Current estimates put the death toll at over 183,000, and over 70,000 are considered infected and dangerous. A large number of refugees begin fleeing the nation as the Sierra Leonese government outright collapses, the president having gone missing - In nearby Guinea, refugees from Sierra Leone begin arriving in droves, some of them carrying the infection, others being chased by packs of already “turned” individuals. Thousands are rapidly being killed or infected, and the situation is spiraling out of control - The refugee crisis in Europe enters a new stage. Millions of displaced peoples from Syria, Iraq, Kurdistan and Afghanistan are now forced to choose between returning to their homeland or staying in a place unfamiliar to them. Many choose the latter, and tensions skyrocket amongst the local and foreign-born populations - [highlight]North Korean coastal artillery fires upon a series of South Korean patrol craft.[/highlight] 4 South Korean sailors are killed, and the patrol craft sunk. The survivors are picked up by Japanese coast guard, and avoid being captured by North Koreans. The tensions in the region rise as the RoK’s army moves to the border in preparation for war - Tensions rise along the US-Mexico border as American president Donald Trump institutes the American Safety Restoration Act, or ASRA for short, that sees the immediate deportation of any and all known illegal immigrants. Alongside this, significant amounts of money are dumped into the creation of ‘The Wall’, which for the most part is just a large fence with cameras. However, much to California’s chagrin, a 4 meter tall concrete wall topped with razor wire, with 3 meter deep pits on either side, begins construction, measuring over 140 miles - A terror attack takes place in Tehran, killing 30 and wounding over 100. Kurdish separatists are to blame, and the Iranian government cracks down on Kurdish majority areas within their nation. This comes as more and more Kurdish nationals begin running guns to their brothers in Iran - Indian police bust an arms trafficking ring linked to the group Lashkar-e-Taiba, the perpetrators of the vicious 2008 Mumbai attacks. In a shootout, 8 militants and 2 police officers are killed, but over 500 rifles and handguns are seized after the fighting. Tensions between Pakistan and India skyrocket as the guns clearly come from Pakistani sellers[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/L1gm467.png[/img] - Cuba turns its arms outwards to embrace the world. Somewhat. Cuban diplomats meet in Beijing to discuss further trade options between the two communist states, and the two agree to a trade deal to take place in the middle half of the year. Known as the “Beijing-Havana Accords”, Cuba will benefit massively from Chinese imports, while the Chinese will have a protectorate on a completely separate continent - From China, thousands of pigs and cattle are shipped, alongside modern agricultural machinery that can assist with Cuba’s ailing farming communities. These GMO livestock are extremely valuable, as they are fatter and generally healthier than anything the Cubans can put out - Alongside receiving foodstuffs and tools from the Chinese, 5 DF-21 missiles are purchased and loaded onto launchers on the northern half of the country. In the event of an excursion from a certain unfriendly country, the Cubans could respond with some of the fastest and most powerful “ship killers” on the market - Finally, a joint exercise between the Cubans and Chinese is held. The wargame focuses on Cubans defending a beachhead, while the Chinese launch an assault. Both sides learn important details of rapid deployment and the logistics of taking/holding a beach. This worries Taiwanese and American officials - At home, Castro introduces a series of reforms that focus on the use of renewable energy. Using solar panels purchased from China and Japan, Cuba attempts to utilize the tropical aspects of their tropical island to their fullest extent. With 94% of the grid relying on fossil fuels, Castro understands that the situation is untenable, and must be fixed - Raids take place within the police force, carried out by military agents. 740 policemen are arrested for corruption charges after a gigantic investigation reveals ties that run deep in the Cuban police forces. 18 of the police are executed, and the rest deported to the United States, as their connections to cocaine smuggling could mean a lucrative tradeoff between America and Cuba in the future - Following in the footsteps of western nations, Cuban researchers unveil a newer model of solar paneling. These panels are flexible and can be bent around an object almost 20 degrees more than the base panels, allowing them to be “molded” onto surfaces such as the corners of buildings in order to maximise efficiency[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/NR57oIL.png[/img] - The Japanese government institutes an outright ban on travel to/from western Africa. Japanese citizens returning from the region are given nearly a month’s isolation and intense medical checks to ensure that any disease is not brought into one of the most densely populated regions on the planet - In a shocking turn of events, Japan outright apologises for the actions of their forefathers during the occupation of Korea in 1910, and the actions of the Japanese until 1945. This message does not reach Pyongyang, but does arrive in Seoul, and Renhō Murata arrives in Seoul to partake in a “Great Peace Ceremony” - Now free of American chains, the Japanese General Defense Force is rebranded as the Japanese Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force respectively. A handful of divisions are sent to the DMZ between North and South Korea, not only as a sign of friendship with the Koreans, but as a bulwark against the Kim regime - A large number of THAAD and AEGIS defense systems are purchased from the United States and deployed in key areas along the Korean peninsula and the Japanese mainland, focusing on Honshu, Kyushu and Hokkaido, in preparation to intercept any would-be North Korean missile strike - Military drills go out in force after the North Korean coast guard fire upon and kill a number of South Korean sailors. With Japan now in NATO, the country moves its navy into the Sea of Japan in preparation for a war with North Korea. Knowing that American troops would be weeks away if an engagement were to begin, the Japanese are more than ready to take the fight head on - A huge order for Kawasaki C-2 and MV-22 Ospreys is put forward, with nearly 20 of each craft being shipped to Japanese air bases over the course of a few months. Alongside this, the Japanese purchase 15 more Apache gunships, and begin upgrading their older Cobras to use modernized fly-by-wire missiles and anti-tank equipment - Elsewhere militarily, the Japanese formalize the Japanese Defense Medical Corp (JDMC). Similar to FEMA in the united states, but with a military flair, the Japanese can rapidly deploy this force to assist in natural disasters, terrorist attacks, battlefield medevac or other such incidences that require immediate medical attention - At home, the Japanese turn to address their population decline with drastic changes in domestic policy. First, all businesses must have fully paid maternity leave for women, up to 2 months, as well as up to 3 weeks paid leave for new fathers. To prevent anti-female hiring, the Japanese government institutes a law halting businesses from having female employee numbers lower than 45% - Taxes are rescinded for first time homebuyers for up to 2 years, allowing for couples to move into new homes and begin supporting a family without having to worry about making payments right away. Elsewhere, taxes are slashed by up to 20%, giving significant breathing room to homeowners, and allowing others to move out of their apartments - These changes cause housing prices and property value to plummet, and though it helps with those low on cash, it does end up forcing many renters to close shop. Tokyo suffers as thousands exit their apartments and move out to the countryside to move into new homes - Monetary benefits are doled out for those having children. For each child, a 5% tax deduction is given, as well as a few thousand yen a month to cover food and clothing costs for these children. Pregnancy rates skyrocket throughout Japan, and many industries scramble to prevent grinding to a halt as their employees prepare to leave for their paid off-time - Finally, researchers at Miroku develop a proprietary machinegun that can be called 100% Japanese. Chambered in 5.85x39, this weapon features a 20” barrel, fire rate of 850RPM and either a 200 round belt or 60 round box magazine. Dubbed the Type 30 Automatic Rifle, Japanese infantry can now lay down significant fire in an extremely reliable platform that puts FN firearms such a s the M249 and M240b on the spot[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/Qoujhq3.png[/img] - Furious with the ineffectiveness of President Hery Rajaonarimampianina, a series of military members take their chance and forcibly remove Rajaonarimampianina from office, exiling him to France. With Lt. General Andre Ndriaijaona now in power, Madagascar is nothing more than a military dictatorship - Ndriaijaona institutes a series of sweeping reforms involving the nation’s environment. Heavy fines are instituted for those found using motor vehicles rather than bikes, and loggers are regularly put through kangaroo courts, where they are then imprisoned for decades at a time - An absolutely enormous amount of firearms, namely Russian made AKMs and RPKs, are purchased from Egypt. Though this tanks the Madagascan economy, the weapons are rapidly put into service as special forces begin sweeping the forests and gunning down poachers as if they were bottles set up on a fence - The maximum enlistment age is raised to 35, while the nation institutes conscription for all males aged 18-19. This infuriates many Malagasy individuals, but the sheer strength of the Madagascan government puts a boot on their neck. Conscripted individuals are immediately put to work building tenant ments and roads in order to kickstart the economy - Missionaries are allowed to build their own schools, but are limited in their ability to preach. Here, students can learn for free, and young minds are rapidly given the chance to better themselves at home and abroad, as literacy rates begin to climb with the introduction of these new schools - Meanwhile, Madagascar decides to choose an outwards look, and agrees to purchase a large number of solar panels and wind turbines from Japan. Luckily for Madagascar, a number of Japanese engineers and scientists come alongside the renewable energy, and assist in their construction - Alongside the Japanese visitors, the Madagascan government invites Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese to visit Madagascar and invest in the small, but growing, tech industry of Antananarivo. These expats help put up internet centers and communications buildings, but otherwise leave the Madagascans to their own devices - Elsewhere within the nation, artists are given small cash bonuses to begin renovating old buildings with new colors. When paired with a “Grow Local, Buy Local” gardening program, the small cities throughout Madagascar begin to spring to life with color and flowers, and the people are distracted from the military coup for just long enough - Thanks to the help of Vietnamese scientists, Madagascar begins implementing genetically modified forms of corn and potato plants in order to be grown in home gardens. These are heartier and more reliable forms of food, and can alleviate the dangers of famine if Madagascar has to shut itself off entirely[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/dM2vBoR.png[/img] - Flights inbound from Sierra Leone, Guinea and surrounding nations headed to New Zealand are immediately rerouted or flat out grounded. Flights headed towards the area are grounded and the passengers reimbursed. Travel to West Africa is outright banned in its entirety - New Zealander citizens coming from Sierra Leone are quarantined for, at minimum, a month in makeshift detention centers in the mountains. This infuriates those imprisoned, but those angers are soothed with a quiet backroom monetary compensation from the New Zealand government - At the United Nations, New Zealand puts forward the idea of the “International Medical Research Push”, or IMRP. Here, scientists from around the world can pool their resources and knowledge to crack the code and understand just exactly what this disease is. Thanks to efforts by Russia and America, some data has already breached the surface - A huge science center begins construction in Nelson. Expected to be finished by the summer of 2020, the Nelson International Medical Laboratory hopes to be one of the best in the world, rivalling the colleges of the US and Europe. Here, scientists and medical practitioners can gather and put forward cures and treatments for diseases - A breakthrough technology takes place at a biomedical plant in southern New Zealand. Using a prick of one’s skin, not too dissimilar to a diabetes test, the machine can rapidly identify the patient’s blood type and any present bacteria or viruses. However, the process takes upwards of 4-5 hours, and can easily be pushed off the rails by bad coding. Nonetheless, the first of modern biomedical scanners begins testing[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/opcBPgE.png[/img] - Relations warm up between Russia, Belarus and the Baltic states. Despite their vehement anti-Russian posturing, Moscow has managed to soothe tensions between the Baltics and Russia, promising better trade cooperation and lucrative gas deals with the tiny seaside nations. Meanwhile, Belarus is roped closer and closer to Putin’s influence, and is essentially a western Russian oblast - With the Syrian civil war at its end, and the Admiral Kuznetsov as a show of force in the region, the Russians and Syrians come to an agreement. After meeting in Damascus, the relatively weakened Syria joins the Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO. Russian influence in the middle east grows rapidly day by day - After posturing and harsh words from Russia, the tiny state of Moldova backs down and officially rescinds its claims on Transnistria, which is now known as the Transnistrian Autonomous Socialist Oblast, or TASO to the west. Ukraine, however, views the move as yet another power grab, and instead states claims all its own on the small region - Trade deals are struck up with China, as Beijing moves to use Chinese mining companies within Siberia to continue the excavation for rare earth materials. In return, a small share of Chinese earnings will be given to Russia, as well as yearly purchases of Russia’s debt to ensure a stronger cooperation between the two nations - Internally, security checks and border patrols are ramped up to 11. Russian border patrol agents regularly arrest trespassers, sending them to one of the many high security prisons in order to make a point. North Korean refugees fleeing to Vladivostok are rerouted to Harbin, where they are regularly sent back to the DPRK, a certain death sentence - The Russian FSB, the internal intelligence agency turned secret police, cracks down on Chechen and Ukrainian insurgents. The latter are regularly deported or imprisoned, while the former suddenly disappear in the night, usually to be found with two self inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of their head - Originally known a s Project 1153 Orel, the Russian navy begins the construction of a Nicholas class nuclear aircraft carrier. The enormous displacement and flat deck of the ship will be able to compete with most European and American carriers, and give Russia significant power projection. The Nicholas will be deployed by the end of 2021 if predictions are correct - The T-14 ‘Armata’ tank and T-15 heavy IFV undergo production in Russia, with 50 units of each. These heavily armored, futuristic vehicles are set to be moved into Russian mechanized divisions in order to give the nation’s military a significant edge over their enemies in battle - 50,000 sets of ‘Ratnik’ gear are purchased for the Russian armed forces. This futuristic loadout will allow soldiers to be in constant contact with command, and reduces the risk of individuals being separated from their support or be otherwise left on their own - The Russian military sets two battalions along the Russo-Ukrainian border, and one facing the Poles in Belarus. Though extremely provocative, the former is waved away as military defensive maneuvers, and the latter as generic Russian posturing - Known as the Mi-2019, the Russian military unveils an almost unreasonably large tiltrotor helicopter, putting the American MV-22 Osprey to shame in terms of size and lifting capabilities. What makes the Mi-2019 special is that it has both a military (its main designation) and civilian (Mi-2019-C) designations. Russian oligarchs purchase innumerate copies of the helicopter as both a prestige boost and transport - Spetsnaz units enter Sierra Leone to investigate and procure information about the infection. A total of 20 soldiers are involved in the investigation, but are cornered in the city of Kabala. 4 soldiers are killed, 7 are wounded, 2 go missing, and the rest are rapidly evacuated towards the ports of Freetown, where they are expected to return to Russia in the coming weeks[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/dMAB4i3.png[/img] - A free trade deal is signed with the United Kingdom. Though the two countries’ relations are significantly soured given the past couple years, the British and Scots see one another as valuable partners in the coming economic future, and allow for the free passage of goods through legal channels - Irish emissaries meet with President Rennie and begin discussions over how to improve relations between the two republics. Despite whining from the United Kingdom, it appears that Scottish congress has some sympathies towards a free North, or even a united Ireland altogether - Oil expeditions begin in the north sea, and a few small deposits are found. Due to the British having been able to secure the north sea oil trade during the separation, Scotland must look to other areas, including the Shetlands. Luckily, these deposits are enough to keep the Scottish oil industry afloat for the next half decade - Economists begin poking about Scotland to see which sectors could do with government intervention and assistance. Most notably, Scotland’s tech sector is lacking. As Scotland must rush to become a service-based economy, rather than a productive one, companies are given a small government assistance package to hire new employees and look to creation of new technologies for civilian use - A series of European banks are given the option to enter Scotland at the behest of the European Union. With the EU on the brink, these banks are a sign of hope for many worried investors, and Scotland is able to reap the benefits of having so many banks in their home territory - A significant breakthrough is made with banking technologies. Though not exactly an original idea, a simple thumbprint scan or use of facial recognition software is all that’s needed to begin depositing or withdrawing of cash, eliminating most tellers. Though this does cause many to lose their jobs, it also makes bank robberies significantly more difficult, and far harder for fraud to take place - The Scottish National Army does drills in the highlands to test its strength. This puny force is nothing in comparison to the British, and is lacking in air power and armored vehicles, and has not a single ship outside of the recently constructed SS [i]Edinburgh[/i], which is nothing more than a missile-armed scout patrol craft largely designed by the US[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/uEo9dKo.png[/img] - Peacekeepers are sent in droves to Sierra Leone. Most of these are volunteers from the NHS, while others are medical personnel from the Royal Marines. Working with the United Nations, the British hope to contain the infection within Sierra Leone and seek to eradicate it entirely - Trade deals are sought with Iceland and the United States. The former accepts a deal that grows Icelandic fishing rights, in return for a share in Icelandic banks and stocks. The British economy can float for a short while as the United States largely ignores British pleas for assistance - A free trade deal is signed with Scotland. Though the two countries’ relations are significantly soured given the past couple years, the British and Scots see one another as valuable partners in the coming economic future, and allow for the free passage of goods through legal channels - Despite the divorce of Scotland from the rest of the United Kingdom, British companies are still given access to the north sea and its lucrative oil deposits. Using newly designed drills that use natural vacuums, the British begin pumping thousands of barrels of their own oil every day, and send the black gold off to Texas for refining - STEM programs in Britain are subsidised massively, hoping to get the best of the best into these fields. Fortunately, many young minds take the chance to enter the STEM community. Unfortunately, many of the brightest minds take offers from mainland Europe or Scotland, and turn down the offers - Elsewhere, subsidisation begins for apprenticeships and training for the underemployed and uneducated. Small sums of money are doled out to those, encouraging looks for jobs, while the actual dole itself is slashed significantly. Now, if one wishes to receive government benefits, they must have some form of employment - A hard border is formed with Scotland as the United Kingdom implements a series of HMRC checkpoints along the border. Harsh punishments are met with those that are found smuggling contraband or other illegal goods into the country, including long prison sentences or outright bans from visiting the country - A system of visas is introduced in order to visit the United Kingdom. Regular passports can be used for short visits, but those wishing to work or live within the country must now apply for a visa, a lengthy and expensive process, that could end in disappointment as a total of 200k migrants are allowed every year in order to tamp down on “foreign-born jobsuckers”, to quote members of Theresa May’s party - As tensions begin to rise in eastern Europe and western Africa, the Royal Navy conducts a series of exercises in the English Channel, as the Trident submarines are moved to an undisclosed location closer to the rest of Europe, but far away enough to not risk provocation [/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/H1PbtdL.png[/img] - The United States sends a cadre of US Marines to support the United Nations in western Sierra Leone. During their stay, the base is attacked by a group of infected. Luckily, the Marines manage to repel the oncomers with no casualties of their own, but UN observers report at least 8 uninfected civilians were in the crowd, and had been fired upon by US troops - Donald Trump signs the American Safety Restoration Act. The first order of the act sees immense funding of ICE, and demands that local law enforcement cooperate with ICE on the removal of illegal immigrants. Cities that don’t immediately lose funding, despite protests from judges that are slapped down by the Supreme Court. After 6 months, at least 4,500 Mexican and Guatemalan illegals are sent home by ICE - Alongside the massed deportations, ASRA also diverts American tax dollars into the creation of ‘The Wall’. The first constructions begin in California in order to “Shut the left wing down and make them understand”, according to Donald Trump. The concrete wall begins construction in SoCal, while a small series of trenches, fences and camera systems dot the Texas-Mexico border - Money continues to be funneled into America’s massive military as bases in Japan are revamped. The bases themselves are enlarged, now allowing for NATO personnel to rest and refit, namely the Japanese. American strike aircraft are stationed in Okinawa in preparation for possible rising conflict in the Korean peninsula - The United States begins the deployment of the first combat-ready F-35s. 12 are sent to South Korea, while 5 are stationed throughout NATO bases in Europe. Though seeming small, the stealth fighters are the top of their class, and could easily out-run, out-gun, and out-fight any competition sent their way - An enormous riot takes place in San Francisco as black-clad ‘Anti-Fa’ take to the streets to combat “fascist alt-right nazis”. Finding no targets, the rioters attack stores and police officers. 3 rioters and 2 police are killed before the riot is subdued, and over 400 are arrested. Donald Trump takes to the podium and denounces AntiFa - After a brief meeting in the red held senate and house, the United States officially declares American AntiFa as a terrorist group. Protests erupt around the country against the ruling, but little can be done as the violence committed by AntiFa cannot be ignored, and many protesters are embarrassed when shown the fighting in San Francisco - The New England Patriots beat the New York Giants at the Superbowl, winning in the last quarter 38-30 - A series of tests take place at China Lake testing grounds out in California. The United States Army tests its first “directed energy” ground weapon. The leaks are confirmed by unnamed US officials, and what is known as “Weapon 1000” is believed to be a railgun attached to a massive chassis. Its effectiveness is unknown, and the funding is quickly running into the billions of dollars for something that may or may not see combat in the next decade[/quote] [b]Send in as Turn 2[/b] [editline]28th April 2017[/editline] Turn 2 due by Friday, May 5
[quote][b]Result of the Republican and Democratic Primaries of 2019[/b][/quote] [quote] Due to the political atmosphere rapidly heating up, and more and more players coming to the stage than normal, both the Republicans and Democrats held their elections far earlier than originally intended. This caused an upset in numbers, and threw many would-be victorious candidates to the side. [quote][t]http://i.imgur.com/I5X6eAi.png[/t] [b]Republican Primaries[/b] After the rounds of voting were done, former Secretary of Defense James Mattis squeezed past standing President Donald Trump, securing key states like California, Texas and Illinois. With Trump having lost Florida to Jeb Bush, his delegates fell far behind the requirements, and Trump was eliminated from running for Republican presidential candidacy. Donald Trump exploded into a tirade on the stage of the RNC, screaming at the top of his lungs and shoving his podium down. The President was then escorted by secret service off of the stage, still hurling insults at Mattis. Trump’s rage was the most viewed video on YouTube that week, garnering over 18 million views in 2 days. Winner - James Mattis [/quote] [quote][t]http://i.imgur.com/08DhjSb.png[/t] [b]Democratic Primaries[/b] Despite his second campaign, and the popularity amongst younger voters and more left leaning individuals, Bernie Sanders once again lost, this time to Tom Perez. However, in a stunning turn of events, Perez promised to absorb Sanders’ ideals, and even went one step further by folding Sanders in as his VP. Rahm Emanuel, meanwhile, was visibly distraught at his defeat. Knowing that the Democratic primary was reforming against his neoconservative ideals, Emanuel exited the DNC without a word, and has since refused to speak to the press. Winner - Tom Perez[/quote] [quote][t]http://i.imgur.com/Kj04UPW.png[/t] [b]Third Party Popularity[/b] When polled, a large majority of the US population chose Gary Johnson’s ‘Libertarian’ party over that of Steve Bannon’s ‘America First’. Jill Stein, the leader of the Green Party, continued her campaigns despite popularity being less than 20% in California, the bastion of Green Party politics. How the third parties will affect the coming election is unknown, as Florida begins to swing down the center after a successful 2 week tour made by Gary Johnson.[/quote] [quote][t]http://i.imgur.com/VQpg64t.png[/t] [b]National Popularity Polls (June 2019)[/b] In a surprising twist, despite the failures of the Trump administration, Republican popularity remains high. With the candidacy of Mattis confirmed, many center-rightists that had trouble with Trump are brought back into the Republican fold, as well as many moderates unwilling to vote for a largely unknown figure such as Tom Perez. Meanwhile, states such as Florida and Ohio remain tossups, and come the campaign season, the two candidates must push hard in order to receive the required electoral votes[/quote][/quote]

[b]0500[/b] - After an hour of shelling, DPRK infantry swarms across the DMZ in force and engages NATO/RoK troops. The fighting is fierce and the effectiveness of the North Koreans is unexpected, as US troops pull back on the eastern flank, giving the North Koreans access to Cheorwon. [b]0645[/b] - North Korean shells continue to land on Seoul, but active defenses have done their best to mitigate the damage done. Hundreds are confirmed dead, and thousands missing as the chaos of mass evacuation takes place. [b]0730[/b] - An enormous massed air attack takes place as the North Koreans throw everything they have against the south. At least 4 dozen fighters are detected over the airspace of Anseong, as well as a handful of bomb-carrying aircraft. The city itself is devastated by a series of strafing runs and bombings. [b]0740[/b] - Finally mobilized, American F-35s begin engaging North Korean aircraft as they attempt to make it home. The North Koreans are taken by surprise and nearly 70% of their attack force is destroyed or heavily damaged. [b]0830[/b] - Fighting along the DMZ continues, and the North Korean element of surprise has begun to wear off. South Korean armor moves into position and American ATGM teams begin making quick work of the shoddy efforts made by North Korean armored divisions. American aircraft begin striking North Korean artillery and rocket emplacements, as well as rear echelon command posts. [b]0930[/b] - The shelling of Seoul comes to an abrupt end as the US finally eliminates the last North Korean guns in range of the city. Current estimates are 1300 dead, over 8000 wounded and at least 14000 more missing. The city is in shambles, and will take years to recover. [b]1100[/b] - Southern forces push back against the North Koreans and begin to force them over the DMZ. North Korean troops force their enemies to take a mile for every inch they give, as southern casualties begin to rise steadily. Reports of North Korean submarines making their way out of docks is confirmed, and Japanese patrol aircraft begin scouring the seas [b]1300[/b] - The first Southern thrust into North Korean territory takes place as the city of Kaesong is seized. North Korean civilians in the city are instructed by Pyongyang to fight to the bitter end, yet many are captured peacefully by the advancing Southern forces [b]1445[/b] - 2 North Korean Romeo-Class submarines are sunk near Okinoshima by Japanese patrol aircraft. A handful of survivors are scooped up, but the rest go down with the ship. Meanwhile, Southern forces are halted by a North Korean armored wave at Yonan, and begin to take serious casualties. [b]1530[/b] - American F-35s return, this time with anti-tank rockets. Southern forces find themselves quickly relieved as the F-35s avoid any and all ground or air fire, and make mincemeat of the North Korean tanks. Dozens of crews are seen clambering out of their unharmed tanks, waving a white cloth above their heads [b]1645[/b] - A third Romeo-Class submarine is sunk, this time wandering aimlessly in the Sea of Japan. When spotted, the ship surfaces and the crew surrenders, the ship itself forcibly scuttled by Japanese forces. [b]1750[/b] - The North Koreans quickly begin to lose ground as American and Southern troops push hard against the failing North Korean waves. Though outnumbered, the South begins to see more and more defectors headed towards NATO lines [b]1830[/b] - Under orders from US President Donald Trump, an MQ-9 ‘Reaper’ fires a single hellfire missile through the roof of the Ryongsong Residence, where Kim Jong Un is believed to be staying. 11 residents are killed, many of them generals, but there are no reports of the dictator found amongst the wreckage [b]2000[/b] - North Korean air power is all but non-existent as tomahawk missiles level airfields, MQ-9s scour hangars, and F-35s prowl the skies. Much of the North Korean ability to strike effectively against the south has been lost, and they must rapidly reorganize in order to deal with the ongoing conflict. [b]2200[/b] - 6 Sang-O-class submarines beach themselves on the shores of Oda, Japan. The crews spill out and surrender to Japanese coast guard. Their submarines are pushed out to sea and scuttled after any and all information is captured. Most notably, a North Korean plan titled “Crimson Sunrise” is taken, and immediately decoded [b]2345[/b] - American forces in the Pacific are put on high alert as massed anti-submarine warfare begins.

With them come hundreds that are infected with the disease that the WHO has designated the “Freetown Fever” at the current moment. Infected individuals then “turn”, and unleash the deadly disease elsewhere in western Africa - Sierra Leone is put under martial law by the United Nations. Hundreds of thousands are dead in the streets, and nearly every citizen of the nation has been forced out of their home. A tiny, 50 square kilometer “safe zone” has been set up by the United Nations, where civilians are airlifted to countries like Egypt and South Africa as refugees - A bombing takes place in Hakkari, Turkey, killing 18 Turkish soldiers, 23 civilians and wounding nearly 300. The Turkish government blames the act on Kurdish separatists, while Rojava and Kurdistan shift the blame onto latent IS groups still operating in the middle east. Turkish forces advance onto the borders between them and the two Kurdish states - Sudan breaks the treaty between them and the south, and Sudanese forces move in to seize key population centers within South Sudan. Hundreds of civilians are killed in massed attacks, while thousands are forced to flee from their homes. The United Nations stands powerless as village after village is torched - [highlight]At 0400 Korea Time[/highlight], North Korean artillery ripples to life along the DMZ, thousands of shells falling on Korean, American and Japanese troops stationed in the area. A massive rush of North Korean infantry signals the beginning of the final showdown in the Korean Peninsula, winner take all - US President Donald Trump, after inciting Article 5, declares that “Any and all nuclear, chemical or biological strikes at the United States or her allies will be treated in kind with a full, unrestricted response.” The chilling message sends shockwaves, as that rhetoric hasn’t been heard since the likes of MacArthur [/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/ATsZ6ri.png[/img] - Cuba, though staunchly far left, denounces North Korea's actions in the Second Korean War. Knowing that the ideal Marxist-Leninist identity has been tainted by the likes of the Kim regime, Cuba takes its chance to make itself the true scotsman of red regimes - Cuba officially bans any and all travel to West Africa as Freetown Fever spreads rapidly out of control. This upsets some business ventures, as the cheap labor was appreciated, but they turn to poor Cubans to fill in the gap - As Cuba’s renewable energy program continues to grow, researchers in Havana reveal a new way to harness the power of the earth. Using paddles not too dissimilar to that of a water wheel, these concrete structures are sunk just below sea level, allowing the tide to wash over them. As the water moves back and forth, it spins a generator, creating a clean source of electricity[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/jb6DMjG.png[/img] - Delegates are sent from Ireland to the European Union in hopes of pulling the multinational economic coalition together. With the losses of France and the United Kingdom, the EU may soon collapse, as Eastern European countries such as the Baltic States and Poland feel that EU regulations and laws are striking too close to home. Irish delegates achieve little in this matter - Irish delegates are then sent to the United Nations to discuss Britain’s “asinine and offensive” declarations over the banning of travel from western Africa. Ireland then points to their ‘broad net’ of information gathering, and state that they have ‘little to no prejudice regarding searches for those infected’ - Quickly slapped together in Irish parliament, the Infection Protocol Security Agency (IPSA) is formed in order to root out any possible vectors for disease. Flights landing in or taking off from Ireland are stalled as IPSA agents introduce a second aspect to security checks, and regularly board planes to rifle through cargo. Trade is stifled by this, and there are many reports of furious passengers getting into verbal arguments with IPSA agents, and a couple fistfights take place - IPSA also introduces a forced 2 day quarantine for ships docking in Irish harbors. This infuriates the crews, many of whom refuse to stay during the quarantine and break through the hastily erected controls. Those individuals are arrested, and a whole menagerie of problems regarding the holding of foreign nationals begins - A recruitment campaign begins for the Irish army and navy. The tiny military forces of the island grow somewhat, as poorer citizens know that they can get three hots and a cot if they set aside the time to join up. Many of these soldiers, after bootcamp, are put to work on a new project - The Irish government puts a large amount of the budget into mimicking the United States. In this case, a gigantic, 20 kilometer long “wall” to be constructed along the southwest coastline of Ireland. Using concrete and WWII-styled “tank traps”, the Irish begin heavily fortifying the country. The public is outraged, and protests take place throughout the nation decrying the act as a “money sink” - The Irish military introduces a series of “Quick Response Forces” (QRF) to work alongside the IPSA. QRFs are small, squad-sized groups that can be rapidly inserted into situations that require their expertise. Many QRFs are trained to handle large crowds of panicked individuals, pick out individuals that pose a threat, and deliver important medical aid to those wounded - Despite having a small military, and an even smaller air force, the Irish Air Corps develops the Mk. II “Auto-Eagle”. This huge, couch-sized quadrotor can be deployed from just about anywhere, and will observe pre-programmed paths. The Auto Eagle is and extremely useful surveillance drone, as it works almost entirely on its own without requiring human interaction[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/NtiyHlT.png[/img] - As the 2nd Korean War begins, Japan moves to form a NATO-based coalition against the North Koreans. Many NATO members agree, namely France, Spain and the Visegrad Group. However, the United Kingdom and Germany are somewhat unwilling, namely due to the relative distance to the fighting - Japanese forces stationed along the DMZ fight fiercely against the North Koreans. 2 North Korean armored divisions are forced back by small groups of Japanese ATGM squads, while Japanese helicopters make quick work of attacking infantry. This changes as Japanese troops are forced to fight in urban combat, where the massed numbers of the North Koreans simply outnumber the Japanese, where they are cornered and forced to fight it out, cut off from reinforcements - During the advance northward into Kosong, a group Japanese Type 10 tanks engage North Korean T-72s. Outnumbered 8:1, the Japanese crews decimate the North Koreans, and suffer only 1 casualty. However, this doesn’t halt the North Korean counter-attack, and Japanese forces pull back over the DMZ to recover their losses - As the hunt for North Korean submarines continue, at least 6 more vessels are sunk in combat. A handful of Japanese patrol craft are lost, but their crews are largely recovered. The same cannot be said for the North Koreans as another Romeo-Class submarine is sunk off the coast of Ulleung, the entire crew having gone down with the ship - Izumo-Class helicopter carriers are hastily redesignated as VTOL aircraft carriers in order to support American airstrikes. Emergency orders are put through for American F-35s and Harriers, the former on their way and the latter arriving after but a few weeks. These craft are put to good use as Japanese troops raid military outposts on the northwest coast of North Korea - American veterans are hired by the JSDF to be used in the newly organized JSDF “Counter Insurgency Personnel” (JSDF-CIP) in order to root out North Korean civilians that continue to carry out attacks on NATO troops occupying their country - At home, the Japanese begin outfitting police with American-made tear gas, water hoses, rubber bullets and noisemakers. These anti-riot measures come as dozens of anti-war demonstrations pop up throughout the country, and the police forces rush to ensure that these demonstrations don’t turn violent. Luckily, none of them do, and most are dispersed as companies threaten to fire the employees found protesting - Japanese parliament puts through a new tax reform. Businesses making a certain amount per year are largely exempt from paying income taxes, while the burden is placed more significantly on large companies such as Toshiba, Mitsubishi and Nissan. However, large companies can avoid the tax by putting a certain percentage of their funds into research and development, and if they can prove that the research is worthwhile, they can dodge having to pay up bigger sums of money - Japan begins to subsidize its art and media sectors in order to “export Japan to the world”. This new project will help spread not just animation and film, but music, art, and other aspects of Japanese culture to the rest of the world in hopes of attracting not only tourists but further economic investment into Japan - Engineers at Mitsubishi unveil a new domestic jet for the Japanese air force. Dubbed the F-5, this aircraft is strikingly similar to the American A-10, though it has a much sleeker design. With less hardpoints, and focused on speed, maneuverability and AA avoidance, the F-5 can still carry thousands of pounds of bombs and rockets, and has a downright gigantic 50mm autocannon instead of the GAU-8. The F-5 continues to go through testing, and has yet to arrive on the field, but may soon be the newest addition to modern CAS aircraft[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/EnERjCJ.png[/img] - A deal is struck between Madagascar and Russia. The Russian Navy is allowed to build a base in the port city of Mahajanga and have complete basing rights in return for help in the reconstruction process. Russian marines with nothing better to do are regularly seen moving asphalt and concrete with Madagascan locals - Madagascar institutes a total ban on travel to any and all West African countries, and any/all ships or aircraft arriving from the continent are halted and screened with excruciating detail to prevent the spread of Freetown Fever. As little is known about the disease at the current time, most of these are simply 24h holds - A huge number of goats are purchased from Kazakhstan and Pakistan. These hearty sources of meat and milk are imported to Madagascar in order to cut back on water-demanding cattle. Combined with the subsidisation of terrace-based farming, Madagascar has managed to grab the hand of the nation’s environment before it falls off the cliff entirely - A series of large fishing communities are artificially created by the Madagascan government. Jobless individuals unfit for military service are given the opportunity to leave the center of the nation and instead head to these new areas of commerce. Slightly better than the hut-like hovels of civilian made fishing centers, these small towns can hold a few hundred, and the fish they bring in help relieve the dependency on land-based food - Cannabis and its products are officially legalized in Madagascar. Having always been somewhat relaxed with enforcement of the law, little changes in the general population’s consumption of the drug. However, law enforcement must now crack down on cannabis farms that are far larger than the environmentally sound limit - Factories tasked with the production of solar panels and windmills are given government subsidies to encourage further output. These sources of renewable energy are immediately installed on people’s houses, and despite protests from some, the government does what the government wants, and thus all houses are required to have some form of renewable energy on their property by the end of 2021 - With Jean Andre now given the title Grand Marshal, and the military rebranded the ‘Guardians of the People and Vanguards of the Revolution’, the new semi-socialist government of Madagascar is put in place. Local constabularies, police chiefs, mayors and burrough leaders are put back into place after having been removed by the tumultuous revolution. Jean Andre promises national elections by 2025, and installs his own Prime Minister, but for now has instated himself as ruler of the country until then - Every weekend, sections of the Madagascan army are sent to hike in the rocky mountains or steaming jungles in order to keep them in top shape, as well as get them familiarized with the environment. As many of these men come from the poor wrapped up by the recruitment campaigns, they already know how the environment works. With gun in hand however, things look a lot different - Knowing that the age of massed tactics is over, and secretly knowing that an insurgency would simply mean the stamping out of a Madagascan identity, the military focuses on small squad based doctrines. Squads with 3 fireteams made up of 5 men are the standard for the Madagascan military - Borrowing ideas from Japanese and American riot police, a new form of armor is distributed amongst Madagascan soldiers. Covering the neck, face, elbows, arms and knees, this thick padding protects from a wide variety of injuries. However, it proves to be hot and sticky when in the jungle, and is largely ditched in favor of the standard kevlar and trauma plate. Police eat up the armor with gusto[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/FLlOgB2.png[/img] - The Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization are invited to the Nelson International Medical Laboratory to assist in the research regarding Freetown Fever. A significant number of researchers arrive, and try desperately to crack the code of the disease. Only a little bit of information is found, namely that it is a virus, and that it is fluid borne. Its other aspects are currently unknown - Prime Minister Bill English meets with Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull to discuss trade and mobility between New Zealand and Australia. Though the two are already at fairly strong relations, some regulations regarding importations for both countries seem poorly put together, and the two fiscally conservative PMs work out a deal to slash the red tape and allow for fully free trade between the two secluded countries - A recruitment drive begins for the national guard. With war having sparked up again in North Korea, the New Zealand Navy begins scouring the shores to ensure that no escapee submarines attempt to dislodge NATO movement in the pacific. Many young men join up, itching for a fight, but as New Zealand is not an official participant, they are disappointedly set to watch water to make sure it doesn’t move too much - 15 Stryker APCs and 5 AH64 ‘Apaches’ are purchased from the United States in order to replace their old equipment. Though expensive, new crews are trained extensively on the vehicles, and are already proven to be ready at a moment’s notice - New Zealand puts up its first communication satellite with an absolutely enormous data transfer: 2.5 gigabits per second. The first of its kind for the region, New Zealand is able to send tons of data from place to place without having to deal with latency or interference[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/ArIFFT6.png[/img] - A deal is struck between Madagascar and Russia. The Russian Navy is allowed to build a base in the port city of Mahajanga and have complete basing rights in return for help in the reconstruction process. Russian marines with nothing better to do are regularly seen moving asphalt and concrete with Madagascan locals - Russian delegates to the United Nations demand that NATO and the UN itself further commit themselves to efforts in Sierra Leone. Much of this falls on deaf ears, as the UN is more or less evacuating itself from Sierra Leone, and NATO is too preoccupied with North Korea. Russia instead takes it upon itself to work on the outbreak - Russia sends its tendrils out to Iran, Kazakhstan and the Baltic States in order to pull together a stronger CSTO. Iran, seeing rising tensions in the middle east once again, aligns itself with Russia officially, much to Israel’s chagrin. Kazakhstan rejects the treaty, citing further distance from Russia as a “necessity for national security”. The Baltic states, meanwhile, reject the treaty outright, and more or less tell Russian delegates to do inappropriate things to themselves as they leave the discussion tables - Citizens or tourists arriving from West Africa are detained and held for 48 hours in detention facilities that are hastily erected near airports or docks. Those affected are infuriated, but understand the measures taken. Fewer and fewer feel that travelling to West Africa is worthwhile, and thus most of the detention centers remain empty - The FSB cracks down on Chechen militants hard within Grozny. During a raid on a suspected arms dealer, 5 FSB agents are ambushed and killed, while 3 insurgents are killed in the fighting, 18 more arrested. Protests in Moscow demand retaliation, while counter-protests in Grozny demand that it go to a diplomatic table to bring an answer to the question of Chechen independence - Russia cranks up the recruitment propaganda now that her assets are under threat once again. With war having officially broken out in North Korea, and Russian observers seeing the effectiveness of NATO equipment and troops, the Russian military is somewhat uneased, and requests more fresh bodies - The Russian government makes a purchase of 30 Mi-2019 helicopters to outfit both military and civilian transport, alongside 15 TOS-1 ‘Buratino’ rocket launchers. The napalm-launching MLRS artillery pieces are more than intimidating, and many wonder as to why Russia chooses to start the production of such weapons - An An-72 carrying 2 Spetsnaz HazMat teams arrives at the crowded airport of Freeport, Sierra Leone. The troops dismount, and are immediately sent in to rescue survivors in the United Nations’ quarantine zone. The An-27 then arrives in the Algiers international airport to refuel and prepare for the flight back to Russia. Meanwhile, an Mi-2019 carries ‘biohazardous material’ to the Admiral Kuznetsov stationed outside of Latakia, Syria - Upon the Kuznetsov, returning GRU soldiers from their previous mission have been quarantined below decks. Two of the soldiers have been chained to a wall after lashing out at their comrades, and violently attacking two doctors attempting to subdue them. No one was bitten or harmed, and these two are set to be brought to a secret facility somewhere in Siberia in the coming days - To support the Kuznetsov, the Marshal Ustinov, Moskva, Varyag cruisers of the Slava-class are sent to the mediterranean. Unsurprisingly, these 3 cruisers are not just there for support, but also intimidation of Turkey, whose stance against Kurdistan threatens a reignition of the Syrian Civil War or even a conflict in Iran - Russian electronic engineers unveil a briefcase sized hydrogen fuel cell. This compact, expensive piece of equipment can easily power a large vehicle for days at a time without requiring recharging/refueling, and is extremely reliable. If made publicly available, this could help wean Russia off of fossil fuels for transportation and energy[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/VuHDLSF.png[/img] - Flights inbound from Sierra Leone and other parts of West Africa are demanded to turn back, or at the very least take a connecting flight that would prolong the possibility of having an infected individual. With the airports of West Africa simply being used to evacuate refugees to places like Egypt or Algeria, that problem is largely considered moot - Subsidies are continually pumped into Scotland’s growing tech industry, as well as the Shetland oil fields. Both benefit significantly from the subsidies, and Scotland launches ‘GlasgowNet’, a strong, fiber-based form of internet that is connected directly to the Scottish government. Though some have fears over surveillance and government interference, the dirt cheap connectivity is welcomed - European banks continue to flock to Scotland as Britain closes the doors of trade inwards on itself. The money is a welcome change as the Scottish economy continues to stumble about drunkenly, desperate to find a standing. Socialist groups in Scotland, however, are unhappy with the change - Seeing the importance of having an armored force, the Scottish military purchases 15 Leopard III tanks from Germany. Dubbed the Mk. I, the Scots begin training with their new toys from the get-go, and like New Zealand with the AH-64, are more than ready should a fight come to their shores - Using lasers, Scottish oil engineers are able to detect large deposits of oil, and also readjust their vacuum-tube drills within their holes. This allows for huge amounts of oil to be brought to the surface, and the Scots are able to make significant amounts of money off of the oil[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/0W9Wok6.png[/img] - As the United Kingdom begins to evacuate British civilians from Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and the Ivory Coast, Britain demands that the nations get their proverbial shit in one sock and put stricter relations on their borders. May’s requests fall on deaf ears as the governments of said nations are thrown into absolute chaos - MI6 operatives, alongside SAS and military doctors, are airdropped into the jungles of Sierra Leone. For 4 weeks, they monitor movement of infected groups, and quickly begin to gather important data. The infected move in large groups, and are easily alerted to sound and light, as one of the military doctors is ripped to shreds after forgetting to put his phone on silent - The HMS [i]Daring[/i] and [i]Dragon[/i], 2 missile destroyers, are sent to monitor the coast of Sierra Leone. During their voyage, they observe Russian aircraft making their way in and out of the region, as well as forcibly turning away refugee-filled skiffs that attempt to board - Subsidies are pumped into British farms in order to make the country more self sustaining now that European imports are extremely expensive thanks to Brexit. Meanwhile, the British government begins constructing its own munitions factories now that NATO has been mobilized to fight North Korea. Under the table, however, these manufactories are built in order to stop imports from Germany or France - Money is invested in North Sea fortifications, most of which are simply large walls of concrete dropped into the water. This comes as Britain puts through an act to “reclaim our seas” according to PM May. Much of the rest of the money is put into artificially inflating the importance of North Sea Oil, now that the Scots have significantly better Oil extraction technology - Designers of the Royal Marines unveil Mk.I-X “Bulldog” armor. Similar to a hazmat suit, the armor is airtight and only takes in oxygen from a strapped tank. However, rather than the poofy, plasticine outerwear that is typical with hazmat suits, the Bulldog is nearly skin tight, and bristles with kevlar padding and a strong trauma plate. In the event of a chemical attack, soldiers could easily move around toxic environments without having their vision or breathing hampered by a gas mask[/quote] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/l8ru3tt.png[/img] - American forces are engaged by North Koreans along the DMZ as the tensions in the peninsula go hot. Though taken by surprise, the more-than-ready Americans repel attack after attack, despite eventually having to cede ground near Cheorwon before making their counterattack - American armor is deployed before long, and helps the NATO forces in their advances northward. M1A2 TUSK tanks, working alongside Japanese Type 10s prove their mettle against North Korean T-55s and T-72s. Despite their effectiveness however, the North Koreans eventually overwhelm the American forces in Pyongsan, where they are forced to turn back - Airstrikes continue against key North Korean assets in Wonsan and Pyongyang. Thanks to the F-35 paired with MQ-9 reaper drones, the North Koreans are unable to counter the American attacks, and hundreds of soldiers are killed in vain attempts to knock them down - American naval vessels sink 13 Sang-O class submarines near Hawaii after the alerts sent out by Japan. 2 more Sang-O class subs are knocked down in Alaska after their crews surrender. North Korean aircraft threatening American vessels in the Sea of Japan are quickly swatted down as North Korea’s air force dwindles away - A US Marine detachment lands in Wonsan, but is eventually forced back after immense casualties. Civilians and soldiers, armed with modern weapons or guns from WW2 are more than prepared to dig in and fight against the American troops. Unlike on the border, these civilians were not exposed to South Korean counter-propaganda, and are viciously effective against American soldiers. Hundreds of Marines are killed, while thousands of North Koreans are as well, thus causing a pyrrhic North Korean victory - At home, support for Trump jumps to 27% thanks to his rapid response to North Korea. However, with his current term being his last, Trump rarely holds press conferences, and is believed to spend most of the day sulking in the White House. His trips to Mar-A-Lago have been cancelled for the rest of his term, and meetings with executives have been postponed until further notice - American researchers unveil a new missile defense system. Known as the Static Anti-Strike Guided Missile System (SASGM, or lovingly named “Sausage”), this new equipment uses high powered lasers to poke holes within oncoming missiles, and then shower them with a swarm of hot lead in order to bring them down. This has not been tested to be able to take down ICBMs, but SLBMs are at risk of being knocked down by American sausages[/quote]

Hey Zilla I did specifically state in my turn IPSA would only be screening inbound ships and planes, not ones departing Ireland. It doesn't make sense for them to screen departing planes, we're trying to keep an infection out of Ireland.
