China would be thrilled to share this glory with the Russian Federation.
** Russia agrees to this proposal, and requests the mixed use of Chinese rocketry and Russian technology. This is due to Russian Soyuz rockets being unable to launch manned Soyuz spacecraft to this orbital height, and lack of heat shield technology to reenter the atmosphere from this height.

* China places multiple embargos on Facist Greece.

* To clarify our request, we say that in 1945, we signed a treaty which included to disband our military and replace it with a self-defense force. However, with the growing nationalism in Japan, we would like to restore our old military, but we would follow international law.
** The United States understands that Japan is speaking of this treaty. The United States will take a moment to study the treaty and develop an informed response to Japan.
* To Japan: the United States has read the "Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan". Its understanding is that Japan's military was, in fact, dismantled and replaced by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, which is the default army as of today. The aforementioned treaty also states that the United States was authorized to increase their own military presence in Japan to monitor the post-war transition to peace and prevent any retrogression to the nationalism that compelled Japan's actions from ~1930 to 1945. US military bases were built throughout Japan as a peace-keeping measure to ensure that what occurred in East Asia before and during the Second World War would not happen again. Moreover, any attack on Japanese soil by an external force would be considered a threat to both Japan and the United States, and both nations would be required to meet that threat as one force. It is, however, important to remember that Article 1 of the treaty requires that all disputes must be resolved with peace first and that war will be reserved as a last option when all other options have failed. The United States concludes that rising nationalism in Japan could be a threat to the region and reducing military presence in Japan, as well as allowing Japan to reestablish its military, would be too risky. The United States will continue to carefully observe the situation.

The reason for the massive jump in popularity of the communist party of Russia is generally awarded to the assassination of Vladimir Putin in the previous year, and the destabilization of the United Russia Party.

​Mod Event: The Greek Old Royal Palace is stormed by thousands in early January. With all parliamentary leaders in exile, the protestors of Athens officially deem the government 'overthrown'. In the fascist government's place, a democratic government is established. With the establishment of the new government, Greece is broken into three sovereign divisions. Ostmakedonien, Makedonien, and the People's Republic of Greece. Although the governmental systems of the three divisions are based on European political mechanics, a harsh attitude towards the European Union is kept within the majority of the public. Much of the public blame European sanctions as reason for the Greek collapse. A reintroduction of Greece into the European Union is denied by all three governments.

In a public statement, the head of Roscosmos states that "Russia's future glory in space lies within Asia. Our recent integration with the Chinese National Space Agency and their Tiangong 2 Station transcends all possible collaboration with the United States. Russian technology can accomplish any feat of space exploration, all without international aid."
*** The United States is not asking to give Russia international aid, just to explore space together. "This is not a matter of assistance nor is this a matter of diplomacy," the President says in a private phone call to Gen. Sec. Zyuganov. "This is just a matter of achieving Man's destiny in two ways: 1) leaving differences aside and uniting Earth, and 2) proceeding to leave Earth." The United States feels that Russia's future glory in space does not lie in Asia, it lies outside of Earth. Despite any differences the US, Russia, and China have on Earth, they all can be forgotten in space.
**** Russia expresses that space exploration is among the most important aspects of its national agenda, but, it is also among the most expensive. The United States has continuously sanctioned the Russian Federation throughout the decade, deteriorating our economy. Russia sees no future in which it will provide the United States with financial contribution in the exploration of space. "One thing that cannot be forgotten in space is earth bound finances." says General Secretary Zyuganov. Diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia have been damaged, and will not be forgiven.
***** Again, the United States is not asking to make any contributions of any kind. Not through aid, or money, or manpower. Zero US dollars and zero US cents were on the table, ready for delivery to Russia. But the United States understands and respects Russia's wishes, and "hopes to see them up there".
* The United States government gives NASA an enormous boost in funding following their current success in returning to the Moon and plans for the future. Moreover, public support for NASA and space exploration reach levels that have not been seen since 1969.

"Much of these new funds will go to the manned lunar landing, but most will go to what we have planned afterwards."

The elements of the former Greek Army put up minor resistance, but were quickly destroyed by the combined land and air forces. Several Bulgarian Navy ships arrived from the Black Sea to eliminate the states' naval elements. The two regions are occupied, and a new government of Greeks is established, backed by Bulgaria, the State of East Macedonia. However, it is an autonomous province of Bulgaria.

Mod Event: A massive 8.4 earthquake hits upon the San Andreas Fault, near the city of Los Angeles. The earthquake devastates Los Angeles, destroying infrastructure, transportation, and human life. Most highway overpasses collapse throughout the city, while poorly built slums suffer the worst damage and life loss. The earthquake, within the first day, becomes the deadliest earthquake in American history, claiming the lives of over 10,000. Within the week, fires and building collapse cause over 100 more fatalities. The economy of California and the United States experiences massive backlash from the devastation of Los Angeles.
* Brazil volunteers fly to California to aid survivors and give support.
* China begins to send finances to India.
* China continues to improve living conditions, medical policies, and their Armed Forces.
* China begins to fund Burmese rebels and sends them munitions and arms. China sends diplomats and military officials to aid the rebels and promote communism.
* India continues strengthening its military, also lowering the minimum military entrance age to sixteen. The vote to abolish the caste system passes, due to the large number of lower-caste voters. Many new factories are built, providing jobs and helping to slightly bolster the economy through exports. The government offers several low-paying labor jobs to India's unemployed and homeless, building and maintaining transportation systems and public buildings.
* Spain sends over 4 million euros (equivalent to 5,074,700 USD) and supplies to help with the earthquake relief.
* In response to the LA earthquake and its economic fallout, the President issues an executive order implementing a work program that will pay volunteers (at an hourly rate, ten cents above minimum wage) to help clean up Los Angeles via the National Guard, Red Cross, and other organizations. The United States uses the international aid to supply both the actual cleaning materials and the workers. The work program is a major success: unemployment rates drop and more money is placed in the pockets of the general public. Much of the economic damage suffered from the earthquake is mitigated. There is still damage, but it shows signs of improvement by the end of the year.
* As a result of the LA earthquake, Hollywood and the American film industry make a slow migration out of California. It appears to head northwards to Washington state, with most of it concentrated outside of Seattle and the rest centered on the border near Portland, Oregon.
=== 2021 ===
* NASA has made a manned landing on the Moon, after engine failures on one of the orbital crews forced them to make an emergency landing on the lunar surface. Two of the four orbital crews successfully orbited the Moon throughout spring 2021. The third crew, however, reported sudden oxygen and fuel loss on one of its main engines while in orbit around the Moon. NASA ordered them to land, fearing that they would crash, and manage a repair as best they could. The fourth orbital crew was sent out to assist them with repairs, food, and oxygen. After a nine day effort to make repairs, the third orbital crew's ship was eventually left on the Moon since no repairs could be made. They piggy backed their way home with the fourth orbital crew, and all astronauts returned home safely to Earth.  The landing crew scheduled to make the first lunar landing next year is still set to go, but they will no longer be the first. These events become known as "the Miracle on the Moon".
* Romania is still developing Maglev technology. It will provide extremely fast public transport. They have asked The Republic of Bulgaria if, when the tech is fully developed, we could begin work on a train from Bucharest to Sofia.
* Thailand's rebels in Burma end the war with the capture of the capital in late December. We take control of the land of the land mass of Burma and begins giving welfare to the poor people.

Lastly we rename ourselves Khmer.
* We inquire about the results of the Northern Ireland referendum we also finish our transition into a Socialist State.
* The INCP have been making propaganda about how Muslims are evil and how Atheists are nothing but infidels. The INCP have arranged the executions of several non Christian people around all of Iceland. The population is starting to disagree with what the INCP are doing. Iceland starts developing more drones and reaches a population of about 350,000 people over all for this year.
** Russia immediately ends all support and financial funding of the communist party of Iceland. The acts of execution are seen, throughout Russia, as non-communistic and sick. Russia, by the end of the year, begins heavy sanctions of the Icelandic government.
** Ireland places heavy sanctions and largens its embargo on Iceland, siding with Russia on how Iceland is a non-Communist country. We call for a overthrow of government
** The United States announces an embargo on Iceland and pulls all its ambassadors out of Reykjavik, calling the actions of Iceland "sick and depraved".
** (TOP SECRET) The CIA begins working with pro-democratic political parties in Iceland to stage an overthrow of the current Communist government.

* The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency sends a shuttle to the Moon.
Mod Event: The long overdue Irish Unification Referendum is permitted and held by the United Kingdom on September 4, 2021. The referendum's results return in favour of Irish unification with 51% of voting individuals wishing for the unification of Northern Ireland and Ireland. The official unification of the island will occur on January 2, 2022.
* The United States congratulates Ireland on a peaceful reunion and commends "their ability to change borders with peace and democracy instead of warfare and bloodshed".
* NASA's Orion II craft successfully captures and orbits an asteroid. They announce that twenty more astronauts have begun training to orbit and land on asteroids, as well as more manned Moon landings. Their schedule for next year is presented as such: January - February: 3 more capturing of asteroids. March 26, Orion II launches a crew to land on the Moon. They are scheduled to land March 29-30, will launch back home on April 2-3, and land on April 6-7. April - May: 3 more capturing of asteroids. June 8, a manned Orion II craft will launch and attempt to orbit an asteroid. Three more orbital crews will make the same attempts until November. November 17, Orion II will make its final launch and send another manned crew to the Moon, with arrival around November 20-21, and return home around November 26-27. NASA will use the Orion III from 2022 until 2025.
* Iceland has reported the assassinations of certain INCP members and the repealing of several religious hate laws. The INCP hopes to reestablish trade with China, Russia, and Ireland once again. It is believed that the INCP split into to two different parties, The INCP, and the Icelandic Christian National Communist Party, or the ICNCP.
* Finland seizes the Kola Peninsula and Karelo-Finland from Russia.
* Ecuadorian rebels take over Ecuador's Government with the support of Brazil, and join the SAF, Chili and Peru elect to join shortly after the SAF victory. Columbia is still undecided on the matter, and Argentina is hostile twords the SAF, backed by Venezuela.
* A massive coup attempt by the Communist Party of Spain goes horribly wrong with only 50 deaths but over 7,000 people are arrested. In response to this the Spanish government disbands the party altogether and imposes several strict anti-communist laws.

* NASA has one of its most successful years in over half a century. Two more manned crews landed on the Moon and returned home safely, unmanned Orion II crafts captured and orbited a total of six asteroids, and (their biggest achievement) three manned crews captured and orbited asteroids. Public support for NASA continues to skyrocket (no pun intended). NASA announces that next year, a manned crew will attempt to land on an asteroid and return home safely.
* NASA announces that from 2023-2028, a series of new Mars rovers will be launched to examine the Red Planet. (TOP SECRET) Several of these rovers will land on the Moon, launch off to an asteroid, and then rendezvous with Mars in an attempt to chart the best possible route for future manned Mars missions.
* NASA announces that three more manned crews will land on the Moon next year. (TOP SECRET) These three crews will begin building outposts for refueling and resupplying of future manned Mars missions.
Mod Event: 2022 FIFA world cup, Brazil wins aganist Germany 5-4. Brazil won aganist Germany 20 years ago, and the first time both teams compete and the same outcome since West Germany won against Argentina in 1990.
* Iceland starts trying to form certain sports teams and starts to build the Icelandic sports stadium, as a tourist attraction and an increased governmental revenue through sports
* China improves its economy, living conditions, medical care, and trains medical workers on the handling of outbreaks and sanitary precautions. China continues to improve its military, with more recruitment operations throughout all of China. Produces more armored vehicles, submarines, destroyers, aircraft, and after almost three years of construction, China's new 220 Meter long aircraft carrier project is finally finished, and the carrier will be fit for service by next year.
* Germany continues to build up its military in the early half of the year. In November recently elected Chancellor Tobias Hoefler gave a speech on the need for diplomacy and a strong hold on the military. In the middle of the speech a shot was fired from the crowd into Hoefler's chest. The gunman screamed "Eine kostenlose Bayern ist der einzige Bayern!" He then shot himself in the head, killing himself. He was identified as Wells Lange, a free Bavarian sympathizer and radical. Hofler's condition is still uncertain.
* Much of the protests in major metropolitan areas have quieted down in recent years due to the public's growing fascination with NASA's increasing success in outer space.
* (TOP SECRET) The CIA sends undercover agents into Germany disguised as German troops to gauge the extent of the German military buildup.
* Argentina, with the Brazilian victory in claiming the world cup to pour gasoline on the fire, are as hostile as they have ever been towards Brazil and the SAF. (SECRET) Brazil begins funding Pro-Federation organizations in Argentina, and secretly mobolizing there troops along their southern border. Brazil also plants agents in admenistrative positions through out the Argentinian government.
* Romania managed to get to the Round of 16, with 4 goals from Stancia to get them through. Their team has improved since their rethink of the grassroots of football. They hope to reach the final of Euro 28

We begin to line troops on the Laos border to prepare for a helpful aid. Our kings Rama IX dies of old age being the longest serving monarch on Earth and in Thailand his son is crowned Rama X. We begin to crush the rebellion in Pattini and move in to Malaysia to hunt down the rebels
=== 2023 ===
* China calls Thailand a third world country, and says that they should not try to expand too fast, or a more powerful pawn may place them in danger.
* China's new aircraft carrier, completed in 2022 is now fit for service and fully staffed.
* Self-driving cars are introduced and sold to the general public for the first time in the United States. They come with a hefty price tag but that does not deter people from buying them. The US government projects that the total sales of self-driving cars will overtake the total sales of manual-driven cars within the next fifty years, so long as the price lowers and demand increases.
* NASA successfully lands a manned crew on an asteroid via the Orion III, who become the first human beings to land on an asteroid. The President hails it as "the biggest step in space exploration taken since 1969". (TOP SECRET) The crew, in addition to exploring the asteroid and making notes on successful asteroid landings for future crews, works on a method to extract helium and other elements from asteroids. The method is not complete but will be built upon throughout the next manned landings.
* NASA successfully lands three more manned crews on the Moon. (TOP SECRET) These three crews separately work on a single refueling station in the Sea of Tranquility, dubbed "Apollo Base", that future manned crews heading to Mars will use to resupply fuel, oxygen, and other materials for their voyage.
* NASA launches three new Mars rovers in the spring, summer, and winter of 2023. The rover launched in spring, due to its launch date, is the only one to land. (TOP SECRET) This rover successfully hops from the Moon to an asteroid, then waits until the asteroid is in close proximity with Mars, then lands on Mars. NASA finds some issues with this plan, such as refueling and time taken, but overall thinks this might be a viable plan to send astronauts to Mars.
* Next year, NASA will land three more manned crews on an asteroid and three more manned crews on the Moon. (TOP SECRET) The asteroid crews will work on elemental extracting on asteroids, the lunar crews will work on Apollo Base. Furthermore, the final asteroid crew will attempt to land on the Moon and then launch off to an asteroid to give NASA an idea of what it would be like for manned crews to fly the same route the Mars rovers did.
* (TOP SECRET) NASA begins working on a new spacecraft that is specifically designed to carry men to Mars, which will be named the 'Armstrong' spacecraft after the late Neil Armstrong.
* The Bulgarian government agrees with Romania's proposal of building railways between the two nations, between Sofia and Bucharest. The government of Bulgaria also asks Romania whether or not they want to have closer military cooperation.
* At the same time, the Bulgarian National Football Team, in response to no major successes being made at FIFA, is given more funding to pay for better, more experienced coaches. This will hopefully result in better performances from the team.
* Meanwhile, the eastern Greek and Macedonian security forces are absorbed into the Bulgarian Armed Forces. The Land Forces and Air Force continue operations against militants on the border with Serbia and Kosovo (though Bulgaria recognizes Kosovo as a part of Serbia, not an independent state). The government has uncovered evidence that the Kosovar authorities are backing the militants. The Bulgarian Land Forces carry out operations against the terrorists, taking no prisoners.
* A national referendum is held and it is determined that the Bulgarian people want to again return to monarchism. A descendent of the Bulgarian royal family is crowned the Tsar, and elections are held for prime minister. The former president, leader of the nationalist Attack party, is elected for the post. The new Tsar promptly renames the state to Kingdom of Bulgaria.
* The new monarchist government decides to create a "Balkan Union" within the next several years, and invites all states of the Balkans region to join. States outside of it may get observer status.
* Romania agrees to Bulgaria's proposal of closer Military cooperation. They have also released the first prototype of their new maglev trains. Test runs will begin in 2024. The Bucharest to Sofia train track will begin construction in 2025 and hopefully be fully functioning by between 2028 and 2030.
* The Japanese Republican party merges with the Communist & Social Democratic party, the ruling Democratic party loses members to the Republican party. Opponents use the Bulgarian monarchy that "A former monarchy can become a monarchy again in the modern era".
* We send over 13,000 troops to overthrow the Icelandic Government. We improve our Military.
=== 2024 ===
* NASA lands three more manned crews on an asteroid. (TOP SECRET) These crews have made significant progress with asteroid mining and return home with helium and various metals. In addition, the final manned crew successfully visits the Moon first before landing on an asteroid. Their fuel is low from the extended journey, but they manage to mine materials necessary to create more fuel and return home safely.
* NASA lands three more manned crews on the Moon. (TOP SECRET) These crews work on Apollo Base and it is now more than halfway complete. NASA projects it will be completed by the end of 2026. A finished Apollo Base will be a series of 'buildings' that include food, oxygen, fuel, as well as materials that visitors can use to mine the Moon in the same way they mine asteroids. Again, all these materials are for manned missions to Mars, and they will be replenished as necessary by manned crews before a voyage to Mars.
* The two Mars rovers launched last year have successful landings. (TOP SECRET) Both hop from the Moon to an asteroid, then wait for the asteroid to reach a certain distance from Mars before launching. This provides further confirmation that this will be a viable route for manned crews headed to Mars.
* The Orion III spacecraft makes its final flight and will be succeeded by the Orion IV starting next year. The Orion IV will be in use from 2025 to 2028. (TOP SECRET) The Orion program's successor, the Armstrong program, is on track for completion by the time the Orion IV is retired. NASA schedules a test launch for 2025, with flights beyond Earth orbit possibly achieved the following year. If their tests are successful, NASA will declassify the Armstrong program and send a manned crew to the Moon via the Armstrong in 2027, and a manned crew to an asteroid possibly that same year or the next.
* (TOP SECRET) With success on the Moon and on asteroids, NASA sets their sights on Mars and begins a program called Project God of War. Six members of the asteroid landing and orbiting crews have been selected for a mission to orbit Mars, and begin training in spring 2024. NASA believes that the asteroid missions have given these astronauts the experience necessary to carry out an expedition to the Red Planet. NASA projects that with Apollo Base ready in 2025 or 2026 and asteroid mining completed around the same time, the astronauts could launch in late 2026 and achieve orbit in 2027. Because the Armstrong program is not complete yet, the orbital crew will fly on the Orion IV spacecraft (which will have advanced enough engines and fuel capacity to carry them to Mars, but not to land).
* (TOP SECRET) NZ offers to the US financial support for the space race and in return if the TSA gets created they allow us to use the base for our own purposes.
** NASA responds by saying that "we should wait until the TSA is operational before we make any promises, agreements, or guarantees".
* Prime Minister Banri Kaieda resigns due to low approval ratings, Natsuo Yamaguchi of the New Komeito party becomes Prime minister
* The Kingdom of Bulgaria receives permission from the Serbian government to bomb Kosovo security forces positions in Kosovo, as it is suspected that they are arming rebel groups in Bulgarian Macedonia. The Bulgarian Air Force deploys 20 Su-34 fighter bombers for the mission.
* (TOP SECRET) Finland funds a large starship to be sent to Jupiter to start colonies on the rings and moons, and also for hydrogen and helium mining.
* New Zealand orders 15 single-seater F-35Bs and 10 twin-seater F-35Bs as the new government re-creates the Air Combat Force. We propose to Australia that us two countries create the Tasman Space Agency (TSA) (Mod Response). We also propose to all Oceanic countries that we combine our navies and create the Oceanic Sea Force (OSF), the navy will be for duties in Anti-Piracy, peace keeping and coast-watch duties against illegal fishing vessels (. New Zealand calls for the 2025 Antarctic Treaty Conference to be held in Wellington. We also start building up our military and economy.
