===1936 Q3===
Francisco Franco leads the Spanish Army of Africa in what has come to have been known as the Spanish Civil War. Initially beginning in Morocco, the uprising has spread to a significant area in Iberia, with the nationalist factions fighting against the socialist Republican Spain.
As there is no such "Axis" faction, Germany has no idea what Austria is talking about.
Trotsky is reported to have been present in Paraguay speaking with Rafael Franco, sparking suspicions that a Trotskyist Paraguayan State may soon be a reality. It is also noted that Trotsky was seen in Portugal a few days prior, leading to the USSR accusing Portugal of harboring a political enemy.
The Moscow Trials are held in the USSR, incarcerating suspected supporters of Trotsky or executing them. Also known as the Great Purge to many, who see this as Stalin clearing out any opposition to his rule and criticise it.
Britain and France formally recognise the independence of Egypt and Syria in the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty and Franco-Syrian Treaty respectively.
Martial law declared in British Palestine.

*Military: Total of

*Tanks in Brazil army is in development,for that,none is build,only a prototype,that failed in his first test
====Commonwealth of Australia ====
*Government: In general, the government remains almost the same as is from last turn, with the Communists and Fascists losing even more popularity, however a scandal initiated by the Prime Minister may set things up for a different election next year.
**Joseph Lyons: An interesting yet surprising scandal surfaces involving Prime Minister Joseph Lyons. A rich agricultural company known as Williams-Goldburg Farming Co. has allegedly been bribing the Prime Minister for unknown reasons, as specified and stated by Labour Party leader James Scullin. An investigation has begun as many question the Prime Minister's legibility.
*Economy: The economy growth slows a little bit, as the shipbuilding investment mentioned last turn turns out to fail completely, as the Darwinian forest fire damaged the docks severely. Agricultural exporting however does allow for growth in the farming sector, and gold is found in Alice Springs.

**Trotsky Incidents: We wish to retain our neutrality in this situation, but we do see the Stalin crackdowns as somewhat excessive and weird, as Trotsky really has no way of defeating Stalin.
**Spain: Similar as above, we pertain to a strict neutrality to the nationalistic/socialist war currently proceeding in Spain.
*Events:
**St. Kilda Attacks: A synagogue attack near Melbourne resulted in 1 death and 3 injuries. Many suspect that the attack was carried out by people from the National Socialist Union of Australia as Australia rarely has anti-Semitic attacks. An investigation currently is underway.
**Socialist-Nationalist Clash: During a Socialist demonstration in Perth, several Nationalists/Nazis arrived and began clashing with the Socialists. Nobody was killed, but 18 were injured and 5 were taken into custody.
====Austria====

====Union of Soviet Socialist Republics====
*Backstory: After Vladimir Lenin's death in 1924, a fight emerged between communist supporting the People's Commisar of Military and Naval Affairs Leon Trotsky and the General Secretary of the Communist Party, Joseph Stalin. After the defeat of the Trotskysts, Stalin became the factual autocrat of the Soviet Union. Under Stalin, the Soviet policy shifted from internationalism to nationalism. Stalin decided to build 'aocialism in one country', thus reducing his support to foreign communist factions. In 1930, Stalin's confidant Vyacheslav Molotov was installed in the position of Premier of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, the Soviet Union rapidly industrialized.

**Portugal: Portugal, my friend! Let us not talk about ideological differences and about a fool who tries to retake what he lost forever. Instead, we should improve our biliteral relations. There's only one true evil in this world. This evil is fascism. We shall fight fascism with all our might, with everything we have in our disposal. That's why I'm offering you economical support and political and military protection against fascism and nazism. The only thing we want in return is the guarantee that you will not let a trotskyst or a fascist take control of your government.
**Czechoslovakia: Czechoslovakia! Woe is thou! You'll never be friends with Hitler! Instead, he will smash you, together with his Hungarian companion! Is it war you so desire, or peace and prosperity? Note, my Slavic friend, your only hope is to ally with me. Your 'democrats', France and Britain won't help you. There's nothing new under the sun.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is re-elected as US President in a landslide victory.
Japan and Germany sign the Anti-Comintern Pact, an agreement held against the Communist International and mutual defense should the USSR do anything fishy.
Republican Spain gladly accepts Soviet aid, but is countered by Germany and Italy throwing their support for the nationalist opposition in the form of tanks and planes.

===1937 Q1===
The Spanish Civil War escalates further, as the support from the USSR, Germany and Italy are utilised to fight against each other. Both Germany and Italy ensure the USSR that they will cut off aid to Nationalist Spain as soon as the USSR does to Republican Spain.
Germany applauds the wise decisions of Austria to embrace fascism, and promptly admits them to the Anti-Comintern Pact along with Turkey.
The United Kingdom, France and Netherlands sanction Brazil for aggression against their colonies in South America. Military prescense is also increased, and the Treaty of Amsterdam is signed, in which the other two signatories will intervene in any war defending against Brazil on behalf of the signatory which was attacked.
The United Kingdom assures Czechoslovakia assistance, should they ask for it during wartime.
Germany has sent a demand to the UK, demanding that their former colonies, lost during World War I, be ceded to them once more. The UK has sent the equivalent of "no".
Mussolini has declared his support for Arabs and Muslims, shortly after receiving the "Sword of Islam" in Tripoli, leading to more established relations with Muslim communities in Arabia and North Africa. Mussolini reaffirmed his closeness to the Muslim population, guaranteeing "peace, justice, wellness and respect for the laws of the Prophet."

Do note that we will remain neutral in case of aggression between you and the Europeans however.
** New Zealand: War seems to be on the brink of the horizon my fellow nation. The Anti-Comintern grows substantially, and the Spanish proxy war between the U.S.S.R and Fascists is at its boiling point. I fear that we may be seeing another World War on the horizon. Do you agree to fighting with glorious Britannia in case such an occurrence occurs my brother?

===1937 Q2===
Aden becomes a crown colony of the UK, despite recent protests by the locals.
In the United States, the German airship Hindenburg bursts into flame when mooring to a mast in Lakehurst, New Jersey. Airships are going out of fashion in favour of aircraft. This allows nations to expand their air force by 100 planes for Tier 1, 50 planes for Tier 2, 20 planes for Tier 3, and 10 planes for Tier 4. Tireless nations don't get anything.
Neville Chamberlain is elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Only time will tell of potential shifts in policy.
Venezuela accuses Brazil of placing words in their mouth. There is no Venezuelan blockade of the Guyanas, for they are not as daring as Brazil to trifle with three colonial empires. Military prescense increases in the three colonies. The UK tells Brazil to "leave Guyana alone".
Latvia and Estonia accept the offer proposed by Lithuania.
The Portuguese Civil War gains the support of several foreign powers, and experts predict the region to be just as chaotic as Spain is at current moment.

The government, however, would remain democratic with it's president being elected as Antanas Smetona.
* The people within the country would keep grow in favor of fascism even more, especially when Lithuania and Latvia united - thus growing scared of a future attack from the Soviets.

Some of the rebels' navy turned back to the central government.
**Central government: It controls the biggest cities, except for Coimbra, and a few rural areas. While it wins in mainlands, the situation in colonies is disastrous.

====The Baltic Republic====
*Government: Baltic Nationalist Union, led by current president Antanas Smetona. After the elections, Algirdas Sliesoraitis, representing the fascist "Iron Wolf Union" becomes president and proclaims himself as dictator.
*Economy: The United Baltic Nation began to export even more dairy products, we also begin to build even more factories in the north-east of Latvia. The new factories in The Baltic Nation have been 75% built.
*Military: We keep heavily conscripting new troops for our military.
The army of the Baltic Republic consisting of Lithuania and Latvia would consist of: 25,000 active army personnel; 20,000 inactive/reserve army personnel; 4 Naval Ships. 95 Aircraft planes. 0 Light Tanks | 0 Medium Tanks | 0 Heavy Tanks.

====Commonwealth of Australia====
*Government: Politics in Australia take a dramatic shift as a result of the shocking, scandalous, and unforeseen election.
**Election: On the days of October 23rd, 24th, and 25th, the Commonwealth of Australia voted in one of the most contentious and erratic elections the nation (and the world perhaps) has ever seen.
***United Liberal-Nationalist Coalition (Enid Lyons): 40.83% (25 seats)
***Independents: N/A% (2 seats)
***Labour Party: 60.17% (47 seats)
**Election Result: George Maartens, leader of the Labour Party and often accused of being a thick socialist, is officially elected Prime Minister of Australia. Many suspect that George only won because Enid was a woman, and the historically conservative people of the Liberal Party found that a woman as Prime Minister was unfit and horrible.As soon as George Maartens was admitted as Prime Minister, he began proposing bills seen as quite leftist (almost far-leftist). He also strives to improve relations with communist nations like the U.S.S.R. Meanwhile, Enid remains leader of the U.A.P, despite many protests and calls for her to resign and/or pick a replacement.
*Economy: The recession experienced in the last turn ends, pushing the economy back on its feet again. Meanwhile, Western Australia's economy explodes with prosperity as investment significantly increases in Perth, Albany, Bunbury, and Mandurah.

**Air Force: 80 Planes

**Nine Power Treaty Conference: We express extreme concern for the future of Asia and Oceania, for Japan's imperial ambitions threaten nations, people, and the world. We ask the Kuomintang and Communists in China to at least temporarily drop their civil war to focus on the clearly larger threat, which has taken several important and vital cities to China. As for Japan, we ask of them to "keep to their own lands". They do not deserve, and are incapable of handling Chinese territory, and the extreme measures for their ambitions are cruel and ridiculous.
**Czechoslovakia: We would like to improve our relations with you, and to open a consulate in Brno and Bratislava.
*Events:
**Niu Gini Nationals: More aggression and guerilla fighting is used by Niu Gini as insurgency rises across the country.
**Sunshine Calamity: In the Sunshine Coast, 17 are killed by a large storm system (likely a cyclone, but not known for sure).

===1938 Q1===
Austria is officially annexed into Germany, in an event that has come to be known as the Anschluß. Hitler announces "the oldest German state, is now the newest bastion of the Reich", from the balcony of the Hofburg Palace overlooking the Heldenplatz.
Seeing no other viable option, the Kuomintang Nationals announce a ceasefire with the People's Liberation Army to settle the Japanese threat.
Qingdao is taken by Japanese forces, who present China with a harsh ultimatum, including the annexation of occupied land and severe reparations. The Chinese government still considers how to deal with it, but it is clear the Communists in China will not enjoy any outcome from this.
Hitler praises the actions of the Baltic Republic, saying "it seems the Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians have some sense in their heads after all", and cordially invites them to join the Anti-Comintern Pact.
Neville Chamberlain made an important foreign policy speech in the House of Commons, saying Britain would fight for France and Belgium if they were attacked.

***Independence of African colonies: Rebels' army was controlling all of the former Portuguese colonies. Due to big loses on the mainland, they decided to declare Angola and Mozambique as an independent People's Republics. PRA and PRM are friendly towards each other and want to start an anti-imperialist revolution in Africa.
**Central government: It controls the biggest cities, except for Coimbra, and about a half of rural areas. Old colonies had become independent countries. A pro-monarchist coup was set and Portugal was declared as a monarchy. A new king, Pedro de Alcântara, grandson of Pedro II, came in Lisboa and made his famous "Um novo começo" speech. Even though he is from Brazil, people still support the only successor of House of Braganza.

The press in the state have been changed to be mostly propaganda, benifiting the Baltic State.

Our dictator poses the Polish as thieves, satanists and delinquents. On July 28th, a new law has been passed, stripping the Polish from their rights. Polish children will not be able to attend school OR get a higher education at all. The Poles shall be forced to work heavily for the Baltic State's good, with the workers getting a really, really small monthly wage.
* Anti-Fascist Protests and Riots: On June 16th, people in eastern Latvian provinces have risen up to protest against the fascist dictatorship, demanding their rights to be given back. The government didn't take this too lightly, and sent 2,000 troops (for now) to take care of the protest. Fearing an uprising, on June 17th, the troops have been given orders to execute aggressive protesters to drive fear into other people. On June 18th, the protests and riots have ended, with many protesters getting either jailed or imprisoned for 6 months.

===1938 Q2===
Unsurprisingly, China has taken Japan's ultimatum and burnt it into ashes. This is followed by the first major Chinese victory in the Sino-Japanese War, in which the reputation of the Japanese army as an invincible force went up in smoke just like their ultimatum in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
Italian propaganda begins to make its way into the hands of Arabs and Muslims in North Africa and the Middle East, hoping to sway them towards fascism.
Italy denies Russian claims that it was them that sunk three neutral vessels in the Mediterranean Sea, calling these accusations "baseless" and using a "he who accuses is guilty" rhetoric. Germany tries to calm both sides down to prevent the situation from boiling down into full-on conflict.
The United Kingdom agrees to hold a joint investigation into the Mediterranean sinkings.
The United States reaffirms its stance on the status of the Philippines, saying they will remain under the United States "until the Japanese threat subsides".
Poland and Romania sign the Treaty of Krakow, reaffirming the alliance between them. Representatives from France and the UK were present at the signing of the Treaty, and have guaranteed both nations support in any future crisis.

==1939==
===1939 Q1===
Hungary joins the Anti-Comintern Pact, in the light of the increasingly fascist regime there as well as being invited by Germany. Francoist Spain followed soon after.
Demands for Danzig to be returned to control of Germany continue, with each request seeming increasingly pressured. Polish diplomats have repeatedly declined to give a confirmation on the status of Danzig, but do not seem to be willing to give it up.
Unrest occurs in Tunis, with growing support for Italian rule each day due to their foreign policy in accordance with the Islamic religion.
Martial law is declared in the Republic of Spain, mostly due to the gradual erosion of control over the Spanish nation. Francoist forces continue to make gains, especially in Catalonia and Andalusia. Britain and France formally recognise Francoist Spain in the following weeks.
A coup occurs in Paraguay, as Trotskyite supporters place a sunglasses-sporting Leon Trotsky into the National Assembly alongside several other figures of power. Their motto is ominously changed to "South America is Red". Gunfire can be heard in cities where support for the previous government holds strong.
Francoist Spain requests a non-aggression pact with Portugal.

Nationalist State of the Islands
** Government : A self-declared fascist state breaking away from the Philippines. We strive to be like Germany and Japan. We declare war on the Commonwealth and ask help from Japan.

**Poland: We would like to purchase Galicia. We also offer you a non-agression pact.
**Philippines: We will do everything we can to stop those fascists from taking over your rightful islands.
**United States: Would you like a joint military operation to prevent a fascist takeover of the Philippines? If you disagree, we are still intervening to halt a fascist takover. But I'm assured you will make a wise decision to help your protectorate out.
*Events:
**Intervention in the civil conflict in the Philippines: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics does not recognize the self-proclaimed Nationalist State of the Islands and sends 200,000 troops and 50,000 volunteers towards the Philippines to battle against the rebels. 
==== First Czechoslovak Republic ====
* Government: Parliamentary republic. Edvard Beneš is the president and Milan Hodža is the prime minister. We are currently trying to keep democracy popular but it's not going too well. It is slightly split due to negotiating with both democratic countries (UK) and communist ones (USSR/Soviet Union).
* Capital: Prague
* Economy: Industries and factories are being built to increase employment. The economy is doing pretty okay. Infrastructure is improved to make it safer and so that troops can move through quicker.
* Wars and Conflicts:
* Military: Our army isn't terrible, nor great. Currently more people are being conscripted and weapons are being produced. We have 20 Infantry Divisions, 18 Cavalry Brigades, 16 Motorized Divisions and 8 Mountaineer Divisions.
* Airforce: We have 176 Interwar Fighters, 87 Close Air Support planes and 92 Interwar Bombers.
* Diplomacy:
** USSR/Soviet Union: We are readying our armies in case a revolt/revolution starts, thanks for offering intervention.
** Australia: [Secret] We know, but if they attack us, they also go after our friend the Soviet Union, I don't think they will let this "pact" go for much longer, thanks for the info though. [Secret]
* Events: 
** Spanish Civil War: We are (still) neutral about the Spanish Civil War.
** Fascist Support: It rises slightly.
** More Fortification: More forts are built in the Sudetenland.
** Speech: Milan Hodža says in a speech "We may not agree with everything, but the Soviet Union is one of our best friends and greatest allies right now, they are necessary for our survival in a potential conflict."
====Commonwealth of Australia====
*Government: Federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy
**Prime Minister of Australia and Leader of the Australian Labour Party: George Maartens
**Leader of the Opposition: Vacant
*Military: Due to the declaration of war from the Nationalist State of the Islands, enlist blows out of the roof as men and women volunteer and conscript for the possible war. Five planes, three ships, and a destroyer are added to the army.
**Active Military Personnel: 14,451
**Reserve Personnel: 24,818
**Air Force: 90 planes
**Navy: 10 Destroyers; 20 Ships; Total: 30
*Economy: We attempt a shift towards a war-time economy due to the Nationalist State of the Islands' declaration of war. War factories are built and established, while many people of different sectors withdraw in order to serve for the war effort.
*Diplomacy:
**Nationalist State of the Islands: Excuse me? Your declaration of war, surge in fascist activity, and ask for support for the Anti-Comintern is not only ridiculous and foolish, but uncalled for. Your declaration of war is a disgusting way of showing your insecurity as a "new state", and foolish fascism. We do not recognize your state, and pledge to fight you and your vacuous calls for war and fascism. We are not amused, and we will annihilate you with full force! Also, you declaring this war may just cause an international conflict in already heated times! Think about the dangers and gravity of such a situation! And while does seem to be inevitable, a war bubbling from a simple declaration of war from a petty declared state like you could have massive repercussions on the world order!
**U.S.S.R: We accept your offer of establishing consulates in Adelaide and Perth. We'd also love to exchange your gesture with opening some consulates of our own, but thanks to the war with the Nationalist State of the Islands, we may not be able to. We also urge of you to recognize Britain as not a co-conspirator with the dirty fascists, but a possible ally instead. This war is likely to bubble into a massive global conflict with us against the Anti-Comintern, so if war is inevitable, it is likely that Britain and France will be some useful allies. I believe that Britain only acknowledged Francoist Spain as a nation due to the eventual end of the war, and how it was clear (to them) that there was no hope of a Spain under a better government.
**New Zealand: It is clear that the Nationalist State of the Islands wishes to wage war against me, and as you are nearby, it is likely that the self-proclaimed nation will perhaps wage war against you as well. Will you help us, oh Britannic brother of ours?
**Britain: [Secret] This war against Nationalist State of the Islands may become a deadly one pitting me against the Anti-Comintern. While Britannia isn't directly affected by this war, it is likely that this small war will bubble into a global conflict if Japanese forces decide to fund the Nationalist State of the Islands, due to the U.S.S.R waging war against them. I do not like to beg for help from the nation that has given already so much to us, but alas, it seems that I must in order to keep democracy and the Britannic vision alive. We beg of you to help us in this predicament that is likely to bubble over into world conflict. We beg of you to also dismiss our increased relations with the U.S.S.R as just supporting the people of Australia. It is likely that my (Maartens) term as Prime Minister will wain due to my unpopular rhetoric, so these relations may falter, but this war will not, so we beg of you, please help us. [Secret]
*Events:
**Government Politics: The Labour party starts splitting up, with pro-Maartenists, and anti-Maartenists, mostly based on how leftist someone is. On the other side of the spectrum, several Liberal Party candidates pledge to leave due to the growing far-right ideology of the party. Some have even begun to call it fascistic. As for the county party, a split also seems underway, with more far-right people stating that they want to join the Liberal Party, with more centrists stating they want to leave the party. It is likely that in the coming turns, several changes will occur to the political parties.
***Liberal Accusations against Communism: Many Liberal party members both a part of the split and against it have been accusing the Prime Minister of warming up to the U.S.S.R, and warn many of the nation that communism is around the corner.
***Government Hatred: Many in the public have started a deep hatred for both the government, Liberal, and County parties, in light of the scandals and changes to the party. Government and establishment hatred is at 56% according to a poll.
**Mackay Cyclone: On January 9th, a cyclone hit the city of Mackay, killing 28 and injuring many others. The government attempts to bring aid to the city, but due to the strain of the war with the Nationalist State of the Islands, resources to give are strained.
==== The Baltic State ====

There is a full production of our light tanks and medium tanks.
The army of the Baltic State would consist of: 65,000 active army personnel; 40,000 inactive/reserve army personnel; 7 Naval Ships. 125 Aircraft planes. 20 Light Tanks | 5 Medium Tanks | 0 Heavy Tanks.
* Diplomacy: 
** Poland: We keep our borders militarized.
** Soviet Union: We still keep our borders militarized. We also ask you for a non-aggression pact in these high-tension times. We wish to avoid any future conflicts involving the two of us and we only want to deal with our inner-state problems...
** Events:
** Nationalist State of the Islands/Phillipines: We declare neutrality to this conflict as we are too far away from you, though, we partially support your independence too.
** First Genocide of the Poles: On Feburary 10th, it is reported that a genocide took place in Polish Genocide Camps, which were built in mid-1938. A total of 35,000 Poles were exterminated via toxic gas. The following week, dictator Algirdas Sliesoraitis made a speech to the public regarding Poland and their "lack of intelligence", promising to use the Poles as work power and "rid" of them when they're useless and too weak to work., that way humiliating the Polish. Though, not revealing anything more about the genocide that took place.

**Francoist Spain: We agree to sign a non-aggression pact.
===1939 Q2===
The United States decides to follow through with the proposal of the USSR, and increases military prescense in the Philippines and surrounding waters.
The Sudetenland breaks away from Czechoslovakia and announces their annexation into Germany. Hitler claims he has nothing to do with it, but skeptics remain suspicious.
Support for Trotskyism is growing in the USSR, threatening the stability of the current government. It remains at a low level currently, but is slowly climbing into the higher ranks of the State.
Several nations relunctantly recognise Nationalist Spain, which declares victory over Republican Spain. The country is now focusing on rebuilding what was lost in the civil war.
Poland declines the offer for purchasing Galicia, but welcomes the non-aggression pact.
Unrest occurs in the Slovakian provinces of Czechoslovakia, vying for an independent People's Republic of Slovakia.
Fascist nations have not given any statement on the recent events in the Philippines, but it is clear that Japan is not in full support of the actions taken by the Nationalist State of the Islands.
New Zealand pledges support for Australia.
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt sends a list of nations to Germany and Italy with a question, "Are you willing to give assurance that your armed forces will not attack or invade the territory or possessions of the following independent nations? If such assurance is given by your Government, I shall immediately transmit it to the Governments of the nations I have named, and I shall simultaneously inquire whether, as I am reasonably sure, each of the nations enumerated above will in turn give like assurance for transmission to you. Reciprocal assurances such as I have outlined will bring to the world an immediate measure of relief."
Hitler responds by giving assurance that none of the 31 nations will be invaded or attacked. Mussolini replies with a similar message, in a more reluctant tone. A non-aggression pact was subsequently signed between Germany and Denmark.
The Pact of Steel is formed by an alliance between Germany and Italy.

*Economy: The war-time economy remains, but only partially due to the retraction of war from the Philippines, although vigilance remains high.
*Diplomacy:
**People's Republic of the Islands: We find your retraction of your declaration of war acceptable yet somewhat untrustworthy. Your sudden switches in ideology are very concerning for not only your people, but the nations of the world. While we open the thought of no war with open arms, we do find your opening of relations with us dubious and peculiar. We will remain vigilant in the coming months, securing our maritime and land borders while patrolling the skies and observing the nation to make sure we can be assured that the People's Republic of the Islands remains solid and stable.
**U.S.S.R: We express extreme gratitude towards your short-lived yet effective help, aid, and efforts towards eliminating the (hopefully forever-destroyed) Nationalist State of the Islands. To exchange your gesture, we've requested to open consulates in Leningrad and Novosibirsk.
**Baltic State: We condemn the actions you've committed against the Poles and severely detest your treatment of other peoples, for in the end, we are all humans after all.

You also have one of the strongest armies in Europe, if you fully mobilize it, you will have about 1,000,000 soldiers. And don't forget that I and Britain will help you if Nazi Germany attacks.
**Poland:  We would like to have right of way for our troops. It's highly required due to the developing situation in Czechoslovakia.

===1939 Q3===
Germany offers to facilitate the relocation of Sudeten Germans instead of a secession and attempted annexation into Germany. They also assure Czechoslovakia no territorial gains will be pursued by them, and propose a non-aggression pact between Germany, Czechoslovakia, and if possible the Soviet Union.
The People's Republic of Angola and Mozambique decline Portugal's demands, and try to appeal to the Soviet Union to help out a fellow comrade.
The Philippines falls into chaos as a fascist and communist forces fight each other with the government. Soviet reinforcements clash with their American counterparts on some occasions, with observers suggesting a united offensive may not have been so effective with communism taking root in the Philippines. The United States proposes something more shocking, which is the USSR themselves have encouraged the formation of a socialist Philippine state from the very start.
The German Uranprojekt begins with the establishment of a headquarters in Berlin. The office is tasked with utilising recently discovered nuclear fission methods to develop energy sources.

**Maartens' Succumb to Depression: After the massacre of the Poles again in the Baltic State, George Maartens begins entering a deep bout of depression, in which he attempts to distance himself from the government. Close friends say that he's turned to alcohol due to his depression.
**Government Collapse: The issues with the government completely boil over, with the Liberal Party turning into the Nationalist party, the County party fracturing between Nationalist party people and moderates, the Labour party splitting between pro-Maartenists and anti-Maartenists. This fracturing is so massive and delicate that civil war in Australia actually seems plausible.
**Second Emu War: George Maartens declares a war on all emus in Australia after years of tyranny.
**Government Dissatisfaction: Dissatisfaction with the government with the people of Australia is at a nation-breaking 80%!

==== First Czechoslovak Republic ====
* Government: Parliamentary republic. Edvard Beneš is the president and Milan Hodža is the prime minister. We are currently trying to keep democracy popular but it's not going too well. It is slightly split due to negotiating with both democratic countries (UK) and communist ones (USSR/Soviet Union).

**Brazil: Even though Brazil is independent for more than 100 years, it is still nice to start having closer relationships and some kind of co-operation.
**United Kingdom: Germany and the Soviet Union are a big threat to humanity and peace. I think it is better to rapidly expand our faction in order to stop all of them and the main priority is the United States of America.

**Australia: [Top Secret] Sir, we heard reports regarding your 'depression'. We also heard you are trying to distance yourself from government. Even though we don't know whether the reports are true or not, but we are highly worried about this. We do not want to interfer in Australia's internal affairs, but we are fearing a civil war and a possible fascist coup d'état. So, please do not be depressed. We will handle that genoicide issue, believe me. [Top Secret]
**Baltic State: We will only agree if you stop massacring innocent Poles.

===1939 Q4===
Poland remains highly suspicious of the USSR, but facilitates a corridor in southeast Poland in which Soviet troops may pass.
Germany accepts the decision made by the USSR.
Tensions begin to rise as the question of self determination in colonial Africa is also intensified by self determination under a communist banner, and as such the empires of Europe begin to find themselves a potential enemy in the USSR.
The Commonwealth of the Philippines manages to regain control over major islands, and is expected to triumph over the other two illegitimate states.
Inspired by Angola and Mozambique, political parties in colonies worldwide begin to voice their opinions more frequently and publicly.
Germany gives Poland an ultimatum, in which if Danzig is not ceded they will annex it by force.
==== First Czechoslovak Republic ====
* Government: Parliamentary republic. Edvard Beneš is the president and Milan Hodža is the prime minister. We are currently trying to keep democracy popular but it's not going too well. It is slightly split due to negotiating with both democratic countries (UK) and communist ones (USSR/Soviet Union). Fascism has increased due to independence groups (mostly Slovak) becoming fascist. Due to the rising ideologies, we become more authoritarian, shutting down on free speech in certain cases.
* Capital: Prague
* Economy: Industries and factories are being built to increase employment. The economy is doing pretty okay. Infrastructure is improved to make it safer and so that troops can move through quicker.
* Wars and Conflicts:
* Military: Our army isn't terrible, nor great. Currently more people are being conscripted and weapons are being produced. We have 20 Infantry Divisions, 21 Cavalry Brigades, 20 Motorized Divisions and 10 Mountaineer Divisions.
* Airforce: We have 185 Interwar Fighters, 100 Close Air Support planes and 92 Interwar Bombers.
* Diplomacy:
** Poland: We suggest you join the Comintern.
** USSR/Soviet Union: We have potential new allies in Africa.
** Angola and Mozambique: We do not recognize them completely yet, but show support for their fight against Portugal and their desired friendship with the Comintern.
* Events: 
** Hungarian Border: It is fortified more, we may be okay with Germany for now, but another increasingly fascist country is rising in the south.
** Anti-Fascist Propaganda: Propaganda posters are put up by the government, denouncing fascism and fascists, while glorifying democracy and the friendship between Czechoslovakia and the rest of the Comintern.
** Protests and Demonstrations: If things start to go out of hand just a little, guards are there to try and make the events more peaceful, even if it is through threats, if the people refuse in hostile ways, they are to be detained.
==== The Baltic State ====
** Government: Fascist "Iron Wolf Union". Our dictator is Algirdas Sliesoraitis. 
** Economy: The Baltic State keeps exporting dairy products and similiar. We also export factory-produced goods. With the new factories being built, we accept new economic plans for our nation. The economy is being shifted into a military-economy.
** Military: We keep heavily conscripting new troops for our military. Military service is a requirement in the Baltic State. Minors from the age of 13 are getting trained, and minors from age 16 are deemed ready for the battlefield. We keep building naval ships and aircraft planes. There is a full production of our light tanks and medium tanks.
The army of the Baltic State would consist of: 99,000 active army personnel; 44,000 inactive/reserve army personnel; 11 Naval Ships. 150 Aircraft planes. 36 Light Tanks | 12 Medium Tanks | 0 Heavy Tanks.
** Diplomacy: 
*** Poland: The Polish incident in Kaunas is a prime example of what kind of degeneration is the polish nationality! We are heavily offended and demand a public apology from the Polish President! Also, with your poles illegaly crossing the border from our country, we also demand you to return them to us!  Yet alone, your threats to us mean absolutely nothing. We heavily militarize our border. If the poles that crossed the border aren't returned to us and if we get no apology by 1940 Q1, you might as well as deal with an invasion!
*** Soviet Union: Why are you defending the Poles when they took away your own rightful land in the Polish-Soviet war? They are nothing but straight up trouble makers and a city without them is the best enviroment to live in for our people. I hope you re-consider your decision and eventually do agree to sign a non-aggression pact.
*** Portugal: We support you in the war against the foolish african nations of Angola and Mozambique. We also hope we could improve our relations.
*** Events:
*** The aftermath of the Polish shooting in Kaunas: Dictator Algirdas Sliesoraitis made a public speech regarding the attack by the Poles in Kaunas. One quote from the speech was: "The Polish nationality is a virus to the Baltic people and the Baltic country and we shall get rid of it as soon and as effective as possible, for I promise a pole-free society in this great country of the Baltic. We shall never forgive the scum polish that murdered our Lithuanians, our Latvians and our Estonians. We will do anything avenge our Balts, even if it means going to war, for we shall fight for our motherland, our soil, our history, our dignity, our pride and our soul. May the victims of the Kaunas shooting rest in peace." Since the dictator paid so much attention to this event, it is feared that this might be used as a pretext to declare war.

We will try our best to block a fascist takeover, however we fear that not fascists, but other forces will take us down. [Secret]

**Public Hatred: Even more public outcry and hatred is aimed at the government. It is estimated that 90% of the population hates the establishments of both parties and the government.
**Conservative Party: On November 5th, a group of former Liberal politicians came together to form the Conservative Party, a more centrist version of the now radicalized Liberals (now Nationalists). Some centrists of the County party have also joined. It is too early to tell if this party will see any success.
