Soviet Border Rectification

During the Allied Declaration of War step, the USSR has the option to make demands for territory from Finland and/or Rumania.

## Demands for Finnish Border Lands

Once per game, during the Allied Declaration of War step, if Finland is neutral, the USSR may claim the Finnish border lands. The German player decides whether the claim is accepted by Finland.

#### If Finland accepts the claim:

* Finland remains neutral
* The Finnish border lands become part of the USSR until the USSR controls no hex in the Finnish border lands, at which time they become Finnish again.
* The USSR may not declare war on Finland for the rest of the game.
* Germany may align Finland during any later Axis Declaration of War step.
* The USSR provides 1 fewer resource to Germany each turn.

#### Rejecting the Claim

* If Finland rejects the claim, the USSR immediately declares war on Finland.
* During the war, Germany may enforce peace between Finland and the USSR during any Peace step if all of the following are true:
	+ No hex of Finland outside the Finnish border lands contain any in-supply Soviet corps-sized land units, and
	+ Germany and the USSR are not at war

* If Germany enforces peace:
	+ Finland becomes neutral.
	+ The USSR gains control of all hexes it controlled at the start of the war that are currently Finnish-controlled (any Axis units occupying those hexes are placed on the production circle to arrive as reinforcements in 2 turns)
	+ The USSR gains control of the border lands exactly as if Finland had allowed the claim, as long as there is at least 1 USSR land unit in the border lands.
	+ Germany may align Finland during any later Axis Declaration of War step.
	+ The USSR may not declare war on Finland again.

## Demands for Bessarbia

Until the USSR makes claims to Bessarabia:

* no Allied major power may declare war on Rumania
* a neutral Hungary and/or Rumania may align with Germany if Germany controls at least one hex in Yugoslavia, or has declared war on the USSR (not if the USSR declares war on Germany)
* a neutral Bulgaria may align with Germany if Germany controls at least one hex in Greece or Yugoslavia

Once per game,during the Allied Declaration of War step, if Rumania is neutral, the USSR may claim Bessarabia. The German player decides if the claim is accepted or rejected.

If Rumania accepts the claim:

* Rumania remains neutral
* Bessarabia becomes part of the USSR until it controls no hex in Bessarabia, at which time it becomes part of Rumania again.
* No Allied major power may declare war on Rumania until the USSR is at war with Germany.
* The USSR provides 1 fewer resource to Germany each turn.
* During the next Axis Declaration of War step, Hungary and Bulgaria make demands on Rumania for Transylvania and South Dobruja, respectively.
	+ If Germany allows these claims:
		- Transylvania becomes part of Hungary and South Dobruja becomes part of Bulgaria.
		- Germany may align a neutral Hungary and/or Bulgaria during any later Axis Declaration of War step.
		- Germany may align Rumania during any Axis Declaration of War step in which France is conquered or Vichy France exists (including this step)
		- The USSR may align a neutral Rumania during any Allied Declaration of War step provided the USSR declared war on Germany (including this step)
	+ If Germany rejects these claims:
		- Hungary stops supplying its resource to Germany until it is aligned with Germany.
		- Germany may align a neutral Hungary and/or Bulgaria during any later Axis Declaration of War step after Germany declares war on the USSR.
		- No more than 1 Hungarian and 1 Bulgarian unit may ever be outside their home countries (if it is already so, place any excess units on the production circle to arrive as reinforcements in 2 turns).
		- The USSR may align a neutral BUlgaria during any Allied Declaration of War step after the USSR has declared war on Germany.
		- Germany may align a neutral Romania during any Axis Declaration of War step; Rumania does not need to keep at least half of its units in its home country.

### If Rumania rejects the claim:

* The USSR must declare war on Rumania this step.
* Germany may enforce peace between Rumania and the USSR during any Peace step if:
	+ no hex in Rumania (other than Bessarabia) contains any in-supply Soviet corps-sized land units,
	+ Germany and Italy are not at war.
	+ If Germany enforces peace:
		- Rumania becomes neutral
		- The USSR gains control of all hexes the USSR controlled at the start of the war that are currently Rumanian controlled (Axis units in those hexes are placed on the production circle to arrive as reinforcements in 2 turns)
		- The USSR gains control of Bessarabia provided there is a Soviet unit anywhere in Bessarabia
		- Germany may align a neutral Rumania, Hungary, and/or Bulgaria during any later Axis Declaration of War step
		- The uSSR may not declare war on Rumania again

While Rumania and the USSR are at war:

* Germany may align a neutral Hungary during any Axis Declaration of War step
* Bulgaria can not align with Germany or the USSR.

If the USSR conquers Rumania after claiming Rumania rejects their claim:

* Germany may align a neutral Hungary during any later Axis Declaration of War step
* Bulgaria may never align with Germany, but the USSR may align a neutral Bulgaria during any later Allied Declaration of War step.

While Rumania and the USSR are at war:

* Germany may align a neutral Hungary during any later Axis Declaration of War step
* Bulgaria can not align with Germany or the USSR.
