I said instead of, if they don't accept, I'm cool with it... For now, I only posted I was going to annex them cause literally EVERYONE, except Ross and Archi have tried getting more countries...

 

I also ask the countries bordering Russia to join TFTA instead of annexing them

 

Btw Russia is gigantic.

I think he is just making the distinction from the past practice of 'They join my trade alliance and I now control them' as happened with Japan....

I was already in the TFTA.

 

Australia's military reform is complete, with the army seperated into special groups, and the mandatory military service differentiates depending on the results of a physical and mental exam you take which determines which squad you'll be part of. The only squad revealed at the moment are the dawn guards, who are basically the best of the best, equipped with bionic enhancements and certain other pieces of equipment, they'll generally be used to defend key strategic locations.

 

Australia works on new performance enhancing drugs, and new gene alteration programs. Taking into account all of the projects going on, Australia's budget is pretty stretched, and as such, it will not be able to start any new projects until the previous ones are completed.

 

Edit: Oh hell, thanks Mather, I just remembered about the Arctic land as well.

 

New military training facilities are being set up in the arctic, where soldiers will be trained to endure the cold as well as the heat back home.

 

Mather, I can agree to that.

Ross I am sure the UN will have something to say about Human Genetic Engineering...who knows, they might have to embargo you.

 

Anyway S-Net is split over the rights and wrongs of Genetic Engineering...so more Tee-Shirts are sold!

Scandinavia supports Genetic Engineering (if enough of us do the UN will not have any say on the matter).

S-Net is world opinion(By internet, so it doesn't represent everyone, and is not binding) Japan is often compared to an Imperial Empire, but also as the new Asian power to protect the world from China...And the New Asian power to protect the world from America.

Genetic engineering will be used to cure many genetic disorders as well, and will not only be used to increase efficiency and performance in humans.

Ross, its playing God and dangerous(Counter arguments, not my opinions)

Rocco, thats hardly going to sway public opinion to like genetic engineering.

You would need samples of all "breeds" of humans to do that properly, Ross...

 

Scandinavia sends Australia samples of DNA from several random families, among them the royal family.

Clone the King!

Ross, remember that whole hell with genetics, your going to have to clear that crap up..

 

I also think it would take a while, I didn't read how long you were going to take

Clones don't neccessily look the same

Indeed, but I think that the possibility of eliminating some horrible diseases and making the human race better outweighs the risk that it could go wrong. Australia begins promoting the idea of Genetic Engineering among the public.

 

Mather, the human genome doesn't differ that much between countries, as far as I'm aware.

If the plan can get through, Russia offers a team of scientists and a grant of 100 Million

SR puts a motion into the UN that a peacekeeping mission be undertaken into the Israeli-Palestinian zone in order to stop the "Zionist takeover of Palestine and to stabilize the region by eradicating militants".

 

Other nations are thinking about intervening as well, although the USA and Britain are staying away from the conflict because it doesn't reflect national interests.

A bomb detonated within the London subway system, killing scores of people.

 

The US government successfully stopped a car bomb from being detonated close to the US capitol complex.

 

 

"We must stop the IRA threat," agreed Prime Minister Nick Griffin and President Wright.

 

It is rumored that the USA and UK will declare war on the IRA. A buildup of US-UK forces is underway.

We have abot 99% identical DNA, that's true, but it's the 1% left that is important, when curing a more local desease, would you use DNA from someone living wlsewhere?

True I guess.

Australia begins accepting DNA samples of different people around the world, resorting to shady dealings if none is given freely.

Russia gives some DNA of its people, also, I'll ask again, can we join in on the research if we send in a team of scientists and give a grant of like 100 Million

Yes. Australia appreciates the help.

The Russians send over the Russian scientists, we set up a bank account and I wire them 100 Million

S-Net seems largely against the principle of genetic engineering now, owing to the potential construction of biological weapons and so called 'Swiss Diplomacy'(Sending in a plane with Nerve Gas to destroy all opposition). The general populous don't seem to buy the whole 'Medical Benefits' side of things, largely because they don't understand it.

Switzerland is highly upset by the comments and drives further into isolationism. Numerous American ISPs were hacked in subsequent weeks, leading to a small fall in the value of Gold to $950 per ounce.

The American and British governments are stepping up efforts to improve cybersecurity.

 

Blogs of Chinese human rights activists were hacked by the Chinese government. Several countries have asked the Chinese government to issue a statement regarding the hacking attempts, but the Chinese have been silent on the issue.

 

The Italian populace continues to protest after the Liquor Ban and is regretting voting for their Scandinavian president, which some have accused of voting fraud. There are also some protests within Scandinavia over the liquor issue.

 

Georgia is ever-worried over the imperialism of the new USSR. It is rumored that the Russian government is about to absorb Abkhazia and South Ossetia into the Soviet Union.

 

Other countries are angry with the Japanese for their slightly-veiled imperialism in South Africa.

Australia begins to place leaflets in noticable locations (Airports and such) which contain information regarding Genetic modifications, how it works, and the benefits it has.
