least, from my end, you're the closest. Don't know who is closest to you, in turn.


I think there will be an interesting tension between the Commonwealth's appeal to more syndicalist elements in Vladivostock, and the government's reliance on the US to fuel its fleet, keep its economy afloat, and so on. They probably can't afford to align so closely with Chelyabinsk that they lose the support of Washington. Walking that line will be a fun challenge.

In other news, I am quite busy until Wednesday, but will start work Thursday on an IC post, with an eye to finishing it by the end of Saturday.
For really, I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest he. And therefore truly, Sir, I think it's clear that every man that is to live under a Government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that Government. And I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put himself under.

I was curious, is there some sort of schedule when it comes to determinizing when the events will be issued? Just wondering if it is more a reactive ordeal, or it will happen by a set date by each week.

A combination of both. The standard is weekly Events, but if something very dramatic happens (Italy leaving the EEC, to use an example), then Events are posted sooner.

I was just about to mention this: the Commonwealth's vision of a reunited USSR is probably the closest with Vladivostok, and I could see the Fleet being integrated as some sort of large soldiers-sailors union, but, that will likely have to be relegated to the political back-burner for practical reasons.
Do you think you know me?
