[B]Baltia - Overpain[/B]
Government Type: National Socialism
Current Head of State: "Perkunas"
Population: 60M
Military Strength: 820K (1M)
Economic Efficiency: 65%
Stability: 80%
Status: Utilizing temporary peacetime, the nation focuses on civil and diplomatic matters. The Ukrainians are recognized as citizens as well as survivors of the Gotland attack, and efforts are made to provide housing to the latter. A national database is launched, providing surprisingly unbiased and free information to citizens throughout the nation. Ironically, the Ukrainians and Belorussians refuse to use the service, instead opting to rely on often-misleading hearsay.
Economy: Unemployed citizens throughout the south are warned to find a job within a week or be placed into work programs. Although many try, very few are able to find work in time for the deadline, resulting in protests throughout the Ukraine. Large mobs of young men and women are forcibly dispersed from city squares, and many end up imprisoned in labor camps. The rest enter work programs and begin manufacturing basic goods and building civilian and defense infrastructure. Unemployment falls quickly.
Military: Finally resupplied and fully manned along the front, Baltia is set to receive the joint offensive of Sparta and Macedonia when a ceasefire is announced. On the surface, the troops seem dejected at not having the chance to defeat their foes, but secretly, many of them are thankful for a break from the near constant warfare. Throughout the year, recognition is paid to the honorable and losses are recouped, returning the forces to 82% strength. The southern borders are fortified for long-term defense. Elsewhere, ICBM production continues, filling all sixteen currently-available silos. New "personal survival equipment" is researched, hoping to save soldiers from death under gas or biological attack, and a new type of vibration-sensitive tracking equipment which can be used to track hostile army movement on a unit-by-unit level.
Diplomacy: Facing the prospect of a major escalation in the war against Mardylonyea, both sides agree to diplomatic talks to end the war. This triggers a cease-fire with Macedonia and Sparta. Despite suffering heavy losses, the Baltians are clearly in a better strategic position, and they successfully negotiate not only a return to original borders, but a nullification of the city state Odessa's annexation to Mardylonyea. The armies of Sparta and Macedonia, outraged by the decision, relocate to the far-east, into uncontrolled territory on Baltia's border, in case hostilities break out again. The Baltian government attempts to renew talks with Finland for annexation, but Baltian diplomats are expelled from Russia as a warning. Finland again refuses to commit, although opinion polling shows popular support for annexation. Baltia also praises West Slavia for staying neutral, possibly expediting the peace process. The year ends with a proclamation recognizing the Confederacy as a legitimate political entity.

[B]Centralist Berber Republic - Satansick[/B]
Government Type: Military Dictatorship
Current Head of State: General Ishaq Hannibal
Population: 90M
Military Strength: 1.2M
Economic Efficiency: 40%
Stability: 100%
Status: The government changes the name of the country from "Alliance" to "Republic."
Economy: A 5% value-added tax is introduced with the primary goal of indexing nationwide consumption and creating a statistical base for economic controls. The policy is difficult to enforce in tribal areas, so the government exempts them, especially since they are self-sustaining and would offer little in terms of information gained. After news breaks of the failed importation of "Inter-net" technology, a host of telecommunications companies step up and try to win the government's attention. A Tunisian manufacturer of magnetic data tape earns a contract to develop a stop-gap solution, in which a data-tape is played as audio after being modulated through an encryption device, sent through telephone or radio networks, and eventually decoded and written to another data-tape elsewhere. The Romans show interest in this new technology, called "Datacast." The Republic continues to try to recreate the internet while this goes on.
Military: The military's white-paper for 1975 includes the nation's first jet-equipped aircraft carrier. An offer is immediately received from Sparta in which the latter would provide advisers in exchange for a second carrier, since the Spartans' shore facilities in Greece have suffered damages. The nations agree on the arrangement, and two sister carriers are constructed over the course of the year using Spartan blueprints. In late Autumn, the Berber carrier is launched. In early Winter, the second carrier is delivered to the Spartan navy, which purchases it under a three year payment plan.
Diplomacy: An offer is made to the Roman Federation to join in an alliance with the Republic and the West Iberian Empire. The Federation agrees after British paratroopers seize control of Malta and later land on Sicily.

[B]Nazi Dictatorship of Northern France - Eli45[/B]
Government Type: Fascist Dictatorship
Current Head of State: Messire Jean Walter
Population: 25M
Military Strength: 298K (300K)
Economic Efficiency: 80%
Stability: 100%
Status: The French begin work on a new rocket, to be used as both an ICBM and a space-launch vehicle. The rocket is named Programme de Fusée, and the capsule project is named Homme Transportant Programme de Fusée, PDM.I and HTPDF.I for short, respectively.
Economy: Grants are provided for low-income students and infrastructure is improved along the coast. Neither do much to improve the economy, but the public seems to approve.
Military: A detachment of French troops assist Confederates on an attack on the Roosevelt Line and are summarily crushed in the first major US victory in two years. Allied armor becomes bogged down in discreet traps and disabled by landmines, leading to disproportionate usage of infantry and IFVs, which are all too vulnerable to enemy artillery strikes. In addition, Flamant II and Mirage V aircraft are shot down at a high-rate. Within a week, the offensive is called off to conserve strength. Elsewhere, the majority of the French navy is re-stationed in Bordeaux. A new counter-terrorism unit, GIGN, is founded with the intent to aid police departments in the event of a bomb threat.
Diplomacy: A Frenchman armed with a unique pistol made from plastic pieces is arrested while attempting to infiltrate a broadcasting station where Spartan leader Ptolemy is scheduled to give a speech. The man fails to commit suicide as planned, and is held for questioning. Within days, however, the Western Powers sign a ceasefire with Sparta and Macedonia, largely making the assassination attempt irrelevant, and the would-be shooter is executed during the summer.

[B]Most Serene Republic of Iceland - Ruskie[/B]
Government Type: Parliamentary Republic
Current Head of State: President Kristján Eldjárn
Population: 400K
Military Strength: 10K
Economic Efficiency: 125%
Stability: 100%
Status: Parliament votes to fast-track Scottish citizenship, bringing relief to hundreds of families.
Economy: A computer manufacturer announces the creation of a "personal data storage solution," a small paper envelope with a thin disk of magnetic film inside. This novel creation, colloquially known as a "floppy disk" allows for operators of personal computers to trade data with each other, and allows for the distribution of software. The University of Iceland begins releasing beta-builds of a standardized operating system, which the government purchases and publishes as the Icelandic State Disk Operating System.
Military: Muscovite jet purchases continue to fill the ranks of the Icelandic Air Force.
Diplomacy: Efforts are made to increase ties with the Polish Empire, Germany, and Muscovy. Iceland's constant reassurance that it's everybody's friend makes everyone a bit uncomfortable. Republic ships dock in Narvik, Norway, and discuss economic opportunities with the local trade unions. The city agrees to trade primarily with Iceland and Germany. Iceland attempts to do the same in the Bask region of northern Spain, but Iberian nationalists in the area angrily expel the Nordic foreigners.

[B]Mardylonyea Union - IPK[/B]
Government Type: Social Democracy
Current Head of the State: Slavman Grugmaryn
Population: 60M
Military Strength: 600K (650K)
Economic Efficiency: 70%
Stability: 90%
Status: The public is entirely confused over its government's decision to commit wholly to a war one year and then sign a disadvantageous peace treaty the next. Protests erupt all over.
Economy: Efforts are taken to reduce income inequality, with little notable results.
Military: Short on ammunition and rifles, the Mardylonyeans fear a counteroffensive in the east, while simultaneously hoping for a Spartan/Macedonian offensive in the west. Before any more blood can be spilled, the two alliances come to talks and agree not to risk any more catastrophes.
Diplomacy: A peace treaty is signed with Baltia, handing over control of Odessa in exchange for peace.
[IMG]http://oi47.tinypic.com/2rzw5td.jpg[/IMG]
[B]Republic of West Slavia - Damian0358[/B]
Government Type: Parliamentary Republic
Current Head of State: Prime Minister Jan Jaromír
Population: 60M
Military Strength: 600K
Economic Efficiency: 105%
Stability: 90%
Status: Prime Minister Jaromír gives a speech about the war in the east, pleading for Europeans to stand united against the mass violence of world politics. He is later praised for the actions he took in response to the Mardylonyean invasion of Baltia, and for the message he gave in the speech. It is fair to say that Jaromír is the most respected European leader.
Economy: Economic ties with the Romans and the Germans are improved. Nothing else worth reporting occurs.
Military: A new carbine rifle is developed from the currently-used assault rifle. It is produced in small numbers and appears in bases across the country before the end of the year.
Diplomacy: In a closed-door conference with the Poles and the Slavic Empire, the nations discuss terms for uniting the governments of the Slavic Alliance. The Polish monarchy refuses to back a union with West Slavia, but the Slavic Empire's Consul declares he will step down if the public supports annexation. An cessation of hostilities in the east boosts support for Pan-Slavism, and the Slavic Empire votes 57%-42% in favor of annexation. The union is set to occur in 1976, at which point West Slavia will become the Slavic Federation. Germany is asked for an alliance, but this is turned down out of concern over the war to the east. A similar proposal was planned for the Romans, but the latter's joining of the Berber-Iberian alliance cancels the offer.

[B]United Kingdom - Kriegsmarine[/B]
Government Type : National Socialism
Current Head of State: Sir Charles Lancewright
Population: 76M
Military Strength: 890K (900K)
Economic Efficiency: 85%
Stability: 80%
Status: The military works with schools to produce youth programs, and attempts to obliterate liberal thinking. At this point however, the upcoming generation is already filled to the brim with hateful thoughts and feelings towards a wide assortment of enemies of the state.
Economy: Careful rebuilding of the Scottish economy takes place, with a heavy focus on environmental preservation. Unemployment falls as security rises. Taxes are dropped temporarily in Canada and the Italian islands.
Military: New divisions of "Air Cavalry" are formed, using high-speed helicopters armed with antitank missiles and high-speed machine guns. In Scotland, the FSS is hit by the main force of the army, and is scattered into the rural north, where they are pursued by mountain troops and motorized infantry. Although UK losses are miniscule, it is unknown how close the FSS is to defeat. The UK intervenes in the former Socialista Unito by dropping paratroopers onto the island of Malta. After six days of chaos, during which the strongmen warring over the island turned their forces unsuccessfully against the British, the UK gains control of the island. They then deploy to Sicily, much to the chagrin of the Roman Federation, which feels that Britain is abusing its ceasefire with the Spartans to capture land in the Mediterranean. The UK also sends troops to the entrance of the Hudson Bay in the region of Canada, and seizes control. The British Navy refuses to allow any ships to enter the bay aside from commercial shipping.
Diplomacy: The UK, on behalf of the Western Powers, signs a ceasefire with Sparta and Macedonia to aid in the peace agreement between Baltia and Mardylonyea. Diplomats make efforts to improve relations with the Nordic Reich and the rest of Scandinavia.

[B]United States - Diago21[/B]
Government Type - Democratic Republic
Current Head of State: President Hubert Humphrey
Population: 70M
Military Strength: 750K (1M)
Economic Efficiency: 90%
Stability: 70%
Status: NASA funding is increased greatly after the administration holds a top-secret meeting with the leaders of Congress. President Humphrey announces that NASA will be attempting a manned lunar landing in 1976, the USA's bicentennial year. A large rocket begins construction- the Saturn IB, which is intended to carry a Gemini capsule to circle the moon in the following year, followed by a landing attempt utilizing a small craft called Gemini-Spider. Public opinion is divided on this endeavor, and is still very critical of the Humphrey administration for its handling of the war, but the Columbia Raid bolsters morale.
Economy: The stock market tumbles as numerous US businesses relocate to Montreal and Iceland to escape perceived insecurity. The US responds by tightening air-security both by flying more sorties and by increasing airport security measures.
Military: After repelling several attacks on the Roosevelt line, the US begins a heavy bombing campaign of the Confederate lines, concentrating all firepower on the Kentucky territory's border. The Confederates hurriedly move troops to the surrounding area, waiting for the US offensive to commence. However, none comes. Instead, a hard hook comes from an aircraft carrier positioned offshore, and the decreased number of southern jets in the area allows the US to crater several airfields in the region of South Carolina. This is followed by a nighttime raid on the city of Columbia, site of the laboratory responsible for creating the "Inter-net," involving helicopter-insertion and air-dropped Sheridan tanks. The operation lasts for ten hours, during which dozens of documents and computer components are stolen from the lab and smuggled out on helicopters.
Diplomacy: Relations are improved with Montreal as the US makes efforts to encourage dual-citizenship.

[B]Guidelines for Turns and Sign-up:[/B]
1. If you want a country, send me a PM with that nation's name, its current head of state, government type, location, and a flag with dimensions close to 250x150. Or you can just take one of the NPCs.
2. Be descriptive when you send in turns. It's important.
3. Message me about alliances. Both parties must message me about it, or I will not put it into the turn.

-snip- apparently kriegs signed a ceasefire with sparta for our whole alliance without telling me that it was for all of us.
One slight problem Sega, the peace deal was between me Sparta and the other thing. Not on behalf of the Alliance.
The only nation the other Western Powers went to peace with was IPK I think.
In any event it wasn't really "peace" anyways, were still at war however in a ceasefire to talk about peace. (Think North and South Korea).

Just to clarify to everyone, The Western Powers are still at war against Sparta and Macedonia, but have agreed to a ceasefire for 1975 to allow for troops stationed in Mardylonyea to move to neutral territory. On top of this, Kriegs needed the ceasefire to allow him to gain control of the island of Malta, which France assisted. Therefore, France also needed the ceasefire to make that possible.
If I had interpreted it as just a ceasefire between UK and those countries above, Baltia would be fighting them on Mardylonyean territory which would have negated the treaty, and the French would have lost planes in the Mediterranean, possibly negating the ceasefire and screwing Kriegs over.

[QUOTE=Satansick;39549213]The UK needs to leave the Mediterranean alone.[/QUOTE]
In actuality, your little stunt with blocking straight forced me into the Mediterranean. If you allowed us to simply come and go this conflict would have been good and done by now, but instead I have to establish land territory in the Mediterranean as a FOB in the conflict which is in that region, and also to be part of a multi-regional nation with property in the Mediterranean to afford a possible Casus Belli if so needed to force the straight (Which I really don't want to do). You've brought about more hostilities and conflict with this than I think was intended.
Also, France whom is an ally of mine, is a Mediterranean nation which brings me into Mediterranean affairs involving him. This war would be one of those affairs.
