Stellaris - Machine Age Earth Event Chain

In Stellaris Paradox Interactive has scripted Earth to spawn as a Pre-FTL civilization in one of it's developmental ages. If Earth spawns as a Machine Age Pre-FTL civilizaiton it will be a Fanatic Militarist and Materialist one in the middle of a world wide war. The armies of the US, USSR, Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan will spawn with it and if the world where invaded all four would fight off the invaders. A pop-up will inform the player of the Earth's curent state.

I think it would be interesting to allow for some more interaction.

## Passive Observation

Passively Observing Machine Age Earth will allow one to get notifications of important events during the World War, specifically with the bombing of Hiroshima by the United States bringing Earth into the Atomic Age. The Atomic Age, if Earth doesn't turn into a tomb world through Nuclear War, will advance into the Early Space Age with the flight of Gagarin of the USSR. A notification of the Moonlanding on Sol IIIa will follow a few years latter and the building of the ISS. After that the notificaitons will end and eventually Earth should achieve FTL.

## Active Studies

Some chance for a few events allowing for the observing Empire to learn a great deal more about the World War on SOl III. They are primarily flavor events that tell a little bit of history. There is a small chance this deep study will move the Head of Observations on Sol III to request an intervention.

## Unrestricted Studies

With the Unrestricted Studies policy the Head of Observations on Sol III will propose an active interference in the global war. The Head of Observations will argue that the state of war and the various propaganda agencies at work on Earth makes an indoctrination misison difficult and infiltration even harder due to the general state of hieghtened security. Their proposal it to covertly assist one of the international factions or a specific nation that suits the observer's ethical guidelines. This assistance would involve the abduction of military leaders to remove them from the war and the destruction of isolated military units. One can reply simply that Sol III would do better under the Observer's rule and have an assault army issued the mission to invade thus averting the event chain and bringing Earth under the Observer's rule if the army is successful. Approving of the plan proposed by the Head of Observations on Sol III will lead to the following;

### The Observer's Plan

#### Axis and Allies

The Obervation Post reports that the two sides of the war on Sol III can be defined as Authoritarian and Egalitarian though their primative political understandings have allowed for some overlapping between those. Militarized economies and war time domestic measures has further muddled the lines but listening to the propaganda of the two factions; the Axis and the Allies has allowed the Observation team to determine the ideologies at conflict. The Axis are Authoritarian and thier main armies are those of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. The Allies are what we would call Egalitarian and thier main armies are those of the United States and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

We can assist the factions broadly or aid a specific nation.

* Fanatic Authoritairan - A broad assistance will not draw as much attention. The Axis shall have our support.
* Fanatic Egalitarian - We shall aid equality and the rights of the people over the few. The Allies shall have our support.
* (Is Neither) Let us be selective, our aim is to influence this world's development.

### Being Selective

We can influence this world's future the most by aiding one of the four major powers on Sol III. Imperial Japan seems hegemonic in mentality and has a mixture of spirituality and devotion around it's Imperial monarch. Nazi Germany is dictatorial and xenophobic with our observors having found sights of active purges with in it's territory. The USSR while built upon strong idealistic egalitarian values seems to have fallen a little from those in the war time enviroment. Forced labor and an almost oligarchic government has been reported. A communalization of agriculture seems to be the most enduring aspect of it's utopian dream in this war. Suppression of the Spiritual has been noted. The United States is democratic and while many have come to it as the land of the free it has some xenophobic elements within it's political factions. Though largely of an isolationist mentality more than the supremacist one observed with Nazi Germany. A spirituality is wide spread in the United State's southern territories.

* We shall support Imperial Japan.
* We shall support Nazi Germany.
* We shall support the USSR.
* We shall support the United States.
