	TALE OF THE Years 1889-1895 Suffering from ads?

The glorious people's republic of Apolytonia.

Though our days be dark, and our enemies many and powerful, they dominate the seas, but they do not deign to tread foot on the motherland.

We have just obtained the technology of Communism, but the strange sage of Oedo advises us to wait another year before the communist revolution can overthrow the decadent bourgeosie republic.

So to start the revolution, our useless improvements were cast into the forge to give us cash to buy what we need.

And to buy time for the success of the revolution, our devious diplomats met with the Egyptians and Persians to end our long and bitter wars, which have benefitted them naught.

So in the last year of the Old Republic, the people awaited their new day with both hope and befuddlement, since there had never been such a nation to grace the Earth in all their days.

Finally, the proletariat stirred from their looms, not yet having formed the industrial powers, but seeking the full benefit from their labour, now collected for the benefit of the gentry.

Our informants have notified us that the zealous Zulus have Robotics.

However, in a good omen as to the success of the revolution, our mighty tanks razed the empty town of Bear Paw and we stole the technology of Tactics

Our sages inform us that we can now build the men who ski even in the desert, a source of great puzzlement to our island nation.

As our tanks investigate the front, they notice that the foreign devils have been clever enough to tear up their roads to make a kill zone, between which they protect with their fleet. Our tanks would park themselves to rest, and then be at the mercy of shore bombardment.

Given the stalemate, the fledging revolutionary government signed peace once again, for in peace the nation may grow more than in 10 years of war.

However, the natives fear our military prowess, and offer 200 gold as they plead with us for a peace treaty, such gold will fuel the improvements that the state will undertake under the revolution.

Finally, as the last preparation, our generals decide to fortify the capital to prevent the revolutionaries from overturning the provisional govenment.

In the second year of the revolution, civil authority was estabished in all our cities, and the revolution quelled, and the rioters jailed. Though the people no longer produced as much trade, they no longer sought to line their own pockets.

With our new technology of Tactics, our diplomats sought to increase our military technology by trading with our former enemies for the technologies of ROCKETRY and METALLURGY, allowing us to build many new improvements and the unit of cruise missiles.

Now, we shall laugh as the navies that imprison our nation flee, and we open the seas to our ships at last.

Also, we will be able to protect our cities from shore bombardment, and deter their patrols with coastal fortresses.

Finally, to celebrate the success of the Revolution, entertainers are hired in the capital.

In year 3 of the revolution, a request is made by the bankers to build a banks so that the state can maintain a monopoly on the money supply, while allowing for the greater distribution of goods. Such a bank will allow us to fire the entertainers, as trade increases in the capital.

Just as you cannot have a proper communism without industrialisation, again we traded with our former enemies to gain INDUSTRIALISATION so that we can have fewer peasents and more proletariat.

Finally, our tank patrols report the city of Point of Rocks, SW of Wood Lake, with feeble defenses.

In year 4 of the Revolution, our jealous enemies, the Zulus sought to nip their persistent problem in the bud. They shell Apolytonia, but fail to defeat our defenses. In anticipation of such a move, we invest in a coastal fortress to deter such impudent attacks.

In negotiations with the Persians, they offer us a tempting alliance should we declare war on our common enemy, the siou. A tempting offer that must be discussed by the Politburo.

The fifth year was a relatively quiet year, as we were greeted and heartened by the defeat of yet another Zulu destroyer by the defenses of Apolytonia.

Also, our preparations in Utica will attempt to lift the blockade on our colonies. One wonders how our men ski on water.

In the 6th year of the revolution, our informants discover the amazing plans of the Celts. Rather than dominating the planet, they have decided to leave altogether by building the Apollo program. This bodes ill for the Revolution, as we will be defeated should they succeed in landing a spaceship.

We lack Nuclear weapons, possessed by the great powers, but we may obtain such marvelous weapons from the Egyptians who understand nuclear fission.

Unfortunately the defenses in Utica failed to lift the blockade.

Looks good, Premier Ben Kenobi! You have acquired astonishing technological discoveries, the better to bring the glorious revolution to the decadent capitalist/republican enemies! These will be put to good use to better the lot of the Workers.

	Put an end to popups!

I traded with them for Rocketry, and Nuclear Fission showed up on their list.
