[Badassistanian]

A five year development plan is created for the nation hoping to bring it to the same levals of most nations and this includes creating better farming equipment, technology of all sorts, and upgrading infrastructure,

Currently Syndikat has an excess of agricultural machinery, and would be willing to sell to Badassistanian.

We ask what the price would be for such machinery.

[Syndikat]

We ask what the price would be for such machinery.

We'll sell to you at a reduced price to help you get on your feet.

OOC: Let's assume that it's a very reasonable price. I seriously don't feel like spending 1-2 hours researching farm equipment and then working out all the costs for it.

[Centro-Progressive Peoples Entity]

Military funding is decreased by 10%, and it has to be privately funded in order to make ends meet. Good thing there's things like a bake sale and the free market.

[Badassistanian]

We ask what the price would be for such machinery.

We'll see to you at a reduced price to help you get on your feet.

OOC: Let's assume that it's a very reasonable price. I seriously don't feel like spending 1-2 hours researching farm equipment and then working out all the costs for it.

We accept (no problem)

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The Party meets on summons from Markovic himself.

"I will not be blind, and know that a conflict in the foreseeable future is possible. Volkstrad no doubt has the bomb too; we are at an awkward suspicion of eachother. They're gutsy enough to make the move, and we must be aware that this scenario exists. I don't want to raise rabble, but merely keep our eyes open. Admiral Tsiolkovsky, you have the floor."

The admiral speaks. "I request the Tupolev be transferred to the Golden Sea Fleet. The Baltik Fleet has no need of it, and event if war, the carrier could quickly become a death trap in the northern waters. We need more minelaying vessels North, to block hostile waters but keep out own trade routes open."

Markovic nods. "This is acceptable. The mine shipments will be of the utmost secrecy."

General Alisa Visenyaev speaks next. "My comrades and I have spoken, and it seems in event of war, Petra is most vulnerable. Despite our best defenses, their tanks would take the east relatively quickly. Our best chance is to bog them down in the middle cities, and Project 7 will be our best shot. We are also interested in holding the tanks in reserve. If they do invade, progress on the border is inevitable, and out heaviest troops must be saved for a counter attack in an area where we know the terrain, outnumber them, and have air support. Furthermore, we would like the tank reserves in Yurikhan to be strengthened, as Romuva, as a Volkstradi satellite, could be tasked with taking their oilfields. Lastly, we wish to increase food, fuel, and ammunition storage in all the western cities, along with fortifications above and underground, airbases, and AA guns, to repel an initial attack but also survive under siege."

Markovic nods again. "These steps will be taken immediately. The world can only see it as purely defensive, and it is necessary for our wellbeing."

As Transport Trucks are going down the street and exiting the city, he is greeted by one of the 10 parliamentary representatives, which represent the governing body of UM

[Badassistanian]

"Hello all of you but I would like to speak to the one in charge if I may."

UM makes its final move of Peaceful Imperialism, as it sends Greenland an Annexation offer, stating that they will retain much autonomy and have their own laws.

OOC: there's only one greeting Antonio, sorry if i didnt make that clear :C

[Vivosaur Island]

Vivosaur Island is a tiny nation in 1955, putting everything it has into its defenses, including vivosaurs in the hands of their sometimes poorly trained Fossil Fighters. These greenies are almost unable to fight properly and are quickly dispatched, sometimes by their own vivosaurs when they become feral. The future leaders of the nation are but low ranking corporals working in their own military groups: Hunter Calico in the Black Ops, Curtis Calico in the Spec Ops, Crimson in the Marines, Vapor in the Navy, Lucht in the Air Force, and Terence in the Army. All of them are trying to work their up to escape the fighting.

The USP begins producing the Su-9 in secrecy. It acts as the country's first interceptor, designed to safeguard airspace from potential Volkstradi recon flights, or in event or war, bombing raids. Airbases are built in forests located in the vicinity of strategic targets.

[Badassistanian]

Talks with the nation's of Paraguay and Bolivia over the topic of integration into the SAUB begin.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The USP begins covertly shipping weapons to communists in Afghanistan, as conditions have become so harsh that a revolution is deemed necessary.

[Syndikat]

Work on upgrading the railroad in South Iberian Syndikat and East Syndikat have begun, with the railroads in North Syndikat and North Iberian Syndikat having been completed.

[Centro-Progressive Peoples Entity]

The CPPE Peoples' Flight Corps. (has about 50 planes) do a run to Afghanistan and drop leaflets by Dinesh Arbuza and other Marxists, Anarchists, and Democrats. They hope to make Afghanistan friendly to us, as they are geopolitically significant to us.

A new form of election is suggested among the people to be used as well as the conventional system of one man, one vote: the approval vote. This is a better way to put into statistical analysis what the political views are of the people through how many people they vote for, because in approval voting, a person may give one vote to however many candidates they wish that are in an election. If there are more than two parties represented by more than two candidates, the people may vote for whichever party they feel represents them most, and the same logic is applied to the candidacy. If there is a runner in an election someone hates, then he may give all of his votes to the other runners.
The only cons with approval voting are that elections will take longer, as it is only fair that the people know exactly what each candidate stands for and what they plan to do, which a brief synopsis of each candidate will fail to do. Of course, this is what the Commissar of Education is for (doesn't only apply to schools and children, ya know), and they with the Commissar of Society, Affairs Department will make sure the people are educated about approval voting and its mechanics, as well as of all 336 parties of the CPPE.
Here is a quick explanation of approval voting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting

In other news, the Commissar of Society with the help of the Commissar of Education, have broadcasted the first ever educational program on television (which I'm assuming no one has done). It broadcasts every Tuesday and Thursday, and it teaches those not old enough to go to school yet (youngest age, which was also the youngest age in the USSR which my parents told me, is 7) the basics like the alphabet, numbers, coordinate geometry, proofs of theorems, and basic to intermediate algebra. This will prepare them for the advanced Grade One level once they become old enough to go to school. Although there is no law preventing kids to go to school before 7, most parents refrain from sending them to school mostly for sentimental reasons.

[Badassistanian]

After many hours of debate the nations of Bolivia and Paraguay are officially integrated into the SAUB.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The Marxists smuggle out a letter explaining that their movement is already backed by the USP.

In other news, ten were killed in a gun attack in Kabul. The government blames leftist militants on the basis of a false flag operation, while the USP accuses the government of Afghanistan of taking out political opponents.

[Communist Volkstrad]

Volkstrad, seeing the conflict in Afghanistan, sends the Stasi to the nation to observe. They begin to fund and supply Titoist factions in Afghanistan and begin a campaign of espionage designed to bring them into power, very, very slowly to prevent it from being noticed immediately.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The USP continues building up support itself, using the poverty of Afghanistan to sway the working classes.

[Communist Volkstrad]

Stasi begin to run false-flag terror attacks, leaving significant evidence to point towards the Marxist faction, and other rival factions. In the wake of each attack, the Titoist faction, gaining more power in the government, vows to work against those responsible. The Stasi begin to spread rumors and propaganda subversively, spreading tales of the brutality and cruelty of their foes.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The communists decide they have substantial backing, and must act now for a good outcome to occur. Revolutionaries storm government buildings, aided by Tetragz.
