[B]Republic of France - Eli45[/B] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/3FJ0S0.png[/IMG] [I]Economic Strength: Elite - Military Strength: Above Average ↑ Military Morale: Strong ↑ Civilian Morale: Above Average ↑ International Respect: Elite ↑ Research Ability: Elite -[/I] -All troops have been pulled out of Mali at this point. -The AMX-56 Leclerc is upgraded with Chobham armour and this new variant is named the AMX-56B. The Leclerc is now an extremely formidable tank but is still behind the likes of the T-90 and M1A2. -A 360 degree 12.7mm machine gun is added to both variants of the AMX-56.

It is to employ a 90mm main cannon and coaxial 7.62x51mm machine gun. It uses Chobham armor without ERA and has a high horsepower engine and deeper treads to encourage speed and acceleration. It is anticipated to be put into service by 2018. -A new Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) begins being designed. It currently named the IAC I "Wolverine" and is equipped with a 30mm autocannon and a .50BMG coaxial. It also uses two 7.62x51 coaxial machine guns. Obligatory Chobham armor without ERA. Tracked instead of wheeled and same engine as the Stoat. It should be extremely speedy. It is likewise expected to be in service by 2018. -The new uniforms (designated Mk I "Arctic Fox" Self Contained Infantry Battledress (SCIB) are updated to replace the gas mask with a contained helmet with an opaque one-way-mirror. It has a built in radio and re-breather. It also contains a power pack and atmospheric regulator on the back to recharge gadgets in the field. It's expensive as shit. As is everything Canada is doing with their military right now. -Can't really begin production of the new vehicles since they're not quite ready for use. They've got a LOT of things that need to be fixed first. -Defunct military hardware is sold to the highest bidder (in this case quite a few shady organizations). More H&K and Bundeswehr gear is bought. -Tax breaks are given to smaller companies who cannot easily adjust to the new minimum wage. Many small companies still cannot afford the minimum wage and a large number of them begin going under. -The tax brackets are widened a bit.

A flat 10% federal sales tax is set on the sale of all goods, foodstuffs, services, fuels, lodgings, and entertainment. The people are pleased by this. The nations coffers are not. -Grants are given to the scientific research sector. Canada funds scientific projects but only those that Canada chooses.

The Ukraine demands that several Moldovian government officials step down. Moldova refuses and sends its own biting words right back at the Ukraine. Tensions are quickly rising. -Low-interest student loans are given out to science majors to help support the future of Ukraine's scientific center. Grants are given to art majors instead of loans. -The General Agenda for 2015-2020 is released. The Ukrainian government proclaims Eastern Europe "a sovereign region with a common past, a desire for prosperity, and a drive to defend against foreign influence. Many of the nations of Europe take worried note of the tone of the Ukraine in recent months. -President Yanukovych stats in a speech that the Ukraine will not join the EU due to "western interests dominating the Union". This shocking speech has unsettled many of the civilians of the Ukraine. -Yanukovych later explains in a separate speech that Eastern Europeans should reject foreign control of their economies. -Moldova is cited as a nation under control of foreign interests. President Yanukovych asks that the Ukrainian people stand against the oppression and exploitation of the Moldavian people. -The UN promptly tells the Ukraine to calm down the rhetoric.

It doesn't do much to offset the massive spending in Canada. -Medical nanobot research begins. Due to budget constraints these nanobots aren't expected to be viable until 2020. -A massive sale of AK74Ms occurs with the Ukraine. -Old Soviet weaponry and vehicles are sold to the highest bidder. -A deal named the "Canadian and Russian Maple Syrup and Vodka Concordat" is signed. Russia and Canada work together to create a blend of vodka and maple syrup. -Russia warns away of any foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War.
