Germany - Internal Affairs:

The German Parliamentary elections have now been held again, with a coalition of Centreist and right-wing parties making startling gains in popularity, due mainly to the propserity of most Germans and the seeming irrelevwnace of the welfare state, along with the fear generated by the recent terrorist attacks. Although the social democrats have maanged to stay in power by wooing some minor parties away from the coalition, their hold has been greatly weakened and their policies have taken a turn to the right, altohugh there has been no great effect on Germany so far.

From: MCCP

Great, we shall begin digging starting from this year, and we accept your proposal about the high speed train lain.

------------------

The Mediterranean Government have started massive pubblic works, as to improve the infrastructures of the country, and to give a good job to the currently high percentage of unemployed.
This will soon lead to greater prosperity in the MCCP.

The Indian Space program has put their first person in space, with more to follow soon. Projects and experiments are being prepared with space technology and expertise steadily advancing to only slightly behing that of the other nations.

Meanwhile, SECRETLY...

Tests with advanced chemical and biological weapons as well as delivery systems have been started, applicable results expected to begin appearing within the next few years. Missile launch sites and bunkers are being consturcted inside Indian borders and other strategic locations, hidden by the simultaneous construction of advanced immediate military response centers and garrisons/stockpiles.

Chinese Projects:
New tank design complete.
(secret)
The tank's main gun is 120mm. It also has a foward 50 cal. machine gun on the main turret. The Armor uses depleted Uranium making most anti tanks weapons useless against it(simmular to the armor in the Abrams M1 A2 tank), The tank can reach speeds of 35 mph. It uses computers to controll the firing of the main gun so that it can fire well moving. It also has smoke screens that it can deploy to help hide it.
It is now entering battle field trails and will be put into mass production in the next year.

Night vesion and Thermal vesion project: 4 years
investimited into computer reseach: The government is now giving billions of dollars to private companies to devolope their own mircochips(will not steal anyones designs, but our scientist are visting computer science departments in Germany and USA.) IT is hoped that Chinese companies can soon compete with the growing German electronic industry.

THe Moon project is going anlong very nicely, with the first Chinese growing into orbit. More flights will be made to test the equiment that will be need to make the final trip to the moon over the next few years.

To USSR:
We see the finaly pockets of resisentence falling. Soon our lands will once again belong to their rightfull owners.

To World:
We see that many nations are trying to produce more and more nuclear weapons, and more powerfull ones as well. We request in the name of peace to draft a treaty limiting the production of these weapons.

Germany - Diplomacy:

To China: We will support you in your efforts to bring about nuclear disarmament. While a nuclear arsenal is the ultimate mechanism of defence for a nation, the proliferation of nukes in a tense international environment may well bring about the apocalypse.

To France (secret: You may buy as many as you wish, as long as you can pay for them.

Germany - Economy:

Noting the rise of competetion in other nations, the German government has increased the state subisidies to the elctornics industry even further, cutting tazes and providing state funding for research projects. The industry is now the single largest industry in Germany, growing at a staggering rate, and the products of it are revoltuionising productrion in the res tof the economy as well.

germany - Production:

As a result of recent advances in computer technology, German scientists made breakthroughs in the ABM project. Limited defence capacities are avilable already, verified by the test-firing of several missiles form the Middle East, and Full capacities will be available in abotu five years. As matters stand now, Germany is efffectively invulnerable to any nuclear attack smaller than Medium. Full defence will increase the upper limit to Large.

Germany - Internal Affairs:

Police recently arrested several Islamist terrorists from Egypt attampting to blow up the Bundestag and bring down the German government. As a result of this, they have managed to break up a large terrorist network within Germany, who had a number of terrorist actions all in an advanced stage of planning. The police force has been strengthened, but otherwise no action has been taken in response.

Germany - Miltiary Actions:

As the Egyptian army has launched a moderately succesful campaign to bring Ethiopia and Somalia back under their control, several divisions of German roops, supported by the air force based in the Yemen, have moved in to support the local militias.

All branches of the Indian military have reached Very Large, even though their skill and technology is mediocre. The government has declared that the upgrading won't stop until they reach Huge.

Primitive obvservation satellites have been launched and are orbiting geosynchronously above Canada, South Africa, and China. Their suspicious size and bulk has been explained by the space agency as being due to the simple and imperfect technology employed.


India to Germany (SECRET) :

We are concerned about this subsidization. We were under the impression that we both agreed not to do that in order to allow market mechanisms to ultimately prodcue better and cheaper equipment. Why have you done this, even though you already lead in the field?

[foolish_icarus]

India to Germany (SECRET) :

by the way, don't worry about the radiation coming from our satellites, they work on nuclear power.

[GeneralTacticus]

Germany - Diplomacy:

To India (secret): Our subsidies are not intended to harm your own electronics industry and do not prevent your products from competing in the marketplace; they mainly take the form of low-interest loans and grants for new firms or research projects. They are available to any any operations in Germany, so your own companies are free to make use of them as long as the project for which they are being employed is taking place here.

Germany - Economy:

German investment throughout the world, powered by vast profits from the oil and electronics industries (especially the recently-tapped reserves in Somalia), is increasing rapdiyl, with many areas in which it has taken place virtually owned by German coprorations. The main focal points of this have been France, China, and the rebel-held areas of Egypt.

Germany - Military Actions:

With the increasing threat of terrorism creating a climate of fear in Germany, police pwoers ahve been furhter boosted to assist in counter-terrorist operations and troops have been placed on high alert in every area within striking distance of Egypt, with more being moved in. The border on the Sinai between Egypt and Germany (or Israel, more precisely) is now the most militarised place on earth.

To All Nations of World:
We are going to hold a confrence on non proliferation of nuclear arms in our Capital. We invite all nations to come to this confrence and urge them to send representives to the confrence. We must stop the massive build up of nuclear arms before it is too late. Even a misstake can cause the launch of these weapons and destroy the world.

Night vesion and Thermal vesion project: 2 years

Moon landing: 3 years untill manned mission to moon.

Satellites will start to be lauched by Chinese government. Privitate busniess all already have their own communication satellites, and now the government will launch both spy satellites and millitary communication satellites.

Naval build up to Huge(6 years):
The Chinese navy in response to build up of Italy will start to build by their navy. Three more super carriers will be built. Also destroyers and attack subs and subs able to launch nuclear weapons will be made as well. The Chinese are also looking into using machine guns will computer controll to use them to shoot down missles and airplanes that get close to ships(US navy has a system already in place that can shoot down missles by tracking them with a computer and radar and sprying and missle will machine gun fire, thousands of rounds untill it blows up).
