The Japanese Cabinet debates the limited alliance with Germany under the A.E. annexation, and considers the possibility of allying with the A.E. in whole.

The Guinean Dictatorship's control over the recently annexed states has shown in a wide increase of economic, and agricultural production. Islamic influence slowly spreads throughout the rest of Guinea.
Oracle looked through the scientists' reports. They had begun using test drugs on lab rats. A few of the rats exhibited signs of increased hypersensitivity and memory. Many others developed horrendous mutations and terminated.
"Needs more work." Oracle thought to himself. He filed reports back to the scientists informing further research was necessary.
Invasion of Canada with 15 armies. Leave one army in Canada and move one to Alaska. The rest of the remaining forces, if any, will move to the mainland of Britannia.
Researching KNIGHTMARE Frame and Deployment - Automatically replace armies with KNIGHTMARE Frames. Realistically count as double what the deployment says. (Knightmare armies are twice as powerful as normal armies) Also halves all current armies at the time of completion and then replaces them with KNIGHTMARE armies. KNIGHTMARE Frames are mechs meant to traverse all terrain. In calculator, use twice the amount of armies we realistically have. Production remains the same. Similar to 1% global increase in army production at the cost of 1 research post. Takes 120 posts, 100 to make up for power and 20 to replace current armies.
Researching Living Conditions "improved" for Homeland - Propaganda and social Darwinism will spread due to superiority over other territories.
Researching Incentive to invade Canada - Give reason to invade Canada without arousing suspicion.
As the President wakes up, he hears of the dreaded news: Canada has been invaded. Rather than take action against the newly found American CISCum, none of the research had been done in Canada, and what remained of Omnl's army was resting in a cold, inhospitable, and dark place in the midst of the December nights. Attention returns to Russia, as the nearby armies prepare to invade China, India, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan.
"Sir, gound team says they have the explosives in place and are bugging out." "Exquisite. Tell them they have permission to detonate when ready. Commander Mason."
Mason wheeled around. His beret was red simply because he was on Fox's command staff - it may as well have been Green, because of his duties with the Armoured.
"Yes, Sir?" "I need seven armoured brigades ready to roll. I'll have Anders pull out the stops at the docks. And, brush up on your French."
Mason saluted smartly and left to get things in order. Fox prepared a message for Commander Anders.
In this turn, Seven Armoured Brigades are going to attack the French mainland. Whatever forces are left over in Occupied France will remain there, and conversion of local facilities for the Phoenix war effort will begin immediately.
Armoured Vehicle Overhauls - 6/20 The Phoenix Imperium hasn't engaged in war since the conflicts that created it. A new, state-of-the-art series of vehicles is going to be required for overland warfare. Ministry projections estimate it as giving a 10% edge in combat effectiveness over other armoured formations. Specifications are available on demand.

The resounding victory of the ABFEDeration's armies over their unloved neighbor echoed through the nation. Nertian progressives applauded the move, agreeing with the Reul'Zhargon for once. The Wertians were less enthusiastic, but were nonetheless pleased with the news of a possible solution to their economic problems. Sertian economic analysts were ecstatic with the news. The nation was happy on all fronts, minus New Zealand, where governmental negotiations continue to finalize their annexation.
ABFEDeration forces have been divided evenly between the two countries, 7 for each.

EDIT: In the future, feel free to do your own battles. We'll just have to use the honor system that you are being honest about the results and that they were the first run of the simulation. That way you can actually update your own map in the post in which the battle happens.
Military personnel were working on the underground headquarters around the clock, clearing rock and leveling the floors. The main headquarters and strategic command stations were already in place. There would soon be a massive research facility connected through various underground tunnels. Security was also a must. The strongest alloys of titanium are what composed the doors to each room, requiring both a hand and eye scanner to proceed into each. As they worked Oracle thought of his plans for future research while propaganda radio began seeping through all of the citizen's stations.
The commander handed Oracle a field report on the attack on France by the Phoenix Imperium. He read the report carefully, noting the amount and type of forces used during the attack, and the results.
I'd like to do some RP for this post, but I have to go real quick, so I'm going to be lame and claim this is mostly so I can issue an updated map. Either way it just would have been something about how France is under Military Authority and manufacturing centers are being appropriated.

Other nations are now quite naturally very much pissed off at you. Especially China. They demand that you hand over Mongolia as reparation for your attempt to conquer them, or they will take it by force. Other nations in the area are spurred by your actions to begin to prepare for their defense (basically they'll have six armies each now if they border those). But hey, you've got a lot of population now, so that's cool.
The Reul'Zhargon proposes to the Swenet and Yunslous a potential partnership with the CAR. They agree that a partnership should be proposed to the CAR, and hope to hear back soon.

Notable Actions Redirected all manufacturing to Britannia Homeland in an effort to raise troops there. Two bonuses are for reinforcements in homeland. Started Bodyarmor for Knightmare pilots and infantry.
News Broadcast:Reports show that Germany's attack on the Adventum Headquarters was done with assistance by neighboring countries Austria and the Czech Republic. More investigation will be covered in tonight's news broadcast.

"The Grand Invasion" The CAR Alliance has begun an unpredictably successful sweep of Kazakhstan, India, and Mongolia, with China being the exception to the widespread attack. The CAR Alliance managed to conquer Kazakhstan, India, and Mongolia with 6 armies, in divisions of 3 groups. The 2 remaining armies, against China's 5, eliminated 2 while also being defeated themselves. China has demanded that the CAR Alliance turn over control of Mongolia in light of the failed attempt to conquer it, with a warning that a negative response would trigger a forceful action. With 8 armies against a total of 20, the wagers of war favored the 8, giving control of 3 more countries to the CAR Alliance.

The ABFEDeration seeks to establish a "partnership" with the CAR Alliance, and has proposed the idea with expectations for a hopeful response. The ABFED is also continuing to negotiate with the New Zealand government, which is actively under their jurisdiction. The country's recent success is met with positive responses by the people, while the New Zealand occupants do not take their results lightly.

Brittania's Emperor, Charles zi Brittania, has encountered tragedy, and conveys this grief to his people in a speech of respects to his son, Clovis Brittania, who died in Canada as a diplomat. The Emperor has also dubbed Canada and Alaska to be Area 1 and Area 2. It is rumored that these Areas are being ruled with "specialized" enforcements, limitations, and jurisdictions.
"...secured government and manufacturing facilities and are reporting limited public... disagreement." "Good. Unfortunately, they'll have to stay under military authority for now."
Fox and Mason went their seperate ways at the hallway intersection, as they had different business to attend to. Hayashi apparantley had some new idea for an automated defense system she was eager to reveal.

The ABFEDeration is growing uneasy with all of the imperialism sweeping the world. It may only be a matter of time before another nation decides it is time to sweep them aside. The Yunslous has recognized this, and has requested that the Reul'Zhargon commissions a number of defensive measures for the safety of the people. He obliges, and work has begun on the first of a string of defensively-prone actions. The two houses convey their thoughts to the Swenet, who relay their ideas to the people. Some Nertians have called this maneuver silly and unnecessary, but it is a movement accepted overall.

A great military leader named Alex has arisen in Macedonia. He proceeds to annex Montenegro and Albania, but he only has one army left afterward. Sadly he choked on his tea after the battle. No alliances are affected.
Also I changed the map to reflect the nations around Dhoom's area of control preparing for war.
"...would involve a series of semiautomated defense turrets, as well as several key artillery and coastal defense batteries. Simulations show that the system would be as effective as a garrison of ten brigades in the event of seige, but you know how those kinds of comparisons work."
Hayashi pulled up another image and began getting into greater specifics of the system. It seemed almost foolproof - in the notion that there could be no downside to the project - and the estimates for construction given by the Corps of Engineers were almost incredible.
The Imperium would be making some enemies in the coming months. Construction would have to begin yesterday.

Emperor Charles zi Britannia - "Today, we formally establish Area 1 and Area 2 as territories of the Holy Britannian Empire!
Emperor Charles zi Britannia officially establishes Area 1 and Area 2- previously known as Canada and Alaskan independent states- as territories to The Holy Britannian Empire. Morale is the areas is low but work continues under fear. The Britannian homeland and indeed its people are filled with pride. Rumors surface of 'Secondary Citizenship' or 'Subcit' for short. Such titles would grant numbers 'equal' standing among Britannians. A false title, but one that gives hope to the numbers and to the area ghettos where the numbers reside.
Area 1
The smell of explosives and dead bodies is still present even after a month of Canada's defeat in Britannia's invasion and the subsequent annexation and renaming to "Area 1". The 'numbers' or previous residents of Area 1 are treated as subhumans at best. Clean water and steady jobs are nearly impossible to come by. The areas where the Britannians reside are of much higher quality. Gleaming white towers mark the new cities which were erected with almost unreal speed. The Britannian Mainland rules over its areas with an iron fist. Social Darwinism runs rampant and the numbers do naught but live under their command. Media, art, even communications are moderated by the Britanniam homeland. At first, the natives were weary of the propaganda. Steadily, however, they have been falling under its spell.
Area 2
Alaska was taken with much ease. With President Leamy's lack of military forces in Alaska, Britannia captured it quickly. Now dubbed, 'Area 2'. Life is harsh, communication has been cut off with Canada for about a week now. It is well known that living conditions there are much the same as they are in Area 2. Poor for the natives, but incredibly lavish for actual 'Britannians'. Still, even if the Britannians take advantage of the native's workforce and resources. The area is well defended now. Or at least it is becoming apparent that the Emperor has no intention of losing Area 2 to foreign invaders anytime soon.

The report the lieutenant had handed him was straightforward. Things were going relatively smoothly in France, which had finished it's first full Brigade. France was also being shipped newly-constructed units from the Isles in order to build up it's forces. It would be the launch platform for the taking of the rest of the European West Coast.
Speaking of which, the report went on to mark progress in the forgery of an elaborate hoax. Originally to put Spain and Portugal in the limelight, Fox had ordered it expand to include the Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. A conspiracy this deep to destroy the Imperium as an economic rival would be difficult to challenge.
The Phoenix Imperium has officially accepted a Non-Agression Pact with Brittania. It's always nice not to have enemies, but it's also nice to not run out of RP material, which is why it was not mentioned in this post.

Commander:"Imperator, our forces have conquered Austria."
Oracle looked at the holographic globe as Austria turned green along with Germany and the Adventum Homeland. He swiped his fingers across each one, making red arrows point towards the Czech Republic.
Oracle:"Continue to move all forces into the Czech Republic. Once they have been conquered, disperse all troops evenly throughout the Empire. Any odd amount of troops will go directly to the Homeland."
The holographic globe turned slowly as Oracle moved it to look at France. He had read the field reports regarding the forces of the Phoenix Imperium and felt it would be best to leave them alone for now.
With the conquering of Austria Oracle would now have the ability to put more research into human enhancement. As he moved away from the globe he called over one of the head scientists from the temporary lab.
"Have all experts in the field of prosthetic research develop schematics for artificial limbs stronger and faster than ordinary limbs." Oracle talked with the scientist as he walked through the temporary lab. A new, much larger lab was slowly being built inside an adjacent room in the new Adventum HQ.
Oracle stepped into the meeting room. So far all it had was a charcoal glass desk and a white backdrop all in front of a studio camera. He sat down in front of the camera to begin a television broadcast in Austria.
Broadcast:"Good evening friends and fellow Adventums. Today you have been given the gift of knowledge unknown to the rest of the world. Today, you learn the secrets behind becoming more. Today, you will understand exactly why the future of human enhancement will change the face of history forever."
The broadcast switched to a video containing information about transhumanism and its benefits.
