Welcome to the World 2010. This story thread/war thread will be a little bit more fair due to that it is ten years in the future. You can claim any area of the world, although suggesting small. Rules:
1.The continental USA will be split into two main parts. Hawaii and Alaska are also independent states.
2. You can be more imaginative, due to it is in 10 years. Note the fact that nothing will really change in 10 years, though. But Politically and economicly, yes.
3.The only 3rd World area is Africa excluding Egypt and South Africa.
4. You CAN start colonies anywhere in the world, including Antartica.
5.Large Laser defences are the only form of "futuristic" weapons.
6.You should also be realistic.
7.IF you want to be the leaders of the UN, you have to swear to protect small human-controlled nations. (IE not like BIG)
8.Also note the fact that the former CIS countries are about to crumble, so if you are the whole thing of the CIS, prepare for civil war. The CIS armies are small.
I am President Jean-Paul Luc of Greater France, which includes France, the Lowlands, Monaco, Andorra, area surrounding Geneva, and the Rhineland.
So join the World 2010!

Hmmm. If that's the case than we need a Germany to kick France's ass and retake the Rhineland. Only one thing I see a problem with. No Rhineland for France!! Come on the Germans wouldn't give it to the Frogs that easily and there would have to be a major partisan problem.

The Election of Don Quixote marked a turning point in the history of Mexico. He is an optimist, how strives only to bring greater prosperity to the peoples of Latin America. With a true 'uncorruptable' in office, commerce for once thrived, and poverty was lifted to a level previously unheard of before. Heavy industry has been concentrated into small 'pollutable' areas, and as many Rainforests as possible have been preserved, as tourist areas. Mining is done in the rainforests, which is the best use for them, because once the valuable ores have been mined out, the rainforests will heal over. These mining operations also have as little impact as possible on the Rainforest.
Mexico, by 2004, had established itself as one of the rising stars of e-commerce, and other high-tech industries. Crime is lowering, and individual freedoms are rising.
By 2006, Mexico had annexed Guatemala, Belize, and El Salvador, bringing Quixote's enlightened rule to those impoverished states as well.
By 2008, Honduras and Nicaragua voted themselves into Mexico, which was promptly renamed the ULA, or the Union of Latin America.
Now, with 2010 at hand, the ULA prepares to finish it's stunning coup, and take Costa Rica and Panama. The ULA air force has been brought up to readiness, and the "Conquistador" style tanks have been brought to the front.
Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, Hondurans, Guatamalens, and many others, are united to bring the rest of their brothers in with them into their enlightened brotherhood.
Viva Don Quixote!

OOC: I shall take Russia, the Baltic States, Belorussia, the Ukraine, and Poland, since someone took Germany two minutes before I was going to post claiming it.
*Looks at Bearcat.*

Long had the nations of the Neo-Warsaw Pact waited for this moment. Since 2002, they had bided their time, building up their military forces, improving their economies, and mostly waiting. President Vladimir Putin had long since consolidated power in Russia and made himself absolute ruler of Neo-Warsaw Pact. Democracy still existed, but the Putin could override the Parliament at any time.

The Neo-Warsaw Pact condemns French expansionism and publicly announces that it will support any actions taken by the German Empire against France.
To further emphasize its actions, the Neo-Warsaw Pact has fully moblized its military and stands ready to assist the Germans in destroying France.

OOC: *sigh* Yeah...exactly what this forum needs, more competition...you know, it's hard enough to keep one modern thread alive, now you have to go for two? Geez...Bill, just come back to BIG and take another nation or something...
Fine, I claim Taiwan and China (PRC and ROC) under the flag of the Republic of China...

Sigma Gallentious watching the proceedings with a tear coming to his eye. It was all so beautiful, the hall of mirrors and the the happy faces of the people around. Sigma was coronated as the United Nation's first ever Prime Director at the palace of versailles in a motion to further strengten the UN as a buffer against future wars. While the UN still must obey majority opinions, it now has the power of independent activity and holds a small but highly trained independent armed forces. A new era for mankind had truly begun as 5 Eurofighters thundered overhead.(ooc: ever heard of GDI from command and conquer?.......)

OOc - Well no it's not really personal against Bill it's the whole France has the Rhine. Persoanlly I don't think that could happen but if it did the Germans would go to war over it. Especially if you got a nationalistic government like mine. After all Bill wanted realism.

In 2005, the Reunification took place - and Ireland was a nation once again.
Ireland was fast gaining a great reputation for military power abroad, as the peacekeeping missions in East Timor and Lebanon failed, a kind of semi-colonialism took place.
With the collapse of the United Kingdom, the Celtic Federation (as Ireland's new semi-empire was called) landed a large number of troops in Wales and Scotland, and proclaimed them protectorates.
The democratic republic in Ireland were too weak to control such a large land area, and a bloodless coup established General stodlum
OOC:
Ireland, Lebanon, Timor, Kosovo as (colonies) and Wales and Scotland (protectorates, but pay taxes to me  )

The year 2004 marked the end of an era. Referanda in Scotland and Wales led to the dissolving of the United Kingdom, as only England was left. The rest of the United Kingdom was now in Celtic hands. After French expansionism in the Lowlands, Switzerland and Germany, several North European countries decided that they should join forces to keep up with the other European powers. England was weakened, but still one of the stronger European nations, and Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark decided that it would be in their best interest to seek support from England before further aggression from Russia or France. By 2008, further integration was being planned, and a common currency was being introduced. The pound continued where the euro stopped when the European Union dissolved, and is the new currency in these North European territories. Elections in early 2009 led to a victory for the nationalists, who are determined to return the United Kingdom and Scandinavia to its former glory. All British overseas possessions were now in English hands, and in late 2009, Malta decided to return to the safe British rule. Peace treaties are being offered to all nations.
OOC:
A few things:
1) I realize my claim is somewhat big, but as that seems to be the standard in this thread, I'll stick with it. I'll consider cutting back when the other nations do as well, I don't want to cripple myself beforehand.
2) How will we decide on the military stuff and such? I mean, there's no possible way to know how the armies will look like in ten years, nor what technologies are being used (fusion, maglev, polytrinics, electrochromatic panels, etc.) We need to decide on that before people start about their super-duper technology...

The CF has sent the State of Cymru's navy up to the Isle of man. The disenchanted people on the small island were divided - their Celtic heritage and Gaelic traditions - and the loyalty of some to the crown.
The navy sent a military expedition to the council (an unnoficial body) to uhh... talk to the councillors.
Expecting force, the brave Manxmen fought against the Irish/Welsh troops, but the next day councillor O'7 talked to the people, and announced that they were joining the CF. No british response has been recieved, however the single navy base is full of fear, as they don't know what to do when the CF troops arrive.

Leaders from Slovakia, Moldova, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Kazakhstan, and the Caucasus nations met in Moscow to sign on as members to the Neo-Warsaw Pact. They will join as military and economic members only. Eventually they may be integrated politically with the rest of the Neo-Warsaw Pact. Rumors of blackmail have been hotly denied by the Russian foreign office.
The military forces of the Neo-Warsaw Pact remain fully moblized, in the event of further French aggression.
At an airbase outside Minsk
Colonel Sergasovitch watched as the convoy of trucks began to arrive on the base. Hundreds of trucks. Each one carried several mysterios canisters covered in warning labels.
Sergasovitch looked over the tarmac. Sitting in neat rows were squadron after squadron of Tupolev Backfire, Blinder, Bear, and Blackjack bombers. Well over two hundred warplanes. The scene had been the same at every airbase he had been to in the last week. Almost every single bomber in the Russian air force had been brought to the bases in the west.
To Sergasovitch, it was a mystery. It would not stay a mystery to him, or the world, for very long...

Today, the Flag of the Empire of Japan stands at its mightiest peak ever.
In the past Ten years, Japan has thrown out it's referendum on defense spending seeing the turmoil in the world unfolding before it. It has decided to use its supreme economic power to dominate the global economy... through any means possible. An unfolding American unity meant more tech exchange abroad, and as the U.S. technology was slowly nearing a halt in advance, Japan was more than eager to begin exchanges in high-tech advances for military application technology.
To this ends, Japan has rebuilt it's military machine. It took 8 long years of reconstruction, but Japan was finally able to pull off what the world could not. A working SDI system. It was done cheaply too. Simply a system of 40 Sattelites in orbit with a payload of depleted uranium slugs and each armed with four linear accelerators. Not powerful under the effects of gravity, but in a gravity-less environ with the speed of the earth behind the 4-ounce slugs, well, you get the picture.
In addition, the ranks of the military have become quite swollen. Service is compulsory and there are some 2.4 million in the military. Without battleships this time around, the IJN has been rebuilt as well. A crash program employing foreign and domestic shipyards has given the Japanese one of the Largest navies in the World. Japanese military doctrine revolves around the Navy now.
The crash program has built the following (In addition to the standing 12 Destroyers, 18 subs, and 55 Frigates)
12 Fleet Carriers
5 Attack Carriers
3 Landing Support Carriers
40 Multirole Frigates
50 Multirole Destroyers
20 Seawolf-type Submarines
40 Virginia-type Submarines
and a merchant marine fleet of nearly 110 ships has been constructed as well.
An F-22 variant, the Reisen-II was also developed through cooperation with a disunionized America. There is a naval and land version. Approximately 700 serve with Japanese forces. An updated and improved A-6 force bought from America and sporting the newest Avionics, also serves with the navy and air force. Numbers are estimated around 600.
Japan still maintains a strongly anti-nuclear position.
However, in the past 10 years, the strains of following Middle eastern oil supplies has angered Japanese citizens and officials. That is why at the moment, 10 Carriers and a marine force of 140,000 are making there way to stretch the arms of the Empire throughout the Pacific.
It is expected that the Philippines and Borneo will fall within the week, and Indonesia within the month after landings take place. (Which is all secret as of yet, that is).
