The Iron Curtain (Nation RP)

[Chairman Stein]

Just fill out this here and you will be clear to go! I'll be watching carefully so you can expect to see a reply on denial/acceptance pretty quick!


Nation's full name:


Population: (1950 estimation)


Current leader's name: (You may choose another prominent politician in your country for this, even if they never ruled IRL)


Allegiance: (NATO, Warsaw Pact, or neutral)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Nation's full name: People's Republic of China


Population: 544,000,000


Current leader's name: Mao Zedong


Allegiance: Neutral, Leaning Warsaw Pact


Military strength: The PLA has existed since the 1920s and is hardened as a gurellia force from both the Sino-Japanese war and the Chinese Civil War, it was during these extreme times that the true force of China was seen. The norm of the PLA being guerilla warfare, this tactic would be used for a large majority of the military's history. During the early 1950s, the PLA with Soviet support transformed itself from a peasant army into a professional military. Part of this was the creation of the thirteen military regions and the defection of many National Revolutionary Army units and generals. By the time the newly declared PRC demobilized, the strength of the PLA is around 2.5 million.

Nation's full name: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland


Population: 50,127,000


Current leader's name: Sir Winston Churchill (wikipedia article incase you don't know himhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill)


Allegiance: NATO founding member


Military strength: Being involved in many wars (colonial, world, and European conflict) Britain has built up quite a military, being that they have many land forces guarding them and making peacekeeping missions across the globe, having many aircraft and a large naval power. Not only do they have a military themselves, but due to 'mothering' many of the strongest countries that have ever existed Britain has a long list of allies. Britain having fought wars all over the planet to gain and defend territory and is not going to let a larger country that tops them only by size, bully them around.

Nation's full name: Canada


Population: 13,000,000


Current leader's name: Louis St. Laurent (12th Prime Minister of Canada)


Allegiance: NATO founding member


Military strength: Because of the end of World War II, Canada's military size grew exponentially. By 1940, there were 100,000 men serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. By 1950, there were 700,000 servicemen. Along with providing humanitarian efforts for the UN in India/Palestine and Germany, the Canadian Government work closely with NORAD and the US department of defense to maintain peace. Canada even hosted it's own short-range ballistic missiles in case of emergency. Overall, Canada felt that it should act as a peacekeeper, but of course, if someone provokes Canadian armed forces or attacks Canada on their homefront, they are not afraid to escalate their military actions.

Everyone thus far is accepted, seeing as how they are all from the previous thread.

I'm interested. I'll look a bit more into this later today, and maybe type up a sheet.
