Japan must contest those elections as well! Italy looks at its neighbors Germany-France and sees the ridiculously cheap gasoline provided by the Japanese.

Hrrm... You cannot beat the price I can offer, I have control of the worlds possibly largest oil field, as well as a huge pile of moss that can be converted to oil thanks to you, however I can make sure you get San Marino if I win.

In further news, as everyone has decided to just pile Europe

 

Russia retries all the European countries bordering it, they offer cheap oil as we have so much of it, cheap cars, and a place in the TFTA

What's San Marino? Also, turns out it was algae, not moss. My mistake.

 

Anyways, Japan requests the Italy go into FETA if you get elected.

What countries border Russia?

Latvia Lithuania Poland, Belarus Georgia

 

I removed the Asian and ones already taken from that list

Thanks! :)

 

Good luck making a new Soviet Union! :thumbsup:

Icu Poland doesnt border with russia to the best of my knowledge you have to go through certain baltic states to get there.

Next spy plan wont be told outloud, cause of Germany >.>

But that gives a major oppurtunity for screwing people over, since you can just say you had spies there when you actually didn't.

See what I mean it wasn't meant for this sort of thing?

Fine I'll announce em, but they'll be codeanmmed

 

You wont know if they're spy plans, research plans, building plans...

Well you'll have to announce them with me, but I'll try my best to try to make it so that the spies have a chance of success.

What's San Marino? Also, turns out it was algae, not moss. My mistake.

 

Anyways, Japan requests the Italy go into FETA if you get elected.

What countries border Russia?

Sna Marino's a small country in the middle of Italy.

Moss should work too, at least I should be able to make bio-diesel from it.

FETA, that's your's right?

 

I border Russia with two of my countries, Norway and Finland.

FETA is the one with Germany and France in it.

 

Japan asks the UN if it can intervene in Yemen, whose oil reserves have run out. Japan promises to use its expertise in algae-oil production to make Yemen economically sound. Yemen currently has an umemployment rate of 40%.

 

So what does the UN say Sere?

The UN will allow this intervention.

 

In 6 hours and 15 minutes, it will be 2013.

Project 2 is over

 

Project 3 is a go

Well that should help better our relations...

 

If/when the Scandinavian candidate wins the Italian election they will ask for to join FETA... cheese... (Sorry, I just had to.)

I wonder what happens to the Italian elective... Doesn't (s)he have a chance?

Icu Poland doesnt border with russia to the best of my knowledge you have to go through certain baltic states to get there.

Kaliningrad, I think.

Because of the immense amounts of sunlight that Equatorial Guinea gets, we're working on making solar power our main source of energy. Talks with Gabon are going well, and we're also approaching the Democratic Republic of the Congo about a possible military alliance against the Republic of the Congo. (I'm sure there's some sort of conflict between those two countries...)

Also trying to annex Benin because we can.

I wonder what happens to the Italian elective... Doesn't (s)he have a chance?

Not againsy someone who can guarantee lowered prices on imported resources.

Well maybe they don't want to give away their independence ?

 

Project 3 is done

 

Project 4 is on

FETA is the one with Germany and France in it.

And the SSR and China as well.

There are a lot more FETA countries in Europe already, and the FETA market is more competitive. Cheap oil is kinda pointless as everyone is phasing out oil cars for more fuel-efficient ones.

SSR News:

Project UV has been scrapped. The research and alpha builds for Uranium-Powered Vehicles has been sent to the University of Bucharest for students to work on if they please. This will mean that if it ever does get completed, it would take 10-20x as long as a government research program, however the tech will be shared world-wide as it comes from an academic establishment.

 

Project Framework chugging along. The coal the SSR has traded with China for is being used heavily to build factories, new housing, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure improvements. Dams are still being built to divert water to areas that could be suitable for farming if they had easier access to water. When these are done it should boost the SSR's agricultural output by around 10-15%.

 

The nuclear reactors are still being built, despite the country having an over-abundance of energy from the compensation paid by the Swiss.

 

The SSR Navy has begun cracking down on smuggling rings in the Black Sea. Co-operation with Russian Naval vessels has been instrumental in the operation's growing success, and those captured are being held for trial in SSR courts.

 

Talks with Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Slovenia still continue. If we're going by the influence scale they probably have like..120% favourable view of the SSR.

 

The Great Library of Buharest is in its early stages of construction, and marble, granite, and other expensive flashy building materials are being shipped in on a daily basis.

 

Construction begins on the World Histroy Museum in Kiev. Around $2b NOK has been set aside for the project. The building won't be as flashy as the Great Library, but it will house significant pieces of world history within.

 

The SSR has sent Equitorial Guinea $700m in US dollars to help jump-start the country's economy. It can be paid back over the next 50 years, with no interest.

 

The SSR asks any nation if it would like to take part in a joint venture to explore the depths of the ocean. Special vessels will need to be researched that can withstand the pressure of the Ocean, but, y'never know what we might find. *hopes it's not Cthulhu*

 

The Democratic Liberal Party has won the elections in the SSR. It was a very tight race and so they only hold a minority government (multi party system).

 

*The SSR is still waiting for a response from Brazil over the proposed trade deal for Iron.

 

The SSR moves 1 slider to Democratic, 1 slider to Left.

The countries bordering Russia should care for the TFTA more, as they aren't that close to many other nations.

Thats an unreal figure AND India already have a population problem

With a 1000% population increase in like 5 years?

@ Dusty, the smuggling ring stopped when Archi's embargos were lifted.

 

 

@ Dusty again, a deep sea research team based in India has volunteered for the expedition and has been issued a large grant from the Indian government in order to accompany you and fund their share of the project.

 

Not talking about the smuggling into Switzerland. I'm talking about smuggling rings and drug shipments that cross the Black Sea.

 

And the SSR welcomes India to the project, and a harbour lab has been set up the work out the research on a vessel that could withstand the enormous pressures deep in the ocean. The team has been granted $150m by the SSR government.

I think Icu was thinking that you'd just added another 90 million people to your population, wheras really you're just moving them around.

Well maybe they don't want to give away their independence ?

They still have their own leader, that leader just has to do what king Håkon tells him to.

 

The ellection is in 1013 (man, that's lucky), then I might get control of Italy...

 

*Finds a presidental candidate that is willing to go through with making Italy part of Scandinavia, seing it's the better for both his economy as well as his country.*

*Sponsors said candidate with both money, resources and signed, vritten promises of continued, free delivery of all resources and technologies Scandinavia has the ability to produce.*

(*Wins the election.*?)
