The Iron Curtain: A Cold War RP (OOC, Reboot, Open)

[Hypron]

Well, I have a headache after doing these calculations. The total land area of the Imperial Federation would be 29,842,357 sq. km. That's a lot of lands to cover.

I'll be pushing for decolonization of the European colonies in the UN. We'll see if your federation will last

And there's the catch; they aren't colonies anymore, they will be part of something much greater with a very weird flag.

Can I quickly stick in a reservation for Israel?

The USSR will simply classify it as colonization by a different name.

Of course

[Rhyssua]

Name of faction: The National Coalition

Leaders: Martin Adamcek, Viliam Siroky, Antonin Zapotocky

Influence (number of members and power): Limited to about 100 people in the Communist Party, but it will spread to other parties with time. It's pretty powerful, considering that the leaders have high-level positions.

Base of operations: Mostly concentrated in Party bureaucrats and leadership, with unofficial headquarters in Prague.

Goals:
-Convince President Gottwald to reverse his hard-line Stalinist policies, especially regarding anti-semitism and anti-Titoism
-Prevent a purge within Party ranks
-Get Adamcek appointed Economic Minsiter
-Get Siroky appointed First Secretary of the Party
-Extend Party membership
-"Czechoslovak Communism", with Five-Year Plans being made specifically to Czechoslovakia's economy independently of other Eastern Bloc nations. This includes more agriculture subsidies, investments in consumer goods, and improving existing production
-Rearm its military, to work cooperatively with other socialist nations
-Support socialist parties in nearby nations, including West Germany, Austria, Italy, and France
-Advocate that the USSR give back the Subcarpathian Rus.
-Advocate that Czechoslovakia should co-administer the occupied regions of Austria, to prevent the whole country from uniting under anti-communist rule

History: Siroky and Zapotocky were staunch supporters of the 1948 coup, while Adamcek was sympathetic but not outspoken. They held a vision of a socialist Czechoslovakia, where it led Europe economically and politically, helping to guide other nations into socialism. Gottwald's appointment as First Secretary and President seemed to confirm this. However, a meeting with Stalin quickly changed Gottwald's mind, and he fled to the informal group of Stalinists that had begun to dominate the party. With threats of an antisemitic and "Titoist" purges in the country, these three quickly met and hammered out an agreement, hoping to convince Gottwald to reverse his Stalinist policies and continue towards the idea of "Czechoslovak Communism".

Not so fond of the Federation idea but France and UK should work together to become the Third Wheel/Third Force and maintain some not all of our colonies. I do want to work together with you in attempting that in some form but we can't be respected if we do weird unrealistic things such as invade Ireland.

The Imperial Federation itself is kind of silly. I live in a former colony that is doing much better than the UK right now. Nobody then and not now wants to be part of the UK. In fact, the UK is hanging on to this unrealistic assumption of unity by allowing Commonwealth students in Universities in the UK to vote in their elections. Kind of laughable.

I'm trying to keep an empire together here, I have to get creative.

You're delaying the inevitable

1. Please don't invade me... pretty please?

2. Decolonization- I am... inevitable

UK- I am...greedy. Also Great Britain

I will avoid decolonization of my dominions by any means possible.

[Hypron]

Welp, I'm leaving Southern Africa by 1959. Who wants some abandoned empire?

[Rhyssua]

And the National Coalition is in power. Expect a lot of political intrigue and power-sharing among the Coalition members (Zapotocky, Adamcek, Siroky), and tensions with Gottwald's camp of Stalinists.

Also USSR, I'm going to send a letter requesting a meeting soon regarding Austria, Yugoslavia, the Carpathian Rus, and maybe the Warsaw Pact

Why is Zaleski the head, as opposed to Bolesław Bierut?

Malaysia will be temporarily gone for a few weeks, and their absence has been noted. Israel is reserved by The Vekta-Helghast Empire.

Besides that, I think the only notable change is once again, the alliance map: https://i.imgur.com/EAUYEs9.png. The OP will be updated shortly
