Union for Common Interests [SIGN-UPS, OOC/MT/OPEN]

[Laeuwen]

Soooo... who is in for launching airstrikes on the CLF?

This will be meh.

[Zhouran]

This promotional poster pretty much sums up our function:

(Image)

The good thing about this poster is that it doesn't have soldiers from a specific nation, rather it's just warships, subs and planes in general.

Also, it doesn't have that heroic-realist propaganda feel.

Isn't France the only nation with a steam-catapult launch system besides the US?

It's not meant to glorify any specific nation/ideology/foreign policy in general, rather, it just outlines the several things that are favored universally by all kinds of politics in general: Progress, development and propagation of national power

Pretty much it's about mutual interests in general

Also:

Historically, certain key players in the bayan's economy have been fully or partly Zhouranese in origin or in ethnicity. The Zhouranese minority in the bayan, though being loyal citizens strongly have anti Natpro sentiments due to their role in Sunogabi.

Lol, didn't even know the Kangyuli Zhouranese were the new Tsinoys of the bayan

I've decided to keep certain parts of our past such as the people's republic of Zhouran to be part of our canon. But not the specific events like Yuehan Yi and Tao Laohung. Just the nature of bayan-Zhouran relationship.

And yes, after the PRZ was established, lots of Zhouranese fled to neighboring countries like Japan and ASEAN.

[Zhouran]

And yes, after the PRZ was established, lots of Zhouranese fled to neighboring countries like Japan and ASEAN.

Zhouran did have a civil war after WW2. However, the people that would of fled the nation would have been those who had ties with the stratocratic monarchy.

But even before the civil war, Zhouran did have people migrating to other nations mainly for business reasons. When the Empire of Zhouran was created in 1860, the entire nation was industrialized and westernized. Entrepreneurs popped up and began doing business not just in Zhouran but around the world. Plus, since Zhouran (along with Japan) were the only nations in East Asia to fully westernize without being colonized, this also led to that colonialist attitude carried from the Westerners.

But yeah, after ww2 ended and Zhouran fell into a civil war, those who migrated to another nation would of not have the chance to return to their home nation until around the 60's and 70's.

[Bahtar]

Alright. I think I'll go with the Arjun II.

Arjun Mk-II is a pretty good tank actually. Indian media stated that the tank outclassed the T-90S in field trials.

Not only that, but it's a pretty big beast. Although, this could be an issue when transporting it, especially to foreign land.

Alright. Bahtar is very super early PMT, the Russians might have developed something similar to the Ilyushin Pak TA already.

[Whiteshore]

Asigna, you should mention Acadia in the factbook as being a "major UCI power".

[Zhouran]

Alright. Bahtar is very super early PMT, the Russians might have developed something similar to the Ilyushin Pak TA already.

PAK TA? Never heard of that, only PAK FA and PAK DA.

Also, here's the history of modern Zhouran that leads up to the establishment of the PRZ.

On September 12, 1543, the Portuguese arrived in the Zhouranese archipelago, which led to the start of trade and cultural interaction between the Europeans and the Yaxun Dynasty. The Portuguese were quite fond of Zhouran's immense richness in precious metals, but also due to the huge abundance of resources. Zhouran was also noted for being populated and urbanized. Schools in Zhouran were also larger than Universities in the West. At the time, the Europeans became quite fascinated with Zhouran, some even writing that the Zhouranese "excel not only all the people in the Pacific, they are in the same level as the Europeans."

On July 17, 1860, the Empire of Zhouran replaces Yaxun Dynasty. Rapid industrialization and modernization led to its emergence as a world power. This was the end of the Dynastic-Era and the start of the Imperial-Era. The rapid industrialization and modernization both allowed and required a massive increase in production and infrastructure. Zhouran built industries such as shipyards, iron smelters, and spinning mills, which were then sold to well-connected entrepreneurs. Consequently, domestic companies became consumers of Western technology and applied it to produce items that would be sold cheaply in the international market. With this, industrial zones grew enormously, and there was massive migration to industrializing centers from the countryside.

Fundamental changes affected the social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations of Zhouran. The Zhouranese Industrial Revolution began on August 8, 1860 as the Zhouranese decided to catch up with the West. The government built railroads, improved roads, and inaugurated a land reform program to prepare the country for further development. It inaugurated a new Western-based education system for all young people, sent students to the United States and Europe, and hired Westerners to teach modern science, mathematics, technology, and foreign languages in Zhouran.

The Empire of Zhouran continued to modernize the nation through government-sponsored telegraph cable links to all major Zhouranese cities and the Asian mainland and construction of railroads, shipyards, munitions factories, mines, textile manufacturing facilities, factories, and experimental agriculture stations. Greatly concerned about national security, the leaders made significant efforts at military modernization, which included learning foreign military systems, hiring foreign military advisors, and creating the modern Zhouranese military system.

On August 7, 1932, Prince Wang Su, who was also an officer in the Zhouranese Imperial Army, killed his own father, Wang Li, by poisoning his drink. After 3 hours, Wang Su, backed by several military hardliners, was chosen as emperor. With Wang Su in power, the Empire of Zhouran turned into a totalitarian ultranationalist empire.

On June 3, 1933, the People’s Party was established. Wang Su listed the party as "an illegal party that exploits our glorious Empire."

During World War 2, the Empire of Zhouran had sided with the Axis against the Allies. Both Japan and Zhouran were the major Axis powers in Asia, although Zhouran only provided diplomatic support. On August 16, 1945, the Empire of Zhouran had surrendered. By August 19, the Empire of Zhouran had cut off communications with the rest of the world and became isolated. Left with no allies, as well as having a failing economy, Zhouran fell into a state of poverty and political instability.

May 14, 1947 was the start of the Zhouranese Civil War. The People’s Front, the armed wing of the People’s Party, fought against the Zhouranese Imperial Army. It all started when people throughout Zhouran protested against Wang Su’s totalitarian rule, which ended when soldiers crushed the protests. As the civil war quickly raged on, many soldiers from the Zhouranese Imperial Army had defected to the People’s Front.

On September 8, 1956, Wang Su was killed by an officer from the Zhouranese Imperial Army. The Empire of Zhouran collapsed and the Zhouranese Imperial Army surrendered. With the Zhouranese Civil War finished, Xia Peng, who was commander of People’s Front soldiers near Ouyang, established the People’s Republic of Zhouran on September 9, 1956. He was chosen as the President of the State Presidium.

PEOPLES... REPUBLIC..?

*rallies OSAN*

Death to Communism.

[Zhouran]

Death to Communism.

We were NEVER commie. The People's Party is yirenweibenist, which is like a really-centrist and moderate variation of fascism.

EDIT: Was, since the Kaiming Beiguan took power, created the Federation, and replaced yirenweiben with kunbangism.

The PAK TA is rather ambitious.

Don't worry, Zhouran gets that a lot.

Also, I'm watching you too

The PAK TA is rather ambitious.

Not really ambitious. It simply uses a blended-wing body design. Though that would make it more efficient than conventional transport planes.

-Unnecessary history time-

Basically China and Japan's history combined.

Each of our nations have some great patrons like Xia Peng and a clique responsible for laying the foundations of its country's power like the imperial dynasty.

The Philippines has the Duterte clique and Erin Terten (who is definitely dead).

Yep, Zhouran faced a fate similar to both Japan and China.

And yes, Xia Peng is a national patron. He's basically the Josip Broz Tito of the Orient (minus the communism and replace that with nationalism )

Also, Duterte himself should have an influence over Asigna Philippines, even if he's dead by 2040.

[Asigna]

Also, Duterte himself should have an influence over Asigna Philippines, even if he's dead by 2040.

The real Broz Titos of the orient are the likes of Sukarno who managed to unite a multicultural nation as a secular (mostly?) republic.

And about Duterte.... Terten managed to revise history to the point that he made the periods of Philippine history pre-2041 as "poor Philippines". Of course, not everyone buys that.

Xia Peng himself is the polar opposite, since he only united a homogenous nation, but he was secular himself and Zhouran is also secular despite a large percent of the people being religious.

Also, Duterte himself would be respected in Zhouran as a strongman of the Philippines. Surprised you don't have posters showing Duterte's face as if he was Mao Zedong or Kim Il Sung

[Chkalovsk]

The UFS want meh to lose control of my borders.
Nein.

One of the reasons i don't really talk much about what happened between current date and 2041 is because i let current events dictate the happenings.

Do a dramatic parliament battle and angry rhetoric from hard liners against the FTZ within a time range of 1 week before withdrawing dramatically.
