United Federation of Merchants

A New age dawns and the coming of the UFM is met by the scurrying of diplomats.

Government - Internal OOC: This is for NPC governments who i don't know about yet.

Diplomats are sent to the nations and islands all in close proximity to the UFM, bringing messages of peace, trade, and the common good. A simple message, but one that the UFM is wholeheartedly dedicated too.


Diplomatic message to Soviet Directorate

Greetings wise leader,

The United Federation of Merchants bids you well. Our message is one of alliance and co-operation. We seek to defend ourselves and our interests and we see that you are skilled and talented warriors. It is our wish to enter into an arms agreement with you, so that you might produce for us sophisticated weapons to outfit our small but noble fighting force.

In exchange the UFM will provide financial compensation, in addition to our support in matters of international discussion.

Please consider our humble request, and reply at your soonest convenience.


Diplomatic message to South Asian Co-Prosperity League

Greetings wise leader,

The United Federation of Merchants bids you well. Our message is one of alliance and co-operation. We see that we share many common interests and believe we can expand on these common ideas in the form of an alliance. With our space technology and understanding of satellites the UFM would like to construct a missile defense shield to protect our lands from hostile attacks. We see however, that none are more skilled than yourselves at combating such a threat. As such we wish to offer a military alliance.

In exchange for the providing of your missile defense technology, we understand the need for protecting your secrets and will allow you to dictate how this will be done, we will construct satilites to house the systems and launch them into space.

The system will then protect both our glorious nations from missile attacks by destroying any mid to long range missile fired without the agreement of our two nations.

I understand that this is a large commitment from one young nation to another, but these are dangerous times, and the UFM feels strongly that our future will be far more secure if we act in concert.

Please consider our humble request, and reply at your soonest convenience.


...

OOC: I have more, but I must attend Uni till late, I shall create a new post later with more diplomatic messages and my businesses.

Throughout the streets of Saint Petersburg, the fires of industry were in full bloom. The words of the "United Federation of Merchants" had set the Directorate alight with work. Massive factories were suddenly re-purposed as the industrial capacity of the growing military nation. Massive convoys of Ural-4320 transport trucks were constantly rolling into the national centers from warehouses scattered amongst the wastelands of the great Directorate. Member nations of the Directorate had finally mustered from their slumber as the full power of mining, agriculture, and production were put into effect.

Even now, factories consumed the needy and unemployed like the trucks of raw materials that rolled in even now. Massive twenty-pound slabs of steel were wheeled in on forklifts and trolleys from the backs of trucks. A massive game of Tetris was played with the hundreds of trailers being queued up in storehouses across the massive port city, with fuel being brought in by the hectaliter to power the engines of industry. Nuclear power reactors thrummed with new life as the latest generation of Directorate scientists wielded the power of the atom with almost impunity, uranium- brought forth in armored convoys stretching miles long- fueling a new era of growth and prosperity.

On the street corners, government-funded philosophers matched wits with holy men. Atheist beliefs, so strongly controlled and subtly guided by government control, were spread to the masses in a manner befitting only men of pure Eurasian stock! Men with hard and worn faces shouted the futility of faith in anything else but the power of oneself, the prophets of other religions- seeking to convert- being mocked for encouraging weakness amongst good Soviet men and women. Though no military hand was played, it was a sure sign of favor that only those preaching in the theology of nothing were able to secure the most favorable positions to speak from, or that it was Directorate LEOs that patrolled most frequently around these centers of "enlightened education".

All of this was quite evident to the man looking over the city from street level. To truly know your people, you had to walk amongst them, in their shoes. It was for this reason that Vladimir Petr now roamed the streets, having eluded his handlers amidst one of several factories he had toured that day. Seeing such young men standing at attention as they operated machine presses, looking to the millions of rounds being cast and processed for some future conflict! It was an eye-opening sight to behold, especially considering the fact that the machinery being used was the latest of its generation. Computers had served to help with a lot of the refinement aspects, but the manual labor itself? No machine could replace the sweat and burn of men charging in between the flames of a blast furnace, replacing decaying brickwork by hand as heat melted the soles of specially-reinforced boots! No machine could replicate the patriotism of good, Soviet men as these! He could see it in the faces of the men sitting in the open-topped trucks, their freshly minted helmets catching his eye in addition to the FN-FALs they sported. The weapons the Directorate produced were quite varied- the only thing limiting their capability to churn out arms being the arms technology of the era.

War brought forth innovation- and innovation brought prosperity. It was a policy that Vladimir followed quite closely, but considering the fact that there were no current wars to be had, that left the Directorate with only one solution: The strengthening of its own borders, to create a land that could not be sullied by Luftwaffe bombing runs, fields that could no longer be scorched by heavy firebombing campaigns! Enough guns that nothing, nothing, could reach their lands...unless the Directorate willed it.

Radio reply to the most gracious United Federation of Merchants:
Comrade Vladimir Petr, Chief Director of the most glorious People's Directorate, has tentatively accepted your offer of armament- on the condition that a refined list of requested arms and munitions be delivered unto the factories of the great Directorate, so that more precise works may be wrought from them!

In addition, should you be so dearly in need, the great people of the Soviet Directorate shall gladly provide the aid of our mercenaries should you be able and willing to pay for them!

Written prompt to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic
Hail, friends of the Middle East! For while it seems you have sufficient oil, do not be afraid to endorse in many of the fine arms we have available! A trade agreement can certainly be worked out for our many very fine firearms and military weapons available!

Teleconference to South Asian Co-Prosperity League
Greetings, neighbors to our south! We would like to give you a friendly reminder that we of the Directorate have many arms that we have been stockpiling for the last few years, and- whilst we would gladly be willing to put them to use for a reasonable cause- we are also quite interested in selling them. Provided, of course, all of you have some form of tenable currency to exchange with the rest of the civilized world!

Current actions:
Put national focus on the improvement of security by moving troops to forward garrisons along the Directorate border. Whilst not on active duty, they are to begin digging in and erecting fortifications using supplies produced in both the local area and shipped from across the nation.

Business Management:
Almaz-Antey will be instructed to begin production of a series of arms and armor, which will be further detailed, with the usage of 50 steel units and 130 food units.

Rosnanotech will be left to their own, self-guided interests.

Obinsk Foundation will be awarded 20 units of Enriched Uranium, to ensure ever-lasting power flows throughout all corners of the Directorate! Power to the people!

Perestroika Foundations will be instructed to construct additional infrastructure to support the growing industry: Additional steel production plants and mines are to be erected near the current steel mines. Every ounce of steel is another ounce to be put to work for our great nation's cause! They will be granted 100 units of steel to put to work for this purpose! They are also to begin research of more efficient steel production techniques, with the promise of additional grants from the Soviet government should they succeed in tripling production within the next four years!

Cejex Developments: Free to research as they will. Should any interesting developments come up, the Directorate will certainly not ignore them.

Luxuriantmile Transports: Tasked towards researching the latest in aerospace superiority fighter craft and transports. In addition, they will continue to offer long-standing and economically efficient civilian services with their high-speed high-altitude aircraft.

Cogitiri Computers: They are to begin updating the Soviet Directorate's cybernetic networks utilizing 30 units of Silicon. In addition to upgrading computer access and capabilities throughout the Directorate, they are encouraged to trod international waters in their marketing plans.

Vevso Pharmaceuticals: There is always a need for medicine! The company will be encouraged to begin pumping out new chemicals in bulk, for sale to the most gracious United Federation of Merchants and any other countries in need. There is always a profit in medicine!

Zellus Productions: A new propaganda campaign emphasizing the need for "Security on the home front, bread in every bowl, and a woman in every home!" will be put forth, with Zellus offering its talents to any interested countries beyond the border. Provided, of course, there is nothing seditious against the great and mighty Directorate that backs them being produced!

Karu Security: They will be put to use as a freelance mercenary organization, offering to supplement the current military strength of the United Federation of Merchants or any other nation currently involved in brushfire conflicts.

Aerologistics: With the recent boom in construction, Aerologistics is being offered a lucrative tax cut along the borders of the Directorate's member nations and the rest of the "Free" world, hopefully encouraging them to set up facilities along said borders.

Digital Mutual Brokers: They have been given free reign to invest and trade as they wish, though- being a state operated firm- their profits go mostly to the Directorate.

Ferrell Fabrication Dynamics: They are being given 20 units of steel to jump-start production of consumer goods in bulk with new factories, with the intention of ensuring that every Soviet citizen has a home full of luxurious appliances and other such what-nots!

Hinton Frontier: 30 units of steel will perhaps help the market boom, da? With a considerable government bonus to get the economic race off at a rocket pace, it is the hope of the Directorate that they will see many new automobiles rolling into the international marketplace and homes everywhere!

Sherman Instrument's Biological Entertainment: Let them do as they wish for now, though the Directorate will hint that any military-applicable developments may be rewarded handsomely.

Electric Education Group: Let them do as they will, for now- though a great emphasis on educating the latest of the Directorate's youths will certainly be placed!

Directorate Chemical Metals: With the recent boom of their competitors, they will also be granted joint authority of the new steel refinement facilities when Perestroika Foundations' buildings are completed, to keep steel pumping throughout all of the Directorate!

Healthy Nucleosoft: They are free to do as they will, but any new medicinal machinery that may aid upon the battlefield shall be looked on...quite favorably. Perhaps even with a bit of lenience come budget time?

[Storm Bringer]

To the Forign Office of the Directorate

Sir/madam,
the League prides itself supplying its own armies with weaponry. However, we are intrested in aquiring cheap medium armour, light IFVS and self propelled artillry for the equipping of our secondry formations. we are currently estimating our needs, and willl communicate them to you when we have made our decision. we do not seek cutting edge equipment, rather cheaper, eaiser to mass produce items suitable for equipped an manuver warfare army on the order of 5 to 6 million men.


to the UFM

We have recived your missive. However, the techology you seek is covered by league security treaties. I am afraid we are not willing to offer it for sale.


edit

Primary industrial objective is the replacment of our conventional railway network with Maglex systems, using our advanced superconductor systems. first we will build a 'backbone' network linking major population and industrial centres, before expanding the network to completly replace our conventional rail network.

at the same time, NORINCO will be tasked with intergating the superconducters into a practical, tank mountable railgun. once they have achieved that, they will be tasked with expanding the system for use on naval ships, and with shrinking it as a replacement for aircraft cannons.

United Federation of Merchants - Part 2 post

Diplomatic message to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic

Wise leaders,
The United Federation of Merchants sends its greetings. It is in the sprite of friendship that we contact you today, for it has been too long between messages. We wish to inquire if we may work together in the formation of a trade alliance between our great nations, perhaps advancing that to a military alliance. We are sure that with our space technology and your advanced mathematics and missile technology that our combined potential will serve mankind well in the future.
These consider our humble inquire.


Diplomatic message to South Asian Co-Prosperity League

Wise leaders,
The United Federation wishes to extend its apologies for the mis-communication. We do not wish to buy, or even control your technology. Instead we seek to work together, your glorious League providing its technology, and our Federation providing its own technology. Together, we hope to achieve a union of those technologies that will protect us both from those who would seek to harm, us and the entire human race. We seek an alliance of trust and mutual respect. In this field we would make no attempt to learn the secrets of your technology, and we would expect the same respect to be shown in return. This desired undertaking between our nations may only be the beginning of a grand and powerful alliance.

We humbly ask that you consider our new offer and should you refuse we will trouble you no further in this matter.


Diplomatic message to Soviet Directorate

Comrade Vladimir Petr, Chief Director of the most glorious People's Directorate,
The United Federation is overjoyed at the news of potential invitation to treat. We will have our lawyers and traders run up a full contract with you as soon as possible, however the general make-up of what we are after is:

Smart, high tech, personal arms, precision is valued over destructive power, but AP options must be available.

Smart, mid to long range weapons that can be moved rapidly, once again, precision is of the uttermost importance.

Smart, mobile anti-air systems, ideally for area denial, that can be deployed and left unmanned but operation by a small squad.

High Tech, non-lethal, weapon systems. (C.S Gas, Audio weapons, Non-directed Energy Weapons.)

We will need enough for a fighting force of 200,000 men.

We seek the highest quality and greatest performance.

In addition your enthusiastic response has lead us to consider the possibility of providing financial rewards for performing weapon research for us. Naturally technology learned would be shared between our nations. But the researches costs can be covered by the Federation.

We would also like to you to consider the potential for joint military training exercises between our armed forces. The experienced gained by all sides will not be of great value in the future.

The Federation understands your tariffs are in-place to protect your people from the gross excesses of foreign nations, however should the Federation receive preferential treatment in importation of goods will can offer our economists to work with your offices in ensuring your economy remains stable and well guarded against any threats against it.

Please consider our requests, at your earliest opportunity.

Along the borders, Soviet men- men of strong arms and even stronger backs- began to labor. Concertina wire was unrolled as the redeployed ground forces fortified their borders. Bags of cement were carried off the backs of trucks that operated day and night. Entire regiments had redeployed over the space of a few weeks, massive aerial transports hauling kilotons of materials to the men stationed towards the front. Crate after crate of ammunition was offloaded from the massive aircraft on crude dirt airstrips, Mi-26 helicopters soaring through the air with everything from IFVs to massive artillery pieces in the clutches of their massive winches.

Regular soldiers dug foxholes and trench lines as the more specialized men, sappers and siege architects, began to lay down the groundwork for future camouflaged minefields and bunkers. Along the Romanian-Bulgarian borderline, Brigadier General Sergy Day'ya smiled openly. Situated from atop one of the watch towers recently erected near the defensive line, the massive river dividing the two nations now ringed with scattered watchtowers to overlook the Romanian workers constructing the trenches. Anti-tank obstacles had been built around crossings, with the roads between countries turned into fortified checkpoints. The whole area looked reminiscent of a massive demilitarized zone, which- technically- it was. The Directorate was taking no risks with its border security, and even now he watched as a squadron of MiG-31 aerospace fighters soared through the air overhead. Clutching hold of his cap, he could not help but smile as the subsonic blast of air buffeted the defenses. This was Soviet engineering at its finest, and the true work on the defenses had not yet even begun!

To his right, Commissar Katarina moved through the forest of plastic flaps, the woman's Commissariat cap being worn over a face concealed behind the wide lenses of a gas mask. "The chemical drill was a success, commandante." She declared in a monotone voice, "Of the entire company, only twenty failed to properly respond in time to a mustard gas attack in their barracks. I have since remanded those twenty to hard labor duty for the next week."

"A lenient punishment, wouldn't you say?" The Brigadier inquired, as the Commissar shook her head when the chemical seal was finally broken.

"We are not at war as it stands- a week of shoveling and backbreaking labor should be enough to drill the importance of staying alert into their heads. If we are to actually enter war again? Then, then I shall enact the full might of my powers." She stated bluntly, "But until that time, there is no need to crucify men that can aid us."

The Brigadier said nothing, only staring at the Bulgarian side of the river from his vantage point. They had not seen fit to attack the Directorate line, and perhaps with good reason: As fortified as they had made themselves, it would make a direct assault suicidal. With the massive coastal batteries being built in the port city of Constanta, so- too- would a sea-based attack be suicidal soon.

Today was the beginning of a good day, he could feel.

The United Federation of Merchants
A joint military exercise would be most favorable indeed! As a matter of fact, we would gladly have you participate in a number of war games between our respective governments.

In addition, technologically shared progress would be a wonderful thing! In exchange for the information of how to produce space-capable rockets, we shall gladly share our ability to produce a massive surplus of food with high-yield hydroponics facilities. It is most assuredly a fair trade!

As for the tariffs, we shall see on the matter of reducing them for the United Federation of Merchants- however, our economy is booming as it stands with the effort of producing the arms you have requested. We will certainly put the matter up to much debate! However, we would like to inquire as to the matter of a downpayment on the weapons you wish for us to build. Such a massive order of arms needs time and many resources to be produced, and a show of good faith would certainly not be out-of-order!

Ambassadorial response to the South Asian Co-Prosperity League
Arriving via a high-altitude rated C-17 variant with a pair of escort MiG-31s, the ambassador for the Directorate- Pyotr Lidiya- would give the League a friendly response. Marching down with a small contingent of Directorate men, the man gave a wide smile to the gathered forces.

"If it is durable and economically efficient you wish for, worry not! The Directorate has quite a number of armaments you may yet feast your eyes on. To begin with, we can offer you..."

There was a rumble of diesel engines as the first vehicle rolled down the offloading ramp, treads rattling as a BMD-1 came trundling forth.

"At the cheap price of only one hundred thousand Rubles, and with a crew of only three men, the Boyevaya Mashina Desanta is a light IFV to ensure superiorty in the field, as your air forces rule the skies above! Capable of carrying six men and their equipment, as well as a cargo load of up to six hundred kilos, she will prove a valuable armed workhorse for your men on the ground! With twenty three millimeters of armor at the front, she is very resistant to attacks from insurgent rocket launchers! Each unit comes equipped with a radio, Anti-Tank Sagger rocket- Mark Three- attached to the turret, a seventy three millimeter main gun, and PK MG mounted coaxially. It is fully amphibious with a light diesel engine."

The man paused a moment as the soldiers gave way to the second vehicle rolling down, the distinct shape of a tank coming to a halt next to the BMD-1.

"This, here, is the S-O-one-twenty! Based on the BMD-1 chassis, this light tank uses a one hundred and twenty millimeter mortar-cannon to lob shells at the enemy. With the same fully amphibious capabilities as the BMD-1, you will have a tank that can go toe-to-toe with other such vehicles of its class, and provide indirect fire support on whoever is giving you worries at the moment! For a mere investment of one hundred and fifty thousand Rubles apiece, we can gladly begin mainstream production of this fine, lightweight, and economically efficient vehicle!"

The ambassador's smile widened more as he revealed another sample piece of equipment, "Though we can produce many vehicles, we have thought it useful for another piece of light armor to be brought for a mere example of what we can produce at but a moment's notice!"

The last vehicle rolled down the ramp, an old- but very serviceable- tank.

"This is the M forty seven main battle tank, popularized several years ago for its ninety millimeter main gun! At the cost of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, you can drive around in your very own, forty-six tonne, tank! Equipped with the standard radio, range finders, and a skilled crew of five, you'll easily be dominating your neighbors with armored superiority over your fellow man!"

Hovertanks and surface skimmers escorted a massive landship through the desert. They were all gloriously painted in yellow,
and the soldiers were either sleeping, up on watch duty, or playfully exchanging logical riddles.

"The soldiers are happy, my brother", said the iman of Halin-4, a Tariq class assault hovertank, qur'an in hand and on his white uniform.
"No, they are distracted, camarade", answered the hovertank´s captain "out of a crew of one hundred, only the ten on watch duty can be counted on."
"Would you rather have them dumb and tense, than brilliant yet, what horror, at ease? My borther, that is a thought only fit for a russian."

There were ten hovertanks, fifty rapid skimmers and the one freighter, charged with thousands of tons of transcorn, to be brought to one of the new forward bases on inner Uzbekistan, where one million surplus muslims would be later on stationed.

"Do you really fear them so, my brother, that you would request so much firepower to dismiss a possible russian assault?"
"You know as well as I, camarade, that it was the generals who were the most cautious when it came to Uzbekistan. After all, this is merely a minor show of force, orchestrated by the Jihad Movement to placate the Jihad Movement."
"So it has grown out of its own control, so fast?"
"Yes, my camarade, the muslim people will once again thrust themselves to the taking of the planet."
"Led by generals afraid of the bear..."

Bussiness Politics

Forward bases are being created all over the frontier. The UCM has been ordered to mobilize its refuge and conversion forces, and all subsistence enterprises have been directed to supply for these new developments.
al-Kwarizmi laboratories and the People's Weapons have both sent their top men to a secluded particle collider in Iraq, no one knows yet why.

Handwritten Response to the Soviet Directorate

Yes, this would be most pleasing. To be succint, please be as kind to make us an offer.

United Federation of Merchants - Their stores never close, and their diplomats are never silent.

Diplomatic message to Mobile Nation of Japan.

Wise Leaders,
The United Federation of Merchants has being watching your progress over the seas with interest. As you well know our fleet of trade-ship encounter piracy issues as much as your own and we are fascinated by your response to it. Your floating cities and vast technology inspire the Federation and we wish to extend a hand of heartfelt friendship, in the hopes that we may work together in one day creating an international presence in space.

Our technology in reaching space is cutting edge, but we often find limitations to spending long periods in space. Perhaps with your marvelous systems we can work together to give man a permanent place among the stars.

In addition to these lofty goals, the Federation also see's the practicalities of your cities. And as such we would like you to consider a trade alliance with the Federation. Using these sea born cities we could ship our factories right next to the nation where profits would be most advantageous, and with our industry and your initiative profits can be shared by both our great nations.

Naturally such a close alliance would call for military co-corporation and the Federation would be very keen to begin a military alliance, of joint training and mutual support between our forces.

Please reply with your thoughts.
- The United Federation.


Diplomatic message to Soviet Directorate

It is in the sprite of friendship that we politely decline your offer for a full working exchange of technology. We fear that it may not be in either of our nations interests to exchange working technology of that scale. Instead the United Federation would gladly grant you access to our launch facilities and provide rocket craft for you usage for a fair fee, in exchange the Federation will gladly purchase your excesses of food, for what you deem to by a fair amount.
In this way neither nation shall lose advantage globally, but through close alliance we may work together to reach common goals.

The Federation understands that some technology you may wish to send to space will be of sensitive nature. We will offer our complete guarantee of discretion and sensitivity to any works you wish to undertake employing our technology.

Down-payment for the weapons is being Flown out to you in the form of Federation Dollars. Using current exchange rates as predicted by our stock markets.

We look forward to a long and profitable friendship.


Diplomatic message to Canada

Greetings wise Leaders,
The United Federation of Merchants brings you well wishes. In recent years I'm sure you have taken notice of our rapid expansion and large industry. As such we would like to request a free-trade agreement, in which the goods of our two nations may be freely exchanged, additionally to this we would like to inquire as to land investment rights for our public's. We feel that this would be in the best interests of both our nations and will more than likely result in a higher standard of living for the peoples in both our nations.

Please response as soon as possible.
OOC: What I'm trying to do here is use the UFM's industrial advantage to weaken the Canadian dollar in order to allow the UFM to invest heavily in Canadian infrastructure allowing the UFM to trade Canadian resources at a lower price to itself. Effectively strengthening UFM while weakening Canada's GLOBAL position by strengthening its local position (increased jobs, wages, infrastructure).


OOC: The UFM is still awaiting a reply from the The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic

[alexeduardo]

To the UFM
Indeed, such an alliance would be of much benefit to both our nations. Your trading ships shall be granted access to our ports. And as for other types of alliances, the UMSR proposes the creation of a Peace Council to ensure stability in our precious trade region, should we invite the leaders of Africa as well?

[Randel]

Mobile Nation of Japan

Response to the United Federation of Merchants


To the great United Federation of Merchants,
We would be proud to assist in your lofty goals in both space exploration and of course the use of our mobile infrastructure for trade.

The life support, food production, and fabrication technologies needed for prolonged work in the ocean could very well assist in the exploration of space and visa-versa. A mutual sharing of our technologies in these areas would doubtless benefit both our nations in their chosen paths of expansion. With the United Federation of Merchants paving the way for mankinds future in the stars and the Mobile Nation of Japan helping mankind utilize the 75% of our planets surface that is underwater.

With our cooperation, mankind will surely survive the century and prosper in the millennium to come.

As for a military co-operation, we also look forward to it. Ocean colonization is quite different from expansion across the land and it lends itself to piracy. We will need to expand our navy as well to protect our additional seaborn cities and an alliance between our two nations navies would help ease the strain and expenses.

So yes, perhaps we should have our respective generals meet together and work out the details?


Internal Affairs


Military:

In light of our work of expanding out into the Ocean, our effective national boarders are increasing at a great rate. This would naturally stretch our naval defenses rather thin. Coupled with the need to cycle out our old equipment and replace them, it puts some demands on our military.

Our current plan is to raise funding to our military to replace any outdated ships or equipment and keep our military competitive with the rest of the world. Any old military ships that are deemed unsuitable for defense purposes may be reused for civilian purposes... primarily industrial or for trade. Naturally such reused ships will have all weapons systems removed before going on the open market and they will only be sold to Japanese buyers to ensure they won't wind up in the hands of the pirates we are fighting.


Business:
Cybus Industries - Working on robotics and other electronic systems for industrial or military use.

Ryan Industries - Work on building new boats, submarines, and the technology to maintain them. Also the fishing, aquaculture and OTEC tech.

Fontaine Futuristics - Medicines, drugs, and life support systems for the country and ocean life.

Projects:
Cybus Industries:
Cyber AWCS (Airborn Weapon Contact System) - A type of long distance airborne drone used for military use. Either for recon or attack by using mounted weapons or missiles. Mainly used to attack pirate ships from a distance.
CyberSharks - Aquatic robot drones that can patrol the oceans to collect recon data or attack ships with torpedoes.

Ryan Industries:
Man of Peace Housing - Work on building a general purpose aquatic platform that can be used for making housing or factories on the ocean. Keep them affordable while safe.
Home OTEC - Work on making cheap and reliable OTEC systems so that civilian businesses on the ocean can get access to renewable energy and the vitamins and minerals extracted from ocean water.

Fontane Futuristics:
O2Forever - Designing an oxygen scrubbing system that should work for both submarines or spaceships.
Centrifugal Couch - A centrifugal system (http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-07/artificial-gravity-fights-space-atrophy) used to combat muscular and skeletal atrophy in space, or from prolonged bed-rest.


The People:

Show the people that a new future awaits our expansion into the ocean. Have students learn about technology and make sure everyone knows how to swim (or knows safety around the ocean).

Our potential alliances with the United Federation of Merchants could bring our peoples together. See if our anime and manga industries can churn out anything that portrays the UFM in a favorable light or deals with their culture.

Our plans to create mobile seaborne cities would require a good understanding of other nations and their cultures while retaining our own. Keep the news and media from spreading unfavorable stereotypes about other nations (but don't gloss over the truth) while showing our own scientific greatness. Wacky hijinks are okay, of course.

[Gunther]

Vladimir Petr, Chairman of the Directorate, could not help but laugh. Here he was, having finally returned to his workplace after a pleasant stroll through the industrial districts of Saint Petersburg, and he had come upon this? It was a pleasant surprise indeed, to find two well-written missives! Truly, truly he had found himself lucky to receive such a quick response to his original messages. But it only expanded his smile when he stepped around his desk to actually read them. Discarding the worn gloves he had purchased off a dock worker for another day's fun, he had walked in to read the two messages from the comfort of his high-backed chair. The office he usually worked in was not like the offices of other government leaders: It was neither a personal palace nor an airy, high-brow place. It consisted mostly of a large desk with plenty of elbow room, a leather chair made for an even split between leather and fabric, a personal computer with a wireless keyboard and mouse for ease-of-use, a television, and a fireplace near a bookshelf. The floor was made of carpet, and it was fairly evident that the entire room was designed to feel more like a den in some woodland household than a world leader's private decision-making room.

Of course, the approach to that den was fitting for such a world leader. He was by no means a slouch in his personal security when he was actually doing business- there were enough men with guns here to keep everything but a very dedicated and talented strike force from getting at him. Even then, they had better be packing something a bit stronger than the usual...

Speaking of which, he gave a stray eye to the massive genetically enhanced purebred sprawled out before the crackling fireplace. A Saint Bernard, genetically enhanced with the ferocity of a very large bear, let out a long sigh as she nuzzled against the carpet. Such a massive and powerful dog had proven a good way to intimidate personal guests of the Chairman, considering that more than a few of those on the Board of Directors were quite terrified of such a massive and loyal dog. One of them had even tried to have her poisoned.

He did not survive.

But thinking as he did, he withdrew a pen from his desk, scrawling out a quick missive. They'd process it as they always did, adding words here, taking them out, but the message would still get through- he always made sure it did.

To the United Federation of Merchants
Shared usage of available facilities shall be greatly enjoyed! A series of satellites shall be produced with the coming year, and hopefully implemented in the same time frame! Your offer of privacy is appreciated, and as such we will be certain to send our own people to assist in the matter of national security.

As an addendum, it would be appreciated for you to approve of the international motion we have presented to the other major superpowers. After all, an independent party regulating the value of all the world's currencies can only aid the superpowers involved in it!

To the Union of Muslim Socialist Republic
We would like to present to you the rare opportunity of the new decade! While exact prices have yet to be decided, we are more than willing to supply you with anything from simple and economically efficient firearms to the latest in cutting edge military vehicles and aircraft! All that we would ask of you is to be able and willing to provide payment, in gold standard, for the arms provided. Ammunition, of course, sold separately.

To the United Federation of Merchants and the Mobile Nation of Japan: An international proposal
Long has the Directorate been the leader in international treaties and events! It is with the turn of the century that the Directorate has turned over a new leaf, and proposes a new institution to be implemented: An international council between our three super powers, in the interest of ensuring a steady monitoring of our individual economic situations, as well as aiding the monitoring of exchange rates around the world! We would like to propose the first World Banks to be constructed, an international banking firm with authority across continental borders! Under joint supervision by we three, we can ensure that wild inflation will never be a problem during any of our hopefully numerous future exchanges!

a message to all nations, great and small

Since the end of the Cold War, 20 years ago, the threat armargeddon has seemed to recede. However, with the recent porliforation of Nucular, chemical and biological weaponry, the threat of a smaller scale use of Weapons of Mass Destruction has increased signifcantly.

thus, the South Asian Co-Prosperity League would like to propose a new summit, to be held in in Hong Kong, with the intent of limiting the production and useage of WMDs amoung the singnitories.

It is our desire that our citizens, and all citizens of the world, be able to live thier lives without the threat of WMDS over them.



ooc

basically, this is a treaty where we aggree to a "No First Use" policy, and to not increase our nucular stockpiles (though we may replace old warheads with newer models), and to control the flow of chemicals suitable for making chemincal weaponry.

in short, we aggree to put nukes and nerve agents to one side while we blow each other up :smallbiggrin:

United Federation of Merchants

Message to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic

The UFM would glad sign on to your peace accord. We feel that global security and safety is of utter most importance. As such we would welcome any and all leaders to sign on to a non-aggression pact, we would also like as many to sign on for mutual assistance in the event that one of us suffers from the aggression of a neighbor.


Message to Soviet Directorate

The United Federation of Merchants will happily agree to this peace accord. We humbly suggest our capital city of Central City to be used as the capital of this new organization.


Message to Mobile Nation of Japan

It is good to see our dream reaches far. We shall send a few generals to meet your people to discuss the details of our new military undertaking. Together we will finally enjoy safe seas.


Message to South Asian Co-Prosperity League

We would be proud to sign on to this accord to prevent the spread of WMD's however the classifications of such weapons will need to be clarified. In addition we await your reply to our previous message, we fear it may have been delayed by a communication failure on our part.

We look forward to continued good relations.

Correct me if im wrong, all I saw throughout your posts is that you are supplying your military. (that's about all I could make of your posts at least). Did I miss any trade agreements or anything?

Government-
Few changes are met over the comming year. International trade becomes a big-time deal as nations plan against one another.

Military-
All of your buissness (those that apply) are putting their efforts into focus of their specific fields, or into enforcing your military. As such, your military is well funded, and is producing at an excellent rate.
Buissness-
Your buissness work to either further their own specific goals, or to increase your militaries force. As such, your buissness's have yet to devote specific reasources to one task, beyond that of supplying your military. Your economic structure advances little.

Please tell me if I missed anything. The posts have gotten hectic and it's hard to keep up with the disorganization.

Government-
Many foreign relations are established and strengthened. Your people become stronger for it.

Military-
Your military had not expanded far over the year. However there was plenty of time to worry about that.
Buissness-
The entire year is spent with a single project in mind. Your people co-operate as a whole to begin production of te superconducter railway system. This process will take 3 turns to complete, and uses 10% of all your reasources.
Religion-
Little changes in religion over one years time.

Your government advanes little over the year. New treaties and trade routes open up to you from among many cultures.

Military-
Your military is almost non-existant. A fact that worries your people greatly. with such strong militant forces from your allies, this could prove poor quickly. However trade with the soviet is improving this, even if slightly.

Government-
Your government knows the facts. You won't be able to keep up the operation for long, and your entire people will fall. Your civilization requires heavy trade, and improved production values if they are going to get the nescessary income to fix themselves.

Military-
Your military force leaves alot to be desired. Your ever dwindling economic value, and the level of reasources actually being produced is hurting you, alot.
Buissness-
Cybus Industries - Working on robotics and other electronic systems for industrial or military use. (What are you researching exactly?)

Ryan Industries - Work on building new boats, submarines, and the technology to maintain them. Also the fishing, aquaculture and OTEC tech. (This project will use 1% of your industry reasources. New ships will be produced every 10 years.)

Religion-
Your religious structure has yet to change. However it is only a matter of time before something new catches on.

Your people see the countries crippled economical state. Incapable of getting the nescessary reasources to fuel their industry. This is causing your people great upset, and can lead to riots and anarchy.

To Everyone- I know I must probably alot of stuff. But everyone's actions are scattered, and I can't spend too long trying to go through everything and write up a post. So if I missed anything, please PM me (or post in the OoC) and I will correct it to this post.

As for military structures, I am sure there are some holes.

Finally, time to alot "Country values!". basically, it's a yearly income value that will differentiate depending on everyone's action entirely. The weaker a nation is, the less income it makes. Income can be used to trade with other civilizations (if yo udon't wanna spend your hard earned reasources) (or if you can't), or to invest in your OWN projects. Whatever leftover income your civilization has will be turned into reasources. (basically, relfecting how frugle you've been this year).

Greetings leaders of the world,
The United Federation of Merchants is proud to offer its telecommunication network for public and private sector usage. For a reasonable fee we will construct the necessary dishes in order to make use of the system. There will naturally be a small charge for general useage, and a higher charge for military useage.

We hope to continue to satisfy your every desire.


Diplomatic Message to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic

Wise leader of The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic,

We are intrigued by your recent movement of forces. We understand the need to defend one's boarders but you seem to be advancing on Africa with some might. We worry that these actions may weaken foreign nations resolve to sign on to your peace accord. Could you perhaps enlighten us as to your intent?

To our brothers of the UFM
Africa has always had a history of being an unruly territory, unsafe and unsound for even its own citizens. We at the UMSR seek only to pacify the territory by offering protection to those goverments wich seem the most peaceful, and getting rid of clearly criminal and terrorists organizations, which is clearly the aim of any multinational peace treaty.

[WrathOfLife]

United Federation of Merchants - Communication + troop movement

Response to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republic

Then your mission is just and as a member of the peace accord we will send our troops to help support your own and assist you in ensuring a strong government is installed.

May peace rule.


The UFM sends 100 of its men, equipped with the new weapons and armor to work with the UMSR forces. The troopers will be careful to monitor the activities and uncover corruption.

Vladimir Petr leaned forward, staring at the video clip playing with a stern face. It was of poor quality, taken with a camcorder from the scene of what was now being referred to amongst the Directors as "The Incident". Tapping a key on the remote control, he stared as the clip rolled from the beginning of the Incident, skipping past a relatively unimportant van ride. The family in question seemed to be a standard nuclear family: Father, mother, and two children.

The son of the camera's holder, identified as Mister Leonid, was apparently heading off to join up with the military. A number of families were present at the aerospace airfield, the whole place lit up in lights as hundreds of people went to bid their sons and daughters once last goodbye as they left for their service. Some were returning soldiers on yet another tour of duty, others just young men doing their mandatory term of service in the Soviet armed forces. Either way, it was a festive mood, Misses Leonid in tears as she and her six-year-old daughter bid the young man goodbye.

It was a scene replayed several times as the young men, dressed in ceremonial red sashes, prepared to board the waiting transport. It was here where the Incident began.

As the band began to finish the triumphant march, and the soldiers said their last goodbyes before boarding, there was a loud cough. Then another.

To the Chairman of the Directorate, those sounds were instantly recognized, but to the people in the crowd, only a few people glanced at whoever was rude enough to interrupt such a tender moment. The first sign that something was wrong was a shrill shriek, followed by the roar of automatic fire. Cries for mercy and help fell on deaf ears as the camera shakily caught the carnage going on along the ground floor.

Six men, clad in ballistic weave jumpsuits with thick kevlar pads, marched in. Each one wore a blancava to conceal his features, but the words they spoke, as well as the guns they bore, were unmistakable. Entering from the front entrance of the airport, the revolving doors

"Death to the Directorate!" One shouted, as he fired a burst from his Howa Type 89. Against unarmed men, women, and children in the open? It was the scythe of Death. A ragged stream of bullets ripped through the neck of a pregnant mother, performing a lead-based beheading. An older man threw himself over his grandson, the four year old's eyes wide as a sustained burst caused his heart to explode like a balloon. Eighty people were caught in a six-man crossfire of Japanese assault rifles and even a light machine gun. Rather than retreat after butchering so many, the killers progressed on, splitting off into three groups of two.

Every adult in that room had served a tour of duty, but even military training couldn't save them- unarmed and unarmored, caught in open ground, they were like sheep to the slaughter. A teenage couple attempted to scale up the escalators as the first alarms began to sound, but a quick shotgun blast caused the innards of the woman to spray over her lover, the man holding the camcorder retching as he attempted to turn and leave.

Another burst of gunfire was followed by a gurgling sound, Vladimir's face unflinching as he saw the camera skitter across the floor, its lens cracking as the digital tape got a bit blurry.

The video ended there, the room dead silent beyond the crackle of the fireplace as Vladimir picked up his pen. Drawing a pre-stamped sheet of paper, he wrote a very short message. It was more than curt, but less than terse, and it did the job quite well. Quite well indeed.

With the release of the film dating the terrorist attack of the Mobile Nation of Japan, the Directorate also releases a number of similar videos of several similar attacks, thwarted by either Soviet armed forces or quick response units. Bank statements indicating foreign transfer of funds, as well as immigration papers of the terrorists in question, will be provided to the public eye.

As well as the public execution of several recently captured suspects in similar terrorist acts, with the added emphasis of ensuring that the men behind these activities- the leaders of the Mobile Nation of Japan- pay for their crimes against the Directorate's innocent civilians.

In addition to this, with the borders still being fortified by a basic garrison of troops, focus is shifted towards delivering retribution towards the leaders of the Mobile Nation of Japan. Emphasis is put on the fact that the civilian population will be given a chance to flee: Provided they leave within a week of being informed via a leaflet bombing campaign for non-hostile territory and willingly submit to the presence of Soviet troops, they will be unharmed. Those who submit willingly will benefit from being incorporated into Soviet citizens, with the free health care, education, and public transportation that entails!

Those who resist, or actively seek to attack, Soviet troops will be dealt with swiftly and effectively. This is not intended to be a massacre: It is an occupation for their own good, until a proper government can be established and terrorist elements dealt with.


Business As Usual
Almaz Antey will continue supplying Soviet troops, but with the focus shifted from fortification to amphibious and air-based weaponry. Fortification supplies will continue to be produced, but for now the main focus is ships, aircraft, and additional weapons for trade.

Rosnanotech will proceed with their research as they will.

Obinsk will continue to provide nuclear energy with the uranium provided to them. Let the power supplies of the Directorate never run out, let every house burn as bright as the sun with socialist energy!

Perestroika Foundations will continue to work on new steel production techniques.

Kalash Productions will begin the exportation of gold, timber, and consumer goods to needy countries, and lower the steel tariff to supplement the current demand for the precious metal.

Cogitiri Computers will continue with giving all of Russia improved cyber-access. All of Russia shall enjoy unparalleled internet access and wireless communication!

Vevso Pharmaceuticals will continue producing chemicals, building a surplus up.

Zellus Productions will begin a massive campaign of propaganda supporting the occupation and "Reformation of our Japanese neighbors from the clutches of terror-wielding dictators and manipulative monsters", as well as extolling the virtues of the brave soldiers fighting across the sea and the plight of those that acted bravely against the Japanese terrorists on their soil.

Karu Security will be given a six hundred million dollar loan to enhance their recruiting and operations around the world, at 20% interest every four years

Aerologistics is to begin construction of a series of Russian telecommunication and GPS satellites, for deployment via UFM shuttles.

Digital Mutual Brokers is to be given a hundred million dollar investment to play the stock market, with the intent of getting back at least triple that.

Ferrell Fabrication Dynamics will continue to churn out consumer goods for the populace at large at low prices, as well as for exportation. The Soviet Directorate keeps its people happy!

Johnston Power Of Brussels are to begin writing up the legal contracts necessary to allow for a full investigation into any Japanese defectors to the Soviet cause, as well as allowing them to join should investigation prove fruitless.

Sherman Instrument's Biological Entertainment is to be given a six hundred million dollar investment to begin the widespread enhancement of Soviet ground troops to be deployed, as well as to develop new means of gene-tailoring children.

Electric Education Group is to begin a widespread online campaign of patriotic promotions, looking to instill support in the troops abroad and support of the Directorate on the home front and in international circles.

Directorate Chemical Metals is to continue on schedule.

Healthy Nucleosoft is to use a bonus of uranium supplies to develop additional medical technologies and surgical techniques with nuclear-powered devices.

Summary:
World Bank chapter formed in Moscow, where exchange can begin freely.

Directorate agrees to the WMD treaty, on the exception that it is allowed to utilize them in defense of its territories (Primarily via the "Nuclear Landmine" variant).

Karu Securities begin to expand their operations, attempting to set up operation and recruitment centers in each nation and continent.

Importation of steel begins, and exportation of timber, gold, consumer goods, and guns. Quite the ratio!

Aerologistics begins construction of satellites, with the intent of deploying them later in the year.

One billion Rubles spent in investments and loans.

Arms production shifts on a focus towards ships, aircraft, and amphibious weaponry.

OoC-

Government-
Your government, along with the support of many buissness, continue the many stages of propaganda and military campaigns to keep the people pacified. And so far, everyone seems to be ok with this.

Military-
Your military forces nearly double in the last year. So much money sunk into military practises would normally be viewed as useless economically. But not in these trying times. The people are out for revenge against the japanese who so ruthlessly attempted to take over soviet directorate soil!

Buissness-

Almaz Antey: This project will be continous, consuming 3% Food Reasources, Steel Reasources, and Fuel Reasources. (+1 Value)

Obinsk: This project will be continous, consuming 10% Uranium Reasources. (+2 Value)

Perestroika: This uses your remaining 2% steel reasources. Reaserch should be complete in the next seven years. (+1 Value)

Kalash: (Feel free to trade with other nations anytime).

Cogitiri Computers: This project was completed this year and uses your remaining 8% silicon reasource reserves. (+1 Value)

Vevso: This project is continous, and uses 5% trade reasources.(+1 Value)

Zellus Productions: This campaign uses 5% of your trade reasources, and shows great progress this year. Your people seem most suseptable to propaganda campaigns in times of great misfortune or mistrust. (+1 Value)

Karu Security: This project uses 600,000,000$ currency and increases the security output, as well as over-all income of the company. (+6 Value)

Aerologistics: Unfortunately you do not have the reasources to complete this project in a reasonable amount of time.

Digital Mutual Brokers: 100,000,000$ Currency is expended in this practise. Your odds of returning triple your investment is low, however your chance of making a noticable return, let alone a net gain, is considerably better. This project will add +5,000$ each turn you leave your investment to sit. (GM Warning: The longer it sits the more likely it can completely drop as well, it's a gamble, know your economy). (+X Value)

Ferrell Fabrication Dynamics: This project uses 10% Trade reasources and produces enough production to keep all of your own populace happy, as well as enough surplus to trade to other countries. (+1 Value)

Johnston Power Of Brussels: The contract is completed, and gives you the O.K. to move into japanese soil apon a collective vote by all nations. Until that time, entering japanese air, land, or ocean borders may prove more drastic then reasourceful. (+1 Value)

Sherman Instrument's Biological Entertainment: 600,000,000$ Currency is consumed in this project. This double's your military production (and therefore it's size and power) for six turns. (+6 Value)

Electric Education Group: This campaign costs 5% trade reasources, and increases the moral of troops, and happiness and support of the citizens.
(+1 Value)

Healthy Nucleosoft: There is not enough available reasources this turn to complete the listed project.


Religion-
Your religious structure holds tight, little change over one year's time.

Hay, I need you to clean up your posts a bit. Mostly because I have pretty much no idea where your sending your men. Remember this game is using real-world geography, but no one ever said the locations had to be named the same. Even assuming they are, im not entirely sure within which nation's borders your acting. And obviously mobilizing troops outside your own borders is bad.

Anyways that's my major concern. So try to clean your posts up a bit so I can get through my job faster and easier. Thanks.

Government-
Few changes are met over the comming year. International trade becomes a big-time deal as nations plan against one another.

All of your buissness (those that apply) are putting their efforts into focus of their specific fields, or into enforcing your military. As such, your military is well funded, and is producing at an excellent rate.

Your government advanes little over the year. New treaties and trade routes open up to you from among many cultures.

Your military is almost non-existant. A fact that worries your people greatly. with such strong militant forces from your allies, this could prove poor quickly. However trade with the soviet is improving this, even if slightly.

- Importation of steel begins, and exportation of timber, gold, consumer goods, and guns. Quite the ratio! (This is more of a "hay guys, lookit what the soviets are buying/selling. No REAL national importance.)

- Invasion Treaty: The soviets want to enter japanese space during an effective time of war. It comes down to a unanimous vote of their peers (you guys) to decide whether or not this is justified. If not, it is war if the soviets enter japanese borders. If you DO agree, it is not war, they are free to occupy.

(If I missed any otheri mportant legal mumbo jumbo lemme know)

I'll do my best!

Forward bases have been established in the Somalian peninsula and the balkans, the Greek goverments are being pressured to enter an assosiation with the UMSR.
al-Kwarizmi labs and The People's Guns have finished working on a new Rail Cannon, it is to be equipped on all major hoverships and fortifications (2 turns).
The Defensive Perimeter is almost finished all across the pakistani border, only a few more tribes need to be...integrated to finish entirely (1 turn)

Wise leader,

We present our fully written contract for the continued supply of arms to our nation. We additionally would like to discuss your movement of forces into Japanese waters.

We struggle to understand your reasoning for the attack and would like to see your evidence of their aggression. We fear we cannot support international aggression, unless a good cause is provided. We wish to continue with good relations and assure you that this incident will not damage our relations with you, however we will defend our standpoint on international aggression.

We hope you understand.

We can produce a few observation satellites for you.In turn we ask for assistance. We have seen your new weapons and consider them with interest. We would like to work with you on the production of a space-based rail gun for the purpose of defending our two nations.

With these weapons protecting our nations from space, we would have little to fear from the aggressions below.

In addition we can supply metals and materials for you to use in construction or employ our own industry to process them for you.

We look forward to your response.

To the UFM
We accept, the treaty shall be signed and made into law as soon as is possible. Many regards from our people.

The first Grand Fleet of the Directorate had been long in the making. A full two years of nothing but making ships and weapons. A good number of guns had been exported to the United Federation of Merchants and the Muslims, but an even larger portion had been kept in the Soviet arms factories. With the terrorist attack, meant to cow the Soviets into paying the Japanese bribe money, all of those guns had finally been put to good use.

Stukov, Vice Admiral of the Second Armada, had been appointed to lead the assault fleet to Kappa Lagan. There were four Armadas in the Grand Fleet- each one assigned to a different city. They were to provide escort and cover support for the Marine Intercontinental Expeditionary Units. Each MIEU consisted of a number of individual task forces, ranging from prototype heavy artillery guns with smart shells to fast-attack skimmers armed with large-bore machine guns and automatic grenade launchers. Troop transports formed the core of this force, massive landing craft with steel hulls and smoke-belching engines.

However, the transports- though powerful they were- did not serve as the flagships of the fleet. Even with their complex radar systems, sonar buoys, and the bristling guns that made them able to fend off pirate ships, the vessels hardly had the raw power to be deservedly called the flagships of the fleet. No, that distinct honor belonged to one of only four of its kind in the entire armada. It was the DNS Moskau, a superheavy aircraft carrier designed for the sole purpose of keeping the fleet's aerospace fighters and bombers operational. Not to mention the regular aircraft, like the helicopters and VTOLs! It was a hub of activity, even as they sailed across the salty waters. From the engine crews working to maintain her cold fission reactor, to the deck crews loading the magnetized launch catapults. Pilots scurried to waiting aircraft as sorties began to launch. Equipped with six such magnetic catapults, the aircraft carrier could launch an entire flight in the air in under a minute. An entire squadron could be made combat-capable in under five minutes provided the ship was at full stations. Double that if they were not on alert.

The bridge itself was an impressive display of a flagship's command and control capabilities. A series of radio dishes, cellular antennae, and wireless transponders and receivers had been set in a network of wiring along the fortified bridge. Inside, however, the myriad of electronics had been simplified down to a number of much more simple banks. In the darkness of the night, a number of dim red operational lights had been turned on to prevent long-distance ranging shots from any Japanese prowler ships. Designed with efficiency in mind, the crew operated from four central pits, each one devoted to a certain aspect of the fleet's operation: Coordination, Fire Control, Sensors, and Communications. With ten people working at the high-speed computers within each bank, the massive aircraft carrier- once an "Admiral Kuznetsov" model- had been refurbished into a true symbol of Soviet might and cooperation.

"Vice Admiral Stukov?" An ensign from the communication platform spoke up, Stukov's eyes darting to the young man's face. Clad in a standard-issue naval suit, the young man wore a bulky headset complete with a microphone. He would not have looked out-of-place as the pit crew chief of a race car driver. "The forward cutters report sightings of a small group of pirate ships in our path. Major Dmitriev is requesting permission to have his men deploy and commander the ships."

Stukov stared at the distant waters, before looking down at the large table set up. One meter by two, the large table had a pictographic representation of the fleet. He had dearly wished for a satellite overview of the operation, but Soviet engineering had not quite...progressed that far.

"Spetsnaz, deploying to deal with mere pirates?" The admiral scoffed, waving a dismissive hand to the young man. "Order the Major to pull his cutters back and tag the ships in question on infrared. Have Hammer squadron deal with the targets from there. Let us see how well pirates can deal with autocannons and guided bombs!"

"And the prisoners, Admiral?" The young man inquired, as orders began to filter though the bridge. Outside, over a score of pinpricks in the sky went dark, their signal lights being disabled for silent running. The only light visible from them was the wake of their high-powered engines, which cut a streak across the water in their wake. The sonic backwash simply made the bullet resistant windows vibrate a bit.

"Execute them."

Diplomatic message to The Union of Muslim Socialist Republics
The ambassador of the Soviet Directorate had not taken the blunt message of the Muslim people very kindly. Having been an atheist man at heart, it had already unsettled him to deal with these filthy ragheads and their strange ways. He had half expected them to sacrifice a cow at the foot of his bed to appease some strange, evil spirits.

But after he had calmed his initial nerves from being accused of using the terrorist attack as some sort of cover, he had calmed his nerves. Taking with him a disc containing the videos of the various attacks foiled, as well as the successful one at the airport, he had made sure for a speedy escort to the Ayatollah Council's local representatives. After a very thorough search of himself and his personal guards, he had eventually made his point to the men.

Letting the videos of unexploded bombs, the gun camera videos of Spetsnaz soldiers gunning down terrorist hostage-takers, and the tape from the airport all roll before him, the ambassador had taken on a very cool tone of voice, speaking to the men in a much more refined manner than they had spoken with him and- by extension- the Soviet Directorate.

"The only ambition we have in the oriental lands is to ensure the orchestrating figures of these terrorist attacks are removed from power, and proper rule restored to the people of the Mobile Nation of Japan. We do not wish for any ill will between our nations, and whilst we do not doubt your intentions for the nations you are conquering are benign, do take what is going on now as an example. The Directorate will not be trifled with, and its member nations are no longer pacifists. We do hope, however, to have your continuing business in the future- as well as additional pleasant diplomatic ties. May death come to the enemies of your god Allah!"

And with that, the diplomat left, his share said and done. If the Muslims wished to be idiots and attempt to wage war on the Directorate, which was only taking care of its own problems, it would not benefit them in any way- they would be much better served looking to their own interests, rather than looking to try and take a chunk out of the Directorate.

Chairman visit to the United Federation of Merchants
Vladimir Petr had come to visit the people of the Federation, in Central City, Panama. The man had arrived via private aerospace jet, with only a small security detail of less than a score of men. The best men in the whole of the Directorate, yes, but only that handful. His arrival had been somewhat iconic of his way of approaching diplomacy: A fruity drink with an umbrella in it in his right, and a briefcase in his left. Dressed in a simple white shirt and contrasting black pants, the man had walked down the stairs to a stream of cameras and photographs. From the back of the jet, the reinforced limo had been wheeled out, as well as the two duplicates.

A bit of a juggling game had went on after the man had boarded, doubles pre-positioned at the limousines working in conjunction with the security personnel to ensure the Chairman's safe visit to the Federation's political heart.

Once there, the well-toned Russian had made his point very short and clear. Taking the podium, having since changed into a much more fine suit, his demeanor had become much more serious. The drink was gone, replaced- instead- with the contract assuring the United Federation's political support of the war against Japan. The suit case was hefted at this point, with a heavy rattling sound. Its contents had been identified as harmless by MAD detectors, though few would expect the leader of the Directorate to bring anything like a bomb to a meeting like this.

"Gentlemen of the Federation, you wish to see a 'reason' for our war. You wish to see why our men now sail into Japanese waters, why they bring with them guns and weapons of war. Weapons of war you are buying, even now, from us."

It was at this point that he upended the briefcase, and there was a long ringing sound of clattering brass. Shell casings fell like a waterfall from the container, scratching the hardwood surface of the desk he stood behind. Over a hundred empty bullet casings, some deformed and other still whole, sprayed across the desk. Shaking the briefcase as it continued to empty, the bullets scattered in a wide pattern, a good number of them falling to the carpeted floor of the meeting room.

"There are exactly one hundred and forty-seven casings here." Vladimir declared, looking the Merchant representative in the eye, "Each one represents a life lost to the terrorist attacks of the Japanese. Their intent has become clear- to cow the Directorate into paying them blood money, in exchange for ceasing and desisting in terrorist attacks against our people. Their opening conflict was not one of territory: It was one of far worse."

Lifting one of the spent casings up, he continued, "These casings are of the exact same size, make, and model as the rounds used by the insurgents. Each casing represents not only a life lost, but a family devastated. I have spoken with the families of each victim of these attacks, from the bank holdups to the sheer, visceral slaughter of innocents. I have seen the friends and families of one hundred and forty-seven people shed tears and express sorrow at what has transpired. If you wish to see the reason for this war on corruption, then I will gladly have those people brought here, to these chambers, and tell you in person why we are doing this. This is more than money, or land, or personal interests- this is in the name of ensuring that lives cannot be equated to money."

Vladimir set the briefcase down as his men gathered up the spent casings, putting them back inside in ordered rows.

"And I am willing to repeat that again, and again, giving any who doubt the righteousness of the Soviet Directorate the exact same message. If you are worried for the safety of the Japanese citizens, do not- we will only harm them if they resist. This is not revenge: This is the elimination of those responsible for the attacks on our people."

And with that, Vladimir awaited a response.

The attack will be launched as planned, regardless of approval or not. Any who deride the Soviet cause will be given the same message: This is not vengeance, but the elimination of those sick monsters that would dare wage a terrorist attack on Soviet citizens!

In addition, the Directorate agrees to the United Federation of Merchants' proposed contract.

The Directorate adds that it will sign the WMD treaty.

Business Dealings: Fuel the war with our industry!
Almaz-Antey will divert back to the industry of producing fortifications for the protection of the Directorate. The lasp in security is unforgivable, and the production of the continental defensive line must not be stalled by setbacks!

Rosnanotech will be tasked with researching new production techniques with miniaturized machinery, allowing for more construction to go on under one roof!

Obinsk Foundation will continue providing nuclear power to all of Russia!

Perestroika Foundations will continue to work on new steel production techniques.

Kalash Productions will continue the exportation of gold, timber, and consumer goods to needy countries, and lower the steel tariff to supplement the current demand for the precious metal.

Cogitiri Computers will, with the surplus of silicon, begin the research of basic artificial intelligence, which will allow for unrivaled processing and research power!

Vevso Pharmaceuticals will continue producing chemicals, building a surplus up.

Zellus Productions will proceed with their propaganda campaign, working to boost reenlistment rates, as well as promoting the virtues of the soldier abroad and the worker in his workplace.

Karu Security will use their mercenaries to aid in the occupation of Japan. Once the Soviet ground troops succeed in eliminating resistance, Karu Security troopers will take over the actual occupation itself, with Soviet overwatch.

Aerologistics is to begin research on hydrogen processing techniques. Russia shall lead the way in fuel! (Devote 5% Fuel to the project)

Digital Mutual Brokers is continue rolling the profit they made. Of the three hundred million given to them, two hundred million will be withdrawn.

Ferrell Fabrication Dynamics will continue to churn out consumer goods for the populace at large at low prices, as well as for exportation.

Hinton Frontier will continue to produce cheap, easily accessible automobiles for the consumer market to utilize. A car for every man!

Johnston Power Of Brussels are to continue doing as they usually do, primarily creating laws that will allow the integration of Soviet business laws into Japanese commerce, as well as full investigations into suspected Japanese spies.

Sherman Instrument's Biological Entertainment is to continue their research.

Electric Education Group is to continue the widespread online campaign of patriotic promotions, as well as glorifying the industrial production of the Directorate.

Directorate Chemical Metals is to continue on schedule.

Healthy Nucleosoft is to aid in the production of medicine alongside Vevso Pharmaceuticals.

Summary:
Directorate gave more in-depth reasoning

Directorate is going to proceed with the occupation regardless of input, due to the nature of the war's beginnings. Karu Security will provide the forces for occupation after the original battle is won.

Cogitiri Computers, now that the Soviet is fully wired, will begin research on the first simulated intelligences, using brain scans.

Aerologistics will begin research on hydrogen fuel production and usage.

UFM response to the delegate from the Soviet Directorate.

A round of warm appluse met the chairmans passionate speech. But the questions lingered. A chairman of the UFM rose to the floor to question the speech.

"Honorable minster, There is not a man nor woman here would refuse you justice in response to these attacks. But war is not justice. It is war.

You have made a very compelling arugement and one, that at heart, we agree with. Yes, you should have justice, Yes you should be safe, Yes you have the right to protect your citizens. But! And this is a very important but. You must ensure that you find the right people responsible for these attacks. You have provided NO proof that the Japanese government is behind these attacks. You say that the attackers were using Japanese weapons, well as you yourself admit, we buy your weapons. Is it hard to imagine that some one might be buying Japanese weapons, or perhaps copying them? I do not believe so.

We fully support any attempt to bring the criminals who supported such actions to justice. But we must be CERTAIN they are criminals. For if we are mistaken, then are we not terrorists ourselves?"

The Chairman sits admit a roar of applause his argument appealing to the critical thinking so heavily embedded in UFM culture.
