[Veers]

Country: USSR (Russia)


Leader:Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev who was a politician who led the Soviet Union during part of the Cold War.


Government Type: Communist


Current State of Country: After WWII ending and no true threat, (sort of other than America) on the rise, the life for the soviets in a place of peace. The Soviet Union has also taken over and expanded over the past 10 years. This can be thought as a threat to the United States. With this being alternate history, the Berlin wall was never put up as well.


With a fear of the Nazis rising again, the Soviet Union has put more into its military force and has done a lot to help it.

Country: The Federal Republic of Germany

Leader:


Ludwig Beck, who was a German general and Chief of the German General Staff during the early years of the Nazi regime in Germany before World War II. Ludwig Beck was never a member of the Nazi Party, though in the early 1930s he supported Adolf Hitler's forceful denunciation of the Versailles Treaty and belief in the need for Germany to rearm.

Government Type: Republic


Overview of Country: Since the treaty of Berlin Germany has been trying to recover. The nation started focusing on strengthening their economy, and fortified their Eastern borders, fearing that the Soviet Union will try to invade them again. The Deutsche Marine (German navy) has gone under heavy modernization, upgrading the U-boats. The Luftwaffe has also undergone a massive upgrade, using mainly Me 262 jets, and also a few Horten Ho 229 Stealth Jet fighters. The Heer has continued production of the Tiger II and are upgrading and modernizing remaining Tiger Is and Panzer V (Panthers). The Germans have also launched many anti smoking campaigns, and are pioneering in new more efficient energy sources that won't pollute as much area. The Heer (Army) has also resumed mass producing of the stG 44, and the Fn FAL. The Panzer VIII (Maus) has also been tested, and some are placed in defensive positions. The German economy is currently one of the strongest in Europe, and are using the older Panzer hulls (II-IV) and converting them to construction vehicles. The Republic is also constructing many more railroads and designing new trains. Germany has also started being prominent in the car industry, selling thousands of Audi's, BMW's, and Volkswagen's.

Country: Kingdom of Italy

Leader: King Victor Marono I - the King Who Works Daily


Bio: Victor Marono came to power around the time, when his father King Emmanuel III abdicated his throne, at the wake of immence civil discontent - namely related to, the death of Benito Mussolini and his ideals of fascism and running Italy like a dictatorship.


Most Italians, and Victor in particular remember, that their country was spared capture, only by the aid of the Germans and the signed peace-agreements. Since the signing of the 1944 Peace Accords, followed by a vote of Republic or Monarchy - Victor returned from his studies in Austria. He possessed a degree in economics and was a good speaker - promising the Italian people, new hope in the wake of the unrests. The vote to dissolve the Kingdom into a Republic was lost, by only a tiny fraction. And true to his words, King Victor Marono I took the throne, in way of his other siblings and started in his words 'fixing Italy'.


Foreign Affairs: Reactive, realistic, isolationist and few times authoritarianism. The policy of Italy since the cease-fire for World War 2, had been mostly been recovering, establishing economic and political relationships with the several non-communist states in Central Europe and the Balkans.


Under his rulership, Italy has tried to re-establish atleast themselves as a regional power - delegating any larger political and continental undertakings to Germany. Italy has mostly been restoring their economic strength, modernizing and industrializing.


They maintain, close-ties with Germany - considering them an ally, an quoted being 'the only force, that stopped them from collapsing faster'. A cordial yet cold relationships have been retained with the rest of the Allies - due to the war. With a agreement of disagreement with the Soviet Bloc.


They are pro-UN supporters, namely to keep the peace and status quo - being the first to thrown-down any attempts of proxy wars or re-starting wars anywhere else. Defending adamantaly their hold on Albania - which has been heavily invested into and modernized, to enable Italy to continue using its natural resources.

Government Type: Consitutional Monarchy (Executive power, held by the King)


Overview of Country: Recovering. Since the end of the war, Italy was devasted - with allied forces almost capturing it. In the wake of that, King Victor Marono I authorized, the rebuilding and industrializing of Italy - using resources imported from Albania and Germanic-countries.


Taking ques and lessons, from other countries - namely the New Deal, Five Year Plan and German Autobahn idea. King Victor, has taken the best from the other nations and used it to implement an economic miracle in Italy. While still a recovering economy - close-ties with Germany, fresh-plans and more resources - have enabled Italy to pass their Mussolini-era standard of living.


Italy' current rise, has been met with both praise and examining - most of King Victor' policies, have been slightly authoritarian, with the parlament dissolved and re-elected many times over, under the King' orders. While his political' handling is usually called into examination - his economic policies have gained him great praise, as managing to reverse the down-ward spiral of Italy' economy after the war.


The Italian Army and Navy, have also been re-established - this time over, with taking actual ideas from the Roman-era. Namely in adapting to situations. While some have feared a resurgent Mussolini-figure - the King has defended several times in the UN, that the Italian Army is only to protect Italy and its regional sphere. Since its conception - the Italian Armed Forces have shrunk in size, to more manageable and trained levels - focusing on damage, adaptability and speed - rather than attritional warfare. Its focus, taking the best of every army' doctrine - and molding it together.

Country: The Republic of Cuba


Leader: Batista


Government Type: Dictatorship


Overview of Country:


Batista adhered to the 1940 constitution's strictures preventing his re-election.[80] Ramon Grau San Martin was the winner of the next election, in 1944.[74] Grau further corroded the base of the already teetering legitimacy of the Cuban political system, in particular by undermining the deeply flawed, though not entirely ineffectual, Congress and Supreme Court.[81] Carlos Prío Socarrás, a protégé of Grau, became president in 1948.[74] The two terms of the Auténtico Party saw an influx of investment which fueled a boom and raised living standards for all segments of society and created a prosperous middle class in most urban areas.[82]





Slum (bohio) dwellings in Havana, Cuba in 1954, just outside Havana baseball stadium. In the background is advertising for a nearby casino.


After running unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1952, Batista staged a coup.[83] He outlawed the Cuban Communist Party in 1952.[84] Cuba had Latin America's highest per capita consumption rates of meat, vegetables, cereals, automobiles, telephones and radios, though about one third of the population was considered poor and enjoyed relatively little of this consumption.[85]


In , Cuba was a relatively well-advanced country by Latin American standards, and in some cases by world standards.[86] On the other hand, Cuba was affected by perhaps the largest labor union privileges in Latin America, including bans on dismissals and mechanization. They were obtained in large measure "at the cost of the unemployed and the peasants", leading to disparities.[87]Between 1933, Cuba extended economic regulations enormously, causing economic problems.[75][88] Unemployment became a problem as graduates entering the workforce could not find jobs.[75] The middle class, which was comparable to that of the United States, became increasingly dissatisfied with unemployment and political persecution. The labor unions supported Batista until the very end.[75][76] Batista stayed in power.[83]

The United States of America

Leader: President William Perry

Government Type: Representative Democracy


Political Party: The New American Party


Overview of Country: After the end of the war the United States, viewing Roosevelt's presidency as a failure, moved radically right. Many of Roosevelt's most influential programs were ended such as social security.


Fearing the growing Red Menace and the Still powerful Axis Powers a new red scare engulfed the country leading to the first Anti-Red Laws. These Laws first outlawed belonging to a Communist or Socialist Party in or outside the United States then it made espousing Pro Communist Propaganda illegal. Those found guilty of the charge were viewed as enemies of the State and often times just disappeared.


In 1949 Communist and Socialist Supporters took to the streets in protest of the Anti-Red Laws. Violence erupted after Police attempted to force the crowd of the streets with hoses. Riots spread throughout the country damaging property and costing dozens of lives it was not until the US army was deployed in the States and marshal law was instated that order was restored.

To this day Marshal law is still in effect as Communist forces attempt to destabilize our Nation. Every citizen is expected to be vigilant for possible "Commies" or foreign spies. The Drug laws of 1950 outlawed all narcotics ((I know only some are Narcotics I'm going for propaganda)) including Marijuana, Cocaine, heroin, and other recreational drugs. Many call these new laws Draconian but the truth is they keep this great nation safe.

THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA

​

• LEADER & HIS LEGACY
• GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE
• OVERVIEW

• 
  
  
  "We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them the people have a further right to alter it or abolish it. The British government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or complete independence." - Jawaharlal Nehru
  
  
  
  
  
  As India's first Prime minister and external affairs minister, Jawaharlal Nehru played a major role in shaping modern India's government and political culture along with sound foreign policy. He is praised for creating a system providing universal primary education, reaching children in the farthest corners of rural India. Nehru's education policy is also credited for the development of world-class educational institutions such as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences,Indian Institutes of Technology, and the Indian Institutes of Management.
  
  
  "Nehru was a great man... Nehru gave to Indians an image of themselves that I don't think others might have succeeded in doing." – Sir Isaiah Berlin
  
  
  In addition, Nehru's stance as an unfailing nationalist led him to also implement policies which stressed commonality among Indians while still appreciating regional diversities. This proved particularly important as post-Independence differences surfaced since British withdrawal from the subcontinent prompted regional leaders to no longer relate to one another as allies against a common adversary. While differences of culture and, especially, language threatened the unity of the new nation, Nehru established programs such as the National Book Trust and the National Literary Academy which promoted the translation of regional literature between languages and also organised the transfer of materials between regions. In pursuit of a single, unified India, Nehru warned, "Integrate or perish."
  
  
  "[had] Nehru retired in 1958 he would be remembered as not just India's best prime minister, but as one of the great statesmen of the modern world.". - Historian Ramachandra Guha

  India is a Democracy that follows a parliamentary form of government - in which the party (or a coalition of parties) with the greatest representation in the parliament(legislature) forms the government, its leader becoming prime minister.
  
  
  Currently the Indian National Congress holds an overwhelming majority in parliament , becoming the most dominant party in India at the National as well as at the State level .

  August 15 , 1947 : Two sovereign nations are born , it is a time of jubilee and a time of tension and violence as a 5000 year old civilization is torn apart on the basis of religion ... those who were once neighbors became enemies as the largest mass migration in human history is put into full swing , violence erupts across the newly created "borders" , trains filled with corpses are now common occurrences in Punjab and Bengal . On this day when India finally gains its independence old , frail man weak after long nights of fasting sits on top his veranda with this sinking felling of being irrelevant ....
  
  
  1948 , 30th January :
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  "Friends and comrades, the light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere. I do not know what to tell you and how to say it. Our beloved leader, Bapu as we called him, the father of the nation, is no more. Perhaps I am wrong to say that. Nevertheless, we will not see him again as we have seen him for these many years. We will not run to him for advise and seek solace from him , and that is a terrible blow, not to me only, but to millions and millions in this country, and it is a little difficult to soften the blow by any other advise that I or anyone else can give you.
  
  
  The light has gone out, I said, and yet I was wrong. For the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light. The light that has illumined this country for these many years will illumine this country for many more years, and a thousand years later that light will still be seen in this country, and the world will see it and it will give solace to innumerable hearts. For that light represented the living truth ... the eternal truths, reminding us of the right path, drawing us from error, taking this ancient country to freedom.
  
  
  All this has happened when there was so much more for him to do. We could never think that he was unnecessary or that he had done his task. But now, particularly, when we are faced with so many difficulties, his not being with us is a blow most terrible to bear.
  
  
  A madman has put an end to his life, for I can only call him mad who did it, and yet there has been enough of poison spread in this country during the past years and months, and this poison has effect on people's minds. We must face this poison, we must root out this poison, and we must face all the perils that encompass and face them not madly or badly but rather in the way that our beloved teacher taught us to face them.. The first thing to remember no wish that no one of us dare misbehave because we're angry. We have to behave like strong and determined people, determined to face all the perils that surround us, determined to carry out the mandate that our great teacher and our great leader had given us, remembering always that if, as I believe, his spirit looks upon us and sees u, nothing would displease his soul so much as to see that we have indulged in any small behavior or any violence.
  
  
  So we must not do that. But that does not mean that we should be weak, but rather that we should in strength and in unity face all the troubles and difficulties and conflicts must be ended in the face of this great disaster. A great disaster is a symbol to us to remember all the big things of life and forget the small things, of which we have thought too much."
  
  
  - Speech by Jawaharlal Nehru on All India Radio announcing the news of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination .
  
  
  
  
  
  Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948 / First Kashmir War :
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Fought between India and Pakistan over the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu from 1947 to 1948. It was the first of four Indo-Pakistan Wars fought between the two newly independent nations. Pakistan precipitated the war a few weeks after independence by launching tribal lashkar (militia) from Waziristan, in an effort to secure Kashmir, the future of which hung in the balance. The inconclusive result of the war still affects the geopolitics of both countries.
  
  
  The Maharaja faced an uprising by his Muslim subjects in Poonch, fueled by the massacres of Muslims in Jammu, and the Maharajah lost control of the western districts of his kingdom. On 22 October 1947, Muslim tribal militias crossed the border of the state , claiming that they were needed to suppress a rebellion in the southeast of the kingdom.These local tribal militias and irregular Pakistani forces moved to take Srinagar, but on reaching Uri they encountered resistance. Hari Singhmade a plea to India for assistance, and help was offered, but it was subject to his signing an Instrument of Accession to India. British officers in the sub-continent also took part in stopping the Pakistani Army from advancing.
  
  
  The war was initially fought by the J&K State Forces led by Major-General Scott and by tribal militias from the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. Facing the assault and a Muslim revolution in the western borders of the state, the ruler of the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu, who was a Hindu, signed an Instrument of Accession to the Union of India. The Indian and Pakistani armies entered the war after this. The fronts solidified gradually along what came to be known as the Line of Control. A formal cease-fire was declared at 23:59 on the night of 1 January 1949. The result of the war was inconclusive, however, most neutral assessments, agree that India was the victor of the war as it was able to conquer about two-third of the Kashmir including Kashmir valley, Jammu and Ladakh.
  
  
  Indian Economic Policy :
  
  
  Indian economic policy after independence was influenced by the colonial experience, which was seen by Indian leaders as exploitative, and by those leaders' exposure to British social democracy as well as the planned economy of the Soviet Union.Domestic policy tended towards protectionism, with a strong emphasis on import substitution industrialization , economic interventionism, a large government-run public sector, business regulation, and central planning, while trade and foreign investment policies were relatively liberal.Five-Year Plans of India resembled central planning in the Soviet Union. Steel, mining, machine tools, telecommunications, insurance, and power plants, among other industries, were effectively nationalized in the mid-1950s.

Leader: Josip Broz Tito


Government Type: Titoist Socialist Federal Republic


Overview of Country:


Yugoslavia has grown to be self sufficient and a rising power due to the initial financial assistance from the west and the east after WWII ended, the people of Yugoslavia after the Chetnik leadership and members whom did not surrender were executed. The United Slavic peoples in Yugoslavia united under Tito strived to become a force for unity, as a result a lot of people put their differences aside to work together to rebuild and create a newer, stronger Yugoslavia something that Tito has continued to nurture, and promote which has helped its economy boost itself up. and a new fiercely independent Yugoslavia especially with the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 which brought the Warsaw Pact and Yugoslavia close to war. Productivity and Industry has been on the rise due to plans to assist the creation of new factories, while also assisting farms that need it most. Social programs based off of those FDR instated have been popular and have increased the state of living in the nation. Tito has also been able to expertly stay neutral in world affairs, while playing the two sides effectively to get what he wants, for example he has used the threat of allowing other nations from the opposition to build military bases in Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia is very active in trade with nations of any side, which also has helped it financially. Soviet Yugoslav relations are calming down and thawing from the earlier schism, Secretly Yugoslavia is in communication with Bulgaria again about a Grand Balkan Federation to include Bulgaria which Bulgaria is beginning to look favorably upon. The military has had a modernization and buildup recently over concerns of Warsaw Pact invasion with most of the troops on more not so friendly Warsaw Pact nations which Tito has honestly assured the world. Inclusiveness as well culturally and religiously is at an all time high as the Slavs have come together to truly stick by the motto "Brotherhood and Unity"

Country: USSR (Russia)
Leader:Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev who was a politician who led the Soviet Union during part of the Cold War.


Government Type: Communist


Current State of Country: After WWII ending and no true threat, (sort of other than America) on the rise, the life for the soviets in a place of peace. The Soviet Union has also taken over and expanded over the past 10 years. This can be thought as a threat to the United States. With this being alternate history, the Berlin wall was never put up as well.


With a fear of the Nazis rising again, the Soviet Union has put more into its military force and has done a lot to help it.

THE VATICAN CITY

Form of Government: Elective Theocracy, Elective Monarchy


The Vatican is the world's geographically smallest nation, encompassing the 812 acre walled complex that is the inner sanctum of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican State was established in 1922 by the Lateran Treaty as an independent entity governed by the Holy See. Despite their lack of a military, the Vatican Bank controls immense wealth and they are highly influential in foreign events with Catholics being prevalent in every Western nation.


Current Leader: Pope Pius XII

Taking office in 1939, Pope Pius XII's reign was characterized largely by maintaining the safety of Catholics from Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party and the condemnation of racial violence instigated by the Nazis. After the war, Pius XII's efforts have since been focused on combating the spread communism and the revival of Nazism.

Country: The Empire of Japan


Leader: Emperor Hirohito, Prime Ministed Tojeki Honda


Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy


Overview of Country: Japan is a nation strong once more. Tojo lost the first postwar election due to his aggressive policies, losing to Tojeki Honda, a pro-reconstruction politician. Honda is cooperating with Emperor Hirohito to lead Japan to new prosperity. In the process of paying off war debts, in part with American debts, Japan has begun programs to reconstruct a modern navy. In 1950, the Japanese nuclear program came to fruition, making Japan a nuclear capable nation. The Type 5 rifle has been standardized, giving Japan a good semi automatic rifle. Japan has made two modern aircraft carriers, with three more in construction, as well as a fleet of escort and support ships and even a few battleships. (Exact number estimate will be included in Turn 1, feel free to contradict it if I put it too high or too low.

Country: The Fourth Republic of France


Leader: Prime Minister Charles De Gaulle


Government Type: Republic


Overview of Country:


"War, war never changes", this is how the French government of the Thord Republic thought before 1914, yet they had seen how the Prussians attacked swiftly in 1870. So in the summer of the year 1940, they went on the defense as they did in 1914, and waited, waited to long and ended up crushed in only a month. The government split and either surrendered or fled, while the people themselves, resisted. They fought on, however possible, when peace came and France was freed, the choice of government came into question, the ones who ran wanted a dictatorship, while the Nazi sympathizers wanted a monarchy, yet they had done nothing compared to the people, who demanded the 4th republic, and so it was. Now 10 years later, France has reclaimed 2 modern battleships from the allies, built during the war as a matter of national pride, Paris Pile-1 has finished only in 1954 as France's first nuclear reactor and Orleans Pile-2 is currently waiting to begin construction. And now France sets off into the world stage once again, ready to reclaim its place in the sun once more, and hold it this time as well
