Meanwhile Steam is buttfucked so enjoy my edits to the summaries there. Veo gets to do the rest of the Middle East while I took the Caucasus and Mediterranean parts.

Assuming everyone is on top of things, we should be able to make some precipice within the next 24 hours or so.

When will the summaries be posted?

Soon™

(Four to six months.)

We're basically just waiting for a couple of European summaries and most of the middle east. Once those are done we'll have a thread.

I'll come clean:

I'm a piece of shit that fled at the first sight of trouble. So once I realized Germany would be a bitch to summarize, I decided to put it off for a bit and play video games.

And this is why we should re-introduce corporal punishment.

Here's Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Unfortunately Persia, which is arguably the only country where things actually happened, is hiding under the bed, so please wait while I bait her with catfood and Cheetos.

Iraq: The Kingdom of Iraq, ruled by the Hashemites since the Arab rebellion, has served as somewhat of a buffer state between the Ottoman Empire and Persia ever since. A poor and mismanaged country despite its immense oil reserves, it has returned to the forefront since the early 70's with the resurgence of its two major neighbors. The first years of the decade saw the Ottoman Empire attempt to take over the country by encouraging the Kurds to rebel, only to have Persia, itself just recently out of its torpor, act decisively against these goals, guaranteeing the Iraqi state's sovereignty and extending citizenship rights to the Shi'a population. Since these events in 1971, the Ottoman Empire has receded from view, engaged in its own civil war, leaving Persia as the main partner of the country. It is slowly growing closer to its protector, both economically and culturally, gaining a bit from it's meteoric expansion, essentially becoming its client state.

Afghanistan: Afghanistan, ever a complex case, remains what it always has been: a proud collection of fierce peoples. The king retains only as much power as the tribes leave him, keeping thanks to political shrewdness and his neighbor's benevolence the land together. Slowly but surely, modern life is installing itself in the city's biggest cities: Kabul, Kandahar, Herat... Keeping rather apart from the surrounding turbulence, it was however forcefully involved in the diplomatic game in 1976, when the UFI, a communist-backed movement, made great inroads in northern India, threatening to reunite the shattered peninsula under Beijing's terms. Persia, in order to intervene, needed access to Afghanistan's few but nevertheless vital highways, and a foothold in the country, which it gained only in exchange for a sizeable contribution to the state's coffers. Aside from that sudden awakening, Afghanistan lays dormant.

Pakistan: Pakistan, as such,does not exist. Part of India until 1971, it has since the collapse of central authority been divided into petty states by warlords, religious leaders and adventurers. Only in October 1976, following the takeover of Bengal by the UFI, was order imposed once again upon the region by the persian military, who occupied the Indus river valley preventively, as UFI forces were nearing on Ahmedabad, in nearby Gujarat. Since the armistice in late 1977, it has been reintegrated into a federal Indian state, with wide autonomy for its constitutive regions, Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkwa.

So actually Pakistan doesn't exist. Woops. I'll correct that on the maps.

(Okay, okay, Evan, you won.)

Aaron, by the way, where on earth is the PM conversation we had on the Minecraft forum regarding the terms of the armistice? I can't find it!
EDIT: Found it. Nevermind.

Here are the images that Veoline meant to post.

Why has Pakistan been swallowed by India now?

And why is Jordan part of Palestine, when as far as I know Jordan has been independent since the RP began?

Despite the discrepancy in North America I still prefer my own map. This is starting to conflict with things.

I will admit I think Nexerus' map looks really nice. And it looks very easy to edit. So I am rather in favor of it.

It isn't really my map. I took it off of an RP that closed awhile ago, and I believe that the RP I took it from got it off of a computer game. I just changed borders and added new nations where necessary.

I figured it looked either very Victoria 2 or Hearts of Iron*.

*Obligatory link

That video.

But.. I don't see why that's a bad thing. If it's a good map, it's a good map. Looks nice and clean.

I'd use that as my lesson plan if I were a history teacher.

The map is the Victoria 2 map, even though its been like a year since I last played, I still know it is

Huggles needs to get his ass over to fixing Germany.

Hrm..So what little information there is for Australia on the wiki..What of it is going to be redone/declared non canon?
