Earth, 2199

Much has changed in the world within the past two centuries. Nations long united have collapsed into squabbling rival states. Lands long divided by factionalism and regionalism have set aside their differences and united into great coalitions. Strife and turmoil, war and revolution, great migrations and cultural shifts have indisputably changed the geopolitical landscape of Earth, and time has yet to tell if this is ultimately for the better, or for worse.
Some of the nations of these times are much different than the ones of centuries prior. Other nations have remained much the same as they have been. Some nations harken back to ancient predecessors, hoping to recreate their most glorious epochs. Other nations seek to cast away the vestiges of their past, looking instead to what opportunities may await them in this new age.
For now, it seems that the political world has finally stabilized after centuries of chaos and uncertainty. The collective world now seems to face only peace and prosperity in the years to come, though none can be certain for how long this tranquil may last.
One thing is certain, however, and that is that the Earth's resources are limited. Air, water, energy, space, and all the other amenities expected by a global population now nearing eleven billion; all in great demand and dwindling supply in these times. The world leaders and great minds of the new era, concerned for Humanity's ultimate future, have reached a compelling consensus:

It is time to leave Earth.

With the many technological advances of the late twenty-second century, and global prosperity at would would seem to be a historical record high, now is the perfect time to finally settle new worlds, and expand into the Solar System.

You will take the initiative as the executive power of your respective nation, to lead your people into this great new era and into all the possibilities that await on the worlds beyond Earth.

To start, first select the nation you wish to represent from this list: http://pastebin.com/tPK1azX6

Nordic Union

The turn of the twenty-second century saw the peak of unionism and supranationalism, as divided states merged completely into singular, consolidated nations. Among these emergent national unions was the Nordic Union.

The formative years of the Nordic Union were marked by great initial instability, as cultural and socioeconomic differences between the western states: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and the eastern states: Estonia, Finland, and Karelia, made total unification a daunting task for even the most competent leaders.

Despite the initial difficulties, the Nordic Union has emerged into the twenty-third millenium with a renewed sense of solidarity and synergy, each state of the Union using their own unique brand of ingenuity to contribute to a result much greater than the sum of its parts.

The Nordic Union is seen as one of the great cultural and social leaders in the world, and multiple Western nations have begun adopting laws, social structures, and cultural trends similar to those of their Nordic counterpart.

The Nordic Union currently lacks any significant orbital launch capability of its own, and thus has required the use of other nations' launch platforms for spaceflight missions, these nations generally being the recipient of much investment by the Union. The Nordic Union operates a collection of low orbital and high orbital satellites, used for almost exclusively non-military purposes, and some Chairmen of the Union's constituent states have discussed the prospect of constructing an official spaceport with which the Union could conduct launches of its own, and become more self-sufficient in the field of space exploration.

As Head Chairman of the Nordic Union, it is ultimately your decision how you will proceed with the Union's space research efforts going into the 23rd millenium.

Great Korean Republic

The twenty-first century was a time of immense strife in Korea, with the nation split in half along an arbitrary border, dividing the "Westernized" South, by that point little more than a puppet state of the Americans, and the "Easternized" North, who refused to submit to the American cultural imperialism of the time.

With tensions in Korea having risen nearly to a critical breaking point, the financial and infrastructural collapse of the United States of America in the late twenty-first century and the subsequent withdrawal of its military garrisons in Japan and South Korea signified North Korea's greatest opportunity yet. Having collaborated in secret for multiple decades with eastern powers Russia, China, and Iran to reinforce its military power, the North launched an immediate and total invasion of the South, and completed its "liberation" of the region only a few years later.

Going into the twenty-second century, the newly-united Korea saw more than its fair share of difficulties, with regional governments in the North and South refusing to reconcile their differences, and the South continuing to reach out to Western powers for intervention rather than submitting to the government in Pyongyang.

Ultimately, as the fusion of Northern and Southern industries led to a period of unprecedented economic growth for the united Korea, the Southerners gradually abandoned their political dependence on the West, and began to embrace traditional, conservative Korean culture once more.

The Greater Korean Republic is now viewed throughout the world as a proud, united nation, with one of the largest militaries in the world and a sizeable mass-destructive arsenal to defend itself with.

The Greater Korean Republic, being a nuclear power in the world, and no stranger to space travel itself, has more than enough launch capability to send an object into medium Earth orbit, and operates a small assortment of orbital satellites, a significant number of which are used for military logistics purposes.

Recently, some officials of various aeronautics and space research divisions have considered the possibility of launching an extraterrestrial probe, for the purposes of collecting what would be Korea's first samples of physical data from other worlds.

As Supreme Secretary of the Presidium of the Greater Korean Republic, it is up to you to lead Korea into the new century, and choose whether to consolidate your nation's power here on Earth, or to perhaps become a power among the stars.

Great Britain
The twenty-first century bore ill tidings upon the old United Kingdom. The final collapse of the American financial machine sent a devastating economic ripple effect throughout the Anglosphere, and to a lesser extent, the entire Western World. With many of Britain's financial institutions both public and private becoming insolvent by the later part of the century, nationalism and irredentism captivated the aspirations of those living in Britain's overseas possessions and old colonial territories. These possessions, no longer able to trust Britain to protect their interests, began gradually separating from the union, some declaring total independence, and others acceding to the suzerainty of more stable nations.
The following century, however, saw matters begin to improve for the ailing United Kingdom.
Ireland, which at the later end of the twenty-first century was in an even worse economic position than Britain, formally acceded to the United Kingdom, hoping that this would result in some semblance of economic solvency for both states. In addition, successive elections resulting in the appointment of increasingly fiscally-conservative Prime Ministers saw many of Britain's old debts resolved through the elimination of much of the nation's spending in military and space research.
With all of Ireland having been incorporated into the United Kingdom, and the implementation of strict, conservative fiscal policies, Britain's economy began to see significant economic growth for the first time in almost an entire century.
Having spent the twenty-second century mostly in isolation, working to rebuild its economy and perhaps attain the position it once had as a financial leader in the world, the reformed Great Britain has emerged into the twenty-third century a stabilized and now rapidly growing nation.
Great Britain is seen in the world as a promising candidate for growth and leadership in Europe, with many nations having invested into British financial sectors in recent years.
Almost all of Britain's space program was decomissioned during the reforms of the twenty-first and twenty-second centuries, but at its peak, was capable of high orbital launches and potentially even extraterrestrial research missions, with some private groups even experimenting with the possibility of manned spaceflight missions. A particularly intrepid executive power could seek to recomission the space program, and make Great Britain a spacefaring nation, perhaps even an imperial power of the Solar System, as it once was on Earth.
As Prime Minister of Great Britain, it is your prerogative to decide how the nation will enter the twenty-third century, and whether you will risk your nation's stable economic position here on Earth on the possibility of even greater growth on new worlds.

>>505
Great Serbia
The Serbian people were no stranger to the turmoils of the twenty-first century. With the politics of the twentieth century having already torn old South Slavia apart and set once amicable Slavic peoples against one another, the twenty-first saw the artifacts and byproducts of those politics result in redoubled strife between the Slavs of the Balkans.
After a series of long and bloody wars throughout the twenty-first century, a clear victor was finally becoming apparent by the beginning of the twenty-second: Serbia.
Having annihilated the irredentists and factionalists and extremists that sought to fracture South Slavia even more, Serbia was able to reunite the Balkan Slavs under the glorious Serbian banner.
The twenty-second century saw unparalleled growth and development in the new Serbian Balkans, as Slavs once again used their efforts and resources to cooperate as a unified nation, instead of waging war against their compatriots.
Great Serbia is viewed by the international community as a great industrial power in the world, and a shining example of the merit of determined cooperation.
Though it currently lacks any satellites, probes, shuttles, and even any platforms with which to launch them, the rapidly growing industrial and technological sectors of Great Serbia could easily be put to use in developing a rudimentary national space program within the current decade.
As the Prime Minister of Great Serbia and the South Slavs, you are responsible for ensuring the security of this unified Slavic state as it proceeds into the new era, and it is your decision what is to be done with Great Serbia's industrial and technological might, be that expansion into the cosmos, or perhaps a more earthly venture.

United States of America
The twenty-first century brought about the decisive collapse of the old imperial America, with federal and corporate corruption and insolvency running unchecked and eventually reaching critically unsustainable levels, and an increasingly neo-liberal progressive culture in the northern states resulting in marked estrangement of the southern states, these factors ultimately resulting in a total collapse of the American economy and federal government, and an almost complete dissolution of the union.
Throughout the late twenty-first and early twenty-second centuries, destructive civil wars split old America into dozens of individual warring states, each vying for their own liberty and independence. Over time, most of these states were absorbed into the emerging powers in the new political landscape, with several states ultimately rejoining what was left of the old union in the North.
Through the later part of the twenty-second century, the conflicts of North America slowly subsided, with massive assaults and heavy sieges giving way to small skirmishes and battles of attrition, and this sparse combat eventually fading into uneasy ceasefires and a tentative peace.
Moving into the twenty-third century, the remnants of the old United States have reformed into a nation much different than the union that dissolved almost two centuries before. The new union has embraced a much more conservative worldview, tempered with more traditional forms of liberalism and libertarianism, this reformed nation seeking to retain the ideologies of those founding patriots and inspiring leaders that made the United States into the world power it was all those hundreds of years ago.
Today, the world views the United States with a certain air of skepticism, still seeing the union as the "sick man of the West", in light of its former corruption, hypocrisy, and imperialist ways.
Nonetheless, the new United States has seen much growth and stability in recent years, and has become a noticeable political power in the Western Hemisphere, and could eventually regain a position as a power in the world stage.
The United States of America was once the premier space power in the world, having been the only nation to launch a successful manned lunar exploration. However, the dissolution of the union resulted in the loss of much of the nation's spaceflight infrastructure. Nonetheless, there still remains enough components in current U.S. territory to continue a rudimentary space program of sorts; enough at least to send unmanned craft into high orbit, and probes onto other worlds. With sufficient investment and reclamation, the new United States may be able to once again launch manned spaceflights, and perhaps even another manned exploration of new worlds.
As President of the United States of America, it is your responsibility to lead the union into the new century, preserve the integrity of the nation, secure liberty and prosperity for the American people, and ensure that this surviving nation may yet live up to its name and all the prestige it once carried.

Polish Commonwealth
The twenty-first century invoked major changes in the greater geopolitcal scene of Eastern Europe, though those changes did not come easy. Much of the century in this region was defined by war, with Poland and Russia fighting over control of Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, with several other European powers intervening to preserve the sovereignty of the nations therein. Poland, a growing and modernizing nation, eventually became a formidable opponent against the stagnating, inefficient Russian Federation, and was able to counter Russian advances into the Baltics, and unite the Balto-Slavs under Polish leadership by the turn of the twenty-second century.
This unification was slow to yield benefits, as the Baltic republics consistently refused to cooperate with Polish imperative. However, the intial lack of progress was offset by the eventual accession of the Slovak Republic into the Polish Commonwealth, and the resulting economic growth that followed.
Gradually, the Baltic constituents became more and more accepting of Polish administration through the later twenty-second century, having witnessed the industrial, technological, and commercial growth experienced by the Polish-administrated Slovak Republic, and that of Poland itself.
The Polish Commonwealth is now seen as one of the most technologically advanced Western nations, especially in regards to its military and manufacturing capabilities.
Though the Polish Commonwealth, despite its large technological sector, does not operate a formal space program, it does maintain a large arsenal of conventional ballistic missiles of various sizes and strengths, and some of those ballistic missiles could certainly be repurposed into spaceflight-capable vessels, with enough investment.
As the Chief Minister of the Polish Commonwealth, you are charged with preserving the Commonwealth and the unity of West and Baltic Slavs, and with determining how the Commonwealth shall use its technological capacity as it proceeds into the twenty-third century.

>>508
Republic of Texas
Born out of the aftermath of the dissolution of the old United States of America, the Republic of Texas soon became a completely self-sufficient industrial power in the new North American geopolitical stage, with a formidable conventional military to defend its sovereignty.
Through the turn of the twenty-second century and well into the first half of the century, the Republic of Texas successively incorporated several of the Southwestern states that had seceded from the old union, and was able to utilize the natural resources of these states to further advance the economic and industrial growth of the new Republic.
As it moves now into the twenty-third centry, the Republic of Texas remains strong, stable, and confident; a beacon of hope and a sign of good things yet to come in a land that not long ago was embroiled in war and chaos.
In the international worldview, the Republic's stability, growth, and high industry have resulted in several nations viewing it as a more appropriate successor to the old United States than the current union in the North.
Through its acquisition of the Southwestern states, the Republic of Texas has reclaimed a significant portion of the spaceflight infrastructure once used by the old union; enough at the very least to send small satellites into medium orbit with relative confidence. With enough financing and technology invested in aeronautics manufacturing, more advanced launch platforms and launch craft could be constructed for the Republic, potentially yielding the capability to independently launch unmanned probes to other planets.
As the President of the Republic of Texas, you are entrusted with defending the sovereignty of the Republic and its people, utilizing the Republic's natural wealth and the work of its citizens for the good of the Texan people, and leading the Republic to power and prosperity in the new century.

Russian Federation
Even great Russia, in all of its power, did not escape the turmoil of the twenty-first and twenty-second centuries unscathed. With a new wave of nationalism sweeping the world, subsequent rebellions and wars forced several changes in the Russian political foreground. The various republics of the North Caucasus consistently rebelled against Federation authority, and those republics ultimately remained in the Federation only after a series of treaties that granted nearly complete autonomy to the Caucasian republics.
The turn of the twenty-second century also saw the eventual loss of Karelia and Murmansk, as the local governments grew increasingly closer to the perfidious political machine of the newly-formed Nordic Union. Soon enough, cultural tensions between the Russian federal authority and the Karelian and Sami residents of those regions boiled over into an official declaration of secession by Karelia and Murmansk. With much of the Russian armed forces already preoccupied with fighting the formidable Polish army in the Baltics and the NATO-backed Ukrainians along the Dnieper, Russia was unable to devote enough military strength to prevent Karelia and Murmansk from being consolidated into the Nordic Union.
Despite the loss of Karelia and Murmansk, and almost all authority over the Caucasian republics, Russia was able to make great gains elsewhere. The Russian military was successful in liberating the ethnic Russian population of eastern Ukraine, almost completely annihilating the Ukrainian military in the process. The turn of the twenty-second century also saw the accession of the Belarusian state into the Federation, which brought about a period of substantial economic growth for both states.
Entering into the twenty-third century, Russia appears to have not only recovered from the late twentieth century collapse of the Soviet Union and the tumultuousness that followed in the twenty-first century, but become even more powerful and prestigious than its Soviet predecessor at its peak in the mid-twentieth century.
The world of the twenty-third century is well aware that much of Russia's power lies in its vast wealth of natural resources across its enormous territory, the great industrial machine fueled by those resources, and the formidable Russian military and mass-destructive arsenal defending those resources and holding the Federation intact.
Having played "second fiddle" to the Americans for far too long, Russia has finally emerged into the new era as the undisputed premier space power in the world. It operates more high-orbital satellites than any other nation, and is able to send surveillance probes to other worlds with moderate ease. Having already sent countless manned flights into high orbit, some officials are suggesting that Russia may soon be ready to launch manned exploration missions of other worlds.
As President of the Russian Federation, your imperative is to ensure that Russia retains its prestigious position as the economic, industrial, political, military, and scientific superpower it is today, and to lead the Federation to even greater glory both here on Earth and all the new worlds that await.

Republic of Portugal
Portugal and its people spent much of the early twenty-first century suffering through great economic hardship, as local Iberian markets declined, European economic unions gradually withdrew their previous investments in the Portuguese economy, and international trade and financial confidence worsened substantially.
However, the later part of the century saw fortunes change for the Portuguese Republic, as Galicia, Olivenza, and the Eonavian and Fala regions of Spain, incentivized by renewed nationalistic fervor, declared independence and rebelled against the ailing Spanish state, these regions ultimately acceding to Portugal during the early twenty-second century in a movement of Lusophone solidarity.
The remainder of the twenty-second century saw an economic revitalization of Portugal, with the Portuguese Republic emerging into the twenty-third century as a completely self-sufficient and rapidly-growing nation.
Many nations in the international community view the Republic of Portugal as an emergent leader in economic and industrial growth, with several nations having begun investing in Portugal's primary industries, and several more nations negotiating with the Portuguese Republic for increased trade relations.
The Republic of Portugal enters the new century with practically no space agency to speak of, having originally relied on the old European Space Agency for representation. Despite this, with Portugal's newfound industrial growth, and the persistent solidarity of its people, the growing republic could begin to dedicate its efforts toward space exploration, perhaps one day being as prolific amongst the new worlds as the old Portuguese Empire was on Earth.
As President of the Republic of Portugal, you are responsible for preserving the unity and general wealth of the Portuguese nationstate and its people, and for leading the republic to whatever lucrative opportunities may await it, be those opportunities on Earth, or on the many worlds beyond.

People's Republic of China

The Chinese nation saw immense economic growth through the earlier part of the twenty-first century, but as factionalism, regionalism, and cultural strife took hold of the various peoples of China, now bolstered by their own share of China's growth, it was becoming clear that the great People's Republic would not remain united for much longer.

By the late twenty-first century, the People's Republic had fractured into a collection of warring nations, some declaring independence from Chinese rule, many claiming themselves to be the only true successor to the Chinese nationstate. After decades of repeated conflicts between the various nations in China lasting well into the early twenty-second century, none of the warring factions had made any decisive strategic gains against the others, and ultimately a state of status quo ante bellum was reached, with each faction retaining the territory they started with.

After these pyrrhic secessionist wars, the new People's Republic of China was left primarily with what were once the northern and central core territories of the old People's Republic, and thus began to be referred to simply as "North China" by the Western nations.

Despite its immense territorial losses in the late twenty-first and early twenty-second centuries to the secessionist factions, the new People's Republic maintained a rather substantial portion of its old industrial, economic, and military power, as much of old China's infrastructure was centered in the north-central and coastal areas of the country.

The current People's Republic of China is viewed somewhat suspiciously by other members of the international community, as some nations question the northern government's ability to ensure stability, security, and peace in the greater region, and are especially concerned with the People's Republic's inability to account for the loss of a small portion of its mass-destructive arsenal during the civil wars. Regardless of these concerns, few nations can truly doubt the industrial and military might of the new People's Republic as it enters the new century, and several nations still rely on trade with the People's Republic due to its abundance of otherwise rare natural resources.

At its peak in the early twenty-first century, the old People's Republic was one of the leading space powers in the world, generally considered outmatched only by Russia and the United States of America. Though the civil wars of the late twenty-first century resulted in the loss of some of People's Republic's spaceflight capability, the surviving government in the north was able to defend most of the necessary critical components.

Still to this day, the People's Republic has retained the capacity to send unmanned craft well into high Earth orbit, manned craft into the upper extents of medium orbit, and the potential to place various unmanned research probes onto other worlds via transfer orbits. The old People's Republic had plans to launch manned exploration missions of Luna and Mars in the early twenty-first century, but was unable to accomplish these goals due to the civil strife, political power struggles, and eventual war that beset the nation. However, entering into the twenty-third century with newfound stability and industrial growth, the People's Republic may yet have the opportunity to follow through with its old plans.

As President of the People's Republic of China, your responsibility is to ensure that this People's Republic remains the true and rightful representative state of the Chinese people, and to guide this People's Republic into great power, prosperity, and thriving industry both here on Earth and all the other worlds ahead.

African Republic of Egypt
For much of the twenty-first century, the old Arab Republic of Egypt was immersed in various civil wars, political revolutions, and regional disputes. The first prototypical signs of what was to become the new African Republic of Egypt did not arise until the turn of the twenty-second century, when a unified faction of Egypt's Coptic, Nubian, Berber, Beja, and Doma nationalists, with assistance from other African political and paramilitary groups, was able to decisively overthrow the Arab Muslim government in Cairo.
The newly-formed African Republic spent much of the first half of the century defending itself against various Arab states that had sought to return Islamic law to Egypt. With assistance from assorted East African governments and the rapidly Africanizing Maghreb states, the new African Republic was able to make significant gains against their primary enemy, the Arab Muslim government in North Sudan. By the mid-twenty-second century, the African Republic had managed to capture almost all of North Sudan, including their capital at Khartoum on the confluence of the White and Blue Nile rivers.
As it heads now into the twenty-third century, the new African Republic of Egypt appears to have finally attained peace in its time, though political tensions remain dangerously high between the African Republic and the new Arabian Union. There also remains great concerns regarding the presence of Islamic militant groups based in Assyria, Jordan, and Baluchistan which may have plans to launch attacks against the African Republic.
The African Republic of Egypt is a young, and only recently stabilized country, and as such, many members of the international community are hesitant to invest in the nation, or open up any form of long-term diplomatic relations. However, as one of the largest petroleum-producing countries, many of the less-modernized nations are ultimately reliant on trade with the African Republic for fuel.
The old Arab Republic of Egypt did not have any sort of space program, and it would seem that the new African Republic remains much the same in that regard. Regardless of this, the African Republic did retain much of the old Arab Republic's supply of conventional ballistic missiles, and those missiles could be repurposed into launch craft, perhaps even ones viable enough to send an object into a stable low Earth orbit.
As President of the African Republic of Egypt, you are entrusted with protecting the integrity of this new republic, ensuring the security of the Egyptian people, and leading the republic and its people to wealth and a good life.

1. Gentlemen.

The old age is dying, along with those who still cling to it. Soon, it shall be buried in the very planet itself.

As of today, the Space Program is our top priority. It is our only true priority, and one which above all things must be completed.

Starting today, I want our research and development operations to go toward the eventual completion of the project of interstellar colonization and corporation.

We have a long road to trek ahead of us gentlemen, and none of us in this room are likely to see the end of it. But if our childrens children are to reap the rewards of life on another planet, we must break our backs paving the first stones for their foundation.

>Begin the space colonization program
>Start with the basic needs and necessities, outlying future requirements and the likes, which will culminate in the first colony

2. In light of the recent period of peace, we must restructure our industrial capability and nation to support the space program, which will require vast amounts of resources, manpower, and skilled labor.

To that end, we must have major infrastructural and economic restructuring and development post haste. Powerplants to run the nation, mines and wells to fuel it.

3. We shall also need schools and education centers specificially designed to select and train those needed technicians and engineers who will be the nerve cluster of the operation. We need astronauts and rocket scientists, civil engineers and logisticians, and much more.

1/2. My fellow Americans: these last two centuries have been hard on us. We've been pushed to the brink of destruction and clawed our way back, a nation on the make. We were the undisputed masters of space travel once, and we can be again. That is why I would like to formally announce the reinstatement of NASA. Using the brightest minds in the fields of physics and aeronautics, America will once again blaze man's trail among the stars.

3. While we keep our hearts set on the stars, we must also keep our eyes open on Earth. While we are at peace with the former states, it is imperative that we secure ourselves against any future attack, which is why a strong national defense focus is vital, and will continue to be going forward.

I ask of you nothing more than I have asked since I swore into office, simply do your duty as Polish Citizens and Feel pride in the work that you do and what your country does for you. Though we may have started late in the race to space, it is my fervent belief that we shall be the first to truly reach for the stars and hold it in our grasp. But beware, though our war with Russia is over I do not believe that they shall simply rest, every citizen must keep watch out for anyone suspicious as we move into the future for any that would attempt to destabilize our way of life. For Honor and Fatherland, thank you.

1. The Scientists and engineers shall work on re-purposing some of our missiles for propulsion and travel to the stars.

2. also have them work on actually surviving in space for long periods of time.

3. Use our technology and build covert operations start out with anti-spy operations but we will move into spying on other countries soon

Aegean Sea

A Serbian naval squadron was intercepted near the Bosporus as it attempted to pass into the Black Sea. The squadron consisted primarily of amphibious assault ships, each carrying Serbian infantry or armour battalions.

The squadron was stopped by a naval blockade placed along the straight by the Anatolian Republic. Anatolian foreign policy minister Etaqama Targašnali was reported as saying "After sighting the Serbian warships passing around [Crete], we sent a missive to Serbia asking them where they were going with their great army, and they were unresponsive. As the ships passed [Athens], we became increasingly concerned. We could not trust their motives, and we ordered them to turn back at once. They did not respond, and did not comply with our demands. They left us no choice but to ally ourselves with the [Russians], and conspire to keep them out of [Crimea]."

With advanced warning from Italy and the Anatolian Republic, the Russian Federation was able to assemble the naval task group stationed in the Black Sea, and surround the eastern end of the Bosporus.

Geopolitical experts remain unsure why Serbia would so unpredictably attempt an incursion on Russian territory, though foreign policy minister Ioannis Tsoukalos of the Hellenic Republic, who was previously in negotiations with Anatolian officials to lift the naval blockade, has gone on record as stating "The politics between [Slavs] are very complex, and have many intricacies that we do not claim to understand any better than the [Slavs] themselves. We are sure that Serbia had its own internally justifiable reasons for the military incursion, and we were more willing to let the [Slavic] politics continue as they would have, than to unnecessarily intervene and risk the Serbians directing their ire at us instead."

Some Anatolian media sources report witnessing Serbian frigates firing isolated shots at the Russian battlecruisers at the other end of the Bosporus, though both Hellenic and Russian sources deny such claims.

Through the fourth quarter of 2201, most Hellenic and Anatolian sources reported the Serbian naval squadron leaving the Sea of Marmara through the Dardanelles, presumably to return to Serbian ports for fuel.

Serbian foreign policy ministers declined to comment on the issue.

Oslo, Norway, Nordic Union

The Head Chairman of the Nordic Union recently announced plans to construct the Nordic Union's first spaceport, for exclusive spaceflight launch use by the Nordic Union Space Agency.

Internal reports from the agency suggest that the spaceport project was initially intended to begin construction before 2203. However, new statements from agency officials suggest that this deadline has been moved forward to 2205, citing an internal concern for "additional surveying" to be performed on potential spaceport locations before construction begins.

Tallinn, Estonia, Nordic Union

In other Nordic Union news, Jaan Olesk, Chairman of the International Relations Department of the Nordic Union, has stated that the Nordic Union will begin efforts to improve their diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation.

Olesk was reported as stating that "Relations with the [Russian] Federation are a prospect that we feel would offer much potential growth for both of our states. We are willing to overlook historical grievances between our nations, and even extend such things as a non-aggression pact, with commerce relations as well, and if mutual relations remain amicable after this, perhaps even a military or defensive alliance of some sort. We only hope that the Russians are as willing as we are to look optimistically towards the future, and not dwell on the political enmities of the past."

Contrary to the Nordic Union custom of broadcasting all major announcements at an annual status disclosure in Oslo, Norway, these statements were released in the form of a press conference at Tallinn, in the semi-disputed state of Estonia.

Many political figures in the Polish Commonwealth, which holds a historical claim to Estonia as a result of the Russo-Polish wars in the Baltics during the late twenty-first century, have expressed deep concern regarding the Nordic Union's declared intentions to become diplomatically tied to the Russian Federation, and some have begun speculating around the possible implications of Chairman Olesk's decision to broadcast such statements from Estonia.

Texarkana, Texas-Arkansas-Louisiana Border

The President of the Republic of Texas announced plans to incorporate the independent Republic of Louisiana into the Republic of Texas. This announcement came at a time when Texan and Louisianian officials were already in tense negotiations to loosen the existing trade and immigration restrictions between the two republics.

After the announcement, the Louisianian officials ceased all negotiation with Texan delegates, and ordered Louisianian border enforcement personnel to deny entry to any Texan citizens. Many Louisianians were appalled at the Texan President's bold remarks, with some describing the statement as "insulting" and "a declaration against Louisiana's sovereignty".

Aerial imagery taken only a few weeks after this incident showed a suspiciously large Texan military mobilization near the Texarkana metropolitan area. Louisianian authorities responded to this by imposing a complete embargo upon the Republic of Texas, which included the construction of blockades along the Mississippi and Red Rivers at the border between Louisiana and Arkansas, which has historically been disputed territory between Texan, Louisianian, Confederate, and Union claims to the state.

White Sands, New Mexico, Republic of Texas

In what would appear to be a show of force in response to the recent diplomatic incident with Louisiana, the Republic of Texas launched a long-range ballistic missile from one of the old launch platforms at the previously-decomissioned White Sands Missile Range and Test Facility in the Texan-controlled state of New Mexico. United States satellite analysis of the missile revealed that it did not appear to be carrying any form of weaponized payload. The missile reached a peak altitude of approximately 5000 kilometers before falling back into the atmosphere, disintegrating over the Gulf of Mexico upon atmospheric re-entry.

Texan authorities claim that the missile test was conducted for purposes related to the Texan space program, though Louisianian, Floridian, and Confederate officials remain skeptical about these claims.

The Republic of Texas adds the following to its statblock:

Nenets Okrug, Northern Economic Region, Russian Federation

The Russian Federation has announced the planned construction of new industrial facilities in the Northern Economic Region, including iron mines, refineries, and steelworks, as well as offshore oil rigs in the Pechora and Kara Seas. Though the Russian Ministry of Finance was unable to allocate enough funding in the 2200 and 2201 fiscal years for construction to begin immediately, Russian authorities have stated that the new industrial complex will officially be under construction by early 2203, and is expected to be completed no later than 2212.

The surplus of available jobs that will be created by the construction and eventual operation of the new facilities is also expected to yield a significant improvement to Russia's economic growth, in addition to the growth provided by the increased material output.

Pyongyang, Greater Korean Republic

The Presidium of the Greater Korean Republic has announced a new goal for its aeronautics division: deployment of an unmanned probe on the surface of Mars. The Greater Korean Republic currently only maintains the capacity to send objects into the upper extents of medium Earth orbit, and due to this, there has been some doubt amongst members of the international community as to whether the Koreans are capable of accomplishing their announced goal within a reasonable time period.

Despite the international skepticism, Korean officials have stated that a long-term multiple-stage plan towards eventual Martian surface contact has already been devised, the first stage of this plan being dedicated to the construction of a launch craft capable of placing an object into Lagrangian orbit with the Earth and its moon. Such an orbit would allow an object easy access to both Earth and Lunar orbits with minimal changes in velocity.

The Korean Presidium has also stated that the Korean space research division will begin research into the potential construction of a sustainable Lunar colony. Many members of the international community have criticized this announcement as "overly ambitious" and "farfetched", under the premise that the Greater Korean Republic maintains only very minimal manned spaceflight capability, and has not yet proven any capability of sustaining life for long periods of time in non-terrestrial conditions.

Additionally, in response to the recent crisis involving the attempted Serbian incursion on Russian territorial waters, Korean international relations secretary Kwang Sun-min made an official statement reiterating the Korean Republic's staunch anti-interventionist political view, saying that "Korea shall rise as a cultural, and scientific power. […] Our military should only be used when absolutely necessary". This statement was well-received by the Manchurian Free State, whose policies are similarly anti-interventionist and culturally-focused.

Shortly after Secretary Kwang's statement was broadcast, an internal communication was leaked from within the British Ministry of Defence, wherein British principal defence minister Charles Lancaster was reported to have said that "Just because the Koreans are trying to be 'edgy' by denouncing the use of military force in our time, that does not make them the voice of reason."

The Greater Korean Republic adds the following to its statblock:

>Space Force:

>Space Level: [Unmanned Objects] 8 - Sustained Geosynchronous Orbit (35000 kilometers) || [Manned Objects] 2 - Sustained Low Earth Orbit (150 kilometers)

Beijing, People's Republic of China

The People's Republic of China has announced a major change in its policy priorities. According to official broadcasts, the People's Republic has decided to prioritize space research above all other facets of its administration. Various North Chinese officials have stated a current goal of establishing a sustainable lunar colony.

Internal reports suggest that the North Chinese government has begun a restructuring of the national budget to supply the People's Republic National Space Administration with increased funding, which the space agency has already begun utilizing to finance renewed research efforts into sustainable habitation units, and atmospheric control technology.

In addition to the redirection of national finances, the People's Republic has instated a new set of industrial and economic growth policies. Among these policies are a plan to increase the national employment rate and energy production through the construction and operation of new hydroelectric powerplants, petroleum and natural gas wells, as well as a series of new iron and tungsten mines throughout the country.

With the massive increase in government spending projected for at least the next eight years, the national budget of the People's Republic has been left with little available funding for other parts of the nation's infrastructure. Despite this, much of the remainder of projected annual budgets has been set aside for funding new educational programs, specifically geared towards advanced mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, and high-technology systems.

Some political and economic experts speculate that the sudden and large increase in government spending and internal debt accumulation may result in a severe economic downturn within a few years, though several others suggest that the multitude of new national projects will result in significant long-term growth, so long as the North Chinese administration exercises responsible and sustainable financing practices while managing these projects.

The People's Republic of China adds the following to its statblock:

>Space Force:

>Space Level: [Unmanned Objects] 10 - Sustained Ultra-High Earth Orbit (150000 kilometers) || [Manned Objects] 7 - Global Positioning Satellite Operation Range (20000 kilometers)

Men-nefer, Ta-mehu Region, African Republic of Egypt

The government of the African Republic of Egypt has recently begun investigations into the domestic affairs of the United Assyrian Republic, the Jordanian People's Republic, and the Baluch State. These investigations come as the result of intelligence reports that suggest that there may be several dormant Islamic extremist cells operating within these nations, and that those cells could potentially be preparing for an attack on the African Republic itself.

Egyptian authorities have warned that severe sanctions will be imposed upon those nations if there is any evidence that they are willingly harboring and supporting radical Islamic extremists. Assyrian and Jordanian officials have pledged to support Egyptian efforts in searching for any potential extremist groups, though the Baluch government refused to cooperate directly with Egyptian intelligence services, instead stating that Baluch domestic defense services had already ascertained proof that there have been no Islamic radical groups operating in Baluch territory, and as such, that there was no need for an Egyptian investigation into the matter.

Diuw-wer, Libuwa Region, African Republic of Egypt

The Egyptian government has also stated that it will now be developing an official spaceflight program, repurposing several of Egypt's unused long-range ballistic missiles into potentially viable spaceflight craft. Egyptian officials have stated that at least one such craft is expected to be operational by 2204.

Lisbon, Republic of Portugal

The Republic of Portugal recently attempted to open up a trade agreement and official diplomatic relations with the Free Republic of Merina. Official details of the initial negotiations between the two nations are currently unknown, though it is clear that Merina authorities were extremely dissatisfied by the Portuguese terms, with one Merina ambassador, Rabe Ratsimandrava, likening Portuguese diplomatic tactics to "the old [Portuguese] imperialist ways, that they might seek to use our nation's resources for nothing but their own gain, and provide nothing for us in return". Merina officials currently refuse to continue any further diplomatic discussion with Portuguese representatives for the time being.

After this setback in what Portugese officials assumed would be an opportunity for mutual economic growth for the Free Republic of Merina and the Republic of Portugal, the Portuguese government has redirected its efforts toward a new set of domestic policies aimed at improving the general quality of life for Portuguese citizens. A significant portion of the Portuguese national budget has been set aside for repairs and improvements to Portuguese infrastructure, including roads, bridges, railways, and public transportation. Additional funding has also been allocated for supplying Portuguese schools and universities with additional faculty and resources.

In December of 2202, an anonymous survey was taken of randomly-selected Portuguese citizens, and 44% of the respondents stated that they had noticed a significant improvement in local conditions since 2200.
