Greek-backed Socialist Coup in Albania as of June 23, 1960



Green: Kingdom of Albanian, under the Zogu Dynasty
Red: Hoxhaist controlled territory
Burgundy: Greek occupied Epirus

Key Players:

Enver Hoxha - Leader of the Albanian Socialist Movement, was purged from the country back in the 40s by King Zog I of Albania, and has spent the last 20 years of his life in a political refugee camp in the outskirts of Athens. He's got a significant following, and the Greeks are looking to back him in order to establish a satellite state in Albania for a buffer with Austria. They don't trust him, but he's better than nothing, at least until a suitable replacement can be found.

King Skander IV of Albania - The mentally retarded child of King Zog, and his only surviving progeny due to mysterious circumstances. Skander is 22 and incapable of even basic functioning and tended to by his advisors, who are corrupt and exploiting him for their own gain.

History:
> The Great War 1914-1921

Hider

When the British started running out of soldiers to throw at the front lines during the war, they began to draft Indians, sometimes forcefully, into their forces. This led to plenty of resentment among Indians, and most who were drafted would end up running away first chance they had, not wanting to go fight a war on another continent for somebody else. Underground groups of anti-British citizens began to pop up all throughout the country, and when the war ended, the people of India saw how weak the British had become, and immediately began to rebel against British rule.

> Indian Independence Revolution

Hider

After the mass casualties of Indians during The Great War, and years of abuse at the hands of the British Raj, the Indian people of Delhi sparked the Indian Independence Revolution in 1922. Women took to the streets angry with the loss of their sons and husbands, rioting the lack of compensation for their dead from the British Government after the war. Riots started against Raj police forces, and quickly escalated to straight up guerrilla warfare. These attacks were lead mostly by those who were forced to served in the war, taking the skills, they were taught by the British military, and using them against their oppressors. As the fighting escalated, a war hero named Davinder Singh Khattris Jandaji became a prominent leader in the resistance, using his skills learned in The Great War to aid his countrymen against the forces of the British Raj, eventually taking over the northern half of India. Soon after, the country was drowning in the blood of weakened British forces, their government buildings burning and ruined. The war ended when Britain relinquishing control of India to Davinder's forces on the eleventh of June 1930 in Delhi at 16:20:00 and abandoning the British Raj all together.

> The Raj is driven out of the mainland 1930-1935

Hider

The remnants of the British Raj still fought back against the newly independent India, despite Britain officially declaring the Raj abandoned. Their forces began to be pushed further South by the united Indian army. Then, in 1935, the strain eventually became too much to handle, and the remnants of the British Raj took what remained of their naval forces, and fled to Sri Lanka, where they would enforce their autonomy with their navy; something the Indians lacked. However, without support from Britain, and limited resources on the island, the "Raj" soon had to resort to piracy, raiding the Indian coast and fishing vessels in order to sustain themselves. Due to these actions, the Raj is classified by India as a terrorist organization, and Indian Forces soon line the South-Eastern coast, watching Sri Lanka for any signs of ship's moving North, so they can respond in time.

> Forceful removal of Brit's from India. 1935-

Hider

With the Raj finally driven from the mainland, India soon began forced deportations of British nationals who no longer were recognized as citizens of India. This led to small communities of British people who felt more Indian than British being formed outside of the major cities, where they tried to live as they had been for years. Davinder's government eventually started a program where Indians could sell out their British neighbors for financial compensation. Of course, there were others who were sympathetic to the remaining British, who would try to hide them from the government. Since then, there has been an ongoing effort to remove illegal British citizens from India. There are, however pockets of the British Raj leftover in the most remote villages of India. In these spots, it is not uncommon to find rogue generals acting as war lords, maintaining their control of these small settlements with a handful of men at their backs. These men are considered a terrorist threat to India and are being forcibly removed, and put to trial. If they are found to have harmed any Indian citizens, they are imprisoned, otherwise, they are deported.

> Recovery period begins. 1935-

Hider

After the Indian Revolution, the country set to work to reverse the harm done over the last century by British colonists and missionaries. The country focused inward, setting up its own currency and market, establishing trade within the country and with neighbors, financing the arts, and improving infrastructure of the country. There is an ongoing effort of the Indian government demanding that Britain return relics and art works in their museums that were plundered from India; an ongoing issue that has not made any progress. There is a focus on improving working conditions for women and making them more equal in the society, much to the more conservative and traditionalist Indians dismay. Religion is being reworked and reclaimed after the Protestant missionaries vilified Indian culture, Hinduism, and Tantric practices. There is much debate present on whether or not Hindu and Tantric practices should be sterilized, in order to be taken seriously by the rest of the world. Often changes are made to the public depiction of the respective religion depending on which groups are in power in the Indian parliament.

> Pakistan and Burma petition independence. India accepts. 1945

Hider

Pakistan and Burma petitioned for independence from India in 1945. India concedes, as the country is still recovering from The Great War and from their war for independence. They also lack a strong currency, and cannot truly support Pakistan and Burma as territories, and so allowed them their independence. Both countries uphold good relations with India, and maintain trade between their nations.

> China invades Tibet. 1950

Hider

In response to China's Western crawl, India offered protection to Nepal and Bhutan, and works to guard the borders nearest to China to prevent India sharing a longer border with China.

> British pirates start resorting to terrorist attacks against India, British warlords in the jungles, enforcing their control of small villages. 1958

Hider

Recently British Raj forces have begun to become more violent, leaving Sri Lanka for mainland India using forged documents and coming through official channels to stage terrorist attacks. The pirate forces from Sri Lanka have also been attempting more attacks on the coast to distract from the conflicts occurring inland. British warlords are still present in remote and rural villages of India, and are becoming more violent. In response, the Indian government has called for military forces to sweep through India to depose them and allow the smaller villages to join the rest of Indian in their freedom from colonial reign.

> January 1960, and onward.

Hider

As the new year dawned, Davinder has finally prepared to step down, preparing for an election in December. The military has begun checking the most remote villages marked on the maps, hoping to find the remaining Warlords. Meanwhile, Indian culture is flourishing, especially with the newly founded Tollywood providing entertainment across the subcontinent.

When Communist China invaded and annexed Tibet, the 13th Dalai Lama attempted to flee the Potala Palace, but is killed in his attempt to escape. Before his death, however, he prophesized that he would be reborn in India, near a river with a view of the Himalaya’s. Six years later the Gelukpa school of the Dalai Lama found their 14th Dalai Lama - a Tibetan boy in Malana, Himachal Pradesh, and have taken him to Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, to be reared as the King of Tibet. In response to China's Western crawl, India offers protection to Nepal and Bhutan, and works to guard the borders nearest to China to prevent them from suffering the same fate as Tibet.

Philippines Nation Update

Philippines Nation Update - Will also be Posted on my CS

Domestic Events

The Philippines has pursued a policy of land reform and agricultural subsidization, as well as the introduction of new 'low-tech' inventions like charcoal briquettes made from the refuse from sugarcane processing. It has also acquired new crops like Teff, and new varieties of Coffee and Sugar in order to boost productivity. New agricultural techniques, including a system of raised platforms and water-filled trenches, have also been researched, and despite weaknesses in other areas, the country is producing a surplus of food and agricultural products.

Infrastructure continues to be modest, but surprisingly good, with the Bangko Sentral/Central Bank funding the construction of new roads and even a renovated railway for the transport of export goods as Priscilline Concilliarism is more lenient to trade and foriegn exchange than Houist Communism. Cottage Industry, primarily dedicated to the production of bootleg Russian guns, is flourishing all across the islands, due to the needs of defense. Civilian shipbuilding is enjoying a minor boom, as armed merchant ships are a requirement for travel from Manila to Kolkata.

Politics continues to be racous but healthily democratic, with mid-term elections being followed by the sudden resignation of the country's 12-year President, Priscilla Aglipay-Rizal. This has led to the next Presidential election being contested by Archibald Santos, agricultural scientist and member of Priscilla's New Philippines Party, and Aurelia Dizon, a rich landowner who was allowed to keep part of her estates in exchange for her allegiance during the Second Philippine Revolution. Aurelia has attained surprising appeal by promising electric lighting to the country...and actually following through on her promise.

Despite this, Archibald maintains an early lead in the polls, and the race is likely to be close.

And finally, one factor remains with corrupt Workers' Co-operatives in Subic Bay, whose policies of exploiting child and immigrant labor have earned them the ire of all sides. These corrupt Co-operatives are searching for Japanese aid in order to betray their own country...

Foriegn Policy

The Philippines' current policy is to put up a wall of allies in Southeast Asia, starting with Vietnam, where the Priscilline Concilliarist Lady Trung has the allegiance of Hanoi and the North, and has advanced to the city of Vinh, her hometown. A treaty has also been signed with the People's Republic of Thailand in order to blockade the reactionary forces (Capitalist Vietnamese and Capitalist French Remnants), thus tightening the noose on the obstacles to a strong and stable Vietnamese ally to the Islands.

To the Philippines' south, in North Borneo, two claimants to the Sultanate of Sulu fight; the first is Al-Hakam Kiram, a Filipino Citizen who is the spiritual head of all Muslims in the Philippines, while the second is Mubarak Kiram, his brother. Mubarak Kiram has taken control of Sabah/North Borneo and installed a reactionary Muslim Fundamentalist regime there, and plans to invade Philippine Sulu in order to restore the old Sultanate. Al-Hakam Kiram, however, has resources of his own, and is waging a war against his brother using pirates and rebels.

Trade-wise, the Philippines has an odd friendship with Rhodesia. Aurelia Dizon, Opposition Leader and candidate for President, has managed to pass a bill forming 'Special Economic Zones' where foriegn businesses, like Rhodesia's Cornell Tobacco Company, would be allowed to do commerce within 'semi-normal' conditions. This treaty was further sweetened by the Cornell Company selling several 'civilian planes' to Aurelia's plantation...many of which Aurelia gave away to the Phillippine Air Force to convert into military craft in case of Japanese Invasion.

Ethiopia, too, has taken an interest in the Philippines; with the African Kingdom gifting one of its Battleships (acquired in the aftermath of the Great War) to the Island Nation after being paid to do so by the United States, the Philippines' former colonial overlord. The US' reasoning was that despite the Philippines' breakaway status, a Japanese or Chinese hegemony over the West Pacific was worse.
